00:00:00.000
hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us today thanks
00:00:06.540
so much for joining us in just a few moments we're going to be joined by a friend of mine and
00:00:10.020
an often guest on this show the great mark mitchell of rasmussen reports are going to be
00:00:14.380
taken up uh the latest public opinion on all that's going on president trump in office now
00:00:19.340
just about three weeks and boy has he got to work and yes he got to work uh hitting the ground
00:00:25.220
running doing things that i don't think any of us expected uh border deportations things that i that
00:00:32.380
we knew he was going to do but not to the level of what he's doing it president trump uh just
00:00:38.120
yesterday last night offering some insight into what's going to happen with gaza um we've been
00:00:44.780
over in wars in the middle east for a quarter century even longer but quarter century of recent
00:00:49.700
timing and we've gotten nothing out of it president trump now says he wants america to commandeer
00:00:55.200
gaza and take over and build it up and make it a safe haven now i think that probably is probably
00:00:59.800
one of the smartest things we've seen come out of president trump's mouth and it's one of the
00:01:03.860
smartest things we've seen uh foreign policy wise in the last quarter century we've been in these wars
00:01:09.520
like i said for years and years and we've got nothing out of it we never got any oil out of it
00:01:13.620
now we may be getting a piece of land that could be a safe haven for us in the middle east
00:01:19.280
pam bondi also being elected as attorney general by a vote of 54 to 46 late last night
00:01:24.620
uh so much to talk about the doge committee elon musk apparently sleeping in the government offices to
00:01:30.880
get some work done um president trump leaving behind some notes if iran is to act up and try to
00:01:38.720
assassinate him and successfully uh assassinate him 20 000 government employees are reportedly taking
00:01:45.760
that government uh package that donald trump is offering tariffs china mexico canada u.s aid i mean
00:01:53.980
there's so much to talk about i want to bring in mark mitchell now just to to get a running star on
00:01:58.520
this because there's so much and i don't want to leave him in the locker room mark it's great to have
00:02:02.540
you back with us on the great america show i want to first start with um trump taking over gaza announcing
00:02:07.660
for the first time in a quarter century maybe even longer we're going to get something out of a war in
00:02:13.240
the middle east this is incredible it just shows you listen i would have pulled on this if we could
00:02:20.040
have but there's no way to predict at all what's going to happen the very next day i mean just a
00:02:24.640
couple of days ago who would have thought i mean if i had heard the words usa id i would have been
00:02:30.180
like ah you know we give a lot of money to people overseas and now we know that it's funding an
00:02:35.420
astroturf anti-trump bipartisan resistance of the overthrow of the dc establishment it's incredible
00:02:42.620
we're learning this day by day and for the last year gaza has been you know a mire that nobody's
00:02:50.340
happy with in the middle east the public opinion's been kind of mixed on it because it's just a
00:02:55.060
complete clouded mess and it's been basically like the same thing it's been status quo there and then
00:03:01.780
trump comes in he's been in office for basically three weeks he does one presser and the entire world's
00:03:06.760
changed like well no it's not like some middle eastern war that we should stay clear of it's not
00:03:13.220
something where there's clear battle lines on which side we should it's like no let's think about this
00:03:17.840
as a transaction that the u.s is involved in and what's the best outcome to it and let's get to a
00:03:24.020
resolution and that's what he's doing with literally every single thing it's breathtaking and i think it's
00:03:29.840
also from a public opinion perspective it's gonna be like it's you know what i mean we're going into the
00:03:35.200
super bowl weekend if anybody hears about it at all they're not going to know what it is they're
00:03:39.640
going to either get it from axios or breitbart or whoever and move on with their lives because people
00:03:45.480
are really happy right now people are really happy with what's going on and that's not in the mainstream
00:03:50.420
media news uh headlines at all you know what i don't like america's presence overseas especially
00:03:57.000
over towards that side of the world but you know what if it kills some of our dependency on israel
00:04:01.980
to be able to be over there and have a safe haven over there and it keeps the jordan in check it
00:04:07.860
keeps lebanon in check and it keeps some of those surrounding countries in check you know what we
00:04:12.160
may finally get peace in the middle east we saw it in the first term with the abraham accords which i
00:04:17.320
repeatedly say is the only reason israel is still a standing a sovereign nation right now without them
00:04:22.180
i don't think israel is existent to this day uh with that october 7th attack but to think mark
00:04:29.440
america will occupy the gaza strip i mean yeah i didn't have that on my card has been in dispute
00:04:37.380
for a hundred years more uh who owns it uh the palestinians own it no the jews own it well now
00:04:44.940
the americans own it mark no no not the americans the real estate developer donald trump like that's
00:04:52.040
who owns it it makes sense when he put it that way he knows what to do with beachfront property
00:04:57.100
you know put another golf course there oh man this is going to make so many heads explode
00:05:03.600
i love it i mean did you ever have did you have this on your bingo card i like i said i'm surprised
00:05:08.620
each and every day i know he campaigned on things the border but mark this one i did not have this and
00:05:14.720
i find myself saying this each and every day i didn't have this on my bingo card yeah me either
00:05:19.820
and it's one of those things again from a public opinion perspective we pulled on it a couple times
00:05:25.260
the results have just been kind of like blah more people support israel than the palestines it's like
00:05:31.760
uh palestinians it's like 45 to 22 but 33 are not sure and it's like we went from
00:05:40.060
a pretty finely tuned laser pointer being used on the american psyche all the way up until the end
00:05:46.460
of october and now it's like a disco party right now it's like the spinning mirror ball and and
00:05:52.620
what's happening i don't know i think it's it's so hilarious because everybody's going in different
00:05:57.800
directions i think part of it is people are happy and are chilled out and we're going to see new
00:06:01.700
narratives form we're going to see new um like organization direction like the left is scattered
00:06:07.920
and they're trying to reform themselves and i just laugh when i see i go to reddit and i look at all
00:06:13.200
the violence that people are talking about and how they're going to try and protest tomorrow and
00:06:17.620
they're trying to recapture that antifa that black lives matter mojo they had and it's like literally
00:06:26.300
they're trying to talk about how this is a coup a coup a literal coup when the head of the executive
00:06:32.620
branch closes down a part of the executive branch and and and they're trying to get it to critical mass
00:06:40.540
and then like disney drops a fantastic four trailer it's like it's like good luck guys have
00:06:48.260
a good protest tomorrow nobody cares and i guess we'll see how performative all this is and how many
00:06:53.800
people actually show up at capital state capitals tomorrow i don't know maybe it will be a lot but
00:06:59.340
you know what hopefully it's it's some of those illegals too that ice is looking for i'm assuming this
00:07:04.340
new level of uh deportations and stuff they'll be on the lookout because i mean you save these guys a lot
00:07:10.100
of time and trouble rounding them up at these protests the la the 101 freeway you have these
00:07:14.920
guys out there protesting we're not criminals well i mean by you coming into this country first of all
00:07:20.240
he's going after the criminal criminals so the people who have uh criminal records here and before
00:07:25.160
they came here but every single person that came to this country illegally is a criminal it's just by
00:07:29.320
statute that's what it is right you know if you get caught stealing something from the store and you
00:07:34.520
get arrested it's a dollar you're still a criminal it doesn't matter it was a dollar you got caught
00:07:38.680
stealing you went to jail it was a dollar it's petty larceny petty theft whatever still a criminal
00:07:43.060
it's the same concept um you're no different but uh karen bass in la i don't think by the way i
