Speaker 2 (01:36):
We're just trying to turn an eckel into a time.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Welcome to real honest talk about money, politics, news and information.
You can actually use bugle and hold on type this is.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
The best thing that life ire. But you can give
them to the bed and be the.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Good morning everybody.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
This is that's the bottom line. I'm your host, Jeff
Lewis of ass Growth Associates along with Jeane Valerani. Thanks
for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed your long weekend last week,
because well it's over now. Speaking for myself, I had
a great time reealed some burgers, wait some cards, all
the while totally oblivious to the fact that our great
(02:45):
President Donald J.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Trump, tragically.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
I can't even remember myself to say it for me,
the grief ist t in. I just don't know how
we go on from here as a country. I suppose
it now falls to JD. Vance to take the helm
(03:10):
and make America great yeh wait, what's that?
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Seriously, this has to be one of the most idiotic
pieces of garbage that ever hit the internet, which is
saying plenty, and yet somehow this is all people have
been talking about all week. Trump, over a long weekend
Labor Day weekend, for crying out loud, doesn't do a
public appearance for two days, and over a million lived
(03:53):
cards decide that man must be dead. I shouldn't even
have to mention the double standard and play here by
media that literally spent four years covering up for a
president whose job performance was best described as doa Last year,
the American people collectively agreed, whether a Republican or Democrat,
(04:14):
that the Biden presidency needed to do not resuscipate order.
That's why Democrats forced him off the ballot last summer
and why voters returned Donald Trump to office, and the
media led the charge in this cover up, telling you that, oh,
he's just fine as president mind had wandered aimlessly off
into the jungle. Yet even in the wake of an
(04:36):
obvious hoax, liberal media stooges are still trying to sell
that there's some major medical issue with Trump.
Speaker 9 (04:44):
And you know, when you have health issues. They tend
to crop up and you can hide them for so long.
And now that his whole hands and everything is nothing
but makeup, so you can't see all of the spotches.
And of course we've been treated and trying to hide
his ankles because his ankles are not as big as
Jack fucking head.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It seems that James Carville is missing his own diagnosis,
Trump arrangement syndrome, which, as it turns out, is more
contagious than COVID was ever imagined to be. Just listen
to these two late night clowns. The word comedian would
be too generous.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Donald Trump will never die, forget it. He's like Dracula.
Speaker 10 (05:25):
He's gonna keep sucking the life out of us forever.
Speaker 11 (05:27):
The biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether
Donald Trump had died. For the record, Donald Trump is
very much alive, okay, and.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
No now correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't
recall in the history of any network a show being
aired where people outright celebrated the idea of a president dying.
It turned out that Colbert's case of trump domands At
syndrome is terminal. I mean the show itself is already dead.
(06:00):
But that's how sick these people are. Check out these
comments from Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas, the Democratic VP nominee
who need I remind you was only a few states
shy of being an alcoholic away from the presidency, because look,
I get it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
through things.
Speaker 12 (06:18):
And although I will say this, the last few days
you woke up thinking there might be news, just saying
just saying.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
There will be news.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Are you saying something I don't know, Governor, Because I mean,
given the fact that the person you're talking about had
two legitimate attempts on his life last year, are you
sure it's a good idea to be running your mouth
about this kind of advanced knowledge. The staff part is
Walls didn't even stop there, as if those comments had known.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Aren't enough to warrant a visit for the Secret Service.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Let's stand up and let's don't let them take our
kindness as weakness.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
We can be kind and still kick the living out
of them.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
You could do both.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Those saying wait, you can do both.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
I guess I misinterpreted that bee kind bit. I'm getting
the feeling that Tim Walls doesn't have a very strong
mastery of the English vocabulary, or maybe you know, he's
just channeling his inner Joe Pesci.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
You know, do I have to kill you?
Speaker 13 (07:22):
What if I was just to kick the ever love
and Natty?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
So I get that an imbecile like Tim Walls might
take things too far, but it's kind of scary to
me just how serious people look this. It goes to
show the power of disinformation. And while I don't believe
in some kind of ministry of truth that the thought
police within the Biden administration tried to push on all
of us, it does illustrate how ridiculous a lie looks
(07:49):
when put right next to the truth. Here's Peter Doosey
at Fox News asking the President about this on Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
It'll be different, but.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
About a big viral social media trend over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
How did you find out over the weekend that you
were dead?
