Speaker 2 (01:29):
We're just trying to turn an ecchell into a time.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Welcome to real, honest talk about money, politics, use and
information you can actually use.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Buckle up and hold on tight.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This is that's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (01:57):
The best thing life upy. But you can get them
to the bath and be.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Marking everybody this is. That's the bottom line. I'm your host,
Jimmy Kimmel. I'm sorry, uh, Jeff Lewis of Asset Growth
Associates along with Jean VALERAINI, thanks for spending part of
your weekend with us. Our top line story this week
is again political violence. So excuse my confusion a moment ago.
(02:36):
Sorry for a moment there, I thought we were all
Jimmy Kimmel, you know, the latest political martyr.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I mean, just ask him, Jimmy said on air he
didn't want to make it about him or anything, but
he's clearly the victim here.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Just listen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So I get many ugly and scary threats against my life.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Wow, well that's unfortunate, and if that's true, some people
need to be in jail. Don't they If it's true.
It's not like Jimmy's got a history of line or anything.
I mean, he's clearly trying to come clean on this
first knot back after being suspended.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group
for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply
disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point
I was trying to make. But I understand that to
some that felt either ill timed or unclear, or maybe both.
And for those who think I did point a finger,
I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed,
(03:43):
there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.
I have many friends and family members on the other
side who I love and remain close to, even though
we don't agree on politics at all. I don't think
the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was
a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and
it isn't.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Oh that's nice. I'm glad he gets why we're upset.
There's no apology in there, but at least he gets
why we're upset. Just as an fy, guys, don't try
that one on your wife. So amid his I'll call
them fake tears, but I don't think he managed to
squeeze one out when he scrunched up his face there
(04:25):
for a few seconds. Let's call it a moment of understanding.
So amid his moment of understanding, Jimmy Kimmel wants to
be clear that he never meant to blame anyone, that
the shooter didn't represent anyone that didn't happen. He was
just unclear. Let's go back and review what he actually said.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
He hits some new lows over the weekend, with the
Maggie Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and
everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
No, I think that's pretty clear. Actually, Jimmy Kimmel obviously
asserts that the killer was part of MAGA. We think
you were pointing fingers because you did, and you did
it based on bad information. It wasn't even a poor
attempt at a joke. He was laying the background for
a completely different punchline. This was a deliberate attempt at
(05:20):
misinformation designed to formulate opinion with a national audience. In
addition to not apologizing, Kimball's trying to play the victim here.
So let me be frank, Jimmy Kimmel. You're not a victim.
You're a liar. You're trying to salvage your career what's
left of it, and trying to frame your suspension as
(05:42):
a coercive act by the Trump administration because you clearly
think that's the only thing that will save you, and
it probably is. In reality, the decision to suspend Kimmel
was made by Disney executives when Kimball told them that
he would double down on his comments the following night Right.
It was network distributors companies like Nextstar and Sinclair that
(06:05):
refused to air Kimmel going forward because it's their advertising
dollars at stake, not Disney's. It didn't take the Trump
administration to get involved. Now. I'm of the opinion that
what Kimmell said was stupid, bus fell short of condoning violence.
I don't think he should lose this show for what
he said. I think that's a market decision, and I
(06:26):
think the market has already spoken. Maybe Disney thinks this
event and the sympathy for Kimmel that the left has
tried to generate. Maybe that will save the show, maybe not.
But I do agree with those on the left and
right who maintained that this is a free speech issue
and not something we want the federal government regulating. I
(06:47):
thought FCC Chair Brendan Carr towed the line, if not
outright crossing it when he made these remarks on The
Beni Show last week.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
But Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, look,
we can do this the easy way, the hard way.
These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action.
Frankly on Kimmel or you know, there's gonna be additional
work for the FCC ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I mean, it's not an outright friend.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Is it.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I'm gonna make them an offer again a few We
don't need the federal government to be playing godfather and
our own. Senator Cruz made a great point on this
theme on his Verdict podcast last week.
Speaker 11 (07:26):
And I got to say, that's right out of good fellows,
that that that that that that's right out of a
mafioso coming into a bar going nice bye, you have here.
It'd be a shame of something happened to it.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Okay, So the Senator is clearly not Italian. But let's
keep going.
Speaker 11 (07:40):
If the government gets in the business of saying we
don't can't say what you the media have said, we're
going to ban you from the airwaves if you don't
say what we like, that will end up bad for conservatives.
It reminds me of you and I are both fans
of the Lord of the Rings Jarr R.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Tolkien.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I am Senator.
Poppa Day was on Monday. Actually September twenty second is
Bilbo and Frodo Baggins's birthday. I can nerd out with
you on this for the entire show if you want,
Oh sorry, go ahead, master, same rises listening.
Speaker 11 (08:16):
It reminds me of like the ring of power, and
it is so attractive. It's sort of like conservatives saying, wait, wait,
if we have government, we have power, we can ban
the media. Let me tell you what will happen going
down this road. There will come a time when a
Democrat wins again, wins the White House, they will get
(08:38):
rid of every Democrats see me speak.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
If it's a conservative, they'll get rid of every podcast.
Speaker 11 (08:41):
They'll get rid of it. They will silence us, They
will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Exactly correct, you see, folks, The whole story is based
on the premise that the One Ring, crafted by the
dark Lord saw On, could only be wielded properly by
saurro On themselves. It was an immense power, and it
would have allowed Saron to dominate all other life, But
anyone else that tried to use it would eventually be
corrupted and overcome by the power of the One Ring,
(09:11):
enabling Sauron to control the user. In other words, some
power is inherently too evil for good people to use.
Government is like that for Republicans. We don't have the
will to dominate those around us. It's not in our nature.
Its conservatives, because we believe in limited government. Liberals and
(09:32):
progressive Democrats have no such misgivings, and trust me, we
will be absolutely crushed once power returns into the wrong hands,
which inevitably will. So then what are we to do
with the time that is given us.
Speaker 12 (09:46):
You have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's on the more, when we return back up this,
we're just trying to turn ankel into a die.
Speaker 3 (10:00):

