Moments away, President Trump will be landing behind me. Real America's Voice in Brian Glenn, because of great reporting, has been invited especially to go. This has been totally abandoned. This is the forgotten man and woman, completely abandoned. If you want to know what President Trump is up to, just turn on Real America's Voice. The communications staff understands the power of streaming and the power of things like Real America's Voice. This media landscaping is changing now. The First Lady's first trip is with her husband, the President of the United States, showing how much she cares about this. This is Real America's Voice has been invited by the White House communications team. I think it's just a wonderful thing that he's here today. I'm stopping in North Carolina first because they've been abused by what's happened. I mean, it's terrible. A lot of Americans think that this is symbolic of what your campaign was all about. America first, putting your priorities to Americans, even going to California where their policies might been one of the biggest reasons why they've had these problems. But you're putting the American people first. Your thoughts on that? We are. Thank you. I like that question. Boy, I want more questions like that. That's even a statement. Thank you very much. He's a good man, that guy. And he's also a very professional reporter, I have to say. Thank you very much. Yeah, we're putting America first. Thank you. Thank you. When the mainstream media is like, how did Trump come back? How they came back was pick and shovel work every day, war room every day for four hours a day, hammer this, these new media outlets and people like yourself that bet everything and put all the chips in the middle of the table say, hey, we back this guy. We back this movement. And today is the payoff Brain Glenn.

All of PCH is on fire right now. There is fierce wind, downed power lines, power poles toppled over. Things are exploding. Gas lines are on fire. Flames are coming back over PCH or being blown by fierce winds. It is like driving through hell itself down here. Literally through hell. This is madness down here. These homes are on fire and you can feel the heat from the flames even from inside your car. It is insane down here.

Okay, I guess. Let's park along this street. Yeah. And then, Dave, if you can just. Oh, my. Ahead of us and try to set up a signal right here, Right here. This is where it's got to be this is. Oh my God. What I've never. Look at this. Beyond comprehend tension. That's crazy. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people's not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything the world has stopped at but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Welcome. Friday the 24th of January year of our Lord 2025. We started the broadcast today. We were in North Carolina with the President of the United States. Brian Glenn had very special access. Want to thank the White House comms department, Taylor Bodowich, Stephen Chung and Caroline Levitt. We covered that this morning. The President then left and the President is en route to Los Angeles, California to go to Pacific Palisades, see the devastation there and meet with officials. He has, you know, says this is the revolution in common sense. He's there to reach out to the forgotten man and woman. Going to meet with authorities also. Our own Amanda Head will be taking the afternoon shift. She's trying to get into Palisades right now. People should understand the Palisades in Altadena out by Pasadena, but the Palisades is literally blocked off. Very, very hard to get into. The President in fact is going to land. I think he's going to land. Estimated time of landing in LAX is I believe 5:30 Eastern Time. It will be next 30 minutes, maybe a little longer because of the headwinds. He's going to take a helicopter. Traffic is so tough to get around. President is going to helicopter into the Palisades. We're going to have Amanda Head as close as possible to make sure she can see it. In any case, she'll be there near the devastation. It'll be absolutely incredible. Is this the live feed now? Okay, we got a live shot right there from la. You see the devastation. That fire, for those who forget, it was a hellfire you saw in that with the woman that was talking. Maybe we get ready to play that again. That was Malibu, that was the Pacific Coast Highway. When you're on the PCH highway there when you're driving in those homes. So she's driving, driving north on Pacific coast highways because those homes actually front the water. Those are those magnificent beach homes. Now, it's not the Malibu Colony where kind of the elite of Hollywood is, but those are kind of more the beach homes a little south of there. They're all gone. They are all burned to the ground. And that is. You saw that hellfire. If you look right to the left, normally you have one of the most stunning views of the Pacific Ocean you can ever imagine. And you're 50 yards away. I mean, the road is built right on the ocean. All of that row of houses which are incredibly famous. It's the kind of what people think of Malibu. All gone. Absolute destruction. And remember that fire came down from the canyons. Two Palisades came down and burned all the buildings on the inland side of PCH and then jumped by sparks in the wind to those homes on PCH and burned it. It was absolute devastation. The president's out there today as stunned as he was by North Carolina. North Carolina is stunning because of the flood damage and the hills and hollers of that part of kind of the Smoky Mountains at Appalachia. He will be, I think, even more stunned by when he sees LA today. He's very familiar with Pacific Palisades, one of the most famous enclaves in all Hollywood. Ben Berkram. Do I have Ben Berkwom? Ben Berkram is actually. Ben will be back in Chicago tomorrow. Ben is going to be doing duty for us on all the deportations. So much going on. Do I have Ben yet? Okay, fine. Yeah, we're setting up. We're setting up, Ben right now. Amanda Head's trying to work her way into Palisades. So here's what's going to happen this afternoon. President is going to land momentarily, I think, within the next half hour at LAX on Air Force One. I believe I have some short comments on the tarmac talk. Some officials, Gavin Newsom, think the governor is going to be out there. Don't know if Mayor Bass is going to be out there. Then the president right now is playing on helicoptering. So 530, quarter six is what? 230. You've got a couple hours of daylight. Sun goes down about 530this time, 520in. In L. A by the ocean. President, a helicopter up to the Palisades and I'll spend an hour or so up there. I think there's going to be another roundtable meeting officials. But really the President should get on the ground and see what's going on. Remember, there's additional fires happening in L. A right now because of the, because of the wind conditions, more destruction, more devastation. The situation this afternoon is going to be quite different than this morning. What do I mean by that? The president signed an executive order. He's very focused on this deconstruction administration state. The president is very focused on, you know, efficiency and effectiveness. I don't know if Elon's gotten in his ear or not with Doge, but he is furious at female for however, the money was held back because the devastation he saw in western North Carolina today this is four months ago. This is four months ago, and it looked like nothing had been done. I mean, the devastation is horrible. He's very upset about that. He wanted everybody to know and first lady Melania Trump is with him. He wanted everybody to know he was going out there to see the forgotten man and woman. He's quite furious about. He's quite upset about fema. But he made a comment before he got on the plane that, hey, if FEMA had the money, did Joe Biden purposely stop this? And I think it's a big question out there today because of we had Joshua Pettit on here talking about these coastal commissioners, talking about these environmental there's so many laws, so many regulations, so many over the top, whether it's the delta smelt fish about the water or whether it's the cultural commissions about what you can cut down this whole thing that President Trump has warned Gavin Newsom about for years since he was out there at the Paradise Fire and walked around with Gavin Newsom, made a comment then about the Clarence clearing of the underbrush. It's quite controversial. And the American people, you know, they're talking about $200 billion of damage. They're also talking about an insurance industry that won't insure. I think somebody told me one third of the Palisades homes were uninsured because they say, hey, now you live in a fire zone and we can't insure you. We're going to get to all that when I go to Ben Berkwam. Ben is on the road. Ben will be back in. He'll be back in Chicago tomorrow. Ben, one your perspective on this morning, what you saw in North Carolina. And then I want to tee up what you and I are going to do in the 6 o'clock hour. Talk to me first about the visit to North Carolina Day you 10 days ago, Ben, you were out there as one of the driving forces, I think, to make sure the president and his staff understood people were hurting. These are people, the president's biggest backers, people that love the president. They've been abandoned by Joe Biden, abandoned by the administrative state. What did today, what did today mean to you, sir?
