| There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago when Congress passed the one big, beautiful bill to make America great again. | ||
|

|
Right? | |
| And in the last election, the people gave us a historic mandate to cut taxes, raise, take home, pay, bring back jobs, stop the invasion, that horrible invasion. | ||
| Who would do that? | ||
| Who would do that? | ||
| That horrible. | ||
| Who would do that to us? | ||
| Who would do that to us? | ||
| Deport the illegals and slash hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud, and that's what we're doing. | ||
| With this bill, every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept. | ||
| Just as I promised, we're making the Trump tax cuts permanent and delivering no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, right? | ||
| Front row Joe. | ||
| We got a lot of front row Joes here. | ||
| That's very nice. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And we have Mr. Wall. | ||
| Someday I'm buying that suit. | ||
| I'm telling you. | ||
| I like that suit. | ||
| I'll walk up one day. | ||
| I'll be dressed like a wall, just like you. | ||
| I think he's come to about 200 rallies, and that means you like us. | ||
| And I think he's a very successful guy, too, believe it or not. | ||
| He's a top accountant. | ||
| Can you believe this? | ||
| And he comes to rallies, he likes to rallies. | ||
| Front row Joes, they're all successful. | ||
| But this is what they do for entertainment. | ||
| But now it's not entertainment. | ||
| We've saved our country. | ||
| We've got the hottest country anywhere in the world, as said by many, many leaders of other countries. | ||
| And we will ignite trillions of dollars in economic growth, increase take-home pay for the typical family by more than $10,000 a year. | ||
| And very importantly for Iowa, this bill rescues over 2 million family farms from the so-called estate tax or the death tax. | ||
| In other words, before Trump, you were losing farms to the banks. | ||
| Before Trump, you were losing the farms like nobody's ever seen before. | ||
| You love your children. | ||
| You don't feel so well. | ||
| You pass away. | ||
| You leave everything to your children. | ||
| And they have to pay a big estate tax or a death tax, as we call it. | ||
| And they couldn't do it. | ||
| They go out and borrow money, and all of a sudden, the bank is foreclosing on the farm. | ||
| Not going to happen. | ||
| You have no more estate tax. | ||
| You have no more death tax to pay. | ||
| Very simply, the one big, beautiful bill will deliver the strongest border on earth, the strongest economy on earth, the strongest military on earth, and ensure the United States of America will remain the strongest country anywhere on this beautiful planet of ours. | ||
| 165 days into the Trump administration, America is on a winning streak like, frankly, nobody's ever seen before in the history of the presidency. | ||
| It is Friday, the 4th of July, in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| We are live on Real America's Voice. | ||
| You're in the war room. | ||
| We've got David Zeer on the south lawn of the White House awaiting the President of the United States to come out and have the signing of the big, beautiful bill. | ||
| And we have our own Jack Pasobic from Human Events Daily is out with the crowd with the Warren Posse. | ||
| Jack, put us in the room outside the gate right there. | ||
| A lot of folks are showing up, even some protesters. | ||
|

|
What's going on? | |
| Well, Steve, I got to tell you, I'm surrounded by thousands of patriots down here just outside the White House. | ||
| They were just chanting a minute ago, USA, USA. | ||
| Yeah, there's a smattering of the no-kings, a couple of boomers, a couple of vagrants out front. | ||
| But honestly, you can't even really see them, Steve, because there's so many patriots out here. | ||
| And I got to tell you, this crowd, it's a good-looking crowd. | ||
| It's a handsome crowd. | ||
| The ladies are beautiful. | ||
| Everybody is super smart. | ||
| Everybody's successful. | ||
| Everybody's well put together. | ||
| And we are ready for President Trump to deliver to us, to the United States of America, the greatest birthday gift she's received since 1776, the big, beautiful law. | ||
| Jack, that shot right there, correct me if I'm wrong, you've got the big, beautiful flag right there. | ||
| That is a, the whole White House looks set up quite different with the addition, sir. | ||
| I mean, Steve, this is one of those things when you look at the flag there and give it a second for the wind to start up again, but it's one of those flags where you just wonder, why wasn't it always there? | ||
| Why hadn't any other president thought to put a giant flag there? | ||
| And of course, President Trump putting it up on his own dime, not costing an entire cent, a single cent to the taxpayers. | ||
| It's a beautiful flag. | ||
| You know, I used to have a family member who owned a Corvette dealership, and he had giant flags like this. | ||
| And I said, why'd you make the flag so big? | ||
| And he said, that's not a big flag. | ||
| That's an appropriately sized flag. | ||
| So, Steve, that's what I'm sticking with. | ||
| That's not a big flag. | ||
| That's an appropriately sized American flag. | ||
| Just for history, normally when we do these big events, we do them live from the Willardness. | ||
| This was just put together from the White House the other day. | ||
| We're handling it from here, and we've got David Zeer on the grounds. | ||
| Jack, what's up, I got Jack? | ||
| You are standing. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| You're standing basically for history's sake, right at the ellipse, right? | ||
| You're very near where the stage was when President Trump gave that historic speech on January 6th. | ||
| Am I correct in that? | ||
| Well, Steve, we're not far from the ellipse. | ||
| It would be on the other side from where I'm at. | ||
| I'm in Lafayette Square Park right now. | ||
| But I mean, it's a stone's throw away from where I'm standing right now is the ellipse within walking distance. | ||
| And I was there that day on January 6th as well. | ||
| And now I'm here on the 4th of July, the day that they thought that they could throw President Trump. | ||
| They could use that day to throw him out of office, to throw the MAGA movement out of the annals of history, reduce us to nothing more than a footnote of the populist nationalist patriots. | ||
| You hear them again, by the way. | ||
| They're chanting USA again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
USA. | |
| Why not USA? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why USA? | |
| Mike. | ||
| USA. | ||
| America, people. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I don't know who I'm talking to. | ||
| Where are you from? | ||
| Where are you from? | ||
|
unidentified
|
New Jersey. | |
| We're From New Jersey. | ||
| We love New Jersey. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wait, wait, wait. | |
| Do you have a message for President Trump? | ||
| Be careful. | ||
| Good job on the B2 strike. | ||
| We love it. | ||
| How are you, sir? | ||
| Steve, I guess we're doing crowd work. | ||
| How are you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do it, do it. | |
| We're just from India. | ||
| From India. | ||
| The most good democracy of the world. | ||
| Niamodi. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Niyamodi. | |
| But Modi is also, you know, when Trump both should work for the common people. | ||
| Well, it's about putting your people first and putting your country first. | ||
| And we're going to need India against the Chinese Communist Party, aren't we? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We want that our country should first and our people should consider happiness of our people. | |
| That's what it's all about. | ||
| Thank you very much, sir. | ||
| Happy 4th of July. | ||
| Well, there you go, Steve. | ||
| We got Jack, what's a mess? | ||
| This posse's rowdy. | ||
| They're taking over the mic. | ||
| No, no, Jack, what I like about that is that the park right there is normally where the protesters are right outside that part of the gate. | ||
| To know that there's so many USA chants and little kids walking by, I think that shows a sea change, does it not, sir? | ||
| Yeah, I've never seen it like this, actually. | ||
| In the first term, when you would come out to Lafayette Square Park, I mean, this would be all protesters. | ||
| This would be all Antifa. | ||
| You know, we would come down here for various rallies. | ||
| Myself, Mike Cernovich was there back in those days. | ||
| Tanya Tay would come in. | ||
| We weren't even married back then. | ||
| We didn't have kids, but this would be all protesters, all Antifa. | ||
| Antifa would be scaling these statues and going all the way up to the fence right there. | ||
| I remember we actually held a rally once a long time ago for a guy named Steve Bannon at one point. | ||
| But now this is all Patriots. | ||
| I'm seeing MAGA hats. | ||
| Look, MAGA hat, MAGA hat, MAGA hat. | ||
| USA, USA, USA flag. | ||
| Kids are just coming up. | ||
| And they're from all over the country, Steve, because I think chump being back also is a sign that Washington, D.C. isn't just for the elites. | ||
| It's not just the imperial capital anymore. | ||
| It's the nation's capital. | ||
| And the American people are the people who constitute this nation. | ||
| So you've got Taurus. | ||
| Uh-oh, we even got a little gate crasher over here. | ||
| We got Kevin Fasobic and leaving little AJ up there. | ||
| Hey, AJ, I don't know if they can see you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
AJ, you ready to say happy 4th of July, AJ? | |
| Happy Fourth of July. | ||
| Are you ready to see President Donald J. Trump and the planes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| There you go. | ||
| Little AJ, Uncle Kevin, and Otto the Bulldog from Prager Kids. | ||
