And welcome back everybody to America's Voice Live. I am Mike Crispy filling in today for the great Steve Gruber. I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and are gearing up for a very happy new year. You know all I want for the year 2026, my New Year's wish is for President Trump to to do exactly what he's on pace to do right now and that is broker world peace on five simultaneous fronts. That is China, Taiwan, that is the Middle Eastern situation, Israel, Palestine, that is Venezuela and Central and South America. And that is the of course everlasting war that we've now been entangled in for years between Russia and Ukraine. Much has been made of the Russia, Ukraine war and over the last couple of years we have seen Joe Biden take a one sided approach. The one sided approach was to be hostile to a nuclear power, Russia and tell Ukraine we're going to keep giving them everything and tell Russia that they can go bounce hand and if they don't like it, they can drop a nuke or get in line. That strategy was obviously never going to work. It was a very childish foreign policy. On its face it seemed very corrupt as well. When you factor in how Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden was doing business deals in Ukraine and how after 2014 the duly elected government of Ukraine was toppled in a they say CIA coup, I believe it was a CIA coup. Victoria Nulinda Joe Biden's, one of Joe Biden's top foreign policy advisors was running that. And we now find ourselves in a situation where it has gone on for years. Billions of dollars have been spent and we truly have nothing to show for it at this point. President Trump ran on ending this scam, a scam that at the beginning a lot of Republicans were even in support of. They said, oh, we should stand with Ukraine. You remember Kevin McCarthy with his Ukraine lapel pin and his Ukraine pocket square. Remember that garbage? Remember when they said give billions of dollars in perpetuity and don't worry about where that's going or don't worry about the fact that it doesn't help anybody in America. We when we give the money to foreign lands. And don't worry about Zelensky having his own oligarch like policies and doing his own terrorism around the world. Don't worry about that. Just do it. Because Russia bad, that's what they had you to believe. President Trump is rewriting the script, doing exactly what he said he would do. And that is deal from a position of strength, deal from a position of nobody is good, nobody is bad on the world stage, everybody has their own interests and it's up to the United States to maintain order through peace, through strength. That's exactly what Trump has been doing. And I believe he is growing impatient with Zelensky. Every time that Trump advances the ball and is getting ready to bring this thing to a completion, Zelensky seems to backtrack one way or another. So Trump at this point is putting Zelensky right on the spot to start the new year. He's got Putin on the line who says Putin wants to come to the table and offer energy to Ukraine at a low price. And Trump has gotten Zelensky right there at Mar A Lago over the last 24 hours, talking to him and making him talk about how the war will be ended, not how it can go on in perpetuity forever, but how we could bring this thing to an amicable close so we can have world peace so treaties that have been in place for the last 20 years can be upheld and so how America can get back to doing what it needs to do, that is putting itself first and not giving billions of dollars to forever wars overseas. Here is President Trump talking about the status of the meeting again. Every time Biden had a meeting with Zelensky, he was acting like he was the inferior, like Zelensky was the boss. Those days are over. President Trump is in firm control. Here's a little look of what happened yesterday. Historic peace summit at Mar a Lago. Rohan. We'll see if it gets done, but it's very close. Certainly nobody would even have a chance of getting it to where it is right now. Nobody would have thought that was possible. So I just want to say we've done very well. We've had discussions on just about every subject, and that includes with President Putin before. And we went into great detail. And we likewise went into great detail today. And it was an honor to have you at Mar a Lago and have lunch. I hope you enjoyed the food. Your people enjoy the food. I can tell you that. You're big, strong people. You're general over there. It looks like central casting. You see the power dynamic shift. What a breath of fresh air that the American President is acting like the American president and not kowtowing to Volodymyr Zelensky, a puppet leader of his country who has benefited to the tune of billions of dollars. And it was actually funny because Zelensky at the beginning of this thing said that they had no money, they didn't have money to run national elections. I saw Zelinsky coming for the meeting on a private jet. He didn't have a private jet a couple of years ago. Where do you get the money for a private jet with Ukraine's national logo on it? They didn't have that. He used to have to beg for countries to foot the bill and send a plane for him to travel. Now he's got a jet. Billions of dollars have been laundered over the years and President Trump is putting a stop to it. So what does Zelensky have to say about this? The gravy trains over. Everyone knows that. Here is Zelensky. The question is, is he ready for peace? Here is him talking a little bit about that, Roland. And we had a really great discussion on all the topics and we appreciate the progress that was made by American and Ukrainian teams in these recent weeks. Special thanks to Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and thank you for their engagement and full commitment and also to our team and first of all, to Rustemo Mervyn, General Gnatov and to all them of our teams. And we discussed all the aspects of the peace framework, which includes and we have great achievements. 