Live. Breaking news right now here on Real America's Voice Filtered these people are domestic terrorists and unapologetic. We're here to take a stand for God and country. Let's feel good. America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Greer. It is Wednesday, 31st January. It's the last day of the year. Happy New Year, my friends. As always, thank you for spending part of your day with me here even as we wrap up the year. We have a great show lined up for you today. So tuck yourself in and get comfortable because it's going to be a big day. The Trump administration has been the focal point of various lawsuits this past year. Not surprising is seems that like the detractors against the administration seem steadfast in trying to throw every legal proceeding in the book to somehow discredit the president, slow down his policies, undermine the administration. Our first example comes from former special counsel Jack Smith and his Arctic Frost investigation accusing President Trump of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in his favor. From the start, the investigation seemed fishy and lost even more credibility when President Trump willfully conceded the election of Joe Biden. And of course, we can't forget that this former task force was responsible for the raid at Mar A Lago. And of course, there's the ongoing legal battle from various Democrat states suing the Trump administration for its use of the National Guard to stop crime. Arguments in these instances boil down to Trump somehow abusing presidential power. While this administration has received its fair share of legal summons, there are also instances where. Where they fight back, such as President Trump's lawsuit and the sum of $10 billion against the BBC for yet another deceptive and disparaging depiction of him in a panorama documentary produced by the broadcasting giant out of the UK Joining me to discuss this legal expert and host of the what's Right show, Sam Rojowski. Sam, nice to see you again. I want to start with Mar A Lago. We now know that according to the FBI and its internal people and its Washington field office, they didn't have probable cause. It's all coming out now. The memos are there, the emails are there. There was no probable cause to raid Mar A Lago in the middle of 2022, but it was pushed solely by the Biden administration. And in fact, I can't use these words on the program. There were some potty words used from those who said they were challenged. About what? About the optics. We don't give a. About the optics were the responses. Sam, your thoughts? They didn't have probable cause, Sam. They did it anyway for political. Well, they thought they're gonna execute their political opponent, figuratively speaking. What a miserable failure.
- [06:21]
Sam Rojowski
I mean, this is maybe the biggest story of the year because we now know dispositively that people inside the Department of Justice were saying the literal, exact opposite of. Of what Merrick Garland was saying publicly at the time, which is that Trump was being treated no different than any other criminal defendant. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. He was being singled out for who he was and the political threat that he presented to Biden and the Democrats.
- [06:55]
Steve Gruber
Yeah. So when they have no probable cause, they do it anyway. Jack smith filed, what, 37 charges? Whatever. He dropped those, of course, this fool's errand pursuit after Trump won the 2024 election. But Jack Smith, he's being subpoenaed now. Boy, have the tables been turned, Sam.
- [07:16]
Sam Rojowski
Well, yes, and this is where the hunters become the hunted. This is what we wanted to see. But, you know, I always felt instinctively that this, this, this entire charade against Trump was a. Was a joke. But now it's, you know, you've. You've got it on paper. So, you know, I don't want to get too far ahead of myself and think in the coming year, we're going to see people go to jail or lose their law licenses. But if it were a fair and equitable world, lawyers cannot. Doesn't matter how high profile or low profile of a case it is. They cannot do unconstitutional things. They cannot prosecute illegal search warrants if they do so for motives, you know, that are, that are, that are personal or professional or, you know, money related, whatever it is, you know, they face, they face discipline by the state bar. They, you know, face a loss of a law license and they certainly can even, even do jail time. So to me, you know, there, there needs to be some kind of accountability here. It's all, you know, these people are all, you know, basically D.C. people. So I, you know, I don't place a high hope that they'll be held accountable in the swamp, but they ought to be.
