Speaker 1 (00:01):
President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address to the American
people from the White House on Wednesday evening, and Trump's
Press secretary Caroline Levitt on Tuesday gave some real hints
as to what the President was going to speak about.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
She made it clear that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He's going to talk about a lot that has been
accomplished over the last eleven months. She was absolutely right.
The President talking about what has to be done to
bring our country back to greatness, and he also continued
on what his plan is when it comes to the economy,
keeping us safe, and also some incredible moments where he's
giving back to our men and women who serve this country,
(00:37):
with a major bonus to our men and women in
the military. The President talked about the real core issue,
the issue of affordability. Yes, he knows that affordability was
the reason why he was elected, and he said he
believes that next year is going to be a great
year for the American people because the progress that's being made.
(00:59):
He also expects there to be future booms with our
economy from his trade and terror policies that have been
implemented in the first year of his second administration to
major things that become a reality. For example, the implementation
of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and
no tax on social security for the majority of Americans,
(01:20):
it will have a major impact for this country. I
want to play for you what the President had to
say in his primetime address to the nation, But first
I want to take a moment to tell you about
an incredible organization, Compassion International. For the next sixty seconds,
can you hit pause on your life and just think
about this. Every day, millions of children face a crushing reality,
(01:44):
a constant defeating message echoes and their empty stomachs and
their desperate eyes. It is that you don't matter. Poverty
doesn't just steal food and shelter. It steals hope, dignity,
and the fundamental belief that they are loved. But there's
another message, one about timeless love and hope. Through Compassion International,
you can change the child's story forever. You can sponsor
(02:06):
child just like I do. You can introduce them to
a loving heavenly father. You can equip them with education,
healthcare and the support to overcome poverty. This isn't just
about one child. It's about transforming families, revitalizing communities, and
changing nations. It's about proving that every child truly matters.
So help give a child a future, give them hope.
(02:29):
Visit compassion dot com today. That's compassion dot Com. Take
a listen to the President of the United States of
America from the White House.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Good Evening, America. Eleven months ago. I inherited a mess,
and I'm fixing it. When I took office, inflation was
the worst in forty eight years, and some would say
in the history of our country, which caused prices to
be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions
and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration,
(03:05):
and it's when we first began hearing the word affordability.
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And insane asylums.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They were drug dealers, gang members, and even eleven thousand,
eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than fifty percent
of whom killed more than one person. This is what
the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and
it can never be allowed to happen again. We had
men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, crime at
(03:47):
record levels, with law enforcement and words such as that
just absolutely forbidden. We had the worst trade deals ever made,
and our country was laughed at from all over the world.
But they're not laughing anymore. Over the past eleven months,
we have brought more positive change to Washington than any
(04:10):
administration in American history. There's never been anything like it,
and I think most would agree. I was elected in
a landslide, winning the popular vote and all seven swing
states and everything else, with a mandate to take on
a sick and corrupt system. That extra really just took
(04:33):
the wealth from people and crushed the dreams of the
American people.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
For the last four years, the.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders,
illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all,
foreign nations which took advantage of US at levels never
seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens.
(05:00):
They decimated your hard earned savings. They indoctrinated your children
with hate for America. Really, I mean, they just released
a level of violent felons that we had never seen
to prey on innocent They caused war, they caused mayhem,
They caused a horrible situation all over the glaw. But
(05:22):
now you have a president who fights for the law abiding,
hard working people of our country, the ones who make
this nation run, who make this nation work. And after
just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could
have imagined. Starting on day one, I took immediate action
to stop the invasion of our southern border. For the
(05:43):
past seven months, zero illegal aliens have been allowed into
our country, which everyone said was absolutely impossible. Do you
remember when Joe Biden said that he needed Congress to
pass legislation to help close the border. He was always
blaming Congress and everyone else. As it turned out, we
didn't need legislation, We just needed a new president.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
We inherited the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Border anywhere in the world, and we quickly turned it
into the strongest border in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
In other words, in a few short months, we went
from worst to best.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We're deporting criminals, restoring safety to our most dangerous cities.
Just take a look at Washington, DC. It's at levels
of safety that we've never seen before, and they decimated
the Blood Thursday foreign drug cartels. We did that all
by ourselves, with our people, and we're so proud of it,
(06:42):
because they were poisoning and destroying our population. Drugs brought
in by ocean and by sea are now down ninety
four percent. We have broken the grip of sinister woke
radicals in our.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Schools, and control over those schools.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Is back now in the hands of our great and
loving States, where education belongs. After rebuilding the United States
military in my first term, and with the addition we are.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Adding right now, we have the.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Most powerful military anywhere in the world, and it's not
even close. I've restored American strength, settled eight wars in
ten months, destroyed the Iran nuclear threat, and ended the
war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in three
thousand years, peace to the Middle East, and secured the
release of the hostages, both living and dead. Here at home,
(07:40):
we're bringing our economy back from the brink of Ruin.
The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our
treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything
at levels never seen before. I am bringing those high
prices down and bringing them down very fast.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Let's look at the facts.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Under the Biden administration, car prices rose twenty two percent
and in many states thirty percent or more. Gasoline rose
thirty to fifty percent, hotel rates rose thirty seven percent,
airfares rose thirty one percent. Now under our leadership, they
are all coming down, and coming down fast. Democrat politicians
(08:23):
also sent the cost of grocery storing, but we are
solving that too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was
down thirty three percent compared to the Biden last year.