20 point peace plan, 90% agreed. And U.S. ukraine security guarantees 100% agreed. U.S. europe, Ukraine security guarantees almost agreed. Military dimension 100% agreed. Prosperity plan being finalized. And we also discussed the sequencing of the following actions and we agree that security guarantees is a key milestone in achieving lasting peace. And our teams will continue working on. So that's a little bit of Zelensky they're talking. And again, he has talked out of both sides, out of his mouth over the years. And it seems like every time it's close, he does something to prolong it. And Trump is losing his patience on it. The press are asking questions. They're asking very simple questions that if you want to negotiate an end to a war, you need to present a compromise. That's how conflicts end. Always right. For the history of time, there was a compromise. One side gets one thing, the other side gets the other thing. If they're not talking like that, they're not talking in good faith. President Trump has always talked about the need for compromise here, and the compromise is very much predicated on the Donbass region, which is a territory between Russia and Ukraine that has been in dispute for a very long time. A lot of the people that are actually natively speak Russian. They go to the Russian Orthodox Church. And the question is, is that territory going to get divided or is Zelensky going to put his feet in the sand and say, nothing, I want everything, or nothing? It's not exactly how this works. President Trump has said as much. Let's listen how that question was broached and how it was answered during that historic press conference. Roll it. We spoke about 20 points planned. And I'm happy that really our team's very close to results. And I agree with President Trump that they, our teams work not one day and not one, not one week, more than one month, beginning from Genevieve, then two meetings in Miami, then we had Berlin, and now we have Mar a Lago. So this is very difficult question. You know our position. So it's. I mean, this. We have to respect our law and our people, and we respect the territory which we control. And, of course, that our end attitude is very clear. That's why President Trump said, this is a very tough question. And of course, we have with Russians different positions on it. So the question on everybody's mind is, will 2026 bring an end to this war? Finally, here to react and give us his insight, former Congressman and Executive Director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. Thank you very much for joining us, sir. Merry Christmas. What is your take on what transpired yesterday between Zelensky and Trump? Do you think things are different? Do you think this is finally going to come to an end here as the New year begins? What do you make of the dialogue between the two world leaders, sir. Well, Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you. Thanks for having me on. And I think that when you go back and remember the meltdown that Zelensky had with President Trump, I think earlier this year, there's been, without a doubt, a big change. And I think that's due to the president's engagement and involvement. But I think that what one of the most important things that you see happening is that someone in President Zelensky understand that President Trump is trying to do the best that he possibly can for the preservation of Ukraine. But at the bottom line, I think we all must come to understand is that Vladimir Putin is someone that can't truly be trusted. And I get very concerned about concessions of territory if they don't have any type of security arrangements on the backside of that, because that can even embolden and encourage Putin to continue on. And remember that it was during Obama administration and during the Biden administration that these incursions were made. And so Vladimir Putin, just like Xi Jinping, are men of the mindset as dictators that they can potentially wait something out and see if they get another Democrat president who will come in and be weak. That's a great point. Now, do you see President Trump, when it comes to the final carve out of territory or concessions or guarantees? He's talked about a balancing scale. How do you, if you are predicting this, how would you see that shaking out? Obviously, you know, you can't trust Putin, as you say, but there needs to be some type of concession, right? Otherwise he won't stop because he's not exactly the most stable of people. So how do you see that falling out? What would you propose would be a good solution for this, and what's your prediction on the outcome where both sides could be happy in a potential arrangement? Sir? Well, I don't think Vladimir Putin will be happy until he gets what he said was his greatest disappointment of the 20th century, which was the collapse of the Soviet Union. He's a despot. He's a dictator. I think that without a doubt, what we should do is not allow Putin to have these delaying tactics. I'm sure that was a very nice phone call that President Trump had with him. But Vladimir Putin is concerned about the sanctions that are sitting on President Trump's desk. And I think that President Trump should operate from that moral high ground and go ahead and sign those sanctions into place and put Putin in that untenable position first and foremost. Look, we're going to continue to see China supporting North Korean troops to come into there. And I think that it, as Vlad Vladimir Zelensky offered up, this may be something that has to be left up to a referendum to the vote of the Ukrainian people and because they're the ones that have been bearing the brunt of this and the suffering, but Vladimir Putin continues to attack their civilian infrastructure and civilians peers. So I don't see any real warmness of heart. So I think that once again we have to operate from a position of strength when it comes to dealing with someone like Vladimir Putin. It's a good point. I want to roll in the control room, sat 8, President Trump talking about the peace deal. Guys, can we Skip over to Sat 8 and let's roll this here and I want to get your reaction on it. Sorry, let's roll that