I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:23.000
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:30.000
I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:51.000
It's Tuesday 9, December, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
00:00:54.000
Let's go right to the White House and Brian Glenn.
00:01:05.000
Only, you know, he's the best salesman for everything Trump.
00:01:18.000
He is leaving at about four o'clock here from Joint Base Andrews.
00:01:24.000
going to the Pocono area there in Pennsylvania,
00:01:28.000
taking a helicopter to finally get to the Mount Airy Casino there.
00:01:35.000
A lot of the affordability talk going into next year.
00:01:39.000
Now, see, we all know that he inherited double digit inflation from the Biden administration.
00:01:45.000
That's on every service, every good, every product.
00:01:47.000
We saw it take place over the three, four years in the Biden administration.
00:01:51.000
So President Trump is doing everything he can to lower inflation.
00:01:55.000
Now, granted, he has done a tremendous job of getting a lot of the consumer goods down to, I think, you know, pre-Biden inflationary numbers,
00:02:09.000
Now, what's interesting about this particular trip, Steve, is in an area,
00:02:13.000
it's in a congressional district where we have a freshman Republican who just won their election last time by only about 1.5%.
00:02:25.000
And that is next to another very tight swing congressional district.
00:02:30.000
So the location of this trip today is very strategic in terms of the midterms,
00:02:36.000
but also just in terms of echoing his economic policy to bring down the affordability here in this country
00:02:45.000
post a very tragic double digit inflation under Joe Biden.
00:02:50.000
My recommendation, since inflation is accumulative, is don't fall into the affordability traps.
00:02:56.000
The Democrats are trying to goad you into this.
00:03:01.000
But more importantly is these huge bets we've made on the big, beautiful bill, the supply-side tax cut,
00:03:07.000
and the redoing of the world's commercial relationships through trade and tariffs.
00:03:11.000
We've both designed, one's a forcing function, the tariffs, the other is an opportunity function,
00:03:18.000
to drive capital, massive capital investment into plant and equipment in the United States
00:03:23.000
to return us to be a manufacturing superpower, of which Pennsylvania is a perfect example.
00:03:28.000
If we continue to hammer that, and it is going to take some time,
00:03:31.000
I think if you show people where the progress is, people are going to understand that within a year, you know,
00:03:37.000
he's done this in the first 10 months is extraordinary what he's accomplished, right?
00:03:42.000
Now this is going to take fruition in next year.
00:03:46.000
Scott Besson, who's no radical, as you know, Brian, you know him well,
00:03:49.000
has said, hey, I don't think we're having a recession next year.
00:03:52.000
And I think that this capital investment is really going to kick in probably in the second quarter.
00:03:58.000
Is that where the president, I know the economic team is talking about this,
00:04:01.000
is the president's speech today also going to lay out those types of things,
00:04:04.000
which are, to me, more even fundamental than just talk about affordability.
00:04:14.000
That's an excellent point, Steve, and I do agree.
00:04:17.000
I think that's going to be a part of his messaging in here.
00:04:20.000
And Susie Wiles was on a podcast, I think, yesterday,
00:04:23.000
talking about this plan of getting Trump back on the road, if you will,
00:04:27.000
almost like a campaign stop stumping for some of these other congressional candidates
00:04:35.000
So to your point, I think messaging is very key in all of this
00:04:38.000
and really laying it out to people that we're so used to these overnight fixes on problems
00:04:43.000
that this is going to take a little bit of time to correct,
00:04:46.000
being the manufacturing coming back into these key states like Pennsylvania,
00:04:50.000
which we saw so much steel manufacturing being reinvested in that state.
00:04:55.000
So to your point, I think on the short term, we'll see some of the things like energy,
00:05:03.000
But on the long term, it's really that reinvestment in these states that are so crucial for these big businesses
00:05:09.000
coming back in there, which is these tariffs deals have done.
00:05:12.000
So, well, I think you're spot on on that messaging.
00:05:16.000
That takes place by the night at, by the way, at 6 p.m.
00:05:26.000
Where do folks follow you during the day with any updates,
00:05:29.000
particularly when you get a copy of the speech or the remarks?
00:05:34.000
I'll put that up for you at BrianGlennTV on X, at BrianOnTruthSocial on Instagram and Facebook as well.
00:05:44.000
So if you want to tune into Real America's Voice on my socials and also just tune into programming,
00:05:48.000
we're going to have copter footage, the whole bit going straight to this casino in Pennsylvania.
00:05:54.000
We'll have everything for you right here on Real America's Voice.
