00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us happy friday
00:00:07.140 we made it through another week here in america folks and it seems things uh maybe uh on the
00:00:12.760 uprise here in america and i think uh us as americans we're all waiting for one thing we're
00:00:17.980 waiting for this damn thing and i ran to wrap up and finally be done with so we can take this thing
00:00:23.200 back home to America and get the golden age back on track, get this America first institution back 0.99
00:00:30.860 on track, get everything back here, steamrolling like a locomotive train. So the big news tonight
00:00:37.580 happening just moments ago, President Trump has announced he's sending an envoy over to Pakistan,
00:00:47.020 is on about Pakistan tomorrow afternoon for another round of negotiations with Iran in which
00:00:53.200 Iran will take place. I'm sorry, take part in these negotiations this time. Now, it was reported
00:01:00.480 earlier this week that J.D. Vance was supposed to head there, I believe, on Tuesday, where he was
00:01:06.080 set to negotiate with them once again. And that trip was pulled this time around. The White House
00:01:12.780 is reporting that J.D. Vance is quote unquote on standby but won't be joining Whitcoff and Kushner
00:01:20.080 on this trip. It's a little bit interesting there. The White House didn't have much to offer on it
00:01:26.960 but Caroline Leavitt had this to say at a quick gaggle. The president was flexible in granting
00:01:32.520 an extension of the ceasefire throughout this time. The president has decided to dispatch
00:01:38.320 Special Envoy Whitcoff and Jared Kushner back to Islamabad.
00:01:43.060 The Iranians want to talk.
00:01:44.880 They want to talk in person.
00:01:46.060 And so the president is, as I've said many, many times to all of you,
00:01:49.360 always willing to give diplomacy a chance.
00:01:51.180 So Steve and Jared will be heading to Pakistan tomorrow to hear the Iranians out.
00:01:56.160 We hope progress will be made and we hope that positive developments
00:01:59.040 will come from this meeting and we will see.
00:02:02.180 And the president, the vice president, the secretary of state will be waiting
00:02:05.560 here in the United States for updates, and the vice president, I understand, is on standby
00:02:10.660 and will be willing to dispatch to Pakistan if we feel it's a necessary use of his time.
00:02:16.260 So I think rather interesting, the vice president of the United States,
00:02:21.720 who's been integral in these negotiations thus far,
00:02:28.500 who's been there every negotiation so far
00:02:33.540 won't be joining him on this trip.
00:02:37.560 And the reason I find it odd is because this could be a huge part
00:02:41.780 for J.D.'s political career.
00:02:44.780 Should a ceasefire happen?
00:02:47.260 Should this thing come to an end?
00:02:48.780 And J.D. Vance is there to make it all work.
00:02:52.520 It adds a huge, huge, huge plus to his political resume.
00:02:59.920 But this time around, it'll only be Mr. Steve Whitcoff and Jared Kushner.
00:03:07.260 Now, the reason I, and I want to get back to J.D. in just a second and some of the other work that J.D. has been tasked with doing, because I think J.D. is doing a terrific job.
00:03:16.960 And I do think there is a little bit of a disconnect.
00:03:19.300 And this was told to me by people very close to it between President Trump and J.D. Vance.
00:03:28.020 J.D. Vance wants this thing wrapped up as soon as possible because the polling shows it's it's it's not what the country wants.
00:03:37.780 So I think J.D. has wanted this thing done.
00:03:41.820 A lot faster than it's been going and doesn't want this thing to drag on any further.
00:03:46.920 He wants gas prices down. He wants things to come back here, as I said, to America.
00:03:53.640 He wants the America first golden age back on track where we had it just a few months ago before this whole thing started.
00:04:02.680 So the interesting part about it all, this is where I find it rather interesting, is this article out today from Politico.
00:04:12.660 And it reads as follows. The headline, White House insiders see Rubio on the rise, potential 2028 pick.
00:04:22.240 A once long shot candidate, Rubio's record as one of the Myers in the White House among the MAGA base.
00:04:29.940 Now, you folks may recall I spoke about this, I don't know, maybe six months ago with Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports.
00:04:38.300 And I had said, you know, looking at J.D., and I like J.D., and I got blowback from this from people.
00:04:45.860 They're like, oh, well, don't go after J.D. He's doing a great job.
00:04:48.920 I have no personal beef with J.D. I like J.D. a lot.
00:04:51.960 I think he's awesome.
