David Zier
Hey everybody, I'm David Zier. You're watching Breaking Point. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday. Merry Christmas with your family. It's not over yet. New Year's to come. I've got a fun show for you today. I got a little piano treat for you in a couple of minutes. Also, I covered the America first warehouse. They had a great lineup of Christian singers. Natasha Owens, who recorded Trump Won thing, got, you know, hundreds of millions of downloads. She is really terrific and I have a Q and A that she did with our own Vinnie Buda from Live from Studio. Studio at the warehouse was really terrific. And this guy named Al Kiver, he's here from Long island, originally from Seattle. What a brilliant, brilliant musician, guitar player. I've got some music from him. Also a little interview I did with him as well here. But I was on the ground last week in Washington, D.C. and it was really very exciting. It's so much going on here at Real America's Voice. And while our crew was out at Turning Point, I usually go to Turning Point, but I was on the ground in D.C. pentagon, White House, Capitol Hill. So much going on. And I pressed the Undersecretary for Personnel and Readiness, Anthony Tater a few weeks ago in the White House about the VAX and the reinstatement. And then last week, Sean Parnell, the press secretary, the chief Pentagon spokesman, came out with the statement that they were going to look at the files of like 8,700 troops, 3,000 of them that got dishonorable dischar and maybe reinstate them or give them back benefits and all that. So, you know, maybe we had something to do with the timing of their statement that they're showing they want to be transparent, especially with the new media, because we've been asking tough questions. And I have Todd Wood on from CDM Press on today to discuss it because he also pressed, you know, the Pentagon about the same issue. So I thought that was really neat. And I was at the White House last week and Trump had the NDAA signing The National Defense act, where he had a defense acquisition executive order earlier in the year. I think it was from February of earlier in the year. But it was codified by Congress because the House Armed Services Committee backed what Trump was supporting in the new defense budget. It's really important that it got codified because it's going to lead to the production of new equipment of speed and scale. And if you saw the other day Trump announcing new battleships, high technology types of defense and weapon systems getting out. And John Phelan, who's just extraordinary, who is the Secretary of the Navy under Donald Trump at the Pentagon, really just an incredible man. And what he's doing with shipbuilding os ship os with Palantir in partnership with private corporations and partnering with them sometimes 50, 50 so they can kick out products. You know, we used to make battleships every month or two and ships, you know, every month or two. But now we're going to speed up production because I think we've been on the decline for 20 to 30 years. The Chinese navy has 379 ships. We have under 300. Even though they still have diesel and they don't have nuclear carriers and stuff like that, they're still a threat. And they're shipbuilding, I think at least two and a half times the numbers that we're putting out. And they've got this incredible capacity. But then I went to Capitol Hill, right? And the key of what the Democrats are going to do in the 2026 midterms, they're probably going to foil everything the Republicans try to do this year because they think they can win in November and early voting starts nine or ten months away. Right. The GOP has a seven seat lead over the Dems right now in the House, I think with two vacancies. One of them was where Sylvester and Turner died in Texas. In Texas 18. Al Green was redistricted out of the nint district, running in the 18th in a special election. I think that might be in January. And then Mikey Sherrill, the new governor of New Jersey, who's a Democrat, left an open seat in the 18th district. So the Republicans can only lose like three seats. And if they lose more than that, it's over for them. And Trump's second term, the last two years of it, will be kind of moot because they're just going to be obstinate and launch all kinds of impeachment hearings and all kinds of stuff. It's critical the Republicans keep that seat. And Trump was on the ground last week I at the White House Friday night I filmed his departure. I got great footage of it today for you. But he was on his way to Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Now, he wasn't just there for Michael Watley, who's going to run for Senate, but he was also there because in the First District, and it could be Don Davis is a Democrat. And the maps that the Republicans passed in North Carolina were upheld by the courts. So the first