The Great America Show - Trump DEPORTS 2 more RINOS From Congress as BBB is in SERIOUS Trouble!

00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us happy monday

00:00:06.880 everybody seems every monday we stop by here we do the show and something crazy happens at least

00:00:13.880 over the weekend or uh on monday morning something insanely crazy happens and that's exactly what

00:00:20.460 happened uh over this weekend uh just as we got on just now live on tonight's show um something

00:00:26.620 a little unrelated to to politics uh for any of you have been following that case out in idaho i've

00:00:31.820 been following it closely since it originally happened brian kohlberger who was the man accused

00:00:36.240 of killing uh murdering those four college girls with a knife in uh in idaho just accepted a plea

00:00:42.740 deal where he's going to plead guilty to evade getting uh the death penalty that's just happening

00:00:49.060 just moments ago uh so i felt the need to bring that to you if any of you have been following that

00:00:53.280 case like i said i've been following it uh from the inception point so it's great to see

00:00:58.380 that those families can have some closure there those four beautiful women who were brutally murdered

00:01:04.080 by that horrific horrific person so uh you're wondering what happened over the weekend i'm sure

00:01:08.980 some of you guys were paying attention and some of you guys took the weekend off uh we like like we

00:01:14.700 like to do on the weekends but uh under the trump administration it's very hard to take a weekend

00:01:19.400 off as news is always happening over the weekend it was a rhino revolt tom tillis the name you guys

00:01:26.480 all know well very recently singing the nomination of ed martin who was running for dc u.s attorney

00:01:32.240 or appointed i should say by donald trump for dc u.s attorney over the weekend tillis decided within

00:01:39.160 moments of each other that he was not going to seek re-election in 2026 and shortly thereafter

00:01:45.940 he decided he doesn't support the big beautiful bill anymore take a listen to some of his meltdown

00:01:52.140 on the house floor i promise it's going to be short on health care and betraying a promise

00:01:57.500 it is inescapable that this bill in its current form will betray the very promise that donald j trump

00:02:06.760 made in the oval office or in the cabinet room when i was there with finance where he said

00:02:12.740 we can go after waste fraud and abuse on any programs now those amateurs that are advising him

00:02:21.860 not dr oz i'm talking about white house health care experts refuse to tell him that those instructions

00:02:29.820 that were to eliminate waste fraud and abuse all of a sudden eliminates a government program that's

00:02:38.200 called the provider tax we have morphed a legal construct that admittedly has been abused and

00:02:45.680 should be eliminated and to waste fraud and abuse so tom tillis now it's a man who's taken millions

00:02:53.200 and tens of millions of dollars throughout the course of his political career from big health care

00:02:57.520 from big pharma from all these companies that this big beautiful bill targets and i you hear me say it

00:03:02.880 every day on the show is it a perfect bill absolutely not by no stretch of the imagination we all want more

00:03:07.800 cuts in this bill but there's so much at stake without passing this bill so just going back to

00:03:12.980 tom tillis for just a second you had heard me mention ed martin who was uh going to be the dc u.s

00:03:18.840 attorney until tom tillis decided he wasn't going to support him because ed martin supported january

00:03:24.140 sixers so on and so forth ed martin was on a podcast just a few weeks ago our good friends over at

00:03:30.940 right bar alex marlowe and laid out just how corrupt i think tom tillis is and how nervous he

00:03:38.440 got when president trump because you heard tom tillis talking about waste fraud and abuse and

00:03:42.880 getting to the bottom of it but ed martin paints a picture of just how scared tom tillis got when

00:03:49.540 they were all in this meeting together talking about how they were getting ready to get to work

00:03:53.360 take a listen because i think it it paints the picture just of who tom tillis is here's ed martin

00:03:58.200 when donald trump was elected his first day he had a an executive order saying get weaponization

00:04:03.880 out of government when attorney general bondi was uh confirmed she put a memorandum out on day one

00:04:09.020 saying i'm starting a weaponization working group i want you to look at fanny willis and jack smith and

00:04:14.580 alvin bragg i want you to look at targeting school board parents uh catholics i want you to look at the

00:04:19.980 whistleblowers who were targeted long list actually about eight categories and then beyond that we

00:04:25.260 started meeting right away i was a member of it and beyond that actually was other aspects of things

00:04:29.940 like i've worked with bobby kennedy on covid did they weaponize how did they weaponize the the covid

00:04:35.220 stuff against the citizens and and so there's categories all across government getting to the

00:04:40.660 bottom of and three steps alex one is tell the truth we deserve the truth we need to know what

00:04:46.880 happened who did it and why if you have to name and shame we're going to name and shame some of these

00:04:53.200 people don't have shame but we're going to name and shame number two is where possible hold them

00:04:57.740 accountable criminally if they lose their jobs you know take away their uh the the grants to their

00:05:04.060 universities whatever it is make sure that we have accountability so tell the truth hold them

00:05:08.900 accountable and the third thing alex which this did um this made uh tell us a little nervous he's

00:05:13.720 like you're for reparations i said i'm not for reparations i am for restitution if you put somebody

00:05:19.020 in jail for years you should have to and you lied about it you should have to pay for it right if you

00:05:23.860 if you put somebody through the ringer in a way that is unfair and it's deemed unfair by telling the

00:05:29.160 truth holding them accountable you should fix it right this is america you you it shouldn't be

00:05:33.600 strock and page got a sweetheart deal to get paid because their texts were shown you know that

00:05:38.640 happened i got a million dollars because the biden administration americ garland paid them off you

00:05:43.060 know this is the ultimate payoff for inside the mob well no we're talking about people that are truly

00:05:47.480 damaged if you're damaged you should be made whole that's what's at stake with weaponization and we're

00:05:52.280 going to drive all the way down to the bottom of these things we're not going to give up we're not

00:05:57.860 going to hear statute of limitation is run i don't give a darn we're going to still we're going

00:06:02.660 to name and shame we're going to hold you accountable and then we're going to say you know

00:06:05.880 what you got put in jail some of these people rotted in jail for three years on january 6th on a lie

00:06:11.820 that merrick garland and lisa monaco made up andrew weissman created it and tried to use it in the

00:06:17.420 muller and then and then they use it called the 1512 charge it was done incorrectly and a bipartisan

00:06:23.160 supreme court threw it out you know kodaji jackson said yeah you got to throw that out well those

00:06:28.000 people that were in jail as soon as they got that done they walked because they were on misdemeanors

00:06:32.320 only that that's so wrong and un-american we've got to get to the bottom of it and make people whole 0.79

00:06:37.320 and we're going to do it so when you hear a man talking like that you think of how much conviction

00:06:42.640 he has and it's a shame that ed martin is not sitting there in the dc u.s attorney's office

00:06:47.420 right now but he's in a place where he's still making impactful decisions trust me on that you've

00:06:53.920 got judge janine piero up in there for his all job but when you hear a man talking like that and then

00:06:59.580 you look at a man like tom tillis who's got no conviction whatsoever a man who's taken tens of

00:07:04.340 millions of dollars and on a show i'm those who join us each and every night just a few weeks ago

00:07:09.740 i broke down how much money he takes and where he gets it from and you guys can go all see that for

