In this political calcium, we slay the rising beast with a fatal sword of truth that transcends hypocrisy and censorship. It's time to unleash yourself from the tyrants of media propaganda on the America out loud talk radio network. This is Unleashed the Political News Hour. Welcome to Unleashed the Political News Hour. I'm your host, Ruth Robertson. I'm just going to jump right off into the show today and I'll start off by playing a clip pertinent to today's young socialist. You know, socialism has been on the rise in America and there are many young people very vocal about their support for socialism, but do they really understand it? And I don't think they really do.
And so, you know, it's more like a rise of what I call envy socialism. They seem to be very envious of anybody who's productive or is able to create wealth. And as a result, you know, while they're sitting in their mommy's basement eating hot pockets, they seek to redistribute everybody else's wealth. You know, they want everything we have, but accept our jobs. They don't want the job. They just want the stuff. So that's been my observation. And so this is a warning from the past and it's courtesy of the great Ronald Reagan. And it goes out to the Democrat Socialists of America, half of more than half of which are self-evowed communists now. And to Mayor Zoran Mondami, who is, he's also a socialist, Mayor of New York.
And Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who seems to be leading the charge. He's also from New York and Senator Bernie Sanders, of course, who's a self-evowed socialist who spent his honeymoon in Moscow of all places. And Senator Elizabeth Warren, you know, Focahontas, who lied her way into Harvard. And you know, now she's also leading the charge in our Senate. So here's the great Ronald Reagan and what he has to say about socialism. Listen in. They truly don't understand the principles. So eloquently stated by Abraham Lincoln, quote, you cannot strengthen the weaker by weakening the strong. You cannot. You cannot help. You cannot help the wager by pulling down the wage-haired.
You cannot, you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. Well that was a great Ronald Reagan, folks. And you know, don't we wish we still had him around. But you know, given that the socialists in America don't seem to know what socialism really is, I've got a couple of few great definitions that I'd like to share with you. Friedrich Hayek, who wrote the book The Road to Surfdom, which sits prominently in my library, defined socialism as the conscious direction of social forces and economic activity toward consciously chosen collective ends through central planning, the scholarly approach.
And Javier Millay of Argentina, he's the president of Argentina now. He's doing a great job down there. Defines socialism as, quote, a collectivist and criminal ideology rooted in state intervention that destroys private property, distorts the pricing system and leads to economic ruin and poverty, unquote. And of course they know a lot about economic ruin and poverty in Argentina over the last years with the paronists and everybody else. So Javier Millay is turning that around now. And then there's Jesus Huerta de Soto, who defines socialism as, quote, any system of institutional, methodical aggression and coercion against the free exercise of human entrepreneurship. So, you know, the socialists folks, they're against entrepreneurship. They envy entrepreneurship, they envy skill and ingenuity and initiative.
And so as I said, they want everything that we have, but they don't want our jobs. I don't think any of our young socialists in America could articulate it so concisely as these three men. And you know, the young socialists more and more seem to be what Vladimir Lenin of the Soviet Union, the Bolshevik leader called useful idiots. And in the wake of our nation's 250 year anniversary, I've also been thinking a lot about the comparison and contrast between the US and the colonial extractionist monarchy that we revolted against and broke away from and the relationship between our two English speaking nations ever since. I've often spoken on this show about the city of London and the stranglehold that it has had on oil, insurance, maritime trade and currency.
You know, England has been a colonizer and an extractor of important resources that they never had except through taking them from their colonies. And they've been extracting them and doing this for over 100 years and trying to exert their dominance as an empire, even though it's just a small island in the Atlantic Ocean. So now with Donald Trump and his administration, it seems as though the tentacles of that stranglehold are loosening. And it began with Trump's speeches and his visits to the UK and it began with tariffs and his stubborn insistence that the UK and the EU and Canada and others pay for their own defense because the United States has been doing all the defense heavy lifting for the rest of the world for quite some time. And you know, Trump says that we're done being the world's big dumb enforcer and protector.
