[David Zier]

Welcome, everybody. You're watching Breaking Point. Unreal. America's Voice News. It's been a whirlwind since the Iran conflict started two weeks ago. I've been in all of the press briefings at the Pentagon, and, man, are they doing a number on Pete Hegseth. I think he's doing an incredible job at the Pentagon. The troops love him. There's a very focused mission. Also Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth with the executive orders Donald Trump has out there, some of them codified by Congress. He's getting weapons systems into the hands of the warfighters and this incredible hemispheric agreement for the counter cartel. With more than half of the 31 countries under the US Southern Command's jurisdiction, an area of responsibility, more than half these countries in Central South America and the Caribbean are asking to participate and sign this joint security agreement to fight the cartels. Ecuador's murder rate is five times what it was just five years ago. It's so historic. And instead, the media is wondering if Pete Hegseth gave a Nazi salute in his Shields of America speech and how many stakes he bought for the troops. It's really disgusting to me. And we need to stay focused on the mission. And I don't think he's gonna get distracted. But I got a great show. I got Laurie Buck out, who won the primary, 1st congressional district, Carolina candidate against Don Davis. They're going to flip that seat, most likely The Republicans making 11 of the 14 seats in North Carolina in the hands of the GOP, helping save the House, if that's possible at this point. And then I've got more stuff from when Trump visited Coosa Steel a few weeks ago in Georgia. That show got preempted. I want to share some of Trump's remarks. And I got an interview with Congressman Mike Collins and Greg Dolezal running for lieutenant governor. Don't miss out, so don't go anywhere. But first, I want to bring on my good friend Pastor David Lowery. How are you, sir?

[Pastor David Lowery]

Good, good. How you doing, Dave? Thank you for having me on the show.

[David Zier]

Yeah. Listen, you've been a powerhouse out there. And for our audience, if you're new to David Lowry, he trained Michael Nunn, welterweight and heavyweight champ. He played in the usfl. Turned preacher, right?

[Pastor David Lowery]

Well, yeah, I got called, man. Believe Me, it was a good call. But first, let me give our praises to go my Lord and savior Jesus Christ for making it possible to be here. David. And I just love the work that you're doing with Rav across the country, bringing the truth to our citizens in the United States, man. And I. I pray for protection around you and all the other people in the organization that they continue to bring us the truth to the American people.

[David Zier]

Well, that. That means a lot. And speaking of people turning their, you know, their lives around, going on a mission, there's a lot of people in the black community that were upset with Obama at the Jesse Jackson memorial also. And even Kwame Kilpatrick, right? From the former mayor of Detroit seeing the light. Right?

[Pastor David Lowery]

Yes, he has. You know, let me say this about Jesse Jackson to the American people and patriots across this country. Jesse made a. It made it possible for a lot of black politicians to get into office, but at the same time, he made it possible for those black politicians to learn how to steal money and never really represent the black community. So I've known him since I was nine years old. But Obama, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris explicitly started to talk about President Trump to downplay him. And Jesse Jackson Jr. Came out before the funeral and let them know that this was not a political event, that anybody from any party that knew Jesse Jackson should come. And the fact of the matter is, I hated how they tried to paint. They did it anyway. Yeah, I know. Because, you know, when Jesse Jackson ran for President in 1988, it was Donald Trump who gave Jesse Jackson huge donations, allow him to use his hotels across the country. So I felt bad for President Trump because Jesse Jackson took all of those things to help and never really stood up for President Trump. So, you know what, what Obama did, talking about the elections, and mind you, this is the first time Obama has been in front of a black crowd in a long time, because the black community has. Is finished with the Obamas. They knew all the dirt that they did eight years in office. They never did anything to improve the quality of life for black people. And we're sick and tired of him. When he came out and said that every young black man needs to have a gay mentor in his life like he had. Yeah, that was so weird that black men. It's over for him. So what he did at this funeral was totally out of context. It was disrespectful, and the black community is punishing him for that. And we need to really take a look at that type of leadership and I'm glad that black people are looking at it and not wanting to be part of the Democratic Party anymore.