00:07:14.120 yourself on opensecrets.org i believe it's opensecrets.org you can see where all your members

00:07:18.980 of congress your senators and so on and so forth are getting their money what the big ag or whatever is

00:07:25.280 is taking uh giving them money so you can tell and you know sort of connect the dots on where these

00:07:31.220 people are and why they're voting the way they are on certain things and why they're not voting

00:07:35.320 the way they are uh on other things but that's just the way it is so you've got this rhino uh

00:07:41.700 tillis but he's not the only one you've got don bacon it's a man i'm sure you uh and and i see that

00:07:47.840 the chats lighten up the comments are lighten up over on facebook and youtube uh about don bacon he as

00:07:53.400 well decided that he's not going to run for re-election in in 2026 and just moments later

00:08:00.800 guess what he said he said that he doesn't support the big beautiful bill anymore

00:08:06.720 it's it to me it's insane that you you have these people who just have no integrity

00:08:12.800 no intestinal fortitude at least be a man if you're going to be against it be a man run again 0.92

00:08:19.100 run on your record but these guys are like little mice they hit they run they bite and then they run

00:08:24.640 away and that's exactly what bacon who's been a rhino for a long time tillis another one has been

00:08:29.440 a rhino for a long time i think donald trump has given him a lot more leeway than he should have ever

00:08:33.580 given him uh but that's just who these people are so those of you saying the big beautiful bill and

00:08:39.780 like i said keep repeating myself it's not perfect it's not beautiful as it should be but what happens

00:08:46.580 without the big beautiful bill president trump was on with maria bartoromo yesterday morning 0.99

00:08:52.280 take a listen to just a short clip on what happens to our taxes it's very important if we don't have

00:09:00.020 it there's a 68 percent tax increase if we don't have it you know the debt ceiling extension is very

00:09:06.620 important they gave a debt ceiling the republicans gave a debt ceiling because of the importance of

00:09:13.440 doing it they did that for the good of the country and republicans voted for that they did a big

00:09:18.640 favor i don't know that i would have done it to be honest with you but whatever they did a favor

00:09:22.920 now the democrats won't do that favor back in other words you never want to violate your debt

00:09:27.760 governance so they gave you know what i'm saying they gave this four months early it was due in

00:09:34.600 september 28th right before the election uh a group of republicans got together and said you know what

00:09:40.780 this is so serious we should do this for the good of the country i understand that now it's their

00:09:46.380 turn to do it and they won't do it there are a lot of bad people in the democrat party uh i'd say there's

00:09:52.660 a very very bad people in the democrat party but that that's just a small part of it and just moments

00:09:58.260 ago before we got on this show uh the senate hit down a um they called a voter rama where they just go

00:10:05.300 through a bunch of uh little things that they're going to vote on uh voter rama uh striking down a

00:10:11.560 measure to kick illegals off medicaid by a vote of 56 to 44 so just to tell you where these rhinos are 1.00

00:10:17.700 at so not with you've got tillis getting ready to leave in 2026 he'll still be around for i guess

00:10:22.680 another 18 months or so he's going to try to make president trump's life's hell because you've got

00:10:27.480 collins you've got tillis now and you've got murkowski so that puts you out of 50 50 then you get one of 0.98

00:10:34.220 these other schmucks who thinks they're going to be a savior or whatever they think they are 0.98

00:10:37.780 and you've got a big big problem and over in the house it's the same thing you've got don bacon now 0.99

00:10:42.420 who's presumably going to make donald trump's life hell for the rest of his time uh because he's

00:10:48.080 probably got a nice seven-figure job lined up like tillis as well i would not be surprised if tom tillis

00:10:54.040 goes into some sort of health care uh industry or you know goes in and uh goes and works for the people

00:11:00.040 that have been paying him for the last few years that he's been in congress but that's what comes

00:11:05.540 with it guys like tom holman who are doing a hell of a job as the borders are they want this thing

00:11:10.940 passed right away um when the big beautiful bill does pass how do you expect that to impact the

00:11:15.760 number of deportations per day which would be twofold threefold vastly increased depends how quick we get

00:11:21.340 more resources on how quick we get the contractors on how quick we bring the beds on i mean governor

00:11:26.040 santos i give him credit we got the facility he's putting up in in florida we'll be filling those

00:11:31.240 beds as quick as we can because we need more beds i mean i looked at this morning i think we got like

00:11:35.220 1700 empty beds we'll fill them in two days so we need more beds that bill will let us sign

00:11:39.760 contracts that are pending for more beds we don't have the money the funding to do it

00:11:44.200 tom holman with a smile on his face we've got empty beds and we want them filled immediately

00:11:49.920 home and doing a heck of a job um at borders are all these people they just want to get to work

00:11:57.640 they just want to get to work and uh they're not letting them so moving on we're going to take all

00:12:04.340 this up today by the way with our guest he's going to be joining us in just a few moments after the

00:12:07.780 break uh professor nick giordano professor of political science here in new york uh brilliant mind

00:12:13.060 a new yorker like myself to break down what this means for us here across america if this thing passes

00:12:19.120 or it doesn't uh but before that the trump administration hard at work and just about

00:12:24.880 everything and their doj i think is off to a better start than it originally was if that makes sense

00:12:31.140 what i just said uh the last two months or so it seems that they've been getting their act together

00:12:35.880 maybe donald trump giving them a kick in the rear end telling them to let's go you know we're running

00:12:40.460 out of time here wasting time here uh the doj charged 324 in the largest health care fraud takedown in

00:12:47.360 u.s history about 15 billion scheme involving 96 doctors nurses pharmacists targeting medicare and

00:12:53.980 medicaid now i don't know if tom tillis knew this was coming today but he cannot be happy about it

00:12:59.280 let's take a listen on that press briefing earlier this morning name is matthew galliotti and i'm the

00:13:03.420 head of the justice department's criminal division thank you all for joining us today as we announce

00:13:09.080 the largest coordinated health care fraud takedown in the history of the department of justice

00:13:14.340 today marks a decisive moment in our fight to protect american taxpayers from fraudsters and to

00:13:22.480 defend the integrity of america's health care system we are announcing today charges against 324 defendants

00:13:33.540 for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately 14.6 billion dollars

00:13:42.760 in false claims submitted to medicare medicaid and other health care programs in a takedown this large

00:13:51.160 i can't possibly describe all of the work that went into dismantling each scheme but there are four key

00:13:57.320 points that bear emphasizing first let me be clear about what these health care fraud schemes mean

00:14:05.340 for every hard-working american family these criminals didn't just steal someone else's money they stole

00:14:12.500 from you every fraudulent claim every fake billing every kickback scheme represents money taken directly

00:14:22.060 from the pockets of american taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work

00:14:28.300 and sacrifice it's nice to see a department of justice that does work where you had merrick garland

00:14:35.740 he was doing work just not the right kind of work he was going after the american people

00:14:39.740 uh when he should have been going after the criminals that's just how it was folks we're going to take a

00:14:45.500 quick break here when we return we're going to be joined by our guest professor nick giordano so much

00:16:30.140 professor i'm not going to call you professor you're my friend how the hell are you i'm doing well john

00:16:36.000 how are you uh you know it's just another busy day in america i don't know if you heard the top of

