  Speaker 4: a big speech at that incredible America two fifty Freedom
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: two fifty event. It was really quite the thing, right.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: It was a powerhouse speech on the National Mall for
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday of America. I was
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: in excuse me, I was in town for the events
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: in Washington, DC. And the fireworks were beautiful, lighting up
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: the sky like you kind of like Tawn's early line, right,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you know, the bombs bursting in the air. It was really, really,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: really reminiscent of the Francis Scott Key lyrics in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Star Spangled Banner. Big thanks to my guy Tony Delgado
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: from Latino Wall Street and ce PAC Puerto Rico for
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: hosting the event at the Pierce School, which is a
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: big loft mansion with an incredible rooftop view. That was great.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: It's owned by the founder of the Bitcoin Foundation, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: it was almost like the whole city was celebrating together,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: right because everywhere you looked there was just fireworks, more firework,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: a couple of rain drops, but all overall, all in all,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: fantastic time. Now, speaking of celebrations, you know, I spent
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: some of the weekend because I had some days off.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: I was down at the Jersey Shore too perfect beach weather,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: maybe a little bit too hot, but long Branch and seaside.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: There was a lot of sharks down there by the way.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: I linked up with some of my old friends from
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Hudson County days and we had a good time. You know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: we had a little cooler, we had a speaker, some medanga,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: some music. It was really just a great time until
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: this big storm kicked in. Sand was flying all over
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: the place and a lot of flooding afterwards. Thankfully we
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: made it home in time. But it was quite an adventure.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: So Independence Day, hell yeah, miracle. It was a really
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: good time. And did you hear about the Macy's fireworks.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: The Macy's fire works there was their first time doing
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: something off of the Brooklyn Bridge, and well, let's just
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: say things got a little bit wild over there. Because
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: we listen to this, it breaks it down perfectly at.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This own disclosed location.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: We find dozens of pyrotechnicians behind me working on the
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: fourth of July Macy's Fireworks show. There are handwiring projectiles,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: eighty five thousand of them that will be loaded onto
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: at least six barges which will be part of the fireworks,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: laser and.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Musical show come Saturday night.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Now, why this one is huge.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: It's two hundred and fifty years anniversary for the United States,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: and it will be expanded, it will have more communities
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: to get a chance to see. The viewing areas for
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: this event, both on the Hudson River and on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: East River as far as the Hudson River Jersey City
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: free viewing locations, whereas the City of New York is
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: distributing one hundred thousand free tickets for folks to register
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: through a lottery which is now open. This is all
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: part of a huge celebration which you can and watch
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: on Saturday night starting at eight through NBC Peacock and
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Telemundo Enjoy America two hundred and fiftyth Independence.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: So that was a report from NBC News and from Telemundo.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And what's interesting here is that they'd not done this
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: type of pyrotech Take two, Take three security. They hadn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: done this type of pyrotechnics from the Brooklyn Bridge before,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and listen to this. The coordinator gave an interview saying,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: this is the first time that they're going to be
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: doing this type of pyrotechnic stuff over the Brooklyn Bridge.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: And things got a little too lit, indeed, with a
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: fire breaking out, multiple fires breaking out. While they did
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: have a contingency plan in place and things were, you know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: in place to put out these fires, they did happen right,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: So it was beautiful fireworks, and all of a sudden
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the actual Brooklyn Bridge was on fire, which was pretty wild.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Definitely a two lit in my opinion. Anyway, I want
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: to go back right, it wouldn't be a New York
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: thing if it wasn't a little something like that little surprise. Now,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: before I get into the World Cup and all that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I want to play a quick clip from President Trump,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: who gave I thought a fantastic speech on the fourth
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: of July at the Freedom to fifty event. Listen to this.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Americans must never forget that we are a historic and
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: heroic people with a heroic spirit and a heroic purpose.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: On this beautiful earth of ours. We are made the
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: courage and the fire, and the flesh and the blood
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: of the best and the bravest people this world has
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: ever produced. We are the bravest and the best.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Tonight we pledge allegiance to the flag they gave us,
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: and we say God bless the immortal patriots of seventeen
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: seventy six, and long live the cause of independence.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Amen, America, May it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Rain forever and ever and ever. We will always be
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: on top. We will never let our country fall. We
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: will always be the best. Our founders not only won
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: our liberty, they secured it with the most righteous political
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: document ever conceived.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: It's called the Constitution of the United States. Very special,
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: and it's because of their genius that we remain the
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: finest people on the planet after two hundred and fifty years.
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: Unlike so many others in the world, in this country,
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: we have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal justice
• 6:35
  Speaker 8: under the law, although I wasn't treated that well, but
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: we won't get into that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: And the right to keep and bear arms.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Outstanding. Again. That's President Trump at the Freedom to fifty
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: America to fifty event at the National Mall, and really
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: remarkable the fireworks best I've ever seen anyway. I want
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to get into the World Cup. I want to get
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: into to the Red Car drama. Sadly, Team USA lost
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: to Belgium, but we fought hard and maybe we'll get
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: them next time. Later in the show, we're gonna dive
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: into some of these daredevils that climb the Empire State Building.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Plus the I can't speak today. I'm getting back in
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the groove of things here. CNN has some new data
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: showing democrats are less likely to love America. We'll unpack
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that one for you. I got some audio on that,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: plus the latest on what we can expect from President
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Trump's latest trip abroad. That's coming up, some political analysis
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: from me, because of course, you know, we got to
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: talk about that. That's always a big thing. But I
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: want to get into some of these other topics and
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: we'll do that on the other side. So keep it
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: locked right here. There's so much more to come. Straight ahead,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: don't go anywhere. I'm Richaldees, this is America, this is
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: a Maria.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: He's brown, he's bald, and he's breaking it down.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Oh he's still has some what's his dad? Rich Beldas.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: Loyal to Karl Marx or you can be loyal to America.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: You cannot be.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Both, As were those who pedal Marxist lies about our heritage,
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: tell our children that we live on stolen land, or
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: that our heroes were oppressors. They're doing something much worse
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Not going to let that happen.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: They're trying to tear down the great American character, to
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: destroy the people who declared independence, who cross the Delaware,
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: who settle the West and conquered the Sguise. You know
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: who those people are. But we will ever let that happen.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Our American ancestors did not shed their blood at Concord
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: and Trenton, Gettysburg and Shiloh, Midway and Normandy just so
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: that a band of thieves, radicals, that lunatics could come
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: in and loot, pillage our nation. Our heroes died to win,
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: build and to save, and to build truly a great country,
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: the greatest country ever in the world.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: So that's the President Trump at the Freedom to fifty
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: anniversary of the two hundred and fiftieth year of America
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: and couldn't have put it any better myself. Right, Marxists
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: are destroying America, I should say, at least what they
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: believe in is antithetical to what the founders believed in,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: and therefore the outcomes of these policies, beliefs, and actions
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: destroy the fabric of America as we know it. This,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: sadly is their goal. This is what they do, This
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: is what they want because they don't agree with the
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: America we have everything. President Trump just said that, you know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: these heroes that fought the British crown to make America
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: people that have stepped up during you know, back when
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: we got into meddling in foreign wars, right, remember that
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: whole war that we had nothing to do with in
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: World War One? Yeah, we got into it and we
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: helped liberate people. This is kind of what America has
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: always been and what America does, and it's part of
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: our DNA. And the leftists don't like that. They don't
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: like the industrial revolution, they don't like the fact that
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: we have a robust free market system. They want the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: government to be in charge. Just recently, Mamdani was talking
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: about how Reagan got it wrong saying that you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: these government growser restores are the way of the future.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: And look, I understand it. I do. Before I go
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: down the Mamdani rabbit hole, because I could talk about
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that stuff forever. I'll leave that for a little bit later.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I do want to talk about new information that we
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: have from CNN, where the CNN chief data analyst Harry Enton.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: He's got a report showing that the Marxists within the
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Democrat Party have succeeded in getting their fellow Democrats to
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: be more likely to be those that hate America. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's got to be one of the worst
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: things I've heard in forever, but that's the overarching truth,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: all right. So listen to this report from Harry Anton
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: from just this week. Check this out.
