reporting Well. The twenty twenty four presidential campaign is underway. Former President Donald Trump heads into New Hampshire Tuesday, hoping for another victory on his way back to regaining the US presidency after losing it to President Biden in twenty twenty under questionable circumstances. I might add, due to the ballid harvesting allegations caused by the long gone COVID nineteen empathetic, right, You remember that we may never
know for sure whether twenty twenty was stolen or not. But what we do know is that Trump is waging a comeback amid many attacks by the Biden administration's attempts to criminalize him unfairly with questionable indictments and unsubstantiated allegations of wrongdoing during and
after the twenty twenty election and the subsequent January sixth protests. Not only is Donald Trump waging a comeback politically, he's doing so amid politically induced criminal charges being brought about by the Biden administrations, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Biden's
in on it too. And as we've reported last week, the questionable legitimacy of how Special Prosecutor Jack Smith was appointed in the first place, due to his status as a private citizen at the time, which would have required his appointment by both the President and the Senate to be legitimate in the first place.
Nonetheless, despite the efforts of the Biden administration and Attorney General Barrick Garland's attempt to interfere with Trump's campaign by trying to have him criminally convicted for the part Trump played in the January sixth attenth to influence the Electoral College and send the twenty twenty election outcome back to the US Senate for a decision on its legitimacy, for which it was the right thing to do, but it failed
when instigators managed to turn it into a right I'm sure we all remember that well. Trump still continues his attempt to win back the presidency and save America's constitutional republic from being destroyed. Trump's campaign is simply the continuation of his effort to prevent the decline and fall of the American Republic from falling under the control of a stealth communist socialist takeover. You know, that's what's going on.
This year's campaign is really just another phase of Trump's efforts to save the United States from falling into a communist takeover from within. It was the very reason he ran for president to begin with, and is doing so again by seeking to regain the presidency this year. It's really no more complicated than that. If Trump succeeds, the American Republic and constitutional government is retained with freedom and justice. Fraud If Trump fails, it is the beginning of the end of
constitutional government here in the United States. As I have said time and time again, today's Democrat Party is no longer your grandfather's Democrat Party that sought to represent the American blue collar workers and help build the great American middle class. Instead, it has been taken over by the socialist and communists inspired operatives seeking to destroy the middle class and create a society of the haves and the have nots, as one would find in third world countries. Your freedom is a
threat to their dominance. So they want you to know your place and for you to behave yourself and do as you're told, not seek a better life for you and your families. And someone like Donald Trump comes along and gets in their way, and so they have to find a way to destroy him, and are doing so by twisting the law and using it against him. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what this is all about and why the Biden administration in the Democrats want to flog the country with uneducated, ill eagles to
replace American workers and destroy the middle class. Because of strong middle class with good incomes and opportunities for a better life, simply get in their way and slow them down from succeeding and dominating you and your family. Anyone who has ever worked hard and succeeded understands this. Trump's success in Iowa has opened the door for him to win back the presidency and retain the opportunities for all Americans
willing to undertake the challenges necessary for a better life. Whether we succeed or not really depends on maintaining a just and fair society dedicated to meeting the challenges of success by having leaders capable of providing the opportunities for those willing to undertake those opportunities. Well, what else is go going on this week? The news media is predicting New Hampshire's primary election on Tuesday may not be as overwhelming
for Donald Trump as Iowa was. I think that's propaganda. I think he's going to win big there in New Hampshire also, and I guess we'll just have to wait and see how it turns out. On Tuesday, Miss Haley beat Trump by one vote in Johnston in the one county in Iowa, Johnson County, depriving him of a clean sweep of all Iowa's one hundred counties.
