We're here to take a stand for God and country. Does feel good. America's VOICE LIVE starts now. Welcome to America's Voice LIVE. I'm Steve Gray. This Tuesday, the 23rd of December, in the year of our Lord 2025. Let's get to the day's top stories. As always, thank you for joining me here today on rav. We truly appreciate your patronage. President Trump ramping up pressure with a blockade targeting sanctioned oil tankers, warning Maduro to step aside as the US Continues seizing listed oil shipments from Venezuela tied to that regime. Meanwhile, Russia and China have pledged their support for Venezuela. More details on that as well today. Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly warned Australia's leadership of anti Semitism before the Bondi beach shooting massacre over. Those warnings apparently fell on deaf ears. You see what happened because of it. More on that coming up today later. Also later, Tyler Robinson's defense attorneys are apparently seeking an issue, a motion that would see the removal of the entire Utah county attorney general's office, alleging that some of the members of the board have family members that were present at the assassination of Charlie Kirk. All those details and updates coming your way. But first, we start with affordability. It's a remarkable day with the Christmas holiday and the new year right around the corner. Affordability is without a doubt on many Americans minds. President Trump has made great strides to fix the economy in his first year back in office, from issuing America first tariffs to tackling inflation and even working toward unleashing American energy, which has been a great success. Since returning to the White House in January, the President has signed a series of executive orders and legislation to scale back America's green energy efforts because they were failing. Now some conservative groups are declaring 2025 as the year of the cultural departure from climate activism and entering an era of energy production and economic realism in America. Join today to discuss this. First, the founder and CEO of Ascalon six Capital, Anthony Esposito, as well as the President of US Oil and Gas Association, Tim Stewart. Gentlemen, thank you for being here.
- [05:53]
D
Thank you.
- [05:54]
E
Great to be with you.
- [05:55]
A
Gentlemen. Let's start with the big number that just came out a short time ago. 4.3%, that is the GDP for the third quarter in the United States blowing away expectations better than 3.8% from the second quarter. And we're on pace, I'm told, to spend a trillion dollars at Christmas. Democrats want you to believe the economy is bad, Anthony, but it seems to me it looks pretty good. Let me start with you. What do you think about that GDP number? It's blown away all expectations. Yeah.
- [06:22]
D
There are two things that are really sticking out to me when you look at the number. The first one is the net exports number for the second quarter in a row is really adding to the upside to GDP. I haven't found 2/4 in a row like that where net exports are actually adding to GDP the way they are. That's the President Trump's credit and that comes directly from his tariff and his trade negotiations. The second point that I think is very important, and I've been talking about this for about a year and a half, two years now, is that government expenditures are actually falling off a cliff, which means GDP is not fake anymore as it was under Biden. It's not going to be tax funded. It's not funded by, by the taxpayer. It's not funded by debt. It's actual growth within the economy. So annualized government expenditures went from a pace of over 2% to the plus side under Biden to now an annual pace of, of about minus 2.7% a year under Trump. That's good. That leads towards private production, private GDP growth, not government taxpayer funded growth. That's where we want to be.
- [07:23]
A
And Anthony, let me follow up on that with this. The jobs numbers are not as good as some would suggest they should be, but that's because a lot of people in government aren't in government. Anymore. That's part of the jobs number issue is I want you to address that.
- [07:38]
D
It's the same story. Yes, I agree 100%. Those are the numbers. Government jobs are falling off a cliff. We're actually at a 12 month low as far as government jobs. And more importantly, possibly more importantly, native born Americans have gained 2.6 million jobs in the last year. They were a net negative in job growth over the entire Biden administration since COVID So you have native born Americans taking on jobs in the private sector. You have government jobs coming off and falling off, which again are funded by taxpayers in this country. This is exactly what we want. We want less government spending, we want less government support, we want less public everything. We want more private industry jobs growth. And that's what we're seeing.
- [08:22]
A
Absolutely. Now, Tim, let me bring you in because look, one of the big drivers of the economy in America has always been vast quantities of cheap energy. Wasn't cheap during the Biden years. They had all those green energy deals. Gas got to be $5 a gallon in many places, well over four for a lot of folks. Today it's under 250 for a majority of the country. Some places reporting gas under 2 doll gallon. And that also helped bring down the inflation number to 2.7%. Energy is a cornerstone of this administration. Chris Wright is doing, I believe, a solid job as a Secretary of energy. Energy is the lifeblood of America's economy, is it not?
