Well, I've got a lot to cover, so let's get started

once again. This is Gene Valerani reporting the big vice presidential debate this past week was a win for GOP vice presidential contender jd Vance, who, if the trend continues as it is going, will become vice president the president Donald Trump. The tea leads are telling us right now that Trump's going to come out as the victor and regain the presidency. Now, depending on who you listen to. Jd Vance held his own in the debate with the

Democrat contender, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz and others. As I just told you, he was the clear winner. But the big news this past week is what I want to share with you and open the show with today. At this stage in world developments, With the war in the Mid East between Israel and terrorist forces growing larger by the day, it's only conjecture as to what's going to happen next. Are we on the eve of World War three?

Or world developments settled down enough to slow events from bubbling over in that part of the world and affecting all of US worldwide. In the US, odds favor putting Trump back into the White House before that explosive situation in the Middle East spills over into more bloodshed. If Trump gets in there soon enough, If the election comes and goes and World War III hasn't started, well, we

may avoid it. Israel, for its part, is fighting for its survival, while the Ayatollahs in Iran are pushing for armageddon and the return of their profit. It's a religious war with all the implication that such wars bring. For Israel, the goal is simply to be able to live in peace with its Muslim neighbors. For the Ayatollahs, it's a completely different picture and in fact has all the implications of a religious war. If Israel moves in and wipes out the oil fields in Iran, it could bring a

pretty quick end to the fighting. Experts are telling us, and this is because oil is the real arsenal of war for the Maulas who want to destroy Israel. Then what helped get us there has been the weakness of the Biden administration. That's why we're back in all the turmoil. Biden was a week leader, is a week leader, and he has He's a week leader when it comes to dealing with those Mullas. In a religious conflict where each side assumes God's on their side and they cannot lose,

there will always be more bloodshed. You ought to be able to figure that out, Ladies and gentlemen. If Donald Trump regains the White House, and it's beginning to look like he will, it would likely bring a quick succession secession. I should say not succession, but secession to the hostilities. In other words, they'll stop fighting. Trump will make it stop. This is because Trump will not likely engage in a

long term, costly war. Trump, like he did the last time around, would probably just detonate several buster bumper bombs in strategic locations and diffuse the situation in that part of the world. Listen to me, when we see the Holy Land in the shape that it is in and the never ending turmoil between Israel and its neighbors. It hearkens back to biblical times. For Christians, it's the return

of Jesus, who will settle things. For the Jews, it's the coming of their Messiah, who Christians say is Jesus, And for the Muslim it's their Prophet. So you have the world's three primary religions are waiting for something from heaven to stabilize the world, while at the same time we have political parties from all sides quarreling among themselves as much as between their adversaries. It's unending in both religious beliefs and sectarian beliefs, and nobody has the right

answer to bring hostilities to an end. But this is where we find ourselves in the early days of October twenty twenty four. We're here now wars and rumors of wars, and yet no obvious end in sight to when the turmoil will end. And this is why it's imperative that we Americans successfully manage to put Donald Trump back in charge. If nothing else, he will be strong enough a leader to quell the constant uprisings between which seemed to plague

the Middle East and other hotspots around the globe. The fact that so much of the current tormorial can price their beginnings back to what we Americans usually referred to as the Holy Land has been occurring for centuries now and where we still find ourselves centuries after Christ arose from the dead and ascended to heaven, as the Holy Script says, he will return to judge the living and the dead and finally bring peace to the world. The Bible also tells us not to be deceived by false messiahs.

And there will be false ones, and have been false ones who come and go. When Christ does return, listen to me, the powers of heaven will be shaken, and there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars, and upon the earth, the stress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and foreboding of what is coming through the world. And that's the state of the world right now.

And that's what we're going to talk about today. Meantime, Special Counsel Jack Smith, in an apparent defiance of the US Supreme Court, refiled charges against for former president and Trump here this past week, charging Trump with election interference with regard to January sixth, events following the twenty twenty election where Trump challenged Biden's victory all old news now, especially since no less an authority than the US Supreme Court has thrown it out. Smith not to be undaunted.

He doesn't. What he did is he just refiles the lawsuit, changes a word here and there, and refiles the charges in Judge Tanya Chunkin's District of Columbia court. This is all show, ladies and gentlemen. It's going to go nowhere, and this latest lawsuit is just another distraction to try and confuse the voting public and a last gas effort by Democrats to try and prevent Trump from retaking the

White House. I want to pass along a suggestion to anyone nearing retirement and who has vested accumulation inside there four oh one k accounts right now this coming week might be a good time to transfer such an account into principal protection, a principal protection plan issued through our work. An Asset Growth Associates wants you to call us. I want to meet, want you to meet with us, and we're going to help you transfer those funds out of

harm's way. If that's what you want to do. Money in a principal protection account continues to earn market link returns but never incurs losses caused by a downturn on Wall Street. Call us an Asset Growth Associates four to nine eight four sixty nine hundred. I've got a lot to cover on the show this morning. I don't want you to go away, so you stay tuned and we'll be back right after this break.

