Also, 28 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: I tay a look at the markets after a record 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: breaking day on Monday, great numbers amid President Trump's tour 30 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: in Asia, where he has already secured a five hundred 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 2: and fifty billion dollar investment pledge from Japan.

All that 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: and more coming away, But first I'd like to circle 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: back to the ongoing Schumer shutdown. 38 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: We are now in day twenty eight. If the government 39 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: shut down. 40 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: And for a half million government workers or more, that 41 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: means they've missed their first paycheck. The second paycheck is 42 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: about to be missed. It's the Schumer shutdown. Democrats refusing 43 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: to open the government, refusing to support a clean continuing resolution, 44 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: something they've always supported before. 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Always speaking, Mike. 46 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: Johnson says, it's ridiculous how stubborn the left wing of 47 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: Congress is acting at the expense on the entire country. 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 5: Listen, see, they've made an evaluation that they have to 49 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 5: appease the Marxist base, that they're so concerned that they'll 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 5: lose their jobs if they don't appease the far left 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 5: in their party. And they sat in a back room 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 5: and they made the calculation that they would rather shut 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 5: the government down and impose all this pain on the 54 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 5: American people because they believe the Marxists, the far left 55 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 5: in the base are more active than hard working Americans 56 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 5: people who go vote, And so they made the calculation 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 5: that it's worth it to them. Every day gets better 58 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 5: for us. We'll use the pain as leverage for what 59 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 5: to prove to the far left base that they won't 60 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 5: give in, that they'll fight Trump and fight their Republicans. 61 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 5: What are they fighting. It's a clean cr It's the 62 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 5: same level of funding that they have voted for as 63 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 5: recently as earlier this year. They are Biden level policies 64 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 5: and spending. 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: This is not some Republican wish list. We don't have 66 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: any of. 67 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 5: Our priorities in this at all. It's the Democrat's own product. 68 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 5: But they have decided to flip the script this time 69 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 5: because they were getting too much heat from the far left. 70 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Too much heat from the far left. 71 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 2: We're being held hostage by the far left in the country, 72 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: and like Johnson says, not even for anything we want, 73 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: and I say we because this affects us all. It 74 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: affects the families who won't receive any snap benefits next month. 75 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: And whether or not you think we should cut the 76 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: bloat and food assistance programs, some people really do need 77 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: the help they do. 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: It affects the food we eat. 79 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: The FDA is responsible for quality and safety, and they've 80 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: got thousands of people furloughed right now. It affects the 81 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: flights you want to take. We're already seeing massive delays 82 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: at some airports. It's inconsistent, but most of all, it's 83 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: gone very tangible suffering for the million or so workers 84 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: who are going without even while some of them show 85 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: up for work because they have to. 86 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: And now's as good a time as thatdy to remind 87 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: everyone that. 88 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: While air traffic controllers are showing up without paying members 89 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: of Congress sitting on their asses delivering sound bites while 90 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: they collect their paychecks without pause. 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: I've got an idea. I think you'll like it. 92 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: How about while government is shut down, none of us 93 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: pay taxes and they don't get paid.

When asked about that assinine comment, he 101 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: just doubled down on the belief that it makes his 102 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: party look better. 103 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: Does it listens? 104 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 6: Talk to us about your comments last week in an 105 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 6: interview where he sit in every day, and it's better worse. 106 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 7: The Republicans have seized on that be explain to the comment. 107 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 8: Look, every day, more and more Americans see how bad 108 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 8: this health crisis is, as they get their notices, as 109 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 8: they hear all about it, and every day they are 110 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 8: seeing more and more that Democrats are on their side, 111 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 8: fighting for what they believe is. 112 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it gets even worse. 113 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: House Minority Web Democrat Catherine Clark called the suffering of 114 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: millions of Americans leverage. 115 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: I know you've seen this before, but it's worth repeating here. 116 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 9: She is, I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course 117 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 9: there will be, you know, families that are going to suffer. 118 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 9: We take that responsibility very seriously.

