an investment advisor representative at Assex Growth Associates. We have

(01:36):

today than time to do it. Gene will be on
(01:57):
later to talk about your money. But first our top
blind story, Terrorism is on the rise.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
This is a Fox News alert. I'm griffgingins in New York.
A man is in police custody after he reportedly set
people on fire in Boulder, Colorado, leaving multiple people hurt.
That he is an Egyptian national who is in the
US illegally because of a visa overstay who came during
the Biden administration.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
An Egyptian man here illegally on an expired work visa,
used molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower in an outdoor
shopping mall while shouting Free Palestine. This comes right on
the heels of what we all woke up to two
weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
We begin this morning with a Fox News alert. Two
Israeli diplomats killed in Washington, d C. After a shooter
opens fire outside the Capitol Jewish Museum.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
A suspect is in.
Speaker 8 (02:57):
Custody as we learn about the postile motive behind this
horrific act.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
The motive that part's easy. The shooter made it crystal clear.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Agreelifide out.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Oh, I don't know, Gee, does anyone detect a trend here?
Anti Semitic attacks are on the rise, and it's coming
from leftists who want to influence American policy in relation
to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It's been going on for
decades in Israel, but now they decided to bring that
garbage here. Florida Congressman Randy Fine had this to say
(03:41):
following the Boulder terrorist attack.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
Well, I'm angry. Look, I'm not a congress sistic congressman.
I'm Jewish and I'm the father of two Jewish boys
who have to deal with this in this world. It
feels like open hunting season on Jews right now, and
we have got to do something to stop it. For
eighteen months, these terrorists have said globalize the Antifada by
(04:04):
any means necessary, and the left kept telling us they
don't mean it, they don't mean it, they don't mean it.
Here's what worries me the most. They doubled down after
every attack. After the two people were shot in Washington, DC,
they upped the rhetoric, and they will do it again
here if we do not begin to crack down on
this violent terrorist movement, because that is what.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
It is, open hunting season on Jews. That pretty much
sums it up. This is what the Biben administration let
fester on college campuses where students or as we're finding out,
more like paid instigators, what vandalize buildings and terrorized Jewish
students in places like Columbia University. Universities like Harvard have
(04:50):
been acting like they offer graduate studies and anti semitism,
and now the pot is bowling over into the rest
of society more likely, though, this sort of activity isn't organic.
It's being organized but by who. This exchange on the
panel of Fox and Friends shed some light. It's a
(05:10):
little long, but take a listen.
Speaker 10 (05:13):
So you look at the protests and college campuses and
they say the same thing that these protesters said, that
mutant that shot the two, the couple in DC that
shed free Palestine. Then you find out about the protesters
and you say, well, these old students at Columbia last
year and a few months ago, and the answer is no.
(05:33):
For example, the cover of the New York Post, you
could see it now. If not, I'll hold it up
as a twenty year old and this twenty year old
was on campus creating havoc, saying anti Semitic phrases, punching.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Jewish kids in the face.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
And he is directly contacted and supported by Hamas overseas.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He has the flag over him.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
He's been arrested, I assume going to be deported if
not jailed here. And he was part of the unrest
college age but not a collegead kid up.
Speaker 11 (06:02):
In the jew Hater contemplating setting a student on fire,
direct links to Hamas. He was chatting with this Hamas
group on social media, awaits trial and dieded on three
federal hate crimes against Jewish people and wore a green
headband worn by.
Speaker 12 (06:16):
Hamas in a mask.
Speaker 13 (06:18):
So after October seventh, the show sent me to all
these college campuses, and I'm asking all these students who
are protesters. They say they're protesters, you know about October seventh?
What about what they did the babies? What about the hostages?
And they're all denining. We're like, man, they sound like
little Hamas, right.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, come to find.
Speaker 13 (06:35):
Out they are a lot of the leaders are. Now
there are some naive kids, but I think we've got
to be smarter. The country either we're going to be
Little Gaza or we're going to be America. But we
can't have people going down Midtown Manhattan or going downtown
where they attacked the towers with kafiz with the flags
of Hamas calling for a calife. It just doesn't make
(06:55):
any sense. And we keep saying first Amendment, First Amendment,
first Amendment. Where do we draw the line. If the
people sound like tears are saying that they want to
destroy the country, shouldn't we be able to arrest them?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I think yes, that's Lawrence Jones speaking at the end,
and I think he hits on something critically important. He
mentions that these activists are calling for a caliphate. One
of these episodes, I probably need to delve into the
history of the Islamic Caliphate and what all of this means,
because it's pretty profound. For now, I'll just remind everyone
(07:29):
that the caliphate, which was an office that combined the
roles of an Islamic political, religious, and military leader. Think
of it like having a president, a pope, and a
five star general all rolled into one. It was abolished
in nineteen twenty four by then President at a Turk
of Turkey. For the last hundred years. Parts of the
(07:50):
Islamic world have been calling for that office to be restored.
Some parts have been more militant about it. You may
recall groups such as Isis al Kahi, the Muslim Brotherhood.
