President Trump says ISIS has been viciously killing primarily Christians in Nigeria. And he says there will be many more dead terrorists if the murders continue. So the president announcing the strikes on Truth Social last night, saying in part, quote, our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorism to prosper was not a merry Christmas for ISIS in Nigeria. Not a merry Christmas for that. I hope it was a very merry Christmas for you and your family, though. I'm absolutely blessed. Wonderful, wonderful family. The. The best wife. I always call her the best wife ever. And I really do believe that I bless beyond belief that way. Prime mud in for the great one, Mark Levin. And it is truly an honor and a pleasure to be here with you. Always is. And one of the things so remarkable about this president, if you were to think of adjectives to describe President Trump and come up with a lot of stuff, right, no shortage of material there. One descriptor that nobody, including his biggest supporters, would ever think about would be understated, Right? President Trump is a lot of things you're not going to have people saying. And Trump is understated. But guess what? He is. He is entirely understated. His success is understated even among his supporters. What he accomplishes is understated. And actually what Trump did on Christmas Day by ordering those strikes and taking out ISIS terrorists that have been persecuting Christians in Nigeria. It's endemic of what the man does, which is never stop working for you. Never stops working for. That's what he was doing on Christmas. What were you doing yesterday? I mean, again, hopefully enjoying a wonderful Christmas with your family. But Trump, yeah, he had that going on. But also, we're going to take out the ISIS terrorists and, oh, by the way, we're working on the pressure campaign against Maduro in Venezuela and some other things that he was doing during the course of the Christmas festivities yesterday and actually reminded me of last year, reminded me a lot of Last year, okay, One of the things that I was thinking about set the man never took a day off. If you remember, all the way back, and I remember we had a conversation on the show a year ago today, the 26th of, of 24 last year. I was talking about how the man didn't even take Christmas off from the day he won the election last year straight through Christmas Day. At that point, the man was working because he wanted to accomplish his agenda. And he's yet to take a day off. The man still is not taking a day off. Didn't take Christmas off this year either. Doing the work that needs to be done around the world. All part of truly making America great again. And so one of the things I have been working on over the past few days, the receipts, the Trump receipts. And I do this for a living. If you're familiar with me, then you know that I will talk about there being two sides to the story. One side effects. I'm very fact based, I'm analytics based, I'm research based. All the stuff that I deliver to you. And given that it's what I do for a living, there shouldn't be many surprises. When I was researching the Trump agenda and the Trump receipts, what the man has actually accomplished all throughout the course of this year, where we are right now, what's coming next, there are a lot of like, holy crap moments for me. There are a lot of things that I knew but I'd basically forgotten about. There are other things. I'm like, holy crap, he was that successful in this issue. So I've got a show for you that I think in a lot of respects, even if you are a news junkie, even if you are a Trump supporter, even if you have been paying attention to what's been in the news during this holiday week, it's going to surprise you. I guarantee you. I'm going to have a lot during the course of this show. It's going to surprise you. So let's get into it. What I was thinking about as I was putting this together, my opening monologue for this year in my show, the Brian Mudd show, which by the way, my home station, WJNO in West Palm beach, not too far from where El Presidente is right now in Mar a Lago. Now you can catch the Brian Mud show podcast wherever you get your podcast at Brian Mudradio socially. But anyway, on my show, I do a monologue called my top three takeaways each day. And the theme of my top three takeaways for the new year in 2025, making America great again. And I went back to it. I was always taking a look at the receipts for Trump. I went back to his plan. I went back to what I laid out in my expectations. And so I'm going to start by just rolling you through my opening monologue from this year, and I'm going to fill in so many of these blanks as we get into the show. But just you can think through this with me and what comes to mind. I started out by saying that this is our year. My top takeaway for 2025 was this is our year and this is our time. And if you've waited for much of your life hoping for fundamental changes within the way that our federal government operates, as in having less of it intruding into your life, this is your year. You can think about if you there are things that come to mind here, the less federal government being in your way this year. If you feel like that's the case again, I'm going to come back with facts, with the receipts on these things. But you can just think through this with me right now. If you've been waiting for the death of, of political correctness and wokeness, this is your year. If you've been waiting for a time in which the godless, soulless and slanderous legacy news media would become irrelevant, this is your year. And I said, actually, based upon the previous November's election results, last year was that year. But you probably went through most of it frustrated and worried by the extent of the dishonest reporting that took place. But I mentioned that now you're able to enter this year knowing that your godless souls and slenderous legacy news videos is largely irrelevant. Again, you can think through this with me. How many changes have we had in legacy news media? And we'll get specific here in just a bit. If you've wanted the rule of law to be upheld, this is your year. If you've wanted equal justice under the law, this is your year. If you've wanted to seal the border, stop the migrant invasion, this is your year. If you've wanted the largest deportation operation in American history to remove the record number of illegal immigrants from this country, this is your year. If you've wanted an end to high inflation and for life to become more affordable again, well, this is your year. If you've wanted to take advantage of US Energy resources as opposed to being reliant on foreign sources of energy, well, this happens to be your year. If you've wanted American companies to return manufacturing to the US Instead of relying on countries like China. China, this is your year. If you've wanted lower taxes, including an end to taxes on tips, taxes on overtime, taxes on Social Security, this is your year. Again, you can think through me, with me on these things about what's happened. These were expectations coming into this year that I laid out, and you can just mentally begin to fill in the blanks as we walk. We're not very far into what Trump has accomplished here, and again, I'm going to get very specific on these things as well. If you've wanted a president who will defend our Constitution and our constitutional rights, yeah, this is your year. If you've wanted an end to foreign wars and conflicts that entangle and are often paid for by who? By us. The US this is your year. If you've wanted an end to the weaponization of the federal government against select groups of people, this is your year. If you've wanted an end to the migrant crime and drug epidemic, this is your year. If you've wanted to see safety restored to large cities, this is your year. If you've wanted to see our military rebuilt without wokeness, this is your year. If you've wanted to see the integrity of the US Dollar preserved around the world, this is your year. If you've wanted to see Medicare and Social Security strengthened so that they're not soon insolvent, this is your year. If you've wanted an end to federal regulations that limit consumer choice, that drive up prices, this is your year. If you want reform in education, including the end of funding, critical race theory, gender fluidity and woke agendas, homosexual Alphabet kind of material there and all through the US Department of Education, this is your year. And I said, in fact, if you want the end of the U.S. department of Education altogether, this may be your year. Fingers crossed again, we're going to get to the receipts and all this. A lot of this you just kind of know intellectually, though, you can piece together things that have happened during the course of this year that Trump has accomplished that's made this go. If you want an end to boys pretending to be girls and playing their sports, this is your year. If you've wanted an end to antisemitism and related hate being tolerated on college campuses, this is your year. If you want greater federal election integrity measures, this is your year. And if you want the United States to become more prosperous and successful than ever before, this is your year. Now, why is it that I cited all of those things? What was all of that stuff? It happened to be derived directly From Donald Trump's 20 point plan for making America Great Again. What he actually ran on, there's just the stuff he ran on and I mentioned to start this year that I thought he was dead set on, on making all of it a reality, because I had never in my life seen a president elect work harder than Donald Trump, who was working on Christmas Day last year, never had seen a president elect work harder than Donald Trump since he had won that election. The man literally worked every single day, including working on Christmas Day. And it was because he realized just how incredibly important every day was going to be if he was going to be successful in carrying out the ambitious Make America Great Again agenda, if he really was going to accomplish it. So we're getting warmed up. We're going to begin to break down the rest of what comes together in his plan, the execution against it and receipts that again are going to blow your mind. That's coming up. Brian Mudd in for the great one.

