3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 2: We need somebody that's going ahead of people's.

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Voice, the truth. The mainstream won't touch. This guy is

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: by definition a global and the stories that matter.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Rabs own, Ben Burkwom, rid.

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 3: Up, Miss Hill.

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I've got a cartel.

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 3: I se him, I see him, I see.

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Him live, breaking news right now here in Real America's

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Voice filter. These people are domestic terrorists and unapologetic. We're

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: here to take a stand for God and country.

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 2: Let's feel good.

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to America's Voice Live.

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: I'm seen here. Today is Friday, the twenty eighth and November.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Happy Black Friday to you. Have a great show for you.

17
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: So let's dive right in and this always thank you

18
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: for joining me here on Real America's Voice. We appreciate

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you spending time with us, even on Black Friday. Well

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: with Holly Shopping taking off and taking some present from

21
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: any Americans. Start today's show with a snapshot of President

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: Trump's attempts to tackle the big thing, affordability. It's the

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: big word at the McDonald's summit. President Trump made note

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: of the fact that his administration inherited a tarnished economy

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: under Joe Biden, and went on to express the fact

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: that affordability should be our word, referring, of course, to

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: the Republican Party for an action implemented by President Trump

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: had to do with signing an executive order which excludes

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: some goods from tariff rates, such as meats, tropical fruits,

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: and coffee. Now that's Keith, It's an honest attempt to

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: address the issue had on Jeremy to discuss is Louisiana

32
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: State Treasurer John Fleming, as well as tax attorney and

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: chairman of Americans for Fair Trade Steve Hayes.

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, thank you for being here on Black Friday.

35
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Haste to be ridy. I mean, this is the word. Look,

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear at this point, ma'am. Donnie

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: won in New York because he talked about affordability over

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: and over again. It's also the same reason Donald Trump

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: won in November twenty four. He tapped into people's concerns

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: the future and the affordability of that future.

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: Stee, let me start with.

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: You, how critical do you think prices are going to

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: be when we head toward the midterms.

44
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: Very critical.

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: If people, no matter how much they like some of

46
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 5: the things he stands for, if they're finding it very

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 5: difficult to feed their families, they're going to be looking

48
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: for an alternative, period, even if that alternative instinctively they

49
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 5: know is not good for them. If they can handle

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 5: something that's facing them today, they think they'll take care

51
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: of the future in the future, but today they've got

52
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: to eat and feed their family. So I believe the

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: President is totally correct in pivoting more from foreign policy emphasis,

54
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: even though he's still going to be very active there

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: to looking at how he can make things better in

56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: the US. And part of that, obviously is not only

57
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: in how he addresses tariffs, but also in how he

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 5: can cut through a lot of the bureaucracy that makes

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 5: things ten to fifteen to twenty percent higher to do

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 5: in America than they do in other countries.

61
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: You know, if somebody heller the price of coffee, they're

62
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: getting my vote, I'll tell you that. John. Let's talk

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: about something serious though, here, and that is young women.

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Eighty two percent of the women between eighteen and thirty,

65
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: these gen z folks they cast their bounced from Amboni.

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: If we cannot show we collectively those on the right

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: cannot show young people that they have a chance here

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: that they can afford to buy a house or even

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: pay the rent on the apartment and still have some

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: money left over to go out and have a cocktailer,

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: whatever does they want to do. Real trouble is going

72
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: to brew here because if Americans, like Steve said there,

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: don't feel they can afford things, maybe they don't vote

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: for the other guy, maybe they just don't vote at all.

75
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: And that's dangerous territory too, isn't it.

76
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 6: Well, no question about that, Steve. And remember we came

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 6: off of the Biden inflationary period where prices went up dramatically,

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 6: a peaked at nine point five five percent, but incomes

79
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: have risen very slowly. And Trump is really approaching this,

80
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 6: as you know, fighting energy prices, trying to get those down,

81
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 6: food prices, egg prices, all these prices, and he's struggled

82
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 6: with Chairman Powell of the Fed, who just is resistant

83
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 6: to getting interest rates down, which really reflects upon mortgage

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 6: cost and ultimately rental cost for people. And so affordability

85
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 6: is so key here. But to turn towards socialism in

86
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 6: the case of New York City Mandemi, this is really

87
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 6: a bad idea because look at every country that's gone

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: that direction, Venezuela, Cuba, the Soviet Union, North Korea. They're

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 6: all in abject poverty to day because they took that

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 6: leap into socialism. So the only way to get out

91
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: of this is the free market and lower these interest rates.

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: There's no question, but the flirtation with socialism is because

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: we haven't educated our young people very well at all.

94
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I was talking to a guy here recently. I said,

95
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, have you ever heard of Chairman Mao? He goes, no,

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: have you ever heard of the Great Leap forward? No,

97
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: this is problematic, Steve. If we don't teach people that

98
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: communism failed in Russia, in China, in Cuba, in Vietnam,

99
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: every place I've been trying, and they say, well, we

100
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: just didn't do it right or we need more of it. No,

101
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: we don't. Venezuela is one of the wealthiest countries in

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: the world twenty five years ago. Today it is it

103
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: has people pouring over the borders into Columbia trying to

104
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: escape that hell hole.

105
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean, this is what happens.

106
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: A new socialism for the twenty first century is what

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: was sold to them. That Bill of Goods didn't age

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: very well.

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 4: Did it.

