income tax returns for individuals, families, and businesses. We do
it all at Asset Growth Associates, including representing our clients
who may be having difficulty with the irs often being
able to negotiate a settlement, or occasionally even paying nothing
at all. On today's report, among our topics, we look
(01:53):
into how President Trump's tear threats cost both Canada and
Mexico to realize, guys, he wasn't making empty threats, and
both countries quickly agreed to help the USA in dealing
with border issues. In our second segment, we're going to
look into media reports designed to project deportations of illegals
(02:18):
as cruel and why the media continues to miss the point.
Today's Dirty Little Secret exposes how quickly Canada and Mexico
capitulated when President Trump threatened tariffs on their imports. Today's
solution segment once again reports on how putting funds into
(02:39):
a principal protection plan helps grow a neest steak and

hello everyone everywhere, Welcome to That's the bottom Line Radio Report.
It's Super Bowl weekend and even those who seldom watch
(03:45):
sports programs will likely look in on today's game between
the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.
Super Bowl Sunday has evolved into a quasi national holiday
over the decades, hasn't it. And while the contest brings
fans from all over the country to watch the event,
in our modern world full of potential terrorist attacked, authorities
(04:09):
will have a watchful eye on this climatic football game,
the big one of the year, and we hope all
of you listening in today's report will enjoy your Super
Bowl Sunday. Be careful, don't do anything crazy, and don't
drink too much. The world at large continues to function
as it always does, however, with rivalries between nations, and
(04:32):
we pray for this Sunday at least to have a
peaceful day or this whole weekend coming up all right. Meantime,
back to the real world, we continue to see other
developments in the world today. President Trump continues to put
his foot down with regard to foreign countries taking jobs
away from Americans. And while the dishonest news media plays
(04:56):
it up as Trump will force consumer prices to go
sky high, they have to admit Trump had a major
victory when he said he would put tariffs on goods
ship to the US from Canada, Mexico, and China. Now
both Canada and Mexico capitulated to mister Trump's to his
tariff threat by offering to place more security on their
(05:20):
respective borders and additionally promising to reinforce their own borders
with the US. It's another big win for President Trump,
so he's postponed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for
thirty days. Keep something in mind about what this is
all about. If Americans allow listen to me carefully, if
(05:44):
we Americans allow manufacturing jobs to be pulled away from
the United S stats and go to places like Canada
and Mexico, what's that going to do to the American economy.
Many manufacturing companies build plants in foreign countries because the
cost of labor is less expensive, but it takes jobs
(06:08):
and income away from American workers. It's no more complicated
than that. And President Trump wants more jobs for American workers,
and he wants more manufacturing jobs returned to the United States.
His plan will bring more opportunities for American workers to
find better paying jobs. Nonetheless, the media plays it up
(06:30):
as if boosting better manufacturing jobs for the United States
will make everything more expensive. But if workers' incomes are higher,
then it just might and boost their incomes then maybe
they can afford to buy those higher price items. I
don't know, it just it seems ridiculous. You got to
(06:51):
root for the home team once in a while, right
The object is Trump's object is to boost the lives
of American workers, nuts and jobs overseas and end up
with less quality and what we buy from countries overseas.
President Trump, unlike many politicians, doesn't want the American standard
of living to decline so that our lives are less affluent. Mexico,
(07:16):
for example, does little to stop the illegal immigration into
the United States, but after the terror threat, they're going
to put ten thousand Mexican soldiers on their border to
help stam any illegals still coming across the border. This
doesn't mean we have to settle for less so people
(07:36):
and less wealthy countries can have more. Because we Americans,
we're the ones well, we don't want to have to
settle for less. And what makes Americans better off is
our strong middle class. Listen to me, this is important.
Many other countries have no middle class. They just have
two classes. They got rich people and poor people. Shrinking
(07:59):
the American middle class isn't going to help people elsewhere
in the world. What it will do is make Americans
more poor if the middle class continues to shrink here.
And that's the reason we do better in this country
than many foreign countries do is because we have freedom
and opportunities here that are not available to many others
(08:21):
in foreign lands. And reducing our American standard of living
to bring up the standard of living in other countries
is certainly not the answer. Now, maybe if countries like
Mexico and Canada were better neighbors to the United States
and develop their own countries so as the better compete
(08:41):
with us for a higher standard of living, it would
be different, but instead they want to take advantage of
the United States in trade, and Trump says he will
not let that happen to we, the American people. So anyhow,
why should we do more poorly so other countries can
do better. Everybody's got to do better. And that's really
(09:05):
the way it works. We ought to be thankful that
President Trump has the courage to implement things for that
to occur. And that's what he's doing. He's sticking up
for the United States of America and for your jobs
and for your paychecks, ladies and gentlemen. And that's just
the way it is. And I think that's a good idea. Listen,
(09:27):
we've got a lot more to cover. We'll be back
just momentarily, so please stay tuned.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a die.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 6 (09:41):

