00:00:00.000
I guess you saw that, but the exemptions that they gave allowed foreign competitors to come in and steal our industry, steal our jobs, and bring them back home and bring them home by the boatload.
00:00:13.020
Crippling imports of foreign steel skyrocketed over the last four years like you have never seen before by over 30 percent.
00:00:24.200
And imports of steel and rebar from Mexico exploded by more than 1,000 percent.
00:00:39.140
But right here, it was then that we announced the crown jewel of our steel industry, U.S. Steel, was being sold into foreign hands with no protections for our great steel workers.
00:00:51.580
And I said, there's no way we're going to let that happen.
00:01:08.300
You people and others like you built this country.
00:01:11.060
By the time I came into office, many feared that the Mon Valley would lose up to 3,000 steel jobs, that U.S. Steel would close.
00:01:20.160
And it was a fixture of the Pittsburgh skyline.
00:01:30.660
But I promised the people of western Pennsylvania that I would never, ever let that happen.
00:01:40.540
So soon after initially taking office, I imposed powerful 25 percent tariffs on all foreign steel
00:01:54.440
and ended each and every one of the Biden exceptions and exclusions.
00:02:03.560
This is on behalf of Scott, Secretary of Treasury, Howard Lutnick, Secretary of Commerce,
00:02:14.520
and all of the great geniuses and people we have working.
00:02:18.080
And they are smart, but I don't think you'd be a good steel worker, Scott.
00:02:23.060
We're going to have to put a little more muscle content into that guy.
00:02:29.060
We are going to be imposing a 25 percent increase.
00:02:35.700
We're going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent, the tariffs on steel into the United
00:02:41.380
States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States.
00:03:01.960
And by the way, I have to tell you, I believe that this group of people that just made this
00:03:07.300
investments right now are very happy because that means that nobody's going to be able to
00:03:13.340
At 25 percent, they can sort of get over that fence.
00:03:18.920
At 50 percent, they can no longer get over the fence.
00:03:22.160
So congratulations to everybody and to you for making a great deal.
00:03:32.700
I said to the group, would you rather have a 40 percent increase?
00:03:39.320
I said, would you rather have a 40 percent or a 50 percent?
00:03:44.320
I said, I had I had a feeling you were going to say that.
00:03:49.040
Also, congratulations to Dave, because you got this whole thing started.
00:03:57.740
The people here understand the word tariff and you understand it better than the people
00:04:04.740
But now the people on Wall Street are finding out.
00:04:06.840
They're saying, wow, you know, Trump was right.
00:04:08.620
You saw today they had an announcer, Joe Kiernan, CNBC, Maria Bartiromo, who's so fantastic on
00:04:18.760
And they were saying, you know, Trump was right.
00:04:21.960
The numbers got released today at eight o'clock in the morning.
00:04:25.620
And it showed no inflation and tremendous income jumps for workers and for the people
00:04:43.220
We don't want America's future to be built with shoddy steel from Shanghai.
00:04:47.820
We want it built with the strength and the pride of Pittsburgh.
00:04:53.880
And it's going to be something even more special when you get all that billions of dollars of
00:04:59.260
new equipment that they're going to be investing right here.
00:05:08.820
And, you know, I said the tariff to me is the most beautiful word in the dictionary.
00:05:17.660
For 40 years, I didn't understand why people weren't in this country using tariff.
00:05:24.820
They used tariffs to take our businesses, not only steal, other businesses do.
00:05:32.180
Because we had people in the White House that either didn't care or weren't very smart or
00:05:41.760
But I said, it's my favorite word in the dictionary, the word tariff.
00:05:58.340
So they made the word tariff be my fourth favorite word.
00:06:08.540
God, wife, family, all of the different things.
00:06:21.800
We've jousted for a long time with the fake news.
00:06:24.980
But companies all over the world have announced nearly $10 billion in new investments in steel,
00:06:32.380
But the Nippon investment we're announcing today blows them all away with a record setting.
00:06:42.960
$14 billion commitment to the future of this company.
