The Great America Show - This is the INVESTIGATION that America has been waiting for!

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

00:00:04.980 It's great to have you with us.

00:00:05.980 Happy Friday.

00:00:06.720 I hope you guys are all ready for the weekend as much as I am.

00:00:10.140 Let's get to some news before we break off into that weekend and have a drink.

00:00:15.320 What do you say?

00:00:16.340 Earlier this afternoon, talks started between foreign ministers from Britain, France, Germany,

00:00:24.060 as well as some other European Union foreign policy chiefs in Geneva.

00:00:28.840 Three-and-a-half-hour talks with Iran.

00:00:30.900 America was not present at the meeting, as Donald Trump has now given Iran two weeks to get their act together,

00:00:38.420 two weeks to come to the table, and two weeks for them to decide to give up their nuclear weapons.

00:00:44.360 Now, it's being reported by Reuters that Iran is possibly open to negotiating some of their uranium enrichment,

00:00:53.440 some that's already been enriched, and some that, I guess, is set to be enriched.

00:00:59.320 They're open to that, but they are saying that they're not open to any talks with America until the bombs from Israel stop.

00:01:07.580 Now, Israel's doubled down and says they have all the capabilities to take out whatever they need to take out. 0.51

00:01:12.900 They don't seem really interested in any talks.

00:01:15.140 So the ball is sort of in Iran's court on what they do if they decide to, you know, go further into this and launch. 0.52

00:01:25.120 If they do have a nuclear weapon, you know, it's long been assumed that they do.

00:01:30.780 We don't know definitively for sure if they do.

00:01:33.040 I'd say it's, in my opinion, 50-50.

00:01:37.400 I'm not of the opinion they have one.

00:01:39.880 Probably very close to it.

00:01:41.440 That's my opinion.

00:01:42.240 Some people say they do have them.

00:01:43.400 Some people say they're not close.

00:01:44.660 It's all over the place on what they really are at.

00:01:47.740 But the ball is now in Iran's court. 0.88

00:01:50.820 Whether they come to the table and make a deal or they continue to get lit up and possibly have their supreme leader assassinated, it's up to them.

00:02:00.160 A former CIA hacker was on with Matt Gaetz over on OAN just the other night.

00:02:06.480 And he says America is open to some vulnerabilities now from Iran. 0.99

00:02:10.720 It may not be an attack, a missile, a nuclear weapon, but a cyber attack.

00:02:17.160 Take a listen.

00:02:18.020 Do you believe right now Iran is in the planning or execution stages of cyber attacks against the United States?

00:02:25.860 Absolutely.

00:02:26.420 I wish this wasn't the truth, but I believe within the next 30 days, you're going to see a massive cyber attack.

00:02:37.100 All of the indications are there.

00:02:39.660 Everyone's ganging up on Iran.

00:02:42.500 You're seeing a lot of tension building.

00:02:44.660 And they cannot compete on the military front.

00:02:48.000 On the physical front, with airplanes, weapons, there's no way they can compete with the United States and Israel. 0.92

00:02:55.940 But on cyber, they are very, very advanced.

00:02:59.260 Remember, Stuxnet attacked their nuclear reactors.

00:03:04.580 Yes, they were a victim.

00:03:06.440 But when you're a victim of a cyber attack, you also get access to all the code.

00:03:10.580 So they actually have all the code that was used to break into their nuclear reactor.

00:03:15.720 They now took that and they can use that against us to break into our nuclear reactors.

00:03:21.980 That's Dr. Eric Cole, former CIA hacker.

00:03:24.220 It's going to be interesting to see.

00:03:25.460 We hope what he says is not true.

00:03:26.920 But anything is possible when you're dealing with the terrorist regime of Iran. 0.79

00:03:30.860 So as I've said, the ball is now in Iran's court. 0.98

00:03:33.480 Do they come to the table and make a deal and have world peace?

00:03:35.740 Or do they continue to get annihilated and leveled?

00:03:38.940 It's up to them.

00:03:40.760 Here at home, it wasn't exactly a quiet Friday.

00:03:43.600 President Trump woke up this morning and decided it's time to take a look at 2020.

00:03:50.020 A lot of us have long, the great Lou Dobbs, our guest today, the great John McLaughlin,

00:03:54.760 who's going to be joining us in just a few moments, one of the nation's leading pollsters,

00:03:59.300 have long tried to figure out what exactly happened in 2020.

00:04:02.660 I think Donald Trump really wants to know what happened in 2020.

00:04:05.780 People's lives were ruined over it.

00:04:08.160 Rudy Giuliani won.

00:04:09.380 Anyone who associated himself with President Trump, anyone who dare spoke out and said the 2020 election

00:04:14.600 was not legitimate, that there were irregularities.

00:04:19.200 They were sued.

00:04:21.140 I was witnesses in two lawsuits from two election companies.

00:04:25.880 The great Lou Dobbs was a victim of it all, all because we wanted answers to questions.

00:04:30.600 And it wasn't crazy questions.

00:04:33.180 It was questions like, why were there thousands of ballots being dumped off in the middle of the night?

00:04:38.540 Why were ballots being transported from New York in the back of a USPS truck to Pennsylvania?

00:04:45.820 Simple, simple questions.

