- 1:17Speaker 5: and there's a few clips floating around here that are
- 1:19Speaker 5: doing a lot of a lot of rounds. So I
- 1:24Speaker 5: know people have a lot to say, lots of comments
- 1:26Speaker 5: going on, and President Trump and Trompito's in all of this. Magnus,
- 1:30Speaker 5: the forty fifth and forty seventh president of these United States,
- 1:33Speaker 5: has been on fire. He's been super busy. The biggest
- 1:37Speaker 5: moment probably walking straight off the set of NBC's Meet
- 1:41Speaker 5: the Press. He's been balancing a jobs report. He's been
- 1:46Speaker 5: he's been working on a piece deal. He's been visiting
- 1:50Speaker 5: New York City, going to the Garden to catch the
- 1:52Speaker 5: Knicks game Game three, and clapping back at Steven A. Smith. Now, listen,
- 1:58Speaker 5: I like both of these guys. I've interviewed each of them.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Both of them I've interviewed at different times on this program,
- 2:03Speaker 5: and I'm going to get into that a little bit.
- 2:07Speaker 5: And perhaps the biggest moment in recent days. Is el
- 2:10Speaker 5: trumpito walking off the set of Meet the Press with
- 2:13Speaker 5: Kristin Welker, Right, This was an interesting moment. She kept
- 2:17Speaker 5: circling back to the same old election questions, pressing and
- 2:21Speaker 5: pressing Trump, answering and answering, saying finally I've had enough.
- 2:25Speaker 5: He stood up and he left, and he gave her
- 2:27Speaker 5: a little lecture on the way out literal mic drop. Right.
- 2:31Speaker 5: It was really something. I've got the audio. We're going
- 2:33Speaker 5: to get into that momentarily. But that's not just how
- 2:36Speaker 5: you walk off a set. That's a real message being sent. Right.
- 2:40Speaker 5: He's letting people know we're not playing games anymore with
- 2:43Speaker 5: these gotcha interviews. That was the past. That was those
- 2:46Speaker 5: weak politicians that would fold and squirm when the public
- 2:50Speaker 5: would you know, in the press, I should say, would start,
- 2:53Speaker 5: you know, trying to make them look bad in front
- 2:55Speaker 5: of the public. But Trump's figured out their game and
- 2:57Speaker 5: he's calling their bluff. Listen to this, Like.
- 3:00Speaker 6: Stupid Biden, he's not smart enough to know what's going on.
- 3:03Speaker 6: But people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful resolute desk
- 3:08Speaker 6: in the Oval office.
- 3:09Speaker 2: What they did to the lives of people.
- 3:11Speaker 6: They destroyed people, They sent people to jail who did
- 3:15Speaker 6: nothing with it.
- 3:17Speaker 7: Just be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.
- 3:19Speaker 2: But there's a lot about Todd Blanch.
- 3:23Speaker 5: She totally ignores him. He says there's a lot of evidence,
- 3:26Speaker 5: there's a lot of evidence, you know, the way he
- 3:28Speaker 5: says it, and she just let me ask you about
- 3:30Speaker 5: Todd Blanch, just totally ignoring him. Like listen, you senile,
- 3:33Speaker 5: old buffoon. I'm gonna do the question asking around here
- 3:36Speaker 5: because I'm Kristin Welker and this is Meet the Press.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Who are you the president? Go ahead, let's.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Talk about tremendous evidence. Is nothing but evidence. The election
- 3:48Speaker 2: was rigged. It was a dirty election.
- 3:50Speaker 6: This is happening again right now in dallafor.
- 3:54Speaker 5: You know what's fascinating to me. It really is a fascination,
- 3:57Speaker 5: a point, the fascination. If I will, if I see,
- 4:00Speaker 5: if you will check this out. I've been doing this,
- 4:04Speaker 5: you know, commentary thing for the last eight years. Before that,
- 4:07Speaker 5: I was doing politics, working in the administration of going
- 4:10Speaker 5: to Chris Christy and I've done a a few things
- 4:13Speaker 5: in my time, and I can tell you that for years,
- 4:17Speaker 5: you know, I worked on a political campaign for the
- 4:19Speaker 5: president for President Bush back in two thousand and four.
- 4:23Speaker 5: That's more than two decades ago. And I can tell
- 4:26Speaker 5: you that back then, we all knew that there was
- 4:30Speaker 5: fraud in Democrat districts. That was a given. That's how
- 4:34Speaker 5: elections were one in Hudson County, New Jersey. That's how
- 4:37Speaker 5: they were one in Chicago. That's how they were one
- 4:38Speaker 5: in Camden. That's how they're won in Philly. Everybody knew this,
- 4:43Speaker 5: and of course it's how you do it. In Los Angeles.
- 4:47Speaker 5: Everybody knew, and then their scapegoating here is no, no, no,
- 4:53Speaker 5: there's no there's nothing here. Well, then why don't you
- 4:56Speaker 5: ask for ID all? Because that's racist, because if you
- 4:59Speaker 5: ask a black black people aren't capable of getting an ID.
- 5:02Speaker 5: This is Kamala Harris and others that were espousing this nonsense.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Kathy Hokeel talking about these kids don't know what computers are,
- 5:11Speaker 5: Joe Biden talking about you know, black kids could be
- 5:14Speaker 5: just as smart as white kids, right. I mean, it's
- 5:17Speaker 5: just unbelievable to me how the racism has been on
- 5:22Speaker 5: display for decades. The evidence has been in Christian Welker's
- 5:27Speaker 5: face for decades, and because the people counting are the
- 5:33Speaker 5: same people that are the cops, that are the same
- 5:35Speaker 5: people that are the prosecutors, are the same people that
- 5:37Speaker 5: are the judges in these completely Democrat controlled districts. This
- 5:41Speaker 5: is what they've done forever. I mean, this is literally
- 5:44Speaker 5: like what Stalin did, It's what Madudo does, it is
- 5:48Speaker 5: what Castro does. And to sit here and argue that
- 5:53Speaker 5: you've never presented on it, that's exactly what Fidel Castro says.
- 5:57Speaker 5: And it's just remarkable to me that they don't for
- 6:00Speaker 5: a second, like, I don't think she's a shill. I
- 6:02Speaker 5: really think that she's just sipped so much of a
- 6:04Speaker 5: kool aid that she believes everything she's told. And never
- 6:08Speaker 5: once did she say, you mean to tell me that
- 6:11Speaker 5: I'm making an example of bodega reference here? You mean
- 6:15Speaker 5: to tell me that people will sell their food stamps
- 6:18Speaker 5: for cash? No, man, they got don't tell me, no way. Yeah,
- 6:24Speaker 5: Kristin Welker, those things do happen.
- 6:26Speaker 6: Play the tape now in California, right now, it's looking
- 6:31Speaker 6: look at what's happening in California.
- 6:33Speaker 2: It's in California. It's now they're not there.
- 6:37Speaker 6: They're dropping fast because it's.
- 6:39Speaker 2: A rigged election. Let me tell you.
- 6:41Speaker 6: It's four days and they aren't even close to coming
- 6:45Speaker 6: up the You know why they're doing that, because.
- 6:47Speaker 2: They're cheating on the election.
- 6:48Speaker 3: What do you have evidence?
- 6:50Speaker 2: I have to do is look crooked press.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Crooked press is right. All you have to do is look, man,
- 6:58Speaker 5: that is some og issue right there. This is a
- 7:01Speaker 5: guy who's been around for a long time, and he's
- 7:04Speaker 5: trying to explain to this girl. Look, and you know
- 7:07Speaker 5: she's trying to level what I'm saying, Like, look, mister president,
- 7:09Speaker 5: that stuff it just doesn't exist. Okay, if you never
- 7:12Speaker 5: got caught, you never did it? Come on, I mean,
- 7:17Speaker 5: what world are we living in? Unbelievable? Go ahead, let it.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Rock people like stupid Biden.
- 7:26Speaker 5: He's not Is that the right spot?
- 7:31Speaker 2: And I listen to people and let's see what happens. Sir,
- 7:34Speaker 2: that's not evident. You think it's appropriate. That's how they vot.
- 7:37Speaker 6: You think it's appropriate that they have an election and
- 7:41Speaker 6: five days later they're nowhere close to.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Picking local officials.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Acknowledge they are.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Now he's talking about this election for Spencer Pratt versus
- 7:50Speaker 5: Karen Vass and Nitya Rothman. I think that's her name.
- 7:54Speaker 5: If I'm not saying it right, forgive me. And what's
- 7:57Speaker 5: interesting about this one is he's one hundred percent right.
- 8:00Speaker 5: We have normalized the crazy, the fact that people have
- 8:03Speaker 5: an election and we go, well, you know, it's going
- 8:06Speaker 5: to take us about a week to figure this out.
- 8:08Speaker 5: All they're doing is building in time. The ingredients are
- 8:11Speaker 5: baked in for them to do what they got to
- 8:13Speaker 5: do to make sure they win, Like how much does
- 8:16Speaker 5: she need to win by? All right, well, let's make
- 8:19Speaker 5: it look sort of fair. Let's do the mail in ballots,
- 8:21Speaker 5: and whoever gets the most mail in ballots quote unquote wink, wink, nod, nod,
- 8:25Speaker 5: look the other way, then they get them. All right,
- 8:29Speaker 5: that's the easiest way to beat a Republican because republicans look,
- 8:32Speaker 5: the problem with Republicans and again it's not a problem
- 8:34Speaker 5: per se, but it's a standard trade. Most of them
- 8:39Speaker 5: are saying the same thing. Look, can you leave me alone?