00:05:59.000
We'll cover it at 5, the helicopter with Brian Glenn, the entire team,
00:06:03.000
and then John Solomon picks up for us, so we'll cover the speech tonight.
00:06:15.000
And President Trump is at his combative best, okay?
00:06:26.000
Some leaders in Europe are a little freaked out by what your posture is.
00:06:32.000
No, they should be freaked out by what they're doing to their countries.
00:06:45.000
And it gets to a point where you can't really correct it.
00:06:48.000
There'll be a point, and it's very close to that point.
00:06:52.000
It will mean that they're no longer going to be strong nations.
00:07:01.000
Because the people coming in have a totally different ideology.
00:07:09.000
They'll be much weaker and they'll be much different.
00:07:11.000
And what will that mean for our relationship with them?
00:07:16.000
He's got a totally different ideology of what he's supposed to have.
00:07:20.000
And he gets elected because so many people have come in and they vote for him now because,
00:07:27.000
But I hate what's happened to London and I hate what's happened to Paris.
00:07:33.000
You know, sir, it's sometimes hard to tell when you say these things.
00:07:37.000
Do you intend to send kind of a message of tough love to our allies to push them to make reforms?
00:07:43.000
Or do you think that many of them are just weak and you don't really want to be allies with them?
00:07:49.000
But I also think that they want to be so politically correct.
00:08:00.000
I mean, I look at a lot of the trade, you know, situation that's going on over there.
00:08:06.000
But Europe, they want to be politically correct.
00:08:14.000
It sounds like you want to see some pretty massive changes.
00:08:17.000
Well, I think they should get the people out that came into the country illegally.
00:08:25.000
So Sweden was known as the safest country in Europe, one of the safest countries in the world.
00:08:29.000
Now it's known as a very unsafe, well, pretty unsafe country.
00:08:40.000
Look, Steve, the important thing about that interview, and this is Donald Trump at his best.
00:08:46.000
OK, this is this is where he absolutely a full front in your face about pushing the America first agenda.
00:08:57.000
In fact, it was the journalist who was backing down.
00:09:01.000
The beauty about this interview, Steve, is that it will land with the European peoples.
00:09:07.000
That's the thing you hear politicians talking and they talk about in slogans and sound bites.
00:09:13.000
And it never really lands in resonates with people because it never really reflects their daily perception of lived life, of lived experience, of reality.
00:09:23.000
That's not what you get with Donald Trump when he's at his best.
00:09:27.000
What you hear from Donald Trump when he's at his best is saying the truth as it corresponds to your existence.
00:09:34.000
That when you step out your front door, look down the street, what he says resonates with your empirical data.
00:09:42.000
And of course, when it's Donald Trump, he's saying what no one else will say, will have the courage to say.
00:09:49.000
And I think that's part of the background of what he was saying about the European elites being dominated by political correctness.
00:10:01.000
People often, especially here in continental Europe, they often misunderstand Donald Trump and they misunderstand him.
00:10:08.000
President Trump said that he gets on well with the European leaders.
00:10:13.000
You can see the rapport that he has because he's a personable guy when he's with them.
00:10:19.000
And they go back to their countries and you see the smiles and the arm embraces and the air kissing and all the rest of it in the Oval Office.
00:10:26.000
And then they go back, they schlep back to the European capitals and say, they say, look, see, see how well we get on.
00:10:33.000
We'll roll him. We'll get Donald Trump to do what we want and submit to our agenda.
00:10:40.000
Very personable guy, but he's absolutely in his own skin when it comes to defending what he thinks about.
00:10:49.000
That's why they've stepped it wrong to some extent with regards to Ukraine.
00:10:54.000
And it's why what we're talking about for the U.S.'s national security strategy has taken them all by surprise because they believed that had schlepping over to D.C.
00:11:05.000
and having the back slap is an indication that President Trump isn't serious about pursuing his America first agenda agenda.
00:11:17.000
And I hope Marco and the people around President Trump see now that these people are not dependable enough.
00:11:22.000
You can't do security guarantees and lock the United States in because we're people that step up for what we agree to.
00:11:29.000
You can't do you can't have security guarantees and you can't particularly have a sovereignty guarantee.
00:11:35.000
And Marco sitting there saying we want to ensure we're going to ensure there's no more wars.
00:11:41.000
They're going to flip on a dime of Solinsky to throw the toys out of the pram is just not acceptable.
00:11:47.000
If I was President Trump, who I think has had the patience of Job with these people, it's like, OK, you guys go figure it out.