00:04:47.000 But if you asked, if you dare spoke about it, you were sued.

00:04:51.280 You were silenced.

00:04:53.140 Nothing good came out of it.

00:04:54.420 People were fired.

00:04:55.200 The great Lou Dobbs lost his show on Fox Business.

00:04:59.460 It was truly a travesty.

00:05:01.280 So President Trump woke up this morning and put out the following message on Truth Social.

00:05:06.420 Quote, zero border crossings for the month for Trump versus 60,000 for sleepy Joe Biden,

00:05:11.900 a man who lost the 2020 presidential election by a landslide.

00:05:16.140 Biden was grossly incompetent and the 2020 election was total fraud.

00:05:19.840 The evidence is massive and overwhelming.

00:05:22.240 Special prosecutor must be appointed.

00:05:24.100 There's the news, folks.

00:05:26.540 A special prosecutor must be appointed.

00:05:30.980 The evidence was massive and overwhelming.

00:05:33.940 This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America.

00:05:37.200 Let the work begin. 0.97

00:05:38.940 What this crooked man and his corrupt cronies have done to this country in four years 0.99

00:05:41.960 is grossly indescribable. 0.99

00:05:45.680 Make America great again.

00:05:47.400 So now we may finally just get those answers we've been looking for, pending the right people

00:05:54.660 lead this investigation to figure out just exactly what went on.

00:05:59.360 And I've said this every day.

00:06:00.600 It shouldn't just be for Republicans.

00:06:01.920 It should be for Democrats. 0.73

00:06:03.360 No elections should be stolen from anybody.

00:06:06.420 It's un-American. 0.82

00:06:07.340 It's unpatriotic.

00:06:08.140 We are the land of the free because of the brave.

00:06:12.480 We are a country of truth, justice, and an American way of life.

00:06:17.820 This isn't Venezuela.

00:06:18.740 This isn't Colombia.

00:06:19.620 This isn't China. 0.81

00:06:20.340 This isn't Russia. 0.65

00:06:22.060 No.

00:06:22.240 Regardless of what the Democrats tell you, there's no dictators in this country.

00:06:26.520 Donald Trump won three elections, in my opinion, at least.

00:06:29.500 He left after the first one because of the irregularities and what the papers showed.

00:06:35.720 And he's back now.

00:06:36.500 And you know what?

00:06:36.960 He's going to leave in another three and a half years.

00:06:40.040 And regardless of what people are saying, he's not going to run for re-election again.

00:06:43.360 Even if he could, I don't think he would.

00:06:45.600 So he's not a dictator.

00:06:47.260 Don't let the leftists tell you that.

00:06:49.120 I want to get an idea of what's going on in this country.

00:06:51.640 What the polls say, what the pulse is on this country, being that we're now in this war,

00:06:57.040 or at least Israel's in this war with Iran.

00:07:00.420 What the American people think of Donald Trump's job.

00:07:03.420 As I said, our guest today is going to be the great John McLaughlin,

00:07:06.400 leading pollster, founder of McLaughlin and Associates.

00:07:15.320 Joining us now is, as I promised, the great John McLaughlin.

00:07:18.900 John, thank you for taking some time on a summer Friday.

00:07:21.060 You know how hard it is to get people to work on a summer Friday, but you and I always seem to be working.

00:07:26.860 Happy Friday, John.

00:07:28.980 No, thank you, John.

00:07:30.080 It's a pleasure to be here.

00:07:31.480 And we're only enjoying this right now because President Trump won.

00:07:36.120 And, you know, I saw you playing during the last campaign.

00:07:38.920 And, you know, for some reason, God let Donald Trump win and we were along for the ride.

00:07:44.400 So it made his pollster happy.

00:07:46.840 You know, it's funny, Lou, the great Lou Dobbs put out, we wrote a closing remarks on his show one day.

00:07:52.260 It was like everybody, Lou signed off.

00:07:54.740 Everybody have a great weekend.

00:07:56.160 It's only made possible for because of Donald Trump.

00:07:58.800 And, man, did Saturday Night Live, all of them picked it up and said they went crazy with it.

00:08:04.600 Lou Dobbs says that weekends only happen because of Donald Trump.

00:08:07.240 And they're like, here we go, here we go.

00:08:10.480 So you've got your new M&A poll out this month.

00:08:13.440 Let's go through it, break it down a little bit.

00:08:15.720 Let's start with right track, wrong track.

00:08:17.360 Where do Americans say we are right now in the country, John?

00:08:20.840 Just a few weeks ago, months ago, we had the whole Elon Musk thing.

00:08:24.780 And I'm like, all right, let's let this thing blow over a little bit.

00:08:27.960 And then Iran happens. 0.82

00:08:29.000 I'm like, OK, now we've got to let this blow over.

00:08:30.940 But where do Americans think we're at right now with this administration?

00:08:35.520 Well, we had a 40 percent right direction and a 52 wrong track.

00:08:39.340 But that's the direction of the country.

00:08:40.860 Now, consider in December, you know, even after the election through most of last year, while Bush was president, not Bush, sorry, Biden.

00:08:51.900 Same thing.

00:08:53.040 Well, Biden is far worse.

00:08:55.980 Biden was, Bush was a good president.

