Live. Breaking news right now here on Real America's. These people are domestic terrorists and unapologetic. We're here to take a stand for God and country. Does feel good. America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Gruber. Today is Tuesday, the 1st of April, in the year of our Lord 2026. Let's get to the day's top stories. President Trump was in attendance at the Supreme Court today as justices heard oral arguments on birthright citizenship. He will also be addressing the nation later tonight regarding the war in Iran, with many hoping for an end soon. More on that coming up. Also, NASA on the countdown clock preparing to launch the Artemis 2 mission today, sending astronauts on humanity's first trip toward the moon in more than 50 years. We will go live to Kennedy Space center for more on that as well. And then later, school choice gaining momentum every single day, with even deep blue states now starting to opt in, signaling a shift in in K12 education at the core, the idea that parents should choose what is best for their kids. All that and more today. But first, I want to start with this. Well, the husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is being outed as a cross dresser obsessed with wearing fake boobs. A handful of fetish models say that Brian Noem, Noem's husband, has spent tens of thousands of dollars on his relationships with these sex workers online while discussing his kink for surgically enhanced bodies. And so much more. That is so much worse. April Fools. Actually, it is April Fool's Day, but unfortunately, that's a real story. Dominating the Internet over the last 24 hours. Kristi Noem's team released a statement saying that Noem and her family have been blindsided and devastated by the news and are processing it on their own. It's a crazy story for sure, but there are several crazier ones that I wish were a joke this day, ones that say a lot more about the state of our country and its politicians. So let's make our way through the laundry list. Of real fools and their foolish actions and ideas. Over in the House, two California Democrats, believe it or not, trying to push through a bill that would bring back a whole slew of Biden era climate obsessed policies. The very same policies that have driven the price of electricity through the roof in so many places, mostly blue states. And of course, they're misleading everyone. They're calling the energy bills the Relief Act. The Energy Bills Relief Act. They're using the same kind of trick they tried with the Inflation Reduction act, which, as we know, increased inflation. More than half of House Democrats have already signed onto the package, which would promote the development of wind and solar farms on public land, your land, and reinstate costly renewable energy subsidies that were ousted with the one big beautiful bill. It would also bring back the hurdles to liquefied natural gas exports that Joe Biden and company put in place to pause those permits. So you tell me, does any of that sound like it would bring relief to your energy bill? The answer, of course, is no. In fact, it would do the opposite. Because although energy prices have jumped in the last month, they are going to come back down as the markets settle down. But bringing back the policies that Joe Biden used to hamstring our energy dependence would only make those prices go even higher and stay there. What if I told you that there is a Michigan Democrat running for the Senate who is worried. Worried that the death of the Supreme Leader in Iran is making people sad. Sounds like a joke. It's not. Audio leaked from Democrat Abdul El Sayed's campaign exposing him for saying he doesn't want to comment on Khamenei's death because he knows that people in Dearborn are upset and feeling sad. Listen to this. I also want to remind you guys that. That there are a lot of people
- [04:18]
David Morales
in Dearborn who are sad today.
- [04:20]
Steve Gruber
So, like, I just don't want to comment on Hamadi at all.
- [04:25]
David Morales
Like, I. I don't think it's worth even touching that.
- [04:29]
Steve Gruber
Like, they're gonna try. This is what we practice.
- [04:31]
David Morales
But like, isn't. Is it Khomeini a bad guy?
- [04:33]
Steve Gruber
Isn't it great that he's dead? My first amendment was 86 years old. He was going to be dead sometime soon anyway. Now, why is it even remotely acceptable to have a candidate running for US Senate who is more concerned about the emotions of terrorist sympathizers than he is with right and wrong, with protecting America and Americans? He also made and published videos promoting no Kings rallies in Michigan. The same rallies known for calling for the assassination of President Trump. She has no problem with how many Americans are saddened over those rallies. But he is concerned about a population that would be concerned about a death of a maniacal murderous dictator overseas. Now, I'd call that foolish, to say the least. This next Democrat wasn't exposed by leaked audio. No. Minneapolis City Councilwoman Pearl Warren thought her comments deserved to be heard right out in public. Listen to this.