00:16:40.660 my monologue but it's like i go to bed every night nick and and i wake up and i'm like all right

00:16:45.980 maybe it's a quiet news day today and it's never which makes our job nick so much fun i gotta be

00:16:53.500 honest during the i don't really get depressed but during the obama biden era which i'm talking about

00:16:59.920 the last four years the old biden era it was kind of boring man you know we woke up and it was like oh

00:17:05.540 did he fall down the stairs today you know who's changing his diaper today and i'm not even being

00:17:10.560 funny about it it's just it's what it was and you've got this administration now where it's like

00:17:15.520 nothing ceases to amaze me with with what's going on we woke up this morning to the largest

00:17:20.740 health care medicaid bust in the history of this country coupled with two rhinos departing congress 1.00

00:17:27.500 coupled with just a few moments ago uh the the rhinos and the dems voting against kicking

00:17:32.640 illegals off of medicaid it's like it's we're never digging for news well uh let's be honest

00:17:39.520 here it used to be that news segments used to last about two or three days now they last about two or

00:17:44.040 three minutes with president trump in office it really to stay on top of it it can get overwhelming

00:17:49.560 but you're right it is fun it's exciting it's certainly interesting times but it also shows you

00:17:55.260 how broken the system really is you know the government accountability office has been talking about for

00:18:01.200 years that between 10 to 40 percent of all medicaid claims is fraudulent this is a 600 plus billion

00:18:08.040 dollar program so even if we take the lower number at 10 percent that's 60 billion in fraud per year

00:18:14.560 and you saw what 300 plus doctors and can do the damage that they do and we've known about this and it's

00:18:22.780 about time that we have an administration that gets their butts in gears and becomes stewards of 0.99

00:18:27.860 taxpayer dollars starts targeting this fraud that's been occurring for far too long where doctors will

00:18:34.060 overbill you going for a cold and they're telling that they did stress tests and blood tests and all

00:18:39.240 this other work on you it's completely ridiculous but it shows how much work has to be done and it really

00:18:46.680 is amazing it shows you the the swamp is so powerful and you know it used to be charles kradhammer

00:18:52.260 said it brilliantly years ago that when government programs become the norm they only expand and the

00:18:59.500 fraud and abuse only get worse and that's what we're witnessing like we shouldn't have to have a

00:19:04.640 debate about whether or not illegal immigrants should have access to medicaid they shouldn't there should 1.00

00:19:10.780 be no debate congress shouldn't have to pass a law that that bans this to kick medic illegal immigrants 1.00

00:19:16.360 off the medicaid rolls and yet here we are nobody knows that medical system like you you've got a few

00:19:21.660 young boys who play sports who are constantly hurt you have a wife who just was going through some

00:19:26.700 surgeries it's it really you know it's crazy to me to think that the people legislating are the ones

00:19:32.860 who are getting the kickbacks they're the ones making the money so it's like it's like cheating

00:19:37.060 on your wife and then letting your wife see your phone you're like well i know i'm gonna get caught

00:19:40.200 if i show her my phone so if i don't show her my phone i won't get caught it's like these are the

00:19:44.100 people it's the same thing with like term limits right well you're gonna you're asking the guy

00:19:49.500 uh to vote against him getting you know whatever uh a pay cut and getting kicked out of office

00:19:55.640 or do we let him stay how do you like differentiate between letting these people these guys who are the

00:20:02.980 ones who are the bad guys being able to legislate for the worst guys well for the politicians it's

00:20:09.240 simply that they don't care they they don't have a respect for the american people anymore they believe

00:20:14.480 that public service means to rule over as opposed to serve the public and and the reason i say that

00:20:20.000 and it cuts cross party lines is because just think about how many election cycles we've heard

00:20:25.860 republicans say that they're going to run on the idea of fiscal responsibility and yet the budgets

00:20:30.740 just get bigger and bigger and bigger i mean listen the fact of the matter is that we're still

00:20:36.240 spending at pandemic levels despite the pandemic being over for i mean it was over in march of 2020 for me

00:20:42.540 but but despite the fact that uh the pandemic ended uh three years ago and yet why is it so difficult

00:20:49.700 to cut out that type of spending and i think it shows you how deeply entrenched the corruption is

00:20:55.540 within the system itself where you have someone like a senator tom tillis that will go out there say

00:21:01.580 one thing to his constituents and do the exact opposite when it comes time to vote but then again

00:21:07.740 they're never held accountable for their actions that you know incumbents win 80 percent of the time

00:21:13.660 tom tillis saw the writing on the wall because i think the majority of republican voters themselves

00:21:19.200 have had enough and listen it's not that you can't dissent right i mean if we juxtapose senator tom

00:21:25.400 tillis with senator rampaul notice nobody is criticizing senator rampaul nobody's saying that he should be

00:21:32.020 primaried because rampaul is someone that sticks by principles you may not agree with him you may not like

00:21:37.220 certain things he says but he's actually really consistent where senator tom tillis is not he'll

00:21:42.380 tell people one thing and do the exact opposite this should not be hard when it comes to the big

00:21:47.900 beautiful bill and i did hear your opening monologue and i agree this bill is not perfect there's a lot

00:21:53.640 of things that i would love to see in this bill a lot of further cuts but the reality is we have to deal

00:22:00.620 with what we have right now and i think that when you look at the taxes i mean you you just look at the

00:22:06.020 narratives where tom tillis plays right into the democrat narrative oh well this will hurt the

00:22:11.200 the working class the middle class that this is all for billionaires well no it's not let 86 percent

00:22:17.680 of the trump tax cuts back in 2017 went to those on the lower income sex scale everyone benefited from

00:22:25.460 those tax cuts and when we look at what those tax cuts did it led to enormous economic growth in fact

00:22:32.440 the irs treasury was taking in more revenue and even though the cbo which is routinely wrong

00:22:39.160 notoriously wrong at every estimate said that the government was going to massively increase that

00:22:45.040 that tax revenues were going to drop they actually increased dramatically so we we look at this and we

00:22:51.000 see well democrats are saying this is a bill for billionaires yet billionaires aren't really getting

00:22:56.500 anything out of bill no tax on tips doesn't help billionaires that helps lower to lower middle class 0.54

00:23:03.740 workers no taxes on overtimes how many billionaires do you know are sitting there putting in punch cards

00:23:09.800 where they're tracking their overtime how many there's none okay and so that's it's things like

00:23:15.580 that that matter in this bill but republicans do a terrible job what messaging that conveying that to

00:23:20.920 the american public and republicans are their own worst enemy they don't have to worry about the

00:23:25.780 democrats because they're good at attacking each other no you're absolutely right i want to get

00:23:29.940 to some of these comments here um over on youtube amber a fox news poll found that only 38 percent of

00:23:35.920 voters support the big beautiful bill independence posed at 73 to 22 even top trump's top demographic

00:23:42.100 white men without college degree oppose it 53 to 43 the bill is incredibly unpopular on both sides

00:23:47.980 of the aisle it adds trillions to the debt 11 million people lose their medicaid and health insurance

00:23:52.480 that's not true uh maybe 11 million illegals will uh of course the rubes and dunces will cheer this bill 0.84

00:23:58.660 on uh and they're going to be getting their huge raises so first of all i i won't bash fox news with

