Episode Overview

This episode of “Real America’s Voice” focuses intensely on differences between Republicans and Democrats, especially regarding election integrity, immigration, and American security concerns. Host Steve Guru delivers pointed commentary on recent domestic and foreign affairs, features sharp interviews with conservative voices, and critiques what he claims are hypocrisies in Democratic messaging. The episode explores these themes: election security (ID, paper ballots, voter roll maintenance), law enforcement (ICE), Trump administration’s border/security policy, and the state of America’s institutions.

Key Discussion Points

---

1. Election Integrity: Voter ID & Paper Ballots

Segment Start: [01:12]

• Core Argument:
  Steve Guru opens with the assertion that Democrats oppose "commonsense measures" like voter ID, paper ballots, and single-day, in-person voting. He frames these as basics for election integrity, then claims that Democratic leadership opposes them solely because President Trump supports them, making it a partisan—rather than a security—issue.

• Notable Exchange: Virginia Politician & Mark Warner (D-VA) on Voter ID

  • Mark Warner ([03:06]): “80 some percent of Americans, 71% of Democrats say they favor this.”
  • Virginia Politician ([03:17]): “In Virginia, we have voter ID and photo ID. I got to show mine.”
  • Mark Warner ([03:27]): “That's actually not the case. ... You don't need to show a photo ID in Virginia.”

• Host Analysis:
  Guru criticizes Democrats for their “selective amnesia,” citing past statements (Kamala Harris, 2019) in favor of paper ballots and comparing this to their present opposition.

  • Quote ([03:58]): “Photo ID isn’t some Jim Crow relic. It’s how we verify identity for everything from buying a beer to boarding a plane… suddenly, for voting, it’s too far? Come on.”

• Democrat Position Critiqued:

  • Alyssa Slotkin ([04:39]): Defends blocking “SAVE Act,” claims it would disenfranchise married women by requiring birth certificates if their married name differs.
  • Guru’s Response ([05:08]): “That is such a blatant lie. No married women, you don’t need to bring your birth certificate to the polling place… Slotkin basically admitted the quiet part out loud… these integrity measures would make it difficult for Democrats to win in many states.”

• Past Statements on Voting Tech:
  Guru plays archive of Kamala Harris ([06:04]):

  • “Paper ballots. Because... Russia can’t hack a piece of paper.”

• Analysis:
  Guru points out the shift in Democratic rhetoric pre-2020 and post-2020, implying that calls for security evaporate when electoral outcomes are favorable to Democrats.

2. Concerns About Noncitizen Voting and Election Security

Segment Start: [08:06]

• Guru’s Argument:
  “Tens of thousands of non-citizens showing up on voter rolls in multiple states... Instead of demanding fixes, we get dismissal. Calling legitimate concerns ‘fiction’ doesn’t make the problem go away.”

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ([08:06]): “Trump spent most of his speech rehashing … the same big old tired lie about the 2020 election ... it’s just fiction.”

• Host’s Response ([09:15]):

  • “We need aggressive purging of ineligible names, cross-checks with immigration databases, and real penalties for violators. ... Our elections should be the gold standard of transparency, not a convoluted mess that breeds suspicion.”

• Foreign Influence & Intelligence Community

  • Guru plays Hillary Clinton clip ([10:36]): “The only other adversary of ours who’s anywhere near as good as the Russians is China. So why should Russia have all the fun?... China, if you’re listening, why don’t you get Trump’s tax returns?”

  • Claims of Intelligence Cover-up ([11:09]):

    • Declassified CIA emails allegedly show intelligence “watering down” briefings to withhold evidence of Chinese election interference, to hurt Trump.
    • Guru ([12:54]): “This isn’t simple oversight. This is internal sabotage, clear political bias, and the deliberate withholding of critical intelligence from a sitting U.S. president. That kind of coordinated action demands real accountability.”

  • Kash Patel ([12:18]):

    • “They not only personally attacked the presidency … but they tried to thwart our elections and rigged the entire system.”

  • Guru’s Conclusion ([12:54]):

    • “The American people have waited long enough. This fight isn’t about relitigating the past for revenge. It's about securing the future.”

---

3. International Affairs: U.S.-Iran-Lebanon Relations

Segment Start: [15:25]

• Context:
  Recent Trump-ordered airstrikes against Iran in response to attacks on U.S. assets and personnel.

• Interview: Lieutenant Colonel Allen West ([16:11–21:41])

  • Expresses condolences for an American soldier killed.
  • Assessment of Iran:
    • “When you’re dealing with a theocratic regime, I don’t believe that they’re going to capitulate. They will go down in complete and utter destruction because that's what they believe in.” ([16:54])
    • Builds on need for U.S. coalition-building, blocking Iranian financial networks, cutting off oil/gas revenue.
  • On the Houthis and Strait of Hormuz ([19:47]):
    • “They do [have capability]. They have ballistic missiles … could use that to threaten shipping … we have to be looking at that as a possibility.”
  • Lebanon / Hezbollah control ([21:01]):
    • “We want to help them get back to that [prosperous] standpoint. That’s why that conversation … was so important, to show [Lebanon] that he does have our support.”

