The Great America Show - The Great America Sunday Show： September 28, 2025

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

00:00:06.380 beautiful day in America. Thanks so much for spending part of your evening with us.

00:00:10.220 It was, what do they say, a barn burner? I think it was barn burner. We'll go with that. A barn

00:00:15.480 burner day for Donald Trump and the United Nations. And it started from the moment he got

00:00:20.580 there, a broken escalator, a broken teleprompter. It seemed like they just wanted to annoy Donald

00:00:25.760 Trump. And they pissed off the wrong person because Donald Trump was there and he was

00:00:30.080 throwing haymakers. He held no prisoners. He went after the globalist elite. He went after the good

00:00:36.240 for nothing United Nations. He went after everybody under the sun, who I guess is directly an enemy of

00:00:44.580 America if you don't support the values that America supports, which is truth, justice, and I guess

00:00:52.220 freedom. And there's a lot of countries out there who are having a very difficult time with that.

00:00:56.540 And Donald Trump called them out, not necessarily by name. He went on a little rant about free speech,

00:01:02.020 clearly going after the United Kingdom, who's having a little bit of a hard time right now with

00:01:06.340 respecting people's freedom of speech. But Donald Trump, I want to go through some of these instances

00:01:12.000 and just levelings of people. We'll start with the globalists, the globalist elites

00:01:18.420 who want a one world order type system here in America. Take a listen.

00:01:24.800 The entire globalist concept of asking successful industrialized nations to inflict pain on

00:01:30.520 themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies must be rejected completely and totally, 0.93

00:01:37.220 and it must be immediate. That's why in America, I withdrew from the fake Paris climate accord,

00:01:43.800 where, by the way, America was paying so much more than every country. Others weren't paying. China

00:01:50.040 didn't have to pay until 2030. Russia was given an old standard that was easy to meet, a 1990 standard.

00:02:00.220 But for the United States, we're supposed to pay like a trillion dollars. And I said, this is another

00:02:07.140 scam. The fact is, United States has been taken advantage of by the world for many, many years,

00:02:12.680 but not any longer, as you probably noticed. I unleashed massive energy production and signed

00:02:18.660 historic executive orders to hunt for oil. But we don't have to do much hunting because we have

00:02:25.920 the most oil of any nation anywhere, oil and gas in the world. And if you add coal, we have the most

00:02:33.140 of any nation in the world. Clean. I call it clean, beautiful coal. You can do things today with coal

00:02:38.440 coal that you couldn't have done 10 years ago, 15 years. So I have a little standing order in the

00:02:43.420 White House. Never use the word coal. Only use the words clean, beautiful coal. Sounds much better,

00:02:50.340 doesn't it? But we stand ready to provide any country with abundant, affordable energy supplies

00:02:55.800 if you need them, when most of you do. We're proudly exporting energy all over the world. We're now

00:03:01.280 the largest exporter. That was one of Donald Trump's moment where he decided to be a little bit nicer to

00:03:08.660 the audience of globalist elites. It got much worse than that for these people. It got to the point

00:03:15.300 where Donald Trump flat out asked them, what is the United Nations good for? What is your purpose?

00:03:22.540 You've ended no wars, which is essentially what your job is. You guys have done nothing. I've ended

00:03:28.460 six or seven wars by myself with no help of the United Nations, just a bunch of strongly worded

00:03:36.100 letters with broken elevators and broken teleprompters. Take a listen. It's too bad that I had to do these

00:03:42.680 things instead of the United Nations doing them. And sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not

00:03:52.060 even try to help in any of them. I ended seven wars, dealt with the leaders of each and every one of

00:03:59.880 these countries and never even received a phone call from the United Nations offering to help

00:04:04.840 in finalizing the deal. All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped

00:04:13.900 right in the middle. If the first lady wasn't in great shape, she would have fallen. But she's in 1.00

00:04:20.400 great shape. We're both in good shape. We both stood. And then a teleprompter that didn't work.

00:04:30.420 This is these are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.

00:04:35.680 Thank you very much. And by the way, it's working now. Just went on. Thank you. I think I should just

00:04:44.660 do it the other way. It's easier. Thank you very much. I didn't think of it at the time because I was

00:04:52.220 too busy working to save millions of lives. That is the saving and stopping of these wars. But later I

00:04:59.300 realized that the United Nations wasn't there for us. They weren't there. I thought of it really after

00:05:05.200 the fact, not during, not during these negotiations, which were not easy. That being the case,

00:05:12.400 what is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential.

00:05:17.560 I've always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous potential. But it's not even coming

00:05:24.280 close to living up to that potential. For the most part, at least for now, all they seem to do is write

00:05:31.220 a really strongly worded letter and then never follow that letter up. It's empty words and empty

00:05:38.420 words don't solve war. The only thing that solves war and wars is action. Now, as tough as Donald Trump

00:05:47.860 is and as good a job he does, he's a very giving person, as I've told you all here, cares about the

00:05:54.100 country, cares about the world. So have no fear. Donald Trump is here and he's here to save the

00:05:58.560 world and extend the helping hand to anyone who wants to be a great country. Whether the UN can

00:06:06.040 manage to play a productive role, I've come here today to offer the hand of American leadership and

00:06:13.740 friendship to any nation in this assembly that is willing to join us in forging a safer,

00:06:20.240 more prosperous world. And it's a world that will be much happier with a dramatically better futures

00:06:29.820 within our reach. But to get there, we must reject the failed approaches of the past and work together

00:06:37.280 to confront some of the greatest threats in history. Donald Trump's saying it nicely, but pretty much

00:06:45.380 what he's saying is cut out your bullshit and we're here to help you. England, cut out your censorship of

00:06:50.680 free speech. Iran, cut out your nonsense of wanting to make nuclear weapons. Russia, Ukraine and the war

00:06:57.860 grow up. I mean, very, very simple. Now, whether the globalist elites heed his warning or take his advice

00:07:07.140 or reach out for a helping hand, I guess we'll find out who wants help and who doesn't. Yesterday,

00:07:15.720 President Trump, in his mission to do something great as part of the Maha agenda, make America

00:07:23.100 healthy again agenda, which has the Marxist left in shambles and in tears. Imagine this, folks,

00:07:30.200 the left, the mainstream media, the Marxist run news organizations and print organizations,

00:07:36.580 are upset that Donald Trump wants to find a cure and put an end to autism in America.

00:07:44.780 Instead of cheering this initiative on, you've got places like the Associated Press putting out

00:07:55.300 headlines like this. Donald Trump promotes unproven ties between Tylenol, vaccines, and autism,

00:08:06.560 without evidence. Take a listen to President Trump at the White House yesterday.

00:08:11.560 The meteoric rise in autism is among the most alarming public health developments in history.

00:08:18.300 There's never been anything like this. Just a few decades ago, one in 10,000 children had autism.

00:08:25.700 So that's not a long time. And I've always heard, you know, they sell a few, but I think it's

00:08:31.240 a lot less time than that. It used to be one in 20,000, then one in 10,000. And I would say that's

00:08:40.600 probably 18 years ago. And now it's one in 31. But in some areas, it's much worse than that,

00:08:49.620 if you can believe it, one in 31. And I gave numbers yesterday for boys, it's one in 12.

00:08:55.740 I was told that's in California, where they have a, for some reason, a more severe problem.

00:09:02.820 But whether it's one in 12 or one in 31, can you imagine? That's down from one in 20,000,

00:09:07.800 then one in 10,000. And now we're at the level of one in 12, in some cases, for boys.

00:09:15.780 One in 31 overall. So since 2000, autism rates have surged by much more than 400%.

00:09:24.740 Instead of attacking those who ask questions, everyone should be grateful for those who are

00:09:29.940 trying to get the answers to this complex situation.

00:09:35.960 Imagine that. The Associated Press with the audacity. President Trump promotes unproven ties

00:09:42.100 between Tylenols, Tylenol vaccines, and autism without new evidence. Now that's the same,

00:09:48.620 of course, Associated Press, that during the times of COVID, consider themselves doctors,

00:09:53.880 this is just one of the articles we pulled up, that the Associated Press fact checkers,

00:09:59.520 apparently a team of doctors in their own mind, find that there was no link between COVID vaccines

00:10:04.740 and placental abnormalities. So they could be doctors, but President Trump's administration,

00:10:12.120 the FDA, CMA, HHS, none of these folks are credible people. Now, President Trump talked about those autism

00:10:23.060 rates, which are clearly unacceptable. These are just the rates you have here on the screen between

00:10:30.000 2000 and 2022. In 2005, per 1000. I mean, now we're over 30 in 1000.

00:10:40.860 Just 22 years later, as I said, going to 2022.

00:10:44.120 And the Marxist media is, I mean, they're beside themselves, that Donald Trump would want to do

00:10:51.220 something like this, that Donald Trump would want to get rid of autism in America. Instead,

00:10:57.320 they laugh and they joke like it's like it's funny. Now, going through some research, the thing that I

00:11:03.640 found interesting is some of the most developed countries in the world, some of the best health

00:11:09.820 care in the world are among the countries with the highest autism rates. And I'll just go down this

00:11:17.440 list. America, 1 in 31. South Korea, 1 in 38. Japan, 1 in 87. Sweden, 1 in 100. Denmark, 1 in 60.

00:11:27.420 Australia, 1 in 70. Canada, 1 in 66. Norway, 1 in 59. You get the idea. All countries with great

00:11:35.660 health care systems. Yet our autism rates are absolutely through the roof. Now, I don't know

00:11:43.260 if it has something to do with this little chart we have here on the screen. I'm not a doctor,

00:11:47.440 and I don't pretend to be one. But I do give you the data for you to make the decision for yourself.

00:11:54.560 Which is what the mainstream media doesn't want us to do. Sitting here in front of you is a 2025

00:12:00.040 schedule from the CDC on vaccines they want you to get for your kids between birth and four to

00:12:05.600 six years old. But we'll talk about the first one to 19 months that they want you to give to your

00:12:14.480 child. Let's count these here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 vaccines in a matter of 19 months.

00:12:25.240 Or we'll call it a 12 months because some of them are boosters. And now you've got the COVID-19 on there

00:12:30.920 that's going away. So you've got the RSV. You've got hepatitis B. You've got rotavirus. You've got

00:12:35.560 DTAP. You've got HIV, nunococcal, polio, influenza flu, MMR, chickenpox, hepatitis A. And I'm sure

00:12:45.120 there's more than that. So I don't know if America's great health care system and the immunizations

00:12:53.580 that are given to kids in this vast quantity have anything to do with it. But I'm also not opposed

00:13:01.040 to looking into it. I should anybody in the mainstream media. Who would be opposed to finding

00:13:08.700 a cure that is for something that is so debilitating for so many families?

00:13:15.100 I'm sure each and every one of you out there know somebody

00:13:17.600 who either has autism or has a kid with autism.

00:13:23.820 Here on the Great America Show, we actually, all of our merchandise we've made,

00:13:27.760 we outsource to a company in New York that only employs people with disabilities.

