Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Industrial Revival & Economic Growth

• Manufacturing Comeback:

  • Trump emphasizes a major resurgence in U.S. manufacturing, especially the auto industry. He credits this to aggressive tariff policies (“I did the tariffs. Nobody else would have done it because nobody else had the guts to do it.” — Trump, [02:50]).
  • First major tire rack deal in ten years, factory running two shifts, six days a week ([00:00]).

• Defiance Against Expert Consensus:

  • Trump reflects on policy opposition:
    • “22 Nobel Prize laureates on economics oppose you...They said we’d be in a recession. And you were right. This is the boom like [we’ve] never seen before.” — Trump, [02:10].

    • “‘I will put a 100% tariff on all the wine and champagne that you sell into the United States.’ And [Macron] said, ‘I will do it.’” — Trump, [35:10].

6. MAGA Messaging and Political Legacy

Analysis & Tone

The episode is highly celebratory and combative, blending boastful economic claims with pointed attacks on Democrats, expert economists, and the media. The speakers maintain a tone of “us versus them”—rallying loyalists by citing policy wins, alleged conspiracies, and urgent calls for unity and vigilance. There is a blend of humor (especially between Trump and celebrity athletes) and grievance, particularly in repeated references to election integrity and media bias.

Conclusion

This episode documents a live rally blending economic celebration, policy salesmanship, and political theater in Rome, Georgia. Trump and allies present his signature issues—tariffs, domestic industry, border security, and culture war—paired with an aggressive push for turnout in the 2026 election and against Democratic opposition in Georgia. Bannon and his guests amplify these themes post-speech, underlining the central position of Georgia in MAGA’s broader political and legal battles.

Transcript

[A]

July, the quotes, the orders, I couldn't keep up. They were coming non stop. In October of 2025, we landed our first huge tire rack deal that we had in 10 years. This is going to keep our racks department busy for two shifts a day, six days a week, and we're pumping them out as fast as we can go.

[B]

And they're all going to continue to watch President Trump at the steel factory down in Georgia. We will cover live all the way through and then go to the show.

[A]

Mr. President, what you've done for these guys down front, what you've done for

[B]

our entire economy, what you've done for

[A]

all of America, couldn't be done without your favorite word, terrorists. You did it. You're making America great again. You're making all these guys more in their wages. And we couldn't be more than happy to call you Mr. President. Wow. Good man. And, you know, I say the car industry is coming back. The plants from Canada, they took a lot of our car business. That was a good job. You know, he just said, you know, I had a speech to write, but I wanted to go from the heart. That's what you did. And much better. That's much better than reading a speech. But our car industry is coming back. Like nobody's ever seen. It's all coming. They stole it. 52% of our car industry over the last 30 years went back to, went to Germany, Japan, Mexico, Canada, all coming back. We're building plants all over the, all over the country. Nobody has ever seen anything like that. All because of, look, it's because of, I guess, November 5th, the election and all, but it's because of the election. I did the tariffs. Nobody else would have done it because nobody else had the guts to do it. And a great man, a great economist came in yesterday and said, sir, you did something that nobody has ever done. Nobody. 22 Nobel Prize laureates on economics oppose you on your theories on manufacturing and other things or the economy. And you were on one side and they were all on the other side. They said we'd be in a recession. And you were right. This is the boom like he's never seen before. And even crime is way down. Crime is at the lowest level in 125 years before my father was born. But he said, what you've done is amazing. You had 22 Nobel Prize winners in economics and you, and you were the exact opposite of every one of them. And they admitted. Now, every one of them admitted. But I had Howard on my side, a great secretary of Commerce, And I had Kelly on my side, and I have Fuller on my side. I know that I got my Fuller. You better win that election. And I had the lieutenant governor of this state on my side. Bert Jones. Bert Jones. You know, all these guys are coming in now loaded up with some money. Who the hell knows how much money he's got? But Bert Jones has been here and been with you and been with me right from the beginning. He's been with me for so long right from literally the first day. And Brandon, you've been so incredible. Secretary of the Treasury. That's pretty good. You've come a long way. He's a very successful state senator, with me all the way. These guys are with me all the way. I'm going to introduce them in a second. Another Georgian whose workers will benefit from our tax cuts is Kirk Cowan. Kirk owns the GMC Value Mart, a family business and a fixture of this community since 1971. With 100% expensing, a lot of people don't know what that means, but basically you'd be able to deduct over a 40 year period. We're letting you deduct your expenditure over one year. That crane is deducted. Probably. Knowing him, I think the crane is deducted before he even took shipment. But no, you're allowed to do it One year expensing, it's a big, big thing. It's why we had so many, why we were so successful in the first term and now we even expanded it and we made it 10 years. In other words, it's good for 10 years with 100% expensing, bonus depreciation and no tax on the overtime. And Kirk says that the tax cuts are helping him keep the store up and running and it's doing better than it's ever done before. So. Kirk, could you come on up for a second, please? Kirk, come on up. Kirk. Good looking guy. Come on. Good afternoon, Rome, Georgia. My name is Kirk Cowan and my family and I are proud to call this community home. I'm the owner of GMC Value Mart,