Now it's time for the rest of the world to pull up their big boy pants and take care of themselves and it's time for the US to focus on Venezuela and Iran and global oil and things within our own hemisphere. So comparing the city of London with the city of Washington the other day, I started to see some stark comparisons. Under President Donald Trump, Washington is now a sparkling city, a shiny city really, everything's all cleaned up, all the graffiti and so forth. And he's cleaned up the crime-ridden graffiti riddled homeless tent city that was filled with swampy creatures. And he's cleaned up our monuments. You know, the monuments are actually gleaming now. And once again, Washington is a place worth visiting, I think.
The crime is down. The crime rates down dramatically. And you know, the way it was under Joe Biden and prior to Trump's administration, it is now approaching its former glory before those days back in the old days of Washington. The monuments are beautiful again. Crime has plummeted. As I said, homeless encampments have all been cleaned up and the streets are safe again. On the other hand, under Prime Minister Kierstharmer, who was the most recent Prime Minister, only got worse. And it got worse and worse with the invasion of all the Muslim invaders that came in. They call them refugees, but they're really just, you know, it's an invasion of military age men. And you know, because of all the problems there and all the crime and the rape and the child grooming and all these other, you know, all these other issues that they've had,
Starmor actually had to step down. Kierstharmer officially resigned as British Prime Minister on June 22, 2026, just a couple of months ago. And he officially left off as this week after losing support, of course, with his labor party and marking the beginning of a leadership contest to find his replacement and his resignation was part of a broader political crisis the country's facing, economic and political. And it's, it led to the selection of Andy Burnham as his temporary successor, but they're going to have some kind of a boat off for Prime Minister coming up. So the streets of London and the UK as a whole are not safe anymore. Muscle and grooming gangs, as I mentioned, roamed the streets looking for young girls to victimize and rape and prostitute to other Muslims.
And you know, it seems like law enforcement is turning a blind eye to it while arresting British citizens for complaining about it. You know, I'm old enough to remember when, for example, London cab drivers were so proudly English and so proud to show off the sites of their city, you know, with their little cap and their special English taxi cabs that were very roomy actually back in, in fact, and really actually fun to go there and be shuttles around in these things in London. And now it seems like the majority of drivers are not British. They don't know the city that well. And many of whom are either very, many of whom are either very sullen or they remain silent since their English isn't very fluent, if you know what I mean. Often the, you hear the Quran being recited over the cab radio as you drive and the economy has plummeted, as has tourism and unemployment has gone through the roof.
You know, good English people, even restaurant and hospitality workers have had a hard time finding a job there. And it's even worse in the former industrial cities like Leeds and Manchester and York and Liverpool and Sheffield and Birmingham. So you know, those are all working class cities that were booming during the English industrial revolution. And they were full of historic local pubs. I mean, the pubs are still there. But these historic local pubs that go back to like the 1600s and earlier. And they once buzzed and bustled with, you know, plucky sturdy factory workers and skilled local craftsmen. And you could go lift a pint with some real Englishmen if you chose to. Well, that's not so much the case anymore. The beautiful English countryside is there, but the cities have been rampaged and ravaged.
So here in the USA, you know, there's a different thing going on. And I think some people still don't get it. And they're sort of scratching their heads wondering what President Trump is really doing by renaming our lakes and the renaming Lake Ontario, Lake of America and renaming the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America and all this stuff. To some people, it seems kind of petty. But, you know, I think there's a method method to all of this. And he's trying to shore up the American hemisphere of the world. And we're pulling back and pulling surrounding ourselves with allies in our own hemisphere and creating new ones. So let me tell you what I see. I see people asking why President Trump is fighting with Canada, why he's dealing with Venezuela, using tariffs and talking so much about energy.
Well, these are all very fair questions. But when people are paying more for gas and groceries and electricity, you know, I guess, you know, they become naturally worried about what's going on today, right? You know, about right now, let's say in their lives. I understand that because I'm paying those bills too. But if we only look at the headlines and we only look at the prices in the supermarket and at the gas pumps, we're going to miss the biggest part, I think, of what Donald Trump is trying to achieve here. You know, remember Bill Clinton and Bush's new world order? Well, after we leave for the break, I'm going to discuss that with you. And we'll get back to that right after this message, right off these messages from our sponsors. So please stay with us. Are you tired of struggling with low energy? We get it.