Last week, he won them all. But Johnson County is the home of the University of Iowa, and according to press reports, is where Democrats crossed over and re registered as Republicans to vote for Haley in the only county he married. And as I said, by only one vote in that county and which where the University of Iowa is located, she got one vote. Can you imagine that in one party? But Trump cleared the He cleared the clear
last week in Iowa. Meantime, the New York City judge presiding over the defamation suit against Trump by Egen Carroll refused to delay the trial so Donald Trump could attend the funeral of his wife, Milania's mother on Wednesday of this past week. Imagine that you would have thought they would have, you know, let Donald Trump attend his mother in law's funeral instead of show up for trial. Trump's attorney, Elena Haba, got into an argument with Judge Lewis Kaplan
for refusing to delay the case. Egene Carroll won a multimillion dollar suit against Trump based on a decade's old event wherein she Trump forced her to have sex with him in an apartment store dressing booth, which Trump says never happened, and then she sued him again for claiming his innocence publicly after a jury, a New York City jury awarded her five million dollars. I guess she needs more money than that, doesn't she. My goodness, what's going on anyhow?
We'll be back with much more after these messages. We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime. That's the bottom line. If you owe the IRS five thousand dollars or more, don't call an unknown eight hundred number. Instead personally meet with us to review your IRS problem. And if you want to pay the IRS nothing or less than you owe, we can set up a fresh start agreement with the I R S. We can help you. Ladies and gentlemen can call us whole free at one eight six six seven
two eight three six nine seven. We're just trying to turn anppel into what dime. That's the bottom line. We will move down from them. We will. People can't even move free in the wall. That boom of meat on Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the bottom line. Your weekly report on k l v I that tells it like it is.
You know, the Texas National Guard ordered the US Border Patrol out of the park along the Mexican border down in South Texas, and it's now being occupied by the Texas National Guard. So I don't know how that's going to end up. Might be, you know, we have Texas is now beginning
to have a strained relationship with the federal government. Meantime, the effort by Governor Abbott to defend the Texas border from illegal immigration brings with it both praise and criticism, and the liberal news media was critical of it recently when the bodies of an adult female and two children were found in the Rio Grand near Eagle Pass. Of course, while such an event is tragic, it wouldn't have happened if the individual didn't attempt to enter Texas illegally to begin with.
The American people in general and Texans in particular, have a right to protect their property from this current invasion from everywhere in the world, and for the liberal news media to support illegal trespassing is irresponsible because that's what's going on meantime. As we reported last week on this broadcast, former Attorney General the United States Edwin mess along with two associates have brought a lawsuit as a friend of
the court, arguing, now, listen, this is important. I after we go over this again, they're arguing that Attorney General Merrick Garland did not have the authority to independently appoint Jack Smith special Counsel to prosecute former President Donald
Trump. Niece and company. Noted in the brief that Smith was appointed to conduct the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity, including former President Trump, violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the twenty twenty presidential election or the certification of the electoral College vote
held on or about January sixth, twenty twenty one. Right while Garland cited statutory authority for this appointment, me said that none of those statutes, nor any other statutory or constitutional provisions remotely authorized the appointment. His appointment, Smith's appointment by Attorney General Garland as a private citizen to receive extraordinary criminal law enforcement
power under the title of special Council. Smith is a private citizen and now and also when he was appointed, everything he's done thus far has been done improperly and should be ruled knull and Boyd, those indictments against Trump, everything he's doing trying to put Trump on trial in Washington DC. His appointment by Garland was done incorrectly, and therefore what he's doing is not just not kosher.
And even if one overlooks the absence of statutory authority for the position, there is no statute specifically authorizing the Attorney General rather than the President and the advice and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint a special counsel that way. In other words, Jack Smith should have been appointed by President Biden in staid, he was appointed by Merrick Garland, the Attorney General.