[B]

a family owned pharmacy and grocery combo

[A]

my parents started back in 1971. If you've ever shopped at GMC, you know we're not a big chain supermarket. We have fresh meats cut in house, we know our customers by name, and we work hard every day to keep prices fair for families. But running a small business isn't easy. Between fluctuating food costs, regulations, and pharmacy reimbursement rates that don't always reflect what we pay, it can feel like the deck is stacked against you. That's why policies that support small businesses really matter. Under President Trump's leadership, Section 179 limits have increased and permanent 100% bonus depreciation incentives make a huge difference. They allow us. Thank you. Allow us to reinvest in equipment, which doesn't just help owners, it helps keep prices down, keep people employed, and keep serving our neighbors. For us, that means upgrading our pharmacy to stay competitive and continuing to support local schools and community events. It means GMC valuemark can stay right where it belongs, right here in Rome, Georgia. I'm grateful to have a president who understands small businesses are the backbone of town like ours. Thank you, Mr. President, for standing with local businesses. It truly keeps places like ours alive. Thank you, Kirk. Good job. Really good job. You think it's easy for these guys to get up and do that? It ain't easy. It's not easy. And that was really a couple of great jobs. Another key part of our tax bill is Trump accounts. That's a big thing. These are the tax free investment accounts for every American child, starting with $1,000 for every newborn baby. Every newborn baby. I also want to thank Michael and Susan Dell. Dell, go out and buy a Dell computer because I'll tell you, they don't care about that. They care about this. They make a great product. They're not looking for any publicity. I give them publicity. They say, well, thank you very much, but it's okay. He put up, they put up 6 billion, 250 million. He started making computers on his bed. All of a sudden he's got down. But he's a phenomenal person. She's a phenomenal woman. And they fund the accounts and they're going to have, we're going to have funded 25 million children. So when they get to be 18 or 21, like these young, beautiful kids up front, they'll end up with a potentially really good nest egg, depending on, you know, where the economy goes a little bit. But they could be quite rich. And it's, they start with $1,000 and a lot of people now are putting tremendous amounts because you're allowed to come in and put your money into those accounts. And a lot of people doing it actually way, way over, over what we thought would be. It's been tremendous. I want to thank Michael and Susan. Joining us today is Bree Thomas, a local women's clothing boutique owner, along with her husband Austin, their newborn son, AJ. Bri and Austin are very excited to launch AJ's Trump account with millions of dollars Think of this. Millions and millions of dollars being put into these various accounts. But on July 4th of this year, think of it. All you have to do is go to the trumpaccounts.gov, go to trumpaccounts.gov People are putting in money, and the people themselves are putting millions of Americans who will benefit from these pro job, pro worker, pro child policies. But Georgia's Senator John Ossoff and every Democrat in Congress voted against them. He voted John Ossoff. You know, I. I competed with him numerous times. He ran against a woman. I think her name was Karen Handel. And he was leading her, and they called for help. I came down and helped, and she won. That was his first experience with me. And then I never heard from her again. I think she said, thank you. But she ran another race a couple of years later. She didn't win. She never asked me for help. That was a mistake. But she won. And then Ossoff somehow got involved in the Senate race. I said, no, he's easy to beat. He's a real stiff. Real stiff. You know what a stiff is? He's a real stiff. We don't want people like that representing Georgia. Who would think that Georgia has a stiff anyway? And with us today are some of the amazing warriors who, unlike Ossoff, have stood up for the people of Georgia, including Congressman Brian Jack, Mike Collins, and Barry Loudermilk. You guys out. Come up, fellas. Come up. I got to get you. I got to get these guys up. These are great people. Come on up. Proud of every. They're warriors. But Loudermilk is going to take it easy now. I can't believe it. She's leaving. I can't believe it. We want him to stay. Say hello, fellas. Come on, Barry. Mr. President, as I was sitting out there and I was looking back here at the crane, you remember, first term, we were all on the Trump train. I think we ought to have a Trump crane right here, right? See Trump cranes all over. All over manufacturing plants in the United States. Look, the greatest honor that I've ever had serving the people of Georgia is to work with this fine gentleman right here. He called me back in Memorial Day weekend. I got a call from the White House and said, president would like to come meet with you in the oval office on June 1st. So I headed up to D.C. and I got over the office early, and when I walked in, we got a picture made, and we were talking about something pretty important about the investigation January 6th. But after we talked about that, the conversation changed. And he started telling me about this golden era of America. And when I got back to the office, the staff asked, how did the meeting go? And I couldn't stop talking about the golden era of America. I said, we're going to return to that time in America that we all heard about, but our children have never experienced. And we are seeing that come to fruition right now because of your leadership. Thank you, Mr. President. Well, it is good to be back in Rome, Georgia. Do we have anybody here from Georgia's third congressional district? So that's my district, Mr. President. And the last time you and I shared a stage was in Rome, Georgia, two years ago when you endorsed me for before Congress. It is special to welcome you back here. We're celebrating today passage of the working families tax cut. And as the president brought folks on stage, it is abundantly clear those tax cuts are working here in Georgia. They're working across the country, and they're going to help us win in 2026. I have the privilege of representing a district whose father represented behind me, Mike Collins. Father Matt Collins represented my district for 12 years, and he is running to replace Jon Ossoff. So with that, I introduce Mike Collins. Thank you, Mr. President. Boy, that tie looks sharp on you. You look good. Thank you. What's up, Rome, Georgia? I want y' all to know something.