00:06:55.400
That's the single largest investment of any kind in any industry.
00:07:05.680
You go into anything you want to go into because you're a good fracking state, too.
00:07:13.800
The largest investment of any kind in the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
00:07:20.060
And we also will be the largest investment in the history of American steel industry.
00:07:25.260
There's never been a $14 billion investment in the history of the steel industry in the United States of America.
00:07:41.140
And Pittsburgh will very soon be respected around the world as the steel city again.
00:07:50.560
As part of this monumental commitment, Nippon will also invest $2.2 billion to increase steel production here in the Mon Valley Works,
00:08:02.760
specifically allocated to Mon Valley, along with $200 million for the Advanced Technology Research and Development Center
00:08:15.760
And in addition, another $7 billion to modernize steel mills, expand ore mines, and build state-of-the-art facilities in Indiana, Minnesota, Alabama, and Arkansas.
00:08:37.200
And the bulk of these expenditures will be made in the next 14 months.
00:08:42.500
You're going to be very busy watching trucks go back and forth, loaded up with cash, or its equivalent.
00:08:50.720
And it will create and save over 100,000 American jobs, including 14,000 jobs in Pennsylvania.
00:09:02.040
And by the way, your local union, I won't talk about your national union,
00:09:07.300
because I don't think he knows what the hell he's talking about.
00:09:12.740
But your local union, I want to tell you, is so unbelievable.
00:09:18.840
I have to tell you that this is an incredible deal for American steel workers,
00:09:23.280
and it includes vital protections to ensure that all steel workers will keep their jobs
00:09:28.320
at all facilities in the United States, will remain open and thriving.
00:10:01.600
U.S. steel will maintain all of its current operating blast furnaces at full capacity
00:10:13.580
I don't even think you have to worry about that.
00:10:17.320
You're not going to have to even think about that, frankly.
00:10:19.780
It won't matter, because they're going to be here for a long time, a lot longer than that.
00:10:22.880
there will be no layoffs and no outsourcing whatsoever and every u.s steel worker will soon
00:10:29.380
receive a well-deserved five thousand dollar bonus that's very good thank you very much
00:10:37.900
that's great that's important for what you've gone through you've gone through a lot it's closing
00:10:45.240
it's not closing it's opening and you want to stay here people say well we'll move to another
00:10:49.860
place and we'll do chips so we'll do something like chips somehow you don't want to do chips i'm
00:10:54.280
looking at these giant guys with the giant arms you're not going to like doing chips most importantly
00:11:00.380
u.s steel will continue to be controlled by the usa otherwise i wouldn't have done the deal i wouldn't
00:11:06.620

i guess we got to give that to them and give that to you but this is going to be truly one of the
00:25:33.880
biggest days in your life i feel sincerely i have such confidence in this group of people
00:25:37.960
since since my election we've created nearly half a million new jobs including 10 000 manufacturing jobs
00:25:51.640
and those numbers are going through the roof we're going to have close to 11 trillion dollars
00:25:58.040
invested in new investments in the united states and you can look at other years there's never been anything
00:26:04.040
like that and by the way that's essentially in two months not four months because it took me a little
00:26:09.400
time to get acclimated but over the last two two and a half months we have we're over 11 trillion
00:26:16.600
dollars is going to be coming apple is spending 500 billion dollars to invest in america not in china
00:26:23.720
nvidia 500 billion dollars tsmc if you look at this one tsmc and this is a company the biggest in the
00:26:34.120
world for chips 200 billion dollars at least amazon 4 billion johnson and johnson 55 billion dollars
00:26:43.640
mercs delantis general motors are putting in billions and billions of dollars we have it all done it's going
00:26:51.160
to be all with very little inflation in fact it was 2.1 in april way down you went through inflation
00:27:00.520
that was probably the greatest inflation in the history of our country over the last four years
00:27:06.040
and now we have it down to around two percent grocery prices are down mortgage rates are down
00:27:12.360
energy prices are down and gasoline prices over memorial day weekend were the lowest they have been
00:27:19.400
since 2003. think of that in fact in a couple of states gasoline one dollar and 98 cents a gallon
00:27:31.080
one of one of you heard that number lately income soared in april up point eight percent almost triple
00:27:37.800
expectations and we achieved the largest drop in consumer prices and the largest increase in consumer