- 8:41Speaker 5: I just want to be left alone. I just want
- 8:43Speaker 5: to make money, I want to go in vacation, want
- 8:44Speaker 5: to live my life. Leave me alone. And the liberals,
- 8:49Speaker 5: in particular, the progressive liberals, the last thing they want
- 8:53Speaker 5: to do is leave you alone. They want to be
- 8:54Speaker 5: all up in your business. They want to be all
- 8:56Speaker 5: up in your face. They're like, hey, you see that
- 8:57Speaker 5: free parking spot in from your house, I'd like to
- 8:59Speaker 5: put a meter there. Do you know that every time
- 9:01Speaker 5: you go into New York? I want to tax you?
- 9:02Speaker 5: All right, we have that already's easy pass. Oh okay, hold on,
- 9:05Speaker 5: Well then what if you do it between the hours
- 9:07Speaker 5: of noon and six pm? Can we give you a
- 9:10Speaker 5: double tax? Can we call it congestion pricing? I mean
- 9:13Speaker 5: they are in your face and in your pocket every
- 9:15Speaker 5: step of the way. This is what they do. And
- 9:20Speaker 5: that's the tension that we're coming down to here. So yeah,
- 9:24Speaker 5: Spencer Pratt, he's in this whole relulu, if you will,
- 9:27Speaker 5: this whole big mess about his election. He's a fraction
- 9:32Speaker 5: of a point away or three points, three and a
- 9:35Speaker 5: half points, something crazy like that, where he was up
- 9:37Speaker 5: in a tremendous lead, and now the mail and ballots
- 9:39Speaker 5: are coming in and it's looking like this lady is
- 9:41Speaker 5: going to be the person. And does it behoove Karen Bass,
- 9:45Speaker 5: who's ahead by ten, Yeah, it behooves her to have
- 9:50Speaker 5: Nitya Rothmond. She's got an ally. She said, look, I'm
- 9:53Speaker 5: gonna win, but I'll work with you. I'll work with
- 9:55Speaker 5: you with my ballots. I got my ballots stuffers, and
- 9:57Speaker 5: I'm not saying she has those, but I'm saying he
- 10:00Speaker 5: might have those. It's a possibility. And voila. Five days later,
- 10:06Speaker 5: Spencer Pratt is that after running this, you know, very
- 10:09Speaker 5: good campaign. But again, I was on TV what is it?
- 10:11Speaker 5: A week ago and they asked me, what do you
- 10:13Speaker 5: think is going to happen? And they were so excited,
- 10:15Speaker 5: and I said, I don't think anything's gonna happen. You know,
- 10:18Speaker 5: I said, sadly, I don't believe in the people of
- 10:20Speaker 5: Los Angeles. I believe in Spencer Pratt. I don't believe
- 10:22Speaker 5: in the people of Los Angeles. It's a shame. Anyway,
- 10:25Speaker 5: let's finish this tape.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Well, they're urging, or they're crooked. They they're urging the
- 10:29Speaker 2: votes to be counted quickly. That's how they can crooked.
- 10:32Speaker 6: Just like your crooked, your precious crooked, and meet the
- 10:34Speaker 6: precious crooked.
- 10:35Speaker 2: To be fair, I'm not crooked, but well, you play
- 10:38Speaker 2: right into the hands. Ut you're either crooked or you're stupid.
- 10:41Speaker 2: You play right into the.
- 10:45Speaker 5: I don't know how you could not watch it I
- 10:46Speaker 5: know some people are going, how dear does he know
- 10:49Speaker 5: that he is the sitting president of the United States?
- 10:53Speaker 5: How dare you do something like that that is beneath
- 10:57Speaker 5: the dignity of your office? Donald Trump? How dah you?
- 11:01Speaker 5: That is my Gretath Thumberg voice? How dare you? How
- 11:04Speaker 5: dare you? Okay?
- 11:05Speaker 6: Good their hands with this rep You know that these
- 11:09Speaker 6: elections are rigged.
- 11:11Speaker 2: Your network knows that they're rigged.
- 11:13Speaker 6: You know that I won an election in a landslide
- 11:17Speaker 6: and I got ninety four percent bad press.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I got presented because you have no credibility, but you've
- 11:23Speaker 2: never presented evidence there was rigged. Let's keep talking about
- 11:26Speaker 2: I want to talk about Tom.
- 11:27Speaker 6: You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented.
- 11:31Speaker 6: Let's talk your elections or tore like a third world country.
- 11:37Speaker 6: Your elections are crooked, and your crooked, and meet the
- 11:40Speaker 6: presses crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.
- 11:45Speaker 5: By the way, he has won lawsuits against almost all
- 11:48Speaker 5: of these organizations for defaming him and the.
- 11:52Speaker 6: One sided, crooked network. So let's call it quits because
- 11:55Speaker 6: I've had enough.
- 11:56Speaker 2: Thank you, darling, have a good time the president.
- 11:58Speaker 8: Let's please I travel all the way to Wisconsin.
- 12:01Speaker 5: But I said that, and they though she she traveled
- 12:04Speaker 5: all the way from Wisconsin to sit here in the
- 12:07Speaker 5: rain in front of a track there with a bunch
- 12:08Speaker 5: of baals of Hey, this might be my favorite part
- 12:11Speaker 5: where she's begging, because let me tell you, listen, I've
- 12:13Speaker 5: interviewed President Trump and uh and I was honored to
- 12:16Speaker 5: do it. But if he got up and walked away,
- 12:19Speaker 5: I'm just gonna probably pop man smack right and bring
- 12:22Speaker 5: him that smoke. I'm not gonna sit there. But come on,
- 12:24Speaker 5: mister President, please go ahead.
- 12:27Speaker 2: I've shot that rain long.
- 12:29Speaker 6: I know later an hour ordered off in the rain,
- 12:33Speaker 6: and I've given you enough time you would to straighten.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Out your press because you know what, mister puff.
- 12:37Speaker 6: Country can never be great travel with it.
- 12:40Speaker 2: We traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
- 12:45Speaker 5: And that's it. He got up and he walked away.
- 12:48Speaker 5: El trumpito out now again, if you want to weigh
- 12:52Speaker 5: in on this, I'd love to hear your thoughts. It
- 12:53Speaker 5: was it wrong for the president to walk away after
- 12:56Speaker 5: her not acknowledging and just repeating like a broken marian.
- 13:00Speaker 5: But you never presented evidence. But you never presented evidence.
- 13:03Speaker 5: But you know because you know he did present evidence,
- 13:06Speaker 5: and I think he brought like twenty lawsuits, and every
- 13:08Speaker 5: single one of those lawsuits he didn't lose them. They
- 13:10Speaker 5: wouldn't hear them. So imagine you get robbed for your
- 13:13Speaker 5: Cuban link somewhere in the city. You go into the
- 13:16Speaker 5: precinct and you're like, hey, listen, this sky just took
- 13:18Speaker 5: my chance of say we're not doing those today. I
- 13:21Speaker 5: just want to file a police but no, we're not
- 13:22Speaker 5: doing those today. But I said, I got robbed. Listen,
- 13:25Speaker 5: I said, we're not doing them today, thank you.
- 13:27Speaker 6: Right.
- 13:27Speaker 5: It wasn't until they reworded it. They waited a little bit,
- 13:30Speaker 5: they brought back the case that they was tossed out
- 13:33Speaker 5: on latches, and eventually that whole I think it was
- 13:36Speaker 5: Rule twenty two. It was eventually overturned in Pennsylvania as
- 13:40Speaker 5: a result of a case that was thrown out three times,
- 13:42Speaker 5: and then eventually, I think on the fourth time they
- 13:44Speaker 5: took it. And I only know that because it didn't
- 13:46Speaker 5: get any press. I happened to know one of the lawyers,
- 13:49Speaker 5: Julie Strauss Levin. If it wasn't for that fact and
- 13:52Speaker 5: knowing that she's at America First Legal now nobody would know.
- 13:58Speaker 5: But that's the thing, and that happened. That's how that went.
- 14:01Speaker 5: So listen, they're not giving Trump a fair shot here.
- 14:04Speaker 5: Very similar to this stuff I was talking about the
- 14:06Speaker 5: other day with the Mamdani situation, where they were saying, oh,
- 14:10Speaker 5: but it's mam Donnie, because he just wanted to offer
- 14:13Speaker 5: a breakfast to the people from the parade committee and
- 14:16Speaker 5: he didn't want these VIPs hobnobbing in Gracie Manch and
- 14:20Speaker 5: he wanted something with the people. That's straight rhetoric. He
- 14:23Speaker 5: was always going to be in the parade. This has
- 14:26Speaker 5: always been a battle between the Democrats Socialists of America
- 14:29Speaker 5: and the Democratic Party of New York and the DNC,
- 14:33Speaker 5: And they're arguing over a mister espayatte congressman, I forget
- 14:39Speaker 5: his first name, Espayat, the Dominican guy up in wood
- 14:42Speaker 5: in the Heights.
- 14:43Speaker 6: He is.
- 14:45Speaker 5: He is being challenged by a Mamdanni candidate. Right, So
- 14:48Speaker 5: it's Democrat versus Democrat to the eye of the ignorant.
- 14:52Speaker 5: But those who know know that the socialists are versus
- 14:54Speaker 5: the Democrats, and they're not always on the same page.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Many of them are afraid, like Chuck Schumer, these guys
- 15:00Speaker 5: are fighting back, right Nidia have Alaskaz. I'm no fan
- 15:03Speaker 5: per se, but she's been a congresswoman in New York
- 15:06Speaker 5: for a long time, very liberal Democrat, and she decided
- 15:10Speaker 5: she was retiring, and I guess she wanted to name
- 15:12Speaker 5: her successor and have that person run.