[B]

It is a true honor and privilege

[A]

to serve you in Congress and represent Georgia's 10th district. But I want to say one more thing. It is probably the greatest time in the history of this country to be a member of Congress because we've got true leadership and the guidance of President Donald J. Trump. And I want you to know a couple of things. Now, we, we need to grow our majority in the House so that we can continue with an America first agenda. But, folks, we got to make sure that we put the right Republicans in to help us to get this job done. And Clay Fuller, you're going to help us do that. I'm going to leave you with one last thing. Go vote. You have got to get out and vote.

[B]

You get out and vote.

[A]

You help us grow this majority. You help us out in November. I'm going to kick ass off out of the state's U.S. senate. We're going to restore Georgia values up in that Senate. And y', all, we are going to continue to take our country back. Thank you. I'll tell you, Loudermilk, I said you were the one that they caught giving a tour of Congress to a couple of kids and a mother and a father and they said that they were Communists. They were actually constituents from Georgia. And it angered him so much that he became a wild man. And he was very effective. And I appreciate. I always say he did. They picked on the wrong guy. Here's the guy shows up with a couple of really nice country beautiful people with their two kids. He's showing them the Capitol, and they said he's showing them classified information. He's showing. The people didn't even know what. That nobody knew what they were talking about. These people are sick. But I want to tell you louder, Milk, that was very cool. You. You didn't take it easily. And problem. A lot of Republicans are nice. Republicans are too nice. And they just sort of would listen and they won't comment. Barry decided to comment, to put it mildly. You made them go through hell. I want to just tell you, you've had a hell of a career, and I hear you're not running. And we're going to have somebody very good. You know that. But you are fantastic and did a great job. Thank you very much, Barry. Thank you. Very proud of you. I also want to thank Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who's got more good ideas. He's a very, very, very successful guy. Thank you, Howard. Howard Lutnick, we have some big things happening, and I introduce you already to SBA administrator Kelly Loeffler, who's an unbelievable woman doing an unbelievable job. Never lets you down. Treasurer of the United States of America, Brandon Beach. She is a winner. A winner and a friend. And he's another one. I didn't know him, but I kept hearing these wonderful things about a guy named Brandon beach, and he was fighting for us. By the way, did you see they raided the Fulton County Place storage house, and now the Democrats have hired a massive team of lawyers. They have the ballots. That should be no problem, right? They have the ballots. FBI came in and raided. They found plenty of stuff. And now they have the ballots. And the Democrats are fighting like hell. And I think it goes before a judge tomorrow to not let anybody see the ballots. Why don't they want them to see the ballots after all these years? You know why they don't want? Because they cheated. That's why they sent top lawyers down from New York to fight it. And I think it goes before a judge tomorrow sometime. They don't want him to see the ballot. They've taken the ballots. They have them now. After years, they got an order from the court, signed order from a very respected judge, and now they're trying to stop Anybody from looking. You know why? Because they cheated like dogs. Agriculture Commissioner from Georgia, Tyler Harper. Tyler, thank you. Nice hat. Nice hat. State Senator elect Steven McNeil. A great guy. Thank you, Steven. Thank you. Great guy. State Representative Katie Dempsey. Thank you, Katie. Great job, Katie. Thank you. Georgia legend. Ambassador. Well, let me tell you, he may be because, you know, Bert Jones was a really good football player. And we have Gunner Stockton here today. And he's really good. He's really good. But even Gunner would admit that it's going to be tough to beat the legend of Herschel Walker. Do you agree, Gunner? Come on. Because, you know, Lieutenant Governor Bert Jones was a great football player, too. But I said I heard you were great, Bert, but you were not. You were not. Herschel. Hey, Herschel, come on up with Gunner. Bring Gunner up here. Come on. Gunner has been a fan. I heard about this great quarterback for Georgia. Young guy, handsome guy. We don't like handsome guys. I don't like being around him. I don't want anything to do with handsome people. But Gunner is a big star and a really talented quarterback. But I heard much more importantly, he's a Trump fan. So he was standing at the plane and anybody that likes me, I like them. But I hear he's got a fantastic future. Gunner and Herschel, say a few words, please. This is a great opportunity just to meet a president and Donald Trump. This is an awesome experience and I'm just glad to be here. God is good. Promises made, promises kept. This is the president right here that's gonna go down in history as one of the greatest president the United States has ever had. Standing before you right now is President Donald J. Trump. Because what he's done, what he's done, he's given his blood, sweat and tears for the United States of America. So we got to get out and vote and do the same thing. Because if we do not do that, we will lose this country. Because men shouldn't be in women's sports. I know what a woman is. I know that guys should not ever be in women's sports. I know that we should. We should always respect the law because it's written in the Bible. And we got to get back to what things are and make it simple. Make it simple and make it easy. This is the president to do it. Get out and vote, vote, vote, vote the correct way. Because we want to save America. Thank you, President Trump. I love you. I