Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Guru. It is Friday the 3rd of October, the year of our Lord 2025. As always, thank you for joining me here in Real America's Voice. We truly appreciate seeing you here on this Friday. We have a lot to get to, from the booming markets today to the Schumer shutdown as well as anti Semitism and crime. Let's dive right in today. We've got a lot to cover, so let's get to it. The Schumer shutdown has entered day three. The Democrats are holding the government hostage, all because of their America Last agenda. You see, the Democrats thought this would be detrimental for America. However, the market's reacting completely differently than I think they expected. US equities are on the rise with the Dow surpassing 47,000 earlier today for the first time ever, as Wall street zeroed in on the promise of artificial intelligence. Despite the ongoing government shutdown, which has postponed the release of the monthly jobs report, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed by as much as 1.1%, pulling the broader market higher. The S and P added about a half a percent. And the tech heavy NASDAQ right now is flat for the day, weighed down by a drop in Tesla shares and Apple, too. All three indexes are on track to close the week at record highs, even though as investors have largely struggled and shrugged off the early stages of the federal government shutdown, they don't seem to give it much credence. Here with me to discuss this is the founder and chairman of Sawchuk. Well, Terry Sawchuk, as well as the founder and CEO of Kovar Capital, Taylor Kovar. Gentlemen, thank you for being here. Terry, let me start with you. Look, there's mixed numbers out there from what I can tell, and here's what I mean by that. The jobs numbers have been weaker than people would like, but the New housing sales surged 20%. Interest rates are down. Inflation still too high, a weak dollar, a lot to digest for the average guy out on the street. What's your knee jerk reaction for today? What's your impression?
C
I think Steve, generally the economy is in better shape than what it's purported to be. I would say there's a few things that are beneficial. One is, I don't know if you notice but oil prices are down to about 60 bucks a barrel. That's just more recently. So that's going to trickle in and bring inflation down. The 10 year treasury is back to 4.1%. So these are things that reduce the friction when it comes to doing business on a day to day basis. And as long as unemployment doesn't drop massively, I think what we'll see is the market continue to push higher. Although I will say we're in a seasonally weak period of time right now. So we could get a little chop over the next few weeks but it's probably more by the dip than it is anything else.
A
Yeah, as I look at other stocks here today, Apple came in disappointing Taylor, but Nvidia continues to have a pretty good three or four months. That stock doing well and that's obviously it's one of the stocks that a lot of people hold. What do you see when you see the overall economy right now?
D
There we go. Right now we're seeing a lot of people are voting with, with their wallets.
C
Right.
D
So even though we don't have a lot of information because of the government shutdown, people are still feeling very bullish that what is happening is good in the long term. And obviously we're seeing Nvidia, we with their strong AI track record running full force. And so I think, you know, it's anticipated that the markets are going to continue to climb. Now I say that hesitantly because we don't know.
C
Right.
D
We didn't get a jobs report today. So I think it's really time to be cautious with our money but also optimistic and ready to move as the markets move.
A
Yeah, there are opportunities out there. Let's see what else is going on. Bitcoin surging today up to what, 122,000. Gold not quite to the all time high of 4,000, but it's right there about to break $4,000. Looks like silver is at a place that has not been in years and years, Terry. I mean every place I look, if you're invested in the markets, if you're invested in metals, if you're invested in cryptocurrency, a lot of upside today, but does it hold?
C
That's a good question. I would say, Steve, that much of this has to do with the fact that global liquidity is on the rise. When you look at M2 in the United States and you look at other global central banks, other countries are easing, they're dumping liquidity into the system and it works until it doesn't. And these things can run away. When everyone's bullish is when you get a little bit nervous. Right now there's a mixture. You've got certainly a lot of bullish people out there, but you still got quite a few people that are talking about rising unemployment and some other things. As long as that balance remains, what I'd be really cautious about is if we see inflation, I'm sorry, unemployment get to around five and a half percent. That's where the flows start to go from positive to negative. And the one thing I will say is that with the odte these zero days to expiry options, they do a great job of compressing volatility on a short term basis. But if we get into a place where, you know, you get outside the hedging, then the market could dump and could, could dump quickly. But I just don't think we're there yet.