- [08:57]
D
I mean, it separates us from first world and third world economies for sure. Absolutely. And just to echo what Anthony was saying, you know, the national average for gasoline is under $3 a barrel. It's shaping up to be the cheapest December at the pump since 2020. And that's real relief for travelers. It's relief for families. Because if you remember three years ago, we were talking about energy poverty for low and moderate income families. They're having to make some real tough choices. And so to President Trump's credit, what he has done over this past year for our industry is he's provided certainty again. You know, that was the whole problem is I wake up every morning for four years under the Biden administration and wondering what bad thing was going to happen to my industry, what bad idea the Biden administration was going to put out. I sleep well at night. And the fact of the matter is, I think consumers actually seen that certainty that was restored to the market almost a year ago.
- [09:49]
A
Well, I look at oil prices here. I pulled them right up in front of me. Real world price for west Texas intermediate 58 and a half dollars a barrel. That's a better price. It's been in a long time. And that's good for the American consumer. It drives down inflation. It makes other costs and goods and services less expensive. And maybe, Tim, that's why we're seeing a Christmas season. They're predicting $1 trillion in spending, an all time record. I mean, it helps, doesn't it?
- [10:14]
D
Absolutely. You know, when you're not spending $5 at the pump, when you're not having to make this tough choice between do I spend money so I can get back and forth to work or do I have a little bit extra cash to, to fill the stockings. That makes a big, big difference. And look, my industry, we're like farmers, we're never really happy. The price is either too high or too low. But there is a sweet spot, spot. And where you want to be is where people can afford to buy what it is that you're producing. And I think this past year we're in that comfortable spot right now. We're doing far more with less, you know, rigs are getting laid down a little bit more. But where our production is still at record highs. We're at 13 and a half million barrels a day. And we've contributed to sort of this global oversupply situation, which brings prices down. And so ultimately the consumer is the beneficiary of that.
- [10:58]
A
Well, clearly. And Tim, it's Christmas. You shouldn't be grumpy every day. We need to cheer you up a little bit around here. Too high, too low. But let me tell you the difference. I have a Suburban, my main vehicle, it takes 27 and a half gallons of pure pleasure. At $4 a gallon, that's $110. At two and a half dollars, that's $68. I mean, that money is real money that goes into the economy. In other places, Anthony, that's money that helps out the American family to buy more Christmas gifts, maybe to go out to dinner to do a variety of things that's fueling the economy. Maybe that's why we had a 4.3% GDP in the third quarter.
- [11:34]
D
Absolutely. I think, look, to echo Tim's point and to echo President Trump's point, his goal coming in, it was the first economic agenda item he spoke about it every time was lowering inflation, which started with lowering the cost of energy. And he's gotten us there. The production is up. There is no question about that. Now I think what we need to do, and this is part of President Trump's cleanup in Aisle seven is we need to get that transport and that refining capacity in the country, which again, to Tim's point, has dealt with such uncertainty under the Biden administration. We need that refining and that transport section of the energy complex to get back on track with that removed uncertainty so that we can actually get that crack spread to tighten and get the prices at the pump even lower, which will again get consumers more cash in their pocket, more money at the kitchen table, more ability to feel comfortable and to survive. This is what we want. This is part of the Trump agenda and it's a major part of it. Energy is key.
- [12:33]
A
And Tim, you probably saw this headline like the rest of us. The Trump administration this week canceled five major offshore wind projects. Right? They're gone. And I did some research on that. I found that one natural gas pipeline would replace all the energy created by all those wind turbines offshore, which are dangerous for marine wildlife, which are dangerous for air traffic controllers, which are an eyesore. One pipeline of natural gas, American natural gas, replaces all of those. Why did we ever go down that lane? It seems like a fool's errand to me.
- [13:05]
D
Well, that's a great question. And I say to my friends who work in renewable industry, welcome to our world. Because that's what we went through for five years for that four years under the Biden administration, that, that high level of uncertainty, uncertainty, fact of the matter is natural gas, it is in abundance. It is not weather dependent and it is almost everywhere. To Anthony's point, we need to build out the infrastructure to deliver it to everybody. It'd be nice if some of the governors in the, in the nation would get out of the way in New York and California, for example. But the fact is, is we can supply every, every ounce of energy need in this country for, for the foreseeable future, just with our natural gas capacity right now.