How about does mom who's having 171 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: to hide her despair from her own daughter listen to this? 172 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 14: Federal workers leading in long lines at this food bank 173 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 14: in southern Maryland. 174 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 9: I would have been there for in a million years 175 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 9: that I would have been in this position to have 176 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 9: to go to a food bank. 177 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 14: Denise Blake says she drove over an hour to get here. 178 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 14: When she finally arrived, they'd run out of food. 179 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 6: Do you have a cart ready for you? Off front? 180 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 14: Fortunately she did not leave empty handed, but she still 181 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 14: faces the harsh reality of not knowing how she's going 182 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 14: to beat her family while she's not getting paid during 183 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 14: the government's shutdown. 184 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 11: I don't want my daughter to send me Kriyath. 185 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the point has been made. 186 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: These people are getting pay stubs with a fat and 187 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: zero on them. Many of them will still have it 188 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: to show up to work because if they don't, they'll 189 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: lose their jobs. 190 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: Remarkable, isn't it. 191 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: Or Democrats continue to stone wall and behalf illegal aliens 192 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: who want free healthcare in the left wing factions of 193 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: the party who care more about that than the Americans 194 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: are actually contributing to society every single day. And let's 195 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 2: be clear, this is just another attack on America first priorities, 196 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, President Trump is 197 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: fighting for is better healthcare for American citizens by cutting 198 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: out the waste, fraud, and abuse the Democrats want to 199 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: put back in all of it. 200 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: Here's more the Democrats. 201 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 15: You just do a simple extension. That's the best way. 202 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 15: The Democrats are holding it up. They want one point 203 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 15: five trillion dollars from people that came out of prisons 204 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 15: or illegal aliens that come into our country. And we 205 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 15: don't want to do that because that will help really 206 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 15: hurt the healthcare that we have in our country. And frankly, 207 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 15: you would like to see better healthcare, period. 208 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: We're not looking to do that. 209 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 15: The Democrats can solve that problem with air traffic control, 210 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 15: will they have to do saying the country's open, we 211 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 15: only need five votes. The Republicans are with us. We 212 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 15: really need five montes. So let's see what happens. I 213 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,359 Speaker 15: would imagine that gets taken care of, not only the controllers, 214 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 15: what other people do. 215 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 2: Like I said yesterday, I've I'm saying from the beginning 216 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: for twenty eight days now. At the heart of it all, 217 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: this is a Democrat created problem. They can say otherwise, 218 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: but the truth is not on their side. The Affordable 219 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: Care Act Obamacare is a broken system that is once 220 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: again failing Americans and Democrats fighting to keep it broken. 221 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: But why now? 222 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: Why put up this fight now over a clean continuing 223 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: resolution the Democrats have always argued should be pushed through. 224 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: It comes back to polling. How the Democrats want to 225 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: be perceived. 226 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: Secretary Scott Bessant points this out in this comment is 227 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: trading off his poles. 228 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 16: What's different than when he passed the clean CR in 229 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 16: the spring. 230 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: It's his polls. 231 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 16: You know, we're the whole country's being held captive to 232 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 16: AOC's polls. But let's look at the numbers, it's fifty 233 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 16: two to three. Fifty two Republicans have voted. I believe 234 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 16: it's eleven times to reopen the government. Three Democrats have 235 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 16: And right here, right now, I would urge moderate Democratic 236 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 16: senators to come across the aisle reopening the government because 237 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 16: I'll tell you, we're starting to eat in the muscle here. 238 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 16: This is starting to affect travel, is starting to affect 239 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,239 Speaker 16: the economy, and you know this is kixotic. 240 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can hear the NBC hosts trying to quickly 241 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: wrap up because the secretary was just making too much sense. 242 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: She didn't like it. 243 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: But the rest of the American public, outside the fire 244 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: left and the chronically online, the rest of us get it. 245 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: Despite Schumer's believe that this is making them look better, 246 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: we see just how desperate and selfish politicians really are. 247 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: The only ones saving face of those moderates that Secretary 248 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: Besant was talking about, one of them being Senator John Fetterman. 