  Speaker 5: where our unalienable rights are celebrated. And now, your radio refreshment,
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Ron Edwards.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Ooh!
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Welcome, welcome to the Ron Edwards American Experience. I'm Ron Edwards,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and thanks for tuning in from throughout America and around
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the world. Well, you just heard at the top of
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the hour news that the U.S. poverty rate fell to
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the lowest level on record in 2025, while median household
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: income has climbed to record highs, according to the U.S.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Census Bureau. The official poverty rate dropped 0.5 percentage points
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: to 10.2% a year ago, leaving 34.5 million people in poverty.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: That's according to data released by the Bureau. Now, the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: decline was the second consecutive annual drop and the lowest
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: rate since the agency began tracking the measure. While median
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: household income rose 2.6% to $ 87, 460, the highest on record,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: dating all the way back to 1967, the White House
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: hailed the figure, which covered the first year of President
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's second term. President Trump has proven once again
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: that his economic agenda is good for the country. delivering
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: historic working-class prosperity in his first year back in office. Now,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: imagine if the president were allowed to fully implement his tariffs. Now,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: history proves that tariffs are one of the top ways
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that America became rich and can be wealthy again at
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: an even higher rate than even during the Great Gilded Age,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: with record high tariffs. Real income and record low poverty rates,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: breaking the records he set during his first term. Amazing,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: amazing stuff. And yet the Federal Reserve wanted to raise
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: interest rates. Now, the excuse for the higher interest rates is,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of course, they say, well, we have to tamp down inflation. Well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: in my humble opinion, okay, they should have at least
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: left the rates where they were or lowered them 25%.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: basis points. The reason why, because just, you know, a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: quarter percent like that wouldn't be much, but it would
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: be enough to maybe make up for some of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: tariffs that have been blocked by these black-robed, gone-wild judges.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Just enough. Or the least, very least, they should have
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: left it where it was. But, things being the way
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: they are, I believe the economy will continue to chug along.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The only problem I have is that if these interest
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: rates are allowed to remain this high for too long,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it will bring to a halt building projects around the country,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: both industrial and other types, such as new office buildings, etc.,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and things like that, major projects that I see that
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: are slated to... began for cities like Cleveland, New York,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and others that are, you know, they're getting ready to
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: embark upon billions and billions of building projects, Cincinnati, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: each of those cities that I just named, over $ 3
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: billion of new construction within the next few years, slated. Now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that could be delayed because of these higher interest rates.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And they also, you know, they point to the war
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in Iran. Yeah, that's a pain in the neck. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: it's a bit of a situation when you go to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the pump and, yeah, the gas is higher. But I'd
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: rather have some prices that are a little higher, in
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: some cases a lot higher, but everything else is still
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: moving ahead in a positive light. jobs being produced, things
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: being built, general prosperity continue to grow because the poverty
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: rate is shrinking. See, those are the things that we
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: should be more concerned about building. And if you really
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: want to tamp down inflation, Federal Reserve, and you people
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: on the Federal Reserve know this, okay, you need to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: have a real heart-to-heart talk with Mike Johnson and the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: gang over there in Congress and say, hey, wait a minute, fellas.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And gals, how about slowing down your spending, the rate
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: of your spending? And if you really want this economy
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to really grow like crazy, all you have to do
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: is go back to the spending levels of 2019 before
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the Corona China virus, scandemic, and all that that happened.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Just back to the spending level of that time. With
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the continued prosperity and the allowing of taxes, the deficit
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: would take care of itself. It would greatly depreciate and
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: be gone within a few years. And now that is
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a very simple, very doable solution. Very doable.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Very doable.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Not difficult. It's not something that calls for Massive sacrifice
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: for the American people. What will be sacrificed, okay, is prosperity, jobs, growth, etc.,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: if these interest rates are allowed to remain high for
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: too long. Now, this is a gamble right here. Now,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: those higher interest rates should only be allowed to stay
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: at that level until, at the very longest, at the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: next appointed time, that the Federal Reserve has to either
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: lower or increase the rates at the next appointed time.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But I would lower them even before that date. Because
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: if you really want to tamp down inflation, you have
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: to tamp down rampant government spending because it's the government spending.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: And wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. The Federal
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Reserve has to stop printing money money, that is fiat money,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: into oblivion. They are also a cause of it. They
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: print so much money that because it's not worth anything
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: other than what we say or they say, the value
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: of the U.S. dollar continues to reduce. You know, you
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: look at the spending power of a dollar today as
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: opposed to how it was during the Kennedy administration. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it's because it's been overproduced. Now, of course, they don't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: talk about this on major networks or in the government because, A,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: they never want you to really know about real solutions
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: that are just easy peasy to do. And trust me
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: when I say this. There's a lot of people in
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Congress that are angry over the fact that the majority
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: of the elements of the economy are doing very well.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Because it is the literal goal of the Federal Reserve
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and many in Congress to make sure that things do
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: not go well only to harm the Trump administration so
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: that incurably ignorant masses of voters would go in another
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: direction so as to bring about more misery even greater
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: than what we went through during the You know, three
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Ali Obama terms. The first two original Ali Obama terms
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and then Ali Obama Biden.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It's a battle between those that want to continue the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: greatness of America and land of opportunity for we the
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: people and those who want to wipe that out and
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: make this a huge republic of misery. It's a shame
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: that it's gotten down to that. But that is the
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: reality of today. And so it's basically coming down to
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: which side will win. Those who want a greater America,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: a better America, a strong America, or those who want
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: what was present under the Uncle Joe Biden administration. And so,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: those of us who want better for not only ourselves,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: but for our generations to come, we have to do
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: a better job of acting like that's what we want.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Making sure that now that Johnson has sent the Congress
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: people home that we get their attention. That they're not
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: just here to convince.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Us, oh, vote for us, vote for us.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: But we have to remind.

