to cover this morning, so let's get started once again.
This is gene Beallerani reporting the news media is wasting
no time going after President elect Trump's incoming nominees. The
first to go was Matt Gates, who withdrew his nomination
(03:48):
to become trumpet Trump's attorney General, and they're also going
after Pete hegsett Trump's pick for US Secretary of Defense.
In Gates's case, it was over too much hanky panky
with the ladies. Hegseth, on the other hand, was in
the process of a divorce and speaking at a women's
(04:09):
GOP forum and allegedly had a one night stand with
an attendee, a married woman, after having too much to drink.
In excess defense, he was going through a divorce at
the time and was drunk, and the lady in question
allegedly who was escorting him to his room, and she
(04:31):
was inebriated as well, Well what are you going to do?
Right After sobering up, she sued him and then settled
for money. Of course, since both Gates and the headset
were Republicans, the media is just they drew out their swords.
(04:51):
The media report such incidents as almost being high crimes
and misdemeanors. Had they been Democrats, the media would have
ignored the incidents, or, as they did with Bill Clinton,
blamed the women for throwing themselves at powerful men. I'm
not defending bad behavior on either mister Gates or mister
(05:12):
Hegseeth's part. I'm just criticizing the media's double standard. In
former President Clinton's part, the media blamed the woman because,
as a lot of people say, women are attracted to
powerful men and as such throw virtue or modesty out
the window whenever they meet one. Of course, the latter
(05:34):
is not necessarily true, but we all know about human behavior,
and even King David, the Apple of God's Eye, had
an affair with bath Sheba, a married woman. As for
King David, he goes so far as having Bathsheba's husband Uriah,
a soldier sent into battle, where King David orders him
(05:56):
to be sent to the thickest part of the battle
and he is killed. Then there's the story of Samson
and Delilah, a man given enough strength by God to
slay a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey.
To maintain his extraordinary strength, God tells him to keep
(06:17):
his hair long and tell nobody where he his extra
ordinary strength comes from. But the beautiful Delallah lures him
into telling her his secret, and foolishly, after he does,
his head is shaven while he sleeps, and his strength
is gone. The Philistines even blind him, but he repents,
(06:39):
gets his strength back and pushes apart the pillars of
their temple to the false gods of the Philistines, causing
the temple to collapse and kill all inside. Well, the
lesson is to find a virtuous woman to love and marry,
and even more so, if you're a powerful man or
(06:59):
a high ranking politician, you gotta be careful right. Then again,
the Bible tells us the story of when the crowd
wanted the Stone the Prostitute to death and asked Jesus
about whether or not they should that he told the
crowd that he who is without sin cast the first stone,
(07:20):
and they all walked away. They walked away because they
were hypocrites. Jesus saved the prostitute, and he told her
to sin no more. So, I presume mister Hegsett and
mister Gates had had better if if they had better
control of their desires and the women in question didn't
(07:41):
put themselves in situations like those who allegedly were involved
with them, there wouldn't be a big scandal occurring right
now for the media to report about no one's perfect
in No matter who we are, their's temptation all around us,
and no one is exempt. Even Jesus was tempted, and
(08:02):
those temptations were much bigger than being succumbing to a
one night stand. Sooner or later, everything we do or
have done will come out, and no matter how many
people don't know, the good Lord above knows, and he's
(08:23):
the one we should do our best not to disappoint.
The world we live in is a vicious one full
of things that are tempting, and especially in our goals
are to be leaders, well, they have to be more
careful in any endeavor. We have to be put people
in office that are trustworthy and live up to the
(08:46):
higher standard. But we also have to remember to judge,
not lest we be judged. One thing's for sure, those
gossip reporters who try to destroy others and stone people
with stories that may not be true, they are they're
the ones that ought to be exposed, exposed that Jesus said,
(09:07):
he who is without sin, passed the first son. So
that's where we're beginning this morning's report. Since there's a
lot of controversy right now about who Trump is putting
into his cabinet. The news media is looking over those
folks with the fine tooth comb and uh, now Trump
(09:31):
is he Gates bowed out, but Pete Hegseth, he's Uh,
Trump's sticking with him. So that's that's where that is
right now as far as I know. Meantime, President Trump
has said that he's putting going to put big tariffs
(09:53):
on imports from both Mexico and Canada because of all
those foreign imports that are coming into the United States
and affecting workers in the United States. So that's that's
another thing that's coming down the pike. And listen, I
applaud him for that. In other words, his obligation is
(10:17):
to the people of the United States, and he's he's
going to live up to it, just like he's going
to seal that border. That's another big thing that's going
on right now. It's going to go on pretty early.
You know that there's going to be Democrat judges that
are going to try to fight him, and this whole
thing's gonna, you know, be a bone of contention, as
(10:37):
they say occasionally. But President Trump is coming into office
and he is not gonna waste it. He's not gonna
waste He's only got four years. He doesn't have that
first term he was in. He was new to politics,
and they got him. Boy, they were after him at
every turn, even as fellow Republicans, a lot of them were.
(11:00):
So that's it. It was Trump versus the professional politicians.
But I think he's a lot wiser this time around.
And by the way, they're throwing out all those charges
that they were they had against him going in. We'll
talk a little bit about that later, but that's that's
Occasionally things that don't don't really happen, and we now
(11:24):
see it, we see it playing out big and how vicious.
I mean, they wanted to put President Trump in prison
and lock him up, right, do you remember that? Wasn't
that a shock? And as it turns out, what they
were accusing him of was was things that really weren't
(11:46):
even crimes at all, and crimes that he didn't commit
and that others did. Okay, more after these important messages.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (12:01):

or more, don't call an unknown eight hundred number. Instead
personally meet with us to review your i RS problem.
And if you want to pay the i R S
nothing or less than you owe, we can set up
a fresh start agreement with the i R S. We

Speaker 2 (12:35):

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Pol we will.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
People can't even the free when the meat.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the
bottom line. Your weekly broadcast on k LVI broadcasting out
of Beaumont, Texas, five sixty A N and you're listening to.