New York City Metro included in a warning for the first time in almost four years. But now all the way back to the Poconos, up to the capital region of New York and back west to Syracuse Icing that's happening across what western into central parts of pa. Yeah. So if you're in the Northeast sympathies as you do have the brutal winter storm that is making its way and then if you're like in la, you got the, the flood situation, there's so many folks in a bad way there. So lots of post Christmas weather issues out there. The flight information, by the way, take a look at the latest. That was Fox Weather's Ian Oliver reporting there. By the way, JFK hardest hit airport by far today. There are now where we stand just about 6,800 delays at airports across the country that have happened today. We are now up to 1560 cancellations in the US so it is rough. Definitely one of those deals where if you are flying, you want to be aware, if you're driving anywhere that's going to be near the Northeast, you definitely need to be mindful of that situation. So very fortunate on my end. My wonderful and talented wife Ashley and I were able to navigate very easily. Actually two different trips during the course of this week. Got time things out very well including this morning making my way back to the east coast of Florida from the west coast of Florida. My parents happen to be in Naples. Yeah. Wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season. Hope you had a very merry Christmas. And it is Brian Muddy in for Mark Levin. I'm taking a look at what Trump has accomplished and where this is going heading into next year and putting the pieces together, putting the receipts, the facts together, just kind of blew my mind. I know it's going to for yours. What I have done here at the onset went back to where this year started, what my expectations were based upon what Trump's expectations were. And you think back to where this year started and how ambitious the Trump agenda is. And then you start taking a look at it and you're like, holy crap, the man actually accomplished something against every one of his objectives this year. In many cases, accomplished more than we could have imagined with many of those. And one of the things that I laid out after just kind of rhetorically working my way through what Trump had promised coming into this year, I mentioned that for many of us, the incoming Trump administration would bring with it the promises that we've waited most of our lives to see happen. And most importantly, maybe unlike the first time that he took office, when he was just trying to figure things out and spent a lot of time in his administration surrounded by the wrong people and all that he had intended and it proved to be true, that his administration would be fully operational by 2pm on January 20th. And you start taking a look at everything that ultimately was accomplished by President Trump, starting with day one. The success that the man had out of the jump, success that he's had as recently as today, is unlike anything we have ever seen. Again, I'm going to bring you the facts about all these things, including rolling through that 20 point plan with Trump that is coming up next. Along with your calls, Brian Mudd. And for Mark Levin.

Brian Mudd
They used a helicopter to hoist at least 21 people from cars and at least 20 others were pulled out of vehicles by crews on the ground in this area. Yeah. So the snow and ice storm in the northeast, you've got the floods in la. I mean, a weird thing. You talk about a place that basically used to dry desert like conditions and all this rain, the record rainfall that's happened. So best wishes to everyone in impacted areas and to many people just trying to get from point A to point B that might not be impacted but maybe have flights or something else that they're screwed up because of all the weather issues. But I do hope that you and your family had a very merry Christmas. May God bless you and thank you for being here. It is Brian Muddy in for Mark Levin. Now. One thing about Mark, remember that you always have Life, Liberty and live in.

That way, even if you go ahead and Catch the show live, you always have a backup. And if you happen to miss it, you can always check it out and get your fill of Mark. Even heading into this weekend. Now, I've been laying out my expectations based upon President Trump's 20 point plan to save America, what he ran on last year, and the expectations based upon that plan coming into this year and for the first half hour of the show and laying that out, just kind of having you think along with me on it, because as I was talking about some of my expectations, you might have been able to go, yeah, I know that we've had success there. We've had. So I'm going to get a little more specific now. Let's drill down on what Trump's 20 point plan to save America actually was, because this will clarify even a little bit more before I get to the hard facts, the hard receipts on all of these 20 different things and what is truly, I think, mind blowing. So as we walk through Trump's 20 point plan to save America, the first one, seal the border, stop the migrant invasion. Seal the border and stop the migrant invasion. And boy, does that happen. No kidding, right? I mean, in a lot of ways, President Trump has been so successful that he's been a victim of his own success. Probably knows nowhere more so than on that particular issue. An absolute crisis that we had for four years under the Biden administration. Open borders, everything else. How quickly did Trump seal the border and stop the migrant invasion? It was incredible. The success and the speed. And again, coming up later in the show, I'm going to have all the specifics on these things. Then you dive into Trump's second point, his 20 point plan to save America, carry out the largest deportation operation in American history. Okay, well, you know, there's been a lot of deportations. You know, there's been a lot of legal issues associated with things that have slowed stuff down. There actually has been record setting deportation activity this year. And a lot of it, a lot of it has been people that are not here legally going, you know what, I don't think I want to end up in, say, Alligator Alcatraz. I think I'll just leave on my own. And so we actually have, despite all the challenges this year, had the largest deportation operation in American history carried out record speed on what's happened here. And again, the specifics in a bit. The third point on Trump's 20 point plan to save America. And to be sure this is a sticking point, this is one that is front and center as we enter the midterm elections next year. It's a concern for a lot of families, maybe you and yours. End inflation and make America affordable again. End inflation and make America affordable again. Now, has inflation been ended? Well, no. I mean, and truth be told, you're never going to end inflation altogether now, literally. Has there been a heck of a lot of progress? There actually has. Are things affordable again? Well, that's where there can be a lot of discussions, a lot of debates, a lot of arguments. But what I'll tell you is that when you take a look at the facts and the progress related to this, it's probably better than what you realize. And actually, a lot of it comes down to the tax policy that a lot of people aren't going to realize until they file their taxes because they didn't make adjustments for massive tax cuts that they've received. But I'm going to dive into the specifics on that one along with the others in just a bit. The fourth point, Trump's 20 point plan to save America. Make America the dominant energy producer in the world by far. Make America the dominant energy producer in the world by far. There are a lot of records that have been taking place in the country this year. Record domestic energy production. Yep, it's one of them. Yeah. But Trump just recently canceled the wind farm thing. I've got a stat on even the renewables that'll blow the mind of, of the, the wind people that are upset about the, the offshore wind, which by the way, for the offshore wind people, you take a look at the negative impact in the oceans. If you're a conservationist, you shouldn't like offshore wind energy and then the onshore stuff. How many birds are you taking out with those? So I'm just putting that out there because you have a lot of people that will claim to be like environmentalists and then also wind people. And the fact of the matter is they don't wash. You can't actually be an intellectually consistent conservationist environmentalist and be a wind energy person because there is enormous, enormous damage that is done through wind energy to creatures, especially in the ocean. The fifth point of Trump's 20 point plan to save America, stop outsourcing and turn the United States into a manufacturing superpower. Okay. You know what the President's favorite word is, right? He reminded you in his primetime address recently, it's tariff. It is tariff. And certainly he has used that to an extraordinary degree to accomplish the manufacturing agenda. How much progress has actually been made. Again, I'll have those receipts very specifically for you. The sixth point. Trump's 20 point plan to save America. Large tax cuts for workers, no tax on tips. Large tax cuts for workers, no tax on tips. Probably doesn't need much of an explanation. You know, that happened again. We'll get specific. Defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms. Defend our Constitution or Bill of Rights are fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms. Okay, all right. A lot of people, especially those on the left, might say, oh, but he's a dictator and he's really. This is dangerous what he's doing. And by the way, the plaques. Did you say what he sued the plaque that. That called Joe Biden the worst president in American history. Yeah, I know. That's just. Oh, my gosh. That's what really matters, what's really important. Yeah. The president has taken extraordinary action to defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and, yes, the right to keep and bear arms. I'll break it down in just a bit. Number eight. Prevent World War three. Restore peace in Europe and in the Middle East. Build a great Iron Dome missile defense shield over our entire country. All made in America. Okay, you started looking at this, and President Trump has always been a man of peace. It was always the great irony in his first term when you had the left freaking out about him, you know, having access to nukes and, oh, my gosh, he's a loose cannon. We're going to end up in all these wars. And he ended up being the only president that didn't start a new war. And the only thing he did was end the ISIS caliphate. And then everybody else was like, holy crap, we better not mess with Trump in the United States. And so you take a look at how much has been accomplished in resolving conflicts around the world. What's being worked on right now with Russia and Ukraine. You've got Zelensky that's coming to Mar a Lago on Sunday. We are hearing that more progress has been made on legitimate peace between Ukraine and Russia. More progress in the past two weeks than in the prior year altogether. So it does sound like we could be on the precipice of unprecedented peace, something we've talked about on the show, and I've been guessing for the Great One, but also all of the other peace agreements that the President has hammered out talk about it all. And yes, the President has laid out the agenda for the great Iron Dome. Missile defense shield over our entire country as well. Number nine in the weaponization of government against the American people. In the weaponization of government against the American people. Yeah. The only weaponized aspect of the federal government that people might say is if you are not in this country legally, you are a target. If you're doing the wrong things, if you're breaking the law, yeah, you are going to be targeted by the federal government. If you're an honest, law abiding American citizen, you don't have to worry about that crap anymore. In fact, you don't have to worry about a lot of bureaucracy anymore because of how much of the government itself has been cut. We'll have the receipts on that. Stop the migrant crime epidemic, demolish the foreign drug cartels, crush gang violence and lock up violent offenders. That certainly has been the focus of ICE all throughout the course of this year, hasn't it? For all the activity that's taken place to date, what really has been the focus has been the so called criminal illegal immigrants. Not just illegal immigrants, but those that are have rap sheets once they're in this country, on top of it, and then people that are associating with them. So let's say that you are hanging out with a criminal, illegal immigrant and you're also here illegally. Yeah, you're gonna get swept up too. And the odds are you're probably not up to great things yourself, aside from the fact that you're in the country illegally. Oh, by the way, Number 11, rebuild our cities, including Washington D.C. making them safe, clean and beautiful again. Rebuild our cities, including D.C. making them safe, clean and beautiful again. Well, there's a lot of work to do, but certainly a lot has been done. And with DC specifically, making the place safer, not for a lack of effort by the President. Number 12, strengthen and modernize our military, making it without question the strongest and most powerful in the world. Well, led by the war secretary Pete Hegseth. There's a lot there, you know. Remember coming into the year yet? Hagseth? Oh, you know, the guy's not qualified. What a joke this is. He's just putting in people he liked from Fox. You notice how nobody talks about Hegseth anymore and how the US military is incapable. And you notice whether it is the strikes that took place against ISIS that were effective yesterday, the incredible operation ending Iran's nuclear program over the summer, or the boats that go boom, the narco drug traffickers. You notice how nobody is questioning Hegseth anymore. Nobody is questioning whether we are strategic, successful, capable. It tells you as much as you need to know about all that. The 13th point of Trump's 20 point plan, keep the US dollar as the world's reserve currency. Now, that might be one that's off the radar a little bit. And people might be taking a look at the price of gold and silver that are up significantly. Record highs for gold and silver throughout the course of the year. And thinking, you know what, the dollar's in trouble. I've got some, again, surprising receipts on this for you. Often, perception and reality are not necessarily in the same place. You can take a look at what's happened with the price of, say, bitcoin in ether, for example, in the crypto space, and take a look at what's happened with gold and silver and realize that you know what, it actually is more the crypto money that's made its way to gold and silver of late than it is anything to do with the US Dollar specifically. And I'll break that down as well in just a bit. And we'll round out President Trump's 20 point plan. That's coming up next. I'm Brian Mudd, in for the great one.