side. I saw a very interesting President Putin today. I mean, he, he wants to see it happen. He wants to see it. He told me very strongly. I believe him. Don't forget we went through the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax together. And he'd call me, I'd call him, I'd say, can you believe the stuff that they're making up? And it turned out we were right. They made it all up. And despite that, we didn't get into wars or we didn't get into problems, but we weren't able to trade very much or any of that, which was a shame because, you know, a lot of success could have been had by trading with Russia. They have great land, great minerals and other things and we have things that they want very badly. But the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, which was a terrible, made up fictional thing by crooked Hillary and by Adam Shifty Schiff and bad people, sick people, they made it up. It was all a made up hoax. But it kept us really from dealing with Russia, kept Russia dealing, you know, from dealing with us. So, but, but despite that, we got along. And I don't know. I think we're going to get there. I know, I know very well. I think we're going to get there. So before we go to break, about 30 seconds left, sir. What do you make of that? You think Trump is being too optimistic? You think Putin will feel the heat? Do you think that's possible? What do you make of President Trump's foreign policy stands obviously different than other world leaders when it comes to Russia. Your final thoughts on what you just heard there from the president? Well, remember when we had the Alaska summit and we had that shore strength with the airplanes flying over and things of that nature. And after that summit what did Vladimir Putin respond with? He went back to bombing Ukraine and civilian infrastructure. So I think that you're dealing with a person that only understands strength and might. And look, George Bush had the same, I would say, shortcoming in that he said he looked into Putin's eyes and he saw something different from what we really do see. Vladimir Putin is not a good actor, and I think that what you have to do is meet force with force. Not trying to say we want to promulgate a war, but we have to put him in an untenable position. It is insightful analysis, as always. Thank you very much, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. Merry Christmas and we're going to take a quick break, guys.

I am Mike Crispy filling in today for Steve Gruber. Hope you're all having an amazing Christmas season and you know you got the Christmas lights on outside, you got the tree up, you got the lights on and the inflatable reindeers in Santa Claus. A lot of people are talking about those electric bills which continue to go up because of Democrat policies state by state. The way in which these psychopaths have prioritized green initiatives and other crap bs. Things have led to increased energy prices due to a lack of efficiency and these standards that are just absolutely untenable for the everyday American to grasp. Let's go out to a once great state, California. Steve Hilton. He's running for governor of the state. California used to be an amazing place to live. Now they have brownouts. So now California resembles a third world country where you can't even pump normal levels of electricity every day. What the hell is going on? Let's take a listen to Steve Hilton. Your electric bill is more than double the national average. It's doubled in the last 10 years totally because of the Democrats insane climate crusade. And now the insanity has gone got to a level that you just can't believe. There's a ridiculous solar plant that has never really worked. It's never Made money. It's just had huge amounts of taxpayer subsidy thrown into it. It's called Ivanpah. The utility that used to buy the power says we just can't make this work anymore. They're going to take $1 billion of write down to try and get out of the contract. And it's not working whatsoever. I myself, I live in the state of New Jersey and my electric bill has gone up three times the amount since these Democrats put in these wind farms that they said we're gonna deliver sustainable electricity at lower costs. All it's done is kill the wildlife. Thank you very much, Democrats. That was happening until President Trump put an executive order to stop it. So what is happening here a little bit more broadly? Let's bring in our guest here, executive vice president at the National Taxpayers Union, Brandon Arnold. Merry Christmas, sir. Thank you very much for joining us. What do you make of this and what can people expect here in 2026 when it comes to their electricity bills, which are obviously running rampant out of control? People in blue states feel they have no hope. What do you make of the Trump administration's policies to right this wrong? Where do you see it headed, sir? Yeah, so we're in a bad condition right now when it comes to energy prices. While gas prices have fallen, I think everybody knows utility prices have certainly not. They've gone in the opposite direction, particularly in states in the Northeast. And I live in Maryland as well, in the mid Atlantic here, states like California. What do these states have in common? Well, many of them have implemented what's called a renewable portfolio standard, which is another way of saying a requirement that you get a portion of your electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar, things that may work in certain circumstances, but certainly don't work in all parts of the country and don't provide the reliability that things like natural gas typically do. So this has created higher prices in so many parts of the country, really across the board, but particularly in states in the Northeast and some on the west coast that have adopted very stringent renewable requirements that are only going to be going up in some cases, all the way up to 100% renewable requirements, which would make energy prices absolutely skyrocket. It's absolutely ridiculous. And it seems like a lot of these initiatives here, a lot of