Speaker 14 (08:05):
You see that?
Speaker 7 (08:05):
No, people didn't see it for a couple of days,
one point three million user engagements as of Saturday morning
about your demise. Really, yeah, sure, he didn't see it.
He sees everything that's reported about him. He said that
because it simply doesn't matter, So enough of this democratic
death porn fetish. It's clear that when you compare the
(08:28):
two parties, one is focused on making America better, while
the other simply tries to run interference in any way possible,
distracting us from the issues that really do matter.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
By the way, what was the real news that day?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Turns out we blew a Venezuelan drug boat straight the hell,
along with the eleven Trende Aragua members on board. It's
yet another massive shift in policy from the Trump administration.
But we didn't talk about it, did we. That's our
real topline story today. But instead I live with this
other crack just to show how easy it is to
(09:06):
get sucked in by the sensationalism that feels our airways.
So stay focused, people. We'll talk more about this soon.
But here's Secretary Rubo explaining the administration's new outlook.
Speaker 15 (09:17):
Interdiction doesn't work because these drug cartels. What they do
is they know they're going to lose, you know, two percent.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Of their cargo.
Speaker 15 (09:23):
They bake it into their economics. What will stop them
is when you blow them up, when you get rid
of them. So they were designated as what they are.
They are narco terrorist organizations, and instead of interdicting it
on the president's orders, he blew it up and.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
It'll happen again.
Speaker 15 (09:40):
Maybe it's happening right now.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 15 (09:41):
But the point is the way the president of the
United States is going to wage war are narco terrorist organizations.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
This is such a dramatic shift in our domestic policy
that if this serves a full show next week, we'll
talk more about this along with any further developments.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
So stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
We're just trying to turn an applement to what time.
Speaker 14 (13:42):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 17 (13:49):
When we're back with that's the bottom line, I'm Jeff Lewis.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Last week we aired part of our conversation about redistricting
with Congressman Randy Webber. You can listen to the full
interview by searching for Save my Retirement Radio, but today
will air a sample of the additional topics we covered.
Here's an excerpt of our discussion about the previous administration.
(14:38):
Why isn't hasn't there been yet a Congressional hearing on
why this incompetent fool was allowed to remain in office
without invoking to twenty fifth Amendment when we knew for
a fact in year one this guy had lost his marbles.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Well, you know this, and the cabinet has to invoke
the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
That's part of the reason exactly. But Congress has oversight
on this. I mean, this is something we could be
looking into.
Speaker 18 (15:04):
Well, you try to try to get democratic cabinet to
kick their boss out. Uh, it was said even Brendan
and I said, you know, we watched Jill Biden just
kind of guide him by the elbow and American public
I know he called the elbow. Okay, yeah, I had
to see it. I understand, I understand. And so but
(15:27):
the thing I want to get to if you bring
up a good question by bringing this up, and that
is there had to be some illegality, some criminal acts there.
When somebody called it an auto pen call it whatever
you want to. When they usurped the president's power and
they signed something without his knowledge, that's forgery. Yeah, why
And there's some people going and you know they're trying
(15:49):
to get to the bottom of that. Jamie right now
is trying to get to the bottom of that.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
We also talked at linked about tariffs and other financial matters.
So it looks to me like production and the inflation
is actually hitting the producer, not the consumer. That the
corporations are actually eating some of the costs rather than
passing them on, which was the conventional wisdom.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Right, And that's exactly right.
Speaker 18 (16:13):
But the president and again I go back to Reagan,
I use that term, you know, waste, fraud, and abuse.
We've watched our depths to grow to what thirty six
trillion dollars.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I lost, count I ran, oh.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I hear you. But here's the point.
Speaker 18 (16:28):
Our friends across the sea are adversaries across the sea.
They were all taking advantage of us, whether it was
stuff from China coming in, stuff from Japan, or the
stuff from wherever it might be, Europeinian Union, you can
just name in the countries they were taking advantage of us.
And finally Trump says, look, we've got to change this.
Tariffs are hurting a lot of these companies that do
(16:50):
business overseas that much. I know for sure. I'm hoping
that we can hold on. We can get this to
a level playing field.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
And then that's the key.