That's the bottom line, your weekly radio report that tells
it like it is. And now we have more for you.
(13:30):
You know that the annual Thanksgiving holiday is behind us,
and next on the list will be Christmas. As my
dad used to say many years ago, by the time
Christmas Day arrives, for all intents and purposes, Christmas is over.
This is because our present society is the prelude to
(13:51):
Christmas that sets the season, not necessarily the day itself. Now,
the anticipation of Christmas becomes the event more than the
big day itself, which ends the season. You might as
well say, I know, next after Christmas comes New Year,
but that is an entirely different celebration, a different type
(14:16):
of celebration. In other words, the anticipation of Christmas itself
in some cases is bigger than the climax. Right. So
Christmas Day is the first day of the twelve days
of Christmas. It's the first day, not the last day
of Christmas. Did you ever think about that? In some
(14:38):
European countries, the gift giving is on the twelfth day
of Christmas, commemorating the arrival of the Three Wise Men
bearing their gifts of gold, frankencense and merder I mentioned
this today because Christmas has become as much of a
secular observance than a religious one. Having said all that,
(15:00):
I want to wish all listening to me this morning
at joyous and a very merry Christmas, because it's still
the happiest time of the year for most of us,
but not for all of us, especially for those who
have lost the family member or suffered some other loss,
maybe they lost their job or being away from their
(15:21):
families and friends. Having said all this, for most of
the Christian world, listen, Christmas is a big day in truth,
as far as ranking holidays go. In all of Christendom,
Easter is technically the real high holy day. That that's
(15:42):
because on Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Christ
from the dead. He died for all of us and
for the redemption of all mankind. It's more than colored
eggs at Easter and chocolate bunnies, and just like Christmas
is more than spending money for gifts. We all will
(16:03):
die someday, no way to get out of it, but
once again we will be resurrected with our bodies. Well,
some believe there is no afterlife, nor a resurrection of
the dead. Jesus said, blessed are they who have not
seen but yet believe. There must be something to it,
(16:24):
because many do believe, and in fact, there are more
Christians in the world than any other religion. Did you
realize that more Christians in the world than any other religions.
I know there are different sects of Christianity, but they
are all. There's more Christians than any other religion in
(16:45):
the world, so much so that many Christians have held
strong to their belief even when being put to death
for believing. What would any of us do if faced
with such a choice. Like all life, it begins with birth,
and we all are destined to die. So as I
(17:07):
used to say, tongue and cheap, none of us are
getting out of here alive. None of us are getting
out of here alive. And like one of my uncles
used to say, we all pass that date on the
caliber each year, and someday our number will come up.
He's write about that for many. For many, the Christmas
(17:30):
season really is the happiest time of the year. But
for others all they have left are their memories. Is
Christmas past? Right? Like the song and the lyrics, Why
can't every day be Christmas? Meaning, of course, finding the
same joy in our hearts as many do at Christmas time.
(17:51):
We sing songs of peace on Earth, But the missiles
and bombs are still raining down on other parts of
the world, in the Holy Land than in the Ukraine
and in Russia as well as an army of communist
Chinese regulars are now massing on the border of the
Ukraine to help the Russians take that country away from
(18:13):
the people who live in the Ukraine. Are we on
the eve of another World War? I'm asking that question
this morning, and I'm tying that in right as we
sing peace on Earth, goodwill to men. But right now,
with all that chaos that's going on, and now that
(18:33):
they're the Biden administration has decided to allow the Ukraine
people to send those missiles into Russia, and of course
Russia ours back. They cut off water lines going into
other parts of Europe. So now what we have is
(18:54):
a war that is getting getting worse. So that's why
I ask we on the eve of another World War?
Our incoming President Donald Trump claims he will end the
conflict between the Ukraine and Russia as soon as he
takes office. Hopefully he will be able to do that,
(19:14):
but January twentieth seems a long time away before Trump
resumes his presidency. Meantime, the Holy Land is anything but
Why these days with Israel defending its borders from Hamas
and Hezbelah, you know, its neighbors on both sides of
its borders, how far will that war go? Will it
(19:39):
be the war against Israel foretold in the Bible heralding
the second coming of Christ? If it is, will the
United States be involved and have missiles reigning down on
the United States? Answers yet to be given, and hopefully
not not gonna have happen. Right, Let there be peace
(20:02):
on earth, as the song lyrics go, and let it
begin with me. Those are the lyrics to an old hymn.
But peace on earth, the man is what the angels
were singing in the skies above Bethlehem a couple thousand
years ago, If anything, a night to remember, And I
wonder what kind of a night it really was. Imagine angels.
(20:28):
I'd picture angels singing up in the sky and you
look up and you see them. They're playing their hearts
and they're singing. What an event of what an event.
That must have been quite an event to see. And
then of course we have our Christmas trees, which are
a symbol of eternal life because they're evergreens. And they
(20:52):
had someone tell me one time that when Christmas is
over and they throw the old tree out, that's a
symbol of Christ because they did. When they put put
the old free out, then that means that you've discarded it,
just like they discarded Christ on Good Friday. Anyhow, we're
(21:14):
coming into the Christmas season and very excited about it,
and we hope everybody is prepared and you're ready to
have a good time and enjoy the coming season and
not be too concerned about other things that are occurring
in the world right now, although we have to be
and we've got to pay attention to that because if
(21:39):
it gets out of control, it's going to affect us.
I mean, we've been fighting wars for decades now and
it's time to Maybe we do need a little peace
on earth. Goodwill come in and I certainly hope so. Okay,
back after this.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.