- [08:31]
Steve Gruber
Oh, Sam, it's a new year almost. Shouldn't we just be optimistic? And it's. Yeah, never mind. All right, let's talk about the next thing here. The attack on drug boats. There's been many now, about 100 fatalities to date. Democrats seem to care a lot more about the drug runners and the drug dealers than they do about the mob. And dads, sisters and brothers burying loved ones today, somewhere in America because they overdosed on fentanyl. It's happening as we speak somewhere. And somewhere today there are people alive that won't be by the stroke of midnight. They won't see the new year because they're going to overdose on fentanyl before we get there. Now, the drug boats, these attacks, by the way, for anybody who doesn't know and has missed the show for the last couple of weeks, because I keep reminding people, the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement act was authored and CO sponsored in 1986 by a Congressman by the name of Chuck Schumer. This New York congressman, Chuck Schumer, wrote the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement act, which allowed the United States military to destroy drug running boats and the folks on board. It was part of the NDAA of that year. And in fact, in the 1980s and 1990s, because of Chuck Schumer's legislation, which by the way, passed almost unanimously, blowing up drug boats in the 80s and 90s was really common. And now apparently it's a war crime. It's unauthorized by Congress. It's a problem, you know, Donald Trump should be impeached for it. Again. It's right here on my desk, Sam. Chuck schumer's work from 1986. He's the one that authorized this. Your thoughts?
- [10:07]
Sam Rojowski
Well, the new standard for the Democrats is as if Trump is doing it, then they're gonna do the exact opposite, no matter what. You know, there are not just this bill There are hours upon hours of impassioned argument on the floor of the House and Senate by prominent Democrats, including Joe Biden himself, arguing for the strictest measures of intervention against drug runners. So all of a sudden, now it's not popular because, of course, you know, Trump is the one executing it, and they don't wanna see him have any successes. This story has been, and I think continues to be an effort to derail the administration. You know, I think that Hegseth and, and the, the entire War Department is, is exactly over the target. They're doing the right thing and they're doing something that the Democrats know is going to be popular. So they're trying to reframe it. But again, this is such a weak and feeble attempt and they're such hypocrites because they supported this a minute ago and now they're pretending like none of that ever existed. It boggles the mind.
- [11:18]
Steve Gruber
It does boggle the mind. Okay, let's talk about all of the lawfare targeted at the Trump administration. A lot of it is ended up in front of the Supreme Court when it comes to things like the National Guard being on the streets of D.C. or Los Angeles or elsewhere. It went as far as the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said, you know what, the President has the authorization to put the National Guard in. And by the way, anybody who's paid attention to D.C. their murder rate, if it goes on at this rate for a 12 month period, it would be the lowest murder rate for a year in more than four decades. Carjackings are down 75%. Sexual assault's down 35%. Again, I look at the Democrats, they side with drug runners over American families burying loved ones. They side with the criminals that are running the streets of America's major cities, over the people that have to live there in that chaos in those war zones. I mean, are they on the wrong side of this, Sam, or am I missing something?
- [12:18]
Sam Rojowski
Yeah, and I'd even point out in D.C. they spent so long cooking the books on the, on the violent crime statistics that the improvement is more dramatic than you even are pointing out here. So anyway, no doubt the unintended consequence of all the lawfare against Trump, when we look back on 2025, is gonna be a vastly expanded presidential power. Because I think when you look at a number of these cases, they're going, they've gone very well for Trump. And the Supreme Court has, if anything, has expanded the power of the presidency. And in the past year, and I think Trump is getting ready or is teeing the ball up to prepare for a tough three years ahead, depending on how the midterms go. So he's going to use his new presidential powers and he's going to use them aggressively. And by bringing it to the court in most cases, the Democrats have just basically emboldened the president further and given him more weapons at his disposal, legally speaking. So it's one of those things I think has backfired on them and will continue to backfire them on them for the next several years.
- [13:36]
Steve Gruber
Yeah. All right, so let's talk about it going into the new year, there are other lawsuits. Look, this is, this is what they've got, Sam. They can't stop him politically. They can't stop him from improving the economy and closing the border. And now they're trying to stop him from deporting illegal aliens. You see this all the time, attacking ICE officers and trying to create chaos. And then members of Congress go in there and bump chests with some of these law enforcement officers. They claim that they're somehow the victim when they get arrested. They're not, of course, but what do you foresee in 2026?
- [14:11]
Sam Rojowski
Well, I think, I worry economically, we're in for a tough road ahead. I think that we have not finished paying for the disasters of the Bide administration. So I think we're in for rough waters. And I think, thank goodness we have Trump, because some of the, we've made it. We've prepared for this. Now, Trump has massively deregulated our government. I mean, they have gone through and cut all sorts of red tape. They've slimmed down the size of the federal government. They have, you know, I believe in the long run, you know, tariffs. And what Trump has done with those tariffs is, is going to, is going to help repatriate jobs and, and boost manufacturing at home. There's all sorts of good indicators. I, I really do think, though, that next year is going to be rough. And I hope that we see, and I believe that we will, a recovery in time for the midterms so that people can, can see that, you know, Trump economics is, is really our, our hope here to, to recover from the last four years that have been absolutely a complete and total disaster.