[David Zier]

So, David, Pastor Lowery, we have a lot to get in in about six minutes. Tell us about your latest endeavor and in cooperation with Alice Johnson. And is it a continuation of the First Step back, Tell us what you got going on.

[Pastor David Lowery]

Well, we know that when President Trump created the First Step act that he made it to where a lot of the guys would get out of prison. But a lot of people and a lot of men and women was incarcerated under the 1994 crime bill, which it was created to target the black community. It incentivized police officers to bust black people and take the assets that they had that they said that they could try to contribute to dope sales. I mean, prisons went private. Everything with the crime bill was totally wrong. Congress had admitted it, Joe Biden admitted it. President Trump said it was unconstitutional. But what we're doing with our foundation and the Redemption Party, living or driving while black, we wrote a bill to rescind the 94 crime bill in its entirety. You know, I have a prison ministry across the country and a lot of men and women are locked up behind the crime bill. But a three strikes you out over sentencing. I mean, the list goes on their violation of the 14th Amendment, the 4th Amendment, all of those things were done illegally to black citizens and was created to target them. Now people have to remember that Joe Biden created the crime bill, Bill Clinton created NAFTA and put all the economics out. And the list of what the Democrats did to the black community is horrible. So we're asking the president, we're putting forth a rescindant to repeal the 94 crime bill. We're asking that those people and they can come out under President Trump first step program that they be released. Those who have C numbers, those who have cases that need to be examined. We plan to create a commission with the Congress and with the president to be able to look at these cases and examine them and free those black political prisoners that are still locked up that's been there for over sentencing due to this bill. And so we forward the summary to Kwazi Kilpatrick, who was the former Detroit mayor who President Trump pardoned. And he's been moving things to Ms. Johnson. And we're asking Ms. Johnson to take this summary to the president and let him take a look at it and see how we can get some of these non violent criminal offenders and first time offenders, people who just got names mentioned and under the RICO act they were put in jail with this crime bill. And there's so many men and women that's been affected, Latinos, everybody. So we're asking the president to take a look at this summary and this bill and make a decision that it needs to be right. The 94 crime bill was wrong, totally wrong. This bill will make things right. It will compensate those in restitution for those who've been locked up. And now, this is not a get out of jail free card for criminals. If you was a criminal, you staying in jail. This is for only the people who can prove with documentation that was affected by the crime bill that we would look for clemency and to get them out of prison and get them back to their families.

[David Zier]

Right. I was going to ask you about that. You know, somebody looking in from the outside saying, oh, you just want people out of jail. But like the first step back, a lot of, like, even wives of drug dealers were getting 20, 30, 40 years, I believe, sentences. And so. Okay, tell us, how can our viewers get involved with you and have, do you have traction yet in the Trump administration for this?

[Pastor David Lowery]

Well, we just provided the bill to Kwame Kilpatrick. He has requested the summary. And we're going to do it through Ms. Johnson. I'm asking Ms. Johnson. She can reach out for me at my office, 708-663-5262. And those who want to get involved, you can also go to our website, let the truthbetoldradio.com and leave information. But we're asking pastors who have prisons ministries across the country that they should get in support this bill because it's high time that these men who was and women that have been locked up all of these years, it's time that we examine them and take a look at these cases because this bill was totally unconstitutional. They knew it when they created it. And just like I said, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and even the black preachers who went in are now saying that they regret even voting for it because it was the mainstay that helped destroy the black community. And so I'm asking people to come and join us again. My number is 708-663-5262 or you can find me at our website. Let the truthbetoldradio.com leave us a message. Let's get involved and make the wrong right that happened so that the black community can get back on its feet and get these people back home to their families and let them become productive citizens of our society again.

[David Zier]

Yeah, Pastor, I'll never forget, you know Biden's comments, you know about when if you integrated the schools it'll be a racial jungle, you know and all the stuff, all the racist stuff he said over the years, pretty incredible. It was the Democrats who passed this bill and Trump on did some of it. But more work to do again. Tell our viewers your website.

[Pastor David Lowery]

Our website is Let the truth be told radio.com you can also find me on Apple, Roku, Facebook, YouTube. We're all over. Just put my name in and get involved because we need to get this the right way. We need to get people that's in there away and God bless America. Dave, thank you so much. You guys keep up the good work. Real America Voices is the new voice of America. Blessings to you. God rest you. I love you brother.

