00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:05.100 It's great to have you with us on another beautiful day in America.
00:00:07.660 Thank you so much for spending part of your Friday evening with us here on The Great America
00:00:11.460 Show.
00:00:12.060 I truly appreciate it.
00:00:13.080 We hope you had a great week and you're ready for the weekend as much as we are here on
00:00:18.180 The Great America Show.
00:00:19.340 So when Donald Trump came back into office, the Democrats cried and bitched and moaned
00:00:25.340 inflation, inflation, inflation, the chicken prices, the gas prices, week two, why doesn't
00:00:32.220 he have it under control?
00:00:33.900 He said he was getting it under control.
00:00:36.540 Why is everything so expensive?
00:00:39.820 That was week one.
00:00:40.800 Week two, they continued, they continued.
00:00:42.300 And slowly but surely, the numbers started to come down.
00:00:44.900 The price of chickens, eggs came down first, followed by gas prices and the prices of, you
00:00:51.780 know, a few other household things and things that we utilize on a daily basis as Americans.
00:00:58.880 But mom's the word.
00:01:00.520 They stayed silent on it.
00:01:01.600 So then they went to inflation.
00:01:02.760 Well, inflation is still high.
00:01:04.220 But forgetting, of course, to mention that the reason inflation was so high was because
00:01:08.040 of Joseph Robinette Biden.
00:01:10.120 So now it's a year and about a month into this second time around and everything now is
00:01:17.860 coming down at rapid pace.
00:01:19.600 You're wondering what I'm talking about.
00:01:22.240 We've got some new numbers out today.
00:01:24.720 And any day the Marxist left is forced to come out, speak the truth, is a good day for
00:01:31.540 Americans.
00:01:32.360 It's a good day for Republicans and a great day for President Trump.
00:01:35.680 And an upside surprise here or a downside surprise year over year at 2.4 have been expected at
00:01:41.280 2.5 percent.
00:01:42.520 And I think one of the reasons is this rent of owner's equivalent rent coming in at a
00:01:48.000 relatively low 0.2 percent energy down one and a half percent gasoline down 3.2 percent
00:01:54.160 new vehicle sales up zero to I am looking for the core number CPI year over year 2.4
00:01:59.540 export energy that came in at consensus plus 2.5 percent.
00:02:04.460 And real earnings were pretty good up 0.5 percent after declining in the prior in the prior month.
00:02:11.560 So this looks like a good CPI number.
00:02:14.920 Everything's coming down, CPI down.
00:02:16.840 Everything's coming down.
00:02:18.740 Even CNN.
00:02:19.560 It was so good that CNN was even forced to come out and report the truth.
00:02:24.140 Well, Kate, look, this is some encouraging news on the cost of living, right?
00:02:28.140 Inflation took a big step in the right direction to start the year off.
00:02:32.560 So consumer prices up by 2.4 percent year over year.
00:02:36.960 That is an improvement from 2.7 percent in December that beat expectations, which were for 2.5 percent.
00:02:44.360 In fact, this is a new eight month low for annual inflation month over month.
00:02:49.440 Prices up by 0.2 percent.
00:02:51.780 Also a step in the right direction.
00:02:53.660 Also beating expectation.
00:02:55.460 Now, economists look really closely at core inflation, which excludes food and energy.
00:03:01.280 Core inflation came in at 2.5 percent.
00:03:04.680 That's notable because that's the lowest annual inflation rate for core since March of 2021, before the inflation crisis.
00:03:13.420 Now, it's not clear or apparent how much longer CNN is going to decide to at least report some of the truth on President Trump.
00:03:19.840 But anytime they report any of it, we are happy because you all know what we got from them.
00:03:24.820 And throughout the years and their fake reporting and their disservice to America, they are the enemy of the people.
00:03:32.660 So I guess now we sit and we wait to figure out the next hoax, the hoax.
00:03:39.100 That's what Democrats love, hoaxes.
00:03:40.720 The next hoax the Democrats are going to come for.
