Senatorial Candidate Eric Wargotz: Republicans Will Take Back America

U.S. Senatorial Candidate Eric Wargotz Contends That Republicans Will Take Back America During Mid-Terms Neal Asbury opened the show by reminding listeners that they had an opportunity with their vote on November 2nd to make history by “restoring this country’s sanity and integrity”. He asked listeners to imagine how proud they will be when one day they tell their grandkids that they, like millions of others, used their vote to “help prevent a lifetime of servitude paying back trillions of dollars of federal debt. You’ll be able to say that you saw a wrong and righted it and used your vote to make a difference today and for future generations.” Years from now, according to Asbury, “kids will be studying American history and marvel how common citizens in 2010 took back this... Read More

US Chamber’s Bruce Josten: Concerned Obama’s Decision to Demonize Chamber will only Punish Small Business and Slow Job Creation

Neal Asbury opened the show by wondering why the Obama administration is willing to “throw small business under the bus” so that Democrats can save their skin by not voting to extend the Bush tax cuts. “Most legislators in this country agree that small business is the lifeblood of job creation. So I’m having a hard time understanding why Democrats are choosing to run for the hills rather than extend the Bush tax cuts which would give small business the money they need to grow and hire. They are trying to suggest that extending the tax cuts will help fat cats –which is nonsense. It will give small business the money they need to hire and invest in their business,” said Asbury This issue is critical for small business, according to Asbury. The permanent extension of the... Read More

Federal Commissioner Paul Anderson: When a Party Takes Back the House They Also Take Back the Senate

Joining the show as a returning guest was A. Paul Anderson, Senior Fellow at United States Congress, Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and a former Commissioner-Designated Chairman at the Federal Maritime Commission . Anderson echoed Neal Asbury’s concern that with a limited number of Obama advisors with practical business experience creating jobs has not been a priority. “If you spend more than $1 trillion that was supposed to create jobs, you have to take responsibility for it not working,” said Anderson. Returning to the topic of the lack of business acumen among Obama advisors, Anderson noted that among the last four Democratic presidents, the percentage of their staff with hands-on business experience ranged from 39 percent for Clinton down to 8 percent for Obama. Anderson... Read More

Native American Entrepreneur Chief James Billie: Epitomizes Value of Perseverance and Business Vision

Neal Asbury opened the show by questioning how former President Bill Clinton, with his history of indiscretions, can belittle the Tea Party movement. “It’s like Alice down the Rabbit Hole –everything is topsy turvy. Down is up and up is down. Except Alice is not in Wonderland, the American people are,” proposed Neal Asbury. Asbury noted that the perfect example of this is former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel quitting so he can run for the Mayor of Chicago. Asbury is bemused by the fact that despite his power in Washington, back in Chicago Emanuel is not even a front runner, and is in fact, way down on the list of mayoral candidates. “He’s learning that the Chicago way does not work in Washington or in the rest of America, and it might not even work anymore in Chicago,” said... Read More

Congressman Jason Chaffetz: Pledge for America will Restore Trust

Congressman Jason Chaffetz Vows that Republican Pledge for America will Restore Trust by American People in their Representatives. Neal Asbury opened the show by facetiously asking if his audience was celebrating the news from the National Bureau of Economic Research that the recession was over, and has been, for more than year. He wondered what the millions of unemployed think about the recession ending, especially after the news that the United States economy has lost more jobs than it has added since the recovery began over a year ago. In fact, the 2007-9 recession was not only the longest post-World War II recession, but also the deepest, in terms of job losses. Asbury noted that the news of the end of the recession was probably met with suspicion by the millions without health insurance,... Read More

US Chamber’s Bruce Josten: Tea Party Could Marginalize Republican Candidates in Mid-Terms

Bruce Josten, executive vice president for Government Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, made a return appearance on Neal Asbury’s “Truth for America.” Josten characterized this upcoming election as “the most unpredictable in modern history. We have an angry electorate that doesn’t feel good about this country. They are rightfully concerned about the past two years,” said Josten. Josten proposed that the public disapproves of the health plan and they recognize that the recovery plan has failed to create jobs. This disapproval is reflected in some data from recent Pew Polls that found that when asked if the government was trying to do too much, the results came back 48% to 48%. When asked if both parties should work more closely together to create solutions only 42%... Read More

Moe, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, a member of the Institution’s Koret Task Force on K–12 education, and the William Bennett Munro Professor of political science at Stanford University.

Moe confirmed that against the education systems of foreign competitors, America is lagging behind. He points to a US school system that “is not doing the job. Policy makers are aware of this, but just can not turn the system... Read More

Institute for Liberty’s Andrew Langer: Only Innovation Can Re-energize Space Program.

Institute for Liberty’s Andrew Langer Predicts that Only Innovation from Private Sector Can Re-energize America’s Space Program. Neal Asbury opened the show by proposing that the Obama administration is willing to promote an agenda that is unpopular with the American public and most legislators, including members of his own party. A case in point is the Card Check bill, which gives labor unions the power to create a union through a simple majority via an open vote that intimidates workers. Despite push back from most business sectors, it is alive and well and flying under the radar (card check has been recognized in 1,111 companies), thanks to the President appointing Craig Becker, a union lawyer with deep sympathies for the unions, to head the National Labor Relations Board. This appointment... Read More

Chicago Insider/Radio Host Jim Laski Predicts that Illinois Elections will be a Barometer of Obama’s Power.

Commenting on the announcement this week that Chicago Mayor Richard M Daley won’t seek reelection Laski said it was “wide open field” and that this is the first time since 1947 that an incumbent Chicago Mayor is not seeking re-election. He also noted that while Rahm Emanuel is considering running for the vacant Mayoral spot, he is not a “shoo in and has lots of competition.” He doesn’t think that Emanuel has a political base in Chicago to make a serious run for the office, and that the Obama connection may not be as valuable to Chicago voters that he thinks. “The Chicago Way works in Chicago but not in Washington, and Emanuel has built up an enemy list. There won’t be a lot of tears for Emanuel when he leaves Washington.” Laski suggested that Hispanics, African-Americans,... Read More

Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely Urges Americans to Seek out Truth about Global Warming.

Neal Asbury opened the show by questioning whether the speech made by President Obama this week in Cleveland was actually made by the President or was it a clone that had been replaced by aliens that abducted the real President Obama? With tongue firmly in cheek, Asbury suggested that his suspicions were aroused when he heard the cloned look-alike announce that small businesses needed tax relief since the private sector creates most of the jobs. “It was stunning. The original President Obama never said such things, especially since he never acknowledged that 70 percent of new jobs created in this country have historically been created by small businesses,” said Asbury. Then Asbury was startled again to hear the “Obama clone” proclaim that it was time to shrink the federal government.... Read More
