Country music star John Rich told President Donald Trump that the reason his supporters booed him at his rallies during his 2024 bid for the White House was because of his constant bragging about Operation Warp Speed, Trump’s controversial COVID-19 program that led to the deaths and injuries of millions of Americans.
Rich explained to the hosts of the Try That In a Small Town Podcast that he was at a dinner with Trump and other high-ranking Republican politicians several years ago. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, as well as then-Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker were also present, sitting around a table.
Knowing that Rich is a seasoned performer, Trump turned to Rich and asked for advice on how to deal with his tough crowds.
“[Trump] goes, ‘why are people booing me at my rallies when I bring up the vaccine?’” Rich said.
Before sharing his answer, Rich explained to the podcast hosts that he knew Trump was extremely proud of Operation Warp Speed so he had to collect himself before speaking directly to him.
Listen to him describe, in the video below, how the conversation went down from there. It really is quite stunning.
It took a country music singer for God to get through to Donald Trump about the evils of his horrifying “miracle vaccine.”
God bless John Rich. One of the few, maybe the only one, who had the guts to tell the truth about Warp Speed to the President of the United States of America, the man who triggered it all.
And Trump seems to have listened. You don’t hear him bragging about Warp Speed like he used to do constantly at every opportunity.
I also love how Rich put the corrupt globalist Senator Lindsey Graham in his place after Graham accused Rich of being a “conspiracy theorist.” Graham is a scourge on this country, an embarrassment and a pathetic excuse for a leader. If he is legitimately elected every six years, then shame on the people of South Carolina.
Sad to say, Trump still has not learned from Rich on what to make of Graham, as Trump recently gave Graham a ringing endorsement for his 2026 Senate re-election campaign.
If Trump really is an anti-globalist and against forever wars, he should be able to recognize a died-in-the-wool globalist like Lindsey Graham. It’s really not that difficult.

SC is an open primary state. Dems keep Graham in office. In 2014 when he was considered “vulnerable”, the idiotic gop put up over a half dozen primary challengers who split the vote & Grahamnesty made it thru.

A quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s story “The Rich Boy” 1925: “ “Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.”
Trump is from the billionaire class. Most of our politicians are multi-millionaires. None of them think like us. Their big rentier bucks makes them gods—above it all, able to do or say anything with impunity. They sound clueless and callous because they don’t have to think about the consequences of their actions. Nor do they need to because they don’t suffer from them, only we little people do and who are we to them?.

Whats up with the remark “people you were forced to trust?” Dr Warpspeed picked his team. Is he a guy that is forced to do anything? He had others telling him the truth about Ivermectin etc but did nothing. Do you really believe after all the death and injuries this no one has mentioned and he hasn’t noticed? He plays golf and attends/gives massive party’s. He is a social butterfly. He has family on social media but no one told him? His sons attend Clay Walker time to free America tour with ALL the MDs speaking against the shots, the increased death rate and injuries. They never mentioned to him? That’s almost hilarious. If I were in China, we would call that video PROPAGANDA. Dr Warpspeed was back in office 4 days and announced new new MRNA cancer shots. Create a problem, offer a cure?

What about those who, under extreme pressure and coercion, did comply and now suffer physical effects ? ? Is it enough to have RFKjr in a high position in healthcare ? ?

You did not read it quite carefully enough. It says the booing was “at rallies during his 2024 bid for the White House.” This is a reference to political rallies he held from 2022 through 2024 during which time he was campaigning (bidding) for the November 2024 presidential race.

Awesome! Thank God for the boldness of John Rich. I’ve noticed for quite a while now that President Trump has refrained from bringing up “Operation Warp Speed.” At some stage, personalities like Trump can get caught up in their own bubble. Thankfully, he chose a genuine listening posture as he initiated the question. His question was direct and no nonsense as is his habit. Rich’s discerning response I believe caught that, and he responded in a similar direct, no-nonsense way that would get Trump’s attention. That is answering with commonsense, honesty, clarity, and boldness. Those are attributes President Trump can latch onto. And, stunningly, President Trump seemed totally surprised. In deference to another great country singer, Rich’s heart rooted honesty took the rose off of Trump’s rose-colored glasses which he was using to self-congratulate in promoting the “death shot.” As he obviously wasn’t a medical scientist, Trump was clueless at the time about the reality behind the shot and was used by Fauci and affiliates to advance this monstrosity. He does tend to respect forthrightness. Too many pussyfoot around President Trump hoping not to bruise his well-defined ego. That is simply a display of cowardice which shortchanges any conversation, much less one with Trump. Graham is another boondoggle. He showed his imbecilic, RINO colors in interrupting Rich before he was finished with his classless “conspiracy” drivel. Rich was a carefree, class act to react forcefully to Graham’s condescension. When he was immediately punched back with Rich’s verbal artillery, he slithered down into the cesspool of his own making. A man with integrity rooted in truth will dwarf all charlatans. I think that solidified Trump’s decision at that point to reposition and set his ego-positive covid narrative off into the sunset. “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” A truth we all need…