00:03:42.820 They can't talk about gas prices anymore.
00:03:44.460 Can't talk about inflation anymore.
00:03:46.920 Can't talk about gas prices anymore.
00:03:49.520 So I'm sure they'll figure out, like, maybe the price of gold.
00:03:52.900 Why is the price of gold so high?
00:03:54.640 Or why is the price of silver so high?
00:03:57.960 They'll figure something out.
00:03:59.100 You just sit and wait.
00:04:00.240 You're laughing now.
00:04:01.080 You're laughing at me.
00:04:02.640 But you sit and wait.
00:04:03.840 Because make no mistakes, the Marxist Dems are coming, as they always seem to.
00:04:10.680 Now, CNN, we talk about CNN a bunch on the show.
00:04:14.620 Susan Collins.
00:04:16.240 We're going to talk about Susan Collins.
00:04:17.860 Caitlin Collins, CNN's Caitlin Collins, recently appeared on a podcast and claimed that she
00:04:24.620 and her network are not biased against President Trump, and they cover him fairly.
00:04:30.580 You may recall CNN is the original fake news.
00:04:33.200 They're the OGs of fake news back from 2016.
00:04:35.540 The bias against Trump is legendary, and it's on display just about 365 days a year.
00:04:41.680 That's why the network lost almost two-thirds of their viewership over the last decade.
00:04:47.980 Yes, you heard that right, folks.
00:04:49.620 Two-thirds of their viewership.
00:04:52.240 Nope.
00:04:53.400 Why?
00:04:54.280 What is it all for?
00:04:56.180 Take a listen to Susan Collins.
00:04:57.720 I keep saying Susan Collins.
00:04:59.620 Caitlin Collins.
00:05:00.500 With a straight face, say that they cover President Trump fairly.
00:05:07.480 Just ticklish.
00:05:08.460 You know, they always argue the media is biased against them and doesn't cover them fairly,
00:05:11.840 even though we cover them, I think, fairly and accurately.
00:05:15.140 You wanted the focus to be on the subject matter and not on you personally as a reporter.
00:05:20.380 And so I always try to, you know, keep that distance in terms of that.
00:05:23.800 And I think keeping your composure in that point is important because you never want to prove them
00:05:27.980 right on that front, that they are right, that you're biased against them,
00:05:31.660 or that you have a personal, you know, angst here.
00:05:34.680 I don't.
00:05:37.440 She said it with a straight face, folks.
00:05:39.520 She said it with a straight face.
00:05:41.960 We all know what she's about.
00:05:43.540 We all know what CNN is about.
00:05:45.380 And the American people, the American people, not just the Republican Party,
00:05:50.920 know what CNN is about.
00:05:52.380 And in broader range, they know what the journalism is about now in this country.
00:05:57.600 A majority of Americans, according to Pew Research, 57 percent express low confidence
00:06:02.820 in journalists to act in the best interest of the public, according to their latest analysis
00:06:07.760 from the Pew Night Initiative.
00:06:10.600 This includes 40 percent who say they have not too much confidence and 17 percent who say
00:06:16.360 they have none at all.
00:06:17.620 By comparison, 43 percent of adults say they have a great deal or a fair amount of confidence
00:06:23.160 in journalists.
00:06:24.700 The 43 percent must be those folks who voted for Kamala Harris.
00:06:28.900 So I know I have zero confidence in the mainstream media.
00:06:31.880 I don't watch him ever.
00:06:34.380 Just about ever.
00:06:36.200 Now, we continue to find large differences by political party on this topic, Democrats and
00:06:40.800 Democrat leading independents.
00:06:42.300 61 percent, more than twice as likely as Republicans and GOP leaders, 25 percent to say they have
00:06:48.700 confidence in journalists to act in the best interest of the public.
00:06:54.040 They've lost all trust, folks.
00:06:56.120 They lost all trust when they lied.
00:06:58.700 They lied.
00:06:59.160 They lied.
00:06:59.640 They lied about the 2016 election with the polling.
