This is an iHeart podcast. This is America's Voice live. And welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Urick. The pulse of the people. We need somebody that's going to hear the people's voice, the truth the mainstream won't touch. This guy is by definition a globalist. And the stories that matter, Rav's own Ben Berklam.

Brandon Arnold
Right up over this hill, we got a little cartel.

Ben Berklam
I see him.

Steve Urick
I see him. I see him live. Breaking news right now here on Real America's Voice. Unfiltered, 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 Guver. It is Wednesday, the 22nd of October, in the year of our Lord 2025. Let's get to the day's top stories. As always, thank you for being here and spending time with us on Real America's Voice. We appreciate it. North Carolina Republicans racing to redraw the map and gain an extra seat in Congress, maybe two. State Senate approved the plan along party lines, setting up a crucial House vote today. It will pass, bringing on Congressman Mark Harris of North Carolina to discuss adding to his majority. Also, the Schumer shutdown still in effect 22 days later. But a group of Republican House members are moving ahead with a plan to extend Obamacare subsidies, but they will not do that until Democrats end the government shutdown on that as well. And then later, the Department of Justice urging a probe into the University of Nevada, Reno, UNLV for allegedly using taxpayer funds to assist illegal aliens with financial aid opportunities and job listings on campus, which ignored standard work authorization practices. All that and more coming your way. But I want to start with what's happening today in the nation of Nigeria. It's time to draw your attention to a bloodbath, an outright slaughter that's been going on right under our noses for years in the fake news media and those screeching left wing activists, they don't seem they could possibly care less. Today we're talking openly about genocide, a real genocide that nobody seems to care about. I'm talking about the vicious, unrelenting violence against Christians in Nigeria. Yeah, you heard that right. Christians being hunted down like animals and slaughtered by radical Islamist militants. And the world yawns. Picture this. Innocent families huddled in their villages, praying in their churches, only to be ambushed by jihadist thugs from groups like Boko Haram and Fulani Herdsmen. These Savages storm in with AK47s, machetes and fire, slaughtering men, women and children in cold blood. Listen to this pastor who had 150 of his congregants and seven of his own brothers cut down right in front of him. Here he is. What really happened here is not only in this village that we are affected by this crisis, were affected by more than 11 villages, which Mayanga happens to be one. And in these villages, it is the same method of attack that was conducted is the killing, the maiming of people, slaughtering them, and burning of their houses and their foodstuffs and properties. So by now, by the record, we have already collected, we have over 150 people that are killed in one day. In one day. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and beheaded, entire communities wiped off the map. And for what? Because these people dare to follow Jesus Christ in a region where Sharia law and extremism run rampant? It's not just random crime, folks. It's targeted persecution. A slow rolling, deadly genocide aimed at erasing Christianity from northern Nigeria. The mainstream media might be silent, but these pastors are sharing their stories left and right. Like this one who says he wishes he could spend his time preaching the gospel, but is instead having to bury his Christian brothers and sisters almost every day. Here he is. The house of the pastor was also burned down. Every day we bury people. We are not ordained for funeral services. We are ordained to preach the good news of Jesus Christ. But burial has taken in fact, the place of that one now. So we want to stand here and condemn this that happened. This horror fueled by extreme Islamic ideology, plain and simple. Groups like Boko Haram pledge allegiance to ISIS and push a version of Islam that demands jihad against infidels. That's Christians in their book and anybody else that doesn't agree. They enforce Sharia law through terror, banning Western education, subjugating women, and executing anyone who doesn't submit. The Fulani militants, radicalized by similar Wahhabi influences, justify their land grabs and massacres as a holy war, blending tribal conflicts with religious fanaticism to wipe out Christian farmers. And this isn't moderate anything. It's the dark underbelly of radical Islam that feeds hatred, intolerance and violence. We've seen it before in ISIS caliphates, Taliban rule, and now it's devouring Nigeria one bloody village at a time. And don't think it will stop there. This Nigerian pastor tells the truth about extreme Islam ideology. Here's what he says. In the north of Nigeria, Christians are being killed Daily. Because the Islamic militants don't want Christians to exist in the north of Nigeria. They want to see a world where there are no Christian at all. And they want to conquer not just Nigeria, they want to conquer Africa, they want to conquer Europe and they want to conquer America. The younger generation who want to live in a better world must speak out. Today. Open Doors ranks Nigeria as one of the worst places on earth for believers. Jihadist attacks are skyrocketing and the government's doing squat about it. In fact, the Nigerian government is straight up denying it at all. But the blood of these fallen saints cries out from the ground louder than their denials. Here's more. We are dying to be outside performing burial, everything and they expect us to. Silence now is an order Nigerian government came out openly and denied. There is no massacre, there is no genocide of Christians in Nigeria. And look at it today. Is there any Muslim here? United Nations. I know you are watching me. American Senate. You are watching what I'm doing. I'm saying here. Special Advisor to Trump. Now please tell Trump to save our life in Nigeria. They are killing Christians in Nigeria. Massacre Christians. Let me ask again, where is the United Nations? Two things they have to do. Stop war, Stop genocide. The UN is a miserable failure. Here's where it gets me really