- 15:15Speaker 3: And now Mo'm done.
- 15:17Speaker 5: He's running somebody against her old seat, and she doesn't
- 15:20Speaker 5: like that, right, So she's gotten into a thing and
- 15:22Speaker 5: she says, I can't take him at his word. And
- 15:23Speaker 5: we talked about this already on the last show, but
- 15:25Speaker 5: I bring it up to make the point that people
- 15:27Speaker 5: will sip the kool aid. All he has to do
- 15:29Speaker 5: is come out and say, look, I just want to
- 15:31Speaker 5: do something where we're directly with the people. It's got
- 15:33Speaker 5: nothing to do with the people. I've had something to
- 15:34Speaker 5: do with the people. These wonderful people that organize and
- 15:38Speaker 5: volunteer to put together the Puerto Rican Parade arguably one
- 15:42Speaker 5: of the biggest parades in New York City, right, probably
- 15:44Speaker 5: a toss up between that and Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
- 15:47Speaker 5: Guess what honor those people? Let them hobnob a little
- 15:52Speaker 5: bit with the with the mayor. They've only been doing
- 15:55Speaker 5: it for forty years since Mayor Cochran's mayor, Coach, Mayor Dinkins,
- 15:58Speaker 5: Mayor Giuliani, Mayor Bloomberg Mayor to Blasio, Mayor Adams. That's
- 16:05Speaker 5: six mayors so far, eight years of piece or whatever
- 16:09Speaker 5: it is not so long or whatever. I mean, forty
- 16:13Speaker 5: years is forty years of tradition that he's throwing out
- 16:15Speaker 5: the window. Why not because of the tradition. A he
- 16:18Speaker 5: doesn't give it damn about the Puerto Rican community. It's
- 16:20Speaker 5: not about the people. It's about the power. It's all
- 16:22Speaker 5: about the power in the situation. He wants to flex
- 16:26Speaker 5: on Congressman Ndia of Alaskas and that's it. So good
- 16:32Speaker 5: for the Puerto Rican community for stepping that up. And
- 16:34Speaker 5: we'll get into that in a second. I want to
- 16:36Speaker 5: keep going on ed trumpito here. That was just an
- 16:38Speaker 5: example on an aside here. But Trump didn't stop there.
- 16:41Speaker 5: You know, he's been working on a major piece framework
- 16:44Speaker 5: with Iran. He's got real negotiations going on. I mean,
- 16:47Speaker 5: they fire some rockets here, they fire some rockets there.
- 16:50Speaker 5: This one's going on that one. But he's looking at
- 16:53Speaker 5: really keeping the Strait of Hormuz open. We just had
- 16:55Speaker 5: a strong jobs report. And again, if this were the bidendministration,
- 17:00Speaker 5: I would say, look, don't pay attention to a strong
- 17:02Speaker 5: jobs report because in the next day or three it's
- 17:04Speaker 5: going to be adjusted downward and say, no, actually it
- 17:06Speaker 5: was a net loss for jobs. That hasn't been the
- 17:09Speaker 5: trend or the case lately for the Trump administration. So
- 17:13Speaker 5: I'm cautiously optimistic hoping that these jobs are going to
- 17:16Speaker 5: stick around.
- 17:16Speaker 6: It.
- 17:17Speaker 5: They're solid and they're real, because you know, you need
- 17:19Speaker 5: a good job's economy. You need a good robust economy,
- 17:23Speaker 5: especially when you're adding jobs because of this AI production. Now,
- 17:28Speaker 5: some people are concerned about the AI production because they say,
- 17:31Speaker 5: you know what, these data centers need to be cooled,
- 17:33Speaker 5: and that there's a lot of digging and drilling in
- 17:35Speaker 5: this and that, and it can mess up your water table.
- 17:38Speaker 5: I can't really argue there. All I could say is,
- 17:41Speaker 5: if we're going to live like that, then we'll never
- 17:42Speaker 5: build anything. Right, I forget AI stuff. You'll never build
- 17:45Speaker 5: another building. We'll never build another resort, another skyscraper, another
- 17:48Speaker 5: government building, another daycare center. We'll never build another anything,
- 17:52Speaker 5: another affordable housing complex. Right, I'll use the same argument
- 17:55Speaker 5: against you, so you got to take your risks when
- 17:59Speaker 5: you're building. We've been building for a long time, and
- 18:00Speaker 5: I think we know how to build. I think this
- 18:03Speaker 5: because this is a new idea and people have a
- 18:06Speaker 5: negative view of AI, it's a perfect time to demonize
- 18:09Speaker 5: the whole industry and slow it down. Why because it's
- 18:12Speaker 5: fueling our economy. It's like rocket fuel now, some people,
- 18:16Speaker 5: but Rich, come on, there's all these risks that come
- 18:20Speaker 5: with AI. Yeah, I would agree that there are. Like,
- 18:23Speaker 5: you know, I just saw iHeartRadio the CEO committed to
- 18:28Speaker 5: only having humans involved in iHeartRadio, human hosts, humans running
- 18:33Speaker 5: the board, and I said, you know what, I love that.
- 18:36Speaker 5: I think that's fantastic. And I would agree to something
- 18:38Speaker 5: like that myself, right, because I'm a human and I
- 18:40Speaker 5: love radio so great. Somebody will turn around say, but Rich,
- 18:46Speaker 5: use AI?
- 18:47Speaker 2: I do?
- 18:47Speaker 5: I do not so much on this show. But this
- 18:51Speaker 5: show is turned into Spanish, and I do speak Spanish.
- 18:56Speaker 5: But I would have to do an entire show in Spanish,
- 18:58Speaker 5: right in a second productuction more of everything. I'd literally
- 19:03Speaker 5: be duplicating my output of work if I couldn't translate
- 19:08Speaker 5: it to AI. And the reason I haven't done a
- 19:10Speaker 5: show in Spanish forever is because there aren't enough sponsors
- 19:14Speaker 5: to keep the Spanish show on the air that you
- 19:18Speaker 5: would need in traditional media, but through AI, the cost
- 19:22Speaker 5: is minimal. Right, we invest in this one show, we
- 19:26Speaker 5: have sponsors for this one show, and now we can
- 19:28Speaker 5: add sponsors, and we can give you a deal on
- 19:30Speaker 5: those sponsorships because quite frankly, you're not paying for the
- 19:33Speaker 5: entire production cost. And anybody who's sponsoring in English, they
- 19:38Speaker 5: can get the Spanish as an add on for relatively
- 19:41Speaker 5: an expensive amount. So you tell me that's the best
- 19:43Speaker 5: two forever. Nobody's losing their jobs. Now, you could argue
- 19:47Speaker 5: that my Spanish producer would have lost his job, the
- 19:51Speaker 5: job that never got created. I could argue that, but
- 19:54Speaker 5: then I would say, you know, we would need the
- 19:55Speaker 5: Spanish sponsors that never materialized either, Right. I can't. I
- 20:00Speaker 5: can't think of the amount of times I've looked at
- 20:02Speaker 5: Goya and said, hey, you guys should do something with me, right,
- 20:06Speaker 5: And it's always been they either they don't like my politics,
- 20:09Speaker 5: or they say, no, it's not about politics. Is that
- 20:13Speaker 5: we just don't do politics. We don't advertise on shows.
- 20:16Speaker 5: They have a blackout on those things. You know, we
- 20:18Speaker 5: just do morning shows or traffic and weather or things that.
- 20:22Speaker 5: You know, we don't want our customers to get mad
- 20:23Speaker 5: at us. And you know, again, it sounds nice on
- 20:26Speaker 5: its face, and kudos to them for that position if
- 20:29Speaker 5: they like it. But I'll say, what about all the
- 20:31Speaker 5: people that do advertise right talk media, right news, talk radio,
- 20:36Speaker 5: talk television. There's some of the hottest things out there.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Have you ever seen other than the time Matt Gates
- 20:41Speaker 5: was on The View? Any conservatives on the View? You
- 20:45Speaker 5: think anybody's stopping their sponsorships on the View because there's
- 20:49Speaker 5: no conservative it's all liberal all the time. No, those
- 20:53Speaker 5: people are gone, well, it's entirely too liberal. They say
- 20:55Speaker 5: Trump is a sexual abuser, they say, and I'm saying
- 20:59Speaker 5: that nice, right, they use the R word. The things
- 21:02Speaker 5: that they say are just wild on that show. No
- 21:05Speaker 5: problems with sponsorships because it's a one way street. You
- 21:08Speaker 5: can malign one side of the aisle, but you can't
- 21:11Speaker 5: malign the other. Anyway. We continue, in addition to all
- 21:16Speaker 5: the piece stuff that's going on, now you've got Stephen A.
- 21:21Speaker 5: Smith digging into Eldrempito and this one is interesting. I'm
- 21:26Speaker 5: gonna take a pause right here, because I've been going

- 25:21Speaker 3: it down.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Oh he's still had some what's his name.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Rich Veldez?
- 25:27Speaker 5: All right for me, welcome back, Rich VALDEZK. Keeping your
- 25:30Speaker 5: company here, and I want to get into this Stephen A.
- 25:33Speaker 5: Smith controversy. He threw a little shade at Ed Trombito
- 25:37Speaker 5: like he does, that's what he does, right, he's a commentator,
- 25:40Speaker 5: he's a damn good one. And Ed trum Pito not
- 25:43Speaker 5: really feeling what he said, but taking it real smooth.
- 25:46Speaker 5: I got both clips for you. I want you to
- 25:48Speaker 5: check one of these out. So the legendary sportscaster Stephen A. Smith.
