Trump Declares Fentanyl a WMD plus Liberals made it UP No Probable Cause & Trump Promises the Best in 2026 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: President Trump has made it very clear that he believes
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that fetnyl is a national security threat. It is killing,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in essence a plane of Americans every single day. No
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one in this country would stand for a plane crash
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: every day, of innocent Americans crashing to the ground. But
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of what is happening at the hands
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of Narco Terris.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is moving forward with an idea of classifying
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: fetnyl as a weapon of mass destruction. That's right, President
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Trump saying on Monday that he was classifying fetnol as
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a weapon of mass destruction, ramping up his administration's campaign
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: against drug cartels in Latin America. Quote, no bomb does
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: what this is doing. Two hundred to three hundred thousand
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: people die every year that we know of, Trump said
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: at the signing of an executive order that places fetnah
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the same category as new clear and chemical weapons.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, the Centers for Disease Control and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Prevention report an estimated total of about eighty thousand overdose
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: deaths in the country, with some forty eight thousand of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: those due to synthetic opioids. The executive order set illicit
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: fetnyl is closer to a chemical weapon than a narcotic,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and that it threatens our national security and fuels lawlessness
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in our hemisphere and at our borders. The fetanyl classification
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: ties in with the Trump administration's war against alleged narco terrists,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: which has included a military campaign targeting drug smuggling boats
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with strikes that have left nearly ninety people dead since
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: early September. While Trump argues that destroying each of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: more than twenty intercepted vessels saves twenty five thousand American lives,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the left is furious that the president would actually go
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: after boats carrying cocaine and feyl and other synthetic opioids
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: driving the overdose crisis. Leave it to the Democratic Party
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to defend the terrorists instead of protecting American citizens. Trump
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: is a coming to strikes with a massive military build
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: up as well in the Caribbean that includes the world's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: largest aircraft carrier and a slew of other warships, While
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a string of US military aircraft have flown along Venezuela's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: coast in recent weeks now. While Trump and his administration
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: say the target of the military build up is drug trafficking.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Venezuela is radical narco terrorist leader Maduro is accusing Washington
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of using narcotics smuggling as a pretext for what he
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: says is regime change in Caracas. The United States has
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: sought to link the two issues, and Donald Trump is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: leading on it, accusing Madua of leading the alleged Cartel
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of the Suns, which is declared to narco terrorist organization,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and now offering a fifty million a reward for information
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: leading to Maduro's capture. So this is yet again another
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: campaign promise that has now turned into reality. President Trump
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: said he was going to do everything he could to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: keep American safe from fetnol, and this is one step
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: forward in classifying the drug in a way that now
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: allows him even more authority to go after those that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: are selling it, those that are shipping it, and those
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that are producing it. I want you to just pause
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what you're doing for the next sixty seconds, and I
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: want you to imagine Lucy, a seven year old. Her
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: stomach often aches with hunger, her small hands instead of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: holding crayons, No, only the struggle of survival on dusty streets.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: School is a distant dream. Medical care forgotten hope. Lucy's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: potential is overshadowed, her future is dim. But what if
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: someone stepped in? What if there was a way to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: ignite hope for children just like Lucy? Well there is,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and that is with compacts, international partners, and the local
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: churches that provide children holistic support more than just food.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They receive critical medical care, life changing education, vital skills training,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and spiritual development all in Jesus's name. And you can
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: empower a child just like Lucy to break free from poverty.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I want you to do what I've done and sponsor
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a child today. You can visit compassion dot com. That's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: compassion dot com. New files are revealing that the Department
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of Justice and the FBI did not have cause to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: raid mar Lago. That coming now from shocking information that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: has been released by Senator Chuck Grassley. The newly released
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: emails and records that were made public show that FBI
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: officials internally, in writing where question whether they had probable
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: causes seek a search warrant from a Lago In August
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. Emails state that the FBI's own
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Washington Field office did not believe the evidence established probable
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: cause for a raid at that time. Despite these written
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: doubts in writing, the Department of Justice leadership said screw it,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: We're going to move forward anyway and obtained a warrant
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: from a federal magistrate judge. One senior FBI agent reportedly
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: said the effort to build probable cause was time consuming,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: quote unquote, and not productive without additional evidence. Grassly characterized
