President Trump addressing the NRA convention in Indianapolis.
00:00:08.120
We're going to watch this entire speech and come back in the war room.
00:00:21.220
No, no, we want people to be able to protect themselves and also enjoy it as entertainment
00:00:28.360
and go out and hunt and do the things that you want to do.
00:00:33.920
Everything that they do is like, we want to have a weak military.
00:00:39.700
You know, we built, we rebuilt the entire U.S. military.
00:00:47.680
We had planes where the grandfathers were flying the same plane as the grandson.
00:00:54.680
I mean, I hate to say this, we gave $85 billion of it to the Taliban in Afghanistan in probably
00:01:03.640
the most embarrassing single moment in the history of our country, which I believe led
00:01:11.380
But I believe it led to that and led to a lot of bad things.
00:01:13.960
That was the most embarrassing period of time, I think, in our nation's history.
00:01:17.620
Not only that, the soldiers killed, 13 killed, many just horribly, horribly wounded, hurt.
00:01:25.000
No arms, no legs, faces were just so badly hurt.
00:01:32.560
And then we gave up Bagram Air Base, a big air base, one hour from where China makes its
00:01:42.820
You know, if you look back on that history, you're going to see something that was interesting.
00:01:51.640
And I took a lot of heat from all of those fake news people back there.
00:02:00.000
They're the ones that were fighting and fighting hard.
00:02:06.060
I say, well, Jesse James, a great bank robber, great outlaw.
00:02:14.720
So when I dealt with Abdul, he's the one that was shooting our young soldiers and others
00:02:29.120
You do that, you're going to suffer like nobody's ever suffered.
00:02:34.180
We'll hit you harder than anybody's ever been hit.
00:02:37.160
He said, Your Excellency, why but why do you send me a picture of my home?
00:02:43.380
I said, Abdul, you're going to have to figure that one out for yourself.
00:02:58.300
They were at bay and we were going to get out with pride and with dignity.
00:03:06.900
We were going to take all of our equipment out.
00:03:23.660
Sir, I think it would be a lot easier to leave the equipment behind.
00:03:32.280
I said, so you mean to tell me, General, that if we have a hundred million dollar airplane
00:03:37.320
sitting there, you want to leave that and you think that's a good thing.
00:03:45.200
We could just fill it up with a little jet fuel and fly it to Pakistan or fly it home.
00:03:55.720
We left $85 billion worth of equipment in Afghanistan.
00:04:01.900
And I just read a report the other day that they are about the second largest seller of arms
00:04:18.200
You know, we left behind, talking about guns, NRA, 700,000 guns and rifles, some of them
00:04:28.380
Some of them, even our people right up here that are so wealthy, I know them, they wish
00:04:32.120
they could afford guns like we left behind for the Taliban.
00:04:36.640
Think of it, 700,000, 70,000 vehicles, many of them armor-plated, costing millions of dollars
00:04:49.880
And let me tell you, we've never been in such danger in our life.
00:04:55.240
I believe it's the most dangerous time in the history of our country because of the power
00:05:23.120
And now it's talked about every single day, including by Putin.
00:05:26.480
He goes, you know, we're a great nuclear power.
00:05:31.160
He never said that when I was here because you don't talk about it.
00:05:39.300
And we have somebody that has no idea what it is.
00:05:41.480
We've never been in such danger because of our leadership.
00:05:46.000
We've never been in such danger as we are right now.
00:05:49.200
I will take Biden's executive order directing the federal government to target the firearms
00:05:54.620
industry, and I will rip it up and throw it out on day one.
00:06:10.020
We're energy independent, soon to be energy dominant.
00:06:14.620
You'll see your gasoline and your heating bills and your cooling bills and every other
00:06:20.960
bill you'll see plummet, and you'll see inflation start to go away.
00:06:26.340
I will eliminate the Biden ATF's ridiculous pistol brace rule, which orders law-abiding
00:06:32.880
citizens to register or surrender guns with stabilizing braces, right?
00:06:39.020
Does everybody like that, or should I forget about it?
00:06:51.320
To restore our Second Amendment, we will pass legislation protecting the absolute right
00:06:56.980
to self-defense with federal penalties for prosecutorial abuse like we saw just recently
00:07:04.580
You saw that, where a man was trying to defend himself, and they want to put him in jail for
00:07:10.140
And I will ask Congress to send a bill to my desk to allow national concealed carry reciprocity.
00:07:25.260
Just like your driver's license or your marriage license, your Second Amendment must apply across
00:07:34.040
The Biden gun control agenda is part and parcel of the left-wing crusade to weaponize government
00:07:40.520
against law-abiding citizens while letting criminals roam free.
00:07:47.400
You're afraid to walk through one of these Democrat cities.