- 25:53Speaker 5: He's hosting his show First Take on ESPN, and the
- 25:57Speaker 5: question they're posing to the audience is will the Nick's
- 26:02Speaker 5: momentum be disrupted by President Trump? And Steven A. Smith
- 26:08Speaker 5: goes to town. Listen to this.
- 26:12Speaker 9: Strictly a basketball segment. This President has no business showing
- 26:19Speaker 9: up in New York City. I am dead serious. It
- 26:22Speaker 9: is selfish, it is narcissistic. It is ridiculous that he
- 26:28Speaker 9: is coming to this game. I would say the same
- 26:30Speaker 9: thing if it were Obama, George W.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Clinton.
- 26:34Speaker 9: I don't give it theren We went back to Reagan.
- 26:36Speaker 9: This is not a football stadium in some space in
- 26:39Speaker 9: Texas where you got a whole bunch of outlays and
- 26:41Speaker 9: all of this.
- 26:42Speaker 3: This is the garden.
- 26:43Speaker 9: This is midtown Manhattan.
- 26:45Speaker 5: You have any idea what the.
- 26:46Speaker 9: Congestion is going to be like in New York City.
- 26:48Speaker 5: Here, I get off of my radio. Strict now he
- 26:52Speaker 5: goes into his thing. Let me let me tell you
- 26:54Speaker 5: my perspective of this. I do believe President Trump had
- 26:58Speaker 5: a right to be there. A. He's the resident, and
- 27:00Speaker 5: why not? And B probably this should be A he's
- 27:04Speaker 5: a new Yorker. Trump is a New Yorker and he
- 27:06Speaker 5: was in the box with the owner of the Knicks. Now,
- 27:10Speaker 5: I don't think it was like Trump was like, excuse me, hello,
- 27:13Speaker 5: is this thing on?
- 27:14Speaker 3: Hello?
- 27:14Speaker 5: Hello, I would like to get an invitation. Yes, I
- 27:18Speaker 5: would because because I would love to go and watch
- 27:21Speaker 5: the Knicks. No, I'm pretty sure somebody extended an invitation
- 27:25Speaker 5: to him. And even if right the way those things
- 27:29Speaker 5: kind of work, you know, people from the President's office,
- 27:31Speaker 5: his inner circle, you know, Let's say he wants to go,
- 27:35Speaker 5: he'll be like, hey, listen, call uh, call Dolan, see uh,
- 27:40Speaker 5: you know, see see how things are going. Maybe just
- 27:43Speaker 5: maybe wants to see me tomorrow. No, you never know,
- 27:45Speaker 5: you never know, right, maybe it was even something like that.
- 27:48Speaker 5: And you know what, don't look at have said, mister president,
- 27:50Speaker 5: we love you. I'm so sorry. I would love to
- 27:52Speaker 5: have you here. But no, there's no way. There's no
- 27:54Speaker 5: way we could, you know, shut down all in New
- 27:57Speaker 5: York City and cause mayhem everywhere just so you could
- 28:00Speaker 5: come watch the game. Now, if that was his perspective,
- 28:02Speaker 5: I could tell you. My perspective is I think he
- 28:04Speaker 5: should be allowed to be there. No, biggie, Yeah, some
- 28:08Speaker 5: traffic problems, for sure. Did I see them firsthand? You bet.
- 28:12Speaker 5: Let me tell you a little about these traffic problems.
- 28:14Speaker 5: So yesterday I was shooting a TV show with my
- 28:18Speaker 5: friends at Newsmax and I was coming home. I'm using
- 28:24Speaker 5: public transportation, and let me tell you, I was walking
- 28:27Speaker 5: on twenty something street, then thirty somethings street. Everything was
- 28:32Speaker 5: shut down. Everything was shut down, blocks around the garden, everything.
- 28:36Speaker 5: And I never heard the police commissioner tish and announcement
- 28:39Speaker 5: that she had where she said, attention, everything is going
- 28:42Speaker 5: to be closed around the garden. I didn't get that
- 28:43Speaker 5: in memo until I just saw that. I was corralled
- 28:46Speaker 5: like cattle. And guess what. Cattle are kind of friendly.
- 28:48Speaker 5: They don't do a stampede. These people were a wild
- 28:51Speaker 5: rush hour in New Yorkers trying to walk a mile
- 28:53Speaker 5: a minute, and guess what, they couldn't go anywhere, So
- 28:56Speaker 5: it was crazy. I actually cut a little video and
- 28:58Speaker 5: once I got out of them crazy. I should have
- 29:00Speaker 5: made the video while I was in the crazy because
- 29:02Speaker 5: you could have really seen how many people were on
- 29:05Speaker 5: top of each other. Inside these It looked like New
- 29:07Speaker 5: Year's Eve, but with way more security and that's saying
- 29:12Speaker 5: something right. New Year's even Times Square. It was massive,
- 29:15Speaker 5: the amount of people out there. All that to be said,
- 29:20Speaker 5: maybe it could have been done better. There was a
- 29:22Speaker 5: lot of cops standing around. I think could have been
- 29:24Speaker 5: you know, opening ways for people to you know, you
- 29:27Speaker 5: could have done more crowd control. I'm definitely criticizing the
- 29:30Speaker 5: police here, and I think maybe that's the commissioner, maybe
- 29:33Speaker 5: that was the Mayor's doing. It didn't seem like the
- 29:35Speaker 5: most effective way to do it right. You had a
- 29:38Speaker 5: lot of people. To me, you were making safety problems,
- 29:41Speaker 5: not avoiding them, which is likely why there were all
- 29:44Speaker 5: those riots that night. People say this because they lost,
- 29:47Speaker 5: because they're savages. Yeah, granted, I'm sure they were, but
- 29:51Speaker 5: the fact that they're all on top of each other
- 29:52Speaker 5: had nowhere to go. You couldn't go I can't go
- 29:56Speaker 5: this way. Oh to go up this way? You got
- 29:57Speaker 5: to go down fourteen blocks. Really that many blocks. But
- 30:01Speaker 5: it's a whole bunch of blocks, right, You're clearly going
- 30:03Speaker 5: to get people out of their element, you know. Anyway,
- 30:05Speaker 5: I'm a pretty mild guy, very mellow, and I was
- 30:09Speaker 5: I was feeling it. I was getting a little tight anyway,
- 30:12Speaker 5: So Yeah, Steven A. Smith taking shots here at El
- 30:14Speaker 5: Troumpito's and Altis Magnus to forty fifth and forty seventh
- 30:16Speaker 5: president of these United States, El Presidente, and they checked
- 30:20Speaker 5: in with El president And here's what he had to
- 30:22Speaker 5: say about Steven A. Smith in that comment, Comminator, Stephen A. Smith,
- 30:28Speaker 5: we'll talk about running for president.
- 30:30Speaker 10: He said he would blame you if the Knicks moth
- 30:32Speaker 10: the game.
- 30:32Speaker 5: How do you.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Responding about it?
- 30:34Speaker 6: I think he's a nice guy, but you need a
- 30:37Speaker 6: certain aptitude to run for president.
- 30:40Speaker 2: You need a high IQ. I'm not sure that Steven
- 30:42Speaker 2: has said. I don't think he does.
- 30:44Speaker 5: Actually, Oh, I think he's a nice guy, but he
- 30:51Speaker 5: doesn't have a IQ. Classic El Trumpito. But he didn't
- 30:55Speaker 5: get angry, right, He kept us cool, kept it very presidential, right.
- 30:58Speaker 5: That was always the critique Pressesentially he's very presidential now,
- 31:01Speaker 5: so that is true. Stephen A. Smith, I think has
- 31:04Speaker 5: been positioning himself for a run for president and it's
- 31:07Speaker 5: been working, right. I mean, he's doing it better than
- 31:09Speaker 5: most because if he's serious about running for president, he's
- 31:12Speaker 5: doing it right. And if he's not serious and he
- 31:14Speaker 5: just wants that, I'm running for President Cloud. Well then
- 31:17Speaker 5: guess what, he's still doing it right, all right, he's
- 31:20Speaker 5: getting it. He's walking up to the line. Because I'd
- 31:23Speaker 5: say it's probably one of the toughest gigs to run
- 31:25Speaker 5: for president if you're a broadcaster, right, because you have
- 31:29Speaker 5: to get off the air. No more microphone for you.
- 31:31Speaker 5: You're just relying on friendships. After this, you know your
- 31:35Speaker 5: friend's microphone, Well, your microphone pretty much goes away, and
- 31:40Speaker 5: that's because of FCC laws. Now podcast, yeah, you could
- 31:42Speaker 5: still exist there, but even then, you know, you got
- 31:46Speaker 5: to start watching everything you say because they you know
- 31:48Speaker 5: it's your candidate. Now it's a different you're talking. You're
- 31:50Speaker 5: not giving your opinion on things. Now, you're giving your
- 31:52Speaker 5: policy perspective. So it's truly a different world. And that's
- 31:56Speaker 5: something that I think is a difficult transition. Some years ago,
- 32:01Speaker 5: a few New Yorkers had encouraged me to run for
- 32:04Speaker 5: office against a congresswoman. They were very displeased with her name,
- 32:08Speaker 5: Alexandria Ocasia quot Test AOC all out crazy, my least
- 32:12Speaker 5: favorite congresswoman from the Bronx and Queens, and I back
- 32:16Speaker 5: then I said AOC's policies are crazy and Newsweek ran
- 32:20Speaker 5: a headline Rich Valdez says, AOC means a lot crazy,
- 32:24Speaker 5: which was pretty funny, and that's true. I did coin
- 32:26Speaker 5: that term. Then a few days after that, I don't
- 32:31Speaker 5: know if it was maybe six seven years ago, mat
- 32:35Speaker 5: Dell okays so what I did there? And I was
- 32:39Speaker 5: walking in the Puerto Rican Day Parade with my daughter,
- 32:43Speaker 5: who was I don't know, twelve or thirteen maybe or
- 32:45Speaker 5: something like that and maybe fourteen, and my buddy Curtis Sliwa,
- 32:53Speaker 5: he makes a funny comment because I had been calling
- 32:55Speaker 5: out AOC for ignoring my invitations to come on the show.