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: Nine are extremely or very proud, just one, a single
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: one say they have little to no pride in being
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: an American. But look at over at the Democratic side.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: This is what you can play the cut. Play it again,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: just take it from the top. Go ahead, go right.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: Ahead, mung Republicans three percent or extremely or very proud,
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: just one, a single one say they have little to
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: no pride in being an American. But look it over
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: at the Democratic side. This is where we've seen this
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: extremely your very number. It's been taking a tumble of
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: twenty seven percent, which is way different than the ninety three.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: You do the quick math with me here, what is that?
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: That's a sixty six point difference here in terms of
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: extremely very But look at this, the little or no
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: proud to be an American actually among Democrats eclipses is
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: greater than the extremely or very proud number. So we
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: are just living in such a different universe if you're
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: a Republican versus a Democrat on the basic fundamental question
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: of being proud to be an American?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? Being proud to be an American? Democrats
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: don't have that same pride that Republicans do. Now, I remember, right,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: forgive me for dating myself. I'm forty eight years old,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: and I remember being a little kid, and we were
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: red wine and every single Friday, and we saluted the
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: flag and we sang all the patriotic songs. They were
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: indoctrinating us to love America, to be colonizers, right with
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: my red thie, my white shirt, my blue slacks every Friday. Now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why did we get rid of this brainwashing.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Now we have new brainwashing that says America is built
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: on stolen land. And even if it were true, which
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: it's not, but even if it were true, how do
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: you justify this? You just spend the rest of your
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: existence making amends, saying you're sorry, feeling badly, getting your sackcloth,
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: and giving yourself lashes. I don't understand what the point
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: of this is. I mean, I do know. The point
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: of it is to get you to hate your country,
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: to say that this country sucks. There was a man
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: on the street interview that occurred I'd say probably about
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: a week ago, and in looking at my clips here
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: and let me tell you what a what a upsetting
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: thing to watch. This man is out on the uh
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I think it's the Venice Beach boardwalk, and he's interviewing
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: a bunch of young women all sorts, a young black girl,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: young Indian girl, young young all sorts of girls, you know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and there's only one white looking girl, like really red hair, freckles,
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and she's probably got the most sinister response. She says.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And I'm from Kansas, so we deal with this on
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: a regular basis. I mean, it was just so disheartening
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: to see. It's by a guy named James Klug who
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: was doing this man on the street interview, just putting
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: microphone in, you know, in the face of people walking
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: along the boardwalk, just so revealing, unscripted and.
• 14:53
  Speaker 10: Just very see a person with an American flag on
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: their shirt, do you form any kind of opinion about
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: them or no?
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: Yes, yes, definitely And what is that Republican?
• 15:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, probably like a trumpy they'd be the only ones
• 15:09
  Speaker 12: like brave enough to wear it in public.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Brave enough to wear an American flag, like proud to
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: wearing an American flag on their shirt.
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: You racist?
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: Yes, yeah, it's very racist patriotic For me, I think
• 15:23
  Speaker 13: it's like more of like a lot of people like
• 15:24
  Speaker 13: correlated with like racism and stuff like that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: It could be someone that's super patriotic, and usually I
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: think that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: It's a little too much. Hold on, first girl, the
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: third girl there, she says, it's usually correlated with racism
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the American flag. Obviously, this is ten years in the making,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: But twelve thirteen, fourteen years ago, that wasn't the case.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the case that people were offended by the flag.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: It wasn't the case that people were I didn't hear
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: of that in twenty thirteen or twenty twelve. I'd say
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: the earliest I heard of that was twenty fourteen, where
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: people were quote unquote triggered by the flag and this
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: woman appearing a little older, maybe not my age just yet,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: but maybe late thirties, early forties, and she says, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: think it's a little too much, meaning that's not something
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: you do. So they've all bought into this popular culture
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: notion that the American flag is somehow wrong one way
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: or another, and it's not something you wear right, It's
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: just not something you do. How did we get to
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: this place? Obviously a constant erosion of values. But I
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: think there's a little bit left in this clip. Let's
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: let it finish.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, too much, too much, I mean, like America, Like.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: I would just walk away.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: We come from Kansas, so we are around that a lot.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: So you guys are around a lot of American flags. Yeah,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: that's the girl I was telling about. She's got a
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: red hair, very fair skin, and she's like f America.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: The other ones didn't say if America. That was her
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: opening statement. What do you think of somebody wearing an
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: American flag shirt. I mean, if America we're from Kansas,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: we're around that a lot. I mean, that's bizarre if
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: you tell me that these people are all old enough
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: to drink. So if these people are all in their twenties, right,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I have a kid that's that age too. Actually, we're
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: really bad shape, really bad shape. Where are the ones
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: that love America? If the ones from Kansas sound like that, right?