The price of eggs is down eighty two percent since March,
and everything else is falling rapidly. And it's not done yet.
(08:44):
But boy, are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's
going on. Here are just some of the efforts that
we have underway. You will see in your wallets and
bank accounts in the new year. After years of record
setting falling incomes, our policies are boosting take home at
a historic pace. Under Biden, real wages plummeted by three
(09:06):
thousand dollars. Under Trump, the typical factory worker has seen
a wage increase of one thousand, three hundred dollars for
construction workers, it's one thousand, eight hundred dollars. For miners
we're bringing back clean, beautiful coal is three thousand, three
hundred dollars. And for the first time in years, wages
(09:26):
are rising much faster than inflation.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Remember that wages. Just look at it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Wages are going up much faster than inflation.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
How big is that?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Very importantly, there are more people working today than at
any time in American history, and one hundred percent of
all jobs created since I took office have been in
the private sector. Think of that, one hundred percent of
all jobs have been in the private sector rather than government,
which is the only way to make a country powerful
(10:02):
and great. This historic trend will continue. Already, I've secured
a record breaking eighteen trillion dollars of investment into the
United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings,
and far greater national security.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Much of this success has.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for
many decades have been used successfully by other countries against US,
but not anymore. Companies know that if they build in America,
there are no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home
to the USA in record numbers. They're building factories and
(10:42):
plants at levels we haven't seen AI automobiles. We're doing
what nobody thought was even possible, not even remotely possible.
There has never, frankly been anything like it. One year ago,
our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country
is ready to fail, totally failed now with the hottest
(11:05):
country anywhere in the world, and that's said by every
single leader that I've spoken to over the last five months.
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big, Beautiful Bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped twelve different bills
(11:30):
up into one beautiful bill that includes no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
(11:51):
refund season of all time because of tariffs. Along with
the just passed one Big Beautiful Bill. Tonight, I am
also proud to announce that more than one thousand, four
hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Think of this.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
One million, four hundred and fifty thousand military service members
will receive a special we call Warrior Dividend before Christmas.
So Warriort Dividend in honor of our nations founding in
seventeen seventy six, we are sending every soldier one thousand,
seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
We made a lot more.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Money than anybody thought because of tariffs, and the bill
helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military,
and I say congratulations to everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It truly is incredible to hear a president think outside
the box announcing the Warrior Dividend for every US military
service member. The checks, as he described it, are already
on their way. Think of that A way to say
thank you to those brave men and women that fight
to protect and offend our country each and every day.
(13:11):
Operation Overlord the D Day Beaches. You and I share
a passion for history, so I hope you'll join me
next spring on the D Day Beaches in Normandy.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The invasion that sealed Hitler's doom, O Maha and Utah.
You're going to discover the sacred patch of sand with
me ten days in Europe, luxury hotels and fully escorted
by America's leading expert on France and the D Day Invasion.
Can chase fifty seven fifty seven and that includes your airfare.
You're going to stand at General Patton's gravesite by Stone Plint,
(13:45):
Duhal and Mulberry Harbor. Call my friends a Conservative Tours
on your cell phone. Just dial pound two fifty and
say the keyword Conservative Tours, or go to Conservative Tours
dot com an A plus rating with the BBB. All
your're sightseeing in Paris, to dial Pound two point fifty
say the keyword Conservative Tours. You'll have the option to
(14:07):
receive a one time auto dialed text message from my
Heart Media. Not only did the President give a incredible
gift to our men and women in uniform, but he
also talked about what's coming for all Americans. Here's more
of the present from the White House.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
We now have record enlistment in our military, and last
year we had among the worst recruitment numbers in our
military's history.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
A lot of difference a year mix.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
In addition, I'm doing what no politician of either party
has ever done, standing up to the special interests to
dramatically reduce the price of prescription drugs. I negotiated directly
with the drug companies and foreign nations to which were
taken advantage of our country for many decades, to slash
prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as four hundred,
(14:55):
five hundred and even six hundred percent. In other words,
you're drug costs will be plummeting downward, and I use
the thread of tariffs to get foreign countries who would
never have done it, to pay the cost of this
giant dollar reduction. They stop ripping us off. And it
began as of four days ago. There has never been
(15:16):
anything like this in the history of our country. Drugs
have only gone up, but now they'll be going down
by numbers never conceived possible. It's called most favored Nation,
and no president has ever had the courage or ability
to get this done until now. The first of these
unprecedented price reductions will be available starting in January through
(15:39):
a new website, trumprx dot gov, and these big price
cuts will greatly reduce the cost of health care. I'm
also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that have
gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that should
go directly to the people. The money should go to
the people, that's you, so they can buy their own
(16:01):
health insurance, which will give far better benefits at much
lower costs.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It will be far better health insurance.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The current Unaffordable Care Act was created to make insurance
companies rich. It was bad health care at much too
higher cost. And you see that now in the steep
increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they
are demanding those increases and it's their fault. It is
not the Republican's fault. It's the Democrat's fault. It's the
(16:31):
Unaffordable Care Act. And everybody knew it. Again, I want
the money to go directly to the people so you
can buy your own health care. You'll get much better
health care at a much lower price. The only losers
will be insurance companies that have gotten rich. In the
Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies,
(16:52):
they will not be happy, but that's okay with me,
because you, the people, are finally going to be getting
great health care at a lower cost. Another major focus
is the cost of energy. For years, the radical left
Democrats exploited the green energy scam as an excuse to
funnel many billions of dollars into their own massive slush funds.
