Speaker 1 (00:18):
All right, everybody, welcome back. I am Mike Chrispy, who
are watching Real America's Voice, and we are live in
the studio and on the ground in Des Moines, Iowa,
covering the Salute to America celebration America's two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Gearing up the fourth of July is upon.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
US President Trump getting the big beautiful bill through Congress,
going to sign it tomorrow. It is a great day
of celebration for the mag of movement and more.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Broadly, our country. Whether the Liberals know it or not,
it's going to be good for them too.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Before we get back out to Iowa, let's hear a
word from our sponsor is making a possible and our
friends on over at AMAC are doing an amazing job.
Let me tell you, guys something. Is there a better
way to celebrate America's birthday? Obviously, we eat the hot dogs,
we light the fireworks, we grill the burgers, But how

(01:15):
about actually doing something to protect or how great is that?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I love all of it. The country needs more than
a party.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
It needs patriots willing to celebrate and stand up for
the great country in which we live in.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's why I'm proud to stand with AMAC.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Guys, the Association of Mature American Citizens AMAC fights every
single day to defend the values that built this nation.
That's faith, family, freedom, and common sense. And right now,
in the honor of Independence Day, AMAC is offering something
incredible five full years of membership for just thirty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
That is five years of.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Standing shoulder to shoulder with millions of freedom loving Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
You'll get their.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Top notch magazine, exclusive discounts, free resources, but most importantly,
you'll be part.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Of a movement that will keep America strong. So do
more than just wave the flag, stand up for the flag.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Go to AMAC dot us, slash rally right now and
join AMAC today because America is counting on us. All right,
we are going to take it back out to Iowa.
We got Brian Glenn and Michelle Bacchus and guys, it
has been really an amazing news day. We have AOC

(02:26):
saying the country is going to go into a dead
spiral and she's devastated about the largest tax cut in history.
We have Vladimir Putin saying that he stopped in events
midway through. He said, I got to take a phone
call from Trump, otherwise he'll be upset.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Stops what he's doing to take Trump's call.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I mean, are we having a good time this week,
in these last couple of weeks or what Michelle, what's
the sense on the ground.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
How's it going.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
We haven't talked to you guys in a while.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
What's going on? Michelle?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Just about thirty minutes ago, they were playing All I
Do is Win.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
I'm not sure if you know that song, but it
could have been more fitting everyone in the crowd here
dancing and sing along, good laughing. I mean, if you
look at the irony of this all because Brian and
I said it earlier, we are not tired of winning.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
This has been historic.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
And keep in mind we haven't even hit year one
of the presidency.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
There's a lot of work to go. Nonetheless, Brian and
I were sitting in the car earlier watching.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Those boats come in the big beautiful bill. You're already
seeing Democrats try to spin this and create the panic.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
But listen, it's not working.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
Just looking out in the crowd right now, this is
who that bill represents. This is middle class America, the
people that are working hard to.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Put food on the tables. They're not lying around, they're.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
Not anchorly tweeting and saying all these comments.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
They're not the woke movement.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
These are people that want to make the country a
better place. These are people that are trying to raise
their kids to have a better future than they did.
And Brian, I'll tell you what we were talking about it earlier.
If you're seeing every single age group here today, every
single race, truly, these ratleys don't.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Discriminate and this is nothing different.

Speaker 7 (04:00):
Yeah, this is Trump's America right here. By tell you
what I have a plan, Mike. Let's have all these
Democrats go announce in their district on Monday morning. Let's
let them have a great holiday weekend. Let's not ruin it,
but go in Monday morning at eight o'clock and tell
everyone in their district, although the big beautiful bill pass,
you no longer have to pay your tax on tips
and you have your tax in overtime, But instead sign

(04:21):
your check out to the Rep in charge in that
district and just send your heart on money to them.
And let's see what the response is then, because that's
exactly what they're saying right now. They know that these
policies are benefiting the American people. They know that, they
know all of this benefits to American people.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
They just hate Trump and that's what it's all about.

Speaker 7 (04:42):
I've sat on so many oversight meetings more than I
want to omit here on this broadcast, and I can
tell you they purely hate the Republican Party. They know
they're winning on every single issue. So that's how you
control this stuff. Just force all the Democrats on Monday
morning to come together push out a massive message to
all of the people in their basis, say you know what,
although President Trump saved you money on your taxes, although

(05:05):
President Trump is making you take home more you're social Security,
go ahead and tell your mom and your grandmother to
send that difference to the Democrat Party because.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
That's what they want. Republicans want you to keep your money.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
Democrats wants you to have their money, or they want
to have your money.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
That's how you solve it.

Speaker 7 (05:20):
We're winning on issues, We're going to continue to win.
And you know what, that's why these people are here today.
They want to thank President Trump for making America great again.

Speaker 6 (05:30):
In fact, at least two people have said that they're
celebrating their birthdays here.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
This is a holiday weekend. It's beautiful.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
It's about ninety degrees, I would say, and kids saying
that they're celebrating their birthday.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
You're at the Trump Browlly.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
But it's really interesting, Mike that when Ben and by
the way, that's how you do rally coverage. Right now,
I'm going to put on my TV producer hat for
a second. Michelle and I were just the icing on
the cake right now. The cake itself has been Burkhombe
walking around the crowd talking to people. You notice one thing,
the diversity in Trump's supporters. It's from all over the place,

(06:05):
all over the country, racist backgrounds, age, economic situations.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Reason and I thought, for one, and I thought.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
For whatever reason, that these tax cuts were only going
to benefit the millionaires and the billionaires of the world,
not the hardworking people of Iowa. I must have missed
that broadcast. But anyway, that's why you're seeing here. To
shout out to Ben Burkholm, getting down on the ground
with the people. That's what it's all about. And I agreed,
Real America's voice. No one does it better than we do.
And I want to say thank you to everybody in

(06:35):
the studio. It's a lot of work. By the way,
we've got fourteen thousand cameras around this facility right now,
give me just about every perspective of the rally that
you would ever want. And so our production team sitting
out here in the heat and the hot heat working
behind the camera thanks to Will here and everybody else
and the mason's over here. What a great job they're
doing this afternoon. And we're just really proud to be

(06:55):
a part of this historic broadcast in terms of really
kicking off not only this two fifty anniversary, but stowing
a party for the big beautiful bill.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
How's shining?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh man, I tell you it is amazing.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
How AOC saying this is devastating. She said the reason
that people were not supposed to celebrate no tax on
tips was because that everyone else, everyone else is going
to lose their healthcare. And Elizabeth Warren Guys put out
this giant tweet of all these numbers, and I said
to myself, did she just make up numbers in each
state of people that are going to lose healthcare? Or

(07:31):
did she self report how many illegal aliens are scamming
the system on healthcare?

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Brian?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Are people in the crowd worried about losing their healthcare,
because if you talk to any Democrat, it seems like
that's the number one thing they say, both on CNN
and in the Democrat congressional chambers.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Brian, Well, this is what I knew was going to
happen with the media. I could read the media like
a book.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
When they started the mass deportations, the ice rates, I said,
they're gonna take They're gonna find the one guy that
gets mixed up into the mix, that gets pulled out
of here. They're going to take his story, Maryland man,
and they're going to run with it and try to
make it normal to America, to try to get them
to relate to a gangbanger that has not only beat
his wife and allegedly beat his wife, and all this
other stuff George Deal and drugs relations to international cartel members.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Forget about all that. They're going to make a Maryland man.

Speaker 7 (08:19):
So what they're gonna do with this, They're going to
find the one person that probably loves their healthcare because
wait for it, they were getting it fraudulently. They weren't
getting it legally. That's all it is about. The waste fraud, abuse.
That's what DOGE is about. It's not about ripping your
health care from your grandma or your grandkids or anything
like that. That's not what it's about. It's about cleaning

(08:41):
up the system. And that I remember the Doach team
the first though, two weeks into this administration, when they
we really kind of go into the books, Michelle, they
found this waste frawd abuse. I reported it from the
briefing room as Carol Levitt the day it broke about
the billions of dollars they found in waste fraw, debute
and Medicaid. So this is not old. They know the

(09:03):
abuses there. They know they've been funneling money, which is
by the way, and there's a lot of there's a
lot of fraudulent activity going on from a lot of
NGO organizations within that's been taking government money. That's a
completely separate issue. But Michelle, we're gonna wait for the story.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
It's coming. It's gonna probably come tomorrow at.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Nine oh five on the Morning Show in CNN. But
they're going to talk about somebody that's concerned about loosener
healthcare and all their benefits.

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Well, even more so, let's talk about alligator Alcatraz, because
just about ten minutes ago I showed Brian a picture
and I knew this was.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Going to happen.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
I saw this circulating ironically on TikTok, a girl saying
I heard there were incinerators coming. This is going to
be the worst thing to ever happened. This is World
War there. You know, we all know this field.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
We've heard it a million times, the Hitler, the Nazi comparisons.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Right, I'm starting to see people post concentration camps and
then aside by side of Alligator Alcatraz, so you already
know what's coming. It's not like we haven't seen this before.
I think the important part here is that we hope
the amer can be more more educated, and if not,
I think it's our job to educate them and shine
light on this.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
I agree, and I was there on the ground with
President Trump as he toured that facility, which, by the way,
it was a very cool sixty eight sixty nine degrees
inside that tent, very air conditioning conditions, probably better up
than the places they're going to. They'd probably rather stay there.
The betting was adequately spaced. It was nothing out of
the ordinated that you would see in a detention center

(10:29):
and they.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Feel buyer where they were locking.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
To the games.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
That is correct, which by the way, that facility was
laid out next to our runway, which could hold the
landing of Air Force One, which was kind of nice.
I'd be able to fly these people out of here.
And we have given these illegals enough time to say, look,
if you want to self deport, if you want to
voluntarily come forward and say, look, you know what, I'm
in this country for whatever reason. I want to self deport.

(10:53):
You have an opportunity to come back. But if you
don't do that, you're running the risk of getting caught
up by Ice will self deport you ourselves, and we'll
send you back and then there's zero chance you can
come in. So I actually think this strategy is preventing
a lot more people from coming up through the Darien Gap,
which Ben Burkhm was talking about earlier. That's why you're

(11:14):
seeing us such a slow down on border crossings and
get this.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Would you ever imagine two three years ago, we.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
Would say, after watching all the video that we've seen,
and Bill Belusian a Fox News has done an amazing
job as well as Ben Berkhoff the amount of people
come across this border. Would you imagine that three years
and now we'd say zero in May, I mean zero people.
We did not release anybody in our country, and I
think the month before that, the only time we did
was for a medical emergency that we had to seek attention,

(11:42):
which we did, but then we sent them back. So
it's amazing what President Trump has done on the border.
I don't think this attention center is going to be
a standalone. They are going to replicate this model throughout
not only state of Florida, Louisiana.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
I know Governor Landry very well.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
He's got swamp, he's got alligators, he's got some land,
and guess what he wasn't the requirements there. And so
no matter how these networks might try to.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Spin this to be inhumane.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
The fact that there's alligators surrounding this facility, give me
a break. Alcatras had sharks and fifty nine degree water.
Forget about that. It's about detension. It's not about a
luxury hotel. This is not a Forestall hotel. This is
a detention center for people who broke the law, criminals,
and I think it's a good thing and we need
to continue those.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I love that And as Michelle, she referenced who built
the cages?

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Joe, remember that, who built the cages?

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I do want to go to Jake Novak, who has
been patiently standing by Jake.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
President Trump when who's an alligator?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Alcatraz was asked about Alexandro Majorcis, who you know, obviously
was totally at the center of this whole thing, saying
that there was not, you know, totally a wide.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Open border covering up for it.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
And I always say this, if we're not going to
hold these people accountable, how are we ever going to
prevent it from happening again? How do you think the
Trump administration should approach May York? As President Trump said
he'd be open to legal action, he actually said was
he pardoned? And they said no, he wasn't pardoned. So
do you think they're going to take action? And what
do you think that would look like?

