Speaker 1 (00:30):
We're here to take a stand for God and country.
Let's feel good. America's Voice Live.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It starts now.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Grits Friday. Thankfully,
April the second. It's good to the day's time. Ye,
thank you as always for tuning in with us here
in Real America's Voice, Bee trully appreciate now. Just this week,
the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination
of Jared Isaacman as NASA's new administry Eisaman will now
face the Senate for a final confirmation of that position.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's almost for sure. More on that coming up.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Also, just last night, President Trump signed an executive order
to cut federal funding for both NPR and PBS because
of their efforts to spread woke, anti American propaganda. And
I say, well, it's about damn time. We'll be discussing
that coming up, and then later Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior working hard to make America
healthy again. He recently stated that he will ban eight
(01:29):
harreful food dies by the end of next year. All
those details straight ahead as well. But first I'd like
to start here today the jobs reports out. Last month's
job report was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
earlier today, and it seems that the economy is responding
quite well to President Trump's policies, despite predictions of doom
and gloom from the left and tariff latest slowdowns. The
(01:51):
Department of Labor reporting the employers added one hundred and
seventy seven thousand new jobs in April alone, a number
that freest surpassed for tom the so called experts had
predicted for the month.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Now in March, the month.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Before, one hundred and eighty five thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
New jobs were added. In total, the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Unemployment has remained unchanged for a month ago, remaining at
four point two percent. Very close to historic lows. Look,
four point two percent is a good unemployment number, make
no mistake about it. Shortly after the report was released,
President Trump took the true social and stated, this gasoline
just broke a dollar ninety eight a gallon, lows and years,
groceries and eggs down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong,
(02:32):
and much more good news as billions of dollars pouring
from tariffs, just like I said. And we're only in
a transition stage, just getting started. The point of it
all is that President Trump's policies appear to be working.
We're only in a transition stage, and we're seeing great
numbers like these. Here with me to discuss this in detail,
the director of the Center for the Federal Budget at
(02:53):
the Heritage Foundation, Richard Stern. Richard, one thing I do.
I mean, I need to correct one thing. Most of
what I heard there is accurate, But gas is not
a dollar ninety eight a gallon. I hate to tell
the President that the cheapest I find, Look, it's a
good price. It's two dollars and sixty six cents. That's
the state of Mississippi according to TRIPAA. But look, the
job's report is good. The unemployment number four point two percent.
(03:15):
We are always taught in school that four percent is
basically full employment. So a good number there. Inflation two
point four percent overall, Richard, how would you grade the
economy right now as we stand here today.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Oh? Absolutely, I think you get the nail on the head.
It's doing well.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
It's showing signs of growth and by the way, as
good as those job numbers look, the other thing that's
in the report is that federal employment is down. Yes,
DOGE is doing its job and getting rid of those
federal bureaucrats that do nothing and steal your taxpayer dollars
to do it. And so private sector growth is even
more robust than the total job number gives you.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
You saw a massive uptick in business investment in the
GDP numbers that came. Business optimism is getting better. People
are unshaky about the tariffs, but the underlying structured the
economy is doing very well.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So that's interesting. The job's number is up one hundred
and seventy seven thousand, but federal jobs have been being eliminated.
So if that hadn't happened, what we looked like today?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Oh so it would have been in the high one eighties.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
And of course you got to keep in mind that
there's also state government jobs and so. And then the
other side of that is that, you know, we know,
the beautiful labor statistics has been raw for years in
a row now, and so we'll have to see what
the revisions are that come in.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I'm sure it'll be better than expected by the time
we get done with everything.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And you know, the other side of it also is
when you go into the hood and look at this,
a lot of the jobs in the Biden years where
government subsidized jobs, and what you find in this one
is there's more jobs that are in things that people
actually use. There are more transportation and warehousing jobs, for example,
which is a good leading indicator that there's more business
activity going on. Matches the GDP numbers we saw as well.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let me ask you about this here here's the truth
and reporting question for today. We're going to go back
about ten days, maybe fourteen days in time. And you
saw all of these big outlets, The New York Times,
the Washington Post, NBCCBS, ABC, all of them. It's going
to be the worst April since nineteen thirty two. It's
doom and gloom the Trump, but it was all nonsense.
(05:23):
I'm looking at the markets here today up over five
hundred points is the Dow, that's one point twenty five percent,
the NASDAK of a percent and a half over over
eighteen thousand, and the S and B also up. All
the doom and gloom about the about the markets is
not panning out either. It looks like the markets have
stabilized quite nicely and are starting to climb again.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Oh, absolutely so.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I think part of this again is the media outlets
are always shakier than the market is. Of course they
don't actually produce real products and employ people for the
most part. But you know, they were upset about the tariffs,
and to be fair, the teriffs could be scary, but
I think we now understand that the president's policy is
for them to be temporary, for them to be a
negotiation tool to get real wins out of other countries.
(06:08):
A lot of the media thought that China was going
to win the trade war. The Chinese are now begging
Trump to cut a deal with them, So, you know,
I think that's why the markets rebounded, is they understand
the strategy of the terriffs. They understand that Trump is
trying to get real wins for the country, and they
understand that. Frankly, the Chinese are panicking a lot more
than our businesses are panicking. All of that is caused
for renewed optimism. But you know that's what you're looking at.
(06:31):
And of course you know as well as I do,
the legacy media looks for every opportunity they can to
try to demonize Trump and scare people.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
About Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Let's talk about China for just a moment here, because
it's an important point that you've made here. Look, China
claims that their economies growing five percent.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's simply not true.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
In fact, many would say they believe that China's economy
is a decline in a real recession already. And so
then Richard, the question comes, how long can China hold out?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So a little light broke.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Through today, potentially in conversations over Fatanyl and China saying, look,
we'll work on the Fatanyel problem. So that has come
to light. I'm sure you're aware of that. That could
provide the opening for China and the Chinese Communist Party
to begin negotiations without losing face, which is so important.
For folks in the CCP, they have to look like
they stood their ground. But if they start conversations about
(07:23):
FEDYL and it leads somewhere else, all the better. And
so here's my question. If that happens, if we get
to deal with China, we get to deal with the EU,
we put a deal together with Canada, Mexico and the
seven big major trading partners. You know, within a few weeks,
the American economy could really be going great guns, couldn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh definitely.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And keep in mind that you're repairing all of that
across the board across the world with domestic attempts by
DOGE to cut regulations, that get rid of bureaucrats that
just spend their day trying to strangle American businesses.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You know, right now, for an average small manufacturer in
the US, the.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Regulatory cost per worker is fifty thousand dollars per year.
So you know, as dose in the president go ahead
trying to get rid of regulations that will also jumpstart
the economy. And then you're absolutely right as we bring
China to the EU, these other countries at the table,
as they get rid of their trade barriers and actually
engage with us in a real fashion. It opens up
(08:20):
markets for American producers and make sure that we're playing
on the level playing field.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
One of the other problems, of course, is the Chinese
government is dumping these products like evs into our market
and the European markets with the expressed goal of destroying
critical industries that they deem to be a military advantage
to us. So, you know, getting them to end those
practices is good economics. It's also important for our national security.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
They've always done that, Richard.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You know, I can look, I don't have to look
any farther than antibiotics. The Chinese bought up all the
antibiotic factories around the world and in two thousand and
four dropped the price through the floor. The last American
antibiotic facility was in New York State. It went bankrupt
as a result, we don't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Have one now. China plays dirty like this.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's part and parcel to what they do, and it's
why it has to be stopped. It's one of the
reasons I applaud President Trump for saying, look, we need
to reset the way these things work. Do you think
it's working, Richard, Do you think that we're making progress
that just would China, but with other training partners I do.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
It's hard to know exactly until we start getting deals
inked and side and everything. But at the same time,
I think what we're hearing is the light you were
talking about coming out of the negotiations with China. You're
seeing that across the board with a lot of countries.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
One of things I think is an interesting side note on.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
This is, obviously China has gotten around a lot of
these restrictions for years by sending products to Europe, to
South Korea, to Japan and there Vietnam, and.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Then sending them on to the US.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
South Korea actually has started really coming down, bearing down
on these Chinese goods effectively being smuggled through South Korea,
starting to really follow the law on that.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
That's the first time South Korea has ever done that.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
You're seeing that out of a lot of eu CO
countries as well, and so that to me, right, is
this unprecedented step where these countries are finally playing ball
with US with how they're handling China. And that's an
unprecedented move towards these countries choosing the US.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Over China and over.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The ambivalence that they've had just sitting on the fence
in the middle. So I think the sky is the
limit for how good this could be.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Let me look at one more area, one more sector
of the economie region which I think is critical. Maybe
it is the most critical section, and that is energy,
of course, and this present came out with energy policies
from day one, declared an energy emergency and has continued
to follow that path.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
As a result a lot of things that have happened today.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
West Texas Intermedia crewed is at fifty eight dollars a barrel.