- [15:21]
Steve Gruber
All right. And on the other side of that, on occasion, Donald Trump takes a big swing back using the legal system. For example, he's won some multimillion dollar cases from CBS News and others in the media for basically smearing him every step of the way. The latest being a lawsuit, $10 billion against the BBC for what he says was fraudulent editing. I'm not sure if that's exactly the word he used, but you get it. They twisted his whole conversation. The speech that he gave on January 6, prior to the riots at the Capitol, which you all admit was an ugly day, but Donald Trump didn't say that. He said, go, be peaceful. Go to the Capitol. But they, well, of course they omitted those portions. He's had a lot of success suing these big media companies. How do you gauge this one?
- [16:07]
Sam Rojowski
Well, this, this case, this was pretty egregious. I mean, they, they made him sound like he was whipping up the crowd into a frenzy, which, by the way, is how most people who are his critics remember that day. It just is at complete odds with, with, with the facts and with the reality of what his speech, you know, actually said. So the BBC has a, a large audience. The other part of it is that these laws actually are, are a little bit better for the plaintiff overseas and in the uk. So, you know, I give this, this, this will, I could see Trump being successful in this case, but regardless, it's the threat of this litigation that's going to keep a media somewhat on their toes. I mean, they're still going to try to pull fast ones and we saw that in the Vanity Fair piece with Susie Wiles a couple weeks ago. And, but, you know, but I mean, it's, Trump is fighting back. He's not taking any of this laying down. The media is vicious and vile and he has to do it.
- [17:11]
Steve Gruber
He has to do it. Sam Merajowski, I greatly appreciate all your contributions here in 2025. You've been a great addition to the program many, many times. I look forward to having you back in 2026. Happy New Year, my friend.

Steve Gruber
Well, with 2025 set to expire at the end of the day at the stroke of midnight, I thought we should take some time to reflect. Reflect on the success of President Trump in his first year of his second term, especially with his efforts and in conflicts around the world from brokering peace deals in the Middle east to pressuring adversaries like Iran to negotiate or else. Trump's approach emphasized American strength and strategic leverage. President Trump's policies have generally restored global respect for the US Avoided prolonged military engagements, and advanced stability in regions long plagued by tension and some by socialism. Joining me to discuss this, former congressman and executive director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, Lieutenant Colonel Alan West. Colonel, nice to see you.
- [21:23]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
Good to see you. Good to be with you. And a happy New Year to you.
- [21:27]
Steve Gruber
And a happy New Year to you. Yeah, I do want to talk about the peace deals and so forth, but what just popped in my mind was this advancement of liberty. And I look at Malayan Argentina, man, he's rocking it down there. That economy's turned around now. Chile has just voted to get rid of the socialists. So did Bulgaria in the last couple of weeks get rid of socialism? There is this movement in places like Italy, Argentina, and others to say, you know what? We tried that woke nonsense. We're seeing what Donald Trump is doing. We're seeing that he's putting America first. We want to put Bulgaria first and Chile first and Argentina first and Italy first. He's created this global movement towards freedom. I think.
- [22:06]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
No, you're absolutely right. And that's one of the key things about being as Ronald Reagan once talked about, that shining city that sits upon a hill. And that hill is a beacon of liberty and freedom and individual rights. And so when people start to see that once again re establishing itself in the United States of America, that light shines out upon them and it cast out that darkness of Marxism, socialism, Islamic extremism, and jihadism, all of these isms that really seek to undermine individual rights and liberty. And so, yes, we have seen an incredible turnaround, not just here for the United States of America, but across the entire globe, because we are reasserting ourselves as a leader of the free world.
- [22:49]
Steve Gruber
Yeah. And as you look at some of those peace deals, most recently Rawata and the Republic of the Congo, I was at the White House when they arrived, and they went behind closed doors, then came out to sign a deal. It was a remarkable accomplishment. They were like 30 or 40 years in war, and now none of these things are guaranteed. But hopefully that's an end of it. That's the end of it. And hopefully we can get a few other big wins. Ukraine and Russia still hanging out there. But look, it's progress in places that, look, most people couldn't even find on a map. But Donald Trump did, didn't he?