(17:13):
As their energy restrictions drastically drove up prices, and.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They drove them up at record levels.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Electricity cost surge thirty to one hundred percent under Biden,
and the typical family lost five thousand to ten thousand
dollars in higher energy costs. Think of that five thousand
to ten thousand dollars you loss. On day one, I
declared a national energy emergency. Gasoline is now under two
(17:40):
dollars and fifty cents a gallon in much of the country.
In some states it, by the way, just hit one
dollar and ninety nine cents a gallon. And within the
next twelve months we will have opened one thousand, six
hundred new electrical generating plants, a record, and it's a
record that won't be beaten by practically, I would say,
by anybody, or certainly not very soon. Prices on electricity
(18:05):
and everything else will fall dramatically. The Democrat inflation disaster,
again the worst in the history of our country, also
robbed millions of Americans of home ownership and indeed the
American dream. The yearly cost of a typical new mortgage
increased by fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Under Democrat rule.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
In eleven months, we've already gotten that annual cost down
by three thousand dollars, and it's coming down a lot lower. Wait,
do you see the numbers are going to be shocked.
And I'll soon announce our next Chairman of the Federal Reserve,
someone who believes in lower interest rates by a lot,
and mortgage payments will be coming down even further early
(18:48):
the new year, and you will see this.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
In the new year, I will announce.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history.
A major factor in driving up housing costs was the
colossal border invasion.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
We have never been invaded.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
This is the worst thing that Frankly, in my opinion,
the worst thing that the Biden administration did to our
country is the invasion at the border. The last administration
and their allies in Congress brought in millions and millions
of migrants and gave them taxpayer funded housing while your
rent and housing costs kyrocketed. Over sixty percent of growth
(19:28):
in the rental market came from foreign migrants. At the
same time, illegal aliens stall American jobs and flooded emergency rooms,
getting free health care and education paid for by you,
the American taxpayer. They also increased the cost of law
enforcement by numbers so high that they are not even
to be mentioned. For the first time in fifty years,
(19:50):
we are now seeing reverse migration, as migrants go back home,
leaving more housing and more jobs for Americans. In the
year before my election, all net creation of jobs was
going to foreign migrants. Since I took office, one hundred
percent of all net job creation has gone to American
(20:13):
born citizens, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
In the end, government either.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Serves the productive, patriotic, hard work and American citizen, or
it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system,
and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.
Look at Minnesota, where some millions have taken over the
economics of the state and have stolen billions and billions
of dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States
(20:42):
of American.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
We're going to put an end to it. For so long.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
As before my election, the vast majority of good and
decent Americans were forced to watch as corrupt politician plundered
the halls of power, exploited our taxpayers, and pillaged every
system that makes civilized society function.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
But not anymore, and you see that every day. Not anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
We're putting America first, and we are making America great again.
Very simple, We are making America great again. Tonight, after
eleven months, our border is secure, Inflation has stopped, wages
are up, prices are down. Our nation is strong, America
is respected, and our country is back, stronger than ever before.
(21:29):
We're poised for an economic boom the likes of which
the world has never seen. Soon, we will host the
World Cup and the Olympics, both of which I got.
But most importantly, we will celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. There could be
no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to
(21:52):
complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago.
When the world looks at us next year, let them
see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful
to its work, is confident to its identity, certain to
its destiny and.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The envy of the entire globe.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
We are respected again like we have never been respected before.
To each and every one of you, have a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year. God bless you all.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It is nice to hear President of the United States
of America make it so clear what he wants for
this country, and what he wants for this country is
for people to succeed, for the government to get out
of the way, and for the American people to have
more money in their own pockets. Well done, President Trump.
(22:45):
He emphasized that in the last year it has been
a period of meaningful progress and growing strength for the
United States, and that the best is yet to come
as the nation moves into twenty twenty six. Now you
may ask yourself this question, why, Well, much of what
the President has enacted actually hasn't taken effect yet it
(23:06):
starts in twenty twenty six. No tax on tips, for example,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on social Security
for the majority of Americans will have a massive impact
for many Americans and how much money is in their
bank accounts. The President also talked about the incredible impact
of stopping immigration into this country illegal immigration, and how
(23:31):
it's now actually lowering home prices and rental prices, prices
that are expected to come down even more in twenty
twenty six, which brings us to the key achievements and
the policy highlights of economic growth. In investment, President Trump
highlighted the significant economic progress, including what he described as
(23:52):
record level of investment that is flowing into the United
States of America, which he has tied to job creation growth,
much of this coming from the leverage with tariffs. He
framed the recent policies as driving lower prices and stronger
wages for American families. Trump referred to the current economic
(24:13):
trajectory as laying the groundwork for what he cast as
the greatest economy in history. He also did something that
was truly incredible, a Christmas present that men and women
in the military will never forget. As part of his
holiday season message, he announced a one time seventeen seventy
(24:34):
six that's right, one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six
Warrior Dividend check to honor and support US service members
that have been under attack by the left for many years.
