President Trump's new National Security Strategy drives major changes at home and abroad. Immigration enforcement has reshaped the country, with border encounters at 60-year lows, over two million deportations in eleven months, and millions of visa and asylum cases frozen. Democrats fight the White House in court as Trump calls for expanding denaturalization efforts, including cases like Rep. Ilhan Omar. Federal downsizing accelerates, DEI programs face funding cuts, and the Pentagon prepares to process critical minerals on US military bases.
Abroad, the Administration escalates pressure on Venezuela with the dramatic seizure of a sanctioned oil tanker, pushes Mexico to deliver overdue treaty water or face tariffs, and backs a conservative candidate in Honduras as elections tighten. Nicaragua faces new penalties for helping funnel migrants to the US border. In Asia, China falls short on soybean purchases, Ford receives rare earth magnet approvals, and Trump allows Nvidia to sell certain chips to China to maintain leverage. Fighting erupts again between Thailand and Cambodia despite recent US-brokered peace.
In Europe, Trump urges Ukraine to negotiate land concessions and rebukes European leaders for failing to deliver meaningful support. And in Africa, the US prepares a billion-dollar investment in Congo's rail network to secure minerals, even as conflict reignites in the region.
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

| 0:22.2 | I've got a special headline brief for you this morning, all built on that new Trump National Security Strategy that we covered on Tuesday, |

| 0:34.8 | Although, first, just a big hearty thanks for all the kind notes of support yesterday |
| 0:39.4 | after the very, very odd computer issues this week and a car that somehow lost its brakes. |
| 0:46.2 | Anyway, with gratitude, I say to everybody, thank you. |
| 0:48.9 | And onward, we got to go. |
| 0:51.3 | We've got a country to talk about and a world to cover, as I will, I think, start |

| 1:13.2 | Act shows, a News Nation reported yesterday that this White House effort over the past 11 months |

| 1:23.2 | down at least 90 percent from the highs of the Joe Biden era and the lowest since the 1960s. |
| 1:28.6 | Meanwhile, the gotaways, they do continue to be a problem at about 1,300 per month, |
| 1:33.0 | but compare that to when Democrats were in charge at 40,000 a month. |
| 1:37.6 | That is a 39,000 person difference per month, every month for years. |
| 1:43.0 | And people, of course, pouring into this country |