---

4. Immigration Policy and Partisan Division

Segment Start: [21:44]

• Guru’s Summary:
  The Trump administration is fast-tracking deportations of those accused of fraud/sex crimes, while “Democrats flood the courts” to protect those in the country illegally.

• Jim Pfaff, Conservative Caucus ([22:52]):

  • On Voter ID’s popularity: “The average falls somewhere around 82% of the country supports voter ID. The only people that seem to avoid and reject voter ID are Democrats on Capitol Hill. It's pretty telling, isn’t it, Jim?”
  • Pfaff ([23:20]): “Only in Washington, D.C. could you have a group of people who are totally against an 80% issue with the American people.”

• Historical Context Around Election Laws ([24:53]):
  Pfaff discusses the rise of the religious right, the impact of the 2000 presidential election, and changes to voting (duration, process) since then.

  • Quote: “We had same day voting, until at least 2004. Even California did.”
  • Criticizes long ballot collection periods and mail-in processes.

• On SAVE America Act:
  Both discuss Democrats’ opposition and claims it would restore “gold standard” elections.

  • “You can’t name one example we did that.”

• Guru’s Commentary ([30:52]):

  • Critiques “media-made-up” stories fueling anti-ICE sentiment.

• Democrat Socialist Abdul El Sayed (MI Senate candidate) ([31:23]):

  • “ICE has to be abolished. You’re not getting another dime of our money. Not one more dime.”

• Jake Tapper, CNN, interviews El Sayed ([32:26]):

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

  “Photo ID isn’t some Jim Crow relic. It’s how we verify identity for everything from buying a beer to boarding a plane. And yet, when it comes to the most consequential act in our republic, suddenly it’s a bridge too far.”

• Alyssa Slotkin ([04:39]):
  “…the SAVE Act … would make it hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election and disenfranchise all married women…”

  “Paper ballots. Because ... Russia can’t hack a piece of paper.”

• Kash Patel ([12:18]):

[America's Voice Announcer]

America's Voice Live starts now.

[Steve Guru]

Welcome to America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Garrett. Is Tuesday the 21st of July in the year of our Lord 2026. Let's get into today's top stories. As always, thank you for joining me here in Real America's Voice. Nice to see you. On a Tuesday, President Trump met with Lebanon's president after ordering a tenth straight night of air attacks on the Iranian regime. This comes as the US Continues to press for greater action against Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. More on that coming up. Also, the Trump administration is fast tracking the deportation of fraudsters and sexual deviants from the country while those on the left continue to fight for those here breaking our laws. We'll have more on that. And then later, Tom Holman fact checked the left on their dangerous rhetoric of ice. Meanwhile, Democrat socialist candidates continue to push this false rhetoric. I'll show you what Homan himself had to say. All that and more coming up. But first, I want to start with the elections here in the United States. Because nothing's more important. Why do Democrats fight with every ounce of their being against the simplest, most straightforward election integrity measures that protect every legal vote in this country? It's a great question. Voter id, clean voter rolls, paper ballots in person, voting on election day. These aren't radical ideas. They're just the basics that ensure Our republic doesn't descend into chaos. Yet time and again, the very same Democrats who once preached these very safeguards now treat them like some kind of mortal threat to democracy. The second they might get in the way of their political machine, that is. This isn't about suppressing votes like today's Democrats claim. It's actually about securing them. And the American people are sick of it. Let's start with something that should be utterly uncontroversial. Showing an ID to vote. Showing an ID to vote. Democrat Senator Mark Warner knows that this is common sense, but he doesn't even know the laws of his own state. And it's embarrassing. Listen to this.

[Mark Warner]

On the issue of photo id, requiring photo ID to register, to vote, to vote. Is this something that Democrats should get behind?

[Virginia Politician]

We have very.

[Mark Warner]

80 some percent of Americans, 71% of Democrats say they favor this.

[Virginia Politician]

You know what? In Virginia, we have voter ID and photo id. I got to show my.

[Mark Warner]

That's actually not the case. I mean, I'm a Virginia voter. You don't need to show a photo ID in Virginia.

[Joe Getty]

You are.

[Mark Warner]

There are a wide range of things you can show for id, and if you don't show one of those, you can sign an affidavit saying sign an affidavit.

[Virginia Politician]

Those become ballots that, if you want to contest later, can be contested. But you are. Have. You do have a variety of. But we have voter ID of one form or another.

[Mark Warner]

Should that be a national standard?

[Steve Guru]

Yes, is the answer to the question. It should be a national standard, but Democrats are going to continue to oppose it as long as it's Trump's idea. Because everything Trump says must be wrong. Photo ID isn't some Jim Crow relic. It's how we verify identity for everything from buying a beer to boarding a plane. And yet, when it comes to the most consequential act in our republic, suddenly it's a bridge too far. Come on. This selective amnesia tells you everything. They know these measures work. They just don't want them working against their interests. Which is exactly what Senator Elissa Slotkin admitted out loud just a couple of days ago. Listen to what she says.

