00:01:07.360 Friday, 17 April, Year of the Lord, 2026.

00:01:10.500 We are live at the, we're live at the Charlie Kirk event.

00:01:15.040 You see, we've been showing the Air Force One, the president's going to be there momentarily.

00:01:19.400 I think Rush Limbaugh's widow is going to speak.

00:01:22.940 And Charlie Kirk, Erica Kirk is going to speak, then the president of the United States.

00:01:28.380 Let's go ahead.

00:01:28.940 If we don't have her, can we go and play our cold open?

00:01:31.140 Can we do that?

00:01:32.460 Let's go ahead and play our cold open.

00:01:33.920 prosecutor from the investigation and a former cia director john brennan is now off the case

00:01:39.920 according to people briefed on the matter they say the justice department removed career prosecutor

00:01:44.960 maria mededis long from the case after she resisted pressure to quickly bring charges

00:01:50.480 against brennan remember brennan is under investigation for his 2017 intelligence

00:01:54.760 assessment that found that russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help donald

00:02:00.080 Trump. Long led the case for months amid growing demands from Trump to prosecute Brennan and other

00:02:05.340 critics. The Miami U.S. Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

00:02:11.120 A lot of questions. This is a moving, moving target today with a lot of pieces. And one of

00:02:15.740 the big questions is what the White House is doing to make sure the strait stays open. What

00:02:19.340 are you hearing about all of it? Yeah, Jessica, what we know right now is that these officials,

00:02:24.920 the U.S. officials, Pakistani officials, Iranian officials are all working feverishly behind the

00:02:29.320 scenes, but I do want to post or at least draw your attention to a post from Donald Trump on

00:02:33.720 True Social because it gives us an idea of what the United States is doing. He says the Strait

00:02:38.180 of Hormuz is completely open and ready for business and full passage, but the naval blockade

00:02:42.580 will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran only until such a time our transaction

00:02:48.760 with Iran is 100 percent complete. That clearly goes to show you that we are maintaining a posture

00:02:54.240 of maximum pressure in this scenario to ensure that they keep the strait open.

00:02:59.900 And we've just seen a post from U.S. Central Command reiterating what the president said,

00:03:03.960 that this naval blockade is going to stay in place until it is necessary to remove it,

00:03:09.560 meaning until they have some sort of a deal with Iran that is firmly in place.

00:03:14.260 Now, it has been sort of difficult to sort out what exactly is happening behind the scenes,

00:03:19.480 because we're hearing very different takes from U.S. officials who are telling us that

00:03:24.080 the Trump administration is considering unfreezing billions of dollars in Iranian assets as part

00:03:29.160 of a deal. But we're also hearing from President Trump, who said the complete opposite. He's doing

00:03:33.680 these kind of quick phone interviews that he does with reporters, and one of them saying

00:03:37.840 that he expects the deal in the next day or two, and another saying that Iran agreed to not only

00:03:43.620 suspend its nuclear program indefinitely, but that they wouldn't receive any frozen funds.

00:03:49.180 So even though these U.S. officials are telling us that is under consideration, he is saying that's not out there.

00:03:55.480 He is not going to do that. So we're still piecing together what.

00:04:00.540 Denver, let's go into it. OK, we're going to go to the stage.

00:04:02.840 Rush Limbaugh's Catherine Limbaugh is going to address the crowd at the Turning Point event. 0.88

00:04:07.300 Let's go to go to the stage.

00:04:08.180 not only is she raising a young family in a way she didn't dream of

00:04:18.580 she is continuing charlie's mission and bringing many young students along with her

00:04:27.560 anyone who criticizes erica for how she grieves or how she moves forward

00:04:37.800 should pause and think for a minute about the humanity of that.

00:04:45.260 Many people claim to be caring and compassionate

00:04:50.660 when in fact they are incredibly judgmental.

00:04:56.220 So many loved our friend Charlie and so many love Erica.

00:05:03.300 goodness will always outshine the darkness

00:05:08.900 Charlie knew exactly who he was marrying

00:05:19.660 a strong, smart, beautiful soul inside and out

00:05:25.900 I know he is immensely proud of Erica

00:05:29.840 and how she is carrying on

00:05:32.280 I have often said Charlie was the younger version of Rush

00:05:44.520 the next generation of Rush Limbaugh

00:05:48.500 because we're now able to test

00:05:52.820 hey Eric do a 10 count

00:05:57.800 yeah 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

00:06:00.740 And, Steve, I heard your question.

00:06:02.340 I was answering it, but I guess it wasn't. 0.99

00:06:04.420 The audio was fucked up. 1.00

00:06:05.980 Denver fucked up. 1.00

00:06:07.600 All right. 1.00

00:06:08.480 So we're going to go back to Jatlin.

00:06:11.180 And now we're going to bring in Bowling out of Jatlin.

00:06:14.980 So you can go back.

00:06:16.320 I want it.

00:06:22.900 For the midterms.

00:06:24.760 they are also likely working on a better radio deal in heaven

00:06:32.080 both men shared such profound talent and wisdom

00:06:40.540 both use their intelligence and wit

00:06:45.380 to connect with people of all backgrounds

00:06:48.900 among the many things that made Charlie and Rush unique was their ability to talk to you

00:06:59.160 and not at you they encouraged everyone who would listen to think for themselves

00:07:07.000 they presented facts so that you could form your own opinions both loved this country with all of

00:07:17.160 their hearts. They stood for freedom and freedom of speech. Charlie and Rush are simply irreplaceable

00:07:28.960 but their lessons live on through all of us. We must continue to share these lessons with as many

00:07:40.680 as possible. Both Charlie and Rush wanted young Americans to know how miraculous our country is.

00:07:51.900 They wanted to explain to those who agreed and those who didn't, some of whom were outside on

00:07:59.460 my way in. They needed better signs, by the way, but we'll work on that for them.

00:08:10.680 They wanted to explain to those who agreed and those who didn't

00:08:15.800 why the United States of America is worth protecting and valuing.

00:08:22.720 They knew, as we do, that every American has the opportunity

00:08:28.680 to better their circumstance, no matter what.

00:08:33.160 No matter the color of your skin or gender or where you started in life

00:08:39.800 or what you're told you can't do.

00:08:43.660 As an American, you have the chance for a brighter future

00:08:48.980 and the chance to go after your dreams

00:08:52.000 simply because you are an American.

00:08:56.220 There are endless stories of Americans

00:08:58.580 who started in actual ghettos,

00:09:01.820 in true poverty, and rose to leave industries.

00:09:06.660 Those are the stories that need to be told over and over.

00:09:13.080 Young girls can achieve anything that they strive for in this country.

00:09:26.260 Both Charlie and Rush recognized our country's history is flawed and not perfect.

00:09:34.240 However, despite any imperfections, we as a country have made tremendous strides over these decades to right our wrongs.

00:09:46.840 There are so many examples of this.

00:09:50.840 Those examples should also be told over and over.

00:09:55.740 Our country is made up of countless everyday heroes doing extraordinary things

00:10:04.920 who showcase we as American people represent much more goodness than evil and always will.

00:10:15.380 it is important that we hold on to the principles that Charlie and Rush stood for

00:10:25.880 at the very base of that is freedom of speech I encourage you all to use your minds

00:10:35.640 especially the young people continue to seek the truth use your voice to share with others

00:10:43.920 I encourage you not to just go with the flow

00:10:47.800 or what may be trendy in social media for that minute.

00:10:53.140 Charlie and Rush showed us the incredible impacts

00:10:57.440 one life can have on this world

00:11:00.660 and the difference that one life can make.

00:11:05.080 Know that you as an individual matter

00:11:08.580 in this great American story.

00:11:13.920 I know President Trump will be here shortly.

00:11:25.160 President Trump doesn't have to do anything that he does.

00:11:31.360 Just like Charlie and Rush, President Trump takes the arrows that he does

00:11:38.220 and continues to stand strong

00:11:41.120 because he loves this country deeply

00:11:44.240 and he loves all of you.

00:11:54.660 He doesn't have to work tirelessly as he does.

00:11:59.740 He could have led a very content private life.

00:12:05.960 But President Trump fights daily for all of us, for the younger generations, because he wants the United States to remain the most miraculous country on earth, where there is opportunity for all of us.

00:12:25.160 He runs our country with a business mind and a father's heart.

00:12:30.880 exactly what is needed.

00:12:40.140 One quick story about President Trump.

00:12:44.060 I know us Limbaugh's get behind a microphone

00:12:46.400 and we think we have three hours,

00:12:48.060 but I promise you this will be quick.

00:12:52.040 Soon after Rush announced his cancer diagnosis

00:12:55.620 to millions on the radio,

00:12:57.740 we headed off to Boston for what we thought was a scheduled surgery and treatment.

00:13:05.200 When we landed in Boston, the phone rang, and sure enough, it was President Trump.

00:13:12.720 He asked what we were doing, and Rush said,

00:13:16.000 oh, well, just preparing for surgery this afternoon.

00:13:20.440 President Trump, without hesitation, said, how about coming to the Capitol tonight?

00:13:27.600 Sitting in an old t-shirt in Boston, Rush looked at me and said,

00:13:34.240 Tonight?

00:13:36.200 Mind you, the t-shirt was about all that he had packed.

00:13:41.440 Oh, no, no, no, we couldn't possibly make it to Washington tonight.

00:13:46.980 Well, you all know how persuasive President Trump can be.

00:13:51.460 needless to say the surgery was delayed and we were in the capital hours later for rush to be

00:14:01.540 presented with the presidential medal of freedom

00:14:05.360 it was a night we will never forget every few days president trump

00:14:21.140 would take time out of his very busy day to call Rush, just to check in.

00:14:29.340 No agenda, just simply, how are you holding up?

00:14:34.820 President Trump is a great man who cares for our country so deeply

00:14:42.080 and Americans in that very same way.

00:14:46.340 god bless erica and her children god bless president trump and god bless all of you thank you

00:14:59.580 okay i think we've got it sorted now if you're in the war room katherine uh limbaugh and very

00:15:11.580 very touching uh comments uh about uh the life of rush limbaugh her husband and um and uh charlie

00:15:19.720 kirk eric bowling eric uh erica kirk's gonna come up in a moment we're gonna go back to the stage

00:15:24.760 for that then there'll be another gap they're gonna play a video and then the president of

00:15:27.780 united states will join us eric can you summarize where actually we stand uh in with the situation

00:15:33.940 in hormuz and uh in the uh gulf of oman with our we have a blockade with the u.s navy

00:15:40.620 It looks like the Iranian guards still control Hormoz, although it is technically open, I guess, sir.

00:15:47.500 Yeah.

00:15:47.960 Well, President Trump says it's open.

00:15:49.980 There's a couple of naysayers in the Middle East, countries saying, well, not so fast, not all of it.

00:15:54.640 But I'll tell you, Steve, if you haven't watched The War Room, you don't know this.

00:15:58.660 But any time you really need to know what's going on in the Middle East, forget the noise, forget the legacy media, you look at the oil markets.

00:16:04.940 And this morning at $95 a barrel, we came in.

00:16:07.820 And when Trump said it's all clear, it dropped to $78.

00:16:11.900 That's an 18% drop, $17 a barrel.

00:16:15.340 Ended up moving up a little bit when someone from the Middle East said not quite fully opened yet.

00:16:20.560 But, wow, what an amazing success.

00:16:22.920 This thing was so easy, so simple, and so smart. 0.88

00:16:26.260 You know, they took the money away from Iran. 0.89

00:16:28.560 They took the ball.

00:16:29.300 They took the only Trump card they held, literally, and said, we got this now.

00:16:33.040 Trump said, we got this now.

00:16:34.400 You don't have the straight-up moves.

00:16:35.800 We do.

00:16:36.800 Iran can't sell their oil.

00:16:38.360 And better yet, not only can Iran not sell their oil, China can't get that oil. 0.51

00:16:43.200 So it's a double.

00:16:44.680 It's a buy one, get one.

00:16:45.880 It's a twofer.

00:16:46.760 So oil doesn't go to China.

00:16:48.500 They have to deplete their reserves. 0.52

00:16:50.200 And Iran doesn't get to fill their coffers with the petrodollars. 0.77

00:16:53.980 Hang on. 0.69

00:16:54.640 But I want to go back to something because I don't trust any of these people over there.

