This is Saving America on Real America's Voice. Now here's your host, Brian Glenn. What a historic day here at the White House. Now, earlier, and we're still waiting for Benjamin Netanyahu and his team to leave departure of the West Wing. But President Trump laying out a 20 point plan to end the conflict in Gaza. Now, he didn't take any questions during this press conference and I think wisely so because you hate to open up any type of dialogue that might hinder the other parties from signing this document and getting it going. Here's some of the highlights.
- [01:27]
Donald Trump
So this is a big, big day, a beautiful day, Potentially one of the great days ever in civilization. Things that have been going on for hundreds of years and thousands of years. We're going to, at least we're at a minimum very, very close. And I think we're beyond very close. And I want to thank Bibi for really getting in there and doing her job. We've worked well together as we have with many other countries, both of us with many other countries, which is the only way this whole situation gets solved. And I'm not just talking about Gaza. Gaza is one thing, but we're talking about much beyond Gaza, the whole deal, everything getting solved. It's called peace in the Middle East. So today is a historic day for peace. And Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have just concluded an important meeting on many vital issues, including Iran, trade, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, and most importantly, we discussed how to end the war in Gaza. But it's just a part of the bigger picture, which is peace in the Middle east and let's call it eternal peace in the Middle east. If accepted by Hamas. This proposal calls for the release of all remaining hostages immediately, but in no case more than 72 hours. So the hostages are coming back and I hate even saying this from the standpoint, doesn't sound right, but it is so important to the parents. The bodies of the young men believe in almost all cases, the young men are coming back immediately. I met with parents. The parents felt as strongly about getting their. The body of their dead boy back as they did, as though the boy were alive and well. It's so important to him. And it means the immediate end to the war itself. Not to just Gaza. It's the war itself. Under the plan, Arab and Muslim countries have committed and in writing in many cases. But I actually would take their word for it. The people I mentioned, I take their word for it to demilitarize Gaza, and that's quickly decommission the military capabilities of Hamas and all other terror organizations. Do that immediately. And we're relying on the countries that I named and others to deal with Hamas. And I'm hearing that Hamas wants to get this done too, and that's a good thing. And destroy all terror infrastructure, including the tunnels, weapons of production facilities. They have a lot of production facilities that we're destroying. They'll also help train local police forces in the areas that we're discussing right now, in particular in and around Gaza. Working with the new transitional authority in Gaza. All parties will agree on a timeline for Israeli forces to withdraw in phases. They'll be withdrawing in phases. No more shooting. Hopefully. As progress is made toward achieving these goals, Arab and Muslim nations need to be allowed the chance to fulfill these commitments of dealing with Hamas. They have to deal with them because they were the one group that we have not dealt with. I haven't dealt with them, but the Arab countries are going to. And Muslim countries are going to be dealing with Hamas. And I believe they've already been there. I think they probably have an understanding, and they haven't maybe mentioned that, but I would imagine they do, otherwise they wouldn't have gone as far as they've gone. If they're unable to do so, then Israel would have the absolute right. And actually, our full backing us, full bank backing, Marcos here, and a lot of our leaders are here. Our great Vice president Susie Wiles, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner. They've been so involved in this, in this process, I don't think anybody else could have done it or even. Even come close. But it's. We're right there. We're right there. First time in thousands of years. I think you can probably say, if you really look into it, if you study back, if you, if you're a scholar, you would Say thousands of years, Israel would have my fall back into finish the job.