00:13:35.180 They hire them. They bring them in during the day. They pay them.

00:13:38.540 And they give them a way to get out into society. And I've gone down to the shop many times

00:13:43.300 and interacted with these people. And my friend who runs the shop, who's in charge of all

00:13:48.960 the employees there. And it's heartbreaking to see. It's debilitating to see that this is what

00:13:57.720 is normal in this country now. But nobody wants to ask the question. Nobody wants to be the one

00:14:04.700 to find the cure. Instead, we'll point to wacky Donald Trump or wacky RFK Jr. or wacky Dr. Oz,

00:14:16.620 the TV doctor, who's got better credentials than almost any doctor I know.

00:14:24.420 Take a listen to Dr. Oz, CMA administrator, laying out, not telling you not to take Tylenol anymore,

00:14:31.280 but telling you that there are studies that show that it may have something to do with autism.

00:14:39.800 Take a listen.

00:14:41.200 We believe that especially heavy use of acetaminophen, and this is based on data that was

00:14:46.320 compiled by the Harvard School of Public Health just several weeks ago in an important publication

00:14:52.220 that looked at 46 prior studies. And it is true there have been some studies that have not shown

00:14:57.280 a correlation, but there are many more that have shown a concern. Now, the question is,

00:15:01.780 what do you tell families? You can't tell them nothing, which has been what's happening for the

00:15:05.540 last couple of years, because people feel like they're being blown off or they're being held back

00:15:12.560 from understanding truly what we understand within government. What we understand in government is

00:15:16.300 what you heard yesterday from the president, Secretary Kennedy, and the three agency heads,

00:15:20.600 Jay Marty and myself. We know that people who take Tylenol for prolonged periods of time

00:15:25.500 during pregnancy seem to have a higher incidence of autism in aggregate. So the message is don't

00:15:32.560 is that never take Tylenol. It's take Tylenol judiciously. Take it by talking with your doctor.

00:15:38.000 Make sure there's an important reason to take it. Don't take it willy nilly because you think it's

00:15:42.020 so safe. It couldn't possibly cause a problem because don't those assumptions appear to be erroneous.

00:15:47.500 After listening to Dr. Oz there, it seems to me Big Pharma has their hands all over this.

00:15:53.660 They're sticky fingers all over these mainstream media reports. Simply saying, use it with caution.

00:16:03.220 He cites a Harvard School of Health there, clearly run by Democrats. I don't think there's a

00:16:09.840 conservative person at Harvard. And the mainstream media is still all to the wall. Donald Trump's not

00:16:18.920 a doctor. Dr. Oz isn't a doctor. Nobody's a doctor. No, the New York Times is a bunch of doctors.

00:16:23.900 When they pushed and pushed and pushed from 2020 to 2021 to 2022 up until this year, get your COVID

00:16:32.120 vaccines. There's no adverse side effects because we're a bunch of doctors. No, the 17 and 18 year old

00:16:38.620 kids who are dropping dead on basketball courts, it had nothing to do with the vaccine. They were

00:16:43.060 healthy before, but it has nothing. Don't look into it. It has nothing to do with it. Don't look

00:16:48.880 into it. Nothing to see here. Nothing smells fishy. No, no, no. Don't look into that. No, nothing to see

00:16:57.860 here. We're supposed to believe these people who let us down rabbit holes for four years telling us the

00:17:02.680 vaccine saved lives. And if you didn't get the vaccine, you were going to die. And if you didn't

00:17:06.340 vaccinate your mother and your grandmother, they were dead. I know more people who were vaccinated 0.99

00:17:12.940 that died from COVID-19. Now, I don't know if it's from the vaccine, but I know more people who

00:17:19.880 are vaccinated who died, fully healthy people than I do of people who died unvaccinated from COVID-19.

00:17:28.600 And I'm sure each and every one of you can say the same thing, but the New York Times,

00:17:32.360 the Associated Press, they can't. And I wonder why. Like I said, it smells of big pharma. They've

00:17:38.580 got their sticky paws all over this thing. And we'll probably get demonetized and flagged on YouTube 0.91

00:17:45.580 for giving you this information. There's nothing false about it. We've given you all the stats and

00:17:49.620 the statistics. But big tech and big pharma and all these people, they don't want you to hear

00:17:56.900 the truth. They don't want you to hear statistics. They want you to hear their narrative only. If

00:18:03.440 you guys are joining us on Rumble YouTube, Twitter, please drop a comment. Let us know where you're

00:18:07.800 tuning in from and your thoughts on this situation, your thoughts on everything going on with the Trump

00:18:13.940 administration trying to get a cure for COVID and the disinformation in vaccines. We're going to take a

00:18:21.220 quick break here, folks. On the other side of this heated conversation, we're going to be joined by

00:18:25.780 no better guest today, I think, than to talk about all this and much more. My good friend,

00:18:31.760 Rasmussen Reports, leading pollster, preeminent pollster for the United States of America,

00:18:37.460 the great Mark Mitchell. Folks, we're taking a quick break. He's coming right back. Please stay with us.

00:18:42.420 The Great America Show continues in just one moment. We'll be right back.

00:18:51.220 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show. And as I asked, if you're

00:18:55.600 joining us on Rumble or YouTube, please be sure to drop a comment. Let us know where you're tuned

00:18:59.660 in from or if you're enjoying this discussion or if you're not. As promised, our guest today is a good

00:19:05.200 friend of the show, a good friend of mine, the great Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports. Mark,

00:19:11.020 always a delight to talk with you. Yeah, I guess let's start with first the monologue that I just did on

00:19:17.900 big health care wanting to put an end to Donald Trump and his team's quest for finding a cure for

00:19:26.500 autism. That seems pretty evil to me, if to put it nicely. Well, great to be here. And I'm glad

00:19:35.700 you're super pissed because I am, too. And what it comes down to is that people with money just it

00:19:42.320 appears they don't give a crap about Americans, our health, the future of this country. They literally

00:19:47.460 will just spend their money in order to concentrate wealth and power because they don't give a crap

00:19:52.440 about kids developing autism, about people getting myocarditis. They're going to use every fiber of

00:19:58.980 their being to prevent a one point five trillion dollar industry from being picked apart. These

00:20:03.960 people have carefully laid plans that have given them tendrils snaking into every lever of power

00:20:10.680 in the United States. Twenty five percent. Apparently, I just looked it up of TV news

00:20:17.620 advertising slots. And this year got purchased by pharmaceutical companies. And so can you imagine

00:20:24.100 Associated Press has to report on a pharma development and they know that their biggest

00:20:28.420 clients are going to use that information? What do you think happens? The entire system needs to be

00:20:34.380 gutted. And there's only like RFK Jr. and Trump are the only people doing it. And I can only imagine

00:20:40.000 the pressure that Trump is surrounded with because, you know, there's influences. Somebody gets in the

00:20:45.120 White House. Everybody all of a sudden is your best friend. Lobbyist firms that are have ties to

00:20:51.200 people in the administration. All of a sudden, the revenue shoots up firms like major health care

00:20:56.340 companies that don't want things to change, even though America overwhelmingly does. We've documented

00:21:01.140 the absolute mistrust in the health industry. It's like every other industry. Are they any different?

00:21:05.840 No, people don't believe doctors now, especially after covid. And if we can't go over even the most

00:21:10.760 blatant stuff like the way in which it's been alleged that there is a revolving door between

00:21:18.000 places like the pharmaceutical companies that market rems desivere and the regulatory agents that clear

00:21:25.040 their new products, the people in the administration who allow safety checks and important scientific

00:21:34.520 milestones to be skipped so they can rush something like remdesivere to market. And listen, this isn't

00:21:40.500 me making this accusation. Every nurse I talk to calls remdesivere. Run. Death is near. Now, how did

00:21:47.880 it get a name like that? And what are we going to do about it? Because I'm pretty sure that there are

00:21:52.900 licensing arrangements that Anthony Fauci probably is receiving money from these decisions that he made

00:21:58.860 that have allegedly caused people death. If we can't roll that guy up, what are we even doing?

00:22:05.240 Yeah, I think it was the highest paid government employee at the time making. I think maybe more

00:22:09.240 than the president of the United States or just. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, no, I'm just talking about

00:22:13.360 his government salary. Oh, yeah. Peanuts compared to the the money he was making, which doesn't make

00:22:18.620 sense. I mean, any other government job you have, Mark, you can't be getting. I mean, they're

00:22:22.660 ostensibly legal kickbacks is what he was getting with what he boils it down to getting trademark

00:22:27.980 kickbacks on some of these drugs. I've never heard of that before in my life, that you could

00:22:32.360 be a government employee and then be a government, be an employee of somewhere else making outside

00:22:37.100 money. It's absolutely. We need to systematically increase our understanding of the way these

00:22:42.640 bastards enrich themselves because they all get what? 180, 200, 220 K year, right? What do they do?

00:22:51.520 They own multiple homes. They own two million dollar homes in Alexandria. It's disgusting. Where do they

00:22:57.340 make that money? They all have multiple streams of income coming in from places? They're buying and

00:23:02.080 selling stocks. I bet you a bunch of people made money off the Rems Desivere announcement

00:23:05.940 because how would they not use that information? They all have like basically rental income coming

00:23:13.380 from places that are their primary residence. They probably have gold bars appearing miraculously

00:23:19.260 in their empty fridges, offshore bank accounts, do nothing jobs for the wives. There has been no 1.00

00:23:27.560 effort to understand the scope of which every person, regulator, lawmaker has been purchased. And have

00:23:34.140 they all? I don't know, but probably. The gold bars in the freezer, I think, brings a whole new term

00:23:39.280 iced out. But, you know, it's sad. It's funny, but it's all of it's true. I mean, that the fact that we

00:23:47.340 let this happen right in front of our very eyes and nobody wants to talk about this. I you know,

00:23:52.540 nobody wants to talk about the truth of the world that we're living in, that we're allowing

00:23:56.660 big pharma to dictate what an administration does because they don't like what you're doing.

00:24:03.020 I mean, it's something so small. Every single drug commercial on TV, they have that disclaimer at the

00:24:08.200 end. Hey, if you take this, you may die. You may end up, you know, on the side of the road

00:24:12.300 somewhere. You may end up in a field somewhere with just your underwear on. I think that was

00:24:18.040 one of the jokes for that powerful sleep medicine. I forgot what it was called. Ambien,

00:24:22.980 where people were waking up in like hay fields because it's such a strong drug. You know,

00:24:28.760 they have all these disclaimers. But as soon as they go after Tylenol, it's game over,

00:24:34.360 which is probably one of the most widely used drugs, I would say in the world, not just America.

00:24:39.720 We use Tylenol just about everything because we're told it's very safe. Now, the second

00:24:45.440 childhood Tylenol, like just a little grape flavored liquid that you give your kids is a

00:24:52.100 five point six billion dollar market globally. Jesus, big numbers. Right. So the second you start

00:24:59.320 going after these to question them, it's gloves off. And this all ties into Mark, which we'll talk

00:25:08.520 about now, the globalist model where don't upset the apple cart, which is exactly what Donald Trump

00:25:17.020 did today at the United Nations. Oh, wait, I thought you were playing a clip or something.

