The Trump Phenomenon w/ James Kelso

President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address last night was two hours long, every minute of it a riveting masterpiece. My advice tonight, Feb. 25, 2026, to every parent is: watch this world-changing address with you children….more than once! And study it yourself…more than once.

Was this the greatest speech ever in America history? Trump’s Feb. 24th State of the Union Address tonight was just that.

Tonight, Feb. 23, 2026, we are able to say that we will be sharing President Trump’s State of the Union address tomorrow night, timed perfectly with our Trump Phenomenon show. Many thanks to all of the good folks in the magnificent Republic Broadcasting Tower in Round Rock, Texas who coordinated the President’s timing with our show, once again! Just skimming across huge patriot stories today, we touched upon Tucker Carlson’s immensely important interview, in Jordan, with two amazing Palestinian Christians. Also we talk about Tucker’s takedown of a sputtering American Ambassador to Israel, Mike “Cuckabee”. Also touched upon is the assassination of Charlie Kirk, shortly after Ameerica’s Christian Zionists and Israel’s Zionists realized that Kirk was announcing to the world that he was done with Zionist war, in every form of warfare, against anyone opposed to their fanatical delusions. I was extremely fortunate to be at Kirk’s Student Action Summit (along with 8,000 young people there) when Kirk told Carlson and Megyn Kelly to “go max” on the ugliness of Zionist control in America and extermination in Gaza and the West Bank at Kirk’s final important event in Tampa, Florida in July 2025.

  “I always have a backup”, Donald Trump tells us today in reaction to the shameful attempt by Roberts, Gorsuch, and Coney Barrett to strip the Presdent of the constitutional power to set tariffs as established by the Constitution. Following today’s, February 20, 2026 dumpster fire by the Supreme Court, get ready for Trump to outsmart and outmaneuver the RINOs who joined with the Communist Democrats of SCOTUS.

 On Feb. 19, 2026, there is much reason for hope as Donald Trump turns the podium over to two brilliant leaders, both of whom may succeed him, J. D. Vance and Marco Rubio. If these two succeed Trump, we may have the MAGA force in the White House for sixteen years to follow Trump’s eight. That would give us hope all the way out to January 2041! I’d have to make it to 92 to see that wonderful future. That’s more than enough motivation to eat right all that time.

The two greatest speeches of the Trump era are Trump’s 2017 speech in Warsaw, Poland, in which our newly-elected President lowered the boom on those who hate our Western White Civilization….and this one we hear again tonight, Feb. 18, 2026, from Marco Rubio on Feb. 14, 2026 at the Munich Security Conference. Secretary of State Rubio completely repudiates all of the wokesterism of almost all of the 60 heads of state in his audience of 1,000 of the world’s elite.

I had no idea how EXCELLENT Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s record and life history is. I can say that I began a bromance wth Secretary Rubio today, February 17, 2026. So far I haven’t been able to find a single blot on the Rubio record, including the ever-important quality of his marriage. You can’t make this up….he married his high school sweetheart, Jeanette, a drop-dead stunner who has given the Rubio’s 4 cute-as-a-button tow-headed children, 2 boys and 2 girls. At 54 years old, Marco is the perfect age to run for President or Vice President in 2028. Tune in tomorrow and I’ll continue counting the ways Marco is perfect for either job. By the way, “little Marco” is of absolutely median male height in America at between 5’8″ and 5’9″! Nobody can even touch the appeal that candidate Rubio has with scores (many scores) of Hispanic Americans. His demographic profile is perfect too….on one side he’s descended from Sardinian blood, on the other Spanish blood, all of it European. Tune in for much more gushing about Rubio tomorrow night. Why didn’t anybody tell me more about Marco Rubio?

Tonight, February 13th, 2026, we do our Trump Phenomenon sex show.

Some good news to share on Feb. 12, 2026. One of the major hopes for OUR European future comes from a whole lot of non-Europeans who are fighting like hell to free their own country from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These are the millions of very courageous Chinese adherents to an organization they formed called “Falun Gong”. One evidence of their dedication to ending the biggest threat to their survival, and to OUR survival, the CCP, is manifest in the best paper newspaper in the world, The Epoch Times, which they publish out of Washington, D.C. and New York. You can read much of this best paper in the world for free at https://theepochtimes.com. For a modest price you can read the whole paper online. Or, you can go for the magnificent whole deal as I have, and subscribe to the 44-page full newspaper for $3 a week. Mine arrives every Friday in my mailbox like clockwork. The newspaper is SO good, and SO chock=full of everything one would want to know, that I have yet to read an entire The Epoch Times in about ten years!https://x.com/i/status/1976326059500109846