00:11:54.000
Ben Harnwell in Rome, where do people get you for all your beady eyed commentary, sir?
00:11:59.000
My beady cynical eyes stare at the daily events like a hungry serpent staring at a somewhat oblivious fattened mouse.
00:12:13.000
Just type in my surname at Harnwell and I have a whole list of provocations awaiting your perusal.
00:12:26.000
We've got about a minute before you got to go to break.
00:12:29.000
And hearing President Trump in that great interview with Dasha Burns.
00:12:33.000
Yeah, I enjoyed that, how these 20 year olds have the chutzpah on geopolitics to go up against someone who was elected by the American people.
00:12:42.000
Just total lack of respect on the moral front and the knowledge front.
00:12:48.000
But I think President Trump does have to explain to the nation, everybody knows we're missing some ingredients.
00:12:58.000
And so there's a missing piece there that has to do with rare earths, geography, something or the hawks keeping them there with NATO forces.
00:13:07.000
But I wish he would come forward and explain that piece so the American people can understand, because the solution seems very simple to us.
00:13:20.000
I need your thinking with Megan's very important article about the evangelical movement, one of the backbones of the Trump movement.
00:13:27.000

Talk to somebody with the East Texas accent that's a United States citizen about all the
00:15:06.000
And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat.
00:15:17.000
This is why central banks throughout the world are flocking to gold at record rates.

00:17:40.000
You get the ultimate guide for investing and gold and precious metals, and you get access
00:17:46.000
As we talk about President Trump's going on the road, there's all this geopolitical,
00:17:55.000
His trade deal today in Pennsylvania is going to make the pitch for, hey, look, the big,
00:18:01.000
The trade deal is to force manufacturing back here or have people pay.
00:18:10.000
If you don't manufacture it here, you're going to have to pay to get access to this market.
00:18:16.000
As part of this coalition, people are talking about, you know, you've got the tech bros.
00:18:20.000
One of the central elements of it are the evangelical Christians.
00:18:27.000
And in fact, the evangelical Christians are called what the last bulwark.
00:18:31.000
What was that phrase that people use to talk about the evangelical Christians as far as
00:18:38.000
Yeah, it's you'll commonly hear them referred to as the lone bulwark, because as you look
00:18:43.000
through polling on any number of conservative issues, you'll see that, you know, most other
00:18:51.000
Even if you look at, say, Catholics on abortion, you'll find that half of Catholics are pro-choice
00:18:57.000
But evangelicals, specifically white evangelicals, again and again are the last men standing.
00:19:03.000
They are there and they are saying, we are a force.
00:19:05.000
We're not going to be moved on immigration, amnesty.
00:19:11.000
We're not going to be moved on marriage or transing the kids.
00:19:14.000
So that is why they've been referred to that, because again and again, I would argue they
00:19:18.000
are the voice of moral sanity and they just refuse to get with the liberal program.
00:19:24.000
So you've been you've been getting our audience up to speed.
00:19:28.000
Both evangelicals and people are not evangelicals about this pressure inside the evangelical
00:19:34.000
spectrum of the church or that part of the church.
00:19:38.000
And I think it's very important for people to understand how we got here.
00:19:42.000
There's an article and it was in Commonweal magazine that that is a, I think, traditionally
00:19:47.000
Catholic, pretty progressive left wing, but it's called The Road Not Taken.
00:19:52.000
And I gave that to you because it's obviously a very deeply thought through piece, but it
00:20:00.000
And I want you to walk us through it and particularly bring it up to this contemporary where you're making
00:20:05.000
the argument that, hey, the evangelical church is under tremendous pressure from the progressive
00:20:13.000
And maybe some people that don't have the best intentions of Christianity are the American
00:20:22.000
I'll tell you, it was a blast from the past because I spent 15 years working for the man
00:20:28.000
who is known as the architect of compassionate conservatism.
00:20:31.000
That's Marvin Olasky, who is now editor in chief of Christianity Today.
00:20:36.000
So Marvin sort of came up with this idea or furthered and promoted the idea of compassionate
00:20:44.000
And the concept was that the evangelicals past that formed and were very successful with
00:20:51.000
the moral majority, people like Pat Robertson, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, that that was a
00:21:01.000
Instead, we should present ourselves as compassionate conservatism.
00:21:06.000
So obviously, the assumption in that phrase is that the conservatives of the Reagan era
00:21:12.000
And so we needed to distinguish ourselves from them in some way.
