Foreign. December 17, we are gearing up for President Donald John Trump to address the nation. 9:00pm from the White House. And we have had the A team on the ground here today. Brian Glenn was at the White House, David Zier, the great John Solomon, Mark Serrano. Getting you set on what we expect, what we'd like to hear from the President of the United States here tonight. Please let me bring in and welcome not only to the show, but here to the network, the one and only. You see him each and every morning, 10 to 12, 5 to 6. The one and only Steve Bannon. Mr. Bannon, welcome on in. How are you? Damon, thank you so much. Looking forward to this night. Give me your thoughts. What are you looking for? You guys are pretty hard hitting up there in Long Island. We got to win Long Island. We gotta, we gotta, we gotta sweep out there in the midterms. What are you guys looking for tonight? Well, we know we've talked to John and Mark and everybody tonight. And I tried not to make it too simple, but I said to John, it seems to me that the president tonight, his job, as we think about kicking off the midterms, is to make the very simple argument of maybe not, maybe not so much are you better off than you were, but maybe the simple argument of us versus them, maybe this has taken a little bit. Some people think things are still unaffordable. They look around and they see things maybe not happening as fast as they like to, but the president tonight, I think can make the argument us versus them in the long term, capitalism, upward mobility, free markets, you controlling your own life, less government, less taxes, less regulation is still the recipe for the American dream and for success in this country. And you voted for me for a reason. And we are out here doing it. We've done things in 10 months that no one has ever seen before. But yet I think the president takes maybe a little more serious and somber tone. It's not all going to be, hey, we're the best, we're the best. Look at all we've done. But we're going to balance that with this is still the winning recipe for your life as opposed to what we're about to see undertaken in New York City and other places like that. Damon is the Mack Daddy on Drudge says reset. Do you see this in the guys at six speed? Do you guys see it more as a. Is it a reset or is a talk about finish what we started? I mean, I'll toss it around to the guys here. I don't necessarily have to see it as a reset, at least from the President's point of view, because you look at the President's number and I've been listening to Mark Mitchell on your show, and the President's numbers are on the rebound. The people who maybe need the reset is in the House and in the Senate, in Congress, and guys like John Thune standing there mucking it up, but acting like they're actually trying to be helpful to the President. I think that's where we need a reset. We need to reset in primaries, we need a reset in candidates, we need to reset there. But I don't think the President of the United States needs a reset. I think he can still make the case of, you know, you elected me for a reason, I'm doing it. You may not be feeling it completely, totally, 100% yet, but you will. If you trust us, we will get you there. So I don't, I don't think it's a reset. Delgado, what do you think? I don't hear Delgado. Hey, Steve. I don't see it as a reset either. I said this one once. The, the campaign and, and the election was over in 2024 is, is don't get comfortable because this, this doesn't mean we won. This just means the game is now started. And I feel like this is the next inning, this is maybe the second inning we're heading into because this first inning of the last 10, 11 months has been a hard hitting, hard hitting operation. And there's a lot, you know what, it's one thing we've seen not only from D.C. because those swamp, swamp animals, but also from the American people, they get very, very comfortable with things the way they're done. And nobody wants to see change. And I think the rapid fire change is what we're going to start to really start to see unfold in this next year coming up, especially when it comes to the economy. And I applaud the President and Susie Wiles for saying, you know what? I'm going to be getting the President out there campaigning like it's the election all over again, because that's what it is. If he does not, if we don't win the midterms, he will be under attack those last two years with impeachments, you name it. Everything under the sun from the Democrat guys. Hang on for one second. I'm gonna go to Washington D.C. let's go to our own John Solomon in the, our DC studio. John Solomon, is this a reset tonight or is it a marker along finish what we started. Now listen you can't take Matt Drudge's side anymore seriously. It's become an anti Trump screed of extraordinary proportion. If he knew what was going on in the White House, he might be able to report it more effectively. Listen, most of what the president said he was going to do is on a checklist. You could check it down. I think the problem is that most of the reporting coverage has been on overseas matters and Americans are still wondering, what about us. I know he got all the things done, but it doesn't quite feel like it's hit our dinner table. I compare the moment we're in now to the moment in the summer and fall of 92 where George Bush was saying the economy is getting better. By the way, it was getting better. We were coming out of recession. But the impact of that revival is months away. The good news or the bad news for George Bush is the reality. The dinner table didn't hit until after Bill Clinton was president. For Donald Trump, the reality of what he did this year is going to hit in the first and second quarter of next year. And you're going to see optimism and excitement. And there's no amount of stunts that the Democrats can pull that will take away the fact that interest rates will be down and people have more spending money in December. There are always two big indicators of what sort of economy we have. The first is the small business optimism. Small business optimism went up in November and December in the polling that we're seeing. And two, how were Christmas sales? And Black Friday was an all time digital record online and Cyber Monday similarly. So people are spending more money. They don't spend more money if they feel like they're heading into a bad year. And so the narrative that the Democrats and the media keep telling people, they keep shoving that spoon in our mouth saying it's a bad economy, but in fact it isn't. And Donald Trump will be able to show that because it'll feel that way in March, April, May, June of next year. That's what Scott Bessen is saying. And by the way, that's what even Democrat economists are telling me right now. Brian Glenn at the White House, what do you got for me? Yeah, good evening, Steve. This, we're about what, seven minutes away from this speech. Now, this is a little different. Traditionally, what you've seen from President Trump, this will be taking place in what they call the diplomatic reception room that is on the ground floor from the South Lawn. That's typically a reception area for heads of state and dignitaries. Of that this is one of three rooms in the residence side of the White House. They have a little different feel than the traditional Oval Office behind the desk, but nevertheless a few minutes away. And I agree 100% with what John Solomon just said. I think you're going to really address some of the kitchen table issues. Less of Wall street and more on Main street and how looking ahead can be a better life for Americans going into the 2026 mids. Solomon's point, let me. We're going to do it in the diplomatic reception room, correct? Not in the Oval Office night diplomatic reception room. Tell people physically where is that you've been with the president a lot. Where is this going to be located? Okay, this is all on the SAF lawn. It's, it's, it's adjacent to the SAF lawn. Today. I had a brief moment to kind of look in that direction when he made his arrival back to the White House. But it's on the ground floor of the residence portion of the White House. It's not in the Oval Office. It's not a, you know, structured room like that. There's three oval rooms in this residence portion of the White House and this is typically where they receive heads of state. So it's kind of will be a unique look, if you will, Steve, tonight, as we have not seen President Trump do a formal speech from that room. From what I can tell this year it's usually been in the East Room of the Oval Office or even on the South Lawn or some of the front, north lawn here behind me. But tonight will be a very special moment. Maybe it sets in a little different tone of what you can see. Maybe it's a softer look for President Trump rather than behind a desk, a formal desk in the Oval Office. But we are about five minutes away. From what I understand, Steve, this speech will be about 20 to 30 minutes as it reads. But as we know, President Trump likes to sometimes go off the script. We might see a little ad lib in there, but I don't think we're going to have a long speech tonight. 20, 30 minutes max. And as John Solomon said, it's really going to hammer home more on kitchen table issues related to less than Wall street and what, what people can look ahead for 20, 26. Hey, Solomon, I'm not so sure. I think the broadcast is giving you 20 minutes. I mean, you may go over, but this, you know, the broadcast is very hesitant to do this unless there's, they will give you an address from the White house in the 20 minutes. If you've Got something to say. Now the question is, was this tied to the Vanity Fair piece mean, why all of a sudden did the President want to address the nation about how we've done in 2025? Don't get me wrong, that's great. And traditionally, as you know, brother, you've been around a lot longer. And Brian Glenn and I, the president traditionally has an end of year press conference, but since we do a presser from every day, it seems like in a bilat. Why did the White House call for this and why did broadcast TV agree to give him 20 to 30 minutes? Well, first off, he started planning this speech three weeks ago. They were driving, drafting it two weeks ago. I saw an early draft two weeks ago floating around the White House. And so this has been planned for a while because he's so omnipresent and press conferences and answering questions, it's not an effective tool to snap attention in the American home. Right. We're out getting Christmas shopping. We're doing our things. You got kids to soccer games and homework. And so doing it from the White House made it official, made people, it interrupts your primetime programming. And people are going to pay attention to it because this isn't a conversation he wants filtered through the media or through the pundits. He wants to talk directly into the camera to those people in their living room right now whose lives he knows he's affecting for the better. But it hasn't all settled in yet. And so this was planned for two or three weeks. It wasn't a knee jerk. They kept it so quiet. I mean, I've been reporting out on my show for two weeks. He's going to do it. But they kept it quiet until yesterday because there were more disciplined White House than the old White House. In the old White House, this would have been leaked like three minutes after the president first came up with the idea. David Zier, Europe at the Capitol. Damon Roberts and others that have been here tonight said, hey, the laggards in this entire process are the is particularly the House and the Senate to keep blocking President Trump. And I'm talking about Republicans. Your thoughts? We got about a minute before showtime. What do you got for us? I wanted to just say that the campaign trail, being on the trail for years, years talking to thousands of people, the culinary workers, the no tax on tips and overtime. The early voters came out in Nevada and helped to win, but particularly North Carolina, 47% of the 36% of the vote, which is unaffiliated, were 18 to 29 years old. They voted for Trump, 14 plus for Trump in white males in that age group. He's got to capture and address the young people, high tech jobs. Winston Salem, North Carolina, you know the, the Research Triangle. They still can't buy homes in North Carolina. So that's like a bellwether. They may pick up another congressional seat there. By the way, it'll be 11 or 14. But these young people have to be addressed because they're being snake charmed by the DSA and I'm afraid that's going to affect the midterms. He's got to address the young people and addressing young people, housing affordability, the, the access to, to get through a massive building program for houses in the country. Interest rates. Well, I don't know if it's a massive building program. Is the. Yeah, yeah, I think he's got to get 4% interest rates. 