- [13:42]
A
All right, Anthony, let me ask you this because this is the real question. Others, a book written a number of years ago about Dow 36,000. The authors were made sport of, quite honestly, 36,000 on the Dow was in the rearview mirror a long time ago. What I'm asking is when is it going to be Dow 50,000 or 55,000 or 60,000 that helps out retirees, it helps out people that are investing, people that have Trump accounts, maybe that are young and have some money and have a stake in the markets. This is all good. 50,000. How long do you think?
- [14:13]
D
I'm not really sure. When we see 50,000 in the Dow, when we see 10,000 in the S P I'm truly not. What I want to see is I want to see true growth in earnings, not inflated growth in earnings. While I understand that the markets kind of discount inflation and they're. They're essentially an inflation hedge at this point, we are getting a little above our skis. The valuations are right. If you look at the. The Shiller pe, We're right at the tech bubble levels as far as valuations. I think we're going to end this year in a really strong fashion, which we clearly are. I think we're going to have a little bit of trouble getting through the. The reigniting of the U. S economy and moving through the risks that we have in front of us. So there's some time and some work to be done. I would love to see inflation come down and see real earnings growth more supportive and better market breadth, more industries making money versus very few lifting the entire index. So we're on our way. We'll get there. But we have a little bit of work to do and it won't be without the stumbling blocks and the speed bumps that we typically see within a full cycle.
- [15:21]
A
Tim, the hysteria that I saw from the left back on Independence day or whatever they called it there in April and the market kind of tanked for a bit. We had problems there. But the tariffs have not hurt America. In fact, $600 billion have been taken off our annual deficit. $600 billion. It opens the way for maybe $2,000 checks to certain American citizens as refunds from the government. We saw a $1,776 bonus for military personnel that are working today. What is your hope for 2026? We sit here on the cusp of 2026. It feels pretty good going in. I feel bullish on next year and I've been telling people for a while by the time we get to the 4th of July, this economy could really be humming. Give me your last thought on that.
- [16:06]
D
Yeah, we really hope so. And to be honest with you, this tariff situation for the oil and gas industry, we're probably the best example for the administration as what it takes to reshore a domestic industry. Twenty years ago we were talking about spending billion dollars, billions of dollars to import LNG. Now we're going to capture almost 30% of the global market with exports. We're probably the best example of how that actually can work. But it does take time. It's taken us time to resupply, to reshore our supply chains. But look, if we have this growth that Anthony is talking about and you're talking about, then that's great for our industry because more growth requires more energy and we're there to meet that demand. We're pretty bullish, to be honest with you, going into 2026. We're excited about what the possibilities are.
- [16:54]
A
All right, gentlemen, I have to leave it there. Good conversation. I'm bullish on 2026. I feel like you are as well. Thank you for being here today.

Welcome back to America's Voice Live. China and Russia lining up behind Venezuela as the Trump administration tightens the screws on socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro. President Trump ramping up the pressure with a blockade targeting sanctioned oil tankers, those ghost ships warning Maduro to step aside as the US Continues seizing illicit oil shipments tied to the regime that are not legal at this time. The impact is already being felt. Activity at Venezuela's ports is slowing millions of barrels of oil stuck offshore as tankers hesitate to risk leaving the country. Buyers demanding steep discounts highlighting the growing cost of doing business with a corrupt regime, especially one who's trafficking poison to the United States. Communist China also claiming the seizure of a China bound tanker violates international law. However, US Officials say the ship was part of the Venezuelan shadow fleet, illegally disguising its identity to move sanctioned oil. Another example Maduro allies helping him evade accountability. Join me to discuss this Military analyst of the Restoration of America Foundation, Will Tebow. Well, good to have you here.
- [21:45]
E
Thanks Steve.
- [21:47]
A
When you talk about seizing sanctioned oil, this is not illegal. It's not a war crime. It's a matter of doing business. And the business is stopping Venezuela from sending out cut rate oil to China, Russia, Iran and others who then fuel their economies at a discount and fuel terrorists, among other things. Will what Is your take on this confiscation of oil coming out of these ghost ships?
