All right, folks, what's happening right now in the United States is something to contemplate. In another desperate move to keep the US

Supreme Court a left wing, anti freedom court. The Democrats have given Joe Biden something to talk about in the waning days of his failed presidency because he's not running things anymore. Is Biden wants to overhaul the US Supreme Court and pack it with more left wing judges to keep attempting to suppress freedom. So that's really the big

news that's been occurring this past week. Biden's latest move is to overturn the Supreme Court's recent decision awarding former presidents immunity for crimes they commit while in office, and endorsed proposals for limits on highway Supreme how long a Supreme Court justice can serve. Supreme Court justice, as you know, serves for life, and now Biden wants to change it

from lifetime appointments to a term of eighteen years. Should such proposals reach the force of law, we would find that most outgoing presidents would have to undergo any number of charges in federal trials for actions they undertook as commander in chief and be arrested and put in jail.

So what you have here brewing in something the Democrats are cooking up, and what they want in their redoing of the American Constitution they want to put they want to pack the court, let's just put it that way. They want to put a lot of left wing judges on the court and so that they always have a

consumt majority. And then they want to make sure that when one of their political enemies serves as president, that they then can come after he or she after their term of office, bring charges against them, walk them up and throw the key away. Sounds like banana republics to me, but that's essentially what's occurring, and this is the undercurrent

of what's happening right now. Presidents would have to undergo any number of crazy charges and federal trials or actions that they undertook in the official capacity as commander in chief and be arrested and put in jail. For now, that's going pretty far, ladies and gentlemen. Was never supposed

to be that way. But if you run a political party like what the Democrat Party has morphed itself into, if you're running political party in that manner, than what you want to do is you want to just take full control three hundred and sixty five days a year, and you just want to be in control forever, and you want to eliminate any competition, and you want autocratic rule because it's just they just want to tear up the constitution and little bitty pieces and throw it out

the window. So coming up with such gimmicks as this is something to keep Biden busy, I guess, while the Democrats undertake the bigger task of trying to prevent former President Trump from retaking the White House. And despite what appears to still be in all clear on Kamala, you know, for seeking the presidency and the Democrat ticket, don't be too sure of it happening. Listen, she was never really intended to be Biden's replacement when Democrats force Biden out

of his re election wishes. Mala Perris is a far left creep that fits the bill of an evil woman constantly plotting and planning to hold on to power, But she was never selected to actually become the chief executive. Her first week campaigning has the liberal news media right now they're swooning over her. But facts, she is truly this that the facts point out that she's a pro communist dragon lady whom, if elected, would continue the derailment

of constitutional law in the United States. First, we have to stop the slide into socialism and communism and then destroy it from ever being able to threaten our way of life again. Most Americans probably agree with that statement. I just made you know we've been living We've been living through hell, you might as well say, during the

Biden administration. And the Biden administration has brought to bear a lot of t right and and with some help from above and the leadership of Donald Trump back in the White House, we Americans may be able to reclaim our opportunities for a better life. We're not there yet, trust me. Even then, it won't be easy, and without true patriots leaving the way, the odds will still be

challenging at best. I think most of us know the difference between right and wrong and know what is right has to make a comeback to regain normal lives once again. So please pay attention and not be misled by the leftist political class that keeps trying to bring down your freedom and justice and replace it with poverty and despair, because that's really what they're working on. We don't want to cross that into that boundary of no return. Trust me, we don't want to do that. Just stop and think

about what the Democrats have accomplished. They took out a sitting president, Joe Biden right, and maneuvered Kamala Harris into running for president. That was done internally, and they just made that little move quickly. And you don't hardly know anything about Kamala Harris's past. You're gonna find out though, in the weeks ahead. Now, will there be a counter offensive from somewhere else within the Democrat Party? What about

Joe Biden? For all his talk, he went out like a like a lit candle and a breeze, just poof. You know, I'm not going anywhere. I'm never gonna leave the presidency blah blah blah, and all of a sudden poof, He's done. At the moment. Donald Trump has survived an assassin's bullet and did so with diminished Secret Service protection. Now he survived all the vicious law there the Democrats

have been throwing at him, and he's still standing. Maybe maybe, just maybe somebody up there likes him and he has yet to fulfill his destiny. Trump meantime, is determined to return to Butler, Pennsylvania and rehold another outdoor political rally there. And then here's another question worth asking. Is the Secret Service doing an adequate job in protecting mister Trump? What

do you think? I know there are congressional hearings underway specifically on that subject, but from everything I've heard on television news, it sounded to me like mister Trump has like he was underprotected, and many have noticed a more humble demeanor when he speaks. Trump will keep pushing on and probably win come November, leaving behind a shambled and disarranged Democrat Party. Well we'll just have to wait and

see that that's how it ends. Okay, back right after these important messages, we're just trying.

