The Great America Show - THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS DEAD

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.

00:00:05.120 It's great to have you with us today.

00:00:07.100 Greetings from Morocco.

00:00:08.240 We're still over here on vacation, but continuing to work because getting the word out to you

00:00:12.960 guys is more important than just a vacation, I should say.

00:00:17.340 A lot going on in the world right now.

00:00:19.140 President Trump continuing to fill out his cabinet and heading to office in less than

00:00:25.280 two months now as we enter December and put Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror.

00:00:31.440 I hope you guys all had an excellent Thanksgiving with your family and your loved ones.

00:00:35.860 We're getting some news out as we pick back up here and get back to the swing of things

00:00:41.080 after the holiday weekend.

00:00:42.460 Elon Musk is reportedly saying the IRS is now going to be under direct audit by his Department

00:00:51.120 of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.

00:00:54.420 So some interesting news on that corner, the IRS, the folks who do the auditing of us

00:01:00.980 Americans, and it seems over the past few years, it's been primarily conservatives who have

00:01:05.540 been audited by this organization, or I should say targeted by this organization.

00:01:11.340 Some other news out this week, GOP, I'm sorry, Democrat mega-donor Reid Hoffman is reportedly

00:01:17.900 considering leaving the United States after that decisive Donald Trump victory back in November.

00:01:25.360 So we hope that he plans on doing so and considers packing his stuff up and getting the hell out of here.

00:01:33.400 The DNC has also reportedly fired approximately two-thirds of its staff since the election.

00:01:38.900 So talk about leaving their folks high and dry.

00:01:42.820 If those folks want some new jobs, they should come on over to the RNC and make their pledge 0.51

00:01:47.320 of allegiance to the party of love and MAGA and America and the party of prosperity.

00:01:54.980 So today's episode is going to be focused on something that we talk about pretty much every day here

00:02:01.340 on this show, but we're going to do a special show on it alone.

00:02:05.120 And it's distrust and dishonesty in the media of today that we all watch every single day

00:02:11.600 when we turn on our television or go online and read news on MSNBC or CNN or Fox News, you name it.

00:02:23.260 But we're all affected by it.

00:02:24.920 Dishonesty in the media is at ultra-high levels, and Americans are just not trusting them anymore.

00:02:34.220 Polling from multiple organizations show that dishonesty and distrust in the media is also at an all-time high

00:02:41.460 since they started keeping track in the 1970s.

00:02:45.340 So our guest today is Jim Hopp of The Gateway Pundit.

00:02:48.980 The gatewaypundit.com should be one of your only news sources that you should go to

00:02:54.760 because it's got everything you need, honest reporting, true reporting, with no BS, right to the point,

00:03:02.900 everything sourced, not like reading from CNN.com or MSNBC.com, The Gateway Pundit.

00:03:11.220 Jim, it's great to have you back with us here on The Great America Show.

00:03:13.860 I want to start with something first.

00:03:16.120 Gateway Pundit, I give you guys credit every single day, and I don't just do it because you guys are friends of ours.

00:03:21.580 I do it because you guys do an excellent job, honestly, and you're doing a job that a lot of people aren't doing in this media in times of today.

00:03:30.400 But the people now, Jim, I think are starting to wake up, the viewers, the listeners.

00:03:35.700 I'm going to let you get into it a little bit, the increase in traffic you guys see on your website consistently.

00:03:42.420 First, I want to go into and get your thoughts on something that I think is very interesting,

00:03:46.120 and it's the American people's trust in the media.

00:03:50.460 It's continually staying at, Jim, all-time lows.

00:03:55.260 If you look here at the chart we have up, only 31% of people have a great deal and fair amount of trust,

00:04:03.840 according to this Gallup polling in the media this year.

00:04:06.980 If you look back at 1972, at one of its high points, we can go to 1976, whereas it's 72%.

00:04:13.740 So now we've fallen off, Jim, more than 50% because Americans just don't trust these folks anymore and the job that they're doing.

00:04:22.200 I want to get your thoughts as someone who wakes up every single day and gives the news to the American people on how far we've fallen from 1972, we'll use.

00:04:33.640 Yeah, it's shocking, isn't it?

00:04:35.840 You know, I saw a poll a couple years ago.

00:04:39.240 I still keep this and pull it out every once in a while, and it's not just that the American media is distrusted.

00:04:47.260 It's that American media is actually the most distrusted media in the world out of like 50 countries.

00:04:54.480 I have this old article, which is not a surprise.

00:04:57.420 But I think two big things made this happen, made the numbers continue to drop.

00:05:06.600 One was everyone in the country knew that Joe Biden was impaired.

00:05:11.040 Everybody knew that he was having a very difficult time.

00:05:14.240 That was very apparent when he was running for president.

00:05:17.580 And ever since he became president, it was only the media that was still pushing that he was competent.

00:05:24.940 And they did that all the way up to that debate to where they couldn't they just couldn't do it anymore.

00:05:29.320 And then they act surprised.

00:05:31.560 But the rest of the public, there was already polls out that said like 60 percent knew that Joe Biden was mentally impaired.

00:05:40.040 So they were the only ones that were surprised.

00:05:42.520 And so they're always the last one, you know, to to to to for something to click with.

00:05:49.860 And that was despicable what they've done to the public with that.

00:05:55.040 I think the other thing, of course, then was covid when when we see all the different rules and regulations they had.

00:06:01.960 Now, today, we find out that I don't know if there was anything they said that was actually accurate that helped the situation.

00:06:08.360 So and and so they've lost a lot of credibility, as they should.

00:06:14.000 And they continue even to this day to continue to push this, you know, leftist narrative.

00:06:20.640 And I think people are so on to it today.

00:06:22.900 It's so it's so apparent.

00:06:24.960 You know, it's the deceptiveness, Jim, is at a whole nother level.

00:06:30.280 The thing that is so mind blowing to me is that the stupidity of it all, Jim, they lied to their own people.

00:06:36.620 They don't just lie to us who are on the right, who are going to be ending up on the right side of history, I should say.

00:06:43.340 But they lied to themselves.

00:06:45.280 We find out this week from Kamala Harris, one of her campaign folks, David Ploof, on a podcast that her internal numbers, Jim, never showed her beating Trump.

00:06:57.760 But yet now that was no secret, I'm sure, inside the campaign.

00:07:01.760 I'm sure these folks told all these left-leaning pollsters and all these people who do these polling for these Democrats that that were the case.

00:07:08.160 Yet, Jim, what we saw was consistently these polls coming out.

00:07:12.880 We saw the one that came out, I think it was the night before the election in Iowa, where it was Kamala Harris up, I think, 11 points or seven or 11 points, something like that.