district, whereas in 2024, the Republicans picked up another three seats in Congress. I believe I spent a lot of time on the campaign trail down there during the presidential election, especially the last eight or nine days in a row in North Carolina when Trump won. I knew Trump was gonna win. Had my ear to the ground there. There was no doubt about it. But they took back three seats. Well, now another seat from Don Davis that was redistricted might go Republican. I think Laurie Buck out. And Sandy Smith ran in a primary. Sandy Smith lost. Buck out, I think lost in the last election. I think she might be running again. But regardless, there's a possibility to take back another seat down there. So Trump's going to be going to these areas where these congressional seats are in contention because every single seat counts. Early voting, 10 months away. And like Mike Johnson said, a turning point last week, the GOP needs a united front, to paraphrase what he said. And the Dems are targeting new swing districts. In California's 48th district, Darrell Issa, who was going to go to Texas and run, but I think he's staying in Southern California, they're targeting Florida's 15th district, which covers the Tampa area. And North Carolina 3rd and 11th district, Greg Murphy and Chuck Edwards, I believe those seats could be vulnerable. They're probably going to stay Republican, but then this Texas 35th congressional district as well. So it's really important that the Republicans get their act together. Utah, the Democrats are going to pick up a seat. New Jersey, three seats may turn blue. Virginia, up to four seats may go Democrat. Indiana, the GOP lost the bid to put two Dem seats into play with the new maps getting vote down by the state legislator, legislature. I'm sorry, you know, and even Republicans joined in and denying that bid for a, you know, an off census year redistricting. So the Republicans won't probably pick up those two additional seats that they could have if the maps are upheld. And in Texas, the new map in Texas faces challenges. So even though they could win five seats in Texas, the gop, which went double digits for Trump within the Hispanic Latino community. But that could change because South Texas reps Henry Cuellar and Vincent Gonzalez. Gonzalez are still in competitive districts and the GOP not be, may be able, they might not be able to count on Hispanic voters. But the Dems are concerned with the Senate because they could take back the Senate if they win four seats, but they're not going to do it by running somebody like Jasmine Crockett. So I think they want to avoid that at all costs for the Senate race. They need to center themselves. And I covered on Capitol Hill last week and I played footage last week of this, the American Affordability act unveiled by the Democrats. And I pressed Massachusetts Congressman Richard Neal that, you know, isn't interest rate reductions the answer? Just like I pressed Kevin Hassett at the White House last week, the leading candidate for the new Fed Chair. Interest rates are everything. 4% interest rates are needed or less for first time buyers and middle class families to be able to buy homes in America. And it doesn't matter what subsidies you have. Like this American Affordability act that the Democrats were unveiling on Capitol Hill. It did have some good plans and the left is going to center themselves to try to keep control or take back control of the House. So that's their strategy. And you know, I asked Richard Neal about that and he didn't have a good answer for me. He just said, well, Trump can't like act by fiat. Basically he was saying, you know, he can't just do what he wants and lower interest rates. Well, yes he can when he has a new Fed Chair in place. And he should because the economy is going at 4%, inflation's at about 2 and a half, 2.7%. The core inflation's even less when you take out housing and other. And there's no reason why interest rates can't drop another full point, at least in the next six months. So that's my opinion. But the Dems have a better shot to take back the US Senate than the last election cycle. But they're still the underdog, according to Cook Political Report. But the aggregate of the last 13 or so polls from Real Clear Politics show that the Democrats take the House. They'll be plus four, which is very bad. And the Dems will make the issue of a struggling economy. So we know that Trump's economy is going to take off like a rocket ship. But when? Right, it's just starting. And is it in time for early voting in September? And the Dems want to do everything they can to foil that. But I got a super show for you today. I want to thank you so much for joining us. I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your families. I'm grateful for the audience here at Real America's Voice News. Don't go anywhere and we're gonna have some fun.