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Jake, Well, Mike, it's all about priorities. There are so
many people connected to the Biden administration who should be prosecuted.
The question is are we going to take resources away
from prosecuting and finding violent, murderous criminals which we know
are still in this country. So we can do this.
It's a difficult choice. And I don't think it's fair

(13:36):
to be angry at the Trump administration or Pam Bondi
or Cash Mattel when there are people who are literally
have guns, knives and other weapons, firebombs, all that kind
of stuff. So we have to have patience with that. However,
I do think it's smart to start the process, to
let these people know that they may become under indictment,
maybe start to convene a grand jury. Things like that.
I couldn't agree more. And when you talk about Allocator,

(13:59):
Alligator Act Alcatraz, and I know you know what Michelle
was talking about, and how heart wrenching it is. As
someone who had members of his family killed in the Holocaust,
it is disgusting for me to see Alligator Alcatraz compared
to Auschwitz and death casts. But let me say something,
there's a silver lining in that in that comparison. As
disgusting as it is, the point of something like Alligator
Alcatraz is to send a message to the rest of

(14:21):
the world that the doors no longer open for people
who think this is too big, too crazy to do
stuff like that. That's the whole point. It has to
be a spectacle because the messaging that these people have
been getting for years is, Hey, the door's open in America.
They love having you just come in and take what
you want. When you open an alligator Alcatraz, you send
the opposite message, and it's worth its weight in gold.

(14:41):
Even without having it, you basically start pre deporting people
because they never come here in the first place.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, as very well said, and you know, obviously, the
big beautiful bill, it provides historic levels of funding for
ICE to do their job.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Jake, what tell us what you think?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Obviously, these increased funding measures for ICE is gonna lead
to a rapid fire succession, you now see. Oh okay,
so I'm gonna I'm gonna sorry, Jake, I'm gonna cut in.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
We have the prayers starting live from the ground in
Des Moines. Ah, well, let's go to the prayer kicking
off the rally. Let's take that.

Speaker 9 (15:19):
However, I have a feeling that many of you are
just as patriotic as me. Right, how many are proud
to be an American? Yeah, okay, I'm not here to preach, y'all.
I'm here to pray. So let's pray, will you bow
your heads, raise your voices and your hands toward.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Heaven with me.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
The Bible says, if my people who are called by
my name will call on my name in prayer, that
God will hear our prayers, forgive our sins and heal
our land. So let's call on God because we need him, y'all.
Let's pray our Father in heaven. I'll a father, Jehovah, God,
Jehovah Elohem, out of nigh yah waigh Jehovah, Ralpha nisi Jehovah.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Shall all.

Speaker 9 (16:11):
We come to you boldly in the mighty name of Jesus,
the name that is above all names, the name that
every need will bow to, in every tongue will confess. Jesus,
you are still the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
and your word says when two and more gathered together
in your name, that there you are in our midst
and anything we ask.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
In prayer, believing that we shall receive.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Well.

Speaker 9 (16:32):
Father, we have more than a few God fear and
faith filled American love and patriots gathered here today calling
on your name and God, We the people, your people,
ask that your great glory and that your favor would
fall on the Great Us surveyed. God, that your favor
would flow throughout our great nation once again, from your house,

(16:55):
the House of God, through every house in America, God House,
every courthouse, all the way to the White House. God,
let it flow from the mountains to the prairies. God,
let it flow from New York to la God, from.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Washington, d c.

Speaker 9 (17:15):
All the way to the America's heartland, Iowa, and even
into Nebraska. God, keep your hand on the heartland, and
let there be a great revival that flows and sweeps
this land once again, a revival of faith, God, a
revival of common sense.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
God.

Speaker 9 (17:33):
We pray that faith leaders would rise up again, men
and women of God would stand up again. And God,
that pastors and leaders would lead our nation back to you,
one nation under God.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
God, put a headred protection about our nation.

Speaker 9 (17:47):
Your word says that no weapon formed against this will prosper.
The greater is he that is in us than he
that is in this world. Protect us from all of
our enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Speaker 9 (18:01):
Father, we pray that you would forgive the complacency of
the faith leaders for their lack of courage to stand
boldly God, give us the boldness to stand today, to
stand on.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Your word, to stand for your truth.

Speaker 9 (18:15):
Once again, we repent on behalf of our nation for
the sins that we've allowed, we've accepted and celebrated as
a nation.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
We repent.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
God, give us the boldness.

Speaker 9 (18:25):
Today to stand up tomorrow and forevermore, because just like
the great prophet Elisha said, they're more with us than
they are with them. God, give us the vision to
see all of those who are with us, and let
us stand.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
In unity once again.

Speaker 9 (18:41):
God, we pray for unity. Unite us as Americans and
as a nation. We pray that you would remove all
of this division and replace it with a unified vision. God,
because we know, united we stand, but divided we fall. God,
we pray over our great nation. Put a hedge of
protection of God. Protect our great president, the greatest president

(19:03):
of all time. Put a hedge of protection about him.
Let him lead our great nation. God with great strength,
but in great humility. God in wisdom, but in great love.
God with justice, but in mercy. Give our president the
strength and the courage of ten men. And God give
him the wisdom of solved men. Oh God Almighty, we

(19:23):
are still a nation under God who trust in you
Still God, your word says, blessed us a nation whose
God is the Lord.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
And we thank you God, bless this nation.

Speaker 9 (19:34):
Once again, the land that we love, in the mighty
name of Jesus.

Speaker 10 (19:38):
Everyone shouts Amen, Thank you God. Bless ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome to the stage. Former National Director of the
American Legion David raybind to lead us in the place

(20:00):
of allegiance.

Speaker 11 (20:15):
It is my honor to stand in the midst of
this group of patriots as we pledge allegiance. Please uncover,
fix your gaze on one of the many flags that
fly in front of us today, and join me in

(20:41):

States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Speaker 10 (20:54):
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome to the stage.
Grammy nominated recording artist Danny Goki to sing our national anthem.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Can you help me sing the song? Oh Say? Can
you see Bye?

Speaker 13 (21:43):
The don'tserly lie?

Speaker 14 (21:48):
What's so proudy wey.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
At, It's why.

Speaker 13 (21:56):
Light's Last qeez.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Whose broad stripes.

Speaker 13 (22:03):
And broad stars through the pairles fight or the rad
part we wash, We saw glea.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Street mean and the rackets rags, the pouncebsting in gay
proof through the night that a flag wor was stealing?

(22:47):
Oh who say does that? Stars?

Speaker 15 (22:53):
Spain bandaway? Or the land and of the f and bread.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
USA.

Speaker 16 (23:35):
So I don't have any I don't have We're gonna.
I'm gonna sing a song, but I have no audio.
My monitors and so if they want to fix that.
But while they're trying to fix that, about two years ago,
I wrote a song for our country. My wife's family
fled communism, and you're gonna see the words on the screen.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
But I know what it takes.

Speaker 16 (23:53):
It takes belief in our country to see our country
come back to life and see the things that our
forefathers talked about. So it's okay if I share this
song that's called My America. Let's see if the audio
works this time. But look at the screens and well,
and you can see the words and hopefully it touches
your heart and reminds you how great our country really is.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
Y'all look good today, by the.

Speaker 16 (24:30):
Way, Thank you I like Iowa.

at the screens and I sing this song.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Or nothing.

Speaker 16 (25:14):
Well, there's supposed to be music with it.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Acapella? Oh man, I can.

Speaker 17 (25:22):
You want to do that?

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Well, we gotta.

Speaker 16 (25:24):

Speaker 24 (36:14):
Record the pridescor of my country knows that I'm doing

(36:38):
it not for myself. Every day I put on the uniform.
I'm not just representing the pridescor of my country knows
that I'm doing it not for myself. Every day I
put on the uniform, I'm not just representing Caroline Robinson.
I'm representing my company here at the Academy. I'm representing
West Point, I'm representing the United States Army in old

(37:00):
timately representing the United States of America.

Speaker 25 (37:02):
I really came to West Point because belief in the
American dream and giving back to our country.

Speaker 26 (37:08):
You're a part of something that is much bigger than yourself.
You're a part of a tradition of excellence and a
legacy that's connected not only to the Academy, but to
the American Army.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
I'm surrounded by people who want to make themselves better and.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Serve our new dream. Excellency is their baseline, and that,
to me, is what it means to be at West Point.

Speaker 27 (37:25):
That from the earliest days of our nation, the supreme
tradition of American military service has been passed down from
soldier to soldier and generation to generation, and it's a beautiful.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Thing to watch.

Speaker 28 (37:38):
My brother preceded me here, and originally I didn't really
know what West Point was until it came. But when
I saw the mission that they were committed to of
upholding the principles of American democracy and protecting the Constitution,
I knew it somewhere I had to be.

Speaker 29 (37:51):
Every time that we lived outside of the United States,
I always developed this sense of gratitude and pride of
being an American.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
To give back to my country what it gets to me.

Speaker 24 (38:03):
And it wasn't until I zipped up the blouse and
I put the belt on for the first time that
I realized that I was going to be serving my
country and it felt right. West Point was the place
that I needed to be. More importantly, the.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Army was where I wanted to be.

Speaker 28 (38:16):
I just looked to the left and right over basic
training and realized that we all had the same American
patch on my shoulders, that were all fighting for the
same thing. I mean, there was no better feeling in
the world knowing that every single person around you is
committed to be willing to die for that mission.

Speaker 30 (38:29):
You came for excellence, you came for duty, You cave
to serve your country, and you gave to show yourselves
that you are a mom the smartest, toughest s, longest,
most lethal warriors ever to walk on this planet.

Speaker 26 (38:43):
What excacts me to boast about my future in the
Army is the opportunity that I'm going to have to
give back to the American.

Speaker 22 (38:50):
Soldiers that I'm going to be leading, because ultimately they
don't get to choose, and to me, it's that burden
of responsibility to be the best leader, and.

Speaker 26 (38:59):
As a officer, that's going to be exactly what I
get to do.

Speaker 29 (39:02):
I was the cadet basic Training first detail for the
first three weeks. I got to see the new cadets
come in from their families' homes and being in process
in the very first day and watching them grow so quickly.

Speaker 26 (39:15):
I would do all the formations and I looked out
at these thousand new cadets, people who just come out
of high school.

Speaker 5 (39:20):
They were completely different people.

Speaker 28 (39:22):
I don't think there's another institution in the country like
West Point where the student body is so committed to
furthering the mission of America and ensuring our democracy and
freedom for generations to come.

Speaker 24 (39:33):
I'm really surrounded by the best and the best, and
that's when I realized this is a place that I.

Speaker 5 (39:38):
Absolutely want to be.

Speaker 29 (39:39):
West Point itself is an amazing institution, but it only
provides opportunities that people here have to choose to take
those opportunities and grow and lead and serve.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
And the people here want to do that, and I'm
proud to be a part of that.

Speaker 29 (39:52):
And I would tell any high schooler who is considering it,
if you won't regret it.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Well, welcome.

Speaker 31 (40:15):
Do we have any Iowa State Fair fans out there,
we picked the perfect day for you. It's hot, you're
on the midway lot. If you were spinning around, it'd
be a great day at the fair. But thank you
for being here today and welcome to the beautiful Iowa
State Fairgrounds. I want to thank the great team here

(40:38):
at the Iowa State Fair who has been working hard
with America.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
Two point fifty to put on this event for you.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
I'm blessed to work.

Speaker 31 (40:45):
With some of the best staff and board that there
are anywhere in the United States. And we also brought
some of your favorite fair foods here today as well,
so hopefully you grab a corn dog or a cup
of cookies or some ice cream today. For sure, Nay
was less than one hundred years old, and the state
of Iowa was less than ten years old. A dedicated

(41:07):
group of Iowans decided that we should have a state fair,
and in eighteen fifty four they did just that, held
the very first Iowa State Fair.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
That very first Iowa State Fair was.

Speaker 31 (41:20):
Meant to be a celebration, a place where neighbors could gather,
a place where blue ribbons could be won, a place
where new technology could be viewed, a place where families
could be entertained, and a place where agriculture, our state's
number one industry, could be honored.