fired up, folks. The hypocrisy of the so called progressive crowd, especially those pro Palestine protesters clogging up our college campuses and our city streets. Oh, they're out there waving flags, chanting slogans, demanding justice for Gaza. And don't get me wrong, any loss of innocent life is tragic. But where's the outrage for Nigerian Christians? Where is it? These same activists who lose their minds over every headline from the Middle east are stone cold silent when it comes to Africa. How compassionate. And the question is why? Here's why. It doesn't fit their narrative. In Gaza, they can paint Israel as the big bad guys, stir up anti Western sentiment and virtue signal till their hearts are content. But in Nigeria, you see the perpetrators are Muslim extremists targeting Christians. Oops. That messes with the religion of peace, myth and the left's allergy to defending Judeo Christian values. They don't care about these individuals because acknowledging it would expose their selective outrage. No marches in New York for the Nigerian martyrs, no celebrity tweets, no UN resolutions. Just silence. As Christians in Nigeria mourn the loss of their homes, their churches, their loved ones and respond like this. Not with bombs, not with bombs, but with worship and praise. Watch we press your name. Even that liberal comedian Called out the media for ignoring the Christian persecution in Nigeria while obsessing over other conflicts. Listen to Bill Maher. If you don't know what's going on in Nigeria, your media sources suck. You are in a bubble. And again, I'm not a Christian. But they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They've killed over 100,000 since 2009. They've burned 18,000 churches. This is so much more. These are Islamists, Boko Haram. This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza. They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this? Thank you, thank you.
- [10:04]
Emily Sturge
No one will talk about it, so thank you.
- [10:06]
Steve Urick
Absolutely.
- [10:09]
Emily Sturge
It's Africa. That's why no one's talking about it.
- [10:11]
Brandon Arnold
And they should be.
- [10:12]
Emily Sturge
You can't read about it in mainstream media.
- [10:13]
Steve Urick
It's sad. So thank you for bringing it. Well, Vicky, the Jews aren't involved. That's why it's the Christians and the Muslims who care. Yeah, the Jews aren't involved. Online discussions are buzzing about it. Why the negligible coverage for Nigeria compared to Gaza? Why? Think about it. Search for Gaza news, you'll drown in thousands of articles from cnn, the New York Times, the BBC. Search for Nigerian Christian violence. Good luck finding much of anything. It's not because the stories aren't there. You've already seen that. It's because the media elite prioritized narratives that bash Israel and America while ignoring threats from radical Islam. Let's bring it home, shall we? This extreme Islamic ideology is not only toxic to Nigeria, it has no place in America. We cannot let Sharia law creep in through the back door, undermining our Constitution, our freedoms and our way of life, which is what it currently threatens to do. In fact, it's been promised by some mullahs living here in in America now. That's why I'm cheering on Senator Tommy Tuberville who just introduced the no Sharia act to ban Sharia law outright in the United States. Here's what he said. You also won't hear from Democrats about how radical Islamic terrorists are currently carrying out a mass genocide of Christians in Nigeria. Think about this. More than 62,000 Christians have been slaughtered since 2000 by radical Islamic terrorists in Nigeria. You heard that right, 62,000. And just this year alone, more than 7,000 Nigerian Christians have been murdered because of their faith alone. You can't turn on the TV without hearing about Israel's so called mass genocide of Palestinians every day. And yet when it comes to 62,000 Christians being slaughtered by radical Muslims. Radio silence. This extreme ideology is straight from the pit of hell and it has no place in American society. You know, Tuberville alongside Senator Cornyn slams the door on any attempt to impose this foreign legal system that clashes with our values and is unconstitutional. Think forced marriages, honor killings, or suppressing free speech altogether with complete prejudice. My friends, we cannot stand by silently. This is about defending our values, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, including the freedom to worship without fear. Share this call your members of Congress support leaders like Senator Tuberville who are willing to make America great again by leading on the world stage. The pro Palestinian crowd might not care, but I do. I do. Let's pray for those Nigerian brothers and sisters and fight like hell to bring their plight to light and save those that are still left. Oh, and by the way, just breaking north of Nigeria is Niger. We're just running of an American missionary kidnapped there today by Islamic radicals. It just happened. It's just clearing the wire as I sit here talking to you. So I again ask, who's with me? Who's with me? Coming up after the break, North Carolina is the latest state to move forward with a redistricting plan that will likely add at least one Republican seat to Congress. It's the latest response to California's gerrymandering plan. More details straight ahead here on america's Voice live. Careful what you wish for, Democrats. That's what I tried to tell you. Go ahead, play around in California, try to redistrict, Try to gerrymander California more than it already is. And the Republicans will respond today. North Carolina Republicans moving quickly to secure greater representation in Washington, pushing to add an 11th Republican seat to the state's 14 member congressional delegation. The state Senate approved the new congressional map Tuesday in a 2620 party line vote, setting up final consideration in the state House today. Under the plan, Republicans are redrawing the Northeast 1st congressional district to give the GOP a stronger advantage, a change that could flip the seat red as President Trump works to preserve Republican control of the US House. Headed toward the midterms. Here with me to discuss this is Congressman Mark Harris of North Carolina's 8th congressional district, a safe district, I might add. Congressman, nice to see you.