my risk number? Dot com?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
We're just trying to turn a neckel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the
bottom line. Your weekly broadcast on k LBI. That tells
it like it is. Now sign for our dirty little secret.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has dismissed all the charges against
incoming against President Trump. Incoming President Trump, I should say,
(23:13):
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is packing his bags and leaving Washington, DC,
and there's nothing Judge Tanya Chunkin in the District of
Columbia can do about it. Manhattan Judge Juan Marshawn in
Manhattan is still dragging his feet, but a state court
(23:37):
cannot charge someone inside what should be a federal case,
so that trial was ill fated from the beginning. Actually
that was the case all along, but no one brought
it up, not even the judge. As of a few
days ago, hush Bunny payoff charges brought about by Stormy
(23:58):
Daniels is also on its way to the trashy. On
January twentieth, Donald J. Trump will take the oath of office,
becoming the forty seventh president of the United States. The
Democrats pushed those charges against Trump over his alleged affair
with Stormy Daniels, which mister Trump denies ever happened. Look
(24:21):
for that case also be tossed out. Incoming President Trump,
I guess, is living up to a new nickname of
the Teflondon Mister. Everything seems to slide right off. There
was a mafia chieftain that needs to call the Teflondon.
(24:41):
Mister Trump will easily slide into becoming president once again,
and I expect we will watch the next big chapter
in his life, and first off will be the deportation
of criminal illegals. Expect the corrupt news media to bel
hing pictures of crying children across the America's front pages,
(25:05):
which may not even be the case, since many of
the illegals being rounded up and being sent back to
their home countries are really vicious individuals known to be criminals,
many of whom are already in custody being awaiting deportion,
a deep deportation. What the Biden administration did was unnecessary
(25:30):
to import allow criminal aliens into the United States. He
opened the gates and they all came rushing in. All
of that will be ending soon, and the news media
will play it up as something unfair, trust me, that's
what they'll do. They'll want to try to bring pity
(25:51):
to those who came in illegally. But it's not going
to be unfair because they violated our immigration laws and
they have no right to be here to begin with.
They can visit, but then they have to go home.
There's certainly nothing wrong either with sending them back and
find out if they really are entitled to be treated
(26:13):
as refugees and live here. You know, though, probably they're
just going to be sending them back to Mexico, or
some of them back to Mexico and made to wait there.
The ones that are seeking asylum and to see if
they're eligible for asylum here in the United States. The
ones who came across the border and came differently than that,
(26:37):
they didn't seek asylum, Well, they're going back to their
home countries. Nonetheless, expect to see crying babies on the
nightly television news. You know, crying is being taken away
from their mothers and so on, so forth. Not everyone
has to go. They're going to start with the Trump says,
(26:57):
they're going to start with the really bad first. Beyond that,
Trump will have to begin rebuilding the border wall or
the parts of it that Biden sold for scrap metal
on the fence line. But it has to be done
if we Americans want to live in peace within our
own borders, or or you know what's wrong with wanting
(27:22):
to live in peace within our own borders. Tell me
what's wrong with that. Of course, Trump will get a
lot of flak from the Democrats for pushing law and order.
What so ironic. These people streaming into the United States
would have probably probably been able to cross the border
if they just came here legally. That's the arity they
(27:44):
would have applied to come here. Many of them would
have been allowed to come here. And this has nothing
to do with charity. It has everything to do with
an orderly path of entering the United States legally, and
the main thing is though that those being deported will
be sent back because of crimes committed that while they
(28:06):
were here, and as Trump himself recently said, some with
genuine reasons to seek asylum will be allowed to stay
in the United States. So we're not that cold hearted,
and neither's President Trump. So it probably won't be as
unjust as the Democrats along with the media are going
(28:29):
to play it up to be. And for his part,
Trump will be squeezing in as much change as he
can since this will really be his second term as president,
so he has to move swiftly and accomplish as much
as he can in the time allotted for his administration,
(28:49):
and I believe he will accomplish what he sets out
to do. We'll just have to wait and see what
the Democrats have up their sleeve to disrupt his incoming administration.
But for the time being at least, I truly believe
things will be getting better for the American people under Trump.
Something else I've been hearing is that four years ago
(29:12):
there were more votes counted than were actually cast, and
maybe Trump should be now just finishing his second term
because he may have won the last election, and this
past election there were I don't know, thousands or less votes.
(29:32):
Just something to think about. You know, there's a lot
of skullduggery, I think is the word that is used
occasionally that it should be looked into. When Trump is
reinstalled as president in January, I think we should look
into that and find out if Biden was elected based
(29:53):
on illegal votes. After all, who knows what evil lurks
in the hearts of men. And that's the real question,
isn't it. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, we have a we
have a lot going on. Don't be deceived though. Your
investment accounts are very important. The media all talking about
(30:19):
how the markets are going to being responding or positively.
Now's a good time to invest. We're going to make
some money under the Trump's second administration. But you never know,
and you may not. You know, if you have funds
in the market right now, it might be a good
idea to consider moving some of those funds out of
(30:42):
harms way. And you can do it because you can
get market returns, you can enjoy making money investing money,
and you can do it without taking the risk of
losing money. It's it's these accounts that we offer through
our work at Asset Growth Associates, Principal Protection accounts. What
(31:03):
that means is your money is protected when the market
goes down. You don't lose any money. When the market
comes back. While everybody's waiting to catch up, you're already
moving ahead. And there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, these
these contracts are issued by life insurance companies. Somebody passes away,
the proceeds go straight to a name beneficiary. They don't
(31:25):
have to go through probate. These these are important considerations
to take. I'm telling you right now you really ought
to come in and talk to us, because you know,
everybody has a future, and your future depends on the
decisions that you make in the here and now. That's
just the way it is. Call us four nine eight
(31:47):
four h sixty nine hundred and we'll be back with
more right after this.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
This is Gene Valerati of Ascent Growth Associates. If you've
been watching recent news, a few banks have had a
run where customers panic and withdraw all their money at once,
causing the banks to fail. If that isn't worrying enough.
On January first, twenty twenty three, the Federal Reserve set
(32:22):
a new low reserve crumpch for net transaction accounts to
six hundred and ninety one point seven million dollars, meaning
that banks with net transaction account balances up to this
amount are subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent.
(32:43):
You heard me right, Zero reserve requirements. Forget fractional reserve banking.