110
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 5: It never has And John's totally correct. It's failed every

111
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 5: place it's been implemented. If you look at what Madani

112
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 5: said though in New York before he got elected, and

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 5: then what he said the night of the election, they're

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 5: radically different. You know, he was talking about he's a

115
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 5: socialist only in a few little, tiny areas. For the

116
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: most part, he believes in the free market, and he

117
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 5: believes in you know, people producing and all of these

118
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 5: good things and having the ability for them to do it.

119
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 5: And then once he's elected, solect Fidel Castro, he revealed

120
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 5: who he really was and is.

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: And I think he is.

122
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 5: Going to be maybe not by the midterms, but certainly

123
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: within for the next four In the next four year term,

124
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 5: he is going to reveal the real faults of what

125
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 5: he's doing. And I think you're going to see a

126
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 5: great city imploding even further because of the policies he's doing.

127
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 5: And apparently the governor is going to back him up

128
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 5: to some extent.

129
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, she said to a point.

130
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: She's going to back him up, but she said there

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: won't be any free buses. He wants free buses. He

132
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: wants rent control, he wants government grocery stores. He wants

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: to replace the police officers with social workers. If I'm

134
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: a social worker in New York, Seria, I'm like, no,

135
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm not going into a domestic violent situation

136
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: just armed with my little book of positive affirmations. I

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: think I'm going to skip that. John. I think it's

138
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: a demonstration of how bad this is by the number

139
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: of people that are leaving New York right now, the

140
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: number people are leaving California, people that are leaving Illinois,

141
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: and the list goes down. The states that are going

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: more and more socialist are hemorrhaging population every day, aren't they?

143
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 6: Certainly? And like Steve says, a little bit of socialism

144
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: is like a little bit of pregnancy, right you being

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 6: just a little bit pregnant. You can't be You're either

146
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 6: all socialist or you're free capital And actually we in Louisiana,

147
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: of course, I'm State Treasurer of Louisiana and Canada for

148
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 6: US Senate, we would love for the people of New

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 6: York who want to come to a capitalistic economy to

150
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 6: join us in Louisiana. We've got jobs and we've got

151
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 6: companies for them. If you don't like the socialist haven

152
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 6: in New York City, come on down to Louisiana.

153
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: We'd love to have you. No, come on down. The

154
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: water's fine, all right. So let me ask you about this.

155
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Steve the Great Society Lyndon Baines Johnson nineteen sixty five

156
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: and all of those programs. We're about twenty five or

157
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: thirty trillion dollars into that, and poverty rates have now

158
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: been greatly impacted. Homelessnesscontinues to grow in America. Our great

159
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: cities are not in great shape, that's for sure. And

160
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the national debt, you take away

161
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: twenty five or thirty trillion dollars in what I consider

162
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: to be throwing good money after bad.

163
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: We've been at.

164
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: Different place as far as our national debt goes, wouldn't

165
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: we Well.

166
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 5: We'd been one hundred percent different. I mean, we look

167
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 5: back at nineteen sixty five and everyone could have not everyone,

168
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: but almost everyone could afford a home. And I'm talking

169
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 5: about people that worked in them alls who were getting.

170
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 4: You know, a minimum wage.

171
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 5: Almost they could afford a home, and you look at

172
00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: what's happened with this benefit to America. You've gotten a

173
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 5: lot of the people who were in the middle class

174
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 5: being crunched down, and even upper middle class being crunched down.

175
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: But you don't have a corresponding rise in people who

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 5: were in poverty before. Yes, many of them have big

177
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 5: screen TVs, but they don't live effectively any better because

178
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 5: what we've done is we've done what happened in communist countries.

179
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 5: We have compressed people down to a medium which is

180
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: far below what it should have been had they been

181
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: allowed to grow in the same way we were growing

182
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: in nineteen sixty five.

183
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: So, like you, I look at Lyndon Johnson as.

184
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: Actually a villain in the story because a lot of

185
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 5: our problems, I think can be traced to what was

186
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: perhaps well intended I'm not sure about that, but an

187
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 5: object failure and the way that we have handled our

188
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 5: government and our spending since that time.

189
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and poverty today looks different than it did in

190
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. Poverty today comes with snap benefits, I

191
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: have no problem with that, but it also comes with

192
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: a lot of other benefits. Poverty in America, john is

193
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: very different than poverty pretty much everywhere else in the world,

194
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: isn't It comes with a lot of benefits, and the

195
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: question then becomes how much can we pay? How much

196
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: can we afford at thirty seven trillion dollars in growing

197
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: fast before we just absolutly run out of money in

198
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: the whole country crashes.

199
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 6: Well, as a nation, we want to take care of

200
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 6: our poor. We do believe in a safety However, we

201
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 6: don't want to turn a safety net into a hammock.

202
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 6: And that's often what happens here, particularly under the Biden administration,

203
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 6: where benefits were going to able bodied people who could work,

204
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: but they didn't have to work because they were enjoying

205
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 6: those benefits, and we just cannot afford it with a

206
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 6: thirty seven thirty eight trillion dollar debt. And remember that

207
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 6: it's America where the middle class was actually created. And

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 6: you're seeing these socialist havens as New York City and

209
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 6: in California. The middle class is evaporating. All you have

210
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 6: is a wealthy elite liberals, and then you have the poor,

211
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 6: and everybody else is leaving and going elsewhere where they

212
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: can make a living and actually purchase a home.

213
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: All Right, here's the last question, Steve, I'll be both answered.

214
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,479
Speaker 1: What has to happen between now and the midterm elections

215
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: to convince young people to have a shot in this

216
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: country that they can afford that house, they can afford

217
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: that car, they can afford to go on a vacation,

218
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: whatever it might be.