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the disclosures as a miscarriage of justice and claimed the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Biden DOJ push forward despite internal resistance based on the facts. Now,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: these internal emails were not previously public, and they contradict
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: pass these public assertions about the confidence levels before the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: raid on the former president's home. It's important to note
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that the FBI's public stance was that a judge found
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: probable cause even though they didn't believe it was there,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and authorize the warrant. That is something Democrats are pointing
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to right now to try to save themselves. Now, let
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: me also remind you about what happened during that raid
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: When there's no evidence. What do you have to do
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: when you're raiding someone to home if you want to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: go after them? And why did they raid? We all
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: know the reason why. The FBI raided the DOJ. They
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: were trying to make sure that Donald Trump never made
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it back to the White House. Let me remind you
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: what now, CIA director John Radcliffe had to say about
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this quite some time ago after the raid happened.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that famous photograph. What we have now learned
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and the government has had Jack Smith and his prosecutors
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: have had to admit that that was staged and those
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: topsy g classified sheets that all the public songs said,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, look at those top secret documents. Those
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: were placed there by the FBI. And what Jacksmith admitted
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: in court this week was that, in his word, they
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: mishandled the classified documents and misrepresented those to the court. WHEA.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: That's a kind way of saying, we tampered with the evidence.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Then we lied to the court about it. And they
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: got caught when President Trump's lawyers and the other co
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: defendants raised this issue and said, look, the documents here
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: don't match up. The documents that were presented to us
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: don't match the digitally scanned records of when they were
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: taken from mar A Lago. And Jack Smith not only
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: did they tamper with that and lie to the court
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: about it. But he's now admitted to the court that
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: he doesn't know how that happened. He's only offered a
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: number of possible explanations for how that could have happened.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So he's absolutely blown the chain of custody. And again
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: he has a prosecutor lead prosecutor in this case, Jay Bratt,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: who met with White House counsel and a representative of
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the National Archives in several times in the weeks before
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Jacksmith was even appointed. This reeks of crossfire hurricane when
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: the Biden when the Obama Biden administration fabricated evidence before
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: the pies of court, lied to the court about it
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to pursue Donald Trump, and now we're seeing it again
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: in this classified documents case.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So not only was this thing crooked from the beginning
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and fabricated out of thin air, we also now know
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that those men and women at the FBI and the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: DOJ that were on the ground said there is nothing there,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there's no probable cause. And so that's where the politics
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and the corruption of the Biden regime comes in. Let
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: me remind you of what the Attorney General Merrick Garland
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: had to say as he went on TV before the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: election of course, delivering his remarks on the search warn't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: executed at President Trump's Marlago resident and what did he say?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And again put this in perspective, it's now coming out
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the FBI warned the Biden administration that there was not
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: probable cause to raid mar Lago and they rated President
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Trump anyway. So who made that decision? Well, we know
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: exactly who it was. It was Merrick Garland. How do
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: we know it because he said it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First,
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: in this matter. Second, the department does not take such
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: a decision lately.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Which brings us back to the issue of accountability. If
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you look at the FBI doubting problem cause for Marlago raid,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: then push forward because the man in charge, Merrick Garland,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: says I'm telling you you're going to do it.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I'm personally authorizing it.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And then you have emails showing that this is a massive, massive,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: massive problem and they're telling you don't do it. Then
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: how is there not accountability? And let's just talk a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: little bit more about accountability. We're now getting reporting from
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Fox News Digital that they're saying the FBI not only
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: do they not believe they had probable cause to raid
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump, TOMRL and go home in twenty twenty two,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but they moved forward amid pressure directly from the Biden
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Justice Department, with an official saying he didn't give a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: damn quote unquote about the optics of the search. Now
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: this is all coming from these newly declassified documents. Fox
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: News Digital revealed emails between the FBI and the Justice
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Department officials in the months leading up to the August
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two raid of the president home, with FBI
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: officials expressing grave concerns about a lack of probable cause
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to execute the search warrant on then front runner President
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his residence in Palm Beach. Quote very
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: little has been developed related to who might be culpable