Speaker 6 (13:32):
We're just trying to turn an apple into what time.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's the bottom line from the.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
Can't even.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
The word boubeat.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We're back with that's the bottom line. I'm Jeff Lewis.
We're going to pick back up with our conversation about
political violence in a moment, but I first want to
address some fresh economic data that came out late this week.
Before we went to break, I referenced the one ring
and how its power can't be wielded by us, only destroyed.
(14:29):
I want to continue with this analogy for a moment
because one of the most destructive institutions out there, one
of the lesser rings, if you will, is that of
the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve artificially limits growth when
its board feels that the economy is growing too fast.
What an idiotic concept. Let me ask you investors out there,
(14:51):
does your portfolio ever grow too fast for you? I
didn't think so yet. That's the whole premise of higher
interest rates to increase the cost of capital. To limit investment,
the Fed sacrifices growth on the alterate inflation. That's necessary
when inflation is overly high see the Investipedia entry for
(15:12):
the Biden era. But when we're experiencing higher rates of
GDP growth, inflation naturally falls because there is more production
for the same amount of money to be spent. That's
why under the Biden administration, the Fed kept the rates
low for so long because there was very little economic growth.
The natural effect of less production coupled with low interest
(15:36):
rates beans inflation. There's more money to chase after fewer goods.
Larry Cudlow explains, when.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
You get to three or four percent growth from the
work of brilliant entrepreneurs, builders, oil people and factory hands
and people on the way up there has always led
the country. There will be no inflation because the growth
absorbs what money and prices is never inflation when you
(16:07):
have strong growth. I think mister Trump knows this intuitively.
It's one of the many reasons why he wants to
change government, especially the central Bank, and he.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Is right to do so. The Biden days are over,
and the Commerce Department on Thursday released yet another revision
of our second quarter GDP. It turns out, instead of
the three percent that the initially reported and the three
point three percent they revised it to two last month,
it's actually at a whopping three point eight percent, being
(16:42):
the Commerce Department was off by fully twenty five percent
on its initial estimate. Y'all, ever, notice how Biden's numbers
keep getting revised down while Trump's get revised up. I
thought you.
Speaker 14 (16:53):
Might no on the GDP side. This is our third
time around the block on Q two and we see
a really solid revision three point eight percent. I'm a
bit shocked, to be honest. Usually their visions as you
get to second and third become smaller and smaller.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
So what we need to learn from this is that
the Federal Reserve has been acting in contradiction to what
basic economics would tell you. With sound physical policy, they
should know that by reducing rates, they lift the cap
on economic growth. So why do they continue to leave
interest rates low for democratic administrations while keeping it artificially
(17:31):
high under Donald Trump. I'll leave that for you to decide.
But this goes back to our Lord of the Rings
analogy and evil power can only be wielded for the
benefit of evil. Now, speaking of evil, yet another fatal
shooting occurred Wednesday at an ICE facility in Dallas. A
sniper shot directly into the facility, killing two detainedees before
(17:54):
deterning a weapon on himself. Vice President J. D. Vance
spoke about it during a visit to North Carolina.
Speaker 15 (18:01):
But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, and
ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs enforcement facility was opened
fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a person
who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And there's
some evidence that we have that's not yet public, but
we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically
(18:22):
motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated
to go after people who are enforcing our border. And
I think that is the most disgusting.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I don't know what any of you expected in the
aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, but it was clear
from the reaction of the left that this sort of
political violence was going to continue. I guess no one
was listening to Hillary Clinton's call for unity this week
over on Morning Joe, we.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Have and I conclude myself, we have got to stop
demonizing each other.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Now, I think most of that right now in our
country's history is coming from the right, coming from people
who want to dominate.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Yeah. We could spend an entire segment breaking that one down,
from the outright falsehood to the sheer gall of the
woman to contradict herself literally in back to back sentences. Instead,
it's more important to look at where all the funding
and support for all this violence is coming from. It's
not right wingers shooting up these places or random agitators
(19:23):
attacking law enforcement. It's coming from somewhere. Steve Bannon explains
the where and the how.
Speaker 16 (19:31):
And this is why the media companies are making all
these nonsense about the antifund The investigator, Well, you know,
Intiva's just a bunch of kids running around. Yo, that's
on the surface, and they're not kids running around. They're
very well trained by military intelligence and national security operatives.
They're embedded in the deep state in your government. The
young woman that was a member of Antifund left on
(19:53):
Jesse Waters and they walked you through it how I
think it was in New York, up state New York.
She could training from military personnel. That's the second layers
of training there. And the third layer is the one
that's important. That's the mac Daddy. That is Sorah's and
it's Tides, and it's you know, all the interconnections of
the money and Act Blue and how the foreign money
comes in. Plus it's going to be a number of
(20:13):
these media operations.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