A
Yeah, George Patton said, Taylor, if everybody's thinking the same thing, then somebody isn't thinking. I think that's the point that Terry just made there. If everybody's like, oh, time to get in. This is just going to go on forever. Look, October, historically speaking, has been a rough month for investments in America. A couple of things come to mind. 1929, 1987. But if everybody is thinking the same, everything, this is going to go on forever. It's not. Obviously these markets slow down, they cool off, but where are the opportunities, do you think?
D
Yeah, I still see a lot of opportunity again in the AI market. I think we're still very much on this AI bubble. Right. So I see a lot of technology as an opportunity, as it kind of always is in fang, but really we see it across the board with the rate cuts that we just experienced, anticipated rate cuts coming on, hopefully the beginning of the year. I think we're going to see some real estate movements, some REITs and some, some companies that are really focused heavy in real estate see a surge. And so I've told people, hey, get your capital ready, be cautious, but let's stay optimistic and be ready to move.
A
Terry, let me ask about something you mentioned oil being down at $60 in that neighborhood, West Texas Intermediate, for example. But energy. Chris Wright has done a, I think, an outstanding job in the short time he's been the Secretary of Energy in this country, just opening up 13 million acres to coal. Developed coal development, believe it or not. We never thought we would have heard that three or four years ago, that's for sure. But in this AI rollout, obviously we need mass amounts of energy. China's been eating our lunch at that. What about the energy sector? What about oil? What about coal? What about that AI development that needs all that energy? How important is that to the economy?
C
I think it's really important in terms of we need to make sure that we're out front. And I think we are on the AI side of things. We're still building out the infrastructure. And the thing about the artificial intelligence space is that it's not just at the corporate level, but governments around the world are also going to join this race and they're going to need compute, and so you're going to need energy for that. So I think the Trump administration has done a good job working with David Sachs and others to try to get their head around the problem, and I think they'll do a good job of unleashing the energy piece. Because I'll tell you the other thing I think about oil prices, Steve, is that, you know, with oil at $6 a barrel, it makes it a lot harder for Putin and Russia to prosecute this war. And I think there's been a concerted effort to try to keep oil as low as they possibly can to squeeze Russia financially. And it seems to be working, honestly.
A
Yeah. You know, let me ask about this. I want to ask about the problems with Apple, Taylor. Apparently the iPhone 17, not as popular as they would have thought it was going to be. The new iPhone, they're making a folding model, apparently $2,000. I'm sorry, I like my phone as much as the next guy, but two grand for a phone in my hand, that's like an electronic tether. I think that maybe Apple priced themselves a little too. As my grandparents would have said, they got too big for their britches, potentially. Taylor, what do you make of that?
D
I agree. You know, I think you have people in Silicon Valley who's not maybe really living in the real world, right? And what we see here on Main street and small towns across the United States where people are really pinching their pen and to come out with a phone that is, you know, double what people are expecting to pay. And with now without a major improvement or upgrade I think it's just super unrealistic. So it's not a surprise that the iPhone 17 has had dismal sales. You know, Apple's a behemoth, but I think they really missed the mark on this one.
A
Yeah. Last question to you, Terry, because I'm sitting here looking at gold. It's just about the 3,901 of the reasons it is is because governments are buying gold right now on the world market. 3886 all time records broken like 40 times already this year for gold. Weak dollar. What does that mean for the future? Is it something we should be concerned about? I've had some people tell me if they thought if gold broke $4,000, it's a very bad sign for the American economy and the dollar as we move into crypto and other things. Last word to you.
C
I would say that the dollar's probably gotten beaten up pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised to see a little bit of reversal here. The things that we're doing, the longer the government shutdown goes on, the more jobs that get cut, the better off it might be for the US Dollar. I think it's just a sign that globally we're rerouting some trade, we're changing our alliances. You got the BRICs out there that are trying to create an alternative. Although I don't think it's going to work in the end, it's a little bit of concern about just massive global government debts running away. And so I wouldn't be surprised to see gold in the long term push higher, but it's probably a little overbought in the short term.
A
Yeah. And on that topic, Joni Ernst, the senator from Iowa, just proposed $2 trillion in federal cuts while the Democrats are away. I think that would not hurt a lot of people's feelings. Terry Taylor, thank you for being here. You can look both these gentlemen up online. If you have further questions, go ahead and check those guys out. Guys, thank you so much.
C
Good to see you, buddy.
