• 0:45
  Speaker 5: eight seven seven Valdes one, and I want to get
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: into a few different things tonight. We're going to get
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: to some of the calls that we've been trying to
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: get to, but we also were going to get into
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: I Guess Part two right day number two, the Clintons
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: didn't show up for their bypart and subpoena and now
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: they're going to be referred for criminal contempt to the
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: Department of Justice. Now the question is will something happen.
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Will we see President Bill Clinton treated lye Peter Navarro
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: or like Steve Bennon or others that have had this
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: same fate. And I can almost predict to you without
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: having a I was gonna say a silver ball, without
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: having a crystal ball, that nothing is going to happen.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Nothing's going to happen. I don't believe anything's gonna happen.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Am I am that skeptical. Now, my brother thinks that
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: there are going to be mass arrests and military tribunals
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: and all sorts of things going on under the cover
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: of night after we hear the emergency broadcast systems go
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: off and we can't even execute an actual warrant on
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: something that's actionable, like these people not showing up. So
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: let that sink in. They're untouchable. They are the deep State,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: and it's mutually assured destruction. Right. It's like, hey, they
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: got nukes, You got nukes. That's just how this thing works.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: You don't want to rock the boat. You do what
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: you can to slow down their flow, and you keep
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: it moving Honestly, Trump is people paint them to be
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: something he's not. He doesn't like the smoke. He doesn't
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: And this is not a negative, it's not a drawback.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing. Trump is always focused
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: on tomorrow. He's always focused on building the next building,
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: the next project, the next big thing, the next item
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: on his agenda. Right, just look at how he moves.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Any other government would have went in there and taken
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: out the entire regime and taken over Venezuela and made
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: a thirty year process out of it. Government contracts, Galore Northromp,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Garummin Raytheon, Halliburton, you name it. Trump goes in, takes
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: one guy and his wife so that he's not lonely,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: goes in, takes them, cuts a deal with the other ones.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: That's it. Now they're like, hey, are you going into
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Iranause reports that thousands are dead in Iran because of
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: the regime, because of their protests. Trump says the killing
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: has to end. That's it. That's all he says. He
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: doesn't say We're going to go in there and take
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: out the Ayatola or the Supreme Leader or any of those.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: He just says the killing has to end or else.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: It's still not regime change here else is some sort
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: of price that you'll pay. And earlier today he made
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: an announcement that in fact, Iran has agreed to stop
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: the killing, which I think is a good thing, right,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I think it's a really really good thing. Let's listen
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: to this one kind number four, go right ahead.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: We have been notified and pretty strongly.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: But we'll find out what that all means. But we've
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: been told that the killing in around is stopping, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: it's stopped, and it's stopping, and there's no plan for
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: executions or an execution or executions.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: So I've been told that a good authority. We'll find
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: out about it. I'm sure if happens, we'll all be
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: very upset, including you, will be very upset. But that's
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: just gotten to me some information that the killing has stopped,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: that the executions have stopped, and not going to have
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: an execution. A lot of people were talking about for
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: the last couple of days today was going to be
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: the day of execution.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: So there you go. That's Ed Trompito. Don all this
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: magnus to forty fifth and forty seventh president of these
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: United States, does he believe the Iranians, He's given them
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: the benefit of the doubt.
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: What's one of Trump's famous lines, We'll see what happens. Right,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: That's the New York version of Reagan's trust. But verify
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: that's all right? Now, as I sit here Wednesday night,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I have no doubt in my mind that the United
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: States is going to do something to Iran What that
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: something is, and I don't mean tariffs, something will happen.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Not to mention today, a bunch of cell phones went down.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: So to me again, I put on my tinfoil hat
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: real quick, hold on, let me get it there. It is.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: My tinfoil hat tells me that this wasn't an outage.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: It wasn't this. This was the Iranians trying to flex.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: They're very good with cyber and they said, hey, keep
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: my and around, we'll try to find out. Right, that's
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: the Iranians. So I'm almost again this is just me
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: reading the tea leaves, and I could be reading them
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: all wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if before the
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: end of this program or immediately after, we hear about
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: something happening. Now, if the Thursday edition of This is
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: America comes around and I'm wrong. Then great, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: great that we didn't get into some conflict. But I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: pretty convinced at this point that we're going to see
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: some action and it's I don't mean a bomb or anything.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I mean something similar to Maduro I think. But hey,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: I could be wrong. It's probably wishful thinking. Anyway. I'll
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: keep you up to speed on that as as we
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: progress through the program. But I want to continue because
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: there's a lot more on this. The hit parade here,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: the UH folks over in Iran, they say, hold up
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: a second, this is this is this is all a lie.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: We're not killing everybody at random and just shooting people
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: all over the place. No, no, no, this is it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: the Jews ran, It's Israel. They're always up to no good.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Listen to this.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: When terrorist elements led from outside, you know, entered these
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: uh you know protests and started to shoot to shoot
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: you know, police forces, police officers and security forces, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: they were terrorist cells. They came in. They used dish
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: style terrorists, you know operations. They got police officers, burned
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: them alive, they beheaded them, and they started shooting at
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: police officers and also to the people so as a result,
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: for three days we had in fact fighting against terrorists
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: and not you know, with the with the it was
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: completely a different story.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: All right. So again just to bring up to speed here,
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: this is the Iranian Foreign Minister abbass Aragichi or Aragchi.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: He was on the Fox News channel today in an
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: interview that he did and he says, no, no, no, no,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: this was the Israelis. There was a plot to drag
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Trump into this mess. This is not us. We're not
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: out here killing our own people. It's the Israeli's killing
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: our people and then killing our police. Now listen, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: don't for a second think that this is actually the case.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: But I also don't put anything past anybody. I understand
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: right how history works, and we've seen things like this
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: in the past. But if somebody here is lighting a
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Reichtag fire, I don't think it's the IDF. I think,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: in fact, it's the Iranians. Just my thought. Yeah, play
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: the tape.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: The reason I have to explain, and this is important
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: why they started to shoot at For one reason, they
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: wanted to increase the number of deaths. Why because President
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: Trump has said that if there are killings, he would
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: interveene and they wanted to track him into this conflict,
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: and that was exactly an Israeli plot. They wanted to
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: track the president of the United States in this conflict.