That means that energy is cheaper. Gasoline may fluctuate some,
but energy is cheaper. And so when you look at
the inflation being at two point four percent, I would anticipate,
not being an expert like you, but I would anticipate,
being an observer, that inflation would continue to come down
a click here and a click there, which would mean
(11:00):
that your own Powell and the Fed, they're going to
be for They're almost going to have no choice but
to bring interest rates down again. Another thing that can
stimulate the economy in this country, and I look forward
to it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Will he do it? He?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Jerown Powell pretends to be non political. We know that's
not exactly true.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
What do you anticipate?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
So yeah, I think the important thing that recognized about
the FED, and you brought it up right there, is
that it pretends to be independent.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
We all know it's in deeply political.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Look, Biden passed bill after bill that ratcheted up government spending,
which if the FED had not printed cash, would have
looked bad on day one, and Congress may not have
voted for those bills. But Powell signaled to markets, signaled
to the President and the Congress that he would print
the money out of thin air at the FED, devaluing
(11:49):
all the dollars in your bank account and in your
paycheck to finance Biden's inflationary agenda. The moment that Trump
asked him to lower rates to smooth over his tarif negotions,
Powell told the President to go pound Sam. Now, I'm
not saying the FED should have done either of those,
but it should be consistent about that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And the only thing that's consistent about Powell.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Is that he helps the liberals, and that's part of
the problem here about this. But I agree with you,
the more energy we have, the lower prices are for
all Americans. The faster economic growth will be for everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Look, give you your crystal ball, Richard, this will be the
last thing. Just give me your forecast three six, nine
months out, not long term, but mid raye job by
late this year, early next year, where do you think
we're going to be.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I think we're probably gonna have unemployment come down a
little bit, not three months, but six to nine months.
I think it might come back down to about four points.
I think you're going to have job growth that's over
two hundred thousand a month probably, And I think you're
going to continue to see an uptick in business investment,
but I would say more six to nine months. But
what I'm anticipating is over the next couple months, we're
going to iron out the rest of these trade deals.
(12:54):
I think three months from now you're going to go
back to having no tariffs because we're going to have
these deals together. And that's the environment, along with the
spinning cuts, along with the deregulation.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I think six to nine months from now you're.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Going to be having all these really great economic stats,
stock market up, business optimism up. But I will warren
if the deals aren't done and the terrorifts are still
there more than three months from now, things start to
get uneasy again.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well exactly it's a crystal ball, and of course things
happen that we cannot predict, natural, disastrous things of that nature.
But I am optimistic. It sounds like you are as well, Richard.
Thank you for being here. Richard served for the Heritage Foundation.
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Always a pleasure. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All right, up after the break. That is good news.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
By the way, after the break, President Drums picked the
lead NASA in his second term, is now very close
to becoming the agency's fifteenth administrator after a Senate committee
advanced denomination of Jared Isaacman. We'll talk about that coming
up on America's Voice Live Friday edition. All right. On Wednesday,
(14:01):
the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination
of Jared Isaacman to be a NASA's fifteenth administrator.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The vote was nineteen to nine.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
During his confirmation hearing earlier this month, senators questioned Isaacmon
on his visions for NASA as they pertain to climate research,
planetary science funding, and the Artemis program, and his private
relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk with the vote to
secure his position as NASA's administrator. On an imminent path
isisacman stands to replace former administrator Bill Nelson take the
(14:31):
range from the current acting administrator and considering the blunder
of leaving astronauts stranded in space for what was it,
nine months, I'd say maybe it's time for someone else
to step into that position. Here's me to discuss it
is the CEO of United Space Sports Spaceports, that IS Corporation,
Rob Lauer.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Rob, nice to see you here today.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Tell me what do you think about mister Isaac Minzi
the right person for the job at this time when
we're I don't know, reinitializing the American space program in earnest.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
One thing we can say about the Trump administration and
Trump's approach to people and focusing on who to hire
putting together a team is he's been reaching out to
successful entrepreneurs like Jared. He's going after people who have
real world experience, who are entrepreneurs, who are wealthy, successful
people in their own industries who frankly don't need this position.
(15:28):
Jared doesn't need this position. He's doing it because he
wants to serve, and that's a lot. I think that's
a pattern we're seeing in this administration is people who
are coming to this industry from the industry, from the
private sector, who understand what it takes to build a business,
to build a company and deal with government. Frankly, that's
(15:48):
a big, huge problem that's always front and center for
any entrepreneurs dealing with government regulations and bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. Bureaucrats
have no sense urgency to get things done. They don't
care about budgets or being on time, they don't care.
Entrepreneurs absolutely must have a sensor urgency to get things done,
(16:10):
work on a budget. And we saw that frankly with
SpaceX and with Elon Musk, who put.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
In his own money one hundred million dollars of.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
His own money to create SpaceX, and if it failed,
he wouldn't no one would know who he is today.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Frankly, he would be a laughingstock.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
But because he took the chance and have that sensor urgency,
and the first three rockets, as we all know, failed,
and that fourth rocket had that failed, SpaceX went being
around today. So what we're learning is and what we
what we've always known is in politics and government, people
are policy and you have to have to hit people
(16:46):
to them.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, let me ask you this because talking about SpaceX
and I just want to jump in there because it's
really important. Elon Musk, obviously on the forefront, wants to
plant the American flag on Mars. It seems to me,
as an observer here and not somebody involved with the
space program. I'm sitting here and observing the American space program.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It looked like it was da until Elon Musk came along.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It seems like he has revived the American space program
almost single handily. So his relationship with mister Eisenman I
think would be a benefit, not a detriment. But apparently
some senators didn't see that way.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
But do you agree with me?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Did Elon Muskin space all agree the American space program
go further?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Let's go further.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
What we've seen is in the last four years and
frankly before that is the politicization of the of the
NASA Climate change Those are not the mission.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
That's not the mission of NASA.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
NASA's mission is to put people and satellite technology in space,
on the Moon, on Mars and further expand human liberty
and human exploration around the Solar System and climate change,
and all his DEI stuff is a distraction. It should
not be the mission. It's not the mission. So what
we have over people who are focused on the mission.
(18:02):
Like I said, Jared doesn't need this. He's rich, he's successful,
he's been an astronaut, he's a fighter pilot. He's done
all these things, by the way, with his own money,
not with government money. So he's done these things and
understands what it takes, and he's excited to further the
human experience in space.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
He's not just a bureaucrat who for him.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
For most people, this position in NASA would be a
step up for him, and a lot of the people
who Trump are bringing in these are steps down. These
are people who are coming to the government and foregoing
a lot of money and a lot of prestige that
they normally have and instead they're sacrificing to serve our country.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, absolutely sacrifice. And that's true of a lot of
folks that are in the administration right now. You look
at a whole host of folks that are there, and
as you put it, wealthy successful people that have proven
themselves in the private sector now lending that that expertise
and that ability to move America forward, I mean, and
that should be applauded, shouldn't it.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Well, I can just tell you as a self employed
entrepreneur all my life, my number one obstacle is government.
Number one obstacle castle harassment, money issue is always government.
And I'll give an example. We followed an application with
the FA. This is about a year and a half
ago before Trump came in, and it was a two
(19:30):
page double space application for a project. And the FA
it self center should take three hours to review and approve.
It took the FA seven months to approve a two
page application. So the problem you have is government and bureaucracy,
and bureaucrats have no sense of urgency to get things done.
(19:51):
Entrepreneurs like Shared and Elon Musk myself, they have a
sense of urgency to get things done.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
We want to get this done in our lifetime. We
don't want to put off.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
This is what we do for Jared a gig to
further his own career that it's got a step up.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
This is these people are there to get things done.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, last quick question, Rob and speaking of our lifetimes,
you and I are not twenty one.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Years of age. I can I can go ahead and
make that wager.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Will we see the American flag on Mars in our lifetime?
Is it possible? Is it likely?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Only if the government gets out of our way and
lets people like Elon Musk do what they do best.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, I appreciate that from United Space Sports Corporation, Rob Lower,
good conversation, Rob.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I hope we do plant the American flag on Mars.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I think that would be an inspiration to people, not
just in America but around the world.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Thank you for being here.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, coming up after the break. Just last night,
President Trump signed in an executive order to cut federal
funding for both NPR and PBS for their part in
spreading woke anti American propaganda. More details coming up straight ahead,
(21:13):
all right. On Thursday, late yesterday, President Trump signed an
executive order to cut taxpayer funds to both PBS and
NPR for what for spreading radical, woke, anti American propaganda.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
He says.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other
federal agencies to cease federal funding for both companies. Further
requires that they work to root out indirect sources of
public financing for the news organizations. The two broadcasting companies
get roughly half a billion dollars in tax payer money
through the Corporation Probate Broadcasting in order to spread their
woke ideology and agenda. But things are changing with President
(21:51):
Trump in office. No surprise here with me to discuss
this is Real America's voice, Chief White House courseponder, Brian Glenn,
who's happy to take any handouts he might get today.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
After all, it's Friday, hello, Brian.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe it's free beer Friday.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
And maybe the government or MPR PBS can push that
out too.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
A couple of things about this, No surprise. Lawsuits are flying,
accusations are flying, and they're mad as hell. But the
fact the matter, as we talked about in the break
just before we came on, this only CONTs for like
ten percent of their funding.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They have ninety percent of their budget.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Do you think that all the television and radio stations
that took it on the chin during COVID and some
lost seventy five percent of their sales?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know there it is.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Those people survived, But these guys are going to sit
there on their ivory tower and wag their finger because
they're not getting more taxpayer and support. I bet all
those companies would like some money, wouldn't they, Brian, they.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Would, Steve, they would.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
You know, as a matter of fact, they get about
fifteen to sixteen percent of their total budget comes from
the federal government, about I one hundred and thirty five
million dollars a.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Year from that. And to think that they're claiming.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
That this violating type of you know, First Amendment, right, Well,
I don't remember the font the founding fathers, you know,
saying that public taxpayer money must go to broadcast companies.