00:24:04.680 you on here uh just for your own sake but i don't trust the fox news poll that comes out but it you know

00:24:11.500 we're not disputing the fact that it's unpopular that's what you know it's what they're given you have a

00:24:17.560 three-seat majority in the senate okay and it's really a zero seat majority because you've got

00:24:22.580 three rhinos who are going to vote against just about everything president trump does for the next 0.74

00:24:26.600 three and a half years in the house i don't even know what the majority is down to now but it's it's

00:24:31.540 like i can count on one hand what it is it's the best possible bill that they can put forth now

00:24:37.440 before president trump's tax cuts expires uh we have another comment in here please explain how does this

00:24:42.500 how do taxes go up 68 if the bill doesn't pass uh so what president trump says that that's over on

00:24:49.020 youtube warnock dan uh it's not a 68 i think it's conflated how president trump says a little bit

00:24:54.940 it's not a 68 tax increase on people what he's saying is 68 of the population is going to get a tax

00:25:02.920 increase in one way or another and you know you look across the board the child tax credit was doubled

00:25:07.660 under this uh the the average rate was down two or three percent on the tax bracket you know you

00:25:12.880 could go down on the list if you want to elaborate a little bit on on this uh nick well i want to take

00:25:18.180 on a couple things so first of all as far as adding debt if we look at the cbo scoring the cbo is stating

00:25:25.740 that it's going to be 3.3 trillion dollars that are added to the debt over the course of a 10-year

00:25:31.400 period now i'm not someone that likes to add to the debt but the cbo is the cbo they are routinely

00:25:38.860 wrong whenever they do their estimates and so i can't take that seriously at the same time you do

00:25:45.280 have republicans that are promising now i'm not holding my breath and i would never hold my breath

00:25:49.440 on this one but they're promising to tackle the spending in the actual budget bills that are supposed

00:25:55.760 to be starting in august when they start debating those budget bills for the october fiscal year

00:26:00.740 yeah so if we look at economic growth the cbo is calculating that this bill would generate 1.7

00:26:07.700 percent of economic growth in gdp well let's say they're wrong let's say it's 2.7 or 3 well right

00:26:15.160 there alone that that's going to cut the amount of debt that's added okay so we have to understand

00:26:20.560 that these are all just estimates as far as the optics 38 of the people supporting this listen i i took

00:26:27.060 this bill to task in my own podcast the pas report but the the fact of the matter is that most people

00:26:33.740 have no idea what's in this bill and that's where the republican messaging has been terrible democrats

00:26:38.720 are the ones that are framing this debate and i don't know why when they say that people are going

00:26:43.160 to get kicked off medicaid the only thing that's going into medicaid is that they are doing a able

00:26:49.100 bodied work or school requirement that if you are an able bodied individual you you are physically able

00:26:55.320 and you are mentally sound that you have to either work 80 hours a month or attend school 80 hours a

00:27:02.220 month i don't think that's too much to ask i mean i remember when bill clinton did welfare reform and

00:27:07.960 put in the work requirements and the american people were cheering that on but see there's a lot of

00:27:14.020 americans that are saying oh you're trying to kick people off medicaid when that is not the case and

00:27:19.500 why should an able-bodied person of sound mind and body be able to to collect medicaid get medical

00:27:25.900 insurance taxpayer funded when they can go out and get a job it's completely ludicrous but this is where

00:27:33.220 republicans lose the argument because democrats make it an emotional argument and republicans don't push

00:27:40.060 back on that no you're absolutely right and their messaging has never been good it's always been 0.94

00:27:45.680 some sort of nonsense milquetoast bs and it's the reason why the republicans are going to get killed

00:27:51.940 without donald trump when donald trump is gone it's going to be a bloodbath for republicans and people

00:27:57.440 are going to hate me for saying this but it's just the truth donald trump has carried so many people

00:28:01.520 across the finish line that they're not going to realize what they had uh until it's gone and that's

00:28:07.140 and john i don't mean to interrupt but this is not complicated politics is not rocket science first

00:28:12.360 of all there's limited money in the pot so the more people that access these programs the less

00:28:17.360 benefits there are available to the people that are receiving these programs so when you have millions

00:28:23.200 upon millions of people that are able to work and receive these benefits who is that hurting well it's

00:28:28.540 hurting the actual people on disability the people that aren't physically able to go to work or mentally

00:28:34.160 able to go to work i'd rather give them more money in their benefits and take away the moochers off the 1.00

00:28:40.020 system than sit here and say you know people are going to lose their insurance no they're not if you

00:28:46.180 follow the rules well you shouldn't have been on this program in the first place and we have to get

00:28:51.000 rid of the waste fraud and abuse that's going on because there's far too many people that have become

00:28:56.060 addicted to the system yeah yep and nobody wants to do it because it's the same people like i said

00:29:01.400 who are legislating who are part of the problem and understand the majority of people aren't receiving

00:29:05.660 medicaid that's the amazing part so this isn't even going to impact that many americans and yet

00:29:11.980 democrats have cornered the argument on this it's what it is we're going to take a quick break here

00:30:47.040 uh who do we've got fall girl over on rumble thank you for joining us each and every night

00:30:51.980 um let's get to some of these comments bacon is a pos uh from mike over on facebook i can't say i'd

00:30:58.780 argue with you over that one uh gene hall over on facebook you're due for your next booster bubba go

00:31:04.400 get it i can't say i've ever got one so i can't get a booster shot uh uh we got to that uh

00:31:12.040 nice job now it's time for some convictions i think that's uh what we're all waiting for out

00:31:18.480 of this doj uh chris holmes joining us from uh summers point new jersey thanks for tuning in

00:31:23.660 uh there's some people calling us traitors to our party uh we won't give them a shout out casito

00:31:28.860 doctor over on rumble thanks for tuning in um let's let's take this one over on facebook because i think

00:31:35.500 this is an interesting one most people have no idea the republican party i think it loves to lose

00:31:40.920 elections because it puts them in the spotlight to raise huge amounts of cash donations that they

00:31:45.400 can stuff into their own pockets from bill over on facebook i think he's absolutely right the only

00:31:51.160 problem is is donald trump's got like a ridiculous amount of money right now in the war chest so why

00:31:56.900 would the republicans want to do that nick no when mitch mcconnell uh became the majority leader the first

00:32:02.940 time he actually said that it's better to be in the minority yes because the the expectations are

00:32:08.900 very low on the minority party in the senate and you have tools to block anything the majority party

00:32:14.280 wants to do brilliant if you have the majority in the senate most americans are completely unaware

00:32:20.140 that for most bills you need a 60 vote threshold so you have to get the other party on board members

00:32:25.360 of the other party on board but the american people think oh well the majority they should be able to

00:32:30.380 pass the bill that you know republicans shouldn't need anyone to pass this bill but it's much more

00:32:35.500 complex than that so i i think that republicans lose because two reasons one they still think that

00:32:41.980 they're dealing with the 1980s 1990s democrats that democrat party has been dead for the last decade at

00:32:48.380 the very least it doesn't exist anymore and republicans are playing by a different set of rules

00:32:54.140 the second thing is that republicans will many of them want to be liked they they want to be

00:33:00.880 invited to the washington dc parties the cocktail parties they want to be liked by the media that