It's not demonizing anyone to tell one particular side to
stop shooting at us. It is, on the other hand,
demonizing someone to tell the whole world that there are
a bunch of Nazis and need to be stopped by
any means necessary because to a mentally unbalanced individual, of
which the Left does not have a shortage of supply,
(20:36):
that's a call to violent action. They know this and
they're doing it anyway. And Vice President Vance called them
out for.
Speaker 15 (20:44):
It, so you know what they said that Immigration Enforcement
had detained a five year old autistic girl in order
to get to that girl's father. Turned out that story
was a complete fabrication. It was a complete dishonest lie.
But when you go around and lie about our law
enforcement and you tell them that they're mistreating five year
(21:05):
old girls, what do you think is going to happen?
When Democratic politicians incur doxing, when they encourage us to
unmask ice enforcement officers. What do you think is going
to happen? When the mayor of Los Angeles encourages violent
protesters to get in the face of our law enforcement.
What do you think is going to happen. What's going
to happen is political violence, and political violence has gotten
(21:28):
out of control in this country.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
We got to stop it.
Speaker 15 (21:31):
We gotta condemn it, and that starts, unfortunately, at the
very top of the Democratic Party. If you want to
stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo.
If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your
supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi.
If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Jean vall Rani is us his take on all of this.
When we return, we're.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Josh trying to turn.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to your weekly report.
That's the bottom line that we bring to you every
Saturday morning at six a m. And then again on
Sunday mornings at eleven am on five sixty a m
k l v I. This is gene Vaalerati reporting. You know,
(22:33):
We've had a lot happen this past week, and I
guess it's sunk in pretty slowly, but it's it's gonna
be taken a while to really for people to really
agree with what has happened here now, what happens next
in the saga of the United States and all that
(22:54):
has happened in the past several weeks. I'm gonna tell
you right now, believe Charlie Kirk's assassination was a bell
weather moment heard throughout the land, and as far as
that goes, all over the world, there's little doubt Kirk's
murder was an event which sparked some sort of religious
(23:18):
conversion throughout the land and across the world. As far
as that goes, it's been reported a mere group of
four people turned up at his funeral last week to
protest the movement, so I think they were outnumbered. Mister
(23:39):
kirk initiated this movement and it is growing, Ladies and gentlemen,
A small cry from the hundreds of thousands who showed
up for his funeral. Was his assassination, and it was
a bell weather for a new spark of Christian religious awakening,
(24:02):
or perhaps something that will fade as quickly as it appeared.
I don't know. We just have to wait and see. Time,
of course, will tell the full story in the days
and weeks ahead. For one thing, the assassination of Charlie
Kirksing's to have set off an entire new chapter in
(24:22):
the heart and soul of Christianity and its recognition that
the Holy Spirit is moving among those Americans who have
awakened to the presence of the Almighty seeping back into
our lives and the lives of most Americans. When something
(24:43):
similar happened about two centuries ago in the United States,
it was called the Great Awakening, those moments in time
when suddenly all of mankind looks to Heaven for guidance. Well,
perhaps it's a harbinger of a new great awakening, or
(25:05):
the glimmer of God Almighty re entering the affairs of men.
I don't know. He's coming back to help all of
us turn from our sinful ways and enjoy the many
blessings He has bestowed upon his creation. How ironic was
it last Sunday when, according to news reports, there were
(25:29):
only five protesters at mister Kirk's funeral. Wow if they
if it just left the thought the thousands of protesters
are going to show up at that funeral, How very,
very wrong they were. They were at last Sunday's funeral
(25:49):
for Charlie Kirk. They were there to complain and make trouble.
But all that has happened in the past week and
has been indeed visited by the Spirit of God, the
Holy Spirit moving among mankind. What do you think, ladies
(26:10):
and gentlemen, Time will tell now. We can only hope
mister Kirk's assassination is not something for the Left and
their allies to cheer about, but rather become an eye
opening revelation from God himself. Time will certainly tell the tale.
(26:31):
In the meantime, we have to pay close attention to
the world around us and what the long term reactions
will be. As for the assassination, Who the assassin, I
should say, who murdered Charlie Kirk. He was twenty two
year old Tyler Robinson. He has decided his own fate.
(26:56):
As for Erica Kirk, Charlie's wife, as she said, she
forgives the assassin because it's what Christ did and it
is what Charlie would do. Nonetheless, this very young widow
now steps into the spotlight to carry out the work
(27:17):
her husband started. But there's still much more that lies
ahead for her. And when things like this that happened
to Charlie Kirk occur for a while, it sets an
organization like he built into a spin, and only with
guidance from above, well missus Kirk be able to pick
(27:39):
up the pieces and put them back together again. You
can bet, however, all of Charlie Kirk's enemies will be
trying to bring what he started down, you know that,
But others will be trying to hold it together. So
all we can do is say a prayer for his
young wife and hope the guidance of the good Lord
(28:02):
above brings her the strength she now needs to carry
out the work ahead. And that's the bottom line for
this week's Sunday morning. If it's in God's plan, it
will all come together for her one way or another.
And when bad things happen to good people, they need
(28:24):
all the support available to help get things back in
order once again. This indeed, has been a tragic event
that needs the hand of Almighty God to step in
and help this young widow carry out this new mission
now that she has undertaken. So there you have it,
(28:47):
ladies and gentlemen. This is where we are, and this
is another event in the history of the United States.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
We're just trying to turn a neckel in what time.
That's the bottom line.