Aaa says 109 million people drove to their holiday destinations, 8 million flew, and nearly 5 million either took a cruise or got on a train. Now, folks driving might notice cheaper gas prices, and that's because AAA says the national average is around $2.85 a gallon, which is about $0.20 cheaper than this time last year. And There are a lot of things along those lines where you start taking a look at inflation, you start taking a look at how much money is in the pocket of the average person compared to this time last year, and you find out, you know what, the average person, the average American is actually a decent amount better off than they were this time a year ago. And you can start thinking that way for yourself. Are you better off than you were a year ago? At this point, if you're the average American, the answer is yes. And I understand the affordability thing is a thing for a lot of people, but has there been progress made? Absolutely frickin lutely there has. And not just on that issue, but across every single one of President Trump's 20 points to save America, something aware if during the course of a four year presidency you were able to get check marks against all 20 of these things, you'd done something. The man has knocked the COVID off the ball with almost all of these within the first 11 plus months of his second term. By the way, that was Fox's Asher Red on the report. Now I've been going through President Trump's 20 point plan to save America, what he ran on, what the expectations were coming into this year, setting up each one of these so we take a look at what he's actually accomplished against him, against each one of them. And I'm going to do that to get into next hour, the 14th point of his 20 point plan, fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age. Number 15, cancel the electric vehicle mandate. Cut costly and burdensome regulations. The 16th, cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, racial, gender ideology and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content on our kids. Number 17, keep men out of women's sports. 18 deport pro Hamas radicals. Make our college campuses safe again. 19, secure our elections. 20 unite our country by bringing it to new and record levels of success. I've got the receipts on all 20 of these things coming up next. Brian Mudd in for Mark Levin.

