But first, let’s turn our attention back
to that Christmas strike on ISIS
terrorists. President Trump writing on
Truth Social, quote, “I have previously
warned these terrorists that if they did
not stop the slaughtering of Christians,
there would be hell to pay.” And
tonight, there was. For more, let’s
welcome in GOP political strategist and
insider and host of the Grassroots
Truthcast podcast, Gene Valentino, along
with Republican strategist and attorney
Manny Alejandro. Good morning,
gentlemen. Hope you had a wonderful
holiday. Gan, I’ll start with you. This
was a major move from the president and
Secretary of War Pete Hexath says
there’s more to come if the slaughtering
of Christians continues. So, what’s your
reaction to these surprise strikes?
Well, uh, over 12,000 killed in various
violent groups, uh, this year alone.
It’s, um, it’s genocide in its own
right. It’s also the enemy. We have the
enemy from within. We also have the
external enemy of Russia and China
moving closer to the American border.
Just another example of foreign forces
trying to uh take control of weaker
nations to improve their resources and
supply uh to uh strengthen their ability
to come after America uh in a um in a
formidable way in the years ahead. Uh
I’m glad to see we’re stepping it up.
Yeah, President Trump is very much so
stepping it up. Religious freedom is so
important, but religious persecution has
become a priority for the president to
address. And he chose Christmas Day to
send the clear message that violence
against Christians, it will not be
tolerated. So Manny, what do you think
about his choosing Christmas as a way to
send this message?
Good morning. I I think it’s extremely
important that the president did this.
Nigeria is a very important strategic
partner for the United States in Africa.
And I think the message is clear from
the president. The buck stops here. He
will not tolerate any religious
persecution of Christians. And it’s a
it’s significantly important for the
Americans and President Trump to
reinforce the principles of America in
defending religious freedoms and enforce
that in ways in which the Islamic State
needs to be put on warning that we will
not tolerate this behavior whatsoever.
Exactly. Well, the president was busy
yesterday. He does not rest and he had
quite a lot to say on Truth Social
throughout the holiday. over 100 posts,
including this one, where he wishes a
merry Christmas to all, even the quote
sleazags who love Jeffrey Ebstein, only
to drop him like a dog when things got
too hot, and then blamed President
Donald J. Trump, who was actually the
only one who did drop Estee and long
before it became fashionable to do so.
He ended it, he ended this truth social
by saying, quote, “Enjoy what may be
your last merry Christmas.” Jean, we
never have to guess what President Trump
is actually thinking about something. I
also love it when he sometimes says,
“Merry Christmas to the losers and the
haters.” It’s the best.
Yeah. Yeah. Don’t blink. You’ll miss a
chapter with Donald Trump. He’s he’s
he’s um just as Christmas Eve, Christmas
Day, we were surprised with this the
timing, I should say, of this surprise
attack on Nigeria, so too will he
surprise us again on matters related to
Epstein. Uh and several other issues
that are on his plate. Uh part of his
success is that he is diverting and
deflecting attention away from the news
headline to the issues of importance to
America, but doing it in such a way
where uh it’s not on it’s not on your
headline uh before it even happens.
Exactly. Well, in a very stark contrast
here, meanwhile, the former president
Joe Biden, he celebrated with his
family, and you have to see this photo
that was posted. Not only is he out of
the Oval Office, but it seems like he’s
out of the family, too. Manny, um I
mean, where is Joe? That was always the
question we were asking during his
administration. And here Hunter is front
and center. Your thoughts?
He’s missing an action again.
Yeah,
his presidency was on autopilot. Not
only on with the auto pen, but
completely on autopilot. Thank God for
President Trump. Thank God President
Trump got reelected. Imagine if there
was another term of Joe Biden and we had
auto pens and everything else going on
with this conflict uh with Nigeria with
everything going on domestically. I
could only imagine how terrible things
would be. Inflation would be out of
control. Talking about the Affordable
Care Act, talking about all the other
issues that are fundamentally important
to Americans today, the kitchen table
issues, right? Imagine how things would
be if Biden was still president or
Camela Harris for that matter.
Uh yes, I would agree with that
sentiment. Gene, I have to get your
reaction to this photo, especially
Hunter Biden front and center there.
Yeah, I I couldn’t agree more with what
Manny just said, except the darn auto
pen wasn’t used for Hunter. there was if
there was any cognition with this former
president. Uh he was smart enough to
sign the pardon for his son in his own
handwriting the without an auto pen. But
it’s been a debacle since day one.
Everyone knows it. I don’t know which is
worse, what what Biden did uh as our
president or the people around him that
conspired to cover up his wrongdoing.
Yeah. And especially with Hunter there,
he’s coming out going against his family
and giving hours long interviews,
cursing and the like. But how about
another bizarre Christmas message, this
time from Minnesota Governor Tim Walsh
and his daughter’s hope. Let’s take a
listen.
Well, I just wanted to say Merry
Christmas to you all. Um, today I am
holding all of our neighbors that ICE
has been terrorizing near and dear to my
heart and sending them love and light as
well as all of our unhoused folks. This
past year has been a tough one for all
of us, but I am so proud of the work
that I have done in this awesome
community and everything that you guys
do every day. Um, and yeah, happy
holidays. So Manny, this is his
daughter, Hope, and this comes amid her
dad trying to defend himself amid the
massive amounts of fraud from the Somali
illegal migrants in the state. Nearly
100 mayors now from across the state
actually signing a letter demanding
accountability. I would say the whole
family might be worried about what has
been going on here. Your thoughts?
First of all, Tim Walls is a low IQ
individual. President Trump is
absolutely correct in how he categorizes
Tim Waltz. He’s not a member of Mensah.
Let’s just put it at that. But
nonetheless, imagine the daughter of the
governor calling ICE terrorist. I mean,
imagine a stark contrast. We know what
terrorists are. We’re talking about the
terrorism in Nigeria and we’re calling
ICE terrorist. What a joke. This is
absolutely pathetic. Tim Walls is in
serious trouble. This is the biggest
fraud, if not one of the biggest frauds
in US history. We need to get to the
bottom of this. We need some serious
department of justice investigation. I I
know I know COMR is looking into it, but
we need some serious investigation here
and figure out what’s going on and put a
stop to the bleeding.
Yeah. And Secretary of the Treasury as
well, Scott Besson, he’s looking into
it, too. So, I think there will be
accountability on the horizon. But thank
you, Gene Valentino and Manny Alejandro.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you. Throughout history, the
spirit of patriotism has prevailed. The
battles may have changed, but the values
remain the same. Today, in 2024, we find
ourselves at a pivotal moment where the
call for unity, freedom, and a better
future echoes louder than ever.