told him I will always fight for him. I've known him since 1983. And I tell you what, he's the Same man in 83 that he is right now, and I love him to death. Thank you, President. I'm looking at these two guys. They're like steel. I'm hitting them in the shoulders and it's like my hand isn't the same. They're like steel. Any women would like to tackle these two guys, please? I don't know. This whole thing with men and women sports is not working out too well. What a joke. But we added the new one. I'm telling you, we have a couple of new ones coming up. You know, it's all about. It's all about common sense. I also want to call up an incredible leader and a friend of mine for a long time. And I just want to let you know, a lot of people running this man has my complete and total endorsement. It's not like, oh, gee, let me think about it. Bert Jones has been an incredible leader. He's been an incredible politician. He was a really great football player, but he has just been solid as a rock, and he loves this state so much. And I really want to see him when people are coming in with lots of money and lots of everything else. But Bert has, number one, he has my endorsement. Number two, he has the greatest career. He has been really, really good at what he does. I think Brandon would agree with that. Everybody would agree with that. Bert's been very special, so. And I know Bert's father Bill is around someplace. Where's Bert's father? Bill is so great. You know, Bill was a big shot in this, but Bert's going to take it to another level. Right? That's what we want. That's what his father wants, too. Bert, come up for a second, please? Well, needless to say, is he not the finest president that we've ever had in our lifetime? And I appreciate the compliment, Mr. President, but I can promise you I don't even sit in the same room with Gunner Stockton and Herschel Walker in my playing days. In fact, I asked Gunner Stockton, how many SEC championship rings do you have? He said, maybe three, four, something like that. I was like, we didn't get. We. We only got one when I played, you know, and that shows you how he is a. He's a great football player, but he's an even better young man. So I just really appreciate being with him today. But I want to tell you this real quick. The reason why I've supported Donald J. Trump since 2016 through 2020 to 2024 is because he has done exactly what he said he's going to do in this for this country. When he said he's going to put America first, he did just that. He shut down the border. He's bringing jobs back to this country. He's, he's making us the top world leader on the world stage. People now fear the United States and respect us all at the same time, which is very good. But when we were traveling down the roads here in Rome, Georgia, he was asking me all these questions and I was sitting here while, you know, I'm not really from here, Mr. President, but I can tell you as much. I want to tell you, I was like, rome, Georgia is, is, is blue collar America. Rome, Georgia is a place where they've got great law enforcement because they got a good sheriff here. They got great health care services right here. They got great leadership like Katie Dempsey right here. And it is a microcosm of what this country looks like. And so if we want to keep Georgia red, which we do, we need to elect America first. Trump endorsed candidates across the board and I'm so proud to have his endorsement right here because us taking that senate seat back and keeping the governor's seat in the Republican, Republican column starts right here in the 14th district right here. So we gotta have your support and we appreciate you and we appreciate everything you do, Mr. President, because you are, you are the best. So thank you very much. Thank you, Bert. Great job. You got to get out and vote for Bert. That whole group, that whole group, you may have heard that last year the murder rate saw its single largest decline in recorded history to the lowest level in 125 years. With us today is a tough on crime district attorney here in northwest Georgia who helped achieve that feat, putting violent criminals behind bars where they belong. And I just want to introduce you because I know he spoke before for a couple of minutes and I heard what he said and I loved what he said. It just made me even feel stronger about him. He's an incredible young guy. He's going to be, I think he's going to be just a total winner and it's what we want. Clay Fuller and Clay, you have my total and complete. Come on up if you want Clay. Come on up. We want to vote for Clay. He's going to take it home. Total winner. Everybody loves him. I don't mean to disagree with Ambassador Herschel Walker and the Lieutenant Governor, but I want to see if the crowd agrees with me. Beside me is the greatest president in our country's history. Mr. President, I know you like a winner and that's what we're going to do on March 10, we're going to win this. We're going to go to Capitol Hill and we are going to be a warrior for northwest Georgia and we're going to be a warrior for this man. And we will never stop fighting for the MAGA movement and President Donald Trump. And sir, the endorsement was the honor of my lifetime. But I was wondering if you could do me one more favor. My beautiful daughter is here. Tallulah. She got detention to come and see you speak today. Could you pardon her, please? Okay. Thank you, Clay. Tallulah. Where's Tallulah? Stand up, Tallulah. Tallulah, you are fully pardoned. Don't worry. Just tell the teacher I said it's fine and you have a great father. We got to get out and vote for him. Tallulah. Thank you. Thank you, honey. Our tax cuts, regulation cuts, energy price cuts and job creating trade policies are rapidly pulling America out of the economic disaster. That Biden and the horrible people that he surrounded himself with, he wasn't calling the shots. He wasn't calling the shots. The auto pen people were calling the shots. Whoever the hell worked the auto pen, I don't know how he did it. You know, I have