David Zier
Welcome back to Breaking Point. Before I get to these great Christian music artists that we got to see at the America first warehouse last week, MC'd by Vinnie Buda. Vinny's very talented and he sat down for a Q and A with the great Natasha Owens, who is the recording artist who recorded Trump Won back at the 2020s. Stolen election. Yeah, you guys, you don't like that, right? Stolen. I'm using the word stolen. They stole it, it's no doubt about it. But you know, the Affordability act, the American aff, will be the platform for the Democrats going forward here. And it's like the Inflation Reduction act during COVID with massive subsidies and tons of pork in it. But it does have some attractive centrist components like first time buyer incentives. And Nevada Congressman Steve Horvath from Nevada laid out a convincing plan on how to make Las Vegas, Nevada more affordable for service industry workers. You know, they came out in record numbers and early voted for Donald Trump because of no tax on tips and overtime. But housing costs have more than doubled in Nevada in just the last five or seven years. And it's been very hard for them because Californians, there's an exodus, they go into Vegas also. You can't find a house, you can't buy a house. But thanks to the no tax on tips, the first $25,000 you earn is going to be tax free. So a lot of culinary workers came out for Donald Trump. But it's really important to follow what the Democrats have up their sleeve because there's some middle class and first time buyer incentives in there. And this is going to be Trump's year if interest rates continue to lower. $19 trillion in investment in manufacturing back to the United States, the no tax on tips and no tax on Social Security, writing off interest on car leases for cars made in the United States between 2025 and 2028. But I think what's going, people will start to move up to bigger homes, freeing up some inventory and finally put their homes that they locked in at 2 and 3% years ago on the market in the coming year. People forget that a big part of the hurdle of home ownership is local, county and state property taxes, though. And in many areas taxes like in New York and California and parts of Florida, taxes are over 10k per year for a home. On average it's like 8,000 here in Nassau county on Long Island. And homeowners insurance is 4 or $5,000 a year. Now, it's very hard for people. So Your overhead is $1,500 a month when you wake up and you didn't even pay your mortgage yet. That's just for taxes and insurance. And then forget about your energy bills, which, you know, it's very hard. The GOP must address these concerns as Dems are gearing up for a huge class struggle and their message the Dems are going to put forth may resonate with the taxpayers and expensive purplish red districts around the country. That's what the Dems are banking on. And we cannot let them take back Congress because it'll be a disaster for Donald Trump, who's doing great things for the economy. But I've got this great Christian music recording artist at the America First Warehouse, Al Kiever. This guy's a gem. What a terrific guitarist, great vocals, great songwriter. He came from Seattle, moved to Long island here. And this event hosted by Vinnie Buera at the American first warehouse. And a shout out to Joe the Box for putting on a great event. So check it out. At the America First Warehouse, we got the incredible Albert Keever here. What a great night. You're a very talented musician. Tell us about yourself, Albert.
- [22:14]
Albert Keever
Thank you so much. Well, I grew up in Seattle from the Seattle area originally. I became a Christian when I was in high school. It's around the same time I started playing guitar. I've always loved music ever since I was a little kid. I started playing the trumpet when I was in fifth grade, guitar when I was 11 or 12, and then eventually went on to college to study songwriting, music production. And for the last 20 or so years I've been writing music.
- [22:38]
David Zier

Albert Keever

- [22:52]
Vinnie Buda
Really.
- [22:53]
Albert Keever
I started writing secular songs when I first began song writing. After I got saved. I wanted to take secular songs and put Christian lyrics to them. And then I realized I was starting to write my own lyrics. So why not just try writing my own songs? That's kind of how that developed.
- [23:06]
Public Investing Advertiser
It's really wonderful.
- [23:07]

We have a really interesting governor's race going here in New York for 2026 against Kathy Hochul. I just want to Know how they do a makeup job to hide the bolts in her neck. She's horrific. And, you know, Bruce Blakeman's got to win this race. At least. Stefanik dropped out. I was at the White House when she announced she wasn't running. And Trump put out a truth right after that, along with Carolyn Leavitt, I believe. And it was a surprise. But I was wondering why Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau county executive here on Long Island, I think he knew something was up because I spent a lot of time with him over the last several months, and he was going full steam, and he didn't back down about running for governor potentially. And the day before, he was buying ads in Florida and Palm beach, where a lot of New Yorkers are in the off season. So I think he knew something was going on here. He's a good friend of Donald Trump. Now he doesn't have the name recognition statewide or nationwide, like Elise Stefanik, and Elise had $12 million or something like that. And Kathy Hochul, Governor Hochul has like $18 million on hand. Blakeman's got a lot of work to do, and he's not as well known by Democrats upstate. The Republicans upstate, or conservative, are going to vote for him. But I don't know about Buffalo and Rochester and Albany and other areas. These lib areas outside of New York City, Orange and Rockland county do. But Blakeman is a terrific county executive. He's done so much. He has the safest county in the nation per capita for its size, and he does a really, really good job, and he's a great man. So I hope he can pull it off. Zelda normally lost by about 5, but I have a little treat for you here. I sat down on the piano. I'm not a professional, but I thought this would be fun for the holidays. And then we got Natasha Owens and Vinnie Buda from the America first warehouse. Watch this. Wishing everybody a very merry Christmas.

Well, I come from a musical family who had recorded in the past that I struggle with stage anxiety, tremendous stage anxiety. So I always wanted to be in the back. Always part of the choir, but just in the back.