00:25:24.320 Yeah, no, he did. Well, like every apple cart has to be upset. And what we're seeing now is that

00:25:31.540 nobody's going to upset any apple carts and people are paying attention. Cash Patel's favorability is

00:25:37.900 dropping. It's down to 70 percent. Trump's at 84 percent. He's only 40 percent. Very favorable among

00:25:44.180 Republicans. Cash Patel. People want to see arrests. People think the right direction of the country was

00:25:51.300 super high. Now the number is crashing and people are now concerned about political violence. They

00:25:56.300 want rapid change. We know this. We know that this was a referendum on trust in the federal government.

00:26:01.240 Only 30 percent trust the federal government. And yet everything around us, except for literally like

00:26:05.860 Twitter, is a raid against change. I was just thinking, remember the show? I don't know if you

00:26:11.480 watched it or not. House of Cards. I love that show. It captured the nation's attention. It was very

00:26:17.620 popular. It was the zeitgeist. Everybody was like, oh, wow. It turned out to be not even close.

00:26:24.940 It turned out to be like the absolute worst, like my 10 year old daughter could come up with if I asked

00:26:31.720 her how corrupt Congress is. That's what it was. It was nothing, not even close. Now it was destroyed

00:26:37.720 by me too. And that was back in, you know, 17 or 18. But it's so much worse than we know. How come

00:26:44.180 nobody's making shows about corruption? The amount of stuff that's been uncovered is

00:26:49.060 so much more creative and pervasive than anybody in entertainment probably ever thought of.

00:26:55.820 And yet they will not touch these things because it's gotten too true.

00:26:59.340 Well, I mean, the things you're saying not even close, some of the things that are written into

00:27:04.940 that show makes me wonder if it was based off of someone, a whistleblower who came to help them

00:27:11.740 write the show that the fact is that's how things are run in D.C. It's all strong arming. It's all

00:27:16.820 corruption. I mean, House of Cards makes the government look like a bunch of angels. I mean,

00:27:23.660 the government makes House of Cards look like a bunch of angels with what went on in that show.

00:27:27.540 If anyone never watched, it's a really good show that was on Netflix with Kevin Spacey.

00:27:32.560 But it's an emulation of how our government is run as for corruption and people disappearing and

00:27:39.440 miraculously dying. I mean, we've seen a few people, Mark, just miraculously drop dead off

00:27:45.420 the face of the earth when they had. His name was Seth Rich. Ah, Seth Rich. I've heard that name

00:27:51.600 before. That was a man who was robbed in the park, right? Yeah. Except instead of like one lone wolf

00:27:57.820 scumbag congressman, like who's the implication? Who did that? Again, allegedly, right? It wasn't

00:28:05.580 some like random MS-13 gangbanger, I think, right? It's somebody that was making examples. It's somebody

00:28:12.740 that was angry. It was revenge. Potentially, it was a message to silence people. Dark stuff.

00:28:18.960 Yeah, it really was. I want to take a quick break here, folks. We're coming right back with Mark

00:28:22.880 Mitchell. We're going to take up. Mark's got some new poll numbers for us on what the people think.

00:28:29.740 Who's causing destruction in this country? Who's the greater threat? Is it the right-wingers? Is it

00:28:36.220 the left-wingers? And what are people saying about the assassination of Charlie Kirk? Are people saying

00:28:42.760 it's justified? Is anybody, can anybody possibly say it's justifiable to be assassinated for your

00:28:49.740 thoughts? I'm going to get Mark's taken and the numbers, folks, because everything on the show is

00:28:54.040 based on statistics or fact. So we're going to get the numbers from Mark directly, not what the

00:28:59.940 mainstream media wants you to know. We're coming right back with Mark Mitchell, folks. Please stay with us.

00:29:10.220 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us. Now, as promised, Mark's got some new polling numbers

00:29:15.120 for us. Mark, tell us first, what are the people saying about the assassination of Charlie Kirk?

00:29:22.060 There can't be anybody out there who thinks what was done to him is justifiable, right? I hope.

00:29:29.680 I mean, John, everybody, everybody watching this knows the real answer. And the real answer is like

00:29:36.520 roughly a quarter of the country is just completely lost, like just completely lost. I wonder if there's

00:29:43.240 hope for them because it's like soulless behavior. Can that really be fixed? Like if you're demonic,

00:29:49.620 maybe you can be bullied or ostracized into acting within social mores and constraints. Maybe.

00:29:57.540 I guess that's how people used to do it. But we mentioned and we've seen the signal before

00:30:04.700 burning down Tesla dealerships, happy that Luigi Mangione killed somebody wishing that the

00:30:10.200 Butler assassinated hadn't missed Donald Trump. Turning point founder Charlie Kirk was recently

00:30:15.140 assassinated while holding an event in Utah, which is closer to your opinion that Charlie Kirk was

00:30:21.520 peacefully and respectfully debating people. And it's a tragedy that he was murdered.

00:30:28.940 That's the right answer. The wrong answer is that Charlie Kirk was speaking hateful words

00:30:34.220 and his murder was tragic, but understandable. So we didn't go like total, total like evil.

00:30:41.240 We allowed people a little bit of a wiggle room there. You know, okay, it was a tragic murder,

00:30:45.380 but it was understandable that his hateful words caused it pretty demonic because we have a first

00:30:52.460 amendment. People have national rights. 62% said the right answer. 26% said the wrong answer.

00:31:00.300 Another 12% were not sure. Now, obviously some of those don't know what Charlie Kirk was saying.

00:31:05.960 So I guess, but other people, uh, I guess just morally didn't care to answer. The right answer

00:31:12.920 was 66% men, 58% women, only half of 18 to 29 year olds got the right answer. Uh, they were the worst 1.00

00:31:21.120 by far, but they were followed by the olds, the olds, only 60% of them got the right answer.

00:31:27.900 Less than half of the black electorate got the right answer. Only 49%, not a good look.

00:31:34.440 Only 42% of Democrats got the right answer. They were split 42 to 40 self ID liberals. 54%

00:31:42.960 picked the wrong answer. Only 28%, the right answer. Uh, no educate, no income signal, no education

00:31:50.640 signal at grad degrees, a little more evil than everybody else. Kamala Harris voters, 1.00

00:31:55.960 a plurality, 48% of Kamala Harris voters said that Charlie Kirk's was speaking hateful words and his

00:32:05.040 murderer was tragic, but understandable. 48% half of Kamala Harris voters.

00:32:09.780 Wow. 26% say it was pretty much justifiable. I'd love to meet those 26% to see what they look like,

00:32:19.560 to see what they act like and see who they are. Cause that's, we, you know who they are. They go to

00:32:24.460 no Kings rallies. They yell at you in, uh, in your community for, you know, the Karen stuff. They sit

00:32:32.660 in your church in the pews and man, if the pastor says the wrong thing, he's going to get a, he's going to

00:32:38.780 get a piece of their, uh, their opinion because their religion is more important. They're maintaining

00:32:44.440 the moral authority and being part of a cohesive system of artificial trust that they've built up

00:32:51.340 around authoritarianism. This is an authoritarian signal, I think, because it's the idea of, well,

00:32:56.360 somebody saying something I don't like, they need to be shut up. Then we've seen this, like we've,

00:33:00.120 they wanted to throw people who question the efficacy of vaccines in prisons, half a Democrat.

00:33:04.800 So, I mean, it's not surprising that maybe you could even say after COVID, the number's getting

00:33:10.760 smaller. Uh, like we didn't ask if the unvaccinated should be put in ditches and shot, but remember 1.00

00:33:18.620 like a Pulitzer prize winning LA times journalist did tell us that mocking the death of the unvaccinated

00:33:25.140 is gruesome. Yes, but maybe necessary. Yeah.

00:33:29.620 Uh, so what are the people saying, Mark, uh, in the same polling about who's a greater threat,

00:33:36.700 um, in this country, the right wingers or the left wingers?

00:33:40.600 Well, here's the problem is that we live in still in clown world where everything is a complete lie.

00:33:46.060 And we've covered this at length on your show that Americans support Donald Trump's agenda.

00:33:52.460 The problem is that they don't trust Republicans. They've been lied to. They disagree on who will fix the

00:33:57.640 issues. Well, they disagree about how the issues should be fixed. Uh, so a lot of mistrust everywhere

00:34:04.260 that like, that's the major problem. And so when you ask a question in terms of domestic terrorism,

00:34:09.400 which is a greater threat, right wing or left wing, right wing loses 43 to 39, i.e. like is the

00:34:16.160 plurality response right wing. Now, some people obviously don't know what right wing left wing means,

00:34:22.180 and they just hate the political violence. Cause remember we said 90% are concerned about political

00:34:26.680 violence equally on the right or the left, but it's like, this is my message to the Trump

00:34:31.640 administration. January six was a big lie. It was perpetrated on the MAGA movement. There has been

00:34:38.280 no restitution for that. We have not uncovered. They talked a big game about having a new Jan six

00:34:44.880 commission. Where is it? The clock is ticking. These things have to be corrected. They're hanging over

00:34:50.180 Americans heads and they're going to color the way they view everything that's happening. 0.87

00:34:55.880 Look at the cash Patel response. This isn't because, well, he did do a bad job. Like the,

00:35:00.780 the press release was bad. Like it was not good. And the messaging has been all over the place with

00:35:06.100 the Charlie Kirk assassination, but they don't like, they're not automatically going to assume

00:35:11.340 that now that non James Comey is in charge, that things are going to be better. That Chris Ray got

00:35:16.440 fired, that everything's fixed. It's not that people need to see these things corrected.

00:35:24.440 Extraordinary mistrust requires extraordinary proof.

00:35:27.840 Well, that's what I was going to say. If, if it's, I mean, it's not, the Republicans are doing

00:35:33.000 this to themselves. They promised something and they're not delivering on it, but you and I both

00:35:38.200 know, and this audience knows who's the real perpetrators of violence. I was going through Twitter

00:35:41.820 last night and I'm watching Keith Olbermann. Who's a, just a pig. He's a disgusting human being

00:35:46.940 who's been, you know, who said to Charlie Kirk should burn in hell and anyone, you know,

00:35:50.880 should go burn with them. Telling Scott Jennings last night, you're effing next. Keep me mugging

00:35:57.400 up the camera. I mean, this is the tolerant left. This is the left who, who comes after January

00:36:03.920 Sixters that they're domestic terrorists. Last I checked, there wasn't one January Sixter who killed 0.58

00:36:09.720 anybody on that day. Contrary to what the mainstream media wants you to believe that

00:36:14.920 people who died that day were killed at the hands of Capitol police officers. So you tell

00:36:20.220 me an instance of right-wing violence. I'd love to see it.