Speaker 32 (41:39):
And one hundred and seventy one.

Speaker 31 (41:41):
Years later, the Iowa State Fair is still here and
we are still celebrating as big as we ever have,
despite all of the changes in our world since that
first fair. The fair is a platform for all that
is good about our state and our nation. It's a
place where youth learn, a place where families safely gather,

(42:03):
and a place where our state and our great nation
is celebrated every single year.

Speaker 32 (42:12):
But the Iowa State Fair is not unique.

Speaker 31 (42:14):
In fact, across our great country there are more than
two thousand state, county, and regional fairs that attract millions
of visitors and generate billions of dollars in economic impact.
But our fairs are more than economic engines. They are
even more than annual events that you go to with
your family. They are traditions rooted in community and connection.

(42:40):
They are patriotic, they are all about America. Quite frankly,
fares represent the very best of our nation, and I
think that's why you're here today. You also want the
very best for our nation. We at the Iowa State
Fair are so humbled that you are here with us.

Speaker 32 (42:59):
When we realize is that an.

Speaker 31 (43:00):
Event of this magnitude, the event that is going to
kick off a year long celebration of our nation's two
hundred and fiftieth birthday, featuring remarks by President Trump. That
event could have been held anywhere in the United States,
but we are blessed to have the opportunity to host

(43:21):
a here, and we thank President Trump for that honor.
So if you're looking for something to do August seventh
through the seventeenth, come back and celebrate Fair Sweet Fair
with us. I guarantee you it'll probably be about us hot,
so you're already prepared for that. We would love to

(43:43):
have you visit. And if you're not from Iowa, I
know you've got a state fair in your state.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
That you should go visit as well.

Speaker 31 (43:50):
Thank you again for being here tonight for this once
in a lifetime event here at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Stay safe, stay hydrated, enjoy the evening. What a beautiful
night to kick off a really big party, a year
long celebration of our great nation.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
Ladies and gentlemen, Please welcome to the stage. Iowa GOP
Chairman Jeff Kaufman.

Speaker 33 (44:35):
I just had a little bit of a newsflash for you.
I'm usually knowing to be pretty bombastic and excitable, so
I'm going.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
To try to be calm today. But just in case
you haven't.

Speaker 33 (44:45):
Heard, America is going to celebrate our two hundred and
fiftieth and Donald Trump picked I want to start it all.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
He picked os Folkes.

Speaker 33 (45:01):
Through the years, a lot of presidents have said, I'm
the president of the heartland, I'm the president.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
Of small town in rural America.

Speaker 33 (45:09):
Guess what, We've got a man that practices exactly what
he preaches in the White House and he's all ours.
And of course you've all heard about the big beautiful bill.

Speaker 4 (45:28):
That has passed that is in law.

Speaker 33 (45:31):
And the Democrats that opposed it can go pound sand.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
And just a little clarification in.

Speaker 33 (45:42):
Case the media is hearing, Listen to this very carefully. Folks,
do not see an itch when you're talking to your
neighbors and friends, and it's this, if you work and if.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
You're legal, you're not going to get kicked off medicaid.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
That's a lie.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
It's a lie from desperate people.

Speaker 4 (46:06):
So I want to talk.

Speaker 33 (46:08):
About a few other things today that are also beautiful
besides the big beautiful bill. How about giving the money,
the dollars, the hard earned resources back to the people.
That's beautiful. How About trying to erase trade and tariff
deficits that have been around for decades and decades under

(46:31):
both Republicans and Democrats.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
That's also beautiful.

Speaker 33 (46:37):
How About reducing the temperature so that we don't run
into a nuclear holocaust.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
That's also beautiful.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
How About protecting.

Speaker 33 (46:48):
Every single young woman's right to compete fairly.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
That's beautiful. And not only is it beautiful, it's the
right thing to do.

Speaker 33 (47:03):
Thank you, mister President, and thank you Governor Reynolds, and
thank you to the Iowa legislature you all met together
to make that happen. And one other thing that's beautiful,
how about that delegation, that congressional delegation from Iowa. Oh

(47:23):
six of them voted yes to the big Beautiful bill. Now,
let me tell you a couple of things that are
well ugly not beautiful. How about the left wing nuts
that are.

Speaker 20 (47:40):
Infesting our dialogue.

Speaker 33 (47:42):
In our universities. That sure as a beautiful. How about
the pro Palestinian.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
Rioters that have lost their way and are tax.

Speaker 33 (47:52):
Dollars protesting and acting like complete moronic idiots. I about
opening up the border like the last four years and
allowing danger to infest our country, that sure is a
beautiful And this might be old fashioned, folks, but let
me tell you something else that's ugly, that's not beautiful.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
Yes, you have a right to do it, but it.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Sure is a beautiful when we play the anthem.

Speaker 34 (48:20):
Step the hell up.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
So I just want to end.

Speaker 33 (48:30):
Other than that, I don't have any strong opinions today.
I just want to end with a true story. This
is going to sound like I made it up, But
last night I was on.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
My four wheeler.

Speaker 33 (48:39):
I was taking my grandson Oliver for a drive out
by the creek. He's four years old. Heart and soul.
Of course, I've spoiled him absolutely, completely, utterly.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
Rotten, which is what we're supposed to do.

Speaker 33 (48:51):
And when we were sitting there by the creek, I
was telling him that I'm going to see President truck tomorrow.
So he had all kinds of questions about that. And
there's an eagles desk where we go down. That's why
we go down and watch the creek. At that point,
Honest to goodness, it was like a Hollywood show. The
eagle took off and was in flight and flying around
and all said, look, look, Papa, look, Papa, there's an eagle.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
I'm sir, I'm truly not making this out. So I
finally looked at him.

Speaker 33 (49:17):
I said, Oliver, do you want me to say anything
to the President Trump?

Speaker 2 (49:22):
How telling this was?

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Honestly.

Speaker 33 (49:24):
He looked at me, he says, Papa, tell President Trump
that I love eagles.

Speaker 35 (49:32):
You know what.

Speaker 33 (49:33):
We love eagles, We love Iowa, we love this country.
And here's a message that starts right now, and this
can be a unifying message.

Speaker 26 (49:43):
And that is and I want.

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Everybody to hear you, folks. I want them to hear
you back there.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
We also love President Trump.

Speaker 36 (49:52):
Period.

Speaker 37 (49:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 35 (50:08):
The Army has MEMBC my potential, and I feel like
it's molded me into a better person.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
I grew up in a very patriotic castle.

Speaker 38 (50:17):
My grandmother feed certain World War two and his brother
and my uncle certain in Vietnam that I can do this.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
If they can do this, I can do this.

Speaker 39 (50:24):
When I was born, my dad was still serving sorry
and came coming home in this uniform.

Speaker 33 (50:30):
Yeah, I want to do that, Dad.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
My motivation, I think it follows a lot.

Speaker 37 (50:34):
I think with what my family thought.

Speaker 34 (50:35):
It is kind of a sense of beauty to serve
our country and give back since.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
It's given us so much.

Speaker 31 (50:42):
I'm a very i say timid person, but it definitely
helped me become a more confident person.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Working with a group.

Speaker 35 (50:54):
In my peers, it really shows how much working with
a team goes strengthen.

Speaker 40 (50:59):
You alright, ready to go.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
I drive a lot of purpose from serving others. I
think serving something bigger than myself just be out of.

Speaker 25 (51:07):
Better tore, maybe be enough to do.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
I definitely push myself further than I ever.

Speaker 34 (51:18):
Thought I could go.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
I most of their services.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
I want to deploy. That's my mangal is deployed, deployed, deployed.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
If we get the call we have to go somewhere,
We'll do what needs to be done. That's just the
way we operate here.

Speaker 34 (51:47):
This is one of the few jobs in the nation
where we're all taken over.

Speaker 38 (51:50):
Say I'm willing to put my life on the line
for you, and they're willing to put their life on
the line for me.

Speaker 34 (52:00):
If this is what we trained for, this is what
we do.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
My team leaders are squaliaders. They know exactly what to do.
Check equipment, check weapons, tech, AMMO.

Speaker 35 (52:15):
We're always ready to the point within eighteen hours and
handle the mission that toss. We jump so frequently so

(52:49):
that our jump masters and the paratroopers are ready.

cair shippers as a rush.

Iowa to kick it off. Hey, Iowa has always had
President Trump's back because he has always had hours, whether

(55:49):
it's protecting Iowa's first in the.

Speaker 32 (55:51):
Nation caucus status.

Speaker 41 (55:54):
Championing our farmers, or revitalizing our economy and small business,
and says Donald Trump is making Iowa great again. He
has taken action to secure our border and keep our
communities safe, and under his leadership, border crossings have dropped

(56:18):
to a historic low.

Speaker 32 (56:24):
So we're not immune, of course, to the chaos that
was created by our southern border.

Speaker 41 (56:30):
Over nine years ago, a young Iowan and you all
remember her, Sarah Root of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was killed
by an illegal immigrant drunk driving. This tragedy never should
have happened, but because of a loophole in the law,
Sarah's killer was released. He disappeared, he posted bail, and

(56:55):
he fled the country.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
He escaped justice, at least for the.

Speaker 32 (57:00):
Past nine years. After the Biden.

Speaker 41 (57:03):
Administration removed him from I's most Wanted list. We needed
a White House that would take action on behalf of
American citizens.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
Yeah, who was it? Donald Trump?

Speaker 41 (57:20):
So after his inauguration as our forty seventh president, President
Trump wasted no time in getting to work.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
In fact, he made my Sarah's Law the law of the.

Speaker 41 (57:32):
Land at his first official bill signing in twenty twenty five,
so that this tragedy never happens again. And folks, thanks
to President Trump and the tireless efforts of his administration,
guess what, Sarah's killer was located and extra guided back

(57:57):
to the United States and arch. He is now facing justice,
something that Sarah's parents never thought that they would have.

Speaker 32 (58:13):
But we finally have justice for Sarah Root.

Speaker 41 (58:19):
President Trump does not stop working and delivering for Iowan's abroad.
His strategy of piece through strength is keeping us.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Safe and here at home.

Speaker 41 (58:29):
He is getting the government back to work for you
and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.

Speaker 32 (58:36):
Write folks, make them squeal.

Speaker 41 (58:39):
So, as your senitor, I've been committed to saving your
hard earned tax dollars and making Washington squeal.

Speaker 32 (58:46):
I've been leading the Senate doche.

Speaker 41 (58:48):
Caucus, and I've been working hand in hand with President
Trump to drain the swamp. We are really making them
squeal now.

Speaker 5 (58:58):
So while we're doing we're as.

Speaker 32 (59:00):
Grading wasteful spending.

Speaker 41 (59:01):
We're halting taxpayer funded risky research at Wuhan and China,
and we're slapping for sale signs in front of empty
Washington office spaces.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
That's because you.

Speaker 41 (59:13):
Folks deserve to keep your hard earned taxpayer dollars in
your own pockets. So no wonder, Hawkeye State patriots overwhelmingly
voted to send President Trump back to the White House.
Your voices in November were heard loud and clear.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
We want him to.

Speaker 41 (59:37):
Continue his mandate because his agenda is getting.

Speaker 32 (59:41):
Our country right back on track.

Speaker 41 (59:44):
And that's why this week the Senate did our job
to pass.

Speaker 32 (59:49):
His one big, beautiful bill.

Speaker 41 (59:55):
So we are lowering taxes, cutting red tape, prioritizing rural America,
and growing our economy. And with this bill, we've made
is twenty seventeen tax cuts permanent, and again keeping your
hard earned tax dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:00:11):
So we are on the.

Speaker 41 (01:00:12):
Path to unleashing the Golden Age, not just grow America,
but for Iowa and every other state.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
With President Donald J.

Speaker 41 (01:00:22):
Trump leading the charge, we're going to accomplish so much
more so.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
God bless you.