people. Sir, would you sign this? We're making a four star general. Sir, would you sign this? We're doing a big plant. Would you. They're all important. You don't give that to an auto pen. It's so demeaning. You're a general, you're an admiral. You don't give that to an auto pen to sign after gasoline skyrocket to over $5 a gallon. And in some places, seven, eight and even $9 a gallon. Under Biden, our policies have brought gas prices way down. And now at $2.37 a gallon. But I was in, I was in a beautiful place called Iowa two weeks ago. $1.85 a gallon for gasoline. Way down. All of it has come down. We inherited a mess with high prices and high inflation and we've turned it around and we've made it great. And they don't mention, like I said before, they don't mention the word affordability, Kelly. They don't mention. I haven't heard the word in two weeks because they can't get away with the gig. It's all a con job with them. Airfares, hotels, car payments, rent, sports events, groceries, everything's down. Everything's down. Dairy, eggs, potatoes and chicken core inflation is now the lowest of any time in more than seven years. The last three months, we've had the lowest inflation we have had in over a decade. The last three months, it's 1.4%. We had record inflation. You don't have it anymore. I'm going to make a State of the Union address on Tuesday. I hope you're going to watch and we're going to be talking about it, but you don't hear the word affordability. You know, they just say the word. They look at the camera, say affordability. And I'd be watching, I'd say, oh, I can't believe it. Do people believe it? They would say affordability. Everybody would say, oh, Trump's cause. No, no. They crossed. They caused the affordability problem and we've solved it. And we're going still lower, but we've solved it. But more importantly, we've created, we've brought back the American dream and we have a country. I think that within the next 12 months, maybe sooner, but within the next 12 months, it's going to be the greatest it's ever been. I don't think we've ever seen anything. When Seymour told me yesterday, he said, we've never seen numbers. We're going to have an explosion of success. And that's exactly. And the more successful our country, the more successful everybody in this room is. And under Biden, real wages plummeted by $3,000 a year. And there's still much to do, frankly. But our numbers came up. We outpaced inflation for the first time in decades. We increased wage gains for a typical worker outpaced. Outpaced inflation by over $1,400. For minors, it was $2,200. And for the typical worker at factories like this one, it was almost $4,000 a year that we outpaced inflation. And that hasn't happened in many, many years. Every day we're fighting to reduce costs and bring down prices for hardworking citizens, including crushing costs on healthcare. And in fact, I read a nice story a few months ago. I love to read things about health care. Can you believe it? I didn't used to read it. Now I read it. And what happened is I see that healthcare was spending. Insurance companies are getting from our country for healthcare trillions and trillions of dollars. And their stock prices have gone up by as much as 1,700%. How would you like to invest in those stocks? 1700%. And I said, right then and there, I said, and it went viral. And knowing nothing about it, it went viral, I said, we shouldn't pay the insurance companies anymore. We should pay the trillions of dollars directly to the people and let the people buy their own health care, put it in a health care account, and people loved it. And we're looking at it. We're looking at. The problem is the Democrats are totally bought off and taken care of by the insurance companies. So they don't want to do it. They don't want to do it because they're captive to the insurance companies under our Most Favored Nation agreements. And this is the thing that I think every Republican should win on, even if you hate them in every other way. Agreements for drug prices. We're slashing drug prices by 400, 500, even 600%. Nobody's ever seen anything like it because we were paying the highest drug prices in the world, and now we're paying whatever the lowest prices in the world. That's the price we're paying. And to do that was also tariffs. I went, I called countries. When I finally got the health care companies, the people that make the drugs, to do it. And remember, that's going to lower your healthcare because medicine's a big part of the drugs, and it's coming down at numbers like that. But I got the drug companies to do it. And then they said, doesn't matter, you'll never get the countries to do it, because the countries had to agree. So a pill that's selling for $10 in New York is selling, let's say in London, in New York is selling for $130, 13 times more. Think of that, 13 times more. So they said, there's no way they'll ever do it. I said, yes, there is, 100%. I started calling the heads of countries like France, Emmanuel Macron, he's a good guy. I said, emmanuel, you're going to have to double the price of your, you know, see, the world is bigger, so you don't have to bring it up, like, to the middle. They would have to double or triple the price, but that's a lot for a politician. I said, emmanuel, you're going to have to lift your price by double or triple. No way. I will not do that, Donald. Why would I do that? I would be out of business. They said, no, you're going to do it 100%. No, no, no, I will not do that. I will not do that. Yes, you will. You're going to do it. And he said, no, no. I said, here's the story. If you don't do it, I'm going to put a 100% tariff on all of the Wine and champagne that you sell into the United States. And you know what he said? I will do it. I will gladly do it. And that's going to cost you many, many times more. Right? Howard heard me with many people. I called Germany, I called many, many countries. Spain. Spain was now, we won't do that. He laughed at me, thought I was a fool. We won't do that, sir. Why would