219
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 5: What has to happen, Well, if you're asking me, it's

220
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: going to be very tough to make that kind of

221
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: a change in six months. But what they need to

222
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 5: see is hope. They need to see that there is

223
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 5: going to be a way, and I'm not sure that

224
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: the fifty year mortgage makes sense, but they need to

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: see there is going to be a path to where

226
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 5: they can afford that house. And they also need to

227
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 5: be educated more. And I think we really need to

228
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 5: pound it in what happens when you do rent control,

229
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: like in New York, what happens to the quality of

230
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: the home.

231
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: So when you bring it down.

232
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 5: Yes, you can live in a place, but it may

233
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 5: have problems that haven't been fixed in fifteen years.

234
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 4: And so we need to educate people. See. But I

235
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: think the President's going.

236
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 5: To have a tough time turning around what has happened

237
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: over the last five years between now and the midterms.

238
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: But I think he's going to make some progress for it.

239
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. John, thirty seconds to you last word.

240
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 6: Yes, when President Trump took office, there were two things

241
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 6: he needed to do to revive our economy. Number one

242
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 6: was the past the one big beautiful bill that brings

243
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 6: back bonus appreciation, that cuts taxes, that renews expiring tax

244
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 6: cuts and prevents tax increases. And number two, get interest

245
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 6: rates down. And he's been arm wrestling the FED chairman.

246
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 6: Powell warned that, and if Powell will begin to work

247
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 6: with the President and get those rates down, I think

248
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,359
Speaker 6: before the midterms we could actually see an accelerating economy.

249
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: All right, gentlemen, thank you so much for being here.

250
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: Greatly appreciate it to both of you. Thank you for

251
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: joining us here today on Black Friday.

252
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir, Steve.

253
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break and be right back.

254
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: Well. A big focus of President Trump's second term has

255
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: to do with establishing peace with other nations. The notion

256
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: that the President has bolstered with a lot of action.

257
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: This is supported by the fact that even the Security

258
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: Council of the United Nations recently accepted his twenty point

259
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: plan for.

260
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: Peace in Gaza.

261
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: They want to bring peace to Gaza through his twenty

262
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: point plan in the UN said Yes, President Trump has

263
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: also mediated on other conflicts through the use of trade

264
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: and effort that seems to be turning results from other

265
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: countries that want to be in the Oval Office negotiate better.

266
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Joining me now to discuss says retired Air Force Colonel

267
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: Rob Manis Colonel nice to see you today. Let's start

268
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: with the most recent deal here, a twenty eight point

269
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: plan for peace between Ukraine and Russia. Both would have

270
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: to give something up here, but it looks like this

271
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: just might happen. What are your.

272
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 7: Thoughts, Yeah, it sounds like there's positive movement in the

273
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: right direction.

274
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: You know.

275
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 7: Of course, the you know, rags like the New York

276
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 7: Times have been published in articles the last couple of

277
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 7: days about it. It's saying it's just the Russian talking

278
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 7: points and those kind of things. But you know, there's

279
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 7: also a reporting that Zelenski is ready to come back

280
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 7: to the table to talk about the plan that he

281
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 7: walked away from in Istanbul in twenty twenty two, and

282
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 7: that's very much like what the Russians have been asking for.

283
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 7: All this time, So maybe some common sense is about

284
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 7: to take place and the president has finally gotten through

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 7: to both sides that everybody's got to give up something

286
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 7: in order to get to peace and stuff up killing

287
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 7: each other.

288
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: Well, what do you think is that going to happen

289
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: to me? Look Putin? Donald Trump met with Putin in Alaska.

290
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: You know the left one crazy on that as well.

291
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: They go crazy when he talks. Look, sometimes you got

292
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: to deal with bad people to get good results. I

293
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: mean that's true no matter how you look at You

294
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: look back to nineteen seventy two, as I do, Air

295
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Force one land in Beijing, and the President Isaiah Richard

296
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: Nixon meant with the biggest mass murderer of the twentieth century,

297
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Chairman Mao. And at that very time in history you

298
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: probably know this, there were three hundred and ten thousand

299
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Chinese soldiers on the ground helping the Vietcong kill Americans,

300
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: and yet we went there to try to establish a relationship.

301
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to deal with bad people to get

302
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: good results, don't you. Oh?

303
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And you're recalling his first term. He went to

304
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 7: see the North Korean leader Kim Jong un, and although

305
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 7: Kim did not accept what he offered him. He offered

306
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 7: him a great pathway to huge prosperity for his people

307
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 7: and ultimately freedom. Of of course, those tyrannical authoritarians don't like

308
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 7: the freedom part very much, so he turned him down.

309
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 7: But mister Putin is no longer the head of a

310
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 7: communist country or a dictatorship so to speak, you know.

311
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 7: I mean, he did get re elected in some spishy circumstances,

312
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 7: but Russia itself has come a long ways from the

313
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 7: Soviet Union, and I think he's looking for a way

314
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 7: to get a good deal out of this, for one,

315
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: for his country economically from that perspective, and to really

316
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 7: settle the issue which is vital to Russia, the issue

317
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 7: of Ukraine, and it's what is called It's near abroad

318
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 7: that it has always safeguarded very jealously for a thousand

319
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 7: years or more, not just since the Soviet Union existed.

320
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 7: That area was settled and the creation of what's called

321
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 7: the russ The Russian people started right there in Yev.

322
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 7: So they have a big vital interest that's and I

323
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 7: think the President of Russia wants to get this done.