Now, never before has our American cultural, economic, spiritual and political fabric been more threat-bare. But the America most of us have drawn up with and lost under a relentless and pernicious
siege from those carrying the banners of socialism, communism and Marxism. America out loud.news is the antidote to these poisons and his own. America out loud.news is that place to awaken your heart, soul and mind to the out loud truth. Welcome back to Unleashed Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your host, Bruce Robertson, and before I left for the break, I was talking about how I think people, if they don't understand what Trump is trying to do, they're going to miss the biggest part and the most important part. I said, you know, I wanted people to remember Clinton and Bush's New World Order comments because they both made them. I think Obama even made some comments about the New World Order. These guys were all sort of incahoods about this globalist New World Order.
Well, you know, for more than 30 years, presidents from both parties have sort of deliberately managed America's slow decline in my opinion. And we got a taste of what that might look like during the Clinton administration a little bit and during the Obama administration and the credit crisis during Obama's presidency and the COVID scam. And when Biden's pull up bureau, shadow government was running the country while Joe took a nap and Hunter took bribes. So the only way that the New World Order would work, I think, according to them, is for them to hollow out America and build up the rest of the world. And for a while, that's exactly what they seem to be doing. Over decades, the globalists here and abroad helped send our factories to China, made us
dependent on OPEC for oil and allowed foreign countries to largely control the minerals that we needed to run our economy. You know, some I conducted manufacturing went to Taiwan, electronics manufacturing went to China, you know, a lot of the stuff for the green, New Deal, the solar panels and windmill manufacturing went to China. And you know, it really gutted our economy when we should have been booming under all that stuff. Now they called it free trade. And certainly the labor is cheaper in those places. You can't deny that, right? But there was nothing free about America losing millions of good paying high paying heavy industry jobs while China grew richer and more powerful and then turned around and used that money to influence our politicians and undermine this country.
President Trump is the first president in my lifetime who looked at that entire system and said, it has to stop. We're not doing this anymore. And he's not just trying to lower gas prices next month, okay? He's rebuilding America so no foreign country can hold us hostage and undermine us at the same time like China and England have done for so many years. And he's doing it so the established new level that established American system, taking back the American system will last for the next 50 to 100 years. I mean, we've really been functioning under the British system all these years. And the British system, you know, has not served us well. It's functioned under Keynesian economics and that's British and you know, the Britain
has controlled the oil in the Middle East significantly through British petroleum in Iran, formerly Persia. That used to be, BP used to be the British Persian oil company. I don't know if you knew that. But you know, then it became BP and people called it British petroleum. So they kind of hid the Persian side, but they were still controlling what's going on in Iran and it served them to have unrest in the Middle East while they were extracting all the goods and the resources from the Middle East. But it put a stranglehold on us and oil prices and commodities prices and currency prices were pretty much controlled by the London commodities exchange, you know, in the city of London. The city of London is a separate entity from the British government. So you know, we have been sort of under that stranglehold and Trump's administration now is negotiating deals, one of which could give the United States an ownership stake in
more than a dozen Venezuelan oil fields holding around 90 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. So if that's completed, it can more than double America's oil reserves. And we've got to build some new infrastructure. We've got to get some new refineries online, but we are better suited to refine that oil than any other time in our history. We used to refine it before we had to put embargoes on Venezuela. So here's a reality flash. All that cheap oil when it comes online will not likely reach your gas tank next to it next week. Okay, it's going to be a while. Socialism destroyed Venezuela's oil industry and rebuilding it is going to take a few years and billions of dollars to make it right again because Chavez and Maduro, the former presidents of Venezuela and their flunkies, destroyed the nation's morale, you know, Venezuela's
