President Trump invites Patty Morin, mother of Rachel Morin who was killed by an illegal alien, onstage at TPUSA’s AmFest WATCH LIVE: https://www.rsbnetwork.com/video/live-president-donald-j-trump-keynotes-tpusas-amfest-2024-conference-12-22-24/
[APPLAUSE] Thank you. The first time I met President Trump in person, he invited us to lunch, my attorney and I. And to be honest, I didn't do anything. I just sat there. I didn't really speak because I wanted to watch the man and listen to what he had to say and what his conversation was like because I knew he wasn't a politician, but I knew that he had been president before. And I wanted to see if he was a real authentic man who actually cared for the American people. And so I watched him. I watched how he interacted. I also watched how much his staff really respected him and how much his staff loved working for him. But the thing that changed the way that I looked at him as a person was I realized that he was a dad, that he was a grandfather. And when you spoke to him, you could see in his eyes that he genuinely cared about his fellow human being. But the thing I appreciate the most is that he heard the cries of a mother and he cared. And he made a promise that he was going to protect us and that he was going to help us. And that's all you can ask from your president, but also just from a fellow human being. And so I personally-- I am so honored to know this man and to think of you as a friend. [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] Thank you very much. She's been through hell. Who wouldn't be? I mean, so many people, so many-- I call them angel moms and they go through hell. And many of them say it doesn't get any better, but we have to hope it does.

“America is BACK”: National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez joins President Trump onstage WATCH LIVE: https://www.rsbnetwork.com/video/live-president-donald-j-trump-keynotes-tpusas-amfest-2024-conference-12-22-24/
The patriots of border patrols will once again have a president who will back you and will have you and we're going to work together as we have done in the past. You know, we had the safest border in the history of our country. And you remember the famous sign that I pulled down? That sign was about how good the border was. I haven't used that sign much lately. Well, we won, so I guess I don't have to use it. But we really do have to use it because the fact is that we have to have strong safe borders and we have to have men like this and women who are doing an unbelievable job. I've gotten to know a lot of them. I'll tell you what, they're tougher than I am. I don't want to mess with them, right? But this man has done as the head and also replacing a very good guy. We know that, right? And he's going to have a good life, I hope, because he was a very special guy and you're a very special guy. Say a few words, please, Paul. I mean, we're back. America is back. The strength and security that Donald Trump brings to the White House is what we've needed. He's done it before. He's going to do it again. We're going to make all of these communities safe. And like Tom Holman said, if you're not going to help, get the hell out of the way. Donald Trump is by far the best president in the history of this country and he's going to show everybody exactly why. Thank you.

-With the stroke of my pen, on day one, we're going to stop the transgender lunacy. [ Cheers and applause ] And I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools. [ Cheers and applause ] And we will keep men out of women's sports. [ Cheers and applause ] And that will likewise be done on day one. Should I do day one, day two, or day three? How about day one, right? Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders -- male and female. [ Cheers and applause ] Doesn't sound too complicated, does it?

"I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations." President @RealDonaldTrump @TPUSA
I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. We're going to do it immediately. And we'll unleash the full power of federal law enforcement, ICE, Border Patrol. How good is, by the way, how good is Tom Holman, right? He's been, I've known him a long time, I'll bet you Sheriff Joe likes Tom Holman, right? Sheriff Joe, yes, yep, he goes yep. The DEA, the FBI, the intelligence community, and financial sanctions to remove the migrant gangs and criminals that are killing and raping and maiming our citizens. We're going to get them out, we're going to get them out.

"On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our borders." President @RealDonaldTrump
-On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our border to illegal aliens and stop the invasion of our country. And on that same day, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than that of President Dwight D Eisenhower. And as part of Operation Aurora -- you know all about Aurora, how horrible that's been -- every single foreign gang and illegal alien member, all of this criminal network operating on American soil will be dismantled, deported, and destroyed. Gonna get 'em out.