00:07:50.520
You go out for a loaf of bread, you end up getting shot.
00:07:53.700
As president, I will end the weaponization of our government, including the ATF, the FBI,
00:08:13.200
And that includes the gun-grabbing bureaucrats who are persecuting gun owners and manufacturers
00:08:20.160
You people are getting persecuted by these left-wing maniacs.
00:08:25.220
No longer will government target the left's political enemies.
00:08:29.520
Instead, we will once again target violent criminals.
00:08:38.520
And we have to go after them and stop worrying about somebody that will never hurt anybody with
00:08:45.140
a gun, just wants the gun for protection or whatever.
00:08:48.640
We will get them behind bars, and we will keep them behind bars.
00:08:53.300
They don't even, now in New York, we have a district attorney.
00:08:57.280
You can kill somebody, and you don't even have to put up bail.
00:09:09.240
I don't even know, you talk about April Fool's Day.
00:09:11.660
I don't even know who could think, who would think that this is good.
00:09:14.900
Murderers, killers, violent animals are released onto the streets immediately.
00:09:25.420
The first duty of government is to protect its citizens.
00:09:28.820
As an example, when you see these gangs of hundreds of young, usually young people,
00:09:33.920
go and attack an apartment store, department store in San Francisco, in Los Angeles, in Chicago,
00:09:40.940
and they run in by the hundreds, and they're running out carrying refrigerators and carrying
00:09:46.680
air conditioners and big stuff, big little everything, fur coats, non-fur coats, everything
00:10:06.720
But they're not allowed to do their job because of these radical lunatics we have, thinking
00:10:13.540
I don't even think they do think they're doing the right thing.
00:10:16.680
The politically incorrect truth that no one on the left wants to admit is that violent
00:10:25.600
It is committed by a brutal class of hardened, repeat criminals.
00:10:32.780
In San Francisco, and who would have thought San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities
00:10:44.260
In San Francisco, murder suspects have an average of 13.9 prior arrests and 9.2 felony arrests.
00:10:52.960
In Portland, shooting suspects have an average of eight prior arrests and nine criminal charges.
00:10:58.200
In Washington, D.C., a place that I'm very familiar with, four years, when I saw tents
00:11:04.380
going up, I had them take them down immediately, immediately.
00:11:08.600
You can't do that on these incredible parks and these incredible monuments, and they were
00:11:14.720
putting tents up, and I take them down immediately because you can do that much easier than when
00:11:21.500
You have to see what's happened to Washington, D.C. since I've left.
00:11:24.840
It's horrible, beautiful lawns with tents all over, no respect for our country, no respect
00:11:34.700
But in Washington, D.C., an estimated 70 percent of all violent crime, and there's a lot of
00:11:39.500
it involving guns, is concentrated among a group of just 500 chronic lawbreakers.
00:11:46.100
With most suspects arrested 11 times at least before being involved in a murder.
00:11:51.920
They ultimately end up in a murder, and then they end up getting like a year, and sometimes
00:11:59.680
less, and sometimes they're not even prosecuted.
00:12:02.280
The only one they want to prosecute is Donald Trump.
00:12:19.400
This career criminal class cares nothing about gun laws in Chicago.
00:12:24.140
Just three percent of prison inmates who used a gun bought it at a store.
00:12:29.000
So all of the gun owners in this room, a lot of them...
00:12:37.780
Is there anybody in the room who doesn't own a gun?
00:12:41.220
Please raise your hand if you have the courage.
00:12:45.940
And how many people own gun stores and sell guns?
00:13:00.160
The issue is too many thugs, hoodlums, and savage criminals on our street.
00:13:05.360
Instead of getting these dangerous killers into jail,
00:13:10.840
we have radical DAs and attorney generals, prosecutors,
00:13:15.880
all across this country subverting the law to attack conservative people
00:13:20.920
and religious people, evangelicals, Christians.
00:13:26.140
The very same raging radical left lunatic attorney general
00:13:35.940
Shamefully trying to destroy this legendary organization
00:13:39.680
that's been an American institution since 1871.
00:13:45.040
You know, when the NRA endorsed me in 2016 for the 2016 campaign,
00:13:52.540
And I do have two sons who are really good shots.
00:14:03.400
They've been a member of the NRA for a long time.
00:14:08.000
That was considered one of the greatest things to do.
00:14:11.040
That was like getting into the Wharton School of Finance
00:14:13.200
or getting into Harvard or getting into a great college.
00:14:26.220
Well, they're going to have some explaining to do.
00:14:38.880
I've never seen such spirit as there is right now.
00:14:42.420
And part of that, sadly, is because they are doing such a horrible job
00:14:47.080
of running our country, which is really destroying our country.
00:14:51.580
And I think it makes us even more popular, to be honest with you.