- 32:59Speaker 5: She was constantly talking about socialism at the time. I
- 33:02Speaker 5: was on the air in New York City and I
- 33:04Speaker 5: wanted to have her on my show to have a
- 33:06Speaker 5: discussion on the merits of socialism versus capitalism, and no response.
- 33:12Speaker 5: So I saw her and she was holding a banner.
- 33:14Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna leave this story for tomorrow, because
- 33:16Speaker 5: really tomorrow the is the ninth, right, Tomorrow's the ninth
- 33:21Speaker 5: of June, and that's actually the anniversary of when that happened.
- 33:26Speaker 5: Has happened on June ninth back and I think twenty nineteen,
- 33:29Speaker 5: so I'll get into that story tomorrow, and I'll leave
- 33:31Speaker 5: you on the hook, but I will get to it
- 33:35Speaker 5: manyana as we celebrate a little that fun, but we
- 33:38Speaker 5: will continue because there's a lot to discuss today, right,
- 33:42Speaker 5: and that was a lot of fun. Now we also
- 33:44Speaker 5: got Hunter Biden coming back into the headlines and they
- 33:47Speaker 5: thought this is a good one. But tonight we have
- 33:51Speaker 5: to get into some of the bigger things because doctors
- 33:54Speaker 5: are now saying that marijuana and THHC has some real
- 33:58Speaker 5: effects on the brain. Besides you high, in particular memory
- 34:03Speaker 5: loss with young users. Some are saying that it could
- 34:09Speaker 5: be worse, prompting certain mental illness. So we'll see what
- 34:14Speaker 5: some doctors are saying and what this latest study is showing,
- 34:17Speaker 5: because it's interesting. It's controversial for sure, And the State
- 34:22Speaker 5: of New York now trying to rewrite how we talk, right,
- 34:25Speaker 5: No more mommy and Poppy, no more maw and pau,
- 34:29Speaker 5: no more mom and dad, mother and father. They want
- 34:33Speaker 5: to turn your parents or us parents into parent and
- 34:38Speaker 5: ges stating parent unbelievable or non gest stating parent. And
- 34:44Speaker 5: they want to do this by state law. This is
- 34:47Speaker 5: what they're worried about, right, This is what the Kathy
- 34:49Speaker 5: hokl Mam Donnie crowd worries about changing our language, changing
- 34:54Speaker 5: the norms of male and female unbelievable. Anyway, I'll give
- 34:58Speaker 5: you some of that and my thoughts on primaries. We
- 35:00Speaker 5: got Graham Platner's big election is tomorrow. We willed this
- 35:04Speaker 5: guy with the Nazi tattoo on his chest that says
- 35:07Speaker 5: the smell of porta potty brings him back to days
- 35:11Speaker 5: where he was having fun with himself in the porta potty.
- 35:15Speaker 5: Wild right, It's unbelievable. This guy's been caught not in one,
- 35:18Speaker 5: but multiple like sexting and sex scandals. I guess that
- 35:22Speaker 5: qualifies him to be the guy right to be the
- 35:25Speaker 5: most people going, Hell, no, I'm not gonna run for office.
- 35:27Speaker 5: I got too many things in my closet. This guy says, Hey,
- 35:29Speaker 5: I got a closet full of crazy. Let me run
- 35:32Speaker 5: for the United States Center. I mean just crazy. What's
- 35:34Speaker 5: going on? Anyway? I got so much more to cover.
- 35:37Speaker 5: We got some comments from Marco Rubio on Iran. The
- 35:40Speaker 5: latest on Iran. This one's shooting at that one, that
- 35:42Speaker 5: one's shooting at this one. There's a lot going on.
- 35:44Speaker 5: They better not get out of hand, because then this
- 35:47Speaker 5: fragile sees fire will fall apart and then we'll be
- 35:49Speaker 5: back in in all out war. So we're gonna get
- 35:51Speaker 5: into that. We're gonna talk a little bit about the
- 35:53Speaker 5: gestating parents, We're gonna talk about the weed and the brain.
- 35:56Speaker 5: We're gonna get to your calls as well after that,
- 35:59Speaker 5: And you know the number, eight seven seven Valdes one,
- 36:02Speaker 5: eight seven seven Valdes one.
- 36:05Speaker 3: This is America, This is America.
- 36:15Speaker 5: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
- 36:19Speaker 5: to speak with Rich Valdez.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Oh, very good.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Than the honor is all yours.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Now here's Rich Valdez.
- 36:36Speaker 4: Lord.
- 36:36Speaker 8: I'm Ashley Stromier, live in New York. Israel's military says
- 36:39Speaker 8: its air force is striking military targets belonging to the
- 36:43Speaker 8: Iranian regime in western and central Iran.
- 36:46Speaker 2: This comes hours.
- 36:47Speaker 8: After Iran launched at least four waves of missiles at Israel.
- 36:52Speaker 8: It's the first time since in early April ceasefire was implemented.
- 36:55Speaker 8: Israel says all missiles were intercepted and is now vowing
- 36:59Speaker 8: to deliver eight powerful response.
- 37:01Speaker 5: So that's the latest. That's going on with Iran, and
- 37:05Speaker 5: again volatile situation, lots going on any moment. Now you
- 37:08Speaker 5: can hear something this one shooting, this, that one shooting that.
- 37:11Speaker 5: It's a lot to keep up with. But it seems
- 37:14Speaker 5: like the Iranians are firing at American bases. Israel is
- 37:18Speaker 5: responding so far, so good. If one of the Americans
- 37:22Speaker 5: gets hit, you know that there's going to be an
- 37:24Speaker 5: escalation from the Trump administration. So keeping an eye on this.
- 37:29Speaker 5: But Secretary Rubio recently weighed in on this, and I
- 37:32Speaker 5: thought what he had to say was really good. Listen
- 37:34Speaker 5: to this. The other hand, Iran likes.
- 37:36Speaker 4: To sponsor proxy groups of terrorists, and these terrorists don't
- 37:40Speaker 4: care what they blow up. They blow up anything in everyone.
- 37:42Speaker 5: Okay, who this is who we're dealing with?
- 37:44Speaker 3: Okay.
- 37:45Speaker 4: This is an Iran that not long ago, through their
- 37:48Speaker 4: husbald of proxies, blew up a Jewish center in Argentina
- 37:52Speaker 4: and killed a bunch of people. This is an Iran
- 37:54Speaker 4: that innovated the use of roadside bombs that killed and
- 37:58Speaker 4: maimed a bunch of people, including a Maria conservesmen, but
- 38:00Speaker 4: a bunch of other people. This is in Iran that
- 38:02Speaker 4: has organized the assassinations and the attempted assassinations of people
- 38:06Speaker 4: all over the world, including you know, civilians and dissidents
- 38:09Speaker 4: and people that don't agree with There is no nation
- 38:12Speaker 4: on Earth that sponsors more terrorism than Iran, and they've
- 38:15Speaker 4: spent they've spent millions and millions of dollars sponsoring terrorism
- 38:19Speaker 4: and targeting individuals all over the world, and including civilians
- 38:23Speaker 4: have been caught up in that.
- 38:24Speaker 5: Okay, that's what Iran has done.
- 38:26Speaker 4: They they'd spend their millions of millions on building roads
- 38:28Speaker 4: and bridges and improving the life of their people. That's
- 38:30Speaker 4: why their people are always in the street protesting because
- 38:33Speaker 4: their economy has been in shamples because they don't invest
- 38:36Speaker 4: in their economy. They would rather invest in Heskolo, they
- 38:38Speaker 4: would rather invest in the rapists and the murderers of Hamas.
- 38:42Speaker 4: They would rather invest in those groups than they do
- 38:44Speaker 4: in their own people. That's what Iran invests in. And
- 38:47Speaker 4: that's what the world.
- 38:47Speaker 5: That's what you should be asking me about.
- 38:49Speaker 4: That's what the BBC should be covering, and that's what
- 38:51Speaker 4: these other media altums should be covering, is how evil
- 38:54Speaker 4: these people are in Iran and the damage they've done
- 38:57Speaker 4: to people all over the world. The world's leading sponsor
- 39:00Speaker 4: of terrorism is Iran. And look what they're doing now.
- 39:04Speaker 4: They are holding hostage civilian vestments, including ships that have
- 39:09Speaker 4: now been stuck in the Persian go They've laid mines
- 39:12Speaker 4: in an international waterway. And yet despite all of that,
- 39:15Speaker 4: the United States remains committed to finding a peaceful, a
- 39:18Speaker 4: diplomatic solution to this crisis. But let's be see who
- 39:21Speaker 4: we're talking about here. We're not talking about some pacifist
- 39:25Speaker 4: government over there, some pacifist regime. We're talking about one
- 39:28Speaker 4: of the most vicious regimes on the face of the
- 39:30Speaker 4: earth and in modern history.
- 39:32Speaker 5: That's what we're dealing with.
- 39:33Speaker 4: And we were going to take away their missiles, we
- 39:35Speaker 4: were going to take away their ability to make new ones,
- 39:37Speaker 4: and we were going to wipe out their navy.