[Alyssa Slotkin]

The other thing that we blocked yesterday was the SAVE act, right? Which was liter. Literally allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election and disenfranchise all married women in the meantime. By the way, you have to show your birth certificate at the polls if you have a married name.

[Steve Guru]

That is such a blatant lie. No Married women. You don't need to bring your birth certificate to the polling place. Senator Slotkin basically admitted the quiet part out loud right there. These integrity measures would make it difficult for Democrats to win in many states. Think about that for a second. If basic security and transparency are barriers to victory for Democrats, what does that say about how they've been operating for years? It suggests their electoral success relies less on persuading voters and more on exploiting loopholes, lax enforcement, and systems ripe for abuse. That, my friends, is not democracy. That is a criminal racket. And the American people deserve better than politicians who fear fair fights. Now, let's talk about the technology we trust with our votes. For years, some on the left raised alarms about voting machines and their vulnerabilities, even as recently as 2019. From those you might not expect. Listen to this.

[Kamala Harris]

The best and most secure way to conduct elections. Paper ballots. Because the way that I say it, kind of half joking, Russia can't hack a piece of paper. And we have a bill that basically would require states to upgrade their elections infrastructure because guess what? Going like, Back to the future, best and smartest way to conduct voting. Paper ballots. Paper ballots. I joke and I say paper ballots because Russia can't hack a piece of paper. The most secure way to vote. Paper.

[Steve Guru]

Yeah. Back then, Kamala Harris was the tip of the spear out front, pushing for paper ballots and ditching unreliable voting machines. She cackled about it on national television with plenty of agreement from her allies around the room. And look, there's more. Here it is. And you said something I have been

[Kash Patel]

saying forever and ever, and I'm gonna

[Steve Guru]

say 45 seconds, you've been saying that it's time for us to go back to paper ballots.

[Jake Tapper]

Why?

[Kamala Harris]

Because Russia can't hack a piece of paper.

[Steve Guru]

Look at that. Even Whoopi Goldberg applauded. Remarkable, right? It sounded reasonable. Safeguards against glitches, hacks, or manipulation. But then Fast forward to 2020, and suddenly the tune changes completely. What happened? Why did the urgency evaporate once the results aligned with their preferences? This selective concern reeks of opportunism. Paper trails and verifiable processes shouldn't be partisan. They should be mandatory every single time to restore trust that clearly has been shattered. But after they installed Joe Biden In 2020, they realized they could flood the country with 20 million illegal aliens and get their votes, too. Which is why they're terrified now of things like voter ID and terrified that Trump is exposing just how vulnerable our elections are.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Listen to AOC in President Trump's primetime address. Now, for those of you all who wisely tuned it out, Trump spent most of his speech rehashing the same big old tired lie about the 2020 election. The man cannot stand the truth, so he has to manufacture a fiction where he is popular. A fairy tale. A fairy tale about America where the majority of us fear our neighbors. Where most of us think that this country is so much smaller than it actually is. But we have to remember that it is just that.

[Steve Guru]

Fiction.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]

Fairy tales. A myth, a story, a lie.

[Steve Guru]

So here we have tens of thousands of non citizens showing up on voter rolls in multiple states. A number that's only from what we've uncovered so far. More to come, I'm sure. And instead of demanding fixes, we get dismissal. Calling legitimate concerns Fiction or Ms. Doesn't make the problem disappear. It just proves they're more interested in protecting questionable registrations than protecting the integrity of American votes from people like you, the American citizens. Every illegal vote dilutes the voice of a legal American vote. That's not comparison. It's not compassion. It's disenfranchisement of the American people. We need aggressive purging of ineligible names, cross checks with immigration databases, and real penalties for those that are violators. Our elections should be the gold standard of transparency, not a convoluted mess that breeds suspicion. Remember all the talk about election interference? Democrats and the media spent years obsessing over it as long as it pointed the finger in the right direction. Yet when evidence emerges of actual efforts to tilt the scales, particularly involving China, well, the silence is deafening. Even when we have Hillary Clinton on tape saying something like this in 2019.

[Hillary Clinton]

The only other adversary of ours who's anywhere near as good as the Russians is China. So why should Russia have all the fun? And since Russia is clearly backing Republicans, why don't we ask China to back us?

[Joe Getty]

I hereby tonight ask China.

[Hillary Clinton]

That's right. And not only that, China, if you're listening, why don't you get Trump's tax returns? I'm sure our media would richly reward you.

[Steve Guru]

Seems to me they took the invitation. And if that doesn't raise the interest over at the DOJ or the FBI, I frankly don't know what would. And now we've got declassified documents that reveal CIA emails from November 2020 that show intelligence officials deliberately watering down the President's daily brief to hide any information on Chinese election influence operations. Officials even scribbled handwritten notes saying they wanted to strip out anything, anything that could possibly help Trump get reelected. A whistleblower sounded the alarm and they buried it. That's treason. This isn't simple oversight. This is internal sabotage, clear political bias and the deliberate withholding of critical intelligence from a sitting U.S. president. That kind of coordinated action demands real accountability at the highest levels. So the question today again, where are the arrests here? Was FBI Director Kash Patel promising a slew of them all the way back in April?