00:07:49.900
think her time is is very short-lived there um i want to go back to usa that harboring from
00:07:55.960
thousands and thousands of people everyone blaming elon musk uh for for closing this down elon tweeting
00:08:02.480
out the following quote all doge did was check to see which federal organization were violating
00:08:07.540
at potus's executive orders the most turns out usa so become our focus i want to go through a little
00:08:14.460
bit of a list mark where did you see that quote was that a tweet i got this was a tweet by elon musk
00:08:19.240
uh february 3rd 11 0 8 p.m we've we've got the receipts here uh so uh for years like i said usa
00:08:27.980
wasting money you had pointed out wasting money let's go through a list of some of the things that
00:08:32.760
usa has been spending money because i think a lot of people don't understand what usa really is or what
00:08:37.280
they really do uh and that should scare you even more because it's just a money funnel well we know
00:08:42.200
what it is now we know what it is now but the democrats have so many apparatuses uh mark to funnel
00:08:48.720
and do deception they had the do just just three weeks ago four weeks ago mark they had the doj they
00:08:54.960
had the fbi they had usa they had the congress it was a laundry list of the apparatus don't leave
00:09:00.640
off the department of defense right exactly so here's some of uh for the last few years of what
00:09:07.020
usa spent their money on one and a half million dollars to quote advanced diversity equity and
00:09:12.240
inclusion in serbian businesses seventy thousand dollars for a dei theme musical in ireland two and
00:09:18.940
a half million dollars for electric vehicles in vietnam almost fifty thousand dollars for a
00:09:23.860
trainee operating colombia i'm sure the president of colombia was just thrilled to be there here he's
00:09:29.520
into that uh thirty two thousand dollars for a transgender comic book in peru two million dollars
00:09:35.660
for a taxpayer funded sex change and lgbt activism in guatemala six million dollars to fund tourism in
00:09:43.660
egypt millions of dollars funneled into the eco health alliance a group linked to gain a function
00:09:48.240
of research ready for this there you go in wuhan china the usa has also been caught sending hundreds
00:09:54.620
of thousands of dollars to a non-for-profit organization linked to designated terrorist groups
00:09:59.220
even after the inspector general's investigation was launched so this is just a little bit
00:10:04.400
small pennies ten million dollars five million dollars of where this money was sent but i think
00:10:10.300
it gives you an overview of just how deceptive this organization was mark um so i haven't had time to go
00:10:19.240
down the massive rabbit hole but i know an account that is a mutual follow is data republican who's put
00:10:26.480
together a chart that allows you to explore the relationship between organizations like this
00:10:31.680
and where the money flows to which is through other organizations similar to like the rockefeller
00:10:37.560
foundation i think was one of them and then it goes to a whole nother layer of ngos um and so a lot of
00:10:44.900
people say oh look at the ngos they're like aiding and abetting the invasion at our southern border
00:10:49.760
but it's like no that's your taxpayer money doing it to ourselves and one of the big recipients that
00:10:56.900
explained a lot because listen we can all conjecture about why is this happening like as our border being
00:11:02.420
invaded why all of the sudden do some of our famous conservative influencers decide to throw reason out
00:11:09.580
the window and become emotional and histrionic about donald trump well it's because they're government
00:11:15.800
welfare queens they literally got funded to be a bipartisan like astroturf resistance to donald trump
00:11:24.040
not because he's orange not because he's hitler but because he threatens their gravy train that's
00:11:31.400
literally what it came down to in fact i think the organization that uh mr william crystal appears to
00:11:38.540
have been like this is all speculation uh been tied to was founded in 2015 and i don't know when his
00:11:45.480
presidency of that organization that does nothing began but it sounds like it was obama holdovers in
00:11:52.220
usa id that were preparing for a trump term that's what it sounds like and so that's really nefarious
00:11:59.040
especially considering it was done with my hard-earned dollars it could have gone to feed my kids
00:12:02.780
and so this is like again i think looking back three weeks you know it's hard to pull on something like
00:12:10.600
this but i would say like just taking a temperature check people trusted donald trump they're happy he
00:12:16.940
got elected they think his um nominees for cabinet should have been approved and you know this is my
00:12:24.140
conjecture i think they would have probably just been happy if he had got in and say you know like
00:12:28.760
secured the border maybe done some trade deals maybe got some factories back and approved the economy
00:12:34.580
he is fundamentally changing changing in america in a way that no i don't think anybody could have
00:12:40.780
possibly predicted even this level of control of the amount of work that's gone into what we see here
00:12:49.980
i mean it does seem like elon's just under the hood ricking parts out yeah but there has to be some
00:12:55.640
strategy here they have to have thought this through and it looks like we might be in store for just
00:13:00.560
like mind-blowing for years i don't know what america is going to look like but they if they
00:13:06.300
want to change if they want to stop it they are i mean they would have to do some really evasive
00:13:12.420
actions some crazy stuff and of course they have yeah they have before but uh i by the way i want to
00:13:20.540
give an update here elon musk has changed his bio on twitter are you ready for this his new bio on twitter
00:13:26.520
is white house tech support oh man you know how many heads just exploded looking at that
00:13:33.840
oh well aoc says he's the most the least intelligible man she's ever met so that's
00:13:39.820
coming from you know i'm gonna try to be nice i won't i won't go down the rabbit hole of things that
00:13:44.280
we can go wrong about aoc but for her to say that about the world's smartest and richest man
00:13:48.580
it's sort of it's sort of laughable just a little bit um you know she's a 2028 democrat
00:13:55.820
presidential front runner at this point so please please don't speak to williver um you know you
00:14:02.040
brought up a funny point i had met some people out on the west coast of my travels over the last two
00:14:07.160
weeks and i met this couple from la they were talking about the wildfires and i had made a joke
00:14:11.560
you know if we hadn't sent a billion dollars to ukraine maybe you guys would have had running
00:14:15.360
water and they explained to me it doesn't matter if we sent the billion dollars that wouldn't have
00:14:19.840
changed the thing and then i said well you know your governor's laughing at your face and the federal
00:14:24.580
government's laughing your face offering you guys 770 dollars i'm saying here here you go you know
00:14:29.100
all the best to you and they said well that wouldn't have made a difference that wouldn't have stopped
00:14:33.340
the fires and i and i think to myself like if that's the mindset of these people who have just
00:14:38.160
lost absolutely everything there is absolutely nothing you can ever do including uh if donald trump
00:14:46.320
cured cancer or on the other side if karen bass or gavin newsom shot your dog that can make you change
00:14:52.280
your mind from this demented reality that you live in that orange man is so bad uh with i guess neo
00:15:00.000
marxism comes nihilism uh hate for things beautiful in life and resignation to a worse future um but we're
00:15:10.040
seeing optimism right now we're seeing optimism one of the things one of the most important numbers i think
00:15:15.220
i've seen in a very long time don't let me forget to talk about right direction wrong track i think
00:15:19.620
there's something newsworthy there but we asked a question do you agree or disagree um oh i want to
00:15:26.880
get the exact wording um let's do this mark let's take a quick break here uh and when we come back
00:15:33.140
we'll have some updated numbers i also want to go over president trump's approval ratings and where
00:15:36.880
they sit right now uh the way i see it they're sitting pretty damn good but i want to get your take
00:15:41.620
on i'm not the pollster i'm just the journalist i got a unique view on it yep we're coming right back
00:15:47.100

00:16:50.140
free folks we're back we're talking about mark mitchell of rasmussen reports lead pollster
00:16:57.240