- [05:26]
Pearl Warren
I wake up every day black. That's something that I have to deal with. It's not a choice, it's not an option. I don't get to take it off. I don't get to choose absolutely anything different. The adverse effects of marginalization and things that I experience being a black woman every day is something that has been perpetuated by institutions of white racism throughout history. Welcome to the place that I've lived my entire life. Welcome to where I've been with my ancestors, my grandparents, my parents and welcome. I am glad that you have arrived and made it here. It is an uncomfortable and disrespectful space. If I wanted to sit here and talk about the disenfranchisement of what has happened to black folks here in America. I tell everybody to empty their pockets and strip they clothes off for the cotton that my ancestors picked. The fact that money is made from linen and cotton. What ice is doing is disgusting. But I've been iced my whole damn life. And if you don't think I recognize what's going on, then welcome to my reality.
- [06:41]
Steve Gruber
Good boy. What is the color of the sky in her world? No, she did not end that rant with a happy April Fools everybody. She should have clearly the remarks of a fool because it's a joke to rant and rave about institutionalized racism as you sit on city council where you were elected. Elected by the people to govern people from a position of power. It's a joke to yell and point your finger at white people, telling them that somehow stripping off cotton and linen clothes is going to make black people's lives better. It's a joke to pretend to be the victim in Minneapolis as well, of all places, where the streets have been flooded with activists and opportunists in the name of racism for years. And she's not alone in being obsessed with the wrong issues. Democrats in Providence, Rhode island have decided that it's a valuable use of their time to oppose a mural that honors Irina Zarudska. You know her, of course, the 23 year old Ukrainian refugee who was stabbed to death in cold blood by a man who had been in and out of the criminal justice system at least 14 separate times. Elon Musk has pumped his personal money in the states, all over the US to fund murals that honor Irina. And Democrats have decided that the murals are divisive. That's the word that the Providence mayor used. And he's ordering that the murals be taken down in his town. Here's what Rhode Island State Representative David Morales had to say about it.
- [08:08]
David Morales
What are your thoughts on the mural? So I find it disheartening that we are seeing a right wing movement that is exploiting the death of a refugee for the purposes of trying to spread division. Trying to spread division and fear mongering rhetoric about, about the dangers that might exist in certain cities. And the fact that now Providence is being targeted in of itself is just so disappointing to see.
- [08:27]
Brian Glenn
Do you feel the death, the tragedy itself is political?
- [08:30]
David Morales
I think the death and the tragedy in terms of the way that it's being exploited to the community has turned political. Ultimately, what we saw was a situation where a young woman had her life taken away. But the fact that we are watching right wing special interest groups being funded by Elon Musk, trying to elevate this as a political issue where community members are expected to feel unsafe in their cities and in their communities, is just wrong.
- [08:57]
Steve Gruber
Now, just to be clear, the mural has no kind of message on it at all. It was a painting of Arena's face. That's it. A face too uncomfortable for anyone on the left to see, apparently, because it forces them to recognize their policies actually get people killed. But Democrats are so uncomfortable with being reminded about the cost of their soft on crime policies that they're willing to go all out and through the hassle of taking down a mural, one that they didn't even have to pay for. It's pretty revealing, actually. The Democrat politicians are the ones getting squeamish about this mural, exposing their politics, even though the mural itself didn't have anything to do with politics at all. This isn't an isolated problem though, because arena murals have been defaced all over the country, yet defaced over and over again. Can you imagine? Look at this. Can you imagine defacing the mural of a young girl murdered coming home from work by a career criminal? Now, how dark does someone's soul have to be to do that? Democrats don't care about human rights or justice. When the victim is white, apparently, and an immigrant like Irina was, they're always looking for some kind of cause to get angry about. As long as the victim isn't straight. Or white. In the end, this April Fool's Day isn't funny at all. And the joke's on us if we keep pretending any of this is normal. It's not. Democrats aren't just out of touch. They're actively cheering for the very chaos they helped create. Look, America deserves better than leaders who mock common sense, coddle criminals and treat their own voters like props in a culture war theater. Wake up, folks. The real fools aren't just the ones wearing fake boobs or silly signs. Some are wearing black robes and holding gavels, others have congressional pins, and others fly the hammer and sickle along with a dozen flags from foreign countries. And they're all trying to take over once