Let's feel good. America's Voice Live. It starts now.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates filling in
for Steve Gruber. It is Monday, July fourteenth. Let's get
right into today's top stories. A recently released report from
the Government Accountability Office details the failures of the Secret
Service during last year's assassination attempt on then presidential candidate
Donald Trump. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joins us to
(01:04):
discuss plus. The Lone Star State continues the search and
rescue efforts as another wave of rain and thunderstorms halted
efforts over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
The very latest on that ongoing effort and then later
we'll have the latest on President Trump's new tariffs, which
are set to take effect in just a few weeks.
What will the taxes on imports mean for your pocketbook
and more importantly, the overall economy. Those stories and so
much more right now on America's Voice Live.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
All right, let's get right to it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
President Trump has had a super busy day as he
welcomed NATO's Secretary General to the White House. The duo
discussed concerns about the Russia Ukraine War and NATO's role
in helping.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Ukraine defend itself.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
President Trump also used the meeting to announce plans to
slap Russia with severe secondary tariffs if Russian President Vladimir
Putin does not agree to a cease fire deal within
the next fifth the days.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
We hope that's going to have an impact on Vladimir Putin,
and we hope it's going to.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Have an impact on Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Also.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We want to make sure that Ukraine does what they
have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
All of a sudden they.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Have they may feel embolded and maybe they don't want.
You know, there's a very difficult situation. Ukraine wants, I think,
and they will stake omitted.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That doesn't no doubt they want traditions have to they.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Have to continue to want to all of a sudden
they well, we'll make sure I feel confident that they
will do what has to be done.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Plus we have certain parameters that both sides know.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
President Trump has expressed expressed, excuse me, frustration with Russia
over its unwillingness to come to a deal. The President
also says deliveries of military aid to Ukraine are set
to resume, and NATO is taking a more active role
in that process and in the funding. Here with me
to discuss this, as the former Special assistant to President Trump,
Colonel Derek Harvey.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Colonel Harvey, good to see you, sir.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Great to be here, Terrence.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
So let's start here. Do you trust Vladimir Putin? And
this is I guess somewhat of a rhetorical question, but
it seems like President Trump has tried to blowmacy and
at every turn of Vladimir Putin privately may say one thing,
but publicly we're seeing something completely different.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Well, that's right, and you know the President has you know,
made serious offers and has seriously engaged mister Putin to
try to work a way forward that would accommodate, you know,
some Russian interests, but you know, protect Ukrainian and Western interests.
And unfortunately, we've now reached an inflection point where Putin
(03:48):
has not played ball with the West, and President Trump
and the administration have decided that they need to shift
gears to you know, this new deal here, which is
working through NAY to sell weapons, ammunitions and other material
to NATO countries who then will transfer those items to Ukraine.
(04:10):
What the funding mechanism will be, whether the Europeans pay
for it themselves or they charge Ukraine eventually, that's an
important element. But Pewtin has been steadfast and just playing
the long game. And I think we could talk about
what his goals are in a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
If you want, let's do.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Okay, you open the door, so let's do go there.
What do you see his goals as being, because the
reality is ending the war and ending bloodshed doesn't seem
to be one of them.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
It doesn't. What he wants is he wants to maintain
ownership of the territories of Ukraine that he has occupied,
not just in this latest offensive a few years ago
at the start of the Biden administration, but also hold
on to territories he acquired earlier during the Obama years,
Crimea for example. So that's part one. Part two is
(05:01):
he definitely wants to have a friendly proxy regime in
Kiev that will be subject to the influence and interests
of Moscow, and that is something that you know, the
Ukrainian people are fighting against, and not just Zelenski but
the Western allies you know, are fighting for the independence
(05:23):
of Ukraine. And so that there's not a proxy or
a puppet there that will just be a staging platform
for further Russian influence.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
All right, So let's take your premise there. If there
is a regime in Ukraine in Kiev that is supportive,
say of Russia, of Putin, then is that really a
staging point to try to move beyond Ukraine to potentially
attack a Poland, which of course will be attacking NATO.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Well that's the big question, and you know there are
various viewpoints on that by different European intelligence agencies as
well as our own intelligence services. So I don't think
we absolutely are certain what's in the mind of Putin
or those around him in that regard, but there are
a tremendous amount of indicators and suggestions that going to
(06:17):
you know, what Putin really wants is to expand the
sphere of influence and degrade the ability of NATO to
you know, have you know the alliance structure it has
in the Balkans, Okay, in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, you know,
and farther south to Romania. So that seems to be
as objective to roll back western influence along that whole
(06:41):
eastern part of NATO.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Which is the fact though then a challenge to NATO
and to the West.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
No, that is exactly right, and you know, the President
has been very clear that you know, this is not
our war. Ukraine is not our war. Americans are not
fighting there. It's not Trump's war, I think, is what
I heard today. But there are American interests there, and
you know, we do want to see the war end
in this area. The question is going to be when
(07:10):
Phutan is dug in. And you know, this increase of
defensive capability and more logistical support for Ukraine will be
helpful in continuing the war, but it will not fundamentally
change the dynamics of the war in my view. Secondary
thank second issue, secondary sanctions fifty days it'll probably take
(07:31):
about fifty days to figure out how one would actually
implement and execute those But even that's a very difficult
thing for the West and the United States to actually
execute effectively to have the significant impact that would be
needed to change the direction of Moscow.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Colonel Harvey, I realized that war is not simplistic. But
I'm a simplistic person. This reminds me of a schoolyard brawl,
and there's the bully who's attacking everyone. Vladi putin in
Russia would be that bully. And sometimes the best way
to deal with the bully you can't offer your lunch
money or say hey, I'll give you fifteen bucks if
you leave me alone. You just got to punch them
in the face. And simplistically, I don't realize it's simplistic,
(08:12):
but it seems to me that we're almost coming to
that juncture where something, something beyond tariffs and something you know, disciplinary,
has got to happen. There's got to be some real
guts to something, and my own base there is that
too simplistic.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Well, the pain has to get to sech a point
that you know, Moscow has to reconsider its course of action.
That it's been following so far, and you know, I'm
not sure that we're there yet, although the war is
you know, raged on for you know, a number of
years now at great cost, human suffering, economic costs, et cetera.
But you know, this is similar to World War One.
(08:51):
It's almost trench warfare where the lines have been stagnant
for some time. The Ukrainians have been really creative using drones,
the deep str RKEs, you know, hitting you know, seven
different air bases, taking out strategic nuclear bombers and things.
But it's going to take more offensive capability and maneuver
warfare in order to be able to retake territory. And
(09:15):
they don't have that. They don't have the maneuver elements,
and they don't have those you know, tank battalions, brigades
and divisions that are necessary along with effective air support
and deep strike capabilities and sufficient numbers to allow them
to do that. So this is this is going to
ratchet it up, but I don't think we're going to
(09:35):
hit a pain threshold that changes Moscow's decision making.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And it seems to me that Moscow is also just
showing a lot of bravado that on the world stage.
It's almost as this is a face off between Putin
and President Trump in which privately, again there seems to
be one conversation, and then once President Trump makes an
announcement about okay, we've finally got in someplace, we're moving forward,
(10:00):
then Putin backs away or at least says something else,
and it leaves President Trump in alert to some degree.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You're right, Terrence, And you know, the other thing is
to keep in mind that there are still options that
both sides have, and they're escalatory option. RCA still has
strategic and operational and tactical nuclear capabilities. They can you know,
strike elsewhere to create diversions or to refocus you know,
(10:29):
NATO's attention in a way that would be escalatory but
also be like brinksmanship and causing you know, people to
really step back and where we headed, What are we
going to do? Do we really want to risk you know,
further escalation that could get out of control, and so
we hope saying our heads, you know, stay in control
(10:50):
of this. But you know, there's a lot of risk here,
and that's been one of the fundamental concerns of you know,
people in the national strategy, security strategy arena for some
time that this could quickly get out of control and
bring us into a cataclysmic situation.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
When you say cataclysmic and we'll end on this, I'm
assuming your meaning and all out war that would involve
NATO and potentially the United States.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Well, surely there are options of tactical nuclear weapons being
used at you know, you know, Moscow is threatening that
at different points in time, and once you cross some
threshold like that, or you go after some capability or
go into Lithuania with a threat, things can quickly unravel
(11:36):
human nature. You can't control everything. There's so much the
fog of war takes place. Decisions are made at a
local level that can have ramifications strategically, and that's when
problems happen. And that's why we've had, you know, you know,
be really careful about providing offensive weapons, the discussions about
(11:58):
you know, limiting the striking offensive capabilities of your Craine,
because we didn't want to cross a threshold that could
escalate and get us into this quagmar.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Colonel Harvey, we appreciate your time, great perspective there. I
don't know if you're a praying man, but I definitely am,
and I hope it doesn't escalate to what you just
described there. That would be cataclysmic as you described. Thanks
so much for being here with us.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Thank you, Karence. God bless you.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I absolutely bless you as one my friends.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Coming up after the break, A recently released report from
the Government Accountability Office details the failures of the Secret
Service during last year's attempt on President Trump's life. Stick
around to hear from Senator Ron Johnson right after this break.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Back to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates. We appreciate
you being here with us.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
President Trump has had the last year to think about
the value of life. It was one year ago yesterday
when an assassin tried to take his life and then
the process shot off part of his ear during a
campaign rally.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And it's remarkable to think that it was only one
year ago this week that my time on earth nearly ended.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
And if you look at that, God was with me.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Because that's some editor in theory. I should not be
with you for that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office, specifically from
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, cited numerous shortcomings by the
Secret Service. The probe also found there were communication failures
and a lack of specific and complete guidance for the
agents assigned to that rally. The Secret Service has suspended
six agents without pay for ten to forty two days.