00:16:57.420 um actually it is the iranian guard or i actually say the pirates that are down on one on oman on

00:17:05.380 one side and uh and uh iran or persia on the other because i think you're seeing charts and

00:17:11.600 maps that shows that nobody's going through there's announcements out there that uh israeli

00:17:17.140 vessels going to israel or the united states can't go through do we have what is kind of the

00:17:22.080 bit in the ass of what we know actually about the strait?

00:17:26.380 Literally, I would tell you based on, again, that oil price, I would say it's well bid that 0.99

00:17:32.000 the strait is open to whoever Trump wants to go through.

00:17:35.820 Let's put it that way.

00:17:36.560 It may not be a full open strait, 150 ships traveling, but the ones that Trump is willing

00:17:41.960 or the Trump administration is willing to have go through, are going through.

00:17:45.820 Steve, I don't know if you played this for your audience.

00:17:47.580 It's amazing.

00:17:48.260 The U.S. Navy, the seamen telling ships as they tried to transverse the straits saying, if you don't turn around, you will feel the full force power of the U.S. Navy on you.

00:17:59.140 And guess what, Steve?

00:18:00.300 14 tried, 14 were sent back.

00:18:02.960 They decided not worth the trip.

00:18:04.640 So I would say it's open to whatever Trump wants it to be open to.

00:18:09.720 Are you sure?

00:18:10.880 Are you sure that they're not playing games if you see these charts and nothing's coming out?

00:18:15.720 Because a couple of announcements today from the Middle East saying, hey, we still control it and we'll let out who we want to let out.

00:18:24.120 Not sure because I'm not there, but I will tell you, Steve, how many times over the last 50 days or so have we heard the strait is going to be open or we're going to finish this or it's concluded?

00:18:33.420 And oil kept going up.

00:18:34.520 And that was the indicator.

00:18:35.480 Like, there's something going on that we don't know.

00:18:37.880 The legacy media will tell us one thing.

00:18:39.320 Fox News will tell you another thing.

00:18:40.580 But for us and for me, I think it's been pretty much spot on for the duration of this that no matter what you were hearing in the news reports, if you just watched the price of oil where it was headed, you kind of knew how the level of conflict that was happening.

00:18:54.520 And for us to turn around this with an 18 percent drop in one trading session tells me that it's open to the tankers that Trump is willing to let transverse.

00:19:05.400 And that's something that you and I could talk about at some point.

00:19:08.720 Is it wise to let China start getting that oil?

00:19:12.080 I mean, maybe it's time.

00:19:13.180 Maybe it's, yeah, let's take a wait and see attitude.

00:19:15.580 I don't think it's wise at all.

00:19:17.840 I think until you've got some sort of agreement, because I think there's so many still moving pieces.

00:19:22.340 President Trump's kind of laid a framework for it, and I'm sure he's going to address today at turning point.

00:19:28.240 It's one of the reasons I believe they're all running a few minutes late.

00:19:31.260 This was supposed to start, I think, technically at 5 o'clock Eastern Daylight Time and maybe closer to 6.

00:19:37.640 I think one of the reasons President Trump, I think, is in the middle of negotiations and talking to people back and forth.

00:19:42.700 He's definitely going to give us an update.

00:19:44.540 I talked to some folks at Treasury this afternoon.

00:19:48.040 Everybody thinks there's big momentum.

00:19:49.700 But as you know over there, one of the things I've been saying, Eric, is that who you're actually negotiating with and who actually has the ability to execute on a deal.

00:19:58.740 My belief is the closer you get down to the actual strait or Hormuz itself, 0.66

00:20:03.480 you're kind of in Indian country, right? 1.00

00:20:05.380 You're in bandit country. 0.98

00:20:07.560 You've got pirates down there. 0.99

00:20:09.520 You've got some Bedouins. 0.98

00:20:11.680 You've got bad hombres and you've got worse hombres. 0.96

00:20:15.740 And, of course, any one of them take a pot shot at a vessel. 0.71

00:20:19.340 The Iranian Guard is supposed to control it.

00:20:21.380 I know they've been in discussions.

00:20:22.940 They're saying, hey, you know, President Trump's saying, hey, the strait is open.

00:20:26.320 We've got the blockade.

00:20:27.760 I still don't know if the Navy, you know, my source are there.

00:20:31.320 I don't think the Navy is letting anybody through right now.

00:20:33.360 So it's up in the air.

00:20:34.620 However, directionally, I think this is good or looking good.

00:20:39.220 And you're telling me the markets are all sitting there and saying they think something good is going to happen.

00:20:44.300 The price is starting to fall.

00:20:46.460 Yeah.

00:20:46.720 In fact, they are showing it.

00:20:49.500 They're walking.

00:20:50.620 They're speaking with their money.

00:20:52.280 Again, not speculators.

00:20:53.540 These are the people I talk to.

00:20:55.100 I talk to refiners.

00:20:56.220 I talk to transporters.

00:20:57.760 I talked to producers, and for a long time, we were hearing some positive things. 0.98

00:21:02.780 Things were going to slow down in the Middle East.

00:21:04.140 Trump was going to win.

00:21:04.940 He was going to pull out.

00:21:05.800 And oil kept going up.

00:21:06.960 And I said to you, Steve, we talked.

00:21:08.360 It's not done yet.

00:21:09.400 It's not done yet.

00:21:10.420 This tells me that there is, you know, again, if we're, you know, you're a strategist.

00:21:16.460 If Trump wanted to hold this up a while, he could hold the Chinese shipments.

00:21:21.140 Maybe he wants to let some Indian ships go through or some Europeans.

00:21:25.160 And I will tell you, Brent crude is still over $90 a barrel.

00:21:29.540 So once that one shows some signs of weakness, then I think it's probably all clear in the Strait of Hormuz.

00:21:35.620 But WTI, remember, it's a function of how strong that Middle Eastern crude is that goes to India, that goes to Asia, Asian countries, and Europe.

00:21:44.900 Once the European crude starts to come down, WTI, we're less, I guess, held hostage by the Strait of Hormuz than the Europeans are in the Asians.

00:21:54.340 So WTI comes down because we're flush with oil.

00:21:58.280 The bottom line is it was $55 a barrel before this started because we had plenty of production.

00:22:03.120 We had plenty of supply.

00:22:05.040 It's Europe and really China that's at risk of economic slowdown, of potential recession or worse if they don't get their oil.

00:22:16.260 That's why I think it's a really important strategic move to decide who gets the oil that's coming through.

00:22:22.260 Listen, if you're if you're marked to go to China, maybe just we're going to hold you up for a while.

00:22:26.800 Hey, he can do it. He owns the straight right now.

00:22:29.640 It's amazing, amazing, powerful, powerful tool he's got in his hand.

00:22:33.980 What are you. What are markets and what are the European and the refiners and in the players over there?

00:22:42.360 What are they looking for in President Trump's remarks today at Turning Point?

00:22:46.480 Because President Trump is going to is going to address the war of that.

00:22:49.620 there's no doubt. What are markets and what are players over there looking for?

00:22:54.860 Timing, Steve, timing and volume. Remember, right before the war started and people stopped

00:23:02.080 transversing the straight, there were 130 to 150 vessels that go through. Not all were oil,

00:23:08.240 but predominantly oil vessels that went through on a daily basis. How many are going to get through?

00:23:13.240 So how much oil gets out and how often. Right. So if nothing's gone through in 50 days or so, is it immediately there's 100 ships or 50 ships coming through?

00:23:22.940 And again, where are they going? And for that reason, it tells me, you know, 110, 115 dollars a barrel down to 78 earlier today.

00:23:32.520 At one point, the smart people, the people who are in the know, think that whatever is going to happen over the course of time is going to be positive.

00:23:40.240 Not positive to the price of oil, positive to the economic well-being of not only the United States, but likely the whole world.

00:23:48.840 And who are people going to believe? Because right now there is a discrepancy.

00:23:52.520 And like I said, you don't know who really is controlling the deal over with the Iranians. 0.54

00:23:58.060 I keep saying this. And you don't know who can really effectuate a deal. 0.92

00:24:02.800 And particularly in that part of Iran, I continue to say when you get down to the Strait of Hormuz,

00:24:08.140 You're down in, you know, you've gone from Indian country to the pirates because they have been out today with some counter counter statements.

00:24:16.960 Do you think the markets are saying, hey, Trump's in charge?

00:24:20.000 They shrugged it off, Steve. They shrugged it off. Those traders shrugged off all those counter statements.

00:24:24.620 They said, you know, and they they actually shrugged off Trump's statements on the way up and they were right.

00:24:30.520 So Trump was early on. If you remember, this is this is going to be going to be over within a week.

00:24:35.760 early on they didn't believe that and oil kept making its move higher advancing higher and higher

00:24:40.800 and they shrugged but today they shrugged off the other side which is i believe is they've been all

00:24:46.440 they've been right straight through steve i mean people say that we've been talking about it and

00:24:49.980 we've been right on war room almost every day but it's really not that difficult i've been doing it

00:24:55.060 for 36 years i just watch the major players in the oil markets because they're the they're the

00:24:59.820 ones with the most at risk yeah american people yes gas pump yes but the people who whose livelihood

00:25:05.480 whose jobs, whose careers, whose companies rely on the price of oil aren't taking they're not taking news media reports and applying them to their position, their books or their or the risk portfolios.

00:25:18.280 They're taking what they see and what they know.

00:25:21.500 We're going to go live to the stage.

00:25:23.260 Eric, hang on one second.

00:25:24.060 We're going to live to the stage as soon as Eric Kirk comes out and we'll hear we will hear Eric's remarks in their full.

00:25:30.420 So, Eric Bolling, you're very familiar with The New York Post.

00:25:34.540 It's Murdoch's paper, but it's the populist.

00:25:37.340 That and the Daily News are the two populist tabloids.

00:25:40.140 They've got an exclusive cover today on the tax bill, on President Trump's tax returns,

00:25:47.420 what he's done for working people.

00:25:48.960 It says many happy returns.

00:25:50.180 Workers rejoice.

00:25:51.420 As Trump's law bumps tax refunds 11% to average $3,400.

00:25:56.820 And, of course, inside, there's a huge exclusive.

00:25:59.580 The folks in Treasury wanted to make sure I saw that.

00:26:02.220 It's an amazing article.

00:26:03.720 But is the war and other issues kind of big-footed?

00:26:07.700 President Trump went to Vegas.

00:26:09.680 First, I had the DoorDash.

00:26:11.180 He had a DoorDash grandma show up the other day at the White House.

00:26:16.020 Even he said it was a little bit gimmicky.

00:26:17.660 I think President Trump said it the other day.

00:26:19.660 Then yesterday in Vegas, do you think that the war news and what we're talking about,

00:26:24.760 oil, has kind of big-footed what President Trump and Besson worked on for so long to

00:26:29.780 make sure that whether it is the $6,000 abatement for elderly people, whether it is the no tax on

00:26:40.940 tips, whether it's no tax on overtime, do you think that message has been promulgated enough

00:26:46.080 that people are actually hearing it? Because this, to me, is one of the biggest and most

00:26:50.240 important parts of the Trump tax bill for working class people, sir.

00:26:54.580 you listen to the news media just loves they got bad cases of trump derangement syndrome so they'll

00:27:02.920 take the worst of everything they'll put it up there meanwhile as you go went into april 15th

00:27:07.580 you didn't realize in the big beautiful bill i think it was on average people were saving

00:27:12.200 somewhere around 10 to 11 percent just because of the big beautiful bill and what they got pushed

00:27:16.680 through child tax credit increases like you point out no taxes on tips no taxes on social security

00:27:22.460 so many things no taxes on auto loans it so many things that came into fruition i think they

00:27:29.120 realized it on wednesday april 15th because wow this is great up leading up to that the fear of

00:27:36.700 inflation that fear of a five dollar gallon of gasoline certainly overrode anything that they

00:27:41.820 thought they were going to benefit from with the one big beautiful bill so they both of these things

00:27:47.840 working together at the same time oil coming down hopefully eases the price of the pump again it's

00:27:52.340 going to take a while for the pump to really come down because all that oil that was traded at 110

00:27:57.200 or 105 dollars a barrel has to work its way through the system takes about 30 days or so

00:28:02.140 but you know and we're in the driving season so it'll stay the demand and the price will stay

00:28:06.620 elevated where it could be or should be but in the meantime it's a positive development you've

00:28:11.500 got the big beautiful bill that's putting more money in people's pockets allowing them to keep

00:28:15.220 more of our own money instead of stealing it through taxation and then once you get through

00:28:19.220 the summer driving season, you're going to head into the election season, probably looking pretty

00:28:23.640 good. Eric Bolling, where do people get you? I want to thanks. I'll bug you tonight. And if

00:28:29.600 anything happens overnight or is a big reaction to President Trump's address at Turning Point

00:28:34.060 out in Glendale, Arizona, I guess this is closer to Phoenix. We'll get you back on. But until then,

00:28:40.140 social media and the new show, where do people go sign up for it? You know what, Steve, if you

00:28:44.640 just watch War Room, watch the show, Eric Bolling, we'll have Real Medical's Voices, keep you here

00:28:48.700 all day, all night. And you learn, like I said, a hundred times, you want to watch what happened

00:28:53.180 yesterday? Watch Fox, watch Legacy Media. You want to know what's going to happen tomorrow?