morale and their infrastructure. They were just milking it. And Cuba and the Castro regime have done the same in Cuba. So President Trump is thinking past the next election and planning for the future of our children and grandchildren and his as well. And the fight with Canada, this is much more than just a few tariffs, folks. Canada has a lot of oil shale, mostly in Alberta. And they also have some of the world's largest supplies of uranium, which is needed for nuclear power. And they also have pot ash, which is needed to make fertilizer to grow food. At the same time, Canada secretly has been buying Chinese steel and passing it off as a product of Canada to try and bypass our tariffs and sell it back to us. You know, we have tariffs on Chinese goods and we gave Canada favorite nation status
and didn't have so much tariffs on our goods. And they were selling us Chinese steel as Canadian steel and bypassing the tariffs system that we had on China. So who are they favoring? They were favoring China, not us. And they've been sending uranium and pot ash to China as well. And they've been doing this all the while, expecting to maintain full access to our desirable American market. Now President Trump is telling Canada it can't have it both ways. You can't expect all the benefits of being America's closest trading partner while helping the strengthen our communist Chinese enemies. Canada must choose which side it's on or they're going to fill. That's my opinion. The Canadian economy lost 51,000 jobs last quarter and that's a ton of jobs for Canada. And Bank of Canada just told the Prime Minister that if they don't get their act together
fast, they could lose the entire Canadian automobile industry. And that would be a big loss. That's a major reason behind this trade fight. The tariffs are leverage. It's not the final goal. Canada depends heavily on the American market and cannot replace it. President Trump holds the much stronger hand in this situation. And I really think that we will win if the Republicans stand behind him and give him the time he needs to finish the job. And that means you and me folks, we have to stand behind the President. We might not like everything he does, but on balance, he's doing the things for the nation. So now let's look at the whole map. The United States has oil. It has natural gas. It has technology. It has aerospace, farmland, manufacturing. And the manufacturing base is now growing because of Trump's tariffs.
Canada has uranium, potash, and you know, the car industry that's probably going to, they're going to lose. They could lose it and they have maple syrup and poutine. Gvennis well has oil. Argentina has cattle and lithium. Chile has Bolivia, Chilean Bolivia have lithium. Brazil has cattle, iron, rare earth minerals, and farmland. Mexico has manufacturing capacity, farming capacity, plenty of labor, and the best to kill on the earth. So the Western hemisphere as a whole, this American hemisphere has almost everything we need to sustain ourselves, to fuel ourselves, to feed ourselves, to build our own goods, and to defend ourselves without the need to beg China, Iran, Russia, or OPEC for that matter
for anything. And that's what President Trump is really building here. He doesn't want us to be beholden to anybody outside our sphere of influence. He's building an American hemisphere where Iran or OPEC can't hold us over a barrel of oil and raise the price of every gallon of gas by threatening one shipping lane or cutting production like they did to Jimmy Carter in the 70s when we had gas lines. China cannot shut down our factories by withholding critical minerals anymore because we've got access to minerals in our own hemisphere. Now that America will soon be in control of more than half the world's oil and gas, other nations won't be able to control our economy by cutting oil productions or other supplies. You know, with Iran going on, with a standoff in the Gulf of Hormuz, 8,000 miles away,
it may still be a tragedy, but it shouldn't become an American family's tragedy and it shouldn't cost them their mortgage payment. Our young people should be working good paying jobs and good American factories and technology companies in mines and refineries and home building and all that great stuff, instead of carrying rifles off into the world to another endless war overseas. And I think that's what Trump's aiming at. I'm not telling you that every decision will be painless so that everything will happen exactly as planned or perfectly. No honest person can promise that. There's a lot of unknown variables in the world, right? And things can happen. But I'm telling you that there is a much bigger plan at work than the mainstream fake news media is admitting or explaining. It took more than 30 years to hollow out America.
President Trump cannot rebuild it in just 18 months to two years. Companies take time to build. Oil fields take time to restore. Supply chains take time to open up and bring the goods home. So this is why the midterm elections folks I believe are so important. If Democrats take control of Congress in the midterms, they will not spend their time helping President Trump lower oil prices or rebuild America or lower consumer prices through more supply. They're going to block his agenda. They're going to stand in his way. They're going to fight his energy and trade policies. They're going to go back to green new deal energy deals that are futile and useless. They're going to launch endless investigations and law fair and lawsuits and start another impeachment circus. And we can't afford to have that.