(13:42):
Senator Round Johnson of Wisconsin joining me now to discuss
this and so much more. Senator Johnson, thanks so much
for taking out some time to be here with us.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Terre, I'm so happy to be with you.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So let's start here the suspensions for these six Secret
Service agents.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Does that go far enough in your estimation? Should there
be firings?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
First of all, it came about a year too late.
You know my staff, I'm chairman of the permise of
coming investigation, but even as ranking member my staff, investigators
immediately after the Butler assassination attempt reached out to local
law enforcement and gathered most of the information we've got
in terms of all the problems in terms of security
(14:21):
around that rally. We issued a report, a very detailed
timeline within a couple of weeks, joined the Byparis and
effort here came up with the preliminary report. Our problem
is is that passed the first couple of weeks when
local law enforcement to talk freely to us at to
that point everybody started climbing up. But we have not
gotten you know, for example, the interview notes from the
(14:43):
fbis hundreds of interviews with people. We've been granted interviews
with maybe a couple dozens seeking service personnel. The government
just has not been forthcoming to the American public in
terms of exactly what they know about that rally. So
here we are a year later and we don't know
a whole lot more than what my staff uncovered in
the first week or two.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Why do you think that is? Obviously the administration has changed.
It seems like this case would have been fast tracked
from all agencies, all law enforcement agencies. But from what
you're telling me, and I think from what most of
us who even are casually observing this investigation of seeing,
not much has come.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I think there's probably a couple of things I think
you can just tell. And I completely understand this President Trump.
Anybody who's ever been protected by the Secret Service, they
love their protectors, you know, they love those Secret Service agents.
They are people who men and women who are willing
to sacrifice their life to save their own. So there's
a reluctance to criticize the Secret Service agents, you know,
the other dynamic that's occurring here, and you're getting more
(15:41):
and more news reports about this of you know, lawyers
within the Just Department resigning because they're radical leftis themselves
probably and just can't tolerate their president Trump's empsis on folks,
on America and the rule of law. And so it's
very difficult though. And plus I think that Trump ministration
has also let some of the parties go. So there's
(16:01):
pregocized void inside the Department Justice, and it's hard to
recruit other attorneys to fill that void because of all
the lawfare. And we've got a prime example, Judge Troopas
in Wisconsin, a first class jurist lawyer represent the president
after the twenty twenty election, and because he a lawyer
(16:22):
represented the president the United States, the Attorney General of
Wisconsin is out to destroy him through lawfare. And it
doesn't take too many examples that the deep state, that
the radical leftists in government, they make these examps of
these individuals and other people say, I think I actually
want a career, I want to be able to take
care of my family. And so it has devastating impact
(16:43):
in terms of the Trump administration. Just being able to
staff the Department Justice with people who are loyal to
President Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's a real problem.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Another challenge that the administration is facing is being able
to pull money from agencies like USAID as well as
public brought casting. We're talking millions of dollars that President
Trump wants to pull from those agencies. It's my understanding
that you and your colleagues are going to probably be
soon debating a measure that would allow the President to
move forward with that.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Well, when you take a look at the fact that
in twenty nineteen, part of the pandemic, we spent a
total four point four trillion dollars. This year we'll spend
over seven trillion, it's a fifty eight percent increase. Our
population has grown less than three percent. It's completely unjustified,
and yet we're just having a devil of a time
trying to dial that spending back to a reasonable pre
pandemic level. Again, unfortunately, we got big spenders in our party,
(17:36):
so it's not easy to reduce spending, even though it's
the Democrats who buy in large maintained level at that
COVID level spending when they should have dialed it back
to a reasonable pre pandemic level. So again, it's completely irrational.
Drives me nuts. I've been trying to lay out these numbers.
I've been trying to show my colleagues, this is what
a reasonable pre pandemic level spending would look like, somewhere
(17:59):
between five points five and six point five trillion dollars,
going back to actual allays from Clinton, Obama and Trump
twenty nineteen, inflating them by population inflation, leaving soul skating medicare,
and he's just as is. Again, we should be spending
somewhere between five point five and six point five and
we're spending over seven trillion dollars.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
It's absurd.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
What is your expectation moving forward? Yes, the one big
beautiful bill has passed, but there are at least a
couple more bites at the apple, if you will, in
terms of the reconciliation process. What do you expect to
come out of that, if anything at all? What are
some of your concerns some of the things that you'd
like to see maybe kind of added or even taken
out of the current bill.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
In addition to proposing some reasonable pre pandemic spending options
prior to passing the one big, Beautiful Bill. I also
laid out a budget review process, line by line, program
by program to go through, basically an auditing process, so
unlike we've ever done, twenty five per cent of the
budget is discretion sory, so Congress at least debates and
(18:58):
votes on that to a certain extent, and seventy five
percent is mandatory. Now it's not just socialcating Medicare, but
even Medicaid. There's a trillion dollars of other mandatory spending.
We're spending close to over two hundred billion dollars more
than fully inflated twenty nineteen other mandatory spending.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
So again, there's plenty.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Of ways if you just use that simple control absolut
always from prior years, plused up for population inflation, take
a look at what we're actually spending and dialing it back.
And in business, this would be a five minute conversation
with my managers going, hey, guys, I told you can
increase your budget based on inflation, the number of customers
you served, where you're twenty three or forty, you're ninety
percent higher than that, dial it back.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I think that's what a lot of Americans are saying
to you and your colleagues and to everyone else there
on Capitol Hill, dial it back. I think that's our
word of the day before I let you go very quickly.
Just this morning, President Trump basically threatened Russia, saying if
Vadimir Putin doesn't reach a deal with Ukraine that he's going.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
To tariff them.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Your thoughts on all all of that, and where does
that situation stand? And even I guess from a broader perspective,
where does the US stand under President Trump? When in
NATO and on the world stage, how do you see this?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, like the Iatols in Iran, President Trump has given
Vladimir Putin every opportunity to achieve piece on a very
favorable term. Okay, Unfortunately Iahtolas and now Vladimir Putin's not
taking him up on the offer, which is very unfortunate.
And President Trump is all about economic deals. You could
have put something with rare earth minerals in the disputed
(20:32):
territories of Ukraine. You could have ended that conflict, end
of the bloodshed on both sides. But Vladimir Putin is
the aggressor.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Again.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I think he's an evil war criminal myself, and it's
very difficult to achieve peace when when people hate each
other this way, when you've seen death on both sides,
it's very difficult to again dial it back.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
If you were betting man, would you say peace in
the next six to eight months. Maybe those are arbitrary numbers,
but I figured we'll start somewhere.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I hope and pray for it again. President Trump was
pretty confident he could bring peace to that region in
twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Obviously that wasn't possible.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It wasn't from lack of trying.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
All right, Senator Johnson will have to leave the conversation there.
We appreciate your time. Thanks so much for.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Being here with us every day. All right, you as well.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Coming up after the break, the Lone Star State continues
its search and rescue efforts as another wave of rain
and thunderstorms halted efforts over the weekend. For due to
those flood mornings that remain in effect.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We'll have more.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Welcome back everyone, Terrance Bates here. Over the weekend, a
new round of flash floods tour through central Texas. The
death toll from the flooding is now up to at
least one hundred and thirty two people.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Emergency crews are.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Back at recovery efforts following heavy rain and renewed flood
threats in Kerk County over the weeks.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Warnings are currently going.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Into effect as rivers in that area are expected to
swell to flood stage it again. Here with me now
is the CEO and President of Choral Ridge Ministries and
the founder of the Institute for Faith and Culture, Pastor
Rob Pascienza, pastor good to see.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You, Good to see you.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
So these sorts of natural disasters, one would think bring
people closer to God, bring people closer to faith. Are
you seeing that in this particular case or can you
put that into breader perspective for us if you will.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I am for the most part, I'm seeing churches and
other charities in our region, in particular here in Fort Lauderdale,
rally together to support the needs.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We've already been in touch.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
With local officials, church leaders in the regions that have
been affected by the flood. So we're definitely seeing in
the faith community people coming together. However, I would warn
I think the broader culture, the broader society, unfortunately, we're
seeing stories and new clips all over the place that
(23:02):
are using this opportunity to politicize the moment, and we
really need to steer clear of that. This is a
moment to look to God and his sovereign hand to
bring comfort and protection to people that are hurting, and
as a time for the nation to rally, particularly the
faith community, not a time to politicize this moment.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
In situations like this, my pastor often says, it's not
enough to be Christian in these moments, but you really should.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Be more christ Like, to act more christ Like. Can
you take that a little bit further? How do you
interpret that?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I see you smile a little bit, so I suspect
you might agree with that assessment a little bit.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Absolutely. I love how your pastor puts it. I like
to put it Christian in name only. We really see
who is Christian to name only when these opportunities arise,
and to really see who steps forward, who steps forward
by faith, And this is an opportunity, absolutely to be
christ Like. Christianity has always been at its best when
(24:00):
it's run towards the darkness, when it's brought hope and healing,
life and light into moments of tragedy like this. Over
the past two thousand years, Christianity has been the greatest
movement the world has ever seen. But it hasn't been
because they have retreated from darkness and tragedy, but they've
run towards it, bringing the message of Christ, not only
(24:23):
preaching it, but demonstrating it in love and acts of service.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Do you think that God sometimes puts these sorts of
challenges in front of communities, in front of us as
a nation, to bring us close together?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And I asked that question.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I guess more philosophically, but I realized that the church,
when we talk about the church, it's not the building,
it is the people. And what you just described is
that the church is mobilizing there in South Florida to help.