- [14:46]
Congressman Mark Harris
Steve, it's great to see you. Thank you so much for having me today.
- [14:51]
Steve Urick
Yeah. Let's talk about this a little bit. First of all, North Carolina is first, but you're not last. Indiana seems to be in cue. Ohio might play ball. Missouri might play Ball. And then you go to the Supreme Court where Louisiana has challenged the drawing of congressional districts based on race. If that goes through which I expect it will, that alone could add 12 Republican seats in places like Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and elsewhere south. So the Democrats, you got what you wanted. The turnout wasn't quite the same. What do you think Mark?
- [15:25]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, I think you're exactly right. I think they began playing with fire and I think that fire is what they have gotten. And in North Carolina of course as you mentioned, the state Senate took action yesterday introduced to the state House today and my understanding probably by tomorrow it will, it will have passed. And this is not something that the governor can veto or any other action. So this will will put us in a position in North Carolina to pick up an 11th of our 14 seats here. So I think it's critically important. I talked to a good friend of mine from Ohio just the other day and Ohio typically does this mid decade redistricting anyway and I would understand they could pick up as many as two seats there in Ohio. So to your point, I think we're going to continue to see this Tre that the Democrats have Gavin Newsom really began to promote.
- [16:22]
Steve Urick
Well let's run through the numbers then. Because Texas did that, they thought they might pick up five Republican seats in Texas. So California is going to load on vote on Proposition 50. I believe it is coming up here shortly. If it passes, California could add five Democrats. So basically Texas and California will equal each other out. So you go back to the 12 seats because I believe that will happen. The Supreme Court's going to vote that. You can't use race as a cornerstone for a congressional district. You can't stop constitutional. So there's 12. If Ohio does give you two. Say that again. Could you hold right there for one second? One second. We're checking on Scott beside he's answering some questions there at the White House. Real quick we're going to drop in and see what he has to say. 107% tax on Italian pasta. That's. Yeah, I'm not taking that.
- [17:15]
Brandon Arnold
Secretary.
- [17:19]
Emily Sturge
The president has hinted that there.
- [17:21]
Steve Urick
Could be some sort of deal coming around beef with Argentina. Can you provide any more information? I haven't spoken to him about that.
- [17:29]
Christina Bobb
Warren sent you a letter asking about the Argentina bailout, why this is happening.
- [17:33]
Steve Urick
During the government shutdown.
- [17:34]
Christina Bobb
You said it's justified as an essential purpose. Can you explain your thinking on that?
- [17:38]
Steve Urick
Well, here we are today I'm at work. The government is shut down. The Democrats. Let's look at the numbers it's 52 senators have voted. Republican senators have voted to reopen the government. Three Democrats have 52 to three. Senator Warren isn't one of them. So Senator Warren is welcome to come to the Treasury's economic literacy classes to understand what we're doing, and she can follow that. I will tell you the Argentinian government is open and they are running. So we were able to negotiate with them. There are many things we wanted to do. We want to get money out to our farmers, especially our soy farmers, but the government has been shut down. So I think the Democratic senators, I'd say to the moderate Democratic senators, you can be heroes, reopen the government. Secretary Besin, Secretary Beskin, one more, please.
- [18:31]
Brandon Arnold
Secretary Besin, will you sanction.