again this year. So happy April Fool's Day. There are so many to be found. And that's the monologue coming up after the break. President Trump was at the Supreme Court earlier today as justices listened to oral arguments on the case of birthright citizenship. The president will also be addressing the nation tonight regarding the war in Iran. Big day from the White House. I'll discuss it all coming up. Well, a story we've been following here all day, the Supreme Court oral arguments regarding birthright citizenship. And President Trump was in attendance. I think that's the first time a president has ever sat in on Supreme Court arguments. Yes. And the deliberations as well. The president has been very vocal about his opposition to birthright citizenship and even signed an executive order to restrict it as soon as he came back into office in January 2025. But now with the Supreme Court getting involved, the question is this, whether President Trump's arguments will prevail or fail. Joining me to discuss is a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Cully Stimson. Cully, nice to see you today. I know you had a chance to listen to the oral argument. She said you did that so we didn't have to. Now, I caught a good part of it. And I'll be honest here, I don't think that the president prevails here, even though my belief quite simply reading the amendment, this had nothing to do with birthright citizenship. That has had nothing to do with Chinese nationals or people from other countries coming here and having children and creating citizens and leaving. But give me your takeaway from the oral arguments.
- [12:35]
Cully Stimson
Well, you're right in the sense that the Reconstruction amendments, the three that were passed after the Civil War, the 13th to abolish slavery, the 14th is the focus of today's argument, has the citizenship clause, and that was directly it was put in place in Part to reverse the horrible Dred Scott decision and to also ensure that slaves and the children thereof would be citizens of the United States. That was the main focus of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. But I tend to agree with you. I don't think the argument went particularly well for the government. I thought Solicitor General Sauer did as good a job as one could under the circumstances, and both sides got tough questions. But I think in having read the briefs, a lot of the amicus briefs, and then listening to the argument today, I think John had a much harder job than the ACLU attorney.
- [13:35]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, look, it's cases like these where it's clear if you go back and read the comments from the senators of the time, they never intended this. This was to protect the newly freed slaves and their children from Democrats, to be honest. That's what it was for, to protect them from being abused and not given citizenship or full standing as American citizens. It didn't mean if somebody came into this country illegally and had a child, that child automatically became an American citizen. That was never the plan. But I look at people like Amy Coney Barrett, don't think this goes well as far as what my belief is in her vote. Same thing for Chief Justice Roberts. I think that he's weak on this. I think it's a six, three. And look, I get reading tea leaves of the Supreme Court's dangerous Business, but I'll do it. I think it's a 6:3 decision that upholds birthright citizenship, which then opens the floodgates to this birth tourism. There are 500 companies. We learned this during the oral arguments today in China alone, sending Chinese women here to have babies in the Northern Marianas Islands, among other places. It's pretty remarkable, isn't it?
- [14:48]
Cully Stimson
I lost the video and audio there for a second. Steve,
- [14:53]
Steve Gruber
you're good. I mean, you've got an entire industry set up in China and elsewhere creating citizens. It'll come here. They'll have the babies. Will the Chinese women in the Northern Marianas Islands. That baby goes back to China and comes back as a citizen in 18 years. There's more than a million of those now. We've got to do something to stop that, don't we?
- [15:15]
Cully Stimson
Well, I missed most of your question because of some audio glitch, but the fact is that Trump has succeeded in closing the border. The harder part now is, of course, enforcing the laws on the books and removing those who are illegally here in the country. But this argument today really had nothing to do with that. The argument today had to do with the simple question is whether the original public meaning of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment prevents or permits birthright citizenship. And you know, the practice of our country, unfortunately, has been in the last 140or so years is to the answer is yes, it does allow birthright citizenship. And so I think the justices honed in on subject to the jurisdiction thereof clause. And the government, of course, argues that we're talking about political loyalty and allegiance to the country. And the practice has been subject to the civil and criminal jurisdiction of the laws of the country, regardless of your immigration status. So I think, you know, you never know how the court's going to rule. It could rule on a statutory basis. It could take on the constitutional issue. But either way, I think the Trump administration has a tough road to hoe here.