- [23:25]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
Yeah, you're absolutely right. And the thing is that he has done so without the expenditure of major United States military power, force or formations. You know, really. And truthfully, where he has leveraged the military has been very targeted strike operations. But without a doubt, you have seen an incredible foreign policy expenditure. You've seen an incredible foreign policy that has really brought about these things across the country. And it's been about engagement. I know there are so many people that talk about Donald Trump as an isolationist. I don't see it that way. I see him asserting American strength and power smartly and reestablishing that maximum of peace through strength, but not always having to come in and see everything as a nail. And you have to be your. The. Be the hammer.
- [24:13]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, Another place of strength. I think I've got this right. When I read this, I was a little surprised. It's remarkable. Border crossings are down 96%. Just, just a little bit. You know, we heard the Biden administration, oh, we need immigration reform. Oh, we can't do much about it. And we also saw them down there with bulldozers taking out razor wire put in by the state of Texas to open the border up completely. It was a policy, it wasn't an accident. But Donald Trump has brought it down 96%, protecting the American people. It's disrupted the flow of drugs. Now he's going after the narco terrorist boats in the Caribbean and elsewhere, disrupting the money to the cartels. This is all important for the long term safety of the people of this country, isn't it?
- [24:55]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
You're absolutely right. And it goes back to what President Trump said at the beginning of this year in his State of the Union address. It wasn't about we needed a new policy. We just needed a new president. And think about that very first year of Joe Biden coming in and what was some of the first things he did? He got rid of some 90 to 95 executive orders that opened up our border. And look what happened there. Look at the hundreds of thousands of Americans that died because of the fentanyl. And now we're going after these narco terrorists. We're seeing them as they are. And we're starting to put a dent in the billions of dollars that they were making off the United States of America through the human sex and drug trafficking. So, yes, it cannot be debated what Donald Trump has done on the front of our border security and also what he's seeking to do with our domestic security and protecting the American people.
- [25:44]
Steve Gruber
Why are Democrats and progressives so much more concerned about the guys that are driving These drug boats or manning these drug boats getting killed, when they don't seem to care as much about the moms and dads burying their kids all across America in small towns and big cities everywhere because they've died from this scourge of this poison of fentanyl and other illegal drugs, it seems that their priorities might be just a little bit out of whack.
- [26:07]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
No, you're absolutely right. And I think that's really the message going into 2026. What are the priorities of the progressive socialists, the Marxists, the leftists, the Democrat Party? The Democrat Party does not care about the American people. They don't care that you have criminal, illegal immigrants that are terrorizing the American people. They don't care about Islamic jihadists. They don't care about narco terrorists. All they care about is them having control and power. And what they see is that Donald Trump and the Republicans, because we're coming up on a midterm election cycle, are standing in the way of them having power, having control, having totalitarian domination. That's why they're very comfortable in going out and pleading the cases of narco criminal terrorists, saying that they're just fishermen, or they're very adapt and astute and going out and aligning themselves with Islamic jihadists like Hamas.
- [26:54]
Steve Gruber
The only way we maintain that momentum, the deficit is down $600 billion, the border is sealed, the economy is coming back, gas is cheaper, energy is cheap. But the only way you maintain that momentum is to hang on to the House and Senate. Midterms will be critically important. I'll give you the last word.
- [27:14]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
No, you're absolutely right. And all we need to do is remember in President Trump's first term, when he lost that midterm election. Well, with the last two years about impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, we don't need to go back down that path. And I think the American people will be able to clearly see a delineation, the difference between having Republicans up there on Capitol Hill carrying out Donald Trump's American first policies, instead of allowing people like Zoran Mamdani or Brandon Johnson or Gavin Newsom and that ilk to be in control of the United States of America.
- [27:45]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, I am bullish on 2026, Colonel. I hope you are, too. Happy New Year, my friend.
- [27:50]
Lieutenant Colonel Alan West
Happy New Year. God bless. God be with you, State.