Because if that's the fact, why don't Next Star, send
Claire Great Television and others just go ahead and line up,
go to Washington, d C. And try to get all
(23:26):
this federal money that supposedly is your constitutional right. Look
at the end of the day, Steve, if you want
to turn on PBS.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You want to turn on NPR in the car, which
is great, you can do that. You're still going to
get your programming.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
It's just not going to come from federal taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
We're not telling Big Bird to go find a different nest.
We're not putting the cookie monster back in the jar.
We're not putting you know, Oscar the Grouch back in
the trash can.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Those guys still exist.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
But that's what the left wants you to think that
for some reason, we're wiping it away. We're just not
using taxpayer dollars. And this is hugely popling with the people. Steve,
you know this.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It is people wanted to defund these two outlets for years,
and something's been discussed for my entire professional career has
been floating around. Anyway, because I just had to go
back to an old email, I went back to an
old email. I found town Square Media owns two hundred
and twenty two hundred and thirty radio stations in this country.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Their revenue in twenty one to twenty two was down.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Eighty percent because of COVID regulations and shutdowns in lockdown
eighty percent. You know how much NPR and PBS were
down zero because they take money from the government and
they have these other nonprofits funding them every step of
the way, so they could continue to proliferate this left
wing agenda. While companies are out there competing in the
(24:49):
free market. They skated right through it, and so I
think that's what they're afraid of, Bran, They're afraid of
having to compete on an even playing field.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You're absolutely correct.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
And that subcommittee on Doge where margin Taylor Green chaired.
That committee brought the CEOs back in front of that panel,
and they really exposed the bias of the media coverage.
They can't sit there for two minutes and try to
convince the American people that their unbiased news organization when you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And I both know that's not the facts.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Matter of fact, I have a very good friend that
worked in a major market for PBS. It's a big city, stuff,
years of experience in television. The day after that Doge
subcommittee hearing about the funding, she was fired. She was
released from her job, and I was told that on
a daily basis, President Trump was a punching bag. Margite
(25:47):
Taylor Green was a public enemy number one. They simply
do not like conservatives, They do not like President, they
don't like you, they don't like me. But guess what,
here's a news flash, Rand we don't care. Steve Gruber
doesn't care, and Brian Glenn certainly cares. And guess what,
American people said, you can hate us, but not on
our dime.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But I don't understand, Brian.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
How can anybody not like you? And I I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't get that. I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I don't know too, lovable guys.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What is there to like about Steve Gruber and myself?
On Friday?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And by the way, again Friday even and Brian's will
be offering free beer Friday for everybody in the DC area.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Just tracking down. Grazly appreciate you, my friend. Yeah, greatly
appreciate you. We have a great weekend, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Uh this July, by the way, speaking of the summer,
and I mean that's going on. There's a global summit
of bricks Nations in Rio. The block of emerging superpowers
including China, Russia, India, and Iran are meeting with the
goal of displacing the US dollar as a global currency
reserve currency, as they call it, and they're also calling
this the Rio Reset. As bricks Nations push forward with
(26:59):
their plan, global demand for the US dollar could certainly decrease,
bring down the value of the dollars in your accounts,
in your savings account specifically, While this transition won't happen overnight.
The real reset in July marks a pivotal moment when
bricks objectives move decisively from the theoretical toward reality. Learn
of diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

Speaker 1 (27:45):

You know, if you've been prepared before Liberation Day, you
might have been able to cash it on gold too.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Don't lets your chance.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Coming up after the break, I'll take a look at
Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy's efforts un banning food
dies from big box food brands and why the proposal
is vital for Americans in their good health.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Details coming up.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
The Health and Human Services Secretary Bobby Kennedy announcing his
continued efforts to ban at least eight petroleum based food dies.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's right, made out of oil. Who wants to eat oil?
The dyes in this.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
List include red forty along with citrus number three to
name some. This effort by RFK juniors to fulfill the
promise of the Make America Healthy Again movement where is
Kennedy is seeking to drive down the prevalence of chronic disease. Additionally,
preliminary dot show that, besides being unhealthy, the consumption of
these dies could be linked to hyperactivity and children, driving
(28:53):
up the prevalence of ADHD for example. Therefore, prescription medications
like adderall gets sold faster. You see how this vicious
cycle works. Here and now to discussed this is tp
USA contributor one of my favorites, Anthony Watson Anthony, Happy
Friday to you. Look, I don't get it, so I
(29:14):
don't need seaweed, but apparently people in my family do.
I find it odd. I'm just going to tell you that.
But here's a seaweed packet. It's supposed to be the
healthiest thing you could possibly eat. This is a couple
of weeks ago. My wife flips it over. It's green,
it's got green dye in it. I guess your seaweed
isn't attractive enough all by itself, you gotta put green.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Dye on it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
And when you start consuming this stuff, I mean, I
don't know what they're putting on our bodies. I'm totally
with Bobby Kennedy on this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
What say you, I'm totally with Bobby Kennedy on this
as well. For the longest time, everyone on the conservative
side has been saying that there's a health crisis that's
now pushing the promotion of big pharma. Because every single
time you see a health crisis, every single time you
see any kind of new disease, every single time you
see something chronic, guess who's right there, the government with
(29:57):
all of their big pharmaceutical companies and check that now
have Americle miraculous and ready to go drug to now
combat these things that now get people hooked and weaken
their immune systems. And so what we're starting to see
now is that now we're finally starting to take our
health back and actually do it to produce longevity in
the citizens of America. Because if that doesn't get anyone's attention,
(30:18):
you look at every other country around the world.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You look at Europe, you look at.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Asia, you look at even countries beneath us and South
America that look at a lot of the snacks and
the things that we produce and put on our shelves
for regular to everyday consumption, they don't sell them there
because of the health risks that they cause. And so
now by taking control of this, it's now a way
for us to step in the right directions to actually
give people the health that they need to actually continue
(30:41):
living in the lives that they want for themselves.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
In fact, if they do sell things. Froot loops is
one of the easy things to point out. Foot loops
in the EU and elsewhere are not the same fruit
loops should get in America because they don't have those colors.
They have organic based colors from vegetables and fruits and
so forth. We have petroleum apparently, which seems very odd
to me. You whoever thought, hey, let's eat the oil.
(31:06):
The point that I'm getting at is highly processed foods.
Maybe it contributes to ADHD, maybe it contributes to other illnesses.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
We need to clean up our act more.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
More farm to table experience would be a lot healthier,
wouldn't this.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
Absolutely and that's why you're starting to see families across
the country now go to.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Raw milks and raw eggs.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
They're starting to now purchase those things where now farmers
make it available for you to purchase cattle that you
can now have butchered and last you an entire year
for your family and everybody else that can invest in
those kinds of things. It's a harder thing to do
because things that are now produced at such a mass
quantity so poorly. It's the kind of the thing do
you want quality over quantity? And the quantity that we've
pumped out for the past couple of decades has been
(31:48):
easy to make, but at what expense at people's health
and at people's livelihoods.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And so now you're.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Starting to see a shift of people that actually want
to start taking control of their health to actually give
them the chance of the life that they actually desperately.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Want to live for.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, there you go. Look, I'm a chicken rancher for
that very reason. We go on collect eggs every day.
People are doing what they can. You know, a lot
of these cities now allow you to have three or
four or five hands laying hands. Look, anything you can
do to make your health better. I think people should do.
You've got to go away from all this box nonsense.
But something else really need to do, Anthony. We need
(32:23):
to make sure that some of these places, like big
urban areas, big cities, they need access to fresh food
and fresh foods and vegetables as well, because they don't
have it as much. They've got all this stuff. It's
pre packaged box nonsense. We need to do a better job.
We've got the farmers and the farmers to do it.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
I think we can do better in that arena. What
do you think.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I definitely think that we can do better.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
And I will say, for as messed up as we've been,
we're on the right track to getting better because nobody
really knows what's better for them until they try it.
And now a lot of these big corporations are now
working extra hard to keep all of the good stuff
out because now all of the processed stuff has been.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Their money maker for all these years.