Today, Feb. 10, 2026, President Trump posts stone cold proof again that the 2020 election was won by Trump and lost by Biden. The fraud proof that President Trump posts was all known in 2021, including the absurd, impossible bit of BS from the Commie rats who stole the election “injected” statistically and logically impossible sudden huge spikes of votes, late into the night after the election was truly over, which featured in just two areas of Pennsylvania 600,000 magically appearing “votes”, of which 590,000 were for Biden and (wait for it)…..3.000 were for Trump. Do the Commies think that we’re as dumb as they look? The same thing went on in Georgia, and in precisely the States won by Trump in truth so that Biden could “win” in the biggest crime in American history. That biggest crime in American history made possible the next biggest crime in American history, the Democrat-organized mass invasion of our country by 30 million invaders!

Steve Bannon is in Texas now, Feb 9, 2026, trying to save Texas as a MAGA red state. He’s facing people like foreign-born Texas Democrat House Minority Leader Gene Hu, who proudly boasts that it’s time for the huge foreign-born population of Texas to replace Whites and “take over the country”. At the same time, President Trump asks on TruthSocial: “does America have the resolve to deport all illegals?”

You can find out about Kelso’s jail history tonight, Feb. 6, 2026. More specifically, his 3 days as a teenager in the Salinas County Jail for “camping in an unauthorized area”. I was sleeping on the ground in an unmarked area of Big Sur as I was hiking out of the Ventana Primitive Area in the 1960’s. Did Kelso’s love for big government take a turn for the worse at this juncture?

The theme tonight, Feb 4, 2026, is: we’ve only got one Donald Trump in our lives….that applies to any of us. Let’s not blow it by being ninnies who have a “better idea” about everything. That libertarian brand of Scottish infighting, which flows in our blood, is a luxury that we can’t afford in the crucial moments of the war that will decide whether our descendants will live in freedom or servitude and terror.

It’s profitable to dream of the heroes our people produced in the past. Such dreaming raises the chance that we will produce more such giants. Tonight, February 3, 2026, we muse about three such people, two you know and one you may not: Charles A Lindbergh (1902 – 1974), Calvin Coolidge (1872 – 1933) and David Starr Jordan (1851 – 1931). They all three knew of each other and believed the same patriotic philosophy that is becoming illegal in the corruption and depravity of the woke world.

It’s wonderful to see on Feb. 2, 2026 that the Bolshevik lying of “author” Michael Wolff that succeeded in getting MAGA patriot Steve Bannon dismissed from the Trump team (which Bannon so brilliantly led) in 2016 has now been rectified. Today Donald Trump posted a White House salute to Bannon. The love is back! And Trump goes out of his way to condemn the “sleazebag author” Michael Wolff. Nice. Wolff lied to Bannon, betrayed confidence and blurted out in his book that Bnnon had called Ivanka “dumb as a brick”. Wolff’s Communist Bolshevik goal all along was (and is) to destroy Trump by any means.

Charles A. Lindbergh’s November, 1939 article “Aviation, Race, and Geography” in Reader’s Digest magazine foretells everything great about Donald J. Trump’s “America First” movement (“America First” was also, and not coincidentally, the motto of Lindbergh’s huge movement), In our January 30, 2026 Trump Phenomenon radio show we also discuss the dangers that Lindbergh correctly prophesied for us and for Trump.

As ever, more great postings by President Trump on TruthSocial.com. Today’s posts, January 30, 2026 yet again hit his indefatigable standard.

‘Twasn’t (“it was not” as used by Shakespeare) a coincidence that Donald Trump adopted “America First” as the motto of his movement. Trump adopted the motto the movement that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh led, the “America First” movement that swept our country by storm (just like MAGA) in 1940 and 1941. Led by Lindbergh, some 85% of Americans were vehemently opposed to American involvement in World War ll. Today, January 23, 2026, President Trump embodies the patriotism and peace that the America First Committee championed with 800,000 members. Multiply that 800,000 by 3 to imagine what its size would be today. Charles Augustus Lindbergh was the leader of the patriot effort to avoid World War ll, His father, Charles August Lindbergh was the leader of the patriot effort to avoid World War l. And the spiritual heir of both Lindbergh’s, Donald John Trump, is the leader of our patriot effort to avert World War lll.