- [06:23]
Israeli Official / Government Representative
Mr. President, when our two countries stand shoulder to shoulder, we achieve the impossible. Just a few months ago, in Operation Rising lion and Operation Midnight Hammer, we struck a decisive blow against Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile program. Your bold decision to send those B2s made the region safer and the world safer. Now, under your leadership, we're taking the next step to win the war and expand the peace. Your plan is consistent with the five principles my government set for the end of the war and the day after Hamas. Everybody asks, what is your plan for the day after Hamas? Here's our plan. Pass that in the cabinet. All our hostages, both those who are alive and those who died, all of them, will return home immediately. Hamas will be disarmed. Gaza will be demilitarized. Israel will retain security responsibility, including a security perimeter, for the foreseeable future. And lastly, Gaza will have a peaceful civilian administration that is run neither by Hamas nor by the Palestinian Authority. If Hamas agrees to your plan, Mr. President, the first step will be a modest withdrawal, followed by the release of all our hostages within 72 hours. The next step will be the establishment of an international body charged with fully disarming Hamas and demilitarizing Gaza. I appreciate your willingness to lead the body, Mr. President. I really appreciate it, because you have a lot of things to do, and this is important, and it reflects the confidence that this will give everyone, that things will be followed up on, all the commitments made. The fact that you are taking this on, I think, helps a lot to make sure that everything flows in the direction that we want. Now, if this international body succeeds, we will have permanently ended the war. Israel will conduct further withdrawals linked to the extent of disarmament and demilitarization, but will remain in the security perimeter for the foreseeable future. I think we should understand that we're giving everybody a chance to have this done peacefully, something that will achieve all our war objectives without any further bloodshed. But if Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they supposedly accept it, and then then basically do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish the job by itself. This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way, but it will be done. We prefer the easy way, but it has to be done. All these goals must be achieved because we didn't fight this horrible fight, sacrificed the finest of our young men to have Hamas stay in Gaza and threaten us again and again and again with these horrific massacres. Mr. President, I was encouraged by your Clear statement at the UN against the recognition of a Palestinian state. That would be an outcome that after October 7th would reward terrorism, undermine security, and endanger Israel's very existence. As for the Palestinian Authority, I appreciate your firm position that the PA could have no role whatsoever in Gaza without undergoing a radical and genuine transformation. In your 2020 peace plan, which you mentioned just now, you made clear what that transformation requires. It's not lip service. It's not checking a box. It's a fundamental, genuine and enduring transformation. And that means ending pay to slay, changing the poisonous textbooks that teach hatred to Jews to Palestinian children, stopping incitement in the media, ending lawfare against Israel at the icc, the icj, recognizing the Jewish state, and many, many other reforms. It won't come as a surprise to you that the vast majority of Israelis have no faith that the PA Leopard will change its spots. But rather than wait for this miraculous transformation, your plan provides a practical and realistic path forward for Gaza in the coming years, in which Gaza will be administered neither by Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, but by those committed to a genuine peace with Israel.

Donald Trump
Thank you very much. Thank you.

Brian Glenn
Now we're waiting for the Prime Minister to leave. As you can see, massive media presence outside the West Wing, the stakeout area. And so they're gonna make their way and. And we'll just see what moves on from here. Oh, you can hear it. You can hear them.
- [12:16]
Donald Trump
Let's see.
- [12:18]
Brian Glenn
Make sure we're not blocking anything. As you can hear the questions, the reporters shouting some questions from the side, that's when you know that he stepped out because we can't see him, obviously, loading up. Is also a press vehicle, a van behind there as well, that is a part of his entourage here at the White House. Now, this is, you know, President Trump spoke for about 35, 40 minutes before the prime minister had an opportunity to speak as well. So the overall was about an hour of the actual press conference, but we'll see what happens. And President Trump has really been the leader on this. You know, they've even named him to the Board of Peace. He's a director of the Board of Peace. And that really just, I think, shows how much respect they have for President Trump and his ability to call for peace. He wants peace more than anything, I've often said. He will go down as the peacemaker in. In the history books, not only for this conflict, but for others. Let's take a look real quickly as we see the Prime Minister pulling out of the West Wing there. Circle around. We'll maybe Get a.
- [13:34]
Secretary of War / Military Official
A shot of.
- [13:34]
Brian Glenn
Him in the back seat as he's leaving. And then there we go. And so we'll see history right here at the White House and in that region. We'll be right back with more Saving America here on Real America's Voice. Welcome back to Saving America with Brian Glenn. Okay, on this Tuesday, lots on the schedule. Earlier today, President Trump traveled over to Quantico to deliver a speech to numerous military leaders that came in from not only around the country, but around the world. Here's some of the highlights.