For the decades that I have been telling you it's
time for a solution, I want you to know that
I'm not just speaking casually when I say it's time
for a solution. I'm going to give you a solution.
And the solution is that you're going to be able
to invest, retain, and accumulate money for future use. If
(32:19):
that's what you're willing to do. I know sometimes it's
hard to save money, but I also know that if
you have the will power, you can set a little
bit aside a little to time, and you'll be amazed
at how much it grows. And for the last three
decades or so, you've heard me say every Saturday and
(32:40):
Sunday morning, providing you with investment solutions. Right, you've heard
me do it constantly. So obviously by now you would
be correct to believe when we offer an investment solution,
it must be working well for all of our clients
because they love these plans. There's money to be made
(33:03):
with guarantees of no losses and which also can provide
our clients with long term financial security. What's nice about
these plans is that once you deposit money, it earns
returns which remain exempt from losses, and when the market
has a downturn, you keep all your money. Your account
(33:26):
keeps every penny it earns until you begin the process
of liquidating funds. Not every investment can say that. For you, folks,
these plans can earn market linked returns and they can
also provide fixed interest compounding. You know, there's nothing new
(33:47):
or strange about these plans, and we find our clients
are very very happy with their returns. And once accumulated
and you want, you can begin taking monthly payout, liquidating
the full amount, or as many choose, leave the money
in the account and take withdrawals while your funds remain
(34:11):
secure for market losses. That's a good deal, isn't it.
When the market is down, you don't lose any money.
If you're in one of these principal protection accounts, you
keep all your money to listen to me. These accounts
are issued through large financial institutions that offer many payout systems,
(34:32):
monthly income, annual income, or left for name to beneficiaries.
Everyone knows the stock market both gives and takes away,
but our clients and Principal Protection simply see the money
accumulate and money is not lost during a market crash.
(34:54):
How about that? Do you know that the money's there
when you need it? Trust me? Nothing wrong with that,
So listen to me. Take the time to contact us
at Asset Growth Associates simply by dialing four oh nine
eight four oh sixty nine one hundred or toll free
(35:16):