We're on the right track right now. And what will happen then? Well, then China, Iran, OPEC and the globalists of the World Economic Forum and the EU and the city of London who's had a stranglehold on us for so many years since the war of 1812 pretty much. You know, they're going to just sit back and wait for President Trump's time to run out and run out the clock while Democrats tie his hands up here. And they'll back them. They'll support them financially to do that. We just can't let that happen, folks. And that's why I'm here to say voting Republican in the midterms is crucial. It doesn't mean every Republican is perfect. It doesn't mean everyone is exactly the person that you want in office, okay? It's not about that. They're not. Most of them are not. Many of them are not. It doesn't matter. What it means is deciding whether we give President Trump the time and the support he needs
to finish turning America around or whether we decide to hand Congress back to the very people who helped create this mess in the first place. So I'm telling you now, folks, vote in the midterms like President Trump's name is on the ballot and if you don't like him, vote for him anyway because everything that he's building is on that ballot and everything he's building is better for you and your children and your grandchildren. America first is not just a slogan. It's a long-term plan to make America stronger, more independent, and impossible to hold hostage ever again. And to reinforce that, I'd like to give you a midterm review of how our nation is doing under President Trump. If you only listen to the media and his detractors in the media and much of the mainstream media voices, the talking heads, so to speak, they'd have you believe that he's really done nothing
and in large part has done more harm than good. That seems to be the message that's believed by those who have a television between their ears instead of a brain between their ears and they're willing to believe whatever they see on television. And television is a propaganda network. It's turned into a propaganda arm of the left and the Democrat Party. So you're not getting the whole message there. You have to look deeper for your news and that's why we have America out loud news now. That's why I'm doing this unleashed broadcast because we provide the alternative to all that propaganda. It's appalling how deep the brainwashing and Trump derangement syndrome goes. And I see it every day. So here are Trump's top 25 achievements.
And I'm not going to be able to get through them all before the break, but I'll continue after the break. But here's Trump's top 25 achievements. The list that every conservative should know and use and they should tell others. You know, he made number one, he made the border a real border again. In a matter of months, Trump reduced the illegal border crossings to their lowest level in half a century. The catch and release program is finished. Instead, the wall is going up and even being expanded. The remaining Mexico policy is back, which means that they can't just come across the border. They have to stay in Mexico. And the administration reduced releases into the country by an incredible 99.9%. Just by making anybody who comes to the Mexican border seeking to come across, they have to remain in Mexico. Especially if that's the first country they set foot in after they left their own home
country. He also reversed mass migration. And America recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in at least 50 years. So far nearly 3 million illegal aliens have left the country either voluntarily or involuntarily. That's 3 million. More than 675,000 of them were forcibly deported and the rest of them self-deported. Many of those self deportations were facilitated by the president's initiative program offering plain tickets and cash bonuses for illegals to get out of the country, not only incentivizing good behavior, but significantly reducing the net cost of deportations. It's a good deal for everybody. Citizenship and the law actually mean something again. And listen, he signed the Lincoln Riley Act and required detention of criminal illegal
aliens. You know who Lincoln Riley was? She was the innocent girl murdered by an illegal alien and the Lincoln Riley Act requires federal authorities to detain illegal arrested for theft, burglary, shoplifting, assaulting the police or any crime causing death or serious injury to an American citizen or anyone else. It also lets states sue officials who refuse to enforce the Lincoln Riley Act. And then he presided over our history's biggest drop in violent crime and this whole deportation thing is part of that, right? We have a little crime for the reason. We have less illegals coming into the country. We had a crime problem mostly because of illegals and the importation of illegal drugs. We now have the lowest crime rate in 126 years according to the FBI. Violent crime in America has dropped by an incredible 9.7% in 2025.
That's the largest one-year decline in our nation's history since it's been measured. Murders fell 18.1%. Robbery's fell 18.5%. And America's violent crime rate is at its lowest since 1900. I don't think that Kierstarmers, England, can boast the same numbers. And now I'm going to jump to a break and we'll be right back with more hard-hitting news about the top 25 accomplishments of Donald Trump here on Unleashed, the Political News Hour. Stay with us.