- [22:16]
E
Yeah, Steve, I don't think it's any coincidence that there's all this consternation and supposed gnashing of teeth over the United States actually enforcing a sanctions regime for once, and especially enforcing such a regime in our own backyard in the Western Hemisphere. You know, if anyone read the national security strategy that President Trump and his team published about three weeks ago, this should come as no surprise. We are not looking to merely tolerate the presence of hostile dictators who, you know, play host to Russia and China in our backyard. We, we are going to dominate the Western Hemisphere and secure American interests, especially in our territorial waters, which I think the Caribbean certainly constitutes. And this is what President Trump's foreign policy is. The Trump Doctrine, as far as I see it, is that we are going to say what we mean and enforce what we mean so that our actions speak louder than words, so that our words can mean something and we don't have to act so violently in the future. I don't think it's a license for forever war. I don't think it's a license for a massive boots on the ground invasion. But I do think this shows that President Trump is serious about showing that US Foreign policy is about more than press releases and financial transactions. It's about enforcing, you know, the way of the seas and the way of the economy with US Military hard power and economic power. And it's a welcome sight. And Maduro's gotten away with it for too long. And I think Russia and China will realize that it's a new day, especially in our own hemisphere.
- [24:00]
A
If you want to hit these people hard, you hit them where it hurts the most. That's the bottom line. That's the money. That's what we're doing with the oil. It's the same thing we're doing by taking out these drug running boats that are being taken out of the Caribbean. Another one was hit yesterday, if I'm reading this correctly, which means we continue to hit drug runners, we continue to stop shipments of illicit oil. Where does this oil end up, Will? Because I'm not clear on that. If you take 1.8 million barrels off a ship worth maybe as much as $100 million, where does it end up?
- [24:30]
E
Well, you know, typically I think you'll see it in refineries in Russia, in China, that fuel their own military industrial complex. You know, in many cases, it's possible that this goes to Chinese factories that are building the unmanned systems that they will potentially use in conflicts in the Pacific. This is particularly relevant for China. China depends on external oil. China depends on resources and energy from around the world. And so this. This oil means a lot to a country like China. And again, though, I think it's about more than these 1.8 million barrels of oil. It is about what it means when the United States puts the full force of government behind a policy action. Policy actions should mean something. And so, you know, perhaps this 1.8 million barrels of barrels of oil is just a drop in the hat, but the sign is that if there are resources and interests that exist in the Western hemisphere, then America is going to have a particular stake in those interests, not because we want to dominate people, but because we don't want to have to go halfway around the world for our own economic security, for the resources of others when those resources exist in our backyard. You know, Maduro has a choice going forward, as President Trump has made clear. He can cooperate. He can adhere to an order, a regional order that is still defined by American interests and American messaging that actually means something, or he can continue to flout such measures and I think risk a lot more serious consequences going to the future. But again, it is about the signal of a new era of US Foreign policy legitimacy that I think the entire world is noticing far and wide.
- [26:29]
A
Yeah, what I want to know is where the oil goes once it's seized, once we have our hands on that oil. Real quick, we've got about 30 seconds here. Does it come back to the United States? Do we refine it? Does it go into the strategic oil reserve? What happens?
- [26:41]
E
Yeah, I think we are. I imagine that we'll kind of hold it, whether it's at a port or at some other adjacent site close to a port of entry, just because we do care about the rule of law and the legitimacy of the process of ensuring that there's some due process for this sanctioned oil. But at the end of the day, I think President Trump's open to refining it, to put in the strategic oil reserve, to making sure that America can use it for our people and for our interests. So we'll make sure the process is followed and respected, but at the end of the day, we won't be afraid to put it to good use for us.

Well, the State Department has confirmed it's recalled dozens of ambassadors and move to prioritize continuity and realign the US Diplomatic posture to represent President Donald Trump and his America first agenda abroad. All those appointed were Biden administration appointees and survived the first round of dismissals. That changed in the last couple of days. The diplomats will be returning to D.C. maybe reassigned should the Trump administration choose to all ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president. Ambassadors were not removed from countries at war or in high stakes negotiations. Here to discuss our chief White House correspondent, Brian Glenn. Brian, nice to see you. Merry Christmas, first of all, Merry Christmas to you, Steve.
- [31:51]
E
Thank you.
- [31:53]
A
You know, so a member of Congress, I saw this headline. The headline I saw was 48ambassadors being recalled from Africa, Asia, different place. And I said, hey, this is the time that I can become an ambassador. He just laughed. He said, you really think you'd get through confirmation hearings? I'm like, really? That hurts me.