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: So they started to increase the number of deaths by
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: killing or diner people, by killing police officers, by starting
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: a kind of you know, fighting inside the different cities.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: Well, Minister Abbasa Raakhi, I hope I said that right.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know the outcome of this, but I'll tell
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: you this, even if what you're saying is true, it
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good, doesn't sound good
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: for you, doesn't sound good for you, your boss, or
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: your peeps, because quite frankly, the United States is in
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: a very advantageous position if if Iran is further disabled,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: further weakend. I don't think we need to be goaded
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: into war. I don't think we do. I think that
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: we are ready to go when it's necessary. I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: if you don't think President Trump and Pete Hegseth are
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: ready to rock and roll with our one million man
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: strong army, with the type of equipment that we have
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: that all sorts of reporting is going on about these
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: really interesting weapons that we have, where we don't have
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: to even put anybody on the ground. Basically, we got
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: these sound cannons, long range acoustic devices and whatnot. Doesn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: look good for Iran, so be guided accordingly, mister minister.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Now people on the ground, they're out there saying, look,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: there were bullets flying all over the place. You be
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: the judge, Yeah, little sound effects there. This is clear
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: as day to me that some nefarious stuff is going on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: People ask me, why do you support Israel? Why do
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: you think there's such an ally? This is exactly why.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: This is exactly why we've got this problem. The president
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: can decide to flex and say, look, I'm not gonna
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: sit here, just like the genocide in Africa, just like
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: and again, these are all unique situations. Right, I'm painting
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: with a boodbrush here, just like the situation in Venezuela.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna sit here and watch this happen. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: guess what. He just makes one call Hello bb Hello,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: letter rip, Homie letter rip, Right, and that's it. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: all like Kin Kong. I don't know about you, but
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: I love the idea that we've got people ready to
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: go in the Middle East, ready to rock and roll.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Where the United States doesn't have to get directly involved. Right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: we watched their back, they watch hours. I couldn't think
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: of anything better, especially with people like Katar playing the
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: fence right, praising Trump, smiling at Israel, helping out Iran,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: helping out Hamas. This is not an easy game. It's
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: not black and white gray most of the time. So
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: you got to have somebody that you know is your
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: road dog down there. That's my opinion. I'm a lot
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: more hawkish than President Trump, for sure. Or I'll replace
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: the word hawkish with reckless, irresponsible, impulsive, right, because I
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: think what he's doing is measured. I think what he's
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: doing is judicious. I think what he's doing is exercising wisdom,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: and in many ways I think it's fair. I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: I would be, quite frankly, less fair. I always tell people, listen,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: use all of this against me. If you ever hear
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: me say I'm running for president, I'm not playing right.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: I would you give me all those the keys to
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: the kingdom. I'm testing out all the toys because I
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: wouldn't wait to hear that there were twelve thousand people
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: killed in Iran, and I don't know that there were, right,
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: I listened carefully to what President Trump says. When he
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: says we're hearing lots of numbers, we hear all different numbers.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: You know, it's his way of saying, look, something's going on.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it is. It's kind of fishy,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: but it's not good. Right. He's very careful. Yesterday I
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: heard him say something I thought it was. People make
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: fun of him. They don't understand how smart he is
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: and how he's outsmarting people. You can call him a
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: con man or whatever you want, but he's slick. And
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: he said something he said and this will happen in
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: the next short period of time. I love it. Next
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: short period of time. How do you hold somebody to
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: the next short period of time? You gotta love that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: You gotta love that. When I say what is your
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: plan or whatever, I'm not going to tell you what
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: my plan is. Right, He's always very direct, and even
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: if he's being coy about certain things that he can't
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: give a direct answer on or he won't give a
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: direct answer on. This is not the mark of somebody
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: that's a rube. But this is not the mark of
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: somebody that isn't thinking things through or being impulsive and
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: for everybody that criticizes Trump, have you never watched an
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: entire season of The Apprentice? Have you not seen all
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: the strategy that's employed, even at the most minuscule, simplistic
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: level of a charity competition on television. It was there
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: that I saw, Wow, Trump is a lot more than
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: just a billionaire playboy. That's on TV. That's where you
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: really see this art of the deal stuff, this cunning
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: that he has. This Barbara Corkran, the New York real
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: estate tycoon from Shark Tank, she once said, let's see
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: if we can get that clip. It's a great clip,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: and I don't know if we could find it, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: if we can. Barbara Corkran once said about President Trump
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: that he has this unique, uncanny, unusual ability to immediately
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: read a room and speak to the insecurities of the
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: people in that room. Now, some people immediately write that
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: office he's a grifter, he's a con artist. Not everybody,
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: not every grifter has disability. He's not gaining their confidence
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: to take advantage of them. He's looking for blood in
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: the water to see where he can make a deal,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: where he can win, where he can have the competitive
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: advantage that to me is in weakness. That to me
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: is strength. Okay, I'm told we have this audio of
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: Barbara Corkran at the Business Insider Ignite conference and she's
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: speaking with a reporter in a panel discussion. It's a
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: one on one interview. Go ahead, letter, rip it for
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: a moment.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: You knew Donald Trump way back in his New York
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: real What a charmer. And you know, despite you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: whatever you say about him, even you say he's a
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: great salesman, what is his sales technique? Why is he
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: so great?