324
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 7: But unfortunately he still holds most of the cars and

325
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 7: he could just keep grinding out the artillery and the

326
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 7: infantry in the tanks and the drones, probably for as

327
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 7: long as he needs to, until the Ukrainians are out

328
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 7: of people.

329
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: Grinding it out.

330
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: I think that's exactly the right term, because I think

331
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: when that thing started back in twenty twenty two, most

332
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: of us thought it might go a week or two

333
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: or three at the most. But grinding announce what has

334
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: turned out to be the Russian Army didn't turn out

335
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: to be what I thought it was going to be

336
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: for sure when that thing first started. Here we are

337
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: three and a half years later, it's still grinding away.

338
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Let me ask you one other conflict going on, and

339
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: President was willing us to meet with people. Twenty one

340
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: strikes I believe on drug boats so far in the

341
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Eighty eight casualties so far in

342
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: this real war on drugs. But now Donald Trump says

343
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: he will meet with Maduro. What do you make of that.

344
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 7: I think all of this movement, for all of the

345
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 7: military assets that have been moved into the air, have

346
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 7: been to the build up to where Donald Trump could

347
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 7: get the window open to talk with Madeiro forced open

348
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 7: and that's what all this force has been about moving

349
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 7: it down there. And you know, striking the boats is

350
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 7: not just to show a force. Obviously, we're killing people

351
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 7: and destroying assets and their drug assets that come into

352
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 7: this country. I don't care which drug it is. They

353
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 7: come in and it causes overdoses, it kills Americans, and

354
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 7: we have to continue to do that no matter what

355
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 7: Madeiro does. But if Venezuela will become a freedom loving

356
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 7: Western style democracy again and walk away from this communism

357
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 7: that Chavez and Madeiro and this narco terrorism back to

358
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 7: government that Maduro is running now, they could become the

359
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 7: richest country in the Western hemisphere, if not the world

360
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 7: again because they have more oil than everybody. But as

361
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 7: long as this is continuing and Maduro stays in place,

362
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 7: they're going to continue down this road and we're going

363
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: to keep doing what we're doing, and eventually we will

364
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 7: have to take some further or more aggressive pedetic action,

365
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 7: in my opinion, is what I think they're leading up to.

366
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 7: But I don't the president doesn't want to do that.

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 7: He's the President of peace, wants to be known as that,

368
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 7: wants to give him Aduro an opportunity to opt out

369
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 7: from his illegitimate position as the head of the de

370
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 7: facto cartel led government now in Venezuela, and everybody around

371
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 7: the world recognizes he's illegitimate. He knows that, and it'd

372
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 7: be easy for him to walk away if he could

373
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 7: get some guarantees for his family and his team's safety.

374
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Apparently I only got about twenty seconds here, But one

375
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: more thing on the whole narco drug terrorists and these networks.

376
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: What about Mexico. Shinbaum, the President of Mexico, says absolutely not.

377
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: Would we allow the Americans to help us here. But look,

378
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: in order to tackle the drug crisis, you've got to

379
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: take it to where the drug crisis is.

380
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: Twenty seconds.

381
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 7: Last word to you, Well, the fitanel that kills between

382
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 7: seventy thousand and one hundred thousand Americans every year comes

383
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 7: through Mexico. That's where China sends the precursors it's manufactured

384
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 7: there gets smuggled in. I have always advocated that we

385
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 7: use our special operations forces that are on our southern

386
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 7: border to go after those targets. And if the Mexican

387
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 7: government will to operate, they're going to have to figure

388
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 7: out how to live with.

389
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: It, Colonel manis always a pleasure and always enlightening. Sir,

390
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: thank you for being here as always, Thank you, Steve, Happy,

Speaker 1: thanks you happy, thanks k Well they can breaking me

392
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: right back on America's voice loud. Well, you guess it

393
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: is time to hit the mail bag and see what

394
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: you the people have to say. First up is Vince.

395
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: Vince hEDS says this, Steve, we all hear about these

396
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: illegals getting thirty five hundred dollars a month in benefits,

397
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: free housing, free housing, free free free. Well, I'm a

398
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 1: single white male with forced lung disease. How is that

399
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I cannot get disability? I went to the story, I said,

400
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: barely afford bread. Someone was in there with two shopping

401
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: cards full of groceries. I'll give you one guess how

402
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: she paid for all of that. That's right, over seven

403
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: hundred dollars worth of food. I have Stage four lung disease,

404
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: den I disability and can barely afford bread. I'm bound

405
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: to about ninety five pounds and literally starving every day.

406
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Not sure how much time I've got left, but starving

407
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: to death with a nasty disease not a pleasant way

408
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: to go. PS. Please make this make sense, Vince. I'm

409
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: doing my best. My heart cries out for you, brother,

410
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: Yeah it does.

411
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: And so we're gonna say a prayer for you. Here,

412
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: the family of Reps say a prayer for Vince, would

413
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 2: you please? He needs some hope today.

414
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: Casey Brandaw writes this as a senior citizen. My biggest

415
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: concern is property taxes. They've doubled since the pandemic and

416
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: going higher again this year. I live in Maine. We're

417
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: definitely on the skids here. Look, property taxes have become

418
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: a big issue for folks, especially older folks. You've paid

419
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: for your home, you paid off your mortgage, you did

420
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: the hard work, and the government still wants to take

421
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: your house if you don't pay the taxes that they

422
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: raise every year.