00:07:21.580 That pollster has since retired, since putting out that poll.

00:07:24.740 What a way to go out, Jim.

00:07:25.860 What a legacy to have.

00:07:26.740 But you continue to see from these massive polling organizations, from folks like the New York Times, Siena, who 538 says they do the greatest polling out there, Harvard, Harris.

00:07:39.660 Actually, you can go down the list, Jim, of all these deceptive polls that we saw coming out of the election.

00:07:44.500 And nobody says a word, because one week before the election, Jim, they all came out and they put out the correct polls, which is what the numbers were the whole time.

00:07:53.540 They knew what they were.

00:07:54.720 I had Mark Mitchell on the show almost every single week leading up to the election of Rasmussen.

00:08:00.240 And Mark doesn't get enough credit, which is why I give him this audience of millions of people to come out and tell the story of what me and him were talking about for months before the election.

00:08:09.380 And his numbers, Jim, spot on, down to the popular vote.

00:08:14.420 I think he missed the popular vote by 0.3 percent.

00:08:17.460 Nostradamus, I don't think, could have done something like that.

00:08:19.680 So you have David Poulouf coming out now, Jim, saying we never saw Harris up in our own internal polling.

00:08:26.900 Where was the disconnect?

00:08:28.340 Why didn't these people want to come out and be honest?

00:08:31.680 You know, it's disgusting.

00:08:32.960 And I think a lot of Republicans have been saying for ages that the Democrats use these pollings, you know, as a tool.

00:08:38.780 And we found out today that that's exactly correct.

00:08:43.700 You know, David Poulouf, one of Obama's top men in his campaign and one of his top campaign people, comes out and admits that these polls for Kamala were, you know, she was always in the tank.

00:08:58.720 She was always underwater.

00:09:02.120 And but they didn't tell us that.

00:09:04.500 And so, of course, this is exactly what we always thought.

00:09:07.780 And now they got caught.

00:09:10.200 Yeah.

00:09:10.680 And you know what?

00:09:11.500 People are starting to, I think, wake up and realize even down to these folks.

00:09:15.980 When I worked at Fox News, one of our gold standards we use, Jim, was Axios.

00:09:20.040 Axios was always accurate when it came to reporting news.

00:09:22.880 Reuters was another one.

00:09:23.920 They run news wires.

00:09:25.300 AP was another one.

00:09:26.560 For folks who don't know what news wires are, news wires are pretty much breaking news that comes in over a wire.

00:09:32.080 And you get the news first.

00:09:33.680 And they were excellent.

00:09:34.740 I mean, some of the best out there.

00:09:36.000 Reuters is the best.

00:09:36.860 Axios is another one.

00:09:38.500 Over the last few years, Jim, I've seen a massive shift, especially from Axios, which is very disappointing.

00:09:44.140 Putting out more opinion pieces than just fact.

00:09:49.240 Axios this week put out a piece that says, behind the curtain, the big meteor era is over.

00:09:54.120 Jim, what kind of shift in viewership, in readership, in time spent on your site have you seen, we'll say, this election cycle compared to last election cycle or a past number of years?

00:10:10.380 Yeah, I think that's a pretty gutsy report that they put out on Axios because that's a condemnation of their own reporting.

00:10:17.120 For us as an independent media outlet, we've seen our numbers grow every year, except one out of 20.

00:10:24.880 We just had 20 years that we've been around Gateway Bundit.

00:10:28.000 And so our numbers this year, we'll reach a billion page visits.

00:10:34.060 We'll have an average of, right now we're averaging 3 million readers a day, page views.

00:10:42.920 So it's very respectable.

00:10:45.560 And, you know, here's the thing, too, that I have to add this, and that is that we're also one of the most censored outlets on the Internet today.

00:10:55.220 And we can prove that because we've been in a lot of lawsuits.

00:10:59.600 They always pick us to be in the lawsuit because they know that we've been censored.

00:11:03.240 We were at a Supreme Court case this past year.

00:11:06.160 But I think what it is is people tend to – it doesn't matter what culture or country you're in, people are going to try to find the truth.

00:11:17.420 It's just human nature.

00:11:19.420 And so they're going to stay away from some of this garbage that the leftist media has been putting out, and that's why their numbers are going way, way down.

00:11:27.060 When I started out, I think, well, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch was one of these storied newspapers in the country, one of the top newspapers.

00:11:36.800 And today I think we're six, seven times larger than they are.

00:11:41.740 But, again, it's because they put out filth and lies and garbage.

00:11:46.400 And then at the same time, they hurl insults at us and other independent media and conservative media and accused us of being the fake news.

00:11:56.820 And I think people catch on, you know, and that's why they continue to come to Gateway Pundit, even though it's not easy to come to Gateway Pundit because you're not going to find us on Facebook anymore.

00:12:07.080 You're not going to find us – it's even difficult on Twitter sometimes.

00:12:10.180 So you have to take those extra steps, but people are willing to do that to find the truth.

00:12:14.460 And so I think that's a great testament for our reporting.

00:12:18.420 And, of course, it says everything about the media, the left-wing media, which is just being destroyed at this time.

00:12:25.040 I think they really were just bludgeoned this year.

00:12:31.260 And I think, of course, the biggest event was when Joe Biden fell apart in that debate, which none of us were surprised about, but the media was.

00:12:42.520 And some left-wing hacks who believe what the media says.

00:12:46.860 You know, Axios points out in this article – this is referring to the Joe Rogan interview that he did.

00:12:52.620 And former President Donald Trump, which is now President-elect Donald Trump, they should correct, reached way more potential male voters with his three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.

00:13:01.320 That was over 33 million views, and that was just after the weekend, Jim.

00:13:06.060 33 million views, unbelievable.

00:13:08.260 And he could have with the dozens or more appearances on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.

00:13:12.340 All three cable news networks skew very old viewership with the median age ranging from 67 to 70.

00:13:18.820 Now, for people who don't follow television ratings, the average show, the average – we'll say Jesse Waters' prime time is probably pulling 2.5 million viewers a night.

00:13:29.960 So to put that in perspective, with Joe Rogan doing 33 million in just a week, I don't know what the number is now on the episode.

00:13:36.820 But it doesn't matter, Donald Trump's coming back to the White House.

00:13:40.520 But legacy media is completely dead.

00:13:42.900 I mean, you look at the ratings – I look at them every single day on this show, Jim – and I'm pulling higher numbers than MSNBC and CNN are pulling on their networks.

00:13:51.880 Now, that's – quite honestly, I tell you it's pathetic because we run a very low-budget, small team here.

00:13:58.420 There's a small team of us who do this show.