The S&P 500. It was really outperforming, forming. It hit its 39th record close, the longest winning streak since November. And this rally is backed by real growth. With the US economy in the third quarter growing by 4.3% and November inflation coming in lower than expected. On the trade front, the president's agenda is delivering a massive windfall. New Data shows the US has brought in more than $200 billion in tariff revenue this year. Families are also getting relief at the pump, seeing the cheapest December gas prices since 2020. Oh, by the way. Oh, by the way. I mean, that's like holy crap material right there. Pretty much all of it. There is so much more that has taken place, so much more success that's been achieved within the first 11 plus months of this Trump administration than I think even most Trump supporters are aware of. It's so easy for Trump to have accomplished so much so quickly that you take it for granted. You know, we're very much the instant gratification society. We're very much the group of people that be like, man, what have you done today? Yeah, yesterday you ended up, you know, bringing peace to another warring nation, but what have you done today? Yes, we have significantly lower gas prices and yes, we have record performance in the stock market and financial markets, record 401k balances and the like. What, what about now? What, what about what happened when? In the last 30 minutes. One of the things I've been working on. This is Brian Mudd in for Mark Levin. Hope you have had a, a very merry Christmas holiday season for you and I, I certainly have. But one of the things that I've been working on this week, the receipts I mentioned at the onset of the show and I spent the first hour breaking down my expectations based upon Trump's 20 point plan to save America coming into this year. And then what these specific 20 points of Trump's plan happen to be. Now I'm going to bring you the receipts now. He's talking about there being two sides to stories and one side of facts. What I've done with every one of those points is taken a look at what the ironclad facts are. And this is where I guarantee you there will be some big surprises. And so rather than reinventing the wheel here, let's get right into. It's kind of breaking down my top takeaways to start this year. So I said that if you've waited for much of your life hoping for fundamental changes within the way that our federal government operates, as in having less of it intruding into your life. This is your year. Okay, so what's happened so far? Have we had less federal government intruding in our lives and everything? Just do we have less federal government? As of December 23, there are approximately 271,000 fewer federal government employees. By the way, we just learned the FBI closing the Hoover Building as well, something that Trump had talked about. FBI Director Cash Patel confirming that today one more big federal government building is going to be gone, but the UF. 271,000 fewer federal government employees today than you did on January 20th. Let me put this in a different context. The size of the federal bureaucracy, excluding the military, the size of the federal bureaucracy, the civilian federal bureaucracy has shrunk by greater than 9%. All the federal government largess there is over 9% less of it now than there was on January 20th. That's despite all of the legal opinions by leftist judges, leftist presidents, judges that have been appointed by them that tried to say, no, you can't, as the most powerful person in the world, decide who gets to work for your administration. No, you have to keep these federal employees in place. No, we, we, the leftist judges appointed by Biden, Obama and the like, we really believe that the average American is supposed to work to support federal employees rather than federal employees serving the American public. Now, we should have people that obviously are not necessary, that the American people continue to pay for, because here's the next thing. Think about this. So there, the federal government is close to a tenth of the size that it was when Trump took office this time. All right? So about a tenth less government. Have you noticed any difference in your life? Any. Has anything in your life changed in the least specific to the federal government? There's not a freaky chance, right? Unless you are one of those 271,000 federal employees that was directly impacted, no change in your life. To get rid of a tenth of the federal government. It's kind of a big deal, right? Kind of a big deal. Trump has been shrinking the size of the federal bureaucracy by nearly 1% per month. Holy crap. Kind of a big deal. This is our year. Okay, next one. If you've been waiting for the death of political correctness and wokeness, this is your year. Okay, some of this is contextual, right? When you start talking about political correctness, wokeness, what has Trump accomplished here? Well, I ended up factoring in companies that just kind of renamed their DEI departments. If you take a look at corporate America generally there when it comes to wokeness and political correctness. You've had over half of corporate America react to DEI in some way, like walking it back in some cases, just renaming DEI position something else to try to hide in, but excluding that. If you only take a look at those that definitively have reduced or eliminated DEI programs and anti American, you know, checkbox here type of hiring practices. 20% of companies have eliminated DEI programs completely this year. 20% gonzo altogether. An additional 10% of companies with DEI crap still in place have at least reduced the spending and influence of those programs this year. So straight away, factoring in the fakers who just rename stuff because they don't believe in meritocracy, they believe that we should be checking boxes and promoting people based upon checking the boxes. Even factoring that in, about a third, about one out of every three companies has gotten rid of their DEI crap or at least significantly reduced it. Additionally, 432 colleges and universities across 47 states have eliminated DEI programs this year. 432 colleges and universities have eliminated outright gone DEI programs. 47 states. Which means that, yeah, even most of the blue states, right. It's kind of a big deal how much less indoctrination and the like comes along with, with that. Speaking of college wokeness, and this is huge, the NCAA changed its official policy stance to end men that are pretending to be women from competing as women in collegiate athletics. Kind of a big deal, right? So the NCAA changed the policy to make sure that you can't have men waking up and going, hey, I feel like a chick today. I think I'm gonna go run against the women. Can't have that crap taking place anymore. Can't happen. President Trump also ended trannies in the military, including the insane taxpayer funded conversions for those who had enlisted. Because you know, that was a big point of abuse. You know, a lot of trannies that would get in there, that would only get in the military because they wanted the transition paid for by you and me crap doesn't happen anymore. No more tranny and the military garbage. If you've been waiting for a time in which the godless solace and slanderous legacy news media would become irrelevant, this is your year. Okay, that was the next one I had mentioned. Well, what's happened this year? You've seen the fallout from this all throughout the year. You've had massive leadership changes and major news organizations, including CBS News, right? You may or may not remember, but npr, massive turnover there, All Things Considered. Also just a lot less people at NPR generally because, yeah, we're not paying for it the way we used to. Also NBC, the massive breakup from msnbc. What is now Ms. Now, Right. By the way, what do you think of when you think of Ms. Now? It does sound like a disorder. Doesn't it sound like cutting some kind of condition. Um, but I digress. And by the way, not only have we seen the massive changes in leadership and personnel at CBS News, at NPR, at NBC, at MSNow, but even the BBC, even the BBC, even extending outside of this country following the blow up of their January 6th fake news editing scandal. Right. Massive changes there. Okay, so if you've wanted the rule of law to be upheld, I mentioned that this is your year. Well, this can go in a lot of directions, though. Consider this, the very first law that President Trump signed. You remember what it was, was the first law that Trump signed. It was straight away, then the first few days of his administration, and it happened to be the Lincoln Riley act, remember that signed the Lake and Riley act into law in January. President Trump has signed 12 executive orders so far aimed at improving law and order. Here's another point that is important in all this regarding the legal challenges. 24 cases involving the Trump administration that have made it to the Supreme Court this year. Of those, the administration has received favorable outcomes in 21 of those 24 cases. So basically, about 9 in 10, Trump is winning on about 9 in 10. So talking about the rule of law being upheld, that's huge. That's huge. So much attention is given to the lower courts with the agendas holding up the Trump administration's agenda so often, by the time it makes it to the Supreme Court team, Trump wins. Mention if you've wanted equal justice under the law, that this is your year. If you've wanted to seal the border, stop the migrant invasion, this is your year. Well, of all of Trump's year one achievements, I mean, this is probably the one that is best known, right? But I think it's also the one that's most underappreciated because not only did President Trump follow through on immediately sealing the southern border, total illegal border crossings, including gotaways, are at the lowest level in recorded history, having declined 99 plus percent from the Biden era levels. And so to put it another way, there were often more illegal border crossings in a typical day under the Biden administration than there have been in over 11 months under the Trump administration. I will repeat, more illegal border crossings in a typical day under the Biden administration than there have been in over 11 months under the Trump administration and actually at this pace, probably would be during the entire four years. Aside from the deportation stuff that we will get to now, if you've wanted the largest deportation operation in American history, a lot of people are like, where are the, where's the mass deportation stuff? Well, it's actually happened, but it's happened in a way that many don't necessarily appreciate. I'll pick up there next. I'm Brian Mudd in for the great one.

It's all about more money in people's pockets that they earned and that they deserve to spend or invest however they want to. It's going to be great for the economy, no doubt. Big part of the story there. Congressman David Kustoff from Tennessee, I happen to be Brian Mudd in for Mark Levin. Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas season. Happy holidays. Hope they certainly have been for you. The terrible weather in most of the Northeast, the floods in la, heart goes out to a lot of folks here. Be careful certainly on the travel side as well. What I've been taking a look at Trump's 20 point plan to save America. My expectations based upon that plan coming into this year and what has actually been accomplished. And so we're taking a look at the receipts, the remarkable success that President Trump has had the first 11 plus months at accomplishing his 20 point save America agenda. And as we break all of this down, mention that if you wanted the largest deportation operation in American history, which is One of the things that Trump promised, I mean, there have been a lot of legal issues that have slowed things down, right. And you might think, well, we just haven't had it. And you'll often hear, oh, the Trump administration is not hitting their target. Oh my gosh, they are in so much more and in ways that are, that is actually far more efficient for you and me. So let me explain. If you have wanted the largest deportation operation in American history to remove the record number of illegal immigrants from this country, this has been your year. We have had a record breaking two and a half plus million deportations that have taken place since the onset of Trump's presidency 11 months ago. Over two and a half million. This includes 1.9 million self deportations, which is the single best kind of deportation you can have because guess what? Just to detain and then eventually deport your average illegal immigrant. $17,000 per person. So if ICE has to get involved in detaining and then deporting, the Average cost is $17,000. Thank you, Joe Biden. So how much better is it when they go, you know what? I don't think I want to be hanging out in alligator Alcatraz. I don't think I want to be walking the streets waiting to see if I'm next and they decide to go on their own. It's the single best kind of deportation you can have. We have averaged 7,350 deportations per day since Donald Trump became President of the United States. Oh, by the way, pick up there. Next, Brian Mudd in for the great one. Mark Levin.