[David Zier]

Welcome back. You're watching Breaking Point on Real America's Voice news. Tell your friends, tell your family, download the Real America's Voice news app. Uh, don't Forget we got CPAC 2026 coming up in Texas. So much going on across the country, it's been a whirlwind. I've been in about 15 states in the last eight weeks for real America's Voice and I'm so privileged to be part of it and bringing the viewers a front row to history. So I will always tell you the truth as I see it and you know, bring you the facts on the ground. Especially covering the Pentagon. I've covered so many of the briefings, so covered all the briefings since Hegseth started doing them again after he didn't do one since June and I was at the first one after the Iran conflict started and three subsequent to that. And they are in an all out assault on him and I think they are focused on the mission and he cares about the lives of the war fighters and those dedicated crews, you know, launching all those sorties off the decks of the Lincoln and the Ford and everybody else in the support roles. And I think he's part of the popular with the troops. So don't believe all the nonsense you hear. It's all interference. I have an interview right now that I did with Laurie Buck out just prior to her primary. I couldn't air it because we got preempted by the Iran actions. But it's important because Laurie Buckowt is running in the 1st congressional district against Don Davis. She won the primary and subsequent to my interview with her she got the Trump endorsement. Very important race, key race. 11 of the 14 seats in North Carolina could go red. Check this out. Lori Buck out is with us. She's running in the first CD for the second time. New maps, new election. Laurie, welcome to the show.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

David, thank you so much. It's great to see you again.

[David Zier]

Great to see you. I interviewed you two years ago on the ground. I crisscrossed North Carolina for the primary for the general election, the presidential primary. I was everywhere. I consider North Carolina my third home state. It's one is New York, God help us all. Virginia, I used to live there. My in laws are down there. But North Carolina, so much going on. You got jobs, you've got technology.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Tell us about it, we got beaches, jobs, technology, wonderful people, barbecue, puppies, corn sticks, you know. Yeah.

[David Zier]

All right, well, that's good stuff. You know, I was just down there. I was at Fort Bragg twice with Trump honoring the troops in the Venezuela raid, the incredible raid. Then it was down there for the new joint Innovation Outpost. Trump delivering a defense material and weapons system to our war fighters at speed and scale. Very exciting. A lot going on there. But you have a race. That map was redistricted. You're running again against Don Davis, the Democrat. And with the new maps, you only lost by less than 2% last time. And they threw a lot of money at you. You could do it this time, right?

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Yeah, they threw 20 million at me last time. I think it was one of the, you know, top three or four most expensive races in the country. So I think I strike a little fear into the hearts of the Democrats, which I love, that, of course, they had to bring in a third party to get after me who took about 10,000 votes and I lost by about 5. So bottom line is, yeah, I'm just itching for a rematch. I'm excited about this one. And we're going to flip this district. We have some new counties in the district, so it now leans Republican, whereas last time it was a toss up even a little bit Democrat. So this is. This is going to be a great match.

[David Zier]

North Carolina is unique. Every Democrat governor, Democratic attorney general, but you got a Republican legislature got 10 of the 14 seats are red now, this would be 11. And North Carolina has 39% of the vote, is only 30% Republican, about 30% Democrat, but 39% are unaffiliated voters. Can you capture those undecideds?

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

I think so. I feel good about that. A lot of the unaffiliated say actually voting Republican, but they'll stay unaffiliated so they can vote Democrat in some local elections with people that they know. You have a lot of blue dog Democrats around here who are, you know, really think conservatively, but have continued to vote Democrat even though they think conservatively. So interesting history of the electorate in North Carolina, but, yeah, I feel good about capturing that vote. They're ready to get rid of Don Davis. Having the extra Republicans added to the district is just sort of, you know, icing on the cake, if you will. So, yeah, we feel good about capturing, capturing the undecideds. We're ready.

[David Zier]

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and why is it important to you to run again?