A
Appreciate it. There you have it. All right. As we talked about yesterday, you probably knew this. Real America's Voice has partnered now with Angel Studios, a community driven media company that creates and distributes uplifting and family friendly entertainment, including films and shows with a focus on stories that amplify light and not darkness. And right now they're sponsoring an event called the International Christian Visual Media Storytellers Conference, a collection of filmmakers who make Christian content and submit that content for consideration to the movie theaters. Pretty cool, right? Tonight they're screening a movie called Zero Ad, which will premiere December 19 this year. Here with me to discuss this is real America's Voice correspondent Bo Davidson, who is at the event and Bo is with us yesterday. Bo, again, this is quite an event. If you're tired of all the darkness that you find on your streaming platforms, there are alternatives. Now the little Angel Theater, movie theater has become something much more powerful. It's pretty impressive to watch, isn't it?
E
Really is impressive, Steve. You think about how it's changed the industry as a whole, the whole notion of crowdfunding things. And then the Angel Guild, I think, has about a million and a half members now, which I hope that our viewers will go join under angel.com rev. But to your point about Sound of freedom and also 0ad, for instance, same director tonight, there's a screening for 0ad. You mentioned at the top of the broadcast in the year of our Lord. Let's go back. It was the year of our Lord. Jesus Christ is about to be born and King Herod hears the prophecy. He knows all about it, says a king is coming. What does he do? He goes to kill that king. All the boys under age two, interestingly enough, Jim Caviezel, who played the good guy Jesus Christ in Passion to Christ, plays King Herod in this movie. He plays the bad guy. A lot of prosthesis on, but I just saw a screening of the trailer of it and it is truly phenomenal. Alejandro Mataverde, who directed it, so same director as Sound of Freedom, beautifully shot, I believe, over in the Sahara Desert. And I'm excited to see the movie. I think people are going to be really moved by it. That's how a lot of Jim Caviezel and Alejandro's movies are. It will come out in December and the way to see a movie of this caliber is to join the Angel Guild and also, Steve, at this ICVM conference that's happening right now, the next Sound of Freedom could be being pitched at this very moment. That's why there's this consortium of producers and filmmakers that get together and that type of content could be being pitched and sold and distributed this very moment.
A
Yeah, you know, we were sitting here from the top of the program today talking about opportunities in the stock market for, for filmmakers, for storytellers. This presents new opportunities because for so long, Christian films or films of faith were basically boxed out. They were relegated to small dollar productions and B run movies. Not anymore. Because of angel primarily. They broke through and said, look, Sound of Freedom, which got totally smeared, as you know, by the left turned out to be a box office smash. And now they've got momentum. And now people have opportunities to tell stories that maybe would have been lost before. I'll give you the last word. Yeah.
E
Just to speak to that point. Netflix has an entire faith division. Why is that? I'd say Angel Studios. Why does Amazon prime have its own faith division? Working with John Irwin, House of David, number one prime series for the longest time and continued is going to continue to proliferate more material. So you look at prime, look at Netflix. They're listening. They know that there's money to be made. But more importantly, these stories that come from the heart, they amplify the light. Steve, you know this. We live in a dark world. We live in a dark time. It's important to amplify that light. And thank God for studios like angel who are pushing the narrative and extending this type of content to all of our great viewers.
A
Yeah, they're listening to those plays, Bo, but they might be hearing. I'm not sure they're listening because of what the other programming is on some of those networks that you mentioned. Anyhow, Bo Davidson, always appreciated. Thank you, sir. Enjoy the movie tonight.
E
Thank you. And angel.com rav, go join the guild there and you can become a premium member.
A
They have an angel.com rav. You heard it from Bo and you heard it from me. All right, after the break, I'll discuss the importance of the Second Amendment and how there have been more armed civilians who have thwarted active shooters than anybody ever tells you. Details coming up. All right, welcome back. As many of you know, I'm a big believer in the Constitution. It's on my desk every single day. It's right here in case I need it, especially the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms, the right to defend myself or you or whoever needs it. And for years now, the left has continued to lobby for more and more gun control, limiting the Second Amendment. And while we do have a problem with mass shootings in America that get all the headlines, gun control is not the solution. Allow me to explain. Reports show that the Crime Prevention Research center has documented 78 cases where an armed civilian stopped active shooters. 78 cases. Ones you've probably never heard of. On top of that, reports also show that the FBI has undercounted the number of these types of instances by a factor of at least three, showing systemic problems in the nation's record keeping regarding the politically potent issue of crime and safety. And you have to ask yourselves, why are they doing that? Here will be to discuss this the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, John Lott. Dr. John Lott. Doctor, nice to see you. Why does this stuff always get avoided? Look, in Michigan, obviously we had this terrible event last weekend, but a few weeks before that we had a guy that stopped an active shooter also in a church, who never killed anybody because he stopped him in his tracks. But you don't hear these stories very often. There's a lot more of them than ever make the headlines. Right?