I mean listened to the President in his own words
on this incredible moment.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Along with the just past one Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than
one one thousand, four hundred fifty thousand, Think of this,
one million, four hundred and fifty thousand military service members
will receive a special we call Warrior dividend before Christmas,
a warriort dividend.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
In honor of.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Our nations founding in seventeen seventy six, we are sending
every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Not only was the President celebrating our men and women
in military, but he also said that you, as an American,
have something to celebrate coming next spring. Next spring, he says,
it's projected to be the largest tax refund season of
all time. Here's the President in his own words.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big Beautiful Bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped twelve different bills
up into one beautiful bill that includes no tax on tips,
(26:16):
no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
refund season of all time.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Not only does the President know that you need more
money in your pocket and the Left has been taking
far too much of it and wasting it for far
too long, but he also talked about healthcare, which is
actually a very important point for many Americans. He promised
future reductions in drug prices and improvements and affordability for
healthcare as part of the upcoming year's agenda.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that
have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that
should go directly to the people. The money should go
to the people, that's you, so they can buy their
own health insurance, which will give far better benefits at
much lower costs. It will be far better health insurance.
(27:22):
The current Unaffordable Care Act was created to make insurance
companies rich. It was bad health care at much too
higher cost. And you see that now in the steep
increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats, and they
are demanding those increases, and it's their fault. It is
not the Republican's fault. It's the Democrat's fault. It's the
(27:44):
Unaffordable Care Act, and everybody knew it again. I want
the money to go directly to the people, so you
can buy your own health care. You'll get much better
health care at a much lower price. The only losers
will be insurance companies that have gotten rich and the
Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
They will not be happy.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But that's okay with me, because you, the people, are
finally going to be getting great health care at a
lower cost.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Not only will you be getting great health care to
lower costs, the number one donor the Democrats in Congress
have literally been the health care industry. The President then
moved from that issue to another one, immigration and border security.
President Trump counting enhanced border enforcement and immigration control as
(28:33):
part of his administration's accomplishments.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons, and jails, mental institutions, and
insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even
eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than
(28:57):
fifty percent of whom killed more than one This is
what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country,
and it can never be allowed to happen again.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
We had men playing in women's.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Sports, transgender for everybody, crime at record levels, with law
enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden. We
had the worst trade deals ever made, and our country
was laughed at from all over the world. But they're
not laughing anymore. Over the past eleven months, we have
(29:33):
brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in
American history. There's never been anything like it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Most would agree.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote
and all seven swing states and everything else, with a
mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that
xtray really just took the wealth from people and crushed
the dreams of the American people. For the last four years,
(30:06):
the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only
for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists,
and above all, foreign nations which took advantage of US
at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and
towns with illegal aliens. They decimated your hard earned savings.
(30:30):
They indoctrinated your children with hate for America released really,
I mean, they just released a level of violent felons
that we had never seen to prey on innocent They
caused war, they caused mayhem. They caused a horrible situation
all over the globe. But now you have a president
(30:51):
who fights for the law abidy hardworking people of our country,
the ones who make this nation run, who make this
nation work.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
And not only did the President talk about immigration and
border security, he also talked about foreign policy and peace efforts.
He underscored diplomatic progress, including his administration's role in brokering
stability and regions of conflict and reducing global tensions. These
diplomatic themes fed into broader messaging about America's renewed international
(31:22):
leadership and also what it means about security at home.
Throughout the speech, the President framed the future with optimism,
previewing initiatives he intends to pursue in twenty twenty six,
including lower drug costs through the Trump RX Program, broad
tax cuts aimed at benefiting working American families, expanded energy
(31:47):
production to reduce costs for consumers, continued efforts to address
housing affordability and rent relief, and commitment to appointing a
Federal Reserve chair. Focused on lower interest rates to support
economic expansion, which brings us to one thing that many
Americans are going to love. The President also announcing some
(32:10):
of the most aggressive housing reforms so that more Americans
can get in the game, can own a house and
not have to wait till they're much older to be
first time home buyers.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
This in the new year, I will announce some of
the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history. A
major factor in driving up housing costs was the colossal
border invasion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We have never been invaded. This is the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Thing that Frankly, in my opinion, the worst thing that
the Biden administration did to our country is the invasion
at the border. The last administration and their allies in
Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave
them taxpayer funded housing, while your rent and housing costs kyrocketed.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So there it is President the United States of America
making it very clear that he believes that this next
year is actually going to be the best year in
our history when it comes to our economy. In this address,
not only did spotlight our men and women in uniform,
also making it clear we're going back to law and order.
(33:20):
He wants a FED chair that will back lower interest rates.
He wants to keep the focus on the economy. And
also he did not bring up Venezuela. Why because clearly
that's not the focal point of the administration. He said,
we're bringing the economy back from ruin, and the economy
on prices is going.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
To be ease for you. So there is the president.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He said, America, you're going to feel relief in a
bountiful twenty twenty six. And that is this President's Christmas
present to every American. Make sure you share this podcast
with your family and your friends, shared on social media media,
please so others will hear it. And I will see
you back here tomorrow.
President Donald Trump delivered a primetime address to the American
people from the White House on Wednesday evening, and Trump's
Press secretary Caroline Levitt on Tuesday gave some real hints
as to what the President was going to speak about.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
She made it clear that.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
He's going to talk about a lot that has been
accomplished over the last eleven months. She was absolutely right.
The President talking about what has to be done to
bring our country back to greatness, and he also continued
on what his plan is when it comes to the economy,
keeping us safe, and also some incredible moments where he's
giving back to our men and women who serve this country,
(00:37):
with a major bonus to our men and women in
the military. The President talked about the real core issue,
the issue of affordability. Yes, he knows that affordability was
the reason why he was elected, and he said he
believes that next year is going to be a great
year for the American people because the progress that's being made.