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Well, you know, for starters, I feel uniquely qualified. I think the other candidates, some of them have a piece of my resume. But first, for starters, career army, combat vet, grew up on a farm, mom, wife owned and run a business. So I've signed the front and the back of a check. Like I said, I've led soldiers in combat, and then I served in the Trump administration. So I've been in the administration, career military, for almost 30 years. I'm a combat vet, I'm a businesswoman, and my husband and I have been married for 30 years plus, and we've raised a couple of Eagle Scouts, really good boys. So I think I have a very good, solid resume to do the right thing for this district. Ready to do it?

[David Zier]

I know you are a big surrogate for Donald Trump in the presidential election. I saw you in a lot of North Carolina for him. So I know that, you know, you were very active. Tell us about the economy in your district now. You know, I follow like, you know, like High Point, the rally, Research Triangle, Charlotte, booming. Right. A lot going on. Tell us about your district in the eastern, eastern Carolinas that cover the Outer Banks.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Well, you know, it really varies county by county. In some counties, tourism is the number one economic driver. In other places, it's commercial fishing. In a large part of the district is agriculture. Agriculture is our number one economic driver across the state, and it's big across the district. We need jobs. We have not had a jobs provider, a jobs builder down here in the eastern part of North Carolina for literally decades, over a century. It's been a Democrat district for almost 144 years. And you need someone, I think, who knows how to build jobs, who's run a business, who understands that to come down and be a jobs creator and, you know, help the economy out some more. Trump's been doing great work with it. President's been leaning in and doing wonderful things, taking prices down, et cetera. But now we need to bring jobs, and I think I'm the person to do that.

[David Zier]

I crisscrossed North Carolina. You know, I was so upset about the homelessness and crime pre Hurricane Helene in Asheville, they swept out the city like Newsom cleaned up San Francisco for the Chinese premier. They put them on the other side of Tunnel Road, on the other side of the tunnel. It was like the zombie apocalypse of homeless and drug abuse. And then, you know, in. In Charlotte, right. And Fayetteville, there was even crime. All the blue cities in North Carolina, they don't have that leadership. And there's a lot of crime.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Absolutely. You know, President Trump has done so Much, though, to clean up crime. I was actually, of course, in the administration serving in the Pentagon this last summer when President Trump brought in the National Guard to help out cleaning up D.C. it was amazing. I would take the Metro to work and the difference before and after was just night and day. He has done so much to clean up some of these crazy blue cities. D.C. was transformed and seeing these guardsmen in the area, nobody was pulling any nonsense. No drug dealing, no assaults, of course, you know, no sexual assaults, rape, murder, all that waiting.

[David Zier]

Yeah, well, I've been going to D.C. for about 50 years and, you know, I always complain over the years and I filmed, you know, the, the, the, the disgusting nature of Union Station. Not only the homeless tents outside, but the homeless inside taking up all the Amtrak seats and, you know, human waste and, you know, just awful. And I go there a lot and I was just there the other day and it was amazing, you know, like I was walking around. I didn't have that threat. I didn't have people hovering over me. Just a different story.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Right. I just, it was vivid. It was such a big, big, big change. The city is so much cleaner, so much safer, and you can walk carefree. I, I would walk from the Metro to the White House if I were visiting. And you walk about, you know, four blocks or so, and I wasn't worried a bit. Big change.

[David Zier]

I think the numbers are going to get better for the changes that Trump has made across America, especially with violent crime. We have a minute left. Tell our viewers where they can follow you and I'll give you the last word.

you're going to talk to yourself for

[David Zier]

an hour, you might as well publish it. Welcome back, everyone. You're watching Breaking Point. Unreal America's Voice News. I'm David Zier. I want everybody to stay vigilant. You know, we got Ramadan coming up. There's warnings, there's elevated security throughout the country. You've seen the shootings that have taken place this past week. Hopefully there won't be more violence in the United States. This Old Dominion University shooting, look what happened up in Michigan and in New York City on the ground. So everybody, you know, just be alert. And we're no stranger to terrorism here in New York City, that's for sure. But I participated for real America's Voice at the America's Counter Cartel Conference at Southern Command a week and a half ago. And it was so extraordinary that all these countries are lining up in Central and South America and the Caribbean to fight the cartels. And in Ecuador, five times the murder rate. Just five years ago, the youngest president ever elected there asking for US help. So I think it's historic. And they're worried about whether Pete Hegseth gave a Nazi salute in his speech at the Shields of America's conference. It's so ridiculous. It's just so ridiculous. The depths that they will go and the lows they will go to. Just unreal. But I wanted to air my interviews. There was a special election in the 14th district in Georgia. Colton Moore and Clinton. Clayton Fuller finished in the top two. Clayton Fuller got 35% of the vote. Colton Moore got 11.6. They'll run off in April 7th. But I was at Coosa Steele with Trump, interviewed Mike Collins and Greg Dolezal running for Lieutenant Governor on the ground. Rome, Georgia. Kousa Steel, Trump on his way. Congressman Mike COLLINS from the 10th District, candidate for U.S. senate. Correct? Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