4% interest rates of what we need. Okay, sir. David, you hang right there at the Capitol. We've got. So what we're going to do that, we're going to go to the Diplomatic Reception Room in a moment. We have John Solomon in Washington D.C. at the anchor desk. We've got Damon Roberts up with the 6B folks. We're going to have Jack Bosobik is going to join me. We've got Brian Glenn at the White House. Steve Gruber is going to join us. We're going to go directly to the White House. When the President commences, he's going to address the nation. All of broadcast TV picks it up tonight. We really appreciate the fact that you are here with us on Real America's Voice. We're going to have Alex Jones, many others are going to go to at least 11 o'. Clock. We're getting all the, all the analysis and all the observations in here. As I said, it's very unusual for broadcast TV to turn over to the President to address the nation. But as John Solomon says, he wants this unfiltered. All the press briefings he does during the day is filtered by the mainstream media with those snarky questions and really hateful, spiteful attacks on the President. So tonight the President will give us a 20 or 30 minute address directly from the Oval Office. It will not be for the Oval Officer from the Diplomatic Reception Room that is right off the South Lawn. As you walk in there. We had our own Brian Glenn. Check it out, case it out earlier we have a full crew of Real America's Voice and we're going to come back and get all the analysis possible. John Solomon, how Many weeks in preparation. Were they working on this speech? About three weeks. Yeah. Three weeks and total silence. Which shows you the discipline of this White House. It's important. They've known since mid November that they had to recalibrate the compass in the messaging. And tonight is the beginning of that start. Quite frankly, I thought JD Vance's speech in Pennsylvania, the president's speech in Pennsylvania was really the beginning of that. It's not a reboot. It's just helping to address this one concern that Americans have and they got a great amount of data and story to tell for it. Tonight that process begins. Tucker. Tucker was on the judge. What Napoleoni. Napolitano. Napolitano. And he said there might be some discussion of Venezuela tonight, particularly they briefed the Hill and it might be about going to war in Venezuela. I wouldn't be surprised that he'll explain why. He's already told us that he's going to take some land action at some point. He did that on Thanksgiving Day. I think he'll do that. I think he could also use Venezuela to remind people, if you like a Mandani, just look what Maduro and his predecessor did in Venezuela. Took the second greatest economy in the Western Hemisphere and brought it to its knees. We're not going to let Democrats do that. You cannot afford to put Democrats back in charge. I think he'll make a case not only tonight, but in the coming months. I think you're going to see a hyphenated name. Maduro, Madame. I think you're going to. It's going to be put together. It's going to sound like a married name when we're done. When they briefed John, did they get up close to the war powers? I mean, the president's been talking about he's got 14,000 fleet marines and sailors down there, a carrier strike group, amphibious ready group. I mean, they've got a lot of material, a lot of men, a lot of material. These briefings on the Hill have. How have they been? Well, they worked well enough that today the Democrats failed in getting a War Powers act vote in the House. And so whatever they said there was good. I think they're comparing it to things like what President Reagan did in Granada and that this is really an extension of the terrorist. Let's go. Let's. Let's go. Let's go to the president right now. I inherited a mess and I'm fixing it. When I took office, inflation was the worst in 48 years. And some would say in the history of our country, which Caused prices to be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration, and it's when we first began hearing the word affordability. Our border was open. And because of this, our country was being invaded by an army of 25 million people. Many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions and insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even 11,888 murderers, more than 50% of whom killed more than one person. This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country. And it can never be allowed to happen again. We had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody. Crime at record levels with law enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden. We had the worst trade deals ever made. And our country was laughed at from all over the world. But they're not laughing anymore. Over the past 11 months, we have brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in American history. There's never been anything like it, and I think most would agree. I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote and all seven swing states and everything else with a mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that really just took the wealth from people and crushed the dreams of the American people. For the last four years, the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all, foreign nations which took advantage of us at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens, they decimated your hard earned savings, they indoctrinated your children with hateful America. Released, really. I mean, they just released a level of violent felons that we had never seen to prey on innocent. They caused war, they caused mayhem, they caused a horrible situation all over the globe. But now you have a president who fights for the law abiding, hardworking people of our country. The ones who make this nation run, who make this, this nation work. And after just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could have imagined. Starting on day one, I took immediate action to stop the invasion of our southern border. For the past seven months, zero illegal aliens have been allowed into our country. A feat which everyone said was absolutely impossible. Do you remember when Joe Biden said that he needed Congress to pass legislation to help close the border? He was always blaming Congress and everyone else. As it turned out, we didn't need legislation. We just needed a new president. We inherited the worst border anywhere in the world, and we quickly turned it into the strongest border in the history of our country. In other words, in a few short months we went from worst to best. We're deporting criminals, restoring safety to our most dangerous cities. Just take a look at Washington D.C. it's at levels of safety that we've never seen before. And they decimated the bloodthirsty foreign drug cartels. We did that all by ourselves with our people and we're so proud of it because they were poisoning and destroying our population. Drugs brought in by ocean and by sea are now down 94%. We have broken the grip of sinister woke radicals in our schools and control over those schools is back now in the hands of our great and loving states where education belongs. After rebuilding the United States military in my first term and with the addition we are adding right now, we have the most powerful military anywhere in the world and it's not even close to. I've restored American strength, settled eight wars in 10 months, destroyed the Iran nuclear threat and ended the war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in 3,000 years peace to the Middle east and secured the release of the hostages, both living and dead. Here at home, we are bringing our economy back from the brink of ruin. The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast. Let's look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car prices rose 22% and in many states 30% or more. Gasoline rose 30 to 50%. Hotel rates rose 37%, airfares rose 31%. Now under our leadership, they are all coming down and coming down fast. Democrat politicians also sent the cost of groceries soaring, but we are solving that too. The price of a Thanksgiving Turkey was down 33% compared to the Biden last year. The price of eggs is down 82% since March and everything else is falling rapidly and it's not done yet. But boy are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's going on here are just some of the efforts that we have underway. You will see in your wallets and bank accounts in the new year. After years of record setting falling incomes, our policies are boosting take home pay at a historic pace. Under Biden, real wages plummeted by $3,000. Under Trump, the typical factory worker is seeing a wage increase of $1,300. For construction workers, it's $1,800. For miners, we're bringing back clean, beautiful coal, it's $3,300. And for the first time in years. Wages are rising much faster than inflation. Remember that rate, wages. Just look at it. Wages are going up much faster than inflation. How big is that? Very importantly, there are more people working today than at any time in American history. And 100% of all jobs created since I took office have been in the private sector. Think of that. 100% of all jobs have been in the private sector rather than government, which is the only way to make a country powerful and great. This historic trend will continue. Already I've secured a record breaking $18 trillion of investment into the United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings, and far greater national security. Much of this success has been accomplished by tariffs. My favorite word, tariffs, which for many decades have been used successfully by other countries against us. But not anymore. Companies know that if they build in America, there are no tariffs. And that's why they're coming home to the USA in record numbers. They're building factories and plants at levels we haven't seen. AI automobiles. We're doing what nobody thought was even possible. Not even remotely possible. There has never, frankly, been anything like it. One year ago, our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country was ready to fail. Totally failed. Now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. And that's said by every single leader that I've spoken to over the last five months. Next year you will also see the results of the largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished through our great big beautiful bill, perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped 12 different bills up into one beautiful bill that includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will be saving between 11,000 and $20,000 a year. And next spring is projected to be the largest tax refund season of all time because of tariffs. Along with the just passed one big beautiful bill. Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than 1,450 thousand. Think of this. 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special we call Warrior Dividend before Christmas. A Warrior dividend. In honor of our Nation's founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that. And the checks are already on the way. Nobody understood that one until about 30 minutes ago. We made a lot more money than anybody thought because of tariffs. And the bill helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military. And I say congratulations to everybody. And by the way, we now have record enlistment in our military. And last year we had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military's history. What a difference a year makes. In addition, I'm doing what no politician of either party has ever done, standing up to the special interest to dramatically reduce the price of prescription drugs. I negotiated directly with the drug companies and foreign nations which were taking advantage of our country for many decades to slash prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as 400, 500 and even 600%. In other words, your drug costs will be plummeting downward. And I use the threat of tariffs to get foreign countries who would never have done it to pay the cost of this giant dollar reduction. They stop ripping us off. And it began as of four days ago. There has never been anything like this in the history of our country. Drugs have only gone up, but now they'll be going down by numbers never conceived possible. It's called most favored nation. And no president has ever had the courage or ability to get this done until now. The first of these unprecedented price reductions will be available starting in January through a new website, trumprx.gov and these big price cuts will greatly reduce the cost of health care. I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that should go directly to the people. The money should go to the people, that's you. So they can buy their own health insurance, which will give far better benefits at much lower cost. It will be far better health insurance. The current Unaffordable Care act was created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health care at much too high a cost. And you see that now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they are demanding those increases. And it's their fault. It is not the Republicans fault. It's the Democrats fault. It's the Unaffordable Care act, and everybody knew it. Again, I want the money to go directly to the people so you can buy your own health care. You'll get much better health care at a much lower price. The only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten rich and the Democrat party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies. They will not be happy, but that's okay with me because you the people, are finally going to be getting great healthcare at a lower cost. Another major focus is the cost of energy. For years, the radical left Democrats exploited the green energy scam as an excuse to funnel many billions of dollars into their own massive slush funds as their energy restrictions drastically drove up prices and they drove them up at record levels. Electricity costs surged 30 to 100% under Biden. And the typical family lost 5,000 to $10,000 in higher energy costs. Think of that 5,000 to $10,0000 you lost. On day one, I declared a national energy emergency. Gasoline is now under $2.50 a gallon in much of the country. In some states it by the way just hit $1.99 a gallon. And within the next 12 months we will have opened 1,600 new electrical generating plants. A record in. And it's a record that won't be beaten by practically, I would say by anybody, or certainly not very soon. Prices on electricity and everything else will fall dramatically. The Democrat inflation disaster again, the worst in the history of our country, also robbed millions of Americans of homeownership and indeed the American dream. The yearly cost of a typical new mortgage increased by 50, $15,000. Under Democrat rule, in 11 months we've already gotten that annual cost down by $3,000 and it's coming down a lot lower. Wait till you see, the numbers are going to be shocking. And I'll soon announce our next chairman of the Federal Reserve, someone who believes in lower interest rates by a lot and mortgage payments will be coming down even further early the new year. And you will see this in the new year I will announce some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history. A major factor in driving up housing costs was the colossal border invasion. We have never been invaded. This is the worst thing that, frankly in my opinion the worst thing that the Biden administration did to our country is the invasion at the border. The last administration and their allies in Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave them taxpayer funded housing while your rent and housing costs skyrocketed. Over 60% of growth in the rental market came from foreign migrants. At the same time, illegal aliens stole American jobs and flooded emergency rooms getting free health care and education paid for by you, the American taxpayer. They also increased the cost of law enforcement by numbers so high that they are not even to be mentioned. For the first time in 50 years, we are now seeing reverse migration as migrants go back home, leaving more housing and more jobs for Americans. In the year before my election, all net creation of jobs was going to foreign migrants. Since I took office, 100% of all net job job creation has gone to American born citizens. 