00:28:57.520 Watch Bannon War Room and Bowling on RAV. Thank you, brother. Appreciate you, sir. Talk to you

00:29:03.080 after the show, after President Trump's speech. We've got the Brian Glenn, our White House

00:29:08.740 correspondent, happens to be there at the event. Let's go to Brian Glenn live. Brian, what's your

00:29:15.520 sense of the president's address erica kirk's going to come out momentarily say a few words

00:29:20.320 put us in the room sir

00:29:21.880 yeah uh good afternoon steve we are at the dream center church this has been really

00:29:28.280 ground zero for a lot of these political uh events here in the phoenix area and this course

00:29:33.600 has a deep connection with charlie kirk and the entire attorney park usa uh family now uh the

00:29:39.520 doors opened earlier today this place is i could say packed uh steve there's a lot of people in

00:29:44.500 here. We just heard from some amazing speakers. It is about keeping Arizona red, build the

00:29:51.780 red wall. We've had great speakers by Andy Biggs, running for governor, gave a really

00:29:55.860 heartfelt message, talked about his wife, that he couldn't do it without her and her

00:30:00.520 involvement, really called on the state of Arizona to come together and put him in office.

00:30:05.560 But really, I think what we're getting here is the sense of urgency. Well, we've got an

00:30:12.200 announcement. Looks like we're getting some final instructions before they come out, though. But

00:30:17.700 Steve, just a great night coming up next. Erica Kirk, followed by a video, and then President

00:30:23.880 Trump walking out shortly afterwards. It's been quite a lineup. I mean, it's a lineup that you

00:30:30.020 would see in a Charlie Kirk event. It's been fantastic. Bo Davidson, let's go to you. Brian,

00:30:35.100 hang on right there. We'll probably do the stage momentarily. Bo Davidson, your thoughts, sir?

00:30:39.580 yeah steve uh you just mentioned the lineup uh earlier today there was danica patrick of course

00:30:45.840 from nascar jay feely a former nfl kicker who's running for congress there in arizona eli crane

00:30:51.680 uh abe hamada paul gosar john siskamani and steve i was listening to andy biggs earlier and he said

00:30:57.920 something i think is critical and this is kind of touches on what brian just said about arizona

00:31:02.360 being important andy biggs called arizona the fulcrum of national politics that people look

00:31:07.880 to Arizona because Dems want to permanently turn it blue. And I think it's very important as Donald

00:31:13.960 Trump takes the stage today in a victory lap of so many things that people thought he could not do,

00:31:19.540 run the verge here of peace with Iran, potentially the peace between Israel and Lebanon. Could

00:31:24.740 Lebanon join the Gulf states in an alliance? There's so many things at stake, which I'm sure

00:31:30.180 the president will address, but how appropriate that everything is centering right now in the

00:31:34.680 state of Arizona that, as Andy Biggs, I think rightly said, is the fulcrum of national politics

00:31:39.040 that we've got to be paying attention to right now in building this virtual red wall and not

00:31:44.240 losing midterms. And Steve, I just think that it's appropriate at this particular moment to

00:31:49.160 take this victory lap because affordability has been an issue. Gas has been an issue. And I think

00:31:54.740 it's time for the president to address that. And I think that he will tonight.

00:31:57.200 bo you've uh you know andy you've sat through a lot of uh of speeches and he's fantastic he's

00:32:04.860 been one of the leaders in this fisa fight back and of course the budget fight andy biggs is the

00:32:09.400 best because he's leaving congress to run for the governorship andy biggs was very choked up

00:32:14.920 talked about his wife again it got very very personal there didn't it it did it did it got

00:32:20.880 personal and i'll even take that one step further with katherine limbaugh uh talking about charlie

00:32:25.680 being the younger version of Rush. It is an interesting thing, Steve, to think about what

00:32:31.500 the conversation in heaven is like right now between Charlie Kirk and Rush Limbaugh. I have

00:32:35.660 to admit that that gave me pause and made me tear up as well, looking down in the situation and

00:32:40.220 what we're on the precipice of right now. What I liked about what Andy said, and especially

00:32:46.240 what Catherine Limbaugh said, is that what made Rush and Charlie unique is that they talked with

00:32:52.720 you, not at you. Yes. And that's an important thing to remember as we talk about the legacy

00:32:57.200 of Charlie Kirk and what that he's established. And, you know, she told young people, use your

00:33:01.720 voices, use your minds, use the freedom of speech that you have. And that's something that Charlie,

00:33:06.260 you know, carried through, through his dying day was that. And so as I think about what Charlie

00:33:10.360 and Rush are looking down upon right now, Steve, I have to think that there's a smile that's

00:33:15.400 happening. I really do a heavenly smile about what's happening. The fact that we can still

00:33:19.180 have free speech and that young people should step out and speak out. I think it's really,

00:33:23.720 really important. So between what Andy Biggs said and I think what Catherine Limbaugh said,

00:33:27.020 this is a moment for us to pause and to remember the freedoms that we certainly have and should

00:33:31.280 exercise. No, and I tell you, Catherine does not make a lot of public appearances like this. She's 0.88

00:33:36.860 not part of these kind of conferences or these rallies. So very extraordinary moment and

00:33:41.620 absolutely incredible. Yeah. What do you anticipate the president's going to say tonight

00:33:47.720 this evening about the situation in the war? Well, here's what I'd like for him to say,

00:33:53.940 Stephen. I've been thinking about this for the past hour or so, and I'll just use the word

00:33:58.840 recalibration here, because this is what I'm seeing, and I think that if this translates

00:34:04.340 to Americans, that they'll get it, and I think midterms will be a lot more optimistic. So there's

00:34:08.640 the recalibration, of course, in the Middle East for the foreseeable future, and that, of course,

00:34:11.800 affects China. That affects Russia. Putting these countries on notice that Trump will crush you

00:34:17.180 militarily or Trump will crush you economically. I think those are two very important points.

00:34:22.480 Recalibrating Israel as well. The president telling Bibi Netanyahu, hey, enough is enough.

00:34:27.240 We're going to recalibrate this with you, too. You can't just keep fighting an endless war as well.

00:34:32.040 Then I think a recalibration with the Gulf states and what the Abraham Accords established.

00:34:36.860 Could Lebanon join those states? I think that's a possibility. And then, Steve, I think we can't 0.72

00:34:42.300 We can't overlook the recalibration maybe with a religious recalibration, with what's

00:34:47.960 been happening with Pope Leo.

00:34:49.800 Telling Pope Leo, okay, if you want to talk politics, if you want to talk about policy,

00:34:52.860 let's talk about it. 0.98

00:34:53.960 But don't be a hypocrite about it. 0.97

00:34:56.280 Don't say that I'm a tyrant, don't say that I'm a king and say nothing about Iran's regime 0.97

00:34:59.840 and the fact that if Tehran got a nuclear weapon, how devastating that would be. 0.77

00:35:03.740 I think there's an ally recalibration.

00:35:06.240 England, France, where were you?

00:35:08.480 NATO, where were you?

00:35:10.200 What have you done for me lately?

00:35:11.300 absolutely nothing

00:35:13.160 so i think there's an ally recalibration and and and spain my gosh i mean steve

00:35:17.420 spain is done five hundred thousand immigrants getting up

00:35:20.180 of migrant status that's a joke

00:35:22.020 and i think a recalibration of south america to you look at what happened

00:35:25.160 with venezuela maduro regime putting pressure now in colombia uh... and then

00:35:29.060 maybe recalibration with energy steve that the fact that we can be an exporter

00:35:32.840 of energy

00:35:33.620 come get our good gas come cut come to us

00:35:36.500 so that's that's the word that's been kind of towing around in my head all day

00:35:40.000 is recalibration of all these different pieces that are happening simultaneously.

00:35:44.380 That's honestly what I hope he talks about.

00:35:47.820 Bo, let me, on the theme of recalibration, which I think is brilliant,

00:35:51.120 what about recalibration?

00:35:52.480 We're, you know, we're going to have some Virginia people on tonight.

00:35:55.380 We're going to have them tomorrow morning.

00:35:57.280 We're going to have Todd, Todd Blanche is going to join us.

00:36:00.720 He's speaking at NRA tonight about a whole new approach to the Second Amendment

00:36:03.960 to make it even more ingrained into American law,

00:36:07.460 that they can't come and take your weapons.

00:36:09.140 Do you think there should be some mention at least tonight or some hint of when this when we push through this war?

00:36:15.140 And obviously we're a ways away from bringing it.

00:36:18.060 As people have told us in the chat or in the engine room, you know, the Iranians are discounting some of the Iranian elements of just came with the president saying right now, even about Hormuz.

00:36:29.000 But do you think we need a recalibration to kind of go back and say, hey, look, the grassroots got you here.

00:36:34.920 The core MAGA movement got you here.

00:36:37.160 We've got to focus on deportations. 1.00

00:36:38.800 we have to focus on this Islamic invasion into the country. President Trump went from 1.00

00:36:44.040 hugging up on Mandami to last night, President Trump said he's destroying New York. Do you think

00:36:49.560 we need a recalibration, the president, MAGA, et cetera, to say, hey, look, we got to be battle

00:36:55.640 hardened and focused on the midterm elections, sir? I think that you do and that you're very,

00:37:02.240 very astute to bring that up because that's one recalibration I had not thought of,

00:37:05.980 But I would say it's necessary. And there's no better platform and stage to do it at than tonight, Steve, because now that these that this sort of element of peace is starting to come back, that gas prices will fall, that affordability is more in reach.

00:37:19.560 I think it is time to recalibrate with the base, reignite them, get them excited.

00:37:23.840 That's what Charlie Kirk was all about. That's what Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs are all about.

00:37:28.640 You have to ignite that flame again within MAGA. And I think that a lot of people have been concerned about it.

00:37:32.980 look at the fracturing in the conservative movement just over this war. And you have the

00:37:37.780 people out there, the Megyn Kellys, the Tucker Carlson's, the Nick Fuentes, all those people

00:37:41.320 trying to divide this movement to the Democrats' glee, by the way. So I think you're right to say

00:37:46.120 that the president should absolutely harden up that base and say, we're on the same team. Okay.

00:37:51.460 You might not have believed me at first. You might've thought that I was short-sighted in this,

00:37:55.220 but look at what's happening. I'm resetting Middle Eastern relations for the next 50 years. 0.94

00:38:00.980 Now let's refocus at home. Let's get the deportations. Let's go back to the rule of law and order. 1.00

00:38:06.120 Absolutely, Steve. It's a very important point that you're making that he should absolutely recalibrate with the base.

00:38:12.360 Bo, hang on. You'll be with us throughout this evening with Erica Kirk first and then Charlie.

00:38:17.720 We're going to go to the stage as soon as Erica does.

00:38:19.360 Tell Brian Glenn. Brian, I want to talk to you about recalibration.

00:38:23.400 People should remember. Is Brian still there?

00:38:25.880 People should remember that when the Gulf War was won, I think George Bush's approval rating, the original, you know, Daddy Bush, was at 92 percent or something like that.

00:38:36.920 And he lost later.

00:38:38.300 Of course, Ross Perot really drove that.

00:38:41.040 But he only got 41 percent, I think, of the general election vote or I think 39 percent.

00:38:46.660 But he lost the presidency.

00:38:47.800 One of the reasons he did not recalibrate back to domestic policy.

00:38:52.860 And I'm not disagreeing with Beau, but I don't think that Nick and Tucker and people went out to divide us.

00:38:59.740 I think they're very passionate about an aspect of this that they see about nationalism and our sovereignty versus globalism.

00:39:07.740 Obviously, America's greatest ally, how they participate here, etc.

00:39:13.220 But if we are divided now, and let's be honest, we are divided.

00:39:17.100 How does President Trump, how do you think, you've been around the White House a long time, you know Trump as well as anybody.