[Kash Patel]

And I am never going to let this go because they not only personally attacked the presidency of the United States and President Trump, but they tried to thwart our elections and rigged the entire system. And that is not something that is going to stop. That is not something I'm going to allow on my wife. But you just have to remember, they built this disease temple over 20 and 30 years. We've got all the evidence. I can announce on your show that we've got all the information we need. We're working with our prosecutors, the Department of Justice and their Attorney General, Todd Blanch. And we are going to be making arrest. And it's coming and I promise you it's coming soon.

[Steve Guru]

Patel has been unequivocal. The system was targeted and justice is coming. But again, here's the million dollar question that's on every American's mind. Why haven't any arrests happened so far? Where are they? Where is the FBI? Where is the doj? With evidence of manipulated intelligence briefings, suppressed warnings about foreign influence, and clear political bias in agencies that are supposed to serve the Constitution. Not one political party. The American people have waited long enough. This fight isn't about relitigating the past for revenge. It's about securing the future, our future. We want. No, we demand elections where the winner is decided by we the people, not loopholes, foreign actors or bureaucratic gamesmanship. Democrats can keep clutching their pearls and screaming threat to democracy every time we propose basic safeguards. But the American people aren't buying it anymore. They've seen the hypocrisy. They've lived through the doubt and they are demanding better. So to every elected official listening, do your job. Pass the reforms, enforce the laws, restore trust to the deep state holdouts in the agencies. Your days of operating in the shadows without consequence are numbered. The people are watching and we want some action. We want action and we want it now. And that's the monologue after the break. President Trump met with Lebanon's president earlier today. This comes after he ordered a 10th consecutive night of attacks against the Iranian regime. A full discussion coming up here on America's Voice Live.

[Steve Guru]

For a tenth straight night, President Trump ordered US Forces to strike Iranian military targets as his administration responds to Tehran's escalating aggression. Iran has now attacked US Assets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, while also targeting another tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The escalation follows the deaths of three American service members in Iran linked to attacks, and reports that nearly 100 troops have been injured. This month, another died in Iraq. Meanwhile, President Trump met with Lebanon's president in the Oval Office as the US Continues to press for greater action against Iran and Hezbollah, which is, of course, anchored. The former congressman and the executive director of the American Constitutional Rights Union, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. Colonel, nice to see you today.

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

It's a pleasure to be with you. And first, I want to say condolences to the family of the young female soldier that you showed. She is from Carrollton, Texas. I go to church in Carrollton, Texas, and many of the members of my church know her family. So we just want to offer our condolences with that loss of that soldier's life and the others as well.

[Steve Guru]

I appreciate that, Colonel, it's. It's been the worst week since the 1st of March. This is the first time we've lost anybody in combat since March 1st. But as you look at this today, it seems that we're pounding Iran 10 days in a row. I don't know if capitulation is any closer than it was 10 days ago. What is your take, your battle assessment?

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

Well, first and foremost, when you're dealing with a theocratic regime, I don't believe that they're going to capitulate. They will go down in complete and utter destruction because that's what they believe in. I think that the president sitting down and meeting with the president of Lebanon is very important because we need to build a coalition of the willing to, who will make sure that these proxy armies of Iran are decimated as well and defeated as well. And I think that's very important for the safety and security of the people there in Lebanon. But we also have to be paying attention to the Houthis there and what they could do at the Straits of Bab Al Mandab. But I think that again, this is the type of pressure we should have continuously had on them to collapse this regime, to cut off their flow of revenue. And again, I'm glad to see that we're starting to go after some of their pressure. Personal finances that are spread out all across the world.

[Steve Guru]

Yeah. So, I mean, to those in Iran, too many of them, Certainly not all 92 million, but to too many of them, this is a holy war, this is a jihad. This is a fight against the Great Satan. And it concerns me and a lot of other folks that they will sit there and fight until the last man is standing. And until that last man is knocked down, this thing won't be resolved. That's a concern at this point, is it not?

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

No, you're absolutely right. That is a concern. But I think the main thing that we should be looking at is how can we create the dissent with that portion of the population that does not want to be controlled. They want freedom. They don't want to live under this theocracy anymore with these mad mullahs, clerics and ayatollahs who are putting them on the path of being a death cult. And when you go back and you read it, you know, Ayatollah Khamenei, I mean, he was the one that started to frame this thing of the little Satan and the great Satan being Israel and the United States of America. So as long as you have these black robed clerics there in a position of power and leadership, as long as you have their Praetorian Guard, which is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, protecting them, they're going to try to stay and remain in power. So I think that the best thing that we can do is try to cede the dissent there and try to see if there are means by which we can get the regular army, those conscripts, to align themselves with the people and top of that regime from within. But the two strategic imperatives is to cut off their oil and gas revenues. The blockade, I think once again is important. Important and seizing control of the Straits of Hormuz, that's an international waterway, not Iran's waterway, where they can hold the rest of the world hostage.