00:14:01.000 And we get the news out, Jim.

00:14:02.640 We're able to record an episode in 45 minutes.

00:14:04.560 We can have it out 45 minutes just after that.

00:14:07.060 We can do it live if we want to do it live.

00:14:09.300 We try to stay away from live because I have a problem with cursing that I can't control.

00:14:13.820 But, you know, we're able to run these operations, Jim, at almost no cost.

00:14:18.780 Now, you look – go look at someone like Fox News or CNN, and they're running multibillion-dollar organizations, Jim, MSNBC, CNN, and they're getting absolutely clobbered.

00:14:30.740 Producers making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

00:14:33.940 They can't even keep up with, I think, advertising to pay their producers and their staff.

00:14:39.060 It's really insane.

00:14:40.740 The shift, though, I think is taking a bigger turn towards the right side, I guess we can say.

00:14:45.760 Donald Trump Jr. announcing on a podcast this week with Michael Knowles – notice I said podcast – that after speaking with Elon Musk and his father, they might be interested in getting rid of some of the mainstream media in the White House press briefing room who are planning to cause a ruckus and bringing in some podcasters.

00:15:04.960 Joe Rogan, probably among the few, various news organizations like yourself.

00:15:11.180 What do you think about that?

00:15:12.120 Well, I think that's a great idea.

00:15:15.220 I'd love to add this, too.

00:15:17.180 Back when Trump won in 2016, Gateway Pundit, I spoke with the Trump campaign.

00:15:24.080 I had – it was such a small campaign that I could reach out and talk to people in the campaign.

00:15:30.040 And after Trump won, I said, hey, we'd love to have a spot in the White House press room.

00:15:34.880 And they thought, hey, that's a good idea.

00:15:36.260 So we announced that, and we went forward with that.

00:15:40.440 And let me tell you, it was – we were like, you know, the first wave in a battle, you know.

00:15:46.700 They just slaughtered us.

00:15:48.780 These people were the most despicable people.

00:15:52.000 We had no idea of what we were stepping into.

00:15:54.580 And I assume it will be the same way if they intend to move forward with what they're doing.

00:16:02.400 But we were alone at the time.

00:16:04.540 And they assaulted our reporter.

00:16:07.900 They, you know, verbally abused him all the time.

00:16:12.100 One time, they were just awful to him.

00:16:15.460 And these were just fellow reporters.

00:16:18.120 And it was disgusting.

00:16:19.760 These weren't good people at all.

00:16:21.020 So I assume they're going to treat anyone who comes in into their fiefdom with the same type of, you know, animosity that they did with us.

00:16:32.060 But I think it's great.

00:16:34.040 I am talking also – here's a bit of news.

00:16:36.980 Chanel Rian from OAN, last Trump was in, she got tired of the fact that these people were just giving Trump a hard time.

00:16:46.160 Trump did some amazing things.

00:16:48.220 We all know that.

00:16:49.100 They got amazing things.

00:16:50.660 They got no credit because every time they held a press conference, they'd be, you know, screaming about Russia, which was a complete lie now.

00:16:59.080 You know, all of that, every bit of that was a lie.

00:17:02.600 And so Chanel Rian, you know, started this new media outlet at the White House.

00:17:08.260 And we were part of that.

00:17:09.380 And she's also pushing to do something like that again.

00:17:12.900 And I think that's a great idea because Americans deserve – and you know this, John – Americans deserve to have both sides.

00:17:20.940 And, you know, one thing also that I noticed, because this is very close to me.

00:17:25.820 We went through hell going – having a reporter inside and have him be so abused.

00:17:30.640 But I was just going to say that it's going to be interesting to see how they take this.

00:17:40.960 And it won't be easy, though.

00:17:44.660 It won't be easy at all.

00:17:45.800 The good news is people like us, Jim, we have no bosses, right?

00:17:51.600 We don't answer to anybody.

00:17:53.200 Now, I answer to an audience.

00:17:55.080 And Lou's wife who oversees the show, Debbie, who's a great person, she's more conservative than I am.

00:18:00.300 So I have no issues there.

00:18:02.580 And back on The Gateway Pundit, I had no idea what The Gateway Pundit was until I started working for Lou.

00:18:07.260 And one of Lou's demands to everyone who worked on his show team was when you get your morning stories before our editorial meeting, you are to read The Gateway Pundit.

00:18:17.160 So everyone on our staff was mandated to go ahead and read The Gateway Pundit.

00:18:21.540 And I'm like, what the heck are we – you know, what the hell is he making us read here?

00:18:25.180 And, you know, it turned out it's the first thing I open to when I wake up in the morning.

00:18:29.120 The Gateway Pundit and The Daily Mail are two of my favorite things to read because you get honesty.

00:18:33.740 I mean, The Daily Mail has done an absolutely amazing job as well.

00:18:36.860 I have to give them credit.

00:18:38.120 They've turned the corner and, you know, they do a very good job when it comes to news.

00:18:42.840 Gateway Pundit does news and a little bit more editorial, a little bit more politics.

00:18:48.100 The other thing you had mentioned was reaching out to the Trump campaign.

00:18:51.720 What people don't realize, Jim, if you're just a good, honest person, these people are extremely accessible.

00:18:58.380 I can pick up the phone right now and call Margo Martin, Trump's assistant.

00:19:02.000 She answers the phone.

00:19:02.860 She'll text me back right away.

00:19:04.180 I mean, these are the most accessible people.

00:19:05.800 And they don't ask for much.

00:19:07.340 You look at guys like Piers Morgan.

00:19:08.780 I saw him tweet out something the other day.

00:19:10.640 President Trump called him to speak.

00:19:12.540 Piers Morgan is not President Trump's friend.

00:19:14.160 He's a bad person.

00:19:15.540 But it just goes to show you if you, you know, do right and you're – you don't have to be on his side because Piers Morgan's not on his side.

00:19:22.240 If you just report honestly, they give you a fair shot.

00:19:25.900 And that's what these people don't realize, the Caitlyn Collins of the world.

00:19:29.520 That, Jim, they all want to save the day.

00:19:31.080 They want to be saviors and they want to get Trump.

00:19:33.720 I have to break it to them, Jim.

00:19:35.460 Nobody is getting Trump.

00:19:37.560 Fish James couldn't get Trump.

00:19:40.640 What's the whale down in Fulton County?

00:19:43.340 What the hell is her?

00:19:44.480 Fannie Willis couldn't get Trump.

00:19:46.840 Alvin Bragg couldn't get Trump.

00:19:49.160 Jack Smith and $50 million couldn't get Trump.

00:19:52.260 Robert Mueller and $30 million couldn't get Trump.

