Summary
In the wake of the death of an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Saturday, new details emerge about a previous encounter with federal agents a week prior to the fatal shooting of Alex Preddy. ICE agents may have been collecting information on protesters and agitators, and had details about Preddy again before that fatal shooting on Saturday.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
You have some new reporting this morning about Alex Preddy.
00:00:04.260
Yeah, well, we are learning, along with my colleague Jeff Winter,
00:00:07.000
that Alex Preddy had an encounter with federal officers a week before his death.
00:00:12.100
We've also learned that federal immigration officers have been collecting information
00:00:15.860
on protesters and agitators, and they had details about Alex Preddy again
00:00:23.840
Now, about this earlier incident, he, according to sources,
00:00:30.600
observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot
00:00:38.940
Now, Preddy later told this source that five agents tackled him
00:00:43.160
and one leaned on his back, which led to a broken rib.
00:00:52.780
Now, Preddy was later given medication consistent with treating a broken rib.
00:00:57.200
According to records that have been reviewed by CNN,
00:00:59.880
we've also learned that ICE agents had received a memo from a Department of Homeland Security official
00:01:07.580
asking that they include information on protesters and agitators that they encountered into a form.
00:01:16.620
Now, it's unclear whether Alex Preddy's information was part of this form intake,
00:01:21.260
but this comes within the context of the Department of Homeland Security's repeated warnings
00:01:26.500
about federal law enforcement officers at risk as they do immigration enforcement operations.
00:01:32.780
And just this morning, the department publicized an online tip form to share information about people
00:01:41.580
Now, of course, we've heard from some Trump officials who have said that some database
00:01:45.260
would be created for those arrested for impeding law enforcement.
00:01:49.040
We also saw a video over the weekend of one encounter in Maine where an officer says
00:01:54.400
that the protester is going to be inserted into a database.
00:02:01.040
The Department of Homeland Security, however, has declined that any such database exists.
00:02:05.480
But all of this to say about Alex Preddy, that we know that he had an encounter with ICE a week prior,
00:02:12.140
that sources tell me and my colleague Jeff Winter that he had a broken rib from that encounter
00:02:17.260
and that it appears that he was known to federal law enforcement prior to that deadly shooting on Saturday.
00:02:24.040
I should also note, Wolf, we do not know if when the officers had tackled him to the ground on Saturday,
00:02:30.480
whether he knew whether they knew who he was in that moment.
00:02:34.300
Greg Bovino is out, Tom Holman is in, and DHS Chief Kristi Noem spent two hours in the Oval Office last night
00:02:44.340
The move is one in a series of walkbacks from Donald Trump lately.
00:02:48.780
First, it was the intervening in Iranian protests, then it was taking Greenland,
00:02:53.200
and now it's cooling things off in Minneapolis.
00:02:56.240
We will see, though, if federal law enforcement actually does leave the city.
00:03:01.640
But the change in leadership there is still significant.
00:03:05.720
Holman met with Governor Tim Walz this morning as the governor stressed the need for impartial investigations
00:03:11.140
into the deaths of both Alex Preddy and Nicole Good,
00:03:15.460
a demand that is not just coming from Democrats.
00:03:17.980
Republicans are increasingly uneasy about all of this as well,
00:03:22.500
as are federal immigration officers who have been speaking anonymously to reporters
00:03:26.940
to say they believe in the mission, but not the leadership,
00:03:30.860
which, in their words, is going too far, putting agents in danger,
00:03:35.040
not training or vetting new recruits, and losing credibility.
00:03:39.440
A statement that Governor Walz's office has put out after that meeting that you noted
00:03:48.800
Governor Walz met with Tom Holman this morning and reiterated Minnesota's priorities
00:03:53.820
in impartial investigations into the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents,
00:03:59.140
a swift, significant reduction in the number of federal forces in Minnesota,
00:04:02.580
and an end to the campaign of retribution against Minnesota.
00:04:07.660
MS Now is reporting there will be no civil rights investigation into the killing of Alex Preddy.
00:04:13.760
Instead, DHS will investigate both its officers and Preddy.
00:04:17.620
Ken Delaney joins us in a moment to explain that.
00:04:21.080
At the same time, there are lots of calls in Congress right now for Kristi Noem to be fired or impeached,
00:04:27.640
along with multiple editorials from conservative outlets calling for the same,
00:04:37.340
Here's what he said a moment ago on the White House lawn.
00:04:44.460
He's meeting with the governor and he's meeting with the mayor.
00:04:53.000
Some of you are coming with me, but I'm going to Iowa.
00:05:05.240
Mr. President, do you know that Alex Preddy's death was justified?
00:05:12.380
Well, you know, we're doing a big investigation.
00:05:18.240
I want a very honorable and honest investigation.
00:05:22.740
So they think they're operating in the normal world where, as we've seen, police aren't always
00:05:33.420
We have had bad police incidents, many bad police incidents.
00:05:36.840
But as a general matter, police respond to the public with restraint and professionalism
00:05:43.480
If you're out there in the public, you know that's the norm for police.
00:05:46.960
And so if you're protesting now, you think you're living in that norm.
00:05:51.660
You're living in a world where these individuals, many of them, many of them are terribly trained.