And it feels like election season now, so that's good.

[David Zier]

Last time I saw you, we spoke in South Carolina at the headquarters during the 2024 victory for Trump in the primary. I think it. That's right, it was. You know, we actually, we were all over the country with President Trump. Yeah. So it. And on stage when he was here in Georgia. So it's good to have him back. Yeah. I know you've been real active and you were a surrogate for him on the campaign trail. Tell us. We're here on the 14th and it's a big field, crowded field for the US House race. Here to replace, you know, Marjorie. A special election two weeks away, Right? Yeah. And we couldn't. We need it tomorrow, actually. I mean, with the House, we're sitting on a one seat majority right now. So we need to make sure that we go ahead and fill this seat, we keep this seat Republican, which we should, and then we get back to helping the American people get to see Trump. And Iowa, he was out there for Marionette, Miller, Meeks and Zach Nunn. You know, you lose two toss up races like that, you can only afford to lose one or two more nationwide or it goes the other way.

[Pastor David Lowery]

Right?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Yeah, you're right.

[David Zier]

But I'm gonna tell you something. Midterm elections are all about turning turnout, period. Turnout, turnout, turnout. I think that our base is excited. I think you can tell that by the crowd here today. And I think they're getting be even more energized by the time November gets here. Because from what we're seeing out there in the pieces of the puzzle that we're putting back on the board at one time and with the president's leadership, this place can be humming like a sewing machine. You know, I'm from a blue state, from New York. Sorry. And you know, it's bureaucratic, it's progressive, it's leftist. The, you know, the legislature's out of control. But Georgia is a red state and your economy does pretty well down here, right? It does, it does. And you, you know, Georgia's just good, especially in the 14th and the 10th district where I represent. It's just good, solid, blue collar people.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Folks who get up every day, go

[David Zier]

to work, want to provide for their family and just be left alone. A lot of defense contractors here. I've been working with the Pentagon covering that rapid capability, getting private industry to get product in the hands of the war fighters quickly with no excuses and cutting out some bureaucracy. You see that in Georgia. Yeah, you do. And I think you're, you know, that's a great example. But you're seeing that all over the country. And what you're seeing is people moving their, their business back onshore and they have that ability to. Because we have, we have worked on taxation, we made sure that small businesses weren't taxed at a higher rate than C corporations. We're rolling back regulations, we're making the permitting process speed up. Everything that we need to do at one time. You can't just do one thing like change interest rates and people are going to come back. Last but not least, you're in a race for U.S. senate. You got a primary coming up in May. We do. And our current senator is probably the third senator for New York. So we look forward to getting rid of him in November. Yeah, for sure. Everybody, CONGRESSMAN Mike Collins, 10th congressional district, running for U.S. senator. Done it. Yes. And should be explosive in here when Trump comes. I'm excited. It's, it's always exciting when you go in and see an event, especially with President Trump, but it just feels like it gets you back. It's kind of like going to the first football game, you know, for football season. Yeah, no, it was really special. I brought my kids to MAGA rallies and, you know, they couldn't believe it. They didn't expect that. Yeah, it's, it's a neat event. It's. It's. It's a. It's an electrifying atmosphere, and so it's. It's good to be back in at it. All right, everybody, thank you so much. Appreciate that. Good to see you. Great to see you. Trump about to come on stage here at Cusa Steel up in Rome, Georgia, and with us, we have state senator from the great state of Georgia, Greg Dolezal. He is a state senator and also the chairman of the Transportation Committee. How you doing?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I'm doing great. Great to be here in Rome, Georgia,

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

with you, ready for the president to hit the stage.