| Kevin, yeah. | ||
| Hey, I love the kid from New Jersey. | ||
| What do you like for President Trump, the B-2 strike? | ||
| Jersey kid gets right to the heavy payload, right? | ||
| He's going to love it. | ||
| He gets right to that point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Jack, I'm going to go to zero in a minute. | |
| Talk to me about the flyover. | ||
| Are we going to have, I know we got F-22s, I think F-35s, are we going to have B-2s also? | ||
| That's the plan. | ||
| And President Trump has said that, that he wants to time it right around when the signing of the bill takes place, that the flyover will, and I can only imagine it'll be with the same military precision as that strike took place all the way on the other side of the planet. | ||
| So certainly, if they can put all of those bunker buster bombs on the size of a postage stamp, they're certainly going to be able to time this with exact crack military precision. | ||
| And that's Secretary of Defense Hagsteth putting it out. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| We'll see. | ||
| But of course, as we know with the president, the president is never late. | ||
| President is never late. | ||
| Jack, hang right there. | ||
| We're going to come right back to you. | ||
| Let's go to David Zier. | ||
| David's on the south lawn inside the gates by the riser. | ||
| David, put us on the lawn there. | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| I think we've got a podium on the upper deck of the portico, and it looks like a desk down there to sign. | ||
| Walk me through what we know of the ceremony so far. | ||
| We're awaiting Donald Trump to come out to the Blue Room balcony and the portico in the second level here. | ||
| There's a podium set up for him to set off the ceremonies for the 249th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence here. | ||
| And the south portico here in front of that, going out to the south lawn is a desk where the bill signing is going to take place here. | ||
| But this scene is really majestic. | ||
| We have about a thousand people here on the lawn so far. | ||
| U.S. Marine Corps band playing in the background. | ||
| A lot of families of military and military members here. | ||
| But when you look down the south lawn facing south and you look over the ellipse and you see the Washington Monument in the background and then you go across the tidal basin over to the approach which is like an elevated approach to the Jefferson Memorial. | ||
| I mean this is stunning. | ||
| You cannot ask for a nicer day ever in Washington DC. | ||
| The humidity is low, the crowd is excited. | ||
| But you know the White House picnics started I think in about 1947 with Harry S. Truman. | ||
| But the 4th of July celebrations go way back to 1801. | ||
| Thomas Jefferson meeting with Cherokee chiefs here, U.S. citizens, military personnel invited to the White House. | ||
| So this is a long tradition and in what may be the most successful two weeks of either term of Donald J. Trump since the Iran bombing and into the passage of this bill and all the peace that appears to have broken out around the world here with stock market highs to boot. | ||
| And the big, beautiful bill will be signed here in a little while, hopefully sparking a reignition for what Monica Crowley said yesterday, Ambassador Crowley. | ||
| This is the third time Trump has to kickstart the economy. | ||
| No, I tell you what's I tell you, let's go ahead and when we get ready, we're about a minute or two away from our break. | ||
| We'll take a break unless the president comes out, hearing Real America's voice. | ||
| You're in the war room. | ||
| We normally don't do an afternoon show on the 4th of July, but as David Zere just said, this is historic. | ||
| President Trump is about to sign, I think, one of the most important pieces of legislation to ever pass the House and Senate, the big, beautiful bill. | ||
| It has trillion dollars of tax cuts. | ||
| It has incentives for business. | ||
| Of course, one of the central parts, $170 billion to make sure that we start, commence, set up the logistics chain for the mass deportation of, I don't know, we say $10 million during Biden's. | ||
| President Trump's at 20. | ||
| I think I'm going to take his number. | ||
| He's probably got better intel than that. | ||
| David Zeer is with us. | ||
| Now, Real America's Voice, I really want to compliment the coverage has been so extraordinary. | ||
| Yesterday we produced the entire show in Iowa. | ||
| It was extraordinary. | ||
| We had coverage all around. | ||
| Now we have David Zier is on the south lawn of the White House. | ||
| We were waiting the president of the United States. | ||
| He just said he's going to come out of the blue room to looks like a podium up there, probably to address the crowd. | ||
| And then the signing looks like it's going to take place down. | ||
| There's a desk and a signing that'll be more at ground level. | ||
| We got David Zier on the south lawn. | ||
| Jack Petsovic is out with the MAGA posse, the Warren Posse, right outside in Lafayette Square, the great statue of General Jackson right there. | ||
| And it looks like a Jacksonian crowd has come today to Washington, D.C. to take the Capitol back. | ||
| MAGA's out resplendent in patriotic garb. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| If the president comes out, we're going to cut the commercial break and come right back to it. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Johnny Connell take us out with American Heart. | ||
| We've got the Marine Corps band on the South Long. | ||
| We'll come back and hear some news from them. | ||
| David Zeer, Jack Pesovic, Stephen K. Bannon, you're in the war room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
back in a moment. | |
| Come on. | ||
| Wow, that's the sound of freedom right there. | ||
| Jack Pisobic. | ||
| We just got you strafed. | ||
|
unidentified
|
was it? | |
| Is Jack Pesobic got Jack? | ||
| Maybe he got knocked down. | ||
| Maybe his internet connection got knocked down. | ||
| I can understand that. | ||
| Okay, let's go to David. | ||
| Let's go to David. | ||
| Is David Zer? | ||
| Let's go to Zir. | ||
| Oh, here we go. | ||
| Go live. | ||
| Just going to go. | ||
| Okay, we're starting right now, folks. | ||
| I'm going to cut to it. | ||

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States and First Lady Melania Trump. | |
| We love you! | ||
| *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* *crowd cheers* | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, Master Gunnery Sergeant Kevin Benier, accompanied by the President's own United States Marine Band, will now honor America with the singing of our national anthem, followed by a flyover consisting of a B-2 Spirit Bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base, escorted by two F-35 fighters in honor of all our military personnel who participated in Operation Midnight Hammer and who are currently serving both home and abroad, protecting our nation's freedom. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And the rockets reckon the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. | ||
| Oh, state of that star spangled and yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. | ||
| wave. | ||
| *applauds* *applauds* *applauds* *applauds* *applauds* Wait. | ||
| Wait. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Looks like the president there, as what President Trump has wanted to do is directing all the traffic. | ||
| It looks like he's taking charge of the program. | ||
| We've already had a flyer with a national anthem. | ||
| I think we're going to get a few words from the president, maybe a benediction. | ||
| That's President Trump at the First Lady of Melania. | ||
| President Trump outside the Blue Room. | ||
| That's the second floor portico on the south lawn of the White House. | ||
| We're live. | ||
| This is Real America's Voice at the War Room. | ||
| We're live today for the historic signing of the Big Beautiful Bill, quite historical, the most major piece of legislation ever passed. | ||
| The centerpiece of is the deportation of illegal alien invaders. | ||
| Here goes President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ladies and gentlemen, right now. | |
| President of the United States and First Lady Melania Trump. | ||
| Well, thank you very much. | ||
| And that is some sight, especially after what happened just a week ago when you look at that big, beautiful plane. | ||
| And the other ones were something. | ||
| It was an incredible mission. | ||
| And I think I can say very proudly, and I don't have to quote the polls, that our country is more proud right now than it's been in many, many years. | ||
| We have pride. | ||
| We have dignity. | ||
| We have something that's happened miraculously so fast. | ||
| You know that our military now is the most sought-after job there has ever been serving in our military. | ||
| One year ago, people didn't want to join our military. | ||
| They didn't want to join our police, our firefighters. | ||
| They didn't want to join anything having to do with our country. | ||
| And now, as you probably know, the enlistment is at an all-time record. | ||
| We're packed. | ||
| We're full. | ||
| And I just think that's so important because that was so sad one year ago when I heard those statistics. | ||
| We had a different president, but nobody wanted to join. | ||
| And now we're at a record. | ||
| And I will say that I just left NATO, where we had a tremendous experience. | ||
| They've agreed to put up over a trillion dollars a year. | ||
| They went from less than 2% to 5%, and nobody thought that was possible. | ||
| And they told me very strongly, the leaders of a big part of the world, respected people all, they told me that, you know, one year ago your country was dead. | ||
| And now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. | ||
| So that's the way it is, and that's the way we like it. | ||
| And it's only going to get hotter. | ||