00:05:57.740
Many of them believe they're on some sort of ideological crusade.
00:06:01.540
And they're not being held accountable in the slightest.
00:06:04.080
They're being granted an enormous amount of discretion, an enormous amount of immunity.
00:06:09.120
And all that is adding up to is authoritarian violence, which is chaotic.
00:06:14.440
Chrissy Noem is a despicable, corrupt, pathological liar.
00:06:20.100
We've seen her slander, not just one, but two American citizens, patriotic Americans who
00:06:27.260
were killed without justification on the streets of Minneapolis in the last few weeks.
00:06:34.960
She never should have been confirmed to begin with by Senate Republicans.
00:06:38.740
And House Democrats have called for her to be fired immediately.
00:06:45.200
And in the event that she is not terminated, we are prepared to initiate impeachment proceedings
00:06:54.400
Was there an assumption, Adam, that the people that were going to go out in Minnesota to protest
00:06:59.000
that these were all seasoned operatives, that they were all agitators, they were part of
00:07:04.640
organized groups who were never going to support the administration no matter what, and that
00:07:09.820
the American public would see that and they would side with immigration enforcement?
00:07:14.740
Yeah, I mean, I think there was an expectation that there would be a bunch of rabble-rousers who
00:07:19.380
might respond with violence, and the administration would therefore have a popular mandate to crack
00:07:25.960
Instead, what these people did was engage in a strategy of observation, avoidance of direct
00:07:34.720
All these confrontations that we've seen have been initiated by them in terms of being physically
00:07:41.120
The people who they confronted were filming them or were in the area.
00:07:46.220
But they have focused on protection and observation rather than engaging in any sort of act of violence.
00:07:56.740
And I think that has been very frustrating for the Trump administration, which wanted sort
00:08:00.900
of the spectacle of riots that they could use to crack down even further.
00:08:05.720
And the way that you know that that's the case is that they keep insisting that there are violent
00:08:09.240
riots everywhere, even though that's not what's happening.
00:08:11.820
And there's no, you know, there's literally no footage attesting to that allegation.
00:08:16.760
Are Minnesotans going to just move on and forget about this?
00:08:20.600
Well, I can't say what they're going to do in the future.
00:08:23.080
What I can say is that they have been extraordinarily effective at countering ICE up till now.
00:08:29.300
And you can see that in their frustration and the fact that Bovino had to leave.
00:08:33.540
But I want to emphasize that, you know, Holman is, you know, he has the same views.
00:08:38.600
And I think as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House directing immigration policy, this is a man who thinks that American immigration policy went wrong when we started allowing nonwhite people to immigrate to this country.
00:08:51.200
And he has said explicitly, you know, when you allow, quote, third world immigration, you know, it ruins the country.
00:08:56.500
That is not an agenda of lawful but conservative immigration reform.
00:09:04.220
He wants to make life so miserable for people of color that they leave.
00:09:08.620
And what I saw in Minnesota was families that had been in hiding for weeks that other Minnesotans, out of the goodness of their heart, were delivering food to so they could stay indoors and not be assaulted, you know, by masked men armed by the federal government.
00:09:26.300
And that is just, you know, whatever you think about immigration, that is not an agenda of lawful, conservative immigration enforcement.
00:09:38.340
And as long as that is the immigration agenda, you cannot have a normal state of affairs in this country anywhere.
00:09:59.800
You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:10:07.440
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:10:11.360
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:10:16.120
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:10:21.520
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:10:24.680
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:10:34.940
Tuesday, 27th, January, Year of the Lord, 2026.
00:10:45.400
Welcome to the late afternoon, early evening edition of the War Room.
00:10:49.580
I've got some great folks who are going to get on here.
00:10:55.260
So today, I don't know, after blinking yesterday, looks like they dig in a little bit.
00:11:06.400
Of course, you heard you're not going to get where it war with these people.
00:11:19.300
And they're sitting there going, oh, this is ethnic cleansing.
00:11:28.240
You can't change their mind and they can't change our mind.
00:11:31.260
So it's going to have to be political will that gets this done.
00:11:34.200
And quite frankly, they're taking to the streets.
00:11:36.420
The Trump administration blinked because Trump's getting very bad information and the apparatus
00:11:43.820
sent 3,000 folks out there and then abandoned them.
00:11:47.820
No DOJ, no FBI, no Department of War, no Insurrection Act, no backup.
00:11:59.780
Well, the four points you wrote in the letter that you said and committed to that he was going
00:12:04.400
to have to live up to, you just walked away from the letter.
00:12:09.800
You got to give up Sanctuary City, the criminals, the voter list.
00:12:13.100
Although we didn't think that was nearly enough, even the modicum of giving wall something
00:12:17.300
you had to commit to, nothing to get rid of Bovino.
00:12:23.320
And now Nick Sorter's reporting up on, and if Mo and Grace can put that in the chat on his
00:12:28.040
Twitter, he's saying the president didn't know that they had told Bovino, you're not
00:12:39.680
You just got to go back to the El Centro sector where you're from.
00:12:48.220
And supposedly the president didn't know any of that.