00:08:59.820 But Biden, we had a 66 wrong track, 24 right direction.

00:09:05.520 So now it's gone from where you had basically a 42 percent net negative direction.

00:09:12.680 It's now 12.

00:09:14.100 So we're moving in the right direction.

00:09:16.100 We're just not there.

00:09:17.120 And so many friends like Mark Mitchell, you ever asked us for reports?

00:09:19.880 He had a, you know, dead even one point.

00:09:22.800 And but since then, you've had, you know, the tensions in the Middle East.

00:09:27.620 You've had Russia and Ukraine continuing their, you know, their war.

00:09:34.860 And you've got the Federal Reserve that refuses to cut interest rates, even though the European central banks have cut interest rates and inflation rates have receded.

00:09:45.100 They're not helping because they want to, you know, I think they're doing it to hurt Donald Trump because they know there's a midterm election.

00:09:52.040 So you've got a lot of the president's enemies and our political opponents who are saying, let's stall them now because we can, you know, hopefully, you know, turn the House Democratic in the midterm of 26.

00:10:07.800 And if they do that, they'll go back to open borders and high inflation and spending and debt.

00:10:17.140 Oh, by the way, you're right.

00:10:19.180 Impeachment, that'll be the first thing they do.

00:10:21.300 We'll be right back there, fake investigations and censorship.

00:10:27.280 And it'll just be, you know, it'll be it'll be a disaster.

00:10:31.520 But that's what we've got to fight against.

00:10:32.840 That's why Donald Trump is working so hard right now on so many problems.

00:10:37.740 Like in that same poll that we have there, Biden has a 35 favorable, 60 unfair.

00:10:43.820 I'm surprised by that eye.

00:10:45.740 He retired.

00:10:47.260 He's left office and his numbers are still, you know, his unfair rules are going up.

00:10:52.920 His fair rules are going down.

00:10:53.960 Even though he has prostate cancer, it's like the mess he left.

00:10:59.360 We're lucky he didn't leave us with World War Three and a depression.

00:11:04.140 I mean, and God bless Donald Trump.

00:11:07.160 He's trying to get us out of all these problems right now.

00:11:09.840 So, so, so it's, it's, we, I mean, the president's agenda and, you know, in the, in the same poll,

00:11:16.520 we've got, when we asked people, are we in a recession, only 38% said yes, 55% said no.

00:11:22.880 That's the best result we've had since before COVID.

00:11:26.340 And now, on the other hand, do they think the economy is going to get worse or better?

00:11:30.540 They said 56% said worse and only 37% better.

00:11:34.140 Why?

00:11:34.840 Because Congress has not passed the, the tax cuts.

00:11:40.180 They've not made the tax cuts permanent.

00:11:42.340 And if we don't have a growing economy and people know that doesn't get done, they know

00:11:48.440 we could slip into a recession again or even worse.

00:11:51.680 So the Democrats, every Democrat in the House and Senate right now has voted against making

00:11:56.940 the Trump tax cuts permanent.

00:11:58.280 Yeah, that means it's voted in favor of a four and a half trillion dollar tax hike where

00:12:03.280 91% of all the, all the taxpayers will pay two to $3,000 more a year.

00:12:08.680 And we can't afford that after four years of Biden inflation.

00:12:12.600 The interesting thing about the word recession, John, I think it needs a new definition.

00:12:16.800 The standard definition is two, two declining quarters of GDP, which we hadn't seen, I think

00:12:21.920 since like just, I think during COVID was, was when we, we saw that the last time that

00:12:27.020 happened and it's like tough because you ask somebody, are, you know, we're in a recession.

00:12:31.100 Well, my indicators are far different than what the definition is.

00:12:34.740 You know, when you go to the grocery store, you see what people are buying.

00:12:37.220 I'll give you an example, John, I have a season Knicks tickets, right?

00:12:40.220 And I can't go to every game.

00:12:42.220 So this past season, I've, you know, I'd put tickets for sale for cost.

00:12:46.160 They could, they would not sell.

00:12:48.140 I mean, it gets excellent teams, John, in the playoffs coming up in the Eastern Conference

00:12:52.460 and they were selling for like face value less than what face value was.

00:12:56.500 You know, so when I see indicators like that, that's where I gauge, you know, I don't think

00:13:00.100 you can necessarily look at two bad quarters of GDP and because there's so many different

00:13:03.660 recessions you can have, you can have a housing recession, you can have a stock market.

00:13:06.700 You know, there's many different facets.

00:13:08.400 You can have a booming stock market and then have a housing collapse.

00:13:10.600 So it's, you know, by the way, if you're unemployed or you can't afford to pay your bills or your

00:13:17.020 mortgage, that's a recession.

00:13:20.680 So, so when we asked the voters last May, this is a year ago, are we in a recession?

00:13:27.120 50% of all voters said we are.

00:13:29.780 The economists didn't.

00:13:31.080 Only 44% said no.

00:13:33.000 Now it's the opposite.

00:13:34.340 It's 55 no and 38% yes.

00:13:37.640 So the perception among voters is their own personal situation, right?

00:13:43.680 So when your food bill has doubled from $200 to $400 a trip to the supermarket, when your

00:13:49.740 utility bills are going up, when your mortgage rates are going up, when your, and your taxes

00:13:55.320 are going up and inflation is still going high, you're in a recession.