Speaker 18 (16:59):
That is absolutely the key drums on the right track.
It's just we're going to hold on, hold out and
make sure that we can weather this storm if you
want to, and America will be better for it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
And on that note, I mean when I mentioned that,
you know, it's corporations that are eating some of the
costs here, I didn't say that they were domestic corporations. Obviously,
these are foreign based entities that have been making obscene
profits for many, many years off the American dime.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Now, some of them may be have international business and
be based in America for one those part. But for
the most part, these are foreign entities that are coming
in and taking advantage of, like you said, an unequal
playing field. Because I mean, for those of us that
grew up as free traders, Okay, one of the assumptions
that free trade was fair trade. Role that is not
the case because we have barriers to entry on every
(17:48):
other continent on the globe.
Speaker 18 (17:49):
That's right, Well, that's not fair. And you know this
happens in medication too, you know. Yeah, Americans pay a
lot of higher prices than the favored nations at US.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, we pay for like five continents worth the trucks here.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
And why is that we've been taken advantage of.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Chause we're supposed to for what we're supposed to get
all the costs of work.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Yeah, way too long, I know, I know, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
I mean, whether explore, you know, medication, or you know,
whatever it is. I mean, we've always assumed, because we
are the richest nation that God has ever seen fit
the bless that it's okay for us to bleed all
the costs here. But The thing is is that we're
not actually paying for it. We're borrowing from other countries
to pay for it. And that's not the same thing.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
That's got the stuff. And you can bring them a
good example when you talk about it like that.
Speaker 18 (18:39):
I will tell you this, the fact that Trump has
now said right that we're not going to do it
dislike that with those countries anymore. No more, they're not
gonna be able to take advantage of us. He's going
to fix the drug problem. He's done. Look at all
the things he's done with taxes, no tax on social curery,
no tax on tips, no tax on automobiles. I want
(18:59):
to ask you about that actually on the entrance, absolutely,
you bet, quick question on that.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So big beautiful bill passes.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Instead of no taxes on tips, what we end up
was a compromise because it went through reconciliation. As you
know that, we end up with a six thousand dollars
tax credit on the ether side, which by the way,
came from the Senate. Okay, y'all were at four Okay,
so six thousand dollars tax credit for each senior over
sixty five, so ver sixty five and over. So now
(19:26):
that said Since then, the President has come up with
the idea of still passing separately a no tax on
Social Security. So do you see that having any traction?
Is this something that the Democrats are going to actually
be forced to go along with? If they have any
hope of getting ten percent of the senior vote, you
would think that they would fill that person undo.
Speaker 18 (19:48):
But I'll tell you what, I don't know many Democrats
that think with their breath, you know what I'm saying.
You would think that they could because this means good
things for Americans, it means good things for seniors.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
You would think they to go along with.
Speaker 18 (20:00):
Boy, I tell you what I've observed in my in
my thirteen years, that is, they told that party line man,
when Nancy Pelosi said something, they jump.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
When King Jeffrey said something, they jump. And they paid
dearly at the polls.
Speaker 18 (20:15):
And we'll see in the next midterms if they're gonna
be paying attention saying you know what, we can't keep
following this crazy regime.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
We'll see.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Well, you gave me a perfect segue when you brought
up Nancy Pelosi, because she has been the criticism or
the subject of criticism for a lot of her financial
activities while in Congress. And I don't mean to kick
over Canterbarne. So I'm sure you have many colleagues that
might take umbrage to this, And obviously I don't cry
anyone's personal finances other than my clients. But that said,
(20:49):
I would love to hire her husband because that dude
pulls in more a higher rateed return than I ever
dreamed possible.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Do you have a homer?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I mean that's I mean, you know, if you get
if you look at the numbers on that, he's achieved
something that is literally impossible to do. Quite frankly, I mean,
you know, for those of us that sit in here
and look at numbers for a living, Okay, that doesn't exist. Okay,
(21:19):
he's pulled in what seventy percent on a bad year.