00:21:16.000
And there's some argument about, was this just a slogan that the Bush campaign picked
00:21:22.000
up on to say, hey, we're compassionate conservatives?
00:21:29.000
Because what the Bush administration then did is they established the Office of Faith
00:21:36.000
And what that did was it ostensibly allowed evangelical and faith-based ministries to compete for
00:21:43.000
government grants for various welfare programs.
00:21:45.000
But what it really did was it created an avenue to make all of these large evangelical institutions
00:21:55.000
So much of that was established during that Bush era.
00:21:58.000
And so today, when you flash forward, the argument became to be compassionate conservatives.
00:22:04.000
And you actually hear this from John Fea, both in that article and in an interview that
00:22:11.000
They argued that the problem with the conservatives past is they weren't compassionate because they
00:22:16.000
didn't prioritize global interests above American interests.
00:22:21.000
In fact, I was so fascinated by this article that Fea gave, I jotted down a comment that he
00:22:27.000
made in it where he talked about how the big, beautiful bill was going to kill compassionate
00:22:34.000
Like that was going to be the final nail in the coffin.
00:22:37.000
And one of the reasons that he argued for this was that he said they were big government
00:22:46.000
And he suggested that this was a positive thing.
00:22:49.000
And in fact, he said that it was a failure of conservatives today, of those evangelicals,
00:22:56.000
that lone bulwark, that they no longer see their prime purpose in politics to benefit the
00:23:07.000
And so that was so interesting to me that they openly admitted that they see a problem
00:23:12.000
with evangelicals viewing their government's responsibility as first being to its own citizens
00:23:18.000
Now, Fea argues in the article that compassionate conservatism failed and that we didn't end up
00:23:28.000
We did take that road and we see the fruit of that road today.
00:23:31.000
And in fact, the reason that I think Trump became such a favorite of evangelical voters
00:23:37.000
and why they have stuck with him is they saw the wages of that compassionate conservatism.
00:23:44.000
And what it did was to decimate America's own sense of order, its own immigration policies.
00:23:58.000
And it sent so much of our American largesse and wealth over to other nations where it's
00:24:04.000
It doesn't even help the people it's intended to help.
00:24:06.000
And so rightfully, at some point, American evangelicals went, ah, actually, this compassionate
00:24:15.000
And it didn't even work well for the nations that we were supposedly helping.
00:24:19.000
The reason I wanted to have you on today is that President Trump's going to Pennsylvania.
00:24:24.000
He's going up to two congressional districts that are going to be central to holding the
00:24:29.000
And in Indianapolis, they did get the vote 6-3 last night, not 5-4 to look at this redistricting.
00:24:35.000
We are really at the start of what is going to be an absolutely brutal year in American
00:24:42.000
As we bring a close to this year and start next year, is the evangelical movement, when
00:24:47.000
they have all these different pressures, right?
00:24:49.000
And the people arguing about the history and as compassionate conservatives, and are you
00:24:53.000
really putting forward the message of Christ by getting involved in politics?
00:24:57.000
Is this difference between the leadership and a lot of the base?
00:25:01.000
Is the evangelical church and evangelicals in the pews, are they still as motivated to
00:25:10.000
Because if we don't, the math is pretty brutal.
00:25:13.000
If we don't have a big turnout, and I think this is one of the reasons you got so much progressive
00:25:17.000
pressure on the evangelical part of our church, is that if the evangelicals do not turn up in
00:25:23.000
this midterm in pretty huge numbers, that evening in November is going to be pretty grim for
00:25:30.000
President Trump, the MAGA movement, and the nation as a whole, ma'am.
00:25:35.000
Yeah, and what you're getting at there, Steve, is really important, and that is that the GOP
00:25:40.000
does not win elections without the evangelicals.
00:25:43.000
I've said this before, it's a drum that I'm going to keep banging, and that is that even
00:25:47.000
left-leaning outlets like the Atlantic have rightly called them America's most powerful
00:25:53.000
The Republicans cannot sleep on the evangelicals.
00:25:56.000
They can't assume that they're going to have the level of support that they need to win,
00:26:00.000
and we actually have some, you know, somewhat concerning information if we look at the last
00:26:05.000
election in 2024, and that was the fact that, yes, evangelicals still supported Donald Trump
00:26:11.000
at about 80%, but their voting rates were down about six to eight points.
00:26:17.000
So a lot of them stayed home, and that was something that you saw these compassionate
00:26:21.000
conservative, and I put that, you know, phrase very much in quotes because I don't think
00:26:30.000
But, so you saw outlets like Christianity Today that has championed that concept and whose
00:26:37.000
editor-in-chief literally wrote the book on it.