100%. In the end, government either serves the productive, patriotic, hardworking American citizen or it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation. Look at Minnesota, where Somalians have taken over the economics of the state and have stolen billions and billions of dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States of America. And we're going to put an end to it. For so long as before my election, the vast majority of good and decent Americans were forced to watch as corrupt politicians plundered the halls of power, exploited our taxpayers, and pillaged every system that makes civilized society function. But not anymore. And you see that every day. Not anymore. We're putting America first, and we are making America great again. Very simple. We are making America great again. Tonight, after 11 months, our border is secure, inflation has stopped, wages are up, prices are down. Our nation is strong, America is respected, and our country is back stronger than ever before. We're poised for an economic boom the likes of which the world has never seen. Soon, we will host the World cup and the Olympics, both of which I got. But most importantly, we will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. There could be no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago. When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its workers, confident to its identity, certain to its destiny, and the envy of the entire globe. We are respected again like we have never been respected before. To each and every one of you, have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. God bless you all. That was President Trump from the Diplomatic Reception Room. Pretty intense here on the Christmas holiday. Let's go to the White House. Let's stay there. Brian Glenn, our chief White House correspondent. Your thoughts, sir? No. Brian Glenn. Yes. Okay. Is Steve Gruber. Yeah. Let's go. Steve Gruber. Steve, I know you gotta get ready for your morning show. Your thoughts? I believe we just witnessed the opening salvo of the midterm election, Steve. There's no question about it. I mean, that was intense. That was on point. He talked about the accomplishments. I like the warrior dividend. I know you're a military veteran yourself. What do you think about that? $1776 to each member of the military. That's an interesting observation and idea, but. But the midterm election's off and running. And look for anybody who thought, well, Donald Trump's not going to be on the ballot. Yes, he is. And in fact, we know, Steve, that he's going to be taking his show on the road. The traveling road show of Donald Trump is going out across America to Michigan, which by the way, which is where I live. Donald Trump told me this in 2016. I know he shared it with other people. He said it to me. Since he believes that Michigan is ground zero again in the midterms. We have an open Senate seat, an open governor's seat. We've got an Attorney General, Secretary of State's race here, which by the way, has been muddied up here in the last 48 hours because Dana Nestle, the controversial Attorney General here, and the Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, who's running for Governor, have been caught up in what appears to be some collusion. You see, it seems that Dana Nestle's wife was involved with an investigation with the Secretary of State. So Secretary of State started the investigation and then Dana Nestle's office, even though she was supposed to be removed from the conversation, reached out and said, hey, can you pull that investigation back under law? You can't do that. So in emails that were released by the Oversight committee here in Michigan, we found out that Dana Nestle contacted Jocelyn Benson directly. The Attorney General contacts the Secretary of State, says this needs to go away. And away it went. It has been removed. So Dana Nestle in trouble there, plus another friend of hers, Tracy Corneck, the former chair of the DNC in Michigan, involved with. Listen to this, Steve. She's a Grand Rapids based attorney accused of taking financial advantage of a brain damaged elderly woman in which she was the court appointed conservator. Took more than $100,000 from this woman. She was part of Dana Nestle's transition team in 2018. Magically, those charges disappeared as well. There's a lot of corruption in Michigan and it leads all the way to Jocelyn Benson, leads to the Attorney General. Look, it leads to the highest levels of the Whitmer administration. Another governor. You look at Tim Walz in Minnesota, what's going on there? You look at what's going on with Governor Whitmer here. Fraud, waste and corruption. Apparently it's the order of the day for Democrats. Something else that Donald Trump talked about. And look, it's the beginning of the election. Michigan is ground zero. We have to make sure that people are not just only Trump voters. If Donald Trump isn't on the ballot, you have to get out there and vote. He can't do it without the support of the House and the Senate. He has to have control of both of those bodies for it to work, to do that list of things that he wants to get accomplished. You can't correct all the mistakes of the Biden administration in 11 months, that's a fact. Was this speech, this speech was pretty intense. Remember, this is a general audience. This is a ghost broadcast. There are millions of people that will see this that don't follow real America's voice, don't follow cable, don't. They're not into politics. This is the first time. Was this too intense? I mean, I love it, but we love the intense version of Trump. Was this too intense for, for a broadcast audience? I thought it was pretty fiery and pretty intense, I'll give you that. He was pretty on point, focused, laser focused. But here is what I like. He didn't deviate. He didn't leave the script. He stayed on point for the script, which for Donald Trump, you know, is not an easy task. Many days, right. Usually he goes off into tangents. He, he, he does the weave, as he calls it. He didn't do the weave tonight. He got on to the points. He stayed with it. And he sold the fact that we have better border security. Most of the country now has gas under $3. A good portion of the country has gas under $2.50. Inflation on groceries since January, 1%. Is it perfect? No, but look, we're trying to recover from 9.1%. Summer of 2022, when the Biden administration, during their lockdowns, printed so much money they flooded the market. And then he talked about the fact that all these people are leaving the country. We have a net export of immigrants now. First time in my lifetime, I believe that's important. So he talked about housing. He's going to take care of housing, health care, the cost of living. A lot of people said, well, you know, it's lost because it's so expensive out there. It's not lost six months from now. You get to June, you get to the 4th of July, 2026, and this economy continues to click. Steve, that's three lifetimes in politics between now and the 4th of July. And if this economy continues to hum along, I think that Donald Trump and the Republicans, if you have the right Republicans, some of these weak kneed, you know, feckless weasels, they can go. But if you have true conservatives that believe in America first and can support the Trump agenda, we're in good shape. Anything short of that, get rid of the filibuster. That's my personal opinion. I don't know if you agree with that or not. I don't like the filibuster because I think it's standing in the way of a lot of progress. Scott. I like it, but you gotta get rid of it now. They forced the President saying you gotta get rid of it. And blue suits agreed. Steve Gruber. I know you got to bounce. Where do people get you? When's the show? Social media, all of it. I'll be right back here. 6:00am Real America's voice. Don't miss that. You can find me all the usual places on X and Facebook and Instagram at Steve Gruber show tevegrubershow. You'll find me in all those places. Steve O. Thank you. Thank you, Steve. Appreciate you. Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break here. We got John Solomon on the other side. I think John will give us the answer. Does he think this was a reset as Matt Drudge said, or is it a finish what you started? Also got Damon Roberts, David Ziers at the Capitol. Jack Posobuk is going to join us. Alex Jones, we're pretty packed here. After an address to the nation from the diplomatic reception room at the White House. Short commercial break. Back to Real America's Voice coverage of the President's address. Just in a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay, let's go to our DC studio. In the anchor chair is John Solomon. John, not subtle. This is old school Trump. I mean hard, direct, urgent. So Matt Drudge, you were correct. Matt Drudge was wrong. This was not a reset, this was a finish. What we started, sir. Yeah, this was a shock and awe political speech. No apologies, no prisoners and no going back to the Democratic policies. And by the way, there's a lot of ideas that are broadly painted here. He is going to create one of the most extraordinary housing policies going to be, you know, literally. He hinted at it today, but he's going to, he's going to rewrite the rules for housing. I think it's going to be pretty remarkable in the weeks ahead. But the last time I saw something this intense, I think it was the first night of the Gulf War and Peter Arnett and Bernie Shaw were hanging in a hunker when missiles were flying over him. But that's what he wanted. Listen, he tinkered with the speech two hours ago. And this was a political shock and awe speech. The base will love it. We won't know what regular Americans think about it until we see the polling in a couple days. But I know what the President wanted because you can see was something that is, hey, I'm not letting you go back to that Democratic screw up system. You're not going back. We've turned the corner. No going back. And we'll see how it plays in the middle of America. But it was quite, it was quite entertaining. John, as you see this, you know, a lot of people around the president, you've been around long enough, they all say you got to moderate. You got to, you know, this was a take no prisoners. Here's the message. Here's why the American people chose me. Here's what I laid out to the American people. They knew fully what they were getting. Here's where I'm going. Here's where we've come so far. Here's where I'm going. This was no compromise. How did the audience, that is the aristocrats in the Senate that really control so much of the power here legislatively, with the kind of structural issues, we're talking about blue slips and we're talking about filibuster, all these technical aspects that people watching broadcast TV have never heard of. President Trump laid out a very aggressive legislative agenda, executive order agenda. And this is after we've had flood the zone, days of thunder, all of that. How do you think the, the moderates and the Republican establishment on Capitol Hill viewed this? Well, I figured they're thinking they ain't going to be making any concessions anytime soon. I think that what they found out now is this president means business. And, you know, he settled that issue before he went into his speech tonight. It's hard to underestimate how big a deal it was today that Donald Trump and John Thune found a way to end the logjam on a whole bunch of issues and get a second minibus through. What the president has figured out is you can't do piecemeal stuff in the Senate. It's the place where every good idea goes to die because of all the parlance and parliamentary bs. So he's been stacking up one big, beautiful bill that was his first really big accomplishments and one of the largest legislative bills in American history in terms of policy change. And now he stacked up a second one where he's going to jam everything that matters into him to that second bill because he understands that the Senate is the place that is too cowardly to do things on their own individually. And so he's got another big bill coming up, and he did that before the speech, which means he's got his troops lined up. Then the House does the Obamacare alternative, and he does what I thought he should have done