All of these groups had as their ultimate stated goal
through a reinstitution of a global caliphate. Now, what's the
big deal about that? Because they teach their followers that
(08:12):
this Khaliph sometimes they call him via mom will one
day defeat Israel and expel every last Jew from their land. Yeah,
that's a problem. If you've ever sit in Sunday school
with me, you probably know just how big of a
problem that is. But back to the more immediate issue.
We've made a big deal about groups such as MS
thirteen and Trende Aragua, but these terrorist groups may pale
(08:36):
a comparison to what could turn out to be an
even bigger threat. The guy in Boulder, he was from Egypt,
not Venezuela or a Salvador. We need to know what's
coming into our country and we need to know. Now
here's speaker Johnson.
Speaker 14 (08:52):
If you applied Democrat logic to this case, Solomon was
one of their constituents, as they say, and under their framing.
He was just a Colorado man, right. But when you
see Democrats ramping up a tax on ice agents and
storming ice attention facilities and calling for the dismantlement advice,
just know that this is who they're defending.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
This is the result.
Speaker 14 (09:13):
Fortunately, President Trump has quickly slammed the border shut by
simply enforcing existing law. But this administration needs the resources
to detain and process and deport the millions of dangerous
illegals who President Biden welcomed into the country. And this
is why we need the one big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
At this point, I agree, let's get the thing passed
and fix this mix back in a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.

Speaker 12 (09:43):

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
(10:52):
in between, can reduce your monthly income by up to
thirty percent. That could mean thousands of dollars US 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
(11:16):
you and your loved ones. And if you live longer
than you expect, those reduced benefits might not be enough.

So before the break, we were talking about how anti
(14:18):
Semitic terrorism has exploded as a result of the Biden
administration's refusal to enforce immigration law and border security. Yet
Democrats and their sympathetic liberal judges seem more concerned about
limiting ice and keeping illegal immigrants here in the United States.
You would think that protecting our own people would be
(14:39):
common sense policy. Here's what a Keem Jeffries Democratic speaker
Want to Be has to say when asked about it
by CNN's Dana Bash.
Speaker 15 (14:47):
It's unfortunate that our Republican colleagues continue to be nothing
more than rubber stamps for Trump's reckless and extreme agenda,
and the American people, I think will ultimately reject that
next year, when we we'll take back control of the
House of Representatives. In the meantime, in terms of how
we will respond to what Trump and the administration has
(15:08):
endeavored to do, we will make that decision in a time,
place and manner of our choosing. But the response will
be continuous and it will meet the moment that is required.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
What exactly does that mean?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Have you not decided how to respond?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Jeffries can't even answer a friendly journalist who asked him
to clarify his incoherent and rambling response. He goes on
to repeat himself almost verbatim. Remember this is the guy
who would become Speaker should the Democrats take the House
next year. But yeah, protecting Americans isn't common sense. It's
reckless and extreme Democrats and Jeffries, they're not interested in
(15:50):
doing that. He's more excited about his process becoming the
next Speaker, and the only way he can do that
is to talk down Trump's popularity to make it seem
like the America First agenda is out of touch. With
the voters listen to what he's saying.
Speaker 15 (16:05):
But Donald Trump has learned an important lesson. The American
people aren't interested in bending the knee to a wanna
be king. It's the reason why Donald Trump actually is
the most unpopular president at this point of a presidency
in American history. The American people have rejected this approach.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
So Jeffries tries to further the Democrats' main narrative here
that Trump is the most unpopular president at this point
in its term, but that's the only way he can
undermine his agenda. But is that even true. Let's take
a deep dive into Trump's numbers. First off, the Real
Clear Politics average of presidential approval has Trump at forty
(16:46):
seven point five percent, which is in that negative of
two point two. But the polls included in the average
have a huge variance, ranging from a minus thirteen to
a plus eleven. Now that kind of spread. The polls
aren't even describing the same picture. And we all know
the issues that most of these outlets have when they're
pulling Trump. But a king, Jeffries is already wrong on
(17:09):
the historical front. If we even assume the least favorable
holes out there are accurate. Trump is still ahead of
this first term and Bill Clinton's first term, who was
already down to thirty seven by this point according to Gallup.
And if you take the RCP average of forty seven percent,
that's better than Nixon and George W. Bush's second terms
(17:30):
and even Obamas. So definitely not the worst. Like I
just said, though, most of these polls showing Trump and
the negative are the same as those that have understated
his support for literally a decade now. Other polling outlets
have Trump all the way up into the mid fifties.
Here's Matt Towery, who heads up Insider Advantage, which has
(17:53):
been the most accurate national polling firm since twenty twenty.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
But things are really going well with the economy. You
can feel it, and I think the average American realizes it.