- [27:53]
Steve Gruber
God bless you, my friend. Good man, that Colonel. All right, we're gonna take a break here. Don't go anywhere. This is the New Year's Eve edition of America's voice Live. Glad to be here with you. We'll be back in just a moment.

Well, 2025 has brought us many developments in the world of politics, for sure, but surprisingly, some stories of note also come around the world of sports, one of the most recent being the bizarre case and the fall from grace of Sharon Moore, now the former head coach for the University of Michigan University Wolverines and their football team. He was fired from his post after an investigation found that he was in an inappropriate relationship with his executive assistant, and after his termination, he went to her house to guilt and threaten the staff member, saying he would commit suicide. There's also the story involving Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a season ending ACL tear, apparently so severe from it that his future hangs in the balance. In addition to that, we turn to the world of baseball and Shoi otani of the LA Dodgers won AP's top male athlete of the year, making this the fourth time in a row. And just to bring it back to politics in some manner, we wanted to touch on the Olympics of next year and how President Trump is working hard to ensure America hosts the best incidents of this event. Maybe it's 28, I guess. Joining me to discuss it all, RAV correspondent and avid sports fan Britt McHenry. Britt, nice to see you today.
- [32:39]
Britt McHenry
See you. Always fun to be on the show.
- [32:41]
Steve Gruber
Now we've seen people fall from grace, but Sharon Moore, he didn't just fall, he exploded like a supernova. It was a bizarre series of events, if it's to be believed. He was sending, we'll call it sexting messages during the halftime of the Michigan Ohio State game, the biggest game of the year for Michigan Ohio State fans every year. And then we see him shackled, talking to the court from a jail cell. I mean, just tell me we've seen some falls from grace, Britt, but this?
- [33:10]
Sam Rojowski
Wow.
- [33:12]
Britt McHenry
Yeah, you Know, I always tend to have some sympathy in this digital landscape we live in now. Right. You don't have to be on television like we are right now. Anyone with their phone and a camera built into it can really create a viral moment and the pylon can be excessive. However, in this case, I do not think possibly it's enough. And I put shame Gruber on the university. The athletic director was told there was there were rumors circulating about this affair that Sharon Moore was having with this 31. She may be 32 year old now, insubordinate, working for him in the program. Yeah, whatever. Her age is old enough to also know that this, this isn't a great situation for her to be in. But she is still working at the university. But there were rumors, they heard of it. They asked the two of them, they said no. When it really got violent and unhinged is when she then ended it. And two days later, he did all of the things you mentioned, going to her place with butter knives and scissors. And what really stood out to me is there were other women he was following on Instagram and social media platforms. Not that that means you're doing anything obsessively. Obsessively. But one of these onlyfan girls came out and said that he DMed her after he got out of jail. So if you had any sympathy. And I found it very interesting that Shannon Sharpe, who also had to settle a sexual assault case of his own, was saying how much he felt for him. People aren't there for you in the pressure cooker. Well, most people aren't going to commit a crime. Okay. Like this could have been a serious safety issue. And what's sad is the self sabotage. You mentioned that leading into this. You're 39 years old. He's 39. And he was the 21st.
- [34:57]
Steve Gruber
He'll never work again.
- [34:58]
Britt McHenry
He was the first African American coach. No, he'll never work again and he should not work again. This is a case where your behavior, you have three kids at home and a wife. It's just egregious. And I blame the University of Michigan for this.
- [35:11]
Steve Gruber
Yeah. And I'm a Michigan fan and I feel the same way you do. I want to grab a couple other headlines from the year, though. There are some class acts out there. Patrick Mahomes has generally been one of them. But boy, he suffered a heartbreaking injury, didn't he?
- [35:27]
Britt McHenry
He did. And listen, how odd this is. Okay, Both he and Tom Brady, who he's frequently compared to, won three Super Bowls and they both tore Their ACL in their ninth season without either team making the playoffs. That's kind of a crazy coincidence, if you will. And I freaky. And I think we need to look at. Is the season too long with them adding the extra game? You know, the commissioner wants to expand internationally and continue to do so as he has been because there's been a record amount of injuries this year. You know, he rolled his leg, it landed funny when he was rolling out of the pocket. But, yeah, that's a devastating loss. But knowing Patrick Mahomes, he'll be ready for the start of the next season. I have no doubt about that.