one of the leading pollsters in this country right now and hopefully for years to come
00:17:01.540
mark the real clear politics average has president trump at an approval rating of 49 and a half right now
00:17:06.660
which by any measure i think is very favorable compared to how he's been polled in the past
00:17:11.680
over the last 10 years give us what you've got right now for president trump's approval
00:17:16.320
right track wrong direction right direction wrong track and where the american people sit right now
00:17:22.300
on everything he's doing well before the break we were talking about optimism i'll lead into that
00:17:27.680
donald trump has a 52 approval rating right now according to rasmussen reports with a plus seven net
00:17:34.640
approval rating that's pretty good but what i can tell you is that it's also one of the lowest
00:17:41.900
approval ratings of the beginning of any president's term which is mind-blowing he went into 2017 with a
00:17:49.100
higher approval rating but like millions of less votes and the reason that happened is because we are
00:17:55.020
we went from this protracted um political kabuki basically this red team blue team stalemate
00:18:02.960
um where at the end of the day most people didn't really care that much to an existential election
00:18:09.700
where we're almost at the brink of a civil war we're never going to see high approval ratings
00:18:14.760
for presidents again unless we either get into world war three or things change for a decade and things
00:18:22.680
have not changed for a decade yet so i think the fact that trump's above 50 makes him the highest
00:18:28.840
approval political figure of anybody right now right and even higher than things that should have a 90 approval
00:18:35.580
rating like disney donald trump has a higher approval rating than the walt disney company does right now
00:18:40.800
so that is great but in my opinion if you were going to track it the most important number
00:18:45.580
this year this term to pay attention to is right direction wrong track okay and every night along with approval
00:18:53.280
we ask voters in america is the country headed in the right direction or has it gotten off on the wrong
00:18:59.600
track we've been asking that question all the way back to before 2010 and i can tell you this the highest
00:19:05.560
right direction has ever been is 47 percent it happened once for one day and it happened in january of
00:19:15.580
2017 wow it's hit 46 percent twice it hit it this week it's at 46 percent right now and it hit it in
00:19:24.660
february of 2020 which is very unique because it was at the end of a presidential term what tends to
00:19:30.960
happen is this number starts high and then as people say oh obama he just sucks the number drops and the
00:19:37.980
number if you average it across all of our history has been about 30 percent so the fact is like february of
00:19:44.560
2020 people were getting really happy the job market was improving everybody was chilling out
00:19:50.240
they realized well like donald trump's populism is kind of working and it was all like subconscious
00:19:56.020
but then what happened is eco health alliance and the wuhan laboratory uh decided that they didn't want
00:20:03.120
to lose the 2020 election and here we are so like right direction wrong track right direction is of 46
00:20:12.100
right now wrong tracks only at 50 that is almost as good as it's been in our polling history
00:20:17.700
and so that's the number to track if that number gets higher than 47 it will be higher than it ever
00:20:25.520
has and i think what will bring us there is economic recovery and government accountability
00:20:31.360
because government trust is one of the things that's driving all this so i'm very very optimistic
00:20:37.080
about what might happen and that's what i'm looking at and it's going to take a while uh and it's going
00:20:42.200
to go down because they're probably going to now this time instead of russia asset they're probably
00:20:45.900
going to try and say that trump's china asset or something yep but what they this one like literally
00:20:51.520
people like rewind this part and listen to it twice this is the most important number i think i've seen
00:20:57.240
since the election during his inauguration speech president donald trump said the golden age of america
00:21:03.280
begins right now agree or disagree so 52 percent agree it's the same number as donald trump's approval
00:21:09.520
like that makes sense only uh 41 percent disagree but 18 to 39 year olds it's 56 percent wow these are
00:21:19.740
people these are people that voted for hillary clinton by like 40 50 points they are the most likely of
00:21:27.400
anybody um more than the 40 to 64 year olds more than the 65 and older to agree that donald trump
00:21:35.160
is beginning a golden age and so that's really important because they're the ones i mean their
00:21:40.460
their future looks bleak that debt load looks bleak there's prospects with social security in the job
00:21:47.640
market so they think trump is fixing things and they're also not the ones watching msnbc yeah so this is an
00:21:55.260
entirely new paradigm that means uh if this trend continues it's it's going to change politics
00:22:01.340
right you know i think you and i have spoken this about this before but you had mentioned super bowl
00:22:06.400
sunday is coming up in just a few days uh it'd be nice to let the audience know that the nfl has announced
00:22:12.340
they will be removing the quote n racism slogan from the end zones as it's announced that president
00:22:18.900
trump will be uh attending the super bowl uh i wonder you know i'd love to get some polls on
00:22:24.820
and statistics mark if you can uh pull some racists and see how many of them stopped becoming racist and
00:22:30.760
stopped being racist once they read that slogan on the back of the nfl i know right well if if
00:22:37.040
roger goodall says it i he must really mean it i should stop right i should jettison my entire
00:22:43.520
upbringing like mind-blowing to me um the other thing i want to talk about uh before we go into uh tariffs
00:22:52.200
is these deportation raids uh that have been going on uh we saw marco rubio meeting with the
00:22:58.560
president of el salvador who's offering to take our own mark our own criminals here in america and
00:23:05.380
house them there for a small fee a very small fee which i'm all in favor of if we can it's it's very
00:23:10.980
expensive to house uh criminals here in the prison they have all these uh crazy demands and rights you
00:23:16.280
know gluten-free meals and this and that you saw sam bankman freed going to jail by the way sam
00:23:21.720
bankman freed's parents apparently lobbying donald trump for a pardon i'm not sure that's going to
00:23:25.640
happen uh no probably more like stay away from that one yeah eric adams is probably more likely to get
00:23:32.040
one and if i were president trump to give him one and if i were to give him one i'd wait till the end
00:23:36.560
of his term just to make sure he continues to abide by uh you know all these good things that are
00:23:41.740
happening in new york like ice raids um i won't touch sam bankman freed until he reviews the uh
00:23:47.800
cia or fbi files that come along with that one definitely definitely get get yourself informed
00:23:53.320
first before you you know what with how much money that guy's giving the democrats i wouldn't even look
00:23:59.100
at him i wouldn't meet with him i wouldn't talk to his parents let him rot in hell what he did how
00:24:03.160
much money he stole from people rot in hell sam bankman freed nobody gives a damn about you or
00:24:07.600
your gluten-free meals i might say so those deportations uh actually you know what before
00:24:12.500
we get to deportations i want to talk about uh the government bailout the buyouts 20 000 people
00:24:18.720
reportedly taking those buyouts mark you know this is something that's a very very smart and people
00:24:24.820
think oh well he's getting rid of these seasoned government employees well people don't realize
00:24:29.900
those people who are saying that some of these people make a hundred dollars an hour some of them
00:24:33.900
make two hundred dollars an hour whatever they make an hour you go and hire two or three people
00:24:38.360
make the price of one you're going to run things more efficiently and you're going to have longevity
00:24:42.820
over the course of uh over things and people are taking these because some don't want to go back to
00:24:47.920
work some are old it's a very lucrative package better than probably any private sector you're going
00:24:53.980
to get out of the government um your thoughts and what are the people saying on this government buyout
00:25:00.140
well i'll get to the people first before my personal thoughts i'm coming from corporate
00:25:04.540
america where there's like zero job security um most employees of the federal government have been
00:25:10.220