00:39:21.720 How do you think the president tries to recalibrate and even use tonight at least part of it as he talks about the war?

00:39:27.700 He talks about the Strait of Hormuz.

00:39:29.120 He talks about the blockade.

00:39:30.420 How does he begin the process of recalibrating so we can get focused on winning?

00:39:38.080 That is a great question, and I agree with you.

00:39:41.140 I think those individuals you mentioned not necessarily was meant to divide the party but was to hold the party, the America First agenda,

00:39:49.880 The stuff, the campaign promises that had all these people elect them to stay to those, for President Trump to stay true to those promises.

00:39:58.560 I think that was the initial intent of all that.

00:40:01.420 And, of course, a lot of it has gone off in directions I don't care to talk about right now.

00:40:05.440 But coming off of no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime last yesterday afternoon in Las Vegas, I think that was the beginning of recalibrating this domestic message.

00:40:16.940 Now, I like to talk about recalibrating Arizona.

00:40:20.880 And, Steve, I remember going all across this great state in 2020 right after the election and all the election integrity hearings they had, all the discrepancies they had in this election.

00:40:30.680 I remember campaigning in 2020 for President Trump in this state.

00:40:34.280 And then I go fast forward to the midterms in 2022, rather with the gubernatorial race with Kerry Lake and Katie Hobbs.

00:40:41.400 I remember being on that.

00:40:42.540 And all the discrepancies that came out of that.

00:40:44.440 I remember covering that.

00:40:45.480 Fast forward to 2024, where President Trump took the state, not by much, and mind you, the worst political candidate probably in history for the Democrats was on the ballot and only won by a couple percentage points.

00:40:59.080 So this state is red, but it's not as red as it needs to be.

00:41:03.140 And I think tonight, endorsing and promoting the candidates that we've heard from so far today will help solidify the strength of the Republican Party to recalibrate it in Arizona.

00:41:14.760 But I can't help but think, this whole time I've heard Eli Crane, I've heard all these great Republicans speak.

00:41:21.060 But yet we hold the majority in the House.

00:41:22.640 We hold the majority in the Senate.

00:41:23.940 We have the executive branch. 0.99

00:41:25.900 Why can't we get shit done? 0.99

00:41:28.240 Why can't we do it, Steve? 0.98

00:41:29.820 And all these executive orders that President Trump has done, we haven't codified, but not even less than half of them, into law.

00:41:37.120 So I hear the call about having brave and strong and courageous Republicans.

00:41:42.260 But if we get these Republicans into office and they don't work, they don't they don't succumb to the political industrial complex, then it's all for nothing, Steve.

00:41:51.820 It's all for nothing. But let's recalibrate Arizona. Let's strengthen this state and let's move forward.

00:41:58.060 Here we go. Looks like we have Erica Kirk up next, Steve. 0.94

00:42:02.880 OK, let's go ahead. We're going to toss it to the stage. We're here with Rural America's Voice. We'll be back after Erica Kirk. 1.00

00:42:12.260 Welcome, look at this crowd.

00:42:42.260 I love you guys.

00:42:51.820 Over the past seven months, I have seen the worst of humanity, but I've also seen the

00:43:02.800 best of it.

00:43:09.660 And it's reminded me that every day when you wake up, you have a choice to spend your days

00:43:18.280 focused on what's broken, or you can recognize our freedoms and fight to protect them.

00:43:28.100 As Americans, we are all privileged to live in the greatest country in the world.

00:43:41.820 Is it perfect?

00:43:47.600 No, it's not.

00:43:50.060 Do we have problems to solve?

00:43:51.820 Of course.

00:43:53.180 Of course we do.

00:43:54.480 But our country is the best that we have, and I do not want to lose it. 1.00

00:44:03.900 If you look around the world right now, Europe has surrendered itself to third world criminals 1.00

00:44:11.060 and under the Biden administration, we were on track for that for ourselves. 1.00

00:44:15.180 But President Trump came in and course corrected.

00:44:22.660 In countries like Nigeria, radical Islamists are murdering Christians for their faith. 0.96

00:44:29.680 In Canada, they'll tell you you're better off getting medically assisted suicide than 0.96

00:44:34.940 believing in the sanctity of life.

00:44:37.960 While in America, we understand that a free life is worth living.

00:44:45.000 But there is nowhere else on earth, nowhere else on earth like the United States of America,

00:44:50.620 there is not.

00:44:51.620 powerful combination of freedom, the ability to live your life with your faith openly, and the

00:44:58.060 chance to build a life nowhere else like it. And nowhere else I would want to be, and I'm sure you

00:45:03.400 guys feel the same exact way. But that didn't just happen by accident. It happened because

00:45:13.100 generations have fought and sacrificed everything for it. And because all of us,

00:45:20.260 as a united front said enough is enough and showed up to vote for president trump in 2024

00:45:27.100 amazing we said enough was enough

00:45:31.120 and i'll never forget after that election i know none of you will either

00:45:37.940 charlie's sitting there he was going through the numbers he was going through the maps he was

00:45:44.520 looking at looking at all the data points and he said to us he goes this is it he said the red wall

00:45:52.360 he said if you can secure Arizona Nevada and New Hampshire and you're investing into these states

00:45:59.180 and not just into these races he said their maps will collapse and their strategies will fail

00:46:05.440 And it inspired us to no end. Totally inspired us. But we don't get to just sit back and admire

00:46:16.460 that win from 2024. We have to fight to protect it. Every day. That's right. Every day. And Arizona

00:46:24.960 is home for me. I was raised here. I fell in love here. I got married here. We're raising our

00:46:32.620 children here and we're not going to sit back and just watch this state or this

00:46:39.400 country be torn torn completely torn apart completely torn apart we're not

00:46:44.400 going to watch that because they want this state they want this state and

00:46:49.720 turning point action will fight to defend it and we I refuse

00:46:55.960 I refuse to let California become Arizona.

00:47:05.100 Not happening.

00:47:07.200 Not happening.

00:47:08.200 We don't want Arizona to elect people like Eric Swalwell.

00:47:12.620 No we don't.

00:47:13.620 No we want.

00:47:14.620 But I will say unfortunately we do have his best friend Ruben Gallego here so we have

00:47:18.840 some work to do.

00:47:20.420 We have some work to do.

00:47:23.720 seriously though, I do not want a country to look like the protesters outside who are

00:47:31.600 celebrating the murder of my husband. I do not want a country like that. So let's not

00:47:39.480 forget how quickly things can go in the wrong direction. We just lived through four years

00:47:47.000 of corruption dressed up as compassion. Four years of that. You remember when we had Christian

00:47:56.620 pro-life activists being persecuted for their beliefs? Remember when concerned parents were

00:48:05.340 getting targeted by federal law enforcement just for showing up at their school board meetings?

00:48:09.960 remember lake and riley i do remember wide open borders half a million people poured into this

00:48:22.860 state alone thanks to an administration that didn't care about stopping them and now 452

00:48:30.060 days into the trump administration look at what has already been done look at it there are

00:48:37.560 accomplishments. And yes, there is more to be done, but my husband and all of you fought for this

00:48:46.080 and we achieved it. And now we have to show up again with 80 to 90% voter turnout in the midterms

00:49:01.700 and fortify the red wall for the next decade. That's what we need to do.

00:49:07.560 But at the same time, you have people out there who are actively trying to tear this

00:49:21.900 country apart.

00:49:25.060 They love to start fights, dividing us all against each other, spreading negativity,

00:49:34.880 to get clicks and influence the algorithm to maximize profits. Meanwhile, building is hard.

00:49:45.240 Getting out the vote, talking to real people, spiritual revival, that's actual work.

00:49:53.660 That is actual work. And my husband, Charlie, gave his life for that work.

00:50:00.840 And what gets built lasts for generations long after the noise has run out of one-liners.

00:50:13.460 No one understands this better than President Trump.

00:50:17.120 No one.

00:50:18.260 No matter what they throw at him, he perseveres in the face of adversity because the mission is too important.

00:50:30.840 because this country is worth fighting for and he is not alone in this fight and we are blessed

00:50:40.040 to be americans and we are going to fight like it and ladies and gentlemen there is no one else

00:50:46.440 i'd rather have on our side than president donald j trump god bless you guys

00:50:52.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we

00:51:07.640 are going to make our country great again.

00:51:13.200 Donald Trump swept all seven swing states, six of them flipped from Joe Biden's column

00:51:19.800 in 2020, more than 80% of all the nation's counties move toward the right. The shift

00:51:27.000 is decisive and leaves Democrats arguing over how they misread the people.

00:51:32.760 They tried to kick him off the ballot in 50 states. He stopped them. They tried to

00:51:38.580 impoverish him. They tried to break him financially. They tried to lock him up in jail. He beat them.

00:51:44.320 They said he couldn't possibly win the White House again.

00:51:48.280 It had only been done once in history.

00:51:50.640 He won.

00:51:53.580 I raised my right arm and started shouting, fight, fight, fight.

00:52:03.020 Twelve months ago, Joe Biden handed us a mess.

00:52:06.640 Just after one year of President Trump, our economy is booming, incomes are rising, investment

00:52:12.260 is soaring. Inflation has been defeated. Our economy is roaring. Our workers are thriving.

00:52:18.320 Our border is closed. And America is respected all over the world. Our spirit is restored.

00:52:25.400 He wants to make the country safer and more prosperous than it's ever been before. As he

00:52:30.660 continues to do that, we will not only win the midterm elections, but we will elect a Republican

00:52:35.860 to succeed him. We should win in a landslide and we'll do everything we can to do.

00:52:40.940 Together with all of you, we will make America great again.

00:52:56.660 Ladies and gentlemen, now welcome to the stage the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

00:53:04.900 And I'm proud to be an American

00:53:08.300 Where at least I know I'm free

00:53:11.980 And I won't forget the men who died

00:53:15.720 Who gave that light to me

00:53:18.260 And I gladly stand up next to you

00:53:22.340 When they fit her still today

00:53:25.160 Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

00:53:30.320 God bless the USA

00:53:32.920 From the lakes of Minnesota

00:53:47.680 To the hills of Tennessee

00:53:51.020 Across the plains of Texas

00:53:55.160 From sea to shining sea

00:53:58.540 From Detroit down to Houston

00:54:01.900 And New York to LA

00:54:04.940 Where there's pride in every American heart

00:54:08.960 And it's time we stand and say

00:54:12.080 That I'm proud to be an American

00:54:18.380 Where at least I know I'm free

00:54:21.820 And I won't forget the men who died

00:54:25.760 Who gave that right to me

00:54:28.260 And I gladly stand up next to you 0.81

00:54:32.220 And defend her still today

00:54:35.100 Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land

00:54:40.320 God bless the USA

00:54:44.200 And I'm going to be an American

00:54:51.980 Where at least I know I'm free

00:54:55.820 And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me

00:55:02.200 And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today

00:55:10.040 But there ain't no doubt I love this land

00:55:15.540 God bless the U.S.

00:55:25.820 Thank you very much.

00:55:34.180 Thank you very much.

00:55:35.680 That's fantastic.

00:55:47.060 Well, I want to especially thank all those seniors, but I want to thank all the young people.

00:55:53.200 I've never seen so many young people in my life.

00:55:55.820 And I want to say a special hello to Phoenix.

00:56:01.200 We had a big win in Phoenix and a big win in Arizona and a big win all over the country.

00:56:08.100 I'm thrilled to be back in the great state of Arizona with the hardworking,

00:56:13.120 God-fearing patriots of Turning Point Action and Turning Point USA.