The unimaginable day arrived today, January 23, 2025. Gold his $5,000 an ounce and silver hit $100 an ounce! Hold on to your hats boys and girls. Mt. St. Helen’s is rumbling…so to speak. My favorite post from President Trump today is his disinvitation to Canadian Prime Minister Carney to the Board of Peace. As our President said to the Marxist Carney in the front row as Trump delivered his Periclean oration at Davos: “Watch your statements Mr. Carney!”

Listen to President Trump on January 22, 2026, showing the kindness and bigness of heart that the demons of the Left and the RINO’s don’t want you to see. Listen to Donald Trump showing his horror at the insanity of globalist war, sounding as if her were Erich Maria Remarque, the author of the greatest anti-war book ever written, “Im Westen, Nicht Neues”, which means in German: “In the West, No News”, but which we English-speakers know as “All Quiet On the Western Front”. My kids just sat me through a viewing of the 2022 German movie version of Remarque’s book. Powerful stuff, you want to watch it. The Director Edward Berger is thinking with the compassion for life that is at the heart of Donald John Trump.

Today, Jan. 21, 2026, President Trump gave the greatest speech in all of history. Steve Bannon, one of our greatest patriot geniuses called it the greatest speech given since Pericles of Athens 2,500 years ago.

Nick Shirley does an interview on the street in Michigan with a Welsh woman who left Britain at 18 when she realized that Britain was lost to its immigrant Islamic immigration. When Nick Shirley asks her: “When do you think America will go the way of Britain and women will be unsafe in our own streets?” She answers: “I already do feel unsafe here. I have two bodyguards with me right now.” The most important thing about this average citizen post is that it was posted by President Donald J. Trump himself. Twice, in case you scrolled by it! Today, January 20, 2026, know that DJT “gets it”, with us.

You may have encountered a truly brilliant mind on YouTube by the name of Brian Cox, a 57-year-old physicist from Britain. Professor Cox exemplifies all that is beautiful about our Western way of thinking, including recent programs with the politically-incorrect idea that “space travel was a hugely stupid effort in the past and an impossible waste for the future”. Cox is just what a PhD should always be. On January 19, 2026 we consider, by stark contrast, what I call a typical PhDei in a Nigerian “tenured professor” at Aquinas College who was just caught stealing millions of taxpayer money in Michigan, along the Minnesota Somalian system.

Donald Trump’s sunny optimism that we patriot can win, and even more along the unicorn line…ARE winning, is 100% OK. He’s mistaken in the fervor of that optimism, but guess what, he probably knows it himself. And, as the great leader that he is, he’s all the while thinking of his responsibility to the troops to inspire us to think that we have a chance in the war. That’s one of my sunny thoughts on January 16, 2026.

President Trump is near the point of invoking The Insurrection Act of 1807, signed then by President Thomas Jefferson.

 President Trump has excellent logic behind his argument that America must be able to count on a secure Greenland directly above our country, pointed like the dagger shape it has, right at the heart of America. The toothless Danes, who just beefed up their military presence in Greenland with two dog-sled teams (!) cannot possibly help to defend America from an aggressive Red China taking over Greenland. We can only count on ourselves The Greenlanders, every one of them, would reap a bonanza of household wealth from the Americans supplanting Denmark’s dual dog-sled defense. That argument, the argument for American national security, is, on January 14, 2026, Trump’s ONLY existential argument for securing Greenland. It’s NOT about mining or “treasure troves” of minerals buried under Greenland. Buried where….under Greenland’s 5,000 foot deep mantle of rock-hard ICE? At godawful temperatures, mind you. To even scrape up a few buckets of Greenland  “treasure troves” of dirt one must first mine down through 5,000 feet of ice. Much easier to mine through 5,000 feet of dirt. But hold on sonny! Has anyone, anywhere in the world mined through 5,000 feet of dirt (in warm weather), let alone 5,000 feet of blade-busting ice at -60 degrees? No! The deepest open-pit mine on Earth is the Bingham Copper Mine in Utah, which is 3,970 feet deep. And the Bingham Copper Mine, as it spirals down to a tiny spot at that depth. is extracting copper ore all the way down! If you spent hundreds of billions of dollars to spiral down 3,970 feet at -60 in Greenland you would have extracted how much in valuable minerals? I know the exact dollar amount….ZERO! You have to spiral (in ever larger circles) downward another 1,030 feet to get to your first available square foot of Greenland dirt! Good luck with that first square foot. The fifty cents worth of minerals you’d be lucky to discover there have to pay your investors back for the 20 or 30 billion dollars they sank into your “treasure trove” over ten years of excavating! Try selling that ROI! No, President Trump’s rock-solid argument is based on national security, period.