(00:59):
He also expects there to be future booms with our
economy from his trade and terror policies that have been
implemented in the first year of his second administration to
major things that become a reality. For example, the implementation
of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and
no tax on social security for the majority of Americans,
(01:20):
it will have a major impact for this country. I
want to play for you what the President had to
say in his primetime address to the nation, But first
I want to take a moment to tell you about
an incredible organization, Compassion International. For the next sixty seconds,
can you hit pause on your life and just think
about this. Every day, millions of children face a crushing reality,
(01:44):
a constant defeating message echoes and their empty stomachs and
their desperate eyes. It is that you don't matter. Poverty
doesn't just steal food and shelter. It steals hope, dignity,
and the fundamental belief that they are loved. But there's
another message, one about timeless love and hope. Through Compassion International,
you can change the child's story forever. You can sponsor
(02:06):
child just like I do. You can introduce them to
a loving heavenly father. You can equip them with education,
healthcare and the support to overcome poverty. This isn't just
about one child. It's about transforming families, revitalizing communities, and
changing nations. It's about proving that every child truly matters.
So help give a child a future, give them hope.
(02:29):
Visit compassion dot com today. That's compassion dot Com. Take
a listen to the President of the United States of
America from the White House.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Good Evening, America. Eleven months ago. I inherited a mess,
and I'm fixing it. When I took office, inflation was
the worst in forty eight years, and some would say
in the history of our country, which caused prices to
be higher than ever before, making life unaffordable for millions
and millions of Americans. This happened during a Democrat administration,
(03:05):
and it's when we first began hearing the word affordability.
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And insane asylums.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
They were drug dealers, gang members, and even eleven thousand,
eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than fifty percent
of whom killed more than one person. This is what
the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country, and
it can never be allowed to happen again. We had
men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, crime at
(03:47):
record levels, with law enforcement and words such as that
just absolutely forbidden. We had the worst trade deals ever made,
and our country was laughed at from all over the world.
But they're not laughing anymore. Over the past eleven months,
we have brought more positive change to Washington than any
(04:10):
administration in American history. There's never been anything like it,
and I think most would agree. I was elected in
a landslide, winning the popular vote and all seven swing
states and everything else, with a mandate to take on
a sick and corrupt system. That extra really just took
(04:33):
the wealth from people and crushed the dreams of the
American people.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
For the last four years, the.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
United States was ruled by politicians who fought only for insiders,
illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists, and above all,
foreign nations which took advantage of US at levels never
seen before. They flooded your cities and towns with illegal aliens.
(05:00):
They decimated your hard earned savings. They indoctrinated your children
with hate for America. Really, I mean, they just released
a level of violent felons that we had never seen
to prey on innocent They caused war, they caused mayhem,
They caused a horrible situation all over the glaw. But
(05:22):
now you have a president who fights for the law abiding,
hard working people of our country, the ones who make
this nation run, who make this nation work. And after
just one year, we have achieved more than anyone could
have imagined. Starting on day one, I took immediate action
to stop the invasion of our southern border. For the
(05:43):
past seven months, zero illegal aliens have been allowed into
our country, which everyone said was absolutely impossible. Do you
remember when Joe Biden said that he needed Congress to
pass legislation to help close the border. He was always
blaming Congress and everyone else. As it turned out, we
didn't need legislation, We just needed a new president.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
We inherited the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Border anywhere in the world, and we quickly turned it
into the strongest border in the history of our country.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
In other words, in a few short months, we went
from worst to best.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
We're deporting criminals, restoring safety to our most dangerous cities.
Just take a look at Washington, DC. It's at levels
of safety that we've never seen before, and they decimated
the Blood Thursday foreign drug cartels. We did that all
by ourselves, with our people, and we're so proud of it,
(06:42):
because they were poisoning and destroying our population. Drugs brought
in by ocean and by sea are now down ninety
four percent. We have broken the grip of sinister woke
radicals in our.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Schools, and control over those schools.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Is back now in the hands of our great and
loving States, where education belongs. After rebuilding the United States
military in my first term, and with the addition we are.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Adding right now, we have the.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Most powerful military anywhere in the world, and it's not
even close. I've restored American strength, settled eight wars in
ten months, destroyed the Iran nuclear threat, and ended the
war in Gaza, bringing for the first time in three
thousand years, peace to the Middle East, and secured the
release of the hostages, both living and dead. Here at home,
(07:40):
we're bringing our economy back from the brink of Ruin.
The last administration and their allies in Congress looted our
treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up prices and everything
at levels never seen before. I am bringing those high
prices down and bringing them down very fast.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Let's look at the facts.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Under the Biden administration, car prices rose twenty two percent
and in many states thirty percent or more. Gasoline rose
thirty to fifty percent, hotel rates rose thirty seven percent,
airfares rose thirty one percent. Now under our leadership, they
are all coming down, and coming down fast. Democrat politicians
(08:23):
also sent the cost of grocery storing, but we are
solving that too. The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was
down thirty three percent compared to the Biden last year.
The price of eggs is down eighty two percent since March,
and everything else is falling rapidly. And it's not done yet.