The people are coming together to mobilize to help. Do
you think that's is that part.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Of the plan?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And I guess who am I to question God's plan?
But do you see some elevance there?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
We not only believe that God is sovereign on the
best days, but we believe that God is sovereign on
our worst days. We're not only we not only see
his sovereign hand working in moments of joy but also
moments of sorrow, but He's always called his people as
Jesus calls his disciples in Matthew chapter five to be
the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
(25:22):
He caused them to be a sitting on a hill,
so you're absolutely correct. He calls them to go into
the world teaching people to observe everything that he commanded,
but also to bring a message of reconciliation, a message
of healing, to be that alternative city, and to bring
shalom in the midst of chaos.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Amen, pastor Amen, you are out here preaching for us. Always.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Good to see you, my friend. Thank you so much
for your time. And I needed that word seriously. I
guess I was kind of trying to preach to myself,
but I needed to hear it from someone else.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Thanks so much for being here with us.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Thank you all right, Well, folks, Since President Trump was
sworn into office, his administration has made enormous progress at
a breakneck pace.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But don't forget.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
While they're moving mountains for the good of the nation,
they also can't take your personal savings into account. That's
where you have to step up and do it. And
one of the best ways to look after your savings
is through diversification, particularly with gold from the folks over at.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The Birch Gold Group.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
In the past twelve months, the value of gold is
increased by forty percent. Central banks continue to bolster demand
for gold by buying in record quantities and global instability
intension is the highest it's been in decades, which makes
gold and owning the physical gold extremely easy. And it's
easily converted into an existing irray of four to one
(26:43):
k and you can do so one attack sheltered irray
in physical gold, or you can buy some gold and
store it in your home safe. All you have to
do is text the word America to the number ninety
eight ninety eight ninety eight and the Birch Gold Group
will send you a free information kit on gold.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And there's there's no.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Obligation here, only useful information with an A plus rating
with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of
satisfied customers. Take control of your savings today by texting
the word America to the number.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, coming up after the break, we'll have the latest
on President Trump's August first tariff day is what will
the taxes on imports mean for your pocketbook and the
overall economy.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
New York City.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yes, it is good morning to your good afternoon everyone.
President Trump threatening Russia with tariffs if Moscow doesn't reach
on an agreement related to its ongoing war with Ukraine.
The deadline is going to be within fifty days now.
Other countries are facing in August first deadline to feel
the pinch of tariffs as well. Revised tariffs are set
(27:54):
to take effect for US trade partners, including Mexico and
the European Union. Both reportedly face at thirty two percent
duty on goods sent to the United States. Furthermore, President
Trump says that if Mexico or the EU were to
raise rates on US goods, the United States will charge
an even higher reciprocal tariff. So here to talk with
us about this is the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Costantino.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Anthony, good to see you.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, great to be here and happy to be talking
about this.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
So I'm going to play off of Sticker Mule the
title of your company, because I would imagine Americans can
expect to face some sticker shock the moment these tariffs
go into effect.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, you know, not necessarily.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
The great thing I saw about it was just last month,
we had record twenty seven million in import revenue right
tariff revenue for the first time twenty seven billion, sorry billion,
which annualized is over three hundred billion, and that number
can continue growing. We're taxing Americans like crazy, but now
we're bringing revenue in from other places to something that's
never been done before, and I think it can really
help the American economy a lot of the things that
(28:55):
are being terriffe or not.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I'm in the manufacturing space.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
We're also in a great situation not necessarily have to
make things overseas anymore. I'm making all my products for
the most part in the United States. We're currently outsourcing
something called a T shirt because it's hard to do
it here. But we have a big breakthrough at Sticker
Mule thanks to advanced robotics and AI. We're going to
be looking at making T shirts in apparel in the
United States of America soon. So because of all the
new technologies coming out robotics, AI, and because of President
(29:19):
Trump's leadership with tariffs, we're really in a situation where
if we're smart in America, everything's going to be made
in America again very quickly, and there's going to be
no tariffs on itm items that are made in America,
while at the same time the American people are enjoying
the benefits of collecting all this foreign revenue.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
That's great perspective there since you're actually in the industry.
Because President Trump has publicly said that part of his
goal is to bring work back to the United States,
being production back to the United States with these tariffs
and to discourage American companies from going abroad. And so
you're seeing that already happening. You're seeing it becoming more
beneficial to do business with other American companies.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Not just because of tariffs.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
There's also a major breakthroughs in technology robotics AI.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's going to be easy to make things locally again.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
When you bring down cost, which you can do very
easily now, it makes a lot of sense to nay
things locally. So this isn't going to just benefit the
United States of America. You're going to see a lot
more localized manufacturing throughout the world because manufacturers really do
want to be close to their customers. It's not pleasant,
it's not easy to source things from all over the world.
It's much better to make things locally, so the tech revolution,
whether it's robotics, AI and everything else, You're going to
(30:25):
see a lot more localized manufacturing, which means a lot
of manufacturing coming back to the United States of America.
But are also other countries are going to be in
a situation to do their manufacturing locally too.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So the tariffs are great, We're going to get a
lot of revenue coming in.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
We're already saw twenty seven billion, a massive record, and
that numbers is probably going to continue growing. But also
at the same time, where we can really move a
lot of things back home back locally, and when things
are made locally, there are no tariffs.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And it seems to me that it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
The United States is probably the biggest consumer country in
the world. We consume probably more than any other country,
I would think, so what makes sense, as you said,
to bring your production in closer to this market.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Correct, It's always better to be close to your customers.
It's just easier to operate your business when you're close
to your customers. Believe or not, I service Europe, and
when I service Europe, I service my business my customers
in Europe out of Europe because I want to be
right next to him. When I'm servicing America, I want
to be next to America. I serve Canada, Mexico from
America as well, but you want to be as close
as you can to your customers. And the other reason
why the Terrists make a lot of sense is when
you're in a position where you have all the cards
(31:24):
to negotiate with, like the United States of America, you
should negotiate.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You should use your leverage.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
And we have tremendous leverage where the world's strongest economy,
where the world's fastest innovator, and we should use all
that leverage to negotiate and do things that make sense
for the American people. Instead of taxing the American people
like crazy, we should be looking at ways like what
President Trump did, very creative bringing in all this foreign
revenue through tariffs twenty seven billion last month. That number
are going to keep growing. We've never seen anything like
(31:49):
that before. And he's finding other creative ways to bring
in revenue to the United States to help the American people,
like the Golden Visa, which is going to bring in
incredible revenue too while helping our immigration situation.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I would imagine that you've already started projecting revenue for
the latter quarters of this year and into next year
based on these tariffs.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Are your numbers looking up?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Are you optimistic or are you still cautiously optimistic about
what's going to happen with your bottom line.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
I think you're going to see amazing advancements in the
economy because of all the technological advancement we're experiencing.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Tariffs don't really affect me.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
They don't affect my business because I make almost everything locally.
I only have one thing I source foreign, and we're
going to be making out locally very soon too, so
tariffs don't affect me. I think the thing my thing's
most excited about is the tech revolution. It's been ongoing
for a while, but you're going to see a lot
of gains in the economy because of all the things
happening in the tech spectors.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Particularly particularly with AI. I'm actually a late.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Adoption in the tech world, so I just started using
AI recently, and you're going to see incredible things happening
there to help help our economy and help us do more.
In the United States of America, the only reason you
go foreign is to get the labor savings. But when
you can do more in the United States and be
more productive in the United States, which we can do now,
and we're going to be able to do more effectively
very soon.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Tech it makes sense to doive things locally.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Before I let you go, I'm sure that you've been
having conversations with fellow business members. Is everyone really excited
and optimistic about what's to come? Or do you find
that people are a bit more cautious and ready to
feel their way through these changes, because change for some
people can be uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Let's just be honest about it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, I talk to my team more than anything. I
can tell you. My team is very excited future.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
We see a bright future for our business, and I think,
but I think other people they should see a bright
future too. You know, they call it the Golden the
Golden Age. We really are entering the Golden Age. If
you're smart, these things aren't silver bullets. You still got
to use your own intellect in your own brain to
deploy the latest technologies. But if you're smart and you've
got a great team, you're gonna be able to use
all these latest tools to accelerate your business even faster
(33:43):
and off or higher. Weges to your people. So all
these tools are going to help raise productivity. And the
key to increasing wage growth is productivity gains. If you
do more with less, you can pay to do more.