How about zero reserve banking? Why would the Federal Reserve
create this environment of uncertainty? If this is of concerned you,
and it should be, we can show you how to
protect yourself and how to locate and utilize financial institutions
(33:07):
with very real reserves, not zero reserves. Give us a
call an Asset Growth Associates one eight six six seven
two eight three six nine seven. That's eight six six

reach us locally in Beaumont, Texas by dialing four oh
(33:28):

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Give us a call.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
You'll be glad that you did.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to that's the
bottom line. Your weekly report on KLBI. That tells it
like it is. And for those of you who don't
hear the show on the radio during the broadcast, you
can also hear it by going online and logging on
to save my retire dot com or log on. So
(34:02):
that's the bottom line radio show. You'll find us on
the internet and you'll be able to listen to this
and pass shows too. All right, we have a solution
for you. Okay, when you hear us mention principal protection
on this program, we are talking about specialized financial contracts
(34:24):
which promise your initial investment principle and credited earnings are
never at risk of market losses. In other words, you
have money in one of these accounts, the market collapses,
you don't lose a dot. And that's because, unlike those
who invest in buying stock shares or mutual fund shares,
(34:45):
people placing funds in a principal protection account are not
actually buying any shares of stock, bond or an index,
but rather they're earning returns based on a market index
or a combination of then. As such, a market downturn
cannot reduce the contract value. These principal protection accounts are
(35:08):
designed primarily to help our clients accumulate savings for retirement income.
And despite the intended goal being to accumulate and grow
money for future use, clients still have access to their
funds inside these types of contracts and they can be
drawn upon in the here and now. Based on contract guarantees,
(35:33):
you can set them up to send you a check
each month. Listen to me, these are unique, good contracts.
We deal with the best companies there are around that
offer this and best of all, they're issued by life
insurance companies and they don't. That means when someone passes
(35:53):
away and money is needed, they bypass probate. The money
goes right to the name to beneficiary. But I also
want you to know that we offer more than principal
protection plans at Asset Growth Associates because traditional investments are
also available through our firm's fee based investment advisory services.
(36:20):
Opening an account US at Asset Growth Associates is one
of the ways to help build retirement assets, or if
you're already retiring, you can come see us, and we
can help you also disperse that money so that that
money is stay safe and it doesn't evaporate before your eyes,
(36:46):
and also to pay you an income that you cannot outlive. Now,
we fully understand one size does not fit all, and
that's why we offer many different ways to allocate funds
for either growth or income. Is part of an over
we're all investment strategy because that's really what we do,
and we're not on the radio. So we invite interested
(37:07):
parties to give us a called Asset Growth Associates. Our
phone number in the four oh nine area code four
oh nine eight four oh sixty nine hundred, or if
you live in far away places, we have a toll
free line one eight six six seven two eight three
(37:27):
six nine seven one eight six six seven two eight
three six nine sent either way, we'll put you in
touch with us to schedule a time to learn or
about how to have a successful investment outcome. Listen to me,
ladies and gentlemen. Opportunity is everywhere. You just got to
(37:50):
find it. One size does not fit all, and a
big the stock market is not the only way to
accumulate money. Stock market investments are a good way to
accumulate money, but there's risk associated because those values go
up and down. When you hear me talk about principal protection,
(38:12):
I'm talking about plans that make money. They go with
the money accumulates, it goes up. The difference is when
the market goes down, it stays put, and when the
market starts back up, it doesn't have to make up
for loss for losses because it never had any losses.
(38:32):
I'm telling you right now, these are good plans. You
can take the money out, lump some you can take
the money out and monthly payments, you can do. It's
liquid too. The principal protection plans are also liquid. They're
designed to grow over time, but so are all investments.
All investments are designed to grow over time. But a
(38:55):
principal protection account is excellent for if you're still working
and can you accumulated money, saying your four to one
K and that money's vested and you can move that money.
We can roll that money out of the four to
one K, put it into the principal protection account and
that money will not be exposed to shrink eachever again
(39:15):
and it will continue to grow. So what's wrong with that?
That sounds like a pretty solid idea to me, and
you can, like I said, these these plans are available
where you can dip into your money when you need
it or just set yourself up on a steady stream
of income. That's just money. That's it's a good way
(39:38):
to save money. And I can't stress that enough. So
I want you to call us an Asset Growth Associates.
Four oh nine eight four sixty nine hundred. Thanksgiving is over,
Christmas is coming sooner or later though all the festivities
will end. We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 6 (39:56):

on the radio or listen to us over the internet
and learn a lot about ways to set money aside
for future use. Also, you can listen to commentary that
kind of gives you a feel that's different than listening
(41:18):
to a newscast with regard to what's going on in politics,
and politics is money. Politics is money because when the
politicians they if what's her name would have got elected
instead of Trump, you know what would have happened. Taxes
would have gone up, your pace checks would have shrunk,
(41:40):
that have been more jobs shipped overseas. And but for
the time being, we are secure. Trump's gonna put big
high tariffs on on both Canada and Mexico with regard
to automobiles and other manufacturing goods that they manufacture in
(42:02):
Canada and Mexico and then ship into the United States.
So there's a so that means that there's going to
be more and more jobs in the United States. Let's
face it, that's exactly what we're talking about too. One
the more jobs that means the market's going to be up,
and whether you use principal protection account or whether you
(42:23):
use traditional investments. We can handle both here at our office.
We're especially you know, we want to help people save
money for the future, and we want them to be

to cover this morning, so let's get started once again.
This is gene Beallerani reporting the news media is wasting
no time going after President elect Trump's incoming nominees. The
first to go was Matt Gates, who withdrew his nomination
(03:48):
to become trumpet Trump's attorney General, and they're also going
after Pete hegsett Trump's pick for US Secretary of Defense.
In Gates's case, it was over too much hanky panky
with the ladies. Hegseth, on the other hand, was in
the process of a divorce and speaking at a women's
(04:09):
GOP forum and allegedly had a one night stand with
an attendee, a married woman, after having too much to drink.