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: for mishandling the documents. And FBI official serving as an
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: assistant Special Agent in charge wrote to another FBI official
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: from the interviews the who has gathered information suggesting that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: there may be additional boxes, presumably of the same type
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: as we're sent back to nar in January at mar Lago,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: who has been drafting a search warrant affidavit related to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: these potential boxes, but has some concerns that the information
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is single source, has not been corroborated, and may be dated.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The official continues, again, this is all in writing. Doj csopines, however,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that the sws meet the problem cause standard. Then it
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: says this, even as we continue down the path towards
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a search warrant, WFO believes that a reasonable conversation with
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the former president attorney they're talking about Donald Trump, that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the FBI and the DOJ are reading a search warrant
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and have developed information that there are more documents in
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Marlago ought.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Not to be discounted.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: The official road, in other words, are saying, don't do this,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: don't go rate it. Talk to his lawyers. We can
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: probably make all this go away. Then it says in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this document this, at a minimum, even if the former
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: president's attorney is correct and the documents were all declassified
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: or believed to be disclassified, it can be reasonably argued
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that the documents remain sensitive and should be properly secured
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: until the matter of classification is sorted out. The official continued,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this conversation could easily be accomplished. At the same time,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: that the who presses forward with the investigation and continues
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: building out a search warrant. In other words, Hey, if
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you guys are over reacting, you don't want to go
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: raid mar Lago. There's not probable cause. I'm telling you
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that this call can be done through lawyers. This is
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a mistake. I'm telling you we don't have what we
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: need to go in raid mar Lago. And now we
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: understand going back to Radcliffe, why they were placing these
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: folders out in the floor and taking pictures.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: It was all a setup. We know that. Now, now
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: here's something else is interesting.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Weeks later, an FBI agent writes an email stating this quote,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: we haven't generated any new facts, but keep being given
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: draft after draft after draft. In other words, you're going
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: to raid this thing. I don't care what you found. Then,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the FBI agent writes this absent a witness coming forward
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: with recent information about classified documents on site, At what
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: point is it fair to table this question mark? The
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: agent rights it is time consuming for the team and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: not productive if there are no new facts supporting probable cause.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Another email revealed that the FBI's Washington Field office did
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: not believe, as has articulated to the DOJ and the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: CS that we have established probable cause for the search
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: warrant for classified records at mar Lago.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Then there's another line.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: This is what it says, quote the DOJ is a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: pie that they do not have probable cause, requesting a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: wide scope including residents, office storage space. Another agent wrote
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the FBI believe that a raid would be counterproductive their
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: words in writing, and suggested alternatives, less intrusive and likelier
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: quicker options for resolution to reclaim any potential classified records.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The process moved forward regardless of all of these concerns
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that were put in writing. There's even another email on
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: August fourth of twenty twenty two, revealed the plan for
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the execution of the warrant, saying this, the FBI intends
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: for the execution of the warrant to be handled in
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a professional, low key manner and to be mindful of
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the optics of the search. An agent rights The agent
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: quotes then Deputy Assistant Attorney General in a meeting saying, quote,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: since we heard mister Tosca say yesterday in the call
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that he quote frankly doesn't give a damn about the optics,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: And mister Brown has already built an antagonistic relationship with
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Trump attorneys. I think it is more than fair to
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: say that the DOJ contact with Trump attorneys just prior
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to the execution of the warrant will not go well.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: DOJ said as much yesterday. The agent writes, it also
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: thinks that it is fair to say that if FBI calls,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: having in mind officers safety to the optics of the search,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and the desire to conduct the search in a professional
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and low key manner, there is a far better chance
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that the execution will go more smoothly and we may
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: actually gain some measure of cooperation which could go some
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: way to resolving the mishandling of classified records and the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: investigation that is being conducted. The agent added, I understand
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: that this request may not go well at DOJ. However,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it is the FBI serving and executing the search, and
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it will be our personnel who have to deal with
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the reaction to that first contact. So what happened The
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: FBI rated mar Lago execute the search Horns is part
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: of the investigation into alleged improper retention of classified records