- 39:39Speaker 5: Imagine that they had a real navy, But what they
- 39:40Speaker 5: have now is a bunch of.
- 39:41Speaker 4: Small little speedboats that can lay mines and harassed vessels.
- 39:45Speaker 3: But they used to have a navy.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Now that navy resides at the bottom of the ocean.
- 39:49Speaker 4: And that was the objective of Epic Fury.
- 39:51Speaker 5: That's Marco Rubio telling it like it is. I'm one
- 39:53Speaker 5: hundred percent with Secretary of Rubio on this. I think
- 39:55Speaker 5: he's right. These people will not stop right. This is
- 39:58Speaker 5: not a traditional gum. This is the Islamic Republic of Iran,
- 40:03Speaker 5: the IRGC they took over after the Shah. And this
- 40:07Speaker 5: is a theocracy. It's one of, you know, one of
- 40:11Speaker 5: the most vicious theocracies that are out there. They exist
- 40:14Speaker 5: for that one purpose, to advance their radical religious agenda.
- 40:17Speaker 5: That's wild not something I can get behind. Now, they
- 40:20Speaker 5: also weighed in, right, the Islamics with their own rhetoric.
- 40:24Speaker 5: Listen to this. Now, this is said ka Tips that day.
- 40:28Speaker 5: He is the deputy Foreign Minister, so he works for
- 40:33Speaker 5: Foreign Minister Aragshi, and he was mocking President Trump over
- 40:36Speaker 5: his remark suggesting the United States could influence the selection
- 40:41Speaker 5: of this that and the third.
- 40:42Speaker 11: Listen to this said, and Trump is asking for change
- 40:47Speaker 11: in the leadership of Iran, and he says that I
- 40:49Speaker 11: have to have voice on that. Why he cannot appoint
- 40:52Speaker 11: even the mayor of New York.
- 41:00Speaker 5: Now, let me just say, nobody gets it right. Nobody
- 41:04Speaker 5: even starts clapping. He looks around, he kind of gives
- 41:07Speaker 5: them the ice grill, and then they start like you
- 41:09Speaker 5: know the train seals they start, they're clapping. I mean,
- 41:13Speaker 5: this is ridiculous the stuff that he's talking about. That
- 41:16Speaker 5: President Trump can't appoint the mayor of New York. We
- 41:18Speaker 5: all know that they elect the mayor of New York.
- 41:20Speaker 5: That's why we have the more and we do. Unbelievable.
- 41:25Speaker 11: Can you imagine this colonial? This colonial approach.
- 41:29Speaker 5: This colonial, this colonial approach, that.
- 41:33Speaker 11: He would like to see democracy at home, but he
- 41:35Speaker 11: would like to tapple down the democracy elected president of
- 41:38Speaker 11: Iran and assassinating other countries. So this is the past
- 41:42Speaker 11: that they are going and this is the heroic in
- 41:44Speaker 11: all resistance that we are doing.
- 41:46Speaker 5: And the other past is inclusion heroic resistance. Ain't that
- 41:53Speaker 5: something heroic resistance? They're bombing military bases in the Middle East,
- 42:02Speaker 5: in their neighbors countries. They are attacking their other neighbor, Iran.
- 42:07Speaker 5: They've been doing this forever when they were too busy
- 42:10Speaker 5: hijacking American planes, Right, That's what they were doing when
- 42:12Speaker 5: I was a little kid. So this is what they're
- 42:15Speaker 5: out there doing. They're going on every show they can,
- 42:17Speaker 5: getting as much press as they can. This is what
- 42:19Speaker 5: the propaganda side of the world looks like, right, again,
- 42:22Speaker 5: very similar to what we see locally. It's all the same.
- 42:25Speaker 5: One man's hey, you're snubbing the Puerto Ricans who work
- 42:28Speaker 5: hard to put the parade together and breaking forty years
- 42:30Speaker 5: of tradition. Is the other man's, We're just trying to
- 42:34Speaker 5: get out there with the people, and we shouldn't have
- 42:36Speaker 5: these fancy VIP things, right. One man's hey, I was
- 42:39Speaker 5: invited by the owner of the Knicks to watch the game,
- 42:42Speaker 5: and Trumpito is or on Mumdani's I bought up ticket
- 42:45Speaker 5: for a thousand bucks on stub Hub, Right, did he really?
- 42:49Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 42:50Speaker 5: Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
- 42:51Speaker 6: I know.
- 42:51Speaker 5: I looked at the tickets on stub Hub, and the
- 42:53Speaker 5: cheapest one I saw was, excuse me at a coqia
- 42:58Speaker 5: my throat, forty five hundred dollars. Forty five hundred dollars.
- 43:02Speaker 5: That's wild. Everybody else is paying nine grand. So I
- 43:06Speaker 5: don't know how much I could buy this stuff. I
- 43:08Speaker 5: really don't, but I got a little bit more to go.
- 43:12Speaker 5: And truly, that is how propaganda works, right. Just for example, lately,
- 43:16Speaker 5: there's been a lot of talk about this is Israel's
- 43:18Speaker 5: war f the Jews, a rah rah rah Rah right.
- 43:22Speaker 5: But in reality, I mean, Israel is the size of
- 43:24Speaker 5: New Jersey and we give them money. So I mean,
- 43:28Speaker 5: if they were in charge, shouldn't they be giving us
- 43:30Speaker 5: money to do their dirty work? Precisely? So, I mean,
- 43:34Speaker 5: none of it adds up. None of it adds up.
- 43:36Speaker 5: But this is the story they like to have, and
- 43:39Speaker 5: Axeos put out a report. Fox News reacted to it,
- 43:42Speaker 5: and I've got a clip of it, and I think
- 43:43Speaker 5: it's pretty interesting. I want you to listen to this.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Port's the call between Trump and Net and Yahoo was tense,
- 43:48Speaker 1: saying in a piece posted yesterday quote summarizing Trump's remarks
- 43:52Speaker 1: to Net and Yahoo, the US official said, you're effing crazy.
- 43:55Speaker 5: You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm
- 43:57Speaker 5: saving your a. That's president.
- 44:00Speaker 1: To bb Net and Yahoo, everybody hates you now everybody
- 44:03Speaker 1: hates Israel because of this. A second source brief on
- 44:06Speaker 1: the call said Trump was pissed and at one point
- 44:08Speaker 1: yelled at Net and Yahoo, what the f are you doing.
- 44:12Speaker 5: Now. Trump was interviewed about this, and he said, yeah,
- 44:16Speaker 5: it was. It was a little tense. We had the call. Yes,
- 44:18Speaker 5: I raised my boys that you know it. Sometimes you
- 44:21Speaker 5: gotta do it. But that they good people. They good people.
- 44:25Speaker 5: I can't help but laugh at Trumpto. That is just
- 44:28Speaker 5: how he rolls, right, He's always rolled like the go, hey,
- 44:30Speaker 5: President Trump, when do you expect this, that and the other? Well,
- 44:33Speaker 5: you know, we're expecting it to happen in a short
- 44:35Speaker 5: time before too long. He's learned to say things that
- 44:41Speaker 5: they're talking away. But you just can't pin him down.
- 44:43Speaker 5: They say he's a businessman, not a politician. Come on,
- 44:46Speaker 5: this guy's one of the best politicians out there. He
- 44:49Speaker 5: has in the ten years, the entire decade that he's
- 44:52Speaker 5: been a politician. He's definitely doing his thing now speaking
- 44:55Speaker 5: to politicians. I got a crazy one for you. This
- 44:58Speaker 5: is a crazy one with what's this man's name. His
- 45:03Speaker 5: name is Hamawi. So one of the guys from the
- 45:09Speaker 5: nineteen ninety three World Trade Center bombing. This guy was
- 45:13Speaker 5: a character witness for Rahman, the guy that was arrested
- 45:20Speaker 5: for plotting the whole thing. Right, they called him the
- 45:22Speaker 5: blind chic and this guy Abdel Rahman. I think I'm
- 45:26Speaker 5: saying that right. He had people in his defense. One
- 45:29Speaker 5: of those guys that defended him is this guy named
- 45:33Speaker 5: Hamawi Now Hamawi just ran for Congress in the district
- 45:39Speaker 5: where Todd Biemer is buried. Now who's Beamer? Well Beemer
- 45:43Speaker 5: is that guy that gathered the Americans on that plane
- 45:46Speaker 5: Flight ninety three that went down in Pennsylvania and said
- 45:50Speaker 5: let's roll and he bashed the thing into the terrorists
- 45:53Speaker 5: until that plane went down. As the story goes, well,
- 45:56Speaker 5: that a guy from that district is now running and
- 45:59Speaker 5: that same guy happens to be the character witness for
- 46:01Speaker 5: the Blind Shake. Listen to this from this Max, or
- 46:04Speaker 5: maybe don't listen to it.
- 46:05Speaker 10: Two Here in New Jersey, the state's capital city, is
- 46:09Speaker 10: about to be represented in the US Congress by Adam Palmawe,
- 46:13Speaker 10: a man who once testified in defense of terrorist Omar
- 46:18Speaker 10: abdel Rockman, better known as the Blind Shake, convicted in
- 46:22Speaker 10: nineteen ninety five for seditious conspiracy against the United States
- 46:27Speaker 10: and inciting the nineteen ninety three bombing of the World
- 46:31Speaker 10: Trade Center.
- 46:32Speaker 2: I didn't know nothing about his past.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I had no idea that you know of that situation.
- 46:38Speaker 10: Did you know about his past?
- 46:40Speaker 6: No?