(08:44):
But boy, are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's
going on. Here are just some of the efforts that
we have underway. You will see in your wallets and
bank accounts in the new year. After years of record
setting falling incomes, our policies are boosting take home at
a historic pace. Under Biden, real wages plummeted by three
(09:06):
thousand dollars. Under Trump, the typical factory worker has seen
a wage increase of one thousand, three hundred dollars for
construction workers, it's one thousand, eight hundred dollars. For miners
we're bringing back clean, beautiful coal is three thousand, three
hundred dollars. And for the first time in years, wages
(09:26):
are rising much faster than inflation.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Remember that wages. Just look at it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Wages are going up much faster than inflation.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
How big is that?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Very importantly, there are more people working today than at
any time in American history, and one hundred percent of
all jobs created since I took office have been in
the private sector. Think of that, one hundred percent of
all jobs have been in the private sector rather than government,
which is the only way to make a country powerful
(10:02):
and great. This historic trend will continue. Already, I've secured
a record breaking eighteen trillion dollars of investment into the
United States, which means jobs, wage increases, growth, factory openings,
and far greater national security.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Much of this success has.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Been accomplished by tariffs, my favorite word, tariffs, which for
many decades have been used successfully by other countries against US,
but not anymore. Companies know that if they build in America,
there are no tariffs, and that's why they're coming home
to the USA in record numbers. They're building factories and
(10:42):
plants at levels we haven't seen AI automobiles. We're doing
what nobody thought was even possible, not even remotely possible.
There has never, frankly been anything like it. One year ago,
our country was dead. We were absolutely dead. Our country
is ready to fail, totally failed now with the hottest
(11:05):
country anywhere in the world, and that's said by every
single leader that I've spoken to over the last five months.
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big, Beautiful Bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped twelve different bills
(11:30):
up into one beautiful bill that includes no tax on tips,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
(11:51):
refund season of all time because of tariffs. Along with
the just passed one Big Beautiful Bill. Tonight, I am
also proud to announce that more than one thousand, four
hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Think of this.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
One million, four hundred and fifty thousand military service members
will receive a special we call Warrior Dividend before Christmas.
So Warriort Dividend in honor of our nations founding in
seventeen seventy six, we are sending every soldier one thousand,
seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
We made a lot more.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Money than anybody thought because of tariffs, and the bill
helped us along. Nobody deserves it more than our military,
and I say congratulations to everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
It truly is incredible to hear a president think outside
the box announcing the Warrior Dividend for every US military
service member. The checks, as he described it, are already
on their way. Think of that A way to say
thank you to those brave men and women that fight
to protect and offend our country each and every day.
(13:11):
Operation Overlord the D Day Beaches. You and I share
a passion for history, so I hope you'll join me
next spring on the D Day Beaches in Normandy.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The invasion that sealed Hitler's doom, O Maha and Utah.
You're going to discover the sacred patch of sand with
me ten days in Europe, luxury hotels and fully escorted
by America's leading expert on France and the D Day Invasion.
Can chase fifty seven fifty seven and that includes your airfare.
You're going to stand at General Patton's gravesite by Stone Plint,
(13:45):
Duhal and Mulberry Harbor. Call my friends a Conservative Tours
on your cell phone. Just dial pound two fifty and
say the keyword Conservative Tours, or go to Conservative Tours
dot com an A plus rating with the BBB. All
your're sightseeing in Paris, to dial Pound two point fifty
say the keyword Conservative Tours. You'll have the option to
(14:07):
receive a one time auto dialed text message from my
Heart Media. Not only did the President give a incredible
gift to our men and women in uniform, but he
also talked about what's coming for all Americans. Here's more
of the present from the White House.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
We now have record enlistment in our military, and last
year we had among the worst recruitment numbers in our
military's history.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
A lot of difference a year mix.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
In addition, I'm doing what no politician of either party
has ever done, standing up to the special interests to
dramatically reduce the price of prescription drugs. I negotiated directly
with the drug companies and foreign nations to which were
taken advantage of our country for many decades, to slash
prices on drugs and pharmaceuticals by as much as four hundred,
(14:55):
five hundred and even six hundred percent. In other words,
you're drug costs will be plummeting downward, and I use
the thread of tariffs to get foreign countries who would
never have done it, to pay the cost of this
giant dollar reduction. They stop ripping us off. And it
began as of four days ago. There has never been
(15:16):
anything like this in the history of our country. Drugs
have only gone up, but now they'll be going down
by numbers never conceived possible. It's called most favored Nation,
and no president has ever had the courage or ability
to get this done until now. The first of these
unprecedented price reductions will be available starting in January through
(15:39):
a new website, trumprx dot gov, and these big price
cuts will greatly reduce the cost of health care. I'm
also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that have
gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that should
go directly to the people. The money should go to
the people, that's you, so they can buy their own
(16:01):
health insurance, which will give far better benefits at much
lower costs.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It will be far better health insurance.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The current Unaffordable Care Act was created to make insurance
companies rich. It was bad health care at much too
higher cost. And you see that now in the steep
increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats. And they
are demanding those increases and it's their fault. It is
not the Republican's fault. It's the Democrat's fault. It's the
(16:31):
Unaffordable Care Act. And everybody knew it. Again, I want
the money to go directly to the people so you
can buy your own health care. You'll get much better
health care at a much lower price. The only losers
will be insurance companies that have gotten rich. In the
Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies,
(16:52):
they will not be happy, but that's okay with me,
because you, the people, are finally going to be getting
great health care at a lower cost. Another major focus
is the cost of energy. For years, the radical left
Democrats exploited the green energy scam as an excuse to
funnel many billions of dollars into their own massive slush funds.