249 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: That's right, John Fetterman, the one the guys is making 250 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: sense for the Democrats. Whoever would have thought that? Here 251 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: he has a message for his Democrat colleagues. 252 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: Listen. 253 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 17: Twenty three days, twelve votes, Center Federer and I have 254 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 17: both voted to open up the government. We agree on 255 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 17: that one hundred percent. It's really starting to hurt Pennsylvania. 256 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 17: In Pennsylvanians, air traffic controllers, border patrol. 257 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: And also two million recipients of SNAP. 258 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 17: We've got to get the government open. That's our main responsibility. 259 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 17: And I'd say that regardless of what parties in the majority. 260 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 18: So I think we both this. Our votes are about 261 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 18: country over party at this point. And now we have 262 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 18: two million Pennsylvanians that rely on SNAP. 263 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: That's gone to stop. 264 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 18: And now you can now stop, reopen this government and 265 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 18: have an earnest conversation about extending those text credits. 266 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: You know, I really, we. 267 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 18: Know we're going to participate in this process. That's why 268 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 18: we both vote to open up our government. We're in 269 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 18: a different party, we're on the same team for Pennsylvania 270 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 18: and our nation. 271 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 2: Sadly, it's a dying message country over party. But hopefully 272 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: Fetterman's stand might inspire a couple of his colleagues to 273 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: do the right thing to cross the aisle. They only 274 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: need five Democrats and adition what they had. 275 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: To make it happen. 276 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of hope and Democrats were 277 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: gaining their sanity. 278 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: But you never know. 279 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: This shut down we'll end one way or another, and 280 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: Democrats will only remember it as their great stand against 281 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: a president that the American people voted for overwhelmingly, but 282 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: who they hate, while the rest of America will remember 283 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 2: the food bank lines, the zero dollar paychecks, the canceled flights. 284 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: It's a lose lose for Democrats and for America. I 285 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: can assure you of that we must do better. Coming 286 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 2: up after the break, I'll bring on Congressman Julia Letlow 287 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: of Louisiana discuss multiple topics, including the ongoing discussion of 288 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 2: the government down, as well as President Trump's tour in 289 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: Asia and the deals that he's getting details. 290 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: Straight ahead, all right, welcome back to America's Voice Live. 291 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: I'd like to continue the discussion of the Democrat led 292 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: government shut down caused by Chuck Schumer as far left 293 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: posse who seem to care a lot more about illegal 294 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: aliens than they do about their own citizens. It's americans 295 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: employed by the federal government continue to suffer without a paycheck. 296 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: The Democrats show no sign of coming together as a 297 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: nation to reopen the government. Here with me to discuss this. 298 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: Congress Foman Julia Letlos. He represents Louisiana five in Congress. Julia, 299 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: thank you for being. 300 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 13: Here, Thank you for having me on. 301 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: Steve. 302 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about this. You've got people that 303 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 2: are going to miss their second paycheck. You've got people 304 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: that are doing things like door dash to try to 305 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: make ends meet. Because if you work for the TSA, 306 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: or an air traffic controller or a whole host of 307 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: other jobs, you can't not show up because they'll fire you. 308 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: You're getting no paycheck, but you're required to work. Assertion 309 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: might be that maybe members of Congress shouldn't get paid 310 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: during the shutdown. What do you think of that? 311 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 13: I completely agree, and I've actually asked that my paycheck 312 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 13: be withheld. If we're talking about federal employees not receiving 313 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 13: their paycheck but being required to show up on the job, 314 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 13: I definitely should not receive a paycheck as well, and 315 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 13: that goes for every congress member. The onus of this 316 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 13: shutdown falls squarely on the shoulders of Democrats, the House 317 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 13: of Representatives. 318 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 6: We have done our jobs. 319 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 13: We did it twenty eight days ago when we passed 320 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 13: a clean CR and send it over to the Senate. 321 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 13: The Senate Democrats are holding our country hostage. My heart 322 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 13: goes out to those who are in need, those who 323 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 13: in my district, who I'm talking to on a daily basis, 324 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 13: who are terrified that they are not going to receive 325 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 13: their snap benefits, quick benefits. Those are real fears that 326 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 13: we are having real conversations with people in my own district. 327 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 13: That falls squarely on the show shoulders of the Democrats. 