working remotely since covet 19 began uh president trump announced that federal employees will be
00:25:15.460
required to return to their physical offices five days a week right and america's like like cry harder
00:25:22.000
dude like do it like 45 strongly approve 67 at least somewhat approve only 13 strongly
00:25:29.960
disapprove so america says like sorry federal government workers you're expected to be in the office
00:25:36.460
get wrecked and that's like i think i i just have to look i hadn't seen this let's look at the
00:25:43.000
democrats yep 52 majority of democrats only 23 of the democrats strongly disapprove now i'd imagine that
00:25:50.700
the federal government workers in washington dc are probably about 90 to 95 democrat so this is a pretty
00:25:57.400
strong message to them i know they're crying on reddit right now um now we did pull on the buyout
00:26:03.120
and 49 percent approve and gotta do math 44 percent disapprove so it's a plurality but you know
00:26:11.440
some not sure is basically split nobody cares nobody cares right and so this is one of those things where
00:26:17.520
it's like hey we trust trump this isn't going to change his approval rating in any way uh this is
00:26:23.060
and from like tactics i think what this was is like optics low-hanging fruit let's give people a
00:26:29.220
chance um and and really it's like maybe people who've done criminal things or are super worried
00:26:37.080
about the implications of what transparency might mean give them an out i heard there's going to be a
00:26:42.180
big spike by friday yeah so maybe we haven't seen the number but i mean these people the ones that have
00:26:49.660
been there a long time have had zero job insecurity their entire lives nope and they put america just
00:26:57.440
five years ago through a pretty rough period of job insecurity so it's like what goes around comes
00:27:03.980
around i don't care uh you know you're expected to be efficient and hard-working and i think most people
00:27:12.240
would say that they probably aren't that's and i know there's some republican conservative government
00:27:18.200
workers i know there are some hard government working government workers there's probably like
00:27:22.240
marxists that are hard working down there um but it's like you serve us yeah so sorry yep like
00:27:30.720
this long time coming i know it sucks that it's you um maybe you'll get a taste for what everybody
00:27:37.080
else has to go through yeah the people in the private sector uh the government obviously the largest
00:27:41.820
employer in the united states maybe in the world i'm not entirely sure um but uh president trump also
00:27:48.540
looking at the department of education possibly abolishing that i mean turning it back over to
00:27:53.800
the states would probably be the smartest thing you can possibly do if you live in a marxist-run
00:27:58.460
state like new york you're going to get a marxist-run education that's fine you live in a marxist-run
00:28:03.000
state like new jersey you'll get one there too from the public schooling system if you want your kids
00:28:07.380
you know have good educations you send them to red states and that'll you know that'll cripple these
00:28:11.400
states i think uh who are running their education systems maybe teach them a lesson he's also going
00:28:17.340
after the epa a thousand people thousand bureaucrats getting termination notices via email uh you know i
00:28:24.160
we've never seen mark the government is like the best place to hide if you have a job you know you
00:28:29.800
tucked away you never go anywhere uh i've never seen uh you know such a cleaning house of the place
00:28:35.820
some also some news that we have to break here for you the fbi are you ready for this has turned
00:28:41.300
over the names of 5 000 employees who worked on january 6 cases this there it is sued to block the
00:28:48.780
goj accessing the list of agents so this is not retribution this is just truth justice in the
00:28:57.140
american way uh these are the agents who barraged and and broke down people's doors grandmothers
00:29:03.760
mothers uh elderly people some who were never even at the capitol on january 6th uh harassed and
00:29:12.100
harangued uh i assume some of these are probably some of the same agents who went to school board
00:29:16.280
meetings and terrorized parents for wanting to keep men out of women's sports mark is this finally some
00:29:23.460
accountability that we're seeing out of the federal government yeah you know what's mind-blowing is that
00:29:28.320
how far into this show are we and we haven't even talked about the purge going on at the fbi yet which
00:29:33.800
is major news i mean like i i have some numbers i did a tweet yesterday it's some good context
00:29:39.860
because people are going to say well no everybody loves the fbi back the blue they're upstanding
00:29:45.180
people um you know all the stuff that sean hannity might say or whatever right and it's true like
00:29:50.820
some people do trust the fbi it's about 50 of americans um and so at the end of the day it comes
00:29:58.600
down to the context at which this accountability where is it coming from what's the mandate and i'm
00:30:03.740
just going to read some numbers here as trump purges the fbi here's how bad things got according to
00:30:08.760
voters the fbi is a danger to the freedom and security of law abiding americans only 26 strongly
00:30:17.180
disagree wow 72 percent of concern that america is a police state 60 said the fbi is likely helping
00:30:25.520
cover up biden wrongdoing the fbi has been politically weaponized starting at the top in dc
00:30:32.180
only 17 strongly disagree and 53 said the fbi is joe biden's personal gestapo so you know what blows my
00:30:40.700
mind in this whole thing is that this the biggest investigation in fbi history wasn't drug traffickers
00:30:48.520
it wasn't some money laundering network it wasn't chinese espionage it wasn't the mob it was january 6
00:30:56.140
and so i can understand how some um less than intelligent ideologues in the fbi might have thought
00:31:03.180
that they were doing uh work protecting america by pursuing these people maybe a few of them yeah but when
00:31:09.280
the biggest investigation in fbi history is non-violent american protests that admittedly
00:31:15.300
in some respects got out of control but then you literally deny people due process right and lock
00:31:22.280
them away and and give them i mean we literally have stuff in the constitution about punishment
00:31:28.020
punishments that don't fit the crime so are they withholding their oath and i'm sure a lot of them
00:31:33.960
convinced they were because maybe retirement was too sweet or all of their friends thought the same thing
00:31:38.600
or whatever but you know what it sucks to not have integrity and so bye yeah bye-bye yeah get out
00:31:44.960
yeah it's a very it's very simple concept mark i don't know what do these guys think was coming
00:31:52.480
for them i mean did they think that president trump was going to come back into office and let bygones be
00:31:56.840
bygones i mean you often hear talk about the raid on mar-a-lago agents going through his wife's
00:32:02.780
underworld drawer i mean well you just answered your own question john like what did they think
00:32:08.600
was going to happen when trump got back in office they thought their heads were going to roll and
00:32:12.880
that's why they tried to kill him like yeah like i mean it's they they were no not all of them right
00:32:22.240
but it's like okay probably thousands yeah so yeah uh it's that's like so mind-blowing to me like
00:32:30.120
you tried to kill the man twice now i don't know if it was you or your minions but we still don't know
00:32:35.520
who the hell matthew crooks is the man who took his part of his ear off um we don't know anything
00:32:41.340
about this kid that's sort of like disappeared everyone talks about governor ron de santis being
00:32:45.720
this outstanding governor well ron de santis was doing his own independent uh uh investigation of
00:32:51.640
what happened to the second assassination attempt we don't know anything about that so um you know
00:32:56.160
well i mean you raid mar-a-lago with uh authorization for use of deadly force when there's visitors
00:33:01.780
and children and trump's family right it's like why would you do that why would you make that powder
00:33:08.840
keg and they don't care right because he's a criminal they were you know what they were scared
00:33:13.000
and they authorized use of deadly force as you said you think they were scared like trump was going to
00:33:17.080
jump on an atv and run or trump was going to jump in a helicopter and run away or trump was going to
00:33:22.160
go get guns and by the way i've never even seen uh donald president trump shoot a gun obviously his
00:33:27.820
sons yes i've never even trump seen trump holding a gun on a range anywhere with the exception of in a