00:14:00.160 So technically your point, which is exactly right.

00:14:03.160 These economists were saying, well, if you're not, if it's not two or three months or consecutive

00:14:08.980 months of, uh, you know, negative GDP, I mean, yeah, that's a technical thing, but to the

00:14:16.320 average voter, if, if they can't find work or they can't find a better paying job and

00:14:21.700 they can't pay their bills, that's a recession.

00:14:24.000 So, uh, so I think Donald Trump is, it's, he's making it better, but boy, there's a lot

00:14:30.360 of factors out there.

00:14:32.220 Every Democrat in the house and Senate doesn't want the economy to get better.

00:14:36.120 Of course not.

00:14:36.840 Every, the Jerome Powell, the chairman of the federal reserve does not want the economy to

00:14:42.100 get better.

00:14:43.080 Um, and, uh, the whole liberal establishment, the liberal media, they don't want the, they

00:14:48.180 don't want the, uh, uh, economy to get better because if they do, we'll hold the house.

00:14:53.520 That's what we did in 2002, when we ran the elections, we had a growing economy after 9

00:14:58.600 11, uh, president Bush was, uh, was, was, you know, keeping the country together, united,

00:15:04.880 protecting us from terrorism.

00:15:06.260 And there was real fear of terrorism, but at the same time, underneath it, you had a growing

00:15:10.900 economy because his tax cut went into effect the second quarter of the midterm elections.

00:15:16.880 And we picked up two Senate seats in eight house seats and defied what the usual historic

00:15:22.460 trend where you lose like 25 seats in the house, et cetera.

00:15:25.940 But, uh, that's what Donald Trump is trying to do.

00:15:28.240 He's trying to grow the economy so that we can keep making people's lives better and keep

00:15:32.860 America safe and secure.

00:15:34.700 And the Democrat party and the liberal media establishment in the country oppose that.

00:15:39.600 The thing that scares the heck out of me, and this is not going to fall, it's going to

00:15:42.640 maybe fall on Donald Trump, but it's not his fault because of timing is John, you look

00:15:47.100 at how much debt Americans have right now.

00:15:48.960 You look at how much credit card debt.

00:15:50.180 And I heard Tucker Carlson mentioned the other day, people are financing their groceries because

00:15:55.680 of, and it's not just because of the last five months that Donald Trump's been office.

00:15:59.180 This is something that's, you know, the last four years, the last two years, uh, you know,

00:16:03.680 the price of everything going up.

00:16:05.580 I think it's going to come a time where this thing is going to collapse in the credit industry

00:16:10.740 where people can't afford to pay their credit card bills because the money's not coming

00:16:14.660 in as much as they racked up in debt.

00:16:16.900 And by the way, the way people pay their bills now, because so much is done by, you know,

00:16:22.360 PayPal and credit card and Apple wallet, et cetera, people, they don't carry cash.

00:16:28.000 They don't go to the bank and take out cash.

00:16:29.740 What they do is they take their card out and they charge it or they do Apple wallet or they

00:16:34.040 do their iPhone or whatever.

00:16:35.700 And so at the end of the month, when the credit card comes due, what used to be 200, $300 a

00:16:41.040 month is now double that.

00:16:42.920 Yeah.

00:16:43.860 And there, there, you could have that kind of problem.

00:16:46.820 And then think of that.

00:16:48.080 So if you're a person who paid your bills and whether you went to college, especially if

00:16:52.660 you didn't go to college, but if you, you went to college and you paid your student loans,

00:16:56.540 the Biden administration had over a trillion dollars of unpaid student loans that they put

00:17:02.580 on hold for five years that they asked every other taxpayer to pay the bill of that debt.

00:17:08.460 And now Donald Trump's in there.

00:17:11.260 And one of the big things that he and Linda McMahon have done with the Department of Education,

00:17:16.760 Portland education is not built to collect student loans because they weren't, but they

00:17:23.580 moved it to the chamber, to the Commerce Department.

00:17:27.300 It's only like a 1200 person agency, right?

00:17:30.540 Which one?

00:17:31.760 Department of Education.

00:17:32.600 Oh, no.

00:17:34.180 That was a very small, the top echelons of it.

00:17:37.200 It was like 200, they spent over 250 billion a year.

00:17:41.540 It's like, it's just, and your reading scores and math scores for American students have never

00:17:47.980 gone up since it's been created.

00:17:49.580 It's like, they've spent trillions of dollars, you know, and it's just a place where Randy

00:17:56.500 Weingarten and the teachers unions can put in people that have, you know, have a greater

00:18:03.120 priority of building their labor union strength and supporting the Democrat Party than they

00:18:08.520 do about educating our children.

00:18:11.140 They get sure that we're the best in the world in math and science and reading.

00:18:15.460 Yeah.

00:18:15.860 Good luck.

00:18:16.540 Yeah, right now, those rankings, but that's a big change.

00:18:21.160 So Linda and President, Linda McMahon and President Trump are trying to make sure that if the 0.91

00:18:26.880 federal government's involved, you know, they're going to help the states educate our children.

00:18:32.620 Yeah.