- [18:40]
Steve Urick
We are going to either announce after the close this afternoon or, or first thing tomorrow morning a substantial pickup in Russia's sanctions. All right, you heard him say it. Secretary of the treasury there, Scott Bessensing. More Russian sanctions could be on the way. We bring back in Congressman Mark Harris of North Carolina 8. You know, that happens, a little scramble with some Q and A there outside the White House. You've seen that happen. Let me get you to weigh in on that real quick. Then I'm going to go back to redistricting. But what about more sanctions on Russia to end this war in Ukraine?
- [19:29]
Congressman Mark Harris
Well, I think the president's been clear. I know I heard him say yesterday that he would have more information over the next two days that he would be able to share, announced that he was not going to be going to Budapest. So obviously there's more movement that's taking place here. The president is determined to continue to work toward peace and bringing an end to that war that is taking 7,000 lives every week. And he is just doing everything he can. And I believe that this is going to be an indication again to try to tighten down on Russia and get Putin to the table and get us where we we need to be. So and as I mentioned or heard just earlier today that maybe he hasn't taken Tomahawks off the table either. So I think that all those factors are going to continue to weigh in. I look forward to hearing what the new sanctions will be on Russia as they're announced.
- [20:25]
Steve Urick
All right, we'll keep an eye on that. Now let's pick up the conversation where we were. If North Carolina goes forward, and obviously they're going to I don't know if they voted yet today, but they will. So there's one seat. If Missouri sends one or two, Indiana sends one Ohio sends two and you pick up 12 because of the Supreme Court decision. Suddenly The Republicans have 21 new favorable districts. 21, you add that to the, what do you got, a five seat lead now or six, whatever it is, all of a sudden you're 25, 30 seats. It changes everything. And the Democrats can kick and scream all they want, but here's the math of it, Congressman. Right now, today, 150 million Americans in places like New England have zero members of Congress that are Republicans, zero. Contrary to that, only 53 million Americans live in states that have zero Democratic representation. So for the Democrats to talk about gerrymandering, they mastered the game, but they just got beat at it. And they don't like that, do they?
- [21:22]
Congressman Mark Harris
No, they don't like it at all. And listen, if we have that kind of majority, you are exactly right. It changes everything. Right now we're at 220 there to 15 when, when both sides are filled at that particular point. But that election in 2026 will give us an opportunity to really set the stage for the strong, strong two years of Donald Trump's second term. I think it would be phenomenal.
- [21:52]
Steve Urick
Well, and let me ask you this, North Carolina be my last question here. John Sununu, former senator from New Hampshire, just jumped in the race to become the senator again from New Hampshire. He's a marquee player, could put a Republican seat in Republican hands there in the United States Senate. But North Carolina seems problematic with Roy Cooper, the former governor, fairly popular Democrat in the state running for the Senate there. What do you think is going to happen in the North Carolina Senate race?
- [22:17]
Congressman Mark Harris
Think it is going to be a tight, tight race. North Carolina is historically known for having very tight Senate races. And I think the race that we're going to have, there's things that people are going to see and learn about Roy Cooper over the next year to year and a half that they are not aware of. And I think that really and truly the opportunity that is going to be presented there to expose him for what he is and who he is, he has certainly sold his soul to the Democratic Party, the left side of it. I know they like to present him as a moderate, but the reality is he has sold his soul. And listen, he was considered one of the finalists for Kamala Harris to choose as a running mate and he has supported her hook, line and sinker. And I think he's going to have to answer for a number of things he did during COVID from the shutdowns. He brought in North Carolina. People have not had opportunity to vote for him since we've gone through those things. This coming fall is going to be that opportunity.
- [23:18]
Steve Urick
Congress, always good to talk to you. We'll see how that plays out and keep a close eye on it as the as all of these things come into full relief. Thank you for being here today.
- [23:27]
Congressman Mark Harris
Thank you so much for having me.
- [23:30]
Steve Urick
Always appreciate it. There you have it. Mark Harris, good man from North Carolina. All right. We're gonna take a break here. And when we come back, a group of Republican House members are saying that they will extend Obamacare subsidies, but only if the Democrats and the government shut down. We'll talk about it coming up on america's Voice. They may not like it, but it is time for the Democrats to own Chuck Schumer's shutdown. It's denied paychecks to government workers for a couple of weeks now, except his, of course, with Democrats trying to force an Obamacare expansion that could cost upwards of $350 billion a year every year. Two parts of the budget are completely out of control, the massive interest on the national debt and federal health care spending because Obamacare is a disaster as it was designed to be. The United States is paying over a trillion dollars in interest on the national debt now every year. And the federal health care spending was nearly $2 trillion last year as well. Medicare and Medicaid are up a whopping 8%. Democrats demanding hundreds of billions more for additional health care spending. It's irresponsible. Tie back like adults and open the government. That's my take here to discuss this as the executive vice president at the National Taxpayers Union, Brandon Arnold. Brandon, nice to see you here. Look, what will be day 21? We got that clock right. I think we're on day 21. It just keeps rolling along and the Democrats are screaming. Maybe they don't realize, but you know, they had this no kings protest over the weekend, right? In what place with a king could the minority party, the party that lost the House, the Senate and the White House, shut down the government? Not much of a king. Donald Trump.