00:26:39.000
They put out articles arguing just before the 2024 election, hey, you don't have to vote.
00:26:47.000
You know, the most moral thing for a Christian to do might be to just sit out the election.
00:26:51.000
And so I would argue they were somewhat successful in that.
00:26:54.000
We saw six to eight percent more evangelicals sitting out the election in 2024 than did in 2016.
00:27:01.000
So I would say that's a warning bell for the Republicans that, you know, don't count on them getting out the vote.
00:27:07.000
I don't think they're going to vote for Democrats, but they might not turn out.
00:27:11.000
So you need to ensure that that base is enthused and it's getting out.
00:27:15.000
And, you know, part of why I think this compassionate conservatism and, you know, the leaders of that,
00:27:21.000
your Russell Moore's, your Marvin Alasky's, have been such a problem is because what that partnership
00:27:26.000
with the federal government did back in the early 2000s was it created a mechanism so that, you know,
00:27:33.000
all of these evangelical institutions essentially became an arm of the federal government.
00:27:37.000
And that opened the door to staffing them with your sort of think tank Christians.
00:27:41.000
Think you're never Trumpers like Pete Wenner or the late Michael Gerson.
00:27:45.000
So those are the type of people who took over those institutions, even at places.
00:27:50.000
Ever since COVID, the great pandemic, millions of Americans have started buying preparedness supplies,
00:28:01.000
But there's a big mistake most people make with their emergency food supply.
00:28:05.000
They don't have any way to cook it in a real emergency when the power is out or the grid is down.
00:28:11.000
That's why our friends at My Patriot Supply created their Black Friday Survival Special.
00:28:17.000
It comes with a four week food supply, plus $150 worth of free gifts, including everything you need to prepare your emergency meals,
00:28:27.000
like a cook stove, fuel and fire starters, plus a water purifier, bug out bag and much more.
00:28:33.000
It's the complete survival kit your family needs to write out natural disasters, civil unrest or anything worse.
00:28:41.000
Also, it makes a great Christmas gift, but it's only available through Black Friday.
00:28:47.000
So head to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon to check out everything that's included.
00:28:53.000
With all the uncertainty in the world right now, we simply can't afford to be unprepared.
00:28:58.000
So go to MyPatriotSupply.com slash Bannon and get prepared and get prepared today.
00:29:11.000
Senator Hawley, I think, is on the floor in the meetings where we get him as soon as he's free.
00:29:18.000
If not, we'll do it tonight or tomorrow morning.
00:29:21.000
He's got a lot to say about artificial intelligence, as you can imagine.
00:29:25.000
Also, there's a whole bunch of stuff going on in the Senate right now in spending.
00:29:29.000
So Basham, you got me more worried than ever now.
00:29:32.000
I wanted to have you on here, so I'm not worried, but I'm worried.
00:29:39.000
If I'm sourcing those guys and you tell me that if I start putting some money into some
00:29:44.000
guys who are already drifting anyway, because I say right now, and I say this as a Catholic,
00:29:49.000
if you didn't have James Dobson and Pat Robinson and Jerry Falwell and from my beloved Commonwealth
00:29:55.000
of Virginia, Robertson and Falwell came, you wouldn't have had a country.
00:30:00.000
They were as important in their time to saving this thing as Trump is today.
00:30:06.000
I mean, those individuals stepped into the breach and awakened America to the moral decline
00:30:14.000
So you tell me now that 80%, if I'm on the opposite side as a strategist, you tell me,
00:30:21.000
hey, we put some money in here and we do this and we get some of these guys and we send them
00:30:26.000
You said that they all want to be at the big universities and all want to be at the big
00:30:30.000
institutions and get the book deals and get the speaking engagements and get on all the
00:30:34.000
If I can get 20% of the evangelicals, the lone bulwark, if I can take 20% of our most fervent,
00:30:43.000
dedicated Christians and get those not to vote, to vote for progressives, and I can take the
00:30:48.000
overall support for Trump down by 8%, that's a massive victory right there.
00:30:53.000
And if those numbers are anywhere close to reality right now, looking forward to what's
00:31:00.000
coming, I can tell you, folks, you think you've got a dogfight, you've got a much bigger dogfight
00:31:05.000
than that because some of these congressional districts are going to come down to turning
00:31:11.000
So what is being done for us to carve back the 20% we lost and get the denominator up, to
00:31:19.000
that 8% to get the level set, because right now we're not even talking about what used
00:31:24.000
to be one of my favorite topics, the 40 million Christians in the country who just don't register
00:31:33.000
And I hate to say this, but there's not a lot being done right now.