00:27:44.920
confidence since the pandemic and actually probably about 20 years before the pandemic last month we
00:27:52.600
also cut the trade deficit in half and that's the story of today they can't believe it the numbers just
00:27:58.520
came we we cut before we even get started actually we cut it in half the trade deficit and very
00:28:05.080
importantly have stopped the invasion of illegal aliens who are undercutting your wages and stealing your job
00:28:11.320
you saw that last month 99.999 percent can you imagine that was our cut it's been the border is closed
00:28:26.760
but it's open and it always be open to people that want to come into our country legally we want to have
00:28:32.440
people come in legally but we don't want to have them come in the way they allowed to come in we've
00:28:38.440
ended the flood of criminals gang members murderers drug dealers and human traffickers and we're sending
00:28:44.280
them back to the places from which they came and the future of american workers is only getting brighter
00:28:52.520
i said before and i'll say it again we have the hottest country right now in just four months but
00:28:58.840
actually you have to go back to november 5th since november 5th that was election day we had the greatest
00:29:05.160
election victory they say in 129 years the most consequential election in 129 years i don't know
00:29:13.320
what 129 years was but we'll see we'll check it out later on we'll find out must have been something
00:29:19.320
pretty good but we have the most consequential we won every swing state we won the popular vote
00:29:25.560
we won the districts 2750 to 505 we're doing a job and you're doing a job and it's only because of you
00:29:35.720
that we could have had that success we're right now on the verge of passing the largest working class
00:29:41.880
tax cuts in american history we got to get that beautiful big bill beautiful beautiful as it is
00:29:49.960
we got to get it passed the senate call your senators and i'll tell you you have you have great people
00:29:56.440

member voted to impose the largest tax hike in history the democrats are voting for the largest highest
00:30:10.040
tax hike in history i've never heard of it before meanwhile our one big beautiful bill will keep
00:30:16.920
income taxes at the current rates and deliver no tax on tips no tax on overtime and no tax on social
00:30:33.560
and we're going to make the interest payments as you know on cars we're going to take the car payments
00:30:38.600
and we're going to make them those interest payments you buy a car you borrow money we're
00:30:42.920
going to make interest payments tax deductible but only if the car is made in america and that means
00:30:48.920
made with american steel and steel from us steel and we're permanently expanding the child tax credit
00:30:57.400
and we're creating a special trump account for every newborn child starting them off with
00:31:02.680
a one thousand dollar credit to be invested over the course of their life a little baby is born they're
00:31:08.520
going to start off with a thousand dollars and if we do a good job of investing their money we're
00:31:13.160
going to go with one of the one of the investing guidelines who the hell knows if they're any good
00:31:18.680
but they have a chance to be very rich it's going to be very cute to see we're going to follow it very
00:31:23.640
closely and critically the bill includes the largest reductions to wasteful spending in a generation or
00:31:29.880
more slashing more than 1.6 trillion dollars in waste fraud and abuse
00:31:38.920
and the one big beautiful bill and get out there and get your congressmen and your senators and any
00:31:43.720
other senator or congressman you know get them to vote for it because the democrats are willing to vote
00:31:49.960
against the biggest tax deduction or tax decrease in history this is the biggest tax cut think of it
00:32:00.360
in the history of our country if it doesn't get approved you're going to have a 68 percent tax
00:32:07.720
increase lots of luck and the democrats would rather have you have a tax
00:32:12.040
increase think of that of 68 percent they would rather have that happen than vote for a bill where
00:32:19.000
you get the biggest tax cut so there's something wrong you know all my life i grow up i watch politics
00:32:24.920
and i've always watched politicians say we will cut your taxes we will cut these democrats want to raise
00:32:30.520
your taxes and in theory a 68 percent increase one other thing i did and you probably saw it last week
00:32:38.600
you know we pay the highest drug prices and pharmaceutical prices anywhere in the world by far
00:32:45.880
other countries pay sometimes one-tenth of what we pay a pill that costs 20 dollars we spend 200
00:32:53.320
dollars 250 dollars 270 dollars in many cases it's the most unfair thing i've ever seen and last week i did
00:33:02.120
what had to be done and it wasn't easy against the biggest lobby anywhere probably in the world