Come on, y'all. I mean, something is not right, you know.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
You know in police work they call that a clue.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Yeah, well, in other places they call it an indictment.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
We want to thank Congressman Weather and his lovely wife
Brenda for coming into our office and also to his
staff for the wonderful day we had together. Uh we
hope to do that again sometime real soon when we
come back, We'll have Geene val Rani here with this
week's thirty little Secret.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
We're just trying to turn a nekel into a dive.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 16 (22:01):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 13 (22:08):
Welcome back. This is Jeane Vallerati with this week's dirty
little Secret. Another week and another low level Democrat judge
issues an order against President Trump from sending the National
Guard into California, while the mayor of Chicago defies the
(22:30):
President to send troops into that crime ridden city. What
we have here are two low level local Democrat judges
and big city Democrat mayors interfering with law and order.
And the reaction of these low level Democrat judges and
(22:53):
mayors to interfere with President Trump's authority to use the
National Guard to help border in crime ridden cities. Well,
ladies and gentlemen, I think it's just a step too far.
The first question to arise in my mind is why
(23:13):
do so many of these Democrat controlled cities want crime
to run wild? To begin with? What is the ultimate
outcome of such behavior? Anyone with common sense should know
the posse Comma Titus Act of eighteen seventy eight aims
(23:39):
to separate military and civilian roles. You know, that's a
law that's supposed to prevent the un of the military
as a domestic police force. However, listen to me, this
is important. The Act does not cover the Navy or
(23:59):
the Marine Corps. Congress can authorize the use of the
military in certain circumstances, such as domestic violence and protection
of federal property. Most big cities in the United States
are run by Democrats. They're crime written, which makes them
(24:20):
unsafe for many law abiding citizens. From my point of view, tryme.
Running a rampant in many big Democrat controlled cities requires
action to quell domestic violence. And anyone who denies this
is obviously unaware of the high crime rates in cities
(24:44):
or just doesn't care if inis and people get hurt.
They just don't care if phinic and people are harmed
by the criminal activity. And we all know that these
big cities like Chicago and elsewhere, prime is rapid. They arrested,
(25:04):
they appear before judge, they're released without any any provisions
for bail, so they just go free. Okay, So it's
a big problem, right especially in those communities where they
release criminals without posting bail. It's a problem, and the
(25:27):
fight against criminal gangs has already reached the breaking point.
Don't You don't need me to tell you that you
should be aware of that at this point. No matter
what hardcore left wing Democrats espouse these days shows they
have absolutely no concern none whatsoever for the communities they're
(25:51):
elected to serve. Naturally, for the most part, and this
is important, the anti American liberal news media isn't is
strinded in the welfare of people living in such communities.
That's the problem. In a nutshell, Ladies and gentlemen, crime
(26:15):
has to be crushed and dealt with and cannot be
allowed to keep growing out of control. As a nation,
we Americans can no longer tolerate lawlessness either, And for
big city Democrat mayors to sit back and effectively tolerate
lawlessness means the criminal element of many big cities is
(26:39):
more powerful than the elected authority of the mayor and
the law and order that community. If it isn't stopped,
it will just continue to grow and move into more
and more neighborhoods, from which all will become easy prey.
For criminals. But then, as many see on television, all
(27:04):
these low level Democrat judges issuing rulings to override the
authority of a duly elected president such as Donald Trump,
is in itself a privacy of justice. America is supposed
to be the land of opportunity, where people, through education
(27:27):
and initiative, can escape the bonds of crime coupled with poverty.
Trump is right at all these low level democrat judges
should not be allowed to interfere with President Trump's initiative
to clean up America's inner cities and allow safety return
(27:51):
to inner city neighborhoods. It's also time for Congress to
act and start working with President Trump's design to make
American cities a safe place to live and to raise
a family. Failure to clean up the judicial left wing
judges provides no decent future for we Americans and our posterity.
(28:17):
And that's the whole object of the exercise. I don't
know whether that's going to end, but I'll tell you,
ladies and gentlemen, We've got to reach a point in
this country where we establish law and order for once
and for all. And that's just the way it has
to be. And If it isn't that way, then we're
(28:40):
all going to verish, hiding under our beds at night.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Right.
Speaker 13 (28:45):
We'll be back with more right after this.