Those who are on main Street. It's Wall Street and
the media that are the problem. Wall Street is fixated
on these tariffs, and the media is fixated on reporting
the negative side of those tariffs. Most people aren't feeling
that inflation because it's going down. Most people are not
(18:19):
upset with Trump's policies. They know he's making progress. They
have a general feeling that things are going well. I'll
add this, Robert Hayley nor I neither one of us
really poll issues all that much. So we haven't polled
the economy. But I know one thing about Robert's polling,
and are pulling an insider advantage of that is if
we have Trump at fifty four or fifty five or
fifty six, he's at least there or higher, because we
(18:41):
do not miss when it comes to polling Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Okay, So two key takeaways from this. The first is
Towery doesn't even the mid fifties as Trump's ceiling. He
sees it as the floor. Basically that Trump is closer
to fifty seven percent than forty seven. It's the media
propping up the keen Jefferys narrative, if not any actual data.
The second key point Towry makes is that it's the
(19:05):
economy driving all of this still, and that there's a
general sense that people like Trump's economic policies. Regular folk
at least feel like Trump and the GOP are looking
out for them. But while he says that his firm
hasn't pulled specifically on economic issues, other polling firms have.
(19:25):
Harry Enton explains what CNN has found the party.
Speaker 17 (19:29):
That is closest to your economic views, and November of
twenty twenty three, it was the Republicans by eleven points.
Now it's still within that range, still within that margin
of our plus eight point advantage for the Republican Party.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
How is that possible?
Speaker 17 (19:41):
Democrats?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
How is that possible after all the.
Speaker 17 (19:43):
Recession, Because after the stock market's been doing all of this,
after all the towerts that Americans are against, and Republicans
still hold an eight point lead on the economy.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 11 (19:53):
This is a CNN This is new CNN pulling.
Speaker 8 (19:55):
How is that when we look for trends?
Speaker 11 (19:57):
How is that trending with other data that you're pulling in?
Speaker 17 (19:59):
Yeah, if it was just the one CNN Paul, that
would be one thing.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But take a look at Reuter's ipsos. What do we
see here?
Speaker 17 (20:05):
Party with a better economic plan? Well, it May of
twenty twenty four, just before Donald Trump was reelected president,
Republicans had a nine point advantage. Look at where we
are now. In May of twenty twenty five, the advantage
actually went up by three points. Now Republicans have a
twelve point advantage when it comes to the party with
a better economic plan, and.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
It's not just economic issues. Check out crime and what.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Do we see here?
Speaker 17 (20:29):
We see that Donald Trump's net approval rating on handling
crime is far better now at plus two points the
view of term number two.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Then we go back to a retrospective.
Speaker 17 (20:38):
Approval rating back in March of twenty twenty four, in
which he was underwater at minus thirteen points. So he's
doing fifteen points better in terms of how people are
viewing his handling of crime.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Now, if Trump's approval holds, the Republicans have a very
real chance of keeping the house next year. Back after
this where.

Speaker 12 (22:56):
Welcome back you're listening to That's the bottom line. Weekly
broadcast on KLVII that tells it like it is. And
now this is Gene Valerani reporting, and it's time for
that segment of the show that we referred to as
the Dirty Little Secret. So listen up because there's a
(23:17):
lot of information here that you need to know of that.
Let me begin by saying that the mystery of the
Biden administration and his automatic ink pen is thickening. I'm
talking about all those pardons granted by Biden, including the
(23:41):
one for his son Hunter. If indeed the former president's
signature was done by an automatic machine, many are arguing
that the pardons granted by former President Biden before he
left office would not would be invalid. In other words,
(24:04):
the machine did it, he didn't sign it. Now, how
far this is going to go will be discussed by
Congress as to the validity of Biden's signature since they
were automated, So who was operating the machine, I guess
is one of the questions. His mechanical signature on last
(24:26):
minute pardons just before he turned the presidency over to
President Trump is the issue as to whether they're valid
or not. And by now most Americans know former President
Biden was mentally incompetent during much of his presidency, which means,
(24:49):
if true, who really was running the country during the
Biden administration. If Biden's subordinate aids were just using a
machine that duplicated Biden's signature, are the pardons valid or not?
Becomes the question at this juncture in time, ladies and gentlemen,
(25:15):
it has become common knowledge that former President Joe Biden
was losing his mental capacities during his presidency, despite his
personal physician claiming that he was competent, while other members
(25:35):
of the Biden administration covered up for him. Also, well,
who was the imitation president or should I say presidents
with a handful of his aides carrying out what should
have been carried out only by Biden himself. And during
(25:56):
his tenure in the oval office, former President Biden was
a I guess you could say an absent chief executive. Now,
I remember during Donald Trump's first presidency how Democrats railed
against President Trump constantly. They were always complaining about whether
(26:19):
he was fit for duty or not. You think back,
you remember all that, and of course you know they
kept they even tried to impeach him after he left
offs Funny, funny, how what the Democrats scream about when
a Republican holds the presidency? But when it becomes common
knowledge that a Democrat president is mentally incompetent, it's so quiet.
(26:47):
All you hear is crickets. Now I will be curious
as to how history treats the Biden presidency. And more importantly,
now the Democratic Party has abandoned the American people and
began pushing socialism and or communism. Now, President Trump was
(27:13):
vilified unfairly after his first term, and he was drugged
before what many believe were crooked judges who gleefully had
criminal Democrat prosecutors and DA's charged mister Trump with made
up crimes so as to accuse him of nonexistent crimes
(27:38):
inside juries made up mostly of Democrats, so as to
turn those false allegations against him, and if they had
gotten away with it, sent him to prison on false
charges like happens to people in foreign countries, places like
China and North Korea. They don't get fair trials there.