- 46:41Speaker 3: And unfortunately, coming up in these type of environments, we
- 46:44Speaker 3: don't know anything about our congressman and our congressional leaders
- 46:48Speaker 3: and stuff like that.
- 46:49Speaker 5: What does that mean coming up? He's in trent I
- 46:52Speaker 5: worked in Trenton for every for years, and I want
- 46:55Speaker 5: to know, why is it that when you come up
- 46:57Speaker 5: in this environment, we don't know anything?
- 46:59Speaker 12: Now?
- 46:59Speaker 5: I think I get what he's saying, right, I think
- 47:00Speaker 5: he's saying, we're so caught up trying to make a
- 47:02Speaker 5: living that we don't have time for that. And guess
- 47:04Speaker 5: what that is? Exactly why I do this show. I
- 47:06Speaker 5: try to condense as much news as I can. I
- 47:09Speaker 5: give you some commentary. I don't want to dash itself
- 47:10Speaker 5: free throw a little bit of comedy, right, not that
- 47:12Speaker 5: I'm a comedian, but I try to make it humorous
- 47:14Speaker 5: and palatable so that you know you can listen to this,
- 47:17Speaker 5: maybe even on two time speed if you're listening to
- 47:19Speaker 5: the podcast and say, oh wow, I didn't know that,
- 47:21Speaker 5: but now I know that now. And that's why people
- 47:23Speaker 5: like to listen to me before they go to sleep.
- 47:25Speaker 5: You know, I help put them to sleep a little bit.
- 47:27Speaker 5: Some people I keep them up at night with all
- 47:29Speaker 5: the crazy that's going on. But either way, I don't
- 47:31Speaker 5: care if you get your news from me or from
- 47:32Speaker 5: somewhere else but make sure you're getting the news and
- 47:34Speaker 5: hopefully you're getting both sides of it right, because if
- 47:36Speaker 5: you're just getting MSNBC or CNN, they all they they right,
- 47:40Speaker 5: you're screwed. Why because you're not getting the facts right
- 47:43Speaker 5: at least here. I always play you with my opponents,
- 47:46Speaker 5: with the people that I am taking the other side on.
- 47:50Speaker 5: I always give you what they said, and then I
- 47:52Speaker 5: give you my reaction to what they said, so that
- 47:54Speaker 5: you're getting both sides. Because half the time I'll invite
- 47:58Speaker 5: them on the show and they won't come. I don't
- 48:00Speaker 5: mind having a frank conversation. You'll see. I'm one of
- 48:03Speaker 5: the few people out there I love responding to comments
- 48:05Speaker 5: from people that are disagreeing with me. I don't always
- 48:08Speaker 5: have the time for it, but whenever I can, I
- 48:11Speaker 5: do right anyway. So they're doing this man on the
- 48:15Speaker 5: Street interview in Trenton, New Jersey. He looks like they're
- 48:17Speaker 5: on State Street interviewing people walking behind her, like, did
- 48:20Speaker 5: you know that this guy was, you know, a character
- 48:23Speaker 5: witness for the conspirator of the nineteen ninety three World
- 48:27Speaker 5: Trade Center bombing. And everybody's like, no, no way, damn,
- 48:30Speaker 5: I don't know shoot.
- 48:33Speaker 7: I'm not aware of him.
- 48:35Speaker 5: I don't know about his background or anything.
- 48:37Speaker 2: I don't have any idea who you're talking about.
- 48:39Speaker 5: I don't pay attention to that stuff.
- 48:42Speaker 10: Well, he's very likely going to be your next cop.
- 48:46Speaker 5: This is so funny. He's talking to an old man here,
- 48:48Speaker 5: an old man with white hair, wearing a golf shirt
- 48:51Speaker 5: that says Congressional on it. He has no idea, but
- 48:55Speaker 5: he's got the congressional shirt on. Hey, oh forget about it.
- 48:59Speaker 10: Congressman, represent you in Congress. And he also interned in
- 49:04Speaker 10: Bosnia for an organization that ended up being raided by
- 49:07Speaker 10: the US government, and the US government claimed that they
- 49:10Speaker 10: were in a front for al Qaeda.
- 49:11Speaker 13: Well, I'm not aware of that, and I would have
- 49:15Speaker 13: to investigate more.
- 49:17Speaker 5: They should let the pope you show more about his baground.
- 49:20Speaker 2: He probably had no idea who this guy was dealing with.
- 49:24Speaker 5: If he's a terrorist, I think everybody deserves a second chance.
- 49:29Speaker 5: Oh my goodness. Speaking of the second chance, I got
- 49:32Speaker 5: a video that I'm gonna have to give you my
- 49:33Speaker 5: reaction on because this lady I'm gonna let her finish.
- 49:36Speaker 5: But man, there was this one lady who was talking
- 49:39Speaker 5: about second chances for people that were killing people. Anyway,
- 49:42Speaker 5: Listen to this, I got a pass.
- 49:44Speaker 10: I don't know you, but I would assume you don't
- 49:46Speaker 10: have a past where you were close with a convicted
- 49:48Speaker 10: terrorist who inspired the nineteen ninety three World Trade Center bom.
- 49:53Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, absolutely not right.
- 49:57Speaker 5: It's one thing to make a mistake, right, you know,
- 50:00Speaker 5: you didn't pay a parking ticket, you got a suspension,
- 50:02Speaker 5: you got locked up, next thing. Yeah, all sorts of
- 50:04Speaker 5: things can happen. It's another thing to be in bed
- 50:08Speaker 5: with the terrorists who wanted to blow up the World
- 50:09Speaker 5: Trade Center and actually did right, didn't bring it down,
- 50:11Speaker 5: but they blew it up for sure. That's a little
- 50:15Speaker 5: bit much, A little bit much. Ah oh boy, I
- 50:24Speaker 5: love this job anyway, a little bit much. But guess
- 50:28Speaker 5: what we've got here. We've got President Trump. El Trompito
- 50:33Speaker 5: Dinalodis Magnus, the forty fifth and forty seventh President of
- 50:35Speaker 5: the United States, responding to a question from a reporter
- 50:39Speaker 5: about something else. That's a little bit much. What's that
- 50:43Speaker 5: the son of the former President Hunter Biden running for
- 50:48Speaker 5: president himself. Listen to this.
- 50:51Speaker 12: He's on social media now and he has suggested, maybe joking,
- 50:55Speaker 12: I don't know that he could run for president in
- 50:58Speaker 12: twenty twenty eight. How would he do Hunter Biden.
- 51:02Speaker 3: Eight Democratic?
- 51:03Speaker 6: Well, you would think that, you know, pass has something
- 51:05Speaker 6: to do with winning an election, and I would say
- 51:07Speaker 6: his past is not the greatest.
- 51:09Speaker 3: Where's Hunter?
- 51:10Speaker 2: Remember my Where's Hunter?
- 51:12Speaker 5: I do remember that, sir, and I remember the New
- 51:14Speaker 5: York Post doing a story on Hunter Biden. I tweeted
- 51:19Speaker 5: Where's Hunter? And President Trump retweeted me that was a
- 51:24Speaker 5: lot of fun. That was probably about six years ago
- 51:27Speaker 5: and before the twenty twenty election. And I do remember that.
- 51:31Speaker 5: All right, play the tape became the.
- 51:33Speaker 6: Number one shirt anywhere in the world for about three weeks.
- 51:39Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say, man, I'm.
- 51:41Speaker 6: Sure you know, hey, if the guy from Maine can
- 51:44Speaker 6: do well, I guess Hunter could do well too, because
- 51:47Speaker 6: the guy from Maine is a basket case. And I
- 51:50Speaker 6: would say worse than him is the one from Texas
- 51:53Speaker 6: that looks like alfredy Newman.
- 51:55Speaker 2: I would say that if he can do well, maybe
- 51:58Speaker 2: Hunter can do well.
- 52:00Speaker 6: Sure, it'll be pretty close this.
- 52:01Speaker 5: Far, it'll be pretty close. As far as that's great, Well,
- 52:04Speaker 5: that's a trumpedo winging on this now, the guy from
- 52:07Speaker 5: Maine is Graham Platner, Right, that's the guy who I
- 52:11Speaker 5: was alluding to a little bit earlier that is having
- 52:14Speaker 5: his primary election tomorrow. Graham Plattner is the guy with
- 52:18Speaker 5: the Nazi tattoo on his chest that has written things like,
- 52:22Speaker 5: you know, and whenever I get into a porta potty,
- 52:24Speaker 5: that smell of that blue liquid gives me the urge
- 52:27Speaker 5: to pleasure myself because I did a lot of that
- 52:30Speaker 5: when I was in the military, and just lots of
- 52:33Speaker 5: you know, sordid things that you know, Gotti, Right, that's
- 52:38Speaker 5: the best way to put it. The guy's being fresh,
- 52:40Speaker 5: and he's not ashamed to be one, and you're allowed
- 52:43Speaker 5: to be that, right, there's nothing wrong with that. I
- 52:44Speaker 5: think we can all be a little Gottifriko at times.
- 52:47Speaker 5: The question is do you do it at work?
- 52:49Speaker 2: Right?
- 52:49Speaker 5: Do you become Senator Gottifrico reporting for duty? You know,
- 52:53Speaker 5: that's how you get in trouble, right, That's how how
- 52:56Speaker 5: bad things happen. So I think that that is not
- 52:59Speaker 5: the way to go. But I don't think what I
- 53:02Speaker 5: say has anything to do with what's going to happen.