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Used to think, Oh, but that's you know, those are
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: in those big cities. That's in California. This girl's from Kansas. Yes,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: granted they were in California. But I'll just tell you this,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: if you think for a second that this Democrat socialist
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: takeover of America, the Marxist takeover of America what the
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: great One Mark Levin wrote about years ago in his
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: book American Marxism is not coming to a town, city,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: and school near you. Or better yet, if you don't
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: see it already active in the town, school, or city
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: near you, then you're blind. This is not a big
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: blue city issue. Yeah. Granted you might find a couple
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: of small towns where you know people are holding on
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: to their values. But this thing is spreading, And I
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: would say it's spreading faster than patriotism spreading. It's spreading
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: faster than being an informed patriot of spreading. It's spreading
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: faster than the love of America that we once knew.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: It's not spreading. Why Why Because we've put an over
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: alliance on the government. We entrust the government to educate
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: our children. We entrust the university to educate our children.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: So what happens when you get a girl or a
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: young man that comes out of a teacher's college where
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: they've been taught, you know, a people's history of the
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: United States by Howard Zinn. They could care less about
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: the founding documents of America. And ultimately everything is you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: everything that America does is bad? And where where is
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: the The counter to that in our culture today doesn't exist.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: It doesn't make this stuff true. It just means if
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you've got a lie that's spreading, or even an unpopular
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: opinion that's spreading, and you've got nobody else pushing back
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: on it, Like my dad would say, de Chavate, you're screwed.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: There's nowhere to go from there. So what does that do?
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: It opens up the door to allow all sorts of
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: crazy things happen, right like Governor Tim Walls. Governor Tim
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Walls now is pardoning a child sexual assault convict because
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: they think that that's the right thing to do. Here's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: the report from Newsmax on this.
• 19:53
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's it's purio, it's shocking. Isn't even a good
• 19:56
  Speaker 14: enough word for it. Governor Waltz, the governor of Minnesota,
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: pardoned that man. He is convicted of sexual assault of a.
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: Ten year old.
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: And so what the governor did because he was because
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: he's now been convicted of this, the federal government was
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: going to remove him from our country, take a convicted
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: child sex predator out of our country. What did Waltz do?
• 20:22
  Speaker 14: He pardoned him, which means that the federal government's authority
• 20:27
  Speaker 14: to remove him from our country then is compromised because
• 20:31
  Speaker 14: he's not convicted anymore.
• 20:33
  Speaker 12: This is such a problem here obviously, I mean, DHS
• 20:36
  Speaker 12: says this decision could now prevent his removal, and the Department,
• 20:40
  Speaker 12: writing on X quote, Governor Wallace's pardon shielded this child
• 20:43
  Speaker 12: rapist from removal from our nation. This is the type
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: of disgusting criminal sanctuary politicians are shamelessly protecting.
• 20:51
  Speaker 14: And that ten year old sex offender, the sex offender
• 20:55
  Speaker 14: who attacked this ten year old child is now back
• 20:58
  Speaker 14: in minnesot.
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: He's seeing the street.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: He's pardoned.
• 21:02
  Speaker 14: So if you're in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, you're in Saint Cloud,
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: you're up in Duluth, you know this guy could be
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: out there with your kids too.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Now get this. The victim, who's now an adult, actually
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: supported this pardon, writing a letter of support stating that
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: she'd forgiven mister to lou Vang and made peace with
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: the abuse in two thousand and five. In two thousand
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: and six, mister Vang to Louvang pled guilty to first
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: degree criminal sexual conduct for repeatedly sexually abusing a ten
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: year old girl repeatedly. He received a plea deal with
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: no prison time. Over twenty years later, in June of
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, the Minnesota Board of Prisons, including Governor
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Tim Walls, A. G. Keith Ellison, and a Supreme Court
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: justice unanimously granted him a pardon or a reprieve on
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: this sentence, coming after mister vang and provided community support
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: letters and received a recommendation from the Clemency Review Commission. Now,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: the victim's letter was a big factor. Here a victim
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: advocate read part of it. She said what happened was wrong,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: but after many years she had thought about it, made
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: peace and forgave him. She believed he had learned and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: grown from it, and that the family had suffered enough.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: She supported the pardon. The board emphasized that they weighed
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: the victim's statement of support heavily in their decision, along
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: with other factors like rehabilitation claims. This is according to
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: a piece in CBS News Again mister Vang, an immigrant
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: from Laos who came to the United States as a child.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: He was about to be deported. Critics called the pardon disgusting,
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: arguing that it protects a convicted child sex offender from
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: removal and this is a threat to public safety. However,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: the prosecutors originally brought this case, they opposed the pardon.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know what to make of it. Obviously, if
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: the family was on board, then hey, they're on board.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Now let's talk about why the victims supported. Public reports
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: indicate that personal forgiveness after two decades excuse me, belief
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: in the offender's change, and a desire to move on
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: with her and her family's lives we're part of it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: The victim's views on forgiveness and clemency vary widely. Some
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: of them have support for it, others are looking for closure,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: others are looking for redemption, others don't want any of
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: its part, and boards often give a lot of weight
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: when a victim says they agree with the pardon, as
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: has happened in this case. It doesn't erase the crime
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: or change the broader debates about accountability for child sex abuse.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: But it does change the fact that this guy wasn't
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: sent to jail when this happened, and now he gets
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: to stay in America quite likely, right, because this is
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: a monkey wrench thrown into the gears here again, that's
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: according to a report in CBS News. So the question becomes,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: is this good bad? Ugly? I think it's not good.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think we should have let this guy go,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: but I think now it's a situation where one's hands
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: are likely tied. Why Well, because first of all, the
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: guy didn't go to jail period. So I mean, if
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I were his lawyer, I'd make the case this guy
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I didn't even go to jail in the United States.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Why are we going to send them to jail somewhere else.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Whether that has any bearing on a jury or any
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: sense legally doesn't matter, right, It's just an argument that
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: they're going to make, as well as the fact that
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: the family's on board. So at this point, it seems
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: like the Walls administration is doing anything and everything they
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: can to sock it to them, and I would bet
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: that's probably why the family's involved, right, likely having nothing
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: to do with this particular case, but just saying, look,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I don't like that guy. It happened a long time ago.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: He's a douche. But you know what, we hate the Republicans,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: we hate Trump, we hate all those people. So it's
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: better we stick together and do what we can. This
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: is again, this is my thought. I know people that
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: are motivated by this type of hate. I see it
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: pretty often, right. I think Republicans, conservatives, they tend to
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: look at issues more than people, and I think Democrats
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: tend to look at people more than issues, and it
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: becomes personal quite often for them. So what do you
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: do in a situation like this? Would you even have
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: allowed this to happen if this was your child, your daughter,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: your granddaughter that was you know, molested sexually somehow by
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: this guy that was visiting from Laos and stayed here
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: and now is here and they say, sorry, no, no
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: jail time for you. Do you accept it?