(28:02):
Had those crooked prosecutors succeeded in their attacked to put
Trump behind bars, it would have been the death knell
for American justice. Now, we Americans would have been no
better off than the people in places like North Korea
(28:22):
and communists China over those poor souls left to sever suffer,
I should say, under cruel dictators in third world countries.
Fortunately we still remain free, but evil politicians steal, plot
and scheme with corrupt members of the left wing media
(28:44):
to steal our freedoms as Americans, people who would burn
up our precious Bill of rights throw us into a
two class society were selfish left wing politicians would lord
it over the rest of us. Has has been said
time and time again, freedom is not free. The United
(29:08):
States of America has been and always will be a
free and just society if we the people recognize what
has been bestowed upon us and are determined not to
ever have evil politicians or foreign despots take it away
from you and me, from all of us, Liberty is
(29:29):
ours to keep if we can prevent others from taking
it or away from us, and listen to me, ladies
and gentlemen, that's truly the bottom line, and that's what
we want to share with you this morning, because actually
we see this occurring constantly. We see a renegade, runaway
(29:53):
Democrat party. Nothing has happened to those prosecutors, yet it
brought those false charges against President Trump before he became
before it became elected to his second term. One of them,
the one in New York. She's facing charges of having
(30:17):
a crooked bought a house on crooked by signing false documents.
I wonder how that's going to turn out. The point
is that whenever there is no justice there is we
all suffer. And that's the point I'm trying to make,
(30:39):
and I wanted to call it to your attention back
after this.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to that's the
bottom line. You're weekly broadcast on KLVI that tells it
like it is. And by the way, if you miss
today's broadcast so you don't hear it while it's coming
to you on the radio, you can always log on
to save my Retirement door dot com or that's the
(33:33):
bottom Line radio show. And here are past shows there
anytime you want. Okay, now what I want to do.
I want to give you our solution, and here's one
that you need to pay attention to. At Asset Growth Associates,
where we spend time with our clients during the week,
(33:58):
we help them. We help them deploy funds into both
traditional investments and often based on a client's individual risk analysis,
we incorporate principal protection as well. Now, the portion of
the portfolio inside principal protection earns market linked returns without
(34:23):
exposure to market linked losses. The Biden administration, through its
careless fiscal policies and its war on fossil fuels. During
the Biden administration and all those planned a tax increases,
he was wanting to burden us with. That's why we
(34:45):
got to get the Trump's the Congress has got the Senate. Really,
I should say at this stage, we're going to get
that great, big, beautiful deal that Trump talks about, make
those tax decreases permit and so they don't go back
up again. Going to protect your nest stakes. That's so important.
(35:06):
But the good news is there are plans available meantime
that shelter accounts from both taxes and market risk too.
We've been offering these types of accounts for decades now,
and the beauty of these types of plans is that
they can earn market link returns without exposure to stock
(35:30):
market loss. It's defensive investing. For a time when socialism
and communism have been rearing their ugly heads here in
the United States. You know, the Communist Party is gain
to put hold in the Democrat Party and it is
(35:52):
their intention to close down our American free market system.
They're going to fail, but by the same token, these
types of accounts provide safety nets for our clients. Now
the Democrat Party is organized now they want to close
(36:12):
down the free enterprise and system and institute more tack
station to waste money on windmills, solar panels, and of course,
in oil rich Texas, the elected Democrats and the state
legislature are willing to sell off our sovereignty to communists
(36:33):
infested Democrats in Washington, d C. Now the Trump administration
is opening oil fields up in Alaska as well, so
oil is coming back. But listen to me, all these people,
all these people that are fighting our energy systems and
(36:56):
I guess want us to have windmills instead. They'll need
to come back to their senses. And it's too bad.
The only penalty they'll ever face is being forced to
perform the duties they were elected to do, but never
do it, never do them. I guess I would be
(37:17):
a better way to say it, but as we all know,
they're in league with federal Democrats who are working to
eliminate all of you ladies and gentlemen, all of us
who comprise the American middle class. They need to face
harsher penalties than just being forced to do their jobs.
(37:42):
America is threatened, and so is Texas by communists, insurgents
determined and freedom and liberty by making false claims about everything.
Every time an in ineligible person or the legal vote
is cast, it eliminates the legal vote of a Texan
(38:05):
or an American elsewhere. And the runaway Texas Democrats, you
know they're they're just as bad as the National Democrats,
they join the Socialists and the communists, and I, just
as I was just explaining to you, really they should
be made to pay a bigger penalty than just being
(38:25):
required to do their job. They're not fighting for you,
they're grand standing. They're just grand standing to help take
away your freedoms. All that aside, we want to remind
our listeners we have plans where you can get market
link returns without being exposed to market link losses. I

blind story, Terrorism is on the rise.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
This is a Fox News alert. I'm griffgingins in New York.