- [32:11]
B
Hey, if there was a country, Steve.
- [32:12]
E
Which one would you go to? Which country would you request?
- [32:16]
A
Number one dream job? New Zealand. Been there a lot. Love it. I do. I love Central America. But Fiji would do, if it was a pinch, I'd take Fiji, you know.
- [32:25]
D
Yeah.
- [32:26]
E
Yeah, that's a good choice.
- [32:29]
A
Of course they're screaming on the left, Brian, but this is normal. This happens in every administration. They pull back people that represent one president. There's a change in party, there's a change in the administration. This is completely normal, isn't it?
- [32:41]
E
Yeah, it is completely normal. And it's easy if you're on the left to view this as, you know, this is unjust. But these people, these individuals are offered a potential job within the administration or somewhere in a department. Now, whether or not they accept that job, that's on them. But this is absolutely normal. And like you said in the open the only exception to this, if there's any countries that are ongoing with a feud or a war or anything like that, they leave these individuals in place. But, you know, when you look at the America first agenda in terms of not only what does it mean domestically, but what does it mean with our, with our friends overseas in different countries, he wants to make sure that he has very Trump aligned policies and those individuals in place in those countries. So if people's feelings get hurt and they no longer want it in India or any one of these countries, China being one other, France, Germany, well, then they're going to come back home and we'll find you a different job. But, Steve, this is absolutely on par with what we've seen with administration prior to Trump.
- [33:52]
A
It certainly is. And it opens up opportunities for people that are America first, you know, and ambassadors, sure, they can come from different places. A lot of them are career civil servants. Others are friends or donors. You know, that's how, that's how the game. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, that's how.
- [34:07]
E
The game is played. And New York Times has an article, and I encourage our viewers to, you know, read it and decide for yourself. But there are a lot of people that have been assigned ambassadorships to these countries that were big donors of President Trump. And so not to say that buys you an ambassadorship, but if you have some type of, you know, you have a connection to those countries, maybe you can better serve those countries, then by all means, he wants to put the best people in place. And that's exactly what President Trump is doing right now.
- [34:40]
A
I'm sure I could be confirmed. I'm sure of it. All right, Brian, how do you know? How do you know when you've made it in this world? How do you know? Because I want to shift gears here for a moment because you recently got engaged to Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's been everywhere. We know that. Congratulations.
- [34:55]
E
Thank you.
- [34:56]
A
It's been hit by criticism from liberals and all sorts of other things, but this is how you know you've made it. When Saturday Night Live gives you a shout out, that's when you know you made it. Watch this. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she is engaged to Brian Glenn, a pro Trump pundit for real America's Voice. And I just want to see the size of the rock that that guy must be smoking. Hey, you know, it's pretty funny.
- [35:24]
E
Yeah, it is funny. You know, what's, what's interesting is, and thank you, by the way, I've seen a lot of reaction from hundreds of, you know, pretty much left leaning publications, you know, making fun of the engagement. What is he thinking? And, and you know, I look at it all and kind of laugh and I appreciate the fact that they think that something that's worthy of writing about or obviously with Saturday Night Live, putting it in the skit. I'm a big fan of the Weekend Update, by the way. I think it's incredibly funny. I have a sense of humor.
- [35:55]
A
Marjorie.
- [35:55]
E
We both watched that together and we both laughed. And so thank you, Saturday Night Live.
- [36:00]
A
That's great. Well, you know, part of the problem is people don't laugh enough anymore. You know, that was somebody like Rush Limbaugh. He could do serious headlines, but then he could be lighthearted and put a joke out there. I think we need more of that, not less in the world. What's your hope for 2026? Last question.
- [36:19]
E
You know, I want to make sure that I want this country to come together. To be honest with you, it's so divisive right now and left, right, Democrat, Republican. But I think we can all unite that we love this country. We may have different ways that we approach governing it, but we want what's best for this country. So, you know, my wish for 2026 is that, you know, people, people see their lives improve. They see the quality of life improved. They re established friendship of someone that they might have lost in 2014 or 2024. I should say with the, with, with political, with the President Trump taking office. But my hope is for everyone to live a happy life. Even if you end up on Saturday Night Live being the brunt of a joke.