Speaker 9 (32:58):
Where they didn't even have to look at the machine
means they didn't have to look at the stores to
see how stock they were because everything was just coming
in so regularly. But with the demand of everybody wanting
better things for themselves. I think it's time that people
and government and conglomerates and corporations actually listen to the
people that are making these requests, because everything that has
made and always promoted to be like, oh, we're doing
(33:18):
this for you, we're doing it for convenience, We're doing
it just to make it easier for you. But anything
that's worth having in life is always going to come
with a little bit of a struggle intentionally to see
how much it's worth it to you. And a lot
of people now have to ask themselves the question how
much does their health mean to them?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
How much does their livelihood mean to them? How much
does their familyhood mean to them?
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Because all of those things that they now consume and
put in their body are now either adding to the
longevity or taking away from it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
That's right, Anthony, you asked me about how things are
on the d Let me tell you this.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
In Detroit, Michigan, there are plenty of areas.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now where they've turned it into local co ops and
farms and turned well we're you know, empty lots into
places to grow food. I mean efforts runderway. We're getting there,
but there's more work to be done. Anthony, thank you
for being here as always.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Deve, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I have a good weekend, you too, my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
All right, after the break, I'll be discussing Mike Walton
his new nomination by President Trump to be the ambassador
to the United Nations.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Is it a promotion?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I think so. Some don't see it that way. We'll
discuss it after the break, all right. Well, on Thursday,
President Trump nominated Mike Waltz to be his administration's ambassador
to the United Nations. It came just hours after Waltz
(34:36):
stepped down from his role as the National Security Advisor.
Democrats currently trying to create a false narrative that his
removal as NSA was.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Quote due to the Signal Gate League. However, JD.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Vans recently denied those allegations and called Waltz's un ambassador
nomination a promotion. Vice President also said that Waltz has
the trust of both himself and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
See for yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So it was a let go.
Speaker 10 (35:03):
He is being made ambassadors to the United Nations, which
of course is a seneconfirm position. I think you can
make a good argument that it's promotion, But we brought
Mike on to do some serious reforms of the National
Security Council. He has done that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I like Mike. I think he's a great guy. He's
got the trust of both me and the President.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
But we also thought that he'd make a better UN
ambassador as we get beyond this stage of the reforms
that we've made to the National Security Council.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Marco Ruby I.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Meanwhile, I was acting as the interim leader of the
National Security Council, as the National Security Advisor. Here'll be discussed.
This is the President of the Republican Caucus, Jim Fafft. Jim,
nice to see you here today. Look, I think it's
a promotion, but I had a debate here on this
network earlier today from folks that don't think Mike Waltz
going over to the United Nations is a step up.
(35:51):
Here's why I think it is. And you tell me
your thoughts. We've got a lot going on with the
tariffs and negotiating with the world. You've got the war Ukraine,
You've got what's going on with Hamas and the Huthis,
And if you're the ambassador Denied Nations, you're going to
be in the thick of.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All of that right from day one. I think it's
a big job.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
What do you think, Well, I think he does have
the President's trust, but I do suspect I had something
to do with the signal thing. I don't know that
for a fact, but you know, that was an incident
that could have ended up being very embarrassing. Certainly they
had to work through, and you just have to, you know,
be cautious about situations like that. And but to be candid,
(36:32):
it is a step up truly because the UN thing
is going to be very very important, uh, with the
for the reasons you said, but also because we have
to assert ourselves in that body constantly. And Donald Trump
has a policy of working closely with Israel. The UN
is constantly going after Israel in ways that are absurd often,
(36:56):
and Mike Waltz is, you know, in a active guy
both in communications and really taking a tough stand when
necessary on those key issues.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
So I think it's kind of a mix here.
Speaker 11 (37:09):
And and they're going to be some good options for
filling that position. Obviously Marco Rubio's handling it right now,
but there's gonna there are gonna be some really good
options for helping that key service to the president be
able to undertake and.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Well, Marco Rubio's number two was suggestive of the job,
and Marco Rubio said, uh, I like him too much.
He's got job locked because a lot of these people
are not going to be able to be moved around
because people like him. Look, and while we're on this topic, Jim,
how good is Marco Rubio doing it? I've been talking
about this for the last couple of weeks. Now, I mean,
(37:45):
he is rock solid. He's solidly got the President's back.
He's on He's on message every time he's in there
in the Oval office.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
He is a master when.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
It comes to these sideways questions when he goes on
ancient media because they throw curve balls at him all
the time. And he is a master at defending the administrations.
It's policies, it's agenda and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
What do you think of the job Marco Rubio is doing.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
Listen, he is a great communicator. My one beef with
Marco Rubio over time, like he came in as a
tea party darling.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
In twenty ten and very positively so.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
But he has been supporting the Patriot Act, which I
have serious reservations about been voting to vote. I was
very worried about what that might mean. I am very
pleasantly surprised. So far, I think he's done a fantastic job,
and especially when the USAID thing came up, he has
(38:43):
been masterful in dealing with that and helping the president
navigate getting rid of what that institution has been doing.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So yeah, I think he's fabulous so far.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
At least, I don't have any reason to be negative
at all, and very many reasons to think that he's
serving the president an excellent way that's going to benefit
Trump's agenda.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
He has been solid and I mean, you know, here's
the difference, Jim, between Trump's first administration and his second.
I don't see a bunch of people clamoring around the
appear to be wanting to write books and stab the
president in the back. You had a lot of that
in the first go round. I see people that are
(39:27):
loyal on message, discipline, and doing the work.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Do you agree, Oh.
Speaker 11 (39:34):
This is one of the best, you know, best people
in his cabinet and in other areas of the government
that I've seen in my lifetime. And I mean I
was around for the Reagan administration, and the Reagan administration
had a great, a great cabinet, but you had people
who were kind of, I don't know, quirky moderates that
(39:58):
were problems, but they did follow what Reagan wanted to do.
Trump has put together very excellent conservative members of this
cabinet who also are willing to work for him, and
that's just a step up even from Reagan's excellent cabinet.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I mean to have to grade it that way.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
So, yeah, this is really helpful for us because in
the previous administration, even the people that were true MAGA
people that went in there were suspect in terms of
what they were leaking out to the media or how
they were undermining the agenda as there was obvious infighting
taking place, and so you had the John Kelly types
that were very problematic. You know, this is really pleasing
(40:41):
to see and I have it makes me hopeful for
what we've got going in the next four years.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I would agree with you, Jim.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Thank you for being here, as always, have a terrific Friday.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
We'll talk again soon.
Speaker 2 (40:53):

It reminds us of how wonderful America is. Plus answers
to America's Voice. Question of the day. Is Mike Walt's
nomination to be the Ambassador of the Unit Nation? Promotion
or demotion? I answered my position, what's yours?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
We'll be right there.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Where is Mike Walt's nomination to be the Ambassador of
the United Nations?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
A promotion or demotion? Why Roger Pierce has this? Why not?
Speaker 1 (42:45):
It's a suitable position? And the other guy was ghosted?
Other guy, I'm sure what he means by that, Ken Hartman,
he could have just gotten rid of him.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
So not a demotion.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
But I think I have a pretty good idea of
what Trump.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Is doing really well. Why don't you share it with us? Ken,
That's what we're here to do, to discuss your thoughts. Anyhow.
Craig Cassetta lateral move.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It takes him out of the limelight for their text issues,
but puts him into a very influential position for the
administration allows Rubio best outspoken advocate to date, to put
the bees to bed. Yeah, Rubio is doing a great job.
Martha Thomas. If it gets him out of this country,
it's a promotion.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I'm not sure what that means.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Richard Ayala, a lot of strange comments on those triting folks.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
That's all right, after a demotion.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
It's a demotion after the signals, whether intentional or accidental.
He can save face by Trump moving him into a different,
less critical role.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Eventually he will leave the administration altogether. Don't know if
that's true. Tom Kowol, I support everything President Trump does.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Well. That's odd, uh, Susan Wendy Hartman, wife Schneider promotion.
President Trump puts people in positions that he knows that
they will do well in. He saw this man struggling,
therefore he made a positive changed.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
I think that's a pretty good take on it. Mike
main Lachlan.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Neither merely a strategic lateral move, a good allocation of resources.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
See, I think is a promotion. And Tina weren't.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Zidizo neither placing him where he can be useful yet
out of the media screty.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Look, I can't pronounce that name. I'm doing the best again.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Catherine Blackhawk demotion because now Trump doubts him, he can't
be trusted. I don't believe that at all. It's not
an emotion, Catherine. If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't
be there. That's fact. That is a fact.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Donald Trump would say, you're fired.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
What a busy week once again, Donald Trump and Michigan.
That was a great rally on Tuesday. We loved it
to mark the one hundredth day. It was good stuff. Anyhow,
hope you have a fabulous weekend.

Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Grits Friday. Thankfully,
April the second. It's good to the day's time. Ye,
thank you as always for tuning in with us here
in Real America's Voice, Bee trully appreciate now. Just this week,
the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination
of Jared Isaacman as NASA's new administry Eisaman will now
face the Senate for a final confirmation of that position.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
It's almost for sure. More on that coming up.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Also, just last night, President Trump signed an executive order
to cut federal funding for both NPR and PBS because
of their efforts to spread woke, anti American propaganda. And
I say, well, it's about damn time. We'll be discussing
that coming up, and then later Health and Human Services
Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior working hard to make America
healthy again. He recently stated that he will ban eight
(01:29):
harreful food dies by the end of next year. All
those details straight ahead as well. But first I'd like
to start here today the jobs reports out. Last month's
job report was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
earlier today, and it seems that the economy is responding
quite well to President Trump's policies, despite predictions of doom
and gloom from the left and tariff latest slowdowns. The
(01:51):
Department of Labor reporting the employers added one hundred and
seventy seven thousand new jobs in April alone, a number
that freest surpassed for tom the so called experts had
predicted for the month.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Now in March, the month.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Before, one hundred and eighty five thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
New jobs were added. In total, the.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Unemployment has remained unchanged for a month ago, remaining at
four point two percent. Very close to historic lows. Look,
four point two percent is a good unemployment number, make
no mistake about it. Shortly after the report was released,
President Trump took the true social and stated, this gasoline
just broke a dollar ninety eight a gallon, lows and years,
groceries and eggs down, energy down, mortgage rates down, employment strong,
(02:32):
and much more good news as billions of dollars pouring
from tariffs, just like I said. And we're only in
a transition stage, just getting started. The point of it
all is that President Trump's policies appear to be working.
We're only in a transition stage, and we're seeing great
numbers like these. Here with me to discuss this in detail,
the director of the Center for the Federal Budget at
(02:53):
the Heritage Foundation, Richard Stern. Richard, one thing I do.
I mean, I need to correct one thing. Most of
what I heard there is accurate, But gas is not
a dollar ninety eight a gallon. I hate to tell
the President that the cheapest I find, Look, it's a
good price. It's two dollars and sixty six cents. That's
the state of Mississippi according to TRIPAA. But look, the
job's report is good. The unemployment number four point two percent.
(03:15):
We are always taught in school that four percent is
basically full employment. So a good number there. Inflation two
point four percent overall, Richard, how would you grade the
economy right now as we stand here today.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Oh? Absolutely, I think you get the nail on the head.
It's doing well.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
It's showing signs of growth and by the way, as
good as those job numbers look, the other thing that's
in the report is that federal employment is down. Yes,
DOGE is doing its job and getting rid of those
federal bureaucrats that do nothing and steal your taxpayer dollars
to do it. And so private sector growth is even
more robust than the total job number gives you.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
And I think you're right.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
You saw a massive uptick in business investment in the
GDP numbers that came. Business optimism is getting better. People
are unshaky about the tariffs, but the underlying structured the
economy is doing very well.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
So that's interesting. The job's number is up one hundred
and seventy seven thousand, but federal jobs have been being eliminated.
So if that hadn't happened, what we looked like today?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Oh so it would have been in the high one eighties.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
And of course you got to keep in mind that
there's also state government jobs and so. And then the
other side of that is that, you know, we know,
the beautiful labor statistics has been raw for years in
a row now, and so we'll have to see what
the revisions are that come in.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I'm sure it'll be better than expected by the time
we get done with everything.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
And you know, the other side of it also is
when you go into the hood and look at this,
a lot of the jobs in the Biden years where
government subsidized jobs, and what you find in this one
is there's more jobs that are in things that people
actually use. There are more transportation and warehousing jobs, for example,
which is a good leading indicator that there's more business
activity going on. Matches the GDP numbers we saw as well.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Let me ask you about this here here's the truth
and reporting question for today. We're going to go back
about ten days, maybe fourteen days in time. And you
saw all of these big outlets, The New York Times,
the Washington Post, NBCCBS, ABC, all of them. It's going
to be the worst April since nineteen thirty two. It's
doom and gloom the Trump, but it was all nonsense.
(05:23):
I'm looking at the markets here today up over five
hundred points is the Dow, that's one point twenty five percent,
the NASDAK of a percent and a half over over
eighteen thousand, and the S and B also up. All
the doom and gloom about the about the markets is
not panning out either. It looks like the markets have
stabilized quite nicely and are starting to climb again.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Oh, absolutely so.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
I think part of this again is the media outlets
are always shakier than the market is. Of course they
don't actually produce real products and employ people for the
most part. But you know, they were upset about the tariffs,
and to be fair, the teriffs could be scary, but
I think we now understand that the president's policy is
for them to be temporary, for them to be a
negotiation tool to get real wins out of other countries.
(06:08):
A lot of the media thought that China was going
to win the trade war. The Chinese are now begging
Trump to cut a deal with them, So, you know,
I think that's why the markets rebounded, is they understand
the strategy of the terriffs. They understand that Trump is
trying to get real wins for the country, and they
understand that. Frankly, the Chinese are panicking a lot more
than our businesses are panicking. All of that is caused
for renewed optimism. But you know that's what you're looking at.
(06:31):
And of course you know as well as I do,
the legacy media looks for every opportunity they can to
try to demonize Trump and scare people.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
About Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Let's talk about China for just a moment here, because
it's an important point that you've made here. Look, China
claims that their economies growing five percent.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's simply not true.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
In fact, many would say they believe that China's economy
is a decline in a real recession already. And so
then Richard, the question comes, how long can China hold out?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
So a little light broke.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Through today, potentially in conversations over Fatanyl and China saying, look,
we'll work on the Fatanyel problem. So that has come
to light. I'm sure you're aware of that. That could
provide the opening for China and the Chinese Communist Party
to begin negotiations without losing face, which is so important.
For folks in the CCP, they have to look like
they stood their ground. But if they start conversations about
(07:23):
FEDYL and it leads somewhere else, all the better. And
so here's my question. If that happens, if we get
to deal with China, we get to deal with the EU,
we put a deal together with Canada, Mexico and the
seven big major trading partners. You know, within a few weeks,
the American economy could really be going great guns, couldn't it.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Oh definitely.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And keep in mind that you're repairing all of that
across the board across the world with domestic attempts by
DOGE to cut regulations, that get rid of bureaucrats that
just spend their day trying to strangle American businesses.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You know, right now, for an average small manufacturer in
the US, the.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Regulatory cost per worker is fifty thousand dollars per year.
So you know, as dose in the president go ahead
trying to get rid of regulations that will also jumpstart
the economy. And then you're absolutely right as we bring
China to the EU, these other countries at the table,
as they get rid of their trade barriers and actually
engage with us in a real fashion. It opens up
(08:20):
markets for American producers and make sure that we're playing
on the level playing field.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You know.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
One of the other problems, of course, is the Chinese
government is dumping these products like evs into our market
and the European markets with the expressed goal of destroying
critical industries that they deem to be a military advantage
to us. So, you know, getting them to end those
practices is good economics. It's also important for our national security.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
They've always done that, Richard.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You know, I can look, I don't have to look
any farther than antibiotics. The Chinese bought up all the
antibiotic factories around the world and in two thousand and
four dropped the price through the floor. The last American
antibiotic facility was in New York State. It went bankrupt
as a result, we don't.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Have one now. China plays dirty like this.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's part and parcel to what they do, and it's
why it has to be stopped. It's one of the
reasons I applaud President Trump for saying, look, we need
to reset the way these things work. Do you think
it's working, Richard, Do you think that we're making progress
that just would China, but with other training partners I do.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
It's hard to know exactly until we start getting deals
inked and side and everything. But at the same time,
I think what we're hearing is the light you were
talking about coming out of the negotiations with China. You're
seeing that across the board with a lot of countries.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
You know.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
One of things I think is an interesting side note on.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
This is, obviously China has gotten around a lot of
these restrictions for years by sending products to Europe, to
South Korea, to Japan and there Vietnam, and.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Then sending them on to the US.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
South Korea actually has started really coming down, bearing down
on these Chinese goods effectively being smuggled through South Korea,
starting to really follow the law on that.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
That's the first time South Korea has ever done that.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
You're seeing that out of a lot of eu CO
countries as well, and so that to me, right, is
this unprecedented step where these countries are finally playing ball
with US with how they're handling China. And that's an
unprecedented move towards these countries choosing the US.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Over China and over.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The ambivalence that they've had just sitting on the fence
in the middle. So I think the sky is the
limit for how good this could be.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Let me look at one more area, one more sector
of the economie region which I think is critical. Maybe
it is the most critical section, and that is energy,
of course, and this present came out with energy policies
from day one, declared an energy emergency and has continued
to follow that path.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
As a result a lot of things that have happened today.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
West Texas Intermedia crewed is at fifty eight dollars a barrel.