shrink age or losses cause by a market downturn. The
market goes down, your money stays put. When the market
comes back, you don't have to make up for any
loss ground. The plans accumulate over time, they're available for withdrawals,
and they do all the things a net EIG is
supposed to do, and that is to accumulate your earnings
(32:36):

Good morning everybody.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
This is that's the bottom line. I'm your host, Jeff
Lewis of ass Growth Associates along with Jeane Valerani. Thanks
for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed your long weekend last week,
because well it's over now. Speaking for myself, I had
a great time reealed some burgers, wait some cards, all
the while totally oblivious to the fact that our great
(02:45):
President Donald J.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Trump, tragically.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
I can't even remember myself to say it for me,
the grief ist t in. I just don't know how
we go on from here as a country. I suppose
it now falls to JD. Vance to take the helm
(03:10):
and make America great yeh wait, what's that?
Speaker 8 (03:32):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Seriously, this has to be one of the most idiotic
pieces of garbage that ever hit the internet, which is
saying plenty, and yet somehow this is all people have
been talking about all week. Trump, over a long weekend
Labor Day weekend, for crying out loud, doesn't do a
public appearance for two days, and over a million lived
(03:53):
cards decide that man must be dead. I shouldn't even
have to mention the double standard and play here by
media that literally spent four years covering up for a
president whose job performance was best described as doa Last year,
the American people collectively agreed, whether a Republican or Democrat,
(04:14):
that the Biden presidency needed to do not resuscipate order.
That's why Democrats forced him off the ballot last summer
and why voters returned Donald Trump to office, and the
media led the charge in this cover up, telling you that, oh,
he's just fine as president mind had wandered aimlessly off
into the jungle. Yet even in the wake of an
(04:36):
obvious hoax, liberal media stooges are still trying to sell
that there's some major medical issue with Trump.
Speaker 9 (04:44):
And you know, when you have health issues. They tend
to crop up and you can hide them for so long.
And now that his whole hands and everything is nothing
but makeup, so you can't see all of the spotches.
And of course we've been treated and trying to hide
his ankles because his ankles are not as big as
Jack fucking head.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It seems that James Carville is missing his own diagnosis,
Trump arrangement syndrome, which, as it turns out, is more
contagious than COVID was ever imagined to be. Just listen
to these two late night clowns. The word comedian would
be too generous.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Donald Trump will never die, forget it. He's like Dracula.
Speaker 10 (05:25):
He's gonna keep sucking the life out of us forever.
Speaker 11 (05:27):
The biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether
Donald Trump had died. For the record, Donald Trump is
very much alive, okay, and.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
No now correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't
recall in the history of any network a show being
aired where people outright celebrated the idea of a president dying.
It turned out that Colbert's case of trump domands At
syndrome is terminal. I mean the show itself is already dead.
(06:00):
But that's how sick these people are. Check out these
comments from Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas, the Democratic VP nominee
who need I remind you was only a few states
shy of being an alcoholic away from the presidency, because look,
I get it.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
through things.
Speaker 12 (06:18):
And although I will say this, the last few days
you woke up thinking there might be news, just saying
just saying.
Speaker 8 (06:28):
There will be news.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
Are you saying something I don't know, Governor, Because I mean,
given the fact that the person you're talking about had
two legitimate attempts on his life last year, are you
sure it's a good idea to be running your mouth
about this kind of advanced knowledge. The staff part is
Walls didn't even stop there, as if those comments had known.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Aren't enough to warrant a visit for the Secret Service.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Let's stand up and let's don't let them take our
kindness as weakness.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
We can be kind and still kick the living out
of them.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
You could do both.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Those saying wait, you can do both.
Speaker 7 (07:06):
I guess I misinterpreted that bee kind bit. I'm getting
the feeling that Tim Walls doesn't have a very strong
mastery of the English vocabulary, or maybe you know, he's
just channeling his inner Joe Pesci.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
You know, do I have to kill you?
Speaker 13 (07:22):
What if I was just to kick the ever love
and Natty?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Okay, Okay.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
So I get that an imbecile like Tim Walls might
take things too far, but it's kind of scary to
me just how serious people look this. It goes to
show the power of disinformation. And while I don't believe
in some kind of ministry of truth that the thought
police within the Biden administration tried to push on all
of us, it does illustrate how ridiculous a lie looks
(07:49):
when put right next to the truth. Here's Peter Doosey
at Fox News asking the President about this on Tuesday.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
It'll be different, but.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
About a big viral social media trend over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
How did you find out over the weekend that you
were dead?