- [36:10]
Steve Gruber
We'll see what happens. You know, Philip Rivers can play when he's 44, so Tom Brady knows. Speaking of Tom Brady, we're going to end on this. What a revelation he has been in the broadcast booth. Honestly, Tom Brady has been terrific because who knows the game better when he's calling play by player a color commentary. I should say, man, he just fills in the gaps really well for me.
- [36:31]
Britt McHenry
He does. And I found it interesting. He was asked if he would go back like Phillip Rivers to be quarterback. He's a little bit older. He's closer to 50. And he said the only reason he wouldn't is because he has now a minority stake in the Raiders. If he didn't, he said I would suit up just like Philip Rivers. So I love this throwback, right? They're the greatest of all time for a reason. So, yeah, he's been incredible as an announcer as well.
- [36:55]

Steve Gruber
Well, since we've pretty much reached the end of 2025, I thought it was a good idea to revisit an interview from earlier in the year. Agriculture is the backbone of America. It puts food on Americans tables and that's why it's so important that we ensure that American agriculture is protected. Earlier this year, two Nationalists were caught smuggling a fungus into the US that could have devastated American crops. They were, of course, from China. I brought on Congressman Mark Harris from North Carolina. He serves on the Agriculture Committee. Take a look at what he had to say about China and farmland. America, obviously, North Carolina, an agricultural state as well. A lot of rural farmland where you represent the whole country. I don't care if it's Michigan, North Carolina, Iowa, Illinois. How important do you think this is, the USDA to ban China from buying farmland here in America?
- [41:34]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, Steve, I think it's critically important and I want to applaud Secretary Rollins for taking the lead on this and bringing that out. There were a number of things that came out of that meeting yesterday when the cabinet was gathered and Secretary Rollins shared even then. And she held up that map, if any of you happen to see that, and it just showed the places that the Chinese government owns. And we did some digging and found out in my own district, probably five of the nine counties that I represent in the 8th district of North Carolina have land that is owned by the Chinese government through these hog farms and things that they have purchased really play a major part in this. And there, of course we have Fort Bragg, which is always and has always been such a centerpiece in North Carolina. And again, we just got a real problem of them having land around these military bases that should be concerning to every American.
- [42:33]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, there's a whole list of things that I find concerning. I heard the farmer there, Mark Benjamin, talk about ag terrorism. What it would mean devastating American crops. It would not just hurt America, but places that have food insecurity. Sub Saharan Africa, because we supply tremendous amount of grain to that part of the world and other parts as well. You've got that antibiotics. We don't even make antibiotics in America anymore. China makes them all our Rx, our prescriptions linked right to China. At the NIH today, the National Institutes of Health there are 1,000 Chinese citizens who are employed as scientists at the NIH, I think we have been terribly reckless, leaving the door open, sir, to people that don't care what happens to America. They care only about what happens to China and building up the ccp. There seems to be a lot more work to be done. What would you say?
- [43:20]
Congressman Mark Harris
Oh, I agree with you 100%. You know, I not only serve on Agriculture Committee, but I also serve on Education and workforce. And one of the things that we noticed early in my first term here was that China had a significant amount of money wrapped up in the contracts with our institutions of higher education. And so we actually entered a bill that there would be no contracts with foreign adversaries. And it got wrapped into a larger bill that was called the Deterrent act, which we did pass in the U.S. house. Already it's sitting over there in the U.S. senate. And I'm hopeful that now that we've got the one big beautiful bill done, that Senator Thune is going to be able to take action on that. And let's get it to the President's desk. But listen, we've got to be very much aware, I mean, 400,000 acres, I believe it is, that China owns of our farmland here in the United States. And we cannot be too careful. And again, grateful for this administration, grateful for the President's commitment and Secretary Rollins in this particular case, stepping up and calling it out. And there's a number of things going on in Congress right now. Several bills that have been introduced that we're looking at, some from just like this would call for an all out ban on it completely. Others know that there's a bill floated that would say that we would take the same position that countries take with us. China certainly doesn't allow us to own their farmland and why in the world should we allow them own 400,000 acres?
