- 0:05Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez, powered by politicek.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Dot com and Rich Valdees is with US former Christian Administration.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Official you worked with Chris Christie. Have been policies on
- 0:14Speaker 3: a lot of public service stuff.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Rich Valdez Communist now with Washington Times.
- 0:18Speaker 5: This is America, ritchiev. You're on the air with the Nation.
- 0:23Speaker 3: America with your host, Rich Valdez.
- 0:26Speaker 4: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdes Valdez with an
- 0:29Speaker 4: s at Rich Valdez on all of the social media,
- 0:32Speaker 4: your liberty loving Latino amigo. Seventeen miles, seventeen blocks away
- 0:36Speaker 4: from Madison Square Garden, right here in New York City,
- 0:38Speaker 4: and I want to get into the news of the
- 0:40Speaker 4: day and today my least favorite congresswoman from the Bronx
- 0:43Speaker 4: and Queens, Alexandriro Cacio Cortez, also known as aoc or
- 0:46Speaker 4: as I like to say, all out crazy. She took
- 0:49Speaker 4: to the stage today to make a lot of comments.
- 0:52Speaker 4: I got all the clips, I got the receipts, and
- 0:54Speaker 4: we're bringing the facts. I want to go straight to
- 0:56Speaker 4: that because she says that ICE has become the official
- 1:01Speaker 4: police force of no accountability. Now, of course, she's referencing
- 1:04Speaker 4: what exactly took place yesterday when a agitator became a
- 1:09Speaker 4: domestic terrorist and pointed their car, hit the gas, and
- 1:13Speaker 4: tried to run over a cop. Guess what, I correct myself.
- 1:16Speaker 4: This person hit the cop with their car, at which
- 1:19Speaker 4: time the cop moved to the side and started blasting.
- 1:22Speaker 4: And this woman's now dead as a result. Yet you've
- 1:24Speaker 4: got people all over in the streets in many parts
- 1:28Speaker 4: of the country protesting saying this is an unaccountable police
- 1:32Speaker 4: force that the regular citizenry is not accountable to. I
- 1:36Speaker 4: got news for you, my friends. There is not a
- 1:38Speaker 4: branch of federal law enforcement that loses their ability to
- 1:42Speaker 4: do anything just because you are a citizen. Right. I
- 1:46Speaker 4: doesn't stop being a federal branch of law enforcement just
- 1:50Speaker 4: because you're a citizen. If you are attacking a federal
- 1:53Speaker 4: law enforcement officer with your vehicle, they are going to
- 1:56Speaker 4: attack you with their gun. Right, It's called self defense.
- 1:59Speaker 4: But good old I want to start with her because
- 2:01Speaker 4: we got the clips, and you know what better than
- 2:04Speaker 4: playing all crazy herself? Check this out.
- 2:07Speaker 6: So this is now turned into what our greatest fear
- 2:11Speaker 6: is and has been for a long time. ROPI so
- 2:13Speaker 6: this will be used as an anti civilian force that
- 2:17Speaker 6: has no accountabilities. At the end of the day, what
- 2:20Speaker 6: we saw today as a murder, and murders in cold
- 2:24Speaker 6: blood need to be prosecuted.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Hi Vandeta really aoc A murder. I don't know the
- 2:30Speaker 4: circumstance around this woman and why she tried to use
- 2:32Speaker 4: her car as a battering ramp to take on the police.
- 2:35Speaker 4: I could only suspect it had a lot to do
- 2:38Speaker 4: with her violent protesting getting in the way of the police,
- 2:41Speaker 4: obstructing their investigations in Minneapolis, etc. Bottom line here is,
- 2:45Speaker 4: I don't think the cop was intending to murder her.
- 2:49Speaker 4: I think the cop was intending to stop her from
- 2:52Speaker 4: inflicting harm upon him. She pointed a car at him
- 2:55Speaker 4: and voil I And we learned today that this cop
- 2:58Speaker 4: this is not his first rodeo. And getting run over,
- 3:00Speaker 4: now that's a big deal, right, because if you've been
- 3:03Speaker 4: run over before, the last thing you're gonna do is
- 3:05Speaker 4: let somebody run you over again.