[Steve Guru]

The President seemed to brush off any threats from the Houthis to block access in and out of the Red Sea. Which is the alternative route for many of these oil tankers to get oil out of the Middle East. Put that out there for consideration. Colonel, do the Houthis have the ability to shut down the sea lanes at the Red Sea, yes or no?

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

Well, I think they do. They also have a ballistic missile capability and capacity. We know that to be fact. And they could use that capability as well to threaten the shipping that goes through there. So, again, that's something we need to be very, you know, attentive to. And then also we need to make sure they don't have any mining, sea mining capability as well, which is what we see in the Straits of Hormuz. So I think that one of the things that the military teaches you is that you don't decide your operation based upon the most likely course of action of the adversary, the enemy. You make your operation based upon the most dangerous course of action of the enemy. And so I think we have to be looking at that as a possibility with the Houthis and Bar El Mandab Strait.

[Steve Guru]

Let me go back to the president of Lebanon in the Oval Office today. Obviously, Hezbollah has been problematic for the United States for a very long time. We saw the attack on the American barracks back in 1983, a terrible day for America. Does the leadership, the political leadership in Lebanon really have any ability to control Hezbollah, or is it too big and too dangerous for them to do much about? Last word to you.

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

You know, I came on active duty 30 October, 1983. That was a week after that. Beirut barracks bombing. 241 marines, sailors and a soldier lost their lives. I think it's very important that we sit there and tell the president of Lebanon, help you to eradicate this cancer from out of your country and restore Lebanon. And of course, remember, people used to call Beirut the Paris of the Mediterranean. We want to help them get back to that standpoint. I think that's why that conversation between President Trump and the president of Lebanon was so important, to show him that he does have our support as well.

[Steve Guru]

Colonel, I appreciate you being here. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciate you spending time with us this always.

[Lieutenant Colonel Allen West]

God bless. God be with you, Steve. Thank you.

[Steve Guru]

God bless you, my friend. All right, after the break. President Trump is fast tracking the deportation of illegal aliens accused of fraud and sex crimes, while Democrats flood the courts to protect them. So who's really putting American safety first? I'll discuss it all coming up on avl. Well, the Trump administration moving aggressively to remove illegal immigrants accused of fraud, sex crimes, and other crimes, saying public safety remains a top priority. At the same time, the administration is moving to make America safer. And Democrats are flooding the courts with lawsuits, fighting, protect the illegals and keep them in the country, all at the expense of the safety of actual American citizens. Like, well, you and I, it all goes back to voting. That's why they don't want voter id, so they can bring as many convicts into the country and secure more votes. Joining me to discuss the president of the Conservative Caucus, Jim Pfaff. Jim, nice to see you on a Tuesday.

[Comedic Commentator]

Good to see you, sir.

[Steve Guru]

It seems, I mean, you can look at the polling. Voter ID is supported by more than 90% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats, 80% of independents. In the. The average falls somewhere around 82% of the country supports voter ID. Among very basic understanding, it's just common sense. The only people that seem to avoid and reject voter ID are Democrats on Capitol Hill. It's pretty telling, isn't it, Jim?

[Comedic Commentator]

It is. And a handful of Republicans, like only in Washington, D.C. could you have a group of people who are totally against an 80% issue with the American people. I mean, there used to be time in this country if it was 80%, man, let's charge it through. We wanna do what the people ask. And everybody would do it in a nonpartisan way because they all wanted to be on the right side of it. And in fact, if you think about it, these sorts of issues, particularly on immigration in general, everybody was on the right side of in the 1990s because the American people didn't want to this sort of thing that we're dealing with, they had already gotten past it after the 1986 deal that Ronald Reagan had made, and they didn't want to go back. So this is a really easy one to do. And the Trump administration, I mean, Donald Trump's gonna go down generally with the pleasure of the American people, go down as a president who held their pleasure because he actually does take these issues seriously like they want.

[Steve Guru]

Yeah. Earlier here in the program, we heard Alyssa Slotkin, Democrat senator from Michigan, say if this. She was talking to a gathering of people and she says if the Save America act ever passes, Democrats won't win another election. Why would that be, Jim? If the Save America act, which includes voter ID and proof of citizenship, the Democrats somehow would never win another election. That seems remarkable for her to say it out loud because it's pretty telling.