A man is in police custody after he reportedly set
people on fire in Boulder, Colorado, leaving multiple people hurt.
That he is an Egyptian national who is in the
US illegally because of a visa overstay who came during
the Biden administration.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
An Egyptian man here illegally on an expired work visa,
used molotov cocktails and a makeshift flamethrower in an outdoor
shopping mall while shouting Free Palestine. This comes right on
the heels of what we all woke up to two
weeks ago.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
We begin this morning with a Fox News alert. Two
Israeli diplomats killed in Washington, d C. After a shooter
opens fire outside the Capitol Jewish Museum.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
A suspect is in.
Speaker 8 (02:57):
Custody as we learn about the postile motive behind this
horrific act.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
The motive that part's easy. The shooter made it crystal clear.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Agreelifide out.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Oh, I don't know, Gee, does anyone detect a trend here?
Anti Semitic attacks are on the rise, and it's coming
from leftists who want to influence American policy in relation
to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It's been going on for
decades in Israel, but now they decided to bring that
garbage here. Florida Congressman Randy Fine had this to say
(03:41):
following the Boulder terrorist attack.
Speaker 9 (03:44):
Well, I'm angry. Look, I'm not a congress sistic congressman.
I'm Jewish and I'm the father of two Jewish boys
who have to deal with this in this world. It
feels like open hunting season on Jews right now, and
we have got to do something to stop it. For
eighteen months, these terrorists have said globalize the Antifada by
(04:04):
any means necessary, and the left kept telling us they
don't mean it, they don't mean it, they don't mean it.
Here's what worries me the most. They doubled down after
every attack. After the two people were shot in Washington, DC,
they upped the rhetoric, and they will do it again
here if we do not begin to crack down on
this violent terrorist movement, because that is what.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
It is, open hunting season on Jews. That pretty much
sums it up. This is what the Biben administration let
fester on college campuses where students or as we're finding out,
more like paid instigators, what vandalize buildings and terrorized Jewish
students in places like Columbia University. Universities like Harvard have
(04:50):
been acting like they offer graduate studies and anti semitism,
and now the pot is bowling over into the rest
of society more likely, though, this sort of activity isn't organic.
It's being organized but by who. This exchange on the
panel of Fox and Friends shed some light. It's a
(05:10):
little long, but take a listen.
Speaker 10 (05:13):
So you look at the protests and college campuses and
they say the same thing that these protesters said, that
mutant that shot the two, the couple in DC that
shed free Palestine. Then you find out about the protesters
and you say, well, these old students at Columbia last
year and a few months ago, and the answer is no.
(05:33):
For example, the cover of the New York Post, you
could see it now. If not, I'll hold it up
as a twenty year old and this twenty year old
was on campus creating havoc, saying anti Semitic phrases, punching.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Jewish kids in the face.
Speaker 10 (05:45):
And he is directly contacted and supported by Hamas overseas.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He has the flag over him.
Speaker 10 (05:52):
He's been arrested, I assume going to be deported if
not jailed here. And he was part of the unrest
college age but not a collegead kid up.
Speaker 11 (06:02):
In the jew Hater contemplating setting a student on fire,
direct links to Hamas. He was chatting with this Hamas
group on social media, awaits trial and dieded on three
federal hate crimes against Jewish people and wore a green
headband worn by.
Speaker 12 (06:16):
Hamas in a mask.
Speaker 13 (06:18):
So after October seventh, the show sent me to all
these college campuses, and I'm asking all these students who
are protesters. They say they're protesters, you know about October seventh?
What about what they did the babies? What about the hostages?
And they're all denining. We're like, man, they sound like
little Hamas, right.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, come to find.
Speaker 13 (06:35):
Out they are a lot of the leaders are. Now
there are some naive kids, but I think we've got
to be smarter. The country either we're going to be
Little Gaza or we're going to be America. But we
can't have people going down Midtown Manhattan or going downtown
where they attacked the towers with kafiz with the flags
of Hamas calling for a calife. It just doesn't make
(06:55):
any sense. And we keep saying first Amendment, First Amendment,
first Amendment. Where do we draw the line. If the
people sound like tears are saying that they want to
destroy the country, shouldn't we be able to arrest them?
Speaker 6 (07:07):
I think yes, that's Lawrence Jones speaking at the end,
and I think he hits on something critically important. He
mentions that these activists are calling for a caliphate. One
of these episodes, I probably need to delve into the
history of the Islamic Caliphate and what all of this means,
because it's pretty profound. For now, I'll just remind everyone
(07:29):
that the caliphate, which was an office that combined the
roles of an Islamic political, religious, and military leader. Think
of it like having a president, a pope, and a
five star general all rolled into one. It was abolished
in nineteen twenty four by then President at a Turk
of Turkey. For the last hundred years. Parts of the
(07:50):
Islamic world have been calling for that office to be restored.
Some parts have been more militant about it. You may
recall groups such as Isis al Kahi, the Muslim Brotherhood.