00:14:56.860
What they're doing is destroying our great country.
00:15:00.120
I want to congratulate you for fighting it so bravely,
00:15:04.280
all of the things that have been happening to you.
00:15:06.180
The racist in reverse ran for office on the promise.
00:15:21.480
But I'm watching her campaign and a lot of people in the race.
00:15:29.800
But she proclaimed, I look forward to going into the office of Attorney General
00:15:34.180
every single day, suing him and then going home, being very happy.
00:15:41.920
But she announced, what is fueling my soul right now is Trump getting Trump.
00:15:57.100
Just like her attacks on the NRA and just like the witch hunts against us by the Manhattan
00:16:06.100
And the guy I have watching, this guy's central casting, the guy from Washington, special prosecutor.
00:16:19.000
Biden has 1,850 boxes that are unaccounted for.
00:16:24.080
He had many boxes in Chinatown, classified information, many boxes.
00:16:31.280
They got them out of there, but they got caught.
00:16:34.960
And they sent them up to Boston, and they sit up in Boston.
00:16:39.120
And then it was revealed that he got millions of dollars from the Chinese.
00:16:45.580
But he has boxes in Chinatown, boxes all over the place.
00:16:52.920
But they're trying to arrest their political opposition.
00:16:57.760
It's really very much like the old Soviet Union.
00:17:00.460
They call it Soviet style with the elections and with the interference.
00:17:06.620
It's going to be hard for them to get away with the kind of corruption they did when they
00:17:10.020
had COVID because COVID made a lot of things bad for a lot of people.
00:17:16.940
So now I really believe they're going the prosecutorial way.
00:17:20.700
That's the route where they use prosecutors to – don't forget, if you're – like with
00:17:26.380
me, it's sort of interesting because my numbers have gone way up.
00:17:36.420
You know, the truth is the American public knows me well, and they know that's not my
00:17:41.120
But they don't know a lot of people running for office.
00:17:43.480
So if you have a young, good Republican running for office gets a subpoena, and then they
00:17:49.040
leak it out to the papers, it's impossible for this guy to win a race.
00:17:55.440
So we've done something that I don't believe has ever done before, and we're going to stay
00:17:59.240
there, and we're going to go even higher if we can.
00:18:03.140
But we're going to go even higher if you can because we have to save our country.
00:18:08.500
They're coming after you, and I'm just sort of in the way.
00:18:15.460
And as everybody knows, it's all because we're leading so big in the polls, not only
00:18:24.220
against Republicans, but also against Joe Biden.
00:18:27.740
And if you take a look, this week's morning console poll, I led the field by 33 points
00:18:49.500
No, because he is a nice man, if you want to really know the truth.
00:18:58.800
I don't know what you did, but you made news today with the introduction you gave.
00:19:04.420
And Nikki Haley, that's another, that's a beauty.
00:19:12.860
I don't think Abbott's going to run, governor of Texas.
00:19:16.520
In a two-way poll of Florida last week, it was Trump, 47, and DeSanctis, 32 percent.
00:19:23.920
And there was another poll in Florida where Trump was at 80, and DeSanctis was at 50, and
00:19:30.340
In Texas, it's Trump, 52 percent, DeSanctis, 20, Pence, 5, Haley, 4.
00:19:39.220
You know, the only way we could lose is if we go prevent defense.
00:19:44.400
In football, where they're holding the team to no score, and then they go prevent the last
00:19:52.260
But you can take a look on the screen, and you'll see some of these things posted, and
00:19:57.260
In Massachusetts, we're leading by, I think, like 45, almost 50 points.
00:20:08.080
I got China to pay the farmers $28 billion for the damage that they caused.
00:20:20.280
Remember in the old days, I used to always announce polls.
00:20:25.800
But when they were good, I used to drive the opposition crazy.
00:20:38.480
And I am the one that they don't want to run against.
00:20:44.760
He is the most perfect human being we've ever seen.
00:20:57.100
What they say, you can usually go the opposite.
00:20:59.640
They say, oh, yeah, we want to run against Trump.
00:21:01.980
In the meantime, they got 5,000 prosecutors after my ass.
00:21:17.400
Now, they're the party of disinformation or misinformation.
00:21:20.620
Nobody knows the difference, but they're pretty close.
00:21:23.240
It's no wonder that the far left crazies are engaging in election interference on a historic scale.
00:21:30.100
Nobody outside of this country, nobody has ever seen anything like what's happening now with the prosecutors,
00:21:36.200
these Marxist prosecutors who release rapists and murderers while persecuting conservatives.
00:21:43.700
On day one of my new administration, I will direct the DOJ with a very strong leader, not like Barr, not like Bill Barr.