423
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

424
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: That's why in Michigan there is a movement of foot

425
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: to end property tax altogether, with an initiative that'll be

426
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: on the ballot next year. We hope, John de Bresnik,

427
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: that's as close as I can come. John, doing the

428
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: best I can. Me and my wife are aut Obamacare.

429
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I'm retired, won't be able to get Medicare until August.

430
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: My wife is going to get Social Security. In March,

431
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: she'll be sixty two. Our insurance is now at four

432
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. It's going up to thirty four

433
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month when we got on Obamacare because

434
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: she had a pre existing condition. She's not on disability.

435
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: There's no way we could pay that much for insurance. Again,

436
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: this brings me back to send the money to the people.

437
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: That's the proposal there. Send the money to the people.

438
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: Make the insurance companies bid for your business. We've got

439
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: to be able to do better. Hope in Iraki, she

440
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: has this for us. Where were all the screeching Democrats

441
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: and mainstream media when the Biden demonstration caused the inflation problem?

442
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: Now they want to blame President Trump and his administration

443
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: for not fixing it fast enough. If it weren't for

444
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: double standards, then the left would have none. I agree

445
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: with that. Remember inflation went over nine percent during the

446
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: Biden administration. They're doing their level best to get it back.

447
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: But come on, folks, takes a little bit of time.

448
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: Have some faith, would you please? Michael Carriage writes this,

449
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: as I surveyed the endless discussions on the merits of

450
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: thirty versus fifty year mortgages. The point that keeps getting

451
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: overlooked is clearingly obvious. There was a time when all loans, auto, mortgage,

452
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: et ceter were predicated on the principle simple interest. This

453
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: meant that with each payment, a fixed portion of the

454
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: principle went down. The banks conspired to institute the concept

455
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: of amortization, where they would profit by front loading the

456
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: interest to prolong.

457
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 2: The prepayment debt.

458
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: So the issue is not the length of the mortgage term,

459
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: but the amortization process, which was instituted to become legalized

460
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: loan sharking by the financial institutions. This is the real issue.

461
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: If mortgage loans were to go back to the simple

462
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: interest loan payment models, well things would be better. Home

463
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: ownership and mortgage payoffs would accelerate, and people would own

464
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: their home sooner and not pay three to four times

465
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: the amount of the actual original cost.

466
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: It is loan sharking and legalized theft. Period.

467
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: I've illustrated this fact that everyone that this amortization scheme

468
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: must end advice to all mortgage just has a tax

469
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: right off over thirty years as a joke. You own

470
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: nothing until you fully own something, so make mortgage payoff

471
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: full ownership a priority one issue, not a thirty or

472
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: fifty year bleedout. You know what, I don't know because

473
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm not a banker. I don't know because I'm not

474
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: a finance guy. So I need some other folks out there.

475
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Send me an email Steve Grouber dot com tell me

476
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: if what he had just explained there is accurate and right.

477
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: I want to fact check that to make sure that

478
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: we're on the same page. If it is true, well

479
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: we need to change some rules, and don't we. Brenda

Speaker 2: It's gone up about thirty percent. Plus.

483
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: Everything I have has gone up, have not gone down.

484
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Gas has gone down to twenty five the other day,

485

489
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: petitions to end property tax.

490
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,360

Speaker 1: Carlo Wagner property tax is the biggest threat to seniors

495
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: being able to stay in there paid four homes. I agree,

496
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: this is an issue for seniors being forced to pay

497

Speaker 1: property taxes that are raised when they're Social Security. Other

499
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,600

500
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: Send me those notes. I'll read them right here from

501
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: time to time. Don't go anywhere. This Black Friday edition

502
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: of America's Voice Live will continue after a brief break

503
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: where I'll bring on Ben Berkwam to discuss President Trump's

504
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: success at the border. Stay tuned, we'll be right back

505
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: and welcome back to this Black Friday edition of America's

506
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Voice Live.

507
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things I'm thankful for this

508
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: time of the year, a secure border. I think we

509
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: all are.

510
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: America's border is the most secure it's been in over

511
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: fifty years. It's all thanks to President Trump and his

512
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: America First policies. That's clear. The previous administration allowed hundreds

513
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: of thousands, I mean really millions of illegals to come

514
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: into the country, from everyday normal people to violent gang

515
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: members and everything in between. Right everything between. We don't

516
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: really know. Now that we have a president who allows

517
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: ICE to do its job. We're seeing the deportation of

518
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: illegal aliens with ties of Trende Aragua, the cartels, other

519
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: violent gangs from around the world.

520
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: Yet we're seeing it all.

521
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: Going out to discuss this further, a man who's been

522
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: on the front line through it all, Real America's Voice

523
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: correspondent and the host of Law and Border, Ben Berkwan,

524
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: been nice to see you and Happy Thanksgiving.

525
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, happy Thanksgiving, and and he has risen.

526
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 8: We're heading into Christmas, don't I don't go shopping on

527
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 8: black with black shirts. So that's that's my black that's

528
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 8: my Black Friday celebration.

529
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm shopping on Black Friday from my computer as I

530
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: usually do, just you know, I just stay right at home.

531
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: Then there's no argument that this president has changed the

532
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: trajectory of where we were headed as a country. Some

533
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: people put it as high as twenty million, some people

534
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: put it lower. We don't really know. That's the problem.

535
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: We don't know who came in our country during the

536
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: Biden administration, do we.

537
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 8: No, We're starting to and this is what's crazy about this.