Let's make them work for you. Are you thinking about
starting your Social Security benefits early? Before you decide, let's
talk about the big picture. Claiming benefits before your full
retirement age, whether it's sixty six, sixty seven, or somewhere
(10:49):
in between, can reduce your monthly income by up to
thirty percent. That could mean thousands of dollars less every year,
and once you start, there's no going back. Here's the
unintended consequence. That smaller check could limit your ability to
enjoy retirement, cover healthcare costs, or leave a legacy for
(11:14):
you and your loved ones. And if you live longer
than you expect, those reduced benefits might not be enough.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
We're just trying to turn a nippel into one dime.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We will now from them.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We will.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
People can't even the street.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
To report on klv IS. That tells they reported. Some
other items making news this week. For the sake of
peace in the Middle East, President Trump proposed that the
United States take over the Gaza Strip and for the
displaced Palestinians to be absorbed by neighboring Arab countries. Well,
(13:23):
the other Arab countries don't want them, okay, So what
are you going to do. But once the US took
over that strip of land there right on the Mediterranean,
Trump envisioned the US turning the war torn territory into
a modern settlement with housing and resort areas along the
Mediterranean Mediterranean Sea. Now whether or not that's ever gonna
(13:46):
bring peace to the Middle East is unknown, but it
remains to be seen. President Trump is always looking for something,
and the Democrat usually they'll find fault in anything he does.
He remember the name Daniel Penny, the US Marine who
intervened on a New York subway passenger train to prevent
(14:07):
a drug induced to passenger Jonathan Neely from harassing and
attempting to take money from subway passengers. Well, mister Penny
has been hired by a Silicon Valley investment firm to
learn the ropes of becoming an investment advisor at Silicon
(14:28):
Valley investment firm, Andresen Horowitz, a spokesman for the firm,
said Daniel acted with courage in a tough situation, and
rumor has it that President Trump played a part in
recommending mister Penny for the position there. So things are
looking up for the marine hero well as the roundup
(14:51):
illegals continues to be carried out in the federal dragnet
to deport illegals from the United States. The news media
is printing and broadcasting stories about how some of the
illegals being deported is breaking up families. They're creating a
SOB story it is unnecessary. Stories of wives being arrested
(15:15):
and deported, and workers arrested while on the job. As
this massive round up continues. The media doesn't print the
entire background, but they're printing and broadcasting these stories in
an attempt to promote sympathy for illegals that President Trump
has ordered to go back to where they came from.
(15:36):
So the roundup of illegals is going to continue, is
going to send them back to their own countries. In
some cases they're going to go on to Anamo Bay, Cuba.
You know, it doesn't seem sad, they're rather, let me
put it this way, it does seem sad when a
spouse of an American is rounded up by Ice for deportation.
(15:57):
But these people knew what they were doing when they
came here illegally to begin with. Right on television recently,
there was a video report showing a woman weeping at
the fence separating the US from Mexico because she arrived
shortly after Trump took office and closed the border. Had
she come a day earlier, she would have really entered
(16:19):
the United States illegally. The media does this, ladies and gentlemen,
to evoke pity and support for illegal immigration, because the
media is corrupt and supports left wing lawless this we
even found out this week they were some of the
media was actually getting paid to print stories by the
(16:41):
Biden administration, So you really can't trust them. And if
the media is corrupt, how can you trust them? Trust them?
When an American commits a crime and is sent to
jail and leaves his or her family behind, there's no
outcry from the news media. Most of the news media
(17:02):
is hopelessly corrupt and slants its stories to protect anti
American causes. They just can't root for the home team.
In more simple terms, the news media has no sympathy
for illegals who murder and rape Americans, but when someone
like Donald Trump or members of his family are unjustly
(17:22):
attacked or put on trial, they play it up and
side with the crooked prosecutors. Because Trump is a Republican
and as such is not entitled to fairness or objective reporting.
That's the way I see it, and truthfully, I'll never
figure out why the media itself is so one sided
(17:42):
and is plainly the mouthpiece for left wing pro communists
and socialist views, especially since the US Constitution protects freedom
of the press. Stop them think about it, right. There
are some newspapers, of course, the news organizations that report
and write write the news as it is, but unfortunately
(18:03):
they are few and few far between. Last November, when
Trump won a landslide victory, one would have thought the
media would moderate its reporting and start printing both sides
honestly and fairly. But they won't. They're just not going
to do that, And that's why it remains a mystery
to me. Why waste such a precise, precious freedom. Then
(18:24):
we get news reports that the Democrat Party actually pays
off a lot of reporters to slant the news in
their favor. Now, how are you going to trust the
reporter for doing Whenever they do that, he's betraying, you know,
his freedom to go ahead and accomplish many things. Maybe
(18:45):
they're just doing the bidding of the far left, because
the far left pays them under the table. Right, Maybe
the day will come when we can trust newspapers and
other news organizations once again, But in the meantime, we
have to take such reporting with grain of salt, as
they say. And most reporters and editors have graduated from
(19:06):
colleges and universities that are known to be pro left
wing institutions. So maybe most news organizations have been indoctrinated
from a young age and carry those beliefs with them. Now.
There's nothing wrong with always seeking truth and justice, but
twisting the truth aside withinjustice is never a good idea,
(19:28):
at least that's the way I see it. Life's too short,
and eventually we're all going to meet our maker at
our reckoning of how we conduct ourselves on this so
called sochurn from here to eternity. I know a lot
of people don't believe in God, and they laugh at
those who do, or are or are agnostic, which means
(19:49):
they're not sure. But why take a chance. The Bible
plainly states do not be deceived. God is not mocked,
for whatever a man sow's he will reap. We all
have free wills, ladies and gentlemen, and can't ignore good
and choose what is not good or just, But then
(20:10):
we must be willing to pay the consequences of those actions.
And you know that as well as I do. You know,
I mentioned a few moments ago about the media running
many stories about families are being broken up by ice