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: He is a phenomenal salesman. He's not a great salesman.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: He's probably the best salesman I've ever been in the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: company of. And I spent a lot of time with
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Donald because he's five years older than me, I think
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: four years and he was raising his company right at
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: parallel with me raising mine, and so I did a
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: lot of work with Donald, and I can tell you
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: he is the best salesman I've ever met in my life.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I watched him walk into a situation, for example, selling
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: the Plaza Hotel to the Chinese at of Hong Kong.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: It was in Taiwan. A group of Asians wealthiest families
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: in Hong Kong. And they were there because they were
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: interests in the Plaza Hotel. And I was a broker
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: or my brokers. We were all at the table and
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: we're like really hungry to make this deal. And I
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: watched him totally not pitched the Plaza Hotel, bury it
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: and talk about the land masses on the Hudson River
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: and the buildings that would be there. They were not
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the least bit interested. They just wanted to buy the
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Plaza Hotel like a customer, I want to buy it.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: And Donald was near bankruptcy, really needed the money to
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: bail out. And I watched him. I thought he was
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: so off. He wasn't. They bought the land and built
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: all those towers on the West River as we know
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it today. You know all those Trump towers along the river.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: That was the deal. How did he do that? I'll
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: tell you what his masterful mind does. He is a
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: genius at picking out the vulnerability of someone's personality. He
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: can smell it, sense it, and trust it. Okay, So
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: for example, if you were to walk into a business
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: meeting with Donald and you're saying whatever you're saying, I've
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: seen it time and time again. He could see what
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: your weakness is and not physically reach oldre and put
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: his finger on it, but he just could see what
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: you weak This doesn't play into it. Not the nicest
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: thing in the world, but it's a certain gift I've
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: never seen anyone else. And that's exactly what he did
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: in the election. I think he put his finger on
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: what the weakness was, the vulnerability of people, and he
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: knows how to touch it just so, and people go
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: along for the rye. He is a phenomenal salesman. I
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: have to say, really, he could sell anything, and he did.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Barbara Corkoran from Shark Tank wise words. Now, I could
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: care less about the president's ability to sell things. My
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: concern here is his ability to put his finger on
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: the vulnerability of our enemies. And I think he's hit
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: them every single time. Every single time, he's been able
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: to make a deal with them and say, look, you
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: don't really want to get bombed and spend for every building. Listen,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: I'm a builder. Let me do it. In my Trump voice,
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: I'm a builder. You could hire me, We'll build it
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: for you. But no, what he does is he presents
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: them with the with the real vision, the real opportunity.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: At the end of the day, timpot dictator is typically
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: like power, and oftentimes the power brings the money. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: I would say, in many cases, money's really what most
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: people are after because money can help you have a
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: lot of the power you want. Now, in some rare cases,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: they don't care. Right, in the case of Vladimir Putin,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: he's been impenetrable, right, he doesn't care about the money.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: He's got plenty. He's got plenty stashed, He's got plenty
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: of the government that he runs. Plus I believe it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: ideological for Putin. He really does as he's written about.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: He wants Ukraine to cease existing. He wants Europe to
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: be Russia, the motherland, Mother Russia. That's what he wants.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: My opinion, I believe that to be true. Why because
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: he told me so, and I read this document, or
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: at least a part of the document. It's a long document.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I think it's like five hundred pages. Bottom line, I'll
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: take a president like Trump any day of the week
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: because it's that skill that we need, and right now
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: that's what he's using against the Iranians. His ace in
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: the hole is the military prowess that's the leverage. So
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: he's definitely never going to use his ace in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: hole unless he absolutely has to brilliant move. Let's see
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: how it goes tonight, in the next couple of days.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: All right, it goes. I'm coming right back. There's more
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: from Jacob frey Fry, the I should call him Jacob Frenchfry,
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: the mayor of Minneapolis.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: He says, nobody got run over. This whole thing's a
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: fake pony fraud. And meanwhile, CBS News reporting that the
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: officer that got hit in fact has internal injuries like
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: internal bleeding. So keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: Barah in glace or primal noumerodos blara, Rich Valdez e
• 19:35
  Speaker 10: s nos America.
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: Awara.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: All right, I goes. Welcome back, Rich Valdes, keeping your
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: company tonight. Our phone numbers eight seven seven Valdes and
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: the number one. And I want to get into this
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: stuff that was going down in Minneapolis, right the maker,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Jacob frey Fry, had some stuff to say. But before
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: we do that, there's a report from CBS News, CBS
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: News reporting that the officer has internal injuries internal bleeding
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. And again this is being underreported. In my opinion,
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I don't think anybody knows. And those that are, you know,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: kind of adverse to this, they don't care. But the
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: reality is, the guy didn't just wake up bleeding, right,
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: He didn't wake up with internal bleeding. He got hit
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: by the car. And one report said from PBS News,
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: it said the officer who was not struck by the
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: car seemed to be knocked back, knocked back by what
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: the wind. I mean, these people are out of control.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: They just don't want to admit that using a car
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: is considered deadly for uce and that's beyond me. But anyway,
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: listen to what the Fox News channel had to say
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: about this. Report checked this out, and.
• 20:52
  Speaker 12: We have some new information. Department of Homeland Security sources
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: telling Fox News the ICE agent who was hit by
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: Renee Nicole Goods suffered internal bleeding in his Torso. That
• 21:03
  Speaker 12: is the same Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was
• 21:07
  Speaker 12: seriously wounded last June when he was dragged by a
• 21:11
  Speaker 12: car during a tempted arrest. Yeah, a car rammed him
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: and then dragged him. And by the way, there was
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: street camera footage of some of that. The CBS local
• 21:23
  Speaker 12: station WCCO covered that story last June extensively. Will keep
• 21:27
  Speaker 12: you posted on the situation as we get new information.
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: Well, and you look at that right, and again I'm
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: making a point of this trying to be obvious about it,
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: because I didn't hear that widely spoken about today. And
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: we're not the point where the detractors are always going
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: to say something bad. But if you're trying to get
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: to the truth and trying to say, hold on a second,
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: let's look at this subjectively kind of like the father, right,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: the father of this individual, or the excuse me, the
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: father in law, former father in law. She was married
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: to his son right before she left the son to
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: be with the woman. And this individual, the father was
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: on CNN last night and listen to what he had
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: to say. I should have led with this clip because
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: really it's the most explosive one. Listen to this.
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: No nothing about charges or anything that just an investigation
• 22:21
  Speaker 13: into what happened in terms of the ice agent's actions.
• 22:24
  Speaker 13: But they were according to the prosecutors resigning today, pressuring
• 22:28
  Speaker 13: them to investigate Rene's actions and Becker, her wife's actions.
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: How do you feel about all that?
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, I'm not blaming anybody. I mean, it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: a hard situation all the way around. It's hard for
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: the you know, for everybody involved. I mean the US agent.