or simply drop us a note online by logging on

for use when you want to take a withdrawal. Now
listen to me. There's no perfect plan, but if growth,
(35:38):
growing and protecting a nest eggs, if that's what you're planning,
then you need to call us at Asset Growth Associates
and allow us to share the ideas with you that
have helped thousands of our clients over the decades. At
Asset Growth Associates, we've been helping our clients build nest
eggs for over fifty years now. As we've all heard

the first step. Why don't you take that first step
this week by calling us four O nine eight four
sixty nine hundred. You can come in learn more about

but we'll be glad to discuss it with you. And
(36:24):
if you choose to open an account, you will have
financial growth and security for you and your family's future.
Why not take the first step to securing a solid
financial security. Benjamin Franklin once said, a penny earned as
a penny, say well, he was certainly right about that,
wasn't he. He was right when he said it, and
(36:46):
he's still right centuries later. I assure you there's nothing
as encouraging as seeing your nest a grow. To learn
more about these plans, make sure you take the time
to plan you and your family's future. You can do

We're just trying to turn an ecchell into a time.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (01:41):

The best thing life upy. But you can get them
to the bath and be.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Marking everybody this is. That's the bottom line. I'm your host,
Jimmy Kimmel. I'm sorry, uh, Jeff Lewis of Asset Growth
Associates along with Jean VALERAINI, thanks for spending part of
your weekend with us. Our top line story this week
is again political violence. So excuse my confusion a moment ago.
(02:36):
Sorry for a moment there, I thought we were all
Jimmy Kimmel, you know, the latest political martyr.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Or so the Germans would have us believe.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I mean, just ask him, Jimmy said on air he
didn't want to make it about him or anything, but
he's clearly the victim here.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Just listen.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So I get many ugly and scary threats against my life.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Wow, well that's unfortunate, and if that's true, some people
need to be in jail. Don't they If it's true.
It's not like Jimmy's got a history of line or anything.
I mean, he's clearly trying to come clean on this
first knot back after being suspended.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group
for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply
disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point
I was trying to make. But I understand that to
some that felt either ill timed or unclear, or maybe both.
And for those who think I did point a finger,
I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed,
(03:43):
there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.
I have many friends and family members on the other
side who I love and remain close to, even though
we don't agree on politics at all. I don't think
the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was
a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and
it isn't.
Speaker 6 (04:04):
Oh that's nice. I'm glad he gets why we're upset.
There's no apology in there, but at least he gets
why we're upset. Just as an fy, guys, don't try
that one on your wife. So amid his I'll call
them fake tears, but I don't think he managed to
squeeze one out when he scrunched up his face there
(04:25):
for a few seconds. Let's call it a moment of understanding.
So amid his moment of understanding, Jimmy Kimmel wants to
be clear that he never meant to blame anyone, that
the shooter didn't represent anyone that didn't happen. He was
just unclear. Let's go back and review what he actually said.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
He hits some new lows over the weekend, with the
Maggie Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered
Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and
everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
No, I think that's pretty clear. Actually, Jimmy Kimmel obviously
asserts that the killer was part of MAGA. We think
you were pointing fingers because you did, and you did
it based on bad information. It wasn't even a poor
attempt at a joke. He was laying the background for
a completely different punchline. This was a deliberate attempt at
(05:20):
misinformation designed to formulate opinion with a national audience. In
addition to not apologizing, Kimball's trying to play the victim here.
So let me be frank, Jimmy Kimmel. You're not a victim.
You're a liar. You're trying to salvage your career what's
left of it, and trying to frame your suspension as
(05:42):
a coercive act by the Trump administration because you clearly
think that's the only thing that will save you, and
it probably is. In reality, the decision to suspend Kimmel
was made by Disney executives when Kimball told them that
he would double down on his comments the following night Right.
It was network distributors companies like Nextstar and Sinclair that
(06:05):
refused to air Kimmel going forward because it's their advertising
dollars at stake, not Disney's. It didn't take the Trump
administration to get involved. Now. I'm of the opinion that
what Kimmell said was stupid, bus fell short of condoning violence.
I don't think he should lose this show for what
he said. I think that's a market decision, and I
(06:26):
think the market has already spoken. Maybe Disney thinks this
event and the sympathy for Kimmel that the left has
tried to generate. Maybe that will save the show, maybe not.
But I do agree with those on the left and
right who maintained that this is a free speech issue
and not something we want the federal government regulating. I
(06:47):
thought FCC Chair Brendan Carr towed the line, if not
outright crossing it when he made these remarks on The
Beni Show last week.
Speaker 9 (06:56):
But Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, look,
we can do this the easy way, the hard way.
These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action.
Frankly on Kimmel or you know, there's gonna be additional
work for the FCC ahead.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I mean, it's not an outright friend.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Is it.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
I'm gonna make them an offer again a few We
don't need the federal government to be playing godfather and
our own. Senator Cruz made a great point on this
theme on his Verdict podcast last week.
Speaker 11 (07:26):
And I got to say, that's right out of good fellows,
that that that that that that's right out of a
mafioso coming into a bar going nice bye, you have here.
It'd be a shame of something happened to it.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Okay, So the Senator is clearly not Italian. But let's
keep going.
Speaker 11 (07:40):
If the government gets in the business of saying we
don't can't say what you the media have said, we're
going to ban you from the airwaves if you don't
say what we like, that will end up bad for conservatives.
It reminds me of you and I are both fans
of the Lord of the Rings Jarr R.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Tolkien.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
Well, yes, as a matter of fact, I am Senator.
Poppa Day was on Monday. Actually September twenty second is
Bilbo and Frodo Baggins's birthday. I can nerd out with
you on this for the entire show if you want,
Oh sorry, go ahead, master, same rises listening.
Speaker 11 (08:16):
It reminds me of like the ring of power, and
it is so attractive. It's sort of like conservatives saying, wait, wait,
if we have government, we have power, we can ban
the media. Let me tell you what will happen going
down this road. There will come a time when a
Democrat wins again, wins the White House, they will get
(08:38):
rid of every Democrats see me speak.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
If it's a conservative, they'll get rid of every podcast.
Speaker 11 (08:41):
They'll get rid of it. They will silence us, They
will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Exactly correct, you see, folks, The whole story is based
on the premise that the One Ring, crafted by the
dark Lord saw On, could only be wielded properly by
saurro On themselves. It was an immense power, and it
would have allowed Saron to dominate all other life, But
anyone else that tried to use it would eventually be
corrupted and overcome by the power of the One Ring,
(09:11):
enabling Sauron to control the user. In other words, some
power is inherently too evil for good people to use.
Government is like that for Republicans. We don't have the
will to dominate those around us. It's not in our nature.
Its conservatives, because we believe in limited government. Liberals and
(09:32):
progressive Democrats have no such misgivings, and trust me, we
will be absolutely crushed once power returns into the wrong hands,
which inevitably will. So then what are we to do
with the time that is given us.
Speaker 12 (09:46):
You have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's on the more, when we return back up this,
we're just trying to turn ankel into a die.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's the bottom line.