- [16:25]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, I think a difficult spot for them. Cully always appreciates your insights. We'll have to wait and see. Predicting outcomes from Supreme Court cases. It's a dangerous business, but we'll see what happens. Sir, thank you.
- [16:36]
Cully Stimson
Thank you.
- [16:38]
Steve Gruber
All right. Now, another major development coming up has to do with President Trump addressing the nation with what he's calling a major update as it relates to the ongoing battles with Iran. Announcement set to happen tonight live at 9 o'. Clock. And we will be here at Real America's Voice providing coverage wall to wall to make sure you don't have to turn the dial. And you'll have all the information you need. Joining me to discuss this, the chief White House correspondent for Real America's Voice, Brian Glenn. Brian, good afternoon. The president making a primetime announcement. He's done it before, but it's not often. Any insights as to what we might hear?
- [17:14]
Brian Glenn
You know, Steve, I wish I had the latest update for you, but the White House has been pretty close lipped as far as what we can expect tonight at 9:00'. Clock. And as you said, it's a very rare kind of prime time delivery speech. We know that when he does something like this, Steve, he really wants the nation to understand a particular subject. Now, talking about Iran. So I wish I had further details on it, but they've been really tight on giving out too much. Now, if you go off what broke on Truth Social this morning as American Sunrise was opening actually in the 9 o' clock hour, he pushed out and said, look, the Strait of Hormuz, will they want a ceasefire? Iran is asking for a ceasefire. And he said only when the strait is 100% open. And if that does not happen, then quite frankly, and I'm paraphrasing here in Trump's ways that he lays it out. We're going to obliviate basically everything that's standing so threatening. Lots of kinetic action, you can say. So tonight we can hear everything, Steve, from we're exiting NATO to troops on the ground next week, or the war is basically over. We have kinetically defeated the Iranian government. We've wiped away the possibility of them having a nuclear weapon, and we could be sending our boys home. So, Steve, it's going to be wide open.
- [18:39]
Steve Gruber
What we can hear tonight, absolutely true. Now, oil is back below $100 a barrel. The stock market, really big day yesterday because they started getting some tea leaves that the war might be winding down, went up more than 1100 points, up 275 today. So the markets like the idea the oil is below $100, which means that the increase in gas prices should at least stop to help out the American consumer. Look, Donald Trump's a politician. He gets it. And if gas is up more than a dollar a gallon around the country, which it is, that could have real ramifications for November. He's mindful of that, right?
- [19:15]
Brian Glenn
Yeah, he is. You know, and this is not particularly in the playbook for what you do going into an election year. If you incumbent party, you don't get into a war that you don't need to get in. And President Trump talked about this the other day in the Oval Office and said, look, the dow had hit 50,000. We thought the economy was steamrolling ahead. We thought we had to take a pause, go take care of Iran, make sure they do not have a nuclear weapon and get into that. He knew that the market was going to pull back. He knew that gas would slightly go up, but he thought now is the time to do that. So now that the mission seems to be complete and we've been victorious as far as getting the goals achieved, but will we see an official end to this war anytime soon? Maybe tonight's tonight we get an idea of that. But this was certainly not in the
- [20:08]
Steve Gruber
blueprint, the political blueprint.
- [20:10]
Brian Glenn
And you've been in this business a long time. This is not something I felt like he had to do. This is not normal to get into a war on election year, but we'll see how it ends up November.