00:04:53.260 To have a young vice president, young kids, beautiful wife, a dog, you know, he's the American family.
00:05:02.120 I have no personal animal.
00:05:03.220 I've spoken to it strictly from my political background and what I believe to me.
00:05:09.300 So I got a lot of blowback from it on Mark's channel and a little bit on my channels that J.D.'s not going to be the nominee.
00:05:17.480 And I said, it's so far out.
00:05:19.840 And if we would have looked back four years ago and everyone would have said, oh, Mike Pence is going to be the nominee.
00:05:26.940 And we saw what happened there.
00:05:28.260 I'm not saying J.D. Vance is anything like Mike Pence because he's not.
00:05:31.400 but he said give it some time there's plenty of time between now and then and there's a lot of
00:05:38.340 things that can happen and case in point so the article that's out today from political
00:05:44.000 reads as follows some of president donald trump's closest confidants increasingly see
00:05:48.460 marco rubio as a serious 2028 contender as acknowledgement of the floridians savvy
00:05:53.960 handling of foreign conflicts and his ability to avoid political landmines now roger stone told
00:06:00.340 us on this show, I think two weeks ago, that he sat in the Oval Office with Marco Rubio,
00:06:05.900 where Marco Rubio said he would not run if J.D. Vance decides to run. So I think the only way
00:06:11.980 that this is practical, according to what Roger has told us, and I've heard this from sources
00:06:15.860 inside the administration as well, the only way this happens is if J.D. decides not to run.
00:06:23.120 And I've been told from people inside that J.D.'s not even 100% on running yet.
00:06:31.100 The people close to J.D. have confirmed.
00:06:34.520 So this is why I find it interesting.
00:06:37.220 It's a striking turnaround for a politician once dismissed as too hawkish to establishment to be scared by a failed 2016 presidential campaign to matter in a post-Trump GOP.
00:06:51.080 but his work on deposing Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro
00:06:54.280 and his steadfast loyalty to President Trump
00:06:55.960 have boosted him in the West Wing of the White House
00:06:58.720 and among some MAGA voters.
00:07:00.160 I'm sorry, folks.
00:07:01.120 Print is so small for me to read, I can barely see it.
00:07:05.280 Rubio has said that he would not challenge,
00:07:08.200 so there you go, for the nomination.
00:07:10.580 It remains to be seen whether this conversation to MAGA politics
00:07:15.220 could win a majority of Trump's base if he did run.
00:07:19.140 For now, his growing number of admirers in presidential inner circle
00:07:25.380 describe Rubio's belated embrace to Trumpism as a selling point.
00:07:31.400 Trump loves the zeal of covert, and it's welcome to contrast
00:07:35.680 to some old-school Republican elites who shunned the party
00:07:39.400 or avoided Washington rather than reconcile with the president.
00:07:43.940 So this is why I think it comes at a very, very interesting time
00:07:48.720 with J.D. not being on that trip.
00:07:56.360 Now, this quote comes from Alex Bruchowitz,
00:07:58.980 who's one of President Trump's top advisors out on the outside.
00:08:02.080 J.D. Vance is a fantastic vice president.
00:08:03.900 Marco Rubio is a great secretary of state.
00:08:06.200 Rubio could have gone on two routes in the 2016 campaign.
00:08:10.380 He could have gone the route of John Kasich
00:08:12.620 and begin to suffer from Trump derangement syndrome
00:08:14.900 and fade into the abyss,
00:08:15.920 referring to the former Ohio governor
00:08:18.900 who ran against Trump in 2016
00:08:20.720 and endorsed Biden in 2020.
00:08:23.360 But Rubio, he chose the root of embracing MAGA
00:08:26.100 and becoming one of MAGA's staunchest allies
00:08:28.340 and advocates, senior White House official,
00:08:31.860 who, like others in this article,
00:08:33.120 granted anonymity to discuss the matter.
00:08:35.520 Candidly describes Rubio as loyal, wicked smart,
00:08:38.720 articulate, and very seasoned,
00:08:40.980 and that he is a winner.
00:08:42.300 Now, as I said, Trump has not endorsed anybody, not said anything, but I think it comes at a very, very interesting time that J.D.'s not on that trip, and this article comes out today on Marco Rubio.
00:09:08.340 Very interesting.
00:09:09.480 The timing on it is very interesting.
00:09:11.620 There's some other things happening inside the White House.
00:09:13.400 We're going to take a quick break.
