00:00:00.000
look let me tell you right now i am sold on trump in fact i'll say this
00:00:07.500
i think he's got a good shot at going down in history as one of our best presidents ever
00:00:14.300
that is a real turnaround because you didn't want to vote for him i i i told you the reason i want
00:00:20.120
to tell you i'm a believer what what i'm seeing happening is is absolutely nothing short of of a
00:00:26.920
great thing and and there's a beat now people are walking with more bounce in there i'm it's all
00:00:33.520
around i gave you quite a bit of grief huh i gave you grief you're giving grief i gave you grief when
00:00:39.320
it was a binary choice you're still complaining about trump and it was a binary choice it's like
00:00:42.900
are you kidding me knowledge implies one thing when you made a mistake admit it okay i think this guy
00:00:49.900
is turning out to be a president right one of the pilots on that miraculous trip to iran
00:00:56.820
that we wiped out whatever the hell we wiped out right he said you're the only guy that in the
00:01:02.760
presidency that would have done what you did one of the pilots said that yeah and you know what
00:01:07.480
he's probably right hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you
00:01:13.280
with us that's former uh home depot ceo founder ken langone a very very rich man who didn't support
00:01:20.040
president trump for his re-election bid just a few months ago but taking it like a man going on live
00:01:26.660
television in front of an audience of millions of people admitting he was wrong that's what people
00:01:32.520
with brains do that's what people with consciences do that's what real people do so great on ken langone
00:01:37.520
for understanding that donald trump is on the way to making america great again and he's doing
00:01:43.940
doing that just swellingly so far we're gonna be joined by mark mitchell in just a few moments
00:01:50.460
and pollster for rasmussen he's got some new numbers for us that don't look so good as for
00:01:56.260
the approval rating and things like that but it's not having anything to do with the economy
00:02:00.840
the numbers are down and they're falling we're going to take up just what's going on now so new
00:02:07.520
inflation numbers out today which if you listen to the mainstream media they're going to tell you
00:02:11.760
president trump's tariffs are driving inflation through the roof inflation for the month of june
00:02:16.460
came in at 2.7 percent um 0.3 percent higher than it was the previous month but looking back where we
00:02:23.380
were in january we're at three percent we're still down 0.3 percent from where we were when president
00:02:27.820
trump took office so jerome powell has said that everything's going great the economy's great which
00:02:36.040
is why he won't cut rates he said he wants to see what's happening with inflation well we've got a
00:02:41.060
little uptick 0.3 percent uptick in inflation so maybe it's now for jerome time for jerome powell
00:02:46.680
to put his money where his mouth is and cut the rates for america the interest rates that is america
00:02:53.100
still sits currently at four and a half percent donald trump has called on him to raise it to rather
00:02:57.720
lower it a percent possibly even more when you look just to north up in canada not that we can compare
00:03:04.640
canada uh to uh us as for gdp but canada sits at two and three quarters 2.75 percent it's time for
00:03:14.640
america to level the playing field when you look uh just across the pond as they like to say it over
00:03:20.380
in germany sitting around two percent as most uh european countries switzerland is is at zero now i'm
00:03:26.900
not advocating that we should be anywhere near zero but uh we need to level the playing field with
00:03:31.640
other countries to stay competitive uh with where they're at at least to keep our economy going
00:03:39.040
folks you all know the old saying don't throw stones when you live in glass houses well that's
00:03:44.760
what the democrats like to do and they've done it for the last 10 years against donald trump
00:03:48.620
adam schiff becoming the latest to be exposed now he's been exposed many times before but today he was
00:03:55.800
really exposed apparently there's an indictment coming or an investigation rather coming
00:04:00.940
with adam schiff possibly committing some type of mortgage fraud now schiff of course is the
00:04:07.680
senator from california but he may have told the banks that his home where he lives when he's in dc
00:04:14.320
in maryland is his primary home adam schiff refinanced his home in 2009 again in 2010 again in 2011 and again
00:04:23.480
in 2013 why would you be doing that why would you be refinancing your house that much and also if you're
00:04:30.140
the senator from california how are you selling that you're from maryland how are you claiming that
00:04:36.360
as your primary residence this is the same thing tish james did was caught for it same thing that now
00:04:43.180
retiring senator tom tillis has been accused of these are the same people now who have accused
00:04:50.320
donald trump of wrongdoing throughout the last few years but they're really the ones who have been
00:04:56.080
committing the crimes it makes zero sense to me that democrats are this stupid this dumb i guess
00:05:03.300
it should make more sense to me uh but for accusing donald trump of doing the things that they're merely
00:05:08.820
doing themselves literally exposing themselves for the frauds and the corrupt con artists that they are
00:05:16.760
so i promised you we're going to go through some of trump's latest poll numbers on the other side of
00:05:22.200
this break we're going to be joined by my good friend mark mitchell of rasmussen reports to get
00:05:27.060
his take on why donald trump's poll numbers are falling what's behind it all is it fake is it real
00:05:33.620
can he rebound will this have an effect on the 2026 midterms will it affect 2028 what do the people
00:05:41.320
want to see more of what do they want to see less of we're going to get all of that from mark mitchell
00:05:45.460
one of the leading pollsters in this country right now that one of the most accurate pollsters
00:05:48.980
in this country uh we're going to get his take on it just on the other side of this quick break folks
00:05:53.940
please stay with us we appreciate you spending a part of your tuesday with us here on the great
00:05:58.060
america show we're coming right back after this quick message please stay with us
00:06:01.880
and now folks as promised the great mark mitchell mark you called me this morning you said you've got
00:06:12.540