00:12:51.340
I just, I just, you know, I'm just putting home in there and sending and taking him out.
00:12:55.600
So this thing, the communication guy got a lot better.
00:12:59.560
And you have to surge some prosecutors and Treasury Department and IRS and FBI needs to
00:13:07.920
go for the crimes, the in your face crimes that have been committed.
00:13:20.680
You think any of these guys were at war with us?
00:13:22.860
And another thing I keep hearing, you know, people are tweeting out all this massive battle
00:13:28.820
I've been there back in the late 70s, early 80s.
00:13:44.340
And still, you go around the world picking a fight in response to what Netanyahu wants
00:13:49.660
The Israel First Project can put on hold for a minute.
00:13:53.000
Let Israel First deal with the Palestinian state that's been created by the Board of
00:13:57.420
Peace in Gaza with Qatar and Turkey until we start going.
00:14:03.140
Even a concept of bombing Tehran right now is about as insane as you can possibly get when
00:14:09.820
you're an open color revolution revolt on an insurrection in Minneapolis, of which they
00:14:19.140
And Kristi Noem, you know, Kristi Noem, hey, she did what she was, she was did what she
00:14:31.520
We have 15 million illegal alien invaders in this country and the country supports getting
00:14:40.340
I understand it's maybe not the most pleasant work in the world, but nobody asked for this.
00:14:57.360
There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas,
00:15:03.960
but Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver.
00:15:09.660
That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birch Gold will send
00:15:19.460
Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce.
00:15:25.380
You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge.
00:15:30.200
That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold.
00:15:32.960
With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less.
00:15:41.220
Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical
00:15:52.020
And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for
00:15:59.260
What a great way to teach them about saving smartly.
00:16:02.780
Just text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 to claim your eligibility for this offer.
00:16:09.780
Again, text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898 today.
00:16:15.540
Because Birch Gold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December
00:16:29.960
Imagine having the world's most connected financial insider feeding you vital information.
00:16:35.500
The kind of information only a handful of people have access to.
00:16:39.280
And that could create a fortune for those who know what to do with it.

If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief
00:17:56.720
This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.
00:18:02.800
They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.
00:18:06.920
That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating
00:18:15.320
That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.

And done with debt, knows how to use this to your advantage.
00:18:24.280
They monitor lender trends and understand the year-end pressure on creditors.

They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf.

He gave a master class yesterday on the 5 o'clock show to walk through exactly what's happening
00:19:37.480
Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire.
00:19:41.160
That's a deeper analysis over the last four years, how we walked through why gold, the
00:19:46.520
destruction of the U.S. dollar and gold as not just a hedge because it's been a hedge
00:19:54.100
Obviously, people piling into this as a hedge, but also as a new financial asset class.
00:20:02.640
I've just approved the graphics for it, so it'll be out shortly.
00:20:14.980
By the way, I didn't get a chance to give a hat tip to the team, both Denver and my own
00:20:20.620
The morning cold open was a masterpiece, the way they broke it and did the different sections
00:20:32.180
Where are we, sir, in this process of the Red-Green Alliance war against the American Republic?
00:20:42.980
I mean, there's no other way to view it as they have forced a negotiation when there's
00:20:50.580
I think the far left and the rioters and Tim Walz and all of the above have figured out
00:20:55.640
that they kind of have the leverage right now because the administration has shown that
00:21:00.340
the far left media, the public outcry and the Republican Senate and all the other rhinos
00:21:07.960
And so long as that's the case, they're not going to be able to win this.
00:21:11.980
What do you trade away in Minnesota is the real question.
00:21:20.800
And so I don't know how you come out of a negotiation without acknowledging the rioters
00:21:26.780
veto that they have over enforcement operations, without lessening the footprint, and without
00:21:32.420
inspiring Antifa across the country that if you want ICE out, you riot.
00:21:41.380
I hope he isn't pushed into a corner where the forces want him to take a deal that he
00:21:47.760
The only deal that's acceptable is the deportation of illegal aliens.
00:21:54.620
By the way, this is why I have the brilliant Mike Howell on to start the 5 o'clock show
00:21:58.140
because Mike Howell says Antifa's going to get inspired.
00:22:01.380
Also, what's going to get inspired is these radical elected officials.
00:22:06.780
The AG in Arizona, they've already picked up on the tactics that work in Minnesota, right?
00:22:12.420
And they're trying to implement them in Arizona and these other states right now that have
00:22:16.560
heretofore, we've had, you know, in Texas and other places, pretty good working relations
00:22:20.480
because we're doing these raids all over the country.
00:22:22.340
But they're going to take the lessons, the lessons of what they learned on the streets
00:22:27.480
and with these government officials in these signal chats and all that, that is going to
00:22:35.160
There's no negotiation because it's non-negotiable about all of them got to go.
00:22:42.020
And so that is the business model of the Democrats.
00:22:44.540
They don't exist as a political party unless they have illegal alien invaders, Mike Howell.
00:22:49.960
Mike, you've also come up with something I got to get to this because I said, hey, there's
00:22:53.980
got to be a whole of a government approach here.
00:22:56.220
You got to have DOJ, you got to have FBI, FBI, Department of War.