00:07:03.980 They lied about the 2020 election when it was stolen.
00:07:09.520 They lied during two impeachment hoax.
00:07:11.320 They lied about it all.
00:07:12.080 They lied about even before that, the Russia, Russia, Russia, the Moscow pee tape.
00:07:17.560 They lied about so much stuff that I don't know how anyone in their right mind would believe
00:07:22.720 anything they tell you.
00:07:24.800 I wouldn't trust them to watch my dog if they were the last people on Earth.
00:07:30.940 As I've said, they do a disservice to this country and they put a target on the backs of
00:07:35.720 people, folks.
00:07:36.880 Make no mistake.
00:07:37.840 Charlie Kirk.
00:07:38.540 What they did to him was horrendous, but stoked by the media, the hatred in these Marxist left
00:07:47.620 freaks bones.
00:07:48.740 It's all stoked.
00:07:50.380 It's all stoked by the media.
00:07:54.220 They push propaganda after propaganda, and they're all somehow protected under the guise
00:07:59.080 of journalism.
00:07:59.380 Now, I'm not for censorship or any censorship of freedom of speech.
00:08:07.520 But there comes a time when the mass manipulation of the American people has to be looked at, the
00:08:17.800 responsibility of it.
00:08:18.980 That these people are making tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars lying.
00:08:26.100 And that they somehow always seem to have immunity.
00:08:29.440 But there was no immunity when it came time to talk about the 2020 election.
00:08:34.240 There was no immunity when it came time for Lou Dobbs and Tucker Carlson to talk about voting
00:08:39.040 machines.
00:08:39.560 No, because that wasn't in the best interest of the American people, apparently.
00:08:45.520 Elections, stolen elections, isn't in the best interest of the American people.
00:08:50.360 But lying to them about everything else somehow is.
00:08:53.880 So I think this is something that really needs to be looked at during this administration, whether
00:09:01.180 it be Brendan Carr or whether it be the DOJ or it's got to stop.
00:09:06.480 The mass manipulation of the American people, our children, everybody needs to stop.

00:10:16.140 Let people know that you're listening and you're watching The Great America Show.
00:10:19.920 So the Marxist Dems love to dox people.
00:10:24.580 It's one of their favorite things to do.
00:10:26.900 Todd Lyons is a senior official performing duties as acting director of ICE.
00:10:33.880 Was up on Capitol Hill this week.
00:10:36.320 Now, he began his career.
00:10:37.440 This is a man with a distinguished career in the Air Force in 93, serving in South Korea,
00:10:42.280 South Asia, Europe.
00:10:43.220 He's now a civilian law enforcement officer, and he's running ICE.
00:10:50.680 So career law enforcement man giving back to the community, giving back to the federal government.
00:10:56.380 He's now got to worry about being doxed by the Marxist Dems because the Democrats on Capitol Hill,
00:11:07.680 the senators, the members of Congress, of the House, think it's cool.
00:11:12.940 He was testified on Capitol Hill Thursday and had this to say to Senator Ron Johnson about the threat that he and his family deal with.
00:11:20.040 So talk about the violence, the threats, the doxing against ICE officers.
00:11:27.560 Because, again, that's where I've got a great deal of sympathy for people trying to enforce the law.
00:11:33.160 They've been shot at.
00:11:34.160 They've had their vehicles rammed, rocks thrown at their vehicles, doxed.
00:11:38.000 On ICE Central America, I found out that if you become a new police chief,
00:11:41.580 you get a DVD from the friendly drug cartels with your children and wife going into school and going to church.
00:11:47.840 I mean, it's an explicit threat, hands off, or we're going to do something.
00:11:52.020 Well, there's such a demand for unmasking ICE officers, but they've been doxed.
00:11:56.960 So just talk about the violence, the threats, the doxing that your law enforcement officers are really under.
00:12:05.160 So, sir, it's day to day.
00:12:06.260 If you, you know, I was the field office director for the state of New England.
00:12:09.520 I covered all of New England.