Speaker 41 (01:00:28):
Thanks to all of you patriots for coming out today
to celebrate this kickoff. God Bless the great State of Iowa,
and of course, God bless these great United States of America.

Speaker 5 (01:00:41):
Thanks for turning out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Iowa.

Speaker 10 (01:01:13):
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage, Senator Chuck Grassley.

Speaker 6 (01:01:25):
Where we dream and.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
Mine blood, where we treat. It's bags were tail.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
To change.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Against entertainments.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
God bless all of you for coming. It's nice to
have hot weather better than cold.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
But thank you for.

Speaker 3 (01:01:59):
Honor our President.

Speaker 42 (01:02:00):
But more importantly, thank you for honoring the United States
of America as we join this opportunity to be with
President Trump to kick off America two hundred and fifty.
We're once again first in the nation, just like every

(01:02:22):
four years were first in the nation.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
You know, tomorrow will be two dred.

Speaker 42 (01:02:30):
And forty nine years since fifty six Americans signed the
Declaration of Independence. By signing that document, they were traders
to King George the Third, but they're what you and
I would honor as freedom fighters. They knew at that

(01:02:56):
time that King George the third was going to restrict
their freedoms.

Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Couldn't do in the colonies what.

Speaker 42 (01:03:07):
Every other British person could do in London and the
British Isles. He was restricting their freedoms. And that's why
they said in the Declaration of Independence, we're endowed by
our creator with certain unad animal rights, among them life, liberty,

(01:03:30):
and the pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
By saying we're endowed by our Creator. We get our
rights and freedoms from God.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
We don't get them.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
We don't get them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
From the government.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
And we know that. Thirteen years later they wrote the Constitution.

Speaker 42 (01:03:57):
The Constitution doesn't say what our rights are, accepting the
Bill of Rights, but that's just a few of the
rights that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Were guaranteed by God.

Speaker 42 (01:04:07):
What it said was that we right this Constitution to
protect the American people from their government. And it still
serves that purpose, and I hope that we appreciate that
in America.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
You know, people of the left get irritated when we.

Speaker 42 (01:04:30):
Talk about the United States being an exceptional nation. It
doesn't mean that were better than any people any place else,
but it does mean word's exception nation from the fact
that we get our rights from God, we don't get
our rights from the government. And it's the only society

(01:04:52):
in six thousand years of humankind that has ever had
that relationship between the government and the American people.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
And what we're honoring for the next year is the.

Speaker 42 (01:05:04):
Preservation of that statement in the Declaration of Independence, we're
anendowed by our Creator, with certain idiomal rights, and we're
going to emphasize that for the next year and honor
it as we traditionally do. I would like to comment

(01:05:29):
just a short period of time about.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
The One Big Beautiful Bill.

Speaker 42 (01:05:41):
I was happy to stay up twenty seven hours to
see that through to its finality. It's a bill that
make sure we don't get the biggest tax increase in
the history of the country. And for all the Democrats
that voted against it, they were voting to have the biggest.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Tax increase in the history of the country.

Speaker 42 (01:06:04):
It strengthens our national defense tremendously.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
It fights wade forced at waste, fraud and abuse.

Speaker 42 (01:06:15):
Now you get tired of us using those terms, but
I think we've proven through many studies that that's just
exactly what happens when government isn't proceeding.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
The way it should.

Speaker 42 (01:06:27):
And I thought I would take just a minute to
tell you what my contribution to the Big Beautiful Bill,
because I'm chairman of the Judiciary Committee and immigration comes
under our responsibilities.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
So we're going to finish the.

Speaker 42 (01:06:47):
Wall, We're going to add We're going to add tremendously
to the number of people patrolling that border. But more importantly,
the number of people that are going to enforce the
immigration laws interior.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
Not just at the border.

Speaker 4 (01:07:10):
And then we.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
And then we're going to.

Speaker 42 (01:07:17):
Have built tremendous number of detention facilities so we can
keep people that have.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Come here on the terrorist watch list, come here with criminal.

Speaker 42 (01:07:29):
Records, come here as human traffickers, sex traffickers, and peddling
fitinel to our young people.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
We're going to make sure that they are walking the street.
We're also going to make sure that sanctuary.

Speaker 42 (01:07:45):
Cities are not a haven for those types of people. So,
if I had to sum up what the Judiciary Committee
did that I have the pleasure of chairing, it's going
to make America safe again.

Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
I leave you.

Speaker 42 (01:08:08):
I leave you with one last point that I don't
think gets the attention it should, and that doesn't have
to have any attention.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
But I'm going to make sure.

Speaker 42 (01:08:18):
As chairman of this committee, by listening to whistleblowers, getting
documents that are being kept from Congress to the United States,
I'm going to make sure that everybody is exposed and
the documents prove it. For the eight years, the eight

(01:08:40):
years that the opposition was trying to put President Trump
in prison, what.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
What we're doing.

Speaker 42 (01:08:56):
Whether we had Republican or Democrat administers over my years
in the United States Congress, this president and his appointees
to the Department Justice and the FBI has given us
the first real cooperation that we should have had under
both Republican Democrat presidents before. But it was just obfuscate

(01:09:21):
and cover up and not let the truth out because
it's going to be embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
So we're getting some whistleblowers their jobs back.

Speaker 42 (01:09:31):
We are releasing documents because I want everybody who had
anything to do since President Trump went down that Golden
elevator in Set twenty fifteen, had been trying to get
him out of the presidency or when he was out
of the presidency, getting into prison. We don't have to

(01:09:52):
put up with that in America. President Trump hadn't put
it in America. And I want to thank President Trump
and his administration for helping me make this stuff more
transparent and put and and never see that it happens again.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 10 (01:10:36):
Please welcome to the stage Iowa Attorney General Brenda byrd.

Speaker 43 (01:10:57):
Dot Well, Iowa. Are we ready to celebrate or what.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
You know?

Speaker 32 (01:11:06):
Isn't it great?

Speaker 44 (01:11:06):
That President Trump chose Iowa to celebrate America's big, beautiful birthday.
And there is no better place than Iowa to kick
off America's two hundred and fiftieth Birthday celebration than our
state Fair.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
Iowa.

Speaker 44 (01:11:24):
We have always come through for President Trump, haven't we?
And today it's America's state Fair. You know, Iowa as
a state did not exist back in seventeen seventy six
when the Declaration of Independence was signed. It was one
hundred and seventy years later that Iowa was admitted to statehood.

(01:11:45):
And President Trump, he could have picked our nation's capital
in Washington, d C.

Speaker 43 (01:11:50):
He could have picked Philadelphia at Independence Hall.

Speaker 44 (01:11:53):
Thank you, President Trump for picking Iowa and bringing our
celebration to the heart of the heart land.

Speaker 43 (01:12:05):
I'm Brunne bird, and I'm so glad to get.

Speaker 44 (01:12:07):
To work for you as your attorney general, get to
uphold our laws and constitution, work every day to protect
Iowan's and as a mom and a prosecutor, I will
always protect our children and keep them safe. I stand
up for law enforcement, and we all back the blue,
don't we. Under the last two years of Biden, I

(01:12:31):
was pretty busy defending.

Speaker 43 (01:12:32):
Your constitutional rights from that non.

Speaker 44 (01:12:34):
Stop assault, whether it was the EPA taking on farmers,
or they're taking away our Second Amendment rights, or even
what we saw where they were going to force boys
to be allowed in girls' bathrooms and sports.

Speaker 43 (01:12:48):
But we held the forces at bay.

Speaker 44 (01:12:50):
Didn't we We held the radicals at bay and upheld
our constitution, and a new day has come. What a
difference since January twentieth. You know, President Trump, he loves farmers,
he protects our rights, he keeps America safe, and he
loves our great country. And our great country is about
two hundred and fifty years old. One more year to

(01:13:12):
celebrate another great president, Abraham Lincoln. He called our Declaration
of Independence an apple of gold, our founding principles.

Speaker 43 (01:13:22):
That is what America is.

Speaker 44 (01:13:24):
And he said that it's an apple of gold and
a frame of silver, the Constitution that enshrines our republican
form of government. We hold these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among
these are life, liberty, and the.

Speaker 32 (01:13:46):
Pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 44 (01:13:48):
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That is our declaration of independence. And I am proud
to be in an American.

Speaker 43 (01:14:06):
I'm also a.

Speaker 44 (01:14:06):
Proud Iowan because we've got a lot to brag about
as a state. You know, Iowa spent sent more soldiers
per capita than any other state in the Union to fight.

Speaker 43 (01:14:18):
In the Civil War, and that was when we were
just in our infancy.

Speaker 44 (01:14:22):
And I'm proud too, both as an Iowa and as
an American because in Iowa, we love our veterans, don't we.
We love them, we respect them, and I'm glad my
favorite veteran is here tonight with us, Bob, my husband,
who served in Iraq in the Iraq War in the
Army combat engineer, Thanks Bob.

Speaker 32 (01:14:42):
And in World War Two.

Speaker 44 (01:14:45):
I am proud that one of the flag racers at
iwo Jima was Marine Corporal then Private first Class Harold
Pye Keller from Brooklyn, Iowa. And here in Iowa, I
think we just might be the best thing since sliced
bread because the first bread slice thing machine, it was
invented right here in Iowa and Davenport. The computer was

(01:15:09):
invented at Iowa State and we are proud of our
agriculture here and we want the whole country to know
what I was born and raised on a farm, and
I am proud Iowa farmers feed and fuel the world.

Speaker 43 (01:15:25):
I'm also proud of this one.

Speaker 44 (01:15:26):
The first woman ever admitted to practice law, Arabella Mansfield.

Speaker 43 (01:15:31):
From right here in Iowa. And another good Iowa record.
You ready for this one?

Speaker 5 (01:15:36):
Get ready?

Speaker 44 (01:15:38):
I think we're pretty good at electing presidents, aren't we.
President Trump is a triple crown winner of Iowa. Last year,
he broke records in our caucuses with a massive win,
and thanks to you, he is back in the White House.

Speaker 43 (01:15:58):
Freedom is not free.

Speaker 44 (01:16:00):
We are the land of the free because of the brave,
and we are so thankful that we have President Trump,
where he has pledged his life, his fortune, and his
sacred honor and sacrifice for our country to the principles
of freedom to make America rate again. God bless you,
God bless our President Trump, and God bless the United

(01:16:21):
States of America.

Speaker 22 (01:16:51):
Before we even had a country, we had an army.

Speaker 19 (01:16:55):
They started as a small, unorganized group of shop owners
and farmers, but the most powerful army in the entire
world to a standstill in Concord, Lexington, and bunker Hill.

Speaker 22 (01:17:07):
Then our Continental Congress chose George Washington as General of
our Continental Army.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
But it wasn't until one year later, on July fourth.

Speaker 19 (01:17:15):
Seventeen seventy six, that news arrived of the signing of
our Declaration of Independence.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
Now we had a new army and a new.

Speaker 19 (01:17:23):
Nation with little gunpowder, no shoes, bloody feet, few cannons,
little training, and even less food.

Speaker 2 (01:17:35):
Valley Forge started in December.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
They went into a winter camp.

Speaker 2 (01:17:38):
Of December of seventeen seventy seven.

Speaker 7 (01:17:40):
Approximately two thousand Americans died that winner of disease.

Speaker 22 (01:17:45):
They lived through hell, but they never ever gave up,
not this army, not this first American army.

Speaker 19 (01:17:52):
Finally, Washington and his army arrived here at Yorktown, where
they had General Cornwallis and his powerful British army trapped
in city against the sea.

Speaker 25 (01:18:01):
All of the preparation that Washington has learned through the
course of those six and a half years meets its
full force here at Yorktown, and he employs it brilliantly.

Speaker 22 (01:18:12):
Sailing from the Caribbean, the French Navy arrived and took
on the British fleet.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Washington decided to make his move.

Speaker 19 (01:18:19):
Our men began digging to get closer and closer to
the fort, finally getting within rifle and cannon range. Naturally,
George Washington chose to set off our first hand and shot.