So we're in a great situation in America. I think
what President Trump did is smart with tariffs, and he's
what he's doing and smart with other things too, to
bring more revenue in the United States without taxing our citizens.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Anthony Constantino, we appreciate your time, continued success.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
For my friend.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Thank you. All right, folks, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
When we come back America's Voice Live, we'll continue with
the I will continue after this brief commercial break.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Yeah, was riddled with inflammation. I couldn't sit for more
than five minutes because the pain would just be so severe.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I heard you're talking about pain and inflammation a couple.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Of months ago, and I said, that's what we're going
to do. It is gone by my fatigue gone.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Brain fog gone, ibs gone, the redness and swelling in
my face gone.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
There has been a huge improvement in my asthma.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
I have not had one migraine since starting this program.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
My sleep is amazing.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
I didn't know you could feel that good sleeping.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
What you just saw was a testimonial from someone who
recently participated in Energized Health.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Five five five Challenge.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
The program introduces you to healthy habits and routines to
help improve your overall way of life. The founder of
Energized Health, John Jubilie here right now with how you
can take the first step.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
John, always good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
And I use that word taking the first step purposely
because you always say, you know, a journey starts with
one step, and that really is critical for people just
to take the first step.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Well, and Terrence is the first right step. It is
the first right step. A lot of us have taken
a lot of steps, you know, like myself, Terrence, I
took a lot of wrong steps for more than ten years. Terrence,
I was doing the wrong things. Bone on bone and
both my knees. Anybody feel me out there with a
little bit of joint pain or a lot of joint pain,
(35:49):
high blood pressure, hypertension. I have a you know, a
ten inch belly. I look like I was about seven
or eight months pregnant. All these health issues, Terrence, I
tried everything. How many of you guys all tried some
diet or exercise program. I tried all that stuff, Terrence,
but I'm so happy to tell people that with our
patent pending science, you can have your best health. You
(36:12):
can make a change that will be a lasting and
a sustainable change. I did this twenty eight years ago, Guys.
I am thrilled to be In eight weeks, I'll be
sixty five years old, full blown senior citizen. Haven't had
a medical doctor visit for more than twenty eight years.
But more importantly, you can have this when you take
(36:34):
the first right step.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
We've talked a lot over the past six months or so,
and one of the things in terms of taking a
first step is dealing with inflammation. Yes, you can help
people with all sorts of lifestyle issues and lifestyle diseases,
but inflammation, you were telling me, is kind of at
the root of all of it.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Well, the Mayo Clinic did a clinical study, Terance, and
the Mayo Clinic said, virtually of all pain, all disease
in the human body, the root cause of it is
cellular inflammation. And through our breakthrough science of intracellular hydration,
it is medically proven to flush out toxins and inflammation
(37:20):
out of the cells and flush it out of the body.
And when you put that out, you are going to
the root cause. You are reversing the root cause of
the inflammation, of the disease, of the pain, and thereby
you're solving the issue. And I love to use this quote, Terrence.
I wish it was my quote, but it's not. It's
(37:41):
many of the doctors who became our clients at Energized Health,
and they said, Johns, you believe you, guys cracked the code.
You cracked the code. You went to the root cause
of what causes illness and disease and you reversed it.
And Terrence, I want to give a personal invitation to
people to just spend about an hour forty five minutes
(38:03):
to an hour day for five days. So it's not
five days, it's just forty five minutes to an hour
four or five days. You can watch it whenever you want, guys,
but come and join us. And guys, it's five dollars.
It's like having a cup of coffee with Chelsea and
I cost you five dollars for us to share what
(38:23):
it took us twenty eight years, twenty eight years helping
tens of thousands of people we'll walk you through some
science and at least lay the foundation. Obviously, we can't
give you twenty eight years of knowledge in five days,
but we can give you the foundation that could absolutely
transform your life.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
And so it starts with this five to five to
five challenge. You come for the five days, you get
the information, and then long term, about how long does
it typically take to reverse some of the things that
some of the problems that most of our lifestyles have
put us into. I, like anything else, it took you. Well,
in my case, it took me fifty one years to
get here, so I can't imagine that it's just going
to take me five days to get it to turn
(39:03):
it all around.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Well, that's a great question, Terrence. The cellular cycle of
a human body is eighty eight days. The sellular cycle
is eighty eight days. Our selves can completely transform during
an eighty eight day protocol. And at the end of
the five days, we'll share with you about that eighty
eight day protocol. But I would encourage you guys, just
take the first step. The first right step is just
(39:27):
go to my five to five to five challenge dot com.
Take five minutes, register, spend five dollars come and spend
that forty five minutes a day with us for five
days and look, by the way, cool side effect. We
guarantee you'll feel better, you'll have better energy, and all
by the way, you will lose five pounds of fat
is some five days.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
All right, there you go myfive five to five challenge
dot Com. You can go there and get hooked up
with all the information you possibly can need.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
John ju Willie always get to see you. Thanks so
much for being here with us. Thank you Terrence.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Of course again, that's my five to five to five
challenge dot Com.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It was right there at the bottom of your screen. Well, folks,
we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
When we come back, we'll have a story that reminds
us of just how wonderful America truly is. Plus we'll
have your answers to our America's Voice question of the day.
There it is our the Epstein Files, an important topic
for you.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Why or why not?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Can't wait to hear what you have to say on
this one. We are back with this story about what
makes America wonderful. We do this segment every day in
hope of putting a smile on your face. And today's
story comes to us from Butler, Pennsylvania. We're an assassination
(40:41):
attempt targeting President Trump one year ago yesterday happened. We,
of course all probably remember that day in Butler, Pennsylvania.
What started as a seemingly normal outing for the Republican
base quickly became an effort for survival as multiple shots
rang out there on that day. Lone gunman, Michael Thomas Crooks,
perched on top of a rooftop less than one hundred
(41:02):
and fifty yards from where then presidential candidate Donald Trump
was speaking. The gunman got close to fatally wounding President
Trump as one shot grazed and cut his ear. Another
unfortunately killed one person and wounded two others who were
in attendance. When the situation was assessed and recognized as
an attempt on President Trump's life, the Secret Service agents
(41:23):
on site quickly huddled around the podium and urged the
President to get down. As you can see happening here,
a security detail composed of snipers was able to spot
and eliminate the gunment, effectively preventing any further loss of life. Ultimately,
President Trump stood up and did this iconic fist pump
here followed by the words fight, fight, fight.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
It's hard to believe.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
The events in Butler, Pennsylvania happened a year ago yesterday. However,
President Trump's resilience embodies the American value of perseverance and fight.
It's also another example of what makes America wonderful. All right, folks,
let's get to our question of the day. Here it is,
Are the Epstein files an important topic for you?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Why or why not? All right, let's go.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Michael Folks writes, protecting children from these kind of folks
one thousand percent, So that's yes, it's important to him.
Lisa Lettier writes, Yet we were told they were horrible
for months, then proof, then poof excuse me, they don't exist.
Whoever is on the client list must be prosecuted, no
matter who they are. And John Barsanti Junior writes, not really.
(42:36):
The fact that it was announced that there was a
client list and then it was announced that there wasn't
a client.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
List is important.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Release the passenger list to Lolita Island, release the customer list,
he writes. And Don Rowley writes, yes, I want these
Sikohs held accountable for hurting children.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Don We appreciate your point of view.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Katie Conley adding in, it's not about justifiles themselves and
holding those criminals accountable, but also about accountability for the
administration that promised full transparency and then went back on it.
So yes, they are extremely important. He doesn't want this
lie to be his legacy. It's an interesting perspective and
won a lot of people share. And then there's Larry
(43:19):
Wilcox who chimes in, yes, very important because it involves
children as they're victims.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
We need justice for the victims.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
And Al Sharp not to be mistaken with Al Sharpton rights, Yes,
it is. They promise transparency. I expect transparency, and if
you talk to a lot of people around the really
around the country, that's exactly where they land. They say,
you know, they promise transparency and then they renegged on us,
and I expect the information so hopefully it will come
out at some point in time. And steam Brie writes
(43:50):
twenty percent of my vote for Trump, I want the
child rapists, molesters, and traffickers held accountable, no matter who
they are or how much chaos it would cause. I'm
not letting this go. Appreciate that perspective, Reva Rice, we
appreciate you chiming in as well, writing release the names
of the perpetrators, not the victims. Think this would clean
(44:11):
the swamp right up quickly? And Jimmy Coleburn writes, heck no,
I'm just paraphrasing here.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Heck no.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
People don't realize how long the Biden White House had
these before the current administration took office. We don't know
how much they have been adoctored to protect the guilty
or to hurt the innocent. And this is the last
one here. Rosemary Chrismian writes, nope, because I completely stand
behind President Trump and his people trust in him.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
To all of you who responded.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
We appreciate you chiming in interesting perspectives there.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Well.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
Thank you for being here with us for America's Voice Live.
I'm Terrence Bates. We'll see you back here same time tomorrow.
Take care, have a good rest of the day.
This is America's Voice Live.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
And Welcome to America's Voice Live.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
I'm Steve Gerber, the pulse of the people. We need
somebody that's going to hit a paper's.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Voice, the truth the mainstream won't touch.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
This guy is by definition of global.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And the Stories that matter.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Grabs on Ben Burkwom.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
The credit of Miss Hill Cartels Live breaking news right
now here in real America's four filter.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
These people are domestic terrorist and unapologetic.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, you're gonna take a stand for God and country.