some new numbers for me you said they're not good we're in a lot of trouble what's going on
00:06:18.980
people need to put their big boy panties on this is like this is game time for trump this could be
00:06:23.760
his afghanistan if things don't turn around listen his net approval was lower this cycle it was down
00:06:30.800
to negative five but it's at negative four right now what happened the last time it was this low the
00:06:35.540
market imploded 15 trump just signed the one big beautiful bill less than two weeks ago it's his
00:06:40.860
signature legislation he should be soaring right now it's also the summer it should be just like
00:06:45.600
drifting but it's literally 47 underwater four points right now and it's been dropping it's down
00:06:51.780
from plus eight just two or three weeks ago people are like oh what can be causing it well the only
00:06:56.820
thing i think is this complete and utter rug pull about epstein and i know a lot of people don't like
00:07:02.340
talking about this topic anymore but with these new numbers i have this isn't going away i mean we can
00:07:07.580
get into them but the the big question here is which is closer to your opinion the epstein case is now
00:07:13.160
closed like the trump administration said or there are dozens of powerful and wealthy offenders who
00:07:19.080
need to face justice epstein case now closed is only 16 it's only 14 of democrats 20 of republicans
00:07:27.920
14 of independents and then the dozens of powerful and wealthy pedos at 68 so america doesn't give a
00:07:35.680
crap about this list america wants their elitist better scumbags prosecuted yeah and the messaging
00:07:43.220
on it has been just uh i mean atrocious right you mentioned everyone's tired of talking about it
00:07:48.980
because it's beating a dead horse at this point right we're not getting anything else is what they
00:07:52.400
tell us that's it it's case closed i mean it's business as usual for the government right we've been
00:07:56.500
told this with just about everything the 9-11 documents the jfk documents the rfk documents the mlk
00:08:01.200
document we've just been fed a bunch of bullshit okay so we look at this but the messaging on this
00:08:06.900
has been off they could have this could have all been prevented if pam bondy just came out and shut
00:08:13.000
her stupid mouth she came out and she said we have a rolls royce for you coming in two weeks two weeks
00:08:20.320
came and she had a hyundai elantra sitting in the driveway that's what the problem is here what people
00:08:25.640
i think are missing it's been messaging not necessarily the documents if there are documents if there are
00:08:30.800
documents i don't know but the messaging on it mark i think is the crux to the whole entire thing
00:08:36.860
the way it was done 100 100 94 of american voters think that it's important that public officials
00:08:46.120
are held to the same standard as other citizens 94 you don't see numbers above 90 like hardly ever
00:08:53.720
so that's that's polling 100 literally nobody wants two-tiered justice and people voted trump in
00:09:00.200
because they're sick of the government and the way that it does stuff like this and so in my opinion
00:09:04.520
you could say well maybe epstein's the most important thing maybe it's not but it is certainly
00:09:08.500
a canary in the coal mine and looks like potentially a waterloo moment because trump is hemorrhaging
00:09:13.940
political capo right now and so here's the thing that makes me so mad like this presto change oh nothing
00:09:20.580
to see here trust me bro people voted trump in because biden and the democrats destroyed trust in the
00:09:27.160
federal government by doing things like this so it's like well if this is what this if this is how
00:09:33.720
we're handling epstein how are we going to handle the fact that we raided mar-a-lago with deadly force
00:09:39.120
right how are we going to handle the fact that the fbi collaborated to help hillary clinton try to get
00:09:45.500
elected with the email scandal how are we going to look at all that stuff and the answer is probably not
00:09:50.040
looks like you know pfizer is probably going to get off scot-free like literally every piece of
00:09:55.560
accountability trump voters thought they were getting and a whole bunch of independents it looks
00:10:00.320
like it's not going to happen you spend an unhealthy amount of time on twitter i'm just behind you a
00:10:05.300
little bit with a little bit less of an unhealthy amount of time and what i get from twitter mark is
00:10:09.840
people coming after us saying well you guys are anti-maga you hate trump that's total bs i love the man
00:10:17.700
personally i love the man i love his policies what's the chances mark that all of us right who support
00:10:24.500
this man who support everything he's done for the last 10 years all of a sudden we now turn on him
00:10:28.880
right we didn't turn on him when the access hollywood tape came out we didn't turn on him when
00:10:33.780
when uh he didn't hold hillary clinton accountable in 2016 we didn't turn on him various points along
00:10:40.600
the way but now all of a sudden we're anti-maga we're anti-america first because we're holding him
00:10:46.320
to the standard of which he told us it doesn't mean we're anti-maga it doesn't mean we're anti-america
00:10:50.860
first i'm extremely pro on both i just don't want him to hurt himself over something totally
00:10:58.680
unnecessary and that's what a lot of these people don't understand we're not saying this out of
00:11:03.280
hatred for donald trump it has nothing to do with that we're doing it to try to get him to fix it
00:11:09.200
before it's too late that's right 100 and this is very easily fixable people might not know this
00:11:16.220
because there's been so much gaslighting and conflation of issues here i don't think america
00:11:21.040
actually wants to see the videos of child sexual material i think they want to see the actual list
00:11:26.340
they probably wouldn't even trust the list when they're asking for the list fbi it means it's
00:11:32.220
because they don't trust you to do the investigation we have an 11 billion dollar a year fbi if you can
00:11:38.020
very well go out and get new evidence on this they can have victims give depositions they could look at
00:11:43.460
plane flight logs they could do all kinds of stuff are they it sounds like they just don't want to
00:11:48.700
like they just literally don't want to and listen as far as maga goes i don't think i'm maga and so
00:11:54.420
i'm absolutely unencumbered on uh you know i will call a spade a spade and this is horrifying and here's
00:12:00.920
why i think okay i think trump's numbers will probably recover i really do they might not be as high as