In excess defense, he was going through a divorce at
the time and was drunk, and the lady in question
allegedly who was escorting him to his room, and she
(04:31):
was inebriated as well, Well what are you going to do?
Right After sobering up, she sued him and then settled
for money. Of course, since both Gates and the headset
were Republicans, the media is just they drew out their swords.
(04:51):
The media report such incidents as almost being high crimes
and misdemeanors. Had they been Democrats, the media would have
ignored the incidents, or, as they did with Bill Clinton,
blamed the women for throwing themselves at powerful men. I'm
not defending bad behavior on either mister Gates or mister
(05:12):
Hegseeth's part. I'm just criticizing the media's double standard. In
former President Clinton's part, the media blamed the woman because,
as a lot of people say, women are attracted to
powerful men and as such throw virtue or modesty out
the window whenever they meet one. Of course, the latter
(05:34):
is not necessarily true, but we all know about human behavior,
and even King David, the Apple of God's Eye, had
an affair with bath Sheba, a married woman. As for
King David, he goes so far as having Bathsheba's husband Uriah,
a soldier sent into battle, where King David orders him
(05:56):
to be sent to the thickest part of the battle
and he is killed. Then there's the story of Samson
and Delilah, a man given enough strength by God to
slay a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey.
To maintain his extraordinary strength, God tells him to keep
(06:17):
his hair long and tell nobody where he his extra
ordinary strength comes from. But the beautiful Delallah lures him
into telling her his secret, and foolishly, after he does,
his head is shaven while he sleeps, and his strength
is gone. The Philistines even blind him, but he repents,
(06:39):
gets his strength back and pushes apart the pillars of
their temple to the false gods of the Philistines, causing
the temple to collapse and kill all inside. Well, the
lesson is to find a virtuous woman to love and marry,
and even more so, if you're a powerful man or
(06:59):
a high ranking politician, you gotta be careful right. Then again,
the Bible tells us the story of when the crowd
wanted the Stone the Prostitute to death and asked Jesus
about whether or not they should that he told the
crowd that he who is without sin cast the first stone,
(07:20):
and they all walked away. They walked away because they
were hypocrites. Jesus saved the prostitute, and he told her
to sin no more. So, I presume mister Hegsett and
mister Gates had had better if if they had better
control of their desires and the women in question didn't
(07:41):
put themselves in situations like those who allegedly were involved
with them, there wouldn't be a big scandal occurring right
now for the media to report about no one's perfect
in No matter who we are, their's temptation all around us,
and no one is exempt. Even Jesus was tempted, and
(08:02):
those temptations were much bigger than being succumbing to a
one night stand. Sooner or later, everything we do or
have done will come out, and no matter how many
people don't know, the good Lord above knows, and he's
(08:23):
the one we should do our best not to disappoint.
The world we live in is a vicious one full
of things that are tempting, and especially in our goals
are to be leaders, well, they have to be more
careful in any endeavor. We have to be put people
in office that are trustworthy and live up to the
(08:46):
higher standard. But we also have to remember to judge,
not lest we be judged. One thing's for sure, those
gossip reporters who try to destroy others and stone people
with stories that may not be true, they are they're
the ones that ought to be exposed, exposed that Jesus said,
(09:07):
he who is without sin, passed the first son. So
that's where we're beginning this morning's report. Since there's a
lot of controversy right now about who Trump is putting
into his cabinet. The news media is looking over those
folks with the fine tooth comb and uh, now Trump
(09:31):
is he Gates bowed out, but Pete Hegseth, he's Uh,
Trump's sticking with him. So that's that's where that is
right now as far as I know. Meantime, President Trump
has said that he's putting going to put big tariffs
(09:53):
on imports from both Mexico and Canada because of all
those foreign imports that are coming into the United States
and affecting workers in the United States. So that's that's
another thing that's coming down the pike. And listen, I
applaud him for that. In other words, his obligation is
(10:17):
to the people of the United States, and he's he's
going to live up to it, just like he's going
to seal that border. That's another big thing that's going
on right now. It's going to go on pretty early.
You know that there's going to be Democrat judges that
are going to try to fight him, and this whole
thing's gonna, you know, be a bone of contention, as
(10:37):
they say occasionally. But President Trump is coming into office
and he is not gonna waste it. He's not gonna
waste He's only got four years. He doesn't have that
first term he was in. He was new to politics,
and they got him. Boy, they were after him at
every turn, even as fellow Republicans, a lot of them were.
(11:00):
So that's it. It was Trump versus the professional politicians.
But I think he's a lot wiser this time around.
And by the way, they're throwing out all those charges
that they were they had against him going in. We'll
talk a little bit about that later, but that's that's
Occasionally things that don't don't really happen, and we now
(11:24):
see it, we see it playing out big and how vicious.
I mean, they wanted to put President Trump in prison
and lock him up, right, do you remember that? Wasn't
that a shock? And as it turns out, what they
were accusing him of was was things that really weren't
(11:46):
even crimes at all, and crimes that he didn't commit
and that others did. Okay, more after these important messages.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
If you owe the i R S five thousand dollars
or more, don't call an unknown eight hundred number. Instead
personally meet with us to review your i RS problem.
And if you want to pay the i R S
nothing or less than you owe, we can set up
a fresh start agreement with the i R S. We
(12:23):
can help you. Ladies and gentlemen can call us whole
free at one eight six six seven two eight three
six nine seven.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
We're just trying to turn a nipple into a dime.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Pol we will.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
People can't even the free when the meat.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the
bottom line. Your weekly broadcast on k LVI broadcasting out
of Beaumont, Texas, five sixty A N and you're listening to.
That's the bottom line, your weekly radio report that tells
it like it is. And now we have more for you.
(13:30):
You know that the annual Thanksgiving holiday is behind us,
and next on the list will be Christmas. As my
dad used to say many years ago, by the time
Christmas Day arrives, for all intents and purposes, Christmas is over.