00:18:33.120 The number was, I just pulled it up here, 4,400 employees.

00:18:36.240 I think it's 1,200 that are left after Trump did his hire, which is still too much in my opinion.

00:18:41.300 Who's counting?

00:18:41.840 This is according to the U.S. Department of Education.

00:18:46.780 Yeah.

00:18:47.740 Who knows?

00:18:48.440 Nothing coming out of the government that we're really supposed to believe, right?

00:18:52.060 So, you know, you brought something up interesting that I had written down here that I meant to

00:18:56.520 get to.

00:18:57.540 Biden's approval was at 30, what was it?

00:18:59.580 33, 38 percent.

00:19:01.420 35 percent.

00:19:02.900 And you had mentioned with the cancer diagnosis not going up.

00:19:05.500 To me, that tells me, John, is that people are not having buyer's remorse with Donald Trump.

00:19:10.460 No.

00:19:11.300 No, they're not.

00:19:12.240 And in fact, his base is rock solid.

00:19:14.300 I mean, he's got a 51 approval.

00:19:16.780 And among Republicans, it's 91 to 7.

00:19:20.060 This was taken as of, we were out of the field on May 15th.

00:19:24.140 So, I mean, not May 15th, June 15th.

00:19:26.920 The month's catching up to me.

00:19:28.420 But it's like the war was, you know, Israel had gone back to the rain by then.

00:19:35.260 And, you know, they've got all these problems.

00:19:37.460 And Republicans love Donald Trump, 91 to 7.

00:19:40.300 If you voted for Donald Trump in the last election, last November, 93 to 4, they approve

00:19:46.320 of the job he's doing.

00:19:47.920 Even 13 percent of the Harris voters approve of the job that Trump's doing and 15 percent

00:19:52.880 of the Democrats.

00:19:53.900 Wow.

00:19:54.020 So, yeah, you got in 46 percent of Hispanics.

00:19:56.980 That's the number of Hispanics voted for him.

00:19:59.400 And, you know, you've so you've got he's got a rock solid base and he hasn't betrayed them.

00:20:06.280 He's he's.

00:20:07.320 And you know, it was great.

00:20:08.260 We had this question in here.

00:20:09.520 You love this question.

00:20:10.980 While I may not agree with everything that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement says he stands

00:20:16.720 for, I think they are right about putting America and the American people first.

00:20:21.280 63 percent of all voters, all voters agree with that.

00:20:25.920 Only 30 percent disagreed.

00:20:27.880 If you voted if you voted for Harris, 33 percent agreed with that.

00:20:34.240 And Trump is 93 to 4, which is his job.

00:20:37.560 What's wrong with these people, John?

00:20:39.720 They you know, it's like we're not also in the same poll.

00:20:43.740 And I'm going to do more of analysis about this.

00:20:45.760 If you listen to conservative media outlets or, you know, versus the liberal ones, say,

00:20:54.260 if you listen to Newsmax, Fox News, OAN, if you listen to if you watch your podcast and

00:21:00.520 your your your shows, et cetera.

00:21:03.720 If you get in conservative talk radio, if you're in our right of center echo chamber, which is

00:21:08.800 about a third of the electorate or maybe more, everything's great.

00:21:12.880 You're hearing all the facts.

00:21:14.000 You're getting all the issues.

00:21:15.600 If you're in the left of center, like three in 10 where MSNBC and CNN and PBS and NBR.

00:21:25.240 If you're in that echo chamber, none of this is true.

00:21:29.060 There was never an open border, you know, just separating families.

00:21:33.780 They're really, you know, Los Angeles.

00:21:36.720 They had no riots.

00:21:37.820 There was no, you know, there was no violence.

00:21:41.480 I mean, if if you're in their echo chamber, you're like in denial and it's a world where

00:21:48.040 censorship works.

00:21:55.040 You know, the crazy thing you just brought up and it just came to my mind, because I

00:21:58.480 do know a few Marxist Dems myself and they don't like me.

00:22:02.720 I mean, they were there were friends at one point, but they don't like me now.

00:22:05.400 But I don't care.

00:22:06.900 You know, I like no love lost. 0.99

00:22:09.120 You know, if that's how pathetic you are and that's that's the general sentiment of the 0.99

00:22:14.360 left. 0.99

00:22:14.680 I had a friend whose family member passed away, John, and they were far leftists and they

00:22:20.280 had family members who are on the right and they told the family members, don't even worry

00:22:23.980 about coming to the funeral.

00:22:25.000 And you're like, why?

00:22:26.420 Because of political differences, it's a sickness in these people's heads.

00:22:29.800 But you brought up, you know, the CNNs and the MSNBCs of the world.

00:22:33.260 I don't even think these people who are far, far, far leftists get their news from there.

00:22:37.800 It's a lot of people going on Facebook through these brainwashing pages.

00:22:41.060 They get their news through memes, John.

00:22:43.260 They get it from one of the is on Facebook, defend democracy or something like that.

00:22:48.300 These people don't get news from legitimate news sources.

00:22:51.420 I don't watch television personally.

00:22:54.040 I watch sports.

00:22:55.180 I read every single morning, John, and I read for three hours before I go to bed every night

00:22:59.800 and figure out what I'm talking about the next day.