(17:13):
As their energy restrictions drastically drove up prices, and.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
They drove them up at record levels.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Electricity cost surge thirty to one hundred percent under Biden,
and the typical family lost five thousand to ten thousand
dollars in higher energy costs. Think of that five thousand
to ten thousand dollars you loss. On day one, I
declared a national energy emergency. Gasoline is now under two
(17:40):
dollars and fifty cents a gallon in much of the country.
In some states it, by the way, just hit one
dollar and ninety nine cents a gallon. And within the
next twelve months we will have opened one thousand, six
hundred new electrical generating plants, a record, and it's a
record that won't be beaten by practically, I would say,
by anybody, or certainly not very soon. Prices on electricity
(18:05):
and everything else will fall dramatically. The Democrat inflation disaster,
again the worst in the history of our country, also
robbed millions of Americans of home ownership and indeed the
American dream. The yearly cost of a typical new mortgage
increased by fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Under Democrat rule.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
In eleven months, we've already gotten that annual cost down
by three thousand dollars, and it's coming down a lot lower. Wait,
do you see the numbers are going to be shocked.
And I'll soon announce our next Chairman of the Federal Reserve,
someone who believes in lower interest rates by a lot,
and mortgage payments will be coming down even further early
(18:48):
the new year, and you will see this.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
In the new year, I will announce.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Some of the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history.
A major factor in driving up housing costs was the
colossal border invasion.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
We have never been invaded.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
This is the worst thing that Frankly, in my opinion,
the worst thing that the Biden administration did to our
country is the invasion at the border. The last administration
and their allies in Congress brought in millions and millions
of migrants and gave them taxpayer funded housing while your
rent and housing costs kyrocketed. Over sixty percent of growth
(19:28):
in the rental market came from foreign migrants. At the
same time, illegal aliens stall American jobs and flooded emergency rooms,
getting free health care and education paid for by you,
the American taxpayer. They also increased the cost of law
enforcement by numbers so high that they are not even
to be mentioned. For the first time in fifty years,
(19:50):
we are now seeing reverse migration, as migrants go back home,
leaving more housing and more jobs for Americans. In the
year before my election, all net creation of jobs was
going to foreign migrants. Since I took office, one hundred
percent of all net job creation has gone to American
(20:13):
born citizens, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
In the end, government either.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Serves the productive, patriotic, hard work and American citizen, or
it serves those who break the laws, cheat the system,
and seek power and profit at the expense of our nation.
Look at Minnesota, where some millions have taken over the
economics of the state and have stolen billions and billions
of dollars from Minnesota and indeed from the United States
(20:42):
of American.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
We're going to put an end to it. For so long.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
As before my election, the vast majority of good and
decent Americans were forced to watch as corrupt politician plundered
the halls of power, exploited our taxpayers, and pillaged every
system that makes civilized society function.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
But not anymore, and you see that every day. Not anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
We're putting America first, and we are making America great again.
Very simple, We are making America great again. Tonight, after
eleven months, our border is secure, Inflation has stopped, wages
are up, prices are down. Our nation is strong, America
is respected, and our country is back, stronger than ever before.
(21:29):
We're poised for an economic boom the likes of which
the world has never seen. Soon, we will host the
World Cup and the Olympics, both of which I got.
But most importantly, we will celebrate the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. There could be
no more fitting tribute to this epic milestone than to
(21:52):
complete the comeback of America that began just one year ago.
When the world looks at us next year, let them
see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful
to its work, is confident to its identity, certain to
its destiny and.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The envy of the entire globe.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
We are respected again like we have never been respected before.
To each and every one of you, have a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year. God bless you all.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
It is nice to hear President of the United States
of America make it so clear what he wants for
this country, and what he wants for this country is
for people to succeed, for the government to get out
of the way, and for the American people to have
more money in their own pockets. Well done, President Trump.
(22:45):
He emphasized that in the last year it has been
a period of meaningful progress and growing strength for the
United States, and that the best is yet to come
as the nation moves into twenty twenty six. Now you
may ask yourself this question, why, Well, much of what
the President has enacted actually hasn't taken effect yet it
(23:06):
starts in twenty twenty six. No tax on tips, for example,
no tax on overtime, and no tax on social Security
for the majority of Americans will have a massive impact
for many Americans and how much money is in their
bank accounts. The President also talked about the incredible impact
of stopping immigration into this country illegal immigration, and how
(23:31):
it's now actually lowering home prices and rental prices, prices
that are expected to come down even more in twenty
twenty six, which brings us to the key achievements and
the policy highlights of economic growth. In investment, President Trump
highlighted the significant economic progress, including what he described as
(23:52):
record level of investment that is flowing into the United
States of America, which he has tied to job creation growth,
much of this coming from the leverage with tariffs. He
framed the recent policies as driving lower prices and stronger
wages for American families. Trump referred to the current economic
(24:13):
trajectory as laying the groundwork for what he cast as
the greatest economy in history. He also did something that
was truly incredible, a Christmas present that men and women
in the military will never forget. As part of his
holiday season message, he announced a one time seventeen seventy
(24:34):
six that's right, one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six
Warrior Dividend check to honor and support US service members
that have been under attack by the left for many years.