[David Zier]

Super, super. And you're also running for lieutenant governor.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

That's right, I am.

[David Zier]

Yeah. Tell us about why you're running.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I believe we're in a fight to save America. Georgia is ground zero in the fight to save America. And if we want to save America,

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

we got to save Georgia. We save Georgia by saving the American dream.

[David Zier]

Now, you've been all over Real America's voice. You're calling for more investigations into Fulton County. Tell us about that. And how does it mesh with the FBI raids? And I was listening to these amazing hearings. The double standards. Unbelievable.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Yeah. We now know that we have non citizens registered to vote in Georgia, which we were previously told was impossible. We know, and you probably saw this, but I drove around a couple weeks ago to a number of illegal voting locations where dozens or hundreds of people are registered to vote in Fulton County. UPS stores pack mails, empty parking lots, abandoned buildings, homeless shelters that closed in 2017.

[David Zier]

In the 14th district here with the early voting starting in the special, you

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

know, up here, they tend to do a pretty good job. Yeah, they do a good job up here.

[David Zier]

Wow, that's amazing. I was listening to the hearings on the way here today, you know, and it was incredible that the Democrats had access to information that Republicans weren't allowed to have. And then they voted to ban both parties from getting it. But the Democrat person on the commission still got the information.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Yeah. The partisanship, especially in Fulton county, is crazy. As you know, you're supposed to have two Democrats and two Republicans on your local election board. Well, Fulton county refuses to seat the Republican. They've been sued. They've been held in contempt, attempt of court. They've been fined $10,000 a day. They still refuse to seat the Republican nominee to their board of elections. It's crazy.

[David Zier]

Now, you still. And you also called for more actions against Fanny Willis.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I'm the. Yes. I actually formed the Senate Special Committee on Investigations. We subpoenaed Willis, we put her under oath. You probably saw the four hour testimony that she gave where she admitted under oath she had no idea what we charged, where the money came from, from.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Or she also said she had no

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

clue about the January six work that Wade charged for the work with the White House, etc.

[David Zier]

You know, it's just astounding to me, you know, when everybody was crying foul in 2020, what happened with Rasberger and Kemp?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

I think that Brad, Brad Raffensberger, our Secretary of State, went all in on the lie that the 2020 election was the most secure election in America.

[David Zier]

How could he say with a straight

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

face, it's a great question? Because there's no metric. It's just a made up talking point. And we know there were double scan ballots. We know there are missing ballot images. We know that there were tens of thousands of people who were not living in Fulton county and their ballots were sent out of the county for them to vote. It was crazy.

[David Zier]

Do you think now there will finally be some justice for, say, people like Rudy Giuliani? I spent a lot of time talking to him about it and other people whose been indicted. It's incredible. And across the country.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Yeah, the weapon, weaponization of the Department of Justice. We believe in collusion. And working with Fanny Willis was a coordinated attempt. That was the election interference, an attempt to take down a candidate before he would. And Joe Biden put up the bat signal. He told them, we will try by any constitutional means necessary to show people that he will never take office. A couple couple days later, Jack Smith was appointed. Nathan Wade, Fanny Willis's appointed special district

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

attorney, was at the White House for

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

eight hours that day on a phone call.

[David Zier]

What a disaster that turned out.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

That didn't turn out well.

[David Zier]

All right, tell us about what you're going to do as lieutenant governor for the people of Georgia.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

We're going to take a sledgehammer to property taxes, we're going to reform the voting system, we're going to pass universal school choice, we're going to abolish the income tax and we're going to follow the lead of President Trump and ensure that hedge funds and private equity groups aren't gobbling up all of our single family housing houses in Georgia and turning them into rentals. We've got to restore the American dream.

[David Zier]

You have opponents in the primary?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Got a couple, yeah.

[David Zier]

All right, well, listen, your message is resolute. Trump's coming on. I was talking people on the ground outside. They think the economy is better now. You think the People of Georgia are having some confidence.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

2.4% inflation after record, high double digit inflation, low unemployment, a shrinking trade deficit. It's a great day to be an American.