00:33:07.640 they want to receive the praise and we we see how that operates i don't care about being liked i want

00:33:14.140 to see statesmen again i'm not a fan of the big beautiful bill i don't like the fact that we're

00:33:19.020 increasing military spending because i think there's so much waste in the department of defense

00:33:23.160 it doesn't need to be increased we just need to spend the money more responsibly if it was up to me

00:33:27.900 i'd cut government by 50 percent i think that the bureaucracy is the biggest threat to the american

00:33:33.200 public it's emerged as like the fourth branch of government that is unconstrained by the constitution

00:33:38.720 and operates independently from the other branches i think that is the biggest story i think that's the

00:33:43.880 biggest threat and again republicans they talk a good game right they spoke about we're going to take

00:33:49.880 on the weaponization of government we're going to rein in the the pfizer abuses and what happened

00:33:55.700 fiza came up for a vote and they reauthorized it with very few changes they put in some changes but

00:34:01.140 not many and it shows you that there are some that once they're in power they like that power too so

00:34:07.220 they will criticize democrats for that power but now that they're in the hot levers of power

00:34:11.900 they want to use it and so they're not willing to see that that's why the bureaucracy only grows you

00:34:18.200 notice how it never shrinks and that's what we really need to work on yeah and you know what he does so

00:34:24.580 much stuff donald trump i don't think he gets enough credit i'm not i'm not a truck trump sycophant it's

00:34:28.660 just what it is the the facts support it right so it's not just me coming out here being hyperbolic

00:34:34.520 about something the facts support everything i you know my support for donald trump uh last week

00:34:40.080 some of his accomplishments that i i went through with doing my show notes say a 12-day ceasefire before

00:34:46.280 between iran and uh and uh israel will it last i don't know but we have a ceasefire right now which

00:34:52.600 means nobody's dying no rockets are hitting israel that's a win in my book nato defense spending

00:34:58.400 agreement was was agreed upon uh when president trump went over to uh amsterdam and got them to

00:35:03.880 agree to five percent of gdp uh rwanda and congo peace deal which president trump was able to do was

00:35:09.260 something i haven't been able to do for a very long time the supreme court now this isn't on donald

00:35:13.220 trump but this is supporting donald trump ending the nationwide injunctions uh from these marxist

00:35:17.900 rogue judges oh did i forget to mention the record closes on the stock market which

00:35:22.820 continued today on the nasdaq and s&p 500 it's this is all stuff that he's done if you think about

00:35:29.260 everything he's done so far nick i can't think of one thing that that he's done was which was of the

00:35:35.180 help of congress which congress enabled him to do everything deportations congress had nothing to do

00:35:40.840 can you think of anything congress has done to advance his agenda in his first it's not even six

00:35:46.520 months five months and like 10 days or whatever it's been well i think no congress hasn't done

00:35:52.900 anything and and unfortunately that that's part of the problem is that congress is the lawmaking body

00:35:58.460 president trump should not be issuing executive orders the reality is congress should take up these

00:36:03.540 matters and codify them especially if you know you have a democrat down the road that gets into the

00:36:09.340 white house it will be much harder for the democrat to do push their agenda especially if it's as far 0.53

00:36:14.040 left as what we're seeing here in new york city but i think the nato thing you brought up is really

00:36:18.880 important because we could go all the way back to the 1980s with president ronald reagan and that's

00:36:25.020 where everything was about diplomacy and behind the scenes the the american administrations from reagan

00:36:31.260 up until president obama would push the european countries to put more into nato to live up to their

00:36:38.160 obligations and they never did they basically said go f yourself america and then trump comes into

00:36:44.480 office and what does trump do he calls them out publicly like one of the greatest episodes from the

00:36:51.060 first trump administration was when he took germany to task on live television saying they're not paying

00:36:56.800 enough of their gdp into defense spending as required by nato and also that they should be getting

00:37:02.860 their natural gas from the united states as opposed to russia especially considering that russia you know

00:37:08.340 they kept on saying how dangerous russia is what a threat they are to europe and them out of the g7

00:37:13.960 absolutely and he calls them out and people don't like it and yes sometimes you have to call your allies

00:37:21.560 out listen our allies are not going to do what's in america's best interest they're going to do what's in

00:37:27.640 their own self-interest that's the whole nation-state concept that's how it operates right it's like

00:37:32.800 human beings we do what's in our self-interest well nation-states are the same way so germany is not

00:37:38.460 going to do what's in our interest america is the only country in the world that doesn't exert the

00:37:43.600 power and influence it has to its own detriment we we will actually push policies that are against our

00:37:49.760 interests and donald trump is changing that whether you like him or not the guy does get things done

00:37:55.800 you look at the abraham accords that was monumental if any other president did that they would have a

00:38:01.260 nobel peace prize you look at the iran nuclear threat every single president prior to that said

00:38:07.140 we can't allow iran to have nuclear weapons we have to stop their nuclear program trump took action

00:38:12.220 um you know so we can go real quickly you mentioned the abraham accords which is i say it all the time

00:38:18.180 i believe the abraham accords is the only reason that israel is still standing as a state today

00:38:21.840 without them i think you have a far different looking israel with everything that's gone on between

00:38:26.560 gaza and hamas and iran uh with those countries that are surrounding israel and i'll i'll argue

00:38:31.540 anybody who disagrees with me on that because well it's simple i mean you look at those nations

00:38:35.700 saudi arabia qatar bahrain you go back prior to the abraham accords if israel engaged with hamas there

00:38:43.320 would be riots throughout the middle east the middle east would be on fire you would have all our

00:38:48.160 embassies stones being thrown at them we haven't seen a single protest in a lot of these arab countries in

00:38:53.920 fact many of the arab countries have actually come out to criticize the palestinian authority

00:38:58.840 and hamas they've come out to criticize palestine this is historic and there is report there are

00:39:05.600 reports that we're going to see several other nations within the next couple of months sign on

00:39:10.900 to these abraham accords this is transforming the middle east let's take a look president trump was asked

00:39:16.500 about that uh with maria barna roma yesterday let's take a look has any other country suggested to you

00:39:21.140 recently as a result of this that they want to join the abraham accords yes so we have some really

00:39:29.620 great countries in there right now and i think we're going to start loading them up because uh

00:39:33.900 iran was the primary problem i actually thought iran would i i actually thought we had a period of

00:39:39.620 time where i thought iran would join the abraham accords along with everybody else and frankly they

00:39:44.180 would have been better off than where they are right now and what about the abraham accords would syria

00:39:49.280 enter well i don't know but you know i did take off the sanctions at the request of some of the

00:39:54.860 other countries in the area that are friends of ours i took off the sanctions on syria to give them a

00:39:59.420 chance that you know the sanctions are biting they're very strong and we have sanctions on iran too and

00:40:05.980 you know you take them off when i i sort of gave the expression today you get more sometimes with

00:40:11.820 nutty than you do with vinegar what an analogy um so that's something else now that we're going to

00:40:19.440 look forward to that we could possibly have peace in the middle east for the first time i think

00:40:22.780 perhaps ever well under the first trump administration the middle east was more stable in that four-year

00:40:28.320 period than it was throughout my entire lifetime and when we look under president biden he pushed a