- [14:22]
Donald Trump
I've never walked into a room so silent before. This is very. Don't laugh. Don't laugh. You're not allowed to do that. You know what? Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want. If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank. There goes your future. But you just feel nice and loose, okay? Because we're all on the same team. And I was told that, sir, you won't hear. You won't hear a murmur in the room. I said we had to loosen these guys up a little bit. So you just have a good time. But I want to thank Secretary Hegseth and General Kaine, General Raisin Cain for a reason. They call him that. When I heard his name, I said, you're the guy I'm looking for. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and so many others in this room who together represent the greatest and most elite fighting force in the history of the world, the United States military. We're very proud of our military. I rebuilt the military during my first term. It's one of the greatest achievements. We had the greatest economy in history, and I built the military. Those are the two things I say more than anything else. And I also kept us safe at the borders. We had very good borders. We didn't have people coming in from jails and prisons and everything like took place over the last four years. They'll never forget what happened to this country over the last four years with the incompetence. We're 25 years ahead of Russia and China in submarines. Russia is actually second in submarines. China's third. But, you know, they're coming up. They're coming up. They're way lower in nuclear, too, but in five years, they'll be equal. They're coming up. And you don't have to be that good with nuclear. You could have 1/20 what you have now and still do the damage that would be, you know, that would be so horrendous. But I announced that, you know, based on his mention of nuclear, and it was really a stupid person that works for. I mentioned the word nuclear. I moved a submarine or two. I won't say about the two over to the coast of Russia, just to be careful, because we can't let people throw around that word. I call it the N word. There are two N words, and you can't use either of them. You can't use either of them. In the coming months, we'll be making even more historic announcements to fully embrace the identity of the Department of War. I love the name. I think it's so great. I think it stops wars. The Department of War is going to stop wars. If we are as ruthless and relentless as our enemies, the United States armed Forces will be totally unmatched in the future. We have a group of enemies that are very ruthless and very smart, but they can't match us. They can't match us. They don't even come close to matching us. No adversary will stand in our way. They won't stand in our way. We don't want them to stand in our way. We don't want to even put them in that position. But they're not going to stand in our way ever again. You'll never see four years like we had with Biden and that group of incompetent people that ran this country that should have never been there. Because we are the United States military, the best of oldest, the bravest that the world has ever seen, that the world has ever known. With leaders like we have right here in this beautiful room today, we will vanquish every danger and crush every threat to our freedom in every generation to come. Because we will fight, fight, fight, and we will win, win, win. I want to just thank you once again and God bless the United States military and God bless America. God bless you all. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Brian Glenn
Also, Secretary of War Pete Hetseth had some inspiring words to those around the world that might want to do us harm. Take a listen.
- [18:34]
Secretary of War / Military Official
And since waging war is so costly in blood and treasure, we owe our republic a military that will win any war we choose or any war that.
- [18:44]
Brian Glenn
Is thrust upon us.
- [18:46]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision, and ferocity of the war Department. In other words, to our enemies.
- [19:02]
Brian Glenn
Fafo.
- [19:07]
Secretary of War / Military Official
If necessary, our troops can translate that for you.
- [19:10]
Brian Glenn
But so far, the big news today just came out of the Oval Office. Well, Pfizer announced that they would provide the lowest cost for prescription drugs that you can get in the world to Americans. Take a listen.
- [19:24]
Donald Trump
For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs. They paid far more. 10 times, 13 times, 15. 15 times more than other countries for the exact same product. A major reason is that the American consumers have been subsidizing research and development costs for the entire planet. They put all of that on us, and yet they were the beneficiaries, too. So it's being changed. As of today, the United states had just 4% of the world's population and consumers only 13% of all prescription drugs. Yet pharmaceutical, pharmaceutical companies make 75% of their profits from the United States. So think of that. We have 4% of the market, 13% of prescription drugs, and yet. Albert, I didn't know you were that violent. I'm surprised you're agreeing to this. He's doing the right thing. Thank you.
- [20:18]
Brian Glenn
But we're out here now waiting for the 3 o' clock executive order, where I've got one question that I've just got to ask the President. And many of you at home on social media have been asking the same thing. You've been reacting to this question and to this announcement that just happened a few days ago. I'm going to keep you in the secret of what that is right now, but if I go in at the 3 o' clock oval Office, I'm going to ask the President and get his thoughts on this topic. We'll see how he reacts.
- [20:48]
Donald Trump
And I'm thrilled to sign a very historic and executive order to massively accelerate pediatric cancer research and harness the extraordinary potential of artificial intelligence to fight this terrible disease. We're going to hook up the artificial intelligence with all of the other things that we have at hand, and we're going to come for answers. And these young children who are just really, some are absolutely better and others are getting better, you're all going to be better versed in. Yes, please.
