In fighting on the right, personalities taking swipes at each other, magma civil war, divisions emerging. Look, I've been in this movement since like the 1980s and inter-party fights have always been there. I remember what they did to pitchfork Pat Buchanan, okay? But while policy differences are hashed out, we need to stay optimistic people because perpetual cynicism and discontent is both unappealing and unwarranted. Because after 11 months back in office, Donald Trump and his team had put America back on track and pushed Democrats further to the radical left. Now, to really understand how far we've come, let's remember where we started on the border. -Another migrant caravan is reportedly on its way to our southern border. AP reports nearly 1,000 migrants are recently crossing from Guatemala into Mexico and heading north. -31 states have a population less than the number of people you've let in. Why did you open up the border? Why did you create this catastrophe? -We did not open up the border. Senator, we enforce the law. -There have been more than 1 million migrant crossings since October 1st, when the new fiscal year began. We have never hit that milestone this early on. The CBP revealing Chinese migrants are the fastest-growing group, with nearly 20,000 illegally crossing since October. So, and how do things look on the border now? -We were here two years ago, where migrants used to carry children on their backs to get across this river and cut through this barbed wire to get to the United States. They would see hundreds, even thousands a day, in this very spot. But today, it's silent. -Business owner Leo Martinez is a Democrat who voted for Trump, saying his once-eight-hour commute to his factories across the border now takes 20 minutes. -Now, if you look at the border, it's super quiet. So whatever the current administration has done, it's working. -Whatever they're doing, it's working. Zero illegals crossing, drug cartels frustrated, less crime, fewer women and children. Democrats are supposed to care so much of them. Few of them are being brutalized. Because of Donald Trump, some of the worst criminals who've been protected by Soros, D.A.s, and sanctuary city mayors have been shipped home. Like these gems, Andrew Javier Padron, Shakare from Venezuela. ICE officials said he's a TDA gang member convicted of theft. Humberto Dislasarita from the Dominican Republic, convicted of conspiracy to import at least 50 kilos of cocaine. Just yesterday, we found out that ICE officers lodged a detainer for Santos Paulina Vasquez Ramirez, an illegal from Guada, who crossed the border in 2013 under Obama. On December 1st, he strangled a taxi cab driver to death in Brewster, New York. By the way, that was over a fair dispute. They found the victim floating in a nearby reservoir six days later. So these are the types of people that Democrats allowed into the country. The types of people that Democrats protected. Protected, by the way, while they were here living amongst us. And who the Trump administration is ridding us of. Now, Trump won in large part last year because he was committed to removing all illegal aliens from the country. So the rule now is leave voluntarily and then you'll be able to reapply the right way, come back in the right way, lead a clean and simple life. It's easy to follow and understand. And by the way, any move now to carve out exceptions or soften this position because some restaurant owner pushes a sob story about some sweet restaurant worker, fried cook, because some donor loves her illegal nanny, that would backfire big time. Headlines would be Trump caves. Democrats would celebrate, MAGA would shatter by by midterms. But beyond the border, let's not forget how Biden cost us thousands of dollars each of us every year and higher gasoline bills. - A new record high jumping 17 cents in a week causing sticker shock nationwide. - I'd say it affecting me every day. - I do have to budget a little bit differently just for gas. - There's so much that is beyond any leader in the globe's control. Gas prices today, over $5 a gallon in the United States. If you were in Canada, you would be paying over $6 and 20 cents, something like that. If you were in Germany, you'd be paying $8 a gallon. - And now what do we have now? The lowest gas prices in four years. - A fresh four and a half year low, three and a half year low of 295 a gallon as of today. - That is miles away from the all time high set back in 2022 under former president Biden, above $5 a gallon. - That's an automatic tax cut. And let's not forget that we're stumbling Joe and Yoko Yellen where they had us on the inflation issue. - We're making considerable progress in bringing inflation down. - The US government reported inflation has hit 8.6%, the highest it's been in 40 years. - Take any blame for inflation. Should