That means that energy is cheaper. Gasoline may fluctuate some,
but energy is cheaper. And so when you look at
the inflation being at two point four percent, I would anticipate,
not being an expert like you, but I would anticipate,
being an observer, that inflation would continue to come down
a click here and a click there, which would mean
(11:00):
that your own Powell and the Fed, they're going to
be for They're almost going to have no choice but
to bring interest rates down again. Another thing that can
stimulate the economy in this country, and I look forward
to it.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Will he do it? He?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Jerown Powell pretends to be non political. We know that's
not exactly true.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
What do you anticipate?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
So yeah, I think the important thing that recognized about
the FED, and you brought it up right there, is
that it pretends to be independent.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
We all know it's in deeply political.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Look, Biden passed bill after bill that ratcheted up government spending,
which if the FED had not printed cash, would have
looked bad on day one, and Congress may not have
voted for those bills. But Powell signaled to markets, signaled
to the President and the Congress that he would print
the money out of thin air at the FED, devaluing
(11:49):
all the dollars in your bank account and in your
paycheck to finance Biden's inflationary agenda. The moment that Trump
asked him to lower rates to smooth over his tarif negotions,
Powell told the President to go pound Sam. Now, I'm
not saying the FED should have done either of those,
but it should be consistent about that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
And the only thing that's consistent about Powell.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Is that he helps the liberals, and that's part of
the problem here about this. But I agree with you,
the more energy we have, the lower prices are for
all Americans. The faster economic growth will be for everybody.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Look, give you your crystal ball, Richard, this will be the
last thing. Just give me your forecast three six, nine
months out, not long term, but mid raye job by
late this year, early next year, where do you think
we're going to be.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I think we're probably gonna have unemployment come down a
little bit, not three months, but six to nine months.
I think it might come back down to about four points.
I think you're going to have job growth that's over
two hundred thousand a month probably, And I think you're
going to continue to see an uptick in business investment,
but I would say more six to nine months. But
what I'm anticipating is over the next couple months, we're
going to iron out the rest of these trade deals.
(12:54):
I think three months from now you're going to go
back to having no tariffs because we're going to have
these deals together. And that's the environment, along with the
spinning cuts, along with the deregulation.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I think six to nine months from now you're.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Going to be having all these really great economic stats,
stock market up, business optimism up. But I will warren
if the deals aren't done and the terrorifts are still
there more than three months from now, things start to
get uneasy again.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
But we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well exactly it's a crystal ball, and of course things
happen that we cannot predict, natural, disastrous things of that nature.
But I am optimistic. It sounds like you are as well, Richard.
Thank you for being here. Richard served for the Heritage Foundation.
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Always a pleasure. Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All right, up after the break. That is good news.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
By the way, after the break, President Drums picked the
lead NASA in his second term, is now very close
to becoming the agency's fifteenth administrator after a Senate committee
advanced denomination of Jared Isaacman. We'll talk about that coming
up on America's Voice Live Friday edition. All right. On Wednesday,
(14:01):
the Senate Commerce Committee decided to advance President Trump's nomination
of Jared Isaacman to be a NASA's fifteenth administrator.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
The vote was nineteen to nine.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
During his confirmation hearing earlier this month, senators questioned Isaacmon
on his visions for NASA as they pertain to climate research,
planetary science funding, and the Artemis program, and his private
relationship with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk with the vote to
secure his position as NASA's administrator. On an imminent path
isisacman stands to replace former administrator Bill Nelson take the
(14:31):
range from the current acting administrator and considering the blunder
of leaving astronauts stranded in space for what was it,
nine months, I'd say maybe it's time for someone else
to step into that position. Here's me to discuss it
is the CEO of United Space Sports Spaceports, that IS Corporation,
Rob Lauer.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Rob, nice to see you here today.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Tell me what do you think about mister Isaac Minzi
the right person for the job at this time when
we're I don't know, reinitializing the American space program in earnest.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
One thing we can say about the Trump administration and
Trump's approach to people and focusing on who to hire
putting together a team is he's been reaching out to
successful entrepreneurs like Jared. He's going after people who have
real world experience, who are entrepreneurs, who are wealthy, successful
people in their own industries who frankly don't need this position.
(15:28):
Jared doesn't need this position. He's doing it because he
wants to serve, and that's a lot. I think that's
a pattern we're seeing in this administration is people who
are coming to this industry from the industry, from the
private sector, who understand what it takes to build a business,
to build a company and deal with government. Frankly, that's
(15:48):
a big, huge problem that's always front and center for
any entrepreneurs dealing with government regulations and bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. Bureaucrats
have no sense urgency to get things done. They don't
care about budgets or being on time, they don't care.
Entrepreneurs absolutely must have a sensor urgency to get things done,
(16:10):
work on a budget. And we saw that frankly with
SpaceX and with Elon Musk, who put.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
In his own money one hundred million dollars of.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
His own money to create SpaceX, and if it failed,
he wouldn't no one would know who he is today.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Frankly, he would be a laughingstock.
Speaker 7 (16:26):
But because he took the chance and have that sensor urgency,
and the first three rockets, as we all know, failed,
and that fourth rocket had that failed, SpaceX went being
around today. So what we're learning is and what we
what we've always known is in politics and government, people
are policy and you have to have to hit people
(16:46):
to them.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, let me ask you this because talking about SpaceX
and I just want to jump in there because it's
really important. Elon Musk, obviously on the forefront, wants to
plant the American flag on Mars. It seems to me,
as an observer here and not somebody involved with the
space program. I'm sitting here and observing the American space program.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
It looked like it was da until Elon Musk came along.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It seems like he has revived the American space program
almost single handily. So his relationship with mister Eisenman I
think would be a benefit, not a detriment. But apparently
some senators didn't see that way.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
But do you agree with me?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Did Elon Muskin space all agree the American space program
go further?
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Let's go further.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
What we've seen is in the last four years and
frankly before that is the politicization of the of the
NASA Climate change Those are not the mission.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
That's not the mission of NASA.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
NASA's mission is to put people and satellite technology in space,
on the Moon, on Mars and further expand human liberty
and human exploration around the Solar System and climate change,
and all his DEI stuff is a distraction. It should
not be the mission. It's not the mission. So what
we have over people who are focused on the mission.
(18:02):
Like I said, Jared doesn't need this. He's rich, he's successful,
he's been an astronaut, he's a fighter pilot. He's done
all these things, by the way, with his own money,
not with government money. So he's done these things and
understands what it takes, and he's excited to further the
human experience in space.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
He's not just a bureaucrat who for him.
Speaker 7 (18:24):
For most people, this position in NASA would be a
step up for him, and a lot of the people
who Trump are bringing in these are steps down. These
are people who are coming to the government and foregoing
a lot of money and a lot of prestige that
they normally have and instead they're sacrificing to serve our country.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, absolutely sacrifice. And that's true of a lot of
folks that are in the administration right now. You look
at a whole host of folks that are there, and
as you put it, wealthy successful people that have proven
themselves in the private sector now lending that that expertise
and that ability to move America forward, I mean, and
that should be applauded, shouldn't it.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
Well, I can just tell you as a self employed
entrepreneur all my life, my number one obstacle is government.
Number one obstacle castle harassment, money issue is always government.
And I'll give an example. We followed an application with
the FA. This is about a year and a half
ago before Trump came in, and it was a two
(19:30):
page double space application for a project. And the FA
it self center should take three hours to review and approve.
It took the FA seven months to approve a two
page application. So the problem you have is government and bureaucracy,
and bureaucrats have no sense of urgency to get things done.
(19:51):
Entrepreneurs like Shared and Elon Musk myself, they have a
sense of urgency to get things done.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
We want to get this done in our lifetime. We
don't want to put off.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
This is what we do for Jared a gig to
further his own career that it's got a step up.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
This is these people are there to get things done.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, last quick question, Rob and speaking of our lifetimes,
you and I are not twenty one.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Years of age. I can I can go ahead and
make that wager.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Will we see the American flag on Mars in our lifetime?
Is it possible? Is it likely?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Only if the government gets out of our way and
lets people like Elon Musk do what they do best.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Well, I appreciate that from United Space Sports Corporation, Rob Lower,
good conversation, Rob.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I hope we do plant the American flag on Mars.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I think that would be an inspiration to people, not
just in America but around the world.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Thank you for being here.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
All right, coming up after the break. Just last night,
President Trump signed in an executive order to cut federal
funding for both NPR and PBS for their part in
spreading woke anti American propaganda. More details coming up straight ahead,
(21:13):
all right. On Thursday, late yesterday, President Trump signed an
executive order to cut taxpayer funds to both PBS and
NPR for what for spreading radical, woke, anti American propaganda.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
He says.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
The order instructs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and other
federal agencies to cease federal funding for both companies. Further
requires that they work to root out indirect sources of
public financing for the news organizations. The two broadcasting companies
get roughly half a billion dollars in tax payer money
through the Corporation Probate Broadcasting in order to spread their
woke ideology and agenda. But things are changing with President
(21:51):
Trump in office. No surprise here with me to discuss
this is Real America's voice, Chief White House courseponder, Brian Glenn,
who's happy to take any handouts he might get today.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
After all, it's Friday, hello, Brian.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe it's free beer Friday.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
And maybe the government or MPR PBS can push that
out too.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
A couple of things about this, No surprise. Lawsuits are flying,
accusations are flying, and they're mad as hell. But the
fact the matter, as we talked about in the break
just before we came on, this only CONTs for like
ten percent of their funding.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
They have ninety percent of their budget.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Do you think that all the television and radio stations
that took it on the chin during COVID and some
lost seventy five percent of their sales?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know there it is.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Those people survived, But these guys are going to sit
there on their ivory tower and wag their finger because
they're not getting more taxpayer and support. I bet all
those companies would like some money, wouldn't they, Brian, they.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Would, Steve, they would.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
You know, as a matter of fact, they get about
fifteen to sixteen percent of their total budget comes from
the federal government, about I one hundred and thirty five
million dollars a.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Year from that. And to think that they're claiming.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
That this violating type of you know, First Amendment, right, Well,
I don't remember the font the founding fathers, you know,
saying that public taxpayer money must go to broadcast companies.