- [21:17]
Brian Glenn
Yes, Mr. President. Seems like every time you assemble your MAHA team and your cabinet members behind here in regards to health issues, it just keeps getting powerful. And I look at these young kids there and the weight that is on the world right now that you can lift by what you're doing. I've often said Trump could cure cancer and people would still criticize him, and it's true. What is your message to. To America? That this potentially could bring us all together, get us on the same page and have unity. And I'd like to see if some of the kids or the parents have what it means to you to see President Trump get involved with this.
- [21:54]
Donald Trump
Well, we've made tremendous strides in cancer research, far more than anyone has done. And we have the greatest minds, the greatest people working on it. And childhood, you know, they call it childhood cancer. It's a very specific thing. And we really made a lot of. A lot of progress. I think something that's going to allow us to make a lot of progress is the money we're saving on pharmaceuticals. We'll be saving 500, 600, 1000%. Nobody has ever heard of that. I told the story. You were here before that. When I was in the previous administration, my first term, I was so proud of myself because I'm the first president in, in 28 years. They cut drug prices from beginning to end. So they went down. I think it was 1/8 of a percent or 1/4 of 1%. And I was so proud of that. Oz, I thought that was great. Now I'm cutting them 500%. And I will say this. Politically speaking, the people understand otherwise I wouldn't have won in a landslide. You know, I get 97% bad press and I won in a landslide. Which tells you the press has no credibility. But I will say that what we've done has been a great tribute to the people that are standing behind me in different forms. Linda in education, different. But what she's doing in education, she's sending education back to the states. That's a big move. The states, like, you know, you go back to Indiana, Iowa, you know, I would say 40 states will be great, 45 will be, you know, the 5% of them will be pretty good. But. And then you're going to have a Gavin Newscomb and some other people that aren't going to do a good job. But, you know, we'll help them out. I want to help them out. And we're going to have safe cities again. We're going to be very safe. We're going to be going to Chicago pretty soon because a friend of mine, a guy, a great guy, the head of the Union Pacific, he said, sir, you have to save Chicago. It's going bad. It's going bad fast. And it's a great city. He's right. It's a great city. I know it very, very well. And we have to save Chicago. So we're going to Memphis, Tennessee, right now. We've had a home run in D.C. you can walk out, Brian, you got mugged. Here a long time ago.
- [24:06]
Brian Glenn
Yes, sir.
- [24:06]
Donald Trump
And the mugger must have felt some pain because you're a tough cookie.
- [24:10]
Brian Glenn
Well, he had a gun. And I wish I would have had.
- [24:11]
Donald Trump
Triple H with me if he had a gun. All you could do is say thank you very much. Yeah, no, but it's. And everybody here. I mean, you were here in the room when I said to the reporters who got mugged in the last year? And like, half of the people raised their hand. Now, if you said, who got mugged over the last 60 days? Nobody. Nobody. No killing, no nothing. And the restaurants are booming, the town is booming, it's clean. You know, the National Guard actually went out and started cleaning all the crap out of the parks. The tents are knocked down, down. We had one that. You said it was a blue tent and you said it was a communist tent. Right. See, we're going to have a communist mayor of New York. So, you know, let's see how that works out.
- [24:55]
Brian Glenn
And I've gotten a lot of feedback on that. Everyone's very appreciative that you were doing that tent.
- [24:59]
Donald Trump
You told me about a blue tent. And I said, I can't be there because we knocked him down. But this was a very highly sophisticated group of people that had permits and all the other things. Well, their permit expired. We knocked it down. It took what, 24 hours less than. So I appreciate you telling me that. No, we have. We have a great thing going. The country is doing incredible. We are a hot country. The hottest. We're the hottest country in the world right now.
- [25:23]
Brian Glenn
Do the parents or the kids have.
- [25:24]
Donald Trump
Anything they'd like to say? Yeah, that's a great question. Would you like to say something?
- [25:28]
Josh Armstrong (Parent of Child with Cancer)
I would.
- [25:28]
Donald Trump
That's a good comment right there. That's the best comment you've made in a long time.
- [25:34]
Josh Armstrong (Parent of Child with Cancer)
Mr. President, good evening. I'm Josh Armstrong. My name is Josh Armstrong. I'm from West Virginia. And I'm the father of this amazingly brave and resilient little six year old, Laurel. Laurel was diagnosed with leukemia when she was two years old, just before her third birthday. And we went on to watch as she spent months in the hospital fighting for her life as she received blood transfusions and platelet transfusions as she fought off one potentially fatal infection after another. We watched as her body swelled and became painful from steroids and then as it became from frail and weak from chemotherapy. And we watched and we wondered why there aren't better treatments available. And we wondered what might happen if she doesn't get the drugs. She need. And we wondered, why isn't anybody doing more? And on behalf of myself and all the parents that have watched and wondered, we'd like to say that what you're doing today gives parents like me and children like Laurel the one thing that we most desperately need. And that's hope. And Laurel is, I'm happy to say, Laurel's in remission today.