00:12:07.340
they were i think they're going to come back up i don't think he's going to get into the 30s
00:12:10.940
but democrats are plus two in the generic ballot right now and it looks like the house is a foregone
00:12:16.480
conclusion probably the senate too and so what that means is that trump's ability to fix these
00:12:21.360
problems even if if he wanted to i don't know it's questionable at this point his ability to fix these
00:12:27.600
problems is limited that leaves the people in a very tricky situation because this was their next
00:12:34.480
best hope of redressing their grievances if trump is no longer the next best hope the next best hope
00:12:41.860
might be even more scary that's the problem wait are you suggesting there's a chance they lose the senate
00:12:46.620
uh i thought that republicans were going to pick up more senate seats than they did based on my polling
00:12:53.320
and we saw a lot of questionable results come out of those races here's another thing are we going to
00:12:58.920
get to the bottom of election integrity now even though republicans across the country are still
00:13:03.360
shutting down investigations and basically blocking people left and right it's got to be smash mouth
00:13:08.920
and this was not smash mouth this looks like you know this looks like the nod and wink kitten glove
00:13:13.980
treatment that the wealthy and powerful get all over the country from top prosecutors and president
00:13:19.960
trump's message on truth social over the weekend he said you know let's move on for it we've got to
00:13:24.380
look at election integrity we've got to look at the people who tried to overthrow a government in 2016
00:13:28.100
i think you'd get a lot more people who would get off this issue once and for all if we saw some sort
00:13:33.740
of results from what we uh you know don't have you know you're teasing after teasing of this teasing
00:13:41.740
after teasing of that but at the end of the day not one person has been arrested for the election of
00:13:46.840
2020 not one person has been arrested for what happened in 2016 when they tried to subvert a a president
00:13:53.720
a leading candidate when they illegally wiretapped him or back in just a few years ago when they
00:14:00.000
raided mar-a-lago uh with guns blazing ready to maybe shoot somebody so if if people were held
00:14:07.100
accountable for some of these things that have happened in the past i think you'd probably get
00:14:11.620
a little bit easier of easier of an audience because they say you know what maybe you're right
00:14:16.840
because the fbi is doing this the doj is doing this but mark as you and i heard in dc just a few
00:14:23.080
weeks ago we'll send another letter it's just another investigation that's right and people are
00:14:29.180
so immune to it the voter has gotten so smart and it makes me so happy to see this that the audience
00:14:36.260
watching this show are so much smarter than they were four years ago are so much smarter than they
00:14:41.140
were 10 years ago because they're not buying the bullshit that have been fed to us mark my entire
00:14:46.860
life you probably most of your entire adult life yeah if you listen if you steal the american dream
00:14:53.620
and make it impossible for people to develop families live in financial comfort people are
00:15:00.000
going to get super good at spotting bullshit and they are now like that's literally what's happening
00:15:04.500
and this is just bs it just blows my mind that they could fix this in a second until they prove
00:15:10.100
otherwise i'm going to go ahead and assume that basically school board mama bears have been
00:15:17.060
investigated more than the johns on epstein island and here's the thing you know what transparency is
00:15:21.680
it's not just going on fox news it's having substance it doesn't matter how you do it it matters
00:15:26.240
what you say they can absolutely come out and say like hey yeah if it's case closed well here's what
00:15:32.240
we found like put some stuff out we don't necessarily need to see a list but we all know that these
00:15:36.960
investigations weren't done do you think they took people off the list like jamie diamond and roll
00:15:41.840
them up and had him interview with his lawyer there like no they didn't do that that would happen to
00:15:46.920
every other american and so again there's this two-tier standard of justice and it's absolutely
00:15:51.680
disgusting people aren't buying the bs though 47 to 31 they still think that he was murdered instead of
00:15:58.120
committed suicide and this is after bongino came out and said nope nope i've seen the videos only 33
00:16:03.720
percent of republicans think he committed suicide and then this one do you believe the fbi and the
00:16:08.560
doj are telling the truth that epstein didn't keep a client list only 21 say yes that's crazy 56 say no
00:16:17.320
only 27 of republicans say yes republicans are not buying the party line coming out of the trump
00:16:23.280
white house they're not and again i think his numbers will probably recover but that doesn't mean
00:16:28.460
america is going to so let me ask you this before we move on from from talking about uh this topic um
00:16:35.520
the only person who's sitting in jail right now is glane maxwell okay uh i i mean i forget even the
00:16:42.500
numbers that pam bondi threw out thousands of children over a thousand children involved um
00:16:47.660
terabytes of of data you mean to tell me out of the terabytes of data the thousands of children
00:16:54.940
involved the only person who's sitting there's a dead man okay at least that's what we believe
00:17:00.620
that the epstein's dead somewhere in hell if he is dead and you've got this uh 60 year old woman who's
00:17:07.440
just sitting in jail as a pimp so you've got thousands of children and terabytes of data and
00:17:13.580
there's only one person in jail this has got to be the craziest uh most well-planned plot of criminal
00:17:22.640
activity that i've ever seen in my life i mean it's mind-blowing to me that nobody's asking that
00:17:28.760
question the optics of this are so horrible in so many different ways if you just think about it for
00:17:34.740
three minutes you'll come up with another one like imagine how this signals to the good people still in
00:17:40.300
the government that we're praying for a better administration to come in and clean things up
00:17:44.100
there's a huge signal that it's not happening now then here's another one like okay well it's been
00:17:48.800
implied that he was an asset of some intel agency well let's just say he was an asset of our intel
00:17:53.600