- 3:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 3:06Speaker 4: You might get caught off guard the first time, You're
- 3:08Speaker 4: not going to get caught off guard the second time.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I got Vice President jd Vance here explaining exactly when
- 3:13Speaker 4: went down Kara Castronova. She is a reporter now with
- 3:17Speaker 4: Lynneveel TV, but she's a Golden Glove boxer and I've
- 3:19Speaker 4: done plenty of TV shows with her over the years.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Kara's a New Yorker. She's out in DC right now
- 3:24Speaker 4: holding it down on the swamp. But she was in
- 3:26Speaker 4: the White House today and got to ask President, excuse me,
- 3:30Speaker 4: Vice President jd Vance a question. He gave an amazing response.
- 3:33Speaker 4: Listen to this.
- 3:34Speaker 7: It seems like local violence is ratching up and riots
- 3:37Speaker 7: could be around the corner. What steps does the administration
- 3:40Speaker 7: have plans to try to unite America? Average people on
- 3:42Speaker 7: both political sides are so tired of fighting with each other.
- 3:45Speaker 7: And I think all the journalists in this room could
- 3:47Speaker 7: agree with me that we don't want to be part
- 3:49Speaker 7: of the problem. Don do you have any words to
- 3:52Speaker 7: unite America?
- 3:53Speaker 8: You know, I know you don't want to be a
- 3:55Speaker 8: part of the problem. And I think that's true of
- 3:56Speaker 8: a lot of you. I'm not sure it's true for everybody,
- 3:58Speaker 8: because the reporting over this is been one of the
- 4:00Speaker 8: biggest scandals I've ever seen in media. I've never seen
- 4:03Speaker 8: a case so misrepresented and misreported. When you have a
- 4:07Speaker 8: guy who is defending himself and is now being treated
- 4:09Speaker 8: by as some sort of federal assassin by so many
- 4:12Speaker 8: of the people in this room. What I first of all,
- 4:15Speaker 8: let me say about crime. You mentioned violence. One of
- 4:18Speaker 8: the things we're proudest about is that you saw violent
- 4:20Speaker 8: crime over the last year dropped by twenty percent. Why
- 4:23Speaker 8: is that dropped by twenty percent. Is it because we're
- 4:26Speaker 8: attacking our law enforcement officers, or is it because we
- 4:28Speaker 8: in the administration are empowering our law enforcement officers to
- 4:32Speaker 8: enforce the law. I think that's one of the ways
- 4:33Speaker 8: you take down the temperature is you make people feel
- 4:36Speaker 8: more secure and safe in their person and property. That's
- 4:39Speaker 8: why we care so much about protecting our law enforcement,
- 4:42Speaker 8: because it accrues to the benefit of the entire national community.
- 4:45Speaker 8: I think that we can absolutely talk about the ways
- 4:48Speaker 8: in which you know, we can try to we can
- 4:51Speaker 8: lower the temperature by discussing differences in a reasonable and
- 4:56Speaker 8: rational way. Again, I'm happy to talk with any Congressional
- 4:59Speaker 8: Democrat or any of you about our immigration policy, about
- 5:02Speaker 8: why I think it's necessary, about why I think it's
- 5:04Speaker 8: in the best interest in the country, About why the
- 5:06Speaker 8: President of the United States was elected to actually enforce
- 5:09Speaker 8: the border for the first time in at least four years.
- 5:12Speaker 8: So here's the problem. That's not the debate so many
- 5:15Speaker 8: people are having. They are actively covering for people who
- 5:19Speaker 8: are committing acts of violence against federal law enforcement. It
- 5:22Speaker 8: is preposterous. The way to take down the temperature is
- 5:25Speaker 8: to stop it. Have your debates about policy, Attack me,
- 5:28Speaker 8: attack the president the United States. Don't attack our law
- 5:31Speaker 8: enforcement officers. They are trying to do the job the
- 5:34Speaker 8: American people demanded that they do that. They are not
- 5:37Speaker 8: policy actors. They are enforcing the law. They should be
- 5:41Speaker 8: treated with a modicum of dignity and respect to the
- 5:45Speaker 8: fact that they're not. Is why incidents like yesterday happen.