- [37:03]
A
That's a, it's a good wish. I wish the best for you and Marjorie. I do. I hope, I appreciate it. Long and happy life. Merry Christmas and a happy new Year. There you go. All right, coming up after the break, I mean, you know you've made it when you're on Saturday Night Live, then you're a big deal. I will discuss the shooting at Bondi Beach, Australia, how this instance is contributes to more cases of antisemitism around the world. Details straight ahead.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Australia's leadership before the the Mandi beach shooting. And senior Israeli officials blamed the attack on Australia's recent recognition of a Palestinian state, calling the deaths a direct result of that declaration. Netanyahu accused Canberra of pouring fuel on the anti Semitic fire, equating the beach massacre to the October 7 terror attacks. In August, Netanyahu wrote to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, saying the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Anti Semitism is a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent. You must replace weakness with action. 15 people murdered, 13 critically wounded, including two policemen. Here to discuss the global rise of anti Semitism, the CEO and president of Coral Ridge Ministries, Pastor Rob Pacienza. Pastor, nice to see you here today. Look, the warnings are everywhere. They're in Australia, they're here in the United States, they're in Europe. I mean, sadly, when we hear about these things happening and we'll hear it again, we're not surprised, we're saddened, we're sickened. But not surprised are we.
- [42:01]
E
We're not surprised. And we should continue to be aware that not only are there warning signs, but we have leaders, leaders in government, leaders in our institutions of higher education that are actually promoting antisemitism. So we shouldn't, we should never be surprised when we are raising up generations of generations of people all throughout the world that have been groomed and indoctrinated to hate the Judeo Christian worldview, to hate anything that Christianity or Judaism stands for. So unfortunately, as tragic as this incident was in Australia, we certainly should not be surprised. This is the fatal fruit of what's been happening around the world in our institutions and with men and women of influence not only saying nothing, but doing everything possible to spread an anti Christian and anti Jewish propaganda and worldview that just goes against anything that stands for traditional values.
- [43:07]
A
And look, you don't have to look too far, Rob. I mean, after the October 7th attack, they celebrated in the streets in Australia, in places in the United States, specifically Michigan, in London, in Paris, they celebrated in the streets carrying Palestinian flags, demanding a global intifada. Ali Akbar, all of that. And so when you import people into your countries that do not recognize your heritage or your country, it's a recipe for disaster, isn't it?
- [43:40]
E
Absolutely. That's why I'm so grateful for what is currently happening in our nation with our current administration. The America first doctrine reminds people that there is a nation that has been built on values. There's a nation that's been built on a Judeo Christian worldview, a nation that has certainly been built on immigrants, but people that are coming here legally, going about it the right way. And when you have a nation that for so many years unfortunately has ignored immigration laws, has had open borders, has just allowed anyone in here, particularly people who hate America and what we have seen stood for for the last 250 years, we shouldn't be surprised when we have these protests, when we have people rioting in the streets, even in our own nation, in global cities like Paris and London. And now to see this latest tragedy. In Australia, the Muslim population is growing rapidly. And for far too long, we have not been awake to what is happening with the rise of militant Islam. It is a stronghold that is indoctrinating the next generation, and we better wake up to its threat.
- [44:53]
A
Rob, how important is it for people in positions like yours to stand in the pulpit and say, look, we need to stand against these hateful ideologies that come after us. We have to stand against those that try to tear down our country and say America is a terrible place or Australia is a terrible place, or the UK is a terrible place. How, how important, how incumbent is it on people like you to speak forcefully from the pulpit?
- [45:19]
E
It's absolutely critical. We have seen all throughout the Word of God the promises that are afforded to a nation that recognizes Yahweh, that recognizes the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Those nations are blessed. Those nations will flourish. When those nations go against the God of the Bible, when those nations push back against the traditional values that made this nation great 250 years ago, the nation suffers. Not just Christians suffer. The entire nation suffers. So it is incumbent on ministers of the gospel, religious leaders who believe in traditional values as they are defined in the word of God, to stand boldly in the pulpit and understand that the future of America is at stake. Future generations are at stake if we do not push back against these strongholds and these godless ideologies.
- [46:12]
A
Well, Pastor Rob, as we sit here just a day or two away from the birth of Christ, I wish you a Merry Christmas.
- [46:19]
E
Merry Christmas to you.
