in reality, Maria, they're protesting because this has been the most effective, most impactful, in a positive sense, 100 days, certainly in my lifetime. Chuck Schumer seems to forget that in November of last year, 75% of the American public felt this nation was on the wrong track. As President Trump has come into office, he's fixed our border. He's put us on a fundamentally different plane in terms of crime in America. He's addressing some of the longstanding issues that we've had with some of our partners. We're moving in the right direction. And I think that the Democrat Party is imploding as a result of it. Today is, you know, So exhibit A at that point.

what the opportunity is, is to rebuild the global trading system in a way that works for the United States, which we didn't have. I think there's also the opportunity on globalism, to reverse it. E.J. was talking about China, you know, they're still getting loans from the World Bank, I couldn't stop it. They're still getting debt restructurings. When they make a bad loan abroad, they get all their money back. And so the whole system is set up in a way that favors them and not the U.S. So this is a starting point.

We're talking about the largest deregulatory action in the history of the country. There's never been a bigger deregulatory action than what was announced three weeks ago tomorrow. And over the course of the last four years, the Biden administration was strangulating the economy, seeking to close down industry's wholesale across the board, punishing a lot of Americans who can least afford it. So the consequence of us pursuing what will be trillions of dollars of money saved, trillions of dollars saved here for Americans, is that the cost of living is going to go down. It will become cheaper to heat your home, to purchase a car. We will be creating new jobs, a lot of jobs inside of the auto sector. We will be fulfilling President Trump's promise and his mandate that the American public voted for last November. Now when people dig into it, they'll hear of acronyms like Clean Power Plan, Quad OBC, MATs. And as you look at each individual rule, they were targeting particular industries. What we want to do is get this, protect the environment, and grow the economy. We believe we can do both.

But I can't let you get away with what you just said about the American Rescue Plan and this inflation that has crippled families here in Philadelphia and all through the state of Pennsylvania and all across the country. Inflation when Donald Trump left office was 1.4% year over year. The stimulus package measures that he put into place was when the economy was flat on its back because the world was shut down because of COVID-19. When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, many states were already back to work. Their economies were already opening. And when they wanted to do his American Rescue Plan, which she co-signed because she was the tie-breaking vote, we told them on Capitol Hill, you're going to create a labor shortage, which is going to create inflation. Because what they wanted to do was do a massive child tax credit, which by the way is the cornerstone of her economic agenda. That child tax credit coupled with all of the other unemployment benefits that Joe Biden wanted to do, that's what caused the labor shortage. The labor shortage in an economy that was already opening up is what caused the massive inflation. So we need to be crystal clear on this. There were bipartisan packages to support the American people during COVID-19. Everybody knows we would do that stuff again. But Joe Biden and Kamala Harris didn't need to do the American Rescue Plan. He wanted to do that for his own agenda, for his own name, and it wrecked our economy. and that's why Americans are suffering today.