00:36:25.160 I mean, I agree with you a hundred percent and they are, they're more afraid of right-wing

00:36:30.860 violence than the right is afraid of left-wing violence. That's the problem. And they thought

00:36:36.380 it's two, it's two totally different mindsets. And the problem the Democrats are in is they're

00:36:41.580 starting to fracture in a way that when we talk 46% of MSNBC viewers said the number one issue was

00:36:48.800 threats to democracy. That's a fear anger response, right? And that was their number one issue by far

00:36:55.600 in a question that said border invasion and rising prices, less than 25% of them said prices were the

00:37:02.360 border. And so even though many of them can't even afford to put food on their table, they say, no,

00:37:07.840 have to keep Trump out of office. He's going to steal my, my democracy. And, uh, you know,

00:37:15.240 now the problem is it's like, okay, well, MSNBC is dying. 885th MSNBC.com on a similar web. It's

00:37:23.480 plunging. It's down almost 200 spots in two months. Unbelievable. The brand is literally dying,

00:37:30.280 but the, the people are digging in. Like they're doubling down on the violence, the lies still

00:37:37.820 like the Kimmel stuff, the Sinclair Disney lies that are going on. It's like, they're still going

00:37:43.380 to lie about everything. Yeah. For anyone who hasn't seen, by the way, Jimmy Kimmel's coming back,

00:37:48.080 except next star and Sinclair, who I think they own, uh, like 20% of the, uh, the networks that

00:37:56.000 cover Jimmy Kimmel show 32, uh, affiliates, uh, next star owns 32 affiliates. Sinclair operates 30

00:38:03.600 affiliates. So 62 affiliates say they have no interest in bringing back, uh, Jimmy Kimmel. Now,

00:38:10.380 I don't know if it has something to do with his ratings or something to do with his rhetoric,

00:38:13.760 but it's very, very simple. You have a broadcaster's license. You have to give equal

00:38:17.920 time. You haven't done so you broke the law. There's nothing more to it. Now that's not even

00:38:23.380 getting into Jimmy Kimmel perpetrating violence on the American people. That's not getting into

00:38:27.580 Jimmy Kimmel perpetrating violence on Tesla owners and Tesla dealerships and Elon Musk.

00:38:32.940 That's not Jimmy Kimmel bringing on people, uh, who say radical things and, and put the health and

00:38:38.260 safety of our president at risk every day. That's not getting into Jimmy Kimmel's low rated show that

00:38:43.960 has dropped off over the last 10 years to virtually zero viewership. Should I keep going, Mark?

00:38:49.820 I mean, yeah, I'm there's, there's been no accountability, which is why all of a sudden

00:38:54.180 the left freaked out. The second there was some Reddit politics was wall to wall, uh, posts about

00:39:01.040 Jimmy Kimmel. They did not care at all about the, um, massive event going on in Arizona, the Charlie

00:39:08.160 Kirk revival. In fact, even places like the subreddit for Christianity didn't really care.

00:39:13.800 They were too busy talking about free speech, fascist, uh, crackdowns. Now I think they want

00:39:18.720 their anti-fascist war. So anytime they get a little hint that this, uh, narrative will be, uh, supported,

00:39:25.120 then they will pile into it. Uh, but this was accountability and it didn't even come from the

00:39:30.060 government, which was the wild thing that, and so I applaud what Sinclair did, but they basically voted

00:39:37.120 out of self-interest, which was, man, Disney ABC is insane. We're going to have to distance ourself

00:39:42.840 to some of these overt lies because there are regulations that exist. And so, uh, I applaud it.

00:39:49.360 I absolutely applaud it because the lies are the problem. It's like these people are susceptible

00:39:55.240 to manufacture brute force consensus, very susceptible. You gov had this poll out. I didn't

00:40:01.860 get a chance to pull this, but more Americans see left-wing beliefs behind Charlie Kirk shooting,

00:40:07.260 then see right-wing beliefs. So Americans got it right, but that's because Republicans were paying

00:40:13.860 attention. The Democrats only 10% think the shooter had left-wing beliefs, 33%. So they're over three times

00:40:21.040 as likely, let's say right-wing beliefs. But the real problem is that of the Democrats, 57% are like,

00:40:27.120 oh, well, I don't, I don't, nothing to see here. I have no idea why this guy did it. Uh, that's bad.

00:40:33.220 So they're either misinformed in a state of soul crushing cognitive dissonance. There's, there's a

00:40:40.500 real problem going on with the left. I just pulled up Reddit politics to see what they were talking about.

00:40:45.480 And one of the top ones was people are threatening to boycott Disney after ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel.

00:40:50.280 Let's do to Disney what we did to target. There's one problem is the right wins on the boycotts

00:40:56.800 because they're the ones who are spending the money. Uh, little old Johnny, who's on his mommy's

00:41:02.540 Hulu account, can't call up mommy and say, Hey mommy, can you cancel the Hulu account? These bad

00:41:08.280 people did something wrong. No. Cause mommy wants to watch her show. These people care. And it's,

00:41:13.140 it's sort of funny to see the left cares more about being able to watch a show. Me, Mark, I don't care.

00:41:18.660 I'll cancel it all. I won't want. I watch sports. It's the only thing I watch. The only thing I care

00:41:22.960 about. Okay. I will cancel it all. I don't give a damn. Whereas these leftists, their lives revolve

00:41:29.340 around entertainment television. They can't do so. Their boycotts don't work because they don't spend

00:41:35.180 any money when the Republicans or the right wagers or whatever you want to call them went after target.

00:41:40.960 And they're targeting these people, no pun intended for rightful causes, taking your kids into target

00:41:46.660 to see all this gay and tranny stuff is, I think a good reason to boycott a brand. And it worked. 1.00

00:41:52.840 It was all gone. Uh, Disney, of course, Bob Iger's a weenie caved, uh, and he's given this man back

00:42:00.080 his show after six days. It's not even a punishment at this point. It looks like it was just a show for

00:42:04.580 him to put on. Um, but there is no boycotting on the left because they don't spend any money. 0.94

00:42:10.340 What are you going to boycott? Like I said, call mommy and say, Hey, mommy, cancel the, uh,

00:42:15.620 cancel the Hulu subscription. They're being mean to us again. They canceled the man who's got

00:42:19.120 shitty ratings on his show. What? I mean, I think that's specifically what it is.

00:42:24.700 And I think it will be minimal impact because boycotts on the right work. And we've seen it in the

00:42:29.460 polling when Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney thing happened. People in the, uh, people in the

00:42:36.040 40 to 64 year old male demographic, I forget the numbers, but it was something like four to one.

00:42:41.580 They said they were going to consume less Bud Light. And that is obviously their key demographic, 0.92

00:42:46.840 right? Like it doesn't matter what the women say, because they're probably not drinking as much

00:42:51.380 Bud Light as the guy that gets off his construction job and buys a 30 pack and then drinks like 12 of

00:42:56.440 them. Uh, so the right boycotts work as we've seen the target and everything else.

00:43:01.500 You know why they work? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off, but I have a short memory span.

00:43:06.500 I'll forget. The reason I think they work on the right is because we take things personally.

00:43:12.660 I'll never forget after Michael Flynn got deplatformed and debanked by chase. I went to go

00:43:18.120 see my father at his office and on his desk, yet is chase, uh, Sapphire, whatever the expensive

00:43:24.840 credit card they have to pay a lot of money for to have it cut up into a million pieces on his desk

00:43:29.580 with a letter to Jamie Dimon, who he's known for years, pretty much saying, go F yourself.

00:43:36.060 And the letter read, you deplatformed general Michael Flynn. I deplatformed you goodbye. I don't

00:43:42.240 need your services. There's five other banks out there. And it was personal. It was personal for him

00:43:47.400 that, that you did this to this great American or anybody. You don't even have to be a good person.

00:43:52.780 It shouldn't happen to anybody to be debanked for your beliefs. Okay. Unless of course you're

00:43:58.320 causing destruction, like the anarchists on the left do, but we take it personally because we know

00:44:05.160 they're trying to harm us. The leftists don't really know. They read off a sheet of paper and

00:44:10.440 you see it in these protests. They're handed out pieces of paper, say this and chant this. There's

00:44:14.480 no conviction to anything they do. These people are a bunch of stooges or to put it nicely, a bunch of

00:44:19.940 sheep. They're a bunch of bullies. Now I think the bulk of Democrats are sheep, but the core loudest

00:44:27.060 voice are bullies because they, will they boycott? I'm sure some people canceled Disney plus. I'm sure

00:44:35.340 some people canceled Hulu. Those businesses are expensive and not making money and declining.

00:44:40.480 And I love it because I think Disney plus is a Bob Iger like pet project and it's failing. It's

00:44:48.380 obviously they created crap content. Everybody left it. And so hopefully it hastens the demise of

00:44:53.760 Disney. I would love it. But the reason I think that they're effective in this case, assuming the

00:45:00.760 boycott had an action is that the people in places like Disney who have infested it with wokeness

00:45:06.940 don't really care about the financial incentives. Like they took the two most valuable entertainment

00:45:11.500 franchises practically they're up there in the top Indiana Jones and star Wars. Oh, and don't forget

00:45:17.500 Marvel and try to turn them into girl brands made them like super cringy and mediocre entertainment. 1.00

00:45:23.820 And they destroyed billions of dollars worth of shareholder value, but all of the people are still

00:45:29.100 there. They have not been fired. But when you see a wall to wall flood of bitching on Reddit from the 0.98

00:45:37.520 left, these people who are on Reddit and work in the writer's rooms who work all of a sudden, they are

00:45:43.780 not in the center of the pack. They're on the outside of the pack. And I think out of fear and a

00:45:49.200 willingness to maintain the cult standing, they are very, very driven to desperate action. I think

00:45:56.100 the left is driven by desperation. I think the right, as we're seeing is increasingly like justice,

00:46:02.420 I think is a selfless act resolve. Like these are things that's like, no time to fix this crap.

00:46:08.580 And people don't want to, aren't putting up with it anymore. You know why it's easy for the left Mark.

00:46:13.680 It just dawned upon me because when you have people who are gutless and we'll end it there,

00:46:18.420 like Bob Iger, it's very easy because these people cave and it's, they don't even want to cancel in the

00:46:24.180 first place. Bob Iger didn't want to cancel Jimmy Kimmel show. He did it as a little, now it's more

00:46:29.640 than apparent. He did it as, you know, just, just a show. Hey, look, we, we yelled at him. We told

00:46:34.420 him, don't do it again. I guarantee you Jimmy Kimmel show tonight. He's probably back to his same

00:46:40.020 hateful rhetoric. That's going to get more people killed. It's all a show. And it's because Bob Iger

00:46:46.940 agrees with people like Jimmy Kimmel. They hate Donald Trump. They hate everything about him.

00:46:52.060 They hate everything he stands for. They hate every pro-American stance he has because these

00:46:57.060 people are globalist elite oligarchs who want the one world order. They want to be invested in China.