- 53:04Speaker 5: I think Senator Katti Freco is gonna take it tomorrow
- 53:07Speaker 5: and we'll see if I'm right or wrong. Now, the
- 53:10Speaker 5: one in Texas refers to Tall Rico. Tall Rico is
- 53:15Speaker 5: the one that's running for the United States Senate in
- 53:18Speaker 5: Texas and the one that President Trump said looks like
- 53:22Speaker 5: Alfred E. Newman from Mad magazine. Now, this Tall Rico guy,
- 53:26Speaker 5: he's a smooth talker. I say he is the he
- 53:29Speaker 5: claims to be a Christian. I call him the Christian
- 53:30Speaker 5: Mumdani right, because he's just like Zora Mumdan. He's always smiling,
- 53:35Speaker 5: a little hand on his heart gesture. Everything is positive.
- 53:38Speaker 5: It's always he's always talking about Jesus in the most
- 53:42Speaker 5: radical socialist terms. It's wild. But here he is talking
- 53:46Speaker 5: about I think abortion and whatnot.
- 53:50Speaker 13: Listen to this trust Texas women to make decisions about
- 53:53Speaker 13: their own bodies, to shape their own destinies in consultation
- 53:57Speaker 13: with their family members, their doctors, their faith leaders. I
- 54:02Speaker 13: don't believe that's a place for government. I don't believe
- 54:05Speaker 13: it's a place for politicians. That don't believe it's a
- 54:07Speaker 13: place for the state. And that is that's a belief
- 54:11Speaker 13: I hold not despite my faith, but because of my faith.
- 54:18Speaker 13: Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion.
- 54:23Speaker 5: All right, this is tell Rico. Listen, I'm not going
- 54:25Speaker 5: to get into a protracted debate on this. I'm just
- 54:27Speaker 5: going to say the primary opposition to abortion are Christians, Catholics, Evangelicals,
- 54:37Speaker 5: and it's because of their faith, in particular the first commandment,
- 54:42Speaker 5: now shalt not killed, because they view it as that.
- 54:45Speaker 5: They go even deeper into other verses that talk about
- 54:48Speaker 5: that you were formed in the womb, that God, our creator,
- 54:51Speaker 5: knows everything, even the hairs on our head. So clearly
- 54:54Speaker 5: God creates the embryo, God creates the feet, as God
- 54:57Speaker 5: creates the baby that's growing in you, and it's a
- 54:59Speaker 5: life from conception. And this has even been proven his
- 55:02Speaker 5: law in many states. So, mister tall Rico clearly throwing
- 55:06Speaker 5: a bomb here, right. He knows what he's saying is
- 55:08Speaker 5: gonna anger people. It's gonna get people, you know, all
- 55:10Speaker 5: raw ron so he can get more attention, and then
- 55:12Speaker 5: he could turn around and say they're attacking me, the
- 55:15Speaker 5: right wing is coming after me, send me twenty dollars
- 55:17Speaker 5: for my campaign. That's the way this game is played.
- 55:19Speaker 5: I get it. Does that work in Texas. I don't
- 55:21Speaker 5: think it's gonna fly in Texas at all, But like
- 55:24Speaker 5: President Trump, we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens.
- 55:27Speaker 5: All right, keep it locked right here. We're gonna talk
- 55:29Speaker 5: a little bit about weed. The latest report on what
- 55:31Speaker 5: it does to your brain. Is it just funning games
- 55:34Speaker 5: or is it something worse? Plus, your calls open phone
- 55:37Speaker 5: in America is coming up right now, eight seven seven
- 55:39Speaker 5: Valdes one.
- 55:41Speaker 3: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
- 55:55Speaker 3: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 55:59Speaker 5: All right for me the welcome back. We're talking about
- 56:01Speaker 5: marijuana right now, right, I want you to listen to
- 56:05Speaker 5: this report that I've got from the AIM in medical Clinics.
- 56:09Speaker 5: This one's a doozy. Check this one out. Marijuana is
- 56:16Speaker 5: bad for the brain.
- 56:19Speaker 11: I published a suddenly.
- 56:20Speaker 12: In this study, the researcher had over twelve hundred people
- 56:24Speaker 12: participate in.
- 56:25Speaker 5: A clinical trial.
- 56:26Speaker 12: In the clinical trial, it showed that all twelve hundred
- 56:28Speaker 12: participants brain activity decreased, especially in the hypocampus, which is
- 56:33Speaker 12: where your memory is. So imagine being a student trying
- 56:35Speaker 12: to remember things and you impaired. So this is what
- 56:38Speaker 12: we call the dog chasing his tail. You're taking a
- 56:41Speaker 12: substance that impairs you. It retards your ability as a
- 56:44Speaker 12: young person to progress intellectually because your brain's being diminished
- 56:48Speaker 12: and your prefunal cortex is not developed. So you're going
- 56:51Speaker 12: to steal encounter stress, school performance, finances, expectations, and you
- 56:56Speaker 12: have a lesser ability to handle those expectations right, and
- 57:00Speaker 12: that stress that's when anxiety kicks in. That means that
- 57:03Speaker 12: you don't have an intellectual skill set to deal with
- 57:05Speaker 12: the stresses that you have in life, and that anxiety
- 57:09Speaker 12: can lead to panic, psychosis and full schizophrenia.
- 57:13Speaker 5: Full schizophrenia. Now, this is a study that they're talking
- 57:17Speaker 5: about that was recently published. Now, this study followed twelve
- 57:21Speaker 5: hundred patients and it was conducted by the Institute for
- 57:26Speaker 5: Psychiatry and Psychology and Neuroscience at the King's College of
- 57:32Speaker 5: London in Europe. And what they found a couple of
- 57:36Speaker 5: the things that you know, big takeaways here That they
- 57:39Speaker 5: found an earlier onset of schizophrenia about ten years earlier
- 57:44Speaker 5: in people that use cannabis before the age of eighteen,
- 57:48Speaker 5: increased vulnerability in youth for schizophrenia later in life, an
- 57:54Speaker 5: exacerbation of those symptoms because of continuous THHC use, which
- 58:00Speaker 5: according to the study disrupts but it disrupts something according
- 58:06Speaker 5: to this and etcetera, etcetera. Goes on it said, it's
- 58:10Speaker 5: a big thing you probably read on your own time,
- 58:11Speaker 5: but I want to get your thoughts right. We got
- 58:13Speaker 5: a couple of minutes left. I want to get some
- 58:14Speaker 5: of the phone calls open phone in America where you
- 58:16Speaker 5: get to weigh in on this stuff. I'm want to
- 58:18Speaker 5: go to Saratoga, New York, and let's hear from our guy, Liam.
- 58:22Speaker 5: Go right ahead, Liam, you're on with Rich Valdez. Welcome.
- 58:25Speaker 7: I want to discuss the saliva test for the THHD
- 58:29Speaker 7: and whatnot. Okay, I worked at a job for the
- 58:32Speaker 7: past two years. They hired me with saying that THC
- 58:35Speaker 7: is not against their policy, and I took a drug
- 58:40Speaker 7: test to get hired from the job, came back positive THD.
- 58:44Speaker 7: They allowed me to work. I was working there for
- 58:46Speaker 7: the last two years and they just drug tested me
- 58:49Speaker 7: the other week and then they fired me for failed
- 58:51Speaker 7: THC test.
- 58:53Speaker 5: Sorry about that.
- 58:54Speaker 7: It was the saliva test they did, and that was
- 58:58Speaker 7: your argument that you art up in your video on Instagram, right,
- 59:03Speaker 7: was exactly what I brought up to them, how they
- 59:06Speaker 7: can stay up to your body in your body for
- 59:08Speaker 7: up to forty eight hours and all that, and they
- 59:10Speaker 7: just did not care about the science behind it, and like,
- 59:13Speaker 7: people will lose their jobs because of the stupid shit
- 59:16Speaker 7: and it's insane and it needs to be talked about.
- 59:19Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, I agree with you. I think we need
- 59:22Speaker 5: to bring all of these issues to light, not just
- 59:24Speaker 5: because people are losing their jobs. My particular angle on
- 59:27Speaker 5: this was how do we protect our liberty right, which
- 59:31Speaker 5: kind of like with the COVID exam, people were forced
- 59:33Speaker 5: to take a vaccine. These are issues that led to
- 59:36Speaker 5: people losing their jobs. To me, that's a secondary side
- 59:39Speaker 5: effect of people coming after your liberty. I'm sorry about
- 59:43Speaker 5: your job. I appreciate the call, and you know, ultimately,
- 59:46Speaker 5: this is why I think we need to be informed citizens.
- 59:49Speaker 5: I always on this program, I always, you know, I
- 59:51Speaker 5: share a few quotes before we wrap up the show.
- 59:53Speaker 5: I always say, you know, the only thing necessary for
- 59:57Speaker 5: evil to triumph is for good people to sit there
- 59:59Speaker 5: and nothing right. And I think that was Lord Acton
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: that said that, And the other one is if you
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: stand for nothing you'll fall for anything. We have to
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: stand up when it's time, right. I don't mean to
- 1:00:10Speaker 5: do things illegally. I mean, you know, call the pop Bros. Lawyers,
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: call whoever you need to call. But you got to
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: fight these things because these encroachments on our liberty. We
- 1:00:19Speaker 5: don't get the liberty back, right, we have to fight
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: for it. Ronald Reagan said that we're never more than
- 1:00:24Speaker 5: one generation away from losing that liberty. And it's something precious.
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: It's not something that's passed down in the bloodstream. It's
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: something we have to fight for. So God speak to you, Leah.
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: I appreciate it, and he goes a stall. Approxima, take care,
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: good night, and God bless you America. I'm much Valdez,
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: and this is America.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: This is America.