a long time ago. He should have called Obamacare what it is, the greatest corporate welfare giveaway to big insurance companies in American history. And he did it tonight he finally fired that shot. And that's an education moment. He said, I want health care money to go you to the people. And I think that those are the sort of things that matter. The elitists will hate this speech. The rhinos will cry behind another rock and hide for a while. The base will get rallied by this speech. And what I don't know until we see the polling is how will middle America react. But I think there was a lot here for a middle American to like. I'm thinking about you, not the special interest. I'm going to put money in your pocket. Oh, by the way, I already made a down payment to your son and daughter in the military that they're getting a Christmas bonus check. This was all targeted for middle America. The intensity of the delivery, we'll see if that message got through. But that was a no holds barred. Donald Trump, the one that I'm pretty familiar with, John, he only had 20 minutes and you know, half the time you spent with the war room. Over the past year, we've been talking about geopolitics and national security. No mention of Ukraine, no mention of the Middle east and particularly no mention. I guess Tucker got some bad info, but no mention of the carrying battle group and the amphibious ready group off the coast of Venezuela. Your thoughts that it went full domestic tonight, Sir? He has heard the American people. He knows how important those foreign policy achievements are, but he knows the American people want it to be spoken about. About what? About my dinner table? What about my water cooler? What about my budget, my checkbook? And he addressed those issues tonight. He was disciplined in that respect. Yeah, the speech got changed a little bit from what I saw previously, but I think at the end of the day, a determined Donald Trump, that I am fighting for you. I think that's what people will take from the atmospherics. This guy is really animated because he's fighting for me and he hates everybody that's getting in the way of my success. Now, this speech will only matter if in March, April, May, June, July of next year, the things that he said he gets done gets done. And those changes that he's put into place, these huge structural changes, less regulation for small business, more money in the pocket of American people, no taxes on tips, no taxes on car tax deductions for car loans, interest rates down. If those things hit and the American people's checkbook and dinner table feels better, he's going to have a. He's going to defeat the normal historical trends of Republicans winning. But he also made clear And I thought Steve Gruber nailed this exactly right. He made clear he is putting himself on the 26th ballot. You want a third term, it's the 26th election. That's what this is. 26 election is his third term. Yeah, you can stamp it. You can stamp it right now. Before I let you go, I had Mike Davis and Julie on the five o' clock show. We couldn't get you on because you're so jam. They're great people, aren't they? Jack's. They're great. But Jack Smith brother threw down hard today. He ain't backing off. Give me your thought. We got it. We got a dog fight there. Give me your thoughts. You know what? Jack Smith's the sort of guy that Donald Trump likes as a competitor. He's not a wimp. He's going to fight a pugilist fight just like Donald Trump. When the real question will be it won't matter what Jack Smith's words were. Well, it won't matter if he made any false testimony because they will charge him if he lies. But I think the real question is, can what Harmeet Dhillon said on my show tonight, is there proof that Jack Smith intended to violate the president's civil liberties? And if so, I think Harmeet Dhillon and Pam Bondi and Cash Patel and the FBI that Dan Bongino quickly hit a wrecking ball to fix and then is moving on from can they deliver a criminal case for a conspiracy to deprive civil liberties. That's what Harmeet Dhillon said tonight. I am working on a case to whether Democrats like Jack Smith and state officials Finney Willis at all, whether they conspire to deprive Donald Trump and his followers of their civil liberties. If there's evidence to show that Jack Smith's testimony won't matter nearly as much as the indictment he'll face. But we'll see if they get there. But yeah, I think Donald Trump revels this sort of guy. He likes a competitor. Like he hates weak components. Solomon, where do people go? You got great content all over the place. Where do they go to go? Thank you, my friend. Justinews.com, j. Solomon reports on all social platforms. And I'm lucky enough, I say this every day and I really mean it. I'm lucky enough to follow you every night on this great network. Six o', clock, Justin News, no noise with the amazing Amanda Hett on my side. Man ahead. Thank you, John Solomon. Thanks for staying up. Let's go to the Capitol. Let's go to the rotunda of the Capitol got David Zier, David Zier, particularly you mentioned beforehand you talking about housing. Did you like what you heard? You think this is the path that we should take? Steve, I love the Trump domestic focus and the compact speech. I think it resonates. There's no question that Trump has set the stage for incredible growth. Right? 20 trillion in reinvestment, the extension of the tax cuts, the Trump child accounts, writing off interest on us made car leases between 25 and 28, 20, 28, no tax on tips and overtime is really huge. But Americans are in pain. And will people get what Trump is doing in time as early voting only starts nine or 10 months away in the midterms, you know, so and I'm a constructive for four decades, Steve, and I know it's temporary, but the tariffs have raised prices. All my contractors, most of them are Trump supporters, but they're feeling the pain. They're raising prices on the consumer, they're raising the price of new homes. Right. And they're complaining. And again, I know it's temporary, but you know, I hope that we can realize the incredible gains that Trump is going to bring to America like his first term. It wasn't until 2018, 2019 that we realized well what he was doing, right. And things took off like a rocket ship. Just like the 96 tax cuts propelled us out of recession and the peace dividend and we did really well. So I'm really concerned about the time left for the midterms and the Democrats playbook and the legacy media and everything and people not being informed or realizing because they didn't file their taxes when they got an extension on their taxes. Do you think people that just watch broadcast TV because it was meant for that audience. Right. I mean it's the real America's voice, the war room posse. People that watch your show, they've heard a lot of this, some of the new details not. But this is vintage Trump they see every day as we cover it as, you know, closer than anybody. But for a broadcast audience, do you think he laid out the battle plan of here's what I inherited, here's what I've done to date, here's what I'm going to do in the future and let my past actions and past results be a good barometer of what I'm going to do? Do you think he made that case to the general American voter? I think he did. But a lot of people are still hurting, even on the right, right. MAGA people are hurting too. So I do believe that and more people are watching streaming networks. They love Real America's Voice and others. So the legacy MSM isn't as important. But he's got to go after that young DSA vote that Mamdani got that Omar Fateh got in Minneapolis even though he didn't win. These people understand capitalism. They didn't see the bread lines and the shoe lines in Moscow. They think that this is Trump's fault because they've been brainwashed by crappy parents and bad professors. So, you know. Or evil professors. Right. So, you know, he's got to go after that. I think they have to put just as much energy into the DSA type gen zers as they do in with Turning Point Zero. Where do people go to get your content? I'm at Dave Zier on X and David Zier on everything else. Thank you so much, Steve. Thank you, Dave. And thank you for staying at the Capitol Force. And I appreciate you over at the Pentagon in the Capitol. Jack Bassoba joins us by phone now. Jack, I got some questions. We're gonna hold you through the break. I got some questions on Brown University. But I want to start with your assessment, sir, of the president's speech to the nation tonight. Well, Steve, I first have to say I really appreciate the White House's ability to run an information operation on so much of social media, putting all this information out there, you know, sort of these strategic leaks to make people think that this was going to be some kind of speech about Venezuela, to make them think there was going to be some sort of, you know, attack going on. This is about to come down when ultimately many of us who have close sources to the White House, and I was at the White House earlier this afternoon, were told that it was going to be an end of year speech focusing on what the policies were that worked this year, announcing some new initiatives and then a look ahead to next year. And that was always going to be and always meant to be the main thrust of the speech. And that's exactly what it was. But there was this clearly a disinformation Operation Information, Operation Run. And I think a lot of people, I think, would you say, Steve, they got some bad info? I think they're realizing that they got you some bad info. What do you think? We got about a minute, Jack, I'm going to hold you through the break. President Trump, this is on broadcast tv. So he's reaching tens of millions of people tonight. Do you think the average American viewer who are not real America's voice watchers are not dialed in to your show or to the war room. Do you think it was too much for them? Was it too intense? I mean, because this is vintage Donald Trump. I mean, there's no backup here. This is rap. Bam, bam, bam, bam. It's like a howitzer. Your thoughts? What strategic timing. He's working to show them that the goal here is that he wants them, as they're out there buying Christmas presents, to hear the prices are coming down, and it's because of Donald Trump. Gas is down and it's because of Trump. There's dividends going out to the military, and it's because of Trump. So he's using that strategic timing right in this Christmas buying season, this buying bubble, and of course, support all the war room advertisers as well as the Human Events Daily advertisers. But that's what he's attempting to do with middle America. And I think that he's going to have an effect there. I really do. Jack, hang on for a second. We're taking a short commercial break. We had Damon Roberts got the entire, the entire Real America's Voice crew. Also, Alex Jones is scheduled to join us close to the top of the hour. I know he's working his show right now. We've got Peak Walecki is going to join us, a couple of three others. We're gonna stick around for a while, break this all down. Short commercial break. Back to Real America's Voice in the war room. Just a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Okay, we got our technical issues worked out with the White House. Let's go now to Brian Glenn. Brian, you, you're there. You saw the prep for it. You saw the delivery of it. Your thoughts? Yeah, we know, Steve. Let's start with the optics. Getting out from behind a desk and having a little bit more of a standing podium with the Christmas tree. That little bit. All the festival elements around him, I think that's a good look. It softens up the message. But what we heard and saw tonight was classic Trump. And I agree with everything that all of your analysts has had before me. This was classic, raw Trump. This was straight. It was aggressive. It was raw. He weighed off the teleprompter a little bit in the very beginning, but then got on it and pretty much stayed on it for the most part. He told you what had happened under the Biden administration. Told him what he's going to do. Tell him what he's doing right now. I think to the base, they are like, yeah, yes. If you, if you haven't seen any of my Oval Office moments with President Trump. That was a highlight reel of this past year, all wrapped up in about 20 minutes. I feel like every single topic he delivered, just like he's delivering the Oval Oval Office behind me. With the exception of having the 1776 military special sent out to the, to the troops this year before Christmas. That's perfect. But the big question I know you've asked people tonight, will the middle America, maybe non rav viewer, maybe the person that tunes into Fox News and tunes in. No, no, no. Maybe some other networks as well. No, no, no. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm saying the people that obviously don't. The rev audience could have helped write that speech. Right. As you know, we cover this every day, and that was vintage. I'm not talking about MSNBC viewers and I'm not talking about Fox. I'm talking about broadcast TV that normally watch in sports or watching the sitcoms or whatever they watch. This is the president. Broadcast TV is very restrictive on when they give the president the platform to do it because they understand he's going to talk to tens of millions of people. Do you believe that audience? Really low information, maybe not low propensity voters, but people just don't follow politics. Or they. Do they catch a CBS Nightly News or something. People that are not in cable and certainly not in the podcast and certainly not on stream. Streaming was the intensity of this delivery was the, it was a dense speech. The, the, the, the charts, the graphs, the numbers, the intensity going from policy, bang, bang, bang. I mean, this was like a Howard. So I loved it. I can tell our audience loved it. Right. Of the intensity. But the audience was broadcast TV and the Republican establishment on Capitol Hill. Do you think the broadcast TV audience got it? A small percentage of them. I'm just being truthful. If people aren't used to seeing Trump, that's a bit much to take when you're not used to seeing him in that form. They're used as, you know, used to sound clips of him in the Oval Office or getting on Air Force One or at an event. I get it. I get what you're saying. It might have been a little too intense for them, but let's hope they took a little nugget here or there to keep them enticed to wanting to hear more from him, because he definitely delivers it straight to you. He's a tornado of information and he's going to swirl around, he's going to run Around. What about the senators on Capitol Hill? They're looking for some compromise. It won't give him the filibuster won't get. He didn't get into the details of that. But all those people are looking to moderate him, to make him compromise. His message. For those guys tonight, those men and women were no compromise. Right? Yeah, they, they better get on board. Absolutely. The Thune conversation and that's a conversation that we can have some of the people that are standing in the way, I mean I give you a great example. Even the HR3492, this Protect Children's Innocence act that passed earlier in the House, earlier Chip Roy was standing in the way of that bill being brought to the floor in the pure form instead of being watered down and with pressure coming from war room posse and really a lot of, you know, supporters in the Republican Party that want to dis bill to pass, they put pressure on these individuals to change their votes. So maybe tonight President Trump is putting people on the Hill and people that perhaps don't necessarily want to get behind his agenda and they're just kind of going into campaign mode, which is a very conservative non risk taking mode just to get through the midterms, get reelected. Maybe that slaps them in the face a little bit, Steve, but I'm with you. I'm hoping that Mid America, the network TV viewing audience will take a little bit of what they heard tonight and take it into next year. Brian, you gotta do darn patrol. You're gonna be at amfest with us. I know you gotta bounce now. What your where'd they go for your social media? You can follow me at Brian Glenn TV across the board at Brian on Truth Social. And Steve, I can't wait to get to Arizona with you and enjoy a couple days there in the desert and Am fest. Looking forward to it. It's always a pleasure to work with you, Steve. I appreciate it. Thank you, brother. Look forward to seeing you there. Amfest many times sold out this year. Going to be absolutely packed. Jack Posobic, the great Kane, Citizen Kane at Citizens Free Press has put up our earlier discussions as he put up earlier. Caroline Renz about Brown University. Any updates on the targeting of Ella Cook, sir? Well, Steve, unfortunately the updates that we have are all bad. You got the DEI migrant police chief down there in Providence has said that five days after the Brown University mass shooting, they have not interviewed the student eyewitnesses for a description of the shooter. So when I spoke to my source earlier today who is getting this straight from the room. I said, was there a direct. Was there a recognition of the shooter? Was there a description of the shooter? He says the. That we have not yet conducted the student eyewitness interviews. And this might keep in mind, Steve, this is when they let all the kids go home. So they're running around trying to do interviews. The students are already gone for Christmas. They don't even know who's there. There's a major problem. And this president, I'm just going to call it right now, this president of Brown University, she has got to go. She absolutely has to go. She is completely lost the confidence of the people. She certainly has to have lost the confidence of the board. Someone in the administration's got to find out. Linda McMahon over at the Education Department. She's got to find out what can be done here. Because this is completely. Steve, Steve, you know, just an official from up there just said, by the way, oh, we got 1200 cameras up. 1200 cameras. And yesterday they said there's no cameras. We couldn't find any cameras. So this, this Christina Paxson, Christina Paxton and the DI Police chief up there, they're a laughing stock, a national laughing stock. And I would say it's a laughing stock, but it's worse because there is a mass shooter on the loose in Rhode island or somewhere in New England. Nobody knows who it is, and nobody seems to be taking this seriously. Okay, but don't bury the lead. Why is the FBI. Because a guy could be anywhere. This thing is a Keystone Cops. Why is the FBI not stepping in here, the Justice Department, why are they not seizing this thing? When you hear that they have not interviewed the students who were there. And, you know, I think you've talked to some of the parents or some of the relatives. They haven't been talked to. They haven't. They haven't been interviewed about this. How can you possibly sit there and say these guys are ever going to solve this? This is why it's urgent. They just give us the head. Was she targeted or was she not? People are talking about it behind the scenes right now. Why isn't Cash Patel stepping into the middle of this and just seizing control of this investigation? I understand. Where is this? Because did he yell something when he went in the room or not? Well, you know what might help if you knew that is if you actually spoke with the witnesses who were in the room that were there. And Steve, we're getting more information. This is something that I have. Other people have reported this as well. I'm saying this is Separate from separate sourcing that this was not a known study group. This was ad hoc. Somebody knew that they were in there. Yeah, this was called because the, the, the exams were going to be, you know, starting Monday and Tuesday. They called for a study session with one of the graduate teaching assistants. This is for principals of economics, I think it was. So it's not scheduled, it's not on any schedule. But so, but I know you gotta bounce. Where's your social media? People have to watch as Jack's breaking news on all of these situations, particularly what's happening in at Brown University with Ella Cook where they go, all right, we're gonna be up there. It's X all day Human Events Daily and Steve, this what's come out today, it's just an abject disgrace. Heart goes out to the families of all the victims here especially of course Ella Cook and the, the male student who, who died, Muhammad Aziz that this is, it's just horrific. It's horrific to be done here. I will contact you Jack, after I get off the watch. Jack Posovic, thank you so much. Staying up short. Commercial break Alex Jones, Damon Roberts, Mark Serrano and others as we continue our coverage of the President's dresses the nation next on Real America's Voice. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly. But I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, 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 say War room Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. A few minutes ago the President states finished an address to the nation from the diplomatic reception room next to the south law of the White House. Now, Alex Jones, the great Alex Jones. Join us. Alex, your assessment, observations and analysis, sir. Thanks, Steve. Great analysis by you and your crew. We've been just simulcasting the last hour and I agree with it all but you were asking different reporters and journalists and an analyst, was it, was it too hardcore? Was it too dense? Was it too technical? Because we all know the facts. I mean it was all true what Trump said and overall give it like a b Minus, and I'm not criticizing the President. He needs to create absolute existential threat, which is what it is, total urgency. And get 10 times more hardcore. And say the globalist NGOs, which is publicly happening, are trying to crash the US. They're working with the Chinese, they're trying to take everything you've got. We've already cut energy prices by 30 to 50%. We've already cut all these other prices. I'm doing everything I can, but I'm facing major headwinds. I need your help. He needs to enlist us to get behind him and support ICE that's under attack and explain that this country is in a battle for its life. He conscripts us with that message. It's game over for them. We are in a historical crisis. We need George Washington, we need Abraham Lincoln, we need, we need President Jackson right now, Andrew Jackson. We need to just straight through. So I know they're telling him, be nice, you know, you know, don't take scalps for the doj, blah, blah, blah. All of that is what happened eight years ago. Things are better now. He's way more hardcore than he was then. So, you know, let's say on hardcore, he was a two before, now he's a five. We need a 12, we need a 50. You know, above 10, it's like Spinal T, we need 11. We. He, he just needs to directly tell us what we need to do, directly tell us what we're up against. Because those of us that study it know the technicals. He's got the Federal Reserve to do what he's supposed to, though a little bit late. He has won the, you know, the tariff issues, there'll be some pain up front, but overall, America, surrender is over. You want to get out from under the globalist, you want jobs back in America, you, you want law and order. And the areas I can control, like the border, were down 96%. You know, basically nobody coming across. We've saved and already found 60,000 of the kids. And just so I wish the speech was an hour long. Great that it was focused on domestic, but also explained that domestically we're under attack. So my only message to Trump is damn the torpedoes, go straight at them and speak directly to the people, say, look, you elected me to stop the deep state and you see what we're up against. You want to hang, you want to create the architecture of the narrative of what this is really all about. Because everything he talked about were actions. He's what he inherited, actions he's taken, how he's making things how he's improving. And those actions are going to go over the average person's head. They're not, they're not, Steve Bannon. They're not. They're, they're not. I, I have to study 18 hours a day. I dream about this while I go sleep. Exactly. Like, if you're not totally doing this, you don't know it was all accurate. And I was sitting there like crying because I knew it was all true. But what you said when you came back was like, it's too technical. And you, you came back like, literally said, it's too technical. How do you explain it in big, broad strokes to people? They already trust him. They already overrode the fraud to get him in. He just has to directly tell them that he needs us. Steve, what is the, in this fight with the deep state, with the globalists? Give me. If you were with the president now say, hey, look, I want to do this in the first week you get back. We're going to, we're going to, we're going to try it one more time. That was great to end the year, but I want to, I want to really hit the deck place running. What are the two or three things that you tell him? Here's. I think what we need to do to frame this so people can see it's light and dark. People can see it's good and evil. What do you recommend? Well, notice even before he got back in and all the Hollywood movies and all the PR by the Democrats is he's a dictator. Don't use the military. Oh, he's Hitler. Oh, Border patrol can't arrest illegals. It's all illegal. Oh, the seditious six. They know what Abraham Lincoln and George Washington had to do in Andrew Jackson. When people tried this stuff, they know that's the only checkmate to John Brennan and the rest of them that are openly still running this with Obama and all their networks still in the government. The sleeper cells that Trump's dealing with technical name stay behind network folks. Look that up. Show HEG says is on the right track. They get a referral on the Sedition six and on the Senator Kelly. It's not the speech they made it to put them up to it. They admit was the Democrats and they want people not to follow orders and imply they're getting legal orders ahead of their uprisings. You have to go directly to that. Now they've escalated up to the command investigation. That is basically the grand jury for the indictment. And Kelly, Senator Kelly, all acting Arrogant. Oh, yeah, I'm going to get you. They won't be so arrogant once he's indicted. So anybody that's retired can be drugged back. That's the type of stuff we need. And Trump needs to work in those bodies where he can. He's 10 attorney generals that have been going at like ken Paxton for BlackRock and winning and all of it call on state attorney generals to not wait for orders from headquarters that aren't Soros controlled and start indictments. People want to see action. And Trump has to say, they've killed our National Guard. They called them terrorists. They got them killed. They're literally with the Islamicists. The Islamicists are in the Red Green alliance have called for global jihad. There's all these stabbing attacks and shooting of the police in Washington, you name it. Where you have to read the indictment later to even find out that they call 911 in Washington. The cops come and they attack them. You know, there's giant Islamic attacks happening everywhere, all over the Western world. They have launched their attack. They believe the west is weak. They believe this is the takedown and it's the Muslim Brotherhood running it all ally with Obama and the rest of them. And, and, and Trump just has to telegraph that, that, hey, you know, the