Unleashed the Political News Hour with your host, Ruth Robertson. And before we left for the break, I was discussing how America's violent crime rate is now at its lowest since 1900. And that, my friends, is phenomenal. You know, this is what happens when you push to relax gun laws and stand your ground laws and castle laws and let Americans defend themselves. And you put ice out in the streets, getting illegal aliens off the streets and back to their home countries. And you put the National Guard out in the streets and crime-ridden blue cities to shape things up and stop with the violent protests. And you know what the result is that you get fewer victims, safer streets, and better futures for America's poorest and most vulnerable, as well as for the rest of us.
So I was going down the list of Trump's big accomplishments. Now here's another one. He met the 2017 tax cuts permanent and he made them better. The one big, beautiful bill locked in the largest tax cut in modern history, including doubling the standard deduction, expanding the child tax credit, and allowing for 100% expensing for factories and equipment. It also delivered no tax on tips for waiters and restaurants and anybody who gets tips, no tax on overtime, which is a big deal, an abolition of most taxes on Social Security benefits, and that benefits major relief, that gives major relief to our senior citizens. You know that every Democrat in Congress voted no on those issues? With the 2017 Act set to expire in December 2025, if they won, it would have resulted in
the largest tax hike in American history on American people. It would have been a huge setback for the economy, also, which is exactly what they wanted. They wanted to stick Trump with a huge setback. Might have put us in a recession. So Trump also repealed 129 regulations, listen to this, 129 regulations were repealed for every new one that was passed. In fiscal 2025, federal agencies finalized 646 total deregulatory actions and just five regulatory actions. 129 to 1 and nearly in every case, the one that they passed was the one that repealed the others. Okay. So the savings on just that exceeded those of Trump's entire first term.
You know that's more freedom, less red tape, lower costs, better environment for business and individuals and workers, and less bureaucratic sabotage through the system. Of these, of all of these, the crown jewel was the repeal of Obama's 2009 endangerment finding, which is the legal foundation for the green new scams, vehicle mandates. The EPA calls this the largest deregulatory action in American history. And it estimates that by itself, it'll save Americans more than $1.3 trillion over time. Trump also killed the federal electronic vehicle mandate. He restored America's freedom by doing this to buy the cars and trucks that they actually want, not forcing them to buy electric vehicles that have limited range. And even eliminated, he eliminated the incentives behind that almost universally hated starts
stop button in your car. Don't you hate that thing? I hate mine. I can't wait till the cars don't have those anymore. He also secured $18 trillion in announced investment commitments from domestic and foreign investors. That's nearly two thirds the size of the entire American economy. And the money's going to be used to build American factories, chip plants, data centers. I know that's a controversial subject, but we already have hundreds of data centers across the country. And if we don't have them, China is going to have them. Energy projects, steel mills, shipyards, logistics, and supply chains employing more American workers. Now, Apple, Meta, Nvidia, Micron, Hyundai, US Steel, Ford, Taiwan, semiconductor, and many other companies and sovereign wealth funds like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and
the others are betting big on Trump's America. And it's just getting started, folks. Just getting started. So he made also he made reshoring and reindustrialization real, not just a slogan. You know, everybody says we're going to bring back manufacturing. Trump's actually doing it. Ford is moving Lincoln production out of China. Toyota is shifting Tacoma production from Mexico to Texas. General Motors, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Dolantis, and others are expanding their US production. And it looks like the Canadian manufacturing business might be moving back to the United States pretty soon too. If Canada continues, their current policy trajectory. Just they're making it hard for those companies to stay in Canada. The capital equipment that's pouring into the country is the machinery that's going to build the growing boom in America.
He also replaced lopsided trade deals with balanced reciprocal trade. Trump used tariffs brilliantly as leverage to reverse 80 years of lopsided trade deals that favored everybody but America. And he used it to win new or approved agreements with our training partners accounting for more than half of global GDP. Those agreements open foreign markets. They attack non-tariff barriers. They defend strategic industries and they make it more profitable to build in America than to export American jobs. And he shifted global energy dominance from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of America and the Western hemisphere. Once the world's largest energy importer, we were importing more energy than exporting. We are exporting now 700 billion a year.
