Congressman John Mica: TSA needs far less administration, and better oversight

Neal Asbury opened the show by reminding listeners that transportation and infrastructure investing are key job creators. Logistics and international shipping are at the foundation of US commerce. “If we can’t move US products around the world, we can’t grow US businesses and grow our economy,” said Asbury. Asbury took the opportunity to clarify points he made during a recent Fox and Friends appearance where his remarks were taken out of context by progressive media. Speaking about the extension of the Bush tax policy, Asbury explained that most people are out of touch with the impact of taxes on people labeled as “wealthy.” He notes that while his company, like thousands of other companies, bring in more than $1,000,000 in revenue the money doesn’t sit in a bank. It needs... Read More

Former Congressman Charlie Stenholm: Urges Debate if Obama Healthcare can be Salvaged

Joining Truth for America was former Democratic Texas Congressman Charles Stenholm, a past guest on Truth for America and the Democratic representative for Texas’ 17th district since 1978. “People voted for change, but change to what? asked Stenholm. “The Republicans didn’t win–the Democrats lost because of their policies. The Republicans control the House, the Democrats control the Senate, and the President controls the White House. There is going to have to be some compromise if either party expects to win in 2012.” Stenholm would like to see the budget committee act in the public interest and restrain spending. At the top of Stenholm’s list is reducing the long term cost of entitlements, and ending the flawed perception that reducing entitlements will jeopardize the... Read More

American Enterprise Institute’s John Fortier: Government Gridlock if Obama Can’t Move to the Middle

Kicking off his nationally syndicated “Neal Asbury’s Truth for America Show” on WZAB-AM, Neal Asbury opened the show by suggesting it was time for the administration to stop looking for reasons to explain their failure during the midterms, and to stop blaming it on poor communication. “It’s not about what they said, it’s what they did,” said Asbury. Asbury took the administration to task for their failure to successfully advance America’s policies during President Obama’s Asian visit. “China actually has assumed the senior role in the US/China relationship and took a neutral stand after North Korea attacked South Korea. Germany has broken ranks with the US. The G-20 rejected US economic policies, and South Korea rejected the Free Trade Agreement that was forged three... Read More

California Congressman Tom McClintock: Jerry Brown Will Be What President Obama is to the Country

California Congressman Tom McClintock Predicts Jerry Brown will be to California what President Obama is to the Rest of the Country – A Big Wake Up Call Neal Asbury opened the show by declaring that “Harry Reid is at it again—pushing for programs that are going against the will of the American people.” In particular, Asbury was aghast that Reid and fellow Democrats are trying to run out the clock by voting against extending the Bush tax cuts. “By not extending the tax cut, it will hurt every American with higher taxes. In particular, it will hurt the 70 percent of small businesses that are the nation’s most prolific job generators. Positioning this as a tax just against taxpayers making more than $250,000 a year is a joke. It will hurt everyone,” said Asbury. Meanwhile, Asbury... Read More

Texas Congressman Kevin Brady Vows that Republicans will Reinvigorate America’s Free Trade Policies.

A pro-family, pro-small business conservative, Kevin’s strong belief in free enterprise guides him as the Senior House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee, and as newly elected chairman of the House Subcommittee on Trade. Congressman Brady noted that the turning point for Republicans for the midterm election victories was the wildly unpopular Obama Care Bill. This galvanized voters and fired up the Republican base. “The newly elected Republican Class of 2010 is like the cavalry coming over the hill. The majority of them are low tax conservatives, and also have small business... Read More

Former White House Press Secretary John Carlson: A Disastrous Future for California

Former White House Press Secretary John Carlson sees a Disastrous Future for California as it Struggles with Unemployment, Immigration and the Environment Neal Asbury opened the show by declaring that he was saddened by President Obama’s performance during his Asian trip, where he failed to push the US agenda and have it supported by world leaders. “Our President was scolded by our global trading partners during the G-20 Summit. America is less and less a presence on the world stage. While other nations sent their A-team to negotiate, the US sent amateurs,” said Asbury. “Even China, which has a $270 billion trade surplus with the US, was able to stonewall any US initiative to control its manipulated currency.” Asbury characterized Obama’s negotiations as “inept,” and... Read More

Truth for America Panel Concurs that President Obama’s Arrogance Played Large Role in Historic Democratic Election Loss Neal Asbury opened the show by proposing that while President Obama seemed not to listen to the will of the American people, after the drubbing Democrats took in the House (the largest reversal in party change since the 1930s), “he better be listening now. He better be listening that the American people don’t want a socialist agenda, don’t want cap and trade, don’t want card check, and don’t want Obama Care. It’s time for him to start spending more time doing what is best for the American people. –and that means job creation,” said Asbury. Asbury contended that the message is loud and clear:” We don’t like the direction this country is taking and... Read More