[David Zier]

All right, everybody, Greg Dolezal, Georgia state senator, chairman of the Transportation Committee and candidate lieutenant governor for the great state of Georgia. Thank you for joining us.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Thanks for having me on.

[David Zier]

All right, super. Just remember everybody, the early voting starts for the midterms. Only about six months away. It's right around the corner. Hopefully the economy will pick up. Hopefully oil prices will come back down when the stability in the Straits of Hormuz. I know that fertilizer isn't getting out of Iraq. Sulfur that's used in the third world countries. It's planting season. They got to escort the ships through the straits of Hormuz. We'll be bringing the latest. But these midterms are very hot and right now the Democrats are in the lead in the polling. We'll see if they can pull it off. Everyone loves Maria Lynn from switch to USA.com have you been.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

Thank you, David. I'm well, thank you for having me today on the show.

[David Zier]

Yeah. Tell us about Switch to usa.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

We're an American manufacturer. We help families make the switch. And if you have any of these products in your cupboards, we think that it's time that you give us a call. We make everything in America. Everything's non toxic, it's green, it's safer, it's affordable and it's made in America

[David Zier]

right by American factory workers. Tell us about your U.S. prime beef.

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

So the same family that has started this wonderful 40 year old American manufacturing also has a beef ranch. Their beef is prime and high choice. It's all black label coming from their ranch directly to your door. There's seven or eight different types of subscription cuts that you can get and it's quite affordable and it's real beef.

[David Zier]

All right, everybody support American jobs and Maria Lynn, where can people get involved?

[Laurie Buckhout / Greg Dolezal / Other Guests]

So please come to see us at Switch, the number two usa.

[David Zier]

All right. We'll catch up with you soon. Thank you so much. Thank you, David. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more breaking point on Real America's Voice News. Welcome back. You're watching Real America's Voice News. Don't believe the hype. You know, there's always wasteful spending in the Pentagon. Hegseth always says that, listen, it's a big bureaucracy down there but they're getting weapons systems to the war fighters at speed and scale and cooperation with private industry and academia. I've been traveling with them for months. I see what they're doing. It's pretty amazing. Don't get distracted with Seth Meyers and all this stuff about lobsters and steaks. God forbid we treat our troops good, right? But they do need to get a handle on wasteful spending. But at the same time, there's a sea change between Trump's executive orders and Pete Hegseth. I think the troops love him and they are laser focused on getting this mission complete in Iran. I've got some excerpts from my coverage of the Trump speech at Kusa Steel. A few weeks ago. We got preempted with war coverage. But I think it's important to see he's bringing back a lot of jobs to the United States, especially in Georgia, creating 10, tens of thousands of construction jobs. And I hope you like this. And we'll see you next week after this segment. And thank you for joining us.

[Donald Trump]

Thank you. Thank you very much. It's great to see a vibrant place like this. As you know, about a year and a half ago, it wasn't so vibrant. I'm looking at all this brand new steel and equipment that just went up because of our tariffs, because of our president, but because of our tariffs. And I'm thrilled to be back in the great state of Georgia with the men and women of an incredible American company, the Kousa Steel Corporation. For more than 50 years, the hard work in America Americans at Coosa Steel have poured out their sweat and blood and tears to turn into look, you wanted to take raw material and you wanted to take beautiful metal and you wanted to turn it into the highest quality steel racks and plates in the business, all stamped with those really beautiful words. You don't see it too much, but now you do. Again, made in the usa. And this company prospered and grew from humble beginnings in a Georgia manufacturing. What happened is you became in a very short while, a Georgia manufacturing giant. But then you watch your core business start to fade. I just spoke to your great owner and he is, he's great, but he got hit by stupid politics basically making specialized steel tire racks dwindle from two bustling shifts to six days a week down to one shift in one hour. One hour a week. Then you went back up to two days. Then you went back to three days. Then you went back to one day. Then you went down to one hour because all the business was going to China and other countries from outside. And it wasn't only here, it was other, other plants also. I assume your friends likewise were having the same problem. Your jobs were being stolen as foreign nations dumped their subsidized products. Don't forget China and these other countries, they pay for it. It's all subsidized. You don't get too much subsidy. But they dropped the subsidized products on our market to try and put Americans out of business. And that's what they were doing. You're lucky you have a man that is so proud of this place. Kept it going, barely kept it going. It wasn't easy. You're a lucky guy. But now, thanks to the fact that we got elected on November 5th, and thanks to what I call the Trump tariffs, business at Coosa Steel is booming again. We just spoke it's booming. And in October, you received your first large order for tie Iraq since 2014. It was a big, massive order. In fact, this great man right here thought that they made a mistake. He said, it can't be possible. No, it's called tariffs. I said my favorite word in the whole dictionary is tariff. And I got in trouble with, look at all the fake news back there.