the money gets lost in the gray area. It's laundered. It's almost criminal, the way in which these people act. And there's no tangible benefit for anybody. Nobody can even point to the environment being saved. Obviously, President Trump and the Trump administration energy Secretary Doug Burglum. They're talking about this and the question is, what is gonna happen? Will the Trump administration do anything drastic to solve it? Let's take a look at Doug Burgum here on FOX News addressing this. President Trump's energy policies, which have been adopted and deployed by red states over the last decade, have low electric prices and states that if we're following, you know, the green dream, willing to pay a green premium, which President Trump appropriately calls the green new scam, which is that it was promised that you're going to have lower prices and it was going to be somehow, you know, better for the planet. Turns out it's worse for the planet, worse for the environment, and it drives up your electric prices. So the states that voted for Kamala Harris as a group have electric prices that are almost double what the prices are of states. That's really all about it really seems like a tough situation for all those people in states like ours. So what do you think they can do? We got about 30 seconds here, sir. What do you think these people in these states can do when it comes to talking to and working with their local politicians and officials to actually get changed? What should they be pushing for from their representatives to get this madness turned around, if even possible at all? What do you say to that? Yeah, I mean, I think there are a lot of good solutions out there. One is natural gas. I mean, natural gas doesn't produce nearly the amount of carbon that things like coal do. So if you want to move in that direction to improve the environment, that's a smart way of doing it. Much smarter than these heavy handed regulations. And then what Trump is doing at the federal level, permitting reform is just absolutely critical. Regardless of the type of energy that you're generating. If you have an upgraded grid, if you have better transmission lines and things like that, you're going to see more efficient electricity production, transmission and lower costs. And that should be a bipartisan issue regardless of how blue, purple or red the state you live in happens to be. So there's a couple solutions right there, but I think getting rid of these renewable portfolio standards would be absolutely game changer for so many people living in these blue states in particular. And the permitting reform, absolutely key. Well said, guys. Hold your local politicians to account on these topics. It is a total scam. Brandon Arnold, thank you very much for joining us, sir.

Fill it in for Steve Gruber today. It is the post Christmas pre New Year time and hope you all are having a great season here as we turn the page into 2026. And one of the most important things that I think people are going to be looking at is will the law and order situation tighten up across every single city in our land? Now, the Democrats have said that President Trump is only sending in the National Guard to blue cities in blue states and that it is somehow punitive. Saving lives and stopping crime is punitive. Ask the Democrats more about that. But President Trump recently announced that he's also going to deploy the National Guard in New Orleans for New Year's Eve amid security concerns. And what a concept. The concept of law and order and security is welcomed by the leadership in the state. Here is Governor Jeff Landry talking about that. Roland? Yes, I want to thank President Trump. He is fulfilling his commitment. Him and Secretary of War Hedsith are sending the National Guard back into Louisiana, into New Orleans. They will be there for New Year's Eve and they're going to be there for a deployment through February, which we desperately need. Look, we know how to make cities safe. And the National Guard complements cities that are having high crime problems. Look at what the president has done in Washington, D.C. when he wanted to send a National guard into Washington, D.C. louisiana was one of the first to raise his hand and say our troops will go there and help you. And the city is so much better. Quite interesting. Right here to talk about this, former JAG officer, US Federal prosecutor, and US Senate candidate from the great state of North Carolina. Don Brown joins us. Merry Christmas, sir. Thank you for being on the program. North Carolina's estate, it's gone a little bit blue, but it's reliably red. What do you think the people of North Carolina would think about the National Guard coming in to stop unruly crime areas? Don't you think it's just a common sense thing? We stop crime and if the local police departments don't want to do anything about it, we help. How do you see that and how do you see the topic of law and order shaking out in your Senate run. Is it a big part of what the voters are asking about as you're on the campaign trail? Thank you, Mike. A merry Christmas to you. Almost Happy New Year. And North Carolina is more red than blue. We've gone. We voted for Republican presidential candidates in 13 of the last 15 elections. The Democrats on the left want to think you were trending blue, are actually about to eclipse Democrats and voter registration. All right, in terms of National Guard assistance, this is something, first off, that is historically very, very common. President Eisenhower sent the National Guard in to integrate University of Arkansas. President Kennedy sent the Guard in the same for the University of Mississippi here in North Carolina. You may remember this horrible situation with this young girl, Irina, who was murdered in Charlotte on the light rail. I have called for President Trump to send the National Guard in to stabilize the Charlotte light rail. And the Charlotte Fraternal Order of Police have joined me in that call. I'm the only U.S. senate candidate to have done that. The people of North Carolina would welcome assistance. The