On December 23, 2025 our President telegraphs a post directed at Pam Bondi that screams: “Get off your ass Pam. Where are the indictments?” 10 months in and not one? I (Kelso) say that President Trump should give Bondi no more than 30 days to do her job, and if she doesn’t produce major indictments of the traitors who committed the biggest crime in American history as they robbed all real Americans of the 2020 election victory, then Bondi must be replaced by a real patriot Attorney General. Merry Christmas to all patriots.

In Rocky Mount, North Carolina this weekend, President Trump had his usual huge crowd roaring with approval as he described the utterly corrupt FBI as having pawed through both things called “drawers” in Melania’s bedroom. That second signification of “drawers” being synonymous with “panties”. A good laugh at the SOB’s infesting “our” government on December 22, 2025.

 Tonight, December 19, 2025, listen to excerpts from both the worst and the best speeches of recent times, at AmFest 2025. The worst is that by Ben Shapiro, who drips with hatred of Tucker Carlson. And, amazingly, it’s Tucker Carlson himself who gives a true “turning point” speech, which Charlie Kirk would have loved had he been backstage. Tucker turns out to be America’s foremost philosopher of “America First”, for which he is despised by Ben Shapiro, who reveals himself to be a thoroughgoing “Zionism Firster”.

Tucker Carlson delivers one of the most important speeches of all time tonight, Dec. 18, 2025, at AmFest 2025 in Phoenix, Arizona. We hear part of it in the second half of tonight’s show, live.

President Trump was on fire tonight, December 17, 2025. One element of the genius of geniuses like Donald Trump and Elon Musk is that they are able to discover and develop HIDDEN value. America has spectacular hidden value that is not being tapped. It will be the great seers of hidden value, like Trump and Musk, who will (we hope) be able to engineer an American extrication from the crushing national debt created by Democrats.

On December 16, 2025, President Donald Trump warmly welcomes Andrej Babis to the Prime Ministership of Slovakia. Babis actually predated Donald Trump in his founding of a nationalist movement when he predated M.A.G.A. with A.N.O. in 2011. I haven’t yet mastered the translation of A.N.O., but unpacking the acronym may yield something like the John Rich song lyric: “Stick your ‘progress’ where the Sun don’t shine”. In a beautiful development we now have three neighboring nations with three nationalist patriot Prime Ministers: Robert Fico in Slovakia, Andrej Babis in Czechia, and Victor Orban in Hungary. These three nations have a combined population of 26 million true Europeans. They are nations which have successfully resisted the non-European mass invasion engineered by the Brussels globalists and warmongers. All three patriot nations are also defying the globalist warmongers who created the Ukrainian war.

If you get a chance, watch John Stossel’s YouTube: “The Reality of Slavery in America vs Everywhere Else”. In 6 minutes, John Stossel deflates the leftwing brainwashing about this history. I discuss this on December 12, 2025.

I’m trying as hard as I can NOT to Black Pill our great patriot band, but…..ouch…..what happened in the Indiana State Senate today, December 11, 2025? As a DIRECT snub to President Trump and to the MAGA movement the Republican Senators of Indiana voted to kill the redistricting of Congressional seats in Indiana. The redrawing of Congressional district lines that they torpedoed would have given the MAGA/Republican movement 2 crucially needed additional seats in the 2026 election in one year. Even though Republicans have a clear majority in the Indiana Senate, they voted DOWN the MAGA redistricting by 31 to 19, with 21 Republicans joining 10 Democrats to defeat the MAGA cause. A huge effort was made by President Trump with both carrot and stick to prevent this catastrophe. Today that MAGA effort failed. The rot that caused this within the elected Republicans in Indiana can be presumed to fester in all 50 States.

Your host, Kelso, must apologize for vacillating over the course of the last week in my view of the Trump v. Greene brouhaha. But tonight, Dec. 10, 2025, I think that I have better comprehended what went awry betwixt President Trump and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Mistakes were made by both Trump and Greene, I conclude, but both tremendous patriots will survive the kerfuffle…as will we all.

Just you watch. Tucker Carlson is going to ride to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s defense. I think Tucker’s take on DJT calling MTG a “traitor” twice today on Dec. 9, 2025, and once yesterday, is going to be the same as mine. The only way out of the mess that he himself is 100% responsible for making is a personal apology to her face, a written apology on TruthSocial, and a spoken apology at a press conference.