00:12:10.400 And if you looked at the beginning of the operations, beginning, you know, January 20th up until April,
00:12:14.780 ICE officers and agents weren't masked.
00:12:17.320 But it's bad.
00:12:18.320 And I'll just use myself as an example.
00:12:20.060 The week that Charlie Kirk was assassinated, there was a tweet that went out.
00:12:23.500 It said, kill Charlie Kirk, kill another, there was another individual in that, kill Todd Lyons.
00:12:28.860 That's the stuff that I see.
00:12:30.160 Yesterday after the testimony, on Tuesday, I went back to numerous death threats against my family.
00:12:34.900 There was a videotape of my wife walking to work that people actively post.
00:12:38.260 The cartels have actually posted the schematics to my home.
00:12:41.920 ICE agents feel that every day.
00:12:43.380 We actually did an operation with the Secret Service where we identified doxers who put up on telephone poles
00:12:49.020 the home addresses and the schools where ICE officers and agents went to.
00:12:55.000 But yet no one covered that operation.
00:12:57.240 We covered that as a success.
00:12:58.540 And I don't want my officers masked.
00:13:01.480 I would work with this committee and any committee to work with holding individuals accountable that dox ICE agents
00:13:06.960 because ICE agents don't want to be masked.
00:13:08.380 They're honorable men and women.
00:13:09.580 But the threats against their family are real.
00:13:12.660 Thank you.
00:13:13.140 This is what they deal with, folks, on a daily basis, and it's all because of the Marxist Dems.
00:13:19.820 This is the hatred they spew, and it's all, like I said, pushed forward with the help of the Marxist-run mainstream media.
00:13:28.160 They allow them to do this stuff.
00:13:30.580 Doxing is cool.
00:13:31.640 Yet Chuck Schumer out in the Senate wants legislation for these ICE agents to remove their masks.
00:13:41.240 You want their masks off so people can see their faces and go to their houses and threaten their children.
00:13:48.480 That's what they do, by the way, the Marxist Dems, is they'll go after the women and the children because it's who they are.
00:13:55.660 Women and children are their key targets.
00:13:57.560 They never go after the alpha male or the male of the House.
00:14:02.760 And it's these pink-haired, blue-haired, purple-haired freaks, nose rings, you know, the whole nine.
00:14:10.040 It's sad, and it's sick, and it's all because of these, like I said, the mainstream media and these members of Congress and these members of the Senate, and it's the governors, too.
00:14:20.280 The Senate might finally, finally be moving to hold these rogue mayors and governors personally accountable.
00:14:27.560 For the defiance of immigration law, which has fueled this whole entire thing.
00:14:32.420 For years, these sanctuary city politicians have shielded criminal aliens, obstructed ICE agents, turned American communities into high-risk zones, and all while demanding taxpayer-funded bailouts to clean up the mess that they started.
00:14:45.680 Now, Senators Lindsey Graham, well, I'm not fond of Eric Schmidt, who's a great American, introduced powerhouse legislation packages designed to strip sanctuary cities of their power.
00:14:58.500 See, End Sanctuary Cities Act of 2026 doesn't just cut off funding, rather.
00:15:04.020 It carries personal liability to these governors and these mayors.
00:15:10.440 Now, under this proposed legislation, state and local officials who willfully obstruct federal immigration and enforcements or refuse to comply with DHS detainer requests could face up to five years behind bars, officials who impede, inhibit, and stymie federal agents,
00:15:23.920 stripping, stripping the qualified immunity that has protected these politicians from lawsuits filed by victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens, and a complete cutoff of federal grants, including transportation, infrastructure funds, or other jurisdiction that refuses to share information with ICE.
00:15:41.120 It's time we put an end to allow these Marxist Dems to run and destroy these cities.
00:15:53.540 It's a shame.
00:15:54.900 Speaking of destroying cities, Tim Waltz, who was the governor, folks, he was the governor during the summer of love in Minnesota.
00:16:04.380 We all remember it.
00:16:05.480 How could we forget it?