00:22:02.660
And remember, they were going to impeach him, and then all of a sudden, he actually said,
00:22:06.720
no, he didn't see any wrongdoing in the election.
00:22:11.300
My young son, very young, saw a lot of wrongdoing in the election.
00:22:15.620
Did anybody in this room, can they say they didn't see any wrong?
00:22:18.660
That was the worst horror show, I think, one of the greatest criminal acts ever, the election of 2020.
00:22:27.440
But we will turn that around, and it'll be even bigger.
00:22:39.260
And we'll be able to do things we could have never done, because they have shown so bad.
00:22:43.580
In other words, they want to show us, well, they showed us.
00:22:52.720
I mean, there's not a leader that respects our leader.
00:22:54.780
We will show them, through this horrible four years that we're going through, the problem is we can't take any more of it, because we're not going to have a country left.
00:23:04.340
But we will show them that we can do things, and we'll be able to do things on crime and other elements of society.
00:23:12.120
We'll be able to do things that you probably wouldn't have been able to do if you just carried it forward.
00:23:19.760
This could be much bigger than if we went the more traditional route.
00:23:23.080
I will direct the DOJ to investigate every radical DA and attorney general in America for their illegal race- and reverse-based enforcement of the law.
00:23:33.320
I will then appoint a team of warrior U.S. attorneys, and I know some great ones, including from this area, who will be the polar opposite of the Soros district attorneys.
00:23:53.100
These guys, I mean, what they're thinking, who can believe?
00:24:00.740
They're either stupid or they hate our country, and I don't think they're stupid, because anybody that can cheat so well in an election, they're not stupid.
00:24:10.240
That means they hate our country, and I believe they hate our country.
00:24:14.080
They will be the 100 most ferocious crime fighters in American history, and I will task them with demolishing every gang, street crew, and criminal network they can find piece by piece until public safety is fully restored.
00:24:31.060
And at the top of the list is Washington, D.C. itself, which is absolutely plagued by numbers and crime that nobody's ever seen before.
00:24:49.380
We've never seen anything like what's happening in Washington, D.C.
00:24:53.240
Can you imagine these foreign leaders coming over from countries, and they're looking at this filth and squalor and crime in our capital?
00:25:03.880
And I think we have to take over management of our capital, because the people that are running, including the mayor, who did nothing about January 6th, he was the one, no, we don't need anybody, we don't need any help, along with crazy Nancy Pelosi.
00:25:23.320
But all of our Democrat-run cities are being absolutely ruined and destroyed as we sit here and talk.
00:25:32.080
I will order the ATF to stop bullying gun store owners and wanting to shut them down for paperwork errors, and instead go after drug dealers, human traffickers, and criminal cartels, which is what they should be going after.
00:27:51.260
And I will ask every state and federal agency to identify every known or suspected gang member
00:27:56.760
in America, and every one of them that is here legally, we will pick them up and we
00:28:01.340
will send them back to the country from which they came.
00:28:05.280
As we restore safety to our streets, we have no choice.
00:28:12.740
As we restore safety to our streets, we must also restore it to our schools, hardening
00:28:20.900
We have to harden our assets to protect our children against threats of any kind.
00:28:26.180
And last month, our hearts were shattered by news of the monstrous attack on a Christian
00:28:30.900
elementary school in Nashville that claimed the lives of three adults and three precious
00:28:36.920
Today, we wrap those beautiful families in our love and we lift them up in our prayers.
00:28:41.800
We also salute the law enforcement heroes who ran into danger and took out that killer with
00:28:48.620
speed and skill that made us all very, very proud.
00:28:56.180
It's a scandal and a tragedy that year after year, Democrats in Washington continue to hold
00:29:04.640
common sense school safety measures hostage to their radical gun control agenda, which
00:29:11.660
in virtually all cases would do nothing to prevent attacks by demented and disturbed individuals,
00:29:19.620
And many are coming into our country, but we're getting them out.
00:29:22.060
Our country has been chock full of guns for centuries, and there was no talk of massacres,
00:29:44.100
Each and every one of these heinous attacks depend on the same cold-blooded calculation
00:29:54.780
that the evil monster will have a window of time to act out their demonic fantasy unchallenged.
00:30:03.680
The only way to stop these wicked acts is to ensure that any sicko who would shoot up a
00:30:09.680
school knows that within seconds, not minutes, they will face certain death.
00:30:20.960
For this reason, I will ask Congress to repeal totally ineffective legislation that makes it
00:30:27.240
harder to protect our schools and easier for criminals to face absolutely no opposition
00:30:34.680
I will also create a new tax credit to reimburse any teacher for the full cost of a concealed
00:30:40.340
carry firearm in training from highly qualified experts.
00:30:50.080
If even 5% of teachers, people that are skilled with arms, we want that.