00:33:32.640
gun store um yet this man is going to be using deadly force not to mention he's surrounded by secret
00:33:39.320
service like how do you how did these people believe how did uh joe biden how did the doj
00:33:45.880
think that americans are going to perceive when they read because you knew it was going to get
00:33:50.240
unsealed uh a search warrant that said you approved the use of deadly force against a former president
00:33:55.880
and current front runner for the 2024 nomination and presidency they were fishing for optics and optics
00:34:04.400
are important because january 6 had some bad optics and that had an impact did it have the desired
00:34:10.880
effect that they wanted no but they got some runway out of it it was effective and so if you look at
00:34:18.080
the mar-a-lago raid if you look at i think the trump cases were all just um you know rolling the dice
00:34:24.860
trying getting something negative to run with and i think they're still going to do it now um there's
00:34:31.040
going to be some major protest there's going to get pallets of bricks dropped off they're going to try
00:34:35.600
and do stuff and it's like just to get that one clip that runs on network news except nobody watches
00:34:42.880
network news anymore and if you go on twitter they get blasted in the face so i don't know they're still
00:34:48.860
wrestling with that but they lost more than the election here they definitely did and ultimately
00:34:55.000
what it comes back i work for companies you work for companies too why do you work for companies well
00:35:00.160
to make the company more money well why do you work for the federal government yeah like what's your
00:35:06.580
work output how do you hold yourself accountable it's literally like oh you know they become
00:35:14.320
literally narcissistic power hungry like unelected leaders like that's what they they think that
00:35:22.640
they're better than america and so when they go down to mar-a-lago they say oh trump's trump's a
00:35:29.200
criminal and we're protecting america by doing this and it's the same thing that like you know
00:35:34.280
like mike ben's talking about the cia and how they view all of the nefarious things that they
00:35:39.340
ostensibly do overseas as protecting democracy well you just started a proxy war with russia how's that
00:35:45.720
for protecting democracy it probably made it a lot worse and uh i don't think there's a lot of
00:35:51.040
introspection when you mentioned narcissistic why do people work for the government and i had mentioned
00:35:55.480
job security and then you went into narcissistic the only thing i could think of was
00:35:58.780
people who work at the dmv those are the angriest people mark in the world they are so
00:36:04.220
tyrants they're extreme tyrants if you don't have what they want they send you to the back of the
00:36:09.100
line no soup for you uh it's the craziest place in the world if you're not there exactly at
00:36:15.980
uh 359 on the dot the door is closed if you want to buy a pen you got to put 25 cents into the machine
00:36:22.560
i go into that place every single time and i'm like how the hell do these people have jobs
00:36:27.360
and why are these people so angry they're probably making like 80 90 100 grand a year
00:36:32.040
they're getting a pension they sit on their asses all day behind a desk they don't have to do
00:36:36.200
anything and they're literally like control your fate and your destiny why are you so angry
00:36:41.660
yeah we just owe it to them like that's maybe that's what happens when somebody pays your salary
00:36:49.320
you're paying my salary like i'm better than you i think i'm gonna go get a job man i'm gonna go get
00:36:54.060
myself a job at the dmv and i'm gonna revoke people's licenses because it's my local one's
00:37:01.840
really good i don't know i think they might have privatized it or something i don't know you get
00:37:05.280
your appointment you go in the people are real nice you know i actually got to say mine's gotten a
00:37:09.520
lot better as well you get the appointment you go in like you just said but back in the day man when i
00:37:13.920
got my license like 15 years ago or 20 years ago it was like i mean in an insane asylum of just
00:37:20.580
angry people who were elected class uh hall monitors whose terms were ended short
00:37:26.200
now they're at the dmv getting retribution or elderly people who are paying traffic tickets and
00:37:34.860
you know getting registered in their vehicles or taking new you take a picture you can all have to
00:37:39.460
look at the picture one picture one time if it's ugly too bad and you're stuck with it for the next
00:37:43.640
10 years or like what the hell happened so wrong in your life that you're so angry at me it's like
00:37:49.780
this same thing like tsa you go through and these people are like such a power trip i'm like dude it's
00:37:55.820
a bottle of water i'm not trying to blow up a plane i love this country i love everything about it you

if iran assassinates him successfully now for president trump to leave behind a letter like
00:38:21.040
this he must believe there's some sort of credible threat uh to level that damn place to the ground i

00:39:55.340
right i identify as a genius because nobody's ever called me one before like i want to turn to
00:40:01.840
the mainstream media twitter reddit where we often get our news these days i was on a plane the other
00:40:08.220
day uh flying up from atlanta georgia back home here to new york uh when that plane crashed in washington
00:40:14.740
dc and i'm watching if i want to get news i turn to cnn if i want nonsense i'll watch fox news so i turn
00:40:23.780
on fox news obviously i don't get the story i have to admit cnn does a far better job than fox and
00:40:28.300
anybody else when it comes to breaking news and news on the ground now they're everything else is
00:40:32.520
total trash but they do have good reporters and they do get to the news so i'm i got scott jennings
00:40:36.760
right then they've got scott jennings and they're saying a small plane crashed okay so small plane i'm
00:40:43.060
like this doesn't make sense i'm looking at the this video and i'm like that ain't a small plane i'm a
00:40:47.540
pilot and that uh if a plane blows up my little cesta ain't blowing up like that i tell you that so
00:40:52.280
what do i do i gotta go to twitter mark lo and behold i put this whole situation together i find
00:40:58.960
out where the plane was coming from what kind of plane it was uh how many people were on board the
00:41:04.540
the primary people on board were ice skaters i put all that together it crashed into a blackhawk
00:41:09.780
helicopter i put all that together within the matter of five minutes when the news fox news is
00:41:15.540
multi-billion dollar corporation couldn't piece this together and put it together the mainstream media
00:41:21.640
as you mentioned in one of our segments here is dying there's no doubt about it we are the
00:41:26.380
journalists as elon musk put it uh what's your thoughts on this transformation we've taken now
00:41:32.260
um you know into this whole citizen journalism uh approach wow i i mean it's a new paradigm we all saw
00:41:42.360
it twitter helped trump way if you rewind oh man i don't want to go back too far i don't think we
00:41:49.480
would see what we're seeing now if trump had won in 2020 yes i agree okay so i think in between 2020
00:41:57.440
we saw a lot of things that changed a lot of stuff in america not least of which was the authoritarian
00:42:03.040
covid measures the mass censorship i think those were all really important but what was kind of
00:42:08.240
interesting is that as breitbart would say politics is downstream from culture and the bulk of the culture
00:42:15.480
war was won in 22 and 23 and 24 by people on like mostly youtube probably uh ripping on bad movies or
00:42:23.780
throwing comic book writers under the bus just just saying we're not going to take it anymore and i think
00:42:29.900
that was very important i think all the censorship uh culminated in i hate to use the word hive mind but
00:42:37.320
the the right did come together they boycotted bud light they did a lot of very important things
00:42:43.280
and elon musk bought twitter now that was important i think that played into the election winning too
00:42:49.840
but i think it was like finally giving us the second part of a two-part system that is twitter but twitter
00:42:59.880
is a technology and twitter is a way people use the technology and we had the technology like it was it's out
00:43:06.360
there but nobody could do what they needed to do on it because it was so oppressively censored right it
00:43:13.080
was just not and now what it is is it is literally i saw this video of the ants it was a scientific
00:43:22.320
study it was like a thousand ants and they were trying to pick up this weird shape object and move
00:43:26.960