00:19:55.600 Michael Cohen, his own attorney, couldn't get Trump.

00:19:58.160 These people are not going to save the day, Jim.

00:20:01.260 I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

00:20:04.220 But President Trump is probably one of the most law-abiding citizens out there.

00:20:08.420 When you look at it in the grand scheme of things, over $100 million, Jim, has been spent into getting him.

00:20:15.360 And now we look at the end of the day and there's absolutely nothing.

00:20:19.600 We have to take a quick break.

00:20:20.840 We're going to come back and continue this conversation with Jim Hopp of the great Gateway Pundit.

00:20:24.540 But President Donald Trump's favorability just keeps on soaring, hitting all-time highs as he's set to take the White House in less than two months.

00:20:33.660 Also, interesting story this week, some of President Trump's cabinet members are being attacked by the Marxist left.

00:20:40.600 We're going to take that up with Jim Hopp.

00:20:42.140 We're coming right back.

00:21:47.700 All right, folks, we're back.

00:21:49.120 We're talking with the Gateway Pundits, Jim Hoff.

00:21:51.180 Jim's on the other side of the world for me.

00:21:52.800 We're still broadcasting out of Morocco, Marrakesh, Morocco.

00:21:56.060 And Jim's over in good old America getting ready for Donald Trump to come back to the White House.

00:22:02.320 Jim, the favorability of Donald Trump was pretty high before he won re-election, which probably has something to do with him winning the popular vote and getting the most Republican votes in history.

00:22:14.120 I would probably even argue with you, Jim, he got the most votes in history of the country.

00:22:20.000 And people may ask me, what are you talking about?

00:22:22.220 And I'll just say go back and look at 2020, those $81 million for Joe Biden.

00:22:26.640 And you go back and you look at the trend of Democrat votes over the past few years, and it looks like that, and then 2020 like that, and then back down.

00:22:34.340 So I'll even argue with you that he probably got the most votes in the history of the country.

00:22:40.380 But his favorability, Jim, nonetheless, the latest polling out from the Hill with Emerson College, 54% favorability.

00:22:50.880 That's up from 48% just before the election.

00:22:54.540 I mean, is he doing everything right, or is he doing everything right?

00:22:57.860 Well, how about that?

00:22:58.640 That's amazing, and that's wonderful to see.

00:23:00.960 I, you know, compare that to when he went in the first time and how they were bludgeoning him, and they made up all this Russia crap, and they released this dossier right before he was inaugurated.

00:23:16.120 I went to that inauguration in 2016, and it was violent.

00:23:21.680 The left was out in force.

00:23:23.380 They were all screaming about Trump being a puppet, and then the next day after the inauguration, they had the pussy march, they called it, a million women out there, and it was all just complete delusion, which is really, I think, what people are starting to see is that the arguments of the left are just delusional, and I think enough people woke up to that this year.

00:23:50.140 You know, Trump isn't a threat to women.

00:23:53.080 He's not a threat to abortion.

00:23:55.500 He said, you know, he wants to bring that to the states.

00:23:58.860 He didn't say he wanted to get rid of abortion.

00:24:01.380 Everything they said about this guy has basically been exaggerated or just an outright lie, and I think people are catching on, and you know what's interesting as far as his approval rating?

00:24:13.040 When you see all of these videos, blacks, whites, Chinese, doing the Trump dance, I mean, he's moving into culture now in a way that he hasn't since before he ran for president, right?

00:24:29.380 And he's very cool right now.

00:24:31.680 It's very cool to be a Trumpian, and, you know, thanks a lot.

00:24:35.500 That goes to Elon and Joe Rogan and some other guys, but, yeah, it's just a different feel for Trump right now.

00:24:43.500 I'm going to be going to the inauguration in January, and I just don't think the left has the same oomph behind them.

00:24:51.380 They don't – their lies aren't working as much because people know what Trump's about.

00:24:55.300 They know – I love this.

00:24:56.820 We have a reporter, Kara Castronova.

00:24:58.560 She went to the Bronx this year.

00:25:00.280 She talked to these people.

00:25:01.480 Are they going to vote for Trump?

00:25:02.480 And they said, yeah, I'm going to vote for Trump because I used to have 20 bucks in my pocket when he was president, and I liked having 20 bucks in my pocket.

00:25:11.920 And, you know, doesn't that say everything about who Trump was, what his leadership was, how successful the country was?

00:25:20.900 And so, yeah, I think it's a huge sea change for Trump this year.

00:25:26.460 Yeah.

00:25:26.720 You know, you mentioned 2016.

00:25:28.160 I was there for that inauguration as well.

00:25:29.720 I mean, I watched them light Larry King's limo on fire.

00:25:33.280 I walked right past as they were lighting it on fire.

00:25:35.480 I watched them smash the windows of Bank of America and Starbucks.

00:25:38.720 And, you know, at that time, I was – you know, I was young.

00:25:41.020 I was just out of college.

00:25:42.240 And I was trying to process exactly what was going on because at that point I had been in politics only for a short period of time.

00:25:50.100 And, you know, I got invited to the inauguration by a friend who was working in the campaign.

00:25:53.940 And I couldn't quite fathom what the hell was going on.

00:25:57.920 And then later that night, I was fortunate enough to be invited to go to Trump's – one of Trump's balls that he was holding.

00:26:04.100 And I called my father up.

00:26:05.320 And I was living in Florida at the time.

00:26:06.600 And I said, Dad, you want to go to the ball?

00:26:08.360 And he goes, absolutely.

00:26:09.340 He jumped on a plane from New York.

00:26:10.640 I jumped on a plane from Florida.

00:26:11.660 And we met.

00:26:12.940 And I'll never forget our car getting stopped, our Uber getting stopped in the middle of the road by protesters, right, before getting – I think it was the convention center, the Walter – whatever the hell it was, the D.C. convention center.

00:26:25.260 And these lunatics, Jim, stopping us from going into the sea.

00:26:28.420 And I'm thinking to myself, what the hell is going on?

00:26:32.220 The other thing he had mentioned was the march that the women did after the inauguration.

00:26:36.280 Now we're seeing a new thing.

00:26:37.500 You've got some of these women coming out and saying they will not have sex with men until Trump is out of office. 1.00

00:26:44.240 And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking to myself, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:26:48.200 First of all, you look at some of these women anyway, and it seems the case is probably that they weren't going to have it anyway.

00:26:55.760 But that aside, I mean, how psychologically sick have these people gotten, Jim, that the Whoopi Goldbergs of the world, the Rosie O'Donnells of the world –

00:27:06.780 by the way, Rosie looks sick, like sickly, like there's something wrong with her.