538
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: Steve is I'm riding out there with Ice and border

539
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 8: patrol and the people were picking up. It is shocking

540
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 8: the illegals that Joe Biden led into our country that

541
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 8: were basically waved in with with no background checks, and

542
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 8: now we're finding out many of them. You know, I've

543
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 8: had red notices from Interpol on some of these guys

544
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 8: that were picking up that Joe Biden let into our country.

545
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 8: Thank God. You talk about Thanksgiving and things to be

546
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 8: thankful for. Thank God President Trump won the election and

547
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 8: it's not Kamala Harrison there. We would be dead as

548
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 8: a nation. And in some ways, I still, you know,

549
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 8: I still wonder how will we ever be able to

550
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: turn this around when you have these activist judges directly

551
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 8: assaulting President Trump and attacking his administration and trying to

552
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 8: undo all the good things he's doing. But again, thank

553
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 8: God for President Trump.

554
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: Let me point out something because people have a preconceived

555
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: notion about who the illegals are in this country.

556
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: The truth is they come.

557
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: From all over the world. It's not just from Central

558
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: and South America. And one headline caught my attention. You

559
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: probably saw it to this woman from Moldova accused of

560
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: flinging the United States because she had beaten a woman

561
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: and tortured her, beating her with electric lines and so

562
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: forth with electric lines, and then threw her off a

563
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: nine story building to kill her. Right, I mean, this

564
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: is one of the people that was let into our

565
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: country illegally. And thank God for ICE for finding people

566
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: like this.

567
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 8: Right Yeah, And every single day we're I'm riding with

568
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 8: these guys, and that's what we're finding.

569
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: We're finding.

570
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 8: You know, this was their original target from the beginning,

571
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 8: going after the worst of the worst. President Trump and

572
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 8: Tom Holman. That's what they tasked ICE with because the

573
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 8: numbers are so vast. You say, you know, how do

574
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 8: you deal with this? It's kind of like eating an elephant.

575
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 8: You have to do it one bite at a time.

576
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 8: In this case, you're going you know, they're going after

577
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 8: the worst of the worst. They're trying to get the

578
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 8: worst of the worst. And as they're doing that, they're

579
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 8: getting obstructed at every turn. You have these activists across

580
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 8: America trying to protect these illegals. I had one case

581
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 8: where we had we were surrounded by activists. We had

582
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 8: an illegal alien in a house who was known a

583
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 8: known gang member, cartel member had been convicted of multiple

584
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 8: gun charges, was thought to be involved in multiple homicides,

585
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 8: and we were not able to catch that guy because

586
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 8: the last leftist activists that surrounded our car and obstructed

587
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 8: ices operation.

588
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: So this is happening every day.

589
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 8: Every single community across America has violent criminal illegals in

590
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 8: their neighborhoods, and it's President trump job, in this administration's

591
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 8: job to go get them. But sadly, every day they're

592
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 8: getting obstructed by traders in our own country. It's really,

593
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 8: it's really a shame. And that's my big thing. If

594
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 8: we can change one thing this year. I don't I

595
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 8: don't do New Year's resolutions, but I will say if

596
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 8: we can change one thing going into this new year,

597
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 8: it's to get to actually see prosecutions against these traders

598
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 8: in our country.

599
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's true, and we are going to have the worst,

600
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: the worst, because look, I don't know if you ever

601
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: reverse course on twenty million people, whatever the number is.

602
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: Ben I'm going to go twenty million in the country illegally.

603
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever get all the way there.

604
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: You might get part of the way there, and hopefully

605
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: we'll find that people like those horrible murderer from Moldova

606
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: and others, gang members, drug dealers, child rape, us, all

607
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: of it. But we haven't get all the way back

608
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: to where we started when Joe Biden first stumbled into

609
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 1: the Oval office.

610
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 8: No, I don't think so, and I honestly look I

611
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 8: look at this pragmatically as President Trump probably looks at

612
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 8: it as well. You do everything you can ever redecision

613
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 8: you make, you think what's best for the American people,

614
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 8: and at some point the dollars and cents you get

615
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 8: rid of the worst or the worst.

616
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: But this really.

617
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 8: Comes back to we have to in twenty twenty six

618
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 8: elect enough, get rid of enough Rhinos in the House,

619
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 8: and elect enough Maga Republicans in the House in the

620
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 8: Senate to actually make some of these things permanent, because

621
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 8: if we don't do that, four years from now, we

622
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 8: could be back in the same boat or in a

623
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 8: worse situation. So that's really what this is about. It's

624
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 8: about making permanent changes. So we've stopped the bleeding. President

625
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 8: Trump did that. Border Patrol has done that on the

626
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 8: southern border and the northern border. But it's all about

627
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 8: making these changes permanent and eventually, you know, getting rid

628
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 8: of that wound that's been created in our country. But no,

629
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 8: you're right. I don't think you ever get rid of

630
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 8: all twenty million of them. But what you do is

631
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 8: you try to prevent the most harm possible.

632
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: I agree with that.

633
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: Look, there's some proposals being put forth that they can

634
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: never be citizens, but they can be here legally if

635
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: they've been here for some extended period of time and

636
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: they have not created a problem or committed a crime.

637
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: I think the conversations we're gonna be forced to have

638
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: because otherwise we're gonna be chasing our tail for a

639
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: long time.

640
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: Ben, I'll give you the last word.

641
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, we could have those conversations at some point, but

642
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 8: it's premature to having Now.

643
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: People always start with that. I say, we start with.

644
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 8: Deporting everyone we possibly can, and then once we get

645
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 8: everything secure and we prosecute the traders that allowed it,

646
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 8: then we can have those conversations.

647
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: Fair enough, ben Berg kwam.