00:47:04.940 They want to be invested in every other country and outsource everything to call centers in India 0.97

00:47:10.180 and outsourcing to Asia and everything to wherever. That's why they hate America. If Bob Iger loved

00:47:17.940 America, he would never allow the shit that he allowed to happen to Disney, the transgender, 1.00

00:47:23.920 this, the transgender, that he knows it in his right conscience that it's wrong. And it's wrong 1.00

00:47:28.580 to put that in front of children. He knows right from wrong. If he loved this country, he would have

00:47:33.580 stopped this years ago. It's apparent Bob Iger hates America as do most of these people, Jamie

00:47:38.940 Diamond, Brian Moynihan, whatever you want to talk about any of these oligarchs who are making 30,

00:47:43.460 40 million dollars a year. They all hate this country. To them, they should take their pace

00:47:48.120 and get the hell out and go to a country that more aligns with your values like China or Russia 0.90

00:47:53.380 or Iran or Venezuela. Weak men create hard times. And I don't know if it's BlackRock's ESG department.

00:48:02.360 I don't know if it's the equity research analyst from Goldman Sachs. I don't know if it's Kamala Harris's

00:48:09.280 chief of staff calling up and screaming into the phone or maybe just because Bob Iger's wife wants

00:48:14.720 to not get laughed at when she goes to her pickleball league. I don't know what it is, but it's obviously

00:48:20.460 one of the above or all a combination of all of them. That's what it that's what it took to sell out

00:48:26.360 their own customers and the legacy of Walt Disney. I don't earth to be a propaganda outfit or like

00:48:34.520 ABC. Remember fixing debates, ABC funding 538, which is a propaganda outfit whose goal was to

00:48:42.280 information keep the polling industry. Speaking of standing strong, Mark, President Trump telling

00:48:53.220 Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries just moments ago to go pound sand he has no interest in meeting with them

00:48:59.740 because he knows what it's all about. President Trump writing on Truth Social, quote,

00:49:04.920 after reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the minority leader,

00:49:11.420 left Democrats in return for their votes for keeping our thriving country open, I've decided that no meeting

00:49:17.360 with their congressional leaders could possibly be protective. They are threatening to shut down the government

00:49:22.500 in the United States unless they can have over a trillion dollars in new spending to continue their

00:49:25.980 free health care for illegal aliens, transgenders, and he goes on to name a long list. I think that's

00:49:32.640 absolutely brilliant. These people don't want to work with us. They want to go over there. He wants to sit

00:49:36.960 down in front of Donald Trump like he did with Nancy Pelosi. That's Chuck Schumer who said you're going to

00:49:41.640 own this shutdown and Donald Trump says, yeah, I'll own it. Donald Trump is absolutely brilliant and he may

00:49:47.960 finally win a funding fight with the Democrats, which is very hard to do because the Republicans

00:49:53.620 are so damn stupid. And I'm not saying Donald Trump. I'm saying the Republicans in the House and Senate.

00:50:00.000 I think the first debt ceiling really robs Chuck Schumer of a lot of his political capital

00:50:05.620 because they've been holding shutdowns over Republicans' heads and the Republicans are so freaking

00:50:10.260 stupid. The public now is so upset about the debt that they actually support government shutdowns.

00:50:15.860 Imagine a country that only 30% trust the federal government. Imagine them being upset that the

00:50:20.940 government shut down. It doesn't make any sense. And when the government was shut down the last time

00:50:25.820 we polled on people, well, does it have an impact on your personal life? 90% of people are like,

00:50:30.140 no. So every time we ask, we're getting a number of 56% who are like, hey, if a partial government

00:50:39.100 shutdown, should we do that until Republicans and Democrats can agree to cut spending? 56 to 34,

00:50:45.840 with Democrats, it's only like minus 10. I think 40% of Democrats are like, yeah, shut it down.

00:50:52.120 I don't give a crap. 73% of Republicans, like three quarters of Republicans. And I say this every

00:50:57.840 time, just call their bluff. Just tell them to screw off. It's going to be hilarious. Now,

00:51:03.480 I would love to see like Doge come back and go hog wild on the rotten corpse of the federal government

00:51:09.880 as it's shut down. But the establishment does not want the government shut down, right? Like all of

00:51:15.200 these lobbyists, like probably some of their contracts dry up. They don't know how to plan

00:51:20.280 for the next fiscal year. The bombs have to stop. Like, I'm sure there are people who are freaking out

00:51:27.180 and melting people's phones right now because of this courageous and strong stance that Donald Trump

00:51:32.320 has taken. I hope this thing gets shut down for the remainder of his term. Like, go ahead and do

00:51:38.380 it. Yeah. Let's see how we do without it. Speaking of Doge, what's your take on Elon Musk

00:51:44.160 possibly coming back into the picture? You know, I've said all along, it's great to bring him back

00:51:50.100 in if we can. He was a great help to the country. I think he did a great service. Don't agree on how

00:51:56.180 he treated Donald Trump. Don't agree on how he went about that in the public domain, spewing lies

00:52:01.980 like that. But Donald Trump has forgiven people who have done far worse to him than that. So what's

00:52:07.920 your take on it? Yeah. And I also don't like how into corporate welfare that Elon Musk is. I mean,

00:52:16.300 I guess I can tolerate that. Elon Musk is pretty astute at social media. And so I think he knows how

00:52:23.180 to push people's buttons. And he, I think he knew Charlie Kirk. I don't know how well,

00:52:28.860 but he went to the event, but it's like, okay, well, he knows America is waiting to see

00:52:33.120 this rift get healed. And then Donald Trump's a showman too. So he knows the optics are powerful.

00:52:38.480 Then if you go to Elon's feed, he's leaning into it and talking about the religious aspects of the

00:52:44.400 event. We're all very, very, very smart stuff. The question is what is happening behind the scenes?

00:52:49.360 And I love having Elon around if he's going to actually fund reformation within the conservative

00:52:56.120 movement, which we've talked about at length on your show about how corrupt I think it all is.

00:53:01.940 But what was weird is I saw an internet exchange where Rich Barris was like talking about this

00:53:08.060 specifically. And somebody within the Trump administration was like, you don't know what

00:53:13.680 you're talking about. And the America PAC and turning point USA was working hand in hand with

00:53:18.560 the RNC. And we, we did the best, get out the vote, get out the blah, blah, blah. And so even to

00:53:23.740 this day, I think that people within Republican circles are very blind to the reality and how

00:53:29.240 completely outclassed they are by Democrats. It's like, if, if, if you imagine the Republican

00:53:36.100 platform as like a car, a vehicle, and Donald Trump happens to be the person in the driver's seat

00:53:42.160 right now, that doesn't mean the vehicle's good. Like he could be really just good at driving.

00:53:48.060 The Democrats are operating like a fricking Maserati right now. And this is like a piece of

00:53:53.000 crap, 40 year old, like you go, and it needs work. And who's going to fund that because all of the 0.83

00:53:59.720 money that goes on the Republican side, it just goes into enriching themselves. It goes into maintaining

00:54:05.740 the status quo and like respectfully turning point USA and America PAC did really great work.

00:54:12.200 Don't think the Republicans can pat themselves on the back for that. And because every Republican

00:54:17.060 I talked to, like all the MAGA people get shut out of the races, money doesn't go to the right

00:54:21.900 place. I know for a fact that they don't give a crap about polling and they're really bad at 0.52

00:54:26.380 messaging. So you put those two things together and you're like, like, no, you're not performing

00:54:30.440 correctly. So I would love to see him get serious and work maybe with J.D. Vance to put together a

00:54:37.960 new infrastructure that gives people an option. Like that's different than just taking the RNC

00:54:45.280 garbage. I want to run. I want to change America. I'm an American first person. Don't really like the

00:54:50.780 Republicans. What are my options? Well, you're going to have to take Kevin McCarthy's deal. He,

00:54:56.120 you got to kiss his butt and you got to use his vendors. That's the kind of stuff that happens 0.67

00:55:01.200 right now. And the people in the RNC will say, no, it's not. No, we're changing it. Well, are you

00:55:05.740 though? You've talked to these people. They are not ideologues. They do not give a crap about the

00:55:10.140 American middle class. They can convince themselves these problems don't exist in Washington, D.C., 0.67

00:55:14.940 where K Street rules. Go look at opensecrets.org and you can find out who those political pundits are,

00:55:21.860 those genius political pundits who are making tens of millions of dollars a year.

00:55:26.120 for these quote unquote America first candidates. Mark, before we wrap, this is probably something

00:55:32.000 that you haven't seen yet. It's just coming across here. President Trump in a meeting with

00:55:36.800 Vladimir Zelensky just earlier today was asked, do you think NATO countries should shoot down Russian

00:55:42.820 aircraft if they enter their airspace? President Trump replied, yes, I do.

00:55:47.600 The world craves war. It's the most predictable thing. I don't want my children to die in a

00:56:01.840 conflagration between three nuclear powers. I really don't. And I think Americans support it less,

00:56:08.560 like only 38% wanted boots on the ground in Israel. Hopefully America, I don't know, man. I think 0.96

00:56:16.780 hopefully he's posturing. Like that's probably the thing you would tell Vladimir Putin and you would

00:56:21.580 hope that Vladimir Putin is sane enough not to do it. But then I don't trust our side to not do false

00:56:28.760 flags at all because I think NATO craves war. They're expansionists. This is literally an anti-Russia.

00:56:35.340 This is a Eurasian crusade is the only thing that I can surmise based on all of the posturing.

00:56:43.480 So I don't know. The window is closing for Trump to deescalate this stuff,

00:56:48.160 but it would be very helpful way to reestablish the dollar hegemony winning another massive world war.

00:56:58.440 Yeah. And of course it will be, you know, paved with the blood of the proletariat. 0.99

00:57:04.700 Yeah. The thing that doesn't get enough coverage, Mark, is that NATO has been craving new war and war

00:57:09.380 since the early nineties when they've continued to expand their borders as they promised they weren't

00:57:15.620 going to do. So hopefully, like you said, it was just on president Trump's part trying to bring

00:57:23.040 Vladimir Putin to the table to end this thing once and for all, because we don't need another war.

00:57:27.400 We don't need a war. We don't need to be sending our kids to go fight a war between Russia and Ukraine.

00:57:32.360 I mean, it's it's truly sad, Mark, that we've come to this point now where we can't get ourselves out of our own way.

00:57:42.020 We can't get ourselves away from war.

00:57:44.360 And even I've been tracking public opinion on it through Gallup, who polls Ukrainians and, you know,

00:57:54.600 like there's always been this artificial goalposts of being like, well, no, Vladimir Putin has to pack up

00:58:01.400 and completely leave. Well, no, there's probably like ethnic disputes and some of these people want

00:58:06.220 to be part of like, there's a lot. And like, how are you going to make him? There's a lot in wanting

00:58:12.400 that. But that has always been ubiquitously the goal in the way that the press and the politicians

00:58:17.060 frame it. We need to reclaim every bloody inch. Well, support is starting to collapse among

00:58:24.760 Ukrainians, according to the Gallup poll. Now, not according to the International Republican

00:58:31.260 Institute USAID funded poll. That poll still shows that people want to bleed in Ukraine.