- [38:07]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [38:07]
Natasha Owens
Always part of Praise Team, but never out flat. And my dad passed away in 2010. He was cleaning his guns at a table, a bullet came out, hit him in the heart, and he passed away instantly. And I didn't handle it very well. And I downspout rigs of aggression and I wouldn't be alive today. God had passed my path when he did with music. I was.
- [38:28]
Interviewer
Amen.
- [38:29]
Natasha Owens
Bachelor shape.
- [38:30]
Vinnie Buda
Amen.
- [38:30]
Interviewer
That is amazing. God bless you.
- [38:34]
Natasha Owens
So six months, Six month Prussian, I was asked to be a music minister in church and I said, kept saying no. And he called on a day and God gave him the words to tell me. And I was saying yes to a position that I was terrified for, wasn't qualified for. But it was a training ground for what he began to do in my life starting in 2013 when it contemporary Christian world.
- [38:55]
Vinnie Buda
Wow. And it started.
- [38:56]
Interviewer
Started with. With faith and Christian music.
- [38:58]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [38:58]
Interviewer
That's your foundation. You work with some amazing people in Nashville. I mean, we had Danny on the show. Danny, right.
- [39:06]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah, yeah.
- [39:07]
Interviewer
American Idol. American Idol and Michael W. Smith and some real iconic folks.
- [39:12]
Natasha Owens
Oh, yeah. I. I've toured with lots of brainwaters and knowing that I didn't deserve to be there, but God, God did it for me.
- [39:20]
Interviewer
And sometimes the journey is unexpected.
- [39:22]
Public Investing Advertiser
You wanted to be in the back, but you're in the front.
- [39:24]
Interviewer
I've seen your performances, I've seen your music videos. You're in the front. You are in the front for sure.
- [39:29]
Natasha Owens
But it was something I definitely didn't want and I fought it for a little while.
- [39:33]
Interviewer
So tell us. So let's. Let's fast forward now.
- [39:36]
Natasha Owens
The.
- [39:37]
Interviewer
The song you wrote about Trump's election, one of your bigger hits. I mean, how does that happen? How do you go from a faith in Christian music to patriotic faith? You know, that's country first, first fate first. You know, all those things.
- [39:50]
Natasha Owens
Well, as my trajectory started changing a little bit with my show, the album sand I beginning, I began to say that the Christians were not standing up, they weren't being vocal, they weren't standing up for double good principles. And so I was yelling about that stand for. For Christ. And in 2020, we did a patriotic album and put a pro life song on that album. And Nashville is very progressive. The industry history is very woke, very Liberal. And they didn't like that I did a patriotic album and they did not like I did a pro life song. And so I started getting boycotted from the yo. Fired off at events, which the same thing is happening right now to Danny Dokey.
- [40:29]
Vinnie Buda
Wow.
- [40:29]
Natasha Owens
Because he's been vocal about liking President Trump.
- [40:31]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah.
- [40:31]
Interviewer
Yeah.
- [40:32]
Natasha Owens
And my husband had said for three years, we need to do a Trump one and you know it song. And I said, nashville will kill me if I do that. Well, he said. He looked at me one day, he said, you really want to stand up for a genre of music that doesn't stand for life? And I said, you're right. So we do a stiff of dynamite. Trump 1 was born. And it's the first song that ever got me Death Threat. So I think I'm seeing a lot of good things.
- [40:59]
Interviewer
You know, you've made it in the music business.
- [41:02]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah.
- [41:02]
Interviewer
We can all relate to that. I know, David.
- [41:05]
LG Gram Laptop Advertiser
We can to relate.
- [41:05]
David Zier
Relate to that.
- [41:06]
Interviewer
It was real America's Voice because we've been cancelled. We've been, you know, boycotted. Advertisers, not advertising with us. You put that song out and not everybody wanted to play that.
- [41:17]
Natasha Owens
Oh, my God. You talk about tech suppression and discrimination. We had everything against us. But it spill hit so quickly and so fast that it got to a point where they couldn't take it down.
- [41:29]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [41:30]
Natasha Owens
And so I think all of you guys, guys for dads, all depatriots who listened to it, he shared it, he bought it, he loved it, and it just got too big for them. And I guess I got to a different platform. The media, because of that song, says I'm the next we would. So I'm walking his path, which is then kind of cool.
- [41:48]
Vinnie Buda
Those.