- [20:22]
Steve Gruber
All right, Brian? Well, clearly he felt that they had to do it now for whatever intelligence he had behind the curtain. Of course, we don't know all the information they have, but he felt compelled to do it in a political year, which, well, I guess we'll see what happens tonight. Brian Glenn from Washington, thank you for that. And don't forget to tune in to real America's Voice tonight for President Trump's address to the nation regarding Iran and Operation Epic Fury. Be sure to tune in for live coverage right here. Unreal america's Voice now. Coming up after the break, I'll take us over to the Kennedy Space Center. I mean, we are all over the place today, folks. That's where NASA is gearing up for the launch of the Artemis 2 mission, which will send its astronauts back toward the moon. There's your countdown clock. First time in what, 50 years? Stay tuned. More details coming up. All right, let's see that countdown clock, boys and girls, because NASA is preparing to launch the Artemis 2 space mission today, sending astronauts on humanity's first trip toward the moon in something like five decades. Right. Four astronauts will depart on the roughly 10 day mission that will carry them about 244,000 miles to the moon and beyond, farther from Earth than any humans have traveled since the Apollo era. During the mission, the crew will swing around the far side of the moon, using the moon's gravity to help send them back toward Earth. Joining me from the launch site is Weather Nation meteorologist Tracy Anthony. Tracy, nice to see you today. I had the good fortune a number of years ago to watch a space shuttle launch from the front row and I hear this is your first time. You're going to love this. This is American pride. I'm telling you, this feels good. Tell us what's going on.
- [22:07]
Tracy Anthony
Yeah, you know, we've talked to a lot of people today and they've been saying the same thing. You know, they've come to a lot of different shuttle launches and this one's just feeling a lot different. So we're actually at Jetty park, which is a campground that viewers flock to, and it's one of the best viewing areas for launches out of Kennedy Space Center. So I'm excited. Yes, this is my first one. I am ready for the ground to shake. I'm ready to hear the, you know, incredible rumble and I know you can hear it from a long way away. So this is really exciting for me. Weather actually plays a big role and that's why we're here as well, because if there's rain or storm clouds or winds that are too aggressive, the space shuttle won't launch. So it's expected to launch at about 6:24 this evening. And everything seems to be going as planned, but they've got about a two hour launch window and if the weather conditions do don't cooperate, they will have to postpone till tomorrow. They also could postpone for technology concerns. But Steve, let me tell you, today the weather has been so hot and cold. We've had, you know, some sunshine. We had a little drizzle. Then we've had some heavy downpours. It's been that sea breeze that hasn't really let up. It stuck around a little bit later with some of those rain showers. So finally now you can kind of see behind me it's just starting to clear up. So fingers crossed that this is some dry air that's finally going to work on through and everything can go as planned this evening.
- [23:43]
Steve Gruber
Well, Tracy, you just need that weather nation magic wand. Clear the skies, make sure they fly and. Yeah. Because you're going to love it. And how many people are there in that campground with you? It looks like the place is packed.
- [23:55]
Tracy Anthony
Yeah, this campground is sold out. So we're still expecting more people to fill the spaces, but you know, they are sold out for this. If you go over the sand dunes, there's a beach that's packed with people. And we got here pretty early this morning. So some of the campers that we've spoke to, they got here several days ago in anticipation or they were here and decided to extend their stay. So this is definitely going to be a hot spot here this evening.
- [24:26]
Steve Gruber
Yeah, it's a big deal. Tracy, Anthony, I look forward to hearing what you have to say after you get to see that bottle rocket. It's a big one and it's a lot of fun. Thank you for being here.

Now coming up after the break, school choice seemingly gaining momentum around the country, signaling a shift toward favoring parental rights over ideology. Pretty good idea. More details coming up right here on Real America's Voice. America's Voice LIVE. Always like to give you some good news. And I think this is some good news for the future because schools of choice gaining momentum all over this country, even deep blue states are now starting to opt in, signaling a big, a big breakthrough in K12 education at the core. This crazy idea that parents, parents should choose what is best for their kids. I know, it's wild. While more states are opting in, those that opt out could miss up to $23 billion in tax credits. More than 28 states have now adopted the program or say they will, with applications in Texas reaching more than 200,000 in just one month. While Colorado is showing blue states that school choice is no longer just a red state issue. Here to discuss, Erica Donalds, founder of the America First Policy Institute. And she's joining us from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, where she's on the road with Turning Point usa. Erica, nice to see you here today.
- [27:27]
Erica Donalds
Thanks for having me. I appreciate it.