- [44:51]
Steve Gruber
So, yeah, I would take it a step further and say we shouldn't allow any foreigners to own land in the United States. I can't own land in Mexico, for example. I can lease it for 99 years. I can never own it. And that's the way many countries approach this sort of thing with real estate. Look, you've got the Russiagate cover up, the Biden decline cover up when he was in office, the Epstein cover up, which is more in the headlines, and the China cover up of money with the Biden administration as well. It makes me ask the question, as a lot of people do, how much money flowed into the Biden White House or into Hunter Biden's coffers because of their relationship with China and who is really paying the price. And we need to know more about that. Would you agree?
- [45:28]
Congressman Mark Harris
Oh, I do agree. And I think that the Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Congressman Comer is continuing to dig down on these issues. It's just like peeling back an onion, layer after layer. And I think that one thing seems to attach to the other. And I think all of these that you mentioned are certainly critical issues that have got to be investigated, got to be uncovered, and we're gonna see it happen, I think, in the weeks ahead.
- [45:56]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, there's no question we have countries on this earth that threaten us Russia, Iran, North Korea. But nobody is a bigger adversary than China, and they run an asymmetrical war against us every single day. Whether we realize we're in a war with China and the CCP or not, they believe they are with us. And that's a critical thing to keep in mind. Well, don't go anywhere when we come back on this New Year's Eve edition of America's Voice Live, more on agriculture and how it is so important as the backbone of America in just a moment.

Welcome back to this America's Voice Live special edition for New Year's Eve. Now, just moments ago in the last segment, I played an interview for you with Mark Harris discussing the importance of protecting American agriculture from everyone. Earlier this year I did a special right here on Real America's Voice with my good friend John Solomon of Just the News discussing this important topic. We took a deep dive to give you, the viewer, an inside look. Here's part of it. Chinese warfare in America is ubiquitous and unless we wake up and soon, they could win this war because they're fighting on battlefields we don't know exist or at least don't pay attention to. And one of the most disturbing is unfolding in the nation's hardlands. Bioterrorism. Bioterrorism. Bio Warfare. Yes, warfare. Warfare without firing a Shot. Mark Benjamin is a 6th generation farmer in Southern Michigan. His family began feeding the nation sometime around 1880 and his forefathers and mothers have been turning this ground ever since. They faced the Great Depression, floods, droughts and tornadoes as well. But Mark says the recent arrest of several Chinese students from the University of Michigan carrying fungus designed to attack corn, beans, wheat and rice is an all new threat and one that he takes quite seriously. From what you've read, from what you figured out, an enhanced fungus that maybe is fungicide resistant and that's what you're reading, what would it mean? What could it mean? Right now we can treat the diseases on wheat and corn with a fungicide, but the stuff that's third person snuck into the US is stuff that they can use to make the disease resistant to our fungicides. What would that mean? That would mean that easily wipe out half the crop. Half, Half, easy. If it's on wheat right now, every year we're dealing with it, even sometimes when it's treated for it, you'll still get docked if the wheat has too much vomitoxin in it. If you look around, you know, wheat, corn, beans, whatever field you look at, if the United States lost half of its crop because once it was here, the fungus spreads naturally, doesn't it? Just gets in the air and it goes. Yeah, it's airborne. And of course it could be spread, spread intentionally, anywhere. And when you get the right weather conditions, with the right amount of rain and the winds, it'll spread. If America lost half of its crop, what would that mean? If the fungus was to be enhanced so it's more potent and then also enhanced so we can't control the fungicides and we lose half a crop for a couple years. Then you're starting to talk about massive world starvation. That's right. Famine like America has never known. Because from the first days of Europeans settling this nation, there's always been farmland. And not just ordinary farmland, but the most productive land in the world. And for the last 150 years, America and the American farmers have fed the world. In fact, America currently exports about 25% of its grain production annually. The impact of an agricultural failure here would be felt around the world, especially in areas where food insecurity is already an issue, like Sub Saharan Africa. Backroads like this have been the backbone of America from the beginning of this country farms farmland, they've fed a nation. In fact, we fed the world. But now farmers here in places like this, they're worried. They're worried that their lifestyle is being taken away. Their farms are going bankrupt and they're now being targeted by China. And they're worried because they know how ruthless China can be, especially when it comes to things like bioterrorism.
- [53:33]
LG Gram Laptop Advertiser
If they're willing to sneak in fungus now, and they probably have snuck in fungus before, or any other pest or any other genetics, if we're catching them already, we can expect them to ramp it up. You know, especially as world tensions are escalating, they're going to use any method they can find to mess with us and give themselves an advantage over us.