00:33:08.280
most powerful lobby the drug companies and i'm not even calling them bad but they were able to do
00:33:13.640
things they're going to be fine by the way they're going to just stabilize but we're going to now call
00:33:18.760
a favorite nations where we will pay the lowest price anywhere in the world and they have to match it
00:33:25.160
we will be cutting your drug bill by 85 and even 90 percent
00:33:29.560
you know i was very proud in my first administration you may have remembered i called for a major press
00:33:39.240
conference because we were the first i was the first one in 28 years to lower drug prices they were
00:33:45.880
lowered one quarter of one percent over a period of a year and i was so proud of that because nobody had
00:33:54.040
ever had an administration where prices of drugs went down one quarter of one percent not much now
00:34:01.000
we're going to be lowering your drug costs by 90 percent by 85 percent by 75 percent by numbers that
00:34:08.440
nobody's ever heard of before we will be paying equal to the lowest price of drugs and pharmaceuticals
00:34:15.880
anywhere in the world have fun because that's a lot of money that's going to bring down that's going
00:34:22.440
to bring down medicare it's going to bring down the cost of think of it medicaid it's going to have an
00:34:28.680
effect on everything but it's going to have the biggest effect on your wallet you're going to be saving
00:34:33.160
a tremendous amount of money and nobody else would do that but me i have taken on some rather harsh
00:34:39.640
critics over that because again that's the biggest lobby they spend billions and billions and billions
00:34:45.720
of dollars a year not to have that done but i said it's really time to do it so you're going to have
00:34:50.680
the lowest drug prices anywhere in the world with one big beautiful bill we will protect over seven
00:34:57.160
million jobs raise take-home pay for american families by up to thirteen thousand dollars per household
00:35:04.600
and reduce taxes for working-class americans by as much as thirteen percent those are big numbers the
00:35:10.840
bill will also remove 1.4 million illegal aliens from medicaid and protect the programs for truly needy americans
00:35:25.640
and it includes funding to hire 3 000 new border patrol agents and 10 000 new ice agents
00:35:32.760
and these people like you these are heroes the jobs they have done they go into areas that are
00:35:39.000
so dangerous it's unbelievable but they're tough they're smart and they love our country
00:35:44.120
so i want to just thank ice and i want to thank the border patrol and i want to thank law enforcement
00:35:49.880
in general they've been incredible really incredible
00:35:56.600
and i'll never forget our firemen i don't know if we have firemen here today
00:36:00.600
but we're never going to forget our firemen they do a great job over the past four months
00:36:05.480
we've accomplished more than most administrations it's even four years or even eight years we've
00:36:11.400
done this in four months we've done something on spirit and optimism and pride which is sweeping
00:36:17.400
across our land and with the announcement it's surging like never before here in western pennsylvania
00:36:23.800
remember the entire world is watching us today i'm making a speech and i have millions and
00:36:27.880
millions look at all the fake news back there look at that they are that's a lot of fake news come to
00:36:33.640
think of it now it's uh they've been pretty good to us here they've you know gave us a reasonably
00:36:40.360
accurate display but uh all over the world look at that all over the world they're watching your
00:36:46.520
local region and how well it's doing and how well it's going to do for generations the workers of
00:36:51.400
this region have always been there for our country when we needed you most you built this country from
00:36:58.600
pittsburgh to potstown from bethlehem to hopewell and from washington county to right here in western
00:37:06.120
mifflin the foundries and blast furnishes of pennsylvania have smashed foreign armies strengthened the
00:37:13.880
hulls of the world's greatest navy raised up majestic cities won two world wars
00:37:20.440
and made america into the richest strongest the most powerful country on the face of the earth
00:37:26.200
and it's suffered greatly over the last four years but we're going to get it back and we're going to
00:37:30.840
get it back fast it's almost back already it's suffered though it's suffered i'm not going to make
00:37:38.680
any excuses it's it's suffered with incompetent radical left lunatics but under our leadership we're
00:37:45.800
making it richer stronger and more powerful than ever before and that's why i want to thank you very
00:37:51.080
much and thank you prime minister and thank everybody they all knew what was happening here

00:39:24.520
When you're short on your dough, you can stay there.