Well, sounds like John got it right on the jab and why many conservatives aren’t particularly impressed with Trump’s role in that wickedness. Hooray for that. Unfortunately, one cannot say the same about Rich’s biblical eschatology he shared as a guest on Tucker Carlson last year. What a hot mess. The good news is, as long as he is talking about things like Warp Speed and the Donald, he is not confusing God’s people with his erroneous interpretation of a supposed post trib rapture, thereby robbing them of God’s hope (confident assurance based on the promises of God’s Word). It is NOT a small thing to rob God’s people of hope, no matter how well-intenioned one may be. (He cites, among other things, that ludicrous straw man argument related to Darby. Oy vey!) So, John, keep on talking about things like the jab and Trump, while please leaving the discussion on eschatology to those who earnestly seek to be Bereans, diligently studying in hunger for truth and seeking to rightly divide God’s Word.

The 64d Chess claim is that Warp Speed replaced bad vaccines with placebos.
That sounds naive but remember there were many reports of pharmacies calling people back because of mistakenly giving saline shots.
I don’t know. We quit all vaccinations in the 1990s including pediatric. Forced vaccination is my redline, another is banning semi automatic guns, and the 3rd is “free speech”. Cross any one of those lines and I’ll turn on Trump.
Go find some interviews of RFKjr from the campaign. I had no clue he is so well informed on the incredible bad record of mass vaccination. And Kennedy seems to have full recall memory of the details. Starting with the pharma companies about to go bankrupt from brain damage by the DPT shot until Congress gave them complete immunity in 1986. See the documentary “1986:The Act” Andrew Wakefield.
So RFKjr knows everything but just came out and recommended the MMR tripple vaccine dose for measles. I have to assume he had no choice because the vast majority of Americans will trample you for a flu vaccine.
In the 2020 campaign Brad Parscale had to chastise Trump about not wearing a mask because internal poles showed MAGA boomers overwhelmingly supported mask mandates.
Jon Rapport has written articles about the behind the scenes activities at NIH. Peter Marks refused to give access to the vaccine safety data to RFKjr. Now Peter Marks (head of vaccines) is gone. Rapport on substack. Website: nomorefakenews.com

RFK’s knowledge about vaccines is not new. Its been around a very long time. For instance, my family credits him for never getting a flu shot. So obviously we didn’t take the covid vaccine either. There are ways around the mandates as well…not every idea is a comspiracy theory, people should have listened. They should also pay attention and do their own research. Then so many wouldn’t have died.
Unfortunately they made Kennedy out to be a conspiracy theorist many, many years ago, even decades ago. MSM never covered his studies. No one did.
Politically speaking, he’s not a person I would vote for, but he is a very smart man about this particular subject.
Everyone has their niche!

How come none of Trump’s staunch supporters worry about the effects of the clot shot on him? According to the president he is fully vaccinated and boosted. “Get your Trump shot. I got mine.”
I remember a video of him getting a needle in the arm and giving a thumb’s up just like all the other world leaders did in 2021. In addition to worrying about further assassination attempts, Trump supporters should be worried about him developing myocarditis, embolisms, turbo cancer, Guillon Beret Syndrome, etc.
By steadfastly supporting his clot shot, President Trump has lost votes as well as getting boos. I decided he is controlled opposition and hold him responsible for the people who died. He never issued mandates (didn’t have to after taking a dive) but he constantly has urged his supporters to take his miracle vaccine and served as a huge poster boy for how safe and effective his “operation warp speed” shots are.
Keep attributing it to well-meaning ignorance. That is the charitable assumption and one I embraced myself for a while. I guess maybe Trump never got sick himself or noticed any of his loved ones getting sick, crippled or dropping dead? Or the kindly, naive, good-hearted man just wasn’t mentally capable of making the connection and was cruelly deceived by all those nefarious swamp creatures who forgot to swap out the sugar water (taken by Trudeau and others) for the real clot shot. Our beloved Forest Trump. Or he was just too worn out playing 4 D chess and “owning the globalist libs” with that brilliant plan we’re supposed to trust.