- [26:35]
Donald Trump
She looks so beautiful. Thank you. She is beautiful.
- [26:45]
Josh Armstrong (Parent of Child with Cancer)
That's for you.
- [26:46]
Donald Trump
You look so great.
- [26:47]
Josh Armstrong (Parent of Child with Cancer)
Because of this bill, doctors are going to be able to get better treatments faster to patients like Laurel. And because of you making children like her, real children, not cases or statistics, but children like Laurel and all these children here today, we have that hope. And we are so proud that you're standing with children with cancer. You're making it a national priority. Thank you, Mr. President.
- [27:07]
Donald Trump
We're with you all the way. How about you back there, dad?
- [27:12]
Brian Glenn
Actually, I'd like my daughter to speak. Oh, I like that.
- [27:15]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Caroline would like to speak.
- [27:16]
Donald Trump
She's good. I'd like you to speak.
- [27:18]
Israeli Official / Government Representative
Thank you.
- [27:19]
Child Cancer Survivor / Young Speaker
Good afternoon. My name is Carolyn Hendricks. When I was four years old, I was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a pediatric bone cancer. Eleven years later, I'm now 16 years old, and I'm doing great. What you're doing today, Mr. President, means that kids like me will get better options and so much more hope for the future. This will help doctors use technology to find cures faster, match patients to trials more quickly, and give our families more control over our health. For kids, every day counts. This order shows that our lives meet matter enough to be first in line for innovation. On behalf of children and young adults with cancer, those still fighting and those remission like me, and families who wish that they had more time together, thank you for making us a national priority. Mr. President. Because of actions like this, kids like me have the chance to grow up, to chase our dreams, and to live full lives. And that is the greatest gift anyone could ever.
- [28:16]
Donald Trump
Wow. That was so. Your father could not have done that big service. Father. Yes, sir. That's great. Where did you learn how to speak like that?
- [28:33]
Child Cancer Survivor / Young Speaker
I've done lots of speeches for childhood cancer over the last few years. And I'm also in a theater program.
- [28:39]
Donald Trump
So that's a great job. Would anybody like to say something? Would anybody? Would you like to say something, honey? Yes.
- [28:47]
Child Cancer Survivor / Young Speaker
I'm Iloni Myers. I'm nine years old, and I had a blood cancer called leukemia when I was only two years old. I had to get treated at seven different hospitals across this country. And I had to have two marrow transplants, one for my dad and one for my mom. And I had to spend many days and the nights in the hospital getting pokies and yucky medicine. And me and my parents are very worried. And I had to go through those seven different hospitals to find the best treatment that can make me better. And thank you, Mr. President, for making everything happen today. So kids like me and Laura, we can still be living today. In speaking.
- [29:33]
Donald Trump
Wow. We're not doing so well today. They're doing so good. That was fantastic. Thank you. And you're feeling good now?
- [29:49]
Caroline Levit
Yes.
- [29:49]
Donald Trump
Are you all better? You're pretty, pretty close, right? Yeah. Yeah. I hear you're going to do good. Anybody like to say something? Yes, sir. Go ahead.

Secretary of War / Military Official
We wouldn't miss this.
- [30:34]
Donald Trump
Thank you. But you know, we're going to. We're doing a lot for you and we're going to. You're all going to be better very soon. I don't think you're going to need any of the help that we're giving. It's going to be for the future. But I want to thank you for being with us. And I'm going to bring them back to a room. We have a room where we have lots of hats and things in the back. And we're going to. Would you like to go back and we'll pick some nice presents. We'll get rid of the wonderful people of the media. Do you like the media? They're nice, right?

Making D.C. much safer. Let's see if that same model can apply to Mr. Waiting for them to get here, jump on the plane and make our way. Want to get your thoughts? That's okay. On. On how important it is right now to take this same model that's worked in D.C. lowering crime, lowering all the rape, murder, assaults to different cities in America.