00:30:55.020
5% were voluntarily armed and trained to stop active shooters.
00:31:02.140
We would achieve effective deterrence, and the problem would cease to exist.
00:31:08.160
But these are all people that are trained and talented with firearms.
00:31:12.980
For about $12 billion, we could fund armed security guards at the entrance to every school
00:31:23.640
They have to go through rigorous, or as some people say, vigorous.
00:31:30.340
They have to go through vigorous training, but they're already there.
00:31:34.720
And they'll do better than anybody you could put in.
00:31:39.760
If we can send $120 billion to Ukraine, then we can afford one-tenth of that amount to protect
00:31:56.500
We also need to drastically change our approach to mental health.
00:32:00.320
Upon my inauguration, I will direct the FDA to convene, and it's so, it's going to happen
00:32:06.080
quickly, to convene an independent outside panel to investigate whether transgender hormone
00:32:13.020
treatments and ideology increase the risk of extreme depression, aggression, and even violence.
00:32:19.340
I think most of us already know the answer, don't we?
00:32:21.980
Furthermore, we have to look at whether common psychiatric drugs, as well as genetically engineered
00:32:29.220
cannabis and other narcotics, are causing psychotic breaks.
00:32:35.600
We're having problems that we've never seen before, and people sort of think they understand
00:32:40.440
We must also be much better at detecting warning signs of evil, disturbed young men like the
00:32:49.880
We cannot rest until we get to the bottom of all of the sickness that we're seeing in
00:32:54.620
I will fight to restore our safety, and I will also fight to reclaim our freedom.
00:33:01.280
We're going to be able to walk down the street and buy a loaf of bread and come back and not
00:33:10.440
To defend our constitution and the rule of law, I will give you my word today that I
00:33:20.360
will appoint rock-solid constitutional conservatives to crush the communists from our federal bench.
00:33:36.200
Before Election Day 2024, I will once again release the full list of names from which
00:33:41.960
I select my appointments to the United States Supreme Court.
00:33:45.780
So everyone can see who I'm thinking about putting there.
00:33:49.120
I did that last time, and a lot of people said it made a big difference.
00:33:52.940
It will be an all-star roster of young, fearless, originalists in the mold of Justin Antonin Scalia,
00:33:59.180
great man, and the great lion of American liberty, Justice Clarence Thomas.
00:34:16.260
At the same time, conservatives can no longer sit by and wait for the courts to save America.
00:34:21.820
Our country is being plundered and ransacked by radical left barbarians who are trying to
00:34:27.500
burn down every right and every liberty that we hold so dear.
00:34:31.900
The next time we have power, Congress has to step up and stop this Marxist revolution in
00:34:39.360
We have a Marxist revolution going on, and I think you're starting to see it.
00:34:51.180
With your vote and with a Republican House and a Republican Senate, and we have a really
00:35:02.040
good chance at both, I will lead the great rebirth of American freedom.
00:35:07.000
We will build a future where we're free of crime and free of violence and free from fear.
00:35:13.180
There's fear where we are free from dependence on foreign countries.
00:35:20.100
We're so dependent on so many foreign countries, in particular China, where we are free from
00:35:26.540
the shackles of an unelected deep state, from corrupt intelligence agencies, free from war,
00:35:36.780
And in closing, I have to state, the USA is a mess.
00:36:03.060
Saudi Arabia, great people, have joined with Iran.
00:36:09.060
China, Russia, Iran, North Korea have formed together as a menacing and destructive coalition.
00:36:17.240
Our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest
00:36:24.240
defeat in 200 years and was unthinkable just a few years ago.
00:36:28.940
Unthinkable that that could happen, but it's happening before your very eyes.
00:36:34.320
And with me, not even a chance, just like Russia would have never invaded Ukraine and China would
00:36:41.080
not be having even a thought of raiding Taiwan.
00:36:45.620
You didn't hear about these things when I was president.
00:36:48.300
If you took the five worst presidents in the history of the United States and added them
00:36:55.400
up, they would not have done near the destruction to our country as Joe Biden and the Biden administration
00:37:16.420
And now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement.
00:37:23.180
But with all of this being said, and with a very dark cloud hanging over our country,
00:37:32.080
I have no doubt that we will, together as a group, make America great again.
00:37:44.820
Don't you have it, he said, we don't need the kind of man.
00:38:06.100
When the day comes, and you are down, and I'm in a bubble, and I've got tears around.
00:38:15.300
Just hold on, down coming, hold on, down coming.
00:38:39.480
They're done supporting companies that rake in hundreds of millions, sometimes billions
00:38:43.680
of dollars, while trashing the country that made their success possible.
00:38:50.800
But companies like Patriot Mobile are building a whole new economy, one which embraces the values
00:38:57.380
that made America the greatest country on earth.