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

Look at them.

[Donald Trump]

You're back to producing at full speed, two shifts a day. And he's going to three shifts a day, six days a week, and you've got a backlog. Now that's seven months long. What a difference from a couple of hours a week to seven months long. And it's all because you finally have a president who put America first. That's what it is. But it's also, it's also because I imposed powerful 50% tariffs on foreign steel where they were coming in and dumping crap all over our country. I ended every one of the Biden era exemptions. And on August 18, I added new tariffs to cover 400 derivative products, including steel racks, which is what you make. So I say congratulations and. And what a great comeback.

[David Zier]

This is.

[Donald Trump]

A comeback that two years ago, right, you were almost, I don't want to say out of business, but you're almost out of business, I guess he said, you can say it. You were close. He was borderline. Started telling his wife, let's have tuna fish tonight, darling. Forget about the steak. But stories like these companies are right now playing out in cities all around the country, towns, villages all over the country. And to think I have to be in the United States Supreme Court for many, many months waiting for a decision on tariffs. Without tariffs, this country would be in such trouble right now. Without tariffs, this country would be like your company was two years ago. What a difference it made. And you know who brought the cases against us? People that are China oriented. People that have business in China that want to rip us off and keep ripping us off. And the tariffs have stopped us. And not only China, other countries too. People from other countries like Canada and others, they sue us. Canada has ripped us off for years.

Years.

It's estimated that these policies will help raise income in this state by $7,000 in the coming year, every year, boost household take home pay by over $10,000 and protect more than 200,000 Georgia jobs. It's amazing. No one knows the importance of tax cuts and fair trade more than businesses like this one. So now I'd like to add, ask the president of Coosa Steel, Andrew Seville, very nice name, to come up and say a few words. I'd like to say, because I'm telling you, I met this guy and I. He said something that his wife is going to be extremely upset. I said, how are you doing? He said, president, if I didn't have all these cameras running, I would grab you and start kissing you violently. And I said, why is that?

[Podcast Host/Announcer]

That?

[Donald Trump]

He said, because what you've done for us economically in this state, in this town, with the tariffs in particular. So I want to just introduce Andrew. Thank you very much.

Welcome to CUSA Steel. My name is Andrew Seville. As he said, I joined here in 2001 with my dad after I graduated from the University of Alabama. I've got to say roll. I've got to say roll Tide. I've got to. My dad bought this company in 1985. He began to diversify, add all American made equipment. Everything you see here, American made. We all, we have all American made steel. That's all we keep in all of those warehouses houses, all of it American made. So we saw the tire rack industry really dropping off around 2010. And it was, it was tough on our racks department. It was tough on these guys you see down front, these people that are used to this heat. I'm sorry if some of y' all aren't, but this is nothing to them. But the tire rack industry was going to China. There were no tariffs. They were bringing them in and they were decimating the tire rack business in America. Your first term, we saw some things come back just a little bit here and there. The second term, about July, the quotes, the orders, I couldn't keep up. They were coming non stop. In October of 2025, we landed our first huge tire rack deal that we had in 10 years. This is going to keep our racks department busy for two shifts. A day, six days a week, and we're pumping them out as fast as we can go. And they're all going to Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, right in America. Mr. President, what you've done for these guys down front, what you've done for our entire economy, what you've done for all of America, couldn't be done without your favorite word, terrorists. You did it. You're making America great again. You're making all these guys more in their wages. And we couldn't be more than happy to call you Mr. President.