- [32:23]
Stephen Miller
So the model that we did in D.C. worked incredible. And as you see, crime has plummeted in D.C. it's been amazing. I was texting with Mayor Bowser this morning, and last night I was texting with the mayor of Memphis. So we're really looking forward to going to Memphis today. And, you know, we know President Trump knows when the government shuts down, crime doesn't shut down. And so we're not going to let that impact what we're doing and fighting to keep America safe. Memphis has the highest violent murder rate in the entire country. Just this year alone, they have had 150 murders. And it's going to stop. We're all working together, and we're going to meet with the governor, the mayor. I talked to Both of our U.S. senators last night who are here, I think, voting to hopefully open up our country again. But we're all. Secretary Hegsa, Stephen Miller and others and I are going today to Memphis to meet with all of the government officials and all of our great members of law enforcement who are out there now working so hard.
- [33:24]
Brian Glenn
Let's talk about the policies that need to be put in place to make sure that when we do get these criminals off the street, they stay off the street and maybe get charged for some of the crimes that they've been allegedly committed.
- [33:35]
Stephen Miller
Yeah, and that's a huge problem in Memphis because they've had cashless bail. You know, when you have a woke DA who doesn't care and they're letting people out, they're turning it around. Someone who committed a violent murder recently in Memphis in 2024, I think had all had just been let out months before on cashless bail and then commits a murder. So these people should be locked up, they shouldn't be on the streets. And, and that's why our US Attorneys are going to take as many of these crimes federally as we can. As we legally can. And also we have dea, atf, FBI, US Marshals, all working hand in hand with the National Guard, with Secretary Noem and DHS and with all of our partners on the ground, local law enforcement as well, to help keep Memphis safe and make Memphis safe. Because it's been horrendous out there in D.C. took some of those National Guard members and you use them as sort of lawyers. Is that something that you plan to do in Memphis as well? Did you say use them as what? You. You had them working on legal cases as well, so that they were working in the streets, but also to keep these criminals in jail. Well, right now we have our U.S. attorney's office ready to go. Everything's on the table. But yeah, we had taken a lot of JAG officers that we were using the Secretary Hegseth loaned us. And so, yeah, we might be doing that again as well. But. But right now it's really just getting the crime under control in Memphis because it has been out of control. And you know, we have a Democrat mayor there who understands it. He understands they want to make Memphis prosperous, they want to bring businesses there, they want to keep it a beautiful city that it is. It's so historical and yet the crime is through the roof. Number one, violent crime in the entire country going to stop under Donald Trump.
- [35:20]
Brian Glenn
Thank you very much.
- [35:21]
Child Cancer Survivor / Young Speaker
Appreciate it.
- [35:21]
Brian Glenn
Thank you. So we just now arrived here in Memphis.
- [35:32]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Attorney General back there along with Secretary of War is greeting the governor, some.
- [35:39]
Brian Glenn
Other dignitaries here in Tennessee as we make our way to the joint operations facility.
- [35:46]
Israeli Official / Government Representative
Let's go.
- [36:01]
Stephen Miller
You know, President Trump knows Memphis is such an iconic city and he was so excited about us coming here and working hand in hand with you to make Memphis safe again. And that's what we did in D.C. and Gaddy said you're 24 7. Well, so are we. When people play politics and shut down the federal government, we don't shut down because President Trump knows crime doesn't stop and you don't stop.
- [36:27]
Secretary of War / Military Official
You know who the bad guys are, you know who the villains are, you know who the game bankers are, you know who the drug dealers are, you know who is causing all the bloodshed and misery in this city. Every resource we have, federal, state and local, we are going to use to dismantle their networks without apology and without commercial everything we have. We are going to bulldog the criminal element in this city and thereby liberate all the law abiding citizens in the city. We're going to send the message the city belongs to people who Follow the law and obey the rules. And we're not going to live one more day in fear of criminals. No one should have to change their life, have facts, change their routine, change when they go out, where they go out, what they do for fear of criminals. The idea that any person living in a city would say, I can't walk down this block by myself or I can't leave my house at this time of night, or I can't let my kids go to that store or that corner, Are you kidding me? We're going to tell our own families and children where they can and can't go because what a criminal is going to do over our dead bodies are going to live that way anymore. It's not happening. I see the guns in this room. You are unleashed. The handcuffs that you're carrying, they're not on you anymore. They're other criminals. And whatever you need to get it done, we're going to get it done. State, local, federal, on President Trump's promise, we are going to get it done.