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: They did? And look at the consequence. Now they're trying
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: to help the guys stay out of jail. Now is
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: this the Democrats just never meeting a criminal that they
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: didn't love. Maybe right, it could be another case of
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: George Floyd or Kilmar Obrigo Garcia or any of the
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: other ones. The reality is Democrats are soft on crime.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I want to know your thoughts here eight seven seven
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Valdes one eight seven seven valdest one, call and drop
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: a message. But the reality to me here is that
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: it seems that it's not that they're soft on crime
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: per se. I'd say it's more their pro crime. These progressives,
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: the pro crime progressives will do anything to create bedlam.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can tell you New York City is
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: getting worse and worse. There were some really nice comments
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: by people visiting for the World Cup going well. Now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: I thought New York was horrible because of the news
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: i'd heard. I understand, one hundred percent of the time,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: you're not going to get robbed one hundred percent of
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: the time you're not going to get shot. But that
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean that the quality of life hasn't declined. It
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: sure has, so let's not conflate, right, But it still
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: begs the question do democrats love crime? And I'm looking
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: at a couple of stories just today, right today, yesterday,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: it seems that let me see if I could find
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: this so I can bring it up to you really quick.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Let me know if you guys find it in the studio,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: thank you. But a couple of different ones, right, one
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: in Philly, another one somewhere else. You've got this kid
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: in Philly commits a crime, and who helps him get away?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Not his friends, Nope, his mom and his stepdad. And
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: what did the kid do? He killed somebody? All right?
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: This one's from Newsmax.
• 26:59
  Speaker 16: This is it's an update to a tragic story we
• 27:02
  Speaker 16: first brought to you in June. A Penn State senior
• 27:05
  Speaker 16: just months away from graduation, shot that after chasing the
• 27:08
  Speaker 16: thieves who stole his phone.
• 27:10
  Speaker 15: Yeah, over the Fourth of July holiday. Though there was
• 27:12
  Speaker 15: a major break in the case, the suspected shooters are
• 27:15
  Speaker 15: now in custody. Both are just sixteen years old. News
• 27:19
  Speaker 15: Mexican course one at Jason Matera has the ladist Chasin.
• 27:23
  Speaker 17: Yeah, Mark Charlotte. And not only are both suspects just
• 27:26
  Speaker 17: sixteen years old, but now we're learning that the mother
• 27:29
  Speaker 17: and stepfather of one of the juveniles allegedly helped him
• 27:33
  Speaker 17: flee the state to avoid arrest. The victim, Billy Schmidt,
• 27:37
  Speaker 17: was twenty two years old, only months away from his diploma,
• 27:41
  Speaker 17: when he was brutally murdered last month in South Philadelphia
• 27:44
  Speaker 17: while walking home after watching the NBA Finals with his buddies.
• 27:49
  Speaker 17: From there, the manhunt was on to bring in his killers.
• 27:52
  Speaker 17: At the beginning of July, the US Marshals put up
• 27:55
  Speaker 17: a five thousand dollars reward for information leading to the
• 27:58
  Speaker 17: arrests of Cassim's Smith and Azubaer out in Fleming. Within
• 28:04
  Speaker 17: a day of that reward going up, the Marshals tracked
• 28:07
  Speaker 17: down one of the alleged shooters out in Fleming. Authority
• 28:10
  Speaker 17: say he was hiding out at a relative's house in
• 28:13
  Speaker 17: Colorado Springs, and that sixteen year old's mother and stepfather
• 28:18
  Speaker 17: are now under arrest too. The stepfather is right there
• 28:20
  Speaker 17: on your screen, charged with hindering apprehension after allegedly helping
• 28:24
  Speaker 17: their son get out of town knowing that the police
• 28:27
  Speaker 17: were after him. Kassim Smith, the other sixteen year old
• 28:31
  Speaker 17: suspect and alleged triggerman, surrendered to the Philadelphia police after
• 28:34
  Speaker 17: his accused accomplice was arrested out of state, bringing the
• 28:38
  Speaker 17: month long manhunt to a close. On June sixth, Police
• 28:43
  Speaker 17: say that Smith and out in Fleming robbed Billy Schmidt
• 28:46
  Speaker 17: of his phone. When Billy chased after them, Smith allegedly
• 28:49
  Speaker 17: turned and fired a single shot into his chest, leaving
• 28:54
  Speaker 17: the twenty two year old to die on the street.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Has missed him so much.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: I don't understand how someone could do this. I want
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: justice for him, for my family.
• 29:07
  Speaker 17: And for Billie's family. Justice means an aggressive prosecution, but
• 29:12
  Speaker 17: right now they fear that the defendant's age could become
• 29:14
  Speaker 17: an excuse for a lenient deal, so they're trying to
• 29:17
  Speaker 17: get ahead of that possibility, calling on the DA Larry
• 29:20
  Speaker 17: Krasner to pursue the maximum penalties allowed, something the progressive
• 29:25
  Speaker 17: prosecutor is not exactly known for in Philadelphia.
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah, and I'm not sure what the maximum penalty there
• 29:32
  Speaker 15: is for a sixteen year old to commit murder, but again,
• 29:34
  Speaker 15: As you said, they're used to going lenient there in
• 29:37
  Speaker 15: Philadelphia with that progressive DA and I just I hope
• 29:40
  Speaker 15: that's not the case.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Me too, I also hope it's not the case, but
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: sadly that seems to be the case all too often.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: So when you create a environment where you know that
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: you can do whatever you want, the repercussion is what
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: you're mad at me because I stole your iPhone, I
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: will shoot you dead in this street. And then ban
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: he does it, and then it's like, oh, mom, dad,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: I shot this guy because I was there. We were
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: stealing phones, and homeboy shot him. My boy, and I
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: don't know what to do, all right, don't worry. We'll
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: call your auntie so and so and she can hide
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: you out in Colorado Springs. Who are these people? What
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: is wrong with these people? I'm glad they're all going
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: to jail this way, you know what. We can keep
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: the family together, right, No more separation of families that
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the left got their way. We're keeping this family nice, intact.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: The mom, the dad, the best friend. They get to
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: all go to jail together. I mean, this is absolutely disgraceful.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: It's disgusting. It makes me Honestly, this is a shame.