00:23:01.720 Yeah.

00:23:01.880 By the way, if you go to our website, mclaughlinonline.com, you will find the poll results I'm talking

00:23:07.320 about.

00:23:08.200 And we had the right of center cluster was 39 percent.

00:23:11.880 The left of center was 37.

00:23:14.020 There was a 4 percent out of the 28 percent.

00:23:16.260 Don't watch any of it.

00:23:17.840 They leave me alone.

00:23:18.940 Leave politics out of it.

00:23:19.840 But the interesting part is, you know, among the Trump voters, 52 percent, you know, pardon

00:23:27.560 me, 61 percent are in that right of center cluster.

00:23:31.840 But the ones who don't watch the news, it was it was up in the the the Harris voters, but

00:23:40.040 40 percent, 42 percent among independents don't watch any news.

00:23:44.060 Don't get that.

00:23:44.700 But then we have on the next page, 65 percent of likely voters regularly use Facebooks, 56,

00:23:52.580 YouTube, Instagram, 38, TikTok, 30, Pinterest, 20.

00:23:56.880 And you can see people that go into their own echo chambers.

00:24:00.760 To your point, your friends and family, that's the most important endorsement you can have.

00:24:04.760 So. So. So, you know, your friends that listen to you and watch you and respect your views.

00:24:12.640 That's the most important endorsement.

00:24:14.800 When Elon Musk on X decided that, oh, right, him, they were going to not censor, right, not censor people.

00:24:26.140 Then all of a sudden, you know, there was more freedom and there was more of a legitimate debate.

00:24:32.900 And that's really important as far as, you know, getting your ideas out, because Donald Trump during the campaign, you know, we'd get bad coverage.

00:24:45.060 Brent Bozell, the media researcher, would come out and say, ever since they picked Kamala Harris, you know, Trump got 89 percent or 92 percent negative coverage.

00:24:54.120 But Kamala Harris got like over 80, over 90 percent positive coverage.

00:24:59.000 But people, those are the mainstream broadcast networks, the legacy media, these cable channels.

00:25:05.000 And and basically people weren't going to them anymore for information.

00:25:10.120 They lost their credibility. And people were looking to their friends.

00:25:14.000 And Donald Trump on social media, you know, although his truth brand, you know, they don't have bots, et cetera.

00:25:20.880 Yeah. Yeah. If you want to know what Donald Trump is thinking or going to do or whatever, you go to truth and you look at it and it's right there.

00:25:29.060 And and on the other hand, Trump supporters are on the Internet using social media where we basically communicate with our friends and family.

00:25:39.700 Like we spent in the primary Nikki Haley had in South Carolina.

00:25:43.760 She spent like 18 million dollars on TV.

00:25:46.120 We spent a million.

00:25:47.800 And we were going in. We won her home state.

00:25:51.460 We won it by 20 points.

00:25:52.600 It was a decisive win.

00:25:53.780 Big, you know, really just turned her away.

00:25:56.300 I mean, Donald Trump, we beat her double digits in New Hampshire.

00:25:59.560 We beat her, destroyed her in Iowa. 1.00

00:26:02.520 But we were getting to our messages out on the Internet.

00:26:07.040 We were getting our messages out on social media from friends to family.

00:26:11.320 And we would go do a rally.

00:26:13.040 And I said I tell Susie, I said, well, what?

00:26:15.300 Well, if she's outspending us, how's all the money? 0.77

00:26:17.400 I was like, just deploy the Kraken, send the Kraken down to have a rally and, you know, just send them to have a rally.

00:26:25.320 And all of a sudden, all these people will show up.

00:26:27.940 They'll invite all their friends and family.

00:26:29.740 They'll send videos to their friends and family of Donald Trump and pictures.

00:26:33.980 And it was, you know, basically, if you didn't cover Donald Trump and you didn't give him fair coverage, people are shutting you down.

00:26:45.040 And that's why these media outlets and these news departments are going out of business.

00:26:48.700 Yeah.

00:26:49.060 And further proof to what you've said, John, in 20.

00:26:52.360 It was funny because I was talking with Roger Stone about this the other day.

00:26:55.040 We were on the phone talking about this.

00:26:57.420 I do a little political consulting where, you know, I talk to people who are running for office and they always I want to get on TV.

00:27:03.600 I want to get on your party.

00:27:04.480 I wanted this.

00:27:05.000 And I'm like, you're wasting your time.

00:27:07.500 It's not going to do you any good.

00:27:09.040 I'm not going to get you any votes.

00:27:10.280 Yeah, you'll get your you know, your your your little fame minutes of fame, but it's not going to do you any good to get out there.

00:27:15.220 And that's what Donald Trump did in 2016.

00:27:17.900 And so what I was telling Roger, it's about grassroots.

00:27:20.700 It's about people seeing you out there.

00:27:22.420 You saw how many people Donald in 2016.

00:27:24.700 Everyone thought Donald the media thought he was a joke, that he wasn't really running.

00:27:27.600 It was all just a joke.

00:27:28.840 But it wasn't a joke to Donald Trump because he was in New Hampshire every week.

00:27:31.680 He was in South Carolina every week.

00:27:33.280 And just doing rallies and rallies.

00:27:35.120 That's grassroots.