F
Yeah. My guess is the whole gun control debate right now we have would be very different if the media would cover things like why these killers pick the targets that they do over and over and over again. In their diaries and manifestos, they explain that they go to places where people are banned from being able to go and have guns for protection. You know, these guys may be crazy in some sense, but they're not stupid. They're overwhelmingly suicidal, but they want to get attention and they know the more people they kill, the more media attention that they're going to be able to get. And they know if they go to a place where their victims aren't able to go and defend themselves in these so called gun free zones, they're going to be able to go and kill more people and get more media attention. You know, you don't need to get rid of the First Amendment. I'm not even sure how one would rewrite it in order to make sure that they wouldn't get the attention that they crave. But if you convince them that they're not going to be able to go and kill too many people because someone is going to be able to be there quickly on the scene to stop them, you take away their goal and you take away the incentives that they have to go and do these crimes. I mean, you just. On our website@crimeresearch.org, we have literally statements from several dozen of these mass murderers where they explain why they pick the targets that they do. And you know, the Minneapolis school shooter is no different. In that case, he went into great detail talking about what he learned from other mass murderers to go to places where, as he said, the victims would be unarmed. And the bizarre thing to me is that the media obviously reads the diaries and manifestos for these killers and talks about all sorts of things. They talk about in the Minneapolis case, they talk about how, well, maybe he attacked the school because his mom used to work there. Well, that's possible, but that's not what he talks about. What he talks about is, I mean, they can guess what might be the other reasons. But one thing they makes explicit not only where he attacks, but the time of day he attacks is to try to avoid anybody that might have a gun who might be able to limit the amount of carnage that he's going to be able to go and create. And I would think that's newsworthy. But for some reason the news.
A
I think it's newsworthy as well. Here's something else. Best guess, according to Grok, because you got about 22 million concealed carry permits in America, but you have several constitutional carry states now where no permit is required. So the best guess is about 30 to 40 million Americans carry a concealed weapon on a regular basis. And you and I have talked about this before, Doctor. Schools obviously get a lot of attention when there's a shooting at a school. Terrible thing. But schools that allow the staff and faculty to carry concealed, they don't have mass shootings when they don't know who's carrying. Could be a janitor, could be the math teacher, could be anybody on the campus of that school. You just don't have mass shootings because it's not a soft target. You've told me that before. Right, right.
F
I mean, there's over 10,000 public schools in the United States that have armed teachers and staff. We've 20 states over 20 states that allow it. There is since 2000, there has not been one single attack where anybody's been wounded or killed in any of the schools that allow teachers and staff to be able to go and carry. All the attacks have occurred in schools that ban it. And there's also attacks even when there's armed officers there. One debate I often have with conservatives is they want to have uniformed police officers in schools. And what people have to understand is one incredibly difficult job somebody in uniform has in stopping these attacks. You give real tactical advantages to the attacker. I mean, I suppose the easiest example I could give is we have air marshals on planes. Do you think the air marshals and planes ought to be in uniform? I assume not, because if they were, who do you think the attacker would take out first if there happened to be a terrorist on the plane? And if you have somebody in uniform there at a school, then what you do is the killer there can either wait for the officer to leave the area before he attacks, or he can move on to another building himself. Or if he's going to go and attack there, who do you think he takes out first? He takes out the police officer. Our research shows that in active shooting cases, even though civilians stop a greater share of these active shooting attacks than police do. Police are seven times more likely to end up being killed in active shooting attacks than civilians simply because if you have somebody with a concealed carry permit, the attacker doesn't know who it is that they have to worry about.