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: If someone were to insult me and say, you know what,
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: in your country, you've got parents in on the whole thing. Now,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: I would say that's not true everywhere, right, I'd say
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: that's a Philly problem because of Larry Krassner, because of
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: the pro crime progressives that are in the prosecutor's seat
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: in so many of these cities, thanks to George Soros
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: and Singham and the others that fund these type of things.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Here we are. They can't change the rules, so they
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: figured they'll change the uh, the top cop. Absolute disgrace.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: And again this is in isolated. These things happen over
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: and over and over. I got another one here, fifteen
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: year old. Those two kids were sixteen years old. This
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: one is fifteen years old. This one decided to kill
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: the mail woman. Listen to this.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: A miner who pleaded guilty to killing a postal worker
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: will spend five years in juvenile detention. Octavia Redmond was
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: killed in July of twenty twenty four while she was
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: delivering mail. The juvenile got out of a stolen vehicle
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: has shot her multiple times at close range. That person
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: pleaded guilty to murdering her last month.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I can't pick this up. I'm speechless, honestly. I mean,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: everybody's just shooting everybody. What is going on here? All
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I could say is I think President Trump is right.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: When you have Marxists further from the Fabian School or
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: the call Mark School or whatever, communist sympathizers, collectivists, these
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: anti law and order wackos are destroying the quality of
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: life for Americans all over the place, and I think
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: it's getting worse instead of getting better. I don't know
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: what you think. Let me know. Eight seven seven Valdez one,
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: eight seven seven Valdez one. Keep it lock right here.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: I'm Rich Valdez.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: This is America, this is America.
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: to speak with Rich Valdez.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Oh very good, Yeah, bug an honor. Thanks, The honor
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Now here's Rich Valdez, all right for me? Yeah, welcome back,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: Rich Valdez, keeping you company this Monday night. Happy to
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: be here. Happy birthday America to fifty and after a
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: few days off for the Fourth of July celebration, our
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fiftieth Fourth of July celebration. I can
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: nveniently skipped the heat wave, and many people went through it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: And the New Yorkers in the area were told by
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: their fearless leader that they need to change the temperature
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: on their thermostats. That's right. New York City Mayor Zoram
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Mamdani told business owners and residents the following.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: seventy eight degrees to alleviate the stress on our power grid.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Now that was just a couple of days before he
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: decided to go all out Kami and put it all
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: out there. And by that, I mean giving a speech
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: about why America is so unequal, so unfair, so much
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: worse than most of us thought it was.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Listen to this as we mark two hundred and fifty years,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: what do we see. We see a city of contradictions
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: in the history of the world, one where children go
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: to sleep hungry, while the world's first billionaire hungers for more.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Hold it now, now, I just want to point out,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: by contrast the United States, less than one percent of
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: kids in the United States go to bed hungry. They
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: call that a severe reduction in food intake when you
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: have to skip a meal to go to bed hungry.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Zero point nine percent of American children experience severe reductions
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: in food intake zero point nine percent. For country our size,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I'd say that's one of the best in the world now,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: as a handful of very smaller countries that you know,
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: do better than that less than one percent number that
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: we have. But what is mum Donie talking about? All right?
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: He's trying to make it look like because Elon Musk
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: is listing his new company for a trillion dollars on
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: the stock exchange, that's somehow that's starving a kid. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: come from a place where I learned very early in life,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get fat off of what you eat.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: And the same works in reverse the tape.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: buy elections. We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: in unmarked vans.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: This is so filled with hyperbole. This guy should have
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: been a poet. He's saying that the ice agents are
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: eating food made by the legal immigrants right before they
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: arrest him. I mean, it's I understand what he's trying
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: to get at, and it's working, right. I mean, he's
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: getting to the heart of these people, and that's what
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: he wants to do. He wants to tug on the
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: heart strings. But the reality is he doesn't have a
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: leg to stand on here. Ice enforcement is just that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Take off the mask. Then what you're all for? Ice enforcement?
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: I think Matt, you're one of those sanctuary city crazies
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: because this doesn't mean that me or anybody else that
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: I know is necessarily against immigration overall. I think immigrants
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: are great. I love the immigrants. My issue here is
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: with an unchecked system. Right, we have to have rules.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: We have to wor's the rules. We have to have
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: an account for who's in the country and be able
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: to say who and when gets in. We don't have that,
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: and I think that's obvious. Go ahead, we.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: See a nation whose immense wealth has been built by
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: those with callous, dirt streaked hands, those who toil on
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: factory floors and chisel into stone.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: All right, hold on, So a nation whose wealth was
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: built by He's trying to say, hard work, right, my
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: people that are laboring. But I don't know. Let's see
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: of the billionaires that are around today. Like one of
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: the top billionaires I see is Trump? Right, Trump's billionaire.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: He's the president of the United States, his profession builder.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: So is he the guy that mum dan he's talking about,
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: you know, chiseled hands from building. I don't know. I
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: would doubt that that's what he's talking about. Is he
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: talking about Jeff Bezos who started Amazon? Or is he
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: talking about Elon Musk and his chiseled hands and dusty hands.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Who's he talking about, obviously not the people who have
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: the wealth. He's talking about the people that work for
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: the people that have the wealth. Yet he's seemingly conflating
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: the two.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: And we see a nation that has allowed so much
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: of that wealth to be held instead and the soft
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: hands of a precious few.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Ah. There it is, right, trying to make it look like, hey,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: we do all the hard work and you get all
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: the money. Then don't work for that guy. Do it
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: yourself and you'll be the next Elon Musk. Right, wouldn't
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: that be true, mister mum donney if it worked that way.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: What's true here is that this idea, and I'm going
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: to repeat it again that what I eat will make
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: you fat is a falsehood. Because people are rich doesn't
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: make anybody else poor. Nobody's going hungry because Trump is
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: building a new building, because Musk is building a new
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: spaceship or a new social media platform or buying one. Sadly,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: that's just fake, phony and fraud. Wish I wish it
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: were true, because then we could fix it. Right, then
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: we could just turn around and say, oh, well, then
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: if we don't do this, it's a lie. It's a lie,
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: and they create this lie to demonize the wealthy. Now,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: if there weren't a wealthy, would they care about poverty?