00:56:18.340 seven months ago our country lost a fearless warrior my friend

00:56:26.800 for freedom and he was just an amazing man he was an amazing person charlie kirk just an amazing guy

00:56:35.380 charlie was murdered by a cruel and vicious assassin who believed that by silencing his

00:56:43.360 voice he could kill an entire giant movement but standing here today it's

00:56:49.340 clear to see that Charlie's voice is not silence it's roaring and roaring back

00:56:54.320 louder frankly than ever before his message is unstoppable his mission is

00:57:03.120 totally unstoppable and his movement is forget it it's not gonna happen any

00:57:08.840 other way but success it's amazing what he's done he was such a great friend of mine we talked all

00:57:14.520 the time would speak all the time talking about politics we talked about god we talked about

00:57:19.800 everything you can talk about he was a special person and i want to just thank erica she was

00:57:24.840 put into a rough situation don't kid yourself that was a that's a rough situation those people

00:57:30.200 think they think it's easy i told her not so easy erica i said but she loved that man more than

00:57:37.640 anything else and she's done a really terrific job i want to thank her on behalf of all of us

00:57:46.920 because together we're making america great again and this november we're going to win the midterms

00:57:52.360 we're going to win and we're going to win like never before for some reason

00:57:57.960 even if you have a great presidency if you haven't i don't think there's been one like this

00:58:02.600 and we have some good news i'll tell you about a little would anybody like to hear about iran

00:58:06.920 little bit you know this was scheduled a long time ago and i said let's not do any media for

00:58:15.400 a little while here i am this is a sort of interesting they're all waiting look at all

00:58:19.800 the fake news back there it's unbelievable we could fill this place up four times a lot of

00:58:28.200 would anybody like to give up your seat allow somebody to but but it's really it's really been

00:58:34.680 an incredible period of time and i'll tell you about it but in 2024 turning points grassroots

00:58:41.880 army helped us win arizona in an absolute landslide we won this one we won all seven swing

00:58:50.120 states we won the electoral college 312 to 226 we won the popular vote by millions of votes and we

00:58:59.040 We won, and that's the first time in decades that a Republican, I don't know what that's

00:59:04.280 all about, won the popular vote, but we won by a lot of, we won 86% of all counties.

00:59:10.440 Now think of that, counties, to me, that's the biggest of all, most important of all,

00:59:15.920 86% of all counties in America, 2,700 to 525.

00:59:21.820 That's called a landslide.

00:59:23.660 And I want to thank everybody at Turning Point Action who's working tirelessly to help us get

00:59:29.780 out the vote this November 3rd. And I especially want to thank all of the executives and Erica

00:59:37.220 Kirk in particular. Thank you. This will be a great and brilliant day for the world

00:59:47.960 because Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business.

00:59:54.920 The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971.

00:59:59.480 Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce.

01:00:02.900 Well, fast forward to today, and the U.S. dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power.

01:00:09.800 Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%.

01:00:14.440 That's why central banks are buying gold at record levels.

01:00:17.960 That's why major firms like Vanguard and BlackRide hold significant positions in gold.

01:00:24.680 And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group.

01:00:31.740 But it starts with education.

01:00:33.780 Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event.

01:00:57.440 The dollar lost its anchor in 1971.

01:01:01.520 You don't have to lose yours.

01:01:20.520 Do you owe back taxes or you haven't filed your taxes in years?

01:01:24.960 Now is the time to resolve your tax matters.

01:01:28.160 With the national conversation around abolishing the income tax,

01:01:32.960 the IRS is fighting back and proving it's here to stay by becoming more aggressive than ever before.

01:01:39.440 They're sending out more collection notices, filing more tax liens, and collecting billions more in recent years.

01:01:46.960 If you owe, the IRS can garnish your wages, levy your bank accounts, seize your retirement, and even your home.

01:01:55.720 If you owe or haven't filed, it's not a question of if the IRS will act.

01:02:01.140 It's a question of when it will act.

01:02:03.240 Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand and what they can stop before it's too late.

01:02:16.500 Their powerful programs and strategies can save you thousands or even eliminate your debt entirely if you qualify.

01:02:25.220 Representing yourself or calling the IRS on your own waives your rights and costs you more money.

01:03:08.720 Take advantage of first mover advantage, you move.

01:03:13.660 Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices,

01:03:17.460 but there's another grim reality to this contention.

01:03:21.920 Oil isn't the only resource being constrained.

01:03:24.180 About one-third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region.

01:03:29.180 And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm

01:03:33.720 with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields.

01:03:37.080 When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next.

01:03:41.460 Higher food prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying.

01:03:46.560 That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense.

01:03:51.700 And that's where our friends at MyPatriotSupply come in right now at preparewithbannon.com.

01:04:40.620 is fully open and ready for business

01:04:43.380 and full passage

01:04:44.960 but the naval blockade

01:04:52.340 with the greatest navy in the world

01:04:55.480 from the greatest military the world has ever seen we built it during my first term we built it

01:05:03.480 they said i was crazy we weren't so crazy were we will remain in full force and effect as it

01:05:11.320 pertains to iran until such time as our transaction with iran is 100 complete and fully signed

01:05:18.840 and this process we're getting along well but who knows who knows with anyone but who knows

01:05:27.560 with iran in particular this process should go very quickly and that most of the points are

01:05:33.560 already negotiated and agreed to you'll be very happy the usa will get all nuclear dust you know 0.79

01:05:41.720 what the nuclear dust is that was that white powdery substance created by our b2 bombers those

01:05:48.900 great b2 bombers late one evening seven months ago no money will exchange hands in any way shape or

01:05:57.180 form iran will be and and you know how we're going to get the dust right iran we were going to take

01:06:04.420 it anyway but taking it taking it that way is slightly more dangerous but we're going to get

01:06:11.180 it anyway but Iran with the help of the USA has removed or is removing all of the sea mines and

01:06:18.780 most importantly it never agreed and you'll understand they will never have a nuclear weapon

01:06:26.060 they will never have a nuclear weapon and somebody said how are we going to get the nuclear dust 1.00

01:06:38.080 We're going to get it by going in with Iran, with lots of excavators, because the B2s, remember when 1.00

01:06:44.240 fake news CNN said, well, maybe obliteration is too strong a word. Obliteration. That's so deep. 1.00

01:06:52.860 We need the biggest excavators you can imagine. But we're going to go in together with Iran. 1.00

01:06:57.160 We're going to get it. We're going to take it back home to the USA. 1.00

01:06:59.600 very simply and now that the harmless straight situation is almost over i received a call from

01:07:09.760 nato asking if we would like some help thank you very much nato and i told them i would have liked

01:07:19.840 your help two months ago but now i really don't want your help anymore

01:07:23.840 because they were absolutely useless when we needed them but actually we never needed them

01:07:33.740 they needed us they need us they need us so badly you know it's a little bit like if you're a

01:07:41.100 politician it's hard to believe i'm a politician but after i won people came up to me sir i'd like

01:07:47.080 to make a major contribution to campaign and i said listen just so you understand campaign

01:07:52.920 contributions after I won don't count. Okay? They don't count. And NATO, after we won,

01:08:01.880 that doesn't count either. It's the same thing. But you have to remember that because we spend

01:08:10.360 hundreds of billions of dollars a year. We spend money. We spend, I would say, in many cases,

01:08:20.960 close to a trillion dollars over a couple of years a trillion us to help them and we're always

01:08:27.860 helping them and this was just a military excursion this isn't the big this isn't the big time

01:08:36.260 you know we built a military so great i'm so proud of it's one of the including space force

01:08:41.480 you know you see all of that when you see those rockets go one look up there there's space force

01:08:48.580 we all created space forces didn't exist we were losing to china and to russia in space 0.58

01:08:54.420 and now we're so far ahead of them both you wouldn't believe it but yesterday on top of

01:09:00.420 it all we achieved what everyone said was impossible an unprecedented ceasefire between

01:09:05.700 israel and lebanon and that hasn't taken place in 78 years 78 years our deal with iran is

01:09:15.860 is not in any way tied to Lebanon, but we will make Lebanon great again.

01:09:21.380 I mean, it's about time we did so we've we've sort of the world has forgotten them.

01:09:26.820 And they're good people who have lived like hell for a long period of time. 0.98

01:09:31.080 And hopefully the situation with Hezbollah will get straightened out quickly.

01:09:37.160 But I want to thank the country of Pakistan and its great prime minister and

01:09:43.200 It's great, great Field Marshal.

01:09:44.740 He's a great Field Marshal.

01:09:46.660 Two fantastic people for helping.

01:09:48.920 They really are terrific people.

01:09:51.900 And I also want to thank Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait.

01:09:57.300 They've been amazing.

01:09:58.500 They've all helped tremendously.

01:10:00.440 Tremendously.

01:10:05.520 And it took courage for them.

01:10:07.280 Not easy.

01:10:08.080 Not easy. 1.00

01:10:08.800 They were living with what they call the bully of the Middle East.

01:10:11.880 They had the bully. 0.92

01:10:12.500 Iran was the bully of the Middle East they're not the bully anymore with the

01:10:16.820 help of everyone here today this has been by far the most successful first

01:10:22.000 year of any administration in the history of our country acknowledged by

01:10:26.060 everybody to begin with I ended eight wars and it may be a little early to say

01:10:34.640 this but if we add Iran and Lebanon that will be ten wars ended and many many

01:10:41.420 millions of lives saved think of how many lives we've saved starting on day

01:10:50.640 one we ended the illegal invasion of America that's an invasion by criminals

01:10:57.580 many many criminals murderers drug dealers prisoners they emptied out 0.54

01:11:03.440 their prisons into our country and we took the most dangerous unsafe violent

01:11:09.360 and open border and created the most secure border in U.S. history, one of the most secure 0.92

01:11:15.280 borders anywhere in the world, with zero illegal aliens coming into our country in the past 11

01:11:20.860 months. Zero. And in 2025, we achieved the largest drop in violent crime ever recorded.

01:11:30.160 That's despite all of these people that came into our country, many of them are now gone,

01:11:34.820 I'm pleased to tell you the murder rate isn't it a terrible thing to be talking about murder

01:11:40.140 but you got to say it at least if it's good news I guess it's good news but the murder rate

01:11:45.260 reached the lowest level in over 125 years 1900 the year 1900 before my father was born my father

01:11:56.400 was great before he was born the flow of deadly fentanyl pouring across our border is down by

01:12:02.840 astounding 59%. And as you probably noticed if you watch the news, illegal drugs coming in by

01:12:14.900 ocean or sea are down by 97%. And we're trying to find out who the 3% 0.99

01:12:26.960 is because I consider them to be perhaps the bravest people anywhere in the world.

01:12:36.200 Boom.

01:12:39.280 Or they don't watch television or something.

01:12:43.420 We pass the largest tax cuts in American history, the largest spending cuts in American history,

01:12:50.200 the largest regulation cuts in American history, and the largest investment in border security

01:12:56.200 in the history of our country.

01:12:59.620 And starting my first day in office, 1.00

01:13:02.200 we banned the transgender mutilization of our children. 1.00

01:13:11.400 And we made it the official policy of the United States of America 0.99

01:13:16.220 that there are only two genders, male and female.

01:13:27.000 that was easy could you imagine if i was up here 20 years ago or 15 years ago probably 12 years ago

01:13:36.120 then i said there are only two genders male and female people say what the hell is he saying that 0.60

01:13:41.000 for is he crazy that's got to be the worst speech i've ever heard why is he saying that

01:13:47.480 or why is he saying that we got men out of women's sports can you imagine 0.55

01:13:53.480 saying that 15 years ago 15 years ago you said and we got men out of women's

01:14:00.760 sports the audience said what's wrong with that guy that's the craziest thing

01:14:05.480 i've ever heard and we got critical race theory out of our schools

01:14:15.480 and we abolished dei across the entire federal government

01:14:23.480 And we eliminated so-called affirmative action in federal contracting and university admissions.

01:14:30.700 If you get great marks and have great scores, and your boards are good, everything is good,

01:14:36.500 you're getting in. People can't go before. We have a country now that, again,

01:14:44.240 is based on merit. That's the way we became great.

01:14:48.340 But we have to win the midterms and all of these things, it'll stay with us forever.

01:14:58.240 But if we don't win the midterms, I said it during my State of the Union speech when

01:15:02.700 I interviewed and talked to some people backstage, I said, you know, I'd like to have some of

01:15:08.040 these people called out for their greatness.

01:15:13.700 And we gave out, as you know that night, the Congressional Medal of Honor to a young

01:15:18.360 man who was flying a helicopter with practically his legs shot off.

01:15:23.300 And he landed in Venezuela perfectly with a lot of men on board, like 48.

01:15:29.260 And if that goes down, the Venezuela, incredible attack.

01:15:33.820 Nobody killed.

01:15:36.460 Hundreds of millions of barrels of oil taken out.

01:15:39.200 The relationship with Venezuela is great.

01:15:41.380 work. It's like a great partnership. But if that doesn't happen, we looked at the Democrats.

01:15:47.920 Not one was clapping. Medal of Honor. Then we interviewed a mother, a beautiful mother,

01:15:54.320 whose daughter was slashed from behind by a maniac. She could hardly stand. It was eight

01:16:00.900 months ago. She could hardly stand crying uncontrollably. Not one Democrat was clapping.