[Comedic Commentator]

Well, and that's because it would take our elections back to the gold standard they were for 230 years. Of our history and obviously in our 250th year. I'm referring to the last 20 years. Listen what happened the history here that a lot of people forget about is that in the 1990s the rise of the religious right in support of Republicans with my former boss Dr. James Dobson, but Chuck Colson, D. James Kennedy, Jerry Falwell, a lot of these people had been encouraging Christians to recognize you got to get involved in the political sphere that was rising. 1994 was somewhat influenced by that. But by 2000, like the religious right was a strong charge at that point. And also Democrats were very upset about George W. Bush being elected president in 2000 on what they felt was just the Supreme Court saying what to do. But they had been in Palm beach county which was the notable county in 2000 in Florida. There was were games being taken place on a small scale there to try to keep Florida and get Al Gore elected. It didn't work. And since that time Mark Elias, Norm Eisen and frankly the whole Obama machine by the time he came on board have been successful both mostly through legal means but also through the compliance of some states to interject third world elections processes. I mean we had same day voting until at least until 2004. And that that even California did.

[Steve Guru]

Yeah, you know, even California did. So I mean California counting for 35 days like we saw at the primary here just recently, that was never the case before in California. It's not the case anywhere. The fact of the matter is Kamala Harris, I played that soundbite earlier as well demanding paper ballots in 2019. That's not exactly ancient history, Jim. They wanted paper ballots because Russia couldn't change paper ballots. Well, neither can China. And so let's just be honest about this. They don't want to change the situation because right now with mass mail in ballots and machines that could be manipulated according to the documents released by the president last Thursday. Yeah, there's a lot that smells here and it doesn't smell like fair elections to me. Jim, last word to you.

[Comedic Commentator]

Don't underestimate the fact that many of these Democrats were connected with Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro for years. They knew what was going on down there. I we can't prove that the at least I can't that the machines have been manipulated but we do know that they can be and that the intelligence community knew that there's a lot of the worst manipulation is just changing the voting laws in 2020 without the compliance of state legislatures against the Constitution. That was an unconstitutional move. In the handful of states that did it. And we've got these long periods of voting where you don't even have custody of ballots. I had a frustrating conservative that I know say, well, you know, if you think the machines are bad, I can tell you about ballots that go bad, implying Chicago, when those problems did occur, and they were never perfect elections, they occurred on a very small scale. They had a big effect, maybe in 1960 with Kennedy getting elected. But we have a real problem with a manipulation that is possible that might not be called legally fraud, as nothing's called legally fraud in California. That's our challenge. Save America act will change that so we can go back to where we were when we were, you know, having the greatest elections in the world.

[Steve Guru]

Yeah. Seems to Save America act might come a little bit late for this midterm election, but we'll see. It seems that Speaker Mike Johnson got part of that through the House today. So there's some hope on the horizon, Jim. We'll keep an eye on it. Thank you for being here.

[Virginia Politician]

Thanks, Steve.

[Steve Guru]

Right after the break, I'll show you what Tom Holman said about the ongoing false rhetoric from the left about ICE and what it resulted in. Stay tuned. You don't want to miss any of it. Coming up. Well, as you know, the left has continuously pushed false rhetoric and dangerous rhetoric on ICE over the last couple of years. As a result, we have seen people become violent toward these law enforcement officers. We saw yesterday, 29 Federal Plaza in New York, a man lit gasoline and incendiary devices on fire. He was quickly arrested wearing an anti ICE shirt and with a lot of other anti ICE paraphernalia with him, Tom Homan fact checks all the lies created by the left and amplified by the compliant media.

[Tom Homan]

But I can tell you right now, I go out quite a bit. It's more dangerous now than it ever has been because of the false stories, the rhetoric. Isaac has never arrested anybody in the hospital. Someone's got a case, give it to me. Because it's not happened. Isaac has never arrested anybody in elementary school. You got a case, contact me. Because it's never happened. Aisha has never arrested anybody in a church. The only people that violated the sanctuary of church was Don Lemon in that group. Yeah, but you hear all the time, people don't want to go to church. People don't want to go to schools. People don't go to hospital because they're afraid of ice. That is fear put in the immigrant community by the Democrats who wants to turn the public against ice Again you can't name one example we did that. Another discussion had with the Democrats on Hill. They kept saying, we want central location policy. I said, why? Are we doing something wrong? Give me one case. Any of you. I hear you all talking about it on the news. Give me the specifics. Not one. So I.

[Steve Guru]

Give me one case. Just one. There isn't one. Basically, he's saying the media is making it up because they're making it up. Tom Holman, good man to have in that job. And this is the kind of rhetoric Homan is talking about coming from Democrat socialist Abdul El Sayed. He's the guy running for the Democrat nomination to be the next U.S. senator from Michigan. You tell me

[Abdul El Sayed]

ICE has nothing to do with immigration. ICE has nothing to do with the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. ICE is about weaponizing the idea of immigration against the Constitution institution itself. ICE cannot be reformed. ICE cannot be retrained. ICE has to be abolished. You're not getting another dime of our money. Not one more dime.

[Steve Guru]

Like how he dressed up for the occasion, don't you? Sure. Seems a little small, but, hey, who am I to question his choice in black T shirts? You know, it's all part of the messaging, right? And here's Abdul Ay Sid going after Jake Tapper on cnn. On cnn, of all places. What did Tapper do? He had the nerve to ask real questions. Here it is.