| I promise you that. | ||
| After that spectacular display of American power, let me just say that God bless the United States military and God bless the USA. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless the USA. | |
| And to all Americans, I want to wish you a very happy Independence Day, happy 4th of July. | ||
| This is going to be something special. | ||
| This spirit in this country, we haven't seen anything like it in many, many years and decades. | ||
| Let me also express our gratitude to our magnificent First Ladies who worked very hard to make this all work. | ||
| And we have a fireworks display about 9 o'clock tonight. | ||
| I hope you're all going to be around and watch it. | ||
| I know our congressmen and our senators who are standing right here, so many of them, they did such a great job. | ||
| They're going to be here. | ||
| I guarantee you. | ||
| They're not leaving. | ||
| They're not leaving. | ||
| Thanks as well to the National Park Service, the USO, and countless friends and distinguished guests. | ||
| We have so many people in the audience that have so much to do with the success of our country. | ||
| We've, I think, had probably the most successful almost six months as a president and the presidency. | ||
| I think they're saying it was the best six months. | ||
| And I know for a fact they're saying the last two weeks there has never been anything like it as far as winning, winning, winning. | ||
| So as you know, two weeks ago, our incredible Air Force pilots conducted one of the most successful military strikes in all of history, Operation Midnight Hammer, and that's exactly what it was. | ||
| It was a hammer. | ||
| This evening, we're honored to be joined by 150 airmen and their families from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, home of the B-2 bomber. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And we've kept them a little bit on guard. | ||
| We kept them a little bit, let's be a little bit quiet about it. | ||
| But if you want to raise your hand very quickly, raise your hand because you people are just incredible. | ||
| They don't want to be in disguise. | ||
| You know, they say, we don't have to do that. | ||
| They're looking at us like we're a bunch of babies. | ||
| We don't have to be in disguise. | ||
| We saw all those hands go up. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| We owe you everything. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| Incredible. | ||
| Just flawless. | ||
| One of the most flawless military campaigns in the history of our country. | ||
| If you remember years ago, they had helicopters crashing into each other. | ||
| It was a disaster, the hostages in Iran. | ||
| And we had just the opposite. | ||
| We didn't have any crashes. | ||
| We didn't lose any planes. | ||
| We didn't lose anybody. | ||
| Those beautiful planes that you saw were totally stealth. | ||
| They flew right over the center of a very hostile country, and they never even saw it coming. | ||
| And then they said, skedaddle. | ||
| They dropped the bombs. | ||
| They said, skedaddle. | ||
| And that big sucker turned over like this on its side And it got out of there. | ||
| Well, I'll tell you what, how they do that, but they can do it. | ||
| I asked our great general, Kane, how do they do that? | ||
| Do they really love doing that? | ||
| Look at them. | ||
| They're all laughing. | ||
| And they said, Do they really like doing it, sir? | ||
| They can't wait. | ||
| Better you than me. | ||
| That's all I can say. | ||
| It was a flawless mission. | ||
| Every single bomb hit, and it was total obliteration, total obliteration. | ||
| Now, even the fake news is admitting that. | ||
| They hated to admit it, but they had no choice. | ||
| That was an incredible thing. | ||
| And these heroic pilots showed our enemies what it means to fly, fight, and win to every service member who supported that mission. | ||
| And we have many of them here. | ||
| We've made you very, really, we've made you proud by supporting, but you've made us even prouder by having the courage to get in those gorgeous machines and fly through the roughest airspace anywhere in the world. | ||
| And we salute you and we honor you. | ||
| Thank you very much for being here. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And we're also honored and delighted to be joined by hundreds of service members and military families. | ||
| Those families are the best we have from all across the U.S. Armed Forces, Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force. | ||
| I love the Space Force. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because we're the ones that did it. | ||
| It turned out to be a very invaluable force, actually. | ||
| The Coast Guard and the Marines are incredible people. | ||
| On behalf of our entire nation, this 4th of July, we thank you for keeping America safe, strong, sovereign, and free. | ||
| Thank you very much for being here. | ||
| Great honor. | ||
| And stick around for the fireworks. | ||
| And our country's had so much to celebrate as Independence Day. | ||
| As we enter our 249th year, America's winning, winning, winning like never before. | ||
| We're not, I'll tell you, we're in a category now that's where we've wanted to be for a long time. | ||
| We suffered with four horrible years of embarrassment. | ||
| Afghanistan may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country. | ||
| We're never going to let a thing like that happen again. | ||
| Trillions of dollars are pouring into the United States for investment purposes. | ||
| Almost $15 trillion. | ||
| There's never been anything like it. | ||
| There's never been anything even close. | ||
| The stock market's at an all-time high. | ||
| Jobs are at an all-time high. | ||
| Everything's at an all-time high. | ||
| And we're going to keep it that way. | ||
| We have the greatest country in the world, and we're back. | ||
| We're back like nobody thought possible this quickly. | ||
| I thought it would take maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe even three. | ||
| And we did it in less than six months. | ||
| We are back and strong. | ||
| We've restored American strength and deterrence on the world stage. | ||
| We're respected again. | ||
| The world is respecting us again. | ||
| When we did NATO, those leaders came up to me and they said, you know what, we're going to go to a new level of spending because you're requesting it, sir. | ||
| They didn't talk to you last president like that, I can tell you. | ||
| They didn't spend any money. | ||
| They didn't spend anything. | ||
| In a few moments, we're going to make official the greatest victory yet when I signed the one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| And before I start, I want to tell you that I've never seen people so happy in our country because of that, because so many different groups of people are being taken care of, the military and civilians of all types, jobs of all types. | ||
| We're adding things like the biggest tax cut in the history of our country, child tax credits. | ||
| So many things are being added that we wouldn't even have time to discuss them. | ||
| When we were doing it, John Thune and Mike Johnson right there, I see Mike, what a job they've done. | ||
| What a job they've done. | ||
| But you know, it was supposed to be in three, four, five, six, or seven different bills. | ||
| And I was in one of the fake news shows and I said, let's do it in one beautiful, big, one beautiful. | ||
| We want one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| I said that to this newscaster, and I think a lot of the congressmen and senators were watching, and they said, let's name the bill that, the one big, beautiful bill. | ||
| And that's what we did. | ||
| And what we've done is put everything into one bill. | ||
| It's never happened before. | ||
| It's the biggest bill of its type in history. | ||
| We've never had anything like that before. | ||
| Nothing like that they thought would be possible to get passed. | ||
| And actually, I liked it because we had so much in there that no matter who you are, there was something in that bill that would make your congressman or your senator or your congresswoman, much more importantly, raise their hand and support, right, Lisa? | ||
| So that was something, and it was really something special. | ||
| So the American people gave us a historic mandate in November. | ||
| We won everything. | ||
| We won the swing states, all seven swing states. | ||
| We won everyone. | ||
| That rarely happens. | ||
| We won the popular vote. | ||
| We won the districts 2,750 to 505. | ||
| That's why when you look at a map, it's all red, a little blue on each end, but it's all red. | ||
| And by the way, red means Republican, just in case. | ||
| But we made promises, and it's really promises made, promises kept, and we've kept them. | ||
| This is a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy. | ||
| And I have to say that the people are happy. | ||
| They're happy. | ||
| And I listened to a broadcast, and I read a couple of articles. | ||
| They have the Democrats, they should have voted for it. | ||
| They didn't vote for tax cuts. | ||
| They didn't vote for taking care of people. | ||
| They didn't vote not one vote. | ||
| And we knew that because their hatred of either the country or me or both is so great. | ||
| They didn't vote at all. | ||
| And it's terrible. | ||
| But I just have to say, they have a routine. | ||
| It's terrible, they say. | ||
| Terrible, terrible. | ||
| You saw that guy standing up for hours yesterday. | ||
| He didn't know what he was even doing there. | ||
| I say, when is he sitting down? | ||
| He had a towel. | ||
| He's wiping his face. | ||
| That's not too elegant. | ||
| But what is he? | ||
| I said, what is he doing for so long? | ||
| And he couldn't criticize the bill. | ||
| He was criticizing everyone else and everything else. | ||