That's you know, she's she's she's in the spotlight, boom honey moon time already and she hasn't even been elected. She's in the spotlight. They're just the news media is just treating her like like wonder woman, and I'm afraid she's far from from that. All the TV networks for carrying her campaign speeches this past week, carrying her speeches ad nauseam. Democrats have cast old crooked Joe aside and chosen his vice president to take his place in her

run for the US presidency. So they give old Joe some something. He's going to be busy coming up with some other communist ideas to get into. So you'll still hear from mimicationally that he's not going to be on the campaign trail anymore. They pushed him out and pushed Kamla Harris in. Now, the first thing we all have to remember about Kamala Harris is that she's hardcore leftist,

soft on crime, pop smoking liberal. Well, that that defines her. Okay, she's a soft on crime, pop smoking liberal, right, you know, and if you dietn't you know it? Now? As a prosecutor, she was not a champion of justice. No, as a California prosecutor, she was all in for being soft on crime. She's a left wing liberal, California Democrat, and she's for

open borders. I think we all know that. And when Biden appointed her borders are nothing happened except the massive, ongoing illegal immigration that today continues to threaten the well being of the unbalanced citizenship of the United States. Kamala Harris, if elected President of the United States, will fill the role of a soft on crime, left leaning democrat most Americans have seen this before, and as is always the case, such politicians bring with them more crime and more unrest.

If you're a hard working, god fearing American who loves his or her country and loves your family, Kamala Harris will raise your income taxes, send your jobs overseas, and squeeze you and your family right out of their middle class and possibly into a life of crime and tear.

Not much to look forward to. On the other hand, most Americans believe a second Trunk presidency will turn things around and lead to better wages and living conditions, with less crime and more protection from illegal border crossings, not to even mention less threats from foreign nations which harbor tare resells in the United States. Now there's something else to worry about, the reduction of our US military might in the world. They're disassembling our military might, Ladies and gentlemen.

There's a new arms race underway between the United States and our foreign adversaries such as China, Russia, and any number of terrorist organizations slowly but surely finding ways to continue slipping into the United States and bringing terrorism with them. Does anyone think a President Kamala Harris will secure our

borders against unchecked illegal immigration. Do you think so? We see these events unfolding before our very eyes, and while it bothers us, it slips away little by little until it becomes too big a problem and can no longer be ignored. They're turning this country or plowing us under. You know it as well as I do. They're just plowing us under. The sooner we have a government in place here in the United States, the better we will

be in more ways than one. Right now, the left is flashing smiling faces on your television screens, seeking you to believe they bring good, not harm. But they bring even bigger harm that our minds can conceive. For most of the past several years, we have seen the true nature of left leaning threats, where innocent Americans get caught up in riots and mayhem. If we don't stop it now, when will we be able to stop it? When can we stop this if we keep letting things run out

of control? Right? I don't have the answer. We can't wait until it's too late to start paying attention by having gone over, going over the point of no return. You don't want to go that far, do you? No? Now is the time the only time to begin the process of seeing to it that those individuals we elect the political office come to us with their best intentions and just kept with their best intention and not just to grab a few votes from us and continue the

destruction of the United States of America. We don't want that. They've told us what they want to do. They want to fundamentally change the United States of America. I can still hear Obama saying that I want a better future for all of us, not a dinner, harder one. That's the way I feel. We want a better future for us and our posterity. So as drum beats of political propagandas and empty promises dim our vigilance. Always remember that

freedom is never free. We earn it or we lose it based on our own abilities to recognize the differences flooding our way between truth and justice versus lives and deceit. Because in the end, that's going to always truly be the bottom line. Imagine that the bottom line really happening.