- 5:48Speaker 8: The one final point I'll make about this is, Look,
- 5:51Speaker 8: there's a part of me that feels very, very sad
- 5:54Speaker 8: for this woman, not just because she lost her life,
- 5:56Speaker 8: but because I think she is a victim of left
- 5:58Speaker 8: wing ideology. What young mother shows up and decides they're
- 6:03Speaker 8: going to throw their car in front of ice officers
- 6:05Speaker 8: who are enforcing legitimate law. You've got to be a
- 6:09Speaker 8: little brainwashed to get to that point to where you're willing,
- 6:11Speaker 8: not not just to protest. That's fine, not peacefully protests,
- 6:15Speaker 8: but throw your vehicle in front of legitimate law enforcement
- 6:19Speaker 8: officers and drive your car into them. To get to
- 6:22Speaker 8: that point, you have to be I think, radicalized in
- 6:25Speaker 8: a very, very sad way. I certainly wish that she
- 6:28Speaker 8: hadn't got there. I know there's an ice officer right
- 6:30Speaker 8: now who very much wishes he was not put in
- 6:32Speaker 8: the position where he had to fire a gun to
- 6:34Speaker 8: defend his own life.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Now that's one hundred percent true, And what a shame,
- 6:38Speaker 4: What an absolute shame. I think this whole thing is unfortunate,
- 6:41Speaker 4: and I love the last part. I let that whole
- 6:42Speaker 4: clip play for that reason, because I think it's incredibly
- 6:45Speaker 4: important that we realize. I don't care what your beliefs are.
- 6:48Speaker 4: I really don't. I hope that you agree with me,
- 6:49Speaker 4: but hey, if you don't, that's fine, right. Like I said,
- 6:52Speaker 4: some people gotta eat steaks, some people gotta eat chicken,
- 6:54Speaker 4: some people gotta like the Yankee, some people gotta like
- 6:56Speaker 4: the Mets. All good, all gravy to me. However, when
- 7:00Speaker 4: you start doing things that are going to infringe upon
- 7:02Speaker 4: my ability to eat steak, or my kid's ability right
- 7:06Speaker 4: or my ability to earn the money I need to
- 7:08Speaker 4: buy my stake. Now, we've got a problem, Houston. That's
- 7:12Speaker 4: the issue that we have here. You could sit there
- 7:14Speaker 4: on the sidelines all you want and be like, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 4: F twelve and whatever else these anti police protesters do,
- 7:21Speaker 4: but to get in their face, to start throwing things
- 7:23Speaker 4: in front of them, to actively interfere with these investigations
- 7:27Speaker 4: or these enforcement operations. That's a legit crime. And we've
- 7:30Speaker 4: got so little enforcement of the laws that are on
- 7:34Speaker 4: the books that people are becoming emboldened or as the
- 7:37Speaker 4: Vice President just said, radicalized. When you whip yourself into
- 7:43Speaker 4: a frenzy. I've seen this my whole life. I've seen
- 7:45Speaker 4: people do it a bunch of times. People have predetermined outcomes.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Oftentimes people know they'll say things like, man, I got
- 7:55Speaker 4: a short fuse, I got a bad temper. That's really
- 7:58Speaker 4: just them telling themselves. I'm going to pretend to try.
- 8:02Speaker 4: I'm going to pretend to try, and then I'm going
- 8:04Speaker 4: to blow up. I'm just really going to allow my
- 8:07Speaker 4: anger to build up until it feels like it's right
- 8:09Speaker 4: to let it out on somebody that isn't some sort
- 8:14Speaker 4: of uncontrollable thing. We create the uncontrollable feeling within us.
- 8:20Speaker 4: And I noticed, because I've been on both sides of this,
- 8:23Speaker 4: I've done a lot of biting my tongue and deep
- 8:27Speaker 4: breathing and biting my knuckle because I'm thinking that these
- 8:32Speaker 4: things are going to curtail the inevitable. Truly, controlling yourself
- 8:37Speaker 4: is a decision you make way ahead of time, right,
- 8:42Speaker 4: kind of like you not to get to philosophical here,
- 8:43Speaker 4: but like Jesus, Jesus was real clear with his controlling himself.