it through a hole and they had to turn it around and they were all able to see all these synapses these
00:43:31.880
little prehistoric synapses firing at once and they can solve that puzzle faster than a human being
00:43:38.080
can and so that is what journalism now every single person on twitter is a journalism you know journalists
00:43:44.840
you you are part of the conversation now and all this information is bouncing back and forth very
00:43:50.440
rapidly and the the story that people would paint is one of misinformation oh look at how much
00:43:55.320
misinformation is on twitter but if you were to watch the master plato in a dialogue a lot of
00:44:02.720
misinformation gets said but it's objectively evaluated and corrected and they move the conversation
00:44:08.840
forward so they were talking about how that pilot was uh the trans individual and that flew around
00:44:15.800
twitter for 10 or 12 hours but by the way that's gonna cost someone a lot of money yeah yeah yeah
00:44:21.640
um but it was corrected and retracted and apologies were made and more information was found and it was
00:44:28.500
like literally part of a dialogue that people were um partaking in and that's what i that's how i think
00:44:34.820
news uh it's literally you go to the following feed and click refresh refresh and you see what people
00:44:41.560
are talking about right now can engage in it learn from it and that's refreshing because it's like you are not
00:44:47.760
turning over the keys to your brain to another human for the first time that is what's new
00:44:53.980
and fox even if they're trying they're never going to be able to give you the entire context
00:44:59.700
and that's important for something like the usa id well like they do give food to sub-saharan africa
00:45:04.980
they do send vaccines overseas right and yet they are also a horribly rotten mechanism that's used for
00:45:13.980
authoritarian purposes well it's just like the red cross tell you that they're not going to give
00:45:18.460
all of them right uh it's probably true of every single federal agency i think that we're probably
00:45:24.520
going to find a number in the two or three hundred billions in the dod of stuff that's what it was
00:45:30.040
nobody would agree with right and so i i don't know we'll have to wait and see they're auditing the
00:45:35.540
irs first but you're not getting that context and it's it's all humans all around us and what's wild
00:45:43.600
is what it's done to the left because they've said you know what i can't be part of this active
00:45:48.640
conversation right it's too much for me like i'm allergic to a discussion in which if i say something
00:45:55.980
stupid people devalue my input they didn't want it they're afraid of it i don't know maybe they don't
00:46:03.080
like this concept where everybody's not in a constant kumbaya yeah and so they go to blue sky and it's
00:46:09.900
constant kumbaya they go to reddit and it's constant um like hall monitor acne fest like it like
00:46:17.640
whatever you want to call it um trying to gin up a resistance right now but they're they're not really
00:46:24.000
evaluating objective information and arriving to conclusions so this is like what what humanity's
00:46:30.220
been missing this is like aristotle 2.0 or socrates or whoever right i'm not a classical uh phd
00:46:39.000
thank god you're probably a lot smarter because of that uh you know the thing is is they literally
00:46:45.060
can't handle the truth with about anything and they'll use any sort of tragedy or anything to
00:46:50.240
to justify their marxist views uh my best friend he's got a full family of marxists i've brought him
00:46:58.040
over to the to the right side and he's now a big trump guy but he's not just a trump guy he's a common
00:47:02.760
sense guy and he does his own diligence right and that's all i've asked him to do from the beginning
00:47:07.780
my best friend since high school uh family big biden uh biden obama supporters right and you know
00:47:14.640
that by default that's what you are i grew up a republican because my parents are republicans my
00:47:18.540
father you know was a big republican so i said you know what and i hope i've tried to look at things
00:47:24.100
objectively and i decided that this is what i believe so you know throughout the course of our
00:47:28.240
20 year plus friendship that i you know i tried to bring over to the right side and you know over the
00:47:33.240
last five years he finally got to understand and see what they've done to president trump and what
00:47:38.120
they've done to this country and he does his own diligence so he constantly we go back and forth
00:47:42.740
and send each other crazy instagram dms that we get and he sent me one recently from one of his family
00:47:49.160
members and she says this quote she sends first of all a bunch of memes calling trump a loser he isn't
00:47:54.700
always will be a loser he's a stable genius in a mind of his own chaotic energy and this is about six or
00:48:01.440
seven messages in a row since he got in the office you're ready for this one this is perhaps the
00:48:06.120
best since he got in office the universe is telling us something 20 years of no plane crashes now we've
00:48:12.680
got two in one month maybe he should reconsider profiting off the commissioners the commissions of
00:48:18.340
the 60 dollar made in china bibles he's selling he criticizes them until he needs them he's a two-faced
00:48:25.260
hypocrite did you get some of those 400 tacky trump sneakers and then sends a picture of trump behind
00:48:32.680
bars i mean these people are mental mark there's no and this is the problem i have jokingly make fun
00:48:41.500
of these people but it's really truly bad and sad that you can't uh uh reason with these people i'd
00:48:49.500
mentioned to you in a commercial break about uh a comment someone intimated me while i was over in
00:48:53.800
colorado skiing about my trump hat someone else had mentioned to me he's a dictator and when you
00:48:59.180
ask them what makes him a dictator they move on to the next uh they move on to the next edge well
00:49:05.160
he's a racist no no but i asked you what made him a dictator he's a misogynist yeah but no now i want
00:49:10.860
to know what makes him a racist and a dictator i know we've all had that conversation no but it's
00:49:16.640
literally more it's you're literally talking circles and i don't mind wasting the time because
00:49:22.060
this is what i do for a living right i i get paid to argue with people and to argue so i don't mind
00:49:27.580
it i don't mind the debate but you can sit there for two hours with these people mark and at the end
00:49:32.860
of the two hours you'll be no further closer to bringing these people to any sense of reality
00:49:38.260
yeah like listen jesus christ gave us a soul and if we can't have internal logical consistency are we any
00:49:46.240
better than an animal just responding to impulses as the i mean seriously what kind of human being
00:49:52.760
do you want to be i think about those messages you got sent and it blows my mind because like i post a
00:49:58.260
lot of jokes and memes and i make caustic commentary but it's like okay i'm either making an observation
00:50:04.400
and i try to make the observation fair but also funny or i'm trolling somebody or i'm ridiculing
00:50:10.940
somebody that said something stupid in a way like to their face like hey you're being kind of like
00:50:15.660
back off evaluate the way in which i'm proving you wrong in a hilarious manner but that what you're
00:50:22.040
looking at that's like that that's like an emotional temper tantrum that's like lashing out in
00:50:29.600
uncontrollable rage like a two-year-old that had a toy taken away from them yeah who are these human
00:50:35.120
beings like what developmental phase did they not go through and it's they're having like we talked
00:50:40.980
about reddit that's where the temper tantrum is happening right now and listen reddit's a mess
00:50:47.380
it has a lot of systems that could be used against us anonymous moderators with sheer power that they
00:50:55.280
can use to craft narratives probably every intel agency in the entire world um but also some real
00:51:02.040
humans and man they are getting violent just in the last day or two it's extreme stuff of doxing
00:51:07.960
people death threats coming after doge and it's new they're really testing the limits some major
00:51:15.280
subreddits had to get shut down um i think they and reddit's like the fifth people might not know
00:51:21.020
what it is it's the fifth largest website in the u.s and i honestly think it's one of the reasons that
00:51:26.520
trump won in 2016 because there was a very pro trump subreddit that got shut down and censored
00:51:32.300
but the way it is now it looks like it is the mental emotional ideological core of the new left
00:51:41.700
resistance because people on blue sky are just sharing nature photos so um and you know i guess