01:16:08.160 then we introduced a war hero from 100 years he was 101 years old gave him the congressional medal

01:16:15.060 of honor for his great heroics wasn't recognized until i came along not one democrat clapped

01:16:21.500 not one democrat and now they don't want to pay our border security and they don't want to pay our

01:16:31.140 great patriots of ice you know ice is a tough job you got those murders that they allowed into our

01:16:36.660 country. Think of it. Thousands of murderers came into our country. 11,888, 50% of whom killed 0.84

01:16:47.600 more than one person. These are violent criminals. And ICE is tough. And I don't want that job. And 0.98

01:16:57.020 most of you don't either. I have a couple of friends in the front row, and they're tough

01:17:00.880 people, but they're not that tough. They don't want that job. And if we don't have ICE, and if

01:17:05.140 don't have our great border patrol and we don't have our great policemen and all of these people

01:17:09.140 they're incredible they keep our country great they keep our country safe and the democrats

01:17:15.220 the democrats want to defund them they wanted to fund ice they want ice terminated

01:17:23.700 and you know whether you're liberal conservative doesn't matter

01:17:26.980 democrat republican independent it's crazy and i looked at them

01:17:32.740 as we went through about seven moments when you had to clap and they didn't I said these people 0.97

01:17:40.380 are crazy they're crazy and you know I don't know if you noticed the word was passed to them 0.95

01:17:49.520 from people that were watching I guess on television maybe standing backstage they said 0.99

01:17:55.680 this guy is killing you start clapping and the last half hour they were clapping for everything

01:18:01.920 I said. They were clapping for everything, things they shouldn't have been clapping for

01:18:07.000 because they heard they were getting killed. Just remember that night. That night was a very

01:18:11.660 telling night. And we don't want to go back to that. We don't want to open borders where millions

01:18:17.600 of people pour into our country. We want to have safe borders. We want people coming into our

01:18:23.460 country, but they want to come in and we have to have them come in legally. Very simple. 1.00

01:18:31.920 So I signed a historic executive order, starting the process of shutting down the federal

01:18:41.520 Department of Education and sending education back to the states.

01:18:47.300 Thank you, Linda McMahon, Linda McMahon, you know, education, move back to the states 0.58

01:18:55.880 where it should be. 0.64

01:18:56.880 You don't want to have a bureaucrat from Washington who couldn't care less about your community

01:19:01.240 telling you how to educate your child you have your local boards and your parent groups one

01:19:08.020 thing I know you love your children I'm not sure that they do but we've largely removed education

01:19:13.780 when we just did it just move them back you know we're going supposed to go through a long process

01:19:19.240 thank you by the way to Linda McMahon she's been fantastic and fantastic and we removed over 300,000

01:19:29.740 bureaucrats from federal payrolls they had sometimes 10 11 12 people to do one job and they

01:19:36.580 just sit there and you know what i have a lot of respect for whatever but we you can't run a country

01:19:43.400 like that you can't as the expression goes has anyone ever heard of it make america great again

01:19:48.480 you can't make america great again when you do that so we've done that and you know many of those

01:19:55.220 people are very happy because right now more people are working in the united states that

01:19:59.140 at any time in the history of our country and many of those people that had these boring lousy jobs

01:20:06.980 where they weren't even jobs federal government they went out they got jobs in the private sector

01:20:12.340 because we have the most people working that we've ever had before and they're making more money and

01:20:16.960 enjoying their job it's sort of an amazing phenomenon after decades of other countries

01:20:22.840 stealing our jobs and plundering our wealth thanks to our strong policy on tariffs we cut our

01:20:29.880 gaping trade deficit now if you do one percent it's you're considered like a genius if you do

01:20:37.240 two or three percent it's unheard of we cut it by 59 this year our trade gap it's the largest drop

01:20:47.160 of a trade gap. Think of it. It's the largest drop in history, the history of our country.

01:20:55.240 59%. Can you believe it? So if you're a genius with 1% and really a super genius at three,

01:21:04.180 what are you with 59? I don't know. As part of our tax cuts, we delivered,

01:21:11.600 a lot of you benefited by this no tax on tips no tax on overtime no tax on social security for our

01:21:19.240 great seniors you know the great big beautiful bill is really the great big beautiful tax cut

01:21:28.240 bill but it was also we gave you the right to deduct your interest payments on a car loan but

01:21:34.360 only if it's made in the usa that's been incredible you never had that right before

01:21:38.560 And this week, millions of Americans received the largest tax refunds of their lives.

01:21:43.740 The average is more than $4,000 per file.

01:21:47.500 Or think of that.

01:21:48.460 So nobody knew this was going to happen.

01:21:50.660 But now they're getting their refunds back, and they're much larger than I said.

01:21:55.880 In other words, I under-exaggerated, which is good.

01:22:00.040 And in four long years, Sleepy Joe Biden, have you heard of him?

01:22:05.560 what a president what a disaster but the whole party it was the part he didn't run the country

01:22:12.780 the people surrounding the resolute desk in the oval office they ran the party radical left

01:22:18.280 lunatics but in four long years sleepy joe biden got less than one trillion dollars invested in

01:22:25.640 our country much less and in 12 months so think of it four years ours is 12 months and it's actually

01:22:32.320 11 because we haven't gotten the last month. So in 11 months versus, think of that, versus four

01:22:39.020 years, they did less than a trillion. In 11 months, we did $18 trillion of new investments

01:22:46.080 coming into our country. And that's a record for any country anywhere in the world by a lot.

01:22:55.340 And the king of Saudi Arabia told me when I was in Saudi Arabia, they invested $2 trillion in

01:23:01.520 our country. But he looked at me, he said, you know, Mr. President, a short time ago,

01:23:07.440 we viewed the United States as a dead country. We thought it was dead.

01:23:12.220 And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. And he's right,

01:23:16.840 the hottest country anywhere in the world.

01:23:21.640 For years before I took office, people thought that America was in decline, that our best days

01:23:27.700 were in the past and that the sun was setting on American power. But no one thinks that anymore

01:23:34.600 because we are indeed the strongest, the hottest, the best country anywhere in the world. And you

01:23:41.680 know what? Nobody laughs at us anymore. They were laughing. They thought we were

01:23:46.060 a laughing mess. Under this administration, America is on the march and America is on the rise

01:23:56.700 like we haven't seen maybe ever before we are respected again as a country and we're respected

01:24:02.420 at levels that nobody thought possible unlike past leaders this administration does not apologize

01:24:08.600 for american power we are not ashamed of american might and we do not hesitate to defend the

01:24:15.880 american people which is what we've been doing for the last two months because iran cannot have

01:24:21.960 a nuclear weapon it's very simple 0.96

01:24:24.220 For years, we were ruled by fools who let every third-rate country push us around and 0.97

01:24:37.180 bleed us dry on trade and everything else they could get away with. They took advantage 0.99

01:24:42.300 of us on trade, not any more than that. But those days are over, and they're gone forever.

01:24:48.700 America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger

01:24:56.780 loomed and let our country go to hell. We are descended from the likes of George Washington,

01:25:03.340 Andrew Jackson, Generals Ulysses S. Grant, Douglas MacArthur, General George Patton.

01:25:11.100 Our ancestors knew exactly what to do with America's enemies. Beat them and beat them good.

01:25:17.560 that's what they had to do that's what they had to do and if nato teaches us any one thing and i

01:25:25.000 hope you all watched because they weren't there for us if it teaches us any one thing we have to

01:25:32.920 rely on ourselves we can't rely on outside countries and outside sources so do not listen

01:25:42.680 Listen to the craven and cowardly voices who tell you America needs to think small

01:25:48.160 or to shrink from our duties or potential. 0.71

01:25:51.720 Most people, they wanted to, you know, this recent situation, they wanted to do it.

01:25:58.700 But they said, oh, let's not get involved.

01:26:01.440 Sometimes you have to get involved.

01:26:03.000 You have no choice but to get involved.

01:26:05.400 If you're going to remain great, sometimes you have to get involved.

01:26:08.800 Remember, I'm the peacemaker.

01:26:10.380 I'm the one that settled eight wars.

01:26:12.980 I settled a war that would have killed 30 to 50 million people, India, Pakistan.

01:26:20.940 You have to sometimes get involved.

01:26:23.140 We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed, and our

01:26:29.020 task is to defend it.

01:26:31.740 We have to defend it.

01:26:33.520 Past leaders used our wealth and power to make other countries rich and treated our

01:26:38.480 military like a charity for the world while getting barely a word of thanks in return.

01:26:44.060 Nobody thanks us. They don't say, oh, thank you so much. They don't thank us. They think

01:26:49.280 we're stupid. That's really what it is. They don't thank us. Now we're using American strength 1.00

01:26:55.220 to advance American interests for American citizens and to ensure that we remain the

01:27:00.960 most dominant country on the face of the earth, which we're doing at levels that nobody can

01:27:05.520 believe, actually.

01:27:07.620 Every branch of our armed forces is setting new recruitment records, records that nobody

01:27:13.440 thought would be possible because everyone wants to be a part of the greatest military

01:27:19.080 the world has ever seen.

01:27:22.220 In January, our warriors flew straight into the heart of the Venezuelan capital, captured

01:27:28.400 the outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro and brought him to face American justice which is what he's

01:27:37.540 doing right now and very soon this great strength will also bring about a day 70 years in waiting

01:27:48.940 it's called a new dawn for Cuba we're going to help them out with Cuba we have a lot of great

01:27:55.840 We have Cuban Americans, not too many people in this audience, I don't think, but you go

01:28:01.980 to Miami, we have people, Cuban Americans, people that were brutally treated, whose families

01:28:08.380 were killed and brutalized, and now watch what happens.

01:28:14.960 Under this governing philosophy, instead of locking down our energy resources and putting

01:28:19.840 ourselves at the mercy of those that hate us, and they hate us, and they don't respect

01:28:24.980 us, but they do now.

01:28:26.740 We are unleashing our own supplies with those really beautiful words, perhaps you've heard

01:28:31.660 them before, drill, baby, drill, right?

01:28:40.080 And because of that, we now produce more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined.

01:28:47.980 And very soon that number will more than double.

01:28:52.240 pretty good in addition our new partner venezuela venezuela has been great really doing a good job

01:29:01.520 over there is adding very substantially to that number likewise instead of using our wealth to

01:29:10.240 throw open our borders and feed house clothes and police the entire world we're restoring the

01:29:15.760 The principle that America's immigration policies must serve the best interests of America 0.64

01:29:22.140 and its great citizens, it's called America first, it's very simple, America first.

01:29:30.260 And we'll help other countries, but we have to view it as America first, otherwise we're

01:29:34.300 not going to have a country left.

01:29:36.340 At this moment, Democrats have shut down the Department of Homeland Security to shield

01:29:41.000 the world's most heinous and violent criminals from deportation. They want to keep them in our

01:29:47.360 country. They have a murderer killed many people. They want to keep him in our country. They're

01:29:51.820 fighting very hard to keep him here. There's something I'm telling you, there's something

01:29:56.000 wrong with these people. They want to protect deranged monsters like the illegal alien from 0.97

01:30:02.080 Haiti who recently beat a mother of two to death with a hammer at a Florida gas station for all to 0.98

01:30:09.040 see it was all on tape you saw it just a week ago last month a migrant criminal with 15 prior

01:30:16.000 charges and four prior deportations threw an 83 year old veteran onto the subway tracks in new

01:30:23.020 york city killing him instantly as he got run over by a subway train threw him in it's all on tape

01:30:32.000 Democrats want to protect him. They want to protect criminal aliens. Republicans want to

01:30:38.760 put them in jail or ideally deport them as long as they never come back.

01:30:47.440 And under my leadership, we ended asylum fraud. We ended all catch and release. We stopped third 0.65

01:30:53.400 world migration we suspended all refugee resettlement except for persecuted south africans 0.91

01:31:02.280 they're being persecuted in south africa in south africa there's a very horrible thing going on in

01:31:09.800 south africa it's a genocide it's a horrible thing and we made it possible for these people 0.86

01:31:15.320 to come into our country they kill people if they're white if you're a white person 0.98

01:31:20.120 And I'll tell you what, I did great with the black vote, the African-American vote. 0.97

01:31:25.420 And they understand this better than anybody. 0.99

01:31:28.040 South Africa, they kill white farmers. 1.00

01:31:32.100 And we said, you come into our country and we let you come in. 1.00

01:31:36.680 You get a green card and you get a passport. 0.99

01:31:39.280 You get you can stay in our country. 1.00

01:31:42.880 Terrible. 1.00

01:31:43.980 Terrible.