agency let's just spitball does that mean the cia is literally trying to look out for our national
00:17:58.820
interests by trafficking young women into sex slavery is that what's happening and is that in the best
00:18:04.200
interest of our country in its national defense or let's just say it was an ally doing it okay well
00:18:09.580
is that the kind of people that we support is that adequate like is this the kind of moral
00:18:15.640
authority that we're going to have on the world stage it's absolutely brutal and so i look at her
00:18:21.200
listen you know she's going to get out she's not going to say anything nobody nothing's been done
00:18:26.800
these videos haven't been watched by anybody john none of these victims have been interviewed by anybody
00:18:32.260
there certainly aren't you know interview forms that were taken by federal authorities as they
00:18:37.480
interviewed these people yeah yeah it's not like they went to the island they didn't go to the island or
00:18:42.040
anything they didn't put anything into evidence just it never happened so it's just disgusting we all
00:18:48.180
know what this is it's it's probably just that yes blackmailing these people or preventing the matrix to
00:18:54.780
continue is more important than accountability and you know what if they don't want to ruin people's
00:19:00.320
lives as bill o'reilly and donald trump suggested or i should say o'reilly suggested donald trump said
00:19:05.540
give us a list of who was on the island because we know if you were on the island you were probably up to
00:19:11.600
no good if you were on his plane from new york to florida i i mean i can't imagine anything crazy
00:19:18.400
happening there although i don't know if you were in his house in new mexico it's a different story
00:19:23.120
tell us who was there i don't care who he went out to lunch with i don't care who he uh you know went
00:19:29.320
to go visit at a at a gala all right i don't care about any of that stuff just tell us who was on the
00:19:34.900
with him that's all this is the crazy thing about this case is that over and over again
00:19:41.200
just this case specifically all law enforcement logic just implodes yes okay you have a list of
00:19:47.960
names did you investigate them because that's how you find out who's innocent and who's not
00:19:53.580
okay that's the easy way to do it you interview people you ask them you go back and interview somebody
00:19:59.840
else based on what that person said you make a plea plea deal with somebody none of this was done
00:20:05.240
period whatsoever as far as i can tell it just wasn't and so we all know what's happening here
00:20:12.460
it's they won't do it the system will not investigate itself i'll give you an easy who was it prince
00:20:18.120
andrew duke of york who was accused of being on the okay so we got eyewitness testimony from
00:20:23.940
girl who was with him we've got testimony from people who are there this is an easy target and
00:20:30.360
now all of a sudden that thing is just blown under the carpet nothing like like came of it even though
00:20:37.360
you have people who allege that they were with him you've got pictures of him on the the thing with
00:20:42.500
with epstein himself like that's that's so troubling to me if none of this stuff came out like i said i think
00:20:48.940
it's a lot easier for people to believe that there is no epstein files but we literally saw evidence
00:20:55.580
with our own two lying eyes and we're being told no that's that's not true now i was always told mark
00:21:01.960
believe none of what you hear and half of what you see i'm believing half of what i saw in just that one
00:21:06.940
case alone yeah no it's crazy and and literally everywhere on twitter you see these bots pop up where
00:21:13.920
they're just like on purpose ignoring the logic somebody came up like i'm seeing things like well
00:21:19.520
first off i'm seeing the ben shapiro line that nobody cares about this what's like nobody cared
00:21:24.280
about this as an issue because they thought there was going to be accountability the reason people
00:21:27.980
are freaking out right now is because there's not so that's a problem and then everybody's saying
00:21:32.520
like things just like all of these non-arguments like oh well it happened so long ago oh okay there's
00:21:39.720
never any cold case investigations in america ever that never happens it's just unbelievable and so
00:21:45.760
the lack of logic the nothing to see here move on will give you whatever gaslighting bs possible
00:21:52.100
in order to try and distract you to something else it's playing out everywhere it's playing out with a
00:21:57.200
lot of mega influencers it's playing out in the white house and the kind of stuff they're saying it's
00:22:01.100
playing out all over the socials and these are the kind of things on top of the fact that it's been
00:22:06.460
accused that jelaine maxwell was a moderator of the second biggest political subreddit that her
00:22:12.160
father has ties to intel like that's on top of all of that and so i think until it's proven otherwise
00:22:18.960
personally i'm going to assume that what we have is a disgusting operation that we're either condoning
00:22:25.100
or part of and a government that does that needs to quite frankly you know in minecraft like something
00:22:32.580
has to yeah like it's just a mess like what are voters what's their recourse what's their first
00:22:37.120
amendment redress of grievances for these things which is why i think people like tucker carlson
00:22:42.440
you see you speaking of the bots i mean look what they're doing to tucker on twitter tucker's this he's
00:22:48.180
anti-semitic he's anti this he's anti that and it's like no he's not he's just saying the things that
00:22:54.920
people are thinking uh yeah i mean it's crazy to see like what they're trying to do to tucker now
00:23:01.980
i'm under the impression and this is not from any sort of um intel or anything like that that tucker
00:23:08.880
may be making a really good case to run for president in 2028 i don't know that's true or not
00:23:14.380
but i think he's probably making the case i don't think he's out here uh uh causing all this uproar and
00:23:19.900
i don't even think it's uproar it's exposing a lot of people need to be exposed for no reason
00:23:23.800
because he's getting no political gain out of it he's probably losing money from doing it
00:23:27.420
so it brings you to the question of like what i had said before we're not anti-maga because
00:23:33.340
x y and z tucker's not doing this to make money or to do whatever he's losing money
00:23:39.080
and you know what mark you're losing followers on twitter and you're losing a base i see people