00:31:36.000
You know, I know of some small organizations, the Center for Baptist Leadership being one,
00:31:42.000
trying to reform the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., the Southern Baptist Convention,
00:31:51.000
And I do think that's concerning because what people don't realize is that you have all of
00:31:56.000
these sort of pseudo-evangelical initiatives and organizations that are funded not just
00:32:03.000
by the federal government, but also by these large left-wing foundations like the Tides Foundation,
00:32:09.000
And they have created these, they're political Christian groups that are coming into churches
00:32:16.000
and basically saying, hey, it is unchristian to pursue political power.
00:32:22.000
Which one, you know, that's not true biblically.
00:32:24.000
Pursuing political power for righteous ends is perfectly biblical and it's a good thing to
00:32:30.000
So, you know, they play kind of games like that.
00:32:32.000
But, you know, these are organizations like the J29 Coalition, like something called the
00:32:38.000
After Party that Russell Moore and David French are running.
00:32:41.000
And these are coming into churches trying to convince Christians that they either need
00:32:45.000
to vote against their interest or sit out in order to follow Christ.
00:32:50.000
So it's a really insidious, manipulative thing.
00:32:53.000
And the thing that does concern me is no, I don't see a lot of pushback on the other side.
00:33:00.000
The one positive is that you can say that it has taken a lot of time to even chip away
00:33:06.000
So again, Barna found that in 2024, six to 8% evangelicals stayed home.
00:33:12.000
But what I can tell you is that the rank and file are much more conservative than their
00:33:18.000
And I think they have seen the wages of this compassionate conservatism that took hold
00:33:25.000
And they see the chaos, particularly when it comes to immigration and what we have sent
00:33:31.000
They started to go, hey, actually, we don't want this.
00:33:33.000
And, you know, just really quickly, I found that quote from John Fea.
00:33:37.000
And I just want to read it to people so that they understand the ideology coming from these
00:33:45.000
He said, the whole idea of America first means that America is essentially selfish.
00:33:50.000
It takes care of its own interests before it takes care of others.
00:33:58.000
It is supposed to take care of its own citizens before it looks to the needs of citizens of
00:34:05.000
So it was just sort of mind blowing to me that he openly admitted that that is what they
00:34:10.000
They want the United States government to prioritize other nations and other people above its own
00:34:16.000
So, you know, yes, it is a concerning situation because I think that evangelical vote has been
00:34:23.000
And if you don't mobilize them, you are not going to win elections.
00:34:26.000
And it will be a wipeout, I think, probably in the midterms if something isn't done to raise
00:34:32.000
Do you get any sense that people in the House, I mean, like Johnson, I give Johnson a very
00:34:39.000
Anybody in the, is the House, NRCC, the House leadership, White House, is anybody making an
00:34:45.000
act of things, hey, look, we had some issues and the great comeback of 24, 20% of the people
00:34:55.000
Has there been any rejuvenation of this in your mind?
00:35:01.000
So I'm going to tell you quite honestly, Mike Johnson has some strong associations with
00:35:06.000
some of these organizations that I find concerning.
00:35:08.000
We have spoken before about the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern
00:35:14.000
You know, there has been a fight within the SBC to reform them and that's happening.
00:35:18.000
But Mike Johnson served with the ERLC before and they are a very squishy, compromised organization
00:35:25.000
that has taken money from these left-wing foundations and has promoted this idea that Christians backing
00:35:31.000
Donald Trump are grasping for some sort of unrighteous power.
00:35:35.000
So I do have a little concern about him and his associations there, not because I necessarily
00:35:40.000
think he agrees with their program, but because there's these friendship networks and there is
00:35:45.000
these professional relationships that there is a tendency not to want to defy them and
00:35:51.000
not to speak openly about what organizations like that are doing in terms of trying to, you
00:35:57.000
know, muddy the waters on who evangelicals should support politically.
00:36:05.000
You're clearly going to be a central player in all this going forward.
00:36:08.000
Where do people go to get your writings, your books, and most importantly, what you're putting
00:36:13.000
up on a daily basis on Twitter and other social media?
00:36:18.000
So if you want a background on what's going on with evangelicals and how we got here and
00:36:23.000
how the compromise happened, I'll recommend my book, Shepherds for Sale, How Evangelical
00:36:30.000
You can get that at Amazon, Target, Christian bookstores, anywhere books are sold.