Speaker 14 (08:05):
You see that?
Speaker 7 (08:05):
No, people didn't see it for a couple of days,
one point three million user engagements as of Saturday morning
about your demise. Really, yeah, sure, he didn't see it.
He sees everything that's reported about him. He said that
because it simply doesn't matter, So enough of this democratic
death porn fetish. It's clear that when you compare the
(08:28):
two parties, one is focused on making America better, while
the other simply tries to run interference in any way possible,
distracting us from the issues that really do matter.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
By the way, what was the real news that day?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Turns out we blew a Venezuelan drug boat straight the hell,
along with the eleven Trende Aragua members on board. It's
yet another massive shift in policy from the Trump administration.
But we didn't talk about it, did we. That's our
real topline story today. But instead I live with this
other crack just to show how easy it is to
(09:06):
get sucked in by the sensationalism that feels our airways.
So stay focused, people. We'll talk more about this soon.
But here's Secretary Rubo explaining the administration's new outlook.
Speaker 15 (09:17):
Interdiction doesn't work because these drug cartels. What they do
is they know they're going to lose, you know, two percent.
Speaker 8 (09:22):
Of their cargo.
Speaker 15 (09:23):
They bake it into their economics. What will stop them
is when you blow them up, when you get rid
of them. So they were designated as what they are.
They are narco terrorist organizations, and instead of interdicting it
on the president's orders, he blew it up and.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
It'll happen again.
Speaker 15 (09:40):
Maybe it's happening right now.
Speaker 8 (09:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 15 (09:41):
But the point is the way the president of the
United States is going to wage war are narco terrorist organizations.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
This is such a dramatic shift in our domestic policy
that if this serves a full show next week, we'll
talk more about this along with any further developments.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
So stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
We're just trying to turn an applement to what time.
Speaker 14 (13:42):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 17 (13:49):
When we're back with that's the bottom line, I'm Jeff Lewis.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
Last week we aired part of our conversation about redistricting
with Congressman Randy Webber. You can listen to the full
interview by searching for Save my Retirement Radio, but today
will air a sample of the additional topics we covered.
Here's an excerpt of our discussion about the previous administration.
(14:38):
Why isn't hasn't there been yet a Congressional hearing on
why this incompetent fool was allowed to remain in office
without invoking to twenty fifth Amendment when we knew for
a fact in year one this guy had lost his marbles.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Well, you know this, and the cabinet has to invoke
the twenty fifth Amendment.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
That's part of the reason exactly. But Congress has oversight
on this. I mean, this is something we could be
looking into.
Speaker 18 (15:04):
Well, you try to try to get democratic cabinet to
kick their boss out. Uh, it was said even Brendan
and I said, you know, we watched Jill Biden just
kind of guide him by the elbow and American public
I know he called the elbow. Okay, yeah, I had
to see it. I understand, I understand. And so but
(15:27):
the thing I want to get to if you bring
up a good question by bringing this up, and that
is there had to be some illegality, some criminal acts there.
When somebody called it an auto pen call it whatever
you want to. When they usurped the president's power and
they signed something without his knowledge, that's forgery. Yeah, why
And there's some people going and you know they're trying
(15:49):
to get to the bottom of that. Jamie right now
is trying to get to the bottom of that.
Speaker 7 (15:52):
We also talked at linked about tariffs and other financial matters.
So it looks to me like production and the inflation
is actually hitting the producer, not the consumer. That the
corporations are actually eating some of the costs rather than
passing them on, which was the conventional wisdom.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Right, And that's exactly right.
Speaker 18 (16:13):
But the president and again I go back to Reagan,
I use that term, you know, waste, fraud, and abuse.
We've watched our depths to grow to what thirty six
trillion dollars.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
I lost, count I ran, oh.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I hear you. But here's the point.
Speaker 18 (16:28):
Our friends across the sea are adversaries across the sea.
They were all taking advantage of us, whether it was
stuff from China coming in, stuff from Japan, or the
stuff from wherever it might be, Europeinian Union, you can
just name in the countries they were taking advantage of us.
And finally Trump says, look, we've got to change this.