00:09:14.260 We're live tonight for The Great America Show.
00:09:16.020 We're going to take a quick break, but there's some other stuff happening inside the White House from Susie Wiles.
00:09:20.820 Susie has a demand inside the White House, and I think you guys are going to like it.
00:09:26.200 So much more to get to.
00:09:28.020 There are some people speaking out against the redistricting in Florida.
00:09:33.540 DOJ wrapping up its criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
00:09:37.520 We're taking all that up and much, much more, folks.
00:09:39.600 On the other side of this quick break, we'll be back in less than 60 seconds,
00:09:42.340 so please stay with us.
00:09:49.240 Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show,
00:09:52.120 and happy Friday.
00:09:53.020 We appreciate you guys joining us live for The Great America Show on a Friday night.
00:09:57.700 We know you guys all have plans, you guys all have lives,
00:10:00.920 So we appreciate you spending any amount of time with us, like I say, especially on a Friday.
00:10:05.220 So going off the Rubio and Vance thing, and like I said, this is not my personal take on it.
00:10:12.980 Some people get twisted saying, you know, well, that's your, you know, you shouldn't be doing this or that.
00:10:18.160 It's not my personal take on it.
00:10:20.480 I'd support either one of them.
00:10:22.560 And I'm a kind of guy where I say, you know, let the chips fall where they may.
00:10:26.460 And there's so much time, which is why I really don't talk about it often.
00:10:30.920 There's so much time before the midterm elections, before the 2028 primary, and then ultimately the elections.
00:10:40.100 So that's why I don't get too caught up on it.
00:10:42.600 But it's certainly relevant today with this trip upcoming and then that Politico article coming out in conjunction with it.
00:10:49.340 I don't believe in coincidences.
00:10:50.800 So that's why we covered it.
00:10:52.520 So turning now to some more news out of the White House,
00:10:55.440 Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is reportedly limiting the amount of overseas travel that cabinet members can take heading into the midterm elections, according to people inside the White House.
00:11:05.200 Wiles repeatedly reportedly told staff in February that they should only be leaving the country when absolutely necessary, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting.
00:11:15.780 Now, the change comes ahead of what some, including Trump himself, will be possibly a brutal midterm for Republicans.
00:11:27.200 Now, early in Trump's second term, his cabinet officials were taking regular trips abroad.
00:11:32.840 And America First has certainly spoken out and opposed it because they want things back home here in America.
00:11:43.300 So two insiders who were privy to this conversation said that all cabinet-level international travel has now to be cleared by Susie Wiles.
00:11:56.600 Quote, all trips are run through cabinet affairs.
00:12:00.340 The international ones are on a case-by-case basis, but they definitely want you to focus on domestic travel.
00:12:06.660 There's been some pushback to the new travel policy.
00:12:10.660 a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said in a statement that foreign travel is
00:12:14.300 important to the work the federal agencies undertake. The agency noted that Trump and
00:12:19.160 his trade officials have traveled the world to successfully negotiate over two dozen trade deals,
00:12:24.460 expanding unprecedented market access to American farmers and ranchers.
00:12:29.340 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, she's taken historic and unprecedented role in the
00:12:34.360 boost of American market access, contrasting meeting with American exporters and key foreign
00:12:39.280 government counterparts. She says there's key markets to ease trade
00:12:43.340 barriers, while the USDA, undersecretary of trade and foreign
00:12:46.700 agriculture affairs, Luke Lindbergh, has visited over two dozen countries
00:12:51.200 in the last year. So, this
00:12:55.340 could be the 2026 midterm effect
00:12:59.260 in full effect, which
00:13:03.300 is what we spoke about at the top of the show, bringing it back home to America.
00:13:06.580 bringing it back to America first.
00:13:09.960 And if they can certainly get this war wrapped up in the next month, two months, 0.90
00:13:16.800 it gives them, I think, ample time.
00:13:22.560 The problem is with the midterm elections,
00:13:25.080 and anyone who's worked on political campaigns will tell you this,
00:13:27.960 is the summer is dead.
00:13:30.920 Everything dies in the summer politics.
00:13:32.960 Our show numbers, campaign fundraising, people just want to tune it out.
00:13:39.780 People want to spend their time in the summer and they want to relax with their kids and their grandkids and their family and all that.
00:13:45.600 And we totally understand.
00:13:47.660 So you look now, June, July and August are sort of dead months and the first probably two weeks of September as well.