648
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: He's been on the front line of of well, he's

649
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: been from here to Central America to South American back

650
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: a few times.

651
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 2: Longboarding.

652
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: You can catch it right here in real America's voice. Ben, again,

653
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: have a great Black Friday.

654
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 2: We'll talk again soon. Thank you. Steve.

655
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: There you have it, Ben bur Kwalm everybody, I don't

656
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: go anywhere. This Black Friday edition of America's Voice Live

657
00:32:43,280 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: will continue after a short break. Welcome back to the

658
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: Black Friday edition of America's Voice. I hope you're all

659
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: enjoying some Thanksgiving leftovers. I know we are. It's been

660
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: a little over a year now since the nation elected

661
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to clean up the mess left behind by

662
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his far left posse of question about that.

663
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: In less than a year, President Trump has made great

664
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: progress toward making America great again, from securing the border,

665
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: to tackling crime, and even ensuring America's dominance on the

666
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: world stage for the use of tariffs, not to mention

667
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: the multiple wars that he has helped bring to an end.

668
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: Despite what the Democrats may say, President Trump has put

669
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: America first every step of the way. Is best he

670
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: could and I believe he will continue to do so

671
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: despite continuous backlash and apoplectic reactions from the far left.

672
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: Here'll be to discuss this as the president of the

673
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: Conservative Caucus. Jim Faff Jim, nice to see you here.

674
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: Good to see Steve.

675
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: Now the truth.

676
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: Is that Donald Trump's numbers are a little soft as

677
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: far as popularity goes and approval numbers go.

678
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: But it's because it never ends.

679
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: Lentless attacks on Donald Trump, the relentless court actions, the

680
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: relentless headlines, and the way they do things on sixty

681
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,840
Speaker 1: minutes or wherever, where they make it look like he

682
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: says one thing and does another. You know, at the

683
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: BBC this past week, they had to fire some people

684
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: because of the way they edited deceptively a conversation with

685
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump.

686
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: It just never ends.

687
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: There's a constant barrage of propaganda that's anti Trump from

688
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: the mainstream media.

689
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 2: True, isn't it.

690
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 9: That's absolutely true. He's been living under that for well

691
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 9: over ten years now. And the reason that it's happening

692
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 9: is because all of the foundational structures that had grown

693
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 9: in Washington up until the time in twenty fifteen when

694
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 9: he announced he was going to run for president. They're

695
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 9: threatened by him, so they need to destroy that because

696
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 9: they also know he's potentially effective and net Donald Trump's

697
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 9: been winning that battle.

698
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: He just has to keep fighting it.

699
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 9: And I think that they're there's actually some good times ahead.

700
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 9: He's smart enough to understand what's taking place, and determined

701
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 9: and principled enough, frankly to not let it get him

702
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 9: down and stay on track.

703
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: And of course he might be the one person that

704
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: can take the constant barrage and kind of let it

705
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: just run.

706
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 2: Off his back. Doesn't matter.

707
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: Look, let's talk about healthcare for a moment in this country.

708
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: He's done a couple of things that are pretty important.

709
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: He made a move with Trump OURX to bring down

710
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 1: prescription prices, so important fact that Mark Cuban and open

711
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: Trump hater, said, you know what, that's a pretty good

712
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: idea and brought his company to the table to help

713
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: Americans have much more affordable prices when it comes to

714
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: prescription medications.

715
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: He lowered the price of insulin.

716
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: He came in to lower the price of GLP ones,

717
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: weight loss drugs to help people that are battling obesity,

718
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: and all these things. And so those are all great

719
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 1: stuffs forward that I think will be noticed. And then

720
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: he put forth this idea that I think is a

721
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: great idea for a conversation. Let's stop sending all this

722
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: money through the Affordable Care Act that gets taken by

723
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: the insurance companies to make them fat and happy and

724
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: give it to the American people and health savings accounts.

725
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: I think this is genius.

726
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: You're going to see some legislation from the Republicans in

727
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: short order on this that is going to say, look,

728
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: let's move this forward and give Americans the choice of

729
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: what health insurance they want. I think it's going to

730
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: make the insurance companies compete. It's going to return the

731
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: free market to American healthcare. I think again, it's a

732
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 1: great conversation to have your thoughts.

733
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think with that they need to move

734
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 9: forward as well with aspects of Andy Biggs, Congressman from Arizona,

735
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 9: his repeal of Obamacare.

736
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: Listen, it's the season for signing up.

737
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 9: For healthcare on healthcare dot Gov, which I was taking

738
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 9: a look at myself and I'm like, I'm totally fed

739
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 9: up with that thing. Let me go find a private plan.

740
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 9: But you remember and realize that those plans have to

741
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 9: conform to Obamacare. When government gets in the middle of

742
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 9: these things, they make it more expensive and much worse

743
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 9: to manage. So it's great to see this idea that

744
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 9: Barack Obama built up that the hospitals and the insurance

745
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 9: companies would be able to take a massive cut off

746
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 9: the top of everyone's premiums and not have to compete

747
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 9: in the free market, keeping their prices down and working

748
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 9: with other inputs to keep the prices down. Obamacare made

749
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 9: us a social medicine nation.

750
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: It did.

751
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, I'll compare it to evs.

752
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: When your business plan is based on federal government subsidies,

753
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: that's no business plan. That's just a pilfering from the

754
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: American taxpayers. And I didn't realize recently. I guess I

755
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: had a misconception here. Only seven percent of Americans used Obamacare.