principle and your rate of return if any, in the
hope that you will have a rate of return. With

only risking your rate of return. When you make money
in a principal protection account, you get to keep the money.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
We're just trying to turn an apple into what time.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's the bottom line from the.
Speaker 12 (13:52):
Can't even.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
The word boubeat.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
We're back with that's the bottom line. I'm Jeff Lewis.
We're going to pick back up with our conversation about
political violence in a moment, but I first want to
address some fresh economic data that came out late this week.
Before we went to break, I referenced the one ring
and how its power can't be wielded by us, only destroyed.
(14:29):
I want to continue with this analogy for a moment
because one of the most destructive institutions out there, one
of the lesser rings, if you will, is that of
the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve artificially limits growth when
its board feels that the economy is growing too fast.
What an idiotic concept. Let me ask you investors out there,
(14:51):
does your portfolio ever grow too fast for you? I
didn't think so yet. That's the whole premise of higher
interest rates to increase the cost of capital. To limit investment,
the Fed sacrifices growth on the alterate inflation. That's necessary
when inflation is overly high see the Investipedia entry for
(15:12):
the Biden era. But when we're experiencing higher rates of
GDP growth, inflation naturally falls because there is more production
for the same amount of money to be spent. That's
why under the Biden administration, the Fed kept the rates
low for so long because there was very little economic growth.
The natural effect of less production coupled with low interest
(15:36):
rates beans inflation. There's more money to chase after fewer goods.
Larry Cudlow explains, when.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
You get to three or four percent growth from the
work of brilliant entrepreneurs, builders, oil people and factory hands
and people on the way up there has always led
the country. There will be no inflation because the growth
absorbs what money and prices is never inflation when you
(16:07):
have strong growth. I think mister Trump knows this intuitively.
It's one of the many reasons why he wants to
change government, especially the central Bank, and he.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Is right to do so. The Biden days are over,
and the Commerce Department on Thursday released yet another revision
of our second quarter GDP. It turns out, instead of
the three percent that the initially reported and the three
point three percent they revised it to two last month,
it's actually at a whopping three point eight percent, being
(16:42):
the Commerce Department was off by fully twenty five percent
on its initial estimate. Y'all, ever, notice how Biden's numbers
keep getting revised down while Trump's get revised up. I
thought you.
Speaker 14 (16:53):
Might no on the GDP side. This is our third
time around the block on Q two and we see
a really solid revision three point eight percent. I'm a
bit shocked, to be honest. Usually their visions as you
get to second and third become smaller and smaller.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
So what we need to learn from this is that
the Federal Reserve has been acting in contradiction to what
basic economics would tell you. With sound physical policy, they
should know that by reducing rates, they lift the cap
on economic growth. So why do they continue to leave
interest rates low for democratic administrations while keeping it artificially
(17:31):
high under Donald Trump. I'll leave that for you to decide.
But this goes back to our Lord of the Rings
analogy and evil power can only be wielded for the
benefit of evil. Now, speaking of evil, yet another fatal
shooting occurred Wednesday at an ICE facility in Dallas. A
sniper shot directly into the facility, killing two detainedees before
(17:54):
deterning a weapon on himself. Vice President J. D. Vance
spoke about it during a visit to North Carolina.
Speaker 15 (18:01):
But what we know is that in Dallas, Texas, and
ICE facility and Immigrations and Customs enforcement facility was opened
fire upon by a violent left wing extremist, a person
who wrote anti ICE messaging on their bullets. And there's
some evidence that we have that's not yet public, but
we know this person was politically motivated. They were politically
(18:22):
motivated to go after law enforcement. They were politically motivated
to go after people who are enforcing our border. And
I think that is the most disgusting.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I don't know what any of you expected in the
aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, but it was clear
from the reaction of the left that this sort of
political violence was going to continue. I guess no one
was listening to Hillary Clinton's call for unity this week
over on Morning Joe, we.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Have and I conclude myself, we have got to stop
demonizing each other.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Now, I think most of that right now in our
country's history is coming from the right, coming from people
who want to dominate.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Yeah. We could spend an entire segment breaking that one down,
from the outright falsehood to the sheer gall of the
woman to contradict herself literally in back to back sentences. Instead,
it's more important to look at where all the funding
and support for all this violence is coming from. It's
not right wingers shooting up these places or random agitators
(19:23):
attacking law enforcement. It's coming from somewhere. Steve Bannon explains
the where and the how.
Speaker 16 (19:31):
And this is why the media companies are making all
these nonsense about the antifund The investigator, Well, you know,
Intiva's just a bunch of kids running around. Yo, that's
on the surface, and they're not kids running around. They're
very well trained by military intelligence and national security operatives.
They're embedded in the deep state in your government. The
young woman that was a member of Antifund left on
(19:53):
Jesse Waters and they walked you through it how I
think it was in New York, up state New York.
She could training from military personnel. That's the second layers
of training there. And the third layer is the one
that's important. That's the mac Daddy. That is Sorah's and
it's Tides, and it's you know, all the interconnections of
the money and Act Blue and how the foreign money
comes in. Plus it's going to be a number of