00:22:58.760
You got, you can't send 3,000 guys out like the French sent to Den Ben Phu and then, hey,
00:23:14.220
You have to surge in there and you have to stand your ground and say, we're going to do
00:23:17.900
Talk to me, but because the government, the FBI, DOJ, they're not focused on Minneapolis.
00:23:30.800
Yeah, this one's really going to take it home that the left has a much more comprehensive
00:23:38.580
I mean, they're thinking well beyond how the right thinks of things where not even DHS
00:23:45.240
It's abundantly clear now that the infighting there has spilled over into, you know, the
00:26:22.800
Well, thank you very much, and I'm thrilled to be back in the great state of Iowa
00:26:30.580
with so many proud, hardworking American patriots, which is what you are. It's an amazing
00:26:39.140
state. What a place. Boy, do we have some victories here. Were they the greatest?
00:26:45.280
So exactly two years ago this month, it was the people of Iowa who put us on a rocket ship
00:26:52.540
back to the White House. That was a quick one. After a rigged election, we had a rigged election.
00:27:03.720
I said, do we do it again? And I said, I think we better do it again. Not too many people
00:27:10.260
would have said that, but we did so well the second time. I said, well, we won twice. We
00:27:16.200
got to do it a third time. Should we do it a fourth time? Four victories.
00:27:27.380
Four victories. We got the right team over there. There's the right team over there.
00:27:33.380
I said, geez, that would be easy for you. That wouldn't even be work. But you came out by the
00:27:39.320
thousands in a cold and snowy winter evening. Remember that beautiful evening? And together
00:27:44.960
we won the Iowa caucuses in a 30 point landslide. That was great. I'll never forget it. It was
00:27:52.660
so freezing. You think it's cold now? That blew it away. Whatever happened to global warming?
00:28:00.500
No, it's, you know, it's like one of those things. But it was the coldest night. I remember
00:28:08.380
it was way below zero. And they say, sir, you don't have to come till 10 or 11 o'clock
00:28:13.320
because a caucus takes longer. Then I got to call it like, let's say the polls close at
00:28:19.160
seven. Sir, you've won. I said, I won what? They told me 10 o'clock. They can't. And they
00:28:25.880
said, you won so much. They just called it at one minute after seven. Right. So we made
00:28:34.960
the journey. And we made that journey through all the cars and everything else. And we made
00:28:41.320
a speech. But what an evening that was. Then in November, we won the state by a massive landslide.
00:28:47.060
That was incredible in the election. And we then went on to win all swing states, all seven
00:28:54.380
of them. They said seven swing. Well, he could win four of them. He's doing very well. But
00:28:59.060
we won seven. We won the Electoral College 312 to 226. We won the popular vote for the
00:29:06.920
first time of any Republican in many decades by millions and millions of votes. And we won
00:29:13.420
a category that's very important. We won 86 percent of all counties in America, 2,700 to 525.
00:29:22.540
How about that? Other than that, we didn't do too well. So now we're back where it all started to
00:29:33.820
celebrate the greatest first year of any administration in American history. They say
00:29:38.120
that even the radical leftists say only we did a lot of things. Twelve months ago, Joe Biden handed
00:29:44.900
us a mess. We inherited the legacy of record high inflation, the highest inflation in the history of
00:29:52.320
our country. They say the fake news. Oh, that's a lot of fake news. No, the fake news, the fake news
00:29:59.520
said it's 48 years. I remember recently I said the highest inflation, the worst. I believe this,
00:30:07.860
by the way, worse in the history of our country. They said it wasn't the worst. It was 48 years.
00:30:13.100
I said, that's OK, too. Somehow that sounds even worse than when you say the history, right?
00:30:19.280
48 years. I accepted that. But I think it was in the history. A mass invasion of our border and our
00:30:26.220
country was being laughed at all over the world. We were being laughed at. We were a joke.
00:30:32.040
We're not a joke. We're not being laughed at anymore. But today, just after one year of
00:30:46.760
President Trump, our economy is booming. Incomes are rising. Investment is soaring. Inflation has been
00:30:52.700
defeated. Our border is closed. Totally closed. And America is respected all over the world like
00:31:04.100
they've never been respected. One year. I thought it would take us two years. I guess I'm following
00:31:09.220
in the great path of John Deere. We got the chairman of John Deere here. Chairman and CEO. That's pretty
00:31:13.960
good. I even signed a John Deere hat for him. He said, I'm going to put this in the museum. I said,
00:31:21.580
that's good. No, it's a great company. Great company. And you just said you're opening up two
00:31:26.620
massive plants because of tariffs. You're opening up one in North Carolina, one someplace else.