- [27:30]
Steve Gruber
You know, schools of choice are really important. I don't reside too far from Detroit, and their public schools do not have a great track record like a lot of big urban schools. But schools of choice have really shined in the city of Detroit. And if it can be done there, it can be done in states all over. It doesn't matter if you're a red state or a blue state, if your kid's in a bad school and you want them to do better, you want to have better reading comprehension, better mathematics, better history lessons. Schools of choice really is a tool for parents to really help their children. I don't know why anybody would be opposed to this. And it is gaining traction, isn't it?
- [28:08]
Erica Donalds
Well, absolutely. And unfortunately, a lot of that traction is in red states. However, with the federal tax credit scholarship coming online next year, we do see several Democrat governors signaling that they will opt in to allow these private donations to be used for private school tuition, homeschool expenses, dual enrollment, special needs services, tutoring and the like in their states. Hopefully, Michigan will be one of those opted in states and the benefits come to those families in Detroit.
- [28:41]
Steve Gruber
Well, you know, the fastest way to a Democrat's heart is through free money. I mean, that's the way it is. The fastest way to get there is, hey, we've got free money. Oh, they'll come. They'll come out of the woodwork. Tell me about. Let's talk about the results, though, for a minute. I mean, you talk about schools. I do, in Detroit, and they're not doing well. But those schools of choice really are. They're outperforming the public schools. It's not even a close race. Is this the same sort of thing you see in other places around the country?
- [29:09]
Erica Donalds
Absolutely. There have been about 200 studies on the effect of school choice, not just on the students that are in the choice schools, but also on the traditional public schools in those areas. Out of those 200 studies, 83% of them found positive effects of the school choice program. And that could be an increased academic performance, decreased discipline issues, college going rates, all of these things. And the remaining studies that didn't show a positive effect showed a neutral effect. So zero studies of the 200 that were done on school choice and its impact had any negative effect. And we know parents are happier. They feel that their children's needs are being met in these choice programs. That's really what's most important.
- [29:55]
Steve Gruber
I want to make sure I understood exactly what you said there. Not only did the schools of choice, the charter schools, whatever they may be, their proficiency is higher, but you're saying it lifts all boats, it lifts the public schools into a better place as well. Is that what you're saying?
- [30:09]
Erica Donalds
Exactly. And that's as expected. Right. America was built on capitalism and free markets. Why are we the leaders of the world in medicine and business and technology? Because you have that free market competition and those competitive pressures that make everyone step up their game, be more responsive, innovate, and have better performance. And that's exactly what happens in choice environments.
- [30:32]
Steve Gruber
Well, and here's the other thing that we've all seen too much of, and that's A local school board. Pick your city, pick your story where the school board thinks they have more power than the parents. We saw during the previous administration. Parents that complained at school board meetings were listed as domestic terrorists because they wanted their kids to do better. I mean, that sort of thing is so outrageous it's hard to even fathom. But it is true that these schools are responsive to the parents because parents are involved with curriculum. They're involved in their kids everyday life. And look, if you can get a kid out of a failing school and get them onto a path to success, that changes their future, it changes the future of the country.
- [31:11]
Erica Donalds
Doesn't does. And that's a culture change that we need across the board. We know that parental involvement is one of the best indicators for student success. And when parents are the ones actually making that affirmative choice of where their children are going to school, as you said, they're selecting a school they think is going to work best for their children, how their children learn. They're selecting a school that aligns with their value system at home. And so they're going to be more motivated to ensure that their child succeeds in that school environment. That's why we need to empower every family that wants school choice with the ability to take those dollars that would otherwise go to their zone public school and move them to the school environment that's going to work best for them. They know their children the best and they love their children the most. They should be in the driver's seat.

Yeah. You know, literacy. My mother taught fifth grade for 30 years. So I'm the son of a school teacher and I understand and appreciate teachers greatly. I do. I think there are a lot of challenges in the classroom now because teachers are not allowed to control their classrooms the way they once did. I think that's an issue. But when it comes to literacy, this has always been something that I've paid attention to because of my mother. And literacy rates in America are not strong right now. What else can we do? We've seen the Mississippi miracle. That state turned it around. Mississippi used to be at the bottom of the pile. Now they're in the top 10 because of what they've done in Mississippi. Should we be focusing on places like that to say, look, this is what works even in public schools?
