Live from the no panic zone—I’m Steve Gruber—I am America’s Voice— I am a man on a mission to make this nation better—and yes I am proud to say I believe in America First—

 

Here are three big things you need to know know right now–

  

ONE— Joe Biden will not be attending the funeral of the former Pope Benedict the 16th—it seems the Pope made it clear—not to invite the man in The White House—hmmmm—

 

TWO— The Fed may be ready to jack up interest rates once again—that is the takeaway from the December minutes that have been released—I will tell you what that means—

 

THREE— Former President Donald Trump called for unity behind California Congressman Kevin McCarthy—and suddenly nobody cared and nothing changed—instead the number of those voting against the embattled Republican leader grew—

 

It has to make you wonder if the influence of the man running for a third term has waned— his endorsements leading up to the past few elections have carried serious weight—BUT that appears to not be the case any more— 

 

I mean those pushing back include some staunch supporters over the years and people he has openly supported in elections and other times—members of Congress like Matt Gaetz of Florida—and Lauren Boebert of Colorado—not to mention members like Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Andy Biggs of Arizona—

 

Congressman Gaetz took it one step further on Wednesday—and called the endorsement by Trump, Sad! A clear shot at one of the former Presidents catch phrases—

But it appears this battle for the heart of the Republican Party and the GOP is much bigger and more significant than some people realized—

 

With a block of 21 Republicans not only saying no to supporting McCarthy—BUT saying they will never support him and that he will never be speaker—just like they have been saying for weeks now—it looks like McCarthy will not emerge as the House leader—or ever get the gavel—

 

It’s the first time since 1923 that a Speaker has not been selected on the first ballot—

 

And let me be clear—I think this is a good thing—I am with the dozens of heavyweight conservatives that do not support McCarthy—and instead—support a robust debate on who will get the gavel—

 

In fact, I am a big fan of Florida Congressman Byron Donalds—who was nominated and picked up 20 votes in the 5th and 6th votes—

 

Though most observers say Donalds has no chance—I say that’s too bad!

 

Its too bad that in order to become Speaker—or get whatever other assignment you want—its based on longevity and not on talent and ability—it makes the Congress sound more like it runs on a union mentality and not the meritocracy that America has always run on in the past—

 

I think Donalds who is entering his second term, is in his early forties with a great story and a background in finance—and a fierce presence on TV is the perfect kind of leader for a new wave of conservatism—the fact that he is black is another bonus—because as I have said on this program for a long time now—the new face of conservatism in America—is black and brown—as more and more traditional Democrats reject the status quo and search for a new political home—HOW better to do that and set the tone for the future than to put an eloquent, articulate, incredibly bright black man on the floor as the Speaker of the House? Talk about turning the tide—and getting millions of black and Hispanic Americans to re-think their entire political identity—you could not find a more effective person to pull that off than Byron Donalds— I personally think he is a Rock Star—but alas—he has not been in the club long enough to get the nod from the old fools from the old school—

 

Meanwhile—it is important for America to see that Republicans are truly interested in fighting for what is best for this nation and its people—sure the Democrats are jeering from the cheap seats about how the GOP is in disarray and how they cannot govern—and I say that is not at all what you are seeing—

 

In fact the 20 rebels—are demanding new leadership that won’t cave to every Democrat demand—and spend money we don’t have over and over again in 5,000 page bills that no one has even read—the block of 20 will also prevent any Democrat from ascending to the throne of power as some are suggesting could happen—it won’t—

 

I am thrilled to see people that are willing to fight for this nation and that are willing to put their political futures and fortunes on the line—to demand change, accountability and for once real transparency—none of which would have ever come from Mitch McConnell’s lapdog McCarthy—

 

Politics can be messy—especially when the old guard is getting tossed out—and make no mistake that is happening right now—the gravy train has been run of the tracks by a bunch of radicals that have the nerve to believe America First actually means something—

 

Its about time somebody stood up and said no! Its about time somebody stood up and said we have done these same old things over and over again long enough!

 

I have no idea where this is going to end—BUT right now I am watching and enjoying the status quo and business as usual get torched by people who promised their voters that is exactly what they intended to do—

 

And as far as spineless weasels like Fred Upton trying to come in and lead some milquetoast crap from the socialist middle—that will never happen either—

 

Thank God—God bless America—and enjoy the show—its an important one—that is long overdue!