00:27:10.300 The Mark Cubans of the world, another one who looks sickly. 1.00

00:27:13.860 Rachel Maddow, light.

00:27:15.240 I mean, how much further left do you think these people can go?

00:27:18.880 Do you think they've hit the point where they've hit the wall?

00:27:23.560 I think it's very interesting.

00:27:25.020 People like Bill Maher and others who are actually pushing back against the far left, although, you know, to be honest, he was the one who drove them there, right?

00:27:35.400 Yeah, of course.

00:27:35.580 He's the one who led them to this promised land of craziness.

00:27:39.840 Now he's pushing back, and I just think that's really interesting.

00:27:44.660 I think they've really lost it.

00:27:46.060 They've pushed too far.

00:27:47.140 The American public don't want to have anything to do with what they're, you know, they're pushing the trans kids.

00:27:54.020 We have another website, Gateway Hispanic.

00:27:56.820 The Hispanic community has no desire to send their kids to school and have little boys coming back saying they want to be a little girl. 1.00

00:28:05.060 No desire in that community for something like that.

00:28:08.080 And I think that that's something that American people are starting to push back.

00:28:12.680 I've never seen it like this in 20 years that we've been in, you know, reporting.

00:28:18.140 I've never seen this push back against the cancel culture, against the leftist culture who have dominated for decades now, like we're seeing today.

00:28:28.800 People are just sick of it, and they've seen how destructive it is, and they've had enough, I believe.

00:28:34.560 Yeah, you mentioned a bunch of the Hispanic vote, the transgender issue that we've seen.

00:28:39.960 I have a lot of friends, a lot of Spanish friends and Muslim friends and friends of different cultures.

00:28:46.540 And in 2016, when I started supporting Trump, you know, I'd get pushed back, you're a racist, he's a racist, he's a racist.

00:28:53.120 And I can't tell you, Jim, since that time in 2016, how many people have reached out to me, black friends as well, telling me, you know, you were right all along.

00:29:04.680 You were right. And the overwhelming majority of them, I have gay friends who in 2016 didn't want to be friends with me anymore because they all of a sudden thought I was anti-gay.

00:29:14.940 And I'm like, you know, I've been friends with you since we were in high school.

00:29:18.020 I went to college with one of them.

00:29:19.820 And, you know, you don't want to be friends with me anymore.

00:29:21.680 And I said, that's fine.

00:29:22.520 You know, I don't care.

00:29:23.360 There's no love lost.

00:29:24.160 I have no heart to begin with.

00:29:25.740 But, you know, I'm sitting there thinking to myself, like, what's wrong with these people?

00:29:29.120 You know, I used to tell this friend who was gay and I said, I don't care that you're gay. 1.00

00:29:34.080 You know, that's your life.

00:29:34.860 You live it.

00:29:35.440 Just don't push it on me.

00:29:36.940 And that's the mantra I've always lived by.

00:29:38.940 You live your life.

00:29:39.920 I live my life.

00:29:41.080 You know, we co-habitat and that's it.

00:29:43.080 And at the end of the day, it shouldn't come down to people knowing if you're gay or straight because it makes no difference.

00:29:48.340 Right.

00:29:48.720 You still live your life.

00:29:49.820 I still live my life.

00:29:50.620 And that's it.

00:29:51.120 But the way that it's become, Jim, is the Democrats have made it that way.

00:29:55.500 They want to exploit the issue to try to push people who are on the conservative side, the religious side, to come in and say, boom, boom, boom.

00:30:02.760 But it's not like that.

00:30:05.220 You see, you know, churches that are accepting of it now.

00:30:08.680 So in 2016, you saw this massive hysteria that Trump was going to – it was Mike Pence.

00:30:14.120 He was going to electrocute the gays to make sure that you weren't gay anymore. 1.00

00:30:17.580 It turns out Mike Pence – I don't like the guy.

00:30:20.040 Some refer to him as Judas.

00:30:21.100 But it turns out Mike Pence didn't do that.

00:30:22.980 And it turns out Donald Trump didn't really care if you were gay or not.

00:30:26.440 And as a matter of fact, they have something now called the Log Cabin Republicans, who I think Rick Grinnell is very in tune with.

00:30:33.020 And I think we've got now probably more gay supporting Donald Trump than you had in Kamala Harris in this last election.

00:30:40.760 What's your thoughts on that?

00:30:42.180 Yeah, I think it's been a very difficult year for them because they've seen now since the election the number of blacks who voted for Trump,

00:30:48.920 the number of Hispanics that went for Trump, the number of black men that went for Trump.

00:30:55.060 It's hard to call them racist when, you know, you're talking to the black male community.

00:31:00.140 And, of course, I think gays, too, have crossed over.

00:31:02.620 And, you know, another ethnic group, the Jewish population, they went through a huge transition this past year because of the October 7th attacks.

00:31:12.200 And the left leaving them there, abandoning them and immediately siding with Gaza and Hamas after that horrible attack.

00:31:21.900 And so, yeah, I think it's been very difficult for them because they can't play their typical racist, you know, sexist games and putting people in all these different, you know, groups that they like to do.

00:31:37.080 You know, you mentioned the October 7th attack, and I said it on this show to many people, John McLaughlin in particular, who was doing polling on it.

00:31:45.060 If the Jewish vote isn't like 95 percent for Donald Trump, I'm going to be sick to my stomach.

00:31:50.220 And I am sick to my stomach. It makes absolutely no sense.

00:31:52.820 Joe Biden has managed to do to do something, Jim, that I don't think I've ever seen anyone in politics do.

00:31:58.700 He's hated by the Jews and he's hated by the Palestinians.

00:32:02.120 I mean, he put himself on the Palestinian side in the first place, and then he shifted over and he put himself on the Jews side. 0.79

00:32:07.760 And then somewhere along the way, he pissed both of them off.

00:32:11.060 In politics, Jim, it's very, very hard to piss off both sides.

00:32:17.040 Joe Biden has managed to do it to levels I've never seen before.

00:32:21.920 I want to turn to something else that happened this week, and it's the Marxist left getting sicker and sicker by the day.

00:32:32.140 A few members of Trump's transition team and cabinet members that are soon to be confirmed, hopefully, getting swatted over the weekend.

00:32:39.580 Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, who's going to be the ambassador to the U.N., got a call as her and her husband were driving home from Saratoga County, from Washington, that there was a bomb threat at their resident.

00:32:52.940 Congressman Lee Zeldin, another one of Trump's nominees to run the EPA, a pipe bomb sent to his house with some sort of pro-Palestinian-themed message.

00:33:03.640 Lee Zeldin, obviously, a Jewish member, former member of Congress.