- [32:35]
Erica Donalds
Absolutely. As you stated, Mississippi has shown what consistent dedication to the science of reading and good teacher preparation as well as high quality instructional materials will do to those literacy rates. Only 1 in 3 students in America can read proficiently. It's absolutely unacceptable. We Americans should be furious and demanding change. And yet we are complacent across this country. We know what works. We saw it in Mississippi. Louisiana is another great example. We need to be very strict with the science of reading, making sure that all of our schools are following that. Most importantly, that our institutions of higher education, our education colleges, are teaching teachers how to teach using the science of reading methods.

Yeah. When you look at Governor Ivey and you look at Governor Lander, you look at some of the governors that are making changes in this country to education. It's really important. Erica Donalds, always good talking to you. Thank you for stopping in.

new track to push to the top of the charts. God Bless America by hi Rez. Let's show the left we're proud to be Americans. Scan the QR code or search God Bless America on itunes today. You know, getting healthy is not the government's job. I appreciate the Make America healthy again is getting a lot of traction. I do appreciate that. But really, if you want to be healthy, it starts at home with you and your family. Inflammation is a health issue that impacts tens of millions of Americans, especially as we get older. And yes, I'm getting older too. So for many, it can lead to daily pain, fatigue, a variety of long term health problems. And while millions rely on common medications for relief, some experts say many of those treatments may only manage the symptoms rather than actually address the root problem. Now growing attention is being paid to new approaches, including the use of peptides that may work with the body in a different way. Joining me to discuss is the chief scientific officer at the wellness company, Dr. Peter McCullough. Doctor, nice to see you.
- [35:48]
Dr. Peter McCullough
Thank you.
- [35:49]
Steve Gruber
Let's talk about some of the common inflammation issues that you've seen through your practice. Is it knee pain, is it shoulder pain, is it muscular pain? What kind of things are impacted by inflammation in the day to day life of millions of people?
- [36:04]
Dr. Peter McCullough
It's very important, Steve. You know, as we get older, all of us get some stiffness and soreness. We're talking the back, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles. And you know, it may not be pain every day, but there's this general stiffness sometimes just feeling our joints have gotten older. And many reach for acetaminophen or nonsteroidal medications like ibuprofen. But at the Wellness company, we've innovated with some short signaling peptides. These are short amino acid chains. They're readily absorbed in the mouth in the form of a drop. The product's called Regenerate. And these signal the body to repair these joints and tendons as well as muscles. And boy, is it a revolution, people. You certainly can take pain relievers when you need them. But to address systemic inflammation at the root cause and fundamentally get better, I'm suggesting to my patients regenerate. We need to use it for about six to 12 months as it works slowly but very positively for improving health.
- [37:11]
Steve Gruber
And that's tackling the underlying problems that we're talking about here. Because what you're talking about here, Doctor, as you get older, you still want to go for a walk, you still want to ride the bike, walk the beach, whatever it might be. These are quality of life issues you're talking about, for sure.
- [37:26]
Dr. Peter McCullough
And you know, we combine it with a topical product, also has peptides and it's called Therablue. So it's a combination of peptides, botanicals, menthol, and even methylene blue to rub into those joints that are accessible, like the knees, the ankles, the elbows. And I think if we do this and not just take pain relievers, we can get on a pathway to much better musculoskeletal health and function. And Steve, I feel it. I still run at my age and you know, I feel my joints getting a bit old, but I don't want to give up positive health habits. And these products are going a long way to keeping America healthy.
- [38:06]
Steve Gruber
Yeah. And let's be honest about those. Even if you're just taking Tylenol or ibuprofen or whatever it might be, long term use daily use of those products, that can be problematic. So you probably don't want to do that long term. You want to be able to rely on rejuvenating your bone and your tissue and your muscles. Right?