00:16:07.660 The whole place was on fire.
00:16:09.640 The whole place was destroyed.
00:16:13.380 Tim Waltz, now, if you can believe it, folks, is demanding, is demanding that U.S. taxpayers pay for the damage that was caused by ICE in Minnesota.
00:16:25.140 Last I checked, it wasn't ICE who caused any damage.
00:16:31.280 Last I checked, it was the ryers that he allowed in his streets to come out and destroy the joint.
00:16:39.640 Last I checked, let's take a listen to Governor Tampon Tim, what he's got to say.
00:16:47.380 Minnesota, on behalf of not just this state, but the country, thank you.
00:16:54.180 That same energy now needs to be directed towards recovery to finding ways that people have done during these challenging months to go forward.
00:17:07.140 So, I want to say, this damage is still being assessed, but we do know, and you're going to hear from some folks, you're going to hear from Henry, you'll hear from Commissioner Verlick about where we're at on the front end of this.
00:17:20.840 And we're going to be proposing a reinstitution of our small business emergency fund.
00:17:26.800 It's what we used very successfully during COVID in the recovery, in the economic recovery that we saw in Minnesota that outpaced most of the rest of the country.
00:17:35.000 We're going to be proposing a first-time $10 million one-time targeted loans, forgivable loans, that we know, and I want to be very clear, is a very small piece of this.
00:17:48.260 But what I am going to challenge as we get ready to start here in a few days, the legislative session, this legislative session needs to be about recovery of the damage that's been done to us.
00:17:59.220 I am also asking our team, and I'm going to make appeals to our federal delegation, the federal government needs to pay for what they broke here.
00:18:06.840 There are going to be accountability on the things that happened, but one of the things is the incredible and immense costs that were borne by the people of this state.
00:18:15.400 The federal government needs to be responsible.
00:18:17.400 You don't get to break things and then just leave without doing something about it.
00:18:21.480 So we're going to be asking the federal delegation to be investing and doing the things necessary.
00:18:26.500 We have been in contact with federal leadership as a negotiation is happening right now on DHS funding and all of the things that we have an expectation, whether it be the investigations, whether it be going forward, no masks, because this, I got to tell you, one of the things, and I'm in contact with a lot of my colleagues.
00:18:45.680 Both at the federal level with the Senate and the House, but especially governors, I don't want these folks showing up somewhere else and doing this.
00:18:55.540 So the changes that need to be made, the investments that need to come back, they need to show, they being the federal government and they being this administration, they need to do more.
00:19:08.300 But I'm not going to hold my breath that the federal government is going to do the right thing.
00:19:14.120 Summer of love, tampon, Tim Waltz, the man who watched his city burn down, the man who put tampons in women's and women's bathrooms where they belong in men's bathrooms, adolescence bathrooms.
00:19:26.320 This is a man who says he wants accountability from the federal government.
00:19:30.480 Is he kidding me?
00:19:31.340 A man who's being forced to not run for reelection because we know Tim Waltz is not capable of holding another job unless it's paid for by the CCP.
00:19:41.480 But a man who's been forced to not run again for reelection.
00:19:46.260 Because of his corruption, his Somali corruption.
00:19:49.700 This is a man that we're taking cues from now.
00:19:55.240 Are you kidding me?
00:19:56.600 Taking one more quick break here, folks.

00:20:35.920 Justice Department's antitrust chief is out.
00:20:38.940 Another pro-MAGA patriot being removed from the DOJ.
00:20:42.920 Gail Slater, who was the chief of antitrust in the Department of Justice,
00:20:47.360 is announcing last night that she will be departing her position heading up the antitrust division.
00:20:54.680 She took to social media last night saying, quote, it's with great sadness and abiding that I have to leave my role as AAG for antitrust today.
00:21:03.100 It was indeed the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role.
00:21:05.620 Huge thanks to all those who supported me in the past year, most especially the men and women at the Justice Department.