A
That's right. If you don't know who's shooting back, you'll go find a softer target. Crimeresearch.org if you want to know more for yourself and have the facts at your fingertips. Crime research.org Dr. John Lott, always appreciate seeing you, sir. Thank you.
F
Thank you very much.
A
There you have it. Underreported, not reported. The good guy with a gun doesn't get as much coverage as he should, that's for sure. Up after the break, the Tennessee National Guard has been deployed to Memphis now to try to clean up the streets of that Democrat run city from violent crime. We'll bring on a Tennessee state, state representative next to discuss it. We'll be right back. The Tennessee National Guard arrived in Memphis on Wednesday in a federal push to fight crime and coordination with the Memphis Task Force. Memphis among the most dangerous cities in America, run by Democrats, of course. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on an X hours ago Since Monday, there have been more than 153 arrests, 60 last night alone, including 21 illegals, one wanted for raping a child under 13, five gang members, 48 guns seized, five missing children found. Think about that. Five kids that were missing were found. It's a highly successful federal operation and crackdown on crime in the city of Memphis. Look when you look at Washington, D.C. over the last few weeks, 10 homicides, 10 homicides since the 11th of August. That's when the National Guard rolled into the nation's capital. If you extrapolate that out that 67 homicides a year, at that rate, there haven't been less than 70 homicides in D.C. any time in my lifetime or yours. D.C. has been a crime riddled city for years, for decades. Donald Trump is cleaning the place up. 10 homicides. Think about that. It's October 10th. Since the middle of August, early August, remarkable success rate. We hope the same for Memphis. We do. We want those folks to live safely as well. Apple has removed the ICEB Lock app from its App Store, setting safety risks to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In a statement, Apple said the App Store must be a safe and trusted place to discover apps and the decision was based on information from law enforcement. Apple has removed similar apps in the past. ICE B Lock, its ICE B Lock is modeled after the GPS app. Waze used a crowdsource to Alert users of ICE agent sightings within a 5 mile radius. Alerts auto deleted after about 4 hours. Ice Blocks motto. See something, tap something. Ice Blocks. I guess it's called. Creator Joshua Aaron told Fox News he was disappointed, calling claims the app endangered ICE agents. Patently false. How can we. Patently false. He said capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move. Actually trying to get police officers killed is never the right move, pal. His wife, Caroline Feinstein, a former dog forensic accountant, claims she was fired in July because of her husband's activism. Or because he was trying to get people killed. The DOJ said her termination was due to a minority stake in Aaron's company. All you chart. Look, we'll figure it out. All right, how about this one? I learned about this a few days ago. Maine Republicans demanding a U.S. department of justice investigation after a Newburgh woman received an Amazon package filled with more than 250 authentic. That's the keyword, authentic. 2025 election ballots. 250 sent by Amazon. That must make you feel good. In Maine, she expected rice, paper plates and a toy lightsaber, but instead found the box packed with ballots. Election officials later confirmed they were genuine. By the way, with Maine's fellow ID referendum just 30 days away, Republican Party chair Jim Dierker called the incident a potential crime and crime scene. I would agree, urging the DOJ to take jurisdiction immediately. I would also agree with that. By the way, she also got her lightsaber, in case you were concerned. Journalist Nick Sorter arrested in Portland last night. If you missed the video, police ignored protesters and took Sorter into custody. Watch this. He's putting it on the ground and he's making it worse. Yeah, and he, he, he's the one that got arrested. Released this morning. President Trump announced Saturday he was sending all necessary troops to war ravaged Portland, authorizing full force if needed. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt announced this afternoon. Nearly 300 National Guard deployed this morning, calling Portland ground zero. Too long, she said the president is repeating the DC Magic from January. Get tough, deploy resources, watch chaos retreat. Troops are securing buildings, assisting in deportations and shutting down autonomous zones. They're following the Memphis blueprint where riots dropped 40% in 24 hours. 40%, 24 hours, she vowed. No more taxpayer dollars waste on sanctuary chaos, Levitt declared. Law and order starts now. Coming up after the break, I'll discuss the University of Maryland's student government and how they decided to approve a pro Palestinian cause while Jewish students were celebrating the holiday of Yom Kippur. Details coming up. Yom Kippur noted as the holiest day in Judaism, and our Jewish friends just finished observing the day yesterday. However, at the University of Maryland, a brazen proposal was approved by the school's student government in direct offense to Jewish students, as a Palestinian chapter proposed and passed a sanction that would cede the University of Maryland and its charitable organizations divest and separate from the nation of Israel. And the vote was passed while Jewish students were celebrating the holiday, leading to most of them not being able to attend and get a say in the matter at all. University of Maryland officials responded to criticism by noting that the vote was done due to academic deadlines and bylaws and ended by saying the students had the choice of voting by proxy. Joining me to discuss is the editor in chief for Campus Reform, Zachary Marshall. Zachary, More attacks, more anti Semitism. I don't know what else you would call it. Your thoughts?