00:27:36.480 And he loves people.

00:27:37.600 He loves people.

00:27:39.580 You've seen it.

00:27:40.460 We've been to rallies together.

00:27:42.200 Yeah.

00:27:42.420 You see, you just feel the and and he loves people.

00:27:47.300 He thrives on it.

00:27:48.320 And and he's in great shape.

00:27:50.640 He's phenomenal.

00:27:51.400 He gets up there.

00:27:52.280 I'll go on for hours and you'll be like, we're going to miss the plane.

00:27:56.700 It's like he doesn't care.

00:27:58.660 You know, I saw somebody post something on Twitter the other day.

00:28:01.220 It was the construction workers.

00:28:02.820 And he was taking pictures of all every single time I've been in a room with Donald Trump.

00:28:07.780 Before you leave the room, Donald Trump says to everybody in the room,

00:28:11.240 you guys want pictures before you go.

00:28:12.980 I've never been with him one time, John, in a room with two people, three people, five people, ten people.

00:28:17.480 Last time we were down in Mar-a-Lago, the whole camera crew, everybody signed, whatever.

00:28:21.860 He is the most accommodating person, that powerful person I've ever seen.

00:28:27.560 Someone could pick up the phone and text him.

00:28:29.880 He called Gavin Newsom.

00:28:30.960 I don't know if you saw it two or three weeks ago.

00:28:32.560 He said, you know, Newsom said he never called me.

00:28:35.220 Trump took a screenshot on his iPhone.

00:28:37.120 Gavin Newsom, a 15 minute phone call.

00:28:39.560 You've never seen this, John.

00:28:41.460 You've been doing this.

00:28:42.920 I won't age you.

00:28:43.840 But far longer than me, I've never seen somebody so easily accessible as Donald Trump to the media.

00:28:51.280 But he's real.

00:28:52.500 And remember, he had the highest rated reality TV program on NBC.

00:28:58.440 And he understands it.

00:29:00.380 But you know what's different?

00:29:01.600 This is how smart he is.

00:29:02.760 Every one of those people that you were with, that took that picture, what did they do with it?

00:29:08.620 They put it on Facebook.

00:29:10.980 They put it out on X.

00:29:11.880 They put it out on True Social.

00:29:14.060 And they sent it to all their friends and family.

00:29:18.560 And then they post it, you know, on their own, on their own pages there.

00:29:24.400 So he just got a whole bunch of free advertising.

00:29:28.880 So he's and, you know, so he he's he's very I mean, he he's really he's he's a genius in that.

00:29:37.980 But, you know, I mean, I'm good at polling and good at math.

00:29:43.280 And, yeah, I got I got all the credentials that say that, you know, I actually have a card that it says I'm a genius.

00:29:50.680 I mean, that Mensa group or whatever.

00:29:53.000 But but it's beautiful.

00:29:54.540 But he's he's got this he's got this high IQ for for public relations.

00:29:59.580 The guy is an unbelievable public relations genius.

00:30:02.640 And he's he's historic the way he's won elections has never been anybody like him in the United States and there will be again.

00:30:10.380 And he's going to go down as one of our greatest presidents.

00:30:13.740 And he's changing things right now for the better.

00:30:16.880 And that's, you know, that's what Donald Trump's all about.

00:30:20.640 So speaking of changing things for the better, better, I want to talk about before we wrap his new tweet that I mentioned earlier that he wants the 2020 election looked at, John.

00:30:32.200 It ruined the lives of so many people.

00:30:34.160 You look at what they did to Lou Dobbs because of it.

00:30:36.420 You look at what they did to Rudy Giuliani and all the people who just came out and simply said there was something wrong.

00:30:42.340 Got the pantsuit off the Mike Lindell two weeks ago, two and a half million dollars to some guy that nobody's ever heard of for defamation.

00:30:49.840 Defamation used to be you paid the price of what kind of damage it did to you.

00:30:53.260 Now it's just whatever a judge feels like slapping you on the hand with.

00:30:57.660 And it just ruined people's lives.

00:30:59.740 And a lot of us, John, speaking for myself at least, wanted to see what exactly went on.

00:31:06.580 What happened?

00:31:07.600 Why were paper ballots being shipped in in the middle of the night?

00:31:10.660 Why was ballots going from Bethpage, New York to Pennsylvania?

00:31:14.520 You know, why were things like this happening?

00:31:17.480 And I think it's going to vindicate a lot of people.

00:31:20.740 And by the way, the major word is corruption.

00:31:23.200 And what Donald Trump stands for is the working men of America against these, you know, entitled elite globalists.

00:31:32.620 And they have the money.

00:31:34.360 And you get these guys like who's the guy?

00:31:36.140 The guy founder of LinkedIn, Reed or whatever.

00:31:39.440 Oh, Reed Hoffman.

00:31:40.680 Right.

00:31:41.060 He's funding all these legal.

00:31:42.720 He funded the legal cases against Donald Trump.

00:31:48.040 They used they used the system of justice.

00:31:50.200 They corrupted it to go after honest people just because they were Trump supporters.

00:31:55.920 And, you know, yep, they stuffed the ballot box.

00:31:58.360 There's those I worked with the late speaker in Georgia in 2021.