01:31:44.600 We can't let it go on.

01:31:45.720 We don't have to talk about it.

01:31:47.820 People don't like talking about it.

01:31:49.680 You know, New York Times wrote a story about it years ago.

01:31:53.200 That was the only story they ever wrote, because I'm sure the reporter got fired immediately.

01:31:58.960 But we've deported a record number of criminal aliens, a record.

01:32:02.900 Nobody's ever seen the numbers like this.

01:32:04.660 And for the first time in more than 50 years, we now have reverse migration.

01:32:09.460 A beautiful thing, actually.

01:32:10.620 and just imagine where our country would be today if instead of spending trillions of dollars on 0.59

01:32:18.120 illegal migrants who come into our country illegally and spending it on the green news

01:32:24.760 scam one of the greatest scams in history remember climate change global warming all of this they 0.97

01:32:31.540 actually had global warming remember that that wasn't working because we're actually cooling as

01:32:36.560 planet then they had another one and another one and another one and they were wrong and then they

01:32:43.200 just said climate change because climate change takes care of heat snow whatever you have but

01:32:50.240 past leaders that used american wealth and power to raise our civilization to brand new heights 0.77

01:32:56.960 this is the choice for every voter in the midterms democrats want to drag america down

01:33:02.880 destroy our country put it into crime poverty and squalor really the squalor of a third world nation

01:33:10.080 we would have been if i didn't win this election within a short period of time we would have been

01:33:15.760 a third world nation hard to believe isn't it huh republicans want to build america up

01:33:24.400 into a nation with no rivals and human history to make your family safer and wealthier than ever

01:33:30.480 before. We're making your family safe. We're making you safe. So if you want a poor and weak

01:33:41.580 America, a country that's riddled with crime, death, disease, and nothing but problems,

01:33:51.520 you should immediately vote Democrat. If you want a rich and strong and a country that you're

01:33:58.560 be proud of america you must go out in the midterms and vote republican we need that

01:34:09.760 and i was going to say that when a president wins republican or democrat for some reason they lose

01:34:15.600 the midterms often most of the time it doesn't make sense even if you have a president who's

01:34:21.040 doing a good job and i think i'm doing the best job if anybody really i do

01:34:24.400 do when you add it all up when you add it all or when you add it all up nobody's done what we've

01:34:31.760 done but for some reason a president republican democrat the party does poorly in the midterms

01:34:40.100 it doesn't make sense i'm still trying to figure it out we'll go out i think probably hire a couple

01:34:45.760 of psychiatrists what the hell is going on in your mind how does that happen because it should

01:34:51.540 be the opposite we're doing well we're doing our job we're ending wars all over the place

01:34:56.260 by the way with the exception of our little excursion and where do you see prices fall did

01:35:01.140 you see oil is down today and prices are down today but we inherited the highest prices in the

01:35:09.800 history of our country we inherited that and then we worked on it and what a job we've done and we

01:35:16.340 took inflation way down we inherited the worst inflation in history and what a job but we

01:35:21.520 had to put out that flame. We had to put out that horrible flyer, really, that was taking place in

01:35:26.920 Iran. We had to do it. Otherwise, you want to see a problem? Give them a nuclear weapon. They'd use 1.00

01:35:34.060 it the first day. You want to see a problem? They would use it the first day. It's not going to

01:35:38.420 happen. So we're thrilled to be joined today by many incredible Arizona leaders who will help

01:35:43.940 achieve this victory, including candidates for Congress. Great. A lot of great athletes running.

01:42:02.020 here but with your help we'll continue to deliver on our mandate from the american people like no

01:42:08.420 president has ever delivered before it's what we're doing we have a mandate you know they said

01:42:13.420 if we could win three or four of the swing states that would be incredible because it's a little

01:42:18.320 harder for a republican for some reason i'll tell you what the reason is they cheat that's actually

01:42:22.500 the reason they cheat like hell remember i got out i said make it too big to rig right too big

01:42:29.620 to rig don't believe the polls the polls had us way up don't believe the polls too big to rig we

01:42:36.480 We made it too big to rig.

01:42:37.760 Just keep going.

01:42:38.760 No matter what you see, go out and vote.

01:42:41.360 And we made it too big to rig.

01:42:46.500 But they say, if I want three or four of the swing states, that should do it.

01:42:50.720 And we want all seven, right?

01:42:52.420 All seven of the swings.

01:42:55.060 As you remember, I recently directed the secretary of war.

01:42:58.960 How good is Pete Hegseth doing, by the way?

01:43:06.240 To begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena.

01:43:14.280 And I figured this was a good crowd because I know you people, you're really into that.

01:43:18.000 I don't know if I am.

01:43:20.220 So I'm pleased to report today, I thought I'd save it for this crowd because you're a little

01:43:24.920 bit out there, you know, a little bit.

01:43:28.280 That this process is well underway and we found many very interesting documents, I must

01:43:33.120 say. And the first releases will begin very, very soon. So you can go out and see if that

01:43:38.440 phenomena is correct. You'll figure it out. Let me know. Let me know. But we've had a

01:43:43.420 lot of questions. It's something that really captivates the mind. There's no question about

01:43:49.980 it. With your support, we will crush violent crime, impose harsh new penalties for repeat

01:43:57.280 offenders i mean we have people that have been taken in 28 times we have some 28 times and they

01:44:03.680 let them go out two days later crack down on marxist prosecutors and rogue judges the judges

01:44:09.840 are horrible and deadly sanctuary cities in our country and and no cash bail which really started 0.55

01:44:18.640 it all no cash bail is a disaster somebody shoots somebody they go in they just let them out then

01:44:24.400 they go shoot somebody else the same day. We will stop the radical left Democrats rampant looting of

01:44:30.640 your taxpayer dollars and we will win the war on fraud which is being headed by our great vice

01:44:36.460 president J.D. Vance. We're going to win it. We're going to win it. I said J.D. I want that job. I want

01:44:44.580 that job. It's so bad. You look at Minnesota. You look at California. You look at some of these

01:44:49.920 States is so bad Maine believe it or not is terrible Maine who would think 1.00

01:44:53.520 Maine so bad but we're right on their ass we're right on their ass and we will 0.99

01:45:00.160 pass the great health care plan we call it the great health care plan to stop 0.99

01:45:04.200 all payments to big insurance companies and give the money what we want to do is

01:45:08.700 this we want the insurance companies to be cut out we want our government not to

01:45:15.680 pay trillions of dollars to insurance companies that to pay that same amount of money directly

01:45:21.300 to the people directly and you go out and buy your own health care.

01:45:28.220 And everybody likes it.

01:45:29.360 The problem is the Democrats don't like it because they're owned by the insurance companies.

01:45:35.080 So they vote no, no.

01:45:37.920 But we're going to get it done one way or the other.

01:45:39.620 We will make most favored nation discounts and drug prices permanent law.

01:45:44.640 So I got you drug reductions on prescription drugs, most favored nation.

01:45:52.560 You know what that means?

01:45:53.680 That means we pay the lowest of any nation in the world.

01:45:57.680 When I got into office, we paid the highest of any nation in the world.

01:46:02.200 I got the nations to agree because I threatened them with tariffs if they don't do it.

01:46:06.800 And I got the insurance companies, I got the drug companies to do it.

01:46:10.780 So your drug prices are going to be reduced by 60, 70, 80, and in some cases even more

01:46:16.360 than 80 percent.

01:46:18.540 Nobody has ever done that.

01:46:21.840 And that alone should win us the midterm, but it won't, because nobody wants to write

01:46:26.000 the fake news, doesn't want to write about it, it's unbelievable.

01:46:29.360 With the help of our secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., we will make America healthy again.

01:46:37.820 Maha. Has anyone ever heard of Maha?

01:46:42.160 We will make America healthy again.

01:46:44.600 He's doing a great job, Bobby.

01:46:46.460 And Dr. Oz is doing a great job.

01:46:49.160 Already, we eliminated petroleum-based food dyes,

01:46:52.440 reformed the vaccine schedule,

01:46:54.500 and introduced the real food pyramid.

01:46:57.800 We're cleaning up the whole mess.

01:46:59.600 It's a mess. 1.00

01:47:01.920 And to help young people afford a house,

01:47:04.140 we will permanently ban Wall Street

01:47:06.020 from buying up thousands and thousands of single-family homes

01:47:10.500 and taking them off to play.

01:47:13.500 And we will pass the Save America Act

01:47:17.640 to protect our sacred American election.

01:47:24.800 Where all voters must show voter ID,

01:47:27.900 little things like that.

01:47:29.500 All voters must show proof of citizenship.

01:47:32.340 How about that?

01:47:33.320 Who would think? 0.77

01:47:34.720 It's a 97% issue, and the Democrats are holding it back.

01:47:39.360 97.

01:47:40.420 It's 87% with Republicans and Democrats.

01:47:43.620 So even Democrats want it.

01:47:45.560 But the politicians don't want Democrats

01:47:48.060 because when you have policy as bad as they have, 0.92

01:47:51.060 like men playing in women's sports,

01:47:53.500 transgender for everybody, 1.00

01:47:55.740 open borders where people come in totally unvetted, 1.00

01:47:58.420 just walk into our country and criminals all over the world,

01:48:01.940 when you have the only way you can win is to cheat.

01:48:03.920 Really, I really believe that.

01:48:05.540 So they don't want to have voter ID.

01:48:07.020 They don't want to have proof of citizenship.

01:48:09.580 But we'll get it.

01:48:10.820 We're going to get it.

01:48:11.540 And no mail-in ballots, except for illness, disability,

01:48:15.560 military or travel, mail-in ballots are a big fraud.

01:48:20.120 It's a big fraud.

01:48:21.000 The mail-in vote is a big fraud.

01:48:22.580 And we will also add into permanent statutes 0.99

01:48:26.180 a very simple thing called no men in women's sports, 0.79

01:48:32.460 And no transgender mutilization surgery for your children. 0.91

01:48:37.140 We're putting that in.

01:48:39.300 We're putting that in because I call them best of.

01:48:43.240 Do you know what best of?

01:48:44.140 Best of Trump.

01:48:45.280 Can you believe it?

01:48:46.380 Best of Trump.

01:48:47.840 Men, did you ever see the weightlifting records?

01:48:51.120 For 18 years, the record stood held by a young woman

01:48:54.980 who was quite strong. 0.90

01:48:56.660 It was like 212 pounds.

01:48:58.320 That's a lot.

01:48:59.960 It stood for 18 years.

01:49:02.280 And then a young man decided to go the opposite route.

01:49:08.120 And he wanted to become a young woman.

01:49:11.360 And he transitioned.

01:49:13.500 And he was a failed weightlifter in the men's division. 0.99

01:49:16.440 But as a woman, he was brutal. 0.95

01:49:18.840 And he broke the record. 0.95

01:49:21.740 Remember, this is a record that stood for 18 years.

01:49:25.580 They'd put an eighth of an ounce here, an eighth of an ounce here for 18 years.

01:49:29.780 They couldn't quite do it.

01:49:30.880 He broke the record by 112 pounds or the swimming records or the long distance running records.

01:49:41.400 You could go short distance also.

01:49:43.860 Did you see recently there was a long distance race.

01:49:48.600 It went on forever.

01:49:50.060 One of these triathlete type races that top men, top women.

01:49:55.360 the man won by five hours 18 minutes and 57 seconds in fact he went home and took a nap

01:50:05.740 before getting his award he slept for exactly five hours then he got up and picked up his award

01:50:13.400 it's very demeaning to women it's very unfair to women but together we will defend our cherished

01:50:20.900 American heritage. We will defeat America's enemies. We will unshackle our magnificent

01:50:26.860 destiny. We will return American astronauts to the moon, and we will plant our flag 0.85

01:50:32.800 someday soon on Mars. For almost 250 years, our nation has stood as an inspiration to humanity

01:50:42.220 and proof of what American faith and courage can achieve. It's amazing what's happened,

01:50:48.040 especially what's happened over the last year our ancestors won our independence vanquished

01:50:55.360 foreign armies and conquered wild frontiers they fought perilous battles crossed jagged mountains

01:51:02.360 and in the middle of empty deserts they built gleaming cities like phoenix arizona have you heard

01:51:08.940 of it. Right from a desert, generations before us poured out their blood, sweat and tears to make

01:51:20.340 America into the most exceptional nation the world has ever known. And today we are making it more

01:51:26.120 exceptional than ever thought possible than ever before. With your support in these midterms,

01:51:33.180 As we will continue this momentum and achieve total and ultimate victory for America, we

01:51:38.820 will fight, fight, fight and win, win, win.