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: That's the bigger question. Well, what do you mean, Rache, Well,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I mean this, take countries that don't have billionaires. Right.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: What are some of the countries that don't have billionaires? Right,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: Let's go to where Mamdani is from. He's from the
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: continent of Africa, He's from Uganda. If you look at
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: some of their neighbors at Kenya, for example, Kenya, forty
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: three percent of the population lives in poverty, surviving on
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: less than three US dollars per day. This accounts for
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: how many people in the country. Twenty million people in
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Kenya live that way, right. The wealth divide in Kenya's
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: immense according to some of the stuff I'm looking here
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: from Oxfam International, no record billionaires or no billionaires of
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: record from Kenya. None from Ethiopia either, if I'm not mistaken, right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: So you have these two countries. Yet Ethiopia has been
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: since I was a kid, infamous for kids going to
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: bed hungary. So who are we blaming it on theres
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: that are going hungry? Where you see their bellies distended,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: they have no food, they have worms growing in their bellies.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: You're gonna blame that on who Trump elon Musk that
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: the soft hands of a few. There are no soft
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: hands over there. There are no billionaires in Kenya. So
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: now who do we blame? Mister Mondani? Of course, there's
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: no one to blame. So now you don't care. And
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: that's my issue with these quote unquote progressives, quote unquote
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: Fabian society quote unquote collectivists, communist sympathizers, communist comrades, socialists,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: democratic socialists. They're all birds of a feather. They all
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: believe in Marxism, right, something that President Trump spoke so
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: eloquently about how we're not going to let that happen.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: We're not going to let that break up the country.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: We're not going to allow that to reverse all the
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: hard work that was done here. You've got some people
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: with the resources, the will, the desire, the indust streiousness,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: the network, the vision, the persuasive ability, everything that you
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: need to send this country into the industrial evolution that
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: it experienced. And we're supposed to tell all of those
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: guys who made so much money back then that they're
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: family today, which we call NEPO babies. That continues the
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: tradition that somehow they're bad, somehow they're wrong, somehow they've
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: done something to be apologetic instead of proud, right right.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Imagine if you're Anderson Cooper, right, I think his grandfather
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: built Grand Central Station, I would be super proud of that.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: You could trust and believe my number one date spot
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: would be the restaurants in Grand Central Station, and I'd
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: be like, you know, my grandfather built this place. Cool. Huh, yeah,
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I would. I think that's something you should be incredibly
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: proud of. But yet somehow they want these people to
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: feel bad. They want them, you know, to be silver
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: spoon socialists. You should feel bad that you lived so
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: well while so many others were Why should you feel bad?
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't feel bad. I wouldn't at all. I think, listen,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: everybody has their lot in life, and there's opportunity for many.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: I use myself as an example. Often times I've been
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: through tough times. I go through them at different points
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: in my life in my career. We all do. But
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: it doesn't change the fact that I was a kid
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: grew up with my parents in Brooklyn. They had both
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: come from Puerto Rico. They tried to make it here.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: My mom cleaned homes and offices. My dad was a
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: doorman and he worked in a cardboard factory until he was,
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: you know, too sick to work. And I understand the
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: hard work that they went through. I remember what it
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: was like growing up as a kid. We didn't have pets,
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: but we did have mice, right. I remember that cockroaches.
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I remember that too. It wasn't an easy existence for
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: us growing up. I remember there was a cheese surplus
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: and President Reagan sending these blocks of government cheese out
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: to the communities, and standing on a line with my
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: siblings and collecting a block of government cheese. I remember
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: that like yesterday. Is it something that I'm proud of. No,
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: I'd be proud of Grand Central Station, that's for sure.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: So my point to he is, you know, today I
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: get to say, not once, not twice, but three times.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: I've been listed as one of the most important radio
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: talk show hosts in America from Talkers Magazine on their
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: heavy hundred list. Proud of that, Proud to say I
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: took over a show that had legends hosting it prior
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: to me, like Jim O'Hannon and Larry King. On a
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: number of occasions, I've hosted the second largest talk radio
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: show in America, the Mark Levin Show. I get to
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: count him as one of my mentor and a friend.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: I think I've had some very good fortune and I
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: give the glory and the credit for that to God.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: People say, but you have a talent and hard work
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: all that again, like Russia, Limbo would say, on loan
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: from God, and that's the truth. All things lead back
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: to the Lord. Now, the Communists would likely argue also
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: that if they're hungry, that's because they're in sin because
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: of this. Because of that, that's the theological debate will
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: have another day. I would say no, I would say that,
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: you know, God didn't promise us an easy time or
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: a good time. He promised to be there with us
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: while we went through all the times. But that's not
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: the point of this, right. The point of this here
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: is that they blame people's success with others failure. They
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: blame other's wealth with someone else's poverty, and that is
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: a faulty assumption. This is not like you're at a party.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: They put out a pizza pie, there's eight slices, and
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: the one fat guy there, call him Richie, wants to
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: have seven slices and leaves one for everybody else that's
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: in the party, and there's only eight people in the party. Right,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: So that's not the reality of the life that we
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: live in. If I buy my own slice of pizza
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: and I eat eight slices, you're not going hungry because
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: I bought my pizza. You're going hungry because you don't
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: have money to buy your own. Now. Is it incumbent
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: upon me, based on my faith and my outlook on
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: life to share what I have? Maybe hopefully, But that
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean that that's the reason you don't have. The
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: reason you don't work. The reason you haven't amassed wealth.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: One has nothing to do with the other. And yet
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: the communists, the leftist, the progressive, the democrat, whatever you
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: want to call them, right, because they have so many
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: names for themselves. They're constantly mad at someone. It's based
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: on envy. I don't envy anybody. If I didn't make
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: it in the radio business, I wasn't gonna turn around
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: and be like, Oh, it's because a bunch of old
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: white men. It is all right, it's a bunch of
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: old white men. What was I going to do turn
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: around and say, oh, it's a bunch of old white men.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: They didn't want a young Querto Rican guy on the
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: air waves. Would that be true? I don't think so.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Why because I proved it wrong. I've had a great
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: time on the air. Now we're doing streaming. Now we're
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: doing TV with Roku. Roku just got bought by Fox
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Corporation for twenty two billion dollars. It's only getting bigger.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: Made this deal six months ago at ninety million subscriber households.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: Now we're up to one hundred million subscriber households on Roku.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: That's growth. I can't blame that on someone else because
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: people are watching soccer, they're not watching my show. Even
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: if that were to be true in these months in
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: the summer, right during the World Cup, does it make sense?