00:39:28.560
And I'm sure you will find many ways to have a good time.
00:40:15.540
I said, young man, you can make brilliant dreams.
00:40:27.220
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf.
00:40:49.860
It's Natalie Winters filling in for Stephen K. Bannon.
00:40:54.880
We still have a show packed out for you for the duration of the Battleground Hour.
00:41:02.100
I don't know if you guys have seen the clips of all the hardcore MAGA patriots waiting in
00:41:08.980
the long lines, enduring and braving the onslaught of rain just to see President Trump speak.
00:41:19.000
I get deja vu to the good old campaign days, the rallies, which who knows?
00:41:24.600
You know, I'm just echoing the sentiments of my wonderful boss, Stephen K. Bannon, Trump
00:41:44.700
Give us your rundown, your assessment, and give us maybe a post-speech vibe check.
00:41:50.180
Yeah, by the way, I did wear my Trump 2028 shirt out here yesterday, and the look on
00:42:00.560
the libtard spaces, these guys losing their minds, excuse me, if it's offensive to some
00:42:10.760
I actually had a guy who's, I can't believe people still wear masks.
00:42:13.900
There was a guy on a plane with a mask behind me, and when he got up, he shoulder checked
00:42:18.040
me, because I was wearing the Trump 2028 shirt.
00:42:24.880
But I'm going to rock that all over the country.
00:42:28.160
Just, you know, whether or not Trump runs again, he's got a son.
00:42:33.460
He's got a whole line of Trumps that are in the wing.
00:42:36.840
So, but the event today, the big takeaway for me, by the way, Natalie, I don't know if
00:42:40.820
That was breaking news, a 50% tariff on steel coming into America.
00:42:45.600
That's going to be a wall, an unsurpassable wall for foreign manufacturers to overcome.
00:42:52.720
That's a big deal to the people out there that don't like tariffs.
00:42:57.600
But what it does is it puts American workers first.
00:43:01.340
And clearly that's what President Trump's doing.
00:43:02.700
The difference between this one, Natalie, and other rallies I've been to where, you
00:43:10.820
There's this major shift happening and it hasn't caught up to the national union yet.
00:43:16.160
But man, if you listen to the union representatives of the local unions here, Democrats better
00:43:23.360
be afraid because the people, the workers, they get it.
00:43:27.120
The Democrats have betrayed them and MAGA is on their side.
00:43:33.560
And as you see behind me, the golden age, the next golden age in America.
00:43:39.580
I'm just curious, Ben, when you talk to the people on the ground there, the people who
00:43:43.340
are, you know, compelled or motivated enough to show up to an event like that, what are
00:43:47.440
the issues that they're most concerned about that they think President Trump needs to fix
00:43:52.720
or where are they, you know, happiest and proudest with what he's already delivered on?
00:43:56.740
Well, the general sentiment I got in speaking to several people before this event, got a
00:44:04.100
lot of interviews, was that it's the Democrats and these activist judges and the rhinos,
00:44:09.340
everyone you and I and Steve talks about every single day, the turncoats and the traitors
00:44:16.440
That really, the sense I get is just let MAGA work, get out of the way.
00:44:20.640
It's kind of the sentiment that I think most Americans have about government, just get
00:44:28.400
In this case, it was, you know, you could see the look in the eyes of the workers here
00:44:33.920
that really felt like their lives were going to be uprooted, that they really felt the last
00:44:39.780
two years, that uncertainty was so high here, especially during Joe Biden's time.