00:39:00.040

Remember, stop giving monies to companies that hate you.
00:40:22.200
Okay, that was President Donald J. Trump's address to the 2023 Leadership Conference of
00:40:31.640
the NRA in Indianapolis, and they had everybody, I think, spoke today.
00:40:37.280
A couple by video, Governor DeSantis, Governor Nikki Haley, live Vivek Ramaswamy was live,
00:40:44.580
Mike Pence was live, so there's a lot going on today.
00:40:46.920
I want to go to Real America's Voice, Miranda Kahn.
00:40:50.280
Her show, she and Dr. Gina kicked it off with the speech at the beginning.
00:40:55.600
We finished with the speech, went over an hour.
00:40:58.160
Miranda, give us your assessment of Donald Trump.
00:41:00.720
Mike Pence kicked off today with the compare or contrast of President Trump.
00:41:05.120
Give us your assessment of what you saw today, ma'am.
00:41:10.920
Pence is thinking about running when he gets booed coming out on stage in his home state.
00:41:24.380
That's not a good look when you get booed by Hoosiers.
00:41:28.180
You know, it's in your home state, I would say.
00:41:36.680
But, you know, I was really impressed with this speech.
00:41:41.720
It's so different in tone compared to what we've seen at the rallies.
00:41:46.220
You've heard them over and over and over again, Steve.
00:41:49.640
It's about he would always kind of refer to himself more in third person and more about what he did.
00:41:57.360
This time he's saying what he's going to do and making it more about the American people, making it more inclusive, I would say.
00:42:10.700
I mean, he came right out and called bar a rhino.
00:42:17.280
What I liked about it, Miranda, I'd love your assessment, is that it wasn't just simply most of the other speeches contained themselves just to talk about issues that would be of interest to NRA members, you know, qua their membership.
00:42:33.340
The president did that, but also talked about the situation in the country and the world and what he was going to do about it.
00:42:47.240
He talked about China and Russia and saying that he is deeply concerned about how America looks on the world stage.
00:42:55.060
I mean, you heard him right there saying you could take all five presidents combined and they wouldn't do as bad of a job as Joe Biden has done.
00:43:02.020
And you know this, your show covers this probably better than any show here on this network.
00:43:07.120
You talk a lot about how America is being perceived on the world stage.
00:43:18.060
You have 70,000 vehicles that were left over and that the Taliban is fixing to probably use against us.
00:43:26.360
China, Iran, Russia, they're all working together.
00:43:32.540
Miranda, you know the president, and you know he's always very focused on the numbers and the polling.
00:43:40.680
Today, he actually took a minute to read the polls.
00:43:43.840
First off, I'd like your assessment of that part of the speech where he read them.
00:43:47.180
And more importantly, the polls themselves, which are, they have some blowout numbers.
00:43:52.260
I just put the Georgia state poll up and I put the Iowa poll up on Getter.
00:43:56.220
These numbers are just, I say these are blowouts.
00:43:59.760
You know, I don't put too much weight into the polls.
00:44:04.840
And it's funny because he always does when he's doing really well and not so much when he's not, right?
00:44:16.460
But if you do believe the polls, and I do look at real clear politics, and I do look at the average there, and he has been killing it.
00:44:22.940
I mean, if anything, the more they keep going after him, it's been great when it comes to fundraising and helping in the poll numbers.
00:44:30.600
I mean, DeSantis, he's been tanking over the past several weeks, especially with his comments that he said about the hush money.
00:44:40.380
What do you think about Governor DeSantis making the decision not to physically, you know, he was in Ohio yesterday.
00:44:51.060
I mean, how hard is it to go from Ohio to Indiana and then go to New Hampshire?
00:44:56.040
What's your assessment of him not physically being there?
00:44:59.640
I think that was definitely strategic, don't you?
00:45:07.660
I mean, a lot of people, if you're planning to run, you would certainly be there.
00:45:15.300
And I think he's afraid that maybe he would call him out.
00:45:19.240
But, Miranda, that's a pretty big comment coming for you.
00:45:22.680
I know you're down in Florida with Governor DeSantis.
00:45:26.340
Do you think Governor DeSantis is actually avoiding any kind of direct comparison, whether it's CPAC or now the NRA, the two biggest events of the kickoff to the primary season?
00:45:36.780
Do you actually believe he's avoiding President Trump?
00:45:41.080
Miranda Devine, how do we get you on social media?
00:45:51.520
Well, thank you for comparing me to Miranda Devine.
00:46:02.960
Miranda Devine, New York Post, and Miranda Conner, Real America's Voice.
00:46:09.160
Usually people call me either Miranda or Amanda, and they mix me up with Amanda Head.
00:46:23.600
And I got to interview your daughter, Captain Bannon, just before your show.