This is because our present society is the prelude to
(13:51):
Christmas that sets the season, not necessarily the day itself. Now,
the anticipation of Christmas becomes the event more than the
big day itself, which ends the season. You might as
well say, I know, next after Christmas comes New Year,
but that is an entirely different celebration, a different type
(14:16):
of celebration. In other words, the anticipation of Christmas itself
in some cases is bigger than the climax. Right. So
Christmas Day is the first day of the twelve days
of Christmas. It's the first day, not the last day
of Christmas. Did you ever think about that? In some
(14:38):
European countries, the gift giving is on the twelfth day
of Christmas, commemorating the arrival of the Three Wise Men
bearing their gifts of gold, frankencense and merder I mentioned
this today because Christmas has become as much of a
secular observance than a religious one. Having said all that,
(15:00):
I want to wish all listening to me this morning
at joyous and a very merry Christmas, because it's still
the happiest time of the year for most of us,
but not for all of us, especially for those who
have lost the family member or suffered some other loss,
maybe they lost their job or being away from their
(15:21):
families and friends. Having said all this, for most of
the Christian world, listen, Christmas is a big day in truth,
as far as ranking holidays go. In all of Christendom,
Easter is technically the real high holy day. That that's
(15:42):
because on Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Christ
from the dead. He died for all of us and
for the redemption of all mankind. It's more than colored
eggs at Easter and chocolate bunnies, and just like Christmas
is more than spending money for gifts. We all will
(16:03):
die someday, no way to get out of it, but
once again we will be resurrected with our bodies. Well,
some believe there is no afterlife, nor a resurrection of
the dead. Jesus said, blessed are they who have not
seen but yet believe. There must be something to it,
(16:24):
because many do believe, and in fact, there are more
Christians in the world than any other religion. Did you
realize that more Christians in the world than any other religions.
I know there are different sects of Christianity, but they
are all. There's more Christians than any other religion in
(16:45):
the world, so much so that many Christians have held
strong to their belief even when being put to death
for believing. What would any of us do if faced
with such a choice. Like all life, it begins with birth,
and we all are destined to die. So as I
(17:07):
used to say, tongue and cheap, none of us are
getting out of here alive. None of us are getting
out of here alive. And like one of my uncles
used to say, we all pass that date on the
caliber each year, and someday our number will come up.
He's write about that for many. For many, the Christmas
(17:30):
season really is the happiest time of the year. But
for others all they have left are their memories. Is
Christmas past? Right? Like the song and the lyrics, Why
can't every day be Christmas? Meaning, of course, finding the
same joy in our hearts as many do at Christmas time.
(17:51):
We sing songs of peace on Earth, But the missiles
and bombs are still raining down on other parts of
the world, in the Holy Land than in the Ukraine
and in Russia as well as an army of communist
Chinese regulars are now massing on the border of the
Ukraine to help the Russians take that country away from
(18:13):
the people who live in the Ukraine. Are we on
the eve of another World War? I'm asking that question
this morning, and I'm tying that in right as we
sing peace on Earth, goodwill to men. But right now,
with all that chaos that's going on, and now that
(18:33):
they're the Biden administration has decided to allow the Ukraine
people to send those missiles into Russia, and of course
Russia ours back. They cut off water lines going into
other parts of Europe. So now what we have is
(18:54):
a war that is getting getting worse. So that's why
I ask we on the eve of another World War?
Our incoming President Donald Trump claims he will end the
conflict between the Ukraine and Russia as soon as he
takes office. Hopefully he will be able to do that,
(19:14):
but January twentieth seems a long time away before Trump
resumes his presidency. Meantime, the Holy Land is anything but
Why these days with Israel defending its borders from Hamas
and Hezbelah, you know, its neighbors on both sides of
its borders, how far will that war go? Will it
(19:39):
be the war against Israel foretold in the Bible heralding
the second coming of Christ? If it is, will the
United States be involved and have missiles reigning down on
the United States? Answers yet to be given, and hopefully
not not gonna have happen. Right, Let there be peace
(20:02):
on earth, as the song lyrics go, and let it
begin with me. Those are the lyrics to an old hymn.
But peace on earth, the man is what the angels
were singing in the skies above Bethlehem a couple thousand
years ago, If anything, a night to remember, And I
wonder what kind of a night it really was. Imagine angels.
(20:28):
I'd picture angels singing up in the sky and you
look up and you see them. They're playing their hearts
and they're singing. What an event of what an event.
That must have been quite an event to see. And
then of course we have our Christmas trees, which are
a symbol of eternal life because they're evergreens. And they
(20:52):
had someone tell me one time that when Christmas is
over and they throw the old tree out, that's a
symbol of Christ because they did. When they put put
the old free out, then that means that you've discarded it,
just like they discarded Christ on Good Friday. Anyhow, we're
(21:14):
coming into the Christmas season and very excited about it,
and we hope everybody is prepared and you're ready to
have a good time and enjoy the coming season and
not be too concerned about other things that are occurring
in the world right now, although we have to be
and we've got to pay attention to that because if
(21:39):
it gets out of control, it's going to affect us.
I mean, we've been fighting wars for decades now and
it's time to Maybe we do need a little peace
on earth. Goodwill come in and I certainly hope so. Okay,
back after this.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.

Speaker 6 (22:42):
We're just trying to turn a neckel into a dime.
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the
bottom line. Your weekly broadcast on k LBI. That tells
it like it is. Now sign for our dirty little secret.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has dismissed all the charges against
incoming against President Trump. Incoming President Trump, I should say,
(23:13):
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is packing his bags and leaving Washington, DC,
and there's nothing Judge Tanya Chunkin in the District of
Columbia can do about it. Manhattan Judge Juan Marshawn in
Manhattan is still dragging his feet, but a state court
(23:37):
cannot charge someone inside what should be a federal case,
so that trial was ill fated from the beginning. Actually
that was the case all along, but no one brought
it up, not even the judge. As of a few
days ago, hush Bunny payoff charges brought about by Stormy
(23:58):
Daniels is also on its way to the trashy. On
January twentieth, Donald J. Trump will take the oath of office,
becoming the forty seventh president of the United States. The
Democrats pushed those charges against Trump over his alleged affair
with Stormy Daniels, which mister Trump denies ever happened. Look
(24:21):
for that case also be tossed out. Incoming President Trump,
I guess, is living up to a new nickname of
the Teflondon Mister. Everything seems to slide right off. There
was a mafia chieftain that needs to call the Teflondon.