00:44:44.540
They just thought that they weren't going to have jobs.
00:44:46.640
Some of these people you heard on the stage were fifth generation workers, not to be able
00:44:51.860
to continue that legacy, working hard to produce the products that Americans use every single
00:45:00.900
And now there's a sense that that yoke has been lifted off their shoulders, like they
00:45:05.200
can finally breathe again, that they can look downrange and say, for at least, you heard
00:45:10.380
President Trump say, for at least the next 10 years, you guys will have jobs.
00:45:14.300
I mean, assuming you do good work, you know, you've got to fire the bad ones.
00:45:17.400
But assuming you do good work, you're going to have a job.
00:45:20.180
And that's something that these guys have not had.
00:45:27.440
And now there's finally a sense of we can breathe again.
00:45:33.460
And you can't underestimate the impact that has on somebody's mind, on their life, on their
00:45:47.740
And it's no wonder that they've tried to quash it or tried to ram through the idea that we
00:45:52.660
need to import foreign workers and foreign-born talent to maintain our hegemony as the United
00:46:03.420
This country didn't get to where it is because of immigrants.
00:46:16.520
Ben, if you can hang with us through the break, I'm sure the audience is enjoying your shot,
00:46:32.860
You know, I always love talking about rare earths and the processing, that aspect, how
00:46:38.020
the PRC has just completely dominated, really by design, right?
00:46:43.620
Not just elite capture, but elite merger, people like Hunter Biden profiting off of this.
00:46:48.360
I bet he's seething at the idea of jobs in the United States and bolstering America's
00:46:56.600
There's something happening with our farmland here in the United States that isn't getting
00:47:08.780
The Chinese have been buying up hundreds of thousands of acres of U.S. farmland.
00:47:14.440
They're also taking control over critical supply chains, things like fertilizer, animal feed,
00:47:23.120
They're tightening their grip on global food production.
00:47:29.180
And if things go south and it could happen quickly, we need to be ready.

This July, there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro, the bloc of emerging
00:48:51.840
superpowers, including China, Russia, India, and Persia, are meeting with the goal of displacing
00:48:58.620
the United States dollar as the global currency.
00:49:04.800
As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for U.S. dollars will decrease,
00:49:09.840
bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.

While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.
00:49:19.480

00:49:25.680
theoretical possibility towards an inevitable reality.

I guess I'm having a Pavlovian response to President Trump speaking, making me think we're back in campaign season, if only.
00:51:37.880
Ben Berkman, we still got you on the ground there.
00:51:39.820
I'm curious, the audience, what lines got the most applause?
00:51:45.480
And give us sort of a teaser of what you've been working on.
00:51:49.740
I hear you're going to be hanging out with some ICE agents again.
00:51:55.640
So, actually, part of your last question, what are the issues that mattered in talking to them?
00:52:00.620
Well, the outside of when President Trump talked about steel and their jobs directly, the loudest applause in this room was deporting illegals.
00:52:12.100
And when you talk about understanding of, you were just talking about that, immigrants didn't build America.
00:52:21.880
But it's always been this understanding of this contract that if you come into our country, you become a citizen, you go through that process, you add to the fabric of our society.
00:52:32.820
What Joe Biden and the Democrats have done, they've totally bastardized that system to where now we celebrate illegals that come in, take jobs, commit crimes, destroy our workforce, take away our education and our health care and the rest of it.
00:52:45.240
That line on deportations, on supporting ICE, on supporting Border Patrol got the loudest applause in this room.
00:52:53.840
And it's no wonder, because it affects everywhere.
00:52:59.180
There are illegals everywhere around Pittsburgh.
00:53:03.480
They've been seeing it for decades, and they're sick of it.
00:53:09.360
So June is going to be the month of ICE ride-alongs, Border Patrol ride-alongs, what we're doing.
00:53:19.200
You're telling me we don't celebrate Pride Month?