• 14:09
  Speaker 4: rights are celebrated.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Making the strong case why Democrats should never, ever, ever,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: ever be allowed to take control of the federal government,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: particularly Congress and the Senate. Hello, I'm Ron Edwards. Welcome
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: back to the Ron Edwards American Experience. You know, the
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: power rate for children and Hispanics just hit record lows,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: while the median household incomes have hit record highs. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: know that everyone is bummed over higher gasoline prices, yes.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: We're paying between $ 5 and $ 4 to $ 5 per gallon.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Driving past a gas station sign is like looking at
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: a weather barometer for our national economy. Worse, it's also
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: a barometer for the likely outcome of the midterm elections,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: and that's a shame for a number of reasons, including
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: people should not tie the election based on how much
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: we pay for gas, because you have to look at
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the broader picture, my friends. Well, the first is that
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: as much as it sucks, and it does suck that
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: we're paying a higher price, but it's to ensure. You know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: they say that it's ensure that Iran doesn't get their
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: hands on a nuclear bomb. But I think that even
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: more importantly, because it's something they can do right away,
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: to ensure that Iran is no longer in a position
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: to finance terrorist around the world. I think that's very
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: important too. Secondly, the debate around gas prices should be
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: focused on the real problem that is bigger than the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: situation dealing with Iran. American refining capacity is a big problem.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: In fact, to the point it's criminal. Our pathetic, asinine
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: refining capacity capacity is where the bottleneck raising prices is
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: coming from. You know, America is, in fact, the United
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: States of America is exporting oil. The real problem, my friends,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: is that the Democrats and RINOs and environmentalist wackos, extremists,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: have so terrorized the oil industry that no one is
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: willing to open up many new refineries in America. I
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: think that one or two are being built right now
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: in Louisiana and Texas, that's about it. And everyone is
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: afraid to open up a new one and much needed
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: refinery capacity with Trump in charge because they know that
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: if Democrats someday recapture power, they'll just make them close
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: those refineries. They'll make them shut them down. This reality
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: forces us as a nation to count on refineries outside
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: of the United States. For example, California used to be
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: self-sufficient when it comes to refining oil for that state. Okay? Well,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: under Governor Newsom and his predecessor, I think they shut
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: down about 12 refineries in California alone. And so I
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: think they have seven. They're shutting down another one soon, six.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: So they cannot refine enough petrol refineries for their own state.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: So on purpose, and this was a purposeful setup, they
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: have to recruit oil that has to be sent elsewhere
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: to be refined and then shipped back. That adds to
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: the cost of gasoline prices in California, which will always
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: remain higher than the rest of ours when ours do
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: return to lower rates. And in fact, even those are
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Though ours is at a higher rate, California's is still
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: higher than all of ours. If America had a reasonable
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: refining capacity, Iran would have no leverage over us at all.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: But thanks to Democrats, or no thanks, that's the situation
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: we find ourselves in. Oh yes, they're butt-kissing rhino friends.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Now we come to the good. No great news whatsoever.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: About the economy, poverty rates, including for child poverty and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Hispanic poverty, have just hit the lowest numbers on record. Meanwhile,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: median household income after inflation has hit a record high.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: As I stated in the first break, $ 87, 460, up $ 2, 250
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: from 2024 after inflation. The poverty rate fell to 10.2%,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: which is another record. Good news! The official poverty rate
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: for children fell to a historic low of 13.4% in 2025,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: according to the U.S.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Census Bureau.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Man, between 2024 and 2025, the official poverty rate for
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Hispanic individuals decreased to an historic low of 13.9% thank
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: you capitalism what's more unless you are a crazy goofball
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: or an addict living on the streets no one in
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the United States of America is truly poor anymore let's
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: get real Look at the state of American poverty. Today,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: instead of a hunger problem, the poor have an obesity problem.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: The greatest percentage of fat people, you know, like weebles, okay?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Wobbling weebles, fat people. The greatest percentage of them are
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: among the so-called poor.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: The poor also have a place to live. Central heat.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: A $ 1, 400 phone.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: The Internet, in many cases free health care, plasma televisions,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a Blu-ray player, a video game console, a microwave oven.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't, but I wouldn't recommend using a microwave. And
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: most likely, some form of air conditioning. Long ago, American
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: capitalism had already defeated poverty. The modern-day poverty rate is
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: just a number smaller It's a useful number, but thanks
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: to American America, poverty ain't what it used to be.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And that's a lovely thing. The only thing that the
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: people have to worry about that live in so-called poverty,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: maybe clean up, be a little more neat in their
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: homes and outside of their homes.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Many of us, I would say 80% of all Americans
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: have had days where You know, things were kind of lean.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: But in some cases, you didn't always know it because
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: they carried themselves with dignity. Their homes were still clean.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: And they didn't allow themselves to reflect their hard times
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: that they were going through. And those are the kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: of people that get out of those hard times. Ask
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: me how I know. Been there, done that. And so,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: it is what it is. It depends on what people want.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: And see, these are the kinds of things that we
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: should be building on. We should be celebrating this. This
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: is the kind of stuff, these are the messages that