328 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 13: All they have to do is pass that clean ce 329 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 13: or reopen the government so we can get back to 330 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 13: work for the American people. 331 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 332 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: Whoever thought that John Fetterman, the Senator from Pennsylvania, would 333 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: be the voice of reason inside the Democrat Party. He's 334 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: voting to reopen the government every single time. You need 335 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: five more to join the group to get it to 336 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: sixty to get it passed. And yet here we are, 337 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: day twenty eight. I don't see an end in sight, 338 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: do you. 339 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 13: I hope there's an end in sight. People are depending 340 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 13: on it. I applaud a Senator Fetterman for doing the 341 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 13: right thing. I encourage, I strongly implore five more of 342 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 13: his colleagues to do the right thing, come over to 343 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 13: his side and reopen the government. We desperately need to 344 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 13: get back to work for the American people. Day twenty 345 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 13: eight is way too long. It is time for us 346 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 13: to go back to work. 347 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I lector shift gears now a little bit. 348 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: You're probably paying attention to Donald Trump touring Asia right now, 349 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: securing some big deals along the way in Malaysia. 350 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: Just got a five hundred and fifty billion dollars deal. 351 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: In Japan. 352 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: Apparently there could be a Ford f one to fifty 353 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: dealership there sometime soon. It's also a big important note 354 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: that they're going to be buying soybeans. We cannot be 355 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: so reliant on China to buy so many different things. 356 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 2: We have to cut that cord. I think President Trump 357 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: working actively to make sure we have other outlets, other markets, 358 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: not only for ag products, but for all sorts of products. 359 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,479 Speaker 1: That's a good thing, isn't it. 360 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 13: Absolutely Nobody does it better than President Trump. He truly 361 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 13: knows how to make those deals and impactful deals for 362 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 13: our country. You know, I tell all of my constituents 363 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 13: here just hang tight. 364 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 6: He is a master of the deal. 365 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 13: He knows what he's doing, and it will pay off 366 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 13: for the American people. My number one industry in Louisiana 367 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 13: is agriculture, and we're already seeing that play out and 368 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 13: comes true in my district alone. So could not be 369 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 13: proud of the world work that the president is doing 370 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 13: nationwide but also globally as well. 371 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 372 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and brokering peace deals along the way, getting a 373 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 2: chance to witness Cambodi in Thailand signing another piece deal 374 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: that he had helped to broker. I mean, this is 375 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: a peace president, a prosperity president who's doing the work that. 376 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: Needs to be done. 377 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: And the Democrats want to talk about a ballroom. Seems 378 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: like an odd priority, doesn't it. 379 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 13: Absolutely, it's astounding to me that that is their number 380 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 13: one complaint. There are so many wonderful things that the 381 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 13: President has been able to accomplish, and I know, as 382 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 13: a mom with a young son myself, no one wants 383 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 13: to see our young men have to go off to war. 384 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 13: This is a president who believes in peace through strength, 385 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 13: and he is showing that on the national and global stage. 386 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 13: For once, we are seen as powerful and strong the 387 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 13: way that America should be the greatest country in the 388 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 13: world world and we have the greatest leader leading it. 389 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: Now. I want to ask you about something else. 390 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: Several states now playing games with the redistricting, and I 391 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: don't know if it's really games. You have one hundred 392 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 2: and fifty five million Americans today that have zero representation 393 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 2: by Republicans in Congress, one hundred and fifty five million. Conversely, 394 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: there are only fifty five million Americans represented by Republicans alone. 395 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: So states like North Carolina and Indiana are stepping up. 396 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: Now Virginia is getting involved. But the real case comes 397 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: back to Louisiana, where the Supreme Court is evaluating a 398 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 2: case where Louisiana has filed suit to say, look, you 399 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 2: cannot dictate to us. We have to draw congressional districts 400 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 2: based on race. If that happens in Louisiana wins, which 401 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: I believe they will, that'll bring twelve seats roughly to 402 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 2: the Republicans. I think the Democrats are finding a losing 403 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 2: war here. 404 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? 405 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 13: Yes, we are anxiously awaiting that ruling from the Supreme Court. 406 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 13: If it goes our way, it will stand reverberations across 407 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 13: this country that districts should not be drawn on race alone. 