Democrats want you pouring under control. You know what they were doing? I'm fighting headwinds with them. I need you to fully get behind this and fully support what I'm doing. And this is not a normal election cycle where, oh, we worry about 2028. This is. Every next election is the most important ever because we're in a true revolution. And as long as he raises the alarm, people say, oh, the speech was too hardcore. No, it was, it was too technical. As you first coming out of it live said, too technical. Not bad. Yeah, great. People that know all this know, oh, yes, this is a great technical report. It's like giving a technical report from one doctor to another. Well, well, if you're not physicians, you don't understand it. He has to go directly to the existential war, good versus evil. He has to do it right now. And I've been saying this in his first admin in this one, when does he do these Oval Office addresses? And Jack was right. They leaked out, oh, war with Venezuela. They took the bait. All the networks took it. That's great. But the other day, you're talking to a normal network TV person sitting there watching that. They were watching that. They had no idea what they were even hearing. Okay? So, I mean, I said this. I Had folks the White House call me a week ago saying, hey, you know, what do you think we should be talked about? And I said, how about how tax on tips. Blue states are already trying to block it. How about he starts with that? He's explained, I'm trying to deliver this. I've already gotten you 30 to 50%. Gas prices increase, decrease. I've already gotten inflation slowed. I've already got the Federal Reserve under heel. But I had to go through all the courts. I had to get everybody appointed. You got to give me time. Do you want to bet on them or do you want to bet on me and say, bet on me? And America needs to know we're in a fight together. Just like a captain, you know, master and commander. Great movie, you know, based on a lot of composites of real naval battles. And it's just the captain says, we're about to protect this ship. You ready for war? Let's go. I need your help. Let's do it. Get your swords out and get those cannons loaded. We need to be conscripted. We need to have Trump pointed us like Uncle Sam had said. I want you to join the American Republic. I can't do this without you. Then you'll get the lines of people, you know, not just signing up for the military we see happening, but all of it. To Understand this is 1776, part two. They have to fire the bat signal. He has to get super hardcore. And I get it. He makes these billionaires come bow and put 19 trillion in. But it takes time for that to grow. To him as a businessman, that is victory at his level. But to the general public, they need to understand the timeline, and they want to be included in the narrative. They want to be mobilized. If he mobilizes the people, we win landslide in 2026. If not, if he just sits there, oh, here's Larry Ellison and here's these people. People don't want to see that. They don't want to see Bill Gates. The White House. No Bill Gates to the White House. You know, none of this stuff. We want populism. And I don't think Susie Wells is right. I think Trump maybe once every two weeks, you know, goes to a key battleground, helps Mike Lindell or whatever. No, he needs to be doing addresses. You know, he cares about 60 Minutes. He cares about stuff with no viewers. He cares about Jimmy Kimmel with no viewers. He went on Elon Musk show and have, you know, a billion listeners. He goes on your show. It's exciting. 100 million viewers. He needs to be flooding the zone, going back on all the big shows, going on Joe Rogan, going on those programs and talking directly to the people and not then going to CBS and complaining that they, they edited it. What do you think it's like? He's like the frog that's swimming across the river and the scorpion says, give me a ride. He goes, well, you're gonna steam me? He goes, no, I won't. He takes him across. The scorpion stings him. He's dying. He says, why'd you do that? He goes, I'm a scorpion. It's like Trump's snake story. Why is he taking the beautiful snake up to his breast? Trump, you're 79. I respect you. You're way smart in many ways. But let me explain. Barragan explained it. And you know, Steve's old like me, but he knows the numbers. There are medium sized shows with more viewers than cnn. Stop giving them power. They're dead. Let the dead bury the dead. Dust this dust off your feet. Stop it. Engage with us. Talk directly to us, write to us and say, I need you and it's over. That is the Holy Grail. That is the Excalibur. That is the Spear of Destiny. That is what he must do. It almost be directly to us. I need you. I need you. The minute he does that, nothing but victory. Magnificent. I couldn't sum it up better before I let you go. This issue right now that you're hearing about the attack not just on Christian, but Christian women, we've got an acid attack down in Savannah. We now have all this back chatter that people are getting details on that Ella Cook was in all probability targeted at Brown University just to rally our side. What do you think the president ought to be talking about? And of course, cash. And these guys ought to be taking over this investigation. What do you got for us on this attack now on Christian women? For those that don't know, who haven't read the Koran, it's a playbook of how he took over Medina and then the rest is, you know, what, Saudi Arabia day. And then 100 years after his death, they had the whole Middle East. And he explains how you come in, you lie, you say you're a friend, then you have your people start stabbing and killing people. Once you're up to about 10%, that drives you out of the town. You take over the town. We have thousands of imams now saying we're taking over. You're all dead because they've gone to the global intifada. They've gone to the jihad and multiple acid attacks and all these people getting shot and killed and them covering it up. My wife, I told you a few weeks ago, went to the grocery store like 9:30 at night, she's like, hey, you know, kids are asleep, I forgot something, I'm going to store. I'm like, yeah, great, I'm going to bed. I got up at 3am next morning, she's like, I'm really upset. A Muslim in a beekeeper suit, you know, the, the, the nightgowns they wear, comes and screams at her and says, you shouldn't be on the street at night. You're a woman, somebody could do something to you. And was like screaming at her. She closes the door. So to me that's the red line. And then like I said, I took my 8 year old daughter a few days later on, on a, on, on an amphibious duck tour around downtown the lake. I hadn't done that like 10 years with my other kids. And I get on the bus on the, the amphibious boat, World War II boat. People know, it's like, you know, duck adventures off Texas. And it's literally all Muslims. I mean they're just everywhere. And so my point is, is that this is. And they're ally with the left. They are used for a destabilization force. And Trump just needs to point this out because here's the deal. We're like, oh yeah, there's a lot of Muslims whiling about the attack because the evil moms have given the jihad order thousands of clips all over the world saying this is the global intifada. This is when they're ready to make their move. That's why Hamas did all this. This is a global. They think they have enough numbers in Europe, the uk, Australia, New Zealand, Canada. They are now saying we are now going on offense. They have put out their black flags of no surrender. They are coming to literally come after us. And this has just begun. Alex, social media, where do people go to get your show? They're trying to shut you down all the time. Our audience loves you. Was a magnificent presentation tonight. Where do folks go? We're still battling in court for the grace of God. We're still here at M4S but regardless, real auction's on X, the auction channel on rumble. Infowars.com forward slash show. And we're here fighting as hard as ever. Thank you so much Steve man. And thank you to everybody. And I would say to Trump is no, you weren't too hardcore. You weren't Hardcore enough. Cry havoc. Let loose the dogs of information war. Tell the people, conscript them directly. Ask them to join you directly and say, I need you. Because Trump strong, he always like, you know, I can do it. Just no, he has to call on us. Any great leader asked Trump, call on the people and we will have victory. Cry havoc. Alex Jones, patriot hero, an American original. Thank you, sir. Honored to have you on here tonight. Wow. Toughest job in all media is going to be Damon Roberts following Alex Jones. Short commercial break. We are giving you the assessment of the President's speech tonight. We're going to continue Real America's Voice in just a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay to find. We actually had a volunteer to follow Alex Jones. Man, that was amazing. Absolutely amazing. John Fredericks, you got to be up like gruber at like 2 or 3 in the morning. What do you got for us, sir? Your assessment, analysis and observations. Game on. I think what the president did tonight, Steve, was he seized the narrative away from the fake news and the fraudcasters, which in my town, Washington, D.C. and yours as you now have been in overdrive and trying to pummel this administration into oblivion going into the midterms so they can get power back and impeach him. Everybody knows that. I thought his speech was intense, but the intensity was authentic. So this was authentic Trump. It was intense, it was focused, it was charged, but it was cogent. I think what you saw tonight is he outlined, hey, break through all this. Here's what I inherited when you elected me, you elected me to fix this. Now here's what I've done in a year. This thing was so messed up. We had an invasion. We had all these illegals. We had inflation at 9, 10%. We had jobs lost. Nobody could get a home. This thing was a complete and utter catastrophe. He outlined what I thought one of the best things he did was here is why we have to get these illegals out. They're taking your jobs, they're taking your homes, you're taking. They're taking housing, they're taking your tax money. You're paying for them, you're paying for them and you can't afford to live. And they're living in hotels and you're paying for their meals and education and health care. They go to the emergency room. So he outlined that. But the best thing he did tonight was after explaining where we've been and where we are, he talked about where we're going. And look, he's not gonna sit there like Bill Clinton and Talk about empathy. Okay. It's not his thing, so we gotta get that. That's not who we elected. But I thought he did a great job tonight in laying out here's how your life is going to get better. And he did mention affordability. He didn't call it a hoax. He knows it's real. And he said, here's how I'm gonna make your life better. You're gonna get more money in your pocket. You're gonna get the biggest rebate in the history of, of the United States coming when these tax refunds come. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime. A lot of people haven't realized this because it's still getting taken out of their check because the payroll services haven't caught up. This is all going to come back in their refund. Other thing he said, which I think is going to get people's attention, is, look, 100% of the new jobs that we've, that we've seen come, 100% of them are for US born citizens. They're for you, they're for your kids. Not for illegals, not for immigrants, not for foreigners. Now, in order to do that, I don't know what he's going to do with these H1B visas because they don't fit. What he said tonight, those have got to go. I thought the other thing is, he said, look, wages are up. Wages are now outpacing inflation. All of this is not. You get on the fake news every day. It's just one minute after the other. Trump is bad, you're going broke, your life is miserable, you hate your kids. That's basically what they're saying. And that's not true. Some people are buying into it because they are suffering. Healthcare is gonna go up. He talked about that. What a disaster Obamacare is. So I think this was, this could be Steve. This could be the turning point going in to 2026, that he can start explaining to the American people what he's doing to make their lives better. Because at the end of the day, that's what they elected him for. Great, you got peace in the Middle East. Great. You got a hostage at home. Great. You got peace here. You're trying to get Ukraine, but we elected you because we're afraid of our future. We're afraid of our jobs, we're afraid of these illegals. We want to be safe. You know, he brought up our town, Washington, D.C. which has been the greatest metamorphosis of an urban center in the history of the galaxy. I mean, there's Nothing to compare it. In the nine months since he's put his policies in here, we got the National Guard and everything else going on. He's beautified the city in nine months. He brought that up. So I think a lot of these things people are going to look. Is it going to connect with everybody out there? No. Right. But I think he's. He got. He got relatable tonight. There was a relatability to him that we haven't seen. And look, all of us have said this. You know, we're done with the tech Bros. We're done with Golden Domes. Nobody's interested in that. What are you going to do to make my life better? Because right now I'm feeling the pinch. And I think he got there tonight. This was a big step, and I think it could be the beginning of turning the tide for us. You know, Stephen Chung. Very well. Stephen Chung just tweeted out that the President, upon finishing his speech, went back to the Oval Office to get back to work. What would you recommend