G
Well, you don't need to call it anything else because it is anti Semitism. I mean, these deadlines are not sacred. The Senate did not vote on the shutdown yesterday because of Yom Kippur. So if it's good enough for the Senate, it should be good enough for a little student government in Maryland. This is something that Students for Justice in Palestine rammed through the student government. They first tried to do it during Rosh Hashanah, which is the Jewish New Year, and they ended up doing it on Yom Kippur, which is the holiest day in Judaism. And it's completely intentional and it's completely discriminatory. What would you say if you tried to do an anti Christian thing on Christmas or an anti Muslim thing on Ramadan, but apparently it's absolutely fine to do it to Jews? It's disgusting.
A
It is. But, you know, your attacks on Christmas, it continues as well. I mean, we've got Columbus Day coming up. Plenty of attacks on Columbus. Every holiday, Every holiday in America, whether it's Columbus Day, Christmas, Yom Kippur, it doesn't matter. It's getting attacked. Faith in America, especially for Christians and Jews, is really under the gun, isn't it?
G
No, it absolutely is. And this is something we've really been trying to report on at Campus Reform, both anti Christian bias and I think the reaction to that, which is the revivals we've been seeing at universities, particularly in the south, and also just the dehumanization of Jews and the reason why we had the protests in 2024 and all the violence after October 7th was because this kind of stuff happens under the radar. It's not always that interesting and it's not always breaks national news, but it's what has normalized anti Semitism in higher ed. And so it normalizes anti Christian bias as well in higher ed. And we have to pay attention to these undercurrents.
A
Yeah. You know, free speech is under attack in the eu. It's under attack here in America, too. The left would have you believe it's those on the right that's false. I believe in free speech. Whether I agree with you or not, I, I applaud your right to say it. But here we see place of faith under attack. Whether it's a Catholic school in Minnesota or a Mormon church in Michigan, faith is under attack. And then you had a mass stabbing at a synagogue in Manchester, London, that left two dead during Yom Kippur here a couple of days ago. It's my concern that people are becoming openly targeted on both sides of the pond. And I think it's ever more dangerous for those people of faith, especially when you call white Christian men basically Nazis and fascists and white supremacists. I mean, you keep labeling white Christian men, people are going to get killed more and more. Your thoughts?
G
I think you're right, and I think it's happened this way because before we saw the attack in Manchester or in the church, the churches this year, we also saw people of faith being dehumanized, being demonized by people on the left. And then those people on the left in positions of power in mainstream media and academia tried to gaslight us into thinking it wasn't happening. That is what's been going on in the uk. Before the Manchesters stabbing, there were a lot of documented anti Semitic incidents going on there that never broke through the media. And we have to confront the reality of bigotry and intolerance towards people of faith, whether you're Jewish or Christian, before we can start to get a handle on the violence against religious Americans.
A
So what do we do? I mean, obviously targeting the left wanted hate crimes codified in public laws. All right, so they got them codified, but yet somehow the hate crimes are almost never charged in these sorts of incidents. Never. When it's a Christian church that's attacked, it's a white individual that's attacked, the hate crimes are always set aside. We need to start. If you're going to enforce hate crimes, you have to enforce them on all sides, do you not?
G
I think so. And I think this is also a cultural issue as much as it is a legal issue. You know, if we look at the media coverage after these attacks take place, how many times do we see in mainstream outlets that the motive was unclear or we're not quite sure yet why they were attacking a church or a synagogue? It's always what we think it is. And it is that gaslighting that needs to change. Because when you have media become so powerful in our society, it does have an effect on what kind of laws prosecutors want to go, want to charge with people. We saw that with a protest on academia. A lot of local prosecutors drop charges against college students who were arrested for anti Semitic protests because the optics of it weren't necessarily right. So I think we have a cultural issue that we need to resolve as well as a legal issue when it comes to making sure that our laws are protecting people of faith as forcefully as possible.