All of these groups had as their ultimate stated goal
through a reinstitution of a global caliphate. Now, what's the
big deal about that? Because they teach their followers that
(08:12):
this Khaliph sometimes they call him via mom will one
day defeat Israel and expel every last Jew from their land. Yeah,
that's a problem. If you've ever sit in Sunday school
with me, you probably know just how big of a
problem that is. But back to the more immediate issue.
We've made a big deal about groups such as MS
thirteen and Trende Aragua, but these terrorist groups may pale
(08:36):
a comparison to what could turn out to be an
even bigger threat. The guy in Boulder, he was from Egypt,
not Venezuela or a Salvador. We need to know what's
coming into our country and we need to know. Now
here's speaker Johnson.
Speaker 14 (08:52):
If you applied Democrat logic to this case, Solomon was
one of their constituents, as they say, and under their framing.
He was just a Colorado man, right. But when you
see Democrats ramping up a tax on ice agents and
storming ice attention facilities and calling for the dismantlement advice,
just know that this is who they're defending.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
This is the result.
Speaker 14 (09:13):
Fortunately, President Trump has quickly slammed the border shut by
simply enforcing existing law. But this administration needs the resources
to detain and process and deport the millions of dangerous
illegals who President Biden welcomed into the country. And this
is why we need the one big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 6 (09:31):
At this point, I agree, let's get the thing passed
and fix this mix back in a moment.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.

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
(10:52):
in between, can reduce your monthly income by up to
thirty percent. That could mean thousands of dollars US 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
(11:16):
you and your loved ones. And if you live longer
than you expect, those reduced benefits might not be enough.

So before the break, we were talking about how anti
(14:18):
Semitic terrorism has exploded as a result of the Biden
administration's refusal to enforce immigration law and border security. Yet
Democrats and their sympathetic liberal judges seem more concerned about
limiting ice and keeping illegal immigrants here in the United States.
You would think that protecting our own people would be
(14:39):
common sense policy. Here's what a Keem Jeffries Democratic speaker
Want to Be has to say when asked about it
by CNN's Dana Bash.
Speaker 15 (14:47):
It's unfortunate that our Republican colleagues continue to be nothing
more than rubber stamps for Trump's reckless and extreme agenda,
and the American people, I think will ultimately reject that
next year, when we we'll take back control of the
House of Representatives. In the meantime, in terms of how
we will respond to what Trump and the administration has
(15:08):
endeavored to do, we will make that decision in a time,
place and manner of our choosing. But the response will
be continuous and it will meet the moment that is required.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
What exactly does that mean?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Have you not decided how to respond?
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Jeffries can't even answer a friendly journalist who asked him
to clarify his incoherent and rambling response. He goes on
to repeat himself almost verbatim. Remember this is the guy
who would become Speaker should the Democrats take the House
next year. But yeah, protecting Americans isn't common sense. It's
reckless and extreme Democrats and Jeffries, they're not interested in
(15:50):
doing that. He's more excited about his process becoming the
next Speaker, and the only way he can do that
is to talk down Trump's popularity to make it seem
like the America First agenda is out of touch. With
the voters listen to what he's saying.
Speaker 15 (16:05):
But Donald Trump has learned an important lesson. The American
people aren't interested in bending the knee to a wanna
be king. It's the reason why Donald Trump actually is
the most unpopular president at this point of a presidency
in American history. The American people have rejected this approach.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
So Jeffries tries to further the Democrats' main narrative here
that Trump is the most unpopular president at this point
in its term, but that's the only way he can
undermine his agenda. But is that even true. Let's take
a deep dive into Trump's numbers. First off, the Real
Clear Politics average of presidential approval has Trump at forty
(16:46):
seven point five percent, which is in that negative of
two point two. But the polls included in the average
have a huge variance, ranging from a minus thirteen to
a plus eleven. Now that kind of spread. The polls
aren't even describing the same picture. And we all know
the issues that most of these outlets have when they're
pulling Trump. But a king, Jeffries is already wrong on
(17:09):
the historical front. If we even assume the least favorable
holes out there are accurate. Trump is still ahead of
this first term and Bill Clinton's first term, who was
already down to thirty seven by this point according to Gallup.
And if you take the RCP average of forty seven percent,
that's better than Nixon and George W. Bush's second terms
(17:30):
and even Obamas. So definitely not the worst. Like I
just said, though, most of these polls showing Trump and
the negative are the same as those that have understated
his support for literally a decade now. Other polling outlets
have Trump all the way up into the mid fifties.
Here's Matt Towery, who heads up Insider Advantage, which has
(17:53):
been the most accurate national polling firm since twenty twenty.
Speaker 16 (17:58):
But things are really going well with the economy. You
can feel it, and I think the average American realizes it.