to the president the first two or three things he does to show the American people that he's going to execute on the speech? I think he should. He should demand. Right now, he should demand the Senate get rid of the filibuster so they can pass the health bill. They passed it today in the House. That is the number one thing he's got to do and he's got to take it right to the American people. Forget Thune, forget Graham, forget all these clowns in there that don't do a damn thing. Go right to the American people and say, we have a health bill that is going to bring your prices down. We want to give you the money for you to decide what. What is best for you and your family. Not big insurance companies. We're not going to pass that in the Senate with the filibuster. They're going to stop it and then they're going to shut the government down again on January 31st so you can suffer more. That's. That's the number one thing he needs to do. Because absent of that, we're still not going to get any. Anything done. I thought the 1776 checks backs to the military were fabulous. And I think they're working on a tariff rebate. Obviously, we have to see what happens with SCOTUS with that. So I understand his reticence to announce that tonight, but the number one thing you can do is get rid of the filibuster. The plan that passed in the House, not the best plan, but it was something. And they need to get there through this. They're not. And so it's going to be more gridlock. And who are they going to blame? Republicans. That's, that's what they always do. And the losing streak did we have, Steve? The losing streak is real, okay. I mean, we just went in halftime and right now we're down by at least three scores, maybe 17, maybe 20, but we're down, we're getting beat everywhere. So we got to turn this and, but you got to go right to the American people. And I think he did that. And this is more effective than rallies. Rallies. He's speaking to the base. This, he talked to everybody, to the nation. John Fredericks, where do people get you your content? Your show starts early, where they go? 6am Baby, bright and surly at JF Radio Show. John Frederick's radio network at JF Radio Show. All my social media is there. We put out a lot of videos, a lot of tweets, and we're right here in Washington, D.C. i'm sure I'll be at the White House tomorrow. It's going to be chirping and we're going to bring the coverage straight to, to you. Steve, thank you for having me tonight. Thank you. By the way, thank Ann for letting you stay up tonight and join us here late for your early morning. I know you get up at 2 or 3. John Fredericks. Thank you, sir. Great, great analysis. Let's go out to Phoenix to Amfest. We're setting up there. We're late here tonight, so we're going to fly out tomorrow, I think, late after the morning show. Ben Berkwam. I guess we got somewhat of a studio up there, sir, tell me about what you thought about the speech. Yeah, we're setting up here, obviously, big event coming up with Amfest starting tomorrow. Look, I'm kind of right where Alex Jones is on this. The American people MAGA is looking at President Trump and said, we elected you to do these things. We see the existential threat that we face in America. I see this every single day when I'm out with ICE and Border Patrol. We can't play patty cake anymore. It has to be. This country's on fire. These are the traitors in our government. And the biggest thing in all of this, Steve, that I hear from people every single day is when are the mass prosecutions coming? We need two things. Two mass things in America, mass prosecutions and mass deportations. And that's what the voting base, the MAGA voting base voted for. They wanted retribution. They want accountability. And it's not retribution they want, it's actual justice. And they look at what President Trump has done so far and he's done some good things. He sent ICE out, he's unleashed Tom Homan and ICE and Border Patrol to do their jobs. But what we're seeing across the country, and to John Frederick's point, we're losing. What we're seeing across the country is the left have weaponized the anti American forces against us and we're quiet. Other than me and you and Alex and a few others that are actually telling the truth, there's very few people out there that are actually saying what we're seeing. And I hear this all the time. I hear people message me all the time and they say, hey, thank you for being out there with ice. Thank you for being out there with Border Patrol. And my answer to them is come out. We need you. We need you on the front lines. We need you standing against these traitors that are destroying our country. We need people on the front lines standing up and saying, we support ice, we support Border Patrol, we support President Trump. And America needs to see that. That's what they want. They want less money going to any other country in the world. In fact, they want no money going to any other country in the world, even our allies. They want it all focused here in America until we get our house in order. They don't want to hear anything else about anywhere else, about anyone else. They want to hear about what President Trump's doing for America. That's why I think it's really important that he did focus on domestic tonight. But it's not enough. This is a war that we're in right now and President Trump knows it. I know he knows it, but he's got to say it. He's got to come out and invite the American people to join him to defeat the enemies within this country that are destroying us. Ben. Brilliant. Ben. I know. You get the kids there. It's late. Give us your social media. We'll see you tomorrow. Where do people go? Yeah, no, hey, stay tuned. AM Fest.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, let's go back to where we started. Studio live from Studio 6B. Damon Roberts in the team there. Guys, you know, nobody's tougher. Nobody looks at things with a more jaundice eye than a New York crowd. What do you got for us? Well, we agree with a lot. Alex Jones was fantastic. I probably aligned mostly with what he said, Steve. But you know, the first thing I thought of is the Trump remains the master manipulator of all things media. Because if the media broadcast networks knew what they were getting, maybe they thought they were getting war in Venezuela tonight. If they knew they were going to give him 20 minutes for him to knock out of the park everything he's doing. I don't know. I don't know that they would have covered it. But that's the first thing I thought. The second thing I thought when he first started, I was thinking, who is the audience for this speech? Yes, because the president and maybe it's the time restraints. He had seemed a little forceful, seemed like he was yelling a little bit, seemed a little frenzy, force fed. But you know, I think the answer to your question, Steve, is no, that you've been asking all night. I don't know that it resonates a week before Christmas trying to reset the conversation. I'm not sure it works. I'm not sure it's remembered. But for those of us who said, yeah, this is our guy, this is what we voted for, obviously we love it. We see what the president's doing. We know we, we know what he's doing. But, you know, in general, I think resetting the conversation a week before Christmas is tough. The president seemed rushed tonight. I don't know that we got a lot new. I did like the 1776 thing. I like a lot of the other stuff, but I think Alex Jones nailed it. And these are some of the things I brought up in the pre show. And I know John Solomon said, nah, that's really not going to be a part of it. But, you know, people who pulled the lever for him, they pulled the lever because they wanted an accountability agenda. They wanted deconstruction of the deep state. They wanted mass deportations. Where are we with all of that? I thought maybe there was room in there for that. But, you know, the president did what he did. I don't know that a lot of people remember this by the weekend. Let me talk to the uni guys about Jones. What you described, that deep state, stopping the color revolution, all of it. That's kind of the wetwork of modern politics. He talked about a lot of policy tonight. Remember, we have a tough time even deal with the Senate. You're talking about something even deeper. Mass deportations. You got to go into Chicago. We haven't been to New York yet. Right. We went the one time. And throwing garbage cans at us. What Alex Jones said is that this is a crusade for the country. Right. If we don't get this part right, we're not going to have a country. And you can have all the good tax bills and everything like that is. When does he make that? When do you guys think he makes that speech? When we come back from the holidays. Because I agree with Alex, we eventually have to have that conversation. I think maybe even on our side of the football. You don't need to go on broadcast TV for that. You've got to get everybody in MAGA because everybody in MAGA is not aligned with this. Right now you got the hardcore, the real America's voice, kind of the dead enders, right? We're here talking about it every day. Our audience wants to do it. But when? Guys, I'll throw it open. We got a few minutes. When does he make that speech and how does he enlist the support of not the Warren Posse and not your audience, the Rav audience. They're there. But the broader context of what the 80 million people that voted for him. Paul Nolan talks about this all the time. Paul. Well, for me, you're talking about, for one, we see Magas getting splinted in every direction. We see a concerted, let's call it even. A psyop to destroy MAGA at every level and splintered it to pieces with the divide and conquer agenda throughout the social media and the news. You know, Trump is up against globalists, he's up against on the ground, he's up against the Marxists and the Islamist, and the media never stops spinning everything against him in such a way. I think if you hearken back to Covid, everybody was talking about globalism and Agenda 21, which ended up being Agenda 2030, which ended up being the Great Reset. Everybody has heard of this. So if he comes in a full assault at this point, there are so many alternative media out here like us who could then get it onto the ground. If he comes with a straight ahead agenda, we are taking on globalism. We are going full force at sovereignty for the American people and the American nation, that every one of these nations have plundered our wealth through USAID and NGOs. At this point right now, I think he could come full on and just explain this to the nation and let the people on the ground have the argument in the street validated. Because every time you try to bring these things up on the ground, what do you hear? Oh, you're a nut. No way. You're a conspiracy theory. But I don't believe that's the case at all. I think there are more of us on the ground who are willing to fight that argument in the war of, you know, the minds or the infowar, if you will. As a, as an Alex Jones guy, I think we can make a huge difference, especially between now and the midterm because we are up against. This is the last window to stop globalism and centralized currency. In my opinion, the British Empire is now the British banking system, which is the central banks, which our ultimate enemy. And you look at that collusion of power. Why do you think they keep wanting to fund this Ukrainian war? They have to. But why do you. Why do we have to Venezuela? Because there's an endless amount of narco money keeping and propping up these fiat money in this fiat currency globally. Delgado, can he have that? Can you have that conversation with us if you got so many tech bros around? Well, I'm Nolan Delgado left. He had to go hug his teddy bear. One last thing that I want to give. I want to just. That question is great though, with the tech bros around. I mean, I would love to touch that subject. Well, for me, I don't know. How do you stop. Hit it. Well, we got the wet. We have the PayPal mafia, got a great deal of control. Where do we go with this from here? How do you combat that? I think you got to combat that now before it's impossible to combat. And I think it's up to us to get that message on the ground and validate it from the President, top down, put it out there, lay the edict out there. And it's up to us to dispute that message and fight for that message. And Steve, one last thing for me, I think the most important takeaway from me from the speech tonight, that that did not sound like someone who thinks that affordability is a Democrat hoax. And I think that's maybe one of the most important things to take away from this because I know the president has said that before. I think he needs to take it head on. I think he realizes that he needs to take that approach and I think he did. Slick Rick is also here. Slick, what did you think of the President tonight? Well, Big D, Steve, you know, living in the sports world right out of the gate, the President came out strong with men out of women's sports. I love that statement. Of course, I love the 1776 for our military. Nobody more deserved of a holiday bonus this time of year than the great men and women of our military. And I wanted to hear a little bit more about the big beautiful bill kicking in come January because that's going to be big. And I think by the end of Q1, we going to be cooking with gas and not electric. And that's where I'm at with this. So I like, overall, it was a good one. But, you know, I want to hear a little bit more about the big beautiful bill. I don't think he really outlined it as much as I thought he would. Slick, let me ask you, do you think it played? It's a broadcast audience. These are tens of millions of people. It's not your audience, not ours. It's not these people that, you know, know this stuff cold and can help write the speech for a broadcast audience. You think a lot of them got lost? It was just too detailed, too technical? Absolutely. And I think Alex touched on it as the big day. Yes, I do. I think it was way over their head and above their pay grade. A little bit there, Steve. Guys, it's fantastic. Give me your social media. How do you want to do this? I want to know where everybody can follow you guys and what time the show is or we're all on next. Steve, obviously Slick is at Slick Rick Sports. Yep. Paul, what's yours? Paul? Underscore eggs Nolan. And obviously the show is at lfsxb, pretty much everywhere at lfsxb, everywhere except for Instagram, which is LFSXB show. Love you guys. Keep fighting. Love that tough jaundice. New York, you know, New York take on things. Thank you, guys. As only. Merry Christmas, Steve. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Love you guys. Merry Christmas. Thank you, Rabbi Wicki. Rabbi Slickwick was there. He's a. He's a sports guy. What would have been the over and under, would you take in? The over? The under that we'd have a speech tonight and would not mention the Middle East, Would not mention Ukraine, would not mention Venezuela, sir. Well, he did mention the Middle East. He talked about bringing peace to the Middle east, which is, I think, still a hope that we all have that will actually succeed. And, you know, so he did mention that. But what I saw tonight was a speech by a president who really loves the American people and really cares about the American people. I love that. That bonus for the. For the members of the military. I thought that was beautiful. And, you know, really reminding everyone why they fell in love with him in the first place. But, yeah, peace in the Middle east is a. Let's talk about Alex Jones. Alex Jones. But Alex Jones said, hey, look, we're in the middle of a war now. You've got what happened in Savannah, you've got what's happened in Brown. You know, Sydney, Australia, you're in the middle of it. And maybe night tonight wasn't the night, particularly talking to broadcast tv, but at some point, do you agree the president's got to, I think, on our side of the football, kind of lay out exactly what's going on and what we have to do to defend ourselves. Oh, absolutely. I mean, that's what I meant about it being a little bit elusive. You know, we're in a global war right now, Steve, and, you know, this is jihad. It is upon us. And what happened in Sydney the other day, with all those Jews getting gunned down, let's remember that that happens pretty much weekly in Africa to Christians at the hands of the same type of Islamists. And over there in the Middle east, again, as much as President Trump said he brought peace, and we are so grateful for everything that he's done and bringing our hostages home and all the efforts that he's making. But Syria is on the verge of exploding with what's going on there, the Lebanon situation with Hezbollah not disarming, and all of the different factions who are pulling on that there, and this whole relationship with Qatar and Turkey, who are really at odds with the Other real moderate nations in the region, the Saudis and the Emiratis and the others. So there's a lot of problems there to solve. And we are really at war globally with Islam. And, you know, so I don't think President Trump addressed that. That wasn't really, apparently that wasn't the purpose of the speech. But there needs to be a game plan going forward for how, you know, how America, which really is the west, it's the mothership of the west these days, how it's going to solve this global problem which seems to be spiraling out of control. On the same day that that Sydney attack happened, there were six Muslims who were arrested in Germany for planning a mass terror attack at a Christmas market. And there was a nativity scene that was torched in Italy. And in Amsterdam, there was another Muslim riot that, you know, another, you know, violent terrorist incident there. And this happening all of the. And that was all in one 24 hour period, along with what happened at Brown University and a shooting of a Jewish family in, in Los Angeles. And that was all in a 1:24 hour period. So, yeah, we're at war. And at some point the President is going to have to address that issue. And, you know, it's. Yeah. In the end of the day, unfortunately, America is the top dog and the problems do end up lying at the feet of the President of the United States. Rabbi, I got about a minute. Jack and I have been all over this Brown situation. There's something very odd going on. We're hearing behind the scenes that the young Christian woman was actually targeted. What do you think's happening to Brown? I mean, it looks to me like they're suppressing information out there about who the potential assailant is and actually what happened in the classroom. Well, Brown University, of all the Ivies, you know, as someone who is in the Israel space, I'll tell you that of all the Ivies being, you know, with all the anti Semitism and anti Israel bias that we heard about in those congressional hearings with, you know, Columbia and Harvard. The worst of them is Brown. Brown has, has a Palestinian studies department headed up by a professor who had been a top professor at Birzait University, which is basically a Hamas university in Ramallah, and he's now a faculty member at Brown. They produce textbooks for schools all over America that indoctrinate children to hate the Jewish people and to hate the state of Israel. So Brown has been a cesspool of this jihadist stuff for a long time. And they've also, you know, the media has been suppressing the fact that this shooter, upon coming into the room was shouting Allahu Akbar. So this is really, there's some kind of COVID up going on in Brown, but it doesn't surprise me at all considering Brown's record. So, you know, the Ivies are infested with this, you know, with this Jew hate and this and this pro Palestinian, you know, demonic ideology and Brown is the railhead of it. Rabbi, where do people get you? What's your social media? We gotta bounce. I'm Rabbi PW on X and go to the Israel365 YouTube channel where you'll find all my updates and Rabbi will see at a damfest. Look forward to seeing you. I'll see you at Anas. I'm in Phoenix. Looking forward, Rabbi. Rabbi Wilecki, thank you, sir. Short commercial break. Back to the War room. Real America's Voice coverage of the President's address to the nation next. We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp. Here's your host, Stephen K. Serrano. You're the marketing guy, you're the comms guy. We end with you. Frame it for us. What happened tonight. Tonight, Steve, we saw two Donald Trumps. One was a wartime leader and the other is a national campaign chairman. So let me describe those to you, if I may. As a wartime leader, Donald Trump recognizes that the globalists and the Washington elites have been waging war against us for decades. And, and the worst years of that war were under Biden. And Donald Trump showed up tonight to announce to the world that just like Mel Gibson's character in the movie The Patriot in 2000, no retreat. Hold the line. No retreat. Donald Trump recited to us everything that was wrong with America and everything that he's fixing because he is waging this war against the globalists and the elites. And he's almost doing it single handedly. And he's saying to us, we are winning this war. The war against the working man in America, the war against the American family, the war against our border, the war against our educational institutions, the war against our religious institutions, the war against our communities. All of those wars they've been waging for decades. The worst under Biden, Donald Trump is helping us win that war. The second Donald Trump we saw tonight was national campaign chairman. And Steve, this is where, you know, all those moments in the past where we scratch our head and say, what is he up to? This is one of those moments. What is he up to. I'll tell you what he's up to. We are 320, 332 days since he was inaugurated. We are also 321 days from November 3, 2026, the midterm elections. This was his halftime report as the national campaign chairman. This was his announcement speech saying, I am running this election in 2026. Because this speech, Steve, was a primary speech. This was to a primary audience. Because those primaries when we can clear out some of this clutter of establishment Republicans and bring in MAGA Republicans during the primaries. This speech was for that audience. We've got plenty of time for him to speak later in the spring and in the summer to a broader audience, just like he did in 24 with his broad based coalition across the spectrum. And think about it, Steve. Think about July 4, 2026. Think of the parades, the flyovers, the gallantry. And who's going to be the leader of that memory, that celebration? Donald Trump. And it's going to be appealing across the board. We're going to unite as a nation under his leadership. Those are the two Donald Trumps we saw tonight. Wartime leader and our national campaign chairman. He went back, by the way, brain analysis. He went back to the Oval. Stephen Chung tweeted it out right away, said he got back to work. What would you recommend the president do? Well, the first one or two things as wartime leader and as national campaign chairman that you think he ought to accomplish. Yeah. Well, look, I say as wartime leader, I know we've got to put pressure on the Senate. John Thune is a disaster. And you know what, Steve? It's not just about blue slips. It's not just about the filibuster. It's also about being in pro forma session every single week. When these people go home, why are they in pro forma session? To block recess appointments by Donald Trump. He's the only President that's had zero. Mitch McConnell did it to him in the first term. John Thune's doing it to him now. Lift the block and recess appointments so we can get his agenda fulfilled. And I would say as the national campaign chairman, one of the first things I want to see him do is lower the barrier of entry to first time home ownership. We need a complete full scale attack so that young people can get there. And by the way, Steve, pulling from the playbook of 2024, let's get like Alex Jones was saying, get him back in front of the for the bro vote. Get him back on those podcasts. Get him on here, the war room get him on Real America's Voice because that's how we're going to mobilize this broad based coalition. Serrano, where do, where do people go to track you? You always got, you know, you're, you're an original gangster. You've been around this business a of pros pro. Where do folks get you, sir? Thank you, Steve. On Truth Social and getter, I'm at @ Serrano S E R R A N O and on X I'm at at Mark V. Serrano. Appreciate your coverage tonight, Steve. Only in the war room. Thank you. Only Only in the war room. You guys are great. And I want to thank Denver, I want to thank the Washington D.C. bureau both at the White House and John Solomon over at the anchor desk in Downtown Washington D.C. denver, West Palm Beach, Parker. And we got a team out, we got a huge team out in, in Phoenix right now setting up for the, for Amfest. We will be out there. We're going to do the morning show from here now. We're going to be out there tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening. I want to thank Eric Bolling and all the team that are out there before we leave. Just I thought, look, this was, this was in your face Trump. There was no high rhetoric in this speech. He kind of laid it out and I think it's a good start. I agree with Alex Jones. I think we do have to pull the camera back probably in the first couple of weeks of the year and really talk about the broader context of this fight. We're in part of where you see this fight, what's happening in Savannah with the acid attack on the young Christian woman and then what's happening at Brown University. I just beseech either the FBI or DHS or the Justice Department. The group that's up there right now investigating Brown's a totally corrupt institution. It's one of the institutions, a great institution, one of the first of the ivies, I think it was Baptist that formed it. It's totally lost its way. You can't believe anything these people say. You saw the incompetence the other day. Something has happened up there. This young woman was targeted. We know that because people that were in the room that got shot are telling their parents and their parents are talking to people. We need to have immediately a full disclosure of was she targeted or not. If she's not targeted, then continue to move on with the investigation. But the information about what happened to her is absolutely just. It just must, must, must, we must, we must, we must hear this. And if federal authorities. If they're being blocked by the local authorities, it's not acceptable. You have to take action. Action, action number one for parents and children of conservatives throughout the country, including. We got Amfest started. We should know exactly what's going on and what happened. What happened to this young woman. Okay, we're gonna be back here at 10am Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. Matt Boyle, Breitbart and others were absolutely jam packed already. Coverage of the speech and so much more that is going on, including this investigation at Brown University and in Savannah. We're gonna leave you now with the right stuff, pump you up late in the evening. I want to thank everybody, all the Warren Posse, real America's voice audience, everybody stuck around. We tried to present some of the best analyst observers, political operatives. Not too shabby. Thank you for sticking around. I thank the production team for doing this. We'll see you back here tomorrow morning, 10:00am Eastern Standard Time. When you be back in the war room.