They went about it the wrong way. So technically the indictments in Washington D C are Urnul and Boyd. Under the appointment's clause inferior officers can be appointed by department heads only if Congress so directs by statute, and so directs specifically enough to overcome a clear statement presumption in favor of presidential appointment and senatorial confirmation. This did not happen, Ladies and gentlemen, No such statute exists
for the special Counsul Jack Smith. As how he was appointed. So they went about it incorrectly. I want to bring this up again and again because actually he does not have the authority in everything they've done thus far through Smith,
in the prosecutions of Trump, there's going to be rule Dolanvoyd. You wait and see me, said the Special Counsel if a valid officer is a superior or principle rather than an inferior, and thus cannot be appointed by any means other than presidential appointment and senatorial confirmation, regardless of what any other statutes say. So this issue is a big deal. I'm telling you right now,
it's a big deal. And even what they're putting trunk through the ring iron and all these prosecutions and everything that they're throwing at him, it's going to all be thrown out if they follow the law. Of course, you know, if it's lawless to begin with, then what are you going to
do. I just want to bring that up again because you know, when I reported it last week, I want to make sure that everybody understands and judicial economy also points toward the court deciding the appointments clause issue now, as otherwise Trump will simply raise it before the district Court. And you know, in other words, what the report here is saying, they better deal with it now because if they don't, Trump's going to bring it up later.
He's going to use it as later on on his own. He's going to bowl you know, appeals on it, and this thing's going to leaguer on. I don't think they're going to be able to beat Trump on this. I think in the end he's he's a fighter and he's going to find a way and listen to me, if we Americans don't come to our senses, it will be our own fault if we lose the freedoms our forefathers have bequeathed
upon all of us with the blessings of liberty. A day does not go by wherein we hear of more mouthfeasance on the part of the Biden administration, and the growing threat of anything goes liberal listen threatens our society in so many different ways. It's long past due that we end the rapid lawlessness and in morality which is destroying our society and bring that up. I wanted to say that this morning, because we're coming apart of the seams. If we let
all this this illegal assault continue, and it just it means. What it means is that we may have already lost our country. And I don't think we we should give up with with without even a whimper, because it's it's just frightening what's occurring right now. When we set money aside here at Asset
Growth Associates, we work with our clients. When we set money aside for our clients for future use, it's necessary that that money earns a decent return and both retains its value and grows so it's there when the day comes that
it's available for use. That's what we really do when we're not talking politics on the radio, and I wanted to bring that up, and I want to talk more about that a little later in the show and get as much in as I can because really an Asset Growth Associates, we're working very hard to make sure that our clients retain the money they work so hard for in saving their investment dollars. I'll be back with much more right after this.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen you're listening to. That's the bottom line. Your weekly radio broadcast on k LBI. That tells it like it is. You know, in a moment, I'm going to visit you this week's dirty little secret.
But I want to pick up on what I was talking of out right before the bottom of the art break about setting money aside for future use and make sure that that money earns a decent return and both returns its value and grows so that it's there when the day comes that you want to use that money. This is really our mission at Asset Growth Associates when we work with
our clients, and this is why we offer principal protection accounts. In our practice here at Asset Growth Associates. We do it so our clients can have the peace of mind to know their money can grow and keep pace with both inflation and also be able to grow without losing value when in a principal protection account. Now, we do all kinds of investing here in Asset Growth Associates.
We do market investments, we do everything, but we have a special liking for the principal protection accounts because we know that they provide long term safety, long term income returns, and allows a person to get through difficult periods like the market's been going through since the Mind administration took control of the country. So I want to get a plug in on that amid everything else that
we talk about on this report. I want you to call us four nine eighty four sixty nine hundred, that's the phone number to reach us, make an appointment with us, and let us share some ideas with you that have helped so many others in the past. And there's no secret about that. But now I'm going to give you the report that we do at the Bottom of the Iron on this show every week, and we refer to this report as the Dirty little secret, so listen carefully. Nikki Hayley was Donald Trump's
appointment to the United Nations. DeSantis was elected Florida's governor after President Trump endorsed him. Both Haley and DeSantis owe their present status to Donald Trump. Either one of them could have hung back and waited for a later opportunity to run for president instead of running against President Trump at this stage of the game, especially since they're running against Trump, who helped both of them in the past.