00:23:43.600
on twitter going what's wrong with mark mitchell he's unhinged i i don't think you're unhinged
00:23:48.500
besides you and i speak almost every day sometimes hours a day on the phone
00:23:52.640
i don't think you're the slightest bit unhinged i think you're just tired of the bullshit
00:23:57.840
i'm just trying to give people data and logic and that is allergic to some people
00:24:02.940
and that's really interesting to see what would happen with tucker i've heard that from uh another
00:24:07.640
person or two what i've heard is that he's phenomenally independently wealthy oh yeah and
00:24:13.120
that he's not wealthy because of these ties to whatever it's because he's got a family that
00:24:19.140
comes from a background and he's been very successful and so he's got nothing to gain
00:24:25.120
here literally nothing to gain and what's wild is that when he puts this agenda together if he runs
00:24:31.260
it's going to look a lot like maga except for some very salient differences a very short list
00:24:37.340
of salient differences and that difference is we should be able to ask questions about what goes
00:24:42.380
on behind the scenes about these people's interests and why the will of the voter is not
00:24:47.500
being reflected because that question right now again trump came out and tried to brute force public
00:24:53.800
opinion here he said nobody cares about epstein look at the polling i just said yeah i think you're
00:25:00.320
absolutely right uh tucker you're right he's worth a lot a lot of money i mean aside from working at fox
00:25:06.440
where he was probably making 15 to 20 million dollars a year uh his family's the heir to the uh swanson
00:25:12.400
uh frozen dinner so he's got a it's a massive a um i think they put his net worth somewhere in like
00:25:18.800
the half uh half a billion dollar uh range so i mean this is all speculation but i i guess you can
00:25:25.520
probably do the numbers and look at the valuations of the company but uh he doesn't need the money
00:25:29.960
uh he's got all the fame i mean the guy gets how many downloads on on twitter alone just on his
00:25:36.320
content millions of views on downloads so like i said before we're not doing this because we're
00:25:42.560
anti-maga we're doing this because we want what we voted for we want what we voted for and that was
00:25:48.260
transparency that was no more lies that was no more secrets we wanted everything to be put out in the
00:25:53.560
public domain which is what what blows my mind is i would think trump would want this with everything
00:25:59.340
they put this man through i had a woman on the show yesterday her name is susan crabtree uh writer for
00:26:04.440
real clear politics and she just did a terrific piece uh calling out the fbi uh secret service
00:26:10.280
rather a year after butler mark that some of these people who were involved in the case are still
00:26:16.120
employed some of them were uh promoted sean corinne who's now the head of secret service was the one
00:26:22.280
who approved the plan in butler that same day that donald trump was shot um and it just blows my mind
00:26:30.920
to think that if i was almost assassinated i wouldn't want any one of those people near me
00:26:36.820
let alone a guy who approved the plan that almost got me killed if the jfk files are so important
00:26:44.900
that america needs to see them all yeah then surely the investigation into a attempted and near
00:26:52.100
assassination of a sitting president in a presidential cycle is worth knowing who's working on it how many
00:26:58.160
people are working on it what money has been spent and give us a little bit information a little bit
00:27:03.160
of public releasable information about the progress that you're making because this one looks like it's
00:27:07.920
going right down the black hole with every other thing like the vegas shooting and all these things
00:27:12.220
where the manifestos get buried it's the same model over and over again government does whatever the
00:27:19.420
we're now getting an investigation which we should have gotten long before now uh cash patel has launched
00:27:31.680
a grand criminal conspiracy investigation into the weaponization of government this is going back
00:27:36.220
all the way to 2016 with uh barack obama john brennan james clapper comey and other high-level obama
00:27:42.400
uh era operatives named in this investigation which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to
00:27:48.500
target political enemies shield democrat allies and manipulate multiple presidential elections
00:27:52.600
2016 to 2024 we should have gotten this a lot sooner do you think this is just another
00:27:58.180
smoke and mirrors type situation i don't ever see a day as much as i'd like to see it of clapper going
00:28:04.280
to jail of comey going to jail of brennan going to jail you saw what they did to james comey when
00:28:08.500
they brought him in for questioning they put him in the back of a nice escalade they
00:28:12.120
made sure his head didn't hit i mean it was just a show i know and i've heard from agents too
00:28:18.920
oh i didn't like working under him and blah blah blah it's like i don't think i don't think i've
00:28:26.880
heard from multiple people that this is not going to result in indictments and yet i do think that
00:28:32.080
there's value in having these investigations absolutely do but that would imply that the
00:28:37.840
point of these investigations is to get information public and let's also acknowledge that we've just
00:28:42.640
announced an investigation so there's precedent to come out and say hey we can investigate epstein
00:28:47.360
now because the americans care about it so that would be my call like we should probably correct and
00:28:52.520
still do that i think that this will be beneficial and positive but let's like also focus on the other
00:28:59.480
aspects of election integrity here like where's that election integrity task force what are they doing
00:29:04.440
because that's the problem here is that the fbi helped essentially manipulate the outcome of an
00:29:10.380
election but a lot of other people ostensibly did as well in a distributed massive manner across the
00:29:16.040
united states which would should probably be the biggest rico case and it's i guess it's not going
00:29:21.060
to i don't know yeah how does how do we get out of this situation is what i want to know i mean is it
00:29:26.780
too late to save the bacon for 2026 because what happens mark uh uh in 2026 if the republicans
00:29:33.840
loses donald trump will be impeached probably three maybe four times and they do it just for fun
00:29:39.280