I do a thing like that? Because I'm going to charge you tariffs if you don't. And the tariffs are going to cost you much more than what we're talking about. And they all said, like I said, we'd love to do it. We'd be honored to do it. So the Republicans should win on that alone. Your drug prices are coming down by 70, 80, 90%. Or depending on the way you figure it, 5006-007008-00900%. Think of it. Depending on the way you want to calculate, there's two ways of calculating that number. We're also expanding the dream of homeownership, and we are really right now in American dream territory. One of the biggest factors driving up housing costs was the Biden border invasion which brought in millions and millions of people flooding into your communities, getting government subsidies on homes. Foreign born workers now make up over one third of all demand for Georgia housing, driving up rent and housing costs. Now that we've secured our border, we stopped the invasion. Think of this. Millions of people came through our border every single year. Millions and millions of people in the last eight months. I don't even believe this could be possible. But it's close. Zero. And that's done by radical left Democrats. Now, not one person in the last eight months has come through our border, except if they come through legally. So rent prices have hit four year lows based on what we've done by bringing down mortgage rates. We've also slashed the yearly cost of new mortgages by $4,000 a year. And new mortgage applications are up 30%. And Kelly Loeffler is doing a fantastic job. In the last 12 months, Fannie and Freddie Mac helped 22,000 first time home buyers purchase a home right here in the great state of Georgia. I love Georgia. We won Georgia big, didn't we? Too big to rig. It was too big to rig. Vote for Bert Jones. Vote for Fuller. To continue this trend, I'm ending the scam of Wall street firms and large institutional investors. Buying up all of the single family homes all over. They go in, they buy 10,000 houses, then people come out and they Say we can't buy a house. I ended it. Now you go out and buy a house. They can't do it anymore. Georgia was affected by this issue more than almost any state in the union. But America will not become a nation of renters. We're not going to have a nation of renters. That's why I recently signed an executive order to ban Wall street and large institutional investors from buying those single family homes. Can't do it. Not allowed to do it. Not allowed to do it. They were buying tens of thousands of houses, just buying them and putting them in the market for rent. And to stop surges in food prices, we take care of our amazing farmers. Nobody's taken care of farmers like I have. Nobody's ever received the votes of farmers like I have either. I also recently issued $12 billion out of all the tariff money. We're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We're going to be taking in next year, $900 billion in tariffs. Unless the Supreme Court said you can't do it. Can you believe it? That I have to be up here trying to justify that with people like you. I have to put you on a stage in front of your family. But you did very well. So could have been very embarrassing, right? You did very well. But it's a shame that I have to justify this because it's just common sense. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars out of that. I gave $12 billion to our farmers because they were taken advantage of by many, many foreign nations. And just over one year ago, we inherited, amassed the results of ruinous inflation, economic surrender, a border invasion. They invaded our country. Rampant crime and chaos all over the world. But today we've ended that disaster. America is back, our economy is roaring and our country is respected again. Respected like never ever again before. We've achieved more in one year than most administrations achieve in eight years. And we're just getting started. Oh, we're just getting started. We got things that are happening that are as good as what you've heard. I don't know if they can get better, to be honest, but they're. They're good. With the help of Georgians, we are here today. We'll be keep. We're going to have you do something. We're going to have you keep on working, working. Keep on fighting together. We're going to make America great again. You know, I came up with that phrase a long time ago. Make America great again. Who would have thought? It turns out to be rated. Not by me, by anybody, by Stupid people. Frankly, anybody would rate it the number one phrase in the history of politics in America, right? It's called make America great again. That's what we've done. And when the past administration and guys like Barack Hussein Obama, have you heard of him? When they get up and they say, we will stop maga, we are going to fight maga. We must stop maga. I say, no, no, MAGA means make America great again. You don't want to stop that. And we're doing that. And we're doing it at a much more rapid pace than we ever thought possible. Even the enemies are saying, what's happened in this country in one year is a miracle. And it's not a miracle. It's common sense. It's smart people working with incredible people like you. The people of Georgia, I want to thank you very much and to this steel mill. I'm going to come back here in two years, I'm going to look it up. You'll be three times bigger. And I appreciate it. Great words. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. There's no need to feel down. I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground. I said, young man. Cause you're in a new town, there's no need to be unhappy. Young man, there's a. Stay up on ymca. You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal, you can do whatever you feel. Young man, are you listening to me? I said, young man, what do you wanna be? I met a young man. You can make million dreams but you got to know this one thing no man does it all by himself. I said a young man put your pride on the shelf and just go there.