Tariffs are hurting a lot of these companies that do
(16:50):
business overseas that much. I know for sure. I'm hoping
that we can hold on. We can get this to
a level playing field.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
And then that's the key.
Speaker 18 (16:59):
That is absolutely the key drums on the right track.
It's just we're going to hold on, hold out and
make sure that we can weather this storm if you
want to, and America will be better for it.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
And on that note, I mean when I mentioned that,
you know, it's corporations that are eating some of the
costs here, I didn't say that they were domestic corporations. Obviously,
these are foreign based entities that have been making obscene
profits for many, many years off the American dime.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Now, some of them may be have international business and
be based in America for one those part. But for
the most part, these are foreign entities that are coming
in and taking advantage of, like you said, an unequal
playing field. Because I mean, for those of us that
grew up as free traders, Okay, one of the assumptions
that free trade was fair trade. Role that is not
the case because we have barriers to entry on every
(17:48):
other continent on the globe.
Speaker 18 (17:49):
That's right, Well, that's not fair. And you know this
happens in medication too, you know. Yeah, Americans pay a
lot of higher prices than the favored nations at US.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Yeah, we pay for like five continents worth the trucks here.
Speaker 8 (18:03):
And why is that we've been taken advantage of.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
Chause we're supposed to for what we're supposed to get
all the costs of work.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Yeah, way too long, I know, I know, I know. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:12):
I mean, whether explore, you know, medication, or you know,
whatever it is. I mean, we've always assumed, because we
are the richest nation that God has ever seen fit
the bless that it's okay for us to bleed all
the costs here. But The thing is is that we're
not actually paying for it. We're borrowing from other countries
to pay for it. And that's not the same thing.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
That's got the stuff. And you can bring them a
good example when you talk about it like that.
Speaker 18 (18:39):
I will tell you this, the fact that Trump has
now said right that we're not going to do it
dislike that with those countries anymore. No more, they're not
gonna be able to take advantage of us. He's going
to fix the drug problem. He's done. Look at all
the things he's done with taxes, no tax on social curery,
no tax on tips, no tax on automobiles. I want
(18:59):
to ask you about that actually on the entrance, absolutely,
you bet, quick question on that.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
So big beautiful bill passes.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Instead of no taxes on tips, what we end up
was a compromise because it went through reconciliation. As you
know that, we end up with a six thousand dollars
tax credit on the ether side, which by the way,
came from the Senate. Okay, y'all were at four Okay,
so six thousand dollars tax credit for each senior over
sixty five, so ver sixty five and over. So now
(19:26):
that said Since then, the President has come up with
the idea of still passing separately a no tax on
Social Security. So do you see that having any traction?
Is this something that the Democrats are going to actually
be forced to go along with? If they have any
hope of getting ten percent of the senior vote, you
would think that they would fill that person undo.
Speaker 18 (19:48):
But I'll tell you what, I don't know many Democrats
that think with their breath, you know what I'm saying.
You would think that they could because this means good
things for Americans, it means good things for seniors.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
You would think they to go along with.
Speaker 18 (20:00):
Boy, I tell you what I've observed in my in
my thirteen years, that is, they told that party line man,
when Nancy Pelosi said something, they jump.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
When King Jeffrey said something, they jump. And they paid
dearly at the polls.
Speaker 18 (20:15):
And we'll see in the next midterms if they're gonna
be paying attention saying you know what, we can't keep
following this crazy regime.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
We'll see.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Well, you gave me a perfect segue when you brought
up Nancy Pelosi, because she has been the criticism or
the subject of criticism for a lot of her financial
activities while in Congress. And I don't mean to kick
over Canterbarne. So I'm sure you have many colleagues that
might take umbrage to this, And obviously I don't cry
anyone's personal finances other than my clients. But that said,
(20:49):
I would love to hire her husband because that dude
pulls in more a higher rateed return than I ever
dreamed possible.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
Do you have a homer?
Speaker 7 (20:59):
I mean that's I mean, you know, if you get
if you look at the numbers on that, he's achieved
something that is literally impossible to do. Quite frankly, I mean,
you know, for those of us that sit in here
and look at numbers for a living, Okay, that doesn't exist. Okay,
(21:19):
he's pulled in what seventy percent on a bad year.
Come on, y'all. I mean, something is not right, you know.