00:31:33.900
And then you're expanding all over the place. You're doing a great job. I bought a lot of John
00:31:39.480
Deere. I bought a lot of John Deere. It's a great company. It's an honor to have you. Thank you very
00:31:44.660
much. This has been the most dramatic one year turnaround of any country in history. In terms
00:31:50.780
of the speed, I really thought it would take us two or three years to do what we're doing. You know,
00:31:54.760
the greatest, the number one country anywhere in history, in the world, anywhere in history for
00:32:00.800
investment coming into the country. And it's amazing. And it's because of tariffs. And it's also because of
00:32:07.340
the fact that we had such a tremendous November 5th, that November 5th brought spirit back to our
00:32:12.540
country, came back. You know, one thing I think which is so, it's so important is if you remember
00:32:19.840
a year and a half ago, we couldn't get people to enlist in the military, any of them, Army, Navy,
00:32:24.580
Air Force, Marines, any of them, the Coast Guard, Space Force. I love Space Force, right? We couldn't
00:32:31.380
get them. And even police departments, they couldn't get anybody with a uniform that represented the
00:32:36.180
country. You couldn't get them. And today we have the single greatest recruitment numbers in the
00:32:42.440
history of our military. The police forces are loaded. Law enforcement is loaded up. And everybody wants
00:32:50.180
to be a policeman, a fireman. They want to be, they want to be in the military, any branch. I mean, we, we
00:32:57.460
literally, they couldn't get them. A year and a half ago, nobody wanted to be in the military. Now everybody
00:33:02.180
wants to be in the military. It's an amazing thing that's happened, an amazing turnaround.
00:33:06.180
And all because we have a president who does something very simple, puts America first. Right?
00:33:26.480
So under my leadership, economic growth is exploding to numbers unheard of.
00:33:38.140
You know, the great big, beautiful bill, which is no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
00:33:56.320
One of the fake news said he did that because he doesn't want to pay tax on his Social Security.
00:34:06.960
Despite the fact that we've just truly started, it's just kicking in because we inherited such a horrible situation with all of the high prices and the inflation and everything else.
00:34:17.860
And by the way, the open borders, we had millions.
00:34:28.120
And since the election, the stock market has set 52 all time highs, adding nine trillion dollars in value to your savings, retirement account and 401 case.
00:34:38.960
So 401k people, I mean, of which you got a lot of people.
00:34:54.080
They say this, you know, the good stock market.
00:34:56.420
They say, well, this stock market, you know, they can't get they just try so hard.
00:35:00.180
This stock market doesn't affect the middle class.
00:35:06.900
What about the fact that they're making more salary than they've ever made?
00:35:26.280
I made a lot of people rich that I don't even like.
00:35:28.740
I got a lot of people that I don't like at all.
00:35:34.360
But after four years in which Biden got less than one trillion dollars in new investment,
00:35:39.760
He took in substantially less in four years than one trillion.
00:35:44.000
We secured commitments for a record breaking plus 18 trillion.
00:35:49.040
So in one year, we did over 18 trillion, and he did less than one trillion.
00:35:59.240
Just over one year ago, under Sleepy Joe Biden and the radical left lunatics, we were a dead country.
00:36:07.900
I'll tell you, one year ago, a little more than one year ago, we were a dead country.
00:36:17.660
A couple of months ago, a few months ago, he said, a year ago, you were a dead country.
00:36:22.280
Now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world.
00:36:25.600
And today I'm pleased to announce one more historic investment.
00:36:31.860
The great American company that we just talked about is doing so much.
00:36:39.380
I buy so much equipment from so many of the people in the you know, we have a lot of very successful companies in here.
00:36:45.320
But I know it's a very, a very special deal because John Deere is doing 70 million dollars in factory in North Carolina.
00:36:56.600
And I think it's going to pay off very, very big.
00:37:00.220
And if it doesn't, I have nothing to do with it.
00:37:03.060
But if it does, I'm going to take I'm going to take full credit.
00:37:07.580
But what it is, is an excavator factory, as I understand it.
00:37:12.900
And it's going to be the only excavator factory.
00:37:16.280
In other words, excavators, we all know I love those excavators.
00:37:22.940
This is going to be the only excavator entirely made in the United States of America.
00:37:38.500
I hate to tell you, but they're all going to be coming, too.
00:37:41.420
You can have some competition, but you'll be ahead of them.
00:37:44.280
If congressional Democrats had their way this year, would right now be facing the largest tax hike.
00:37:50.480
So they wanted to give you, this is what I was running against, the largest tax hike in the history of our country.
00:37:57.180
I wanted to give you the largest tax cut in the history of our country.
00:38:01.100
And if they won, this country would be cratering right now.
00:38:09.620
So I've cut a record number of job-killing regulations.
00:38:16.260
I've cut hundreds of thousands of federal jobs.
00:38:21.020
Now, if I didn't do that, our numbers would be even more through the roof.
00:38:28.580
In order to have decent numbers, they hire a million people.
00:38:32.440
All of a sudden, you're down to three and a half percent.
00:38:48.140
They all got jobs in the private sector making twice as much money as they made from the federal government.
00:38:55.980
So a year ago, they hated me, and now they love me.
00:38:59.820
But it includes dozens of burdensome regulations that were crushing our amazing farmers.
00:39:16.740
You know, it was a crazy election because we were doing great against Biden.
00:39:26.840
We had millions of people pouring through, and she was the border czar.
00:39:35.320
And, you know, when you're running a campaign, you're focused on the person you're in.
00:39:46.680
All of a sudden, he's way down in the polls, down by a lot.
00:39:49.760
And all of a sudden, they take him out, and they put a new...
00:39:57.980
You take him out, and you put a new fighter in.