756
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: Seven percent. I mean, we can do better all the

757
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: money we spend for that. Come on, we can do better,

758
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: can't we? Oh, we surely can.

759
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 9: Every dollar that goes into a government program or is

760
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 9: expended through a highly regulated part of an economy is

761
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 9: always inefficiently used. If you leave it to individuals to

762
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 9: make the decisions that work best for them, they never

763
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 9: get it perfect either, but the kind of waste and

764
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 9: outrageous misuse of that money is highly reduced. And if

765
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 9: you have a short term problem with that, you can

766
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 9: fix it in the long run by making other choices.

767
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 9: Choice is removed whenever government is involved, and that's one

768
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 9: of the great that's the reason for the great failure

769
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 9: of Obamacare. And even if we went back to exactly

770
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 9: where we were before Obamacare that really did have some

771
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 9: of its problems and was kind of regulated, Heavenly, it

772
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 9: still was far more efficient because people were making their

773
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 9: own decisions every day. You always do better when you

774
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 9: get to make your decision at the micro level, right

775
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 9: where you're at. Then have someone from Washington, DC make

776
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 9: that decision for you.

777
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: Completely agree.

778
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 1: I got less than a minute here, but I want

779
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: to get you to weigh in on those twenty one

780
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: in New York City. By connecting with the idea of affordability.

781
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: Republicans should not ignore that. Conservatives should not ignore that

782
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: is going to be a major issue come the midterms.

783
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: I give you the last word, thirty seconds to you, Jim,

784
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: Absolutely listen.

785
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 9: Donald Trump has had fantastic success in the international stage

786
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 9: and we're all happy for it. But right now, our

787
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 9: entire focus is affordability. The FED chairman that he points

788
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 9: is going to be really important. And then we got

789
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 9: to keep working and hopefully Republicans that work with him

790
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 9: to reduce government that is imposed upon all of us.

791
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: Let us choose and the prices will go down. There

792
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: you go. It's always about the free market. That's what

793
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: powers this country. Less government interference, more personal choices. It

794
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: can only help us in the long run and the

795
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: short run too. Jim, thank you for being here.

796
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:48,880

802
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: about it after the break on America's Voice Flash.

803
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,320

808
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: a police department required a new canine member. That isn't well,

809
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: not your typical breed to say the least, but most

810
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: think of canine units as being German shepherds or bloodhounds.

811
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: The delver And police department set their sights on Ron Ron's,

813
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: How thanks to a nonprofit unbreakable. That's right for bull,

814
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: you got it and the Denver NPD. Ron had a

815
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: second shot at life. Good job Ron. After rigorous training

00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: and recovery, Ron was officially sworn in and given to

817
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: his handler, patrolman Tyler Malia, who noticed his apprehension given run,

818
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: breed and uncertainty that was well quickly dispelled after Ron's

819
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: nose helped a narcotic search in a neighboring town which

820
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: led to two arrests. Nice start, talk about a great

821
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: rookie year. Finding a purpose is always a wonderful thing.

822
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: And the kindness, the kindness shown by the Dunman Police

823
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: Department towards Ron the pit bull, reminds us what makes

824
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: America wonderful. Do not judge a book by its cover.

825
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: Well done, Ron, getting those drug dealers off the streets.

826
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,560

Speaker 1: I agree with you on that the madness. I never

841
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: went to those stores ever. I'd watched the videos though,

842
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: very entertaining. Yeah, look at it. They just tackled an

843

Speaker 1: old woman trying to get a television said, what is

844
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: wrong with me? Lisa ltea. Menars is my favorite store.

855
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: It's not worth it. Well, I see how some people

Speaker 1: feel that way. Boba JT Boba? Is that right?

857
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: Is that Boba? All right?

858
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:20,680

Speaker 1: Robert Kowalzik Minards Minards. That's two votes from Minards. One

862
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: for home Depot, Home Deepot. You have to pick up

863
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: the pace around here. You're going to be out class

864
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: here on Black Friday. Did you go anywhere today for

865
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Black Friday? I personally didn't. I've been here working for you,

866
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: Pat downing my couch. You know, Pat, With modern technology,

867
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to beat, isn't it.

868
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: You just sit here and go I'll take this and

869
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: this and this.

870
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: You know, a few years ago, I had a guy

871
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 1: tell me nobody will ever have groceries delivered because they

872
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: want to go to the grocery store. Well, that's proven

873
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: not to be true, isn't it. I think he was

874
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: off of that I couldn't tell you. I mean, I

875
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: love going to the grocer. I think the greatest thing

876
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,479
Speaker 1: in America is to go to a supermarket, the big

877
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: markets where you can get milk and butter and meat,

878
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: and then you walk the other side of this ring

879
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: and you get dog food and cat food, and then

880
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,919
Speaker 1: you will get your paper products and heck, if you want,

881
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: you go buy tires. I think that's America encapsulated, the

882
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: free market, everything under one roof. It's remarkable something to

883
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: still be thankful for after yesterday. God, it's a great country,

884
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: and what a country. I love this country. I do.

885
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: That's why we fight for it here at Real America's

886
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Voice every single day. Whatever you do for Black Friday,

887
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: be safe out there, be courteous, open a door, say

888
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: thank you. It doesn't get done enough. Say thank you

889
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: to people that are working for you.

890
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 2: And be kind. How about that for Black Friday? Just

891
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: be kind.

892
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate you being here as always we do. My friends.

893
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: I hope you leave with a smile on your face

894
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: and we'll talk again very soon.

895
00:44:52,160 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 2: God bless America.