These are rules that are set up to make sure our roads are safe. And so if you can't speak English, if you haven't gone through the proper training courses, you shouldn't be behind the wheel of a big rig. Yeah, that, and that shouldn't be a controversial thing either, should it? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. They're talking about the move to cancel as we have found thousands, thousands of illegally issued CDLs. If you are traveling, coming back from making a visit with, with friends, family, and you have a big rig that is ready to run you off the road right now, reasonable chance that it might be somebody that has no business driving a vehicle of any sort, let alone that a, that that big rig, thousands of illegally issued cdls. I mean it is a fascinating thing when you can illegally enter this country, settle up to somebody and go a essay this would I say asylum. And they go, oh yeah, okay, so you're a magic, a word person. We're now going to go ahead and, and hook you up with this NGO over here that's gonna get you set up on all these government goodies. Where do you want to go? You want to stay in like a five star in Manhattan? Okay, we'll get you covered. And then somewhere along the way, not even being able to speak the language in many cases, certainly not being able to legally drive and obtain a license, they're then given the opportunity to have a commercial driver's license in states like California and Washington. And that you have a legal challenge trying to permit those that are not even legally in this country to retain commercial driver's licenses. In the grand scheme of people that are jacked up in the brain, I do not know, I can't even begin to imagine what goes on in the brain of the average person that says, yeah, you know what? An illegal immigrant should have a commercial driver's license. This is. You are broken in the brain if you think that should be so you could be the biggest asylum is out there. You could be the open borders for everybody. How in your right mind do you think it's smart to have people that are not even in this country legally driving commercially? You not even care about your safety on the road. It just is back. Crap. Incredible. Crazy. I'm going through the receipts and I had actually left off with illegal immigration and the mass deportations. What hasn't been captured in much of the mainstream news narrative is the record number of deportations that have taken place. It's actually been over two and a half million. It's actually been over 7,350 deportations per day that have taken place, most of them self deportations. People seen that ICE is going out there in communities and they're going, you know what, I don't want to be swept up by ice. I think I'm going to go ahead and leave on my own, which is the single best thing that can happen. I'm going to pick up on some of those points there as well in the moment. I am Brian Mudd here for Mark Levin. Always an honor and a pleasure to be here with you, the host of the Brian Mudd show broadcast on my home station WJNO in West Palm Beach.

Then we've had Mike, who's been very patiently waiting by as we've been going through the Trump 20 point plan and now that I'm breaking down the receipts, has at least one concern out there about maybe something Trump hasn't taken on.

And I don't blame Donald Trump. I blame the House of Representatives in the Senate. How do they keep spending this money that we don't have?
- [64:15]
Brian Mudd
It's, it's fair, it is legitimate. It factors into inflation. So I'll just give you a couple of things to work with and it's not going to make you necessarily feel any better, but it's a very valid point as we're talking about not having passed the budget for next year. Remember, we could still have another partial federal government shutdown that hits by the end of January because they haven't passed a new budget. So the first thing about this is the most recent fiscal year was set in motion October of last year, before Trump was president, before the current composition of Congress. So you go back to your government years run from October through September. That's why the partial government shutdown began when it ended up beginning this fall. So if you take a look at what was accomplished in terms of reducing the deficit, there actually was a 2% reduction in the size of the federal deficit from the prior year to this year. That was part Biden administration and previous Congress into part Trump administration and the current Congress. And so is that good? I don't think so. But there was at least minute progress in reducing the size of the federal deficit. Now, one thing I will say is for all of President Trump's accomplishments, as you talk about Congress just wanting to spend and one of the big things that should not happen, we should not keep these Obama era, or I'm sorry, the Biden era, the COVID Aca tax credits in place just in absolute ridiculousness that 92% of Obamacare policy is being paid for by everybody else because the health care crisis is Obamacare. It's not Affordable Care. We need to break the back of the insurance first model and have the money go into our pockets like President Trump wants to do with Trumpcare. That's what needs to happen on that particular. But that's where we would spend a lot of additional money. For example, if we don't spend all of that money, we save hundreds of billions of dollars right there. And there are ways, if Congress gets smarter, that we can reduce the deficit significantly as we head into next year. But President Trump himself is not the best on the budget in particular. And I appreciate the concern, appreciate the call. Thanks for hanging on there and bringing up that point, Mike. And, and I'm going to continue with my third, my breakdown here of the receipts on President Trump, because I was breaking down the most recently the deportation piece and it kind of factors into the budget side of it too. So mentioned the cost to ICE for deporting a single illegal immigrant. Deporting when ICE has to get involved is $17,000 per person. And so when you have most of the deportations that are self deportations, we are saving a significant amount of money that way. So basically, when you take a look the first 11 plus months, effectively, in those 11 plus months, we have reduced the illegal immigrant population by about one year's worth of Biden's open border policies. Okay. So if you're trying to figure out what's been accomplished, you have undone basically about a year, the Most recent year, 24 of Biden's open border policies. And given how much harder it is to deport those who are already here, compared to just opening the border and letting every person come in, this is. Yeah, that's, that's a big accomplishment. What's more is that the Trump administration recently finalized a deal with Boeing to significantly accelerate deportations going forward. So Trump administration's goal is on their own to get to where we can deport 3,000 per day. If we did that and we keep with the self deportations that are taking place, you could see that 2 1/2 million number easily go north of 3 million next year. So real progress being made. I mentioned that if you wanted to end high inflation and for life to become more affordable again, that this should be your year. Now, this is obviously a big time hot button issue. This is going to be the issue heading into the midterms next year. Affordability. I've always said that you can lie to people about what policy will do and those who are inclined to believe you may for a time. But you can't lie to people about what is or isn't in their wallet because they know. Right. And I mentioned this. You know, it's funny that we still are having these issues, these debates at the end of 2025. I remember all the way back to the very beginning of the whole Obamacare argument. That's where I actually ended up framing that phrase that I've used ever since. You can lie to people about what policy will do and those who are inclined to believe you made for a time, but you can't lie to people about what is or isn't in their wallet because they know. Because in actually going through the legislation, breaking it all down before it passed, it was clear that Obamacare was not going to make health care affordable, that it was actually going to make it more expensive. Exactly what we have seen. Unless it is subsidized entirely by everybody else, which just makes health care that much less affordable for everybody who isn't being subsidized. So bottom line is, when it comes to affordability, if you're having a tough time out there, that is your reality, period. Right? Some people are really continuing to struggle under the weight of the cost pressures, the overall affordability issues. It's very real. With that said, the fact of the matter is that the average American is faring far better today compared to January 20th. Average person is faring far better today. Let me give you an idea. The Consumer Price Index. See your inflation rate for the first three quarters of President Trump's administration has averaged 2.7%. Okay, well, that's lower than the 2.9% rate that Trump inherited from Biden in 24, despite the impact of tariffs. So the inflation rate itself is lower. But also importantly, and this is the big part, the average income has increased by 3.5% year over year at the same time. What does that mean? Well, it means that net of inflation, the average American has finally been getting ahead again. If you're the average person performing the way that the average person in this country is at work and otherwise, and having to pay for stuff, you are getting ahead by close to 1%. By the time you pay all the bills, all the same stuff goes out, you got about 1% more money in your pocket than you did a year ago. How does that compare? Well, under the Biden administration, the average American was about 3% worse off than they were previously. Okay, so when you, you factored in, how much is the average person making? What is the inflation rate under the Biden administration, you are 3% worse off already. 11 plus months, you're close to 1% better off by the time you get done paying for all stuff. Is that, you know, problem solved and the end of the story? No, again, a lot of people are struggling. There's more work to be done here. But on that note, not only is there real progress, but what's more is that the US Economic growth rate surging, as has been evidenced by the 4.3% third quarter growth rate. By the way, remember that followed 3.8% economic growth in the second quarter. So think about this for the set for a second, the two full quarters under the Trump administration, we've had average growth of over 4%. Over 4%. Holy freaking cow. So with the economy surging far in excess of inflation, that should help continue to facilitate wage growth despite some of the challenges that are presented by AI for example, in some fields and the pressures that had been in place with illegal immigrants that have been taking jobs. You talk about affordability, how much inflation had been pushed into the system because of illegal immigrants. Now, I've done lots of analysis on this in recent years, including housing inflation, affordable housing been taken by the illegal immigrants that Biden allowed in. And so that created inflationary pressures all over the place. Just simply deporting to the extent that we are helps bring down the rate of inflation independent of anything else. It's one of the big reasons why these so called economic experts have been dead wrong about inflation this year Thinking it's going to be far worse because the Trump tariffs, when the rate of inflation has continued to come down, and that is in large part due to fewer illegal immigrants, you get rid of them. That helps take the edge off of pricing pressures. So we'll pick up there next. I'm Brian Mudd in for the Great One.