408 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 13: So we are all anxiously awaiting that ruling to see 409 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 13: how it will affect a Louisiana, but not only Louisiana, 410 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 13: a nationwide. So I agree with you that will be 411 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 13: a landmark case for the Supreme Court. And it all 412 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 13: started in Louisiana. 413 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll impact Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee. The list goes 414 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 2: on where they've been forced to create congressional districts based 415 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 2: solely on race. I think it's unconstitutional and the illegal, 416 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: But we'll see how the Supreme Court rules. But I 417 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: feel pretty confident about that last thing. You recently penned 418 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: a letter to the Secretary of Homeland Security Christy No, 419 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: I'm calling for a briefing regarding the participation. I'm an 420 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: illegal alien in your district who participated in the Hamas 421 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: led October seventh attack. I couldn't believe this when I 422 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 2: heard this story there it is this person was participating 423 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: as one of the terrorists murdering innocent people. 424 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: How did they end up in Louisiana. How did this happen? 425 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 13: That's exactly what we're trying to find out under this 426 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 13: prior administration. How someone who was part of the October 427 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 13: seventh attack at a part of Hamas ended up in 428 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 13: Louisiana is terrifying. It should be terrifying to all of 429 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 13: us nationwide. It definitely is in Louisiana. We are definitely 430 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 13: are My colleagues and I are seeking answers as to 431 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 13: how that happened. We're waiting to hear back from the Department. 432 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 13: I'll let you know what we find out. 433 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: Congre, someone greatly appreciates you being here. Is always nice 434 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: seeing you again. 435 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: A lot happening, and I'm sure we'll have updates on 436 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: all of it in the days to come. 437 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: Thank you sounds great. Thank you really appreciate it. All right. 438 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 2: Up after the break, I'll take a look at the 439 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: markets after our record breaking day yesterday with President Trump 440 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 2: on his agi A tour, He's already secured, as I mentioned, 441 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty billion dollars from Japan and more 442 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: one hundred billion from Westinghouse. The list goes on, details 443 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 2: coming up on America's Voice Live. 444 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: All right. 445 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: Not gonna kid you, It's gonna take some practice to 446 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 2: get this right, so bear with me. Japan has a 447 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: new Prime Minister, sonay A taka Ichi. 448 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty close. 449 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: Sonay A Takaichi, very conservative, focusing on eliminating immigration into 450 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: the nation of Japan. 451 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,239 Speaker 1: They never allowed much. She doesn't want any. She met 452 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: President Trump in. 453 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 2: Tokyo earlier this morning, praising the United States and signing 454 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 2: a deal to secure critical rare earth minerals. 455 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: It's a very big deal. If you didn't notice. 456 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: Yesterday, US stocks hit record prices across the Dow, the Nasdaq, 457 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: the S and P record numbers. 458 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: It's remarkable. 459 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: After President Trump and now stay positive trade negotiation with 460 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 2: China ahead of his meeting with Jijiping that's expected to 461 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: happen Thursday. The Dow rose more than three hundred points, 462 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: the S and P five hundred, jumped above sixty eight 463 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: hundred for the very first time, and Qualcom shares sorted 464 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: nearly twenty percent after announcing an acceleration of data center 465 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: chip production. 466 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it is remarkable. 467 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: All three major indices closed and record highs Friday as well. 468 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: It's one record after another of the Fed, by the way, 469 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: expect to cut rates tomorrow, even though they don't have 470 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: the numbers on unemployment because the government's closed inflation is cooled. 471 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 2: They do know that a Schumer shut down to late 472 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: CPI report, though is Amazon announce fourteen thousand job cuts 473 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 2: and sky Dance planned layoffs. 474 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: Gold remains just below four. 475 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: Thousand dollars now and out. It's Bitcoin risen above one 476 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen thousand. It just depends on where you look. 477 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 2: It depends on where you look. But the economy in 478 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: general seems to be strong in many sectors, and if 479 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 2: you invest in different places, if you've got some diversity, 480 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: you're probably pretty well in slave. 481 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: But you never know, there could be a correction. 