Speaker 22 (01:18:31):
The British had two small forts in front of the
main fort. They were called Redouts.

Speaker 2 (01:18:36):
Nine and ten.

Speaker 19 (01:18:37):
Then on the moonless night of October fourteen, the American
and French forces attacked through Redoubts. The hand to hand
combat with bayonets, knives and fists was bloody, to say
the least, but within an.

Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
Hour we were victorious.

Speaker 22 (01:18:52):
And as the sun came up the next day, Hornwallis
looked out and realized he was in serious trouble, so
he prepared an all out desk counterattack.

Speaker 2 (01:19:01):
It didn't work, and the British were forced to surrender.

Speaker 25 (01:19:05):
We were supposed to lose to the best army and
the largest and most professional navy in.

Speaker 22 (01:19:10):
The world, but our young army had won the war
and our freedom, the freedom we hold so dear, and
two hundred and fifty years later, for what started as
a ragtag group of shop owners has now become the
most powerful army in the world today, many things are
very different from that army here at work.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
Down but one thing remains the same.

Speaker 19 (01:19:32):
An undying passion, guts and love for our country remains
deep in the heart of today's army. When I look
into their faces, you can see it that will never change.
God bless the United States Army, and God blessed the
United States of America.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
By ed, we appreciate you for sticking with us here

and a historic evening shaping up in Des Moines, Iowa.

We have Brian Glenn and Michelle Bacchus who are there
on the scene, and Brian Michelle. It's been an amazing
couple of first speakers. We had the singers, and it
seems like we're gonna have a couple of more coming
up right before President Trump speaks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
But President Trump right now on truth.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Social taking the victory lap, talking about how great the
big beautiful signing, The big beautiful bill signing will be
is now scheduled tomorrow at four o'clock PM Eastern. Brian
and Michelle, what is the latest? Michelle, We'll start with you.
What's the latest from on the ground in Iowa.

Speaker 6 (01:21:53):
Well, I mentioned it earlier, but I want you to
take a listen to the song playing right now.

Speaker 42 (01:21:57):
Mike.

Speaker 5 (01:21:58):
I'm all across the stake ground. You can hear it.
All I do is win. How fitting is that.

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Given the past few weeks because I'll tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:22:07):
What Brian I said it we're not tired of winning yet.
And that's exactly what's happening.

Speaker 6 (01:22:11):
With the Trump administration, especially as we look this morning
at the big beautiful Bill.

Speaker 5 (01:22:15):
Brian and I were waiting in the car watching those
votes come in.

Speaker 6 (01:22:18):
A lot of people filing in here this morning asking
questions if we add updates in anticipation.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
I'll tell you what. This is what I voted for.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
Brian.

Speaker 6 (01:22:26):
I don't know about you, but I know this is
what all of them out in the crowd voted for
as well. This is the largest tax cut for the
middle class in the nation's history. These are hard working
Americans trying to put food on the pig table and
support their families.

Speaker 5 (01:22:39):
This is a campaign promise that was Kat.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:22:42):
The campaign promise also Michelle, was to come back here
to Iowa and kick off this two fifty celebration. And
that's just what President Trump has done today. Now the
crowd is remaining to come inside. It is technically a workday,
so you got a lot of people that just got
off work and them foul the way to the fairgrounds.
But to your point, where the big beautiful bill. The
impact that will have for all Americans, despite your political background,

(01:23:05):
despite if you've voted for President Trump or not, you
probably will next time you see the effects of a
Republican policy. But the American people are celebrating today. The
ones that depend on tips for income, the ones that
depend on the overtime for their additional income, Well, this
is a good day for them because that I finally
got signed in, voted in, will be signed into law tomorrow.
Out there on the South Lambo, just what a great

(01:23:26):
day for America. And it what a great, great way,
Michelle to kick off July fourth.

Speaker 5 (01:23:30):
Yeah, first in the nation state.

Speaker 6 (01:23:32):
Right here, we see people pil in all day. And
it's funny because last time we were in Iowa, there
were record breaking temperatures, but they were in the negatives.
It was freezing, and if you remember during that time,
President Trump won by a historic amount of pretty large
margins there fast into the night.

Speaker 5 (01:23:48):
Actually, same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:23:50):
Now you're looking at all those people that have supported
President Trump through the years, and although now we're seeing
record breaking temperatures the other way, it's ninety two degrees.

Speaker 5 (01:23:59):
I believe that was the high today.

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
It hasn't stopped anyone, people coming after work, people still
piling in here behind us, really filling out.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
Brian.

Speaker 7 (01:24:06):
If you look at Liberation Day, which we had, it
feels like forever, but it was just a couple of
months ago. And what we've done on the global stage
for international trade and the tariffs, and of course it
seems like the trade deals Michelle come in almost every
other day, so he has.

Speaker 3 (01:24:20):
Taken care of that.

Speaker 7 (01:24:22):
But if you look at the bigger picture of the peacemaker,
President Trump has become the peacemaker. I asked that in
the Oval Office, and I know that's a part of
what he wants his legacy to go down to.

Speaker 3 (01:24:32):
So yes, he is for the American people.

Speaker 7 (01:24:34):
He has absolutely put us first on the global stage
to remain what he would call the hottest country in.

Speaker 3 (01:24:40):
The world, and others call it the hottest country in
the world.

Speaker 7 (01:24:43):
But he will go down as a peacemaker as we
see continually wars around the country, around the world. I
just say that he's putting it into so, you know,
economically speaking, he's brilliant. Foreign policy, he's brilliant and domestic
that I keep saying, Michelle. The month of May, we
had zi border crossings that is an absolute historical record.

(01:25:04):
And it's all because of the policies and the administration
under Donald J.

Speaker 3 (01:25:09):
Trump and the people over at ICE and Tom.

Speaker 7 (01:25:11):
Holman and Christy Noman, the whole really group of people
that have made this happen.

Speaker 1 (01:25:19):
And the stock market closed a little early today but
record high.

Speaker 2 (01:25:24):
So when Brian says.

Speaker 1 (01:25:25):
Economically, I mean the economics are off the chart. President
Trump again, he's been active on truth social from the plane, Jake,
and I want to get your take on this, because
Trump has also put some praise on Tom Emmer and
the Majority Whip and Congressman Steve Scalise. Obviously, Trump is
happy right now with how the House GOP held together

(01:25:48):
and got this done. What do you think some of
the priorities are looking forward, because now that we have
this done, as it's been mentioned on this broadcast, there's
going to be several other opportunities to get more things done.
What do you think they're going to have their eye
on the ball on as we set the stage here
for again what Trump just called a couple of minutes ago,
the new Golden Age.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
What do you think is coming next? Jake?

Speaker 8 (01:26:11):
Well, I think the first priority is to take a
look at some of the things that weren't great in
the big beautiful bill, some of the spending, and see
if they can't make up for that by cutting spending elsewhere.
So the President Trump can look at not only his
fellow Republicans, but all the American people and say, hey,
we know we still have to do more to cut
the deficit and cut the debt, and so in addition

(01:26:32):
to the bill which just passed, we're going to do
some other things to do that. I think that has
to be priority one, because that will It's one thing
when you're just listening to people who are criticizing you,
but this was a criticism not of Trump necessarily, but
of our deficit situation and our death situation.

Speaker 2 (01:26:46):
So I think that's going to be a big thing. Also.

Speaker 8 (01:26:48):
President Trump is going to, i think, in the next year,
really look more head on at.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Our real estate situation in this country.

Speaker 8 (01:26:56):
You know, there's a lot of young people Ben's been
interviewing them in those Fair grams. It doesn't matter whether
you're in Iowa or in New York. It's too expensive
right now to buy a home. Mortgage rates are too high.
Jerome Powell's not cooperating, and so what's the answer When
things cost too much supply and demand. The supply needs
to be increased, and the federal government under President Trump

(01:27:16):
has an opportunity to get rid of some of those
barriers and get more homes built and more housing built
by private industry in this country. I think that's going
to be I think it will be a big priority.
And listen, we know President Trump at his core is
a real estate guy, and you know it's bothering him.
The deals aren't being made that families can't buy homes
because the prices and the mortgage rates are too high.
So I would not be surprised if that isn't a

(01:27:37):
major major part of what comes on after maybe the summer.
We are already in the middle of the summer, So
just a few more months where I think President Trump's
going to tell the American people that buy the midterms,
You're going to see a real difference in the cost
to own a home. That I think is going to
be a big, big priority for him.

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
And you know, you bring up a great point is
the Jerold Powell situation. You know, President Trump has talked
about how hot our country is right now, and by
the way. As you're looking right here live, you are
seeing Air Force one. Got the Air Force one flying
overhead looking to land in Iowa, President Trump obviously with

(01:28:15):
some members of his cabinet on the plane. We're gonna
be landing and speaking shortly. But President Trump about to
land wheels down in Iowa. We got that amazing aerial
shot and a bunch of real America's voice in its
totality today this production just all over the place, all
the different cameras and no other network talking to the

(01:28:36):
people like we're talking to the people.

Speaker 2 (01:28:39):
And that's all in by Ben Berkwam right now. So
let's bring let's bring Ben back in. Ben.

Speaker 1 (01:28:45):
How's the crowd shaping up the Iowa Fairgrounds? I've been
there Trump I believe he has had a rally there before.
How is the Iowa Fairs? I think we have a
speaker coming on stage right now. So we got Burke
Rollins coming on. We're going to take Burke Rollins coming.

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
That cat we're.

Speaker 36 (01:29:12):
Y'all know, madreg wish she thros hands of that car bag.

Speaker 28 (01:29:18):
Please.

Speaker 36 (01:29:19):
I love the chaste her lips when she's missing that
and every time house our country out.

Speaker 4 (01:29:36):
Builder.

Speaker 45 (01:29:39):
Well, Hello, Iowa, who is excited that President Trump is
in the air and on his way to the beautiful
state of Iowa.

Speaker 40 (01:29:56):
Well, listen, y'all, there is no better place to kick
off the new era of American greatness then right here,
right now, on the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Speaker 32 (01:30:07):
Let's go.

Speaker 40 (01:30:11):
Iowa is the backbone of America, and there is a
reason for that.

Speaker 32 (01:30:16):
It is the small towns.

Speaker 40 (01:30:18):
It is the hearts of the people who live here
who power our nation. Iowa feeds America.

Speaker 46 (01:30:28):
Iowa, Iowa, you fuel America, and Iowa will always be
the beating heart of America.

Speaker 32 (01:30:42):
Our American Revolution was fought for.

Speaker 40 (01:30:45):
Many causes, all under the banner of liberty, but central
among them was this the preservation of a people who
work the land, who love their families, who take pride
in our country and our flag, and place there trust
not in the government, but in our almighty God. This

(01:31:11):
is the foundation of our greatness, a greatness that is
being restored by a leader we love and who loves you,
President Donald J.

Speaker 32 (01:31:21):
Trump.

Speaker 40 (01:31:26):
President Trump never forgets that it is this state, that
it is all of you, That it is Iowan's who
help send him back to the White House. For this
the most historic second term of our lifetimes.

Speaker 47 (01:31:42):
And this is why he fought for Iowa farmers in
the One Big, Beautiful Bill, which unleashes economic rural prosperity
by providing the largest working and middle class tax cut.

Speaker 40 (01:31:57):
In history and saving your family farms from the crippling
death tax. Listen, y'all, I am not from the great
state of Iowa. I am a daughter of Texas's.

Speaker 32 (01:32:13):
Farms and small towns. Got a few Texans ere.

Speaker 40 (01:32:18):
I was just a small town ffa kid growing up
bailing hay and racing barrels in the tiny town of
twelve hundred in Glen Rose, Texas. But it is there
where I learn the virtues that run deep through America's heartland,
and that American way of life, of hard work and

(01:32:39):
self sufficiency, of grit and of grace, of faith, and
of family is not some creation that came.

Speaker 32 (01:32:46):
About by accident.

Speaker 40 (01:32:47):
It is the deliberate consequence of the great American founding itself.