00:40:02.960
The stuff that happened to me can only happen to me.
00:40:06.000
But I repealed the Biden's EPA ridiculous water restrictions to keep federal bureaucrats
00:40:17.760
I terminated the so-called diesel exhaust fluid requirement.
00:40:27.040
Saving family farmers more than $1 billion a year.
00:40:41.700
You'd have to go to MIT to get somebody to fix your car with all the crap they had on
00:40:47.020
it in order to save a quarter of a glass of this much little tiny bit of gas.
00:40:55.020
And I'm going to do that, I think, for tractors, too, because we're going to get the tractors
00:41:03.940
Where you don't have to be a PhD in order to start your tractor, in order to keep the
00:41:13.020
I think it makes the environment dirty, actually.
00:41:16.680
And very importantly, on day one, I kept my promise to the people of Iowa and abolished
00:41:22.600
the insane electric vehicle mandate, which would have obligated you to go out and buy
00:41:29.520
an electric car, but it would have obliterated a thing called ethanol.
00:41:48.020
After years of the United States getting ripped off by other countries on trade, I'm standing
00:41:54.600
up for the workers and the farmers of our country like no other president has ever done.
00:42:05.880
I probably have this little piece of ear back, you know, could have.
00:42:10.020
And I wouldn't have to listen to lunatics like this up there.
00:42:30.340
very quickly but under sleepy joe we had the largest trade deficit in world history but in one year
00:42:42.920
i've slashed our gaping trade deficit by a staggering 77 percent how about that what about
00:42:51.720
that that's pretty good right 77 nobody's ever seen that you know if you slash your trade deficit
00:42:59.340
by one percent you're like a genius they say oh he's very electable he's not so electable i did 77
00:43:06.040
i did something else favored nations on drugs we now will pay we now are paying the lowest price
00:43:14.000
anywhere in the world for drugs in other words matching favored nations it's called most
00:43:19.360
favored nations every other president tried for it they didn't try very hard they didn't get anything
00:43:24.620
i got it done i got all the nations to agree you think that was easy
00:43:28.020
i said if you don't agree we're going to put tariffs on you they said we agree we agree
00:43:34.320
so you'll have a pill that cost ten dollars as an example cost ten dollars in london cost 130
00:43:45.020
dollars in des moines and now it's going to cost 20 dollars think of it you'll go from 130 dollars
00:43:51.980
down to it's the biggest price reduction of prescription drugs in history and
00:44:00.040
but i have a huge impact on your health care too i was very proud of it and you know the fake news i
00:44:09.040
can't get them to talk about it think of it i got the biggest price reduction in history on drugs
00:44:13.980
pharmaceuticals i can't get these guys to talk about it it was page like 22 in the new york times a
00:44:20.920
little story i just got the biggest i can't believe it if a democrat got a half a point down
00:44:26.220
this is like hundreds of depending on the way you want to calculate it you could say it's an 80
00:44:32.280
percent reduction or you could say it's a thousand percent reduction you could say whatever you want
00:44:37.280
but it's the biggest reduction in history by many many times i did something because we were
00:44:43.820
subsidizing the entire world we were paying 10 times in many cases more money than the rest of
00:44:50.820
the world and i said it wasn't fair and i got it done and everyone said before they said you'll never
00:44:57.360
get other countries to agree they said yeah i said yes i will they said you'll never get the other
00:45:03.860
countries to agree i got the drug companies that was not easy i want to tell you but that was not so bad
00:45:09.360
but they even told me we'll agree to it but you'll never get the other countries i said 100
00:45:14.580
percent i will why wouldn't i get them and i called macron of france i said you got to double the price
00:45:20.220
of your drugs he said no no no i will not do that what was the story with his glasses the other day
00:45:27.120
what the hell was that all about but anyway but i got them all i don't want to go into a loss
00:45:33.440
bottom line i said i'm gonna increase tariffs by 25 i'm gonna charge you 25 percent tariff if you
00:45:39.420
don't do it they said we will do it we would be why don't you ask we'd love to do it so i got
00:45:44.560
something done that no other president could have gotten done and no other president i don't even
00:45:49.520
think they tried you want to know the truth do you think biden was thinking about it he just was
00:45:54.660
thinking about how the hell to get off the stage
00:45:56.580
remember the guy could never find it you have so many ways you can jump off the front if it really
00:46:04.040
gets you got stairs all over the place the guy could never find his way off the stage this was not
00:46:09.560
a this was not a good sign but i made new fair trade deals with countries covering half of all u.s
00:46:18.500
you you do know they're paid agitators right they're paid they get paid you know do you ever
00:46:34.500
see their signs you know we used to have protests and you'd have guys making a sign in a basement
00:46:39.440
these are all paid agitators that's all they are they get paid to go and they don't even know what
00:46:45.020
when they interview them why are you here i don't know they have no idea they're paid
00:46:51.140
insurrectionists really in some cases they're sickos but i've made new fair trade deals with countries
00:46:57.820
covering half of all scoring giant wins for the farmers ranchers and agricultural producers like
00:47:03.740
no other president has ever done that's why i got such a tremendous vote from the farmers that i love
00:47:09.080
you too i do love you too so japan will now allow the united states to supply up to 100 percent of
00:47:19.920
automobile ethanol automotive ethanol and import large amounts of aviation biofuels from the united
00:47:28.800