00:13:56.280 So it really leaves you October and two weeks in November as well as May. 0.86
00:14:03.940 So wrapping this thing up in Iran is pretty critical and pretty crucial to not just the midterm elections, but there and beyond.
00:14:14.540 Now, I want to go back to J.D. Vance for a quick second and some of the work that he's been doing. 0.96
00:14:20.860 And one of those roles is the task force to eliminate fraud and the wins that they've ranked up throughout this last month,
00:14:30.060 including what's suspected to be more than $6 billion in fraudulent government contract.
00:14:36.260 It's only been five weeks since President Trump launched the Anti-Fraud Task Force
00:14:39.980 and tapped demands to be the chair,
00:14:42.000 but it's put together a pretty productive April after hitting the ground running in March.
00:14:46.760 Just last week, the task force had found that 400 businesses suspected of fraud
00:14:51.620 had received contracts, many of which came during the Biden era.
00:14:56.380 The task force, along with the General Services Administration,
00:14:59.280 beginning to send out a letter to those nearly 400 businesses with government contracts that
00:15:03.180 they believe could be fraudulent. They must provide evidence of their legitimacy, including
00:15:08.820 physical address within 30 days. Now, just a week later, on April 15th, it was reported that
00:15:14.500 Los Angeles hospices, a number of them, were suspended for potential fraud that has risen.
00:15:20.620 447 hospice centers in los angeles and 23 home health agencies suspected of fraud in la with
00:15:29.380 total fraud estimate of more than 600 million dollars the next day the department of agriculture
00:15:35.160 had announced that it executed search warrants for alleged snap benefit trafficking in minnesota
00:15:40.620 as part of operation cold snap there you go minnesota again agriculture secretary brooke
00:15:48.440 Rollins emphasized that Vance's task force powered this operation,
00:15:52.420 which led to more than 20 alleged fraud snap retailers.
00:15:57.240 This week, federal government took additional steps to address fraud.
00:16:01.760 Department of Justice, under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche,
00:16:07.400 announced that they made it a $300 million available to prosecute fraud
00:16:13.580 and drug trafficking and other offenses.
00:16:16.360 On Thursday, yesterday, Centers for Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz sent a letter to every governor in the union requesting their Medicaid programs to undertake swift revitalization of Medicare providers' services at high risk of waste, fraud, and abuse, and corruption.
00:16:39.260 So this is J.D. Vance, and Oz gave them 10 days to respond.
00:16:43.880 This is all done, folks.
00:16:46.360 in just a month's time.
00:16:48.780 Now, it makes it a little bit easier, I think,
00:16:51.120 when you've got guys like Nick Shirley running around,
00:16:54.020 doing the Lord's work,
00:16:55.780 going to these places and exposing them.
00:17:00.620 But this has been just a month.
00:17:03.780 Now, we still need our Justice Department to investigate.
00:17:08.760 We still need our Justice Department
00:17:10.820 to get to the bottom of everything.
00:17:13.420 but this alone is jd vance being tasked with doing something and getting it done let's take
00:17:22.620 one more quick break here folks on the great america show we're live tonight so let us know

00:18:14.040 We're live tonight for The Great America Show.
00:18:17.200 Like always, we appreciate you turning in and tuning in to The Great America Show,
00:18:22.180 especially on a Friday with the weather outside.
00:18:25.080 Nice, so we appreciate you guys once again.
00:18:28.120 Summers Point, New Jersey.
00:18:29.400 Chris Holmes in the house.
00:18:31.400 Appreciate you tuning in with us tonight here.
00:18:34.820 So, folks, let's get to some more news, why don't we, before we send you off on your weekend.
00:18:40.060 A D.C. district court, of course, you can already expect how they ruled just by me telling you the name of the court.
00:18:46.740 This afternoon, blocking President Trump's policy from barring illegal aliens from seeking asylum.
00:18:52.100 February, the anti-American ACLU and Las Americas Immigration Advocacy Center sued Trump's administration over its asylum policy.
00:19:00.820 A federal judge last July blocked President Trump's policy banning illegals who crossed the border from seeking asylum.
00:19:07.760 U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, said that President Trump does not have the authority to bypass immigration laws that Congress had enacted.
00:19:17.200 President Trump appealed Judge Moss's decision, and today we had a ruling from a three-judge panel in a two-to-one decision.