As multiple cargo planes and equipment. Fox's Kevin Cork on that report. Oh, by the way, another thing that President Trump was doing on Christmas Day, working on getting all of those pieces into place around Venezuela. Not good for narcotics, terrorists, the drug runners, the boats that go boom. Not as many of those right now, in part because they're kind of surrounded out of Venezuela right now as the pressure campaign on Maduro kicks up. One of the things to be mindful of with that, by the way, you take a look at the new axis power, so to speak. Venezuela is not just Venezuela. Venezuela is connected to China. As I have long said, China is not just China. China is Russia. China is Russia is also North Korea with little rocket man is Iran, is Venezuela, is Cuba, is Nicaragua. And one of the fascinating things you talk about, the success as we're going through Trump's receipts this year, the incredible success against his 20 point plan, peace being one of those, by the way, peace through strength on Display, including the situation in Venezuela right now, isolating these axis powers from one another, the effort that has been undertaken so that Iran was isolated. Did China step in to defend Iran when we took out their nuclear program? No. Did Russia know? That was huge. Right. Got the Middle east on our side. We've been getting the Middle Eastern countries levered to us as opposed to China. Huge part of the Trump strategy to continue. Now this with Venezuela. Is Russia doing anything here? Is China? Not that we know of. Right. This is big. So we're continuing to take each of these bad actors and deal with them independently without the rest of that new axis group coming in and causing any trouble. It is masterful success in many different respects. In specific to Venezuela, you know, obviously you've got the drug running, it's been reduced by 30% into the United States. And so it's been huge success. So as I'm breaking down President Trump's 20 point plan, the receipts against it, if you've wanted to take advantage of US Energy resources as opposed to being reliant on foreign sources of energy, and it factors into the whole Venezuela thing, right. This is your year. You see total domestic energy production, new record levels. This year we've increased domestic energy production by 3.9%. That's been driven by a 3% increase in oil production, greater than 2% increase in electricity, 5% increase in nat gas, and get this, an 11% increase in renewables, led by solar. So, yeah, even with the wind stuff going away, a double digit increase in renewables this year. Oh, by the way, we'll continue with the success in the receipts next. Bright mud in for Mark Levitt.

With Donald Trump back in office, one of his biggest adversaries, top Democrat Dick Durbin of Chicago, is leading the charge to derail President Trump's agenda at every turn. And now Senator Durbin has a new scheme, a government takeover of your credit card. Right now, Americans have thousands of credit card options, all with equal strong security. But Durbin's plan could result in less security. That means more risk for your credit, your identity and your financial future. Durbin's bill isn't about helping consumers. It's a giveaway to corporate megastores, which could shift costs onto you while putting your rewards and fraud protections in jeopardy. We've seen Durbin's failed policies before.

Brian Mudd
Oh, that's kind of a big deal too. Fox's Paul Stevens on the report. A record drop in the murder rate this year. Gee, I wonder why that is. Why would that be? Could it be that we've gotten rid of over two and a half million illegal immigrants? Could it be that we've had a focus on criminal illegal immigrants? The bad hombres, the president might say, you know, the average non citizen that has been greater than nine times as likely to commit crime compared to you and me, including many multiples more likely to murder somebody. So it's a funny thing that happens. You combat illegal immigration and things get a lot safer, including a record drop in the murder rate. But you still have a lot of the large cities that don't want the Trump administration to help, including the one most notorious for murders, which would be Chicago. No, we can't have the guard coming in here and helping make our city safer. That wouldn't be a good. We, we like people getting killed on the regular, you know, it's just chi town, you know, the way we do it, I can't imagine the people actually vote for people that are like, you know what's good, more crime. I want a less safe community. I want fewer job opportunities because illegal immigrants have them. That's, I'm gonna keep voting for those people. That's a special person right there. Anyway. Hey there. Hope you had a merry Christmas. Happy holidays to you. Brian Mudd here for Mark Levin, always an honor and a pleasure. Host of the Brian Mudd Show. I hub out of WJNO in West Palm Beach. Catch me at Brian Mudd Radio socially, the Brian Mudd show podcast, wherever you get your podcast. I've been going through the receipts for President Trump's first 11 plus months breaking down during the course of this show, each of the President's 20 point plan, each of those items to save America. Now if you are just joining us, welcome. Thank you. Catch up. Check out the podcast after the show and get yourself into those first two hours because I have to pick up and move along in the receipts that President Trump has delivered during the course of this year, we're up to manufacturing, his promise on manufacturing. I mentioned that if you wanted American companies to return manufacturing to the US Instead of relying on countries like China, that this is your year. Okay, so what's actually happened this year? Well, get this all in. 59% of manufacturing companies that do business in the United States have increased manufacturing activity through existing footprints and or reshoring operations stateside. In 2025, 59% of all manufacturing companies in doing business in the United States increased operations this year. So what does this mean? Well, it's led to an increase in US manufacturing employment of 244,000 jobs, while you've had an additional 174,000 jobs that have been protected. Jobs that would have been lost, that have been protected. So round trip, over 400,000 jobs that are here. That wouldn't be 11 plus months, just in US manufacturing. Specific to the reliance on China. Get this, we've gone from 22% of the goods sold in the United States being manufactured from China to most recently, 14%. We got more work to do. Right? But already a drop from 22% of all the stuff that we buy made in China down to 14% and declining in real time. And a lot of that has to do with President Trump's tariff policies and American first executive orders to encourage U.S. manufacturing. If you've wanted to lower taxes, including an end to taxes on tips, overtime, Social Security, I mentioned that this is your year. Okay, well done. Done and done on that, Right? What did President Trump's one big beautiful bill deliver on? Oh, boy. It delivered on those promises in a very big way. Right? The average employee who earns tips saving about $2,000 annually in federal taxes, average tipped employee an extra $2,000 in your pocket. The average employee who works overtime during a given year saving about $1,400 in federal income taxes annually. How about Social Security? Well, those collecting Social Security, approximately 90% of all recipients will have no federal income tax liability for Social Security. What does that mean? About 1500 dollars per recipient per year in savings in federal income taxes. That is what the BBB delivered on the very big white. Now, here's the next piece of this. And this is where a lot of it's been misunderstood. You have a lot of conversation about, hey, you're going to have these record tax refunds that are taking place. Once people file their taxes, they're going to see a whole lot of money coming back. Because the average person that is Benefiting this way hasn't changed withholding. So the same level of tax is still being taken out. So it's going to come back in the form of a tax refund, which by the way, and this is for a different time. But if you're the type of person that gets to filing taxes and your goal is to have a big tax refund, that's not good. That's not good. You probably should seek some financial guidance because giving a income or a interest free loan to the federal government all year, not exactly good financial management. So the goal should not be to have a massive tax refund. It's just a byproduct of people not realizing what the changes mean to them yet. But most people that do end up with significant refunds need to be making some changes so they're worth holding so you can just get to keep more of your own money all throughout the course of the year. That will obviously help with affordability in a very big way. Mention that if you've wanted a president who will defend our Constitution and constitutional rights, that this is your year. Okay, well, 97 Biden era executive actions have been formally rescinded by President Trump's executive orders. 16 Biden era regulatory rules have been overturned through the Congressional Review act process. Got a bunch more that are currently under consideration by the federal courts. And as a reference early in the show, President Trump's win rate before the supreme court is approximately 90%. So Trump has taken executive action to protect free speech. He's taken executive action on second Amendment rights, restoring meritocracy, establishing a religious liberty commission on voter integrity. He's taken action rescinding, treating homosexual Alphabet people as a protected class, and notably the birthright citizenship executive order that is also now going to be under consideration by the United States Supreme Court. An interesting one to watch for sure if you've wanted an end to foreign wars and conflicts that entangle and are often paid for by the United States. I mentioned that this is your year. Okay, well, man, has it ever been, right? The receipts on this one massive. President Trump proved during his first term to be the ultimate arbiter of peace. All right, that's what happened during his first term. Now following the message that Biden created the weakness of Biden and what that led to around the world, man, that's led to Trump becoming a historic peacemaker and a historic unifier already in a second term. You know, it wasn't the UN that brought about peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Cambodia and Thailand. Wasn't the UN or Anybody else that brought peace to the Iran and Israel war, Gazans in Israel, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Pakistan. Wasn't the UN or anybody else that brought peace between Egypt and Ethiopia or Serbia and Kosovo. It was President Trump. And he has all those other ones that you might not have even known were really going on or whatever. Those are the other wars that Trump has ended that he negotiated the end to. Kind of a big deal. He's brought about a record amount of peace in a short period of time and obviously working on the big one here. Right. The hardest one, the Russia, Ukraine war. And even as far as US Involvement goes, while we've strongly supported Ukraine against Russia's aggression, we've not made that a free lunch, have we? President Trump negotiated good terms for us. We're being paid back from Ukraine by natural resources. So we got that rare earth deal in place, some of the related minerals and natural resources. So we're not hosed as taxpayers for helping out Ukraine anymore. And then the ongoing weapons that are provided to Ukraine, they're sold through NATO as opposed to just again being handed over in you and me paying form. Every aspect has been better. And of course, we now have President Zelensky. It's going to be making his way to Mar a Lago on Sunday as they're trying to put the final touches on a peace agreement. We're hearing that the past two weeks have been extremely constructive in terms of progress towards ending the Russian Ukraine war. Some reason for real optimism here. Okay, I mentioned that if you've wanted an end to the weaponization of the federal government against select groups of people, that this would be your year. Well, shoot, from Arctic frost and the Biden administration's unconstitutional targeting of members of Congress, among others, to IRS targeting, the conservatives, pressure put on financial institutions to debank conservatives, the pressure put on Big Tech to censor conservative speech, deplatform conservatives, it's all over, right? All that nonsense, that crap has been cut out. It's pretty big deal. Pretty big deal. So we continue to walk through Trump's 20 point plan, the receipts, the progress on it. If you've wanted an end to the migrant crime and drug epidemic, I mentioned that this is your year. Well, with non citizens having become 914% more likely to commit crimes compared to legal citizens by the end of the Biden administration due to the open border policies that opened the floodgates to all comers. No surprise that with a closed border and over 2.6 million fewer illegal immigrants, we have that big decrease in crime, including as mentioned in the the clip at the open here this hour, the record decrease in murders. So about that. As of the most recent information available, the decline in crime looks like this. Homicides 17% lower. Robberies 25% lower. Thefts 25% lower. Overall crimes committed in the United States down 11% through the first 11 months this year. Property crimes 12% lower. So if you wanted to see safety restored to large cities, that's also part of what goes on this year. I'll pick up there next. Spry Mudd in for the great one Mud Lovin.