00:21:11.400 Now, the only reason I'm bringing this story to you guys is because somebody called me maybe six or seven months ago and someone high up in the administration
00:21:28.680 and told me that a man that you guys probably all know very well, Mike Davis, had been stymied and stopping this lady, Gail Slater,
00:21:41.140 in the antitrust department as it pertained to lawsuits against big tech and big companies and monopolies.
00:21:47.160 And it's now being reported one of them is the Live Nation one where they were overcharging tickets.
00:21:50.860 And any time it came to Gail Slater to bring down the hammer, Mike Davis somehow came in and stopped it.
00:21:58.740 Now, Mike Davis, household name, we used to have him on this show, probably see him on Steve Bannon's show every day.
00:22:06.420 So that's why we bring in this story to monitor and to bring in the news on it.
00:22:12.700 Like I said, a few months ago, I was cold that this was happening.
00:22:15.860 And now we have this news.
00:22:17.080 I'm not sure it's a it's a coincidence.
00:22:18.760 And from what I hear on all accounts, a big loss for the Department of Justice in the antitrust division.
00:22:28.440 Former Obama White House counsel and Goldman Sachs top attorney Catherine Arumler resigning over Epstein files,
00:22:36.500 showing her extensive relationship with the late pedophile.
00:22:39.980 It's funny.
00:22:40.400 These people, they resign right away.
00:22:42.360 She's a former White House counsel to Barack Hussein Obama, presently top lawyer at Goldman.
00:22:47.960 Announced her resignation.
00:22:49.260 Yesterday's comes after a massive amount of emails between her.
00:22:53.180 Jeffrey Epstein were released by the DOJ, showing her close relationship where she described him as an older brother.
00:22:59.600 And made little of his sex crimes, which sort of scary.
00:23:05.800 Signed some of the emails with X's and O's, hugs and kisses to her brother.
00:23:10.360 And also some sexual references in the emails, which we're not going to bore you with.
00:23:16.440 But that's who needs to continue to be exposed is these people who did all this terrible, terrible stuff.
00:23:26.160 These people who are running corporations.
00:23:27.980 They all, every single one of them, needs to be exposed for who they are.
00:23:33.740 The SAVE Act, folks, has reached 49 co-sponsors in the Senate.
00:23:37.120 The GOP is now one vote away from that 50-vote threshold with a standing filibuster.
00:23:42.580 On Wednesday evening, the House passed, voted once again to pass the SAVE Act, critical legislation that requires proof of citizenship and voter ID to vote in federal elections.
00:23:52.720 It was a vote of 218 to 213.
00:23:54.460 We told you, one brave Democrat, Henry Quirler, who President Trump pardoned a few months ago, a Democrat from Texas, voting with the Republicans in this, which is sort of like a free vote for him, 218 to 213.
00:24:08.740 They had the votes anyway.
00:24:10.220 Someone who's been a staunch, staunch voice in this whole thing is Congressman Anna Paulina Luna from the great state of Florida.
00:24:17.580 She's been awesome in this, blasting Senator Thune on Wednesday, slamming him for riding President Trump's coattails while ignoring the will of the American people.
00:24:26.880 She says, if you're going to say that you're a Republican and then you're going to turn around and complain that you're being bullied in the House for wanting to pass the SAVE Act, consider resigning or consider a different job.
00:24:39.400 She's great, isn't she?
00:24:40.360 Senator Mike Lee, who's a warrior leading the charge for electoral integrity in the Senate, says that he spoke with Leader Thune, who just asked him to add him on as a co-sponsor.
00:24:52.540 So Thune, I guess, may be changing his ways.
00:24:57.040 So since Thune decided, Rhino Thune decided it was okay in his capitulation, the floodgates opened.
00:25:03.620 And today, three more GOP senators, Tim Scott, South Carolina, Roger Wicker, and Shelley Moore Capito, officially signing on as co-sponsors now.
00:25:15.780 And just moments ago, Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan threw his support behind the bill, becoming the 49th co-sponsor.
00:25:23.620 So who's holding out now, folks?
00:25:26.600 Who is holding out?