Let's feel good. America's Voice Live. It starts now.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates filling in
for Steve Gruber. It is Monday, July fourteenth. Let's get
right into today's top stories. A recently released report from
the Government Accountability Office details the failures of the Secret
Service during last year's assassination attempt on then presidential candidate
Donald Trump. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin joins us to
(01:04):
discuss plus. The Lone Star State continues the search and
rescue efforts as another wave of rain and thunderstorms halted
efforts over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Ahead.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
The very latest on that ongoing effort and then later
we'll have the latest on President Trump's new tariffs, which
are set to take effect in just a few weeks.
What will the taxes on imports mean for your pocketbook
and more importantly, the overall economy. Those stories and so
much more right now on America's Voice Live.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
All right, let's get right to it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
President Trump has had a super busy day as he
welcomed NATO's Secretary General to the White House. The duo
discussed concerns about the Russia Ukraine War and NATO's role
in helping.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Ukraine defend itself.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
President Trump also used the meeting to announce plans to
slap Russia with severe secondary tariffs if Russian President Vladimir
Putin does not agree to a cease fire deal within
the next fifth the days.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
We hope that's going to have an impact on Vladimir Putin,
and we hope it's going to.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Have an impact on Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Also.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
We want to make sure that Ukraine does what they
have to do.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
All of a sudden they.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Have they may feel embolded and maybe they don't want.
You know, there's a very difficult situation. Ukraine wants, I think,
and they will stake omitted.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
That doesn't no doubt they want traditions have to they.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Have to continue to want to all of a sudden
they well, we'll make sure I feel confident that they
will do what has to be done.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Plus we have certain parameters that both sides know.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
President Trump has expressed expressed, excuse me, frustration with Russia
over its unwillingness to come to a deal. The President
also says deliveries of military aid to Ukraine are set
to resume, and NATO is taking a more active role
in that process and in the funding. Here with me
to discuss this, as the former Special assistant to President Trump,
Colonel Derek Harvey.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Colonel Harvey, good to see you, sir.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Great to be here, Terrence.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
So let's start here. Do you trust Vladimir Putin? And
this is I guess somewhat of a rhetorical question, but
it seems like President Trump has tried to blowmacy and
at every turn of Vladimir Putin privately may say one thing,
but publicly we're seeing something completely different.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Well, that's right, and you know the President has you know,
made serious offers and has seriously engaged mister Putin to
try to work a way forward that would accommodate, you know,
some Russian interests, but you know, protect Ukrainian and Western interests.
And unfortunately, we've now reached an inflection point where Putin
(03:48):
has not played ball with the West, and President Trump
and the administration have decided that they need to shift
gears to you know, this new deal here, which is
working through NAY to sell weapons, ammunitions and other material
to NATO countries who then will transfer those items to Ukraine.
(04:10):
What the funding mechanism will be, whether the Europeans pay
for it themselves or they charge Ukraine eventually, that's an
important element. But Pewtin has been steadfast and just playing
the long game. And I think we could talk about
what his goals are in a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
If you want, let's do.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Okay, you open the door, so let's do go there.
What do you see his goals as being, because the
reality is ending the war and ending bloodshed doesn't seem
to be one of them.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
It doesn't. What he wants is he wants to maintain
ownership of the territories of Ukraine that he has occupied,
not just in this latest offensive a few years ago
at the start of the Biden administration, but also hold
on to territories he acquired earlier during the Obama years,
Crimea for example. So that's part one. Part two is
(05:01):
he definitely wants to have a friendly proxy regime in
Kiev that will be subject to the influence and interests
of Moscow, and that is something that you know, the
Ukrainian people are fighting against, and not just Zelenski but
the Western allies you know, are fighting for the independence
(05:23):
of Ukraine. And so that there's not a proxy or
a puppet there that will just be a staging platform
for further Russian influence.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
All right, So let's take your premise there. If there
is a regime in Ukraine in Kiev that is supportive,
say of Russia, of Putin, then is that really a
staging point to try to move beyond Ukraine to potentially
attack a Poland, which of course will be attacking NATO.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Well that's the big question, and you know there are
various viewpoints on that by different European intelligence agencies as
well as our own intelligence services. So I don't think
we absolutely are certain what's in the mind of Putin
or those around him in that regard, but there are
a tremendous amount of indicators and suggestions that going to
(06:17):
you know, what Putin really wants is to expand the
sphere of influence and degrade the ability of NATO to
you know, have you know the alliance structure it has
in the Balkans, Okay, in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, you know,
and farther south to Romania. So that seems to be
as objective to roll back western influence along that whole
(06:41):
eastern part of NATO.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Which is the fact though then a challenge to NATO
and to the West.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
No, that is exactly right, and you know, the President
has been very clear that you know, this is not
our war. Ukraine is not our war. Americans are not
fighting there. It's not Trump's war, I think, is what
I heard today. But there are American interests there, and
you know, we do want to see the war end
in this area. The question is going to be when
(07:10):
Phutan is dug in. And you know, this increase of
defensive capability and more logistical support for Ukraine will be
helpful in continuing the war, but it will not fundamentally
change the dynamics of the war in my view. Secondary
thank second issue, secondary sanctions fifty days it'll probably take
(07:31):
about fifty days to figure out how one would actually
implement and execute those But even that's a very difficult
thing for the West and the United States to actually
execute effectively to have the significant impact that would be
needed to change the direction of Moscow.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Colonel Harvey, I realized that war is not simplistic. But
I'm a simplistic person. This reminds me of a schoolyard brawl,
and there's the bully who's attacking everyone. Vladi putin in
Russia would be that bully. And sometimes the best way
to deal with the bully you can't offer your lunch
money or say hey, I'll give you fifteen bucks if
you leave me alone. You just got to punch them
in the face. And simplistically, I don't realize it's simplistic,
(08:12):
but it seems to me that we're almost coming to
that juncture where something, something beyond tariffs and something you know, disciplinary,
has got to happen. There's got to be some real
guts to something, and my own base there is that
too simplistic.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Well, the pain has to get to sech a point
that you know, Moscow has to reconsider its course of action.
That it's been following so far, and you know, I'm
not sure that we're there yet, although the war is
you know, raged on for you know, a number of
years now at great cost, human suffering, economic costs, et cetera.
But you know, this is similar to World War One.
(08:51):
It's almost trench warfare where the lines have been stagnant
for some time. The Ukrainians have been really creative using drones,
the deep str RKEs, you know, hitting you know, seven
different air bases, taking out strategic nuclear bombers and things.
But it's going to take more offensive capability and maneuver
warfare in order to be able to retake territory. And
(09:15):
they don't have that. They don't have the maneuver elements,
and they don't have those you know, tank battalions, brigades
and divisions that are necessary along with effective air support
and deep strike capabilities and sufficient numbers to allow them
to do that. So this is this is going to
ratchet it up, but I don't think we're going to
(09:35):
hit a pain threshold that changes Moscow's decision making.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And it seems to me that Moscow is also just
showing a lot of bravado that on the world stage.
It's almost as this is a face off between Putin
and President Trump in which privately, again there seems to
be one conversation, and then once President Trump makes an
announcement about okay, we've finally got in someplace, we're moving forward,
(10:00):
then Putin backs away or at least says something else,
and it leaves President Trump in alert to some degree.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
You're right, Terrence, And you know, the other thing is
to keep in mind that there are still options that
both sides have, and they're escalatory option. RCA still has
strategic and operational and tactical nuclear capabilities. They can you know,
strike elsewhere to create diversions or to refocus you know,
(10:29):
NATO's attention in a way that would be escalatory but
also be like brinksmanship and causing you know, people to
really step back and where we headed, What are we
going to do? Do we really want to risk you know,
further escalation that could get out of control, and so
we hope saying our heads, you know, stay in control
(10:50):
of this. But you know, there's a lot of risk here,
and that's been one of the fundamental concerns of you know,
people in the national strategy, security strategy arena for some
time that this could quickly get out of control and
bring us into a cataclysmic situation.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
When you say cataclysmic and we'll end on this, I'm
assuming your meaning and all out war that would involve
NATO and potentially the United States.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Well, surely there are options of tactical nuclear weapons being
used at you know, you know, Moscow is threatening that
at different points in time, and once you cross some
threshold like that, or you go after some capability or
go into Lithuania with a threat, things can quickly unravel
(11:36):
human nature. You can't control everything. There's so much the
fog of war takes place. Decisions are made at a
local level that can have ramifications strategically, and that's when
problems happen. And that's why we've had, you know, you know,
be really careful about providing offensive weapons, the discussions about
(11:58):
you know, limiting the striking offensive capabilities of your Craine,
because we didn't want to cross a threshold that could
escalate and get us into this quagmar.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Colonel Harvey, we appreciate your time, great perspective there. I
don't know if you're a praying man, but I definitely am,
and I hope it doesn't escalate to what you just
described there. That would be cataclysmic as you described. Thanks
so much for being here with us.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Thank you, Karence. God bless you.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I absolutely bless you as one my friends.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Coming up after the break, A recently released report from
the Government Accountability Office details the failures of the Secret
Service during last year's attempt on President Trump's life. Stick
around to hear from Senator Ron Johnson right after this break.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Back to America's Voice Live. I'm Terrence Bates. We appreciate
you being here with us.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
President Trump has had the last year to think about
the value of life. It was one year ago yesterday
when an assassin tried to take his life and then
the process shot off part of his ear during a
campaign rally.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
And it's remarkable to think that it was only one
year ago this week that my time on earth nearly ended.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
And if you look at that, God was with me.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Because that's some editor in theory. I should not be
with you for that.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
A recent report from the Government Accountability Office, specifically from
Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, cited numerous shortcomings by the
Secret Service. The probe also found there were communication failures
and a lack of specific and complete guidance for the
agents assigned to that rally. The Secret Service has suspended
six agents without pay for ten to forty two days.