- 8:47Speaker 4: He knew, real good, really well what he was doing
- 8:50Speaker 4: and how he was going to respond, and taught that
- 8:53Speaker 4: to the disciples. And it's got to be that way.
- 8:56Speaker 9: Now.
- 8:56Speaker 4: I'm not saying that I'm some sort of enlightened guru
- 8:58Speaker 4: and that man you can't mess with You can't mess
- 8:59Speaker 4: with me. Sure you can mess with me, absolutely you can.
- 9:01Speaker 4: I'm not saying that at all. And I am saying
- 9:03Speaker 4: that you know you can try and fail, Yes you can.
- 9:06Speaker 4: But by and large, most people know. These people didn't
- 9:10Speaker 4: go there to say I'm going to do my best
- 9:11Speaker 4: to be tolerant today and when things don't go my way,
- 9:15Speaker 4: well then I'm just gonna lose it. And run this
- 9:17Speaker 4: cop over. No, these are people that are so emotionally
- 9:20Speaker 4: invested in things. Kenny lain Porta right, they don't care.
- 9:25Speaker 4: This doesn't even concern them. This is literally someone else's fight,
- 9:31Speaker 4: and he's right this. I like that to use the
- 9:33Speaker 4: term radicalization because I joke around a lot and I
- 9:38Speaker 4: say I am a radical patriot, and it is tongue
- 9:43Speaker 4: in cheek, right. I've never even been to a protest
- 9:45Speaker 4: in my life. Yes, I share my opinions. Sometimes they're
- 9:49Speaker 4: very forceful, I doubt it. Usually they're they're kind of funny,
- 9:52Speaker 4: and they're pretty mainstream, common sense, but mainstream to conservatives, right,
- 9:57Speaker 4: mainstream to people who like to go to church and
- 9:59Speaker 4: are profan family and support the country and that type
- 10:02Speaker 4: of thing. If you believe that America is, you know,
- 10:06Speaker 4: guilty as sin forever and ever a man because of
- 10:09Speaker 4: stolen land and the indigenous people, then guess what again?
- 10:13Speaker 4: You were unwilling to move forward, unwilling to have a
- 10:16Speaker 4: peaceful future. You're looking for the fight, or like my
- 10:19Speaker 4: mommy used to say, band plato and you're gonna find
- 10:24Speaker 4: one because you're you're looking for it. And that's my point.
- 10:28Speaker 4: These are predetermined outcomes this woman, I can guarantee you.
- 10:32Speaker 4: In her ranting on the way there, or when she
- 10:35Speaker 4: saw something she didn't like, I'm sure she was saying, oh,
- 10:37Speaker 4: I just man one of these guys to one of
- 10:39Speaker 4: these days, I'm gonna end up running one of these over.
- 10:41Speaker 4: I'm sure she said that because she was already planning this.
- 10:44Speaker 4: People don't just lose it. And even if you did,
- 10:47Speaker 4: then you're a psycho. When you lose it and you
- 10:49Speaker 4: just start running cops over because they're doing their job,
- 10:54Speaker 4: whether you agree with their job or not. I mean,
- 10:58Speaker 4: you are just a crazy woman, period the end.
- 11:03Speaker 3: That's it.
- 11:04Speaker 4: I don't know what else to say or how else
- 11:05Speaker 4: to explain it. Again, those are my opinions. Maybe you
- 11:07Speaker 4: don't agree with them. Maybe you want to sit here
- 11:09Speaker 4: and be a bleeding heart, And that's okay, you're entitled to.
- 11:12Speaker 4: I don't mind that. And I'll still go out and
- 11:14Speaker 4: buy you a glass of wine and dance with you.
- 11:17Speaker 4: We'll have a good time, right, we'll go out and
- 11:20Speaker 4: we'll really enjoy ourselves.