| So they've developed, and this is according to the news media, they've developed a standard line, and we can't let them get away with it. | ||
| Oh, it's dangerous. | ||
| Oh, everybody's going to die. | ||
| It's actually just the opposite. | ||
| Everybody's going to live. | ||
| This is just the opposite. | ||
| And I just want you to know if you see anything negative put out by Democrats, it's all a conjob. | ||
| And they said, and they compared it to, just like the kanjab of Russia, Russia, Russia, and all of the other things they did. | ||
| The 51 intelligence agents said, and the laptop from hell, it came from Russia, they said. | ||
| No, it didn't come. | ||
| A lot of things come from Russia. | ||
| That didn't come from Russia. | ||
| And it was all proven out to be a fake job, and that's what they're doing with this. | ||
| So we just have to look forward, fellas. | ||
| Look forward and just say what it is, because it's the most popular bill ever signed in the history of our country, whether you're military or anybody else. | ||
| This is the most single, most popular bill ever signed. | ||
| And it includes the largest tax cut in American history, the largest spending cut, $1.7 trillion. | ||
| And yet you won't even notice. | ||
| It just wastes fraud and abuse in American history. | ||
| So you have the biggest tax cut, the biggest spending cut, the largest border security investment in American history. | ||
| We want to have strong borders. | ||
| And the only thing is we want to have great elections, too. | ||
| You need strong borders and elections. | ||
| And my people have promised me that we're going to go into elections. | ||
| And we're going to make sure they're not rigged, that they're not sullied. | ||
| We're going to make sure that the elections are going to be fair. | ||
| You need two things. | ||
| You need strong borders and you need fair elections. | ||
| And we're going to make sure on the elections also. | ||
| And our armed forces are one of the most vital military modernizations of all time. | ||
| It will take place. | ||
| So we rebuilt our military on our first term, and now we're going to modernize and remodernize our military, including building a great golden dome all over our land so that if they get nasty with us, it's going to be knocked down. | ||
| It's going to make any of the golden domes, they call them the iron domes, we're calling ours the golden dome, because we did the iron domes, and we do sort of everything, if you want to know the truth, but this blows it away. | ||
| We're going to keep you safe. | ||
| I want to thank every member of the House and Senate who worked to get this bill on my desk, and many of them are here, and I'm not going to mention all their names because we'll be standing here, but I have to mention a few. | ||
| And especially I want to thank Vice President J.D. Vance, who's been fantastic. | ||
| Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who's been incredible. | ||
| We have somebody that is, he just, it was a passion. | ||
| I think he actually loved it. | ||
| It wasn't easy, but he loved it. | ||
| Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who's right here. | ||
| Speaker, thank you very much. | ||
| What a job. | ||
| And he worked so closely with the Senate Majority Leader, John Thune, who's a fantastic guy. | ||
| And those two were a team that is not going to be beat. | ||
| When you look at them and you look at their counterparts on the other side, it's not even close. | ||
| I want to thank both of you people for doing an incredible job. | ||
| Thank you very much, John and Mike. | ||
| House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a brave man. | ||
| Steve, you know, he suffered a tragedy a number of years ago. | ||
| I was at his hospital bedside that night with Melania, with our first lady, and he had no chance. | ||
| The doctor said he has very little chance, and you look better today than you did then. | ||
| You didn't look particularly good that night, I will say. | ||
| But I learned one thing. | ||
| His beautiful wife loved him. | ||
| She was a disaster. | ||
| I told him, I said, Steve, I can only tell you one thing. | ||
| I was with your family, and I was with your wife, and your wife was devastated. | ||
| She loves you. | ||
| I've seen a lot of wives that, you know, they don't seem to be so concerned in those situations. | ||
| That's the kind of wife you don't want. | ||
| But you have a great, beautiful wife who was really there, and you really have done, you're a very brave guy, and Mike and John and everybody that's standing with you knows it. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I really appreciate it. | ||
| House Majority Whip, this is a guy who's great. | ||
| When I have a problem, I call him up and he gets it done. | ||
| He's a tough cookie. | ||
| I don't know why he's not the governor of Minnesota. | ||
| He comes from Minnesota. | ||
| He's like, look, he goes, no, no, I don't want to run for governor. | ||
| You know, come to think of it, I think that's a good idea. | ||
| You would win so easily. | ||
| The guy is terrible. | ||
| You would win. | ||
| You just have to take a look at that handsome face of yours and you'd win. | ||
| Tom Emmer, everybody. | ||
| He did a great job. | ||
| I think you should consider that, although we don't want to lose him, do we? | ||
| We don't want to lose. | ||
| Say we are. | ||
| I think say we are. | ||
| What a job you did. | ||
| And Senate Majority Whip John Barroso, who's incredible. | ||
| Senate Finance Chairman, Mike Crapo. | ||
| Thank you, Mike. | ||
| What a job. | ||
| What a job. | ||
| He knows that tax stuff. | ||
| Him and Jason, they really know their stuff. | ||
| Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham. | ||
| What a good man he is. | ||
| I see a poll. | ||
| He's running, and I see a poll. | ||
| He's 24 points up. | ||
| That's not bad, Lindsey. | ||
| That's not bad. | ||
| 24 points up in the great state of South Carolina. | ||
| House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith. | ||
| What a job. | ||
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| These people are great. | ||
| These are great patriots. | ||
| I have to call them out. | ||
| House Budget Committee Chairman Jody Arrington. | ||
| Jody, thank you very much. | ||
| Jody has been good right from the beginning. | ||
| And so many others. | ||
| And they're all here, and they fully understand. | ||
| Probably they'll never speak to me again, but that's okay. | ||
| It is what it is. | ||
| But I just want to thank everybody. | ||
| A lot of senators here, a lot of congressmen and women here. | ||
| Lisa, thank you very much, by the way. | ||
| I have to thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| You've been fantastic. | ||
| So this bill will fuel massive economic growth and lift up the hardworking citizens who make this country run. | ||
| The factory workers, farmers, mechanics, waiters, waitresses, police officers, firefighters, coal miners. | ||
| Coal is back. | ||
| Beautiful. | ||
| I said you can't use the word coal unless you proceed it by saying clean, beautiful coal. | ||
| You know, China is right now building 68 coal generating plants, and we're putting up wind, wind. | ||
| It doesn't work, I will tell you. | ||
| Aside from ruining our fields and our valleys and killing all the birds and being very weak and very expensive, all made in China. | ||
| You know, I noticed something that with all of the windmills that China sends us, where we waste our money because it's the most expensive energy, I see that, you know, they make about 95% of them, the wind turbines. | ||
| I have never seen a wind farm in China. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
| Somebody check that out. | ||
| Tom Emmer, would you please check that out? | ||
| But all the coal miners we love and the truck drivers in this act, we have officially made the Trump tax cuts permanent. | ||
| That's the largest tax cut in the history of our country, added to substantial other cuts, which is going to, you're going to see like a rocket ship. | ||
| You know, we're setting all sorts of economic records right now, and that's before this kicks in. | ||
| After this kicks in, our country is going to be a rocket ship economically, and we've delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. | ||
| And that's why when you hear things like that, this is the most pop, it's the biggest bill of its kind ever done by far, but we are going to have a situation. | ||
| We are going to have something where people are going to realize the level of success and popularity of this bill. | ||
| And sort of to close it out, it makes the child tax credit permanent for 40 million American families. | ||
| And to increase the car affordability, it makes interest on a new car payment. | ||
| So this had never happened before. | ||
| You buy a car, you borrow money. | ||
| You're allowed to deduct for income tax purposes your payment of interest. | ||
| You're allowed to deduct it. | ||
| It's never happened before. | ||
| So run out and buy a car. | ||
| But I have to tell you, it's only good, Mike, if it's made in America. | ||
| If it's made in another country, you don't get it. | ||
| And to protect 2 million family farms and other small businesses, we're eliminating the estate tax or the death tax. | ||
| So if you want to leave, if you want to leave your farm or your small business, but the farms are really, they have been devastated to your children. | ||
| If you love your children, by the way, if you don't love your children, don't even listen to what I'm saying. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| But if you love, would you live? | ||
| Yes, I think you love your child. | ||
| This one loves Sparrow. | ||
| So I don't know if we're a small business. | ||
| I think we're not. | ||
| I'm not sure that we qualify. | ||
| I'm sorry, darling. | ||
| But you know, it was devastating. | ||
| Farmers, they had to go out and borrow money. | ||
| And by the way, is that Pam Bondi? | ||
| Pam Bondi, raise your hand. | ||