sweeping in and deporting illegals, which is sad, but they
chose to come here illegally, and that's what's happening, and
(20:35):
so you know, they had to pay the price for
their actions, and we all know that that's true. We'll
be back with more right after this.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
We're just trying to turn ankeel into a dime.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
That's the bottom line.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
Again, what is my risk number? Dot com?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime. That's
the bottom line.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Canada and Mexico for a long time now have not
been good neighbors. When they do not monitor their respective
borders with the United States right they allow the illegals
to just come across the borders. Both Mexico allows the illegals,
or they were doing that, but that's going to change
here now, and I'm gonna explain that in the minute.
(23:17):
But they were allowing illegals to freely pass through their
country and route to the United States, and Canada essentially
was doing the same thing. Yet both these countries they
never had a problem shipping their goods into the United
States to sell them to the Americans. They considered the
USA as a customer for their goods, but ignore enforcements
(23:41):
of their own borders, allowing illegals to slip into the
United States. That's what was going on. Well, there's a
new sheriff in town, so to speak, with regards to
President Trump, and he clearly will not allow our two
neighbors to continue taking advantage of US. Last week, when
he announced new tariffs on both Canadian and Mexican imports,
(24:05):
we saw how quick both countries capitulated with new promises
to help in securing borders. Mexico sending ten thousand troops
to their border with the United States to help stem
the flow of illegals slipping into the US. And Mexico,
or rather and Canada likewise is strengthening their borders with
(24:28):
the US to help stem the flow of illegals from
their country into the United States. All it took was
a tariff threat from President Trump, and we saw how
quickly they capitulated. Both Mexico and Canada need Americans to
buy their products, and they sow without any regard to
(24:48):
what effect it has on their American neighbors. Right so
much so, both countries have been very lax and allowing
illegals to slip into our country, go right through their
borders into the United States. They do this on the
supposition that Americans are so rich or selfish that they
(25:10):
can abuse us because we're too rich and not smart
enough to recognize we're being taken advantage of. As I speak,
we have Democrat politicians in the United States literally working
against the best interests of the American people. You know
that as well as I do. What uh, what is
(25:32):
being said is simply that when Trump is threatening new
tariffs on Canada and Mexico, he's already putting a new
tariff on China. Well, goods being imported here in the
US is Well, now they're they're gonna play fair with us.
(25:54):
In simple terms, mister Trump is looking out for we,
the American people, and he backs up what he says
to those nations attempting to take advantage of us, they
need us to buy their goods, but do so without
any appreciation of we Americans who purchased their products. In
(26:14):
simpler terms, the world at large takes advantage of the
US and have been doing so for decades, And unfortunately,
we've got politicians that encourage that probably get kicked backs too.
Now suddenly we have President Trump back in and he's
not going to no longer allow this to happen. Oh
(26:36):
but how the news media reacts right actually criticizing President
Trump when he made those threats on increasing tariffs on
Canada and Mexico. He you know, now, Trump, as I said,
temporarily delayed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico when they
promised to be better economic neighbors and help protect our
(27:00):
borders with their borders. With Trump running things, our neighbors
now realize they'll need to be more neighborly. And as
far as China goes Chinese Premier Jiji Ping, he continues
to be a threat to the United States, both economically
and politically. In the goal of communists red China. Their
(27:21):
goal is to displace the United States as the world's
number one power. Well, I'll tell you something, as long
as Trump's in charge, China will have a tough time
pulling that off. On the other hand, we have many
of our fellow Americans, specifically many Democrats in both the
House and Senate, working against President Trump because they have
(27:43):
no regard for we the people and for reasons unknown,
can never root for the Home team. Why because they
are soft on communism and socialism and work to eliminate
the American middle class. The real strength of America, ladies
and gentlemen, is our middle class. You destroy the middle class,
and we become a society of the haves and the
(28:05):
have nots. If we the people ever allow that to happen,
we will end up being like those poor souls living
and what is often referred to as third world countries.
Trust me, we do not ever want to allow this
to happen here. We're fortunate to have elected Trump as
our president because he's looking out for us. Freedom is
(28:27):
what brings opportunity to all of us. As one of
my uncles used to say, or how he phrased it
years ago, America is really the land of milk and
honey with limitless opportunities. And you know something, ladies and gentlemen,
we really do need to keep it that way. So
all these events that are occurring right now and all that,
(28:51):
you know, the Democrats getting out in front of the
US capital and complaining and carrying on, and they're they're
they're all that carerrying on is working against the working
against the best interests of the American people. They're gonna,
you know, try to they're threatening to try to impeach
Donald Trump again. They go through all that nonsense. I'll
(29:13):
tell you something, you know, a lot of that it
makes no sense. Why don't they just why don't they
just calmly process and work with what the people of
the United States want instead of always trying to disrupt
things and carry on and promote what is not not
good for the United States, not good for society. I'll
(29:37):
tell you, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of this is
going to come to a head sooner or later. And
we just have to be thankful that we got someone
like Donald Trump in the White House because when he
says something, it means what he says. Boy, did they
go crazy when he thought about maybe taking over the
uh that land which is destroyed there along the Red Sea,
(30:01):
you know that zone over there between Israel and the Hamas.
We live in interesting times, to say the least eight
pounds on just about everything, don't they. The whole object
of being an American is freedom. Significantly, it would be
the freedom for every individual to improve their lot in
life through personal initiative and using your God given talents
(30:24):
to pursue your goals without impediments from the government. In
order to accomplish this. To accomplish this, you have to
have the freedom to set money aside and accumulate it
and retain that money for your own future. Ladies and gentlemen,
that's what we help you do. Asset Growth Associates back