00:33:09.400 It seems that these people now, Jim, are hitting a new level of highs, but I don't think it's our same old Marxist left agitators we've seen in the past.

00:33:18.760 I think we're seeing now people who are a little bit more calculated, a little bit who are more professionally trained, I think is probably the right way to say it.

00:33:27.220 What is your thoughts on this?

00:33:28.640 Yeah, that's a scary thought there.

00:33:31.580 I think, you know, when I hear about the swatting, I think they need to make the punishment for that more stringent.

00:33:39.140 These are very dangerous crimes.

00:33:41.800 It happens, it seems to happen more and more all the time.

00:33:46.040 And we're seeing even children doing this, right?

00:33:48.560 We've had, you know, these serial swatters, and you find out it's some crazy kid who's still in high school.

00:33:56.640 Those, those, but the punishment has to be, obviously, they need to spend a little more time in prison than they are right now.

00:34:05.080 Because it's very serious.

00:34:07.020 And I think that's horrible.

00:34:08.200 What's, what's happening to some of these people?

00:34:10.400 They have no pressure on them.

00:34:11.520 They don't need to have this, these, you know, they assume they're fake, you know, swatting.

00:34:18.120 But who knows?

00:34:19.120 The left has become very violent.

00:34:21.360 We've seen Donald Trump survive to it, different attempts on his life that we know of.

00:34:27.180 Maybe there's more.

00:34:28.480 But, you know, I think the left is getting very violent.

00:34:32.320 And there's a lot of people who are very desperate.

00:34:34.360 I think that, you know, the Chinese, the Iranians, and others who are out there, Trump is in a very dangerous spot.

00:34:44.520 Got to protect him.

00:34:46.460 Yeah, yeah, I think you're absolutely right.

00:34:48.080 We're going to take one more quick break here.

00:34:49.480 We're talking with Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit.

00:34:51.500 When we return, I want to take up some foreign policy stuff.

00:34:55.100 Apparently, this week, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, after, you know, a little bit of time, somehow managed to broker a peace deal between Lebanon and Israel.

00:35:05.980 It's so interesting to me, Jim, that after Donald Trump was elected president, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris all of a sudden able to broker some sort of peace deal.

00:35:14.980 I also want to take up President Trump announcing 25 percent tariffs on day one for Canada and Mexico if they don't get their damn act together and close these damn borders from human trafficking and from drug trafficking. 0.86

00:35:29.620 We're coming right back with Jim Hoft of the Gateway Pundit.

00:36:35.820 We'll be right back.

00:36:36.460 Folks, we're back.

00:36:39.400 We're talking with Jim Hopp of The Gateway Pundit.

00:36:41.640 As I said earlier in this program, every morning I wake up, it's the first thing I do before I even have coffee.

00:36:47.640 Thegatewaypundit.com.

00:36:49.200 Thegatewaypundit.com.

00:36:51.320 It's literally laid out for you easier than any news site.

00:36:54.820 You get on nice, beautiful pictures with the lead story.

00:36:57.560 You click on it.

00:36:58.760 Fact-based stuff there.

00:37:01.220 No opinion-based stuff.

00:37:02.300 It's all fact.

00:37:02.800 Jim, I want to talk about somehow now Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are all of a sudden foreign policy experts, peacemakers, brokering peace deals across the way over in Lebanon between Lebanon and Israel.

00:37:18.740 How are they able to get this thing done?

00:37:21.320 Why couldn't Donald Trump get this done?

00:37:23.160 Yeah, it's an amazing story, isn't it?

00:37:26.800 And by the way, Joe Biden, this man of peace, right, who just is sending $24 billion more to Ukraine, and he's on his way out the door.

00:37:35.640 He's allowing them to use U.S. long-distance missiles to fire into Russia at will.

00:37:40.540 Absolute insanity.

00:37:44.020 What's interesting about that story, John, is that the Washington Post has it very clear, it's right in their headline, that Israel is preparing to have this ceasefire with Lebanon.

00:37:55.220 But then you read the paragraph underneath, and it says, an Israeli government minister discussed the proposal with Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

00:38:02.900 So, and Jared Kushner was there, and that was before he traveled to the White House to tell him what's going on.

00:38:11.800 So, of course, this was Donald Trump, another peace agreement by Donald Trump.

00:38:16.520 Talk about the president of peace.

00:38:18.400 Trump has now brokered peace deals around the world.

00:38:22.520 This is one of those things, he never got any credit for that, for the Abrahamic courts he had with Israel and several Arab countries.

00:38:30.360 And now here he is brokering another peace deal.

00:38:35.100 And the Biden administration, Kamala and Joe Biden, both putting out tweets congratulating themselves for this, you know, remarkable deal that they brokered between Israel and Lebanon.

00:38:47.980 So, again, it's just you have to read between the lines to get the full truth there.

00:38:53.820 Kamala Harris put out a video.

00:38:55.460 I'm not going to go ahead and play it for the audience because Kamala is in our rearview mirror. 1.00

00:38:58.960 She makes, she's no entity of anybody.

00:39:01.920 She makes no difference to anybody.

00:39:03.320 So, I'm not going to give her the spotlight and make you people listen to it.

00:39:06.520 But she put out a video after the deal, and she, drunk as a damn skunk, said, Joe, you know, don't let anyone tell you you can't do what you want to do.

00:39:18.040 You're still the president.

00:39:19.620 And I'm sitting there, and I'm watching this video, and I'm going, what the hell is this woman's deal? 1.00

00:39:23.840 She's going to plan to run for president again in 2028 or governor of California. 1.00

00:39:28.120 God help those people.

00:39:30.340 And she's still running them out saying this stupid crap. 1.00

00:39:33.740 Drunk as a skunk, clearly.

00:39:35.380 I mean, clear as daylight.

00:39:37.640 I want to turn to something else.

00:39:40.840 Something else, Trump's team officially signed a transition agreement with Joe Biden, with the White House, to formalize the transfer of power.

00:39:49.000 But it will be privately funded, and they will not use government technology or government buildings.

00:39:53.680 And that's a call on the Trump side.

00:39:55.640 And it makes you wonder if they learned their mistakes from 2016.

00:40:00.960 You remember what they did to Michael Flynn with the lead-up to the election, the wiretapping on President Trump, Trump Tower wiretapped.

00:40:08.300 People told Trump he was crazy when he put out a tweet one day and said, I was wiretapped by the FBI.

00:40:13.400 But I think this is the right move, Jim.

00:40:16.340 I mean, even at the cost on Donald Trump's dime, to ensure his people are safe and nobody's set up.

00:40:22.080 What do you think?

00:40:23.300 I think it's a brilliant move.

00:40:24.660 I think it's very sad.