- [25:17]
Brandon Arnold
That'S a great point. You talk about the shutdown clock, which is disturbing and certainly starting to affect regular Americans, average Americans, not just federal employees. But it's having much broader effects and Democrats are doing that for political leverage. It's the height of irresponsibility. And by the way, the other clock that you showed that I think is even more important is the national debt clock. As we tick closer and closer to $38 trillion in national debt to see Democrats trying to extract 400 or so billion dollars in higher health care spending. As you noted in your intro here, spending is out of control across the board, but particularly in the healthcare space. So to force that upon this country right now, at a time when we are literally drowning in debt, just the height of irresponsibility and extremely frustrating.
- [26:07]
Steve Urick
Past $38 trillion in debt, that the Democrats are demanding we pay more. And the idea, I mean, how naive do you have to be, Brandon, to believe all these illegal aliens, they're not getting any benefits from this health care. They're not getting any benefits here and there that would never happen. I mean, come on, what planet were you born on? Of course, there's fraud. There's fraud from illegals, there's fraud from American citizens. There's piles of fraud every single day to the tune of trillions of dollars in this country. Anybody that would say otherwise is just, to me, delusional. Am I wrong?
- [26:38]
Brandon Arnold
You are absolutely right. You know, listen, the Congressional Budget Office, which counts the beans when it comes to federal policy, when the Republicans came forward with these, these good government policies to get people off of the Medicaid rolls who shouldn't be on there, they said it would save billions of do if there weren't people illegally on the Medicaid rolls. If there weren't people abusing the system, then the score for those policies would have been $0. It wouldn't have saved a nickel. And Democrats retort by saying, hey, the law says that illegal immigrants cannot be on Medicaid, therefore they are not on Medicaid. That is absolutely naive, as you point out. Listen, a lot of things are illegal and a lot of people break the law, you know, and that's frustrating to see in any aspect, but particularly here when they are bilking the system to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. We need to institute these types of reforms and we need to restore some degree of sanity and responsibility to the federal budget.
- [27:35]
Steve Urick
Where's Doge? That's just what I want to know. Where is Doge these days? You know, Elon Musk left. You don't hear much about it these days. Is it still working? Is it still going? Is it still finding the fat trimming and finding the waste, fraud and abuse and getting rid of it? Is that still going on?
- [27:51]
Brandon Arnold
It is. DOGE is still active. There's a Doge Congress on Capitol Hill. There's a Doge entity within the White House. It is getting a lot less attention. Certainly not having Elon Musk play an integral role in it is a huge factor there. But, yeah, and their mission is never going to be over, let's be honest. Their mission is always going to have an important role here because there's always going to be waste in the federal government. We need to eliminate as much as we possibly can. But certainly some of the research that Doge did is informing some of these rifts, the laying off that they're doing a federal employees. I don't think we should need a shutdown to fire people that aren't doing their job and aren't contributing to the greater good. I think we should do that regardless of the status of the federal government. But I think their information that they've gathered through the research has been very, very helpful in that process.
- [28:37]
Steve Urick
Yeah. Look, I don't want people to lose their jobs, but the fact of the matter is the government's too big, it's too bloated, too many layers of bureaucracy, too many people on payroll. If it were a company of a private company had this problem, they would fix it by cutting people off. Sorry to hear that. But, Brandon, thank you for being here.
- [28:54]
Brandon Arnold
Always a pleasure. Thank you.
- [28:56]
Steve Urick
All right, after the break, I'll discuss the DOJ's attempts to follow through with a probe into the University of Nevada in Reno for using taxpayer funds to assist illegal aliens. Of course. We'll be back. All right. The University of Nevada in Reno in hot water today as the DOJ urging a probe into the Instrument institution for allegedly using taxpayer money to pay for illegal aliens. You've heard the story before. The DOJ asserts that UNR used these funds through their Undocupack Initiative, a program that pointed illegal immigrants to resources such as financial aid opportunities and job listings on campus with the promise that these opportunities were accessible without traditional employment authorization. You know, just cut the corner and cut the line. What's more is that a $90,000 scholarship opportunity presented by the Soros family was proudly displayed on these web pa which have since been deleted. And officials from the university have responded to the DOJ by claiming that this program was compliant with the law. Join me now to discuss campus reform. Correspondent Emily Sturge live from Washington, D.C. emily, nice to see you today.