Charlotte Police Department, the largest in the state, wants the National Guard to come in to help curb the murder rate. It is well within the president's authority. I've read this decision. It's premature, and I agree with Justice Thomas here. You know, you didn't give the president a full opportunity to make his case. And I think he's going to be able to move troops to New Orleans without a problem. Over Mardi Gras. Excuse me, Over New Years. Yes, over. Over New Year's. I want to ask you about Charlotte, a great city. I actually went to Elon University. So I am a North Carolina connected person in the sense of. So Charlotte used to be a beautiful city. Obviously, the arena thing, a lot of attention on that. Eyeballs. People are saying, how could this happen in a city like Charlotte? I've been there many times. Very nice. What's going on in a place like Charlotte? Used to be run, I think, not too long ago by a Republican, right? I believe so. What is going on with places like Charlotte and these big cities in trending red states like North Carolina? Is there hope for it? Or is it gonna take things like President Trump cracking down and threatening to send in the National Guard to get these people to. To do something? What do you make of cities in a red state like North Carolina? First off, went to great school. Elon's great love Burlington, Charlotte. You're correct. When I left active duty in the Navy and came to the Charlotte area, There was a 6 to 5 Republican majority on the Charlotte city council and on the Mecklenburg board of Commissioners. We had Republican mayor Sue Myrick, Richard Venrude, and then Pat McCrory was mayor for 12 years. And all of a sudden, the wheels came off the wagon and Democrats started winning elections. And once that happened, the emphasis on law enforcement and law and order began to follow the trail of foolish Democratic philosophical positions. Take the light rail, for example. McCrory, the Republican mayor, was in office when that was put into effect. And the idea was to give us a mass transit from the north to south parts of Charlotte. And there were Charlotte police officers on board. When the Democrats took over, they removed the police officers and put in private security for a while and then removed private security altogether. So the Charlotte light rail has become a cesspool of crime, and that's why that poor girl was murdered. And so, unfortunately, Charlotte has followed the pathway of some of these big blue Democrat cities. The more the Democrats take control, the more you have a cancerous infestation of crime. And that's just the way it is. The north county general assembly, in my opinion, is almost to the point they should come in and just take care of the Charlotte city government to restabilize the situation here. But Democrats are soft on crime and we see it unfortunately, and people get hurt and kill the cause of it. 100, 100%. What a shame. And what just devoid of common sense.

I am Mike Crispy filling in today for Steve Gruber on America's Voice Live. One of the most important things that President Trump ran on, won on and that he's working on is our education system. You notice how the left were obsessive about molding the minds of the young people in our country to get them to feel a certain type of way and that way was destabilized and demoralized. It was on purpose. It was not an accident by President Trump taking this back and bringing power back to the states. The question is, is this going to lead to a breakup of the monopoly of left wing educational cabal organized crime? That's literally what it is. Here is President Trump in his pre Christmas address talking about that and I think is a very important thing over the next couple of years, 20, 26 and beyond. Let's roll. That 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 to. You see there, President Trump is meaning business when he talks about it. And it's not just the way that they teach things in school curriculum. In my state of New Jersey, they teach sex ed in the second grade. It's disgusting. But how about the way in which these people do gender ideology? And they take these kids, they put the boys in the girls sports, the girls in the boys sports, they teach them these things in the second and third grade. It is disgusting, immoral and destabilizing and young people are rejecting it in spades. Many of you watch the coverage that we did of the Turning Point USA AmFest conference, Riley Gaines talking about it. And I think that more and more people in the younger generation are taking this message to heart and they're done with the woke destabilizing nonsense. Let's roll this. First and foremost, most obviously, Benny Johnson said it, it's that gender ideology is an evil lie from the pit of hell. It is a lie that is built on deception. It is built on discouragement. It is built on destruction. And who does that sound a lot like, by the way? It tells people it's a lie that tells people that they're correct to feel as if they're born wrong, that our creator made a mistake in creating them. What a horrible message. So the question is, how could we have anybody in society who is successful in contributing if we have more and more people feeling like they were born wrong? You see how they do that? It's almost intentional here to react on it. Campus reform reporter Emily Sturge. Emily, do you think that there's been a change over the last couple of months? You've seen President Trump, he's cracked down on schools. He's threatened to withhold federal funding. Is there a change yet? Has this reached campuses yet or is it still in progress? What have you seen and what's your forecast for it in the year ahead in such a critical time for our youth here as people are battling over what they should and shouldn't learn. And it seems like a common sense thing from one side to another. What do you say, Emily? I mean, absolutely, in 2025, President Trump was the bowl in the china shop that we needed to absolutely reform the higher education system, shatter the old norms, and most importantly, enforce federal law and protection. I