it's going to end. And that is if we believe the Bible and they're living in the last days before the second coming of Christ. Whether all that's happening is a prelude to his second coming or just another round of hourmoil in the Middle East remains to be seen. Right now. The Democrat President Joe Biden, he's still in the White House, and Israel will be in it alone. Biden's not going to do anything to aid Israel. In fact,

he's already been enough to hurt Israel. But if Trump wins the upcoming presidential election, I feel the terrorists will slowly but surely begin to back off. If the chaos continues, and if Trump becomes US president, Trump will not likely engage in endless warfare with Hamas Hezbelah and other terrorist groups. Trump will order pre strikes that will quickly immobilize the terrorist defensive against Israel and returns to the to the region. Now, that's what I believe will happen, But then no one

really knows what lies ahead. In the short term, those Angryiatolas are eager, eager to implement more war in the belief that war is necessary to destroy Israel. And the real danger is that if a country such as Iran gets the capability of conducting nuclear warfare, they probably would use nuclear bombs on the assumption that the end of the world must come before their ancient prophecies can come to fruition. But for the moment in our time, anytime there is turmoil in the mid East, the world has

drawn to the ancient prophecies and expected doomsday outcome. And this is why it's so intriguing to visit the subjects of warfare that have been flowed through the Holy Land and the speculation that the second of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is near. But Jesus himself has told us no one knows the day or even the hour of his second cometh only, but it'll happen eventually, and we have to look to the clues which Jesus himself gave us. First Off, there will arise falseless eyes claiming to be

the Christ. But when Jesus comes, according to scripture, it will be very dramatic, a sudden and unmistakable incident. Jesus second coming will be to judge sinful mankind, not to preach salvation. This time Jesus shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and this kingdom shall have no end. That's pretty much it. So what's happening in the Holy Land now is all part of the events which we'll be leading up to Christ's second coming. It will happen, but no one knows the day or

the hour, not even the angels in heaven. In the meantime, the struggle between good and evil continues. The good news is we all know the outcome, but not the hour or the day. But I believe most of us would be eager for a little more peace on earth, goodwill to man. Last week we all witnessed the deadly force of the hurricane which came ashore in Florida and the devastation it caused the property and the loss of life.

How do we even begin to try and understand such events and tie them into the wonders of God's creation? Now's the time. Now is the time to reach out and try to help one another as best we can, and the struggle in our minds why does such disasters even occur? I bring this up briefly because events such as her gains, tornadoes, floods, et cetera point out the how small and incapable mankind is in the face of nature,

and how insignificant mankind really is overall. Yet God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that who's whoever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting life. We are something to God, You me, all of us were something to him. Listen, the world isn't turmoil, and we will continue to be until the Second Coming. In the meantime, we must do the best we can to help one another and preserve our nation from falling into the wrong hands come election day, because that's the

next big event coming. Hope springs ejournal and we all have a part to play. In the events of our lives, or we wouldn't be here to begin with, right, second coming? Election Day is not second coming. But Donald Trump is re elected. What does that mean? Well, I believe it'll bring stability back back into the world. It'll be stable. They'll be always be turmoil, but with the right person in the White House, it will calm things down because

they know that Trump doesn't fool around. He's not someone to be he's not someone to reckon with because if there's a reckoning, you know he's going to follow through. So being prepared for the future is very important and I don't think anyone can argue with me about that now in our daily lives, as we watch these world events occur, we're still here and we still have to look to the future. And one way to be prepared for them futures to consider how you invest money for

the future. Today's financial markets are very skittish and it seems we lose more money than we're making now. One way to stop that is to and to capture market gains and keep growing an es D egg without having it swept away in a downturn. Would be to call us an asset growth Associates I have to mention this. Every week four oh nine eight four oh sixty nine hundred,

you call us, your schedule an appointment. We review your present situation, and then we make recommendations and we will put together a plan that will help you secure your future. That's what we do for a living here at Asset Growth Associates. Once again, you can reach us by calling four to oh nine eight four oh sixty nine hundred. Schedule a time to visit with us, and we will help you get ready and prepare for the future. Not armageddon. I don't think it's really at hand, but then what

do I know. I don't know much about anything at all. Really, I think that it will eventually come. I believe that Jesus will come again and set mankind straight. But until that day comes, and no one knows when that day will be, we still have to maintain a living for ourselves, our families and put some money away for the future. Life has to go on, and that's just the way it is, and that's why we're in business that asks

that Growth Associates. But we have to keep our eyes on world events because I think we know what the final outcome is going to be and We're just waiting for that day to get here. Listen, we'll be back with much more right after this important message.

is My Risk Number? Dot Com?

much better than the world that we're living in today. Okay, it's time for the weekly report that we've entitled the Dirty Little Secret, and I want to share this with you this morning because in you of everything that's happening in Israel right now with the Ayatollahs from Iran, we're very close to something, some big event happening. Remember this, The United States was founded on Christian beliefs, and if anyone who looks back, you're going to find this to

be true. Christianity shares its existence with Jesus Christ, and so much of our existence as Americans has its roots in Judeo Christian beliefs. We too are part of what is yet to come, we Americans. That being a given when we look at the situation of the world today

and the turmoil among religious beliefs. Anytime a new flareup in the Holy Land occurs, but it forces some of us to take the time to try and put two and two together, to consider what's happening in the Holy Land and will it ultimately have an effect on we Americans? And is also why when that turmoil explodes into the possibility of a bigger and bigger warfare, a bigger warfare

in the world so called hotspots. We quickly run back, refer to the Bible to see if it means something to be modern Americans, who ostensibly tend to have shed too much of our early Christian religious beliefs and more and more drifted into secularism. It's not the churches, Christianity. The religious world is not the same religious world of one hundred years ago or even fifty years ago. Now, listen to me carefully. We're in the world right now.