What's what's the real story that that's going on. You know, we've had this, uh ever since Trump was president the first you know, his first presidency, and we had we had things going pretty good there for a while, and boy, they managed to plow that under and the turn they turned, they turned it around almost overnight and created the the these depression era poverty and the people living in the streets, inflation where you where you can't afford to to buy

enough groceries, you're not paid enough to the inflation is eating away at the price of groceries. So you have to come up short on that. That doesn't sound like the land of milk and honey. To me, that's the right and it's not the land of milk and honey. Yeah, people that don't want you to live in the land of milk and honey. They want you to live in the land of the poverty, of despair. And so as we move closer to election twenty twenty four, and we're

getting there pretty quickly, aren't we. Time flies when you're having fun, we're going to find out that it's been a real struggle. And even though the odds would favor right now that Trump is going to win re election and he's going to get things squared away, well, I don't know that he's going to get things squared away. I don't know that for sure that he's going to

be elected re elected president of the United States. These are things that we have to really pay attention to, and we have to have these systems in place that actually prevent the voter fraud because if we don't do that, then it's just going to be more of the same and our lives are going to change dramatically. So remember that we'll be back with more right after this important message.

is my Risk number? Dot Com?

line radio show. You know, we all know most of the American news media lean's left in support of the Democrats, and this bias has increased in recent years. This contributes, as expected, to the polarization we are now plagued with in the United States. Now listen to me carefully. This is my opinion, and I'm sure you might find some agreement with it. In my opinion, it's caused primarily by

the underlying moral decline within our society. It's all part of the ongoing communist attempt to overthrow the US Constitution's Bill of Rights and subdue we the people, and erase the gains of freedom and alter our once proud American way of life and trample it into the dust heap of history. During the nineteen fifties, for example, the communist

threat was beaten back, but was not fully defeated. In the nineteen sixties, the Communist insurrection simply redesigned its strategy and began operating again, but this time more on the periphery of society, by beginning a new strategy of first corrupting the morals of America's youth through the mass media. In Hollywood, it began anew by encouraging opposition to the war in Vietnam and started promotion voting the use of

drugs and this call for free love. You, Jill Duff, you should remember that the strategy was the first corrupt America was The strategy was that it was first to corrupt America's youth by encouraging drug use, participation in the so called sexual revolution, and promoting the subtle but effective attacks on traditional social values such as marriage, raising children,

and attending church services. It was the attack on family values and participation in religious services that induced the breakup of family values and the distrust in all forms of authority in Hollywood's production of X rated movies, effectively helping change social mores. Such behavior was always around and shunned by most of society, but all that ended with the rise of headen miss and that which was that was the spark that ignited the generation of godless communism back

into the mainstream of life. I know because I was an eyewitness to the change. What was shunned and once carried out only on the in the dark was thrust into the mainstream and slowly but surely slithered up out of the depths of darkness to emerge freely again in the bright light of day. What was once thought of is disgraceful conduct by society, and years gone by is now it's thou considered mainstream. You don't need me to

tell you that, but it's true. And unless until we start facing the truth in our society, then our society will be well. Then we're on the road to tradition. We got a change, or that we're going the wrong way. And what's bad about all this? If we don't engage in reverse it again, the future will be bleak, and the enemies of freedom will have succeeded in reducing our opportunities and the future opportunities of our children and grandchildren as well. This is all part of the unending war

between good and evil. And now is this generation's time to engage and defeat it. So as they say, the future is now, and the decisions we make today will be the outcomes of what our lives will be like in the future. For those of you out there cheering on this nonsensical persecution of Donald Trump that is happening, you know it'll come back to bite you as well. This is a political prosecution. Everything they've thrown at that

man not legal prosecutions. And I hope everyone realizes this because if it succeeds, it will be opening a Pandora's box that will ignite, ignite happening again and again, you know, between political parties, will eventually destroy the country. We see the obvious crimes of the Biden administration. There're plenty bribes aiding the enemies of the United States, years of political corruption. Trump did not commit crimes by holding onto the records

of his administration as president. They president, all the presidents do. They hold on to build their presidential libraries, and they have three years to review them. So suddenly, you know, you have the US Department of Justice raiding his house and taking that taking those items from him. Well, you know, all that's passing away, and these attempts are starting to