00:40:33.460 lot of middle eastern countries towards china's fear of influence and russia's fear of influence

00:40:38.100 when president trump came about back into office and did his middle eastern tour he said something

00:40:42.720 critical listen we're not here to try and change your governments or your culture those are your

00:40:48.180 internal things and we're not going to push you know the transgender ideology in your communities in

00:40:54.200 your backyards that you reject and don't want i think that was a welcome message to the arab community 1.00

00:41:00.360 i think the arab community said you know what they're not going to preach to us they just want to do

00:41:04.720 business with us and understand the global order the global world map is one big chessboard and you

00:41:11.600 see that president trump is strategically laying the pieces out to ensure u.s dominance and success

00:41:18.320 in the international arena for the next decade or so yeah going back to what you said about i guess uh

00:41:25.040 changing things inside the country it was just before donald trump even ran for office he was asked i

00:41:29.620 believe it was about iran about women being forced to wear hijabs and he's like

00:41:33.020 i don't give a damn it has nothing to do with me it has nothing to do with america it's not our 0.93

00:41:37.900 business if they want to force their people to wear hijabs or this or that that's on them and by the 0.53

00:41:43.140 way you know some of the women may want to wear them on their own anyway and it's up to the iranian 0.80

00:41:47.700 people to decide if they don't like their government well overthrow it you know it's in the declaration of

00:41:53.820 independence i mean they could just adopt adapt it over there you can change your government you

00:41:59.360 ultimately have the responsibility and obligation when a government abuses their power and enters

00:42:04.240 absolute despotism to overthrow it and so it's up to the iranian people to decide their future

00:42:10.100 yep not america regardless of what uh lindsey lady lindsey graham wants to tell you or tom cotton we

00:42:17.540 should have nothing to do with it on the topic of this we've spoken we're both new yorkers and uh

00:42:22.700 it's kind of scary to think that uh don't mess with the zohan momandani might be the next mayor of new

00:42:28.740 york donald trump is not ready to play ball with him take a listen what did you make of the new york

00:42:33.840 democrat primary um i'm donnie he's a communist i think it's very bad for new york i don't know that

00:42:41.540 he's going to get in it's inconceivable that he's but he's a communist and he's a pure communist he i 0.63

00:42:46.180 think he admits it but uh i can't imagine it but let's say this if he does get in i'm going to be

00:42:53.700 president and he's going to have to do the right thing or they're not getting any money

00:42:56.960 he's got to do the right thing uh it's shocking that i would have assumed that i never i used to

00:43:04.300 say we will never have a socialist in this country no but we'll have a communist i mean he's a

00:43:08.260 communist and going to be mayor of new york uh so i was very surprised when i said i never heard of

00:43:14.300 him i don't know who he is well he said he's going to fight ice he's not going to allow ice to

00:43:19.800 be very unsuccessful and he said if benjamin netanyahu comes to new york he's going to have 0.87

00:43:24.500 him arrested oh he's a radical left lunatic so donald trump doesn't care about playing ball 0.52

00:43:30.260 with him what do you think well first of all mayor has no authority to arrest any foreign leader on u.s 0.60

00:43:35.660 soil that's not up to him and he should be called out for that uh he he would be mayor khan 2.0 london

00:43:41.340 2.0 here in the united states i mean listen i think that the mandami's messaging is toxic obviously

00:43:48.940 he he's a communist there's little doubt about that but we also have to get a grip because when

00:43:54.860 we look at the voter turnout i i think it's something and my numbers might be slightly off

00:43:58.540 only 10 percent of registered voters actually voted in this primary and when we look at the new york city

00:44:04.200 mayoral race it's it is complicated we don't have a clear picture of how votes will split yeah but

00:44:09.940 let's look at mamdani's base of support it's rich white liberals it's the privileged class and a it's

00:44:16.040 black hispanics are not supporting him whites and asians are the highest support for mom and donnie

00:44:22.500 well and the privileged class is the one that's supporting him so i don't think that he's as strong

00:44:30.200 as people make him out to be however that doesn't mean new york city can't go communist it certainly

00:44:35.180 can because a lot of people don't turn out to vote but if he does win he will become the new face of

00:44:41.620 the democrat party and that's what what is scaring the daylights out of a lot of democrat strategists

00:44:47.820 out there they are worried about this far left takeover of the entire party and the only person

00:44:54.600 is like senator john fetterman that becomes the voice of reason and they're trying to exile him from

00:44:59.640 that political party yeah it's it's really a scary thought to think that this is and i said it the day

00:45:04.920 he won that anybody could if it happened in new york it could happen anywhere because new york's kind of 0.98

00:45:09.000 like but it's stupid ideas i mean really government run grocery stores to all the viewers out there 0.91

00:45:15.440 have you ever had to deal with the government and said wow that was a pleasant experience i'd love 0.97

00:45:20.220 that they've government run stores in north korea yeah they had them in soviet union too it didn't

00:45:26.280 work out so it was good for bread lines so yeah you had a lot of people waiting they were wheelbarrows

00:45:30.580 of russian rubles in order to get bread it's so absurd to think that you know i'm not one of these

00:45:36.480 people i didn't like eric adams in the beginning i i'm still 50 50 on him wishy-washy he's a democrat

00:45:42.620 at the end of the day but i can't stand curtis lee when i can't pretend that i actually like the guy

00:45:47.420 the guy's come out on the record how many times and said i hate donald trump i think he's a used

00:45:52.600 car salesman he's a not that the you know it actually gives the used car salesman a bad name

00:45:56.300 he's more of a snake oil salesman uh can't stand donald trump hates everything about him i i don't

00:46:02.260 think we should be supporting curtis leeway he can't win well i think it all depends i i think

00:46:08.500 we have to wait till august to see what some of the polling is looking like and whether or not we need

00:46:13.300 the adams sliwa vote is the one that's actually splitting not mandami cuomo adams vote so i think

00:46:21.060 it all depends i mean it does create a unique opening where you can necessarily get a third party

00:46:27.180 a republican possibly to actually win because you wouldn't need necessarily a majority if you split

00:46:32.120 the vote so many different ways but the key is getting people to turn out and that's been the

00:46:37.840 republicans biggest problem in new york city is not getting their base out to vote in the general

00:46:44.060 elections because they believe well it's a democrat run city it's not going to change no if everyone

00:46:50.040 turns out to vote whether republican independent disaffected democrat you will get a change it's not

00:46:56.200 that long ago that we actually had a republican mayor in new york city we also had a republican

00:47:01.120 governor in new york state and we had a republican senate in new york state that was only 20 somewhat

00:47:07.980 years ago it can return especially given that the cesspool that new york state has become and

00:47:14.160 especially new york city the way i see it right now the way it looks it looks like uh mom and donnie i

00:47:19.940 think that's how you say he's no mom donnie and um and cuomo look like they'll split their vote and it

00:47:25.660 looks like adams and uh and sliwas with their vote so it sort of creates this really interesting thing

00:47:31.040 where someone can squeak this thing out with a few thousand votes correct and i wouldn't necessarily

00:47:36.540 rule out that there may be a sit down behind the scenes and i don't have any inside knowledge of