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: You know, at first I didn't see the footage where
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: you know, he was actually you know, he was actually
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: been ran. I mean I seem to bump of the
• 22:52
  Speaker 10: car hitting you know, hitting his legs, and so in
• 22:55
  Speaker 10: a you know, in a flash left that It's it's
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: hard to say how you would react from my understanding
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: that he had been through that before, maybe dragged or something,
• 23:03
  Speaker 10: and so, uh, you know, like I said, it's just
• 23:06
  Speaker 10: it's just a hard situation for everybody.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:09
  Speaker 10: You know Becca, you know it's it's she's a great
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: person as well. I mean, you know, I don't have
• 23:14
  Speaker 10: any many enemies. I love everybody, and and that's what
• 23:17
  Speaker 10: the Bible tells us to love our neighbors as we
• 23:19
  Speaker 10: love ourselves. But you know, I think there's some bad choices,
• 23:23
  Speaker 10: and the words is for the rapt of God would
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: come up on the chilling disobedience, and you know it's it's, uh,
• 23:29
  Speaker 10: I don't blame us, I don't blame Rebecca. I don't
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: blame Renee. I just you know, I just wish that
• 23:34
  Speaker 10: you know, if if we're walking the spirit of God,
• 23:36
  Speaker 10: I don't think she would have been there.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: That's that's the way I look at it, all right.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: He said, if we're if we're walking in the spirit
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: of God, I don't think she would have been there.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: That is a mic drop moment if I've ever heard
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: one total mike drop. He's not looking to judge, but
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: he's saying, I think some choices were made. Yeah, and
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I'm going to jump to the conclusion that the bad
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: choice that was made was by his former daughter in law, Renee.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: He said he don't want to blame her, but he says,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: if we were walking with the Lord, this wouldn't happen.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: And I agree with that. You didn't see a bunch
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: of ministers there. And I'm not trying to be holier
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: than anybody. I'm not. I'm just saying I don't think
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: he's talking about the cop that was there doing the
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: job he was supposed to do. Right, Jesus said, render
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: unto Caesar? What is Caesar's render unto the Lord? What
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: is the Lord's The ice agent was supposed to be there,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: the other person wasn't necessarily supposed to be there. They
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: were permitted to be there, and again not in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: capacity of using your car to interfere and obstruct this
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: federal investigation and whatnot. So I hate to sound brash,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: I really do, right, because that's a huge being and
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: her life was lost. But I also I pray to
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: God my kids are not that crazy, that ignorant to
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the fact that you can't play around in real life.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: That in real life you mess around with the police
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: like that and use your car as a ram, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: you're gonna end up like that. That's a fact. This
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: to me is one of the most telling things. But
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: Mayor Jacob Prayfrye, he says he stands by what he said.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: He doesn't care what cop got injured. He doesn't care
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: about anything as far as he's concerned. Nobody got hit,
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: nobody got run over. The whole thing's a lie. These
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: guys are murderers.
• 25:37
  Speaker 14: Listen to this in hindsight, mister Mayor, was that the
• 25:39
  Speaker 14: appropriate response. I stand by exactly what I said, And
• 25:44
  Speaker 14: to be clear, what I was responding to was an
• 25:48
  Speaker 14: immediate conclusion that had been drawn by the federal government
• 25:51
  Speaker 14: where they said one the ice agent was acting in
• 25:55
  Speaker 14: self defense and then shortly thereafter saying that the victim
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: was a stick terrorist. We need to be doing everything
• 26:03
  Speaker 14: possible right now to have a full and fair investigation.
• 26:06
  Speaker 14: And my deep concern is when the conclusion is drawn
• 26:11
  Speaker 14: by the government that's actually doing the investigation itself, it's
• 26:15
  Speaker 14: much harder to trust the investigation. We need to make
• 26:18
  Speaker 14: sure that the American people can earn and gain that trust.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: So now it's all about excuse me. So now it's
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: all about the government deciding and defending a position. Let
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: me tell you something. If you call nine one one
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and your local police show up at your house and
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: some sort of shooting happens, do you think the FBI
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: comes and does the investigation for your town police. They don't.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: The town police take a statement from their own cop.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: They do the investigation, and that's it. If there's an infraction,
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: there's an infraction. If you want to bring some sort
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: of other charge, you can try. But that's typically how
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: this works. This is why police have shootings and they're
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: typically cleared because that is why. One of the tools
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: on their tool belt is a firearm. And this guy
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: seems to forget that, and so did him as good.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: And I don't want to speak ill of the dead,
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: so I'm not speaking ill, but I am saying you
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: can't mess around with people. Your ignorance of the law
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: is never an excuse boom, period the end. That's just
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: a thing, and borders are Tom Holman was on the
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Fox News Channel this morning talking about what's going on
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: in New York City because apparently Mayor Mumdani very upset
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: that one of the City Council employees was taken into
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: ICE custody and they get into a little back and forth.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: Listen to Tom Homan on the Fox News Channel.
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I mean they set the stage, the Biden administration and
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: these sanctuary cities set to stage. We're responding to the threat.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: So you're in New York for a reason.
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: Is the new mayor working with you to allow you
• 28:04
  Speaker 14: into the jails now as of today?
• 28:06
  Speaker 11: No?
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: What is your measure of communication with him with him
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: now on the job.
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: None?
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: None. He's made it clear he's not work with Ice.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: And you know, when Mayor Adams was here, you can
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: hate or love Mayor Adams. So we had an agreement
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: that he would allow us back in the Riker's Island
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: to wrestle US public safety threats and safe security, safety
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: and security of the jail, but a city council shut
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: it down.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: So you know, what's what happens.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: I know he met with the President. We'll see down
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: the road if he's going to help arrest public safety threats.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: And we're not asking any NYPD to be immigration officers.
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: We're asking their cops to work with ART cops to
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: remove national security threats and public safety threats in New
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: York City.