A
Absolutely. Greatly appreciate you being here as always. We need to keep an eye on this because I've said it for. Well, ever since Charlie Kirk was murdered in public. We're to the point where people walking down the street are gonna be shot because they're wearing a red hat, no matter what that red hat may say, because people won't even look. It's a dangerous time. We need to stop labeling people and, and get our act together. Thank you for being here as always. All right, Zachary. All right, let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. It's almost to $4,000 an ounce. Don't you wish you'd bought? It's not speculation, it's reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here are the facts. Inflation's still too high, the US dollar still too weak, and the government debt far too high. And this is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door. Now. Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax shielder. To IRA and gold.

I see they got my high school picture. I like that. With age comes wisdom. But the importance of staying on top of your health becomes emphasized the more we age. The team up at Pure Health Research recognizes this and is adamant about offering customers a solution to most problems, including hair loss and, well, yeah, zits. Sorry, but that's the truth. Joining me to discuss this medical advisor for pure health research, Dr. Joe Clark. Doctor, nice to see you today.
H
Good to see you. Thanks for having me.
A
All right, let's talk about. Let's talk about some of the supplements offered at Pure Health Research and why you should take them.
H
Absolutely. So the first thing I love about Pure Health is their commitment to quality. They only use premium natural ingredients in all their nutritional formulas. Every ingredient used is proven, affected by clinical studies. You're taking something that actually works as advertised. Their formulas are non gmo. They don't use any artificial chemicals, fillers or preservatives. They also manufacture the supplements right here in America. You know, you're getting top quality. They offer 45 different premium supplements that are crafted to support a wide range of health needs and wellness goals. It's like having a natural pharmacy right at your fingertips.
A
So all the supplements you're talking about here, tell me about some of the ones that are the most popular. Sure.
H
So out of their 45 products, I'll briefly mention their three bestsellers. The first one is called liver health formula. It's sold over 2 million bottles. And as the name implies, this formula supports thriving liver health. It could reduce fat deposits in the liver, ignite metabolism to trim belly fat, and flush out harmful toxins to give you a nice boost in energy. The next one, which actually I use in my practice, is lymph system support. If you're struggling with swelling or fluid retention in your extremities, especially the legs, ankles, or feet, they're going to love this formula. It helps flush out that extra fluid to alleviate uncomfortable swelling or tightness in the legs. It could even restore the legs to be a little bit tighter and more shapely. It works by promoting a healthy lymphatic system, which helps flush out extra fluids, fat, and toxins. The third one, which really is a base formula, is blood sugar formula. And as you can probably guess, this formula helps support blood sugar regulation. It can also reduce appetite, deal with sugar cravings, make it easier to stay away from sweets. And it maintains healthy blood sugar, which has many advantages from dropping extra pounds. Shrinking belly fat. And of course, keeping your blood sugar in check can help you keep your vision, kidneys, heart and circulation healthy, too. But remember, they have 45 different products, so everyone can find something that fits them. And the best part, actually, is that for the next 48 hours, those folks that listen to this and watch the voice will receive 35% off any of their orders.
A
So of all the supplements you've talked about here today, which one, if there was one you said everybody should take, what is it?
H
Well, blood sugar is really the basis of how the body works, its ability to regulate fuel. So I would say blood sugar formula.
A
Yeah. Because you have to control blood sugar sugar. My friends don't eat it. Processed foods don't eat it. I mean, it's just bad, right, Doctor? I mean, it's the old saying for computers. Garbage in, garbage out, right?
H
Absolutely. You are what you eat. And sugar is a very dirty, burning fuel.
A
Yeah. And it fuels tumors and all sorts of bad things. It just skip the show. Doctor, thank you. Greatly appreciate it.
H
You're very welcome. Thanks for having me.