right they know that there's no merit to it they know that he did nothing wrong but they're just
00:29:43.760
going to do it for fun and that's going to burn up i mean more time and more time and more time
00:29:49.040
now it may fuel the base for 2028 again but i think by then people are just going to be worn out
00:29:54.220
because of more baseless investigations that go absolutely nowhere here's the problem the national
00:30:00.320
democratic party stands for nothing or they stand for things that are horribly anti-voter but the
00:30:05.760
problem is is that in 26 what's going to happen is the democrats somehow are going to get a ton of money
00:30:10.740
like they always do it'll probably still come from act blue at this point right and then what they're
00:30:15.640
going to see is advertising run about oh like look at this 50 year old female former fighter pilot who
00:30:22.260
talks like a moderate and she's in your district and she's running it as a democrat and that person
00:30:27.360
is going to look awfully appealing compared to a republican that they were convinced to trust and
00:30:31.860
that let them down and so where we're at right now is a generic ballot dem plus two and that's because
00:30:37.640
what happens when you get a republican in the democrats are going to win in the off cycle so that's
00:30:42.260
what's expected and so if the if the generic ballots democrats leading it looks like a foregone
00:30:47.900
conclusion that the house is going to go plus probably a decent number of senate seats that
00:30:52.260
might give them the senate majority and if not maybe they'll just steal the senate majority right
00:30:56.680
and so for that to be prevented donald trump needs to act fast to rapidly deliver on all his promises
00:31:04.380
and get to somewhere where he's in the high mid to high 50s or something and drag the republicans up
00:31:09.880
or the republicans need to get it together and finally stand for something start passing one-page
00:31:14.660
bills that are popular they can be putting a one-page bill through a week get rid of the senate
00:31:18.880
filibuster rule get them on that's how you win 26 let's have e-verify next week let's have paper
00:31:26.020
ballots the week after you know like let's get these laws through we've got another hundred executive
00:31:31.940
orders that haven't been codified or whatever we could do one a week right that would be a lot of
00:31:37.140
news because democrats would be freaking out about it so they need something right now to flip the game
00:31:42.120
board and right now it looks like there's no plan to do that you're big on the e-verify i'm not i'm
00:31:47.480
not entirely sold on it just because i think it's so manipulable and uh there's so many vulnerabilities
00:31:52.100
to it i think they need something a lot stronger than oh sure if i but uh it's it's cheap it exists we
00:31:58.980
could do it today and it would piss people off in in powerful people off so there's a reason to at
00:32:04.860
least do it but yeah you need multi-strategy approach to get rid of these people how about like
00:32:09.460
taxing remittances more than one percent like how about holding how about holding the business
00:32:16.140
owners who hire illegals accountable criminal exactly oh no john we can't do that well no no i
00:32:21.140
my former boss was the only person in history mark congressman michael grimm the only person in the
00:32:27.940
history of new york maybe in the country to ever be held responsible for hiring an off-the-books
00:32:34.160
worker he went to jail for eight months he owed ninety thousand dollars in back taxes with penalties
00:32:39.580
and interest that came out to a half a million dollars a year he was still paying off his student
00:32:42.980
loans for a law school so former distinguished marine this is a former distinguished uh uh special
00:32:49.160
agent in the fbi bringing down massive wall street operations uh boiler room operations and marquee was
00:32:54.700
held accountable because they were told loretta lynch was told if she got michael grimm she'd become the
00:33:00.260
next attorney general of the united states lo and behold she became the next so it's just you know
00:33:04.900
horse and pony training but why don't we start holding them all to the same standard i said i said
00:33:09.920
to him i said mike i'm fine with you going to jail just as long as everybody else is held to the same
00:33:15.220
standard as you and he goes you know what you're absolutely right but it's the two-tiered justices
00:33:21.280
what was the number 94 mark believe that politicians should be held to the same standard but it's not
00:33:27.380
it's it's it's rules for the and not me and it's wherever they work it's like a puzzle if the piece
00:33:33.120
fits we'll make it work yeah that's right yeah exactly definitely no long-term strategy here this
00:33:39.360
is literally let's get through the day and when i see an opportunity i'm going to take something that's
00:33:43.660
good for me and i'm not going to care or think about the moral implications of screwing over the
00:33:47.700
person whose blood sweat and tears went to fund that that's the current government here's the thing
00:33:53.100
though we've talked about this we're in the fourth turning john yes we're in the fourth turning and
00:33:58.120
society wants order like sauron wanted the ring like it's gonna happen you know what i mean like
00:34:03.360
they they every fiber of society's being craves new institutions and every one of these things that
00:34:10.580
happen they were very let down because in my opinion this was a very viable path that they had for
00:34:16.000
redress and it would appear at this point that that is off the table and so that will have
00:34:21.560
ramifications even if it doesn't destroy donald trump's approval rate yeah something's got to
00:34:26.900
give here uh congressman james comer who i look up to i regard him as a as a really good american
00:34:32.360
he's one of the few people i actually feel bad for in dc i think he really wants to do a good job i
00:34:37.140
think he's done a terrific job in what he's been given and it's not much he's on to his latest
00:34:43.320
investigations we find out it's the auto pen scandal which uh i'm not confident now i'm confident
00:34:50.100
comer will do a terrific job uh in investigating it but i'm not confident that pam bondy will
00:34:55.660
heed whatever he hands her this was uh comer last night on fox news i think it would be a hard pitch
00:35:03.820
in front of a court of law to try to defend what joe biden just admitted to the new york times that
00:35:09.620
that he didn't know exactly who all was getting pardons or not he didn't know who uh was being