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: It would help them too.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, you make New York City safer. Absolutely. So Tom
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Homan is trading barbs here with Mandani, Why well because
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: real simply Mundanni's outraged over the arrest of a city
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: council employee by the Department of Homeland Security, and now
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: they shared that the individual arrested as an illegal immigrant,
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: with the arrests for assault. According to DHS, the employee,
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorcis, fifty three years old, is a
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: criminal illegal alien from Venezuela. The agency said that despite
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Rubio Bhorcis being employed by the City council of America's
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: largest city, he has no work authorization and was illegally employed. Further,
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: the Department of Homeland Security said that Rubio Borcas is
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: a criminal with a criminal history, including an arrest for
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: assault in New York. Mister Rubio Bohorcis entered the United
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: States on a B two tourist visa in twenty seventeen,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: which required him to depart that same year, according to
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: the Department, and he didn't. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: said that this is a in fact, a criminal illegal
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: alien with no authorization who was employed by the City
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: Council of New York and it's shocking. She said, this
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: takes sanctuary city to a whole new level. This criminal
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: illegal alien has no at to be in the United
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: States and has a previous arrest for assault. Under President
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Trump and Secretary Nome and the United States is no
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: longer a safe haven for criminals. Mam Donnie and other
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: city leaders have demanded the man's release as of yesterday,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: and Mayor Mumdani saying I am outraged to hear a
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: New York City Council employee was detained in Nassau County
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: by federal immigration officials at a routine immigration appointment. Mam
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Donnie wrote in a statement on X now, why are
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: they going to routine immigration meetings and whatnot? Very simple.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: When they have information that something may not be on
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: the up and up, they either go to the jail
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: where this person is being held, which you heard. He's
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: not letting them into Rikers Island. None of these sanctuary
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: cities are allowing their law enforcement to participate with ICE.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: So ICE now has to go outside the box. It's
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: not like they're going to go home and not do
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: their job. They have to work that much harder to
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: find them in the streets, find them at work, go
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: after them wherever they may be. So if they know
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: they have an immigration appointment, just because you show up
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: to your immigration appointment doesn't mean that you're on the level. Now,
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: one might argue, well, he wasn't on the level, why
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: would he show up. It's a good question, but it
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean that one is outside of the realm of
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: being arrested. We've seen this stuff happen. Look a friend
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: of mine who I went to high school with, he
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: chose a life of crime, and he did his thing,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: went to jail, did four years in jail. The day
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: he was released, he had paid his entire debt to
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: society he walked out of the jail. In front of
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: the jail was the ice van and they said, all right,
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: now that you've paid your debt to the United States,
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: you still have violated immigration law and we are going
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: to deport you. This guy has been in this country
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: since he was two years old, doesn't know his home country.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: His parents brought him here when he was young. He
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: was a legal resident. But when you're a legal resident
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: and you commit certain crimes, they will send you right
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: back home as a condition of your residency. Only if
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: you're a citizen do you get to create a problem
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: like that and stay. And I say that laughingly because
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: even I didn't know that, But Marco Rubio recently made
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: the case, said yeah, in fact, that they would do it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: They would revoke citizenship if they had to. That The
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: United States reserves that right. And I understand why we're
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: going to let you into the country. It's under the condition,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: the precondition that you're not gonna be a rule breaker, right,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: And I guess there's some discretion there. But if they
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: want to say hardline rule, you can be here, but
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: you can't break laws. The minute you do, you got
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: to go. Then you got to go. And he's not
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: the only person this has ever happened to. That was
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: always the case until right until Biden and the Obamas
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: and these state governors got involved and said, hey, we're
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: no longer going to participate in the legal process in
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: the Administration of Justice. We believe that it's our right
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: to nullify federal law and disobey federal law and say
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: that we don't care what you're doing. We don't care
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: what you feel, we don't care about the law. We're
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: going to help these people evade custody. And there you
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: have it. That's the bottom line anyway. So we're going
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: to continue straight ahead. I got a little bit more
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: on the hit parade. Next up, we're going to talk
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: about hmm. You just have to stay tuned and find out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere. I'm ri Trialdez.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America, all right.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, he goes, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez kiping
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: your company tonight Wednesday night. And I want to go
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: to the phones. Let's see who's out there in telephone land.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Let's do a speed round. Give me what you got,
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: let's go. It's open phones across America, open phone in
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: America is one of my favorite segments. I get to
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: check in with you all the American people. We got
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: calls from Florida, Indiana, Chicago, and so many other areas.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I want to start off with the Chicago land area.
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Let's go to Rick calling us from Springfield. It looks
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: like go right ahead.
• 35:00
  Speaker 15: From Springfield, Illinois. Wanted to talk about sports that are
• 35:05
  Speaker 15: getting involved with politics and the platforms that are being
• 35:09
  Speaker 15: used to undermine the president.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Tell me more about that.
• 35:16
  Speaker 15: I believe that you know that there's a line that
• 35:21
  Speaker 15: can be drawn there the I think the guys like
• 35:27
  Speaker 15: Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers are undermining the president and
• 35:32
  Speaker 15: there's no place for that in sports, whereas athletes professing
• 35:37
  Speaker 15: their face is a completely different topic that doesn't undermine
• 35:41
  Speaker 15: the president and doesn't turn the nation against authority. So
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: that's my opinion. I'd like to hear yours.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Thank you, No, thank you, Rick. I appreciate it to
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: get to hear from your shout out to Chicago area.
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: And here's my thought on this. It's a very good question.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: My thinking here is this, I believe that everybody has
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: a First Amendment right right. You have a right to
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: be stupid, you have a right to be wrong. That's
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: my opinion of what not. You per se right, but
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: one one has that right. Now. Do I think that
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: these sports people should get involved in this type of thing.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: I don't, but they have every right to. I think
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: it's bad for their business for exactly what you're bringing up.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: Not only is it bad for the morale of the country,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: and not only is it bad for the governance of
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: our nation, but it's also it could be bad for
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: their business. Right. There are some people that might say,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm not getting involved in this anymore.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: I know, I, for one, am one of those people.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: Sometimes I'll go back because you know, sometimes things are inevitable.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: But I can tell you when that whole thing happened
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: with Colin Kaepernick and whatever. With Nike. I didn't buy
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: a Nike product for at least five years. And it's
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: not like I buy a ton now. I happen to
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: buy one pair of sneakers that I really liked, and
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: I said, you know, I'm going to get these. But
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I hadn't bought something in five years, and I do
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: like Nike products personally, but I said, no, I'm not
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: going to do it. I'm not going to support I
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: want them to feel the impact. I don't know if
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: they did or didn't. I didn't buy that many things
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: to begin with. But if there's a million like me
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: in our country of three hundred million strong, and again,
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Nike's all over the world, and there's people all over
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: the world that love Americans stand for these similar issues,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: I think you can make your point. I also I
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: remember going to Target once with my kids and I
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: saw that they had a pride section and I thought
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: that was wrong, right, And my kids said, oh, look Rainbow,
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: and I thought, this isn't a conversation I need to
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: be having. So my choice. I'm not coming to Target anymore.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: And they used to have the most amazing Black Friday deals,
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: but I stopped going to Target, and by and large,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: I still don't go to Target. And that was probably
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: ten years ago. Now does Target care, I don't know.