00:40:25.640 That he has to do this.

00:40:27.320 Who thought we'd be at this place in America today?

00:40:31.300 But, of course, he has to.

00:40:32.560 And, you know, there was another thing.

00:40:34.220 They gave Trump a briefing before he came in last time, and they kept things from him, James Comey.

00:40:42.300 James Comey then came over in January and spoke with Trump before he was inaugurated and talked about this Russia thing.

00:40:49.860 And Trump had no idea what the hell he was talking about because Trump had nothing to do with it.

00:40:53.780 This was all, you know, fabricated by the FBI and Barack Obama and others high up in his administration, paid for by Hillary Clinton, this dossier that came out.

00:41:05.920 So, you know, good for Trump for doing this.

00:41:08.980 But it is a shame.

00:41:10.020 It's a damn shame that that's where this country is today.

00:41:12.360 I do hope that the people that he's put in place are able to do some house cleaning.

00:41:20.080 I'm still we're still waiting to hear who the FBI chief will be.

00:41:25.560 That's going to be very important because we need somebody in there who has the guts to clean it out.

00:41:31.020 That's going to be very difficult.

00:41:32.840 Yeah, there are a few people that have been named in the cabinet that I'm a little bit worried about just based on their past.

00:41:38.420 And I'm going to reserve my judgment like a good American until they're sworn in and they make their first mistake.

00:41:45.420 It's given them the benefit of the doubt.

00:41:46.960 It's the same thing the great Lou Dobbs would want to want me to do.

00:41:49.460 It's the same thing that he would do.

00:41:51.020 So we're of judgment and hope that these people, the two or three of them who are highly questionable, in my opinion, their loyalty to Trump, of course, in the past, because he needs loyalists.

00:42:01.300 You know, there's no other way to put it.

00:42:02.960 Jim, the mainstream media will say, you know, I'm crazy for saying that, but he needs loyalists.

00:42:07.360 He brought in these bureaucrats in the first term and look what happened to him.

00:42:10.980 The John Kellys of the world wrote a book, made a lot of money.

00:42:13.820 The Reince Priebus is of the world who's now come around all of a sudden.

00:42:16.420 He's a Trump guy again.

00:42:17.480 The Mick Mulvaney's of the world.

00:42:19.180 Kelly, if I missed him.

00:42:20.900 The idiots that he had in the Joint Chiefs.

00:42:22.920 I mean, all these people, bureaucrats, and they snaked him at every single turn.

00:42:27.560 They tried to set him up to say things and do things and all this crazy stuff.

00:42:33.000 You had the what's his name?

00:42:34.820 The fellow who was talking with China who, you know, said, don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't. 1.00

00:42:40.240 Millie.

00:42:40.600 Mark Millie, right.

00:42:43.100 Going out there saying things like that.

00:42:44.720 That's treasonous.

00:42:45.640 So I think we're going to see retribution, I hope, because it's well-deserved.

00:42:51.140 And I say this every single day in case the FBI is listening.

00:42:54.380 I don't want them to break the law.

00:42:55.680 I don't want them to recreate the law.

00:42:57.160 I don't want them to create any new laws.

00:42:59.060 I want them to follow the law, Jim.

00:43:00.940 Very simple.

00:43:01.640 These people who went after Trump, highly partisan, highly illegal, witch hunts, selective prosecution, that's all illegal, Jim.

00:43:10.980 I want them to go out and I want them to investigate it.

00:43:13.900 Some of Trump's folks who he's surrounded himself with now, I think, are pulling no punches.

00:43:18.500 One of them, Tom Holman, putting sanctuary cities on notice, requesting, and this is a story from the Gateway Pundit, folks, gatewaypundit.com, thegatewaypundit.com.

00:43:27.360 He requests the DOJ to charge officials with obstruction and harboring for shielding illegal immigrants.

00:43:32.840 You've got guys like big old Jay Pritzker out in Illinois.

00:43:36.520 You've got the, I think it was the mayor of Denver, somewhere out in Colorado, saying he'll protect these illegals.

00:43:42.780 You're not coming to get them from him.

00:43:44.460 I mean, what do you see?

00:43:45.440 How do you see this play out, Jim?

00:43:47.580 I don't think it's going to be easy.

00:43:49.140 It wasn't easy last time.

00:43:50.500 And Trump had to somehow work around it.

00:43:52.700 And he did a remarkable job.

00:43:54.720 By the time he left office, the illegal immigration coming into the country was at all time low for like 30, 40 years.

00:44:03.100 So he'll figure out a way, but I don't think it's going to be easy for him, just like it was last time.

00:44:07.700 But he's much more wise on what he's walking into and what to expect, I believe.

00:44:14.540 Yeah.

00:44:15.040 He's also, I think he's getting ahead of the curve now.

00:44:18.520 And he's putting these countries on notice.

00:44:20.640 He's putting Canada on notice.

00:44:22.520 A little old Justin Trudeau, who's just a little weasel of a man, a sad excuse of a man, I should say.

00:44:28.400 And the newly elected president of Mexico telling them on day one he's putting a 25 percent tariff on all products from Mexico and Canada until the alien invasion stops, until they secure their own borders.

00:44:43.300 They did it the first time, so there's no excuse.

00:44:45.400 Mexico secured their southern border as soon as Trump started threatening AMLO, Emmanuel Lopez Ovidor.

00:44:51.640 And the fentanyl that pours into this country and people are going crazy on Twitter.

00:44:57.160 I probably spend too much time on Twitter, but people saying you're going to start paying four dollars per avocado now because 75 percent of them are brought from Mexico.

00:45:05.880 That's fine.

00:45:06.340 I'd rather not eat avocados, Jim, or I'd rather pay four dollars an avocado than deal with illegals coming into this country in masses like they are. 1.00

00:45:15.100 What are your thoughts on the latest tariff push?

00:45:18.380 I don't think 25 percent is high enough, Jim.

00:45:20.380 You know, I've heard other people say that, too.

00:45:23.220 And but I think it has to be done.

00:45:26.080 It's you know, what's happened the last four years is Joe Biden.

00:45:29.620 It was it was predetermined.

00:45:31.600 They wanted to destroy the country.

00:45:33.020 You can't continue to have this just wide open border and people just walking across in caravans.

00:45:39.200 And then they're given all of these goodies to say spread them across the country.

00:45:43.580 That has to stop.

00:45:45.360 You can't have a country when that's going on.

00:45:48.560 It never, of course, got enough attention in the media.

00:45:51.020 But, you know, we've been following it and others, of course.

00:45:54.580 But, yeah, it has to stop.

00:45:56.760 Trump's Trump's right on.