00:58:36.460 But the percent of Ukrainians who think we should continue fighting until it wins the war

00:58:42.740 started at 74 per 73 percent in 22 is down now to 24 percent.

00:58:50.140 Wow. And negotiating a quick ending is up to 69 percent.

00:58:55.180 And that's as of August. So. Interesting sanity will prevail.

00:59:00.180 Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. We just got also wordmarked now unrelated to this, but I guess

00:59:06.200 I got to get your take on this. Chad Mazzell is leaving the Department of Justice.

00:59:10.400 People are saying it was Chad Mazzell, Attorney General Pam Bondi's chief of staff.

00:59:16.480 What does that mean? Poor guy.

00:59:20.460 Do you think she's on her way out? I don't know. I mean, that sounds like a scapegoat.

00:59:25.220 Maybe he was bad at his job. Maybe he was really good at his job and he was just scapegoated.

00:59:29.860 I don't know that guy personally. And I'll tell you, her polling is not that bad,

00:59:36.140 but it's like with these kind of things, it's like what the core, what the narrative

00:59:41.200 matters. And people are asking. And then there's this whole thing where, you know, Trump tweeted and

00:59:46.780 he's desperately pleading with her to finally take action. And I don't know. It would probably be bad

00:59:54.880 for her to leave because I like this gives the Republicans in the Senate more power to influence 0.98

01:00:00.340 who gets confirmed as a replacement. What I think they should probably do is take somebody who is

01:00:06.420 already confirmed that could do a good job and transplant them. And I don't know necessarily who

01:00:12.620 that would be. I would have said Cash Patel three or four months ago, but Andrew Bailey should have

01:00:18.400 been attorney general of the United States, Andrew Bailey, who's now over at the FBI.

01:00:24.440 Has he received Senate confirmation?

01:00:27.420 No, but he'd have no problem receiving Senate confirmation. The guy's, from what I see,

01:00:32.340 the guy's clean as a whistle. The guy's got just an extraordinary background. Overall, really,

01:00:38.400 really, really good guy. There's nobody more well-spoken, I think, in government than Andrew Bailey.

01:00:44.280 And like I said, he's got a really good, you know, track record and back and past.

01:00:51.620 I have one potential. Who's that? And I have to mention why this name came to mind. I retweeted.

01:00:59.680 By the way, Andrew Bailey's a veteran as well. Sorry. Yeah.

01:01:06.440 So I retweeted recently a pretty interesting development. An individual with the last name

01:01:12.420 Tickton, um, appeared on Emerald Robinson show, talked about how he has insider knowledge that

01:01:20.560 there was an operation in Serbia that ostensibly prevented, um, the effort that was underway in

01:01:31.140 order to steal the 2024 election. Allegedly, according to him, uh, this guy, isn't like a tinfoil hat

01:01:38.400 crackpot guy. And I thought that was a really wild interview. I didn't see the whole thing.

01:01:42.420 But what do I see? Alas, in my feed just yesterday, it's that individual. Now, a week after he made

01:01:49.940 those claims talking with a Mr. Ed Martin of the department of justice, pretty interesting.

01:01:56.160 Uh, so I think maybe Eagle Ed Martin could do a good job and he has been Senate confirmed.

01:02:01.460 Well, no, he was the one who was blocked Mark. He was the one who was blocked by, uh, Mr.

01:02:06.440 Uh, Mr. Healthcare billion dollar raising, uh, from, uh, North Carolina. He was supposed to be the U S

01:02:13.400 attorney for DC. Yeah. But then didn't he get confirmed for a different position then? I don't

01:02:18.540 think there was Senate confirmation that position. Oh no. He's the head of, uh, I think he's the head

01:02:23.500 of like pardon. Um, yeah, I think he's in an unconfirmed, uh, unsentered confirmed position.

01:02:29.900 I'm pretty sure correctly if I'm wrong, but he was the one who couldn't get through because of,

01:02:33.620 uh, what's his name?

01:02:35.700 What's that?

01:02:37.680 Tom Tillis.

01:02:38.560 Right. Tom Tillis.

01:02:39.980 Because of Forma.

01:02:40.780 Told you.

01:02:41.280 Right. So he couldn't get Senate confirmed because of Tom Tillis, because of Tom Tillis,

01:02:46.940 of course, uh, background and, uh, money-making scheme.

01:02:50.280 Oh, what a bummer.

01:02:51.760 Um, but yeah, you're right.

01:02:54.800 So who the hell?

01:02:56.100 Like I'm telling you, Andrew Bailey, I think has positioned himself.

01:03:00.100 You look at the work Andrew Bailey has done as, uh, as a G from Missouri.

01:03:04.320 And it's, I mean, it's on par with Ken Paxton, who I think is probably one of the greatest,

01:03:09.700 uh, attorney generals.

01:03:11.720 Uh, you know what I'm saying?

01:03:12.520 Like take a Harmy Dillon and put her there and then Phil, I don't know. 0.72

01:03:16.280 Like there's gotta be somebody, John.

01:03:19.440 Yeah.

01:03:19.880 That's somebody is, um, Andrew Bailey.

01:03:23.240 Yeah.

01:03:23.640 How long, how long is it going to take?

01:03:25.200 He he'll get confirmed in what?

01:03:26.640 2027.

01:03:27.500 Well, according to Kyle Serafin, this FBI whistleblower who I follow on Twitter, I, some

01:03:32.880 of the stuff he says, I think is, is, um, at a, he takes things, I think too personally.

01:03:38.100 And, uh, a lot of his attacks on cash for tell are personal based attacks, not based on

01:03:43.580 substance.

01:03:43.980 So I take it with a grain of salt.

01:03:46.000 I don't know what his background is.

01:03:47.620 Apparently an FBI guy, but, uh, a career FBI guy, but, um, so I take everything with

01:03:53.740 a grain of salt, but he's saying catch Patel is going to be out, you know, any week, any

01:03:58.540 month now at the FBI and Andrew Bailey is going to take over.

01:04:02.100 So that's what he's saying.

01:04:04.120 I'd much rather see, uh, Andrew Bailey at attorney general or someone like Ken Paxson at attorney

01:04:10.640 general rather than, uh, you know, what we have now.

01:04:15.060 I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm just getting tired, Mark.

01:04:17.280 I'm tired of waiting.

01:04:18.060 I'm tired of, I'm just, I'm just tired.

01:04:20.520 I don't dislike Pam Bondi personally, nothing like that. 0.67

01:04:23.920 I'm tired.

01:04:25.000 We sat here for 10 years and watched everything that was done to us in this country and nothing

01:04:30.200 is being done right now.

01:04:31.620 We're told grand jury's impaneled here, grand jury's impaneled there, grand jury there,

01:04:35.940 there, there, there that's months ago.

01:04:38.020 It doesn't take this long.

01:04:39.560 This is a case that's been, they've been going on for 10 years now.

01:04:43.240 Um, it shouldn't take this long.

01:04:45.860 I'm sorry.

01:04:46.240 We shouldn't be told a grand jury was impaneled two or three months ago, and now we're still

01:04:50.640 sitting here waiting.

01:04:51.360 So I'm just tired of it.

01:04:52.920 I mean, do your job or get out.

01:04:55.520 It just comes down to that.

01:04:57.240 Yeah, we're just now, for instance, getting off the couch to finally decide to, to stretch

01:05:03.300 and warm up and put our exercise outfit on to go after, uh, Antifa who's been burning cities 0.60

01:05:09.360 for five years.

01:05:10.220 You know what I mean?

01:05:10.920 It's like, what are we doing here?

01:05:12.480 All of the links to the communities in which they organize are all widely tracked by people

01:05:17.540 on the internet.

01:05:18.040 You know, you have literally private citizens infiltrating these groups and trying to beg

01:05:23.080 for the government to do something.

01:05:24.520 And it's like, no, they're too busy painting right-wing terrorists with January 6th, which

01:05:29.780 we haven't, uh, I mean, even attempted to undo that lie.

01:05:34.680 Yeah.

01:05:35.400 Yeah.

01:05:35.780 You're absolutely right.

01:05:37.420 Uh, Mark Mitchell, we could talk for hours as we usually do.

01:05:41.080 And, uh, I'm sure we'll talk for a few hours on the phone tonight about this country and,

01:05:46.520 uh, what can be done to save it.

01:05:49.240 It's, uh, it's a scary situation.

01:05:52.060 Mark is always a delight to talk to you.

01:05:53.660 And as I said, told the audience, we're gonna try to get you on here once a week, uh, as

01:05:57.080 we're now heading into election season, because I think there's so much important, important

01:06:00.380 stuff to talk about.

01:06:01.300 And, uh, there's nobody else I'd rather piss the left off with other than you and Roger

01:06:06.000 Stone, who's also another weekly guest here on this show.

01:06:08.360 So Mark Mitchell, uh, are we streaming this week?

01:06:11.300 What are we doing?

01:06:11.760 The audience always asks me, where's Mark Mitchell?

01:06:13.940 And I'm like, Mark Mitchell's got like 30 kids and Mark Mitchell's cooking dinner for him

01:06:17.660 every night.

01:06:18.080 And he's got this dog and he's got bears in the backyard and he's got a very busy

01:06:23.420 life.

01:06:23.800 Mark, Mark is the head of the household, the wife of the household, not to discount your 0.81

01:06:28.040 wife.

01:06:28.460 I'm sure it's a wonderful woman, but, uh, you're, you're a very busy man, Mark.

01:06:33.080 You're a very busy man.

01:06:34.500 But the audio, I did like five hours of shows though yesterday, John, you know what I mean?

01:06:38.440 Like I went to bed with a sore throat.

01:06:40.360 Uh, yeah, no, we'll, uh, I don't know.

01:06:43.220 Um, I already did a lot of, I did two interviews already so far this week and live stream once.

01:06:48.140 So we can literally do anything.

01:06:49.840 Um, you know, we could do Thursday night.

01:06:52.060 That'd be fun.

01:06:53.400 Let's blast out over everybody's, uh, you know, let's do it.

01:06:57.420 I don't want to hear you did one hour this day or two hours.

01:06:59.780 I do a show five days a week, two on the weekends.

01:07:02.580 And I do, uh, for everyone who joins us on audio, I do a midday report, Mark.

01:07:05.760 All right.

01:07:06.420 Don't be lazy.

01:07:07.220 I'm just kidding.

01:07:07.800 Mark.

01:07:08.360 Five hours, Sean, five hours of video.

01:07:11.920 It's like a man who's rather shy.

01:07:14.000 It doesn't like to talk, Mark.

01:07:15.240 That's kind of hard for you to do.

01:07:18.480 Oh, it's the fluorescent lights beating into my skull.

01:07:21.660 And one day we're going to have to tell the audience looking into your eyes.

01:07:25.940 One day we're going to tell the audience about how you've corrected your own vision.