00:53:32.760
Maybe we'll add Border Patrol and ICE into that.
00:53:37.340
Actually support the things that make America great.
00:53:40.320
Yes, you heard it from here, War Room Live, officially.
00:53:43.780
We're taking back, and we're going to take back the rainbow at the same time.
00:53:51.680
Actually, our next episode of Law & Border is going to be airing next Saturday, the 7th.
00:53:56.300
So a lot coming up here on Real America's Voice News when it comes to deportations.
00:54:07.460
Ben, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with, it sounds like, everything you've got going, I want to.
00:54:14.940
The best place is America's Voice, americasvoice.news.
00:54:20.800
If you don't have the app on your phone, you need that, obviously, to watch War Room Live every single day.
00:54:25.700
You can also follow me on Substack, Frontline America Substack, on my personal, at Ben Burkwam, social media, at Real AM Voice, Real America's Voice, and at Ben Burkwam.
00:54:35.820
Thank you, sir, for joining us for the pre-game and the post-game.
00:54:46.620
I'm glad you don't have to go to the border as much anymore.
00:54:51.740
Ben Burkwam not having to go hang out with a bunch of illegals down in the Darien Gap.
00:55:04.220
That's why we need to make sure these deportations actually go through.
00:55:07.560
And we hold the people who orchestrated this invasion accountable.
00:55:17.260
But I'd like to get the names of some of the people who were intimately involved with orchestrating this.
00:55:22.420
I guess we could start with Mayorkas, but that's the tip of the iceberg.
00:55:25.580
And more importantly, the elites who invited these people in, whether short-term under Biden or systemically set up these programs, they should certainly be investigated, I would argue, probably go to jail for the crimes they've committed against American workers and the American people.
00:55:45.780
But something else that is disgusting, how's that for a segue, is probably everything that these same global elites want you to eat and put in your body and the air you breathe.
00:55:55.880
You know, we're strong Maha advocates here in the war room, which is why I'm honored to bring on Trevor Comstock of Sacred Human Health.
00:56:03.560
Trevor, before we get to the super good stuff, which is the beef liver, real quick, your thoughts on the Maha Commission.
00:56:10.700
The media is in full meltdown, attacking it left and right.
00:56:18.740
That's kind of what you're going to get with the big media against Trump or anyone associated with him.
00:56:23.160
But what RFK is doing is absolutely awesome, in my opinion.
00:56:27.980
I mean, the stance that he's taken with trying to remove the chemicals in food and the preservatives and everything else that's essentially artificial to get out of our diets is a big win.
00:56:38.540
And we're not fully there yet, but, you know, time will tell when we can start making real, real progress.
00:56:45.260
But at least for us, too, I mean, I'll never compare myself to RFK Jr., but we're at least trying to take the same route with what he's doing with eliminating the chemicals in foods to supplements.
00:56:54.860
Because you do find a lot of those same, like, food dyes, binders, artificial ingredients and preservatives in supplements.
00:57:04.280
And unfortunately, it's pretty widespread if you go to, like, Walgreens or searching on Amazon.
00:57:10.280
So for us, we eliminate all that junk from our products.

And we promise to make everything right here in the USA, whereas a lot of other companies just outsource all their production to China because it's much cheaper.
00:57:22.920
And that really does go for all of our products as well.
00:57:26.080
And like you mentioned, of course, our flagship product is our beef liver, which I really can't recommend enough.

You know, it contains a ton of ingredients and nutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin A, B12, CoQ10, folate, et cetera.
00:57:40.680
And then on top of that, it also contains many critical vitamins and minerals that most people are deficient in.
00:57:47.100
So things like choline, K2, selenium, as well as copper.
00:57:52.420
And then, you know, on top of that, just one thing that people always mention and love about the beef liver is the natural energy boost that it gives them.
00:58:01.280

We're trying to provide American-made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense.
01:00:45.240
So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
01:00:55.320
So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship product.
01:01:03.400
For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
01:01:13.700
And, because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
01:01:25.620
So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com, and cheers to your health.