Gene Valerati of Ascent Growth Associates. If you've been watching
recent news, a few banks have had a run where
customers panic and withdraw all their money at once, causing
(32:22):
the banks to fail. If that isn't worrying enough. On
January first, twenty twenty three, the Federal Reserve set a
new low reserve trumpch for net transaction accounts to six
hundred and ninety one point seven million dollars, meaning that
banks with net transaction account balances up to this amount
(32:45):
are subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent.
You heard me right, zero reserve requirements. Forget fractional reserve banking,
how about zero ro reserve banking? Why would the federal

Speaker 7 (33:42):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime. That's
the bottom line.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to that's the
bottom line. You're weekly broadcast on KLVII. That tells it
like it is, and like we always do at this
segment of the program each week, is we want to
offer you a solution regarding your financial future. And listen
to me. For every problem, there is a solution, and
(34:09):
today's solution, as always, wants our listeners to know if
they want to avoid loss in their financial investments, there
are ways to do it. One way would be to
call us at Asset Growth Associates, where money can be
set aside to earn market link returns without exposure to
market link losses. What these accounts offer is essentially risk
(34:32):
free market returns, providing freedom from market losses. Isn't that
a good deal? These accounts do not lose value when
there's a market decline and a panic sell off. We
have too many of those. The contract remains fully solvent
during a downturn because the plan is designed to not
(34:53):
lose value in previous earnings when the market retreats. If
you don't lose anything. Sometimes, you know, if you're in
the stock market, you have a loss. It could take
years to get back to where it was to start with,
you know that. Not so with principal protection planning, especially
(35:14):
the plans issued through our work at Asset Growth Associates.
These accounts did not lose value during a decline and
they're contractually guaranteed not to do so. Then when the
market goes back up, these accounts resume earning money immediately.
So while investors directly in the market are playing catch
up and just trying to get by to where they were.
(35:37):
Principal protection investors are already adding more earnings and moving forward.
Isn't that what you want to do? Moving forward? Because
in principal protection they never lose anything to begin with.
At Asset Growth Associates, we have been helping our clients
grow their nest eggs without error having to worry about
(35:59):
losing value during a downturn. The market always comes back.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know that, but may not do
so on your timeline, especially if you're already retired and
finding out that you've you've run out of investment money
at an old age. That's pretty scary thought. Call us
(36:19):
an Asset Growth Associates where we can help you and
you can participate in plans which earn market link returns
without exposing your account to market linked downturns. Right then,

goes with plans that provide such safety. Here's our phone number.

places one eight sixty six seven to eight three six

(37:04):
offering these plans for decades now, as well as regular investments.
We offer such accounts because they offer long term security
and the plans of the plans available. If you go
directly into the market, you know there's risk as risks
that you could lose money, some more complicated complicated than that.

you to call us soon for an appointment where you

they bypass probate. What does that mean. It means that
(38:29):
when you pass away, you know beneficiaries in these accounts,
and the money goes straight to the beneficiaries. They never
have to the beneficiaries never have to worry about funds
being tied up in probate because these accounts are issued
by insurance companies that, unlike money in banks, every dollar
(38:50):
in these accounts is backed up, not just a portion
of them. Now that's very important. These plans can be
cashed out for their full value too. They can be
designed for lifetime income payments. They cannot be outlived, and
also passed on to your beneficiaries without ever being delayed.

income tax returns for individuals, families, and businesses. We do

who may be having difficulty with the irs often being
able to negotiate a settlement, or occasionally even paying nothing
at all. On today's report, among our topics, we look
(01:53):
into how President Trump's tear threats cost both Canada and
Mexico to realize, guys, he wasn't making empty threats, and
both countries quickly agreed to help the USA in dealing
with border issues. In our second segment, we're going to
look into media reports designed to project deportations of illegals
(02:18):
as cruel and why the media continues to miss the point.
Today's Dirty Little Secret exposes how quickly Canada and Mexico
capitulated when President Trump threatened tariffs on their imports. Today's
solution segment once again reports on how putting funds into