00:46:48.500
Maybe we'll surprise you guys with some merch next week.
00:46:50.520
I gave your daughter a T-shirt for you to sign when we were at CPAC, and the whole gang signed it.
00:47:00.340
Miranda Kahn said that Governor DeSantis is avoiding Trump.
00:47:11.420
Like I said, the speech was slightly over an hour today from Indianapolis.
00:47:19.860
Okay, we have Real America's Voice investigative reporter Ben Burquam.
00:47:25.380
Ben, we're going to hold you through the break.
00:47:27.740
We know we're going to talk about the new show, the new episode you've got coming up, I guess, Saturday night.
00:47:38.380
Got back from Panama just a couple days ago, and yeah, we're launching that next episode.
00:47:43.120
So it's nice to be home with the family for a few days.
00:47:46.720
I've got to tell you, with all the adventure you had done there, we're going to come back.
00:47:51.400
One of the most stunning things of anything I saw was an interview you gave, and you were talking about the former base we had down there in Panama.
00:48:00.640
The canal has been turned over to a left-wing communist NGO kind of headquarters for Central America, for really funneling people, trafficking people up to the United States.
00:48:12.560
We're going to take a short commercial break here in Real America's Voice, the war room.
00:48:16.840
We just had President Trump's incredible speech at the NRA.
00:48:25.280
He's got a new episode of this incredible series he's got.
00:48:30.340
We're going to talk to Ben after a short commercial break.
00:48:32.500
COVIDtaxrelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
00:48:43.900
COVIDtaxrelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
00:48:50.360
And COVIDtaxrelief.org just got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.
00:48:59.460
If you run a business, church, or nonprofit and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the government's CARES Act.
00:49:16.200
But beware of clickbait or pay upfront companies who make you do the work and take a huge percentage of your refund.
00:49:23.100
COVIDtaxrelief.org receives a low reasonable commission only after you receive your refund.
00:49:31.080
And with 300 CPAs and tax experts, no one is better at getting you the maximum benefit than COVIDtaxrelief.org.
00:49:40.200
Visit COVIDtaxrelief.org now because this plan expires soon.
00:49:51.100
The refund examples are not a guarantee and not all businesses qualify.
00:49:56.800
That's why you have to check today with COVIDtaxrelief.org.
00:50:02.100
A lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way woke corporations treat us and their employees.
00:50:10.360
We need to change the way the marketplace works.
00:50:13.240
And that starts with you and where you spend your money.
00:50:16.440
In less than a year, Public SQ has grown to be the largest platform of patriotic, freedom-loving businesses the world has ever seen.
00:50:25.140
Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates,
00:50:31.880
or a bank that would never counsel you for your political views, Public SQ is your guide.
00:50:39.080
There's also interactive, sensor-free community groups where you can connect with other local members.
00:51:04.280
Simply create an account and begin your search.
00:51:07.300
You can also list your business for free so your local community can start to support you.
00:51:12.600
We can't always change the world, but we can change how and where we spend our hard-earned dollars.
00:51:29.160
The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.
00:51:40.760
The platform for independent thought has arrived.
00:51:53.540
It's time to say what you want, the way you want.
00:51:59.160
On this episode of Law and Border, we'll see more of the real-world impact that these open-border policies are having on America.
00:52:09.540
From the high-speed pursuits that end in death to the morgues that are being filled along our southern border.
00:52:16.940
The vehicle was traveling northbound on a paved road, and then it became unpaid.
00:52:22.620
So he went into the unpaid road at speeds that made the officer back off.
00:52:31.300
And that's why you see the officer taking off the seatbelt, because he's already seen dirt way up ahead.
00:52:38.400
She crossed over probably around like 6 in the morning, and by 7, by 7.30 a.m., she was fighting for her life.
00:52:48.740
But it's time that America sees the permanent separation that their policies are creating.
00:53:05.420
Ben, tell us this latest episode, Law and Border.
00:53:11.320
Yeah, so this is a continuation of our previous episode, talking about permanent separation.
00:53:18.380
Last episode, we were looking at fentanyl deaths and angel families.
00:53:21.740
Now we're looking at the very people that the left claims to care about, the illegal aliens that are being trafficked across the border by the cartel.
00:53:32.800
And again, it's all money in the cartel's pocket.
00:53:35.140
So we're going to be down in La Jolla, Texas, part of the episode, with Lieutenant Casas of La Jolla, Texas PD.
00:53:40.580
We also go to Arizona with Sheriff Mark Daniels and then also Brooks County, Texas, to show you the morgues that are full.
00:53:48.540
And so this is, again, the continuation of that.
00:53:53.980
We're going to be doing a four-part miniseries on our time from the Venezuela border, Colombia, and Panama.