- [30:07]
Emily Sturge
Great to be with you.
- [30:07]
Steve Urick
I find it hard to believe. I find it hard to believe that they're compliant with the law. Emily. I. I'm skeptical, but am I right to be skeptical?
- [30:16]
Emily Sturge
Oh, you're absolutely right. And Steve, for the past nine months of this administration, I have been thrilled to see the Department of Justice and the Department of Education investigate Target and cut taxpayer funded resources going to illegal alien students within our higher education system. This is just the latest example. The Department of Justice pushing for this investigation into the University of Nevada Reno is a fantastic step. And look, the university was very quick to scrub those web pages from their university website. But as a reporter for the Leadership Institutes campus reform, I was able to put my technology skills to the test. I was able to find archived versions of the university web pages and can confirm that the university was in fact advertising scholarships, financial aid, jobs that don't require proof of citizenship, as well as free legal services to illegal alien students. And at the end of the day I'm not shocked because this is a pattern that we're seeing at universities across the country.
- [31:14]
Steve Urick
So how are they to get away with this? The rules have been issued, executive orders have been written and signed. We're trying to prevent the leaching of American taxpayer dollars to people who should not have them in a variety of places, especially on campus. What happens when underprivileged kid in America who needed that funding, who needed that help, do they just get tossed away? What happens?
- [31:36]
Emily Sturge
Well, absolutely. Illegal immigrant students get scholarships, they get discounted tuition rates and American students get sky high tuition rates and student loans. I'm glad to see the administration looking into this one campus, but we can go much further with this. There are hundreds of university campuses providing taxpayer funded resources to illegal alien students. The administration can also take a look at the University of Nevada's other campus in Las Vegas. The University of Nevada Las Vegas has a law school there. They have accepted more than $2 million in taxpayer funding to provide deportation defense and free legal services to illegal aliens, students, staff and family members. For the past week of my life I have gone through state and county funding report reports to bring you that statistic. I have found over $2 million worth of taxpayer funds going to that specific law clinic on that campus. But this is nationwide. I've been reporting on these deportation, defense, free legal services at university campuses across the country. Tulane University in New Orleans, American University in D.C. just to name a few. Are some of the other campuses providing these resources to.
- [32:47]
Steve Urick
So it's rampant, it's a problem across the country and they don't seem to care. Even when they get caught, they say, well, we weren't doing anything wrong. But they are. Emily, I'll give you the last word.
- [32:58]
Emily Sturge
Well, if these university campuses want to become sanctuaries for illegal aliens, be my guest. But they shouldn't be taking a dime of taxpayer resources. They shouldn't be taking a dime of federal funding, state funding or county funding. And that's unfortunately what's going on right now. I'm not shocked by any of this because I have uncovered millions of dollars going to scholarships, discounted tuition rates, financial resources, things like that, going to illegal alien students. I'm going to continue spotlighting it, but it's on this administration to investigate and hopefully cut it.
- [33:33]
Steve Urick
Emily, thank you for the hard work. Maybe they could take it out of their endowment funds. They've all got big ones. That's where they should get the money. Emily, thank you very much. Greatly appreciate it.
- [33:41]
Emily Sturge
Thanks so much for having me.
- [33:43]

That's right, America to 98. 98 98. Do it today. And well, Free Silver's on the way. Don't go anywhere. America's Voice Live will continue after a brief commercial break where I'll bring on former Trump attorney Christina Bobb to discuss the last draconian tactics and how they are being exposed one crime at a time. Details ahead. Well, while Democrats claim they are the ones on the side of law and order, it seems as if their side is always in the midst of controversy or some big scandal that's blowing up all the time. For starters, John Bolton knowingly and carelessly shared diary like entries of his personal notes containing classified information to seemingly anyone, regardless of the fragile contents within them. That is the accusation. And of course, most recently, Jack Smith, who allegedly ordered his Arctic Frost team to tap and Track the phone calls of various Republican lawmakers during the January 6 probe that happened, happened while these cases are still developing, the fact of the matter is this, Democrats are willing to stoop to even lower levels. And it's never a surprise when accountability comes into play. I'm not. They are here with me to discuss former Trump attorney, author of the book Defiant Christina Bobb. There's the book and there's Christina. Christina, how are you today? Great.