(13:42):
Senator Round Johnson of Wisconsin joining me now to discuss
this and so much more. Senator Johnson, thanks so much
for taking out some time to be here with us.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Terre, I'm so happy to be with you.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So let's start here the suspensions for these six Secret
Service agents.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Does that go far enough in your estimation? Should there
be firings?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
First of all, it came about a year too late.
You know my staff, I'm chairman of the permise of
coming investigation, but even as ranking member my staff, investigators
immediately after the Butler assassination attempt reached out to local
law enforcement and gathered most of the information we've got
in terms of all the problems in terms of security
(14:21):
around that rally. We issued a report, a very detailed
timeline within a couple of weeks, joined the Byparis and
effort here came up with the preliminary report. Our problem
is is that passed the first couple of weeks when
local law enforcement to talk freely to us at to
that point everybody started climbing up. But we have not
gotten you know, for example, the interview notes from the
(14:43):
fbis hundreds of interviews with people. We've been granted interviews
with maybe a couple dozens seeking service personnel. The government
just has not been forthcoming to the American public in
terms of exactly what they know about that rally. So
here we are a year later and we don't know
a whole lot more than what my staff uncovered in
the first week or two.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Why do you think that is? Obviously the administration has changed.
It seems like this case would have been fast tracked
from all agencies, all law enforcement agencies. But from what
you're telling me, and I think from what most of
us who even are casually observing this investigation of seeing,
not much has come.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I think there's probably a couple of things I think
you can just tell. And I completely understand this President Trump.
Anybody who's ever been protected by the Secret Service, they
love their protectors, you know, they love those Secret Service agents.
They are people who men and women who are willing
to sacrifice their life to save their own. So there's
a reluctance to criticize the Secret Service agents, you know,
the other dynamic that's occurring here, and you're getting more
(15:41):
and more news reports about this of you know, lawyers
within the Just Department resigning because they're radical leftis themselves
probably and just can't tolerate their president Trump's empsis on folks,
on America and the rule of law. And so it's
very difficult though. And plus I think that Trump ministration
has also let some of the parties go. So there's
(16:01):
pregocized void inside the Department Justice, and it's hard to
recruit other attorneys to fill that void because of all
the lawfare. And we've got a prime example, Judge Troopas
in Wisconsin, a first class jurist lawyer represent the president
after the twenty twenty election, and because he a lawyer
(16:22):
represented the president the United States, the Attorney General of
Wisconsin is out to destroy him through lawfare. And it
doesn't take too many examples that the deep state, that
the radical leftists in government, they make these examps of
these individuals and other people say, I think I actually
want a career, I want to be able to take
care of my family. And so it has devastating impact
(16:43):
in terms of the Trump administration. Just being able to
staff the Department Justice with people who are loyal to
President Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's a real problem.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Another challenge that the administration is facing is being able
to pull money from agencies like USAID as well as
public brought casting. We're talking millions of dollars that President
Trump wants to pull from those agencies. It's my understanding
that you and your colleagues are going to probably be
soon debating a measure that would allow the President to
move forward with that.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Well, when you take a look at the fact that
in twenty nineteen, part of the pandemic, we spent a
total four point four trillion dollars. This year we'll spend
over seven trillion, it's a fifty eight percent increase. Our
population has grown less than three percent. It's completely unjustified,
and yet we're just having a devil of a time
trying to dial that spending back to a reasonable pre
pandemic level. Again, unfortunately, we got big spenders in our party,
(17:36):
so it's not easy to reduce spending, even though it's
the Democrats who buy in large maintained level at that
COVID level spending when they should have dialed it back
to a reasonable pre pandemic level. So again, it's completely irrational.
Drives me nuts. I've been trying to lay out these numbers.
I've been trying to show my colleagues, this is what
a reasonable pre pandemic level spending would look like, somewhere
(17:59):
between five points five and six point five trillion dollars,
going back to actual allays from Clinton, Obama and Trump
twenty nineteen, inflating them by population inflation, leaving soul skating medicare,
and he's just as is. Again, we should be spending
somewhere between five point five and six point five and
we're spending over seven trillion dollars.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
It's absurd.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
What is your expectation moving forward? Yes, the one big
beautiful bill has passed, but there are at least a
couple more bites at the apple, if you will, in
terms of the reconciliation process. What do you expect to
come out of that, if anything at all? What are
some of your concerns some of the things that you'd
like to see maybe kind of added or even taken
out of the current bill.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
In addition to proposing some reasonable pre pandemic spending options
prior to passing the one big, Beautiful Bill. I also
laid out a budget review process, line by line, program
by program to go through, basically an auditing process, so
unlike we've ever done, twenty five per cent of the
budget is discretion sory, so Congress at least debates and
(18:58):
votes on that to a certain extent, and seventy five
percent is mandatory. Now it's not just socialcating Medicare, but
even Medicaid. There's a trillion dollars of other mandatory spending.
We're spending close to over two hundred billion dollars more
than fully inflated twenty nineteen other mandatory spending.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
So again, there's plenty.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Of ways if you just use that simple control absolut
always from prior years, plused up for population inflation, take
a look at what we're actually spending and dialing it back.
And in business, this would be a five minute conversation
with my managers going, hey, guys, I told you can
increase your budget based on inflation, the number of customers
you served, where you're twenty three or forty, you're ninety
percent higher than that, dial it back.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I think that's what a lot of Americans are saying
to you and your colleagues and to everyone else there
on Capitol Hill, dial it back. I think that's our
word of the day before I let you go very quickly.
Just this morning, President Trump basically threatened Russia, saying if
Vadimir Putin doesn't reach a deal with Ukraine that he's going.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
To tariff them.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Your thoughts on all all of that, and where does
that situation stand? And even I guess from a broader perspective,
where does the US stand under President Trump? When in
NATO and on the world stage, how do you see this?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Well, like the Iatols in Iran, President Trump has given
Vladimir Putin every opportunity to achieve piece on a very
favorable term. Okay, Unfortunately Iahtolas and now Vladimir Putin's not
taking him up on the offer, which is very unfortunate.
And President Trump is all about economic deals. You could
have put something with rare earth minerals in the disputed
(20:32):
territories of Ukraine. You could have ended that conflict, end
of the bloodshed on both sides. But Vladimir Putin is
the aggressor.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Again.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I think he's an evil war criminal myself, and it's
very difficult to achieve peace when when people hate each
other this way, when you've seen death on both sides,
it's very difficult to again dial it back.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
If you were betting man, would you say peace in
the next six to eight months. Maybe those are arbitrary numbers,
but I figured we'll start somewhere.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I hope and pray for it again. President Trump was
pretty confident he could bring peace to that region in
twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Obviously that wasn't possible.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It wasn't from lack of trying.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
All right, Senator Johnson will have to leave the conversation there.
We appreciate your time. Thanks so much for.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Being here with us every day. All right, you as well.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Coming up after the break, the Lone Star State continues
its search and rescue efforts as another wave of rain
and thunderstorms halted efforts over the weekend. For due to
those flood mornings that remain in effect.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
We'll have more.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Welcome back everyone, Terrance Bates here. Over the weekend, a
new round of flash floods tour through central Texas. The
death toll from the flooding is now up to at
least one hundred and thirty two people.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Emergency crews are.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Back at recovery efforts following heavy rain and renewed flood
threats in Kerk County over the weeks.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Warnings are currently going.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Into effect as rivers in that area are expected to
swell to flood stage it again. Here with me now
is the CEO and President of Choral Ridge Ministries and
the founder of the Institute for Faith and Culture, Pastor
Rob Pascienza, pastor good to see.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You, Good to see you.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
So these sorts of natural disasters, one would think bring
people closer to God, bring people closer to faith. Are
you seeing that in this particular case or can you
put that into breader perspective for us if you will.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
I am for the most part, I'm seeing churches and
other charities in our region, in particular here in Fort Lauderdale,
rally together to support the needs.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
We've already been in touch.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
With local officials, church leaders in the regions that have
been affected by the flood. So we're definitely seeing in
the faith community people coming together. However, I would warn
I think the broader culture, the broader society, unfortunately, we're
seeing stories and new clips all over the place that
(23:02):
are using this opportunity to politicize the moment, and we
really need to steer clear of that. This is a
moment to look to God and his sovereign hand to
bring comfort and protection to people that are hurting, and
as a time for the nation to rally, particularly the
faith community, not a time to politicize this moment.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
In situations like this, my pastor often says, it's not
enough to be Christian in these moments, but you really should.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Be more christ Like, to act more christ Like. Can
you take that a little bit further? How do you
interpret that?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
I see you smile a little bit, so I suspect
you might agree with that assessment a little bit.