(24:41):
Mister Trump will easily slide into becoming president once again,
and I expect we will watch the next big chapter
in his life, and first off will be the deportation
of criminal illegals. Expect the corrupt news media to bel
hing pictures of crying children across the America's front pages,
(25:05):
which may not even be the case, since many of
the illegals being rounded up and being sent back to
their home countries are really vicious individuals known to be criminals,
many of whom are already in custody being awaiting deportion,
a deep deportation. What the Biden administration did was unnecessary
(25:30):
to import allow criminal aliens into the United States. He
opened the gates and they all came rushing in. All
of that will be ending soon, and the news media
will play it up as something unfair, trust me, that's
what they'll do. They'll want to try to bring pity
(25:51):
to those who came in illegally. But it's not going
to be unfair because they violated our immigration laws and
they have no right to be here to begin with.
They can visit, but then they have to go home.
There's certainly nothing wrong either with sending them back and
find out if they really are entitled to be treated
(26:13):
as refugees and live here. You know, though, probably they're
just going to be sending them back to Mexico, or
some of them back to Mexico and made to wait there.
The ones that are seeking asylum and to see if
they're eligible for asylum here in the United States. The
ones who came across the border and came differently than that,
(26:37):
they didn't seek asylum, Well, they're going back to their
home countries. Nonetheless, expect to see crying babies on the
nightly television news. You know, crying is being taken away
from their mothers and so on, so forth. Not everyone
has to go. They're going to start with the Trump says,
(26:57):
they're going to start with the really bad first. Beyond that,
Trump will have to begin rebuilding the border wall or
the parts of it that Biden sold for scrap metal
on the fence line. But it has to be done
if we Americans want to live in peace within our
own borders, or or you know what's wrong with wanting
(27:22):
to live in peace within our own borders. Tell me
what's wrong with that. Of course, Trump will get a
lot of flak from the Democrats for pushing law and order.
What so ironic. These people streaming into the United States
would have probably probably been able to cross the border
if they just came here legally. That's the arity they
(27:44):
would have applied to come here. Many of them would
have been allowed to come here. And this has nothing
to do with charity. It has everything to do with
an orderly path of entering the United States legally, and
the main thing is though that those being deported will
be sent back because of crimes committed that while they
(28:06):
were here, and as Trump himself recently said, some with
genuine reasons to seek asylum will be allowed to stay
in the United States. So we're not that cold hearted,
and neither's President Trump. So it probably won't be as
unjust as the Democrats along with the media are going
(28:29):
to play it up to be. And for his part,
Trump will be squeezing in as much change as he
can since this will really be his second term as president,
so he has to move swiftly and accomplish as much
as he can in the time allotted for his administration,
(28:49):
and I believe he will accomplish what he sets out
to do. We'll just have to wait and see what
the Democrats have up their sleeve to disrupt his incoming administration.
But for the time being at least, I truly believe
things will be getting better for the American people under Trump.
Something else I've been hearing is that four years ago
(29:12):
there were more votes counted than were actually cast, and
maybe Trump should be now just finishing his second term
because he may have won the last election, and this
past election there were I don't know, thousands or less votes.
(29:32):
Just something to think about. You know, there's a lot
of skullduggery, I think is the word that is used
occasionally that it should be looked into. When Trump is
reinstalled as president in January, I think we should look
into that and find out if Biden was elected based
(29:53):
on illegal votes. After all, who knows what evil lurks
in the hearts of men. And that's the real question,
isn't it. Ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, we have a we
have a lot going on. Don't be deceived though. Your
investment accounts are very important. The media all talking about
(30:19):
how the markets are going to being responding or positively.
Now's a good time to invest. We're going to make
some money under the Trump's second administration. But you never know,
and you may not. You know, if you have funds
in the market right now, it might be a good
idea to consider moving some of those funds out of
(30:42):
harms way. And you can do it because you can
get market returns, you can enjoy making money investing money,
and you can do it without taking the risk of
losing money. It's it's these accounts that we offer through
our work at Asset Growth Associates, Principal Protection accounts. What
(31:03):
that means is your money is protected when the market
goes down. You don't lose any money. When the market
comes back. While everybody's waiting to catch up, you're already
moving ahead. And there's nothing wrong with that. Plus, these
these contracts are issued by life insurance companies. Somebody passes away,
the proceeds go straight to a name beneficiary. They don't
(31:25):
have to go through probate. These these are important considerations
to take. I'm telling you right now you really ought
to come in and talk to us, because you know,
everybody has a future, and your future depends on the
decisions that you make in the here and now. That's
just the way it is. Call us four nine eight
(31:47):
four h sixty nine hundred and we'll be back with
more right after this.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
This is Gene Valerati of Ascent Growth Associates. If you've
been watching recent news, a few banks have had a
run where customers panic and withdraw all their money at once,
causing the banks to fail. If that isn't worrying enough.
On January first, twenty twenty three, the Federal Reserve set
(32:22):
a new low reserve crumpch for net transaction accounts to
six hundred and ninety one point seven million dollars, meaning
that banks with net transaction account balances up to this
amount are subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent.
(32:43):
You heard me right, Zero reserve requirements. Forget fractional reserve banking.