states that's great for you that was part of the deal that we made the united kingdom will import
00:47:34.520
nearly one billion dollars of ethanol that's part of their deal australia is allowing american beef into
00:47:43.500
its market for the first time in 20 years did you know that and beef is doing great and we got to get
00:47:50.240
the prices down a little bit and they're starting to come down pretty much china has agreed to purchase
00:47:54.580
over 40 billion dollars of u.s grown soybeans you know that you're selling them
00:47:58.940
they're selling and i went to president she and he's upping it i mean he's it's 40 billion dollars
00:48:07.240
the european union will dramatically increase purchases of american pork dairy and soybean oil
00:48:12.980
they never did that before they're all doing things that they never did before because you have a
00:48:17.740
certain president that's a little bit different from the president said yeah
00:48:20.760
and nations from cambodia to thailand to the philippines and indonesia are eliminating all trade
00:48:31.500
barriers to agricultural products your agricultural products had trade barriers that didn't allow them
00:48:39.060
to be sold in countries that are now saying oh please we'd love to accept your product so that's great
00:48:44.120
it's going to be you're going to see it starting to kick in now for the farmers and to further help our
00:48:48.760
farmers recover from the cat it's really a catastrophe of the biden years what a period of years that we
00:48:55.340
had we had a country that was just dead we had a country that was just not respected by anybody
00:49:02.340
we had a guy who didn't know where the hell he was do you think he worried about his farmer at night no
00:49:11.640
he just wanted to go to sleep just this is what we had this is what we had in our fake election
00:49:19.600
we recently issued 12 billion dollars in farm relief we gave him far because you were screwed
00:49:25.440
by other countries i said how much is the number to our great secretary of agriculture brooke rollins
00:49:32.040
he's doing a great job i said brooke what's the number and she said 12 billion dollars and i wrote a
00:49:39.320
check for 12 billion dollars because we have so much money from the tariffs coming in so you couldn't
00:49:44.820
have done that before we're a rich country now i hope we win that supreme court case you know we have
00:49:49.220
people that are china oriented they're people from literally that very china oriented and foreign
00:49:56.380
country oriented trying to stop that but we'll get it done one way or the other we're gonna do if we
00:50:02.700
have to do it a different way we'll do it but we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars
00:50:08.540
we're we're doing amazing nobody can even believe it foreign countries cannot believe what's happened
00:50:13.920
they're studying us but it won't work but i'm also working hard to expand your markets domestically and
00:50:21.000
in the campaign i promise to support e15 all year round
00:50:26.040
yes yes should i do it kauffman should i do it i did i promise e15 all year round if i get elected
00:50:43.560
and uh i want to let you know and we'll start right now he's going to put out a statement a week
00:50:50.180
ago i said hold it i'm coming to iowa to make his speech i'm not going to put out a truth i'm not
00:50:55.580
going to put i want to be there in person to tell them the people of iowa to know that i am
00:51:03.500
trusting speaker mike johnson who's great and leader john thune who's great that's house and senate
00:51:11.320
to find a deal that works we've got it for farmers consumers and refiners including small and midsize
00:51:18.560
refiners in other words to get e15 approved and they're working on it they're very close to getting
00:51:26.260
and china will be sending me a bill very shortly supporting year round e15 to my desk very quickly
00:51:43.680
i hope you remember us for the midterms you know the worst thing about the midterms is the fact that
00:51:53.100
no matter what happens the people that win the presidency you win the even if you're a good
00:51:58.520
president i think we had the best first year of any president ever maybe they say but even if you
00:52:04.780
have it a great it's like in the last 50 years they've won it twice can you believe it if something
00:52:12.020
happens there's a screw turns with the voters so even if it's a democrat or republican whoever wins
00:52:18.580
the presidency has a hard time with the midterm if we lose the midterms you'll lose so many of the
00:52:24.860
things that we're talking about so many of the assets that we're talking about so many of the tax cuts
00:52:29.660
that we're talking about and it would lead to very bad things we got to win the midterms i mean i'm
00:52:34.980
here because i love iowa but i'm here because we're starting the campaign to win the midterms we got
00:52:39.060
to win the midterms that means senate and it means house
00:52:44.080
gotta win them it's crazy you know you think it would be like a 50 50 deal or something it's like
00:52:52.040
for some reason and this is democrat too democrat wins the presidency for some reason they lose the
00:52:57.580
midterms now maybe they don't campaign as hard because if kim i don't know but uh i campaign hard
00:53:03.660
we gotta we gotta win the midterms so remember that you gotta get out and you gotta vote the
00:53:08.120
midterms are very important we're gonna we're gonna really work hard on winning the midterms we
00:53:13.360
have great candidates uh again senate and house we have great candidates we gotta win them and
00:53:19.400
we have candidates that rule with common sense not this craziness you know we're not going to be

00:53:33.340
open borders the worst is open borders because you know the the i take care of things and you know
00:53:43.060

00:53:48.640
taking criminals and that they allowed into our country where the jails are opened up remember
00:53:54.140
the jails the prisons all over from all over the world they're open up the congo all over south
00:54:00.340