And America now produces Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. And the U.S. is also setting new records in oil, natural gas and liquid natural gas exports, becoming the first country ever to export more than 100 million metric tons of liquid natural gas in one year. Trump also opened land, accelerated drilling permits and contracts. He expanded pipelines and port terminals, export terminals for oil and energy. And he made American energy a tool for prosperity and peace, as well as giving us leverage over those who had normally tried to get leverage over us. After four decades of nuclear paralysis, Trump brought five new reactors online in one single year. And for more than 40 years, not one new privately developed, non-light water reactor reached critical operational viability in America.
So that's a big deal. Trump ordered at least three by July 4th of 2026, just this past July. But the Department of Energy was able to deliver four by the deadline and then a fifth just last month. So we're ahead of schedule on our nuclear development and getting online with nuclear power. And Trump also made elections matter again. He broke the deep state's power to defy the elected branches. In the case of Trump versus slaughter, the Supreme Court ruled for the first time in 90 years that Article 2, Section 1, is still part of the Constitution. And the president can fire subordinate officials in the executive branch, which overturns the 1935 Franklin Roosevelt precedent that insulated independent, unelected agencies from voter control. In other words, he can fire whoever he wants now. Ever wonder why the elections often seemed to change nothing when we elected a new president?
How about one president and 5,000 political appointees fighting 2.8 million, unfireable, unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats who think they run the country? That's literally a deep state right there, folks. Trump then made that victory real for the first time in a century. All policy-making bureaucrats can now be fired from misconduct and competence or defying lawful directives from the president. The permanent bureaucracy no longer gets to veto the voters or persecute the whistleblowers. How about that? He ended nationwide injunction abuse as well in Trump versus Casza. The Supreme Court sharply limited nationwide injunctions. Those are when a single local district judge should not be able to block a national policy for everyone everywhere. And yet that's exactly what they've been doing, nonstop ever since Trump and only Trump
took office in 2017. This is only during Trump that they started doing this. You had judges that were issuing injunctions nationwide injunctions and they can't do federal injunction. They're not federal judges. They don't have jurisdiction over the whole country. In restricting that unconstitutional power, the Supreme Court and Trump kneecapped the Black robe bureaucracy's favorite tool, unlawful judicial supremacy. These lower-level judges were legislating from the bench and they had no power to do it. And the Supreme Court agreed. He shut down USAID. This is a big one. USAID was a left-wing slush fund and shadow government operating on its own. They were money laundering all around the world. USAID had become a taxpayer-funded machine out of control and they were exporting abortion to foreign countries and paying for it with taxpayer money, gender ideology, censorship,
left-wing politics. USAID had a bigger budget than the CIA and the State Department combined. They had absolutely no accountability whatsoever and they had a pension for overthrowing foreign governments and possibly even our own. Well, Trump terminated it completely and he moved real humanitarian aid, which USAID was proposed and purported to be doing, which they weren't fully doing, under the State Department. Immediately listen to this. Immediately after he pulled the plug on USAID 7, Socialist Latin American governments and their Socialist leaders lost re-election. Satokou Incidents? No. USAID was probably funding their campaigns. He also shrank federal employment to its lowest level in 60 years and that's a big deal. Because even though he wants to expand employment in the private sector, our government has
gotten bloated and way too big. So he's got a double balance to do here. He's got a lower federal employment and he's got an increased private employment. And you wonder why unemployment numbers are where they are now? I mean, the fact that we have any employment growth at all is attribute to what he's been doing. Because he's firing a lot of federal workers at the same time. And he's deporting people. So from a high under Biden, the federal workforce is now at its smallest since 1966. Can you believe that? Workforce reductions, agency closures, spending cancellations, it all means fewer bureaucrats are paid to resist the voters will. And that's exactly what they've been doing. You know, these public employee unions are against us for the most part. They're against the tax paying citizen. What's more, when Biden left office, 94% of federal employees work from home.