Everything that's going on in the world right now is going to affect us one way or another. When there's a flare up in the Holy Land, many of us want to take the time to see if maybe this is part of the second Coming of Christ or something else.

If we believe the Gospels is handed down to us through the Word of God, if we believe they're true, and it makes sense then when something occurs in the Holy Land for us to take the time and look a little deeper into biblical prophecies, and if indeed there's anything occurring in far away places that are in ultimately pull us into those events. Now, most Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the blessed Trinity, which is composed of God the Father, God

the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Since many Christians believe Jesus became man and his death and resurrection was the redemption of the sins, our sins, the sins of all mankind. And as a resurrection was for the redemption of the sins of all mankind. It was an atonement. The crucifixion was an atonement for sin. Jesus was resurrection from the dead, and he's going to come again. He will eventually return to judge the living and the dead.

This this is why when something happens in the Holy Land, our attention is quickly alerted and signals the Second Coming may be at hand. And if it is, then what well. If this is the case and the Second Coming is at hand, then it would be good news for most of us with Christ establishing his kingdom on earth. Listen to me, let me say this. I'm not a preacher,

nor am I a biblical scholar. All I'm saying is that when something happens in the Holy Land, it tends to trigger our minds and reminds us why we call that quarter of the world the Holy Land, the original home of the world's three leading religions, Jews, Christians and Muslims. Now, if you didn't know that, look it up. Look it up on all those three faiths that have sprung up in that part of the world that we call the

Holy Land. And that's when Jesus comes back. That's where he's returning to the Holy Land, the place where there is little peace among the people who inhabit the land and to have a hard time getting along with one another. And Jesus told us to love one another because this will reveal who his true disciples are. Seems simple enough on the surface, but often it's difficult to accomplish, isn't it.

We see rivalries between religions, politicians, nations, and individuals. But we have to continue to strive for truth and justice in an unjust world and do the best we can to get along with one another and do some good during our passage from here to our eventual destination. And I believe what the world needs now is a heavy dose of peace and prosperity for everyone, because it's poverty and suffering of all kinds that drives a wedge against

people and drives a wedge against nations as well. So as we approach the twenty twenty four presidential election here in the United States, we have a chance to set things right and make sure we don't throw our vote away on some politicians empty promises, political or otherwise. I believe President Trump, if elected, is going to restore law and order, send who came here illegally back to where they came from, and prevent the continued decline of the

American middle class, which is most of us. Take away the middle class, then we're just another land of the haves and the have nots. They're rich and the poor, but the middle class is what makes America different. If we have a thriving middle class, we will restore prosperity for the American people. And the end, it's really up to all of us as individuals to always do the right thing, because in the end, listen to me, that's that's that's really the bottom line, ladies and gentlemen, to

do the right thing. And it's not easy to do. It's not easy to do. I mean, when we when we witness the crime that's occurring when we witness the immorality that is occurring when we see everything coming apart of the seams. Uh. You know, you go back and look at the Bible. The Bible says, you know, men will be fainting with fear of things that come. If we don't want it to be that bad. We want to live in peace. We want to have some prosperity in our lives. We want equal justice under the law.

These are the things of the United States has founded under. Will we survive as a nation? I hope so. But at the time, at the place we are right now in the history of the United States, we are at a critical crossroads, make no mistake about it, and we better choose wisely who we send to the White House here in a few weeks when we have our presidential election, I think that the best course would be simply to

put Donald Trump back in charge. Okay, we'll be back with more right after these important messages, So please don't go away.

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.

for the solution. You know, it's been a while ride on Wall Street recently, and with so much chaos rattling the financial markets recently, it may be time for investors to wake up and smell the coffee, so to speak. And one thing for sure is that the Biden administration has rattled the entire US economy's they've reintroduced inflation at a greater rate than the doom and gloom days of

the Jimmy Carter administration. You remember that you may may not who Jimmy Carter, by the way, attained age one hundred this past week, So happy birthday, mister president. One thing we must recognize is that when it comes to financial gloom and doom, Washington DC Democrats love it because it opens the door for them to step in more easily and introduce schemes which never work well with short term solutions they offer, but end up causing more damage

in the long run. Not only is employment threatened, but so is everything else we take for granted. We have this crisis bluing with this long Shorman strike.

occurring now right now. The hope is that Donald Trump will recapture the White House here next month, but just weeks now, we're down to days, I guess days and weeks not a long time to wait till election day gets here.