Nikki Haley served as governor of South Carolina, but only after Trump appointed her to represent the United States at the United Nations did she become much better known. Similarly, Governor Ron de Santis of Florida was helped when Donald Trump endorsed his candidacy and helped the Santa Say heretofore political unknown became he became Florida
governor. Also, it stands to reason that both of them would have likely found themselves somewhere within a second Trump administration should Trump succeed winning a second term in the White House, but instead both find themselves running against Trump instead of helping Trump. That's the point I'm trying to make many many from many a point of view, it makes both of them look ungrateful for the help they
both received from Trump when he was in the White House. Trump moves on to New Hampshire next week, where he very likely will defeat both DeSantis and Haley again. They Ramaswami, who came in last Denia well last week, wisely dropped out and a ordered his delegates to Trump. So Ramaswami may find himself. He's an ally of President Trump right now, so he may survive and find himself in a future Trump administration before either DeSantis or Hayley do.
As Trump moves on, we're seeing the feel perhaps clearing for him. For example, last week, revelations that Jack Smith's appointment as special counsel may have been done incorrectly and would force Smith's removal as special prosecutor, which in turn would automatically throw out the indictments Smith succeeded in getting against Trump in DC. Thus far that I just mentioned that, then the revelations that hit something else
that's going on. Things are starting to look a little brighter for President Trump. Believe it or not. You know, revelations this past week that Fulton
County, Georgia District Attorney Fannie Willis. She's the local DA who indicted Donald Trump and other members of his administration for allegedly attempting to overthrow the results of the twenty twenty election in Georgia were Now we're finding out that she was romantically involved with lead prosecutor Nathan Wade and allegedly allegedly Wade used money that he built
her district attorney's office for his work investigating Trump. Well, that money was used to take Fulton County, Georgia DA Fanny Willis on lavish vacations and now has caused Willis to be served with a subpoena to appear at a deposition in Wade's divorce proceedings and casts a new light on how she coordinated her case against Trump and the first place. And now she's created a conflict of interest which
would hurt her case against Trump in Georgia and others. That she's managed to get indicted on those highly questionable charges, it looks like the whole thing that they're doing to Trump, there's a possibility out there that everything is starting to fall apart. They thought that they can do to do this do him in and just plowed the constitution of the United States under and not have any consequences,
and they've got all these crooked judges supporting them. But it looks like the Constitution and the rule of law may still be strong enough not to be
trampled, at least I hope so. So it's possible the coordinated efforts from several different venues by crooked district attorneys colluding with Democrat Party officials in different states to accuse me of former President Trump of criminal activity is beginning to come apart and may be developing into a massive, coordinated conspiracy by Democrat elected officials and association with the Biden administration and use Attorney General Merrick Garland as their you know,
he's in on a two. As the possible conspiracy continues to unravel, a web of interstate political conspiracies to falsely take down former President Donald Trump, and it may soon be exposed as the country moves through the months ahead in the campaign to win the twenty twenty four presidential election, a web of criminal political conspiracies spreading across the country state by state. How have we come to
such a state here in the United States? How have we fallen? How's it been allowed to happen, so deep, so deep, a plot that even includes Biden and the illegal border alien invasion which is still going on. It's all part of the massive web of corruption to bring down the United States altogether and render our society into some sort of a desolation of abomination as have
never ever been seen before. Yes, and the traders within her everywhere within the federal government, which should be exposed and wake up patriotic Americans before everything is lost. It amazes me to know end that so much illicit and traitors activity continues to survive and thrive, but is ignored back right after this, We're just trying to turn a nickel into a dime. That's the bottom line.
This is Gene Valerati of Ascent Growth Associates. If you've been watching recent news, a few banks have had a run where customers panic and withdraw all their money at once, causing the banks to fail. If that isn't worrying enough. On January first, twenty twenty three, the Federal Reserve set a new low reserve trumpch for net transaction accounts to six hundred and ninety one point seven million dollars, meaning that banks with net transaction account balances up to this
amount are subject to a reserve requirement ratio of zero percent. You heard me right, zero reserve requirements. Forget fractional reserve banking. How about zero reserve banking. Why would the federal reserve create this environment of uncertainty? If this is of concern to you, and it should be, we can show you how to protect yourself and how to locate and utilize financial institutions with very real reserves, not zero reserves.