482 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 2: Here to discuss what this means for the American consumer 483 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 2: is Anthony Esposito, founder and CEO of Ascalon's sixth Capital Anthony, 484 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: thank you. 485 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: For being here, Thank you for having me. 486 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: All right, So, gold was soaring up to about forty 487 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: four and a half. It's cooled off by five hundred 488 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: dollars an ounce. But all the indices, the S and P, 489 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: the NASDAK, the now all soaring crypto, including bitcoin, has 490 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 2: come back from where it was. It was not all 491 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: the way back to one hundred and twenty five thousand 492 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 2: a coin. 493 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: But regardless where you look at the economy right now here. 494 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: In the United States, a lot of things look pretty strong. 495 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: What is your take? 496 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 19: So I think we're probably in the further innings of 497 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 19: the market's bull run. We had a little bit of 498 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 19: a disruption with that tariff conversation earlier in the year. 499 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 19: That was more of a shock than a bear market, 500 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 19: and I think we continue to see that risk appetite grow, 501 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 19: so as the tensions on the trade front and China ease, 502 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 19: and as that fed conversation starts to look more and 503 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 19: more like there will be consecutive coming. You see capital 504 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 19: now start to come out of gold, which I think 505 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 19: is a temporary consolidation, even though it's been a pretty 506 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 19: dramatic sell off. I don't think that gold is done 507 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 19: with its run. But you see some juice come out 508 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 19: of gold, some flows come out of gold. You've seen 509 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 19: those head into the treasuries, which has brought rates down 510 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 19: on the ten year below four percent, which is what 511 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 19: we want to do. And you've seen the S and 512 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 19: P five hundred, for example. Equity markets continue to rally high, 513 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 19: at all time high. So we're seeing some shift in 514 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 19: assets and some movement from one class to another. Overall, 515 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 19: risk appetite is there. It is good. I find it 516 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 19: hard to believe that equity markets will fade heading into 517 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,239 Speaker 19: the end of the year. It's been a little bit 518 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 19: of a brutal year as far as volatility spikes. Everyone 519 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 19: wants to get paid and no one wants to tread 520 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 19: back down or retrace too far, because the higher and 521 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 19: the stronger we close, the better most money managers will 522 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 19: do and their investors will do. So as we get 523 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 19: to that kind of November into December turn, I think 524 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 19: we're in good position to probably add another two to 525 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 19: three percent of the market and close up there for 526 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 19: the year. Heading into next year, I do see us 527 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 19: kind of extended, and I do see some risk, But 528 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 19: right now, risk appetite is there and it probably continues 529 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 19: to be there through the end of the year. 530 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. 531 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 2: The present meeting was Jijingping on Thursday this week. There 532 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: is some discussion that the framework for a trade deal 533 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: is in place despite the fact that China's not buying 534 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 2: soy beans. They've done reasonably well. They're at an almost 535 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: fifty two week high, which is helping farmers here. Of course, 536 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 2: new markets in biodiesel and from Japan have help the 537 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: agricultural sector. 538 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: But what happens if China comes in and says, you 539 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: know what, we're ready to buy beans again. We're ready 540 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: to engage again. We're ready to get rid of some 541 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: of these tariffs. 542 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: If you have that and you couple with that with 543 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 2: a rate decrease from the FED, it can really rev 544 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: things up even more, couldn't it. 545 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 19: It definitely could. Look, we want trade to be fair, 546 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 19: and we want trade to be more tilted towards the US, 547 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 19: which it hasn't been. Right, So as we start to 548 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 19: reduce these trade deficits and we start to take some 549 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 19: income in from tariffs and we can keep trade functioning, 550 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 19: of course, it's going to be good for the US 551 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 19: economy and the world economy. In addition to that, we're 552 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 19: bringing in private investments. There were just private investments again 553 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 19: announced with Japan today, where we're bringing more capital onto 554 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 19: the shores of the United States. Rather than exporting our 555 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 19: wealth as we have done, we're now importing, taking on investments, 556 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 19: and that will help the economy growth. So they're all 557 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 19: good things. I think it's all moving us in the 558 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 19: right direction. Just remains to be seen how we work 559 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 19: out the final details with China, which will take some time, 560 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 19: and then how we move forward with these investments. Do 561 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 19: they come in, when do they come in and how 562 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 19: do we take advantage. 563 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, the problem with China is that they tend to 564 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 2: be I think the word is dishonest. They don't always 565 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 2: honor their deals, which makes it a bit unpredictable. 