mean, let's talk about where we came from. We had a Department of Education under the Biden Harris administration that didn't know what a woman was. We reported at the Leadership Institute's campus reform that just a year ago, more than 2/3 of colleges were still requiring DEI courses in order for students to graduate. Schools like the University of Michigan were hiring faculty with DEI ideological litmus tests. And then we had schools like Stanford that were still just a year ago, requiring students to submit essays saying how they would contribute to diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. Now we've got a new man in the Oval Office and every single higher education issue you look at, whether it's merit in our classrooms, campus antisemitism, men and women's sports. We have seen so many successes within just a year. I'm very optimistic for 2026. I want to ask you another question, Emily, about standardized testing and test scores. They say that America has fallen so far behind. We used to be one of the tops in the world in terms of education. That's sliding back. What do you think that the most important things the Trump administration should focus on in the next three years to turbocharge that standardized testing, get us back to where we were and stop the fall from behind that we seem to just continually lag on. What do you think of the two or three most important things? We got about 30 seconds. Two or three most important things that the administration should prioritize so we get back on track in our world standing. The administration has been clear that merit matters more than skin color. And at the beginning of this year, we saw elite universities like the University of Miami reinstate those standardized test scores, require sat, sat, sat, act, and the Classical learning test in college admissions. Just today we reported on campus reform, that the University of Alabama system will be the next system to bring back those standardized test scores. And I've been very excited to see the administration. One of the first things the president did in the within the higher education system is roll out this new executive action asking schools to report detailed data on race and sex in admissions to enforce civil rights law and make sure that universities are admitting students based on merit and not skin color. That's one of the most important things that this administration has done, done for students. I'm not even that old, and back in my day, we used to have to submit our SAT scores to the colleges who want to go to. You're talking about this, and I'm like, they don't do that anymore. What the hell is going on? No wonder we're losing and falling behind. Emily Sturge, thank you so much for coming on. Merry Christmas to you and your family. And I want to tell you guys about a sponsor that is making this possible for us here on RAV all this year and into next year. And those are our friends at Burch Gold. Guys, let me be blunt.

I am Mike Crispy filling in today for Steve Gruber. Guys health, your health, your traveling, your fly and roll over the place. And the question is what is going on with Americans and our health. It's been a long road since the days of COVID and now we have the flu, RSV and Covid the triple demic as Some people are calling it. And the question is, what is going on with these viruses this time of year? A lot of people are getting sick. A lot of people are on the move. I was on an airplane yesterday coming back from Florida. Everyone's wearing a mask. I said, why is everybody wearing a mask on the airplane? Here to talk about that and so much more and how you can take control of your health. My friend, Dr. James Thorpe. Doctor, thank you so much for coming on. Chief of maternal and parental health at the Wellness Company. You talk to us about why these three viruses are so rampant this time of year and what is going on. It's a question that I was wondering yesterday when I was flying back. It's like 50% of the people are wearing the masks. Again, what's going on? Tell us about what is the phenomenon happening in December into January? Well, what's going on is there's a massive increase in infectious disease and turbo cancers because over five and a half billion people were given the horrible COVID 19 vaccine, over 13 billion shots. And this has caused a massive, what is termed vaccine associated acquired immune deficiency syndrome. That's one reason. So even the unvaccinated now are at risk because of shedding. So this is part of the phenomenon. You know, I point out the show to your audience. It's called the Pit. It's a docu series, kind of a series with seasons based on the Pittsburgh emergency room. It's a vignette. It's very accurate. It's a vignette of what's going on of the collapsed, horrible health care system in the United States of America. I would urge your viewers to watch it. You go to the emergency room, you have 12 hour wait. In some instances, people dying and having severe complications in the ER emergency room. So, you know, our mission is to keep people healthy and keep people out of the emergency room. And there's a lot of strategies for doing that. Well, I mean, it really is something that I've seen personally. Again, I've taken family members to the emergency room in the last couple of months and I see all these people in there and I, I go, there's really, really long wait times. And a lot of these people don't. And this is actually true. I'm not just saying this. They're not citizens. They're just in the weight room, in the emergency room, clogging it up. They ask if they have health insurance, they say no. And the people, again, I'm in the New York tri state area, they say it's okay. And they just wait in line and then you're suffering and you have to wait longer. People are getting sick, getting more sick as you say, because the vaccine actually had the opposite effect. Surprise, surprise. So we've been hearing a lot about all these problems out there and obviously the wellness company is out there and they are helping people. They have the new spray that you guys