Those who are on main Street. It's Wall Street and
the media that are the problem. Wall Street is fixated
on these tariffs, and the media is fixated on reporting
the negative side of those tariffs. Most people aren't feeling
that inflation because it's going down. Most people are not
(18:19):
upset with Trump's policies. They know he's making progress. They
have a general feeling that things are going well. I'll
add this, Robert Hayley nor I neither one of us
really poll issues all that much. So we haven't polled
the economy. But I know one thing about Robert's polling,
and are pulling an insider advantage of that is if
we have Trump at fifty four or fifty five or
fifty six, he's at least there or higher, because we
(18:41):
do not miss when it comes to polling Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Okay, So two key takeaways from this. The first is
Towery doesn't even the mid fifties as Trump's ceiling. He
sees it as the floor. Basically that Trump is closer
to fifty seven percent than forty seven. It's the media
propping up the keen Jefferys narrative, if not any actual data.
The second key point Towry makes is that it's the
(19:05):
economy driving all of this still, and that there's a
general sense that people like Trump's economic policies. Regular folk
at least feel like Trump and the GOP are looking
out for them. But while he says that his firm
hasn't pulled specifically on economic issues, other polling firms have.
(19:25):
Harry Enton explains what CNN has found the party.
Speaker 17 (19:29):
That is closest to your economic views, and November of
twenty twenty three, it was the Republicans by eleven points.
Now it's still within that range, still within that margin
of our plus eight point advantage for the Republican Party.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
How is that possible?
Speaker 17 (19:41):
Democrats?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
How is that possible after all the.
Speaker 17 (19:43):
Recession, Because after the stock market's been doing all of this,
after all the towerts that Americans are against, and Republicans
still hold an eight point lead on the economy.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 11 (19:53):
This is a CNN This is new CNN pulling.
Speaker 8 (19:55):
How is that when we look for trends?
Speaker 11 (19:57):
How is that trending with other data that you're pulling in?
Speaker 17 (19:59):
Yeah, if it was just the one CNN Paul, that
would be one thing.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But take a look at Reuter's ipsos. What do we
see here?
Speaker 17 (20:05):
Party with a better economic plan? Well, it May of
twenty twenty four, just before Donald Trump was reelected president,
Republicans had a nine point advantage. Look at where we
are now. In May of twenty twenty five, the advantage
actually went up by three points. Now Republicans have a
twelve point advantage when it comes to the party with
a better economic plan, and.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
It's not just economic issues. Check out crime and what.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Do we see here?
Speaker 17 (20:29):
We see that Donald Trump's net approval rating on handling
crime is far better now at plus two points the
view of term number two.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Then we go back to a retrospective.
Speaker 17 (20:38):
Approval rating back in March of twenty twenty four, in
which he was underwater at minus thirteen points. So he's
doing fifteen points better in terms of how people are
viewing his handling of crime.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Now, if Trump's approval holds, the Republicans have a very
real chance of keeping the house next year. Back after
this where.

That's the bottom line.
Speaker 12 (22:56):
Welcome back you're listening to That's the bottom line. Weekly
broadcast on KLVII that tells it like it is. And
now this is Gene Valerani reporting, and it's time for
that segment of the show that we referred to as
the Dirty Little Secret. So listen up because there's a
(23:17):
lot of information here that you need to know of that.
Let me begin by saying that the mystery of the
Biden administration and his automatic ink pen is thickening. I'm
talking about all those pardons granted by Biden, including the
(23:41):
one for his son Hunter. If indeed the former president's
signature was done by an automatic machine, many are arguing
that the pardons granted by former President Biden before he
left office would not would be invalid. In other words,
(24:04):
the machine did it, he didn't sign it. Now, how
far this is going to go will be discussed by
Congress as to the validity of Biden's signature since they
were automated, So who was operating the machine, I guess
is one of the questions. His mechanical signature on last
(24:26):
minute pardons just before he turned the presidency over to
President Trump is the issue as to whether they're valid
or not. And by now most Americans know former President
Biden was mentally incompetent during much of his presidency, which means,
(24:49):
if true, who really was running the country during the
Biden administration. If Biden's subordinate aids were just using a
machine that duplicated Biden's signature, are the pardons valid or not?
Becomes the question at this juncture in time, ladies and gentlemen,
(25:15):
it has become common knowledge that former President Joe Biden
was losing his mental capacities during his presidency, despite his
personal physician claiming that he was competent, while other members
(25:35):
of the Biden administration covered up for him. Also, well,
who was the imitation president or should I say presidents
with a handful of his aides carrying out what should
have been carried out only by Biden himself. And during
(25:56):
his tenure in the oval office, former President Biden was
a I guess you could say an absent chief executive. Now,
I remember during Donald Trump's first presidency how Democrats railed
against President Trump constantly. They were always complaining about whether
(26:19):
he was fit for duty or not. You think back,
you remember all that, and of course you know they
kept they even tried to impeach him after he left
offs Funny, funny, how what the Democrats scream about when
a Republican holds the presidency? But when it becomes common
knowledge that a Democrat president is mentally incompetent, it's so quiet.
(26:47):
All you hear is crickets. Now I will be curious
as to how history treats the Biden presidency. And more importantly,
now the Democratic Party has abandoned the American people and
began pushing socialism and or communism. Now, President Trump was
(27:13):
vilified unfairly after his first term, and he was drugged
before what many believe were crooked judges who gleefully had
criminal Democrat prosecutors and DA's charged mister Trump with made
up crimes so as to accuse him of nonexistent crimes
(27:38):
inside juries made up mostly of Democrats, so as to
turn those false allegations against him, and if they had
gotten away with it, sent him to prison on false
charges like happens to people in foreign countries, places like
China and North Korea. They don't get fair trials there.