00:36:35.000
I tend to hang out on X a lot, a little too much.
00:36:38.000
So if you go to X, you can find me there at at Meg Basham.
00:36:41.000
And you can find me on Instagram at at journalist Megan Basham.
00:36:45.000
And of course, all my writing at the Daily Wire.
00:36:58.000
It was during my time in prison that when you were co-hosting so much that we introduced
00:37:03.000
the Warren Posse to Megham, just absolutely incredible.
00:37:08.000
James Dodson, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell were giants, were giants.
00:37:13.000
If it had not been for those three men and what they and Ralph Reed and some of their
00:37:18.000
acolytes that came from that, the Tony Perkins, the Ralph Reeds.
00:37:21.000
And we don't agree, obviously, with Tony and Ralph and these guys on everything, particularly
00:37:24.000
certain foreign policy issues that will leave for another time.
00:37:28.000
But if it was not for those three giants, you wouldn't have America.
00:37:35.000
And President Trump is the leader in leading us forward.
00:37:38.000
And look, you know, and sometimes we totally disagree with President Trump's policies.
00:37:44.000
If you didn't have Donald Trump, you would not have a country, full stop.
00:37:51.000
The same with those three gentlemen, Dotson, Robertson, and Falwell.
00:37:55.000
And I say that as a Catholic, that those three, and I remember my parents, my parents were
00:38:07.000
They said at the time that particularly as the church was going through these issues,
00:38:17.000
What would they tell us today, sir, about where we are and what we need to do, particularly
00:38:25.000
There is a huge fight because the progressive left understands this.
00:38:28.000
They understand that there are a lot of patriots, a lot of Americans.
00:38:32.000
This country was built upon folks like this, the Minutemen, the militias.
00:38:36.000
That's why they're after the evangelical church, sir.
00:38:40.000
Yeah, they thought there was moral rot back then.
00:38:46.000
Those three giants you mentioned are giants because they spoke about God, not values or
00:38:54.000
You go back to Albert Schweitzer and back in his search for the historical Jesus made
00:39:01.000
When human beings go back and try to look up who Jesus is and create Jesus, guess what
00:39:10.000
So today, it's not surprising you find a globalist, socialist, Mamdani Jesus, who's in favor of
00:39:24.000
Your favorite theologian in mind, John Calvin, defined faith as a firm and certain knowledge
00:39:37.000
So God is absolutely compassionate, but God is also holy.
00:39:43.000
So holy, you can't stand on the holy ground, right?
00:39:47.000
And so that's the work of Christ is allowing us the approach to God, the Father Almighty and
00:39:54.000
This is totally absent from the mainstream media and all these folks talking about compassion,
00:40:01.000
They don't want to find God, the God of the giants you just mentioned.
00:40:06.000
So last weekend, there was a guy in the New York Times who wrote a guest piece on St.
00:40:10.000
Augustine and everybody's just raving about Augustine.
00:40:13.000
And they said, we got to, you know, search for our soul.
00:40:16.000
And the most important thing you can do is to fight against Trump to enrich your soul.
00:40:24.000
No, but this is what, this is what they're doing.
00:40:32.000
God is going to ask you how much you fought this demon named Trump.
00:40:36.000
The next, the next day, Russ Douthat writes a piece saying, I want more Christianity in
00:40:44.000
You're at the paper of record and you never write about the chief attributes of God or Christianity
00:40:51.000
The dominant theme in the New Testament is the kingdom of God.
00:40:56.000
I don't see the New York Times educating Christians on what faith is, affirming certain knowledge.
00:41:03.000
They all get clever and have their witty banter.
00:41:08.000
Everybody ought to get this little thing you can find online, Gapminder.
00:41:19.000
And you'll find a curiosity that's verified by a Berkeley economist, Bradford DeLong.
00:41:26.000
The countries that had economic growth first were all, roughly speaking, Protestant and
00:41:44.000
Not to mention human rights lingo that the rest of the world's religions don't have.
00:41:48.000
Well, this, you will never see this in an educated paper like the Washington Post or the New
00:41:55.000
These are the key institutions that created democracy.
00:41:58.000
And it came, roughly speaking, following the Protestant Reformation and John Locke and
00:42:03.000
then our founders who were all Protestants and the heads of every university were Protestants.
00:42:11.000
In fact, they want to get rid of that tradition so they can have their socialist, globalist, elitist
00:42:26.000
And skip with all the virtues and values until you first got your arms around who God is.
00:42:46.000
So it's worth keeping your hands on, not somebody else's.