01:07:28.600 Cause I think that's, I tell everybody I know and they're like, how did he do it?

01:07:32.180 So one day we're gonna have to spend an episode on how Mark Mitchell went from like a minus four

01:07:36.740 to better eyes than me at like an under a two.

01:07:40.460 It's a five minute talk.

01:07:41.720 I'll do it right now.

01:07:44.860 Let's do it.

01:07:45.500 But Mark Mitchell, honest pollster, preeminent pollster, greatest pollster in America right

01:07:51.400 now.

01:07:51.880 And, you know, we'll say the world because Atlas Intel is over in Brazil.

01:07:55.440 So we'll get them there too.

01:07:57.080 Tell the audience, Mark Mitchell, how you corrected your vision, because I think this is probably

01:08:03.520 one of the most brilliant things that you've ever told me.

01:08:07.480 Well, I learned about it because I ask questions professionally and there is no question I won't

01:08:12.100 ask, but you're going to have to hear about it coming up after the break.

01:08:15.680 So make sure you buy pillows from John and head on over to my socials at Rasmussen underscore

01:08:20.680 poll at honest pollster on Twitter.

01:08:23.820 You're absolutely right.

01:08:24.700 You know, let's take a, let's take a break here.

01:08:27.240 Take a listen to my good friend, Mike Lindell and Mark's right.

01:08:30.280 Buy some pillows.

01:08:30.900 If you're tuning in on YouTube, Rumble, Twitter, wherever you guys are joining, drop a comment,

01:08:35.020 please.

01:08:35.720 We read all the comments.

01:08:37.820 We're coming right back with the great America show.

01:08:39.920 Please stay with us.

01:08:45.680 Thanks everybody for staying with us here on the great America show.

01:08:49.380 And Mark Mitchell is going to tell you folks how to ditch your glasses and how to fix your

01:08:55.640 vision.

01:08:56.360 This is a, this is a new one, Mark, but Dr. Mark Mitchell, since everyone's a doctor, right?

01:09:02.240 Dr. Mark, tell the audience how you corrected your vision from like a four to a one and change.

01:09:09.120 So I became ungovernable long before it was cool.

01:09:12.140 And the first institution that I lost complete trust in was the medical, uh, industry.

01:09:17.900 And the, the very first thing that they did to piss me off was I was 35.

01:09:21.560 I was a healthy guy.

01:09:22.840 I just run a marathon like three or four years before that.

01:09:25.600 And they're like, you know what?

01:09:26.980 Your blood pressure is high.

01:09:28.260 You should take a statin.

01:09:30.020 And, uh, you know, we all know our bodies.

01:09:32.360 And I was like, no, I'm not, I'm not doing that.

01:09:34.300 I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life.

01:09:35.860 That's retarded. 1.00

01:09:36.700 But why is that your answer?

01:09:38.080 Like, let's talk about, and I was completely astounded.

01:09:41.100 Um, turns out it's like, okay, well, they use medium sized cuffs on my right arm.

01:09:45.820 But if I use a normal size cup, cuff sized to me on my left arm, I don't have high blood pressure.

01:09:52.640 Imagine that.

01:09:53.280 So how many people are getting a statin, you know, because like they're looking at the wrong

01:09:59.060 kind of cholesterol, their hypertension concerns that don't exist because that's what the medical

01:10:04.180 industry does is it creates products to manage chronic disease.

01:10:08.880 And so everything aligns towards creating these chronic diseases.

01:10:12.920 Turns out I went to get a sleep study because my wife's like, Hey, I think you might have 1.00

01:10:16.360 apnea.

01:10:16.820 Your dad's got a CPAP.

01:10:17.900 Maybe you got it too.

01:10:19.260 Maybe it's hereditary.

01:10:20.260 Maybe there's something biomechanical.

01:10:22.040 So I went and got my sleep study.

01:10:23.480 And what'd they tell me?

01:10:24.160 Oh yeah, you have apnea.

01:10:25.240 You're going to die.

01:10:26.480 So you need to buy this machine from us for the rest of your life.

01:10:29.620 It will cost the taxpayers and yourself and the industry, the insurance industry and everybody

01:10:36.580 who pays a premium, oh, you know, between two and 4 million to, to care for your CPAPs

01:10:42.060 and get them resized and do sleep study like for the rest of your life.

01:10:46.200 And I'm like, no, I don't want to be sucking rubber for the rest of my life.

01:10:49.720 So I got a pulse oximeter and I did some reading.

01:10:52.660 And after a lot of searching, I was like, well, maybe I should just sleep on my side and get

01:10:56.640 a firmer mattress.

01:10:57.720 And imagine that my sleep apnea completely went away.

01:11:01.320 So then it was like, you know, what else am I being lied to about?

01:11:06.120 And I had the same journey that many people have with myopia, which is somewhere around

01:11:12.120 fifth, sixth, seventh grade.

01:11:13.920 I noticed I can't see the chalkboard anymore because I got to take notes and I'm listening

01:11:17.960 to the teacher talk.

01:11:19.160 And so your parents bring you to the optometrist and they want you to have 2020 and the optometrist

01:11:24.620 wants to sell you glasses.

01:11:25.940 And so what do you get?

01:11:27.300 You get glasses.

01:11:28.680 And then for whatever reason, everybody thinks heredity and maybe there is an aspect to heredity.

01:11:34.020 I'm not saying there isn't.

01:11:35.620 Six months down the line, I still can't see the damn chalkboard.

01:11:38.400 Well, why is that?

01:11:39.560 So I go to the optometrist and the optometrist is like, oh, sweet.

01:11:42.400 I get to sell you more glasses.

01:11:43.640 And your mom, once you corrected the 2020, my Johnny can't fail that test.

01:11:47.960 He's got to be able to see the board, the notes.

01:11:49.940 And so I went from basically being 2020 to having three and three quarters in one eye

01:11:56.740 and four and a quarter in the other eye.

01:11:58.320 So average them out to four diopters.

01:12:00.300 That was the worst my prescription ever got.

01:12:02.620 It happened in the Navy.

01:12:03.720 I think I was like 25 or 30.

01:12:05.460 And I started getting like headaches because I used like I had gotten another prescription

01:12:11.660 and miraculously, it wasn't as high.

01:12:13.640 And then I pulled these other glasses out and I put them on.

01:12:15.960 I'm like, oh, damn, I got headaches.

01:12:17.400 And so I like reading around, uh, around, I found a site called endmyopia.org and I'm

01:12:22.700 not pitching a product.

01:12:23.740 You don't have to buy a product, all the information's there, but it helped me kind

01:12:27.660 of understand the issue.

01:12:28.840 And selling glasses is a big business and most big businesses in the U S develop a racket.

01:12:36.900 One of the rackets is you can't buy glasses without getting a prescription in the United

01:12:41.200 States for myopia reading glasses.

01:12:44.400 It's fine.

01:12:44.840 You can buy them for $5 at Walmart.

01:12:47.000 So why a plus requires a prescription and a negative doesn't or vice versa, whatever.

01:12:52.480 I don't, I don't know, but it is the reality and, uh, and it's weird.

01:12:57.320 And they'll say, oh, well, we have to check.

01:12:59.400 You could be developing macular degeneration, degeneration at the age of 35, you know, it's

01:13:05.440 like, really dude, like, no, you want to sell glasses in, in England, you don't need a

01:13:12.460 prescription in order to buy myopia glasses.

01:13:14.780 And so what I did was I started ordering my contacts through England and I was getting

01:13:19.300 progressively less and less prescriptions and my eyes were fine.

01:13:23.980 I was, was I corrected to 2020 all the time?

01:13:26.460 No, it was like 2030, 2040.

01:13:28.420 But I noticed that it's like, Hey, after a few months, I could buy a lower prescription

01:13:32.900 and wear them and it would be better.

01:13:35.020 Now I'm starting to plateau out.

01:13:36.860 Part of the reason is I have an astigmatism, but I'm wearing one and a quarter diopters

01:13:41.060 right now.

01:13:41.600 And I'm corrected to probably about 2040.

01:13:43.660 And it's taken me a few years because I haven't been aggressive with it.

01:13:46.820 But basically humans are made to see long focal lengths.

01:13:49.460 If you focus on short focal lengths, it strains your eyes.

01:13:53.460 And then when you get corrective lenses, it makes the straining even worse when you look

01:13:58.460 at a low focal length.

01:14:00.700 And so that's the cycle is that people wear glasses and then they read a book or take

01:14:05.040 notes and then they read glasses.

01:14:07.040 And the problem is the shifting back and forth between a long and short focal distance.

01:14:11.300 And so you can prevent your eyes from getting worse by ensuring that you're reading without

01:14:18.960 your corrective lenses if you're going to do short distance work or under correct your

01:14:26.500 eyes and look at things from a distance.

01:14:28.680 Like my computer screen is 30 inches away from me right now.

01:14:33.000 It's just at the edge of blurry and I can use active focus while I'm working to essentially

01:14:37.840 improve my eyesight.

01:14:38.740 Now, again, I'll never get to 2020 because I have an astigmatism, which I don't think

01:14:43.540 can generally be corrected, but many people have.

01:14:47.780 And that is not something that you'll hear about.

01:14:49.780 And so it's like how many people bought glasses?

01:14:54.080 They you know, the pediatrician said to my about my son when he was five.

01:14:59.260 Oh, he's like 2030, 2040 might want to get his eyes checked.

01:15:02.740 And I'm like, you know what?

01:15:03.820 No, like, screw you.

01:15:05.180 I'm not going to.

01:15:05.820 And sure enough, a year later, he went and he was 2020 again.

01:15:10.020 Wow.

01:15:10.300 Because it was like, yeah, it was in the winter.

01:15:12.620 Wasn't a lot of sun out.

01:15:14.040 You need to be outside getting natural light, not looking at short focal lengths, not straining

01:15:19.220 your eyes, taking breaks when you're and that's it.

01:15:21.720 You can fix it.

01:15:22.340 You just get your order.

01:15:24.620 You know, I buy my contacts from England.

01:15:26.660 It takes a week to get here.

01:15:27.820 Sometimes they put nice little gummy candies in the boxes.

01:15:34.120 It's truly every time you tell me the story, Mark, it's fascinating.

01:15:37.260 I hope the audience finds it fascinating because it's really over.

01:15:40.920 It's an issue that I've spoken about a lot of the show over prescription of people in

01:15:44.100 America.

01:15:44.960 And you look at it, whatever, SSRIs.

01:15:47.160 I mean, Americans as a whole are over prescribed on every single thing that you can possibly

01:15:53.720 prescribe somebody in this country.

01:15:56.440 I got four wisdom teeth pulled maybe two or three years ago, Mark, and they sent me home

01:16:01.460 with like 80 Percocets.

01:16:03.340 And I'm like, or whatever.

01:16:05.360 And I'm like, what the hell am I going to do with these?

01:16:08.140 Like start a pill mill?

01:16:09.300 Well, it's how many wisdom teeth don't even need to be taken out is like the question.