Speaker 7 (23:40):
Absolutely. I love how your pastor puts it. I like
to put it Christian in name only. We really see
who is Christian to name only when these opportunities arise,
and to really see who steps forward, who steps forward
by faith, And this is an opportunity, absolutely to be
christ Like. Christianity has always been at its best when
(24:00):
it's run towards the darkness, when it's brought hope and healing,
life and light into moments of tragedy like this. Over
the past two thousand years, Christianity has been the greatest
movement the world has ever seen. But it hasn't been
because they have retreated from darkness and tragedy, but they've
run towards it, bringing the message of Christ, not only
(24:23):
preaching it, but demonstrating it in love and acts of service.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Do you think that God sometimes puts these sorts of
challenges in front of communities, in front of us as
a nation, to bring us close together?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And I asked that question.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I guess more philosophically, but I realized that the church,
when we talk about the church, it's not the building,
it is the people. And what you just described is
that the church is mobilizing there in South Florida to help.
The people are coming together to mobilize to help. Do
you think that's is that part.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Of the plan?
Speaker 4 (24:55):
And I guess who am I to question God's plan?
But do you see some elevance there?
Speaker 7 (25:02):
We not only believe that God is sovereign on the
best days, but we believe that God is sovereign on
our worst days. We're not only we not only see
his sovereign hand working in moments of joy but also
moments of sorrow, but He's always called his people as
Jesus calls his disciples in Matthew chapter five to be
the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
(25:22):
He caused them to be a sitting on a hill,
so you're absolutely correct. He calls them to go into
the world teaching people to observe everything that he commanded,
but also to bring a message of reconciliation, a message
of healing, to be that alternative city, and to bring
shalom in the midst of chaos.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Amen, pastor Amen, you are out here preaching for us. Always.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Good to see you, my friend. Thank you so much
for your time. And I needed that word seriously. I
guess I was kind of trying to preach to myself,
but I needed to hear it from someone else.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Thanks so much for being here with us.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
Thank you all right, Well, folks, Since President Trump was
sworn into office, his administration has made enormous progress at
a breakneck pace.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But don't forget.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
While they're moving mountains for the good of the nation,
they also can't take your personal savings into account. That's
where you have to step up and do it. And
one of the best ways to look after your savings
is through diversification, particularly with gold from the folks over at.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The Birch Gold Group.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
In the past twelve months, the value of gold is
increased by forty percent. Central banks continue to bolster demand
for gold by buying in record quantities and global instability
intension is the highest it's been in decades, which makes
gold and owning the physical gold extremely easy. And it's
easily converted into an existing irray of four to one
(26:43):
k and you can do so one attack sheltered irray
in physical gold, or you can buy some gold and
store it in your home safe. All you have to
do is text the word America to the number ninety
eight ninety eight ninety eight and the Birch Gold Group
will send you a free information kit on gold.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And there's there's no.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Obligation here, only useful information with an A plus rating
with the Better Business Bureau and tens of thousands of
satisfied customers. Take control of your savings today by texting
the word America to the number.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, coming up after the break, we'll have the latest
on President Trump's August first tariff day is what will
the taxes on imports mean for your pocketbook and the
overall economy.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
New York City.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Yes, it is good morning to your good afternoon everyone.
President Trump threatening Russia with tariffs if Moscow doesn't reach
on an agreement related to its ongoing war with Ukraine.
The deadline is going to be within fifty days now.
Other countries are facing in August first deadline to feel
the pinch of tariffs as well. Revised tariffs are set
(27:54):
to take effect for US trade partners, including Mexico and
the European Union. Both reportedly face at thirty two percent
duty on goods sent to the United States. Furthermore, President
Trump says that if Mexico or the EU were to
raise rates on US goods, the United States will charge
an even higher reciprocal tariff. So here to talk with
us about this is the CEO of Sticker Mule, Anthony Costantino.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Anthony, good to see you.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, great to be here and happy to be talking
about this.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
So I'm going to play off of Sticker Mule the
title of your company, because I would imagine Americans can
expect to face some sticker shock the moment these tariffs
go into effect.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, you know, not necessarily.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
The great thing I saw about it was just last month,
we had record twenty seven million in import revenue right
tariff revenue for the first time twenty seven billion, sorry billion,
which annualized is over three hundred billion, and that number
can continue growing. We're taxing Americans like crazy, but now
we're bringing revenue in from other places to something that's
never been done before, and I think it can really
help the American economy a lot of the things that
(28:55):
are being terriffe or not.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I'm in the manufacturing space.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
We're also in a great situation not necessarily have to
make things overseas anymore. I'm making all my products for
the most part in the United States. We're currently outsourcing
something called a T shirt because it's hard to do
it here. But we have a big breakthrough at Sticker
Mule thanks to advanced robotics and AI. We're going to
be looking at making T shirts in apparel in the
United States of America soon. So because of all the
new technologies coming out robotics, AI, and because of President
(29:19):
Trump's leadership with tariffs, we're really in a situation where
if we're smart in America, everything's going to be made
in America again very quickly, and there's going to be
no tariffs on itm items that are made in America,
while at the same time the American people are enjoying
the benefits of collecting all this foreign revenue.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
That's great perspective there since you're actually in the industry.
Because President Trump has publicly said that part of his
goal is to bring work back to the United States,
being production back to the United States with these tariffs
and to discourage American companies from going abroad. And so
you're seeing that already happening. You're seeing it becoming more
beneficial to do business with other American companies.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Not just because of tariffs.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
There's also a major breakthroughs in technology robotics AI.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It's going to be easy to make things locally again.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
When you bring down cost, which you can do very
easily now, it makes a lot of sense to nay
things locally. So this isn't going to just benefit the
United States of America. You're going to see a lot
more localized manufacturing throughout the world because manufacturers really do
want to be close to their customers. It's not pleasant,
it's not easy to source things from all over the world.
It's much better to make things locally, so the tech revolution,
whether it's robotics, AI and everything else, You're going to
(30:25):
see a lot more localized manufacturing, which means a lot
of manufacturing coming back to the United States of America.
But are also other countries are going to be in
a situation to do their manufacturing locally too.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
So the tariffs are great, We're going to get a
lot of revenue coming in.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
We're already saw twenty seven billion, a massive record, and
that numbers is probably going to continue growing. But also
at the same time, where we can really move a
lot of things back home back locally, and when things
are made locally, there are no tariffs.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And it seems to me that it makes sense.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
The United States is probably the biggest consumer country in
the world. We consume probably more than any other country,
I would think, so what makes sense, as you said,
to bring your production in closer to this market.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Correct, It's always better to be close to your customers.
It's just easier to operate your business when you're close
to your customers. Believe or not, I service Europe, and
when I service Europe, I service my business my customers
in Europe out of Europe because I want to be
right next to him. When I'm servicing America, I want
to be next to America. I serve Canada, Mexico from
America as well, but you want to be as close
as you can to your customers. And the other reason
why the Terrists make a lot of sense is when
you're in a position where you have all the cards
(31:24):
to negotiate with, like the United States of America, you
should negotiate.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
You should use your leverage.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
And we have tremendous leverage where the world's strongest economy,
where the world's fastest innovator, and we should use all
that leverage to negotiate and do things that make sense
for the American people. Instead of taxing the American people
like crazy, we should be looking at ways like what
President Trump did, very creative bringing in all this foreign
revenue through tariffs twenty seven billion last month. That number
are going to keep growing. We've never seen anything like
(31:49):
that before. And he's finding other creative ways to bring
in revenue to the United States to help the American people,
like the Golden Visa, which is going to bring in
incredible revenue too while helping our immigration situation.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
I would imagine that you've already started projecting revenue for
the latter quarters of this year and into next year
based on these tariffs.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Are your numbers looking up?
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Are you optimistic or are you still cautiously optimistic about
what's going to happen with your bottom line.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
I think you're going to see amazing advancements in the
economy because of all the technological advancement we're experiencing.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Tariffs don't really affect me.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
They don't affect my business because I make almost everything locally.
I only have one thing I source foreign, and we're
going to be making out locally very soon too, so
tariffs don't affect me. I think the thing my thing's
most excited about is the tech revolution. It's been ongoing
for a while, but you're going to see a lot
of gains in the economy because of all the things
happening in the tech spectors.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Particularly particularly with AI. I'm actually a late.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Adoption in the tech world, so I just started using
AI recently, and you're going to see incredible things happening
there to help help our economy and help us do more.
In the United States of America, the only reason you
go foreign is to get the labor savings. But when
you can do more in the United States and be
more productive in the United States, which we can do now,
and we're going to be able to do more effectively
very soon.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Tech it makes sense to doive things locally.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
Before I let you go, I'm sure that you've been
having conversations with fellow business members. Is everyone really excited
and optimistic about what's to come? Or do you find
that people are a bit more cautious and ready to
feel their way through these changes, because change for some
people can be uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Let's just be honest about it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Well, I talk to my team more than anything. I
can tell you. My team is very excited future.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
We see a bright future for our business, and I think,
but I think other people they should see a bright
future too. You know, they call it the Golden the
Golden Age. We really are entering the Golden Age. If
you're smart, these things aren't silver bullets. You still got
to use your own intellect in your own brain to
deploy the latest technologies. But if you're smart and you've
got a great team, you're gonna be able to use
all these latest tools to accelerate your business even faster
(33:43):
and off or higher. Weges to your people. So all
these tools are going to help raise productivity. And the
key to increasing wage growth is productivity gains. If you
do more with less, you can pay to do more.