01:51:47.300 And together, we will make America powerful again.

01:51:54.320 We will make America wealthy again.

01:51:58.860 We will make America healthy again.

01:52:03.180 We will make America strong again.

01:52:07.700 We will make America proud again.

01:52:11.900 We will make America safe again.

01:52:16.200 And we will make America great again.

01:52:21.000 Thank you very much, Arizona.

01:52:22.840 Thank you.

01:52:23.840 Thank you.

01:52:24.840 Win those midterms.

01:52:25.900 Thank you, everybody.

01:52:33.180 Young man, there's no need to feel down

01:52:58.020 I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground

01:53:01.740 I said, young man, cause you're in a new town

01:53:05.460 There's no need to be unhappy

01:53:09.560 Young man, there's a place you can go

01:53:12.940 I said, young man, when you're short on your dough

01:53:16.780 You can stay there

01:53:18.460 And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a new town

01:53:25.100 Okay, right there, the President of the United States on fire

01:53:31.720 Brian Glenn's going to join us momentarily from actually in the venue itself.

01:53:38.040 Let's go to Bo Davidson.

01:53:39.080 Bo, your take on this President of the United States in rare form on a Friday afternoon in the spring.

01:53:46.260 Your thoughts, sir?

01:53:48.880 Well, thankfully, Steve, he did touch on a lot of the themes that I hope that he would,

01:53:53.060 including some of the ones that you brought up domestically.

01:53:55.400 So I think we should just kind of parse those out and then play them out.

01:53:58.680 I mean, you know, I think the themes were dominance and recalibration. 0.68

01:54:01.200 So military dominance, obviously not letting Iran ever have a nuke, space dominance. 0.74

01:54:06.060 He did talk about Space Force and what the strides we've made there. 0.62

01:54:09.540 NATO, you know, the NATO recalibration saying, you know, they wanted us, but that, you know, we don't need them.

01:54:14.320 And that lesson that's learned, we have to rely on ourselves.

01:54:17.280 I think he's hinting at what may come in terms of a big NATO recalibration.

01:54:21.420 Of course, the Middle East recalibration we talked about, he did touch on that, you know, with the brokering peace between Israel and Lebanon, ending eight wars, maybe two more.

01:54:29.980 if we tack those on. South American recalibration, as I mentioned, he talked about putting Maduro in

01:54:34.980 his place and facing justice. Cuban recalibration, seeing a new dawn in Cuba. And then Steve,

01:54:41.260 to your point about a lot of the domestic recalibrations that would appease MAGA,

01:54:45.740 he went down a laundry list of a lot of the things that he's done that I think make MAGA

01:54:49.940 happy and proud. Stopped illegal, you know, illegal invasion by immigrants, largest drop in

01:54:55.240 violent crime, largest tax cuts, border security, ban transmutilation of kids, got critical race

01:55:01.100 theory out, got DEI out, cut the trade deficit by what is like 59% or so. No tax on tips, on

01:55:07.640 overtime, on social security, ended third world migration, restoring law and order. I think we 0.94

01:55:12.700 all want that. And then hinting towards the great healthcare plan, getting those most favored

01:55:18.000 nations prices. These are things to come. A permanent ban on Wall Street from snatching up

01:55:23.140 homes for single-family homes so that houses can be affordable again for young people.

01:55:28.200 I think that was important. And then, of course, passing the Save America Act,

01:55:32.160 common-sense legislation. So in one sense, Steve, it was a retrospect of what he's done that's so

01:55:37.060 well. In the other sense, it was also broadcast into the future. But there's the other element

01:55:41.360 that I think we have to talk about, which is kind of what Brian said, the midterm recalibration.

01:55:46.340 What does that look like? What Andy Biggs said, that Arizona is the fulcrum of national politics.

01:55:51.580 He mentioned a lot of the people that are running in races there, which I think is amazing,

01:55:55.160 but I don't know if he said, Steve, exactly what it's going to take. He mentioned that the

01:56:01.240 conundrum of the fact that the president's party usually loses in a midterm and that,

01:56:05.220 that that's a psychological conundrum, but what do we do to change that? I think that's really

01:56:10.240 the question that to me is left a bit unanswered. Do you, in, in his laying out the themes of

01:56:17.260 dominance and recalibration do you think and you know he prides himself in being able to weave to

01:56:23.420 weave it all together do you see concisely the the the argument that he's going to make uh through

01:56:32.960 the 250th because remember between now and election day obviously he believes he's bringing this war

01:56:39.940 to a successful conclusion, Bo.

01:56:43.160 He also, and I think he implied,

01:56:45.880 something's, you know,

01:56:47.140 and there's a huge story

01:56:48.520 saying Politico and other places

01:56:49.700 about Cuba.

01:56:50.440 They're already having

01:56:51.040 some sort of preliminary meetings

01:56:52.340 or negotiations.

01:56:53.920 But we've got it from

01:56:55.340 drawing down the war.

01:56:57.520 You've got the 250th celebration

01:57:00.200 of the anniversary

01:57:01.720 of the beginning of the nation.

01:57:04.120 And then it's a drive to Election Day.

01:57:06.500 Do you think you saw

01:57:07.960 some of the big themes

01:57:09.200 that will be the driving themes here to get people out?

01:57:14.520 Because right now, the opposition has put Trump on the ballot.

01:57:18.440 It's all Trump derangement syndrome.

01:57:20.140 As you know, we spent months down in Texas,

01:57:22.700 and I can tell you the power they've got in Texas right now

01:57:25.540 is Trump's on the ballot from the left.

01:57:27.540 We have to put Trump on the ballot from the right.

01:57:30.660 Do you see the themes coming out for a successful fall campaign?

01:57:35.380 i do but i think steve that that what is is making things so uncertain right now is the instability

01:57:43.140 people don't like instability markets don't like instability once i think that levels out and i

01:57:48.720 think eric bowling said it on your show earlier you need about 30 days for these prices to start

01:57:52.660 come back down it's great to see oil at 80 a barrel or wherever it dipped down in the 70s

01:57:57.520 today but that's got to trickle down to people and so when we get to this summer of doom the

01:58:01.440 Democrats probably hoped for, if it's no longer a summer of doom and it's a summer of energy

01:58:05.900 independence and energy exports and people are getting money in their pockets and those

01:58:09.380 tax refunds have come in and they're a little rosier than people predicted and the gas prices

01:58:14.100 are back and you can see levels that are under $4 a gallon at your local pump and maybe you can

01:58:18.280 afford to take your family on vacation. I think that's when middle America starts to see the 0.52

01:58:23.520 relief. I think right now it's just been a tense moment. It feels like a tender box. Do you know

01:58:27.700 what i mean and so i think those themes that he's talking about will settle in uh hang on for one

01:58:33.940 second uh beau i want to go we got brian glenn he's with andrew colvette the wingman of charlie

01:58:39.560 kirk and the host of the charlie kirk show now on real america's voice brian glenn we got andrew

01:58:45.220 colvette there let's get what you guys think i couldn't get a better read than from andrew colvette

01:58:50.560 yeah steve says you can't get a better read than talking to you about this event

01:58:56.480 your takeaway from what we saw today yeah i mean this the energy was like right back to 2024 in

01:59:03.280 this room i mean you saw that the students wouldn't even sit down the entire time so the

01:59:07.720 entire section right around president trump was you know seated or off their feet uh just excited

01:59:14.100 there was people dancing before dancing after singing and you could just tell the vibes with

01:59:19.920 some of the news out of iran i mean i know it's been a divisive issue for the base certainly but

01:59:25.760 You know, you can see that light at the end of the tunnel.

01:59:28.040 Everybody I talked to in the hallways, they were like, hey, we're so excited to be done with this.

01:59:32.420 We feel like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

01:59:34.620 So it was just the vibes were good.

01:59:36.240 The energy was good.

01:59:37.500 And it was a really promising sign.

01:59:38.960 Just, you know, outside, people are happy.

01:59:41.980 I mean, it felt like something has turned a corner.

01:59:46.980 Steve and Bo have brought up a good word called recalibrate.

01:59:50.360 This is a recalibration of America First, recalibration of the Republican Party.

01:59:55.700 I said a recalibration of Arizona, bringing the energy from the America First policies,

02:00:01.680 and you spoke of the foreign war, kind of putting a conclusion to that. 0.85

02:00:06.340 That has brought in, there's a lot of boomers in this room.

02:00:09.100 There's a lot of people 65 and over.

02:00:10.960 Very popular, no tax on tip, no tax on overtime, no tax on social security.

02:00:14.960 Then you have the young movement for Turning Point USA.

02:00:17.140 like everyone's coming together to celebrate the republican party yeah well i would tell you that

02:00:22.200 when i was i was watching because you know you know president trump uses these to trial balloon

02:00:27.360 what what's hitting what's not so i was watching for what got the biggest reaction and i will tell

02:00:32.720 you it was domestic domestic domestic whether it was no tax on tips the safety law and order

02:00:38.360 immigration it was like one thing after another you could tell that people's hearts were really

02:00:42.400 in that so I was I was watching for that very specifically but yeah this recalibration again

02:00:47.400 they feel that conclusion coming they're excited about nation building right here at home and I

02:00:52.100 think you can just feel that from the reaction of the crowd I think you can as well you guys are

02:00:56.160 taking this uh college tour you're off to Ohio State University then going down to Baylor

02:01:01.400 University uh give us a little preview of that yeah I mean uh we've got a big one at Ohio State

02:01:07.400 you know we're helping Vivek out we're getting involved with them he's helping us out got to

02:01:11.800 got to get that governor's mansion we have to in ohio and that's gonna be a dog fight and then

02:01:16.560 we're going down to waco and we've got uh tom home and benny johnson the kids are gonna love

02:01:20.660 that one uh it's that waco's gonna be a lot of fun uh and so yeah we're continuing on uh point

02:01:27.020 by point we've also got the uh make heaven crowded tour so don't sleep on the make heaven crowded

02:01:32.240 tour because that's that's taking that revival energy from the memorial memorial taking it out

02:01:36.060 and around and i will just say if we lose the christian backbone of this country we lose the

02:01:41.200 country so we got to keep uh pushing forward on that i agree that's what you guys are in the

02:01:45.180 forefront of that one last question i know you got to bounce uh andy biggs big gubernatorial race

02:01:50.820 katie hobbs we can talk about 22 election all day long uh let's talk about andy biggs and his

02:01:57.100 heartfelt connection and a really a shout out to his wife being the the rock and this and that

02:02:03.100 relationship to keep him going i was not expecting that um you know for those who missed it he got

02:02:07.900 worked up emotional for a good minute because he kept saying that we picked Arizona because this

02:02:14.580 is the place where you can live out the American dream I couldn't have done it without my wife

02:02:18.320 and we still believe in making this state the best state in the country I mean it was phenomenal and

02:02:22.500 I will tell you if there's any doubt of where the base is at the base wants Andy Biggs in the state

02:02:28.380 uh 48 it was it was a really touching and I thought he he reached really deep I think this

02:04:03.840 At the Bo Davidson.

02:04:05.120 One final thought, Steve, from Brett Stevens in today's Times.

02:04:08.120 If past generations could see how well this war has gone compared to the ones they were compelled to fight at a frightening cost,

02:04:14.000 they would marvel at their posterity's comparative good fortune.

02:04:17.320 They would marvel, too, at our inability to appreciate the advantages we now possess.

02:04:22.280 I agree with that.

02:04:23.100 Bo, thank you so much

02:04:25.920 Great job co-hosting here

02:05:07.340 The insurance companies and their lackeys in the Washington swamp have built a Medicare system

02:05:12.940 designed to confuse you and rip you off. Rising premiums, denied claims, fine print nobody but a

02:05:20.720 lobbyist understands. Millions of American seniors are paying too much and getting too little. And

02:05:26.060 worst of all, most don't even know it. Hey, that could be you. That's why if you're already on

02:05:32.720 Medicare or will be soon, you need to talk to our friends at Chapter. They have a team of advisors

02:05:39.180 trained to serve American seniors, not the insurance companies. In under 20 minutes, they can

02:05:44.520 find you the best plan for your needs at the lowest cost. Why? They're a data company. They have all

02:05:51.220 the data on every plan. It's totally free. There's no pressure, no BS, just straightforward, honest
