This is really incredible on a couple different levels…
I have to say this is one of the most fascinating videos and stories I’ve seen in quite a while, so I think you’re going to really enjoy this.
Because it explains one of the biggest mysteries we’ve had about President Trump, which is the question of why he pushed Operation Warp Speed with Big Pharma and why he never seemed to understand that we didn’t like it.
John Rich finally explained that riddle and it now makes perfect sense.
I’ll give you the quick summary here and then you just need to hear him tell it in the video below.
Basically, John Rich says he was invited to a meeting with President Trump and some Senators including Lindsey Graham.
Rich is keeping his silence most of the meeting, a bit stunned he’s even in the room.
This was before the 2024 election when President Trump was doing massive MAGA Rallies all over the country and pulling 30,000-40,000 people at each one.
At one point in the conversation he stops everything and tells John Rich he has a question for him, as a fellow entertainer, and the question is basically this: 30,000+ people are coming to these Rallies and they clearly love me (Trump), but why do they boo when I bring up the vaccine and Operation Warp Speed?
Stunning question, right?
It tells us so much.
First, it tells us President Trump truly does care and he wants to do the best for people and as a gauge for that he wants people to like him.
Second, President Trump rushed out the vaccines thinking he was giving us options, giving us something to help. He never mandated them. That was Biden.
Third, it tells us he truly didn’t get it. He had no idea what the issue was.
That’s the kicker for me.
President Trump has had his finger on the pulse of MAGA better than anyone else — obviously, he created it — but he’s been out of tune on this one issue and never really understood it before John Rich explained it.
So Rich decides he’s going to tell him the truth and he tells him what you or I would say — we don’t trust Big Pharma, we don’t trust Pfizer, we think they’re the scum of the Earth and engaged in depopulation efforts and we didn’t trust nor want their vaccine!
He then continues to tell him every single one of us knows someone who was badly hurt or killed by the vaccine.
President Trump sits in stunned silence and then looks at his advisors and says “Unbelievable! Unbelievable!”
Then he asks his advisors and Senators if this is true.
He truly had no idea.
Herschel Walker then speaks up and says he hears the exact same thing from his constituents on a daily basis, and again President Trump is floored.
Then the kicker — Lindsey Graham speaks up and like the rat he is takes the opposite side and tells President Trump not to believe these “conspiracy theories”.
I think everyone knows who President Trump trusted and believed after this moment and it wasn’t that rat Lindsey Graham.
This whole story is incredible to me, but not surprising.
I have been around powerful people my whole life. Worked for them, often as one of their top advisors. Their right-hand man, so to speak. And I’ve noticed something almost universal among all those extremely powerful people: it’s almost impossible for them to get honest feedback.
They’re surrounded by “yes men” who only tell them what they THINK they want to hear.
And the irony is that’s the last thing they want to hear.
They want respect, yes — but in a respectful and intellectually honest way, they want the truth. Even if they won’t like it or agree with.
These people become so insulated and so surrounded by “yes men” that they begin to crave anyone who will be truly honest with them, especially with hard truths.
That’s what John Rich did here.
And it’s rare.
It’s why for his entire life President Trump has been famous for not listening to advisors or focus groups or anything like that. Did you know that?
What does he do instead?
He talks to the “common man”.
He talks to cab drivers, construction workers. He talks to the people on the ground, the people actually DOING things.
When he took office in 2017 he didn’t care what the “TV Generals” had to say, he flew out and talked to the people on the front lines over seas. Those were the people he listened to.
Steve Jobs always did the same thing.
Steve had such a close relationship with Jony Ive because Jony was one of the few people who would give him honest feedback and they would love long conversations and debates.
Most other people were terrified of Steve Jobs and would only tell him what they thought he wanted to hear, which is absolutely complete trash and useless. Steve hated that. Trump hates that.
So in the world of Lindsey Graham’s, be a John Rich.
That’s my take and my summary, but now you just have to listen to John Rich tell it:
TRUMP: “Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine?”
JOHN RICH: “They’re booing you Mr. President because every human being out in that rally, either themselves or they know someone directly, who has been harmed by the vaccine”pic.twitter.com/JbZFLM9H1B

TRANSCRIPT:
We’re sitting there, and everybody’s eating their food. And, and, and President Trump is not present at this, at this time. And he’s talking to the senators. He’s talking about, uh, really important stuff, and I’m just minding my own business going, I don’t know why or how I got in this room.
Well, it was okay. I’m sitting there elbow to elbow with him. It’s about an hour into dinner, I hadn’t said a word, just been listening.
And Trump gets through eating, and you’ve seen him do this move right here. Yeah. Yeah. The, wherever, in the big boardroom, he does this. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay, that’s what he does. Mm-hmm.
He goes, Can I ask you a question, John Rich? He never calls me John. John Rich.
I said, I look at him, I go, Yes, sir? What, what’s the question?
He goes, Well, you do a lot of big shows, like you’re an entertainer?
Yes, sir.
You play for really big crowds?
I go, I do, I played for really big crowds for a long time.
He goes, Well, have you seen these rallies I’m doing? Like it’s 30,000, 40,000 people.
I said, Yeah, they’re, it’s unbelievable.
He goes, So let me ask—He goes, So here’s the question. Why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine?
This is the question from the President of the United States, a guy who is very proud at that moment of the fact that—
he was able to stomp the gas pedal and get that thing out, because he’s under the impression this is gonna fix the problem.