| Thank you, Pam, for being here. | ||
| Attorney General, she's done an incredible job. | ||
| So there won't be any, think of this, there won't be any death tax. | ||
| You're not going to have to go borrow money. | ||
| Your parents pass away and the farm goes into the bank's hands and gets foreclosed. | ||
| That's not going to happen. | ||
| And with 100% expensing for new investments, we're cutting taxes for every manufacturer who builds, expands. | ||
| And we have expansion at the highest level that we've ever had. | ||
| We have hundreds of factories, including car plants and AI. | ||
| It's coming into our country at levels that we've never seen. | ||
| And to conclude, not only will we have the strongest economy on earth, we're also going to have the strongest borders on earth. | ||
| And last month, did you see the number? | ||
| Zero people crossed our border. | ||
| Zero illegal people. | ||
| And that's after Joe Biden let 21 million people, many of them people from gangs and prisons and drug lords and people that were mentally unbalanced. | ||
| They let them into our country. | ||
| We're getting them out at record numbers and we have an obligation to and we're doing it. | ||
| So as we approach the 250th anniversary of America's founding exactly one year from now, we are creating an economy that delivers wealth for the middle class, a border that is sovereign and secure, and a military that is unmatched, unequaled anywhere in the world. | ||
| And you saw that. | ||
| And what a beautiful sight that was, especially after watching what they did just a short while ago. | ||
| The golden age of America is upon us. | ||
| We are in the golden age. | ||
| It's going to be a period of time the likes of which I don't think this country has ever experienced before. | ||
| We're going to make America great again, and it's happening very fast. | ||
| We love you. | ||
| We thank you for being here. | ||
| Enjoy the fireworks tonight. | ||
| And First Lady, I want to thank you. | ||
| You have been unbelievable. | ||
| It's very, you think it's easy being First Lady? | ||
| It's not. | ||
| Thank you all very much. | ||
| Happy 4th of July. | ||
| God bless you all. | ||
| Thank you very much, everybody. | ||
| We're going to sign the bill. | ||

Thank you. | |
| It's a very historic last couple of weeks. | ||
| President Trump trying to bring, let's just keep the shot right there. | ||
| President Trump, there's all the politicians up there from the House and the Senate, the folks who really worked for the last, what, 10 days, non-stop, two weeks non-stop, as the President of the United States also, as Commander-in-Chief, called for this, I think, the most complicated military exercise since. | ||
|
unidentified
|
there's some pictures being taken. | |
| Scott, how's the economy? | ||
| Hi, Scott. | ||
| Secretary-Treasurer Bessett. | ||
| It's been amazing. | ||
| Thank you very much, everybody. | ||
| Have a good time. | ||

Thank you, sir. | |
| History in the making right there, folks. | ||
| Of course, a crowd favorite, Lindsey Graham. | ||
| Take that rumble chat. | ||

This press, this press. | |
| No, this press. | ||
| Okay, thumbs up. | ||
| Okay, thumbs up. | ||
| There we go, right there. | ||

| Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson. | ||
| Secretary of the Interior, Governor Doug Burgum. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| The Marine band playing God Bless America doesn't get more Americana than this, does it? | ||
| Folks, this is what we voted for. | ||
| A massive legislative package completed within six months. | ||
| A military evolution that I think will put to bed the disaster and debacle of Afghanistan retreat. | ||
| Also, the failed hostage rescue attempt in 1979. | ||
| The Persians know they're dealing with a quite different United States with President Trump as commander-in-chief. | ||

President Trump right now mingling with the crowd. | |
| Actually, with the politicians, not with the crowd, the politicians. | ||
| And cabinet members and members of his administration. | ||
| There's going to be a picnic on the South Lawn. | ||
| There will be fireworks tonight. | ||
| Real America's Voice are going to cover it all. | ||
| We've got our own David Zear. | ||
| We've got Jack Posobiec. | ||

We've got Jack Posobiec. | |
| This is President Trump with his favorite MAGA hat. | ||
| The First Lady. | ||

If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd work for all my life. | |
| And I have to say... | ||
| Here's the Marine Band. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Looks like it's exiting, or at least part of it. | |
| President Trump's in the crowd now over there to the. | ||
| President Trump is, as he always does, taking selfies, signing autographs, signing ball caps. | ||
| That's President Trump. | ||
| You can't keep in the Secret Service, as you know, on the White House long, so this is triple security to get in. | ||
| But the Secret Service will tell you that always, President Trump is so drawn to the crowds that when he comes off a tarmac, comes off Air Force One, the tarmac or garbage shake hands, he's a man of the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
God bless you, I say. | |
| Let's bring in, keep that shot, and let's bring in David Zere, our own David Zeer. | ||
| Is that the Park Service right there? | ||
| Park Service hat. | ||
| David Zeer, put us in the crowd right there. | ||
| The president's over, it looks like meeting and greeting average Americans that are there today, many friends of people working in the administration, friends of people in Congress, a MAGA crowd. | ||
| David Zere, what's it like, sir? | ||
| Well, it's very heartwarming. | ||
| It's a very patriotic venue here, but I don't recall a time in my life for living through about 13 elections for president, this warm reception for a president at the White House here. | ||
| I did meet Jimmy Carter when I was seven here. | ||
| But I got to tell you, these people know that Trump came through on campaign promises that he's been touting. | ||
| I mean, I've been following with RAV Trump across the country for six plus years, and he's never wavered from these stances. | ||
| You know, the wealth tax and the no tax on tips. | ||
| All the times we went out to Nevada with 26% of the employees are service workers and the hospitality business and like 17 million people nationwide. | ||
| We're looking forward to that. | ||
| And now $25,000 up to they can no tax on that, the overtime, the Social Security, all the other things. | ||
| But more importantly than that, it's the first time that we're going to be able to do it. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, David. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| That was, I mean, there's a discount, I think it's $4,000 or $6,000, but there's still a tax on Social Security. | ||
| That was one of the ones that the Senate specifically pulled out. | ||
| There's the President right there. | ||
| I think you get a deduction of $6,000. | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| And we didn't get a raising on the, not to bring up a sore point of raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for some of this, but you can't get everything. | ||
| There's President Trump in the crowd right now. | ||
| David, continue on, sir. | ||
| Yeah, you know, we did keep the rate, I think, at 37% on the wealthy at least. | ||
| But, you know, these people have been crying out across the country here, living through COVID, with job reports always getting downgraded, you know, three months in after they lied about the job reports. | ||
| Now job reports in the first quarter of the term presidency are getting upgraded, revised upwards, which is a sea change here. | ||
| And going forward, I'm in a construction business in New York for 38, 39 years. | ||
| You know, people are hurting. | ||
| They can't refi their projects. | ||
| Businesses are leaving. | ||
| You know, they can't operate small businesses. | ||
| There's relief on the horizon, oil prices, eggs, other stuff. | ||
| But now, people are going to be able to open up the real estate market and get a first-time buyer home maybe for like $400,000 instead of $600,000. | ||
| So there's a lot of things that Trump promised on the campaign trail that he kept his promises to them. | ||
| And yes, they didn't get everything, and a lot of people aren't happy about the debt, but this was massive. | ||
| I think this jumpstarts the economy in turbo mode in the first quarter of 2026. | ||
| David, hang on right there. | ||
| I'm going to go to and keep this shot as President Trump mingles in the crowd. | ||
| We're going to wrap up. | ||
| I think at six o'clock, I'm going to ask my production team what we're going to do here, or we're going to go through six. | ||
| Jack Basobic, what was the reception out there with the crowd, and what was the flyover like, sir? | ||
| I mean, Steve, I got to say, I'm here with my kids. | ||
| You had a lot of people. | ||
| Now, it's kind of dispersing now as the ceremony is ending. | ||
| But, you know, I'll just say when those big B-2 Spirit stealth bombers flew over, the F-35s, the F-22, people were just screaming. | ||
| The kids were cheering. | ||
| And I got to say, just from the perspective of a guy who's got a couple of little soldiers in the fight, if you will, that through their eyes, this is their first impression of America. | ||
| For the kids who were here, for the kids who were coming to the various rallies, the kids are even just watching on TV, for the folks who watch War Room, they're growing up with this. | ||
| They're growing up with Donald Trump as their hero, as a guy who's patriotic, someone who loves his country. | ||
| This isn't the previous Obama years where it was, you know, America is not exceptional and America is in decline. | ||
| No, no, this is a larger than life figure, a larger than life day, certainly. | ||