- [41:48]
Interviewer
Those are great footsteps to follow. Well done. Too big to read, right? Many we heard that phrase kind of like last year.
- [41:57]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [41:58]
Interviewer
So your song was too big to read. I think it had 100 million views or impressions or something.
- [42:04]
Natasha Owens
That was at the very beginning. It has. It has gone worldwide. I can't tell you. The tens of thousands of messages from people around the world say Trump is our own hope. The United States is our only hope. We're with you. And it really opened my eyes that this was a movement beyond America and beyond us.
- [42:20]
Interviewer
And I think that's what we're. Why we're probably all here and what we all kind of you and see. And that's why I do my show. That's why you're doing your songs is we. We have to rise above it. We have to break through, you know, the cancellation. So. Last question before you get up and perform. We're excited to hear your song, to hear everything, but you got to kind of meet the president. You got to do stuff with the inauguration, I believe, and then a Mar a Lago. I mean, tell us about that. Just maybe we can all get a glimpse of that connection through Europe.
- [42:50]
Vinnie Buda
Surprise.
- [42:51]
Natasha Owens
It's been crazy. So I did the first concert on Milan for President Trump at Mar Lago back in 2023, and he plays Trump 1 on Air Force One every day. I think that's the trobo.
- [43:04]
Interviewer
I love that. You gotta love our president, man.
- [43:07]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [43:07]
David Zier
He played his own song.
- [43:12]
Natasha Owens
So I'm operating again. Was crazy.
- [43:14]
David Zier
Is it you?
- [43:14]
Vinnie Buda
This?
- [43:15]
Natasha Owens
Oh, yes. Oh, my God.
- [43:16]
Interviewer
Gosh, yeah.
- [43:18]
Natasha Owens
Comes out all the time. Whether you want it.
- [43:20]
Interviewer
It's all legal.
- [43:23]
Natasha Owens
And so we got to present to him the award for the. Trump won just an honorary award that went on the Law at Monologo. And back in October, we. We had a second Trump song called the Chosen One.
- [43:34]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah.
- [43:34]
Natasha Owens
We gave Ken that award and got to go to the Oval Office to. To present it. So that was really.
- [43:40]
Interviewer
I saw the pictures and that is. You're probably going to be there many times, but that's a once in a lifetime moment.
- [43:46]
Natasha Owens
It was very surreal and overwhelming.
- [43:49]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah.
- [43:50]
Interviewer
It's one of the great things about President Trump in general. I mean, I remember a president embracing just people, you know, people and you know your music. But others, others doing things. Just regular people. Famous people. He agrees to.
- [44:03]
Natasha Owens
He does. He has a very servant's heart and he loves people.
- [44:06]
Vinnie Buda
Yeah.
- [44:07]
Natasha Owens
And it shows, shows. He doesn't show it a lot in the media because he's having his boxing gloves on.
- [44:12]
Interviewer
Yeah.
- [44:13]
Natasha Owens
But he has a very tender heart. Not easy, but when I say my pro life song at that concert, he cried.
- [44:19]
Vinnie Buda
Wow. Wow.
- [44:20]
Interviewer
That's amazing. Anything happening in the future here? What you have going on, Anything?
- [44:25]
Natasha Owens
The U. S. America Chief Hickey tour said that he wanted to celebrate all year. I thought like singings he means 50 states and 50 weeks. So that starts in January and we're hitting every state. And I was asked to sing, to write the America 250 anniversary song.
- [44:45]
Vinnie Buda
So. Yeah.
- [44:48]
David Zier
That is special.
- [44:49]
Interviewer
That's a great thing to close on. Thank you so much. To take a few minutes to talk first.
- [44:53]
Natasha Owens
There's no pressure on that.
- [44:54]
David Zier
No, no, no.
- [44:55]
Interviewer
It needs to be a number one fit.
- [44:57]
Vinnie Buda
Okay.
- [44:57]
Interviewer
We 200 million street Mao was like, Yeezy's getting ready to perform. They'll set the stage up for you. Thank you so much.
- [45:06]
David Zier
Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more breaking Point on Real America's Voice News.

Yeah, so you saw that. Sit down with Vinnie Buda from live from Studio 6B and Natasha Owens. She has an incredible voice. I want to share this song with you. She played about 10 songs for the audience at the America first warehouse and just a great event. It was so pretty over the holidays. Watch this.