Because if that's the fact, why don't Next Star, send
Claire Great Television and others just go ahead and line up,
go to Washington, d C. And try to get all
(23:26):
this federal money that supposedly is your constitutional right. Look
at the end of the day, Steve, if you want
to turn on PBS.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You want to turn on NPR in the car, which
is great, you can do that. You're still going to
get your programming.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
It's just not going to come from federal taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
We're not telling Big Bird to go find a different nest.
We're not putting the cookie monster back in the jar.
We're not putting you know, Oscar the Grouch back in
the trash can.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Those guys still exist.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
But that's what the left wants you to think that
for some reason, we're wiping it away. We're just not
using taxpayer dollars. And this is hugely popling with the people. Steve,
you know this.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
It is people wanted to defund these two outlets for years,
and something's been discussed for my entire professional career has
been floating around. Anyway, because I just had to go
back to an old email, I went back to an
old email. I found town Square Media owns two hundred
and twenty two hundred and thirty radio stations in this country.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Their revenue in twenty one to twenty two was down.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Eighty percent because of COVID regulations and shutdowns in lockdown
eighty percent. You know how much NPR and PBS were
down zero because they take money from the government and
they have these other nonprofits funding them every step of
the way, so they could continue to proliferate this left
wing agenda. While companies are out there competing in the
(24:49):
free market. They skated right through it, and so I
think that's what they're afraid of, Bran, They're afraid of
having to compete on an even playing field.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
You're absolutely correct.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
And that subcommittee on Doge where margin Taylor Green chaired.
That committee brought the CEOs back in front of that panel,
and they really exposed the bias of the media coverage.
They can't sit there for two minutes and try to
convince the American people that their unbiased news organization when you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
And I both know that's not the facts.
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Matter of fact, I have a very good friend that
worked in a major market for PBS. It's a big city, stuff,
years of experience in television. The day after that Doge
subcommittee hearing about the funding, she was fired. She was
released from her job, and I was told that on
a daily basis, President Trump was a punching bag. Margite
(25:47):
Taylor Green was a public enemy number one. They simply
do not like conservatives, They do not like President, they
don't like you, they don't like me. But guess what,
here's a news flash, Rand we don't care. Steve Gruber
doesn't care, and Brian Glenn certainly cares. And guess what,
American people said, you can hate us, but not on
our dime.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But I don't understand, Brian.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
How can anybody not like you? And I I don't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I don't get that. I'm confused.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
I don't know too, lovable guys.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
What is there to like about Steve Gruber and myself?
On Friday?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And by the way, again Friday even and Brian's will
be offering free beer Friday for everybody in the DC area.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Just tracking down. Grazly appreciate you, my friend. Yeah, greatly
appreciate you. We have a great weekend, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Uh this July, by the way, speaking of the summer,
and I mean that's going on. There's a global summit
of bricks Nations in Rio. The block of emerging superpowers
including China, Russia, India, and Iran are meeting with the
goal of displacing the US dollar as a global currency
reserve currency, as they call it, and they're also calling
this the Rio Reset. As bricks Nations push forward with
(26:59):
their plan, global demand for the US dollar could certainly decrease,
bring down the value of the dollars in your accounts,
in your savings account specifically, While this transition won't happen overnight.
The real reset in July marks a pivotal moment when
bricks objectives move decisively from the theoretical toward reality. Learn
of diversifying your savings into gold is right for you.

might have been able to cash it on gold too.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Don't lets your chance.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Coming up after the break, I'll take a look at
Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy's efforts un banning food
dies from big box food brands and why the proposal
is vital for Americans in their good health.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Details coming up.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
The Health and Human Services Secretary Bobby Kennedy announcing his
continued efforts to ban at least eight petroleum based food dies.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That's right, made out of oil. Who wants to eat oil?
The dyes in this.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
List include red forty along with citrus number three to
name some. This effort by RFK juniors to fulfill the
promise of the Make America Healthy Again movement where is
Kennedy is seeking to drive down the prevalence of chronic disease. Additionally,
preliminary dot show that, besides being unhealthy, the consumption of
these dies could be linked to hyperactivity and children, driving
(28:53):
up the prevalence of ADHD for example. Therefore, prescription medications
like adderall gets sold faster. You see how this vicious
cycle works. Here and now to discussed this is tp
USA contributor one of my favorites, Anthony Watson Anthony, Happy
Friday to you. Look, I don't get it, so I
(29:14):
don't need seaweed, but apparently people in my family do.
I find it odd. I'm just going to tell you that.
But here's a seaweed packet. It's supposed to be the
healthiest thing you could possibly eat. This is a couple
of weeks ago. My wife flips it over. It's green,
it's got green dye in it. I guess your seaweed
isn't attractive enough all by itself, you gotta put green.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Dye on it.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
And when you start consuming this stuff, I mean, I
don't know what they're putting on our bodies. I'm totally
with Bobby Kennedy on this.
Speaker 9 (29:37):
What say you, I'm totally with Bobby Kennedy on this
as well. For the longest time, everyone on the conservative
side has been saying that there's a health crisis that's
now pushing the promotion of big pharma. Because every single
time you see a health crisis, every single time you
see any kind of new disease, every single time you
see something chronic, guess who's right there, the government with
(29:57):
all of their big pharmaceutical companies and check that now
have Americle miraculous and ready to go drug to now
combat these things that now get people hooked and weaken
their immune systems. And so what we're starting to see
now is that now we're finally starting to take our
health back and actually do it to produce longevity in
the citizens of America. Because if that doesn't get anyone's attention,
(30:18):
you look at every other country around the world.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You look at Europe, you look at.
Speaker 9 (30:21):
Asia, you look at even countries beneath us and South
America that look at a lot of the snacks and
the things that we produce and put on our shelves
for regular to everyday consumption, they don't sell them there
because of the health risks that they cause. And so
now by taking control of this, it's now a way
for us to step in the right directions to actually
give people the health that they need to actually continue
(30:41):
living in the lives that they want for themselves.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
In fact, if they do sell things. Froot loops is
one of the easy things to point out. Foot loops
in the EU and elsewhere are not the same fruit
loops should get in America because they don't have those colors.
They have organic based colors from vegetables and fruits and
so forth. We have petroleum apparently, which seems very odd
to me. You whoever thought, hey, let's eat the oil.
(31:06):
The point that I'm getting at is highly processed foods.
Maybe it contributes to ADHD, maybe it contributes to other illnesses.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
We need to clean up our act more.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
More farm to table experience would be a lot healthier,
wouldn't this.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
Absolutely and that's why you're starting to see families across
the country now go to.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Raw milks and raw eggs.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
They're starting to now purchase those things where now farmers
make it available for you to purchase cattle that you
can now have butchered and last you an entire year
for your family and everybody else that can invest in
those kinds of things. It's a harder thing to do
because things that are now produced at such a mass
quantity so poorly. It's the kind of the thing do
you want quality over quantity? And the quantity that we've
pumped out for the past couple of decades has been
(31:48):
easy to make, but at what expense at people's health
and at people's livelihoods.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And so now you're.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Starting to see a shift of people that actually want
to start taking control of their health to actually give
them the chance of the life that they actually desperately.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Want to live for.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, there you go. Look, I'm a chicken rancher for
that very reason. We go on collect eggs every day.
People are doing what they can. You know, a lot
of these cities now allow you to have three or
four or five hands laying hands. Look, anything you can
do to make your health better. I think people should do.
You've got to go away from all this box nonsense.
But something else really need to do, Anthony. We need
(32:23):
to make sure that some of these places, like big
urban areas, big cities, they need access to fresh food
and fresh foods and vegetables as well, because they don't
have it as much. They've got all this stuff. It's
pre packaged box nonsense. We need to do a better job.
We've got the farmers and the farmers to do it.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
I think we can do better in that arena. What
do you think.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
I definitely think that we can do better.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
And I will say, for as messed up as we've been,
we're on the right track to getting better because nobody
really knows what's better for them until they try it.
And now a lot of these big corporations are now
working extra hard to keep all of the good stuff
out because now all of the processed stuff has been.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Their money maker for all these years.