[Jake Tapper]

Twenty weeks ago, when Iran's Supreme Leader was killed, you told your staff, according to audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, quote, there are a lot of people in Dearborn who are sad today. So, like, I just don't want to comment on Khamenei at all, unquote. I thought that quote was interesting because the Ayatollah has killed tens of thousands of innocent Iranians, not to mention the proxies that Iran has funded that have killed innocent civilians all over the Middle East. Why were you worried about offending people who support the Ayatollah, Jake, on a

[Michigan Senate Candidate]

day where we're mourning the loss of two more service members in a war we never should have fought? I think all of us ought to step back and ask whether or not everybody in Michigan, frankly, everybody in America shouldn't be sad about the fact that this president, backed by the prime minister of a foreign government, took us to a war we had no business fighting in. So, yeah, I didn't want to comment on it then because it's a ridiculous pretext. And now you're asking me about the Ayatollah who's dead, by the way. And you're not asking me about the service members who've died. You're not asking me about whether or not this war should have ever been fought. You're not asking me about whether or not the costs that are being borne by Michiganders in the tax dollars we pay or the gas prices that are insane right now are worth it. And so, look, let's have a conversation based in Michigan. I'm running for Senate in Michigan, and I think here in Michigan, all of us are probably sad about the fact that we went to war that we never should have fought. I'd rather our money be spent here.

[Jake Tapper]

I was specifically asking you about comments you didn't want to make because you didn't want to offend people in Dearborn, which is in Michigan.

[Steve Guru]

Which is in Michigan. Jake Tapper. I don't have much respect for him, but at least he got that one in. By the way, if you're 64 or older, this is something you need to hear. Medicare is complicated. We all know that. But it doesn't have to be stressful. CHAPTER is the only Medicare advisor that compares every plan nationwide.

America's Voice Live will continue after a brief commercial break where I'll discuss a great way for aging Americans to stay strong, active and full of life. Something that I am fully, fully in use of already. What is it? Stay tuned to find out.

[America's Voice Announcer]

[DVS 7.0 or Brad Rao]

Change your countenance Freedom from chants and bondage that had you a slave too long yeah, the trials did seem mountainous but in Christ I put my confidence With a little faith you can move continents Keep your mind on heaven and truth Prominent hey, yeah.

[Steve Guru]

So what if one simple choice could set you apart from the supplement shelves and truly help you stay strong, active and full of life for years to come? Well, the first step is easier than you think. It starts with a product called Longevity, which, by the way, we have used in this household for a long time and everybody loves it. My wife, my son who's going to football practice here in a couple of hours. He'll have longevity before he goes because it puts him into a good place. Join me discuss the Vice president of sales with JSA Nutrition associated with Longevity Wellness, Joe Reek, who, by the way, has been here before. You might recognize him, good friend of the show. Joe, nice to see you again.

[Joe Getty]

Hey, Steve, It's a pleasure to be on with you. Thank you so much for this invite.

[Steve Guru]

Now, you and I have talked about longevity for quite some time. This is a supplement, a nutritional shake that doesn't come from the laboratory, it comes from the garden. And that is something that makes it different than other products. Tell me more.

[Joe Getty]

Yeah, well, longevity, it's a whole body nutritional shake mix. And so we don't just target protein, but we target the whole body. We target your mind with DHA and Omega 3 oils. We target your musculoskeletal system with collagen. We target your immunity with bovine colostrum. We target your gut with probiotics, and we also target your muscles with protein. And so longevity is designed to give you back the energy and the nutrition that you need so you can go out and hang out with the grandkids. In fact, I read a study the other day that 1 in 5Americans over the age of 50 that are healthy have a hard time even standing up from a chair when they've been sitting for a long period of time. And longevity, this is here to change that. We're here to be able to help people get back to their regular activities, to have the energy to get down on the floor, to play with the grandkids, to have the energy to go out in the garden and work, but to start feeling better and doing it now.

[Steve Guru]

Man, you should have seen me skipping around the gym this morning after I had longevity before I took off for the gym. I mean, I'm not quite what I was when I was 20, but I'm not bad. Look, let's be honest about this. What is one of the most important things people can do to give themselves the very best chance of staying active? Like you talked about, capable and engaged. That's the thing. It's great if you live to 80 or 90 or 100, but not if you're sitting in a chair.

[Kash Patel]

Right.

[Steve Guru]

How do you stay engaged in life?

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. You got to stay active, keep your body moving, Go out on the walks with your neighbors in the afternoon, go to the park with the grandkids. Just get up and stay active. But take care of your nutrition. Everything starts with your nutrition. And I've been a big proponent about having the proper nutrition, whether it's for emergency situations. But now nutrition for your every single day life. And it begins with longevity, wellness. One shake a day. It's not a. It's not a quick, it's not a. It's not a fad. It's not a diet. It's just one simple habit daily that you can get your nutrition and your health in check with longevity.

[Steve Guru]

Amen. And like I said, I've got. My kid takes it, my wife takes it. I say 8 to 80, and anything in between. Now, you've talked to a lot of customers, and I've heard from them as well over the years. Tell me a couple of the stories. Tell me a story that has stayed with you that you remember from one of these customers that said they tried longevity, and the results were very positive. Tell me more.