00:47:40.920 this or anything but by the end of august the sit down between maybe mayor adams sliwa and even the

00:47:47.220 disgraced emperor cuomo uh coming to an agreement that mom donnie is too dangerous for new york city and so

00:47:53.140 they got to coalesce behind one and then they'll draw straws certainly not going to be emperor cuomo

00:47:57.820 but adams and sliwa would draw straws to see which one's better positioned i'm all for cuomo staying

00:48:02.560 in i think him and uh mom and donnie should beat the living daylights out of each other i hate cuomo i 0.88

00:48:08.500 mean what he did to the nursing homes i absolutely hate him and for people saying he's the voice of 1.00

00:48:12.160 reason between the democrats he's a disgrace absolutely not the voice of reason he's a sexual predator he's 1.00

00:48:17.120 a sexual eraser uh and he's a murderer for what he did to people and he's got away with it he got away 1.00

00:48:21.720 with it now he thinks like you said emperor that he can sit up on his throne he's going to run for 1.00

00:48:26.160 office like he did nothing wrong because nobody held him accountable is absolutely disgusting

00:48:30.460 eric adams like i said to me he's just a democrat uh i don't he hasn't really hurt new yorkers he's

00:48:37.780 helped new yorkers more than he's hurt them with allowing ice to come in and get these illegals out 1.00

00:48:42.940 of here and i think he's done a better job since he decided to turn that corner i don't see him as the

00:48:47.680 radical that i believed he once was and um you know i always say the lesser of the two evils and

00:48:53.640 lou hated that saying but that's the way i see it well it'd be nice if the world operated strictly on

00:48:58.860 principle and you wouldn't have to go with the lesser of two evils and i think that that that

00:49:03.140 reflects this sad state of american politics that we we actually look at it from that perspective

00:49:08.660 that it is the lesser of two evils i do believe that both political parties have lost touch with the

00:49:14.380 people that they're supposed to serve and i think that a lot of the bureaucrats have forgotten

00:49:19.980 uh why they exist why government exists and so have the people where they continually make more

00:49:25.600 and more demands on government to get bigger and then we'll complain when it's too overbearing when

00:49:30.540 it's spending too much money uh but yet it's an impossibility to cut government programs it shows you

00:49:35.920 the hypocrisy within the system but yeah it's sad when you look at it from the lesser of two evils

00:49:41.600 perspective we've got a comment i want to get to some of these before we wrap up here just because

00:49:46.160 i promise you're good uh rachel collins the people got tired of dem policies dictating everybody and 0.70

00:49:51.120 the republicans doing nothing about it this is why we elected president trump he was not a politician

00:49:55.860 he is common sense i think that's absolutely right the people still see donald trump i don't see donald

00:50:01.020 trump as a politician i still see donald trump uh as the apprentice yeah that's how he operates i mean

00:50:07.220 listen trump trump is trump okay he is the one person that remains constant where where he just

00:50:16.520 doesn't change and he will adjust positions when he gets new information and it shows you i mean just

00:50:23.140 look at how he deliberated whether or not he should strike iran's nuclear facilities it shows you that he

00:50:29.200 is methodical in his approach that he doesn't just shoot from the hip but as far as democrats they try and

00:50:35.400 dictate every aspect of our life where trump has a refreshing message i just want everyone to be

00:50:40.880 successful i want america to be great again i want america and american people to come first it's

00:50:46.680 actually refreshing that we have a politician that doesn't poll test every single line and every 0.62

00:50:51.760 single speech they're going to give what comes up here he's going to say whether you like it or not

00:50:57.380 and that to me uh shows that he's not your normal politician if a politician at all that's who

00:51:03.540 donald trump is let's take a few more of these before we wrap i didn't know sliwa hated trump

00:51:07.760 yet there's there's a video out there of him actually saying it i hate donald trump i hate

00:51:12.320 donald trump and i think it was back in like 2019 before he decided to run again in 2020 it's a video

00:51:17.320 out there i'm not lying i promise you uh let's be honest there are a lot of republicans that were

00:51:22.180 talking like that may a lot of them did change here too yeah but he said it that was back in 2016

00:51:28.120 that this was knocking before him running 2020 uh straight forward on rumble any chance trump ends

00:51:33.140 up endorsing uh adams as an independent i don't know that's a good question what do you think

00:51:37.700 i see that as a possibility i actually think that trump likes personally likes uh mayor eric adams

00:51:45.040 and so it wouldn't surprise he's either going to stay out of it but if he feels that the only way to

00:51:50.860 defeat mom donny is by endorsing adams i think he would actually do it yeah i i i second what you said

00:51:57.860 i think he does too and i don't know if you ever met adams i've met him a bunch of times he's

00:52:01.000 actually a very nice cunning guy he is a democrat at the end of the day right so i keep my pocket

00:52:05.160 zipped to make sure i'm not getting pickpocketed but i think he is a very nice guy he's a cunning

00:52:09.700 guy and uh you know as soon as they uh he started supporting some of what donald trump did they came

00:52:15.220 after him and we we see that uh the people who get indicted are usually the ones who maybe want to

00:52:22.380 start doing right bob menendez started turning the corner now bob menendez has always been a crook i'm not 0.52

00:52:26.980 defending him don't get mad at me by any stretch of the imagination he's bold bar do you have

00:52:31.320 egyptian gold bars in your seat pockets not that i know of i wish i did me too but you know he started

00:52:38.400 turning the corner on certain issues now like i said he's always been a criminal but in recent times

00:52:43.740 he was he was turning the corner on certain things agreeing with president trump and bang the first one

00:52:48.420 was a mistrial they got him and he got away with it and then this last time they got around now the next

00:52:53.360 man i believe who will be a part of the prey is going to be poor john fetterman and i never did i

00:52:58.100 think the two words poor and john fetterman would be coming out of my mouth well no i mean listen when

00:53:03.300 he was first elected in 2022 i mean i was someone that criticized the fact that they ran him at what

00:53:09.260 a severe stroke he shouldn't have been in office but it turns out that as his health has gotten

00:53:14.320 better well he's actually become the same voice of reason nick i'd argue that he was more cognitive

00:53:20.100 stroked out than some of these democrats and rhinos are not stroked out well the amazing part is all

00:53:25.740 the leaks behind the scenes from democrats saying well well john fetterman's health is so far gone

00:53:31.240 no the guy couldn't even really speak or read or anything when he first had the stroke it truly is

00:53:36.260 amazing but it shows you how vicious the democrats are it shows you the vipers that they are that the

00:53:41.600 second you deviate from whatever the narrative is supposed to be that they will criticize and they will

00:53:47.280 take out their own look at what they did to joe biden right i mean you know they they covered up

00:53:52.020 the cognitive decline even though it was apparent to anyone that was paying attention uh but but the

00:53:56.780 second he had that debate performance in june just you know one year ago almost then it was the pelosis

00:54:03.660 the obamas did the the the schumers that stabbed him in his back and forced him off the ticket through 0.96

00:54:10.440 threats they could say all he wants oh look he stepped down what a great man no they forced him over

00:54:15.380 the ticket when you no longer serve as the useful to the democrat party they are willing to throw you

00:54:22.520 overboard meanwhile you look at republicans and the beauty of republican i've criticized trump and there's