How about zero reserve banking? Why would the Federal Reserve
create this environment of uncertainty? If this is of concerned you,
and it should be, we can show you how to
protect yourself and how to locate and utilize financial institutions
(33:07):
with very real reserves, not zero reserves. Give us a
call an Asset Growth Associates one eight six six seven
two eight three six nine seven. That's eight six six
seven two eight three six ninety seven. You can also
reach us locally in Beaumont, Texas by dialing four oh
(33:28):
nine eight four oh sixty nine hundred.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Give us a call.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
You'll be glad that you did.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
We're just trying to turn ankel into a dime.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to that's the
bottom line. Your weekly report on KLBI. That tells it
like it is. And for those of you who don't
hear the show on the radio during the broadcast, you
can also hear it by going online and logging on
to save my retire dot com or log on. So
(34:02):
that's the bottom line radio show. You'll find us on
the internet and you'll be able to listen to this
and pass shows too. All right, we have a solution
for you. Okay, when you hear us mention principal protection
on this program, we are talking about specialized financial contracts
(34:24):
which promise your initial investment principle and credited earnings are
never at risk of market losses. In other words, you
have money in one of these accounts, the market collapses,
you don't lose a dot. And that's because, unlike those
who invest in buying stock shares or mutual fund shares,
(34:45):
people placing funds in a principal protection account are not
actually buying any shares of stock, bond or an index,
but rather they're earning returns based on a market index
or a combination of then. As such, a market downturn
cannot reduce the contract value. These principal protection accounts are
(35:08):
designed primarily to help our clients accumulate savings for retirement income.
And despite the intended goal being to accumulate and grow
money for future use, clients still have access to their
funds inside these types of contracts and they can be
drawn upon in the here and now. Based on contract guarantees,
(35:33):
you can set them up to send you a check
each month. Listen to me, these are unique, good contracts.
We deal with the best companies there are around that
offer this and best of all, they're issued by life
insurance companies and they don't. That means when someone passes
(35:53):
away and money is needed, they bypass probate. The money
goes right to the name to beneficiary. But I also
want you to know that we offer more than principal
protection plans at Asset Growth Associates because traditional investments are
also available through our firm's fee based investment advisory services.
(36:20):
Opening an account US at Asset Growth Associates is one
of the ways to help build retirement assets, or if
you're already retiring, you can come see us, and we
can help you also disperse that money so that that
money is stay safe and it doesn't evaporate before your eyes,
(36:46):
and also to pay you an income that you cannot outlive. Now,
we fully understand one size does not fit all, and
that's why we offer many different ways to allocate funds
for either growth or income. Is part of an over
we're all investment strategy because that's really what we do,
and we're not on the radio. So we invite interested
(37:07):
parties to give us a called Asset Growth Associates. Our
phone number in the four oh nine area code four
oh nine eight four oh sixty nine hundred, or if
you live in far away places, we have a toll
free line one eight six six seven two eight three
(37:27):
six nine seven one eight six six seven two eight
three six nine sent either way, we'll put you in
touch with us to schedule a time to learn or
about how to have a successful investment outcome. Listen to me,
ladies and gentlemen. Opportunity is everywhere. You just got to
(37:50):
find it. One size does not fit all, and a
big the stock market is not the only way to
accumulate money. Stock market investments are a good way to
accumulate money, but there's risk associated because those values go
up and down. When you hear me talk about principal protection,
(38:12):
I'm talking about plans that make money. They go with
the money accumulates, it goes up. The difference is when
the market goes down, it stays put, and when the
market starts back up, it doesn't have to make up
for loss for losses because it never had any losses.
(38:32):
I'm telling you right now, these are good plans. You
can take the money out, lump some you can take
the money out and monthly payments, you can do. It's
liquid too. The principal protection plans are also liquid. They're
designed to grow over time, but so are all investments.
All investments are designed to grow over time. But a
(38:55):
principal protection account is excellent for if you're still working
and can you accumulated money, saying your four to one
K and that money's vested and you can move that money.
We can roll that money out of the four to
one K, put it into the principal protection account and
that money will not be exposed to shrink eachever again
(39:15):
and it will continue to grow. So what's wrong with that?
That sounds like a pretty solid idea to me, and
you can, like I said, these these plans are available
where you can dip into your money when you need
it or just set yourself up on a steady stream
of income. That's just money. That's it's a good way
(39:38):
to save money. And I can't stress that enough. So
I want you to call us an Asset Growth Associates.
Four oh nine eight four sixty nine hundred. Thanksgiving is over,
Christmas is coming sooner or later though all the festivities
will end. We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 6 (39:56):
We're just trying to turn a nickel into one done.
That's the bottom line. We're just trying to turn a
nekel into a die.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
You're listening to the closing minutes, and that's the bottom
line radio show that comes your way on Saturday mornings
at six am and then again on Sunday mornings at
eleven am.
Speaker 5 (40:35):
But here's the thing. You can listen to this show
anytime you want by getting on the internet and logging onto,
logging on to save my retirement, or simply that's the
bottom line radio show, and you'll find us. We're all
over the Internet and in more than in one place.
(40:56):
So anyhow, ladies and gentlemen, you can listen to us
on the radio or listen to us over the internet
and learn a lot about ways to set money aside
for future use. Also, you can listen to commentary that
kind of gives you a feel that's different than listening
(41:18):
to a newscast with regard to what's going on in politics,
and politics is money. Politics is money because when the
politicians they if what's her name would have got elected
instead of Trump, you know what would have happened. Taxes
would have gone up, your pace checks would have shrunk,
(41:40):
that have been more jobs shipped overseas. And but for
the time being, we are secure. Trump's gonna put big
high tariffs on on both Canada and Mexico with regard
to automobiles and other manufacturing goods that they manufacture in
(42:02):
Canada and Mexico and then ship into the United States.
So there's a so that means that there's going to
be more and more jobs in the United States. Let's
face it, that's exactly what we're talking about too. One
the more jobs that means the market's going to be up,
and whether you use principal protection account or whether you
(42:23):
use traditional investments. We can handle both here at our office.
We're especially you know, we want to help people save
money for the future, and we want them to be
able to make money and not have to worry about
the stock market crashes and so on and so forth.
So I want you to give it serious consideration. Call us.

or a pension plan and doing it with the principal
protection Well, the clock on the wall says, we got
to go. God bless you, God bless freedom loving Americans everyone.