[Joe Getty]

You know, putting me on the spot like that. I can think of a customer named Brenda Peterson from Florida. She suffered from neuropathy in her feet for about 13 years. Steve. She didn't even have the ability to get up out of her bed on a daily basis because the neuropathy and the pain in her feet was so incredible. She heard about longevity. She ordered some longevity. And I get a letter from Brenda Peterson saying, joe, when I started taking longevity, my feet hit the floor. And for the first time in 13 years, I could feel my feet. I now have the energy to go out, go work in my garden. In fact, I'm feeling so good, I actually have been mowing my neighbor's yard for them because they're a little bit older as well, so there's stories like that that we hear on a regular basis from people taking longevity and the changes that it's helped them feel. And I wish there was a scientific word for feeling happy, but that's the experience that people have when they take longevity. They just feel happy. Their body's working in the way that it needs to. They're getting the proper nutrition for their muscles. They're getting the DHA and the Omega 3 oils for their heads. So that brain fog in the afternoon is gone. They're having the energy so they don't have to take that afternoon power nap at 3pm but they have the stamina to get down on the floor and play with their grandkids. But it's just an amazing product, Steve, and it's helping so many people take

[Steve Guru]

back control of their life and have a life. And have a life. That's the remarkable thing. And she was a viewer here on Daybreak, so she saw you right here on Real America's Voice. And for people haven't heard about this product. Again, I use it. Ivy uses it. My kid who's going to football use it. How do people get their hands on it? And here's my question. Because we use it so often, we just have it on a regular subscription. Those are still available too, right?

[Joe Getty]

Absolutely. Even right now, you can use the promo code, code RAV for real America's voice, go to longevitywellness co. You can save 20% on a first order. If you wanna save even more, we have an amazing subscription plan available for you. So you're saving over 30, 35% on your monthly subscription, getting longevity. It'll be delivered right to your door every single month, worry free. It's available at longevitywellness Co. Again, this is a whole body nutritional drink. You can mix it with any type of fluid, whether it's water, milk, almond milk. You can put it inside of a smoothie, you can put it inside pudding, you can put it in applesauce. I love my longevity with milk. You can take it. It mixes up super, super easy. You take it once a day and you're going to start feeling like you never felt before. You're going to have control of your life again. You're going to start feeling the energy of the health. Your joints won't be hurting anymore. Your back's not going to be sore. And it's all comes from.

[Steve Guru]

And here's a new trick. Here's a new trick. Ivy, my wife started making it with her coffee in the morning. She blends these things together. She absolutely loves it. It just this product works. Joe, I appreciate you being here. I'm glad we can share with some folks out there that maybe haven't heard about it. Thank you for stopping in.

[Joe Getty]

My pleasure. Thank you so much.

You can see it on your screen. Or go to longevitywellness co rev. This is a product that we swear by in this house, so take my word for it. I'll vouch for longevity. Coming up after the break, we'll have a story that reminds us of how wonderful America is. Plus, your answers to the America's Voice question of the day. Why do you think Democrats fight President Trump on everything, including topics they were in agreement on years ago? It's coming up.

[Tom Homan]

All right.

[Steve Guru]

What makes America wonderful? We do it every day in the hopes of putting a smile on your face before you go on with the rest of your day. Many families look forward to celebrating their kids graduation. And for the Waniki family, that dream was hard to hold onto. You see, at the age of 14, Dylan Waneke was diagnosed with stage four cancer. Doctors told him he just had eight months to live, but he kept fighting and holding on. Fueled by hope. Dylan believes that his survival story is owed to a doctor who became like a second mom to him. Dr. Mary Austin first met Dylan when he began his treatment in 2022. Their bond grew with her always checking in on him. Dylan considered her his partner in crime and she was there every step of the way. When he doubted he'd make it to see his 18th birthday, she made him a promise if he kept going, she would come to his graduation. That promise gave him something real to hold on to. This made Dylan has done the impossible. He graduated and is now two years cancer free. Though Dr. Austin was 1500 miles away from his high school, his family never doubted that she'd keep her word. So they arranged her visit as a surprise. And sure enough, the day of the ceremony, she was there, as promised. The family believes that their friendship did more healing than the medicine could ever accomplish. What makes America wonderful are the people like Dr. Austin who when they make a promise, you can count on them to see you through the darkest times. What a great story. We'll have to hold the question of the day until tomorrow and let you just hold on to that smile on your face. There are special people out there. Even in times that are difficult here in America. Special people, special friends. People that step up in the toughest of times to do the right thing. That's who Americans are. It's who we are, my friends. Hold on to that today. Have a smile on your face. And remember, America is still the greatest nation on Earth. Don't forget to join me tomorrow morning, first thing at 6am I and I will be here with Daybreak with all the latest headlines from overnight analysis and insight. And some hot coffee and hot conversation, too. I'll see you in the morning.