The Trump administration cracked down as Elon Musk put it, you can work from the office and come into work or you can go pretend to work somewhere else. How about that? He also expelled Trump did. He expelled DEI from the federal government. Diversity, equity and inclusion is no longer a policy of the US government. Trump eliminated federal DEI offices and he barred, race and sex-based preferences across the executive branch. Government hiring and contracting are returning to merit-based hiring and equality-based hiring under the law, ending the grotesque Democrat idea that fighting discrimination requires the federal government to discriminate. He also delivered sweeping pro-life reform, and this is a great one for the pro-life crowd, in his first term.
President Trump delivered the judges that overturned the abominable Roe v. Wade. Hardly anybody believed that could be done, but he got it done. They didn't believe that Trump would do it, but he did do it. And a half a century nightmare has finally ended, and more babies will live as a result of it. Since returning to office, Trump has enforced the Hyde amendment also, prohibiting the use of federal funds to pay for any abortions. And he reinstated and expanded the Mexico City policy, prohibiting federal funding of foreign abortions. Creating federal fetal tissue research and strengthening conscience protections and protected Medicaid from funding large abortion providers, and pardoned 23 pro-life activists that were persecuted by Joe Biden's weaponized justice department. He's also done everything within the executive branch's power to defund planned parenthood.
It would be very nice if Congress did likewise. You know, no president has ever done more to protect human life, no one. He got men and a woman's sports as well, and he restored biological reality to federal policy. The U.S. government, once again, officially recognizes now two sexes, male and female. Trump ended federal support for the chemical and surgical gender mutilation of children. He stopped taxpayer funding of such irreversible abominations and forced more than three dozen health systems to end or suspend their programs as well. Trump also enforced Title IX as written, women and girls deserve their own teams, their own trophies, their own scholarships, and their own locker rooms. The NCAA and other athletic organizations immediately changed their rules and response.
After years of Democrats doing everything they could to undermine and destroy women's sports and ruin girls' lives, Trump's administration protects women and girls again. He enacted America's first nationwide school choice program as well, and he launched Trump accounts as part of the president's one big beautiful bill. Trump enacted America's first ever nationwide school choice program. The new education freedom tax credit helps fund scholarships for tuition, books, and other educational costs. That's on top of the new accounts, the Trump accounts, which give every child a tax-free, tax advantage rather stake in America's future. That includes seeding separate accounts with $1,000 for eligible newborns. So you have a baby. If your baby is eligible, they get $1,000 from the US government as a starting off gift to grow for them toward education and American's future.
It's an investible gift for the future. You know, parents gain the power. Bureaucracy is losing it. He's taking the power away from the bureaucracy and giving it back to the people. That's what he said he was going to do. Promises made, promises kept. In children, a learning firsthand about free markets and future orientation, they're getting a future that they can look forward to. He targeted anti-Christian bias and discrimination as well. He created the White House Faith Office, Religious Liberty Commission, and Task Force to eradicate anti-Christian biases. He also restored conscience protections, and he made clear that Christians do not surrender to their First Amendment rights merely by entering into public life. He forced NATO to stop freeloading and force them to increase their defense spending by 250%. That's a big one. For decades, the wealthy European governments underfunded their militaries, effectively sending America in the bill and using American taxpayers to subsidize their bloated welfare states.
Trump forced NATO to replace its old 2% of GDP spending guidelines on defense, which they were never meeting, by the way. He forced them to change that to an enormous jump to 5% of GDP by 2035, and they all agreed to it. They had no choice. Allied spending is also rising. American defense orders are soaring, and Europe is becoming a partner instead of a dependent. We make the best stuff, and Europe, and the rest of the world wants it, but they're not going to get it for free. They have to buy it. He also drove China out of the Caribbean, and this is a big deal. China spent years building strategic Belt and Road initiatives at both ends of the Panama Canal in Cuba and in Maduro's Venezuela. Trump forced Panama out of China's Belt and Road initiative and expanded American security
access around the Panama Canal and captured Maduro, who now sits in a New York jail awaiting trial. Beijing's planned surrounding of our country has been broken. The Monroe Doctrine is back, and I call it the Don Road Doctrine. That's all we've got. We're out of time, folks. Stay here with us.