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that they, in writing said, there's no probable cause for
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: this and why do they do it? For one reason,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: because the Biden administration weaponized the government to try to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: take out their political opponent and put in jail the
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: sitting president now of the United States of America, a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: guy by the name of Donald Trump. President Donald Trump
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: delivered a primetime of address to the nation, and in
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the nationally televised address, the President presented a forward looking
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and optimistic message about the direction of the country and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the policies that his administration has pursued over the last
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: just eleven months. To put in perspective, he emphasized that
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in the last year it has been a period of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: meaningful progress and growing strength for the United States, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that the best is yet to come as the nation moves.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Into twenty twenty six.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Now you may ask yourself this question, why, Well, much
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: of what the President has enacted actually hasn't taken effect
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: yet it starts in twenty twenty six. No tax on tips,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: for example, no tax on overtime, and no tax on
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: social security for the majority of Americans will have a
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: massive impact for many Americans and how much money is
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: in their bank accounts. The President also talked about the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: incredible impact of stopping immigration into this country illegal immigration,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: and how it's now actually lowering home prices and rental prices,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: prices that are expected to come down even more in
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, which brings us to the key achievements
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and the policy highlights of economic growth. In investment, President
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Trump highlighted the significant economic progress, including what he described
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: as record level of investment that is flowing into the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: United States of America, which he has tied to job
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: creation growth, much of this coming from the leverage with tariffs.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: He framed the recent policies as driving lower prices and
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: stronger wages for American families. Trump referred to the current
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: economic trajectory as laying the ground for what he cast
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: as the greatest economy in history. He also did something
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that was truly incredible, a Christmas present that men and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: women in the military will never forget. As part of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: his holiday season message, he announced a one time seventeen
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: seventy six that's right, one thousand, seven hundred and seventy
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: six Warrior Dividend check to honor and support US service
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: members that have been under attack by the left for
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: many years. I wan listen to the President in his
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: own words on this incredible moment.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Along with the just past one Big Beautiful Bill.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: one thousand, four hundred fifty thousand, Think of this, one million,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: four hundred and fifty thousand military.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Service members will receive a.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Special we call Warrior dividend before Christmas. Warrior Dividend in
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: honor of our nations founding in seventeen seventy six, we
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: are sending every soldier one thousand, seven hundred and seventy
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: six dollars. Think of that, and the checks are already
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: on the way. Nobody understood that one until about thirty
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: minutes ago.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Not only was the President celebrating our men and women
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: in military, but he also said that you, as an American,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: have something to celebrate coming next spring. Next spring, he says,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: it's projected to be the largest tax refund season of
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Here's the President in his own words.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Next year, you will also see the results of the
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: largest tax cuts in American history that were really accomplished
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: through our great, big Beautiful Bill, perhaps the most sweeping
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: legislation ever passed in Congress. We wrapped twelve different bills
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: up into one beautiful bill. That includes goods, no tax
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: social Security for our great seniors. Under these cuts, many
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: families will be saving between eleven thousand and twenty thousand
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: dollars a year, and next spring is projected to be
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: the largest tax refund season of all time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Not only does the President know that you need more
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: money in your pocket and the Left has been taking
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: far too much of it and wasting it for far
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: too long, but he also talked about healthcare, which is
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: actually a very important point for many Americans. He promised
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: future reductions in drug prices and improvements and affordability for
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: healthcare as part of the upcoming year's agenda.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: I'm also taking on the gigantic health insurance companies that
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: have gotten rich on billions of dollars of money.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: That should go directly to the people.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: The money should go to the people, that's you, so
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: they can buy their own health insurance, which will give
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: far better benefits at much lower costs. It will be
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: far better health insurance. The current Unaffordable Care Act was
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: created to make insurance companies rich. It was bad health
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: care at much too higher cost. And you see that
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: now in the steep increase in premiums being demanded by
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: the Democrats, and they are demanding those increases, and.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: It's their fault.