00:53:59.780
And all of those episodes, we're working on those right now.
00:54:02.880
And those will be coming in the next three to four weeks.
00:54:04.840
So this is kind of the focus of what's happening in America.
00:54:09.500
But then we're going to head down and show you what's happening down in Panama.
00:54:12.500
And as you mentioned, the United Nations, these leftist NGOs taking over land that used to belong to the federal government.
00:54:20.780
And as President Trump speaking at the NRA, it's the very same thing that we have happen in America.
00:54:25.460
They're trying to take guns away from the law-abiding citizens, just like you have in Mexico, where it's just the criminals that have the guns.
00:54:31.540
In Panama, same thing, very difficult to own a gun.
00:54:35.020
And that, you know, all of this stuff is connected, Steve.
00:54:40.920
When we talk about Monday, we're going to have this kickoff.
00:54:43.020
We're going to talk about it tomorrow morning on the show, too.
00:54:45.160
We have this kickoff of the next couple weeks on the budget, the debt ceiling.
00:54:48.960
That's how I go to birchgold.com slash ban and get the latest installment, the debt trap.
00:54:56.540
You need to be informed because next week kicks off the negotiations with his speech.
00:55:00.800
When Russ Vogue comes on here this morning and talks about woken weaponized and getting that out of the $6.8 trillion budget,
00:55:07.360
when Mike Howell of Heritage comes on and talks about these NGOs, remember he had the phones, that are exacerbating the flow through here.
00:55:14.360
When Ben and the team, Michael Yan, Oscar Blue, are down in the Darien Gap or outside the Darien Gap, and you see those NGOs then at Panama, that's all part of it.
00:55:26.720
That's the woken weaponized part of the government that you're paying for, that you're paying for.
00:55:31.240
And that's why that's at least the initial part we've got to cut out programmatically, got to cut out the budget.
00:55:37.160
Ben, just real quickly, how out of control is it that these – this is what I think frustrates people.
00:55:43.040
In their own tax dollars are going to this federal budget that pays these NGOs, and as you guys have seen, it's a very sophisticated system.
00:55:57.040
They're coordinated, they're organized, and they've set a superhighway to come for the invasion of our nation.
00:56:07.500
These organizations don't have the best interest of America in mind.
00:56:10.800
They don't have the best interest even of the illegals that they're trafficking in mind.
00:56:14.140
This is purely a money-making operation for the United Nations, for Catholic charities, for these leftist organizations, OIM, UNHCR, all of these tentacles of the globalist, communist left.
00:56:27.220
It's all about tearing down America, and they're profiting the entire way, and we're paying for it.
00:56:33.020
It's not like a foreign adversary is coming against us.
00:56:36.560
It's our own government taking money out of American citizens' pockets to put it into these enemies of our nation to destroy us from within.
00:56:53.620
Tomorrow night, it will air 8 p.m. Eastern, and it will re-air on Sunday at 11 p.m. Eastern.
00:57:01.300
You can get that, Real America's Voice, americasvoice.news.
00:57:05.180
You can watch it live on the app on your phone or on Roku, on Pluto, on all the streaming services.
00:57:14.700
How do people get to you and find your other work?
00:57:22.740
And then frontlineamerica.com for all of the articles.
00:57:35.260
We're going to break down this NRA speech, talk about a little bit of the polling, but also talk about what the NRA stands for.
00:57:41.960
It's clearly taken a couple of incoming over the last few years.
00:57:47.820
He's going to join us, very well known to this audience.
00:57:51.840
We've got some very disturbing footage from a U.S. Navy base there about what's happening to the children of Navy personnel.
00:57:58.820
We're going to go through all of that also out to Stanford University to talk about some of the radicals that are trying to take over, not just the Stanford campus and the Stanford educational system, but really start to infect this bacillus of wokeism into the American judiciary.
00:58:14.620
And I'll tell you, it is absolutely a massive problem that we've got to get on top of right away.
00:58:20.580
So we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:58:22.280
Make sure everybody goes to birchgold.com slash bannon.
00:58:28.820
This is going to heat up as Congress comes back.
00:58:30.800
McCarthy kicks off with a big speech on Monday.
00:58:39.020
You've got the buy one, get one free on the pillow.
00:58:43.620
Keep the factories fully operational up there in Minnesota in the Army Piercing Shell, Mike Lindell.
00:58:49.860
The second hour of the afternoon show of the War Room is going to commence momentarily.
00:59:30.140
You already know free speech is under constant attack by the swamp and their big tech allies.
00:59:35.080
They resell your communications and personal data while lecturing and laughing at you.
00:59:41.720
Unplugged Systems, a secure communications company, has an app suite you can install on any Android phone, including its own uncancellable app store.
00:59:51.440