Speaker 32 (01:32:53):
It is the creation of.

Speaker 40 (01:32:55):
The founders and the expression of liberty and of freedom.
The founders knew that the culture of entrepreneurship, of independence,
of self reliance, of risk, and of community that characterized
the farming life and our farmers was indispensable to the
new American Republic. No agriculture, no farms, meant no liberty.

(01:33:18):
It was simple then, and it is that simple now.

Speaker 3 (01:33:22):
Iowa and the.

Speaker 40 (01:33:23):
Whole agriculture way of life is therefore both part of
the American experiment.

Speaker 32 (01:33:29):
And a signal of its true success.

Speaker 40 (01:33:33):
The men who sacrificed themselves upon the altar of freedom
at Lexington and Concord two hundred and fifty years ago did.

Speaker 32 (01:33:42):
So so that this nation could exist.

Speaker 40 (01:33:45):
Now, if they could see it, and I believe they
do still see it, they would say it was all
worth it. That connection with history and purpose is important
now more than ever, because we have, for the first
time in a generation, a president of the United States
who understands it and embodies it. President Donald Trump is

(01:34:14):
American in ways the founders would immediately understand, and in
ways that the pioneers who tamed this former wilderness would
have instantly recognized. He is American in ways that Iowans
absolutely understand, so much, so much that he won the
hearts and minds of Iowans and Americans, not once, not twice,

(01:34:39):
but three times. And now that you have brought him
back to the White House again. He is delivering on
his promises inflation. The cost of goods is.

Speaker 48 (01:34:55):
Down, our border is secure, Our partners across the world
are negotiating again for great trade deals for our farmers.

Speaker 40 (01:35:09):
And our ranchers, and the world. The world is returning
to peace once again. And by the way, did y'all
hear that the cost of eggs is a little bit down?
President Trump's American expresses itself in his agenda.

Speaker 32 (01:35:33):
As his Secretary of Agriculture, I can.

Speaker 40 (01:35:35):
Tell you firsthand that his passion for American farmers, for
American ranchers, for our rural America is unmatched. And we
have the joy of keeping up with him in that respect.
And everyone knows that he is explicit and unashamed in
putting America first, in defending American jobs, in defending the

(01:35:58):
American border, in defending the American heartland, in defending the
American farmer, and in defending the American dream.

Speaker 32 (01:36:15):
It's been almost exactly.

Speaker 40 (01:36:18):
One year since that fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania, when
the world stood still.

Speaker 32 (01:36:25):
It is the most uncommon thing in.

Speaker 40 (01:36:27):
The world to be shot and then to rise and
to tell the shocked and terrified crowd to.

Speaker 32 (01:36:35):
Fight, to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight, to
never give up for this country. But it is also
the most American thing.

Speaker 40 (01:36:48):
I mentioned Lexington and Concord, and there's something in that
record of the American Revolution we commemorate now today that
we must never forget. Lexington was an American loss, Concord
and American victory, But the battle records soon after were
more losses.

Speaker 32 (01:37:04):
Than wins for a very long time.

Speaker 40 (01:37:08):
The revolution didn't end because of it, because those Americans
knew the important thing was to fight.

Speaker 32 (01:37:15):
President Trump knows it too. And when you fight, sometimes
you win, sometimes you don't. But if you keep fighting
and God is on your side, you always win.

Speaker 40 (01:37:35):
Tomorrow is the anniversary of our formal independence, the final
fourth of July before the grand celebration of America's two
hundred fiftieth anniversary just one year from tomorrow. It's worth
the celebration, but never forget that for independence to be declared,
the people themselves had to embrace liberty and had to

(01:37:58):
see themselves as mass of the new continent. John Adams
said the revolution was not one on the battlefield alone.

Speaker 32 (01:38:06):
It was also one in the hearts and the minds
of our people.

Speaker 40 (01:38:10):
And it is those hearts and minds to which this
President fights and appeals and which this great state of
Iowa and our farmers and our ranchers embodies so well.
Your lives, your homes, your families, your faith is the
true testament to American independence.

Speaker 32 (01:38:28):
Independence, after all, is not a one time act. It
must be one again.

Speaker 40 (01:38:32):
It must be one again and again, and it must
be one again and every generation proving itself deserving of
the heritage that it receives. Y'all, we will have a
celebration worthy of the anniversary across this entire next year,
we are pulling out all the stops to celebrate two
hundred and fifty years of American greatness.

Speaker 32 (01:38:54):
And President Trump's very.

Speaker 40 (01:38:56):
Special announcement that is coming very very quickly here to
you tonight in.

Speaker 32 (01:39:01):
Iowa will let you know exactly what we're doing.

Speaker 40 (01:39:05):
Just this morning, I announced that we will have in
August the biggest, most amazing American farmers market in the
history of our country in Washington on the National Mall.
And tonight I want to invite all of you, every farmer,
every rancher, every producer from every state who sell their

(01:39:29):
beautiful crops and their products, and their pork and their
beef to join us in Washington one day from one
month from today during National Farmers Market Week.

Speaker 32 (01:39:38):
But let me finish with this.

Speaker 40 (01:39:40):
We are honored to call the greatest country in the
history of the world our home.

Speaker 32 (01:39:46):
President Trump would be the first to tell you love
your country.

Speaker 40 (01:39:51):
He would be the first to tell you that love
America first. When you look around and all of you
patriots that are here, you can feel the love. You
can feel the spirit of patriotism.

Speaker 4 (01:40:03):
In the air. It is that same.

Speaker 32 (01:40:05):
Spirit that won our independence.

Speaker 40 (01:40:08):
And it is that same spirit that moved the first
farmer to sink the first plow into Iowa's beautiful, rich earth.
Tonight I'm reminded of another great Iowa twenty four year
old Martin Treptoe. He worked as a barber in Northwest
Iowa before.

Speaker 32 (01:40:28):
Deploying to France during World War One. Before he gave
his life for his country.

Speaker 40 (01:40:34):
During that war, he wrote in his diary that America
must win this war. Therefore, I will work, I will save,
I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully
and do my utmost as if the issue of the
whole struggle depended on me alone, just as that brave

(01:40:58):
young soldier who did give the ultimate sacrifice in World
War One.

Speaker 32 (01:41:03):
We will work, we will.

Speaker 40 (01:41:06):
Save, we will sacrifice, we will endure, and we will
fight cheerfully and do our utmost as if the issue
of the whole struggle depended on us alone. Thank you, Iowa.
I will be back in a month for your Iowa
State Fair.

Speaker 4 (01:41:27):
I will.

Speaker 40 (01:41:31):
I will proudly be showing in your steer show against
Governor Keim.

Speaker 32 (01:41:37):
Reynolds, your Attorney General, and others. So those of you
at the state fair come say hello, What an honor,
what a joy.

Speaker 40 (01:41:46):
Never forget to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight
for America, for freedom, for liberty.

Speaker 32 (01:41:55):
God bless you all.

Speaker 40 (01:41:56):
God bless President Trump, and God bless then Mid States
of America.

Speaker 32 (01:42:02):
God bless you all.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 27 (01:42:37):
Today we commemorate an event that did not just change
American history, but change the history of the entire world.

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
With the creation of America's Army.

Speaker 30 (01:42:49):
On June fourteenth, seventeen seventy five, Liberty got its shield
and Freedom.

Speaker 3 (01:42:55):
Got his sword.

Speaker 30 (01:43:04):
From Bunker Hill to San Juan Hill, from Gettysburg to
Guadalcanal and from the trenches of the Argonne to the
mountains of Afghanistan.

Speaker 27 (01:43:15):
The Army's forged day legacy of unmatched courage, untold sacrifice,
that of people of glory.

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
Their motto was victory or death.

Speaker 27 (01:43:34):
Over the past two and a half centuries, our warriors
have shown on rival power down through history.

Speaker 30 (01:43:40):
We've been blessed beyond words by this vagan.

Speaker 27 (01:43:43):
Legion of Army, warriors, of patriots, heroes and legends. Thanks
to their extraordinary service of devotion. Two hundred and fifty
years later, America stands tall, America stands proud, and America.

Speaker 2 (01:43:59):
Stands all right.

Speaker 1 (01:44:13):
You have been watching Real America's Voice coverage of America
two point fifty isn't an amazing We have President Trump
for this incredible year. That's kicking off a lot in store.
Our coverage continues from Des Moines, Iowa. We're gonna take
a quick break. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
I'm welcome back, everybody.

Speaker 3 (01:44:42):
I am like Chris By. You are watching Real America's Voice,
and this.

Speaker 2 (01:44:47):
Is the salute to America's celebration. What you're seeing on
the screen right now is the live shot of Air
Force one wheels down in Iowa.

Speaker 1 (01:44:57):
President Trump coming from a joint based Andrews, and he's
on a run.

Speaker 3 (01:45:02):
He's having himself a day.

Speaker 1 (01:45:04):
He's doing congratulatory truth social posts.

Speaker 3 (01:45:07):
He's about it to blaim.

Speaker 1 (01:45:09):
Now to go speak to a raucous crowd of incredible patriots.
We're excited not only to celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of American greatness, but also the big, beautiful bill,
which even has Trump's critics.

Speaker 33 (01:45:25):
Today saying, Wow, the guy is pulling.

Speaker 2 (01:45:28):
Off everything he's wanted to pull off. As you can see,
we are live on the ground in Iowa. Real America's
Voice has been giving you.

Speaker 1 (01:45:36):
All day coverage and I want to bring back into
the conversation our team that we have and we were
about to go to Ben bur Kwam before we had
to take a break for the last speaker. So, Ben, crowd,
it's heating up. How big would you say the crowd is?
Obviously people have come in after work. The Ioway State

(01:45:58):
Fairgrounds or I've been before you and there you're there
now has a really big capacity. Is this the biggest
crowd there? How's it looking, how's the energy? And what
else are you seeing from the ground in Iowa?

Speaker 49 (01:46:11):
Well, so it actually started off pretty small. When we
first got here. I was a little concerned, but again
that's because Trump voters actually work for a living. It's midweek,
it's a Thursday. It's filling in now.

Speaker 17 (01:46:22):
People are getting off work. They're coming in.

Speaker 49 (01:46:24):
Several thousand, couple thousand, several thousand people out here right now.
I couldn't really tell you the number, but if you
look at the gates behind us, the people continue to
pile in. So I have no doubt that they're going
to fill up this area that we're standing in now.

Speaker 17 (01:46:37):
And the people are pumped.

Speaker 5 (01:46:38):
It's hot.

Speaker 49 (01:46:39):
A lot of people have been standing out here for hours.
Thank god, President Trump and the team provided ice cold water,
not just water. They brought ice buckets out and put
the water in. So there have been a few people
that have passed out and they've had emergency response to them.
But in general, people are still uplifted, they're pumped up,
they're ready to see President Trump. They're definitely excited for
that sun to go down and for the fireworks afterwards.

(01:47:01):
But it's just a beautiful day, a beautiful day of
patriots who love this country, who understand the stakes of
you know, what our country has gone through. And I
think in a minute we're going to play some more
of those you know, in particular the immigrants, legal immigrants
that escaped Communism to come here.

Speaker 3 (01:47:19):
You know those stories.

Speaker 49 (01:47:21):
They don't mind sitting out in the sun if it
means protecting their liberty for future generations.

Speaker 1 (01:47:27):
Amazing, amazing, And yes, there have been some incredible interviews today.
I think some of the best interviews that I've ever
seen from being involved with Trump rallies for a long time.
From ben Berg KWAM with great Patriots on the ground.
Let's head over to Michelle and Brian. Michelle and Brian,
we got Trump wheels down. And we also have Rock

(01:47:51):
Rollins who kind of teased Trump making an announcement tonight.
I guess kicking off America to fifty. It's going to
be a year of celebration. Is any insight into what
Brooke Rollins was talking about? Obviously Trump has announced his
plans tomorrow with the White House, but she teamed something
and the crowd was kind of on edge.