"TO GET WOKENESS OUT OF OUR MILITARY AND RESTORE THE UNQUESTIONING STRENGTH...OF THE AMERICAN ARMED FORCES, I HAVE APPOINTED @PETEHEGSETH TO BE OUR NEXT SEC. OF DEFENSE." President @RealDonaldTrump
But to get woke us out of our military and restore the unquestioned strength and fighting spirit of the American armed forces, I've appointed Pete Hegseth to be our next Secretary of Defense. He's going to be great. You know, I've interviewed with him a lot on Fox and all he ever wanted to talk about was the military, including when we were on. We talk about the military, you talk about how unfairly our soldiers were treated. Can I give a pardon to this one or that one who's treated so unfairly? They teach him to be fighting machines, and then when they fight, they want to put them in jail for 35 years, and he was very strong on that. That's all he wanted to talk about, really, it just seems so natural to me. Plus, he had a great education, went to Princeton, and Harvard was a tremendous student, and he's a very vibrant, strong guy. I think he's going to be great. He's doing well to make our intelligence community respected even more. I don't even think the word even is right, because we had some bad years with these people. But we're going to do something, we're going to stop looking at all of these horrible foreign wars that we've gotten ourselves through stupidity. We're in wars and countries that nobody ever even heard of before, and we're going to be smart. We're going to be guided by strength, and we're going to piece through strength like we had. I had no wars other than I wiped out ISIS.

"WE WILL NEVER EVER LET IT(PANAMA CANAL) FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS." President @RealDonaldTrump
Has anyone ever heard of the Panama Canal? Because we're being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else. A secure... He just said, "Take it back." It's a good idea. Where do you come from, sir? He doesn't come from Panama. Yeah, good. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. commerce and rapid deployment of the Navy from the Atlantic all the way to the Pacific. It's an incredible thing and drastically cut shipping times down to U.S. sports by days and even weeks. The United States is the number one user of the Panama Canal with over 72 percent of all transits heading to or from U.S. sports. Think of that. So we built it. We're the ones that use it. They gave it away. Considered really one of the great wonders of the world. The Panama Canal opened for business 110 years ago and was built at huge cost to the United States and it really is big when you consider the lives and the treasure, the equivalent of 1.2 trillion dollars today. You don't hear those numbers. 38,000 American men, almost all men, they went there to be construction workers and dig. They were diggers and they were brave. 38,000 men died from infected mosquitoes in the jungles of Panama during the construction period. Think of that. We lost 38,000 men. Teddy Roosevelt was president of the United States at the time of its building and understood the strength of naval power and trade. When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave it away, gave it away for one dollar, one dollar, during his term in office, it was solely for Panama to manage and not for China or any other country to manage. You see what's going on there? China. [Applause] It was likewise not given for Panama to charge the United States its Navy and its corporations doing business within our country, exorbitant prices and rates of passage, which they do. They charge just like, like it's a disgrace. Our Navy and commerce have been treated in a very unfair and injudicious way. The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, highly unfair, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama, I say very foolishly, by the United States. This complete rip-off of our country will immediately stop. It's gonna stop. The United States has a big invested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood when they gave it to Panama. Can you believe that? We would never have done it if we thought what's happening now can happen, and we would never, and we will never, ever let it fall into the wrong hands.

Liz Cheney has been exposed in the Interim Report, by Congress, of the J6 Unselect Committee as having done egregious and unthinkable acts of crime. At the same time, however, she helped the Democrats lose the Election by giving her support – She is so unpopular and disgusting, a real loser!
Congratulations to Congressman Barry Loudermilk on the great work he has done in exposing the massive corruption of the J6 Unselect Committee of Political Thugs! Also, congratulations, and thank you, to Mark Levin for airing this travesty of Justice, one that has been so misrepresented by the Fake News Media. We need more Warriors like Barry and Mark to expose the massive corruption taking place in our Country!