| And to see these giant B-2s fly over with the escorts, with the military precision, flying information like that right over their White House, it's certainly going to be a day that all of the children here will always remember and carry forward into the future as we remember that this place is not just, America is not just an idea, all right? | ||
| America is our home. | ||
| This is our home and our home will be defended. | ||
| And thank God we got a president in that building right behind me who defends her. | ||
| President Trump, if you look in the upper box, President Trump is now mingling with the crowd. | ||
| I mean, someone has been through what he's been. | ||
| Working nonstop, he worked all night the other night. | ||
| Remember, he whipped the vote besides actually making the deal. | ||
| He whipped the vote then to get up the next morning and to have a, quite frankly, Jack, as you know, it was a quite direct conversation with Putin. | ||
| And we might add, David, I know you said peace throughout the world. | ||
| I think in Ukraine, it might be, might be going the other way. | ||
| He had a very direct conversation. | ||
| There's President Trump in the crowd right there meeting and greeting. | ||
| I mean, who does this? | ||
| He's the most powerful guy in the world. | ||
| And right there, look at that. | ||
| It's like he's greeting you. | ||
| Look at Melania. | ||
| Look at the First Lady. | ||
| And they're sitting there for selfies. | ||
| They're letting people take pictures. | ||
| It's like he's dropped by your house in the backyard barbecue, and he's trying to meet as many Americans as possible. | ||
| That's what Trump is. | ||
| He draws his power for this. | ||
| I'm telling you, he draws his energy from this. | ||
| If anything he loves, it's the rallies in these meet and greets along the rope line. | ||
| Jack, as you know, he had a very direct conversation with Putin. | ||
| He said afterwards, I didn't like the conversation. | ||
| Putin said, you know, Putin was live and he says, hey, I got to get up and go talk to the president. | ||
| I don't want to keep him waiting. | ||
| But they spoke, I think, for an hour and a half. | ||
| It was pretty direct. | ||
| Putin said, hey, I think I'll handle this thing with Ukraine on a bilateral basis. | ||
| And last night, they absolutely lit up Kiev. | ||
| I think the strongest bombardment tonight. | ||
| President Trump has countered saying, hey, we may be sending air defenses. | ||
| We may send air defense to them. | ||
| Just after the other day, he held back sending additional equipment. | ||
| Any thoughts on that, Jack Brosopic? | ||
| I know you've been covering this war in quite a bit of detail. | ||
| Well, Steve, of course, you know, as we see the ceasefire now in Gaza and hopefully Monday with Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit, that that will be solidified in place as well as the ceasefire that has still held. | ||
| And a lot of people said it wouldn't hold, but it has still held between Israel and Iran. | ||
| When we look to what the Russians are doing up in Ukraine, those 50,000 troops parked just outside of Sumai. | ||
| And I've heard the phrase being bandied around the lava flow of the Russian troops. | ||
| And what does that mean? | ||
| That means it is slow, But it is deadly and it incinerates any opposition in its path. | ||
| So, the lava flow through those eastern Russian-speaking provinces and the Ukrainian forces. | ||
| And, Steve, this is the issue that Ukraine still has: it's that war of attrition that Putin has embarked on because it doesn't matter to an extent, regardless of what the tech is and the drones and the missiles game in a war of attrition, the party that has more troops is always going to win on the ground. | ||
| So, while the air duel is still ongoing, it's still that question of the war on the ground and the lava flow of the Russian army and the Russian advance through this summer. | ||
| And you may actually see pocket breakouts across the East and Sumai, Kharkov, and others as the summer commences. | ||
| And Putin's going to make the decision probably by the end of this month whether or not he wants to do a massive August offensive. | ||
| Steve, they've taken more territory this summer than they have since November. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Now, President Trump, and you talk about the most successful six months, I mean, on stopping the kinetic Third World War, on stopping the invasion of the border, David Zir just said we had, you know, President Trump reiterated, had nobody. | ||
| By the way, once again, President Trump kind of in the crowd there on the south lawn of the White House. | ||
| He just signed historically the big, beautiful bill. | ||
| We had a historic flyer of B-2s, F-22s, F-35s, which we got Jack Bisovic in the park in Lafayette Square across the street. | ||
| Really has been the historical gathering part of people coming to the White House. | ||
| We got David Zeer on the lot. | ||
| Everything he's been doing, including rejuvenating the economy, there's a file over there. | ||
| And what I loved about Jack was it came exactly at the moment we were singing the Star-Spangled Banner. | ||
| So it's just absolutely incredible the timing of it. | ||
| President, you see him in the red ball cap. | ||
| The First Lady is next to him. | ||
| They're on the south wall of the White House in front of the little table and stand that was put up. | ||
| David Zir, about peace, the Third World War. | ||
| Of course, Netanyahu's there on Monday. | ||
| He's already said we're stopping the Gaza. | ||
| President Trump says we're going to stop the Gaza War. | ||
| The Iranians have just announced after a couple of days of smack talking the president that they are actually going to meet, I believe it's in Sweden or Norway, for a sit-down with the American delegation to talk about their nuclear program. | ||
| But in Ukraine, Putin, the president's reached out his hand to join in peace, and it looks like Putin may be going the other way. | ||
| I think we're farther from the Russian rapprochement now than we ever have. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Well, if you remember, during the Iran bombing coverage here from the White House, I said that Putin announced that every step a soldier takes in Ukraine belongs to Russia, and I was concerned, right? | ||
| And I think it is going the other way again. | ||
| And Putin taken license. | ||
| I had a guest on my show saying that a lithium field, a 100-acre field, was taken by the Russians, which may or may not have a play in the April-signed mineral deal with Ukraine. | ||
| And Jack's right. | ||
| It's a war of attrition, right? | ||
| And it's not much gains either way. | ||
| But guys with more troops and more fodder to throw at it, you know, could have a win. | ||
| I'm very concerned about it. | ||
| And, you know, of course, I was referring to the other deals where Trump helped mitigate peace. | ||
| But, yeah, Ukraine-Russia thing, very, very concerning for sure. | ||
| Well, in the Middle East also, I mean, President Trump is juggling the Middle East. | ||
| He's juggling the Ukraine war. | ||
| Of course, he passed this week a massive piece of legislation. | ||
| I mean, one of the largest in American history. | ||
| As he said, the largest tax cut and the largest spending cut. | ||
| Those spending cuts principally are in the out-year, starting basically year five, I believe. | ||
| But as Russ votes say, he's got tremendous structural changes to the way we spend money. | ||
| We're going to take a break at half past the hour with Real America's Voice. | ||
| We're probably going to stay to 6.30. | ||
| One story we do want to cover, there's been a horrible tragedy in Texas. | ||
| I think we've got some people. | ||
| We have Ben Burkhomb on the way. | ||
| Massive flooding on the Guadalupe River, I think, near Kerrville, Texas. | ||
| I think a number of children might be missing. | ||
| Patrick had a press conference. | ||
| The Lieutenant Governor had a press conference a little while ago. | ||
| We've got some folks down there to associate with Will America's voice we're going to try to get to with update. | ||
| There's the president of the United States right there enjoying himself. | ||
| I mean, think of the energy you have to have to do this. | ||
| This is superhuman. | ||
| This superpower is his energy and his stick-to-ativeness. | ||
| After all of this, after all those days of negotiation, he's out there with the first lady, and he's working the crowd. | ||
| That's the rope line right there. | ||
| He's going down. | ||
| He hasn't skipped anybody. | ||
| He went to one side. | ||
| He went to one side where the stairs come down from the portico from where he was speaking. | ||
| And he went over there where the Marine Band was. | ||
| And folks, he's come all the way across. | ||
| He's going to shake as many hands and have people have as many selfies. | ||
| Right there and back, right there, you can see the Rose Garden. | ||
| And that is the portico that connects the West Wing with the residence with the West Wing. | ||
| He was outside the residence there on the portico and on the facing the south lawn of the White House. | ||
| President Trump there, again, with the First Lady, working crowd. | ||
| They're going to have a picnic immediately after this at 9 o'clock Eastern Daylight Time, Real America's Voice Operating. | ||
| They're going to have fireworks along the Potomac. | ||
| And people watch that from Advantage Point. | ||
| I think Ambassador Grinnell is going to have people on the roof of the Kennedy Center tonight. | ||
| You're going to have people on the roof of the State Department tonight. | ||
| I think Secretary Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Marco Ruby have people there throughout D.C. People will be watching this. | ||
| The 4th of July celebration is one not to be missing. | ||
| If you've never had a chance to go back to see the 4th of July, D.C., it is, of course, a spectacle really beyond belief. | ||
| This is the 249th year anniversary of the Republic. | ||