risk number is? You can find out by logging onto

hello everyone everywhere, Welcome to That's the bottom Line Radio Report.
It's Super Bowl weekend and even those who seldom watch
(03:45):
sports programs will likely look in on today's game between
the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans.
Super Bowl Sunday has evolved into a quasi national holiday
over the decades, hasn't it. And while the contest brings
fans from all over the country to watch the event,
in our modern world full of potential terrorist attacked, authorities
(04:09):
will have a watchful eye on this climatic football game,
the big one of the year, and we hope all
of you listening in today's report will enjoy your Super
Bowl Sunday. Be careful, don't do anything crazy, and don't
drink too much. The world at large continues to function
as it always does, however, with rivalries between nations, and
(04:32):
we pray for this Sunday at least to have a
peaceful day or this whole weekend coming up all right. Meantime,
back to the real world, we continue to see other
developments in the world today. President Trump continues to put
his foot down with regard to foreign countries taking jobs
away from Americans. And while the dishonest news media plays
(04:56):
it up as Trump will force consumer prices to go
sky high, they have to admit Trump had a major
victory when he said he would put tariffs on goods
ship to the US from Canada, Mexico, and China. Now
both Canada and Mexico capitulated to mister Trump's to his
tariff threat by offering to place more security on their
(05:20):
respective borders and additionally promising to reinforce their own borders
with the US. It's another big win for President Trump,
so he's postponed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for
thirty days. Keep something in mind about what this is
all about. If Americans allow listen to me carefully, if
(05:44):
we Americans allow manufacturing jobs to be pulled away from
the United S stats and go to places like Canada
and Mexico, what's that going to do to the American economy.
Many manufacturing companies build plants in foreign countries because the
cost of labor is less expensive, but it takes jobs
(06:08):
and income away from American workers. It's no more complicated
than that. And President Trump wants more jobs for American workers,
and he wants more manufacturing jobs returned to the United States.
His plan will bring more opportunities for American workers to
find better paying jobs. Nonetheless, the media plays it up
(06:30):
as if boosting better manufacturing jobs for the United States
will make everything more expensive. But if workers' incomes are higher,
then it just might and boost their incomes then maybe
they can afford to buy those higher price items. I
don't know, it just it seems ridiculous. You got to
(06:51):
root for the home team once in a while, right
The object is Trump's object is to boost the lives
of American workers, nuts and jobs overseas and end up
with less quality and what we buy from countries overseas.
President Trump, unlike many politicians, doesn't want the American standard
of living to decline so that our lives are less affluent. Mexico,
(07:16):
for example, does little to stop the illegal immigration into
the United States, but after the terror threat, they're going
to put ten thousand Mexican soldiers on their border to
help stam any illegals still coming across the border. This
doesn't mean we have to settle for less so people
(07:36):
and less wealthy countries can have more. Because we Americans,
we're the ones well, we don't want to have to
settle for less. And what makes Americans better off is
our strong middle class. Listen to me, this is important.
Many other countries have no middle class. They just have
two classes. They got rich people and poor people. Shrinking
(07:59):
the American middle class isn't going to help people elsewhere
in the world. What it will do is make Americans
more poor if the middle class continues to shrink here.
And that's the reason we do better in this country
than many foreign countries do is because we have freedom
and opportunities here that are not available to many others
(08:21):
in foreign lands. And reducing our American standard of living
to bring up the standard of living in other countries
is certainly not the answer. Now, maybe if countries like
Mexico and Canada were better neighbors to the United States
and develop their own countries so as the better compete
(08:41):
with us for a higher standard of living, it would
be different, but instead they want to take advantage of
the United States in trade, and Trump says he will
not let that happen to we, the American people. So anyhow,
why should we do more poorly so other countries can
do better. Everybody's got to do better. And that's really
(09:05):
the way it works. We ought to be thankful that
President Trump has the courage to implement things for that
to occur. And that's what he's doing. He's sticking up
for the United States of America and for your jobs
and for your paychecks, ladies and gentlemen. And that's just
the way it is. And I think that's a good idea. Listen,
(09:27):
we've got a lot more to cover. We'll be back
just momentarily, so please stay tuned.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a die.
That's the bottom line.

Let's make them work for you. Are you thinking about
starting your Social Security benefits early? Before you decide, let's
talk about the big picture. Claiming benefits before your full
retirement age, whether it's sixty six, sixty seven, or somewhere
(10:49):
in between, can reduce your monthly income by up to
thirty percent. That could mean thousands of dollars less every year,
and once you start, there's no going back. Here's the
unintended consequence. That smaller check could limit your ability to
enjoy retirement, cover healthcare costs, or leave a legacy for
(11:14):
you and your loved ones. And if you live longer
than you expect, those reduced benefits might not be enough.