Speaker 9 (32:58):
Where they didn't even have to look at the machine
means they didn't have to look at the stores to
see how stock they were because everything was just coming
in so regularly. But with the demand of everybody wanting
better things for themselves. I think it's time that people
and government and conglomerates and corporations actually listen to the
people that are making these requests, because everything that has
made and always promoted to be like, oh, we're doing
(33:18):
this for you, we're doing it for convenience, We're doing
it just to make it easier for you. But anything
that's worth having in life is always going to come
with a little bit of a struggle intentionally to see
how much it's worth it to you. And a lot
of people now have to ask themselves the question how
much does their health mean to them?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
How much does their livelihood mean to them? How much
does their familyhood mean to them?
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Because all of those things that they now consume and
put in their body are now either adding to the
longevity or taking away from it.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
That's right, Anthony, you asked me about how things are
on the d Let me tell you this.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
In Detroit, Michigan, there are plenty of areas.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now where they've turned it into local co ops and
farms and turned well we're you know, empty lots into
places to grow food. I mean efforts runderway. We're getting there,
but there's more work to be done. Anthony, thank you
for being here as always.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Deve, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
I have a good weekend, you too, my friend.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
All right, after the break, I'll be discussing Mike Walton
his new nomination by President Trump to be the ambassador
to the United Nations.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Is it a promotion?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I think so. Some don't see it that way. We'll
discuss it after the break, all right. Well, on Thursday,
President Trump nominated Mike Waltz to be his administration's ambassador
to the United Nations. It came just hours after Waltz
(34:36):
stepped down from his role as the National Security Advisor.
Democrats currently trying to create a false narrative that his
removal as NSA was.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
Quote due to the Signal Gate League. However, JD.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Vans recently denied those allegations and called Waltz's un ambassador
nomination a promotion. Vice President also said that Waltz has
the trust of both himself and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
See for yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
So it was a let go.
Speaker 10 (35:03):
He is being made ambassadors to the United Nations, which
of course is a seneconfirm position. I think you can
make a good argument that it's promotion, But we brought
Mike on to do some serious reforms of the National
Security Council. He has done that.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
I like Mike. I think he's a great guy. He's
got the trust of both me and the President.
Speaker 10 (35:19):
But we also thought that he'd make a better UN
ambassador as we get beyond this stage of the reforms
that we've made to the National Security Council.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Marco Ruby I.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Meanwhile, I was acting as the interim leader of the
National Security Council, as the National Security Advisor. Here'll be discussed.
This is the President of the Republican Caucus, Jim Fafft. Jim,
nice to see you here today. Look, I think it's
a promotion, but I had a debate here on this
network earlier today from folks that don't think Mike Waltz
going over to the United Nations is a step up.
(35:51):
Here's why I think it is. And you tell me
your thoughts. We've got a lot going on with the
tariffs and negotiating with the world. You've got the war Ukraine,
You've got what's going on with Hamas and the Huthis,
And if you're the ambassador Denied Nations, you're going to
be in the thick of.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
All of that right from day one. I think it's
a big job.
Speaker 11 (36:10):
What do you think, Well, I think he does have
the President's trust, but I do suspect I had something
to do with the signal thing. I don't know that
for a fact, but you know, that was an incident
that could have ended up being very embarrassing. Certainly they
had to work through, and you just have to, you know,
be cautious about situations like that. And but to be candid,
(36:32):
it is a step up truly because the UN thing
is going to be very very important, uh, with the
for the reasons you said, but also because we have
to assert ourselves in that body constantly. And Donald Trump
has a policy of working closely with Israel. The UN
is constantly going after Israel in ways that are absurd often,
(36:56):
and Mike Waltz is, you know, in a active guy
both in communications and really taking a tough stand when
necessary on those key issues.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
So I think it's kind of a mix here.
Speaker 11 (37:09):
And and they're going to be some good options for
filling that position. Obviously Marco Rubio's handling it right now,
but there's gonna there are gonna be some really good
options for helping that key service to the president be
able to undertake and.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Well, Marco Rubio's number two was suggestive of the job,
and Marco Rubio said, uh, I like him too much.
He's got job locked because a lot of these people
are not going to be able to be moved around
because people like him. Look, and while we're on this topic, Jim,
how good is Marco Rubio doing it? I've been talking
about this for the last couple of weeks. Now, I mean,
(37:45):
he is rock solid. He's solidly got the President's back.
He's on He's on message every time he's in there
in the Oval office.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
He is a master when.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
It comes to these sideways questions when he goes on
ancient media because they throw curve balls at him all
the time. And he is a master at defending the administrations.
It's policies, it's agenda and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
What do you think of the job Marco Rubio is doing.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
Listen, he is a great communicator. My one beef with
Marco Rubio over time, like he came in as a
tea party darling.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
In twenty ten and very positively so.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
But he has been supporting the Patriot Act, which I
have serious reservations about been voting to vote. I was
very worried about what that might mean. I am very
pleasantly surprised. So far, I think he's done a fantastic job,
and especially when the USAID thing came up, he has
(38:43):
been masterful in dealing with that and helping the president
navigate getting rid of what that institution has been doing.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
So yeah, I think he's fabulous so far.
Speaker 11 (38:53):
At least, I don't have any reason to be negative
at all, and very many reasons to think that he's
serving the president an excellent way that's going to benefit
Trump's agenda.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
I would agree with that.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
He has been solid and I mean, you know, here's
the difference, Jim, between Trump's first administration and his second.
I don't see a bunch of people clamoring around the
appear to be wanting to write books and stab the
president in the back. You had a lot of that
in the first go round. I see people that are
(39:27):
loyal on message, discipline, and doing the work.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Do you agree, Oh.
Speaker 11 (39:34):
This is one of the best, you know, best people
in his cabinet and in other areas of the government
that I've seen in my lifetime. And I mean I
was around for the Reagan administration, and the Reagan administration
had a great, a great cabinet, but you had people
who were kind of, I don't know, quirky moderates that
(39:58):
were problems, but they did follow what Reagan wanted to do.
Trump has put together very excellent conservative members of this
cabinet who also are willing to work for him, and
that's just a step up even from Reagan's excellent cabinet.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
I mean to have to grade it that way.
Speaker 11 (40:17):
So, yeah, this is really helpful for us because in
the previous administration, even the people that were true MAGA
people that went in there were suspect in terms of
what they were leaking out to the media or how
they were undermining the agenda as there was obvious infighting
taking place, and so you had the John Kelly types
that were very problematic. You know, this is really pleasing
(40:41):
to see and I have it makes me hopeful for
what we've got going in the next four years.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
I would agree with you, Jim.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
Thank you for being here, as always, have a terrific Friday.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
We'll talk again soon.

It reminds us of how wonderful America is. Plus answers
to America's Voice. Question of the day. Is Mike Walt's
nomination to be the Ambassador of the Unit Nation? Promotion
or demotion? I answered my position, what's yours?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
We'll be right there.
Speaker 1 (42:34):
Where is Mike Walt's nomination to be the Ambassador of
the United Nations?
Speaker 3 (42:37):
A promotion or demotion? Why Roger Pierce has this? Why not?
Speaker 1 (42:45):
It's a suitable position? And the other guy was ghosted?
Other guy, I'm sure what he means by that, Ken Hartman,
he could have just gotten rid of him.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
So not a demotion.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
But I think I have a pretty good idea of
what Trump.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Is doing really well. Why don't you share it with us? Ken,
That's what we're here to do, to discuss your thoughts. Anyhow.
Craig Cassetta lateral move.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
It takes him out of the limelight for their text issues,
but puts him into a very influential position for the
administration allows Rubio best outspoken advocate to date, to put
the bees to bed. Yeah, Rubio is doing a great job.
Martha Thomas. If it gets him out of this country,
it's a promotion.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I'm not sure what that means.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Richard Ayala, a lot of strange comments on those triting folks.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
That's all right, after a demotion.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
It's a demotion after the signals, whether intentional or accidental.
He can save face by Trump moving him into a different,
less critical role.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Eventually he will leave the administration altogether. Don't know if
that's true. Tom Kowol, I support everything President Trump does.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Well. That's odd, uh, Susan Wendy Hartman, wife Schneider promotion.
President Trump puts people in positions that he knows that
they will do well in. He saw this man struggling,
therefore he made a positive changed.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
I think that's a pretty good take on it. Mike
main Lachlan.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Neither merely a strategic lateral move, a good allocation of resources.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
See, I think is a promotion. And Tina weren't.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Zidizo neither placing him where he can be useful yet
out of the media screty.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Look, I can't pronounce that name. I'm doing the best again.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
Catherine Blackhawk demotion because now Trump doubts him, he can't
be trusted. I don't believe that at all. It's not
an emotion, Catherine. If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't
be there. That's fact. That is a fact.
Speaker 3 (44:33):
Donald Trump would say, you're fired.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
What a busy week once again, Donald Trump and Michigan.
That was a great rally on Tuesday. We loved it
to mark the one hundredth day. It was good stuff. Anyhow,
hope you have a fabulous weekend.