01:16:14.640 Like seriously, $18 billion is the combined U.S. myopia market.

01:16:21.980 Not bad.

01:16:23.700 Not a bad market.

01:16:26.260 I mean, I guess that's a lot of money.

01:16:29.200 That's and it's all a racket, John.

01:16:31.520 It's all a freaking racket.

01:16:32.820 That is absolutely.

01:16:34.200 I'm going to start online.

01:16:35.380 I think my eyes are like a two and a half or two to five or something like that.

01:16:39.360 And you know what's wild, though, is if you ask ChatGPT, I did this.

01:16:42.480 I asked ChatGPT, I said, is myopia reversible?

01:16:45.980 And ChatGPT said, no, it's absolutely not.

01:16:48.280 Wow.

01:16:50.920 So question everything.

01:16:53.120 Question everything.

01:16:54.160 You know, speaking of ChatGPT, not to give a plug to Tucker Carlson, but to give a plug

01:16:58.680 to Tucker Carlson, he did an interview with Sam Altman, OpenAI.

01:17:02.720 No way.

01:17:04.040 Oh, it was one of the greatest interviews I've ever seen.

01:17:06.840 You've got to watch it.

01:17:07.580 I mean, he looks at him in the eyes, asks him straight up if he killed the guy who allegedly

01:17:12.940 committed suicide, who was linking secrets on ChatGPT.

01:17:18.380 He talks about ChatGPT.

01:17:20.220 And will ChatGPT ever go towards telling people about suicide?

01:17:25.720 Because apparently a lot of people use it as a psychiatrist mechanism, psychiatry mechanism

01:17:30.860 and about things like that and how it differs for countries who have legal suicide.

01:17:37.720 A very deep conversation, but really, really good.

01:17:41.780 And I mean, Tucker asks all the right questions.

01:17:44.500 And the CEO, Sam Altman, seems like a little bit of a strange, strange guy.

01:17:51.360 And it's really weird when Tucker starts asking him.

01:17:54.100 He thinks it's strange that his guy committed suicide.

01:17:57.440 I mean, he goes into all the scenarios.

01:17:59.260 And this guy just got back from vacation with his friends.

01:18:01.920 His friends say he wasn't suicidal.

01:18:03.380 He ordered food off of DoorDash.

01:18:06.080 And Sam Altman, this one was one that got me really spooked out.

01:18:11.260 Sam Altman to Tucker Carlson saying, you know, Tucker's like, this guy just ordered DoorDash.

01:18:15.660 You know, he got home from vacation.

01:18:16.720 He was all happy and everything.

01:18:17.940 And Sam Altman goes, well, a lot of people order their favorite foods before they commit suicide.

01:18:21.880 You're like, wait.

01:18:23.280 Oh, no.

01:18:23.920 What?

01:18:25.480 That's the strangest argument.

01:18:28.620 And Tucker's like, yeah, but, you know, security cameras were cut at the court.

01:18:32.740 And there was a wig in this guy's house.

01:18:34.720 And it didn't even belong to him.

01:18:36.120 And he committed suicide.

01:18:37.500 And there's blood in two different rooms.

01:18:39.300 Like, who commits suicide, shoots himself in one room, and then goes to the other.

01:18:43.780 And Altman sits there.

01:18:45.280 And I don't know, you know, what the deal is.

01:18:47.680 But he should have had less Tylenol when he was a child.

01:18:52.840 Dude, I don't.

01:18:53.940 It was an excellent interview on Tucker Carlson's part.

01:18:57.480 For Altman, I don't know why he agreed to sit down with Tucker because the questions he asked, Mark, were absolutely phenomenal.

01:19:04.340 And based on Altman's body language, I'm not a body language expert, but I know when someone's getting awkward, something's wrong.

01:19:14.660 Mark, I recommend everybody go check out that interview, by the way, on YouTube or wherever.

01:19:19.300 I'm doing it right now.

01:19:20.440 So, and on a light note, since we just talked about Mark correcting his vision, the MLB just announced, now Mark's not a baseball guy or a sports guy, but the MLB just announced, starting next season, for all us baseball fans, this is big.

01:19:33.680 They're going to have robotic umpiring and teams will allow to have two challenges a game on bad calls.

01:19:40.880 And now I watch a lot of baseball, especially this time of year.

01:19:44.760 And I watch my Yankees, who I think are going to lose very, very shortly, breaks my heart.

01:19:49.820 But you watch a lot of games be ruined now.

01:19:52.780 I don't know if for years you've heard people saying sports betting is rigged and this and that.

01:19:58.820 But you watch a lot of these things and, you know, 80 percent, 85 percent, because after every MLB game, Mark, they do a breakdown of how the calls were, if they were correct.

01:20:09.380 And you hear guys coming in at like 85 percent, getting eight and a half for 10 calls, right?

01:20:15.720 That's the change of a game.

01:20:17.180 I mean, even 90 percent, you get one call wrong.

01:20:20.760 That's the difference between game over and a walk-off run.

01:20:25.080 So I think it's going to be interesting to see that the push towards AI, we're seeing it this year.

01:20:30.440 I know you're not a sports fan, but in the NFL, Mark, they're using it for the first down marker.

01:20:34.400 They're using AI-generated technology to try to get human error.

01:20:39.340 The truth of the matter is, is –

01:20:42.300 I don't like it.

01:20:44.100 Humans are wrong.

01:20:45.540 Machines are usually not wrong unless –

01:20:49.140 No, but I don't like the idea of machines being unquestionable.

01:20:52.460 John, I'm a referee, and people probably want to replace me with a machine.

01:20:57.780 But I like the idea –

01:21:00.540 I'm the referee for the American people.

01:21:02.880 Oh, I thought that was –

01:21:04.380 The kids.

01:21:05.840 No, I call balls and strikes for the voters.

01:21:08.680 And they would probably love to replace me with an opaque black box that tells society what Americans think.

01:21:17.900 Back off.

01:21:18.880 No way.

01:21:20.380 That's capitalism, Mark.

01:21:21.680 Let them do it.

01:21:22.340 If you're doing it better –

01:21:23.380 I'm always under the impression, Mark, if somebody could do my job better than me, they deserve to have my job.

01:21:28.840 So I think that's a really good mantra to live by, and I've always told that to Lou Dobbs.

01:21:34.220 So we'd argue –

01:21:35.220 I mean, we'd argue every day about something.

01:21:37.680 And I mean, there were times where I think he probably wanted to fire me, which he never could because –

01:21:41.980 I think this idea of like tradition, integrity, you know, ideals will get lost in the ones and zeros.

01:21:51.060 You know what I mean?

01:21:51.500 Like I don't care if they're not 100% accurate.

01:21:54.960 If they're 100% of the time, they're trying to be accurate.

01:21:57.460 Yeah, but let me ask you this question, Mark.

01:21:58.860 Hold on.

01:21:59.780 What about the idea that machines are uncompromisable on its face?

01:22:04.760 Now, I'm not talking about all machines, obviously, especially when it comes to voting machines.

01:22:08.800 They're compromisable when it comes to the human compromising them.

01:22:11.800 But if you think about it, you're compromisable.

01:22:14.760 I'm not saying you per se, but someone in your industry, as we've seen, is compromisable.

01:22:19.560 Whereas a black box, if put –

01:22:22.800 The idea that any black box is uncompromisable, is so dangerous and manipulable by powers that be, that's the problem.

01:22:34.240 Well, it's only compromised by human, though.

01:22:36.220 It's not compromised by itself.

01:22:39.300 Yeah, but the idea that all of a sudden we're going to be able to do away with that stuff.

01:22:43.380 No, I'm not saying.

01:22:44.160 By entrusting it entirely to machines.

01:22:46.100 That is not the case.

01:22:48.200 It's never going to be the case.

01:22:49.580 So let's just acknowledge that everything is human.

01:22:52.280 It will be, unless we want to cede our leadership to the first all-powerful AI or alien race that comes along.

01:23:00.820 And that humans are corruptible.

01:23:04.840 And the only way to really prevent that, work in that kind of system, is acknowledge that they're corruptible and try to instill the ideals of integrity in society.

01:23:17.160 Good luck.

01:23:18.220 Good luck with that.

01:23:19.580 I'm taking the machine any day over it.

01:23:22.120 Humans are just such compromise – us as a human species are just compromisable people.

01:23:27.360 I'm not talking about you or I, but I'm talking about just about everyone else, Mark.

01:23:31.720 Everyone is compromised or bought or owned by something or there's a price for something.

01:23:36.320 There's very few people who are not compromisable.

01:23:39.960 And it's just the truth of the matter.

01:23:44.140 Obviously, joking about the machines compromising.

01:23:47.960 They didn't compromise themselves.

01:23:49.280 They're compromised by a human being, which further proves my point that humans are guilty.

01:23:56.360 John, this is the battle of our generation, though.

01:24:00.240 That's the thing.

01:24:01.240 You know what I mean?

01:24:01.940 Like one of my favorite books is Don Quixote.

01:24:04.200 And it's not comfortable.

01:24:05.980 It's not comfortable mistrusting everything.

01:24:09.660 But it's probably the best viewpoint to have right now.

01:24:13.600 It really is.

01:24:14.900 And well, here's the thing.

01:24:18.120 It's the way we're going to get out of this situation is returning to a high-trust society.

01:24:22.480 And in a high-trust society, nobody questions the umpires because it's like, okay, well, it's sportsmanship.

01:24:28.140 I don't want to win because of a shitty call.

01:24:30.300 You know, that's the way I see it.

01:24:32.560 I don't know.

01:24:33.580 Yeah.

01:24:33.800 I think playing sports, you should have one out of 10 calls be bad against your favor.

01:24:38.660 Yeah, I agree.

01:24:40.540 But then when you look at it, Mark, on the face when there's billions of dollars involved and a billion dollars in sports markets and there's billions of dollars in franchises and billions of dollars in payroll salary, I think that's where it gets a little bit different than high school baseball or whatever.

01:24:59.100 You know what I'm saying?

01:25:00.020 So I think that's where I draw the line.

01:25:01.560 And, you know, watching football over the years, Mark, there's been so many just disgusting things.

01:25:09.900 Just every time you think about it, John, just think about voting machines.

01:25:13.340 I know.

01:25:13.800 That's what I'm saying is like, but those voting machines were compromised by human beings.

01:25:18.740 So it's like.

01:25:20.180 As will this system be?

01:25:21.460 Yeah, but this one's I mean, right in front of our faces, like, you know, the voting machines a little bit different where it's all closed doors, you know, so it's it's tough, but that's the world we're living in now.

01:25:35.500 Human error has forced us to this point, Mark, self-driving vehicles, probably self-driving planes very soon, you know, which scares the hell out of me.

01:25:44.180 But, you know, that's it.

01:25:45.760 That's the reality of what we've come to.

01:25:47.240 So, folks, Mark Mitchell on Twitter at Honest Polster on YouTube at Rasmussen underscore pole at Rasmussen underscore pole.