I mean listened to the President in his own words
on this incredible moment.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Along with the just past one Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than
one one thousand, four hundred fifty thousand, Think of this,
one million, four hundred and fifty thousand military service members
will receive a special we call Warrior dividend before Christmas,
a warriort dividend.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
In honor of.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Our nations founding in seventeen seventy six, we are sending
every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Think of that, and the checks are already on the way.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Nobody understood that one until about thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Not only was the President celebrating our men and women
in military, but he also said that you, as an American,
have something to celebrate coming next spring. Next spring, he says,
it's projected to be the largest tax refund season of
all time. Here's the President in his own words.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Next year, you will also see the results of the
largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
through our great, big Beautiful Bill, perhaps the most sweeping
legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped twelve different bills
up into one beautiful bill that includes no tax on tips,
(26:16):
no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security
for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many families will
be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year,
and next spring is projected to be the largest tax
refund season of all time.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Not only does the President know that you need more
money in your pocket and the Left has been taking
far too much of it and wasting it for far
too long, but he also talked about healthcare, which is
actually a very important point for many Americans. He promised
future reductions in drug prices and improvements and affordability for
healthcare as part of the upcoming year's agenda.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that
have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money that
should go directly to the people. The money should go
to the people, that's you, so they can buy their
own health insurance, which will give far better benefits at
much lower costs. It will be far better health insurance.
(27:22):
The current Unaffordable Care Act was created to make insurance
companies rich. It was bad health care at much too
higher cost. And you see that now in the steep
increase in premiums being demanded by the Democrats, and they
are demanding those increases, and it's their fault. It is
not the Republican's fault. It's the Democrat's fault. It's the
(27:44):
Unaffordable Care Act, and everybody knew it again. I want
the money to go directly to the people, so you
can buy your own health care. You'll get much better
health care at a much lower price. The only losers
will be insurance companies that have gotten rich and the
Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those same insurance companies.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
They will not be happy.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But that's okay with me, because you, the people, are
finally going to be getting great health care at a
lower cost.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Not only will you be getting great health care to
lower costs, the number one donor the Democrats in Congress
have literally been the health care industry. The President then
moved from that issue to another one, immigration and border security.
President Trump counting enhanced border enforcement and immigration control as
(28:33):
part of his administration's accomplishments.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Our border was open, and because of this, our country
was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
many who came from prisons, and jails, mental institutions, and
insane asylums. They were drug dealers, gang members, and even
eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than
(28:57):
fifty percent of whom killed more than one This is
what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country,
and it can never be allowed to happen again.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
We had men playing in women's.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Sports, transgender for everybody, crime at record levels, with law
enforcement and words such as that just absolutely forbidden. We
had the worst trade deals ever made, and our country
was laughed at from all over the world. But they're
not laughing anymore. Over the past eleven months, we have
(29:33):
brought more positive change to Washington than any administration in
American history. There's never been anything like it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Most would agree.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote
and all seven swing states and everything else, with a
mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that
xtray really just took the wealth from people and crushed
the dreams of the American people. For the last four years,
(30:06):
the United States was ruled by politicians who fought only
for insiders, illegal aliens, career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists,
and above all, foreign nations which took advantage of US
at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and
towns with illegal aliens. They decimated your hard earned savings.
(30:30):
They indoctrinated your children with hate for America released really,
I mean, they just released a level of violent felons
that we had never seen to prey on innocent They
caused war, they caused mayhem. They caused a horrible situation
all over the globe. But now you have a president
(30:51):
who fights for the law abidy hardworking people of our country,
the ones who make this nation run, who make this
nation work.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
And not only did the President talk about immigration and
border security, he also talked about foreign policy and peace efforts.
He underscored diplomatic progress, including his administration's role in brokering
stability and regions of conflict and reducing global tensions. These
diplomatic themes fed into broader messaging about America's renewed international
(31:22):
leadership and also what it means about security at home.
Throughout the speech, the President framed the future with optimism,
previewing initiatives he intends to pursue in twenty twenty six,
including lower drug costs through the Trump RX Program, broad
tax cuts aimed at benefiting working American families, expanded energy
(31:47):
production to reduce costs for consumers, continued efforts to address
housing affordability and rent relief, and commitment to appointing a
Federal Reserve chair. Focused on lower interest rates to support
economic expansion, which brings us to one thing that many
Americans are going to love. The President also announcing some
(32:10):
of the most aggressive housing reforms so that more Americans
can get in the game, can own a house and
not have to wait till they're much older to be
first time home buyers.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
This in the new year, I will announce some of
the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history. A
major factor in driving up housing costs was the colossal
border invasion.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
We have never been invaded. This is the worst.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Thing that Frankly, in my opinion, the worst thing that
the Biden administration did to our country is the invasion
at the border. The last administration and their allies in
Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave
them taxpayer funded housing, while your rent and housing costs kyrocketed.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
So there it is President the United States of America
making it very clear that he believes that this next
year is actually going to be the best year in
our history when it comes to our economy. In this address,
not only did spotlight our men and women in uniform,
also making it clear we're going back to law and order.
(33:20):
He wants a FED chair that will back lower interest rates.
He wants to keep the focus on the economy. And
also he did not bring up Venezuela. Why because clearly
that's not the focal point of the administration. He said,
we're bringing the economy back from ruin, and the economy
on prices is going.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
To be ease for you. So there is the president.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
He said, America, you're going to feel relief in a
bountiful twenty twenty six. And that is this President's Christmas
present to every American. Make sure you share this podcast

please so others will hear it. And I will see
you back here tomorrow.