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: It is not the Republican's fault. It's the Democrat's fault.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: It's the Unaffordable Care Act, and everybody knew it. Again.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: I want the money to go directly to the people,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: so you can buy your own health care. You'll get
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: much better health care at a much lower price. The
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: only losers will be insurance companies that have gotten rich
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: in the Democrat Party, which is totally controlled by those
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: same insurance companies. They will not be happy, But that's
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: okay with me, because you, the people, are finally going
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: to be getting great health care at a lower cost.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Not only will you be getting great health care to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: lower costs, the number one donor the Democrats in Congress
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: have literally been the healthcare industry. The President then moved
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: from that issue to another one, immigration and border security.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: President Trump townting enhanced border enforcement and immigration control as
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: part of his administration's accomplishments.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Our border was open, and because of this, our country
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: was being invaded by an army of twenty five million people,
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: many who came from prisons and jails, mental institutions and
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: insane asylums.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: They were drug dealers, gang members, and even.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: Eleven thousand, eight hundred and eighty eight murders, more than
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: fifty percent of whom killed more than one person. This
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: is what the Biden administration allowed to happen to our country,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: and it can never be allowed to happen again. We
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: had men playing in women's sports, transgender for everybody, crime
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: at record levels, with law enforcement and words such as
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: that just absolutely forbidden.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: We had the worst trade deals ever made.
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: And our country was laughed at from all over the world.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: But they're not laughing anymore.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Over the past eleven months, we have brought more positive
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: change to Washington than any administration in American history. There's
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: never been anything like it, and I think most would agree.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: I was elected in a landslide, winning the popular vote
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: and all seven swing states and everything else, with a
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: mandate to take on a sick and corrupt system that
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: XTRA really just took the wealth from people.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: And crushed the dreams of the American people. For the
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: last four years.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: The United States was ruled by politicians who fought only
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: for insiders, illegal aliens. Career criminals, corporate lobbyists, prisoners, terrorists,
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: and above all, foreign nations which took advantage of US
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: at levels never seen before. They flooded your cities and
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: towns with illegal aliens.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: They decimated your hard earned savings.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: They indoctrinated your children with hate for America. Released really,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: I mean, they just released a level of violent felons
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: that we had never seen to prey on innocent They
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: caused war, they caused mayhem, They caused a horrible situation
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: all over the globe. But now you have a president
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: who fights for the law abiding, hardworking people of our country,
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: the ones who make this nation run, who make this
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: nation work.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And not only did the President talk about immigration border security,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: he also talked about foreign policy and peace efforts. He
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: underscored diplomatic progress, including his administration's role in brokering stability
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: and regions of conflict and reducing global tensions. These diplomatic
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: themes fed into broader messaging about America's renewed international leadership
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and also what it means about security at home. Throughout
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the speech, the President framed the future with optimism, previewing
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: initiatives he intends to pursue in twenty twenty six, including
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: lower drug costs through the Trump RX program, broad tax
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: cuts aimed at benefiting working American families, expanded energy production
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to reduce costs for consumers, continued efforts to address housing
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: affordability and rent relief, and commitment to appointing a Federal
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Reserve chair who's focused on lower interest rates to support
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: economic expansion, which brings us to one thing that many
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Americans are going to love. The President also announcing some
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: of the most aggressive housing reforms so that more Americans
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: can get in the game, can own a house and
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: not have to wait till they're much older to be
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: first time home buyers.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: This in the new year, I will announce some of
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: the most aggressive housing reform plans in American history. A
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: major factor in driving up housing costs was the colossal
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: border invasion.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: We have never been invaded. This is the worst.
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: Thing that Frankly, in my opinion, the worst thing that
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: the Biden administration did to our country is the invasion
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: at the border. The last administration and their allies in
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: Congress brought in millions and millions of migrants and gave
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: them taxpayer funded housing, while your rent and housing costs chirocketed.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: So there it is the President United States of America
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: making it very clear that he believes that this next
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: year is actually going to be the best year in
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: our history when it comes to our economy. In this address,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: not only do spotlight our men and women in uniform,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: also making it clear we're going back to law and order.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: He wants a FED chair that will back lower interest rates.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: He wants to keep the focus on the economy. And
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: also he did not bring up Venezuela. Why because clearly
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that's not the focal point of the administration. He said,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we're bringing the economy back from ruin, and the economy
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: on prices is going to be ease for you. So
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: there is the president. He said, America, you're going to
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: feel relief in a bountiful twenty twenty six. And that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: is this President's Christmas present to every American. Don't forget