00:35:16.240
pardoned with the use of his auto pen and that's the whole basis of this investigation
00:35:21.440
uh this is just the pardons what about the executive orders i mean there there was no
00:35:26.740
process that that we have found thus far and we've brought in uh four people thus far uh in our
00:35:33.020
interviews and depositions no defined process by which joe biden uh was the one saying yes use this
00:35:40.900
auto pen uh to sign my name on this pardon or this executive order i mean sean we're just talking
00:35:46.740
about signing your name one signature so so it it doesn't even take into account whether or not he
00:35:53.920
was mentally able of uh to understand what he was even signing so this is bad and i think this puts
00:36:01.480
all of those pardons in peril from the biden administration so that's good to hear right and
00:36:09.120
you got to meet comer i spoke with comer for an hour and uh i've known comer for some years now
00:36:15.240
we got to meet in person finally and i've always held him in a high regard and i think he gets a bad
00:36:21.120
rep for some of his other counterparts in dc uh who don't do a good job who are just paper senders and
00:36:27.840
paper pushers comer actually wants results but he could only do the investigation he can only present
00:36:34.920
the evidence and at the end of the day uh it's up to pam bondy or whoever the justice department is
00:36:41.380
to take up those criminal investigations and make some referrals so i think comer will get to the
00:36:47.860
bottom of this but at the end of the day will pam bondy do her job and issue a criminal referral uh
00:36:53.180
for joe biden coming out and saying he didn't approve each and every pardon because his staffer said
00:36:58.960
they thought it was business as usual to just go ahead and do whatever the hell they wanted to do
00:37:02.080
well i didn't know that that were the case i'd be out there selling pardons mark half a million bucks
00:37:06.300
you get your pardon if i'm a staffer i mean what the heck is going on i mean if you just read the
00:37:11.880
story about who some of these staffers are like all the stuff coming out of the kamala harris vice
00:37:16.520
presidency where she had 86 percent churn rate with her staff and there was all this backstabbing and
00:37:22.460
whinging these people are basically like they hire them off reddit you know what i mean they're like
00:37:27.660
you know 25 year old non-player characters who are little ideologues and are doing things for
00:37:33.120
their own reasons and yeah you gave them like supreme power over the law and what's going to
00:37:39.300
happen and you know what the sad thing about comer is too it's like you're right he's going to put all
00:37:43.300
this into it it's going to go to her it's going to be a one-person decision it's probably going to
00:37:47.580
be made for political expediency but here's the thing john if he's doing a real investigation he's
00:37:52.340
putting his life at risk right now there's a real chance that he's pursuing like literally a former
00:37:58.320
president and powerful people in his administration that has it ties to the deep state like that he's
00:38:05.380
putting himself in real danger for america for voters and he's probably going to get sold down
00:38:11.180
the river by his own people i guess that's what it looks like and you know he told you and i sitting
00:38:15.620
right there you heard her with your ears from his mouth that his family does get threats and you
00:38:20.020
don't hear him coming out complaining about it which is what i think it tells you what kind of
00:38:24.000
person he is and what he cares about his wife he's got a teenage son who's going to be going to college
00:38:29.240
uh him and and death threats and this and that for they don't get massive secret service coverage
00:38:36.440
he gets none he gets none if he wants security i think it's up to him or his campaign to cover it i
00:38:41.960
don't think they provide it because it's only for the top echelons in the senate top echelons in the
00:38:46.620
house uh yet this is the man exposing all the corruptions and you know what like i said you
00:38:51.980
don't hear him complaining about it because he doesn't care and if he was scared if he was
00:38:56.240
intimidated he wouldn't be doing what he's doing that's why i believe comer is a good man i think
00:39:00.060
he gets a bad rap and i think he's a patriot for the work he's doing the scary thing is is if the
00:39:04.960
republicans do lose the house the wet rat who sits to the right of him jamie raskins as comer likes to
00:39:10.760
call him uh is going to take the reins of that uh oversight committee and the fun will begin for
00:39:17.800
the democrats and they are going to have a grand old time with referrals and indictments or
00:39:23.280
recommending indictments and interviews and harassing the heck out of people a couple impeachments
00:39:29.880
probably too probably have some impeachments yeah it's gonna be a mess yeah and this is what we have
00:39:35.460
this is what we have to look forward to and these people can't i'm gonna say it nicely can't get their
00:39:42.660
heads out of the grounds there it's like they're shoved in a in a rabbit hole and they can't get
00:39:47.560
them out and they're showing us their rear ends because they don't care so why are we supposed to
00:39:52.380
care why are people donating massive amounts of records amount of money to john thune in the senate
00:39:57.040
why are they donating massive amounts of money to the nrsc the nrcc these are two corrupt organizations
00:40:03.380
it's money in money out money flowing and i tell people all the time mark go to opensecrets.org
00:40:09.140
go look at who they're paying go look at who they're giving their money to don't take my word
00:40:13.280
for it go look where these people are getting money from go look at who their advisors are go look at
00:40:18.640
who their their political consultants are and it's just a big circular operation of money laundering i think
00:40:24.600
is what it comes down to um and people keep giving money i wouldn't give a political donation to
00:40:31.260
anybody mike mark if my life depended on it i never have to be honest with you never donated
00:40:37.680
to a single campaign or anything uh you know i prefer to give my money to the church the ones that
00:40:43.460
aren't corrupted it's getting harder and harder to find where to put money to have impact but i'll tell
00:40:47.200
you what i know where you go to church yeah don't make me post the picture no no no no no no that's not
00:40:53.500
me definitely not um but let me ask you this question though if you are going to in my opinion