have, the new nasal and throat spray. So just tell us how people can utilize these tools, your products, to take control of their health and what it could do for them now and into the future so they don't have to rely on these unqualified doctors, overcrowded ERs, and both them of the pandemonium we see in today's medical system. What is this new product, sir? Absolutely, for certain what you're referring to are the immune defense, nasal and throat sprays. These are extremely important. Prophylactically they're not going to help after you get sick. But I use them twice a day, you know, whenever I go into crowds, a grocery store, go to church, an airplane, sporting event, whatever, I'll use them multiple times a day. That will prevent the nidus of infection from progressing down your lung. So very important. The other important aspects are to keep your immune system in, tuned and buffed up. And you know, vitamin D is God's orchestrator of the immune system. You want to keep your vitamin D levels up to 90 or 100, the upper limits of normal, not the lower limits of normal, 30 or 40. You want them up to 80 or 90. Buy a blood test. You can order your own vitamin D blood levels without a doctor. It's cheaper, so I would definitely follow that. The absorption is erratic, so you can't really tell by just dosing. The other thing that we recommend is the liposomal vitamin C and it's a high quality vitamin C, 2 grams daily. And of course the natural immunity twice daily. Between the vitamin D, the vitamin C and the immune enhancer, you will keep your immune system tuned. And then when you don't forget your throat sprays. And by the way, the emergency medical kit is extremely important for every family in the United States of America. You want to stay out of the emergency room, you can, you can order a cadre of our medical emergency kits with life saving prescription medications in them. I've used the emergency medical kit myself. Guys. The medical system is increasingly unreliable. You heard the doctor right there. You gotta go to TWC Health voice right now and do not forget to use the promo code voice for 10% off your order. All the amazing products you are seeing here today. I'm telling you, nobody's coming to save you. You gotta take control of your own health. So go do it, guys. We're gonna take a quick break and actually we're gonna throw out to President Trump, who is live with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Breaking news. Let's take that right now. And there's very little difference in what we're looking at and where we want to be, where we want to go. And so I just want to thank you for spending time. I know you're going to be over here for a couple of days, and maybe we'll be surprising us on New Year's Eve. That'll be fine. Thank you. And it's wonderful seeing you and Sarah and your whole group. Very talented group. We've done very good work together, and it'll continue. So thank you very much, Bibi. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. I have to say that. I have to say that in addition to what I said, that we've never had a friend, even close, a friend as President Trump in the White House. I think he's been extraordinary in his friendship and his support for Israel, his principled positions, his willingness to just cut through and get to the essence of things. And I don't say that as a compliment. I just mean it. People have heard me say that behind your back, Mr. President, many times. But I want to say something else. I think we have a partnership, if I can quote you second to none. I think it's allowed us to do enormous things. You know, people said there was a different conception at one time, which means that America can advance its interest in the Middle east if it opens a lot of daylight between it and Israel. And President Trump has done the exact opposite. He's achieved remarkable things, things in the Middle east, because we work together, we talk about our ideas. Sometimes we have different ideas, but we work it out. And most of the time we see eye to eye. But it's been a remarkable experience, and this was a very, very productive meeting and may I say, a very good lunch. Thank you. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you very much, Peter. And thank you for your support. It's been from the heart. Thank you. You know, as I said outside, he's been a wartime prime minister, and we were. I guess I could say I was a wartime president in more places than just Israel, if you think about it. But Israel was a big factor. And we're with you, and we'll continue to be with you. And a lot of good things are happening in the Middle East. We have peace in the Middle east, and we're going to try and keep it that way. I think we will be very successful in keeping it that way. And you've been a great friend, and I've been a great friend to you and to Israel, and it's been my honor. And the award that I was given was really surprising and very much appreciated. Well, President Trump has broken so many conventions to the surprise of people, and then they figure out, oh, well, maybe, you know, he was right after all. So we decided to break a convention, too, or create a new one. And that is to award the Israel Prize, which In almost our 80 years, we've never awarded it to a non Israeli. And we're going to award it this year to President Trump. This was announced formally over lunch by our Minister of Education, who's responsible for the Israel Project going to be awarded to President Donald J. Trump for his tremendous contributions to Israel and the Jewish people. I think there's, it's such a fitting thing, and it would Honor us, obviously, Mr. President, if you could visit Israel in that occasion on our Independence Day. But I have to say that this reflects the overwhelming sentiment of Israelis across the spectrum. They appreciate what you've done to help Israel and to help our common battle against the terrorists and those who would destroy our civilization. So, again, that's an expression of thanks and appreciation. Thank you, Bibi, very much. That really is a great honor. Any questions, please? We'll go pretty quickly because pretty much we agree on most of the things, and you would know what most of those things are. Please go ahead. Thank you. Mr. President, I'd like to know if you and the prime minister talked about having Israel pull back its troops before Hamas fully disarms. I know that's been an issue. Did you push for that today? Well, we talked about Hamas and we talked about disarmament, and they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm, and we'll see how that works out. Out. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side. But if they don't disarm, as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, and then they'll be held to pay for them, and we don't want that. We're not looking for that. But they have to disarm within a fairly short period of time. Isn't Israel withdrawing its forces? Well, that's a separate subject. We'll talk about that. Mr. President? Yes? Did you have a message for the Prime Minister about the West Bank. And are you at all concerned that settler violence, Israeli settler violence, could be undermining the peace plan that you're making? Well, we have had a discussion, big discussion, for a long time on the west bank. And I wouldn't say we agree on the West Bank 100%, but we will come to a conclusion on the West Bank. If I could ask, what is the disagreement? Well, I don't want to do that. It will be announced at an appropriate time. But he will do the right thing. I know that. I know him very well. He will do the right thing. Yes. There is a growing fear of a confrontation between Israel and Turkey. How you are going to ease this tension, given the fact that Erdogan, President Erdogan, calls Mr. Netanyahu Hitler and compares Israel to the Nazis? Well, I know President Erdogan very well, and as you all know, he's a very good friend of mine, and I believe that. And I do respect him, and Bibi respects him. And they're not going to have a problem. They're not going to have a problem. I know him very well, and you've seen me do things with President Erdogan and Turkey that nobody else could have done. We're not going to have a problem. He's. He's done a fantastic job. I'm with him all the way. I'm with Bibi all the way. Nothing's going to happen. Yes. Mr. President, are you concerned that Israel is not moving quickly enough to phase two of the peace plan? Well, I'm not concerned about anything that Israel is doing. I'm concerned about what other people are doing or maybe aren't doing. But I'm not concerned. They've lived up to the plan. They're strong, they're solid. And sometimes they don't understand when somebody violates something that you want to give him a second chance. We'll give him a couple of second chances. But no, Israel's lived up to the plan 100%. Don't forget, we made the plan possible by taking out Iran. And speaking of Iran, I hope they're not trying to build up again, because if they are, we're going to have no choice but very quickly to eradicate that build up. So I hope Iran is not trying to build up, as I've been reading, that they're building up weapons and other things. And if they are, they're not. They're not using the sites that we obliterated, but they're using possibly different sites. We know exactly where they're going, what they're doing and I hope they're not doing it because we don't want to waste the fuel on a B2. It's a 37 hour trip both ways. I don't want to waste a lot of fuel. Okay. After your last remarks regarding the pardon's request of Prime Minister Netanyahu Heritaro office told us that you have not talked after the official request of Prime Minister Netanyahu Perdun. Can you clarify to us? Did you talk to him? Which request are you talking about? With President Hertzog? The Israeli President Herzog. Did you talk with him directly? Erdogan Ertov Hennett so the Israeli President you're talking about Pardon? Yeah. Oh well, you got to say that. No, I think he's going to be in great shape. He's a wartime prime minister at the highest level. He's achieved tremendous success. And I'll say it, you know, if you had eight out of 10 prime ministers in his position right now or before right now, maybe you wouldn't have Israel any longer. Israel would not exist. I'd say two, two of them would and eight of them wouldn't. Those are not good odds. You needed a very special man to really carry through and really help Israel through this horrible jam. You know, these are major. Did you know Microsoft has officially ended Support for Windows 10 upgrade to Windows 11 with an LG Gram laptop voted PC Mac Reader's Choice top laptop brand for 2025.

Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Mike Crispi (filling in for Steve Gruber)
Date: December 29, 2025
This episode of America’s Voice Live, guest-hosted by Mike Crispi, focuses on critical issues at the close of 2025: U.S. foreign policy (with special attention to Trump-brokered peace efforts in Ukraine and the Middle East), the impact of green energy policies on American cost-of-living, law and order in American cities, the state of education, public health trends, and major diplomatic developments between the U.S. and Israel. Throughout, the program maintains a combative, pro-Trump, America-first tone, questioning mainstream narratives and Democratic policy approaches.
(00:09–12:31)
Mike Crispi details Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to broker peace in several global regions, with a spotlight on the Russia-Ukraine war. Crispi contrasts Trump’s strategies with those of Joe Biden, arguing that Trump’s approach is pragmatic, strong, and focused on American interests, while Biden’s is labeled as childishly hostile and corrupt.
(09:35–14:55)
Quote:
“Vladimir Putin is someone that can’t truly be trusted… and I get very concerned about concessions of territory if they don’t have any type of security arrangements.” (10:30)
(15:00–20:55)
The show transitions to discuss the impact of Democrat-driven green energy policies on rising electric bills across the country, with California highlighted as a case study for failed renewable initiatives.
(21:00–27:50)