Prime on in for Mark Levan as we are taking a look at the receipts, the receipts that have been delivered by the President during the course of this first 11 plus months and they have been significant. Now left off by talking about the most recent available information. The crime we had a huge decline, 17% fewer homicides, record decline year over year. Robberies off 25% thefts 25% lower overall violent crime across the country off double digits. Property crime too. And then as we take a Look at Trump's 20 point plan, if you've wanted to see safety restored in the large cities, mentioned that this is is your year. Well, picking up on the overall numbers, the improvements in crime across large cities, it's been the most significant. Do I oh well, a lot of the focus about immigration enforcement, removing criminal illegal immigrants, but also in part due to President Trump's move to provide National Guard support to large cities, including De D.C. where the overall crime rate greater than 20% lower than a year ago. Mention that if you wanted to see our military rebuilt without wokeness, that this would be your year. Well, mention it a bit earlier in the receipts. The president ended the days of tranny policies in the military, but the overall impact, oh, it's a whole lot bigger than that. While rebranding the Defense Department, the War Department, you have War Secretary Pete Haig said this. That's done well. He's focused on reinstilling fitness and readiness to the armed forces, insisting that the days of fat troops, for example, are over and that from generals on down, our military members need to be fit and ready to serve in battle if needed. So no more tranny military stuff, no more fatsos in the military. We're going to be ready. I mentioned that if you wanted to see the integrity of the US Dollar preserved around the world, that this is your year. Okay, so about that. After years of declines, the US Dollar's place is the world's reserve currency. It's grown this year from a total of about $12.3 trillion held by foreign governments to 13 trillion most recently. So this is something that's really off the radar, aside from the most wonky people. But you actually have seen the US dollar become 5% more of what countries around the world have been going to. We have increased our footprint, our relevance around the world by about 5% compared to this time last year. Something that is again, much bigger than necessarily anybody would have necessarily understood previously. So we'll pick up there at the receipts. Brian Mudd in for the great one. Mark Levin. So good, so good, so good.