| Next year, it's a lead-up to the 250th. | ||
| President Trump has already promised we're going to have a 25,000-seat stadium built on the South Lawn or somewhere to have a UFC fighting championship. | ||
| David Zeer, I know it's not as hot as it has been, but the president's there working the crowd with the first lady, I mean, he's going all in on this, is he not, sir? | ||
| Well, he is, and that's what Donald Trump does. | ||
| You know, I have story after story from New York City. | ||
| You know, growing up in the construction business, contractors to this day tell me I was a concrete guy in New York City. | ||
| I was a doorman. | ||
| I was the guy who, you know, who drove Trump around. | ||
| Trump always interacted with the lay person and the small guy and all the people on his jobs. | ||
| It's in his DNA. | ||
| He's New York City to the core. | ||
| And that's why he's so upset about what's going on there right now. | ||
| By the way, I saw a post earlier of maybe an American flag burning down in Foley Square. | ||
| And, you know, what protests today across the country. | ||
| And the new Gallup poll, I just want to mention, you know, Democrats aren't proud to be American when a Republican's in office, but Republicans usually stay true to their patriotism, regardless of who's in office. | ||
| I think it was 36% of Democrats, only 36% of Democrats are proud to be American right now. | ||
| It's just absolutely disgusting. | ||
| And yes, I posted on Getter. | ||
| Everybody, if you want to follow me, go to Getter. | ||
| David, what David said, I posted that earlier where they burned and mocked an American flag today. | ||
| David, hang right there. | ||
| We're going to take a break in a couple of minutes. | ||
| Jack Basovic, once again, maybe as the president continues to sign hats and take selfies, maybe we can do a split screen. | ||
| Can we do the flyer again? | ||
| And if we possibly get the noise, I want to have, it was extraordinary, had two flyers, one to start things off, a group of fighter planes, and then the B-2 came with a couple of escorts. | ||
| Can we go ahead and replay that? | ||
| There we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Double one. | ||
| Oh yeah. | ||
| Can we get one more hit with David Zero? | ||
| Is he going? | ||
| David Zare had to punch. | ||
| Okay, David Zero's going to go back over to Pepple Beach. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going off the south farm of the White House. | |
| The barbecue is about to start. | ||
| The picnic is about to start. | ||
| Let's go to Jack Pesobic. | ||
| Jack, what was it like with that crowd of Patriots when the B2 came at pretty low level? | ||
| So I haven't seen that. | ||
| I only have a time I've seen B2 that low is at the military parade that President Trump had. | ||
| There we go with the fighter escort. | ||
| Jack Pesobic, what was it like? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Steve, the energy was incredible. | ||
| We're getting out there. | ||
| And you could see the first wing of fighters, I believe it was the F-22s at first that were coming by. | ||
| And they flew in formation for abreast across the White House first. | ||
| Everybody started cheering, cheering. | ||
| And then a few people started looking back in the distance, and you could see something way back there. | ||
| I said, guys, I see something. | ||
| Something big is coming. | ||
| And you could see it from, it's got to be several miles away because that's that straight shot all the way down 16th Street, the right direction I'm looking right now. | ||
| And they flew right over north to south over our heads here. | ||
| The biggest bombers you've seen. | ||
| Remember, the bunker buster bombs that were dropped by these things are the size of a school bus. | ||
| And these things dropped two of them, all right? | ||
| The size of a city bus and they dropped two of them. | ||
| So just think about that in your mind at the side, the sheer size of this thing. | ||
| And I'm there. | ||
| Everyone starts cheering. | ||
| Everyone starts chanting USA, USA. | ||
| Tanya Tay's got a video of it. | ||
| We just posted it up on social media. | ||
| Of course, as we're going by, I said, well, I can't believe we just saw the stealth bombers. | ||
| And Tanya goes, she goes, which ones are the stealth bombers? | ||
| I said, they're the big ones, baby. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're the big ones. | |
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Just incredible. | ||
| What a day. | ||
| I mean, everything from Iowa, from the all night, President Trump up at 2 in the morning, 2.30 in the morning, whipping the votes. | ||
| He had his last calls with the Republicans and got the Republicans on board to basically pass the rule and then led to the passes the bill later. | ||
| Of course, in the interim, Hakeem Jeffries spoke for eight hours and laid out the case against President Trump and the Republicans. | ||
| They feel like they've gotten their footing now to come back on us. | ||
| There's a great picture with that magnificent flag. | ||
| Jack Pasobic, by the way, David Zeer is leaving. | ||
| He's going to go set up at Pebble Beach with the Real America's Voice Studios. | ||
| Jack, got about a minute before we go to break. | ||
| Brother, I got to ask you, that flag is so magnificent out there that you got to ask yourself the question, like I told the president that day when I was over at the White House with him, how did no one ever think of this before? | ||
| That huge American flag exists on so many shops. | ||
| Jack Pesobic. | ||
| It's incredible to see. | ||
| It's magnificent in the shop behind us. | ||
| And it goes to show you, Steve, which presidents are here for the country and which presidents are here for themselves. | ||
| Who's the only president to never take a salary? | ||
| The only president who lost money from coming into the job and the only president who paid for the giant American flags himself? | ||
| It's Donald J. Trump. | ||
| And by the way, he doesn't go to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard on the 4th of July. | ||
| Donald John Trump stays right there in the White House and is a man of the people. | ||
| You don't see him at Nantucket. | ||
| You don't see him at Martha's Vineyard like a couple of previous occupants of the White House, Biden and Obama. | ||
| He's there with the people. | ||
| He's shaking hands. | ||
| He's working the crowd. | ||
| He's signing a historic document. | ||
| That's what separates out the greats from the also Rands. | ||
| And with President Trump, you've got General Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Donald John Trump. | ||
| Jack, hang around for a moment. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break in Real America's Voice. | ||
| Zier's at the White House. | ||
| Jack Postubic's there in Lafayette Square. | ||
| We're going to be back in the war in just a moment. | ||
|

|
So I suggest you take a look inside. | |
| Cause I think you've changed already. | ||
| You went and lost your pride. | ||
| But I'm American made. | ||
| I got American part. | ||
| I got American faith in America's heart. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Matt. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| I want to go back to Jack Bostobic. | ||
| Jack, I think Tanya Tay's already punched out. | ||
| She's over at the Hay Adams having an iced tea on Arnold Palmer with the kids, correct? | ||
| She had it over the air conditioning. | ||
| Hey, look, look, Tanya Tay, you know, she's a classy girl. | ||
| What can I say? | ||
| You know, take her from the capitals of Europe. | ||
| So, you know, the hot dogs and the picnics, she'll do it. | ||
| But when she sees the Hay Adams within walking distance, she makes a beeline for it. | ||
| Talk to me. | ||
| Just give me your summary thoughts today. | ||
| Another historic day, obviously July 4th, but President Trump made it even more special. | ||
| What do you got, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, I mean, think about where we were a year ago today. | ||
| So a year ago today, you were no longer with us. | ||
| You've been taken off the battlefield. | ||
| You've been placed away by Merrick Garland and the rest. | ||
| And little did we know that nine days after July 4th, on July 13th, and it's coming soon, the one-year anniversary of when President Trump was shot and did we freeze up? | ||
| Okay, I think his battery may be down. | ||
| Let's go to, we'll wrap up with Jack in a while. | ||
| Let's go. | ||
| I want to go down. | ||
| I've got Colonel Pete Chambers on here, former Green Beret, also a doctor from outside Comfort, Texas. | ||
| Sir, been a horrible tragedy today. | ||
| Can you explain to the country what exactly is going on down there and what you guys are working on? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| Right. | ||
| So last night we had early this morning, atypical deluge of rain. | ||
| It just came in hard and fast. | ||
| Typically this time of year, we don't get this, but what that resulted in was a deadly cresting all the way down from Kerr County. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| All the way down from Kerr County and it goes all the way to San Saba. | ||
| The crests have not, they've decreased, but we're going to expect more further downstream as the watershed effect of this thing. | ||
| We ran into the situation in North Carolina. | ||
| Our team is a counterhuman trafficking team, but we also do humanitarian response. | ||
| So this is what we saw over there in North Carolina. | ||
| It's the same thing, just more of a micro scale, but it isn't micro to the folks out there. | ||
| Got six confirmed fatalities as of an hour ago. | ||
| While I was sitting here, we got possibly 13, but I'll have to confirm those. | ||
| 23 missing out of Hunt, Texas, the Camp Mystic Christian Camp. | ||
| Some kids camped out for the 4th of July. | ||
| And so that's what we're dealing with. | ||