How much self-harm can a race of people inflict upon themselves? Tonight, December 8, 2025, the day after the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, we consider some of the worst examples, America’s instant about-face and entry into World War II on Dec. 8, 1941 being one. Another such bout of insanity was inflicted upon our people by Napoleon in 1812, when on his sole command the largest army ever assembled to that point, 600,00 Europeans was roasted in the summer, then frozen in the winter, and reduced to 100,000 survivors by the time they reached a scorched earth Moscow. As Napoleon himself raced back to Paris, those 100,000 were slaughtered to near zero as they fought their way back. What in our European makeup has rendered us capable of innumerable such acts of insanity?

The current total on Somali theft and fraud of American taxpayers on Dec. 5, 2025 is $8 BILLION dollars……just in Minnesota! Yikes. President Trump seems to have had his own very welcome epiphany on how bad it’s gotten, as evidenced by his nicely salty pronouncements and orders.

Tonight, December 4, 2020, has turned into “The Grokipedia Show”, with a number of mentions of our leader, President Donald Trump. What you should take away from this show is this: you need to STOP clicking on Wikipedia (which we now know to be a CIA operation) and instead click on Grokipedia at grokipedia.com. And please include the genius and brave soul Elon Musk in your prayers for having created and running his latest baby, Grokipedia. Finally TRUTH has a home!

 I actually counted Donald John Trump’s posts on TruthSocial.com over the last 24 hours today, December 3, 2025. I was prompted to use the adverb “actually” before the verb “counted” because what our President posted was Herculean….250 posts! Does the man ever sleep? Does he leap tall buildings in a single bound? But that’s not all. It gets better. All 250 posts are brilliant and 200% proof MAGA.

The Trump we love is back today in full force, Dec. 2, 2025. Read DJT’s “Truths” (posts) today on TruthSocial. com There are so many, and they are so good, you’ll want to give yourself at least an hour to get through them.

An excellent re-posting by President Trump on December 1, 2025, concerning our being “replaced” and being “colonized” by an endless invasion of alien peoples to the land our ancestors entrusted to us.

We have a Happy Thanksgiving on this, November 26, 2025, on the day before, as President Trump sounds like his classic self in his posting today. Once again, skewering the people who need roasting, and defending the righteous. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

A nice debate tonight, November 25, 2025, in which I’m defending Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, and Rand Paul against their detractors. One of those detractors is, I’m sad to say, my own hero President Donald Trump. I am sharing and defending my view that all three, Greene, Massie, and Paul, are extraordinary patriots, and that barbs launched in their direction are guaranteed to become self-inflicted wounds to our patriot cause.

This tonight, November 24, 2025, is our Monday update on what DJT did or did not do over the weekend in the way of fixing his horrible blunder in insulting Marjorie Taylor Greene. Well, shall we say, he did do a little bit of damage control. But not enough. The MAGA folk need to hear more. And it needs to be sincere. President Trump must be kind of shocked at just how much the MAGA army loves MTG.

 Are you sitting down? You need to for this….Marjorie Taylor Greene just announced. in a video that is going mega-viral. that she is quitting Congress as of Jan. 5, 2026! In less than two hours MTG’s stunning announcement has 2.6 million views on X. 

All good news on Nov. 20, 2025: President Trump puts forward an excellent peace plan for Ukraine that has the libtards freaking out because it puts America First; Marjorie Taylor Greene, who days ago implored the President for just such a plan is being staunchly backed up at Republican Party meeting across her District in Georgia; the Israel-firsters, as exemplified by Laura Loomer and Mark Levin, are in panic mode as they realize that they have lost the American public.

What a masterful world-changing speech President Trump delivered today Nov. f9, 2025, before the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C. Seated right in front of President Trump, and rolling in the aisles laughing, was the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. While President Trump had many of the most powerful people on Earth in stitches for an hour, Crown Prince Mohammed was signing his check for one trillion dollars, to be spent to the benefit of American workers and America. In classic Trump style, the President asked whether the Crown Prince could make it out for one-and-a-half trillion.

Our Leader warms your host’s heart today, Nov. 18, 2025, as he deftly corrects course with three manuevers, getting it right on Epstein, partially right on Ukraine, and partially right on Gaza. Listen to find out how the theme music of The Love Boat can be woven into this course correction, starring Donald Trump as Captain Gavin MacLeod (Trump’s mother’s name was McLeod!) and Vladiminr Putin as Pacific Princess Purser Fred Grandy (who became a “far-right” Iowa Congressman).