00:51:48.140
there's probably some people on tiktok too but i'll tell you reddit is really mad in a way where
00:51:52.900
they might be testing section 230 protections i really do think that reddit might have some
00:51:57.060
problems um because none of this stuff is getting really shut down and it's just getting worse and
00:52:02.820
worse it's like they're they're trying to be edge lords it's mostly probably 30 40 year old white
00:52:08.120
liberal affluent women who are begging some stupid man to go out and do violence for them right like
00:52:15.700
that's what that's what's probably happening or it's fed boys or it's the fed boys they uh they put
00:52:23.580
their khakis on by day and then go home and type on reddit by night or maybe it's i mean there is
00:52:28.400
fed news is a subreddit to follow it's ostensibly federal workers who have been such upstanding career
00:52:36.120
um public servants for their entire lives and they just can't stomach this new shift this new uh
00:52:44.020
fascism this new coup that's taking over their government their government so they're other
00:52:52.980
ones what goes through their mind like what brainwashes them nobody makes that much money
00:52:59.020
in the government i mean the highest paid government employees supposed to be the president united states
00:53:02.820
at just under four hundred thousand dollars a year you can make far more much more money than that in
00:53:06.620
the private sector most government employees i'd say probably topped out the end of their career
00:53:11.960
make somewhere in the 150 to 250 range um i'm not selling my soul for 250 000 a year mark and a
00:53:19.540
pension it's going to take a lot more than that maybe two and a half million dollars a year in a
00:53:23.840
pension something like that what is like takes possession of these people that they're so sold on a
00:53:30.440
six-figure pension now i know it's nice and all and i'm not undercounting that i'd you know love to get
00:53:35.440
a pension uh you know i'm jealous of everybody who has one because it's a great thing to have but
00:53:40.620
like what possesses you to become such a demonic figure that you're willing to sell yourself for
00:53:46.640
any amount of money by that matter i joke that i'd be sold for two and a half million dollars but i
00:53:51.640
wouldn't be i your soul and your conscience are two things that you can't get back mark and they're
00:53:56.240
two things that'll eat you alive i really don't know how to answer this one i wish i knew more
00:54:02.320
and maybe i'll find the right friend that lives down in dc who will open up and tell me but a lot
00:54:08.140
of the people i've talked to i talked to rahim about it and he he doesn't know the entire extent i mean
00:54:13.300
he'll tell you that the city is corrupt and that he has and here's the list of his problems but like
00:54:18.100
the question is why and how and it's such a deep thing but it needs to be fixed um i made a tweet
00:54:25.000
that's like i guess we're gonna test my long-running theory that dc is occupied territory because i do think
00:54:31.320
there's going to people be people that overtly resist i think a lot of them it's like okay you
00:54:35.800
don't want you don't earn a lot of money but you do important work so you convince yourself that your
00:54:40.700
work is super important and then somebody comes in and kicks your sandcastle down i'm sure that
00:54:44.720
is kind of tough i think part of it is never having to really put it's like okay you're a public servant
00:54:50.640
but does it feel like that in dc are you really putting somebody else's needs because when you're in
00:54:55.500
private sector you have a customer and shareholders and those are real palpable things and i mean i'm
00:55:01.880
probably going to get a lot of flack for saying stuff like this but i'm sure some of them are
00:55:05.280
selling stuff to china i'm sure it's happening maybe five maybe 50 000 i don't know i'm sure some
00:55:11.660
of them probably you know a lot of them don't work in the office i don't know how many maybe they run
00:55:17.620
uber routes i have no idea maybe they have an entire private sector life a private sector job they do
00:55:23.300
while they're on the governmental i don't know or maybe they're getting some of that usa id money
00:55:27.840
like maybe they say hey welcome to dc this is how it works here this is your secret paycheck
00:55:33.060
gotta hate trump yeah i don't know like you know i'm gonna talk about this on my show and ask people
00:55:40.660
in the chat like it's a really important question but there's something about the potomac that just
00:55:45.840
corrupts the hell out of people yeah it's definitely corrupt and uh i don't know how you really get it
00:55:53.100
out of there it's it's it's it's something that perplexes me i think it's something that perplexed
00:55:57.560
the great lou dobbs and why he never wanted to go down to the swamp he hated dc hated going down
00:56:02.480
there and i think it was part of the reason where he wouldn't have taken a job in this administration
00:56:06.280
he could have worked for president trump in the first administration could have worked for him this
00:56:10.440
this time around had he still been alive but i don't think he would have ever taken a job because
00:56:14.860
he hated going down to that place there's something about it that's truly demonic uh the people
00:56:19.520
not all of the people but most of the people inside and outside the beltway just bad people
00:56:24.700
um and who they work for i don't know who their higher power is i don't know is it jesus christ
00:56:29.880
doesn't seem so by the way that they act um that's just the truth of the matter i want to turn to um
00:56:36.980
pam bondy as we go into that and some tariff news pam bondy uh finally accepted to be our next
00:56:44.340
attorney general by a vote of 54 to 46 um do you have faith and confidence in her that she's going
00:56:51.080
to do a good job to carry out the america first agenda and these uh this massive role she's she's
00:56:57.820
taken on uh doing everything that president trump wants done uh i can tell you that people generally
00:57:05.760
wanted trump's cabinet appointment appointees through uh number for her is probably 52 or 53 i can't
00:57:11.820
remember um but i can also tell you that people aren't happy with the state of the department
00:57:15.920
of justice the department of justice has reached an intolerable state of politicization and this is
00:57:23.360
before trump was prosecuted like across the country i know it's like stny is not the doj but you know it
00:57:32.560
it was a somewhat coordinated affair 57 agreed with that statement 41 strongly only 24 strongly disagreed
00:57:41.420
so that it's like it it needs to be fixed so this is the mandate it's like you could say trump has a
00:57:47.080
52 approval rating right but 50 almost 60 percent of people even before this stuff happened and we had
00:57:53.720
um a number i think it was 64 that said the doj has been politically weaponized it is persecuting
00:58:00.300
political opponents so i mean it's like there's the mandate and if you asked me two weeks ago i would
00:58:05.580
have said about pam bondy i'm like oh i'm sure that trump's people are going to get in there and have
00:58:10.620
their marching orders and do some stuff i think we're going to see shock and awe now i think we're
00:58:16.440
going to see massive announcements about sweeping investigations that are are going to be things that
00:58:23.080
we never dreamed of because i could like the amount of like rico cases off the top of my head that i could
00:58:28.700
list that i want to see it's like who unable enable the southern border right where does act blue get its
00:58:35.540
money like you know what like these are all things that we need the answers to 2020 election
00:58:43.360
there's at least five cases there and hold on one second you mentioned rico and the only thing that
00:58:50.880
comes to mind mark the only two people that i can think of who were charged with rico was two
00:58:55.360
elderly elderly men donald trump and rudy june patty yeah right i know
00:59:00.360
well it's like we just go ahead we're going to see thousands of fbi heads roll as let's not use
00:59:09.520
the retribution word let's use the accountability word the accountability for january 6th i guess that
00:59:16.540
i guess meets back on the menu like that's where it's going and i'm i'm here for it because there's
00:59:23.420
a lot of criminals down in dc and they should be scared yeah you mentioned uh no retribution we can
00:59:29.060
you can make a nice acronym retribution accountability and maybe truth the acronym will be rat
00:59:35.280
there you go yeah oh man because it's you know people think of retribution as a bad word it's not
00:59:42.680
a bad word what like we said two segments ago what did you expect was going to happen did you think