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: So I wanted to point that out because this mom, Donnie,
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: he's doing so much damage to America, as is everyone
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: else that's of his ilk right, whether it's AOC, Bernie
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Sanders and the rest of them. These people, they believe
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: in something that doesn't work. There's never been a successful
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: example of it working. The only one they've got is China,
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: and they need capitalism to do it. And I don't
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: like going down this road too much because it's hard
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: to make this stuff funny and it's hard to have
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: a good time when you're talking about this. But I
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: think it's got to be spoken about. We've got to
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: have a discussion about this stuff because all too often
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: people buy into this stuff and then they're mad because
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: they feel slighted, because again, this is based on envy.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: If we didn't have this feeling of envy, if they
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: couldn't use that against you to make you feel like
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: you realize that these people are going hungry, and this
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: guy's got a Rolls Royce who cares that guy's hungry,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: give them a sandwich. If you don't want to give
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: them a sandwich, find someone that can figure out a
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: way to make extra money to do that. Don't tell
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: me that I got to do it. If I'm so
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: led by the Lord to be charitable, I'll do. I
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: donate a percentage of my income to my local church
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: I have since I was a teenager. Good. Great, that's
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: what I do. I don't know what you do. Well,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I don't do. I don't tell
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: my neighbor to go ahead and say, hey, listen, bro,
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: you should be feeding every last guy that comes across
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: here hungry because you know they're they're hungry because you
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: own the house next to me. No straight lies. It's nonsense.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: It sounds like nonsense because it is. It's fake. It's phony,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: and it's fraud. And that's what Mam Donnie is. Anyway,
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: speaking of Mom Donnie, coming back, we're gonna talk about
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: these two daredevils that decided to climb the Empire State Building,
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: plus Trump's trip to Europe for the NATO discussion that
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: he's about to have, and so much more before we
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: wrap up. Keep it locked right here, I'm Rich Valdes.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: This is America. This is America.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: He's making podcasting great again.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: Through this evening.
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: Traveling to Turkey for this week's NATO summit, President plans
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: to meet with the leaders of Ukraine and Syria Wednesday.
• 48:30
  Speaker 11: The gathering comes amid Iran's massive memorial for its late
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: Supreme leader killed during US and Israeli air strikes in February,
• 48:37
  Speaker 11: of course, by Alexandria Hall, who is live in the
• 48:40
  Speaker 11: North lawn of the White House with the latest good
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: to Me Alex.
• 48:43
  Speaker 18: Good evening, Brett. Yes, President Trump is expected to arrive
• 48:45
  Speaker 18: in on Kara tomorrow afternoon, and once there, a stunning
• 48:49
  Speaker 18: regional contrast is going to be on display. In Turkey.
• 48:51
  Speaker 18: The red Carpet's going to be rolled out for President Trump.
• 48:54
  Speaker 18: Then right next door in Iran regime sympathizers dressed in
• 48:57
  Speaker 18: all black, they chant death to America. It's as much
• 49:03
  Speaker 18: a funeral procession as it is a state sponsored show
• 49:06
  Speaker 18: of opposition to the US. Iran's new leadership, parading the
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: casket of Ayatola Ali Hamani in order to rally calls
• 49:13
  Speaker 18: for retribution the late Supreme leader was killed in US
• 49:16
  Speaker 18: air strikes back in February. President Trump said last week
• 49:19
  Speaker 18: his administration gave Iran the week off for the funeral,
• 49:22
  Speaker 18: quote because we're nice, adding today.
• 49:25
  Speaker 13: Look, we're going to win one way or the other.
• 49:27
  Speaker 13: We're either going to make a deal or we're going
• 49:28
  Speaker 13: to finish the job. Okay, and it won't be tough
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal because
• 49:35
  Speaker 13: I don't want to affect ninety one million people.
• 49:38
  Speaker 18: What the President does want is more support from NATO
• 49:40
  Speaker 18: members in the fight to denuclearize Iran. That's on top
• 49:43
  Speaker 18: of the continued demand that European allies increased defense spending.
• 49:47
  Speaker 18: President Trump said last month he wouldn't be attending the
• 49:50
  Speaker 18: endkar A summit if not for Turkish President Airdiwan.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: I like him.
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: He's a preend of mine, and he stayed out of
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: the war.
• 49:57
  Speaker 18: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though, hasn discerns over the
• 50:00
  Speaker 18: defense support Turkey seeks from the US.
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: Look, Turkey is a great country, but it's governed by
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: a man who calls openly for the annihilation of Israel.
• 50:10
  Speaker 18: On the NATO sidelines. Wednesday, President Trump is set to
• 50:13
  Speaker 18: meet with Siria's new president off Midel Shirah and President Zelenski,
• 50:17
  Speaker 18: saying this today about a potential peace deal between Russia
• 50:20
  Speaker 18: and Ukraine.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: This is one that I think we're getting much closer
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: than people realize.
• 50:24
  Speaker 18: Before departing on the high stakes trip, President Trump made
• 50:27
  Speaker 18: history in the Oval Office, bringing both the New York
• 50:31
  Speaker 18: Stock Exchange and Nasdaq opening bells to celebrate the July
• 50:35
  Speaker 18: fourth launch of the Trump Accounts program, aimed at benefiting
• 50:38
  Speaker 18: the next generation. Well, today's strip is going to be
• 50:40
  Speaker 18: a quick turnaround for President Trump. This summit wraps up
• 50:43
  Speaker 18: on Wednesday with a news conference.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: Bred all right, that's a report from the Fox News
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: channel on what's going on all things Washington. And this
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: is a high stakes meeting, right. President Trump has been
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: blasting the NATO people, blasting them because they didn't get
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: him involved in the Iran conflict, in particular clearing minds
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: from the Strait of Hormoz, and he praises I don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: want to use the word praises, but he says Erdawan's
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: a friend of his and he's grateful that he didn't
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: get involved in the war. And this is where it's problematic. Right,
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: because you've got Turkey and NATO. Now, of course, Turkey's
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: been a member of NATO since inception in nineteen fifty two.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: But the question is, was a NATO member going to
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: get into this war against the United States? What would
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: that have looked like. Obviously Trump saying hey, look I
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: need your help with this. I'd like your help with
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: this clearing of the Strait of Hormuz and nothing happening.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: I think kind of a set a precedent for those
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: that say, hey, look, maybe we want to get in
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: with the other guys. Or maybe Turkey was just posturing
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: the whole time, saying, hey, look we're going to get
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: into it against we don't like Israel, and let's get
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: into it against them. I don't know the play, you know,
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: if it was just let me see what kind of
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: good will I could muster up by talking a little
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: smack over here. But I do know that it would
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: have made things a lot worse had it actually happened.