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: Did they close a bunch of stores recently, Yeah, they did.
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: Did have to do with me, I don't think so.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: I think it had to do it a lot of
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: other things similar along these lines, and they've figured out
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: we've got to be more mainstream. We can't continue to
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: cater to the leftist crowd because they're not the majority.
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: There's a whole lot of flyover country in America. There's
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of people that And I don't say
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: flyover country pejoratively. I say flyover country because that's how
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: it's seen by many pejoratively, but I don't mean it
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: that way. There's a lot of people that love America
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: and stand for what's good now in terms of an
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: athlete professing their faith again also their First Amendment right,
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: and I don't think that hurts. I don't think we
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: should condone these things in society where you know what
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: I talked about last night, upholding people not talking about
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: politics and not talking about religion. So these coaches, I
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: guess they listened to my show and they said, I'm
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: going to talk about politics. I meant it in the
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: context of doing it in your private life, your personal life,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: your conversations. Don't be shy, don't be afraid to get
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: into these things, but to do it respectfully. I don't
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: think they were engaging in political discourse. I think they
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: were engaging in propaganda saying that these ice officers were murderers.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: And I don't have those clips available. I wish I did.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: But if we could grab them and throw them in,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: we will. But the point that I'm making is you
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: can do what you want, but be judicious in the
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: process because anything else is just uncalled for and quite frankly,
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: could cause more harm than good. Rick, thanks for the call, brother,
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: Let us continue. I want to go to all right,
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: let's go to John giving us a call from Virginia.
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: John go right ahead, brother Richie.
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: It's Johnny Jacob Jingoheimer Schmidt.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: Johnny, thanks for being such a good supporter on titter Twitter.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, what's on your mind?
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: Brother, dude. I cannot tell you how grateful I am
• 39:44
  Speaker 11: to have you in my ear in these times. Brother.
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: You know, I'm looking at all this immigration, illegal immigration,
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: fighting about illegal immigration, and it keeps coming into my head,
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: these words, this thing my buddy keeps telling me. He's
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: told me for years. I got a buddy. He grew
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: up in Eastern Europe. He's in his late teens during
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: the when the Berlin Wall fel so like he lived it,
• 40:06
  Speaker 11: you know, and he always tells me, Johnny, you know
• 40:09
  Speaker 11: what's great about your country is that if you just
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: follow the rules, you can make yourself an amazing life.
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: He always tells me how where he's from in Eastern Europe.
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: He just no matter how many rules you follow, you
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: still got to bride people. They're still going to come
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: down on you can't get things done. And I don't know.
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: I just we should all be so grateful to live here.
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: Much love, brother, keep going man, peace.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: Thank you brother. I appreciate it, and you know what,
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: You're one hundred percent right, Thank you, John. This is
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: one of those things where we oftentimes don't live in
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: that to be cliche, that attitude of gratitude. We need
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: to be grateful for this country. We need to be
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: informed patriots that know what's going on, that care about
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: what's going on, make an impact in our immediate community,
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: whether it's helping our local church, doing some sort of
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: charitable function. I think that's always important. But at the
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: same time, we got to be thankful. And I'm not
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: telling you this is something I do that you don't do.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you this is something that I need to
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: do right. Oftentimes I get stuck in that mode where
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: I'm so used to being blessed, I'm so used to
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: things going well, I'm so used to life as we
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: see it right. My car works every time I get
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: in it. I have a wonderful place to sleep every night.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: My children are healthy, I'm healthy. I'm so used to
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: that that I forget, honestly, to thank God for those
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: things sometimes, and I try to remind myself of that daily.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: You gotta increase, at least for me. I gotta increase
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: my own level of gratitude. I gotta stay in. Gratitude
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: keeps me humble. And it's good to be expectant. It's
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: good to have what I call spoiled Brat syndrome. Meybeing
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: the youngest of my family, I've been able to achieve
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: a lot of things in life because of that spoiled
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: brat syndrome. I'll call it SBS, because because you don't
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: stop until you get what you want right, it makes
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: you tenacious, it makes you persistent, relentless. But at the
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: same time, you can forget that to say thank you,
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: stop and smell the roses and enjoy. Let us continue.
• 42:18
  Speaker 16: Kim, I'm in Warrenton, Virginia.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Him, Kim, what's on your mind tonight?
• 42:23
  Speaker 16: And I would like to know where I can listen
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: in the Washington, DC area. I can't seem to get
• 42:30
  Speaker 16: that information anywhere.
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Well, Kim, thank you for the call. Listen. You can
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: catch this show typically by nine pm. We are rocking
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: and rolling, and if you don't see it on your
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: iHeartRadio dot com or Spotify or wherever you're trying to
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: listen to the show, just be patient, hit refreshed. It
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: is coming. It's on its way. We do this stuff live,
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: and if there is something going on in the news
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: that may slow down or whatever. I don't have an
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: answer for you there, but I know that we sometime
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: between nine and midnight, depending what time you're nine PM
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: is because I don't know what time zone you're in there,
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: and you should be on the East Coast according to
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: what you said here. Either way, the best way to
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: tune in is going to be coming very soon. We're
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: going to be doing the show via video. And this
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: was something I've wanted to do for quite a while
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: and we weren't able to do in the previous situation.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: It just didn't seem to work out. So we'll be
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: doing a live stream and that'll be kicking off soon.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: I wish I had an exact date for you, but
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: there's other powers that be bigger than me. Plus there's
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: some other stuff. There's going to be a I don't
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: want to say too much just yet because I really can't.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: But very soon, I would say, within within a few
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: weeks time, we will have the announcement that I've been
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: looking forward to making, one of many. Right, There's a
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: few big things that are going on this year, but
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: that's part of it. Streaming video is definitely part of it,
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: and the distribution of it and the nuance is related
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: to that. So you'll be able to catch that live,
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: which I would suppose would be on all the usual
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: suspects right like YouTube, dot com as well as the
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: social media that allow us to live stream the show
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: live each evening. So keep your eyes peeled and your
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: ears open for that. Kim in Warrenton, thank you so much.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: I appreciate that. Now you stay beautiful. Kim. Thanks thanks
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: and amigos. I love talking to you guys open phones
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: across America. This is probably one of my favorite things
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: to do, is speak to people all across the country.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: It is always a pleasure to call in as often
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: as you can. Eight seven to seven Valdes number one
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: eight seven seven Valdez one. If you get me while
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: I'm actually here and we can get you on. We
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: will get you right in. If not, leave a message,
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: follow the prompt and we will get you on that way.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: Either way, you're gonna make your way on the show,
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Straight ahead,
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: we're going to continue with our recap and so much more.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: This is America.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: The forty fifth President.