We're just trying to turn a nippel into one dime.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
We will now from them.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We will.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
People can't even the street.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
To report on klv IS. That tells they reported. Some
other items making news this week. For the sake of
peace in the Middle East, President Trump proposed that the
United States take over the Gaza Strip and for the
displaced Palestinians to be absorbed by neighboring Arab countries. Well,
(13:23):
the other Arab countries don't want them, okay, So what
are you going to do. But once the US took
over that strip of land there right on the Mediterranean,
Trump envisioned the US turning the war torn territory into
a modern settlement with housing and resort areas along the
Mediterranean Mediterranean Sea. Now whether or not that's ever gonna
(13:46):
bring peace to the Middle East is unknown, but it
remains to be seen. President Trump is always looking for something,
and the Democrat usually they'll find fault in anything he does.
He remember the name Daniel Penny, the US Marine who
intervened on a New York subway passenger train to prevent
(14:07):
a drug induced to passenger Jonathan Neely from harassing and
attempting to take money from subway passengers. Well, mister Penny
has been hired by a Silicon Valley investment firm to
learn the ropes of becoming an investment advisor at Silicon
(14:28):
Valley investment firm, Andresen Horowitz, a spokesman for the firm,
said Daniel acted with courage in a tough situation, and
rumor has it that President Trump played a part in
recommending mister Penny for the position there. So things are
looking up for the marine hero well as the roundup
(14:51):
illegals continues to be carried out in the federal dragnet
to deport illegals from the United States. The news media
is printing and broadcasting stories about how some of the
illegals being deported is breaking up families. They're creating a
SOB story it is unnecessary. Stories of wives being arrested
(15:15):
and deported, and workers arrested while on the job. As
this massive round up continues. The media doesn't print the
entire background, but they're printing and broadcasting these stories in
an attempt to promote sympathy for illegals that President Trump
has ordered to go back to where they came from.
(15:36):
So the roundup of illegals is going to continue, is
going to send them back to their own countries. In
some cases they're going to go on to Anamo Bay, Cuba.
You know, it doesn't seem sad, they're rather, let me
put it this way, it does seem sad when a
spouse of an American is rounded up by Ice for deportation.
(15:57):
But these people knew what they were doing when they
came here illegally to begin with. Right on television recently,
there was a video report showing a woman weeping at
the fence separating the US from Mexico because she arrived
shortly after Trump took office and closed the border. Had
she come a day earlier, she would have really entered
(16:19):
the United States illegally. The media does this, ladies and gentlemen,
to evoke pity and support for illegal immigration, because the
media is corrupt and supports left wing lawless this we
even found out this week they were some of the
media was actually getting paid to print stories by the
(16:41):
Biden administration, So you really can't trust them. And if
the media is corrupt, how can you trust them? Trust them?
When an American commits a crime and is sent to
jail and leaves his or her family behind, there's no
outcry from the news media. Most of the news media
(17:02):
is hopelessly corrupt and slants its stories to protect anti
American causes. They just can't root for the home team.
In more simple terms, the news media has no sympathy
for illegals who murder and rape Americans, but when someone
like Donald Trump or members of his family are unjustly
(17:22):
attacked or put on trial, they play it up and
side with the crooked prosecutors. Because Trump is a Republican
and as such is not entitled to fairness or objective reporting.
That's the way I see it, and truthfully, I'll never
figure out why the media itself is so one sided
(17:42):
and is plainly the mouthpiece for left wing pro communists
and socialist views, especially since the US Constitution protects freedom
of the press. Stop them think about it, right. There
are some newspapers, of course, the news organizations that report
and write write the news as it is, but unfortunately
(18:03):
they are few and few far between. Last November, when
Trump won a landslide victory, one would have thought the
media would moderate its reporting and start printing both sides
honestly and fairly. But they won't. They're just not going
to do that, And that's why it remains a mystery
to me. Why waste such a precise, precious freedom. Then
(18:24):
we get news reports that the Democrat Party actually pays
off a lot of reporters to slant the news in
their favor. Now, how are you going to trust the
reporter for doing Whenever they do that, he's betraying, you know,
his freedom to go ahead and accomplish many things. Maybe
(18:45):
they're just doing the bidding of the far left, because
the far left pays them under the table. Right, Maybe
the day will come when we can trust newspapers and
other news organizations once again, But in the meantime, we
have to take such reporting with grain of salt, as
they say. And most reporters and editors have graduated from
(19:06):
colleges and universities that are known to be pro left
wing institutions. So maybe most news organizations have been indoctrinated
from a young age and carry those beliefs with them. Now.
There's nothing wrong with always seeking truth and justice, but
twisting the truth aside withinjustice is never a good idea,
(19:28):
at least that's the way I see it. Life's too short,
and eventually we're all going to meet our maker at
our reckoning of how we conduct ourselves on this so
called sochurn from here to eternity. I know a lot
of people don't believe in God, and they laugh at
those who do, or are or are agnostic, which means
(19:49):
they're not sure. But why take a chance. The Bible
plainly states do not be deceived. God is not mocked,
for whatever a man sow's he will reap. We all
have free wills, ladies and gentlemen, and can't ignore good
and choose what is not good or just, But then
(20:10):
we must be willing to pay the consequences of those actions.
And you know that as well as I do. You know,
I mentioned a few moments ago about the media running
many stories about families are being broken up by ice
sweeping in and deporting illegals, which is sad, but they
chose to come here illegally, and that's what's happening, and
(20:35):
so you know, they had to pay the price for
their actions, and we all know that that's true. We'll
be back with more right after this.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
We're just trying to turn ankeel into a dime.

