SPEAKER 01 :
The Crawford Stand with the president of Crawford Media Group, Don Crawford.
SPEAKER 02 :
Elections 2024 are over, most thankfully for most of us Americans. The campaigns for elections began so early and lasted so long that Americans experienced election fatigue. Did you? Were you tired of it all? Were you glad it was over? Did so much of that advertising and those editorials change your mind? I doubt it. We experienced not only fatigue, but burnout and even despair. It seemed like the election season would never end. But it did, and Americans resoundingly and clearly voted Donald Trump as President of the United States and J.D. Vance as Vice President. Trump and Vance won a clear majority of the popular vote and a resounding majority of the electoral college vote as well. And now comes four more years, again, of Donald Trump in office, January 2025 through January 2029. We the people experienced four years of Trump, 2017 to 2021, and his record is rather clear. And now the question becomes, what kind of presidency will Donald J. Trump produce? What will he produce for America in his next and last four years as president? Many think Trump has changed, and for the better, not radically, but around the edges. Many believe that Trump has become more conciliatory, considerate of other people, and cooperative, even with those hostile to him. in order to make certain that he does what is right for America. Boy, I sure hope that’s the case. That would be just great for him and for us. May it be so. The main objective of a new Trump administration will be to reverse what many feel is the disastrous policies of Biden-Harris and the Democrats in the last four years. Woke has gone wild. Ah, wild. Off the charts. Progressives have ruled the day. Trump intends to reverse all of that and MAGA, M-A-G-A, make America great again. Make America great again. Boy, I sure hope that’s the case. Do you? Trump wants to restore American values as of old. Become once again a constitutional country with deep respect for the rule of law. That went away under Biden and company. Trump has promised that in this next presidency, he will drain the swamp. Those are three catchwords that really resonate, do they not? Drain the swamp. And he pledges to do a far better job of draining and dredging the Washington political swamp this time around. Boy, I hope so. The agencies and all they mean are simply out of control. My fellow Americans, we the people should hold Donald J. Trump to these promises. We should watch, and we should pray, and we should stand up and be heard if Trump breaks any of these promises. We really should. One of the most important issues is the economy. Trump has promised to curb and control inflation. Prices are out of control. We should hold him to that promise, big time. Americans are sick and tired of constantly raised prices. And then taxes. Trump has promised to lower and control taxation. He has also promised to depoliticize the Internal Revenue Service, the IRS. Boy, I hope and pray that happens. That organization, constructed to be objective, has become a weapon when needed by the progressives in Washington. That organization needs to be restructured top to bottom. Do you agree? Boy, I sure hope you do, because it’s out of control. We the people must hold Trump to that promise. Will you stand up if that does not happen? And government regulations. Trump has promised a massive deregulation cleanup in Washington. And like Ronald Reagan of old, to get government off the backs of we the people. Amen to that. Oh, we must. We must hold Donald J. Trump to that promise. And education. Trump has gone so far as to promise to do away with the Department of Education, the DOE. That department has become weaponized, politicized, and aggressively progressive. woke, transgender, Americans are sick and tired of it. We must, we must hold Trump to that promise. Ah, and the border, the border. Trump has pledged to shut down the border, to close it up, to prevent illegal immigration. He has emphatically promised to stop that. We must hold our new president to that promise without exception. It is just simply unbelievable that the Biden administration could operate in such illegal fashion, ignoring the Constitution, endangering the economy and our cities and so many of our citizens by forcing literally millions of illegal immigrants upon them and us, you and me. Trump has pledged such illegalities will stop the very first day of his presidency. We must hold him to that promise. We must. And freedom. Trump has pledged the revival of the First Amendment and its precious freedoms, protecting without abridgment and without government interference our rights as citizens to the freedom of religion and speech and press and assembly and petition, all of them. And nothing is more important to we the people, the citizens of this great country, than the absolute guarantee of the rights to and enforcement of those First Amendment freedoms. By anyone in power. But including and especially Donald J. Trump. And Israel. Israel. New President Trump has promised to support Israel. even as the Biden administration really has not. They pay lip service to that, but they don’t follow through. Trump has promised to encourage Israel to combat and defeat Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. And Trump will allow Israel to deal with Iran and any other Mideastern force which wishes the extinction of the Jewish state and all of its Jewish citizens. Trump and his administration will just simply not allow that to happen. The Trump America will stand with, work with, and supply Israel. Amen to that. And China. Oh, my soul, China. China is the most dangerous and lethal foe and enemy of the United States. It is smart, sharp, deceitful, and weaponized in so many ways. Military experts believe that there is no other course but war with China, sooner or later. And that can occur sooner. If China invades Taiwan, we are at war. And we the people pray that will not happen. But it seems inevitable, does it not? Unlike it or not, America must stand up to China. It must stand up to China And Trump has pledged to rebuild our military, all of it, and to provide America with whatever it needs to make that happen. May it be so. And more. There is much more that the Trump-Vance administration has promised we the people. And we must hold Donald J. Trump to those promises. We must. And we must watch. And we must pray. And we must stay involved, my fellow Christians and fellow Americans. We must stay involved. We must. We must hold Trump to those promises. He has promised to protect the integrity of the Supreme Court. He has promised that there will be no change to the Electoral College. We must hold him to those two promises critical to America and our constitutional existence. He has promised to drain the swamp de-fang and de-weaponize and defeat the growing power of the force of state, the agencies of the federal government. And we must hold Trump to those promises. We must. Will you do that? Will you stand up? Will you be ready to let him know he’s not doing what he told us he would? I think he will. But if he doesn’t, we need to make sure he does. Donald J. Trump will be our 47th president, and we the people must watch, pray, and not just hope, but demand the promised performance of the Trump administration. We the people voted for him with a very strong majority. Now, we the people, I hope I have repeated this ad nauseum, we the people must hold Donald J. Trump to the political promises he has made. Then, and only then, can we expect that God will bless America.