Rome, Georgia Northwest Georgia MPG old district to support the candidate in the primary. He had a who's who of MAGA Georgia politicians up there. Welcome.

[A]

You're in the war room.

[B]

We had an amazing show scheduled for you. But honestly, that speech by the president as he was throwing some bombs out there was just incredible. How you know who could do that. He had a major speech today in the. Had a major speech in at the Board of Peace and to come to Georgia tour factories, all of it, and made a major economic speech. John Gardner is actually going to join me during War Room Texas, which follows the show. I want to go to Philip Patrick right now. Philip, as one of the leading analysts on gold in the. In the world, President Trump, and I think he understands that the Supreme Court's coming back with tariffs. He came down hard on tariffs today. Tariffs have turned this thing around. Tariffs are a national Security issue. I mean, he's challenging the Supreme Court of these United States to reverse that decision. Sir, listen, we've got to do something. We have a revenue problem. You and I have talked about this for a long time. It's something that the Democrats did not understand, right. All they wanted to do was expand deficits and go out and spend. We have a real desperate problem. We have a revenue issue and we have to close the gaps. He's talking about potentially $900 billion. That's almost half of our entire deficit in revenue that they're considering giving back. It's nonsensical. It doesn't make sense. At the end of the day, President Trump is saying to people, if you want to play in our market, the largest market in the world, you're going to have to pay to do so. I don't think there's anything wrong with that longer term. In fact, he's been doing an incredibly good job. Right? He's been, he's had everything sort of working against him. But in terms of what's been achieved in a 12 month period, it's incredible in terms of productivity, in terms of attracting capital. But there's a ton of work to do and tariffs will be central to that work. People are worried. You know, there's all this discussion about the dollar and what's going on today. We had your home country, England told us, and I'm going to discuss this on Warm Texas, because it's directly related to the Islamic takeover of the United Kingdom that we can't use the air bas that we put some of our most important bombers out of from the United Kingdom to if there's a potential attack in, is a potential attack in Iran. What does that say about the world's geopolitical situation right now? And what does that mean for physical gold? Look, the world is fracturing, right? We're seeing it play out in front of us. China are pushing for sort of global influence. Tariffs are huge upside. But it's also shaking things up. Listen, America first agenda requires us to shake things up. This is a period of transition. There's always going to be volatility. Short term, we're seeing some capital flight. But like I said, Trump's doing a lot of what he needs to do to strengthen our position. We're reindustrializing, we're attracting capital. Now we just need to work on the other side of things, which is fiscal discipline. That's going to be key in making sure we survive longer term. The Europeans have been our partners for a long long time. Things are getting shaky. I'm hoping the Brits come to their senses because it's nonsensical. Well, President Trump also said that, hey, we're not going to let you give the Diego Garcia away. I now realize that this is a major strategic asset and it's not going to happen. Where do people go? We got about a minute.