fade into history. I think the last thing we have hanging in the balance, and is this business with the state of New York, New York City in Manhattan, with the Stormy Daniels events, right, and you know, so the last thing that we've got going on that another gauntlet for Trump to run is going to be the whenever Judge Marshan calls him back for sentencing on that rout

he was a convicted on in New York City. But if we Americans allowed these false charges to go forth on challenge, then we will deserve to lose our country. It's your country, ladies and gentlemen, and we all have a responsibility to preserve it. So anyhow, we find ourselves in these odd situations, ladies and gentlemen, because when we're looking at the world passing by, and we take this occasional glance out the window and we wonder, well, my gosh,

what's coming next. We seem to be struggling day to day to make ends meet, you know, to do our work in the world, to raise our families, keep our houses in good order, so to speak, occasionally buy a new car, so on and so forth, and it's hard to hold all that together and then pay attention to

what the political class is doing. And I'll tell you some of these people in the political class who are supposed to be representing your interests as citizens, well they're representing their interests as politicians and they are, you know, taking money under the table. They not all of them, of course, but you know, then enough of it goes on that occasionally they catch one or two of them, and when they do well, you know, they end up

in jail. And that's what makes makes it hard to get your full faith and credit of the people that you have representing us. So it's important that we pay attention to what's going on. And then it's also very important that we have honest, dependable, trustworthy people in the news departments in telling and telling us the truth and keeping us informed and not stretching it to make it look good for one political party and bad for another political party. Because that type of thinking is our cake.

It's not going to work. And I think that it's time that we stop paying attention to some of that skullduggery that's going on out there and hold some of these people's toes and the fire because they're not working for us. You know, we elect them to represent us, and they get paid darn good and well to represent us. They should be representing us. So anyhow, we're going to

take a small break again. And what I want to do is I want to remind you that you can call us during the work week four nine eight four sixty nine hundred, because when we're not on the radio, we're busy at our office working with our clients to help them enhance their investment portfolios, because that's what we really do for a living. Ladies and gentlemen. Soon in a few minutes, okay, so don't go away, We'll be right back.

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 a 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.

haven't we. We are in the middle of a political crisis, Ladies and gentlemen, and one which threatens a continual and unending decline in the financial welfare of middle class, hard working Americans. That's you. I don't want to be an alarmist, but the truth is, if the country continues its present course brought about by the incompetent by the administration, it ultimately will affect everyone's financial future one way or another.

Higher and higher prices for everything we purchase, unless buying power from the dollars we earn or have on hand. Hit The hardest will be those working Americans already retired and those nearing retirement. Investment success requires an investor to buy low and sell high, or to buy in smaller purchases over time. Yes, it's all about time. Ladies and gentlemen. To be on a fixed income at an older age with higher and higher prices obviously results in financial hardships.

Here's a solution. Transfer any accumulated four to one K money that you may have from your pension funds into a principal protection account issued through our work at Asset Growth Associates. We can help you do that. All you have to do is call us and we'll have the paperwork, if available, to help you do that. And then by doing so, the immediate benefit will be no more losses

caused by a fickle stock market. Because when gains are and added to a principal protection account, they become part of the principle and are retained without being subject to shrinkage. You get to keep all the money your account earns because these accounts, unlike typical investments, are immune from losses caused by stock market declines see simple statement, simple answer.

The account retains all gains that it earns. They don't go away during the next downturn, and this means when the current political chaos ends, people with funds and these unique accounts will be moving ahead while others are just trying to catch up and struggling to get back to even The principal protection account makes money but never loses money brought about by a stock market decline. These accounts are designed to grow over time without exposure to loss

caused by a stock market decline. Your account gets to keep all the money it earns. So why risk losing retirement or other savings accounts when there are plans available to keep crediting new earnings and retaining them. We Americans have to cope with the Biden administration for a few more months, and you know that's not going to be easy because they're going to want to hold on to power. Well he's not, he's finished, but you know he's got

Kamlin the wings there. She's going to come on and show you a whole new the whole a whole new side of socialism and communism, trust me, if she gets the chance. We don't want that, do we. No one knows the future. And there's an old saying which recommends the best course of action and times such as that we live in is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