- [37:48]
Donald Trump
Thank you.
- [37:49]
Brian Glenn
Okay, we just wrapped up a quick briefing inside the command center there. Really strong words from Stephen Miller. The handcuffs are now off the officers and they're going to go on the people committing these crimes. Now we're jumping back in the motorcade, gonna head out to location number two.
- [38:07]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Let's go.
- [38:08]
Brian Glenn
We'll be right back with more Saving America here on Real America's Voice. Welcome back to Saving America with Brian Glenn.
- [38:40]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Our department is here to enable you, law enforcement, to do your job, to help protect your facilities, help protect your people, so that you, your hands can be untied to secure your city. So our department's proud to be here. It's a priority for us. The Tennessee National Guard is going to be right here having your back. Godspeed. God bless. Thank you for everything you do. They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they're hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are. And we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are going to win. They are going to lose. We are going to rescue Memphis. And it will not only be safer than ever before, but businesses and investment are going to pour in and Memphis will be richer than ever before because President Trump hits a. Decided this is a priority. And when President Trump makes a decision, this team behind me today executes. Thank you and God bless.
- [39:44]
Stephen Miller
If you touch a law enforcement officer it is a crime and you are going to jail. We are arresting anyone who touches any of you. If you touch a federal officer, it's going to be assault on a federal officer. And we have our U.S. attorney here. And to all of you state and local officers, let's see what your DA does, because he better prosecute crimes against you because we have your back.
- [40:11]
Brian Glenn
An amazing speech. And it just proves that they are here to support the men and women of law enforcement. I think Stephen Miller once again summed it up the best. The bull stops now, and they're going to take back this city.
- [40:24]
Secretary of War / Military Official
The streets don't belong to the criminals. The streets don't belong to the gangs.
- [40:27]
Brian Glenn
And they will not allow any criminal activity to take place here in Memphis.
- [40:32]
Secretary of War / Military Official
What's up, Ryan? Hey, how you doing?
- [40:34]
Brian Glenn
Congratulations. You're doing a great job. I got about five phone calls. I said your sons and daughters just enlisted.
- [40:43]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Thank you for all the great work.
- [40:45]
Brian Glenn
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir. What'd you think about the push up contest over there?
- [40:59]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Oh, I mean, you know, they. I want to say he was army, he was doing a good job, but headset kind of had him. Not gonna lie. I don't know if that bodes well.
- [41:07]
Brian Glenn
For him, but that just shows just really how connected that headset is with the people who serve our country. And he's willing to stop, drop, and do push ups. I think it's pretty cool.
- [41:23]
Secretary of War / Military Official
So in regards to the shutdown, how does that affect this at all in terms of securing these cities?
- [41:31]
Stephen Miller
It does. The shutdown does not affect our program at all. Because they can play politics. They can shut down the federal government. But President Trump knows crime doesn't stop and we don't stop. We're not going to shut down law enforcement in this country.
- [41:45]
Secretary of War / Military Official
That's right. We do our job. What it does expose is quite a contrast. So you got this task force here securing the American people. The work that we do at the Defense Department alongside, excuse me, the Department of War, alongside our partners in law enforcement, is to secure the American people and also help them in mass deportations of illegals. Yet you see Democrats shutting down the government to try to provide health care for illegals. Is that what people want? Is that people want their government focused on. Of course not President Trump. Our departments are focused on real things for real citizens, and we're proud to do it. That's exactly the point. So this is the first shutdown in American history, I would say, in the world history, where a political party has shut down government to Give free health care to illegal aliens. This has now been conceded by all. Vaccine Waters conceded it. Replaced Connor conceded it. Hakeem and Jeffries has conceded it. The White House released the text, the Democrat funding rider. They've shown the exact paragraph that gives $200 billion of free health care to illegal aliens. Now, I would say that probably less than 1% of America's population, excluding illegals, would support that provision. You are talking about taking Americans harder and tight tax dollars and giving it to people who have no legal right to be in this country. Taking away from our children, taking away from our loved ones, taking away from sick and elderly Americans. It's downright disgusting. And to deny pay to our troops, to deny pay to FBI, atf, DEA and ice to try to give free health care to illegals is honestly, it's sinful. I've never seen anything worse in any funding fight than my entire entire life. Republicans put up a clean funding bill. No policy riders, just straightforward of the government. And they voted it down for one reason. It didn't give free health care to illegals. It's revolting. We noticed on the way in here.