Again, what is my risk number? Dot com?
Speaker 7 (22:49):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime. That's
the bottom line.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
Canada and Mexico for a long time now have not
been good neighbors. When they do not monitor their respective
borders with the United States right they allow the illegals
to just come across the borders. Both Mexico allows the illegals,
or they were doing that, but that's going to change
here now, and I'm gonna explain that in the minute.
(23:17):
But they were allowing illegals to freely pass through their
country and route to the United States, and Canada essentially
was doing the same thing. Yet both these countries they
never had a problem shipping their goods into the United
States to sell them to the Americans. They considered the
USA as a customer for their goods, but ignore enforcements
(23:41):
of their own borders, allowing illegals to slip into the
United States. That's what was going on. Well, there's a
new sheriff in town, so to speak, with regards to
President Trump, and he clearly will not allow our two
neighbors to continue taking advantage of US. Last week, when
he announced new tariffs on both Canadian and Mexican imports,
(24:05):
we saw how quick both countries capitulated with new promises
to help in securing borders. Mexico sending ten thousand troops
to their border with the United States to help stem
the flow of illegals slipping into the US. And Mexico,
or rather and Canada likewise is strengthening their borders with
(24:28):
the US to help stem the flow of illegals from
their country into the United States. All it took was
a tariff threat from President Trump, and we saw how
quickly they capitulated. Both Mexico and Canada need Americans to
buy their products, and they sow without any regard to
(24:48):
what effect it has on their American neighbors. Right so
much so, both countries have been very lax and allowing
illegals to slip into our country, go right through their
borders into the United States. They do this on the
supposition that Americans are so rich or selfish that they
(25:10):
can abuse us because we're too rich and not smart
enough to recognize we're being taken advantage of. As I speak,
we have Democrat politicians in the United States literally working
against the best interests of the American people. You know
that as well as I do. What uh, what is
(25:32):
being said is simply that when Trump is threatening new
tariffs on Canada and Mexico, he's already putting a new
tariff on China. Well, goods being imported here in the
US is Well, now they're they're gonna play fair with us.
(25:54):
In simple terms, mister Trump is looking out for we,
the American people, and he backs up what he says
to those nations attempting to take advantage of us, they
need us to buy their goods, but do so without
any appreciation of we Americans who purchased their products. In
(26:14):
simpler terms, the world at large takes advantage of the
US and have been doing so for decades, And unfortunately,
we've got politicians that encourage that probably get kicked backs too.
Now suddenly we have President Trump back in and he's
not going to no longer allow this to happen. Oh
(26:36):
but how the news media reacts right actually criticizing President
Trump when he made those threats on increasing tariffs on
Canada and Mexico. He you know, now, Trump, as I said,
temporarily delayed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico when they
promised to be better economic neighbors and help protect our
(27:00):
borders with their borders. With Trump running things, our neighbors
now realize they'll need to be more neighborly. And as
far as China goes Chinese Premier Jiji Ping, he continues
to be a threat to the United States, both economically
and politically. In the goal of communists red China. Their
(27:21):
goal is to displace the United States as the world's
number one power. Well, I'll tell you something, as long
as Trump's in charge, China will have a tough time
pulling that off. On the other hand, we have many
of our fellow Americans, specifically many Democrats in both the
House and Senate, working against President Trump because they have
(27:43):
no regard for we the people and for reasons unknown,
can never root for the Home team. Why because they
are soft on communism and socialism and work to eliminate
the American middle class. The real strength of America, ladies
and gentlemen, is our middle class. You destroy the middle class,
and we become a society of the haves and the
(28:05):
have nots. If we the people ever allow that to happen,
we will end up being like those poor souls living
and what is often referred to as third world countries.
Trust me, we do not ever want to allow this
to happen here. We're fortunate to have elected Trump as
our president because he's looking out for us. Freedom is
(28:27):
what brings opportunity to all of us. As one of
my uncles used to say, or how he phrased it
years ago, America is really the land of milk and
honey with limitless opportunities. And you know something, ladies and gentlemen,
we really do need to keep it that way. So
all these events that are occurring right now and all that,
(28:51):
you know, the Democrats getting out in front of the
US capital and complaining and carrying on, and they're they're
they're all that carerrying on is working against the working
against the best interests of the American people. They're gonna,
you know, try to they're threatening to try to impeach
Donald Trump again. They go through all that nonsense. I'll
(29:13):
tell you something, you know, a lot of that it
makes no sense. Why don't they just why don't they
just calmly process and work with what the people of
the United States want instead of always trying to disrupt
things and carry on and promote what is not not
good for the United States, not good for society. I'll
(29:37):
tell you, ladies and gentlemen, a lot of this is
going to come to a head sooner or later. And
we just have to be thankful that we got someone
like Donald Trump in the White House because when he
says something, it means what he says. Boy, did they
go crazy when he thought about maybe taking over the
uh that land which is destroyed there along the Red Sea,
(30:01):
you know that zone over there between Israel and the Hamas.
We live in interesting times, to say the least eight
pounds on just about everything, don't they. The whole object
of being an American is freedom. Significantly, it would be
the freedom for every individual to improve their lot in
life through personal initiative and using your God given talents
(30:24):
to pursue your goals without impediments from the government. In
order to accomplish this. To accomplish this, you have to
have the freedom to set money aside and accumulate it
and retain that money for your own future. Ladies and gentlemen,
that's what we help you do. Asset Growth Associates back