00:40:59.760
the place that dollars need to go is reforming the republican party if you were going to tell
00:41:06.940
somebody if they wanted to know where can i donate a single dollar to reform the republican party what
00:41:11.680
would you even tell them not the nrcc not the nrsc i would say give it directly to trump i mean that's
00:41:17.780
the uh what i've always is trump reforming the republican party don't ask me that yes he's not
00:41:24.140
he's not i can tell you i'm not a dc insider but i have eyes and i have talked to people and i know
00:41:29.880
what's happening here you got a triple digit iq which helps you a little bit yeah i can fog him
00:41:35.180
here so here's a directionally the kind of story i hear okay we have the precinct strategy that's great
00:41:41.640
that'll take 30 years yeah that's but it's great okay by the time it's full of mega people there will
00:41:47.700
be a different mega uh we have michael watley at the head of the rnc now i go fine that's great it's
00:41:53.740
been there a little over a year i don't know if he's fired or changed i don't know right but what i
00:41:58.780
hear is that a mega candidate will run the establishment will say no bueno you can't run
00:42:03.980
people are afraid of mega we need to run a moderate you'll never win and by the way we control the purse
00:42:08.700
strings the mega candidate will against all odds still run be forced to take republican consulting
00:42:14.540
gigs and then their own canvassers will canvas for the opposition in the primary then they'll lose
00:42:21.240
the squishy moderate will run underperform trump and then lose to the democrat and then the very next
00:42:27.620
cycle the same establishment people who are like picked by kevin mccarthy and uh you know convinced
00:42:34.760
devin nunes to let him have a run and blah blah blah they'll just run the same loser again and oh by
00:42:40.040
the way the nrcc will tell maga donors not to donate to the maga candidate and then the maga
00:42:45.740
candidate will tell me i can't even get to trump i would win if i could just just get an endorsement
00:42:50.180
because trump only wants to endorse winners and the white house is entirely sealed off these are the
00:42:54.980
kind of things i'm hearing and so in that environment with the nrsc the nrcc still running everything
00:43:01.040
it's not reformed it has not been reformed so who do you think can reform the republican party if you
00:43:08.180
had to pick one person somebody with very deep pockets that understands complex organizations
00:43:15.020
and how to fix it with a structural solution that's what the democrats have they have structural
00:43:20.980
ways to enforce ideological conformity in their party imagine if that force was used for good
00:43:27.920
yeah you're right i gotta show the show the audience something here real quick mark mark had
00:43:33.800
mentioned church we're going to show you uh where mark attends church uh on the weekends it's the
00:43:40.300
united methodist church in morristown new jersey with the coexist sign out front and the lead with
00:43:46.260
love mark is that true i was born and raised a methodist but uh you know i'm part of an organization
00:43:53.060
that saw this coming and left the methodist church but uh organized religion is just on the list of
00:43:59.100
people for the fourth turning that have to get their crap together and fix it and uh that particular
00:44:04.280
organization's been overrun i never did i think i'd see the day mark going past it i walked past this
00:44:09.940
church in morristown new jersey over the weekend never did i think i would see a church with gay flags
00:44:16.360
on the front of it uh with uh transgender flags if you can see right there on the right hand side
00:44:21.880
on the front of a church it's absolutely abhorrent uh that this is what we've come to
00:44:27.520
drag story hours too it's so sick i mean this is the church is now that we've got to shield our kids
00:44:35.220
from never did you think it's that's a story for a different day we could probably spend hours on
00:44:40.480
talking about i was born raised catholic i don't even know the catholic church anymore the the way
00:44:44.740
it's gone so demonic um before we wrap up i want to get your take on we found out today that adam schiff
00:44:52.380
is currently under investigation for committing mortgage fraud so he has a little condo out in
00:44:59.260
california where he says he lives but then he went to get a mortgage which he refinanced i think four
00:45:05.100
or five times over the course of four or five years which uh in 20 2009 2010 2011 2013 uh he remortgaged
00:45:13.900
his house which i've never heard of that before i mean yeah kind of a little sketchy in my opinion
00:45:18.940
fees are like right so he's then he he's the senator from california now of course but claims this
00:45:27.840
maryland house is his main residence because you get a little bit of a sweeter mortgage is it crazy to
00:45:34.300
see mark that all the stuff that they've accused donald trump of doing letitia james has done tom tillis
00:45:40.600
has done adam schiff has done um are these people this stupid no they're not stupid they're smart
00:45:48.920
and they've not been held accountable at all at all and until the federal federal bureau of no
00:45:55.560
investigations actually decides to do his job i'm going to assume that every single one of them i'm
00:46:01.160
going to assume that when you get elected to congress you get a little welcome packet that's like
00:46:05.240
how it works here and that this is appendix to be about what you do if you want to you know
00:46:10.360
they they all complain about how they're not paid enough and so they figure out other way life will
00:46:16.000
find a way they get multiple streams of income their wife gets a do nothing job they get a couple
00:46:21.000
of stock tips and yeah cut with nods and winks and a little uh of course everybody gets away with this
00:46:26.640
why would they not do it it's just part of what they deserve for being our betters i think you and i
00:46:32.760
should look at running for congress i think we'd have a hell of a time we get offices that connect next
00:46:36.980
door and we could just raise a crap ton of hell i would get murdered i'd get the george santos
00:46:46.580
treatment oh god don't be that hard on yourself no man i'd be like walking around with a body cam
00:46:53.940
everywhere you know every meeting with like you know all over my office you're too much of a family
00:47:02.340
man mark spends a lot of time with his kids uh he's a good dad he's probably heading off after this to
00:47:08.580