| So we'll be out here all night because it's going to crest at 0,700 hours tomorrow in San Sabos. | ||
| So we're going to follow that and maintain these teams that are responding. | ||
| Colonel, it was said earlier in the day that the river, south of Guadalupe River, may have risen 26 feet in 45 minutes. | ||
| Is that possible? | ||
| You know, that is possible. | ||
| It depends on the slopes that are around them. | ||
| So we're in the hill country. | ||
| So this is not as, you know, the angle of slope here is not like North Carolina where you had the Appalachians, but that is possible. | ||
| But I don't know about the time, the time hack on that, if that's right or wrong, but I do know that we had crests from river bottom to top, increases of 20 feet to 30 feet between Kirk County and other locations. | ||
| Colonel, the concern is that at first there was, even I think Daily Mail reported, there's these Christian camps or camps for kids that the kids spend the summer, particularly 4th of July weekend, away from their parents, and that they're possibly at the beginning, hundreds missing. | ||
| I think the lieutenant governor just gave a press conference. | ||
| He said 20 to 23. | ||
| And these are children, I understand, maybe under 10 years old. | ||
| Do you know any details? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Yeah, I'm getting the pictures as we speak so we can identify. | ||
| Listen, we did have some good stories. | ||
| Twin sisters were downstream from that mystic, one in that with Camp Mystic in Hunt. | ||
| They were clinging to a tree as the water receded. | ||
| There was two sisters up in a tree. | ||
| They're okay. | ||
| So there is some good stories to this. | ||
| But yes, I do have 23 exactly right now on my books. | ||
| And I pray that that does not increase. | ||
| With the river still hasn't crushed you yet. | ||
| Tell me, walk me through your guys' operation and others like you. | ||
| I understand a number of groups like yours are all heading into this area to look for people that are still alive survivors. | ||
| Walk us through what you guys do. | ||
| What's the process? | ||
| Yeah, the process is like this. | ||
| I got a call at zero dark this morning, essentially 0,400. | ||
| Hey, we're watching this. | ||
| And then by 0,700, I was en route to this location about two hours away from my location in central Texas up by Wimberly. | ||
| So then I take the lead because I'm the first guy on the scene. | ||
| And these are civilian teams. | ||
| These are not really NGOs, but non-for-profits that do this kind of work. | ||
| And we go all over the place. | ||
| My team is filled with operators, serious gentlemen that are professional. | ||
| There are Swiss water guys. | ||
| We have them on the way. | ||
| We're coordinating with the Texas Department of Emergency Management, the EOC's Emergency Operations Centers, and the Texas Military Department, which I retired from two years ago. | ||
| So I know these people, know the actors. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is my backyard. | |
| Colonel, we're told now that maybe even Blackhawk helicopters, I understand the weather's still pretty dicey down there. | ||
| Are there Blackhawk helicopters downriver trying to look for survivors? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| That is my belief. | ||
| I did talk to the Texas Military Department liaison. | ||
| Those air assets are in the air. | ||
| I don't know where they are. | ||
| I know that I held off my chopper just because it wasn't a requirement for me today, but weather is variable right now. | ||
| We got constant rain, but it's died down somewhat. | ||
| But there's no reason to put people in the air and put them in harm's way for us. | ||
| Texas Military Department is doing that. | ||
| We have a clip. | ||
| How long is what's the TRT on the clip? | ||
| Okay, let's go and play the clip. | ||
| When the clip's ready, let's play the clip from the press conference. | ||
| I'll come back to the Colonel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, we always say in this situation, you know, thoughts and prayers. | |
| I'm asking the people of Texas, do some serious praying this afternoon, on your knees kind of praying, that we find these young girls and that they're only unaccounted for because they're somewhere that we don't know yet, but that they're alive and safe and we will find them. | ||
| If they're alive and safe, we will find them and bring them home to you. | ||
| So please pray for these families tonight and this afternoon. | ||
| Thank you all very much. | ||
| Colonel, let's talk about the twins. | ||
| You're saying that they actually grabbed onto trees or branches. | ||
| Is that when these horrible rivers, when the rivers rise so horribly and you can tell the power of it is so strong, is that what is the best to try to swim to the side, get onto our branches, hold on for dear life? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You know, when you can't swim against the stream, number one, this was early morning when it hit that camp and those sisters were down from that location. | ||
| So they just hung on to the edges as they could. | ||
| And those were the treetops, right? | ||
| Because that was where the crest was at that time. | ||
| And that water hammer shed effect, which hit that site. | ||
| You know, usually campgrounds, you know, they're susceptible to whatever weather pattern that's in their way. | ||
| And these were along the river there in Hunt, Texas, in Kerk County. | ||
| Colonel, how can people on social media, how can people follow you tonight as the rescue attempt, you know, these little girls, 23 of them, with a raging river like that that hasn't even crested going to need all the help in the world. | ||
| How can people follow you? | ||
| And then where do they go to have any support for your group? | ||
| Great question, sir. | ||
| And this is what I use that site for. | ||
| It's DocPete Chambers on X. That's really the place to go. | ||
| I do put out regular situation reports asking for help, asking for logistics support. | ||
| We have trucks inbound right now. | ||
| We've got stock trailers coming in for cattle that are out in the roads, but that's a secondary thing right now, right now is the human life. | ||
| And so we'll deal with that. | ||
| But Doc Pete Chambers is my ex-account, and that's where I'll put the sit reps out. | ||
| Okay, Doc, thank you so much, Colonel Chambers. | ||
| Go with God tonight. | ||
| You're on a mission that couldn't be higher to save those little girls. | ||
| So good on you. | ||
| I reiterate the Lieutenant Governor. | ||
| We need to pray. | ||
| This is one of those moments. | ||
| Amen, sir. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I know the War Room posse is good at that. | ||
| We've been in some tight spots before. | ||
| This is a very, very dire situation. | ||
| So all of our prayers. | ||
| Grace and Mo, let's make sure we get the Colonel's site up there. | ||
| David's here. | ||
| Obviously, a horrible tragedy down in Texas. | ||
| We're going to follow nonstop on Real America's Voice also over at Weather Nation. | ||
| David, give me some closing thoughts you've got from this historic day at the White House. | ||
| Our hearts go out to those families. | ||
| Down south, I couldn't think of any place I'd rather be than with my family and my grandkids than here at the White House today. | ||
| This is monumental, historic. | ||
| Washington, D.C. is on fire right now, and it's okay to be MAGA. | ||
| You know, I don't remember that in my lifetime coming down here, except maybe when Reagan came in. | ||
| So I think today was a huge success for Trump and all of the things, you know, where Chriss Cross and Iowa, they got it together when he declared that he was going to run again from the data mining operations in 2016, which weren't so great in Iowa to 2020 to 2024, when he dominated everybody. | ||
| And he won every county in Iowa except Johnson County. | ||
| And I think he only lost that by one vote to Nikki Haley. | ||
| And they have not looked back. | ||
| And it's rare. | ||
| Trump is kind of the anti-politician. | ||
| Meeting thousands of politicians in my life, you don't find really many genuinely qualified or genuine at-heart people. | ||
| And Trump appears to have nothing to lose at this point. | ||
| He's all in. | ||
| A proud moment for us. | ||
| He's all in. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Dave, what's your social media? | ||
| People are going to want to follow you tonight. | ||
| There's a picnic and then fireworks. | ||
| David Zeer, where they catch you, sir. | ||
| At Dave Zeer on X, at David Zere on Getter, Facebook, and Truth Social, and David W. Zeer on Insta. | ||
| Thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| It's been a pleasure. | ||
| David Zeer, you're a good man. | ||
| Great coverage. | ||
| Make sure we pray tonight. | ||
| Any other assistance? | ||
| I'll be up on Getter, Mo and Grace. | ||
| We'll be pushing stuff out. | ||
| Also, Real America's Voice. | ||
| I want to thank Rob and Parker Sig for making this possible. | ||
| Hour and a half of great coverage. | ||
| I want to thank Jack Besovic and the family. | ||
| His battery went down there at the end. | ||
| Jack Besovic's going to be at the Kennedy Center night enjoying it. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody throughout the country keeps those little girls in your prayers. | ||
| Also enjoy your 4th of July, the 249th birthday of this great country, the greatest country in the history of mankind. | ||
| We're going to continue now with the coverage of Real America's Voice, John Solomon, Amanda Head, and Just the News. | ||
| We're going to pick up coverage after a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to thank Birch Gold, all of our team there. | ||
| We're back live again in the war room at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow morning. | ||
| Philip Patrick will be live from Rio de Janeiro. | ||
| We're going to have a packed show. |