- [53:56]
Steve Gruber
And if they starve us to death, they probably don't care, do they?
- [53:59]
LG Gram Laptop Advertiser
No, they don't care. And that's where we need to rely on our politicians and government to, you know, help prevent it.
- [54:07]
Steve Gruber
Alex Clark is another family farmer who's deeply concerned about what he sees on the news and reads in the headlines. And he's frustrated because to him, Washington is very slow to react to the clear and emerging threat of bioterror and using weapons as simple as enhanced fungus to take down the nation. Instead of banning China from owning American farmland, production facilities, and even seed companies, Washington remains silent, placated by lobbyists and a whole lot of Chinese money. That's not value. I mean, here you are, fourth generation family farm. Honestly, China shows up, they buy the seed company, they buy the meat packing company, they send their scientists here to steal intellectual property. When we make advancements at Michigan State or Texas A and M or Ohio State or wherever it is, they either buy their way in or sneak their way in.
- [54:55]
LG Gram Laptop Advertiser
It's upsetting because for like my brother and I, we're relatively small operation. We don't have any control over what China's doing. What? We don't have any control over what they're doing in Chicago or Toledo in terms of prices. So we're kind of at the mercy of our country and we're competing with these Chinese actors that are most likely manipulating them. We know they manipulate the markets with dipping into surpluses or changing their imports and exports. It affects us directly, every day, directly and indirectly every day.
- [55:33]
Steve Gruber
So what if, what if China took the next step to destroy American crops? What would that mean? Well, according to Mark Benjamin, the damage would be far worse than hunger and breadlines. He believes it could destroy the nation altogether. You take out the US economy, how farms fail, you have massive bank problems. If the US agriculture is hit with us, OK, farm farms fail. Average house in the USA, $58,000 of somebody's mortgage is just for the land the house is sitting on, you wipe out US Farms, land values crash to practically nothing. All of a sudden, overnight housing mortgages are upside down because the land it's sitting on that cost $58,000 is, is now worth one $2,000. And then that's a problem for all the banks. And we go back to the same housing crisis with mortgage crisis we had 10, 15 years ago. And then the US is spending all its money to try to keep that afloat and we're no longer able to invest in defense. So China brings in a fungus, creates an agricultural failure, creates a failure of farms, creates, creates a crash in the price of land, creates a bank panic, creates a default by the federal government. Is that about right? One domino after another? Yes. So are we at war? It's pretty clear we are. It's pretty clear that China has been targeting us on every level, from supply chains to the energy grid and now our food. Now after the break, we'll have a story that reminds us just how wonderful America is and still is. Plus, your answers to America's Voice questions of the day. Don't go anywhere. This is America's Voice Live. Happy New Year.

What makes America wonderful? We do it every day here with the hope of putting a smile on your face, especially heading into a new year, right? Today's story comes to us from Barron County, Kentucky where a STEM teacher secretly worked on a project to transform the life of one of his students. Students STEM teacher Scott Johnson spent nearly a year in researching, designing and perfecting a 3D printed prosthetic hand for one of his fourth grade students, Jackson Farmer. Jackson was born without a right hand and because of this he had to wear a general rubber prosthetic that matched his skin tone. The only problem being that the generic hand did not have any functionality in terms of grip or anything else. So, without telling Jackson, Mr. Johnson got to work on the new 3D printed prosthetic which he recounts involved building a custom design and Employing the help from other engineers to ultimately fine tune every detail, make sure that everything was perfect for the grand unveiling. After countless hours in between classes, the hand was revealed to Jackson and his parents. And the mechanics of the hand. See Jackson controlling the new prosthetic mechanically with his wrist movements, which now allow him to grip, gesture and point as well. Altruism can come in many ways, and today Scott Johnson's heartfelt gesture reminds us of what that makes America wonderful. A new hand that has got to put a smile on your face. Puts one on mine. All right, here's the question. Pretty simple as we head into the evening tonight, what is your New Year's resolution? LISA Lattea. To clean out my closets. Trish Hicks Break my New Year's resolutions early so I can enjoy the rest of the year stress free. Bob Burns, Help my kids and grandchildren financially, emotionally and spiritually.