Christina Bobb
Thanks for having me, Steve.
- [35:57]
Steve Urick
Let's start with John Bolton. You and I have not discussed that one yet. And 18 counts, 26 page indictment. It's violations of the Espionage Act. This is serious trouble he has here. And he bragged about a lot of this on, you know, cable talk shows and so forth. How much legal trouble is he in?
- [36:19]
Christina Bobb
A lot. I mean, any. I can tell you as a criminal defendant myself, any criminal case is a lot of legal trouble. But 18 counts, counts violating unlawful disclosure and retention of classified materials is nothing to laugh at. It's far more significant than what they charged President Trump with. President Trump was supposedly obstructing justice when they were trying to investigate him. I mean, they have 39 counts of that. They never once alleged that he unlawfully gave anybody else access. They were just saying that, that he was sloppy in how he maintained his records and he obstructed justice was basically the allegation, which, again, no victim. Right. But with this, they're saying that he was actually disseminating classified information. And I will also highlight that this comes from a Maryland grand jury. This case is filed in Maryland, which is a very liberal district. So he has a favorable jury pool. And they still found enough probable cause to indict him.
- [37:23]
Steve Urick
And speaking of liberal grand juries. And look, this is why I say to the Democrats, relax. The grand juries are coming from Maryland, from dark blue Northern Virginia, where James Comey was indicted for lying to Congress. Tish James was indicted for mortgage fraud. I mean, that's how the system is supposed to work. The grand jury takes a look at the evidence presented. They make a decision. Usually it's about 25 people. You never know who. And they never disclose the conversation. But that's why the system is in place, to make sure that people that get indicted get indicted for the right reasons, correct?
- [37:56]
Christina Bobb
100%. And they're trying to sway the courts through the media, through the court of public opinion. They're trying to muddy the waters enough because they know that the Trump Department of Justice can get convictions on these because there's enough evidence to actually get convictions. And so they're trying to create foment enough discussion about this negatively towards the Trump DOJ to try to get the courts to throw the cases out because they have liberal juries, they also have liberal judges in these areas. And so they're trying to create enough of a shield for these judges to dismiss the case. If the judges follow the law, the cases should not be dismissed. As far as I can tell, you know, there hasn't been anything that I've seen reported that's improper about any of this. But, but I mean, it's a battle. The venues for all of these is against the Trump doj.
- [38:48]
Steve Urick
Well, we'll see how it plays out. Donald Trump winning a lot of court victories lately, even from the ninth Circuit Court of Appeals when it comes to putting the National Guard into Portland. So even the liberals sometimes realize they can't avoid what's written in the laws and they have to give rulings based on that. John Brennan, he seems to be concerned right now. I hope he is lawyered up because it looks like he might be the next contestant here for the DOJ to go after. What do you think?
- [39:15]
Christina Bobb
Well, it looks that way. And what's interesting to me about this is that it was referred by Congress by Jim Jordan saying, hey, he lied to us when he testified and, you know, he lied about the Steele dossier. He knowingly gave us false information. He knew that the information he was giving to Congress was false. It contradicted the CIA reporting and all of the information that he had from the intelligence community. And he just flat out lied to Congress. So, you know, they can say, oh, the Trump DOJ is just going after Trump's political opponents. Well, this one's not coming from the Trump doj. This one's coming from Congress. So, you know, I hope.
- [39:50]
Steve Urick
Let me ask you something else here.
- [39:52]
Christina Bobb
Yeah.
- [39:53]
Steve Urick
Here's something that I saw from Joe Scarborough this morning. It just, you probably didn't see it. I didn't mean to see it, but I saw it. I couldn't help myself. Scarborough warning Republicans, you know, if the Democrats get back in charge, they could weaponize the intel and DOJ against you guys. And I'm like, haven't we already been there? Isn't that how we got here in the first place?
- [40:13]
Christina Bobb
That is how we got here.
- [40:14]
Steve Urick
Dirty dealing. Yeah. I mean, come on. That's what the lynch did. They think, well, gosh, we never did this. Come on, seriously.
- [40:24]
Christina Bobb
It is exactly how we got here. I mean, again, to reiterate, I am currently a criminal defendant in. And none of the liberals are saying, hey, all of these Trump electors need to be exonerated. These cases need to be dismissed. It was something these state and local AGs and DAs were trying to influence the 2024 election and it didn't work. Thank God. One judge in Michigan already threw it out. The other judges need to throw it out. My case is hanging by a thread and there's not a single liberal report out there saying this is wrong. It needs to be drawn. So you know, their cries ring hollow to me when they're only crying about this on one side.