- [38:24]
Dr. Peter McCullough
That's right. You know, combined with certainly a healthy diet. Weight loss, stretching, strengthening, conditioning. We believe the oral product regenerate, which is the form of drops, about 30 drops a day in a small amount of water in your coffee, and then topically, Therablue. That's the way to go. Patients who take lots of nonsteroidal anti inflammatories like ibuprofen or naproxen. The risks are stomach ulcers and bleeding and then kidney damage. You're taken occasionally, it's okay, but not every day. I'd go with regenerate and Therablue and fundamentally improve musculoskeletal health.
- [39:04]
Steve Gruber
Well, and you made one other comment there. I'd like to circle back to weight loss. Well, if you're moving more, if you're active and you're not sitting on the couch because you're sore, you're gonna have better outcomes with your weight as well, aren't you?
- [39:18]
Dr. Peter McCullough
For sure. Once ergonomics get better and strength and conditioning get better, the weight is more easily lost. So if we make positive changes in our diet, weight loss tends to kind of cement those changes and put us at a lower body weight. Lower body weight. Your joints love it. It's way better for your back, hips, shoulders, knees. It's the way to go.
- [39:41]
Steve Gruber
All right. And I appreciate that, Doctor, because I like an active lifestyle, so I appreciate you being here. Dr. Peter McCullough from the Wellness Company. These products, Regenerate and Therablue, are available at TWC Health Voice. You can get a break on the price today as well, and you can get to feeling better.

Use the promo code. Voice. You're going to save 10% right now and get on the path to a more productive and happier life. Don't sit there. Get it done.

All right. What makes America wonderful? We do it every day with the hope of putting a smile on your face like this one. Yeah. Today's story comes to us from the state of Maryland where two state troopers are being hailed as heroes after performing a miraculous rescue at the drop of a dime. Alright. Trooper first Class Taylor Hirsch and Corporal Jonathan Stoltzfuss got dispatched to do a welfare check one morning. And while they were handling that, a frantic woman ran up and informed them that an infant wasn't breathing. Without hesitation, both men ran toward the woman, performed life saving maneuvers for the little one. In fact, we've got the body cam footage of the rescue. Watch this. Choke on anything. He.
- [42:38]
Erica Donalds
All he was doing is drinking to drink. He's throwing.
- [42:40]
Steve Gruber
He's just spitting up. Come on, buddy. Come on. Is he breathing at all? Breathing. Breathing. Hey, hey. Here, let me see him. Bud. You go get where I'll go.
- [42:57]
David Morales
Are you breathing, bro?
- [42:59]
Steve Gruber
Come here. Come here.
- [43:01]
David Morales
Are you breathing?
- [43:06]
Steve Gruber
Wow. Preparation and the way to make a decision without warning helped the little one that day. And today those traits remind us what makes America wonderful. You know, when you hear people insult law enforcement, just remember videos like that because that stuff goes on every single day and rarely do you get a chance to hear about it. And that makes America wonderful. All right, your question of the day. What are your thoughts on NASA sending astronauts back toward the moon today? Paulie Detmer says I'm for it. I may mean more of us today than it did during the Apollo missions. All right, cool. Monica Schwartz. I love space exploration. It shows me we need to grow and expand our horizons. God bless. True USA has this good stuff. Gonna have a beer at the Sebastian River Inlet. Watching history again in my lifetime. John Hogan says they seem to be overly cautious. The new moon base will give invaluable information for a Mars base. Should have not done a flyby and just landed and build the base. And veggie people, I say they scrub it last minute. Well, veggie people, we reject you for that. Look, I think this is great. My opinion, America does great things. All right. America does great things. We're now well inside three hours. Will the weather hold? I hope so. Like I said earlier, I had the great good fortune of watching John Glenn get launched into space on one of the space shuttle missions, STS 95, all the way back in 1999. And when you're on that front row and they light that bottle rocket, you've never been more proud to be an American in your life. The earth moves and you feel good because we do great things in America. That's what we're all about. And that makes America great as well. Don't forget to join me tomorrow morning to start your day. First thing, we'll have a video of the launch, hopefully to share with you that at 6am The Steve Jober show, kicking off live coverage on Real America's Voice Monday through Friday. You never want to miss it. And until then, have a great afternoon.