00:19:25.700 Judge J. Michelle Childs, who was appointed by Joe Biden.
00:19:28.720 Judge Cornelia Pillard, appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, voted against Trump while Judge Justin Walker, President Trump appointee, dissenting in his part. 0.99
00:19:40.740 The courts, folks, they just keep going and going and going with their radical Marxist ideology, continuing to spew this garbage. 0.99
00:19:54.800 among us Americans. Some good news today, folks, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ closing at record 0.98
00:20:00.640 levels as investors were given hopeful sites that peace talks between the U.S. and Iran
00:20:06.380 will take place this weekend in Pakistan, as we told you earlier on in the show. So when the
00:20:13.620 markets are soaring, I think that's good for all Americans who have pensions and 401ks and
00:20:19.080 retirements and all that good stuff. The DOJ this afternoon announcing that they're ending their
00:20:25.880 criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. D.C. U.S. Attorney Judge Jeanine
00:20:30.200 Pirro announced that she had ordered her office to close the investigation while the Federal
00:20:34.380 Reserve's inspector general reviewed the matter. Pirro's office had investigated the renovation of
00:20:39.640 the Federal Reserve building in Washington, D.C. to be played by delays and cost overruns.
00:20:45.020 The issue now heads to the inspector general as President Trump is vowing that it's not over.
00:20:51.080 The way I see this is it's maybe some sort of deal to make sure that President Trump's next Fed chair, Mr. Warsh, is given a fair shake over in the Senate from the Marxist Dems.
00:21:05.380 So that's how business works in Washington, D.C. 0.58
00:21:08.400 The United States is weighing suspending Spain from NATO after the socialist government refused to support the Iranian operations.
00:21:17.460 The Pentagon is actively considering suspending Spain from NATO as part of an effort to pressure countries that have refused to support the U.S. and Israel in the war against Iran.
00:21:28.980 According to the internal memo, the Pentagon has outlined options to penalize countries seen falling short of their alliance obligations.
00:21:35.840 I mean, think about it, folks.
00:21:37.380 We pay into NATO. We do more for NATO than anybody else. We're literally in the Strait of Hormuz patrolling it to help Europe, who can be hit at any moment by a missile from Iran, who has the capability to do so, and they don't want to take part.
00:21:55.380 But they all got their rocks off and got all excited when it came to Ukraine. 0.88
00:22:02.200 Make that make sense.
00:22:04.280 The war that's been on pause now for a few months while the war in Iran happens. 0.67
00:22:09.560 But make no mistake, as soon as this thing's wrapped up with Iran, I'm sure we're going to see Vladimir Zelensky right back at the White House, hands out, begging for money. 0.79
00:22:21.300 because he's going to tell us the war is rampant and it's terrible
00:22:24.620 and things are going horribly for Ukraine.
00:22:26.840 Everything's horrible.
00:22:27.860 The world is burning down over there. 0.93
00:22:30.620 But for these few months, while things have been happening in Iran, 0.59
00:22:37.600 they've been seemingly able to pause that war.
00:22:41.300 Pretty remarkable, if you ask me.
00:22:44.880 Republican strategist, Republican strategist, Karl Rove,
00:22:48.880 warning this afternoon that the proposed Florida Republican gerrymander
00:22:53.820 could be a risk for a GOP's control over the state's House delegation.
00:22:59.860 Folks, this is the point exactly.
00:23:04.400 If Rove is against it, everyone should be for it.
00:23:09.880 Karl Rove is one of the biggest rhinos, Trump haters out there.
00:23:14.760 Rove said this will lower the numbers for some incumbent Republicans,
00:23:17.300 and they may lose a seat or two?
00:23:21.200 Now, Sunshine State lawmakers are scheduled to convene next week
00:23:23.920 in what could be the GOP's last attempt and effort
00:23:27.060 to redraw a state's, a red state, that is,
00:23:31.020 and their maps ahead of the midterms.
00:23:32.960 Some Republicans have warned, such as Mr. Roe and fellow RINOs,
00:23:38.720 and they're sending warnings to Ron DeSantis,
00:23:42.000 that acting on any redistricting measure
00:23:43.840 points into recent Democratic victories.
00:23:46.260 because the RINOs want the Republicans to lose the House.
00:23:53.200 They want the Republicans to be out of power
00:23:55.620 because then it means they have to do even less work
00:23:58.380 and they could talk from behind
00:24:00.440 and they could promise all this strong talk
00:24:02.420 that we're going to do this and we're going to do that.