How quick we forget that is Florida Congressman Byron Donalds, who's Running to be the next governor of Florida as Governor Ron DeSantis Terminal Limited and so see Byron is the Trump endorsed candidate in Florida, Brian Mudd in for Mark Levin. I've been going through the receipts. President Trump laid out his 20 point plan to save America coming into this year. I laid out my expectations based upon that. During the first hour we went through those expectations, we went through the 20 point plan. And since I've been delivering the receipts, what has actually been accomplished in the first 11 plus months under the Trump admin. And so we're going to continue with that here because it is remarkable. So much more has been accomplished than I think even the most ardent Trump supporter realizes. He can be a victim of his own success. You have presidents that would Never accomplish in four years what he's already done in 11 plus months. Because the man never stops working. He works every day, including Christmas Day, just like we saw yesterday with the strikes that ended up taking out ISIS terrorists that had been persecuting Christians in Nigeria, just as he is tightening the noose around Maduro and Venezuela. So as we taking a look at the receipts here, just had finished talking about the, the preservation of the US Dollar. A lot of people take a look at the price of gold and silver and like, you know what, got a lot of debt. Gold and silver record levels. This can't be good. And look, the debt stuff is real. The debt stuff is concerning. But the rate of inflation has been coming down. If the rate of inflation was rising along with this, there's more reason for word concern. But also what we've seen is that the US dollar is 5% more relevant today than it was a year ago today, or actually January 20th for that matter, because more foreign governments are using the US Dollar as a reserve than had been previously. The US Is stronger. The US Dollar is stronger in that respect than it was on January 20th. I mentioned if it's one of Trump's 20 points. If you've wanted to see Medicare and Social Security strengthened so that they're not soon insolvent that this will be your year. Well, starting with Doge, I mean we tend to forget about Doge and everything that was accomplished there, right? Well, starting with Doge, continuing with the provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill act, you had a total of $9 billion annually and fraudulently issued Social Security benefits that was eliminated. You had a billion dollars in annual administration administrative expenses that was eliminated. Enhanced security measures for accessing Social Security and Medicare that have been added. Medicare has had 324 arrests basically one a day for fraud. You've had $14.6 billion in annual fraud that's been eliminated from the program. Additional savings of $12 billion annually that have been achieved through Trump's renegotiation of prescription drug prices. And there's more that needs to be done, obviously, because we do still have both that are facing insolvency next decade. But stopping the waste, fraud and abuse, huge piece of the puzzle to start. Right, so you've had meaningful progress there, tens of billions of dollars in annual savings in those programs. That's already been achieved. Mentioned that if you've wanted an end to federal regulations that limit consumer choice, that drive up prices, that this is your year. Okay, so what's actually happened there? Did you know that the Trump administration has cut a total of 646 regulations that has reduced consumer expense by over $212 billion annually? What does that mean to you? Just through regulations, things that you would never see unless you're a producer that is nailed by these regulations, you are saving about $600 a year. The savings is about $600 per household annually for the regulations that Trump has gotten rid of. Oh, by the way, if you want reform in education, including the end of funding, critical race theory, gender fluidity, like woke agendas through the U.S. department of Education that this would be your year and mention that, hey, maybe even we get rid of the Department of Education. Well, well, so about that. What's happened? Well, no federal department has been cut as much as the US Department of Education this year. Over 50% of its employees have been eliminated. Huge swaths of the department's responsibilities have been redirected. As you're taking a look at, hey, he signed an executive order to try to eliminate the Department of Education. We have made big strides in that direction. So you, for example, have K12 and post secondary education oversight that's been sent from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor. You have the Indian education programs that have been reassigned to the Interior Department, child care grants and accreditation that's gone to Health and Human Services, international programs to the State Department. So what's been happening is as over half of the department's employees are gone. So now you've also had a lot of the responsibilities that the Department of Ed was tasked with that have been reassigned to other departments, paving the path to continue the process of elimination for the Department of Education. And pretty much Trump is doing everything he possibly can without an act of Congress that would actually just outright eliminate the department. Huge, huge 11 month plus progress mentioned that if you want to end boys pretending to be girls playing in their sports, that this would be your year. Well, we touched on this one through the receipts earlier, but it's worth elaborating on. So on February 5th, President Trump signed the executive order keeping men out of women's sports that interpreted Title 9 to require that women's sports categories are reserved exclusively for individuals assigned a female at birth and to withdraw any federal funding from non compliant educational institutions. Well, that's what triggered the NCAA response to where they said, yeah, we're not going to allow biological males to compete as women. Can't wake up one day and go, man, I feel like a woman. And so you go compete against them. Can't do that anymore. If you've wanted an end to anti Semitism and related hate being tolerated on college campuses, this would be your year. Well, in January, President Trump signed the executive order Additional Measures to Combat Anti Semitism and it directed agencies to prosecute, remove perpetrators, taking enforcement actions against non complying colleges and universities as well. So what's actually happened on this? Okay, so far this year, 60 colleges and universities that were non compliant have been investigated and over $400 million in funds have been withheld from those institutions. Mention that if you want greater federal election integrity measures, Trump would be on it this year and we have seen action there. Sign the order Preserving and protecting the integrity of American Elections. The order eliminated Biden's order that created more lax voting standards in federal enforcement and mandates. Among other things, documented proof of U.S. citizenship on mailed voter forms. It directs federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, State Department to share databases with states for verifying citizenship and removing ineligible voters and also conditioning federal elections funds on state compliance with those measures. So if we don't see that states are removing ineligible voters, then federal government is going to withhold money for elections. It also includes updated voting system guidelines, including bans on certain types of systems to be used, equipment that is not considered secure by today's standards. Also prohibiting non citizens from administering federal elections and related materials. Kind of crazy that that stuff was happening. Mentioned that if you wanted the United States to become more prosperous and successful than ever before, that this would be your year. Well, there's a lot to that entire ball of wax. But aside from the progress that I've already covered, consider this. President Trump has secured a total of $9.6 trillion in new US investment since becoming President of the United States. Now, at some point you hear numbers and it's like, that's a big number. It's a trillion. What, what does that mean? What does that number actually mean? What does it represent? Consider this. What do you think? The total foreign investment into the United States over the entire prior decade was 2015-2024. How much total foreign investment into the United States took place? Have an idea? The answer was $2.2 trillion. Okay, so what I'm bringing to you is this, and it's not a mistake. What Trump has secured in just over 11 months is the equivalent of about 44 years worth of investments into the United states. Previously, in 11 months, he secured what previously would have taken the United States about 44 years to achieve. Nobody really Trump will talk about it, but nobody really puts in this context. Right? Kind of a big deal. And so why did I walk through all this stuff? Why have I cited all of these things? It was all in Trump's 20 point plan for making America great again, for saving America. And it is clear that he's been dead set on making it a reality. Moreover, I mean, it's just clear that he has been working every single day, including yet again yesterday on Christmas Day, to make these things happen. It's hard for Donald Trump to be understated. His success this year has been understated even among his supporters. Pretty incredible scorecard. All right, in New Jersey, where the weather is brutal about now, we have Sandra, who has been very patiently been waiting on the line.

Tonight I was thinking about conservatism. You know, I, as far back as I can remember, I was always proud to have conservative values. What's wrong with that? I mean, I looked it up and I found all these wonderful things that it means. It means self control, accountability, integrity. Progress matters with stability. I mean, progress matters, but stability matters too. And that's what we all try to show. And conservatism means appreciation for our country, the sacrifices that came before and the freedoms that we now inherited. There's so many beautiful Things behind that word, conservatism, balance, nothing excessive, you know, responsibility, personal responsibility, respect for the family, community, appreciation for everything. I mean, why don't people see this? Brian?
- [110:32]
Brian Mudd
So, Sandra, I. Brilliant. Thank you. I. And I best wishes on the continued success navigating your conditions there in Jersey. So a couple things about that, you know, and I look at this. I'm a product of the 80s, I'm an Xer. And one of the other things that I talked about going back many years now, is a generational opportunity. And I perceived this Trump administration as being a generational opportunity. I have often made analogies between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Right. You know, during, during the Carter years, you look at how bad things got and ultimately what came out of it. Well, we got Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was so successful. We had so much success in the 80s that it created a whole generation of conservatives. And today the most conservative generation has been my generation, Gen X. And it's not a mistake. And pointed out, and this was evidenced in the election cycle last November, not November as in last month, but in 24, you had more people under the age of 30 vote for Donald Trump on a percentage basis than had since Ronald Reagan won his second term. And so that also was not a mistake. I don't think that conservatism is necessarily as misunderstood as you think it is. I think these things are cyclical, but it takes a real leader to be able to demonstrate it. Yet an absence of leadership on conservative values between Reagan and Trump, and had it not been for Covid, you know, this would have happened quicker. But with all the success that Trump has had this year and the momentum we have heading into next year, if he continues to deliver on the agenda this way, I think you're going to see the youngest generation become the most conservative generation, just like the Xers previously. So I think there's a lot of room for optimism here. And I do not think that conservatism is dead. I think we're actually growing it faster than we have at any point since the 1980s. Brian Mudd in for the great one.

No doubt that Tennessee Congressman David Kustoff on the Fox earlier today and the receipts that I've delivered during the course of the show, I think even most Trump supporters be really surprised by the level of success that's happened here. Trump could be a victim of his own success at times, but we got three more years to go and there's a lot of reason for optimism, I believe, despite a lot of the challenges that are right in front of us.

You have a 100 year plan that's been in place for the Islamist to take over the west. We're just over 50 years into the plan. Here's the good news. President Trump is aware of this, just like he was aware of Rules for Radicals. He's busy undoing what's been done that way. And we've gotten more success to come. Been a pleasure. Have a great weekend.