- [46:21]

Well, as you may recall, December 11th was the first in person and publicly accessible court appearance of Tyler Robinson. He's the man, of course, accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk back on September 10th. This appearance, of course, drew much attention given the nature of Charlie's popularity. And during the proceedings, Robinson's legal team made it a point to limit Robinson's visibility to media cameras, an argument that was upheld by the judge ruling on the case, Tony Graff. Now, the latest updates from the case have Tyler Robinson's attorney seeking to issue a motion that would see the entire Utah County General attorney general's office removed, alleging that some of the members on the board have family members or other connections that were present during the shooting, one that was apparently 85ft away when Charlie was killed. Further citing that neutrality could not be upheld due to the personal connection and conflict. Here with me to discuss is the host of the what's Right show, Sam Mirajowski. Sam, nice to see you. Merry Christmas. First of all, let's just get that in.
- [51:44]
B
Well, thank you, Steve. Thanks for having me.
- [51:47]
A
You know, we were talking in the break. Look, we were live on the air when that all happened back on the 10th of September. Horrible day, an emotional day. And the argument here from the defense team is that there was a member of one of the prosecutors families 85ft away when Charlie was murdered, and she was texting him in real time. But as you point out, everybody was texting in real time. I mean, everybody was talking to everybody, watching the videos, trying to figure out if he was alive or dead until we knew that he did not make it. So what do you make of this motion?
- [52:18]
B
Well, I think the motion's kind of nonsense, to be honest. And I'm looking at it as a lawyer, you know. Yeah. First of all, everybody that is anybody, and particularly if they were in Utah, were. Were aware of what was happening in real time, were getting text messages from family members, had somebody that they knew or, you know, or.
- [52:41]
D
Or a friend of a friend, a.
- [52:43]
B
Family member that was somehow related to this university.
- [52:47]
D
The bigger issue here is, however, that the prosecution team is not required to.
- [52:54]
B
Be neutral or dispassionate.
- [52:56]
D
The prosecution team is there to represent the state.
- [53:00]
B
The prosecution team has a. Is responsible for putting on a case, representing the victim and the victim's family. So to me, I think. I mean, I would be very surprised if, first of all, this is a very broad disqualification motion.
- [53:17]
D
They're asking for everybody in the entire.
- [53:20]
B
Utah county district attorney's office to be off the case. That's never going to happen. And even this particular person who's described as a senior supervisory attorney in the department, I don't necessarily know that this is enough to get him, you know.
- [53:37]
D
To get him removed off the case.
- [53:39]
B
It's, to me, kind of a non issue. We'll see.
- [53:43]
A
Sam. I mean, the judge in this case has been very particular about details, very particular about the way things are going to be run there. And when we talked about the cameras being in the courtroom and there was a shot where it showed Tyler Robinson with handcuffs on, and the judge was not pleased with that, made him reposition the cameras, change everything. So he's kind of a stickler for the details. That's why I wonder how this one's going to go.
- [54:09]
B
Well, the judge, like every judge who is reasonable, doesn't want to get overturned on appeal. So the judge will want to do.
- [54:17]
D
Everything absolutely by the book and correct.
- [54:20]
B
Now, that said, you know, removing an entire prosecutorial team, an entire department that would be, you know, that's responsible for putting this case on might be a bridge too far. We'll just have to see how it. How it shakes out.
- [54:35]
A
I guess we will. This is a death penalty case. You take all 12 jurors to get to the death penalty. And I'm still amazed that there are Podcasters out there that are so full of themselves, they think that they deserve every detail, every shred of evidence, everything that's in the entire investigative file. I'm like, guys, you're not entitled to anything just because you have a podcast. You're not entitled to have all the facts and have the files laid out for you so you can review them. I mean, it's one of the most obnoxious things I've seen from podcasters recently, and that's saying something. Look, it's a death penalty case. They have to have it all tight, very tight. And they're not just going to put out all this evidence on the Internet for the trolls to gobble up. Makes sense to me. What are your thoughts?
- [55:20]
B
Well, I'm glad you bring this up, because I think all of these conspiracy theorists, podcasters, many of whom are on my side of the aisle, are doing the prosecution a tremendous disservice. They are spreading absolute nonsense that could and very well may end up tainting this jury and giving the defense theories of liability on other parties. It's just an absolute clown show for clicks, for attention, for ratings, for whatever it is, for money.
- [55:56]
D
I mean, it is infuriating that we.
- [55:59]
B
People on our side are giving, you know, are giving ammunition to the defense here.
- [56:05]
D
This needs to.