00:24:05.480 That isn't always, nothing gets done.
00:24:08.500 Shout out to Virginia Beach in the House, by the way. 0.96
00:24:10.900 Barbara from Virginia Beach is tuned in with us tonight.
00:24:13.380 Before we go, folks,
00:24:14.580 president trump is um following the possibility of bailing out america's favorite airline
00:24:21.700 people on twitter are going nuts they're saying let spirit airlines go now for any of you folks
00:24:28.680 who have flown spirit airlines it's i think as an american citizen folk it's a it's an experience
00:24:35.180 that each and every one of you guys should go through and i've flown the i've flown just about
00:24:40.720 every airline you can think of. I've sat in some of the best seats in the house, and I've sat in
00:24:44.880 some of the worst seats in the house. And I think Spirit is perhaps probably one of the worst
00:24:50.960 airlines I've ever been on in my life. They charge for just about everything, even just coming up
00:24:58.660 short of the air you breathe. If they could charge for that, they would. Take a listen to President
00:25:03.840 Trump on the possible bailout of Spirit Airlines. We're looking at helping them. We have 18,000
00:25:08.860 and people that live in this country that are great people and great employees.
00:25:14.080 And we're thinking about doing it, helping them out, meaning bailing them out or buying it.
00:25:18.920 I think we just buy it.
00:25:21.160 We'd be getting it virtually debt free.
00:25:24.600 They have some good aircraft, some good assets.
00:25:27.560 And when the price of oil goes down, we'll sell it for a profit.
00:25:31.160 I'd love to be able to save those jobs.
00:25:33.100 I'd love to be able to save an airline.
00:25:34.380 I like having a lot of airlines, so it's competitive.
00:25:38.860 So we are looking at spirit. It's in a bankruptcy. It's in bankruptcy court.
00:25:43.440 And we're looking if we could get it for the right price, I'd do it to save the jobs.
00:25:47.400 And we have somebody that wants to run it, do a good job, smart person.
00:25:53.260 And if they run it properly and if prices come down, all of a sudden it's a valuable asset.
00:25:59.180 To behalf of the American people, Mr. President, please do us all a favor.
00:26:06.600 and let the thing be bought by somebody else, the federal government.
00:26:10.860 Doesn't need any more liabilities on their hands,
00:26:14.660 and airlines are some of the biggest liabilities
00:26:17.140 that you can possibly have on your hands.
00:26:21.840 Before we wrap, folks, let's get to some of your shout-outs tonight here.
00:26:25.200 GW5, too, appreciate you tuning in.
00:26:27.620 Cleveland in the house.
00:26:28.580 Cleveland rocks.
00:26:29.800 Kathy from Cleveland. 0.91
00:26:30.740 We need to send Nancy Pelosi, Pocahontas Warren, Omar to the Iranian meeting 1.00
00:26:36.120 to completely confuse the Iranians. 1.00
00:26:38.840 Oh, my goodness.
00:26:39.920 I wouldn't even do that to them.
00:26:41.640 It would be so cruel.
00:26:44.020 Do they assume we're like the Democratic Party
00:26:45.920 in shortcut primaries,
00:26:47.380 allowing the party elites to choose?
00:26:49.680 Yeah, probably.
00:26:51.840 Probably. 0.99
00:26:53.980 What a nutcase. 1.00
00:26:55.100 You have nothing to back any of your bullshit. 1.00
00:26:58.120 Well, I'd love for you to challenge 1.00
00:27:00.680 anything I've said tonight
00:27:03.400 As almost everything I say, I can refer you to an article that's been based on her news.
00:27:11.340 So not sure where that one comes from.
00:27:17.600 I'm on the fence with Vance.
00:27:18.920 Have to see how he does, what the frauds are.
00:27:21.040 Yeah, I think a lot of people aren't.
00:27:22.500 Like I said, nobody has to make a decision yet.
00:27:26.420 We got plenty of time.
00:27:29.520 Laura says he's reading Politico.
00:27:31.280 Yeah, I don't read Politico very often, but sometimes they have some good scoop articles that, you know, it's news reporting to you.
00:27:44.100 As many hats that Rubio has worn, I can go along with him as POTUS.
00:27:47.980 Yeah, we got time.
00:27:50.120 Rubio has definitely earned most improved award.
00:27:52.300 He's been solid.