Well, what's up with that? They get all the cool pictures in uniform and stuff and me look like a schmo. It's all good. It's Friday. What makes America wonderful? We do it every day with the hope of putting a smile on your face. There's one on mine right now. Today's story comes to us from Saratoga Springs, Utah, where a little girl finally got out of the hospital after patiently waiting for a compatible heart. Sienna Barton was unfortunately born with half a heart as the other side did not develop properly during pregnancy. And while doctors were on top of administering surgeries throughout her early years, she went into heart failure at 2 years old and had to be admitted into the hospital and hooked up to a mechanical heart throughout. Tough stuff, right? Yeah. However, the tide shifted after 975 days. Yeah. Just shy of three years. You got it. As a compatible donor was found when the little one turned five. And after a successful transplant and recovery process, Siena finally able to go home where her neighbors were eagerly awaiting to make up for lost time. What a story. The donor and their family not only gave Sienna a second lease on life, but also showed a great sense of compassion, as now Siena has her, well, her whole life to go and do all sorts of big things. And gestures like these remind us of what makes America wonderful. What a great story, huh? On a Friday. Tell me that one didn't get you. All right, how about the America's Voice question of the day? How do you think the government shutdown will affect the markets? You know who's watching the markets right now? Bolling is. He'll be up in a minute. He'll tell us all about it. Mason Wood has this to say. No, not at all. But I bet the people that don't get paid will not be very happy with the Democrats. I'm sure that's true. John Hogan says the only reason it would have any impact is if the number of people removed from government permanently affects the job numbers. I suppose that's possible, Bohem. Well, many of the markets are up now with the Democrats shut down in place. So I believe that many of the markets will continue progressing upwards. Well, that's how they've done so far. Pretty amazing so far with the markets. In fact, I got to get ahead of bowling on this because I know, I know he's over there looking. I want to look like I didn't go to school today. Let's see, we broke 47,000 today. Now we're at about 46. Seven on the Dow, the NASDAQ, 22778, the S&P at 6700. Look, everything did well today. Where's bitcoin? It was on fire here earlier and, you know, it's all going well, 122, 752. So if you've got gold, if you've got crypto, if you've got stock, if you're retired, looking at your numbers, you're going, hey, I had a pretty good day, didn't I? Had a pretty good day. All right, we're going to ring Bolling's bell here a little bit early. Bolling, I know you're watching the markets and I want to get your take on it because, man, it is, it's rocking. And I know because you talk about it every day, pretty good stuff Again, Bitcoin at 122,000, almost 123,000 gold. Almost 4,000 announced. The market breaks 47,000 for the first time. It's good stuff.
I
Good stuff across the board, Steve. Yeah, I think I started here at RAV about 10 months ago, and we've been watching all these markets since you know, market closes at 4 o'. Clock. And I talked to the folks and at first, people like, why are you talking about the money? We don't, we don't like the big, you know, the big investor player. But the markets are very important to getting Trump reelected and getting, it was important to getting Trump reelected, also to getting the midterm, keeping the House in the Senate in the midterms. You have a, you have a really bad stock market. The Democrats will blame Trump, will blame conservatives, blame Republicans, and they'll take over the House. I don't think they're going to get the Senate, but so we really want strong markets going into it. I'll be honest with you, I didn't, I thought the tariffs were the worst idea I've ever heard. They don't seem to be having an effect yet. Again, things in the money world don't necessarily play by your time frames, it plays by theirs. But gold and bitcoin are things I've been saying we, by the way, we, we touch, almost touch 124,000 today, Bitcoin, which is the record high in 24,400 to the record we had 123,900 change. So Bitcoin almost touching a record, gold, making brand new records week after week. If you just stay with the things that are working, you're going to do well. And you're right, Steve, when you open this, your, your 401k or your IRA or your monthly statement, you're going to be thrilled and you got to be happy versus what it looked like during the, during the, the, certainly during the Obama years and the Biden years as well. Here's the best part of it. Oil, Oil with a market ripping like this should be a lot higher, but it's not because Trump is drill, baby, drill, right?
A
So oil, that's right.
I
Watching maybe three four year lows while the rest of the market's up. This is all great. That means inflation is tame. Oil prices higher, make inflation go higher. So this is all really good market. Everything is, everything you see on the board right now is phenomenal. Some record highs you point out. Stock market record high, NASDAQ record high.
A
S and P. Is this. Yeah, yeah. My question to you is this. How long did the Democrats hang on? Because look, this is not the little stunt here as my, my mother would call this nice stunt. It's not working well for them. Yeah.
I
They painted themselves in the corner. They, they, they, they found a hill and they're dying on the hill. And that hill is defending illegals. Defending giving illegal.