- [43:42]
Brian Glenn
There'S a digital billboard that said, memphis, we welcome the National Guard. How does that make you guys feel?
- [43:48]
Secretary of War / Military Official
You know, that doesn't surprise me at all. I don't think it surprises any of us because when you go out on the street to talk to the citizens, even if they were hesitant at the, at the beginning, couple days in, and now they're looking at what happened in Washington to say, we want that security, we want that safety here in Memphis. It's a proud city. These are proud people that love that city. So they're welcoming the National Guard, and it is the Tennessee National Guard. It's their fellow members of their state securing that city. They have welcomed us. We're glad to be here for them.
- [44:16]
Brian Glenn
I saw a message on X someone sent me and they said, please let everyone know that some of these cross criminals are going out into the suburbs. They know that you guys are coming to Memphis and they're running out to the suburbs. How do we handle that?
- [44:27]
Stephen Miller
That's an easy message. You can't hide. You can run, but you can't hide. We're coming after you. We're gonna find you. Get ready. You're going to prison.
- [44:34]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Thank you.
- [44:35]
Brian Glenn
We'll be right back with more Saving America here on Real America's Voice. Welcome back to Saving America with Brian Glenn. Okay, we're in the government shutdown right now and of course, a lot of federal Employees are affected by this shutdown. And of course the White House is not shielded from that. They have some shifting around the schedule. So I thought this morning I would pick up some McDonald's and surprise the press team back here and let them know that we're thinking about them. They're hard working people. Let us go back feeding. Let's go. We just got out of a press briefing with Caroline Levit and as we would expect, the first question was all about the government shutdown. Take a listen.
- [45:31]
Stephen Miller
Should there be some type of scheduled.
- [45:34]
Caroline Levit
Layoffs to maybe entice Democrats to come to the table? Like every hour another agency, another 100 pink slips. I'm sure Rust Boat has a list of of folks ready to go. Well, look, the Office of Management and Budget, as we've said repeatedly, is working with the agencies and our cabinet secretaries to identify where cuts unfortunately can and have to be made. And again, we understand there's another vote happening on the Senate floor in an hour. Maybe if Democrats do the right thing, this government shutdown can be over. Our troops can get paid again. We can go back to doing the business of the American people. But if this shutdown continues, as we've said, we layoffs are an unfortunate consequence of that. And Russ Vote has been in contact with our cabinet secretaries at their respective agencies to discuss that.
- [46:18]
Brian Glenn
And of course, my question had to do with my visit to Memphis and her message to other Democrat mayors around the country. Take a listen.
- [46:27]
Caroline Levit
Brian, go ahead.
- [46:29]
Brian Glenn
Welcome to the briefing room.
- [46:30]
Israeli Official / Government Representative
By the way.
- [46:31]
Brian Glenn
I was with the secretary of war and the attorney general in Memphis.
- [46:35]
Donald Trump
Just the other as they were going.
- [46:36]
Brian Glenn
To a command center and I noticed a billboard along the highway that said.
- [46:39]
Secretary of War / Military Official
Memphis welcomes the National Guard.
- [46:42]
Brian Glenn
Now what is your message today to Democrat mayors watching us right now that suffer from TDS and they cannot get Trump out of the way to saving their city, Portland being one of them.
- [46:54]
Caroline Levit
They should do the right thing by their citizens, Brian. They should call the president. They should call the White House and say, we want to work with you. And in Memphis, we are seeing some cooperation. As you saw from that billboard, the people of Memphis are loving this and they are very grateful for the federal government's efforts. And federal law enforcement is there. We're working alongside local law enforcement. We'd like to see it ramped up a little bit because we want to make progress and we want to arrest as many bad criminals as we can. Since Monday. I do have some updated statistics from the Homeland Security Council this morning. Since Monday, 153 arrests have been made in Memphis, including five gang members, 48 illegal guns have been seized and five missing children have already been recovered. Last night, 60 arrests were made and 21 illegal firearms were seized. Arrests from last night include a suspect wanted for rape of a child under 13, first degree murder, breaking and entering, aggravated assault, illegal drug possession, and many more. So we continue to see good results coming in through Memphis and the president is very excited about making Memphis safe again. Thank you, everyone.