Speaker 2 (01:48:09):
Oh we're gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:48:11):
Cut right now, sorry, guys to President Trump. Deep planning
getting off the plane on the ground in Iowa. You
guys see it on your screen.

Speaker 3 (01:48:21):
This is live.

Speaker 1 (01:48:22):
President Trump getting off of the Air Force one onto
the tarmac in Iowa.

Speaker 2 (01:48:29):
Said to take the stage in about an hour. And
he's feeling good today. He changed hats.

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
You know, he was wearing a white hat when he
got on the plane and now he's wearing a red
hat getting off the plane. So President Trump there greeting
members of the military on the tarmac. I'm trying to.

Speaker 2 (01:48:48):
Look and see who he's with. That could be Doug Burgham,
perhaps I think might be Dug Burgham, but with members.

Speaker 1 (01:48:56):
Of his team deep planing and talking to folks right now,
posing for some pictures.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
And like I said earlier in the broadcast.

Speaker 1 (01:49:05):
When he left to go to Washington, DC, doesn't seem
like Trump has slept very much in the last couple
of days.

Speaker 3 (01:49:11):
That's because all we've heard over the.

Speaker 1 (01:49:13):
Last seventy two hours is President Trump bringing in people
to the White House to get them over the finish
line on supporting the Big Beautiful Bill. So President Trump
has been working exceptionally hard, and he set this deadline
because he wanted today not only to be a celebration
of America to fifty, but be a celebration.

Speaker 2 (01:49:36):
Of what we have now known this to be, and
that is the Golden Age of America. This is the
Golden age of America.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
And that kicks off not just with President Trump's executive orders,
but the one big beautiful bill which we'll be signed
into law tomorrow. I'm sure President Trump will be talking
a lot about that and more tonight. Let's go back.
We were just about to talk to Michelle Bachuson and
Brian Glenn. Let's go back to them right now. So, Michelle,

(01:50:04):
you've seen some of the speakers and the crowd has
seen some of it, and we were talking a little
bit about Brooke Rollins teasing something that Trump is going
to announce tonight. Is there any insights, guys into what
President Trump will be.

Speaker 2 (01:50:19):
Unveiling to the public tonight. Go to you, Michelle.

Speaker 6 (01:50:32):
Welcome to the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration. So
we're going to have to hear more about what exactly
that's going to be, but I think it's all going
to relate and definitely be an exciting moment.

Speaker 5 (01:50:43):
It is actually kind of cool.

Speaker 6 (01:50:44):
As we were standing here just about fifteen twenty minutes ago,
everyone started looking up into the.

Speaker 5 (01:50:49):
Crowd pointing into the sky and sheering.

Speaker 6 (01:50:51):
Air Force one was right in the distance, so it
was a cool shot for everyone here to see as
it flew over getting ready to land. Of course, President
Trump had it here to the State Fairgrounds shortly.

Speaker 7 (01:51:02):
It's always great to see Air Force one fly over,
especially when he's president. We've seen Trump Force one fly
over several times during the campaign season, but it's nice
to see Air Force one flyover.

Speaker 2 (01:51:13):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:51:13):
What I think he's going to focus and obviously he's
going to mention the accomplishment of the One Big, Beautiful
Bill and all the aspects of who it benefits all Americans.
But I also think he's going to recap what it's
been like in the White House since January twenty. They
took over all the wins that he's had, historical wins,
the peace making, the economic the deal making, the tariffs
and all of that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
The lowest of crime.

Speaker 7 (01:51:35):
People may not know, but President Trump right now, this
country is on a course to have the lowest crime rate.

Speaker 3 (01:51:43):
You're ready for this and history.

Speaker 7 (01:51:45):
We are on historical lows on crime, and that I
think has largely to do with the shutdown of the border.
So if you stop a lot of the violent criminals
coming in this country and doing petty you know, theft
and crime. Obviously you can cut that down, but it's
just kind of getting law and order. He's back the blue.
He always has been one of the biggest supporters of

(01:52:05):
men and women that serve our country in.

Speaker 3 (01:52:07):
Law enforcement, in a military.

Speaker 7 (01:52:09):
So if you take our police to the street and
they know they can do their jobs with any type
of retribution, no, I think you're going to get better
law enforcement.

Speaker 3 (01:52:17):
And so clearly that has happened.

Speaker 7 (01:52:19):
So Mike, I think we're going to have a total
recap of what the last you know, six months or
so has been in this country.

Speaker 6 (01:52:26):
Yeah, and that would make sense, Brian, now that you
mentioned it, because this is his first stop, this is
kicking off a year long celebration, it makes sense that
he's celebrating in Iowa. He said, it's one of his
favorite places. And to your point, look at what's happened
with the Big Beautiful Bill as well. We now have
the full funding for the border wall. Ice agents are
going to be fully fund as well, able to fully

(01:52:47):
do what they need to do to.

Speaker 5 (01:52:48):
Protect this country. So I believe those crime rates are
going to go down even more.

Speaker 7 (01:52:52):
And I asked them the other day, Mike in the
Oval office about funding the airline industry, the air traffic
controllers and getting the money and upgrading the technology, because
if you've been on a plane the last four years,
it's a horrible experience just coming here for us yesterday
we had some ground complications at DCA.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):
Oh well, it probably took me.

Speaker 7 (01:53:16):
I could have drove from DC to here quicker than
that took me to fly, basically claiming God bless Harry
in the.

Speaker 3 (01:53:21):
Studio right now, we had a team that did drive
from New York to Iowan.

Speaker 7 (01:53:25):
I wouldn't want to be them because I would imagine
it gets very uncomfortable in that car. I don't know
how many stops they'd have to stop at a BUCkies
to go to the bathroom. But my point is he's
going to reinvest in our in our airline industry and
make sure that our airports, our technology is up to speed,
and also to hire We have a major shortage of
people in this country to work in the air air

(01:53:45):
traffic controllers and a lot of it got pushed out
of COVID. But he is investing in the infrastructure of
America and that affects everyone here.

Speaker 5 (01:53:53):
Every single person.

Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:53:55):
That is that is a great point.

Speaker 1 (01:53:56):
And you know it wasn't too long ago or you
could eat easily get direct flights into Des Moines, Iowa,
and then all of a sudden you couldn't get the
flights anymore because they were cutbacks because of more regulation
and red tape.

Speaker 2 (01:54:09):
So Brian, who's on an airplane a lot, understands.

Speaker 1 (01:54:14):
And is telling you guys, the full scope of it
is that just the basic infrastructure of this country over
the last number of years under Biden has totally been deteriorated.
And Trump is the one who said, why do we
have to live with third world airports? And Biden mocked
Trump for that, but it's like, wait a minute, we
are the richest country in the world. Where are the

(01:54:35):
tax dollars going exactly if not for the services of
the American people. So that is a great point, Jacob,
want to go to you and get you in the
conversation here. The Democrats, you know, the Democrats have that
a tough day. They were serenading a king Jeffries for
talking a really long time about nothing. That was I
guess their accomplishment today is that he broke the record

(01:54:57):
for the longest speech on the House floor. I don't
what happened, but it seems like they're patting themselves on.

Speaker 2 (01:55:03):
The back over a whole lot of nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:55:05):
And today now they're having a spontaneous meltdown about how
these ice agents are going to rip families apart and
basically repeating all the propaganda that we've heard over the
last ten years that the American public has grown totally
tone deaf. To Jake, where do you think the Democrat
Party goes from here? Because even CNN tonight, as I'm

(01:55:26):
watching what's going on, even some of the CNN reporters
are acknowledging Trump right now is having his way. He
knows how to work the DC system in better ways
than he ever has. So how do the Democrats respond
to that or try to respond to that in the midterms?

Speaker 3 (01:55:42):
What do you think they're going to try to do
to combat all this?

Speaker 8 (01:55:45):
Well, the first thing they need to find as a leader.
I mean, it might seem like it's a long time
until twenty twenty eight, but they don't have a leader
or anything close to it right now in the party.
And they were doing presidency by Committee when Joe Biden
was in the White House. Really don't know how much
he was part of even that committee. That doesn't work
when you're trying to win over a new voters. You

(01:56:06):
need to have an individual, a personality, and they don't
have one right now. I mean, I just looked at
the latest polls and Pete Boudhaje Edge with like fifteen
percent of support, is at the top of all the
potential Democrats to run for president in twenty twenty eight.
People like Gavin Newsom are a percentage point below.

Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
These people are.

Speaker 8 (01:56:24):
They just don't have a Leader's got to be their
first priority. But you know, to get a leader who
the people like, you have to have democracy. And it's
been a really long time since the Democrats have allowed
even their own voters to choose their candidates. Twenty sixteen,
they inserted Hillary in there, twenty twenty, Biden, twenty twenty four,
Kamala Harris.

Speaker 2 (01:56:45):
They don't even know how to go to the people.
I mean, this is why a rally like.

Speaker 8 (01:56:48):
You're seeing tonight, in an event like you're seeing tonight,
is just so foreign to Democrats right now. The idea
that you have basically a grassroots event, people coming on
their own volition to hear the presidents speak. They could
be doing everything anything else they want to Right now,
they're coming and they're packing the house. He's been doing
this since twenty fifteen. Anyone who doesn't see that as
a unique movement in American history is really missing it

(01:57:10):
and not understanding it. So they need it first to
get a leader. Then they need to find an issue
that isn't incredibly unpopular. The American people overwhelmingly support the
deportation of criminally legal aliens. It's a crazy hill for
them to die on, to not only oppose it, but
then to go visit them in prisons at El Salvador.
They're also dying on the hill of men and boys

(01:57:32):
in girls' sports, which only thirteen percent of the American
public supports. So they need to find a leader, a
and bing. They need to find an issue which isn't suicidal.
They got a lot of work to do. The first
thing they might want to do is stop taking the
money and the influence from I think foreign enemies of
the United States who are indirectly donating to their campaigns,
and then figure out an issue that people really really support.

(01:57:54):
Right now, I don't think they could even I think
they're blindfolded right now. They don't even know how to
find a leader or an issue.

Speaker 19 (01:58:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:58:00):
President Trump said maybe they should put up Jasmine Crockett
as the presidential nominee and then aoc.

Speaker 2 (01:58:06):
Is the vice president. They seem to be getting old,
the president no, great, put them up. All right.

Speaker 1 (01:58:10):
We are going to take a short break right now
and we will be back with so much more coverage
of the Salute to America celebration on Real America's Voice
Company Alive from Iowa. Don't go anywhere, and welcome back everybody.

(01:58:51):
I am I Crispy, and you are tuned into Real
America's Voice. We are live on the ground in Des Moines,
Iowa's President Trump is wheels down in Iowa and will
soon be taking the stage at the America two fifty celebration. Obviously,
the America two fifty Celebration is a big deal, and
it now just became a bigger deal as President Trump

(01:59:15):
notch his biggest legislative win in his political career, getting
the One Big Beautiful Bill passed through Congress. He will
be signing that bill tomorrow at four o'clock PM Eastern.
I'm also hearing out of the control room that President Trump,
in commemoration of the anniversary of the Butler shooting, we'll

(01:59:37):
be having a interview with Laura Trump. So he will
be doing an interview to commemorate the one year anniversary.

Speaker 2 (01:59:46):
We heard Brooke Rollins.

Speaker 3 (01:59:48):
Mention that as well.

Speaker 1 (01:59:50):
And now we're going to go to Ben Berkwam who
is on the ground and he is talking to folks
who are there and have been taking in the sites
and sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:59:59):
Ben, what is the latest? How are the people doing?

Speaker 1 (02:00:03):
You mentioned that people are off work, They're flowing in,
the crowd is buzzing.

Speaker 2 (02:00:07):
President Trump's on the ground. What's the latest, Ben?

Speaker 49 (02:00:11):
Yeah, Hey, thanks Mike. I just want to come over
here to some of these folks. Now, I heard you.
I was eavesdropping on what you were saying. You got
off work, you tried to get off early. You said
your boss said that it wasn't gonna fly. We don't
want to like blow where you work. But why was
it so important for you to.