And tonight we have a new report from JustTheNews.com revealing that U.S. Customs and Border Protection is now warning in an internal memo that heightened tensions in the Middle East mean a higher risk of terrorists getting smuggled across the border into this country. John Solomon will be here in a moment. But also tonight there are serious questions that are swirling around the military service record of Kamala's running mate, Tim Walz. In fact, the Minnesota National Guard is disputing Walz's military biography, all but accusing him of inflating his rank. A statement from the Minnesota Guard to this show confirms that Walz retired from the military prior to his unit's deployment to Iraq was demoted upon retirement because he had not completed the required coursework. And Walz is also accused of abandoning his platoon, quitting before that deployment to Iraq. Despite his prior claims, Walz never served in a war or a combat zone. Earlier tonight, a guest on the Ingram-Angels show, Laura, had this to say about Walz's time in the Guard. Watch this. Yeah, he was in for 24 years and he quit. Well, okay, so that's what you did. But don't try to make it look like you were a command sergeant major. Don't try to make it look like you were going to some place that was in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. I mean, granted, you know, that's just all embellishment and lies to try to make things look better. Coming up, too. We've also uncovered a 2005 press release from Walz's congressional campaign, which he is quoted as saying, "As a command sergeant major, I have a responsibility not only to ready my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if I am called. I am dedicated to serving my country to the best of my ability, whether that is in Washington, D.C. or in Iraq." And again, to reiterate, he instead chose to retire, got demoted from that rank as a result, never deployed. A statement from the Harris campaign also confirms that after 24 years of military service, Walz retired in 2005 and says he will continue to be a champion for veterans should he become vice president. All right, here with the full report analysis, John Solomon, JustTheNews.com. And by the way, Minnesota National Guard veteran himself, our friend, our colleague, Fox and Friends weekend co-host, Pete Hegset, John, let's start with the news with you. What do we know? Because didn't he also say that 18 to 24 year old, that was Kamala, who said that they were stupid. And didn't he also say that 19 year olds in the guard are basically cooks. And didn't he once say that, oh, that's right. These are the weapons that I used when I was in war. Did he say that too? He did. Listen, he's sometimes a comedian, but in this case, he's a charlatan. His own official biography on the state of Minnesota government website, the governor's website falsely claimed that he retired as a command sergeant. And he was not, he retired as a master sergeant, not as a command sergeant major. That's a really big difference. The reason he retired at the lower rank is he was demoted because he didn't complete his required training and other obligations when he left the military before being deployed to Iraq. And instead he ran for Congress. If you can't get your basic record right in the military, not only are you disserving the American people, you're dishonoring veterans who had that rank or who did stay in, who did go into combat. I think it's going to become an issue that won't go away. And by the way, you were talking about the media. The hill tonight is still reporting the old story. It's still reporting other newspapers still reporting. He retired as a command sergeant major. He did not. And I think that that's important. It's on the record from the national guard. It isn't that hard for journalism to get it right. Yeah. Pete, is this a case of stolen valor as, uh, well, people he served with now claim and did he also lie about being a head coach? He did. He was an assistant coach. He was a linebackers coach, a defensive coach. That's great. That's important, but not the head coach. Uh, John Solomon is completely correct. This is a case of stolen valor. Sean, I don't say that lightly. This is a guy who ran for Congress in 2006 while his men were doing 22 months in Iraq, 22 months, the Minnesota national guard ended up doing in combat in Iraq. And you know what they can't do when they're deployed? They can't speak. So they couldn't contradict the claims he was making that he was the highest serving enlisted member ever to be elected to Congress. He retired when he was a command sergeant major, but he was actually just a sergeant major. And to keep that rank, you have to complete the sergeant major's academy, which he never did, which means when he quit, he gets demoted to E eight was a master sergeant. He knew that when he retired, he knew it when he claimed to be a command sergeant major. It was all lie. And that is absolutely stolen valor. And by the way, he likes to say he was in support of operation, enduring freedom. I deployed to Guantanamo Bay in 2004. We were not in combat. We were in support of what we're doing in Afghanistan. Cause they were sending the Taliban over. I never claimed to be in combat. Yet he all pull the tape. Let's find him, Sean. They're all over the place. He's, he's convoluting his words about whether he was in combat or not. This is all words though, Sean. Okay. I got more though. Go ahead. All right. So no, no, no. Okay. I would normally serve anybody. I would normally praise anybody that served in the guard. I normally would, but he referred to guardsmen as 19 year old cooks. And then he said, we can make sure that those weapons of war I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. This is what he said. We can do background checks. We can do CDC research. We can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among state and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons were at. Okay. Well, he never carried a war. Never. That's why he was in Italy for six months supported. That's fine. Total lie. And he knew it at the time in the entire time he was, he was the command sergeant major. He's in charge of the logistics, the training, the emotional support, the preparation for every man in his battalion, a field artillery battalion, a very important role if you're headed to Iraq. And when he got the orders and the notification that his men were going to combat, he said, I quit. I'm out. I'm done. And he had two years left. Exactly what happened. And he had two years left in his contract, but he was beyond his retirement. So he could work his way to get out of his contract, which he did. You know what the real, the real phrase is for guys that serve with Tim Walz is no, it's Tim a walls, exit questions. When his men needed him, he left, he bailed. He did not deploy. He spent 24 years in the military, Sean. You go with your men to combat if you care about those men. But if you don't, you care about yourself and politics, you stay home. And that's what Tim Walz did. And that's why so many people are frustrated and angry about this. He's Tim a walls in my book. It's interesting, uh, the lie about George W. Bush ended Dan Rather's career over a similar issue. Uh, my question is, is this stolen valor John Solomon? Listen, it's a lie to the American people. And it's a dishonor to every person who served in the ranks and actually deployed and actually had the rank of a command sergeant major. Uh, he'll have to be held accountable. The American people have to hold him accountable. Let's get the media getting reported. Pete has it exactly right. Just exit. Yes or no stolen valor Pete. Of course. Absolutely.

-The president doesn't have immunity. He or she will be nothing more than a ceremonial president, rarely having the courage to do what has to be done for our country and to make our country great again. This is not what the founders had in mind at all. This is not what they wanted to think about. This is not where they wanted us to be. The founders wanted the president to have immunity, so the president can feel free to make decisions. Hopefully, they'll be great decisions, but whether they are or not, a president of the United States has to have immunity. Thank you.

Farmers represent the very best of America. You pour your heart into this land and your soul into the soil of our nation, and you don't get the credit you deserve. You deserve fantastic credit. Under the next Trump administration, we will have a rebirth of loyalty to the American farmer and to the American flag. I will defend you on trade, and if any other country tries to take advantage of our farmers, there will be a very steep price for them to pay. I will defend you on taxes. Crooked Joe is trying to massively raise your taxes, eviscerate the Trump tax cuts, and drastically raise the estate tax or the death tax, which will obliterate family farms and destroy your way of life forever. I got you all of these things, I got you everything, and they want to take it away from you. By contrast, I will cut your taxes, I will protect the Trump tax cuts, and I will save your farms from Biden's plans for their death and destruction. I will also defend you on energy and ethanol. Joe Biden, Ron de Sanctimonious, Nikki Haley, and so many others want to kill ethanol, wiping out billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs in Iowa and other farm states. I am the only candidate in this race who will save the ethanol industry from annihilation. It will be annihilation if I don't get in. You just watch, but hopefully you won't have to. And we won't just increase ethanol production, we will export ethanol all over the world. I will also rapidly end Crooked Joe's inflation nightmare and set up a special task force to help quickly reduce the high prices of fertilizer and other farm inputs that are crushing farmers, growers, and producers. And when I say crushing, I mean crushing like never before. We've never had anything like this before. They talk about the supply chain. They talk about everything. It's actually their incompetence. These are my vows to the American farm, and no one has ever fought for you like I have. Not even close. If you remember, I got you $28 billion from China. That was a special gift to the farmers. Nobody else would have been able to do that. We are just getting started. So to the farmers of America, to everybody in America, thank you very much.