- [41:05]
Steve Urick
Christina, I look forward to the day that you come back here on the program and those charges have gone away. I do, for your sake. Thank you for being here. Me, too.
- [41:13]
Christina Bobb
Thanks.

All right, the tax extension deadline passed October 15th. But for millions of Americans, the real trouble, well, it's still brewing. If you miss that deadline or owe back taxes. The IRS is ramping up enforcement. Every day you wait only makes it worse. Here's the harsh reality.

After the break, we'll have a story that reminds us of just how wonderful this country still is. Plus, your answers to the America's Voice question of the day. Why do you think the mainstream media exaggerated the size of the turnout for the no Kings protests? I've got some ideas back after this. All right. What makes America wonderful? We do it every day to make sure you leave here with a smile on your face. It's a great country you live in. Today's story comes to us from Creskill, New Jersey, where a 101-year-old woman is still waking up bright and early to clock in at a shift for her job. Ann Angeletti, owner of Curiosity Jewelers, Kruskal, shares that the secret to her work ethic revolves around personal tenants, which Angeletti says are these. You must get up, you must shower, you must eat, you must take care of yourself. You must exercise. And if you don't like what you're doing, then change. Customers at Curiosity Jewelers note that Angeletti is a joy to be around and that she always ensures that customers get the best deals. And her work ethic is unmatched since most people her age would be retired by now permanently. Right. A strong work ethic is the moral of custody, is the day's story today. What better way to express this than to showcase that? Ann Angeletti at 101 getting after it. Her work ethic indicative of people who make America wonderful. Nice job to her. Why do you think the mainstream media exaggerated the size of the turnout for the no Kings protest? Come on now. Nasty 0701 they paid to. I hope that they paid taxes on that. We don't want any tax evasion here. Bohica Bob because the size of the turnout is tiny compared to the turnout for the Trump election. 11:20, 24 John Hogan writes Democrats can't help themselves when thinking they have support of the people. Simply put, they lie. Real Carolina girl writes this oh, they desperately want to believe they're the majority. They're not supporter 78 they weren't funded by our government because it shut down. And I believe more people are waking up to the truth due to all the exposures and indictments. Receipts, receipts, receipts, you got it. If you want to be part of the question of the day here on the program, go to all those social media sites, hammer the like button and follow me. I might feature you right here the next time around.

Ben Berklam
Brian Glenn right now because Trump is ready to speak or something and if you know he loves the 4 o' clock hour grouper something you may not experience but he adores four o'. Clock. So we're trying to figure out if we could have a show. Have a show, quarter show. In fact the wonderful O'Reilly interview that we taped yesterday, we're trying to squeeze it in before they. So you caught me texting Brian Glenn to find out if he has any inside information on when. When this when this NATO gentlemen or people are going to show up and.
- [45:34]
Steve Urick
They'Re gonna just give me a little preview of the O'Reilly thing. Was he fired up? Was he ready to go? Is he a little spicy?
- [45:41]
Ben Berklam
He's, he's the, the most, the author of the most number one New York Times best selling books in history. And there's not even a second but Bob Woodward's number two. We just talked. It's called, you know, the worst people in the history of the world. And I, you know, I kind of asked him how many Americans were. He's, he was fascinated. But I did ask him this. Gerber, you're gonna watch this in interview because I said, bill, I've known you a long time. I filled in for you 250 times when I was at Fox, when you like to take Fridays off. I was there for you every Friday. Bill, you seem like you're coming around to Trump a lot more than you used to be. Are you straight up a pro? Trump MAGA took him back a little bit. And I will not blow the surprise group. We're gonna have to watch because we're gonna try and get it in. I got the next couple of minutes before the President steals the hour from us again. Again. So we'll see.

Steve Urick
He started killing Patton, killing Lincoln, killing Kennedy. I've read Killing the, the Rising Sun. I've read a whole bunch of those books. They're really, really good. You know, I've never talked personally in.
- [47:00]
Ben Berklam
My life, but Ben, tell me it's confronting evil. And then there's, oh, that's right, we see Hitler, Mao Zedong and a couple of other the worst people in the history of the planet. Assessing the worst of the worst. I'm birdie in my ears. So, yeah, so it's another, you know, Bill. And then here's this ready for this last question. I said, bill, you got a lot of money. You got more money than God. You've been doing this a long time. What, what makes Bill O'Reilly get up every morning and do it.