Speaker 8 (21:28):
You know in police work they call that a clue.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Yeah, well, in other places they call it an indictment.
Speaker 7 (21:34):
We want to thank Congressman Weather and his lovely wife
Brenda for coming into our office and also to his
staff for the wonderful day we had together. Uh we
hope to do that again sometime real soon when we
come back, We'll have Geene val Rani here with this
week's thirty little Secret.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
Stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
We're just trying to turn a nekel into a dive.
Speaker 10 (21:55):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 16 (22:01):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 13 (22:08):
Welcome back. This is Jeane Vallerati with this week's dirty
little Secret. Another week and another low level Democrat judge
issues an order against President Trump from sending the National
Guard into California, while the mayor of Chicago defies the
(22:30):
President to send troops into that crime ridden city. What
we have here are two low level local Democrat judges
and big city Democrat mayors interfering with law and order.
And the reaction of these low level Democrat judges and
(22:53):
mayors to interfere with President Trump's authority to use the
National Guard to help border in crime ridden cities. Well,
ladies and gentlemen, I think it's just a step too far.
The first question to arise in my mind is why
(23:13):
do so many of these Democrat controlled cities want crime
to run wild? To begin with? What is the ultimate
outcome of such behavior? Anyone with common sense should know
the posse Comma Titus Act of eighteen seventy eight aims
(23:39):
to separate military and civilian roles. You know, that's a
law that's supposed to prevent the un of the military
as a domestic police force. However, listen to me, this
is important. The Act does not cover the Navy or
(23:59):
the Marine Corps. Congress can authorize the use of the
military in certain circumstances, such as domestic violence and protection
of federal property. Most big cities in the United States
are run by Democrats. They're crime written, which makes them
(24:20):
unsafe for many law abiding citizens. From my point of view, tryme.
Running a rampant in many big Democrat controlled cities requires
action to quell domestic violence. And anyone who denies this
is obviously unaware of the high crime rates in cities
(24:44):
or just doesn't care if inis and people get hurt.
They just don't care if phinic and people are harmed
by the criminal activity. And we all know that these
big cities like Chicago and elsewhere, prime is rapid. They arrested,
(25:04):
they appear before judge, they're released without any any provisions
for bail, so they just go free. Okay, So it's
a big problem, right especially in those communities where they
release criminals without posting bail. It's a problem, and the
(25:27):
fight against criminal gangs has already reached the breaking point.
Don't You don't need me to tell you that you
should be aware of that at this point. No matter
what hardcore left wing Democrats espouse these days shows they
have absolutely no concern none whatsoever for the communities they're
(25:51):
elected to serve. Naturally, for the most part, and this
is important, the anti American liberal news media isn't is
strinded in the welfare of people living in such communities.
That's the problem. In a nutshell, Ladies and gentlemen, crime
(26:15):
has to be crushed and dealt with and cannot be
allowed to keep growing out of control. As a nation,
we Americans can no longer tolerate lawlessness either, And for
big city Democrat mayors to sit back and effectively tolerate
lawlessness means the criminal element of many big cities is
(26:39):
more powerful than the elected authority of the mayor and
the law and order that community. If it isn't stopped,
it will just continue to grow and move into more
and more neighborhoods, from which all will become easy prey.
For criminals. But then, as many see on television, all
(27:04):
these low level Democrat judges issuing rulings to override the
authority of a duly elected president such as Donald Trump,
is in itself a privacy of justice. America is supposed
to be the land of opportunity, where people, through education
(27:27):
and initiative, can escape the bonds of crime coupled with poverty.
Trump is right at all these low level democrat judges
should not be allowed to interfere with President Trump's initiative
to clean up America's inner cities and allow safety return
(27:51):
to inner city neighborhoods. It's also time for Congress to
act and start working with President Trump's design to make
American cities a safe place to live and to raise
a family. Failure to clean up the judicial left wing
judges provides no decent future for we Americans and our posterity.
(28:17):
And that's the whole object of the exercise. I don't
know whether that's going to end, but I'll tell you,
ladies and gentlemen, We've got to reach a point in
this country where we establish law and order for once
and for all. And that's just the way it has
to be. And If it isn't that way, then we're
(28:40):
all going to verish, hiding under our beds at night.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Right.