00:25:27.940 According to Luna, John Thune signaled that after a meeting with President Trump, that the Senate is prepared to bring the SAVE Act to the floor with the modern abuse-ridden 60-vote blockade.
00:25:39.760 Under a standing filibuster, senators who want to delay the bill must actually stand, speak, and debate.
00:25:45.460 Once the debate ends, only 50 votes are needed for the passage.
00:25:49.320 If Republicans can enforce the standing filibuster, they can bypass the 50-vote rule and pass the bill with a simple majority.
00:25:55.000 Like I said, we're now at 49.
00:25:57.440 We just need one more.
00:25:59.200 The GOP reaches that 50.
00:26:01.960 Vice President J.D. Vance is ready to cast that deciding vote.
00:26:06.340 So who are those?
00:26:07.260 I'm sorry for teasing you and letting you guys know.
00:26:10.740 Who are those holdouts?
00:26:13.140 Who are they, folks?
00:26:14.720 Lisa Murkowski, I'm sure you guessed that one.
00:26:17.100 You want to guess another one?
00:26:18.940 Mitch McConnell.
00:26:20.540 How about one more?
00:26:21.420 Susan Collins.
00:26:22.080 And last but not least, Tom Tillis.
00:26:25.500 The four holdouts who don't care about our elections, who don't care about the sanctuary of this country, don't care about any of that stuff.
00:26:32.200 They care about doing whatever their bosses tell them.
00:26:35.300 Now, it's up to John Thune to be a man once and for all and withhold any funding from these people for any further election that they think they're going to run it.
00:26:45.800 It's up to the NRSC, the NRCC, the RNC to withhold every single damn dime that is given to these networks, to these organizations, for those four RINOs.
00:26:57.240 Now, one of them is not running again, but three are.
00:27:00.400 I'm sorry, two are.
00:27:01.700 McConnell's retiring as well.
00:27:03.780 Collins and Murkowski.
00:27:04.580 And John Thune needs to pledge to spend every last dollar in his war chest against both of those RINOs should they do this.
00:27:15.700 Because the little horse and pony game of John Thune signing on, knowing damn well those four will never go for it, it's the only game.
00:27:23.820 He needs to come out publicly and hold these people's feet to the fire and say, enough is enough.
00:27:30.600 You're not going to hold this Republican Party hostage anymore.
00:27:33.820 We're not going to put up with it.
00:27:35.980 Enough is enough.
00:27:39.120 And then we'll see who John Thune really is.
00:27:42.340 Should he decide to finally be a man for once in his life?
00:27:46.400 And maybe be a Republican for once in his life.
00:27:49.700 Then we'll see.
00:27:50.480 Folks, that's all for us tonight here on The Great America Show.
00:27:54.160 We had to end it with a barn burner, as great Lou Dobbs used to say.
00:27:58.520 We'll see you back here Monday, I hope, for The Great America Show.
00:28:01.000 Truth, justice, and the American way.
00:28:04.700 We're live tonight from New Orleans, Louisiana.
00:28:09.120 Before we depart, doing some work out here.
00:28:12.200 Before we depart, heading to the Daytona 500 on Sunday, The Great America Race.
00:28:17.560 And then back for The Great America Show on Monday.
00:28:20.480 We'll see you back here Monday, folks.
00:28:21.580 I hope you all have a great, blessed weekend.
00:28:23.600 We'll see you back here, I hope.
00:28:25.680 Be safe.
00:28:26.620 Go to church.
00:28:28.040 Tell your loved ones you love them.
00:28:29.940 We'll see you back here Monday, folks.
00:28:31.280 Until then, may God bless you.
00:28:33.240 May God bless America.
00:28:34.440 And may God bless the great Lou Dobbs.
00:28:36.920 God bless you all, folks.
00:28:37.700 See you Monday.
00:28:38.140 We'll be right back.
00:28:39.180 We'll see you next time.
00:28:41.740 Thank you.
00:28:43.440 We'll see you next time.
00:28:43.920 Yeah.