00:54:28.940 been no blowback against me i say what's on my mind i don't care who it upsets i don't care who it

00:54:34.400 offends some people agree with me some don't but i'm free to speak my mind the way i want without fear

00:54:40.720 of reprisal whereas you look at democrats if you say the wrong thing they will target you

00:54:45.780 yep and donald trump he's not a man who's got thin skin right he doesn't like people who talk about him

00:54:52.400 but he doesn't know he's he look you had mentioned it before in 2016 each and every single one of those

00:54:58.180 people called him a con artist they called him this they called him that and they're now his best

00:55:02.320 friends marco rubio and him we're talking about small hands small this small that high heels he's now

00:55:07.420 his secretary of state ted cruz is lining himself one day to possibly be a presidential contender

00:55:12.640 ran paul you know they still have their ups and downs chris christie could never get over the fact

00:55:17.340 and ate himself into an oblivion and depression but mike huckabee is now his ambassador to israel so

00:55:23.380 he's not thin-skinned if you're talking about issues it's when you get personal with him i think

00:55:28.380 where he gets a little bit more thin-skinned as probably anybody does right there's times where he

00:55:33.820 punches down where it's like just ignore it you know some of them deserve it i can't agree with

00:55:39.240 you well it all depends on who sometimes though everyone better to ignore it and just move on you

00:55:45.020 know when elon moss first criticized the big beautiful bill if i was trump i would have said

00:55:49.000 i'm not taking you a bait i know you want us to fight but he's allowed to have his own opinion if

00:55:54.340 trump would have said that the media would have been silent they wouldn't know what to do with it but

00:55:58.140 the media loves to create the gossip and so they try and bait him i think that the second trump

00:56:02.940 in this term is actually much more disciplined than the first trump administration much more

00:56:08.240 discipline and i think it comes with age right you get older you start to slow down i feel slower from

00:56:13.000 five years ago i can't imagine a man from 75 to 80 what they feel like when i went from 25 and also

00:56:19.200 couple assassination attempts on you yeah that'll probably scare the heck out of you a little bit but

00:56:23.440 he you're absolutely right he's got his head down now and i think he's more determined than ever and

00:56:27.580 you know he hasn't really 2016 trump i enjoyed it was fun watching him just fight everybody tooth

00:56:34.580 and nail and didn't care about it if and now he's a little bit more reserved about it and you know he

00:56:39.100 picks his fights a little bit more wisely because it takes up a lot of energy but at the same time i

00:56:43.760 think he's getting far more done now uh than he's gotten done in 2016 because of he understands who was

00:56:51.580 there to stop him the first time around he understand who was there to cock block him the first time

00:56:55.580 around now he's got stephen miller and i was talking with um uh what's his name uh professor

00:57:01.420 jacobson who's a cornell university law professor brilliant man on friday the funniest part about

00:57:07.200 this trump administration is all these court battles these fights it's stephen miller a man who's not

00:57:13.020 even a lawyer going up and winning these cases not literally representing them but he's the one who's

00:57:18.820 structured everything it's stephen miller man who's not even a lawyer who's winning all these cases

00:57:23.520 against these brilliant judges it's stephen miller who's getting upheld by the supreme court

00:57:28.420 he's not even a lawyer well i i think that trump has surrounded himself with a different cast of

00:57:34.140 people this time that are actually looking out for the administration's interests but i also think

00:57:39.140 that to trump it's about legacy he knows he can't run despite you know him him trolling the left and

00:57:44.640 saying he's going to run for a third term he knows he can't run anymore and we all know trump and his

00:57:49.880 new york personality you know we've lived here our whole lives where he wants to be seen as successful

00:57:55.840 he wants to be seen as someone that did things that no other president have have done before like

00:58:01.880 peace in the middle east and i think that's what he's focused on i think that's why it's so much

00:58:07.480 more disciplined now than it was in his first term yeah you're absolutely right before we wrap up

00:58:12.800 since we're on the topic of judges uh judges agreed to delay the release of ms 13 gang member

00:58:18.180 kilmar abrigo garcia i don't know if you've been following but last week donald trump's uh one of

00:58:24.460 his attorneys said not donald trump's attorney but one of the attorneys for the case that as soon as

00:58:29.840 he's released he's being deported again and this came just as the supreme court said president trump

00:58:35.220 can do the third country uh deportion deportions deportations so i don't think kilmar abrigo garcia

00:58:43.180 is going back to uh beautiful el salvador seacott i think kilmar abrigo garcia is going to like

00:58:48.780 south sudan well uh listen and this is where i will criticize the trump administration particularly

00:58:54.880 attorney general pan bondi why did you bring him back in the first place so they can charge him

00:58:59.900 i understand that but it was it's not worth the headache for the for these judges you had

00:59:05.160 all the democrat senators lining up behind kilmar abrigo but now you got this judge coming out to

00:59:11.860 defend them that people will forget about the democrats and their support of him i mean republicans

00:59:16.780 will try and remind them but there was no point in even bringing him back he was in the south now

00:59:21.940 they're they're they're they're they're defending a man who's been convicted of human trafficking so now

00:59:26.740 they're not just defending this man who was wrongfully deported they're defending a man and you see

00:59:32.680 they pulled back on it because they can't defend a man who's now been charged with human trafficking but

00:59:37.200 you know it doesn't matter at the end of the day he's uh he's going to somewhere far worse

00:59:41.280 than seacott well now he has to go to an american prison i mean let's face it if he's convicted of

00:59:46.860 human trafficking these serious crimes you have to put him in prison then you can deport him to

00:59:51.120 whatever country you deport him to uh these are the blights on society that that should be removed

00:59:57.400 that everyone should support removing how democrats ever fell for the trap of defending people

01:00:02.660 like kilmar albrego uh you know every democrat political strategist was probably screaming

01:00:09.340 behind the scenes about that because that is just simple politics 101 common sense if you're

01:00:16.460 going to go to bath for someone you know their background then you know that they're not human 0.96

01:00:20.320 traffickers and wife beaters that's usually you know a bridge too far they got hit with the old

01:00:25.820 banana in the tailpipe from beverly hills cop for anyone who's seen that the old mercy banana in the

01:00:30.660 tailpipe is what i call it nick it's always a delight to talk to you host of the pas report

01:00:35.420 you get the last word but i also want you to give the audience where they can uh find you follow you

01:00:40.680 and listen to the podcast i think that for the next couple of years we're in for a wild ride i think

01:00:46.120 that you know as far as the big beautiful bill goes it's going to be really important to see how it

01:00:51.320 turns out and the debates that unfold and then what happens if the senate does pass it between the house

01:00:56.840 and the senate trying to reconcile the bill so that's going to be an interesting thing but the

01:01:01.300 most important message is for everyone this is the fourth of july week everyone should go out read the

01:01:06.680 declaration of independence understand the concepts of limited government understand that government

01:01:13.320 doesn't grant us our rights our rights are inherent these are god-given rights and we have to begin

01:01:18.320 taking the power back from the bureaucracy with that being said everyone could go to the pas report

01:01:23.660 website pas report.com i got a fantastic episode dropping on the declaration of independence on

01:01:29.140 thursday so everyone should check it out beautiful nicholas giordano folks we were recommended to you