you just press it in? - I take any blame for inflation, no. - I give military benefits. If it wasn't for the benefits that I get, I mean, I don't know how I'd be making it. - Biden left us with an inflation rate of 3.3% after hitting a high of 9.1% during his administration. It's just now cooling to 2.7%, thank God, and Trump. And if you took out the inflation rate in the blue states by the way, it would even be lower. Consider Dallas where inflation is running at only 1.1% over the year. The South generally has more muted price increases. Now, why is that? The reason for that is because we have better state government, lower taxes in those states, and less red tape in those states makes sense. And then there's foreign policy. Here's the way it was. - There's no crisis line with China. We know that Lloyd Austin, his counterpart wasn't picking up when the U.S. tried or when Lloyd Austin tried to call. - President Biden says he stands squarely behind his decision to withdraw all U.S. troops despite Afghanistan's descent into chaos as the Taliban sees full control of the country. - But under Trump, America is back in the driver's seat. We're going after the narco terrorists. We're focusing on securing our hemisphere, and we're working to pressure China by cutting our addiction to cheap Chinese imports. - Trump's tariffs were hugely important in beginning to reset the global trade balance, too. - Trillions of dollars is coming into our country from other countries and companies. They're building factories and plants, including auto plants all over the United States of America. Without tariffs, they wouldn't be doing anything. - That means rebuilding our industrial capacity, including our military capacity. And today, the focus was on shipbuilding. - Remember, it is a travesty, but we've fallen far behind other countries, mostly China, thanks to years of stupid industrial outsourcing. Trump is the only president to actually get the fact that this is a national priority. - Each one of these will be the largest battleship in the history of our country, the largest battleship in the history of the world ever built. So we're talking about 10, but we're gonna start with two, and we're gonna quickly morph into 10, and ultimately, we think it's gonna be anywhere from 20 to 25 of these. - Shipbuilding is a priority, and from war to peace, Trump wants to be known as the peace president, and he's worked harder to bring adversaries, bitter adversaries to the table than anyone I can remember in recent memory. When the Gaza war dragged on, J.D. Vance delivered a message to Netanyahu. Wrap it up, he said. And don't think about annexing most of the West Bank, or you'll lose all U.S. support. Because of this pressure, the peace deal that eluded Biden and Blinken eventually got done. Of course, the media, though, they're seeing all this, and they're rooting against peace. They hate giving Trump any credit, so expect headlines like this. Peace deals unraveling. Keith Richberg in the Washington Post, guess we're not gonna put it up, but not all dispute resolution will hold. Gaza will be hard to manage, but my goodness, Trump deserves major kudos for getting enemies to talk, for getting enemies to come to the table and hammer things out. Now, I could go on and on about this year, job creation going almost exclusively to native-born Americans, the end of taxpayer subsidies for trans surgeries, mutilating our kids on your dime. That was insane. That's over. The work of Doge to expose the waste in the end of the NGO industrial complex. His stellar cabinet, especially compared to Biden's showcase of goofballs. So in the end, here's the message. Don't bend to your critics. This has been a phenomenal year. Don't let yourselves get buffeted by the same people who were working against you in 2021 and 2022. They're not your friends. Focus on the people, hardworking Americans. You do that, and next year is gonna be fabulous. And no, for all of you out there, now, of course we didn't get everything we wanted. The angle didn't. We wanted Congress to end the filibuster, to put Trump's policies into law. We hoped deportations would be swifter and broader. We wanted another tax cut. We wanted the Doge spending cuts dropped into the bill. Big, beautiful bill. We wanted no technology to China. We wanted a clear industrial policy, but still, with a thin majority, oh my goodness, Speaker Mike Johnson, Senator Thune, Trump, they pushed through the big, beautiful bill. And to this day, no one, and I mean no one, at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, has been better on the border, better for American workers. And in recent years, no one comes close to Donald Trump. And my message to the White House, keep it going. Stay on the right path. 2026 really is going to be the best that's yet to come, and that's the angle.