Speaker 4 (02:00:26):
Come out here?

Speaker 38 (02:00:27):
Because I want to like show my support for the
greatest president in the history of presidents.

Speaker 2 (02:00:33):
Like this dude is phenomenal. He he loves Iowa.

Speaker 38 (02:00:38):
He loves the country like he's America first, one hundred percent.
I think it's been a long time since we've seen
a president like that.

Speaker 17 (02:00:47):
I'm not going to say the company you work for it,
but are you in tech?

Speaker 9 (02:00:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:00:49):
I am, Yeah, you're in tech.

Speaker 17 (02:00:51):
You're a tech bro out here.

Speaker 24 (02:00:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:00:53):
How you know?

Speaker 49 (02:00:53):
You look at the big beautiful bill that just passed,
but they're you know, you have doge in some of
those things that are there that Elon are saying it
isn't enough. What are the priority things for a young
guy like you, a guy that's in technology, What are the.

Speaker 17 (02:01:07):
Priority things that you think we still need to do
going forward?

Speaker 38 (02:01:09):
Well, one thing that I was very excited about. I
just came back from a work trip, so I was
kind of upset about not having no tax on overtime.
But I'm I'm definitely going back and working all the overtime.
No taxes, dude, And then no tax on tips too.
I don't get tips, but like servers, that's how they
make a living, dude. It's like okay for the future,

(02:01:29):
Like we're doing a really good job as a government,
like making sure that the AI infrastructure is like number
one for the US. So like we are staying way
ahead of like China with deep Seek with CHAGBT. It's
that the United States has has given these companies lots

(02:01:50):
and lots of money to to make sure that we're
the number one in the world, because that's that's where
it's head. It's going to be like game changing when
when AI gets implemented the way that these big companies
want to. It's yeah, that's a great point.

Speaker 17 (02:02:04):
By the way, I worked my way through college on tips.

Speaker 49 (02:02:07):
Had I not had to pay taxes on it, that
would have been amazing a millionaire man.

Speaker 3 (02:02:12):
What about you? What are the issues that.

Speaker 4 (02:02:13):
Matter most to you?

Speaker 49 (02:02:14):
By the way they keep saying, Hakim Jeffries was on
the House floor saying how everyone's going to lose their healthcare.

Speaker 17 (02:02:20):
He was ignoring the.

Speaker 49 (02:02:20):
Fact that he was talking about illegal aliens.

Speaker 17 (02:02:23):
Are you concerned about losing.

Speaker 49 (02:02:24):
Your health care because of this big beautiful bill.

Speaker 5 (02:02:26):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 50 (02:02:28):
Haquem Jeffries is blinded like a lot of liberals been.

Speaker 8 (02:02:34):
They just don't tell the truth.

Speaker 5 (02:02:35):
They try to do scare tactics.

Speaker 50 (02:02:37):
And like he said, President Trump loves us, he loves America,
the United States. He's looking out for us. He's the
only president that really cares about us. The rest of
them are warmongers, and we know they're not honest.

Speaker 4 (02:02:55):
And you're amazing.

Speaker 5 (02:02:57):
I follow you, and I just I love what you do.
I love the watch in your videos.

Speaker 3 (02:03:01):
So nice.

Speaker 42 (02:03:02):
It's going.

Speaker 1 (02:03:02):
It's an honor.

Speaker 4 (02:03:04):
Let's go.

Speaker 5 (02:03:05):
Yeah, it's an honor to meet you.

Speaker 49 (02:03:08):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Right coming down the line, guys,
all right, question, we're continuing the pole down here. Should
we're talking about ice. It's hot, right, we want ice.
We want more ice in Iowa doing the question the
water things, ice in the water things too, and then
ice on our ice in our cities, ice everywhere. The
question is do we want to deport more illegals or

(02:03:30):
less illegals?

Speaker 19 (02:03:32):
Oh?

Speaker 51 (02:03:33):
I would say more if they're illegal, yeah, right, I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:03:36):
That's it not legal.

Speaker 17 (02:03:38):
Yeah, illegal immigrant, you come through the right way.

Speaker 49 (02:03:40):
But if you're here illegally, the liberals are out there
screaming about, you know, protecting illegals.

Speaker 17 (02:03:46):
What's your message.

Speaker 51 (02:03:47):
Well, I'd say I follow the rules and the laws.
I mean I teach my kids to follow rules and laws.
I mean, let's just do things the right way. I
think we do need to improve our legal immigration and
speed that up, because I have friends that have been
through the system. They've been going through it for a
long long time, so there needs to be some improvement.

(02:04:08):
But let's do it legally.

Speaker 3 (02:04:09):
It's not that difficult.

Speaker 17 (02:04:10):
It's pretty simple. I thought you'd want to jump in here.
So legal increase, Yes, increase and den.

Speaker 49 (02:04:18):
What's your message in particular either that issue? What are
the top issues for you going forward.

Speaker 52 (02:04:24):
To immigration all of the American I mean, for me,
immigration is just about the cost to Americans in terms
of you know, when people come here legally and we're
housing them and we're paying.

Speaker 5 (02:04:35):
For their healthcare, and we've got homeless.

Speaker 52 (02:04:37):
People that are on the streets, or we've got people
struggling to pay their bills, you know, single moms that
can't pay their rent or buy milk. There's a problem
and that's what I want fixed. I mean, we shouldn't
be supporting people coming here illegally.

Speaker 17 (02:04:50):
Is it crazy to you or to me?

Speaker 49 (02:04:52):
You look at what the left stands for in America
now and you compare that to what the right there
used to be where there would be some common ground,
and I look at it, I'm like, man, they just
hate America.

Speaker 17 (02:05:03):
Where did that come from?

Speaker 52 (02:05:04):
The best clip I've seen lately is Bill Clinton back
when he was I think he was already in the
presidency or he was campaigning.

Speaker 5 (02:05:10):
His whole message was about deporting illegals. That was the
Democratic Party just in the Clinton area. So what's changed, Like,
what what's the purpose? I don't know what their endgame is.

Speaker 52 (02:05:21):
I really don't other than just building a voter base.

Speaker 17 (02:05:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 49 (02:05:25):
Yeah, and Trump arrangement syndrome the census so they get
more congressional representation.

Speaker 2 (02:05:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 49 (02:05:32):
Unbelievable. Unbelievable, Mike. We're going to continue down down the
line here. The line is continuing to grow, it's continuing
to come in. We got some more young people over here.

Speaker 17 (02:05:42):
Thank you for thank you.

Speaker 49 (02:05:43):
Just let me know when you want to jump in though, Mike.
Young folks out here, God bless you. Where you guys from?

Speaker 2 (02:05:47):
Ohio? Ohio?

Speaker 17 (02:05:51):
How did you come just for this?

Speaker 34 (02:05:53):
We were visiting family, okay, and it just happened.

Speaker 17 (02:05:56):
To work out. Yeah, I love it. How many Trump
rallies have you've been to?

Speaker 14 (02:06:00):
This one?

Speaker 4 (02:06:00):
First one?

Speaker 3 (02:06:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:06:01):
I love that.

Speaker 17 (02:06:02):
Excited to see him in person.

Speaker 49 (02:06:04):
Do you think this your generation is waking up to
the is your generation against the wokeness and all of
the LGBT and the yeah, you know, all the craziness
that's going on transgenderism.

Speaker 5 (02:06:19):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 53 (02:06:20):
I think everybody's like changing, they're seeing what's wrong and
they're changing their opinions.

Speaker 49 (02:06:25):
Cool to think for yourself now, because I know for
a long time it was like do everything we tell
you to do, or we'll cancel you.

Speaker 32 (02:06:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:06:36):
Yeah, like.

Speaker 3 (02:06:39):
I mean in.

Speaker 49 (02:06:40):
General, that's it's it's cooler now to be somebody who
actually goes against what the average person tells you to
do then it used to be. It's it's weird that
this has become the counterculture now mm hmm.

Speaker 48 (02:06:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:06:53):
I think it's great.

Speaker 53 (02:06:53):
Like everybody's like seeing like everything and changing their minds
and being like standing up.

Speaker 49 (02:06:59):
For what's And I love that you're I love that
you're waving an American flag and not burning it.

Speaker 17 (02:07:04):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (02:07:06):
Guys.

Speaker 17 (02:07:06):
You want to jump in at all too. Just I
don't have anything. I just from Ohio. It just came out.

Speaker 2 (02:07:11):
Are you going, I'm.

Speaker 34 (02:07:11):
Actually from Des Moines, Okay, Yeah, yeah, I think it's
really nice. That Trump is at the top of his game.

Speaker 2 (02:07:18):
We're here for it.

Speaker 34 (02:07:19):
It's great to see he goes in, he destroys Iranian's
nuclear facilities. He's best friends with Israel, which is amazing.
And I know Bbi's coming to town and they're gonna
have a great time together. But they're doing amazing things
for the world. Really they are. It's it's a whole
different light. It's uh, they're they're winning. That's what it's about.
And and the independent and the people have the independent thought.
And then he's speaking up for the we the people.

(02:07:41):
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 2 (02:07:42):
So it's amazing.

Speaker 49 (02:07:42):
I'm gonna throw back to you in just a second, Mike.
Look at these awesome young guys over here, the next generation.

Speaker 3 (02:07:48):
This is what it's all about.

Speaker 49 (02:07:50):
You guys, no pressure, but the future of our country
is on your shoulders.

Speaker 17 (02:07:53):
Are you up for it?

Speaker 2 (02:07:54):
Oh? Yeah, hopefully? Yeah.

Speaker 17 (02:07:56):
Are you brothers?

Speaker 4 (02:07:57):
Oh yeah, we're from Minnesota? Okay, mind you yeah, sister,
yes here, all.

Speaker 17 (02:08:02):
Right, we got the whole family. We got parents here.
You came in by yourself, Yeah from Minnesota?

Speaker 3 (02:08:07):
Did you drive now?

Speaker 34 (02:08:08):
Actually, our parents are over there.

Speaker 4 (02:08:09):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 49 (02:08:10):
They're here with you, Okay, this is it? So the
question is is this the counter culture now? Is it
cool to be maga? Because it used to be you
had to be one of these weirdo, pink haired you know,
hate America? And I look at it now and it's like,
it's almost cool to be the patriotic one to actually
think for yourself.

Speaker 26 (02:08:31):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (02:08:31):
Am I wrong?

Speaker 2 (02:08:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 37 (02:08:32):
Like a couple of years ago, twenty twenty one, twenty
twenty two, like there's the same called toxic maxidilinity. If
you were a man, you were ashamed for it. But
nowadays it's seemed to have flipped, like in less than
three years, and it's it's really nice to see you.

Speaker 49 (02:08:43):
Yeah, so you guys are both man You'll always be men.
You're a woman, You'll always be a woman. There's nothing
they can change. How the heck did we get to
this place where there is confusion about that?

Speaker 4 (02:08:53):
Is it sin?

Speaker 24 (02:08:55):
Sin?

Speaker 17 (02:08:56):
There?

Speaker 10 (02:08:56):
It is?

Speaker 4 (02:08:56):
Yeah, for sure?

Speaker 3 (02:08:58):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (02:08:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 49 (02:08:59):
The key is getting got back into our country, all
of it. The foundation is the key. You got it
right there, buddies.

Speaker 14 (02:09:05):
Right.

Speaker 49 (02:09:06):
Winner of the Day answered the question one word sin.
We got to cast it out of our country.

Speaker 2 (02:09:10):
What's that?

Speaker 10 (02:09:11):
Right?

Speaker 49 (02:09:12):
Half drinking bottle of water. It's pretty cool, all right, Mike.
I'm to throw it back to your brother.

Speaker 1 (02:09:18):
Oh Man, I tell you, if there wasn't Ben Burg Kwallman,
real America's voice, how would we ever know what the
overwhelming majority of Americans think. You won't see that on
the Faith News on CNN. Thank you very much Ben

break right now and stay with us because President Trump