(20:13):
these media operations.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
It's not demonizing anyone to tell one particular side to
stop shooting at us. It is, on the other hand,
demonizing someone to tell the whole world that there are
a bunch of Nazis and need to be stopped by
any means necessary because to a mentally unbalanced individual, of
which the Left does not have a shortage of supply,
(20:36):
that's a call to violent action. They know this and
they're doing it anyway. And Vice President Vance called them
out for.
Speaker 15 (20:44):
It, so you know what they said that Immigration Enforcement
had detained a five year old autistic girl in order
to get to that girl's father. Turned out that story
was a complete fabrication. It was a complete dishonest lie.
But when you go around and lie about our law
enforcement and you tell them that they're mistreating five year
(21:05):
old girls, what do you think is going to happen?
When Democratic politicians incur doxing, when they encourage us to
unmask ice enforcement officers. What do you think is going
to happen? When the mayor of Los Angeles encourages violent
protesters to get in the face of our law enforcement.
What do you think is going to happen. What's going
to happen is political violence, and political violence has gotten
(21:28):
out of control in this country.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
We got to stop it.
Speaker 15 (21:31):
We gotta condemn it, and that starts, unfortunately, at the
very top of the Democratic Party. If you want to
stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo.
If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your
supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi.
If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Jean vall Rani is us his take on all of this.
When we return, we're.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Josh trying to turn.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening to your weekly report.
That's the bottom line that we bring to you every
Saturday morning at six a m. And then again on
Sunday mornings at eleven am on five sixty a m
k l v I. This is gene Vaalerati reporting. You know,
(22:33):
We've had a lot happen this past week, and I
guess it's sunk in pretty slowly, but it's it's gonna
be taken a while to really for people to really
agree with what has happened here now, what happens next
in the saga of the United States and all that
(22:54):
has happened in the past several weeks. I'm gonna tell
you right now, believe Charlie Kirk's assassination was a bell
weather moment heard throughout the land, and as far as
that goes, all over the world, there's little doubt Kirk's
murder was an event which sparked some sort of religious
(23:18):
conversion throughout the land and across the world. As far
as that goes, it's been reported a mere group of
four people turned up at his funeral last week to
protest the movement, so I think they were outnumbered. Mister
(23:39):
kirk initiated this movement and it is growing, Ladies and gentlemen,
A small cry from the hundreds of thousands who showed
up for his funeral. Was his assassination, and it was
a bell weather for a new spark of Christian religious awakening,
(24:02):
or perhaps something that will fade as quickly as it appeared.
I don't know. We just have to wait and see. Time,
of course, will tell the full story in the days
and weeks ahead. For one thing, the assassination of Charlie
Kirksing's to have set off an entire new chapter in
(24:22):
the heart and soul of Christianity and its recognition that
the Holy Spirit is moving among those Americans who have
awakened to the presence of the Almighty seeping back into
our lives and the lives of most Americans. When something
(24:43):
similar happened about two centuries ago in the United States,
it was called the Great Awakening, those moments in time
when suddenly all of mankind looks to Heaven for guidance. Well,
perhaps it's a harbinger of a new great awakening, or
(25:05):
the glimmer of God Almighty re entering the affairs of men.
I don't know. He's coming back to help all of
us turn from our sinful ways and enjoy the many
blessings He has bestowed upon his creation. How ironic was
it last Sunday when, according to news reports, there were
(25:29):
only five protesters at mister Kirk's funeral. Wow if they
if it just left the thought the thousands of protesters
are going to show up at that funeral, How very,
very wrong they were. They were at last Sunday's funeral
(25:49):
for Charlie Kirk. They were there to complain and make trouble.
But all that has happened in the past week and
has been indeed visited by the Spirit of God, the
Holy Spirit moving among mankind. What do you think, ladies
(26:10):
and gentlemen, Time will tell now. We can only hope
mister Kirk's assassination is not something for the Left and
their allies to cheer about, but rather become an eye
opening revelation from God himself. Time will certainly tell the tale.
(26:31):
In the meantime, we have to pay close attention to
the world around us and what the long term reactions
will be. As for the assassination, Who the assassin, I
should say, who murdered Charlie Kirk. He was twenty two
year old Tyler Robinson. He has decided his own fate.
(26:56):
As for Erica Kirk, Charlie's wife, as she said, she
forgives the assassin because it's what Christ did and it
is what Charlie would do. Nonetheless, this very young widow
now steps into the spotlight to carry out the work
(27:17):
her husband started. But there's still much more that lies
ahead for her. And when things like this that happened
to Charlie Kirk occur for a while, it sets an
organization like he built into a spin, and only with
guidance from above, well missus Kirk be able to pick
(27:39):
up the pieces and put them back together again. You
can bet, however, all of Charlie Kirk's enemies will be
trying to bring what he started down, you know that,
But others will be trying to hold it together. So
all we can do is say a prayer for his
young wife and hope the guidance of the good Lord
(28:02):
above brings her the strength she now needs to carry
out the work ahead. And that's the bottom line for
this week's Sunday morning. If it's in God's plan, it
will all come together for her one way or another.
And when bad things happen to good people, they need
(28:24):
all the support available to help get things back in
order once again. This indeed, has been a tragic event
that needs the hand of Almighty God to step in
and help this young widow carry out this new mission
now that she has undertaken. So there you have it,
(28:47):
ladies and gentlemen. This is where we are, and this
is another event in the history of the United States.
We'll be back with more right after this.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
We're just trying to turn a neckel in what time.
That's the bottom line.