(28:02):
Had those crooked prosecutors succeeded in their attacked to put
Trump behind bars, it would have been the death knell
for American justice. Now, we Americans would have been no
better off than the people in places like North Korea
(28:22):
and communists China over those poor souls left to sever suffer,
I should say, under cruel dictators in third world countries.
Fortunately we still remain free, but evil politicians steal, plot
and scheme with corrupt members of the left wing media
(28:44):
to steal our freedoms as Americans, people who would burn
up our precious Bill of rights throw us into a
two class society were selfish left wing politicians would lord
it over the rest of us. Has has been said
time and time again, freedom is not free. The United
(29:08):
States of America has been and always will be a
free and just society if we the people recognize what
has been bestowed upon us and are determined not to
ever have evil politicians or foreign despots take it away
from you and me, from all of us, Liberty is
(29:29):
ours to keep if we can prevent others from taking
it or away from us, and listen to me, ladies
and gentlemen, that's truly the bottom line, and that's what
we want to share with you this morning, because actually
we see this occurring constantly. We see a renegade, runaway
(29:53):
Democrat party. Nothing has happened to those prosecutors, yet it
brought those false charges against President Trump before he became
before it became elected to his second term. One of them,
the one in New York. She's facing charges of having
(30:17):
a crooked bought a house on crooked by signing false documents.
I wonder how that's going to turn out. The point
is that whenever there is no justice there is we
all suffer. And that's the point I'm trying to make,
(30:39):
and I wanted to call it to your attention back
after this.

We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 12 (33:09):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to that's the
bottom line. You're weekly broadcast on KLVI that tells it
like it is. And by the way, if you miss
today's broadcast so you don't hear it while it's coming
to you on the radio, you can always log on
to save my Retirement door dot com or that's the
(33:33):
bottom Line radio show. And here are past shows there
anytime you want. Okay, now what I want to do.
I want to give you our solution, and here's one
that you need to pay attention to. At Asset Growth Associates,
where we spend time with our clients during the week,
(33:58):
we help them. We help them deploy funds into both
traditional investments and often based on a client's individual risk analysis,
we incorporate principal protection as well. Now, the portion of
the portfolio inside principal protection earns market linked returns without
(34:23):
exposure to market linked losses. The Biden administration, through its
careless fiscal policies and its war on fossil fuels. During
the Biden administration and all those planned a tax increases,
he was wanting to burden us with. That's why we
(34:45):
got to get the Trump's the Congress has got the Senate. Really,
I should say at this stage, we're going to get
that great, big, beautiful deal that Trump talks about, make
those tax decreases permit and so they don't go back
up again. Going to protect your nest stakes. That's so important.
(35:06):
But the good news is there are plans available meantime
that shelter accounts from both taxes and market risk too.
We've been offering these types of accounts for decades now,
and the beauty of these types of plans is that
they can earn market link returns without exposure to stock
(35:30):
market loss. It's defensive investing. For a time when socialism
and communism have been rearing their ugly heads here in
the United States. You know, the Communist Party is gain
to put hold in the Democrat Party and it is
(35:52):
their intention to close down our American free market system.
They're going to fail, but by the same token, these
types of accounts provide safety nets for our clients. Now
the Democrat Party is organized now they want to close
(36:12):
down the free enterprise and system and institute more tack
station to waste money on windmills, solar panels, and of course,
in oil rich Texas, the elected Democrats and the state
legislature are willing to sell off our sovereignty to communists
(36:33):
infested Democrats in Washington, d C. Now the Trump administration
is opening oil fields up in Alaska as well, so
oil is coming back. But listen to me, all these people,
all these people that are fighting our energy systems and
(36:56):
I guess want us to have windmills instead. They'll need
to come back to their senses. And it's too bad.
The only penalty they'll ever face is being forced to
perform the duties they were elected to do, but never
do it, never do them. I guess I would be
(37:17):
a better way to say it, but as we all know,
they're in league with federal Democrats who are working to
eliminate all of you ladies and gentlemen, all of us
who comprise the American middle class. They need to face
harsher penalties than just being forced to do their jobs.
(37:42):
America is threatened, and so is Texas by communists, insurgents
determined and freedom and liberty by making false claims about everything.
Every time an in ineligible person or the legal vote
is cast, it eliminates the legal vote of a Texan
(38:05):
or an American elsewhere. And the runaway Texas Democrats, you
know they're they're just as bad as the National Democrats,
they join the Socialists and the communists, and I, just
as I was just explaining to you, really they should
be made to pay a bigger penalty than just being
(38:25):
required to do their job. They're not fighting for you,
they're grand standing. They're just grand standing to help take
away your freedoms. All that aside, we want to remind
our listeners we have plans where you can get market
link returns without being exposed to market link losses. I