00:59:48.300
donald trump was going to roll over on his back and take it no even if he lost which there was no way
00:59:54.640
my humble opinion that he could have possibly lost his last election uh according to your polling
01:00:00.080
probably agree with me on that um well it came close but there was no way he was going to take
01:00:05.960
this even as a private citizen he would have fought tooth and nail he would have probably been fighting
01:00:09.740
by himself but um you know that's what he's done from the beginning anyway let's turn to real quickly
01:00:15.620
here uh president trump and iran sending billions of dollars obama did to iran nuclear program that
01:00:22.900
they have they could probably launch a nuclear weapon at any time they want um probably to um
01:00:29.520
our great demise but president trump leaving a letter behind his commanders and chief saying
01:00:34.840
if they assassinate me if they somehow figure out a way to take me out i want you to level the damn
01:00:40.180
place what's your thoughts uh probably made obama mad i don't know uh we we have not pulled on iran in
01:00:50.740
a long time uh i can tell you that well the last time we asked who's america's biggest enemy as we
01:00:58.780
uh approach the end of 2024 the number one enemy was democrat party oh wow yeah i can see that and it
01:01:06.380
was china then it was republicans because of democrats who answered the question uh then it
01:01:11.920
was russia so russia's not even at the top and iran was like if if they were even in the question
01:01:17.420
this time they were like a distant number five or six at like four or five percent so maybe that's
01:01:22.880
just because they're not like to have been blamed something recently and people it's here's what it is
01:01:28.260
it's like the the nebulous threat of future nuclear uh implications is not worse than the current
01:01:36.860
situation in america and that's why iran has fallen off the list of problems um and so
01:01:43.800
like i mean yeah great if they do i don't know i don't know if they have an ability to retaliate
01:01:51.980
against this at all we probably shouldn't have a nuclear iran um but it is not on
01:01:58.180
anybody's radar right now and uh you know we got bigger problems yeah yeah bigger problems is is
01:02:05.740
true southern border one of them el salvadorian president i mean with marco rubio saying he's
01:02:11.160
willing to take back our this is another one i keep saying the bingo card i didn't have this on my
01:02:15.580
bingo card never did i hear a president of a country offer to take criminals that don't belong to his
01:02:21.860
country that committed no crimes in his country and uh store them for a small fee i mean is this just
01:02:27.600
the power of trump yeah he's turned everybody into a deal maker that's what it is the art of the deal
01:02:34.800
baby good for him take something you're good at and you know monetize it i think what we should be
01:02:42.300
monetizing is dei consultants it could be our greatest export this year yeah people can put tariffs on those
01:02:49.280
or whatever i don't know i think that'd be hilarious uh i think it's great i mean i think we have a
01:02:54.540
problem with our prison systems i hope that prison systems will be a growth opportunity in the united
01:03:00.680
states because we got a ton of violent criminals here we have a ton of white collar political
01:03:05.800
criminals right and maybe you know trump could cut a deal with him and say listen we can't take u.s
01:03:11.900
citizens and imprison them on foreign soil but we could do is annex the ground under the prison
01:03:18.780
for a forward base and have like you know make some deal like have some good relationship with
01:03:25.420
that country and ship people ship people off to a prison that's a lot better than the one that they
01:03:32.600
would go to here the one a lot better than the one menendez is going to i mean better like meaning
01:03:37.520
way way worse right he can't get there soon enough i want to wrap up with you of course we're talking
01:03:44.480
about the art of the deal the art of the seal and the art of the steel uh president trump uh working
01:03:50.500
tariffs china is the only country who's not willing to play ball uh because you know they don't want to
01:03:56.380
stop selling fentanyl in this country why the hell would they want to do that uh but canada and mexico
01:04:01.040
shine bomb and trudeau both uh laying down and and uh taking it from president trump the what's your
01:04:08.400
thoughts on how we move forward now post uh uh uh i said pardons uh post tariffs um this is an
01:04:18.740
interesting one i think my biggest take on this watching what's going on and again like the ability
01:04:24.960
to predict and pull on this one is really hard i just searched tariffs and we didn't have anything
01:04:30.880
since like 2019 you favor or oppose the use of u.s tariffs on mexico goods to force mexico to
01:04:38.480
strengthen its efforts to stop legal immigration and illegal drugs from entering the country so pretty
01:04:43.400
salient 46 favored 40 opposed but what's wild to me is the biggest thing i saw is msnbc um trying to say
01:04:53.780
that trump's plan to tariff these people met a humiliating end um because he capitulated and
01:05:02.160
postponed the tariffs and it's they literally don't they either don't understand the art of the deal
01:05:08.340
or i mean literally doing mental gymnastics to spin this isn't trump loss we all know what was
01:05:15.300
happening when i saw that tweet oh trump's meeting with trudeau later today i said oh there you go
01:05:22.660
you know time until uh canada caves as well like four hours and sure enough he got off the phone with
01:05:30.340
them and trudeau with his tail between his legs so this is like the the current state of our relationship
01:05:37.040
with mexico and canada is exactly what it should be our um we have an alignment of interests we made a
01:05:45.760
deal we're working together there's communication we respect each other's borders and there's an
01:05:52.140
opportunity for future um you know relationships with them like over trade or whatever they know
01:05:58.900
who's boss now and it's us and that's that's not going to be on the headlines in msnbc what's the
01:06:05.680
saying who's your daddy yeah it's certainly donald j trump mark we could talk for hours and hours on end
01:06:12.720
and uh there's there's always so much that we can talk about we're a little bit over on time but that's
01:06:18.180
fine i'm sure people won't be too upset uh you get the concluding thoughts here uh the floor is
01:06:23.300
yours on anything you want to talk about uh your concluding thoughts it's like it's everything like
01:06:32.440
it's literally here in a way that people talked about conservatism 10 years ago this is different
01:06:39.380
this is literally brutal overhaul of the federal government ripping pieces out root and stem on the
01:06:47.840
fly yeah every day it's a new one every day and so in many ways this presents an existential crisis
01:06:56.860
for a very dangerous and cornered animal right now and i don't know even who that is other than
01:07:03.440
the creature on the potomac this kleptocracy this uh loosely united group of aligned interests whose
01:07:12.760
goal is to enrich themselves at the expense of the taxpayer the taxpayer is getting retribution right
01:07:19.000
now brutal retribution and i don't know where it's going to go the entire overton window is broken
01:07:24.780
right now the polling is just like hey you know the the country has become a populist country you know
01:07:32.700
about 55 to 60 percent of them on almost every topic maybe they don't like trump that much but
01:07:38.580
if i were you guys i would not look at any mainstream media headlines nobody is anymore they're just lying
01:07:43.640
to you it's a pathetic last minute like they're going to drag it out as long as possible until every
01:07:49.780
single one of them gets fired off the air the conversation is on twitter and this is a brave new
01:07:55.180
world for public opinion i really i mean because i would i could look at things in the past and say man
01:08:00.540
voters are stupid you dangle a shiny object in front of them they go for it that we're not there
01:08:05.560
anymore this is totally totally different so uh i look forward to it and we're going to cover it
01:08:10.660
and um we've got some good polling coming up too we even polled on the nfl and a pretty large number
01:08:18.920
of people think that um referees are actually fixing the outcome of games
01:08:23.900
that'll be friday and people could come check out we're on now episode three of our new live show

01:09:15.320
real quick real quickly you had mentioned uh the enemy inside the potomac and who this enemy is
01:09:22.700
is very simple to me the enemy is anyone who stands in the way that's who the enemy is so it'll be very
01:09:28.880