So we're in a great situation in America. I think
what President Trump did is smart with tariffs, and he's
what he's doing and smart with other things too, to
bring more revenue in the United States without taxing our citizens.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Anthony Constantino, we appreciate your time, continued success.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
For my friend.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Thank you. All right, folks, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
When we come back America's Voice Live, we'll continue with
the I will continue after this brief commercial break.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
Yeah, was riddled with inflammation. I couldn't sit for more
than five minutes because the pain would just be so severe.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
I heard you're talking about pain and inflammation a couple.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Of months ago, and I said, that's what we're going
to do. It is gone by my fatigue gone.
Speaker 5 (34:36):
Brain fog gone, ibs gone, the redness and swelling in
my face gone.
Speaker 6 (34:43):
There has been a huge improvement in my asthma.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
I have not had one migraine since starting this program.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
My sleep is amazing.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
I didn't know you could feel that good sleeping.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
What you just saw was a testimonial from someone who
recently participated in Energized Health.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Five five five Challenge.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
The program introduces you to healthy habits and routines to
help improve your overall way of life. The founder of
Energized Health, John Jubilie here right now with how you
can take the first step.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
John, always good to talk to you.
Speaker 4 (35:17):
And I use that word taking the first step purposely
because you always say, you know, a journey starts with
one step, and that really is critical for people just
to take the first step.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
Well, and Terrence is the first right step. It is
the first right step. A lot of us have taken
a lot of steps, you know, like myself, Terrence, I
took a lot of wrong steps for more than ten years. Terrence,
I was doing the wrong things. Bone on bone and
both my knees. Anybody feel me out there with a
little bit of joint pain or a lot of joint pain,
(35:49):
high blood pressure, hypertension. I have a you know, a
ten inch belly. I look like I was about seven
or eight months pregnant. All these health issues, Terrence, I
tried everything. How many of you guys all tried some
diet or exercise program. I tried all that stuff, Terrence,
but I'm so happy to tell people that with our
patent pending science, you can have your best health. You
(36:12):
can make a change that will be a lasting and
a sustainable change. I did this twenty eight years ago, Guys.
I am thrilled to be In eight weeks, I'll be
sixty five years old, full blown senior citizen. Haven't had
a medical doctor visit for more than twenty eight years.
But more importantly, you can have this when you take
(36:34):
the first right step.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
We've talked a lot over the past six months or so,
and one of the things in terms of taking a
first step is dealing with inflammation. Yes, you can help
people with all sorts of lifestyle issues and lifestyle diseases,
but inflammation, you were telling me, is kind of at
the root of all of it.
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Well, the Mayo Clinic did a clinical study, Terance, and
the Mayo Clinic said, virtually of all pain, all disease
in the human body, the root cause of it is
cellular inflammation. And through our breakthrough science of intracellular hydration,
it is medically proven to flush out toxins and inflammation
(37:20):
out of the cells and flush it out of the body.
And when you put that out, you are going to
the root cause. You are reversing the root cause of
the inflammation, of the disease, of the pain, and thereby
you're solving the issue. And I love to use this quote, Terrence.
I wish it was my quote, but it's not. It's
(37:41):
many of the doctors who became our clients at Energized Health,
and they said, Johns, you believe you, guys cracked the code.
You cracked the code. You went to the root cause
of what causes illness and disease and you reversed it.
And Terrence, I want to give a personal invitation to
people to just spend about an hour forty five minutes
(38:03):
to an hour day for five days. So it's not
five days, it's just forty five minutes to an hour
four or five days. You can watch it whenever you want, guys,
but come and join us. And guys, it's five dollars.
It's like having a cup of coffee with Chelsea and
I cost you five dollars for us to share what
(38:23):
it took us twenty eight years, twenty eight years helping
tens of thousands of people we'll walk you through some
science and at least lay the foundation. Obviously, we can't
give you twenty eight years of knowledge in five days,
but we can give you the foundation that could absolutely
transform your life.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
And so it starts with this five to five to
five challenge. You come for the five days, you get
the information, and then long term, about how long does
it typically take to reverse some of the things that
some of the problems that most of our lifestyles have
put us into. I, like anything else, it took you. Well,
in my case, it took me fifty one years to
get here, so I can't imagine that it's just going
to take me five days to get it to turn
(39:03):
it all around.
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Well, that's a great question, Terrence. The cellular cycle of
a human body is eighty eight days. The sellular cycle
is eighty eight days. Our selves can completely transform during
an eighty eight day protocol. And at the end of
the five days, we'll share with you about that eighty
eight day protocol. But I would encourage you guys, just
take the first step. The first right step is just
(39:27):
go to my five to five to five challenge dot com.
Take five minutes, register, spend five dollars come and spend
that forty five minutes a day with us for five
days and look, by the way, cool side effect. We
guarantee you'll feel better, you'll have better energy, and all
by the way, you will lose five pounds of fat
is some five days.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
All right, there you go myfive five to five challenge
dot Com. You can go there and get hooked up
with all the information you possibly can need.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
John ju Willie always get to see you. Thanks so
much for being here with us. Thank you Terrence.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Of course again, that's my five to five to five
challenge dot Com.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
It was right there at the bottom of your screen. Well, folks,
we're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
When we come back, we'll have a story that reminds
us of just how wonderful America truly is. Plus we'll
have your answers to our America's Voice question of the day.
There it is our the Epstein Files, an important topic
for you.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Why or why not?
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Can't wait to hear what you have to say on
this one. We are back with this story about what
makes America wonderful. We do this segment every day in
hope of putting a smile on your face. And today's
story comes to us from Butler, Pennsylvania. We're an assassination
(40:41):
attempt targeting President Trump one year ago yesterday happened. We,
of course all probably remember that day in Butler, Pennsylvania.
What started as a seemingly normal outing for the Republican
base quickly became an effort for survival as multiple shots
rang out there on that day. Lone gunman, Michael Thomas Crooks,
perched on top of a rooftop less than one hundred
(41:02):
and fifty yards from where then presidential candidate Donald Trump
was speaking. The gunman got close to fatally wounding President
Trump as one shot grazed and cut his ear. Another
unfortunately killed one person and wounded two others who were
in attendance. When the situation was assessed and recognized as
an attempt on President Trump's life, the Secret Service agents
(41:23):
on site quickly huddled around the podium and urged the
President to get down. As you can see happening here,
a security detail composed of snipers was able to spot
and eliminate the gunment, effectively preventing any further loss of life. Ultimately,
President Trump stood up and did this iconic fist pump
here followed by the words fight, fight, fight.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
It's hard to believe.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
The events in Butler, Pennsylvania happened a year ago yesterday. However,
President Trump's resilience embodies the American value of perseverance and fight.
It's also another example of what makes America wonderful. All right, folks,
let's get to our question of the day. Here it is,
Are the Epstein files an important topic for you?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Why or why not? All right, let's go.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Michael Folks writes, protecting children from these kind of folks
one thousand percent, So that's yes, it's important to him.
Lisa Lettier writes, Yet we were told they were horrible
for months, then proof, then poof excuse me, they don't exist.
Whoever is on the client list must be prosecuted, no
matter who they are. And John Barsanti Junior writes, not really.
(42:36):
The fact that it was announced that there was a
client list and then it was announced that there wasn't
a client.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
List is important.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
Release the passenger list to Lolita Island, release the customer list,
he writes. And Don Rowley writes, yes, I want these
Sikohs held accountable for hurting children.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Don We appreciate your point of view.
Speaker 4 (42:57):
Katie Conley adding in, it's not about justifiles themselves and
holding those criminals accountable, but also about accountability for the
administration that promised full transparency and then went back on it.
So yes, they are extremely important. He doesn't want this
lie to be his legacy. It's an interesting perspective and
won a lot of people share. And then there's Larry
(43:19):
Wilcox who chimes in, yes, very important because it involves
children as they're victims.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
We need justice for the victims.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
And Al Sharp not to be mistaken with Al Sharpton rights, Yes,
it is. They promise transparency. I expect transparency, and if
you talk to a lot of people around the really
around the country, that's exactly where they land. They say,
you know, they promise transparency and then they renegged on us,
and I expect the information so hopefully it will come
out at some point in time. And steam Brie writes
(43:50):
twenty percent of my vote for Trump, I want the
child rapists, molesters, and traffickers held accountable, no matter who
they are or how much chaos it would cause. I'm
not letting this go. Appreciate that perspective, Reva Rice, we
appreciate you chiming in as well, writing release the names
of the perpetrators, not the victims. Think this would clean
(44:11):
the swamp right up quickly? And Jimmy Coleburn writes, heck no,
I'm just paraphrasing here.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Heck no.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
People don't realize how long the Biden White House had
these before the current administration took office. We don't know
how much they have been adoctored to protect the guilty
or to hurt the innocent. And this is the last
one here. Rosemary Chrismian writes, nope, because I completely stand
behind President Trump and his people trust in him.
Speaker 1 (44:41):
To all of you who responded.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
We appreciate you chiming in interesting perspectives there.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Well.
Speaker 4 (44:46):
Thank you for being here with us for America's Voice Live.
I'm Terrence Bates. We'll see you back here same time tomorrow.
Take care, have a good rest of the day.