Operation Warp Speed, uh—
That’s it.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so here’s a guy who, to his own admission, one of the biggest egos on the Earth.
Yeah.
And he’s very proud of this, and I respect him to—there is no limit.
But I’m being asked a very direct question. And so, man, I went, looked at him and I said, Okay, I’m gonna tell you the answer and you’re not gonna like it.
He goes, Okay, what’s the answer?
And he looked at me like this. I said, Let me start off by saying this: we, the American people, do not trust the people that you were forced to trust at the time when this was happening.
Let’s start there.
And I said, By the people we don’t trust, here’s who I mean—the FDA, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO, Fauci, and all the rest of them.
I said, Mr. President, we consider them to be a bunch of murderous depopulationist psychopaths.
And his reaction was?
That’s a good way to start.
His eyes are—he goes, Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
That was a great impression.
He’s stunned. No, he is stunned that I said that.
I said, Now, let me tell you why they’re booing you.
I said, Because all of them, including me—I said, I would boo you. I would boo you.
He did? Did he really say that? You did not. Wow.
I would boo you—
Really?
if you brought that up, and here’s why. And he’s looking at me like—and I’m thinking to myself, This is the last time this guy’s gonna invite me to anything.
Yeah.
He’s never gonna call me again. I am throwing massive shade at the former president’s—
Yeah.
what, in his mind, one of his biggest accomplishments.
Mm-hmm.
And, and it dawned on me, nobody had told the man what I was telling him right now, cause they all work for him, they all got something to gain from him.
Yes, sir.
They’re not going to tell him this, because they’re not serving him well.
I don’t work for him, and I think a lot of him, and I want him to understand the truth about it.
So I said, Here’s the problem, here’s why they’re booing you, Mr. President.
Because every human being out in that rally, either themselves or they know someone directly who has been harmed by the vaccine, or has even died from it, including me.
I said, I got members of my own family who were forced to take it against their will to keep their jobs, and now they’ve got all kinds of problems—big problems. Heart problems—
Mm-hmm.
lung problems.
And he’s, he, he’s looking at me and he, he looks around the table and he goes, This is unbelievable.
I mean, he goes, Is, is this—does anyone—has anyone else heard this?
Herschel Walker—Mister—he was running for Senate at the time.
Yeah.
He goes, Mr. President, I mean, down in Georgia, my constituents come up at my rallies and what, what John just said, man, I hear it—
Oh, he got your back.
Yeah.
every single day.
Mm-hmm.
Looks over at Marcia. Marcia’s sitting there going, you know? Looks around the table.
And then Lindsey Graham, who’s sitting across—
So you’re here, or I’m here. I’m sorry, but you’re Lindsey Graham.
You’re Lindsey. Sorry.
Dammit!
Oh no, you’re Lindsey. Sorry, Lindsey.
Hey, look, it’s Lindsey, everybody.
I’m Lindsey. I’m Lindsey.
You’re Lindsey Graham and you’re—Okay.
Um, as I’m going into the part where I said, Even in my own family, I have—Lindsey Graham busts in with his, swishing his Chardonnay around.
And said, Mr. President, if you listen to conspiracy theorists—
No.
like John Rich, the Democrats are gonna take credit for what you did, and they’re gonna beat you in the next election with it.
Oh no.
And I—So I’m looking at Trump, and he’s sitting over there, and he does that.
And I looked at him and I said, Do not interrupt me when I’m speaking.
Do you understand me?
You what?
Oh, Lord.
And he, and he looked at me and he goes, Well, I didn’t mean to disrespect you.
I go, Yeah, but you did.
Oh.
So—
Right now you look like Wyatt Earp right now. You’re very intimidating.
So Trump is, Trump is right here.
You’re Lindsey Graham, okay? I go, I’m holding him.
Oh, good. Yeah, you’re Lindsey Graham.
I get back up—
You’re Lindsey Graham.
I get back up, I get back up, Mr. President.
I look at him one more time, I go, Now, let me finish what I was saying.
Hmm.
Oh, man.
And then I finished it.
Okay.
That—Trump ended that by saying, So I guess no more vaccine talk.
I said, I think that’s a good idea.
I said, I think you’re gonna learn a lot about it. But yes, I think that’s a good idea, cause that’s the only thing that would make us ever boo you, Mr. President.
Yeah, cause you’re right.
Thank you.
That’s amazing. I mean, that’s one of the things that I think a lot of people didn’t agree with him on, and it was the vaccine and him being proud of it.
And Jason actually has a story that’s similar to this.
Well, the thing about Trump and the vaccine—Trump never mandated the vaccine.
No, exactly.
Trump said—
Nah.
You’re all the doctors, go figure out how to make this stuff.
Yeah.
Right. You need to make this available.
And he trusted these people that we now all know are a bunch of depopulationist animals.
We all know that now.
But he never mandated it, because mandating an experimental medical procedure violates the Nuremberg Code, it’s a crime against humanity.
Yeah.
Which I hope we see that play out, because people need to be held accountable for that—
Do you think it will be?
in a major way.
I think it’s—I think it will.
Yeah.
So that was the story there.
So you know, again, he has called me since then. He does text me back from the Super Bowl.
He has invited me to mo—So I did not lose my friendship with him.
I think, if anything, uh, based on a couple of things he’s asked me over the last year or so, he probably appreciates the fact that I’ll give him, say something to him that he don’t really want to hear.