00:45:58.020 And, you know, I have a friend who's lost two children from fentanyl.

00:46:01.740 And, you know, it's time that we we push back and Trump is the one the one person who can do it.

00:46:09.140 It's amazing, isn't it?

00:46:10.480 I don't know why those things are so hard for everybody else to see, because it's something I think every American wants.

00:46:16.060 And so many Americans today know people like I do who've lost children to this drug drug epidemic.

00:46:23.220 And so Trump's doing the right thing, of course.

00:46:26.060 And, you know, we'll see how it goes for him.

00:46:29.680 You know, I often say on this show, Jim, because I don't think this gets enough enough coverage and you don't hear anybody else talking about it.

00:46:36.740 We've lost more people from drug overdoses, from drugs that have come from Mexico and China, first China through the border of Mexico. 0.79

00:46:44.160 We've lost more people in this country to deaths than we've lost in any war we've fought overseas for the last quarter of a century, from Afghanistan to Iraq.

00:46:54.880 And I'm not, you know, trying to justify those those lives lost overseas at all.

00:46:59.320 But what I am trying to justify is the fact that we've had no problem spending billions of dollars over there and sending our troops over there to go fight other people's wars in the Middle East.

00:47:10.520 Yet we have a wide open border with these Mexicans and Chinese sending these drugs into our country. 1.00

00:47:17.200 These people, in my eyes, Jim, they're killing Americans.

00:47:19.340 They're terrorists.

00:47:20.680 They should be designated as terrorist organizations.

00:47:22.900 And what do you do to terrorists?

00:47:24.040 You kill terrorists.

00:47:24.740 So I don't think Donald Trump and I don't think he will be this time as lackadaisy as he was.

00:47:31.320 Reportedly, he last administration, he wanted to send missiles in and blow up the drug silos and factories in Mexico.

00:47:36.480 I think that's an excellent idea.

00:47:38.880 And I think he should have done it the first time.

00:47:40.920 What's Mexico going to do about it?

00:47:42.280 Are they going to come back to us and try to start a war with us over it?

00:47:45.960 No, you should be happy because we're doing what you can't do because your people are compromised.

00:47:50.360 The presidents of Mexico, their politicians, every single damn one of them, Jim, is compromised.

00:47:56.320 And, I mean, it's understandable because these cartel members go to kill their families.

00:48:01.020 They kill members of their family, their friends, their animals, things like that.

00:48:04.600 So they really have no choice.

00:48:06.240 But if there's a war that should be fought, it should be fought with Mexico because enough is enough, Jim. 0.56

00:48:11.600 What's your thoughts on that proposition?

00:48:15.480 Yeah, I think you're right.

00:48:17.120 I think, you know, this has to stop.

00:48:20.100 And you're absolutely right.

00:48:21.940 This is what they've done to this country.

00:48:23.860 How can these politicians just sit back?

00:48:26.440 Again, why is Trump the only one that sees this?

00:48:29.260 And, you know, just like I brought up earlier, Joe Biden is pushing to get $24 billion to Ukraine before he leaves office.

00:48:36.540 I remember when Trump was in the first time and they want to give him $4 or $5 billion to build a border wall.

00:48:42.620 You know, that was too much for them.

00:48:44.620 That was too much for Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

00:48:47.500 And so, you know, it's going to be interesting to see if they're still going to play these games when Trump is back for his next term.

00:48:55.660 Yeah.

00:48:56.020 And you know what?

00:48:56.700 This is another story, another organization I have to give a shout out to.

00:48:59.980 They're not as good as the Gateway Pundit, but Breitbart.

00:49:03.280 You know, it's a small group of us, Jim.

00:49:04.700 You've got to give credit where it's due that actually reported correctly.

00:49:08.700 Breitbart's got a piece out that construction workers are reportedly upset with Donald Trump for his deportations that are coming because of cheap illegal labor.

00:49:17.800 That's the other thing, folks, you've got to think about.

00:49:20.020 We've got to stop normalizing it because it's cheap labor. 0.99

00:49:22.680 I think over the last few years, people have probably made more money in their lives with companies and things like that, construction companies and blue collars than they've made in their lives.

00:49:32.940 Pay the damn money, pay the extra three or four dollars an hour and hire somebody who's legal.

00:49:38.900 If you stop hiring these illegals to work these cheap labor jobs, you will stop the influx of migration because it's very simple. 1.00

00:49:47.540 These people come here, Jim, and they know there's no jobs for them.

00:49:50.960 They won't come.

00:49:52.000 They'll stay home.

00:49:52.980 They'll stay in their own country. 1.00

00:49:54.260 So it's a multifaceted system, but these construction workers, these construction bosses are part of the problem, too.

00:50:02.680 Restaurant owners as well.

00:50:04.540 You open the back door of any restaurant in New York City, and it's probably 75 percent illegals. 1.00

00:50:10.260 So these people have to start hiring legal workers. 0.98

00:50:14.240 I think that's what it comes down to.

00:50:15.620 Jim, you get the last words here, whatever you want to say.

00:50:18.960 Your message for America, we're just under two months until Donald Trump is back in the White House.

00:50:25.020 Yeah, it's going to be an exciting two months.

00:50:26.920 I expect that there's going to be plenty to report on.

00:50:30.940 I just pray that Donald Trump is safe the next couple of months and that things work out for him and for this country.

00:50:37.800 And I think it's just a godsend that we have Donald Trump again.

00:50:41.520 It really is.

00:50:42.800 And so thank God that here we are today.

00:50:46.680 We're not where we were in 2020 when we were wondering what the heck happened in that election that I still believe is stolen.

00:50:53.780 But we have Donald Trump who's moving into the White House, and it's going to be a great time.

00:50:58.460 Yeah, you're absolutely right.

00:50:59.860 And we're forever in debt to news organizations like the Gateway Pundit for reporting all of that election, those election irregularities we saw in 2020.

00:51:09.100 I think you guys are going to get probably some more credit where it's due.

00:51:12.780 We'll say the next six months to a year or so if what I'm hearing is correct as it pertains to looking back at 2020 and some of the things that went wrong.

00:51:23.660 We'll leave it at that, and we'll leave you guys thinking.

00:51:27.140 Jim Hoff, you're a great American.

00:51:28.580 Thanks for all the great work you do at the Gateway Pundit.

00:51:31.060 Thanks so much.

00:51:32.500 Thanks, everybody, for being with us today.

00:51:34.020 Please be sure to join us back here tomorrow for The Great America Show as our quest for truth, justice, and the American way continues.

00:51:40.760 See you right back here tomorrow, same time, same place.

00:51:43.420 Until then, may God bless you, may God bless America, and may God bless the great Blue Dogs.