566 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: But I can tell you this right now. 567 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: That Dow went over forty seven nine hundred today, which 568 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: is a remarkable number, to say the least. I've never 569 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: seen anything like it. I don't know that anybody has. 570 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 2: So here we are with the remarkable number. There, the 571 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 2: NASDAK over twenty three thousand, almost twenty four and the 572 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 2: S and B over sixty nine hundred for the first time. 573 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: I mean, these are tremendous umbers. All right, So the 574 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: last question real quick about gold? You think that it's 575 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 2: going to continue to go. I've seen some predictions still 576 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: holding to five thousand dollars gold. Do you think that 577 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: that's a reality. What are your thoughts? Last question? 578 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: I do. 579 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 19: I think that if you look at real rates, so 580 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 19: inflation adjusted rates, if you look at the dollar, and 581 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 19: if you look at inflationary pressures global debt for example, 582 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 19: I think that you can see gold pushing through four 583 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 19: thousand to five thousand. I have gold on the near 584 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 19: term the trade signal for me at ascalon six has 585 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 19: shifted to negative, will be there for a little while. 586 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 19: But on the longer term, I still have positive signals 587 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 19: for gold, and I could see gold definitely moving up 588 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 19: towards the five thousand level. 589 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: And what's the longer term real quickly. 590 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 19: I think at that point you have to see what 591 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 19: it does at five thousand. I think the fact of 592 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 19: it getting there is qu over. 593 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: What timeframe are you looking at? 594 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 11: Oh? 595 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 7: I think. 596 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 19: I think a six to twelve month period with the 597 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 19: momentum that we have and the story not really fundamentally 598 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 19: have change. We're seeing a shift in assets now, but 599 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 19: the fundamental story has not changed. So six to twelve 600 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 19: month time period, I could see us up twenty percent 601 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 19: from here up towards five thousand. 602 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: Well, there you go, another big win. 603 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: Anthony Esposito, thank you for being here today, Founder CEO 604 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: ascalon six Capital, Good stuff.

I 633 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: don't know how many other networks are giving me at 634 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: this kind of time, but the violence and persecution of Christians, 635 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: specifically in the Nation of Night remains to be a problem, 636 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: as these cases have maintained prevalence despite President Trump's intervention. Yeah, 637 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: in Nigeria's Middle Belt specifically, there have been numerous instances 638 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 2: where Christian practitioners recount harrowing tales of massacres. We're heavily armed, 639 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: Fulani herdsmen and jihatas take it upon themselves to call 640 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 2: those just wanting to express their faith that's another word 641 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 2: for murder. By the way, realizing something has to be done, 642 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz has been active in his efforts to designate 643 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 2: Nigeria as a country a particular concern due to these 644 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 2: brazen and heartbreaking instances where religious freedom as being violent. 645 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: It is a genocide. 646 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty five thousand, that's the last estimate 647 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 2: we've seen, one hundred and twenty five thousand Christians murder. 648 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: Joined me to discuss this. 649 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 2: The president of some of the ministries, doctor Jeff Myers, 650 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: Doctor nice to see you. 651 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: We've had some of these stories on the program here. 652 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: We've heard from some of the people that have had 653 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: villages wiped out, ministers who have buried their well their 654 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: followers and their brothers and sisters. 655 00:31:58,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: It's just horrific. 656 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 4: It is horrific, Steve, And you're right, you are one 657 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 4: of the only networks covering this on a regular basis, 658 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 4: so congratulations for doing that. 659 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: There are more. 660 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 4: People who were killed this year who are Christians in 661 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 4: Nigeria than were killed in Gaza, and yet you'll hear 662 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 4: a one hundred stories about Gaza before you hear one 663 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 4: story about what's happening in Nigeria. Doesn't count as a genocide. Well, 664 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 4: it certainly is an Islamic versus Christian issue, and it 665 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 4: is the Christians who are being slaughtered. And there are 666 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 4: three different groups. There's Boca Haram, there are the Fulani 667 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 4: Hertsman as you mentioned, and there's also an ISIS affiliate 668 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 4: in Nigeria. So population is split fifty to fifty between 669 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 4: Christians and Muslims, and the Muslims in this situation are 670 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 4: slaughtering Christians at an unprecedented ray. The answer is very straightforward. 