00:27:53.760 Can't agree with you more on that. 0.99
00:27:56.640 U.S. kind of sucks now. 0.98
00:27:58.140 Well, I'm not too sure about that. 0.98
00:28:02.120 Go ask the people who are online outside the border waiting to climb the fence
00:28:06.000 to get in.
00:28:06.700 I don't think they'd agree with you.
00:28:08.420 Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance together would be great in 2028.
00:28:11.920 Yeah, I agree with you.
00:28:12.960 I think the problem is the flip-flop on the ticket.
00:28:16.940 J.D.'s not going to want to run for vice president again.
00:28:21.120 You know, so let's see.
00:28:24.620 i've had serious doubts about him from when he ran with graham and mcstain glad to see him prove
00:28:31.200 me wrong yeah you know people could change i mean jd has changed he was a never trumper and he's got
00:28:37.600 on board so people can change give them the benefit of the doubt guys like ran paul obviously
00:28:44.520 couldn't change he's trumped a range to the max watching from summers point new jersey mr chris

00:28:57.280 it's a brilliant name the fracture in our republic was set many years ago on the holes of academia
00:29:03.520 you've heard me talk about that uh straight for many times here on this show and go after academia 0.55
00:29:08.840 they are scum of the earth for the most part the indoctrination drome powell digested too many 0.99
00:29:16.600 magic mushrooms from Janet Yellen. Yeah, Janet Yellen's a lunatic. Happy Friday from Virginia 1.00
00:29:22.280 Beach, Virginia. Barbara, shout out to Virginia Beach in the house. Southwest is still one of 1.00
00:29:28.220 the best airlines, even though they're charging for luggage now. Yeah, I've flown Southwest once
00:29:32.880 or twice. I'm a Delta guy. I love Delta. I think they're so good. MAGA Air, straight for it. I
00:29:42.600 think that's a brilliant idea. I just wouldn't slap MAGA on the side of those big yellow buses
00:29:46.400 that Southwest has.
00:29:48.000 Yes, it does.
00:29:50.020 I wouldn't mind flying the friendly skies of Trump air.
00:29:53.780 Government should probably stay out of it.
00:29:55.300 Yeah, I think so, too.
00:29:56.480 We got bigger issues to fry, folks, and anyone in the airlines.
00:30:00.020 I spent time flying planes for a little while.
00:30:04.240 The airline businesses are rough.
00:30:06.200 Operating on minuscule.
00:30:08.280 Nobody realizes, but they operate on really, really small profit margins.
00:30:12.040 And there's so many catalysts that can kill an airline.
00:30:15.900 There's so many catalysts that can put them down the drain.
00:30:18.500 After 9-11, airlines were down the drain.
00:30:20.780 Fuel prices.
00:30:21.680 I mean, there's so many things that could hurt airlines
00:30:27.940 versus very little things that can help them.
00:30:32.280 It's not worth it.
00:30:34.480 Let's stay out of it.
00:30:35.800 Spirit Airlines is the Timu of the sky.
00:30:38.500 Yeah, Alibaba, Timu, DHG, one of them.
00:30:41.320 I agree with you.
00:30:42.880 Folks, I went on at one time, and it was the worst experience of my life
00:30:46.400 from the rudest customer service.
00:30:49.080 Oh, boy. 0.98
00:30:51.280 I probably said some rude things back to them.
00:30:53.420 But I think when we travel places or we go somewhere,
00:30:56.960 you expect a little bit of respect and common decency from people.
00:31:00.620 Anywhere I go, I show people the utmost respect,
00:31:03.520 whether they're the janitor or the president of the United States.
00:31:06.340 We're all human beings, right?
00:31:08.540 You don't look at anybody differently because of anything.
00:31:12.220 But those people there, man, oh, they are brutally rude.
00:31:18.160 There's actually a video that you guys should go watch this weekend.
00:31:20.840 If you Google or go on YouTube, Southwest, I'm sorry, not Southwest, Spirit Airlines
00:31:25.540 gate agent fight.
00:31:26.860 There's two of them fighting and cursing each other.
00:31:28.840 And it's just a perfect epitome.
00:31:30.880 And I'm sure President Trump hasn't seen this video, and I'm going to have to send
00:31:33.900 it over to the White House to ensure they see it before he considers buying this thing.
00:31:37.780 But it's horrible.
00:31:39.500 All right.
00:31:40.140 Last one of the day.
00:31:40.900 Great show, John.