00:32:03.060 One, 2021, we fixed the Georgia election law that you need voter ID for absentee ballots, early in-person voting.

00:32:12.180 No drop boxes where they're not in the government building that can be watched.

00:32:17.400 And even on election day, you need voter ID.

00:32:20.340 And, you know, we won Georgia.

00:32:23.120 Governor Kemp won Georgia.

00:32:24.620 But 2020, there were people we had video of people going up 30, 40, 50 ballots.

00:32:29.440 They were ballot harvesting.

00:32:31.020 God knows if those people existed or not.

00:32:33.060 Then you talked about the truck from Beth Page with the ballot.

00:32:36.540 That printing place burnt down.

00:32:39.780 No.

00:32:40.840 Oh, yes.

00:32:41.620 Was Hillary Clinton in the vicinity by any chance?

00:32:44.060 It burnt down, like right after it.

00:32:46.260 The guys printed those ballots.

00:32:49.000 So it's like, but the corruption of the election was real.

00:32:53.900 And it was, and you have to look at it and you have to, we have to get this out of the system.

00:33:00.520 We'll be a one-party system like communist China or like these other countries. 0.96

00:33:06.160 They're doing it in Europe right now.

00:33:07.480 They tried to rig the Polish elections.

00:33:10.120 They're going after Viktor Orban in Hungary, who's one of my clients, because he's Trump's strongest supporter.

00:33:15.700 So they're trying everything they can do to basically rig the system so that Donald Trump is just a passing aberration.

00:33:27.380 And, you know, they'll, you know, if they take the Congress again, they'll impeach him, they'll tie him down, and they'll rig the system where illegal immigrants will be voting all over the United States, will have open borders again. 0.79

00:33:41.020 And, you know, there's people that would surrender their freedoms and surrender their democracy just because, okay, we'll just want to get along.

00:34:02.540 And that's wrong.

00:34:03.080 We have to make sure we win.

00:34:05.280 We have to make sure that the America we have, people can be entitled to disagree with us, to have different opinions.

00:34:13.260 That's what makes America great.

00:34:14.900 That's what's guaranteed under our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

00:34:18.560 But right now, that election win was existential and for the United States, for our democracy and for our freedoms.

00:34:27.980 And we've got to make sure that we win these midterm elections so they can't roll that back.

00:34:33.100 Yeah, Congress, Mike Johnson's got to get his head out of the dirt and get to work and finish passing this big, beautiful bill and everything else before, you know, November, December of next year to give the Republicans a year to campaign on these great accomplishments.

00:34:48.820 You can't push this thing through with six months to go to the midterm election when half the people are already made up their mind.

00:34:55.480 We're going to do it in July.

00:34:56.480 If President Trump wants that bill passed in July, it's going to get passed in July.

00:35:00.400 Yeah, the people got to come together.

00:35:01.900 In fact, he's such a patriot, he wants to sign it on July 4th.

00:35:06.200 Give everybody a tax cut.

00:35:07.840 No tax on tips.

00:35:09.180 No tax on overtime.

00:35:10.440 Make the tax cuts permanent.

00:35:11.900 Stop the Democrats from raising taxes.

00:35:14.880 And I think that'll be a historic moment that gives us a fighting chance that we can succeed next year.

00:35:23.080 And then we just got to make sure our own people.

00:35:26.700 I know.

00:35:27.960 Right.

00:35:28.500 We have no margin of error.

00:35:30.420 And then I think in a subsequent bill, John, the no tax on Social Security will will come shortly thereafter or something like that.

00:35:37.420 And then hopefully they can hold off until after the midterms to talk about what's that word?

00:35:43.220 It starts with the knee entitlements.

00:35:45.540 I actually, by the way, you know, the media calls it cuts.

00:35:49.460 But in the reconciliation, the cuts are, if you're an able-bodied adult, particularly a male, who's getting free health care, you need to go look for work.

00:36:02.100 So you have to have work fare to get Medicaid.

00:36:04.780 If you're an illegal immigrant, you're not going to get Medicaid anymore.

00:36:08.700 Why are we paying for health care for illegal immigrants when people are dying in America and can't get their own health care bills paid? 0.57

00:36:18.100 It's just those are the cuts.

00:36:20.520 So if you want to cut Medicaid, those are the cuts that we're in favor of.

00:36:24.460 And that'll give us some breathing room that we can have more tax cuts for our people. 0.99

00:36:28.240 It makes you wonder who these people are, who they work for, really, that would ever agree to something like that in the first place.

00:36:34.640 John, it's Friday.

00:36:36.660 You've got to go have yourself a drink because you've had a long week.

00:36:40.120 You get the last word here.

00:36:41.220 We're not in all trouble.

00:36:42.380 We have a very sober existence.

00:36:45.440 God bless you.

00:36:46.760 I don't know how you're doing in this business.

00:36:50.760 That poll, folks, that John and I spoke about, McLaughlinOnline.com, McLaughlinOnline.com.

00:36:56.320 John, you get the last word here.

00:36:58.680 Well, let's just enjoy our freedoms, enjoy our success.

00:37:02.620 But keep fighting and praying that America stays safe and secure and we remain prosperous.

00:37:08.440 So as we're preparing for the 250th anniversary of the country, let's keep it going.