671 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 4: What we can do and I think Senator Cruz is 672 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 4: going to be bringing that up. 673 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: I look forward to that for sure. 674 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 2: Look, here's where I have a complete disrespect for the 675 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: United Nations. They have two jobs in their charter. Stop wars, 676 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: stop genocide. I don't know that I can think of 677 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: any instance in my lifetime where they've done either. The 678 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: Unite Nations is a failure. Why we support them and 679 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: pay the bills is beyond me. The United States, based 680 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: on Donald's performance and office, so far far better. 681 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: Equipped to try to sort these things out. What do 682 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: you say. 683 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 4: The United Nations serves at the interests of nations that 684 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: are not doing what is right. I think it's very straightforward. 685 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 4: The United States needs to be a moral leader and 686 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 4: in this situation, and what we need to do is 687 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 4: designate that Nigeria is a country of particular concern. That's 688 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 4: a State Department designation, and it sets in motion the 689 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 4: possibility that we can sanction them and use the other 690 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 4: tools at our disposal, economic and political, to force the 691 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 4: government out of Nigeria to step up and defend its 692 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: own people. Sounds crazy that we would have to do that, 693 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 4: but we do have the tools and waiting around for 694 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 4: the United nations to do something is. 695 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: Pointless, absolutely true. It's sad. 696 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 2: I hope that Senator Cruz can deliver us something here 697 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 2: and for those Nigerians, our prayers are with him. I'm 698 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 2: not sure what else we can do from this distance 699 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 2: with what's happening there, but it's an everyday occurrence, Jeff, 700 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 2: and we need to find a way to save those people. 701 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: They're being just murdered a wholesale I'll give you the 702 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 2: last word. Well, I'll tell you what the issue is not. 703 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 2: It is not climate change. This is why the Biden 704 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 2: administration was unable to deal with this situation because they said, well, 705 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 2: this is just climate change. The desert is encroaching on 706 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 2: the herding territory or the grazing pastures of the Filani herdsman, 707 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: and so therefore they're moving south and that creates tensions. 708 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 2: That is simply not the case. 709 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 4: And now people are starting to recognize no, this is 710 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 4: actually a religious campaign against Chris, nothing to do with 711 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 4: climate change. This is why the Biden administration totally missed it, 712 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 4: and hopefully the Trump administration won't. 713 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: Well, I hope you're right, because this is absolutely inexcusable 714 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: and horrendous Jeff, always appreciate you being here, Doctor Jeff Myers, 715 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: thank you. 716 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: Thanks Steve. 717 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 2: All right, don't go anywhere. America's Voice Live will continue 718 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: after a short break. 719 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 14: Well. 720 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 2: Debt, as you know, is unfortunately reality the lives of 721 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 2: far too many Americans thanks to predatory loans or credit 722 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 2: cards that give high limits, incentivizing one to overspend.

They came to us with about forty five 776 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 11: thousand dollars worth in credit our debt. They were both 777 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 11: working full time, working really hard. In fact, they didn't 778 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 11: even really know where that debt had built up from, 779 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,959 Speaker 11: and they just couldn't get out from underneath it. After 780 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 11: joining a relief program through Iconic, their monthly payments actually 781 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 11: dropped by about sixty percent, and within a few months 782 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 11: they said that they finally felt that they could breathe again, 783 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 11: like that brick was lifted off of their chest.

The Appalation Trail 856 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 2: is one of the longest continuous hiking trails that spans 857 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 2: two two hundred miles stretches across fourteen states, starting in 858 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: Springer Mountain, Georgia.

How long do you think democrats 875 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 2: plan to keep the government closed instead of negotiating, the 876 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 2: Trump pirates says, let them keep going, just digging a 877 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 2: bigger hole to climb out of. So true to that, 878 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 2: Boom writes this, they'll let the people on snap revolt 879 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 2: for a few days. Revolt.

If you didn't need sarcasm, writes, 882 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 2: until whatever elections are held this November are over, so 883 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 2: that's next week, you might be right, Ali G Sadly, 884 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 2: it seems Dems are going to carry on with this 885 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 2: charade until voters hate Trump. Most of the nation's curious 886 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 2: how a couple of crooks can stop the US government 887 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: from conducting business.

The Democrats will try 899 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,000 Speaker 2: to blame the Republicans for it, but the mainstream media 900 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: will clutch their pearls and freak out.