america venezuela they open up their jails we got to get them out i mean it's it's really really
00:54:05.940
we can never forget what that group of morons did to this country we can never forget and we've got
00:54:14.860
to win the midterms that's why we've got to win the midterms as we bring trillions of dollars pouring
00:54:21.240
into our country from overseas we're also making america affordable again a problem caused totally by
00:54:26.800
the crooked joe biden administration i mean you know i inherited this problem they say prices are too high
00:54:33.440
they just took over they said i'll never forget i come here i'm in three days i have a news conference
00:54:39.560
three days into my administration what about the price of eggs they've gone up like five times more
00:54:45.120
i said i just got here i didn't know about it i'm sorry and we got eggs down very quickly remember
00:54:50.840
but i i was standing there i'm so happy i just won them i thought the press was going to be so nice
00:54:57.500
and some lunatic right there actually what about the price of eggs eggs have gone up i said tell me
00:55:05.180
give me a little because i don't know i just got here i'm sorry but i fixed it now i fixed it pretty
00:55:11.100
much all but it's going to go down even further no but they they caused the problem
00:55:16.020
and then they came up you know it's a word that they came up with affordability every time you hear
00:55:23.040
the word remember they're the ones that caused the problem and uh first time you heard about it was
00:55:29.680
like a few months ago this election is all about affordability well they're the ones that caused the
00:55:35.340
problem but nobody knows that you know people forget so they say oh affordability let's vote
00:55:41.420
for the democrats it's no affordability they caused a tremendous price increases it was caused by the
00:55:48.600
worst inflation we've ever had and they come up with this word affordability and i saw it even
00:55:54.220
although you're not hearing it so much anymore you know why because the prices are coming down so much
00:55:58.720
they don't want it to be an election based on lower prices but we're bringing down the lower i like
00:56:04.120
that term better it's a lower prices we're bringing them down but we inherited the highest prices in the
00:56:09.880
history of our country and we've rapidly brought them down and that's what we want to do
00:56:14.100
did you ever see them or they're being interviewed this will be an election on affordability
00:56:24.940
and i say that but they never talk about after that's all they say they just say affordability
00:56:31.360
but they never do anything mr chairman right they never say they don't talk about what do they mean
00:56:36.700
so everyone says you know look you people are doing a lot of things you're not into politics that much
00:56:41.720
although you like it you like trump but you're not into politics but you're not going to go back and
00:56:46.320
examine all you know is oh therefore i guess that means they did a good job they almost destroyed our
00:56:53.660
country they were pricing you out when gasoline's at four dollars and fifty cents and now it's at one
00:56:59.720
dollar i was told you know i'm saying 199 today in iowa i was told that it was one dollar and 85 cents
00:57:07.040
it hit a gallon in iowa and you know that's like a massive tax cut that's actually like a massive tax
00:57:15.440
cut so the biden nightmare cost a typical american family thirty four thousand dollars in four years
00:57:21.820
but after one year of trump real wages are already up more than two thousand dollars think of it that's
00:57:28.860
a five thousand dollar swing much faster wages have gone up much much faster think of this than
00:57:35.220
inflation with him it was just the opposite wages in the united states and the last year have gone up
00:57:41.280
and remember the first part of the year actually you could say almost the first year i was fixing the
00:57:47.260
country from the horror show that we inherited grocery prices airfares hotels car payments and rent prices
00:57:54.380
have all come down and they've come down very fast and thanks to our tax cuts millions of americans will
00:58:01.420
soon receive record-setting tax refunds an average of more than one thousand dollars think of that
00:58:08.000
one thousand dollars compared to last year one thousand dollars just in what you're going to save
00:58:14.200
with some of the tax cuts and that number goes up exponentially over the course of four years
00:58:21.920
so it's i mean it's amazing it's called the great big beautiful bill
00:58:25.320
you know one other thing that that they get you get that's i thought was so great i came up with it
00:58:36.520
you know very rich people get deductions middle income people don't get deductions they never have
00:58:41.880
i said why is it that when a rich person buys something they get a deduction on interest but when
00:58:47.780
somebody that's working like hell they don't get it they want to buy a car and i said why
00:58:52.840
can't somebody buying a car in america only if it's made in america if it's made in some other
00:58:58.260
country we have no interest so i got it approved in the great big beautiful bill you get a full
00:59:03.780
tax deduction against your income tax you get a full tax deduction think of it if you purchase a car
00:59:10.940
in america if you borrow money the interest that you're paying on that borrowed money is a
00:59:15.420
full deduction for your tax purposes and that's a tremendous deal and you know what it's also
00:59:23.700
great for the car companies because the car companies are going to be making a lot more cars
00:59:27.480
that nobody they couldn't believe it and i got it passed so just remember me as you take those
00:59:32.600
deductions please the king of deductions no but it was always unfair the way a lot of people
00:59:39.280
the way a lot of people got treated you take that deduction one of those who will be seeing okay
00:59:44.500
uh we are now going to we're going to pass this on to john solomon rav we'll stick with the
00:59:49.820