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: So I think President Trump was wise to not skip
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: this meeting at Ankara and make sure that he's there to,
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: you know, keep things smooth with Erdawan and not see
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: some sort of Turkish Iranian alliance emerge, and I guess
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: we'll learn more about that in you know, the next
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: day or two as they unfold this conference in Turkey.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: But I want to get back to something I mentioned before,
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: which was these dared Devils, because I thought it was
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: really interesting. This couple, a man and a woman dressed
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: like batman and catwoman, were seen climbing the Empire State
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: Building at the highest part, like from the observation deck
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: all the way up to the top, the very very
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: top of the antenna. There was nothing left for these
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: guys to climb and really just absolutely bus are but
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: it broke the internet just a couple of days back.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Listen to this.
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: Do have shoes on? The gentleman had white sneakers on.
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: They are of course wearing head covering so that they
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: are not revealing their identity at least right for nat.
• 53:13
  Speaker 10: Right now, I'm not exactly sure what's going on here.
• 53:16
  Speaker 10: It looks like the man is is he proposing to her?
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: It's a little unclear what's going on. It looks like
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: he's proposing to her. He kneeled down, said something to her,
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: and now they are kissing at the top of the
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: Empire State Buildings. Is unbelievable. So it looks like these
• 53:30
  Speaker 10: two have or the gentleman has proposed to her, and
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: just an unbelievable situation out here. They are still way
• 53:39
  Speaker 10: up the Empire State Building, about thirteen hundred feet or
• 53:43
  Speaker 10: so I estimate, up in the air. Both of them
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: do have shoes on.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Isn't that wild? They hung a band. After the guy
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: gets on one knee, puts the ring on her finger,
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: she says yes. He gives her a big kiss. They hug,
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: and then they climb to the very very top of
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: the antenna. They were at the platform. Then they climbed
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: to the very top of the antenna and they put
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: up a sign. I think it says, when the love
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: of power meets the power of love, then the world
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: will know, or something to that effect. You know, some
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: silly saying that was all over the place, and everybody
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: was putting it all over their social media, and I
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: just thought the whole thing was nuts, and that they
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: actually survived, to me was crazy. Now, of course, you know,
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: if the helicopters, the news helicopters and the police helicopters
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: seeing what's going on with these people climbing the Empire
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: State Building once they figure out it's not terrorism, but
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: these guys are Daredevil's trying to break some sort of record.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Well guess what they decided, Okay, We're going to send
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: in our team to arrest them. And the cops started
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: playing Spider Man as well, going in there, the Emergency
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: Services Unit, climbing and doing what you do every time
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: you see them, like trying to get a jumper or
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: anything like that. These very very very brave men and
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: women go in there, and I don't know if there's
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: any women. I just said that to be politically correct,
• 55:04
  Speaker 4: but I've only ever seen men do that type of work.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: And thank God for them, because if I had to
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: do it, I'd slip and fall for sure. Guaranteed. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: look down on an escalator and I get a little woozy.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: My hands starts to sweat eye, I feel like I'm
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: losing my balance just from looking at the heights. So
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: these guys deserve all the credit in the world, including
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: the future bride and groom. But this is what it
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: sounded like from the police body cam footage watched us.
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: Hello, how you doing?
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: You stay where you are?
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: It's got to be the politest cop in the world,
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: right These two people dressed in black climbing the Empire
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: State Building. Hello, how you doing? Could you just stay
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: right there? Please?
• 55:53
  Speaker 7: Bob?
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: You're good?
• 55:56
  Speaker 19: How you doing.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: You can't be up here?
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: Law?
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: All right?
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm okay, Yeah, rom here is.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: He now has his hand around her bicyc and she
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: turned around to get handcuffs, so she knew the drill.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: I've bring heard another side.
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: You're going over there.
• 56:31
  Speaker 15: Just bring her over there so he can come down
• 56:34
  Speaker 15: before he goes back up.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Well, long did you guys speak?
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: This duo is the married couple couple dating couple that
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: was featured on a Netflix documentary about their particular daredevil activities.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Their names are Angela Nicolao, thirty three years old, and
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: Ivan Kunstanov he's thirty two yearsyears old, also known as
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: Ivan Birkis. They climbed the one four and fifty four
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: foot antenna of the Empire State Building in New York City.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: The couple famously unfurled a peace banner that got them
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: in trouble, but only after they got engaged. Engaged at
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: the top of the Empire State Building. Really really wild stuff, man,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: but hey, kudos to them, right, I think that's a
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: pretty cool story, and I would love to interview I
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: would love to interview them anyway, he goes, that's all
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: I've got for today. We're gonna have full analysis on
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: what's going on in Turkey with the NATO summit at
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: Ankara with President Trump, President Erdawan and the rest of
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: the NATO allies in their meeting, as well as everything
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: else that's going on in the news. There's plenty to discuss.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: I barely touched on the red card controversy with the
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: World Cup. Of course, the United States did lose the game,
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: but there was a whole lot to that in some
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: audio that I wanted to play. Maybe it's pass a
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: by tomorrow. The Trump accounts, I wanted to get into
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit more of that. We kind of did
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: just a cursory report on the news there and I
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: have calls. I got to get to some calls as well.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: So all of that's coming up on the next edition
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: of This is America. But until then, I say, you
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: have to stand for something, because if you stand for nothing,
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: you'll fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: evil to triumph is for good people like you to
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: sit there and do nothing. So do something I start
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: at roxima until the next time America. I am Rich
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Valdez and this is America.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: This is America, standing.
• 59:05
  Speaker 19: Standing standing standing standing standing standing standing standing.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 10: Yeah,