Gene Valerati of Ascent Growth Associates. If you've been watching
recent news, a few banks have had a run where
customers panic and withdraw all their money at once, causing
(32:22):
the banks to fail. If that isn't worrying enough. On
January first, twenty twenty three, the Federal Reserve set a
new low reserve trumpch for net transaction accounts to six
hundred and ninety one point seven million dollars, meaning that
banks with net transaction account balances up to this amount
(32:45):
are subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent.
You heard me right, zero reserve requirements. Forget fractional reserve banking,
how about zero ro reserve banking? Why would the federal
Reserve create this environment of uncertainty? If this is of
(33:07):
concern to you, and it should be, we can show
you how to protect yourself and how to locate and
utilize financial institutions with very real reserves, not zero reserves.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime. That's
the bottom line.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to that's the
bottom line. You're weekly broadcast on KLVII. That tells it
like it is, and like we always do at this
segment of the program each week, is we want to
offer you a solution regarding your financial future. And listen
to me. For every problem, there is a solution, and
(34:09):
today's solution, as always, wants our listeners to know if
they want to avoid loss in their financial investments, there
are ways to do it. One way would be to
call us at Asset Growth Associates, where money can be
set aside to earn market link returns without exposure to
market link losses. What these accounts offer is essentially risk
(34:32):
free market returns, providing freedom from market losses. Isn't that
a good deal? These accounts do not lose value when
there's a market decline and a panic sell off. We
have too many of those. The contract remains fully solvent
during a downturn because the plan is designed to not
(34:53):
lose value in previous earnings when the market retreats. If
you don't lose anything. Sometimes, you know, if you're in
the stock market, you have a loss. It could take
years to get back to where it was to start with,
you know that. Not so with principal protection planning, especially
(35:14):
the plans issued through our work at Asset Growth Associates.
These accounts did not lose value during a decline and
they're contractually guaranteed not to do so. Then when the
market goes back up, these accounts resume earning money immediately.
So while investors directly in the market are playing catch
up and just trying to get by to where they were.
(35:37):
Principal protection investors are already adding more earnings and moving forward.
Isn't that what you want to do? Moving forward? Because
in principal protection they never lose anything to begin with.
At Asset Growth Associates, we have been helping our clients
grow their nest eggs without error having to worry about
(35:59):
losing value during a downturn. The market always comes back.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know that, but may not do
so on your timeline, especially if you're already retired and
finding out that you've you've run out of investment money
at an old age. That's pretty scary thought. Call us
(36:19):
an Asset Growth Associates where we can help you and
you can participate in plans which earn market link returns
without exposing your account to market linked downturns. Right then,
there's nothing wrong with that. You know that very well.
There's nothing wrong with not losing money, and the same
(36:43):
goes with plans that provide such safety. Here's our phone number.
I want you to call us, come in and check
it out for yourself. Four to oh nine eight four
h sixty nine hundred. If you live in far away
places one eight sixty six seven to eight three six
nine seven, that's the toll free line. Listen. We've been
(37:04):
offering these plans for decades now, as well as regular investments.
We offer such accounts because they offer long term security
and the plans of the plans available. If you go
directly into the market, you know there's risk as risks
that you could lose money, some more complicated complicated than that.
(37:26):
So if you want an investment program that keeps growing
and doesn't shrink when the market has a downturn, call
us an Asset Growth Associates four to oh nine eight
four sixty nine hundred. Our work is to provide safe
investments for those who become our clients and listen to me.
(37:47):
We're committed to continue doing so for the years ahead.
It's not worth the aggravation of gaining money and then
see it shrink away during a downturn brought about by
a panic on Wall Street. Where you can when you can,
rather have peace of mind. Wouldn't you rather have peace
of mind of knowing that your nest egg is fully
(38:08):
safe and available to you when others are seeing their
nest eggs decline due to a fickle stock market at times.
At Asset Growth Associates, we are client oriented. I want
you to call us soon for an appointment where you
can learn how these plans work. And by the way,
they bypass probate. What does that mean. It means that
(38:29):
when you pass away, you know beneficiaries in these accounts,
and the money goes straight to the beneficiaries. They never
have to the beneficiaries never have to worry about funds
being tied up in probate because these accounts are issued
by insurance companies that, unlike money in banks, every dollar
(38:50):
in these accounts is backed up, not just a portion
of them. Now that's very important. These plans can be
cashed out for their full value too. They can be
designed for lifetime income payments. They cannot be outlived, and
also passed on to your beneficiaries without ever being delayed.
(39:10):
As I said in probate, call us four O nine

Now let me mention something here before I bid you
ado for today. The measure of time passes quickly, and
(41:13):
the older we get, the more we recognize how fast
time really does fly. This is why it's very important
to plan for the future. And when it comes to money,
proper planning prevents poor performance. But what is proper planning?
For example, when setting funds aside for future use, you
(41:34):
want to make sure the funds are that are being
set aside, that they're there when the time comes to
dip into those funds. And one way to accomplish this
is to come in and visit with us at asset
growth Associates where plans are available that gather in the
gains but ignore the losses. You heard me right, They