00:42:53.000
The $1 million triple lock protection that's available to you for just pennies a day.
00:43:10.000
Maybe you missed the last IRS deadline or you haven't filed taxes in a while.
00:43:16.000
The IRS is cracking down harder than ever and this ain't going to go away anytime soon.
00:43:29.000
They know which agents to deal with and which to avoid.
00:43:35.000
Settle your tax problems quickly and in your favor.
00:43:39.000
Their team has helped clear over $1 billion in tax debt.
00:43:47.000
Even if your books are a mess or you haven't filed in years, Tax Network USA can help.
00:43:59.000
Talk to a strategist and finally put this behind you.
00:44:13.000
Make sure you tell them, Bannon, you'll get a free evaluation.
00:44:19.000
Do not let letters from the IRS or your failure to file work on your nerves anymore.
00:44:36.000
Brad's going to be with me as our co-host in the morning.
00:44:41.000
In fact, the 5 and 6 o'clock shows today are going to be amazing, too.
00:44:45.000
But, Dave, and I realize it's not totally your line of country, but we're going to carve out an hour, maybe in the 6 o'clock, maybe in the 11 o'clock hours going forward.
00:44:57.000
I want to do Dotson, Robertson, and Falwell, and bring people up to speed, particularly not for their work.
00:45:06.000
President Reagan, they saved the country in a moment when the country needed saving.
00:45:12.000
They performed much of what President Trump is doing right now.
00:45:17.000
You then had the Bush, you know, Junta, all that.
00:45:20.000
These three gentlemen are giants, and I don't think they get enough credit in the MAGA move today because I just don't think a lot of people just don't know the work, but we'll do that.
00:45:29.000
Until that time, Dave, what's your social media?
00:45:33.000
Tomorrow, you and I are going to go through some economics.
00:45:36.000
Particularly, we're going to analyze the President's speech today at 6 in Pennsylvania.
00:45:41.000
I'm sure he'll be running a little late, and we'll break it down, particularly the difference between the supply side bet, and I just don't think they ought to get sucked into this trap on affordability.
00:45:52.000
You've got great news about there, about what's happening, but don't play the Democrats.
00:45:59.000
Dasha Burns, I thought he did a great job with her.
00:46:10.000
Just go to Brad Economics on Getter and X, and I'm going to post that gapminder.org.
00:46:17.000
Please, there's more information in that little data series, and it's beautifully done.
00:46:26.000
Gapminder.org, China and India, the explosive growth, two red balls on that dart.
00:46:32.000
Red dots on that chart will scare the living daylights out of you.
00:46:41.000
Trevor Comstock, you're also going to join me in the 6 o'clock tonight, Trevor, but give us a taste of the Maha movement and Sacred Human Health, one of my favorite little companies.
00:46:55.000
So today, with the time I had, I just wanted to touch on one of our more popular products, which is our multi-collagen supplement.
00:47:01.000
And lately, we've been, for some reason, just been getting amazing feedback in regards to it from customers who have been using the product for a little while.
00:47:08.000
But for those who don't know, most people don't realize this, but collagen is the most abundant protein in our body.
00:47:14.000
And it's what does pretty much everything from keeping your skin firm, your joints flexible, as well as your hair and nails strong.
00:47:20.000
But unfortunately, after the age of 25, collagen or natural collagen production does start to slow down quite a bit.
00:47:26.000
So, of course, this can lead to common signs of aging like wrinkles or weaker joints or even digestive issues.
00:47:32.000
Also, you know, collagen just plays a huge role in general for overall health.
00:47:37.000
Yet, unfortunately, I've said it before, but modern diets really don't provide enough of it.
00:47:41.000
So that's why supplementing with a high-quality collagen source can be extremely beneficial.
00:47:46.000
At least with our collagen, what's unique about it is it's formulated with three sources of collagen and gives you types of one through five collagen, which is the full spectrum.
00:47:55.000
Whereas a lot of other collagen products you see on the market usually just have one source of collagen or one type of collagen.
00:48:01.000
So again, we give you the full spectrum, which is pretty remarkable.
00:48:04.000
And with that, you know, as I mentioned, it does everything from supporting the healthy nails, skin and hair, all the way to joint health and gut function.
00:48:12.000
So I really recommend that product. Like I said, the War Room Posse specifically has been loving it lately.
00:48:19.000
Now, and what I want everybody to do is go to the website.
00:48:22.000
You'll see the reviews, just like you see over at Warpath Coffee, see the reviews.
00:48:29.000