- [56:06]
B
All of this just needs to stop.
- [56:09]
A
Yeah. As Erica Kirk put it, shut up. Just shut up and let the team, the FBI, state, local, federal authorities and officials, let them do their job and follow the evidence wherever it may lead. Wherever it may lead. Right now, it leads to Tyler Robinson. As close as I can figure, Occam's razor applies. For me, the simplest answer might be the right answer. You don't have to go looking into the shadows or behind every door. I think that we have the answer. It was not a well defended perimeter. The guy had a problem with some of the things that Charlie talked about. A big problem. And I think that's where we end up. Where do we go from here, Sam? When do we get a decision on this? I'll give you the last word.
- [56:53]
D
Well, I think it's January 16th is when they're gonna, you know, decide. The judge is gonna have a hearing.
- [56:58]
B
On this and decide on the removal motion. There's still going to be a ton of pretrial motions. One of the things that the defense is going to. Will try to do here is to delay this as much as possible. The longer that goes by, the better for the defense. And obviously, the prosecution wants to move this to trial tomorrow if they could. So so there's going to be tension.
- [57:20]
D
Between, you know, the people that want.
- [57:22]
B
To drag this on and people want to get it to the jury. But, you know, there's going to be a lot of pretrial back and forth before, before the trial itself gets underway.
- [57:33]
A
Yeah, it could be maybe the biggest trial of 2026. Samir Zofski, merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for being here.
- [57:41]
B
Merry Christmas, my friend.

There you have it. All right, let me flag something important as we move into winter. All right. Doctors have warned that this year's flu season was going to be a rough one. Now even mainstream media outlets like Fox reporting that a new, more virulent and severe flu strain is spreading fast here in the United States. The kicker, the already ineffective flu vaccine is even less effective against this new strain. What the media won't tell you is that Dr. Peter McCullough warned about this weeks, even months ago. He's been clear that this strain is more severe and is unlikely to respond to the flu vaccine. Which means personal preparation matters. And that's why I trust the Wellness Company's two step approach. Step one, prevention through immune defense. Nasal and throat sprays used daily to help support your body's first line of defense. Right where viruses enter. Step two, early treatment through the Contagion emergency kit. Physician prescribed antiviral options including a nebulizer, hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. So treatment can start early if you get sick and if you're not stuck in long lines or shelling out big money at urgent care during the holidays. This isn't fear, it's common sense. Get prepared now at TWC Health Voice. Use the promo code voice. You will save 10%. TWC Health voice to get ahead of this flu season with the Wellness Company's immune defense sprays and contagion emergency kit. Use the promo code voice and you will save 10%. After the break, we'll have a story that reminds us of just how wonderful America is. Plus, your answers to the America's Voice question of the day. What is the most, most important aspect of Christmas for you? We'll be right back.

What makes America wonderful? We do it every day to put a smile on your face before you go on with the rest of your day. Today's story comes to us from a restaurant named First Watch in Naples, Florida, where restaurant staff put aside their own needs in favor of one of their co workers. The co worker in question goes by Norman and is beloved by his fellow staff for his sense of humor and upbeat spirit, which surely made the shifts of the First Watch fly by. However, in between those moments of joy, Norman had a heart to heart and indicated to his fellow co workers that he and his wife Alicia were having trouble conceiving that they wanted to pursue adoption. That was finally coming true for the couple. After indicating this to them, the staff at the First Watch decide to allocate the funds gathered for their annual Christmas party and give it to Norman and Alicia as not only a Christmas present, but as a head start to welcome their new addition to the family. Putting someone else's needs above your own. It's the theme of today's story and the heartfelt gesture by the staff at First Watch. Just another example of what makes America wonderful beautiful. Real quickly, the question of the day. What is most important about Christmas? Scott King writes Family, Family, family. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Gruber. Thank you, Scott. Imogene Angel Thomas Spending the day with family and Christmas dinner. Pure happiness. And real quickly, I'll just tell you a quick personal story. Embrace your family this Christmas. It's the most important thing you can do. 20 years ago today, I lost my father in an accidental fall. Hard to believe it's been 20 years. Nobody could make me happier or more enraged in a total of three seconds than my dad. But I miss him greatly every day. So make sure you take care of your family because 20 years goes by just like that. Merry Christmas to you and your family and Happy New Year from all of us here at Real America's Voice. We'll see you soon.