We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. You're listening, So that's the
bottom line. You're a weekly broadcast on kl the I
that tells it like it is. And we also want
you to know that you can hear this program by
logging on to That's the bottom Line Radio Show, and
you can hear it there, or you could just log
(31:28):
on to h That's the bottom Line Radio Show, which
is our show, or or that's the bottom Line. You'll
find us out there somewhere in the in the world
of electronic nether world. I guess I don't know if
we reach a lot of people, and we're happy to
do it because we feel these are things that are
(31:51):
very important. Okay, so it's time for a solution.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Now.
Speaker 10 (31:54):
For the decades that I have been telling you it's
time for a solution, I want you to know that
I'm not just speaking casually when I say it's time
for a solution. I'm going to give you a solution.
And the solution is that you're going to be able
to invest, retain, and accumulate money for future use. If
(32:19):
that's what you're willing to do. I know sometimes it's
hard to save money, but I also know that if
you have the will power, you can set a little
bit aside a little to time, and you'll be amazed
at how much it grows. And for the last three
decades or so, you've heard me say every Saturday and
(32:40):
Sunday morning, providing you with investment solutions. Right, you've heard
me do it constantly. So obviously by now you would
be correct to believe when we offer an investment solution,
it must be working well for all of our clients
because they love these plans. There's money to be made
(33:03):
with guarantees of no losses and which also can provide
our clients with long term financial security. What's nice about
these plans is that once you deposit money, it earns
returns which remain exempt from losses, and when the market
has a downturn, you keep all your money. Your account
(33:26):
keeps every penny it earns until you begin the process
of liquidating funds. Not every investment can say that. For you, folks,
these plans can earn market linked returns and they can
also provide fixed interest compounding. You know, there's nothing new
(33:47):
or strange about these plans, and we find our clients
are very very happy with their returns. And once accumulated
and you want, you can begin taking monthly payout, liquidating
the full amount, or as many choose, leave the money
in the account and take withdrawals while your funds remain
(34:11):
secure for market losses. That's a good deal, isn't it.
When the market is down, you don't lose any money.
If you're in one of these principal protection accounts, you
keep all your money to listen to me. These accounts
are issued through large financial institutions that offer many payout systems,
(34:32):
monthly income, annual income, or left for name to beneficiaries.
Everyone knows the stock market both gives and takes away,
but our clients and Principal Protection simply see the money
accumulate and money is not lost during a market crash.
(34:54):
How about that? Do you know that the money's there
when you need it? Trust me? Nothing wrong with that,
So listen to me. Take the time to contact us
at Asset Growth Associates simply by dialing four oh nine

listen to me. There's no perfect plan, but if growth,
(35:38):
growing and protecting a nest eggs, if that's what you're planning,
then you need to call us at Asset Growth Associates
and allow us to share the ideas with you that
have helped thousands of our clients over the decades. At
Asset Growth Associates, we've been helping our clients build nest
eggs for over fifty years now. As we've all heard

the first step. Why don't you take that first step
this week by calling us four O nine eight four

but we'll be glad to discuss it with you. And

if you choose to open an account, you will have
financial growth and security for you and your family's future.
Why not take the first step to securing a solid
financial security. Benjamin Franklin once said, a penny earned as
a penny, say well, he was certainly right about that,
wasn't he. He was right when he said it, and
(36:46):
he's still right centuries later. I assure you there's nothing
as encouraging as seeing your nest a grow. To learn
more about these plans, make sure you take the time

(39:09):
paying higher taxes as you get older. Wouldn't you like
to pay no taxes at all on your retirement income?
Then maybe it's time to get prothesized by converting your
traditional ira into a roth ira, either all at once
or over time. You can pay taxes now instead of later.
(39:31):
Now While on Earth would you want to do that
because it makes more sense to pay taxes on the
seed rather than the crop. Roth irays let you harvest
your money tax free after it's grown tax deferred over
the years. Schedule an appointment with us. The seat of
a conversion makes sense for you, And if you're interested
(39:51):
in increasing your retirement income, come talk with this about
our covered call ETF strategy. These exchange traded funds based
I use off of underlying equity positions in big time
companies like Amazon and Apple. But even though these companies
don't usually pay dividends themselves, these funds do on a
monthly basis, generating dependable income whether or not you're already retired.

have to, so why not let your money work for you.

for a real estate purchase, or even to protect against
rising medical costs. Now, if you are close to retirement
(40:39):
and are more interested in keeping your money safe, you're
probably a good candidate for a principal protection strategy, or
you can get market lenked rates of return with zero
risk to your principle. We generally recommend these as at
least a portion of a diversified portfolio. This is why
people more than ever are choosing Asset Growth Associates. We've