• 45:08
  Speaker 14: Donald Trump thinks it's an honor to speak with Rich Valdez.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, very good.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Budget honor. Thanks Rich. The honor is all yours, conservative
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: talk with a dash of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: All right, and he goes, welcome back, Rich valdesk keeping
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: your company. And this is a a promise that I
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: made to Barbara, Barbara Gibson, who handles some of our
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: advertising and the administrative stuff for the show, who said
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: that I don't remind the listeners often enough about your
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: ability to put your message out on this program. And
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: some of you don't like the ads that are on.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: This's different types of ads, just FYI, Especially if you're
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: listening online, you get the ads that someone somewhere right,
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: whether it's Spotify or iHeart that they think are relevant you.
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: I don't choose those ads. I don't approve those ads
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: as ads have nothing to do with me. The ads
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: I have the control over are the ones that I
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: personally endorse. So when you hear me talk about just
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: Facts or any of the other sponsors we've had on
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: this program, those are things I personally believe in, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: people often ask me, how do I get you to
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: endorse my product? Well, the good news is Barbara handles
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: that stuff. But you can do it. We can work
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: something out. There's always an opportunity for things like that,
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: So I just wanted to let you know that is available,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: and for those who are interested, you can reach out
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: to Barbara. And the bottom line of it is, I
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: do enjoy spotlighting products that I believe in. Oftentimes, when
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: you hear me talk about a product that I've endorsed
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: on the air on this program, these are products that
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: I've used, I've used and I've benefited from, and I
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: think you should use them too, which is why I
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: do that. So again this is a editorial note. I
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: don't want to bombard you with more advertising speak. I
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: know there's plenty of that, but it keeps the show free.
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: And a lot of people have moved to a subscription model,
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: and we've been thinking about doing the Valdez VIP model,
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: where you get no ads and you just pay a
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: small monthly subscription. However, I think this should be free.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: I think you should just listen to the ad and
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: maybe you benefit from the ad and you don't have
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: to pay anything unless you want to buy something. So
• 47:27
  Speaker 5: when you hear me talk about sea crane radios, these
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: are fantastic radios, especially for this format, this medium. If
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: you want to listen to Spotify, iHeartRadio, YouTube, whatever, any
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: type of web based type of thing, you can do
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: that through the c crane Wi Fi radio. It gets
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: all sorts of stuff, right, It's like having an Alexa
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: that you can take anywhere you like. So keep that
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: stuff in mind, right, the stuff that I talk about,
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: these are legitimate things that really really benefit you. And
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: we have national quite frankly international reach. I was looking
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: the other day, but ninety percent of our audience comes
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: from the United States, but we have a growing amount
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: of people from Brazil, from Argentina and a couple other
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: countries out there. So as that continues to grow, you
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: know you'll learn more about it, obviously, but just keep
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: that in mind for those of you that represent national
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: interests and want to reach the type of audience that
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: we reach, which is a serious, smart conservative crowd. All right,
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: and he goes. That's the end of that editorial. Learn
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: to coming right back with my wrap up, don't go anywhere.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: This is America.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: We live in a remarkable time in human history right now,
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: one in which our technology has dramatically improved our living standards.
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: That's because the people that design and build the modern
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: wonders that make our lives better are bound by physical reality,
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: a world in which things either work or they don't work. Unfortunately,
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: those who oversee our political and educational institutions aren't limited
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: by these same constraints, instead of implement their agendas by
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: exploiting people's ignorance on issues like taxes and immigration. So

  Speaker 1: This is a Marria.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: He's making podcasting great again. This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: All right, I mean he goes. Welcome back, Rich Valdez,
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: keeping your company this Wednesday night. Lots to discuss. We've
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: discussed a lot of things already. I wanted to get
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: into a little bit of Venezuela before I let you go,
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: because you know, things there seem to be dying down
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: in the media. But at the same time, they're still
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: going to say a lot of questions, right Marco Rubio
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: talking about the oil in what is going to happen
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: with the oil and how that's going to look and
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: what it's going to be. And I think it's it's
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: a good thing for the United States. Listen, to this.
• 50:41
  Speaker 17: About to execute on a deal to take all the oil.
• 50:44
  Speaker 17: They have oil that is stuck in Venezuela. They can't
• 50:46
  Speaker 17: move it because of our quarantine and because it's sanctioned.
• 50:48
  Speaker 17: We are going to take between thirty and fifty million
• 50:50
  Speaker 17: bowels of oil. We're going to sell it in the
• 50:52
  Speaker 17: marketplace at market rates, not at the discounts Venezuela was getting.
• 50:55
  Speaker 17: That money will then be handled in such a way
• 50:58
  Speaker 17: that we will control how it is first, in a
• 51:00
  Speaker 17: way that benefits to Venezuelan people, not corruption, not the regime.
• 51:04
  Speaker 17: So we have a lot of leverage to move on
• 51:05
  Speaker 17: the stabilization front.