- [48:56]
Natasha Owens
You need to ask what do I need to learn and who do I need to help but never why? So I thought it would be appropriate at this moment to sing one of my favorite praise and worship songs. And I know each and every one of you probably know it. So I want to see you sing in with me. Because God is so good, isn't he? All the time.
- [49:19]
Vinnie Buda
I love you lord for your mercy never fails me and all my days I've been held in your hands from the moment moment that I wake up until I lay my head oh, I will see of the goodness of God. And all my life you have been faithful. Life you have been so, so good with every breath that I have made oh, I will sing of the goodness of God I love your you have led me to to you in the darkest night you are close like no other I known you as a father I know you as a friend and I have lived in the goodness of God even yeah and all my life you have been able. With every breath that I can make oh, I will sing. I give you everything. Your goodness is running out to me your goodness is running out to me your goodness is running out it's running out to me. Been faithful and all my life you have been so, so good with every breath that I am made oh, I will sing of the goodness of God. All my life you have the.
- [53:50]
David Zier
Yeah. Natasha Owens is so very talented. Go online and find her. Stuff. Stuff. Really terrific. A beautiful voice and it was a great night. The American first warehouse, they've been doing a lot of stuff. You know, I brought you the Patriot art exhibit a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to be airing segments of that that I recorded last weekend with our nation's great artists like Scott Libado and Chelsea Carroll and David Bonegas and Nelson Medina and patriotic artists. It's nice that there's some culture in maga, regardless of what the left assumes, you know, oh, we're not at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you know, you can't. You can't have any culture, you know, I love the Met, by the way. It's one of my favorite places. I remember seeing the Tutankhamun exhibit in Manhattan. My mother used to take me to Manhattan when I was a kid with my brother and sister. Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's just such an extraordinary place. You got to go there if you're going to go to New York City. You can't miss that one. You can't miss that one. But there's so much going on out there, it's hard to keep up with the news cycle. And crime numbers in New York City for the year. Listen to this. Like, 73,000 people have been victims of felony or misdemeanor assault in New York City for 20, 25.
- [55:08]
Vinnie Buda
Right.
- [55:09]
David Zier
Years, not over yet. Okay. Rape is up 15% across the board in New York City. There were parts of Central park in November where crime was up 68% in a tax. We're up 68%, I think, for the month. New York City is not safe. Don't let anyone ever lie to you and tell you that. Mamdani. Mayor Mandani's not breaking up the homeless camps like he's supposed to be doing, because that goes a long way. You know, it's more about quality of life. You don't want to be in a subway car or walking down a subway set of stairs and somebody's going to the bathroom. And I don't mean number one, you know, or smoking crack on the car or going around stealing people's food right out of their hand on the subway car. Then needs to be some semblance of order. I'm not confident that it's going to get better on the Mamdani. So we got to follow that. But what is really great is that the vax issue is being addressed by the Pentagon. It was Trump's directive during the campaign when he took office to reinstate our troops. I was at Fort Bragg last year when he promised he would work on that. And now I got to press people in the Pentagon and under secretary, along with my friend El Todd Wood from CDM Press, we're going to have on week about are you going to reinstate the 8,700 service members who were dismissed for failing to comply with COVID 19 vax, you know, an experimental use drug? Right. And more than 3,000 have received less than honorable discharges from the military. So the Pentagon said that they are going to go in a statement released last week by Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman, that they are going to look at each individual file by December of this upcoming year and they're going to try to reinstate these people with benefits. I don't know if they get reinstated to active duty or not. I want to follow up with that when I'm back down at the Pentagon. But it's really great. I mean this is a very reactive administration and they are doing stuff, they are accomplishing stuff that's making America great, period. And if you just can't argue with it. So that's what's going on. But I was at the White House this past week. So many incredible things happened there. But I got to be with President Trump's departure on Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House. I got some fun footage for you. I want to thank you for watching Breaking Point, real America's Voice news and Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. We're designed to Florida first to work. We have a lot of meetings scheduled.

Interviewer
We're going to talk to the insurance.
- [57:56]
David Zier
Companies and see if we can let them lay way down and if we can't we can pay directly to the people they buy their own health care. But I think very important today with the favorite nation the drug price significantly down 400 side bundled 2.
- [58:38]
Vinnie Buda
It's.
- [60:01]

I want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas from the Rav family to yours. Thanks for watching Breaking Point. We'll see you next time.