What was it like to be in

[A]

the room packed house here, Cruces Steel. Trump toured the steel plan earlier and he was talking about how he brought $18 trillion back to the economy in year one and 70,000 new construction jobs recently. And you know, these are cranes to build the factories that are coming back to America, Steve and he's cutting regulations, allowing capex, you know, additional expenditures, more write offs over longer periods of time. Really important because this goes in line both with what our Pentagon is doing and private industry partnerships. Georgia big defense contractors here. And Trump was, you know, covering all of these topics here and bringing up like Mike Collins running for the US Senate and Bert Jones who's behind in the polls to Rick Jackson for for governor. But I interviewed Greg Dolezal who is the state senator and he's also exposing Bolton county election fraud. And I watched the hearings you posted

[B]

today while I was driving up here.

[A]

Extraordinary Democrats had access to information Republicans didn't and then they banned it from both parties and the Democrats still wound up with the information. And now it's unveiled that illegals or undocumented workers or you know, people here were allowed to register to vote, if not vote.

[B]

Hang on. Tomorrow, tomorrow. Hang on. We're going to start tomorrow with we're going to start tomorrow. We got John Solomon, a bunch of big revelations in Georgia, the Georgia crew back up here. The president finally stepped up today. This why like he's engaged and what the president talk about? Well, we've been hammering here in the war room. He said, hey, they're bringing in all the big New York attorneys to go to Georgia to to argue next week. And of course there's an argument tomorrow, just a preliminary hearing, but to try to next Friday at trial and try to get the evidence back, try to get the ballots and try to get the tabulators. What do you think of that? David ZIER? Oh, we lost the audio. DAVID Sierra, let's Go and reboot it. Let's go ahead and reboot it. David Zier right there. Big thing the president said in the speech. What the president said in the speech was, hey, they're bringing all these lawyers down there. What have we been hammering on war in the last couple days? People waking up to it. President knows they're trying to get. They're trying to get. They're trying to get the ballots. And the tabulous spot John Solomon's gonna be on tomorrow morning, I believe, then John Solomon is gonna be with us also in the afternoon. And on his show, he's got explosive stuff that's coming out. And what's happening in Georgia is explosive. Mike Lindell, you fought this fight, brother. They tried to bankrupt you. The FBI was gonna put you in prison. You were okay. Nobody picked on you, brother. I want people to know this. Nobody picked on Lindell. Nobody did anything on Lindell. While Lindell was just an average business guy, right? Just running a business. But as soon as you opened your mouth about the voting in this country, and you were Amy Klobuchar, you were buddies, all these Democrats up there, as soon as you open it up, all sudden, Mike Lindell's a bad guy. Mike Lindell's a wingnut. My pillow's gotta be shut down. We gotta bankrupt Mike Lindell, and now we got him on the run. And that's why we cannot ease up at all in the great state of Georgia.

[A]

Mike Lindell, absolutely, Steve. I had all this information four years ago. This was all this is, Mike was right news. I was right all everything I had back then. Not just Georgia, but everywhere else, all the swing states. And everywhere as it comes out now, isn't it funny? Now they're sending people down to fight this. We're winning this battle. It needs to all come out. We've always said, Fix 20, 21st. Well, the reason you do that, you gotta expose all this fraud. You got Georgia. I'm hoping they're gonna get to Arizona. Pennsylvania had more votes than voters. Come on, everybody. And so it's very exciting times. And you're right, Steve. They continue to go after me even after Donald Trump won the 20. As we speak, everybody, I'm sitting here doing a full audit. That's gotta be done by tomorrow for Keith Ellison, for my Lindell recovery Network. This all goes back to Arctic Frost to attack anybody that's questioned our elections, starting with Georgia Crooked Brad Ratzenberger down there, one of the big. We'll find out sooner or later. Brad Ratzenberg behind so much in Georgia. And I'll tell you, I think I bad mouth him and all the Democrats put together. I mean, the stuff that goes on down there, it's the biggest cover up of the biggest crime in history, Steve. And what we've done, we have after five years and your show has helped so much. We have uncovered, gotten through the biggest cover up of the biggest crime this country's ever seen. And it's coming out now. It's people say, well, Mike, do you feel vindicated? I won't feel vindicated until we secure our election platforms once and for all and we have real elections here in the United States. But Steve, I want to get on that kind of ties in. So my pillow, we're still standing. We're moving into a new factory, everybody. And what we've found is all these products that we're going to discontinue. These are, we're going to bring them to the War Room posse up to 80% off. And one of the things we found was these cups that I bought back then, Save America.