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: We are in them. So they are in the process
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: of selling the oil at market rate, not to China,
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: not to Iran, not to Russia. None of the Kamis
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: or the Islamists are going to get their hands on
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: Venezuela as oil. And they're now in partnership with the
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: United States and they're going to start making money again.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: And if these regime people want to stay in power,
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: they got to play ball with Rubio and Trump. I
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: think this is a win win, What say you? Right
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: to me, it seems like an absolute brilliant idea. And
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: anybody who's been there will tell you that back when
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: the United States was in charge, they were incredibly happy
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: with the outcome. They were incredibly happy with the economy,
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: they were incredibly happy with a whole lot of what
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: was going on there. By the way, tomorrow, I want
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: to talk about some of the real we're getting from
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: the crazies. There are a bunch of crazy liberal people
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: that are just having meltdowns crying on video. This is
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: a new thing. They cry on video, and I have
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: to say, if you're crying on video the logo, you're
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: likely going a little crazy here, right, There's something wrong
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: with you. And I mean they' in all seriousness. I
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: make jokes because we're on the radio and everything, but
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: I am dead serious when I say that. It's incredibly
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: important for you to see something that say something. Right,
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: if you see somebody it's making videos crying online and
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: putting a video of them crying, I mean maybe once twice.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know if there should be a number to it,
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: but what they're saying. I heard one woman say she's
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: going to be aiming for the the mid sections of
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: mega men with her pistol. I heard another woman say
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: that she just wants could just sit here and cry
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: with me. I'm going to make a video tomorrow, maybe
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: in the morning, and I'll post it to my Instagram
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: and maybe to some of the other other social media
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: and I'm going to make fun of these people, and
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: that's kind of part of what we do here, right,
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: But the other side, the empathetic side, I mean, he
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: really does feel bad, right. I might close it out
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: with a one of those commercials, or a clip from
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: one of those commercials with the hotline for people who
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: need mental help, because and I say it, yes, tongue
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: in cheek and jokingly, but I don't think it's truly
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: a joking matter. I'm going to make light of something
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: that is serious in the most serious way I can,
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: and I'll do that tomorrow. But the reality is, this
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: is some of what's going on there, and there's a
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: lot of people that are just, in my opinion, just
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: falling all over themselves. Oh. I meant to talk about
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: this yesterday and I didn't get to it. This is
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: an interesting one, and maybe I shouldn't get into it
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: right now. But how do you tease two days in
• 53:51
  Speaker 5: a row there's a guy running for governor? How do
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: think he's got a shot against the Congressman Byron Donald's,
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: who I've put my support behind. However, this guy says
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: he's going to charge a fifty percent tax on Only Fans.
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: That's the subscription service that is best known for women
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: that do pornographic videos. And I thought that was pretty interesting, right, Actually,
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: it's an idea. I think that makes sense because there's
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of people in Florida doing that. I'm
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: sure there's a whole lot of people everywhere, but for
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: a state that doesn't have income tax, this is a
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: great source of revenue and a way to discourage, you know,
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: videos of ill repute. If you will listen to.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: This ray so called Only Fans creator in Florida, you
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: are going to pay fifty percent to the state on
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: whatever you so called earn via that online degeneracy platform.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: And that money, that money will be used to fund
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: our education system, will be used to fund the crisis
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: pregnancy centers, will be used to fund the first of
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: its kind mental health zar for men in particular, because
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: men men, I have been told for far too long
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: that they are guilty of masculinity, that they are guilty
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: of all of society's ills. I'm not going to stand
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: for that slanderous lie. What I'm going to do is
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to end this lie that toxic masculinity is
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: responsible for all these sins and ills of society. Tax
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: if you are a so called only fans creator and you're.
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: Going to be paying this tax to the state of Florida.
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: And let me tell you again, I think this is
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: actually a good idea from James Fishback, Florida gubernatorial candidate.
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: So I'm curious to know you know your thoughts. Let
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: me know what you think. Do you think that's a
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: good idea, it's a bad idea. I think it's a
• 55:39
  Speaker 5: great idea. I've always supported the sin tax idea. You
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: know you don't want to ban alcohol, no problem, put
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: a hefty tax on it. You don't want to ban cigarettes,
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: no pride. Listen, I like a good wine, but I
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: get it, I understand. I mean, if you want you
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: need tax somewhere, great. I don't like taxes to begin with,
• 55:57
  Speaker 5: but if you there's a way that you could discourage
• 55:59
  Speaker 5: things that are not good for you, go I would
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: also support m McDonald's tax. Now I'm sure that you
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: know they're going to say that's unconstitutional somehow it's food.
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: How could you, you know, discourage people from eating food.
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: I think we need to discourage people from eating food
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: that's bad for you, like we talked about last night
• 56:15
  Speaker 5: with RFK Junior or doctor Marty mcleary, the Surgeon General,
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: all saying that you know, bread is bad for your,
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: grains are bad for you, oatmeal they said it was great,
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: it's also bad for you. Push us up your glycemic index,
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: makes things worse than they need to be. So what gives, right?
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: What gives is I think you got to use the
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: power of the purse, the power of the bully pulpit,
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: the power that you have politically. You got to use
• 56:39
  Speaker 5: what you got to help the best you can. Now,
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying to be a dictator and authoritarian. Ultimately,
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: this is a government of the people, for the people,
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: and buy the people, and it should remain that. I
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: don't I'm not suggesting that it shouldn't be. But I'm
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: just suggesting that if we are going to make deals
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: with Democrats for taxes here, there or anywhere else, let
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: us make them in those areas, make the concessions in
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: those areas. Let's talk about tax breaks on small businesses.
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: Let's knock down these tax rates, you know, ten percent,
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: and take that ten percent and add it to one
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: of these sinful things. Now, I know those lobbies are
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: gonna freak out and say, I'll never advertise on that
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: guy's show. He's talking about. You want to advertise on
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: this show. Listen, you don't have to. You've never heard
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: me say buy a blank, blank beer, buy a blank
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: blank wine, and I like wine. I'm not against them.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying, if there's a place we got to
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: do it, cigarettes things like that. You know, I don't
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: want the cigarette lobby after me or against me. But
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: at the same time, many states already have a high
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: tax on cigarettes. That's why they went to vaping. Also,
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: something I don't recommend. I don't think it's good for you.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: It's very bad for you. You got these foreign chemicals, stuff's
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: coming from China, popcorn lung and all that craziness. Listen.
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: I've had competing lobbyists in the past on the show,
• 57:51
  Speaker 5: and each of them make a compelling argument. Right, I'm
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: always on the side of liberty, which is why we
• 57:57
  Speaker 5: still have these things, not because of any choice of mine,
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: but there's a reality. People have a choice to make
• 58:03
  Speaker 5: bad decisions. Like I said earlier, Pe, you have a
• 58:06
  Speaker 5: choice to be stupid. So don't be stupid. Be an
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: informed patriot, as Ronald Reagan called us to be. Remember
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: the quotes that we end our show with from Lord Acton,
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: Hamilton and others. The only thing necessary for evil to
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: triumph is for good people like you to do nothing.
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: So do something, know something, say something, stand for something,
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: because if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: I start up broke, see my take care, good night,
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: and God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez, and this
• 58:40
  Speaker 5: is America.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: This is Ama.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 8: Passssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