- 11:22Speaker 3: But I.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Can't support or sit here and condone you're crazy and
- 11:29Speaker 4: say that you're crazy. He's okay, Now I'm gonna say
- 11:31Speaker 4: that you're crazy and that maybe I won't alienate you
- 11:33Speaker 4: now if you're too crazy like that lady, I'm not
- 11:35Speaker 4: buying her anything, right, We're not hanging out. But I
- 11:37Speaker 4: realize that there are people like I said the other day,
- 11:40Speaker 4: I saw a friend of mine, a very levelheaded friend
- 11:41Speaker 4: of mine, a guy who is a big supporter of
- 11:45Speaker 4: the Second Amendment. But when I say that, don't interpret
- 11:49Speaker 4: that as in his closet he has a maga hat.
- 11:52Speaker 4: He does not. He's a big supporter of the Second Amendment.
- 11:56Speaker 4: He's a union guy, he's a property owner, he's got
- 12:01Speaker 4: several investment properties. It's an intelligent guy by my standard.
- 12:05Speaker 4: I think he's a smart guy. But at the same time,
- 12:08Speaker 4: he believes that Ice is kidnapping people off the streets. Right.
- 12:13Speaker 4: He's bought into some of the rhetoric. You know why,
- 12:16Speaker 4: because my business is this one and his business is
- 12:21Speaker 4: doing electrical conduits, and God bless him, we need lots
- 12:24Speaker 4: of big, strong men to do those things that you're
- 12:28Speaker 4: not going to find me going into forty forty story
- 12:31Speaker 4: buildings and putting in electrical conduits. Right. So I could
- 12:34Speaker 4: try to reason with the guy, but ultimately it's not
- 12:38Speaker 4: my job to do your thinking right. If you're interested
- 12:40Speaker 4: in hearing what I have to say, listen to the show.
- 12:43Speaker 4: Call the show if you want to debate eight seven
- 12:45Speaker 4: seven Valds one, that's Valdesta with an S. I'm not
- 12:47Speaker 4: going to sit here and teach you how to think.
- 12:49Speaker 4: If you want to learn from me and my opinions
- 12:52Speaker 4: and my commentary, then you're welcome to. But that's not
- 12:55Speaker 4: my job. I'm not here to teach grown men how
- 12:57Speaker 4: to think. He's got his own life, he's making his
- 13:00Speaker 4: own money, he's got his own kids, just like me.
- 13:04Speaker 4: So when I see him, his birthday, my birthday, that's
- 13:07Speaker 4: my boy. We get into a problem. I got his back,
- 13:11Speaker 4: and I know full well he thinks that Trump is
- 13:14Speaker 4: a dictator that's kidnapping immigrants and hates us. And he
- 13:17Speaker 4: looks at me like, oh, the poor guy thinks I've
- 13:20Speaker 4: been duped, all right. He thinks I've been duped, that
- 13:23Speaker 4: I'm a sucker, and that I somehow think that Trump
- 13:26Speaker 4: cares about me, and I don't. I don't think any
- 13:29Speaker 4: politician cares about me. I don't think it's a politician's
- 13:31Speaker 4: a job to care. And that's a cynical view. I
- 13:34Speaker 4: know you're thinking, what's their job. Their job is to
- 13:36Speaker 4: make policy, debate policy, and do the work of the people.
- 13:40Speaker 4: You should care about your job, and maybe Visa v
- 13:43Speaker 4: care about humanity at large. But me personally, I know
- 13:47Speaker 4: they don't care about me because they don't know me.
- 13:50Speaker 4: And that's why peoples, Ah, these people don't care about you.
- 13:53Speaker 4: I know they don't care about me, and I don't
- 13:54Speaker 4: care that they care about me. I care that they
- 13:56Speaker 4: do their job conscientiously, that they don't act like this woman,
- 14:00Speaker 4: go off the deep end and ram their car into
- 14:02Speaker 4: people they disagree with. That's what I expect of my politicians,
- 14:06Speaker 4: that they're not going to be like AOC and start
- 14:08Speaker 4: crying doing this whole lot of crazy stuff that she does,
- 14:11Speaker 4: making up all these guentos, right, and that's what she does.
- 14:15Speaker 4: It's one emotional guilt trip after the next, with never
- 14:18Speaker 4: ever offering a solution, never ever offering anything of benefit,
- 14:21Speaker 4: pointing out problems that don't exist, creating problems. I mean,
- 14:27Speaker 4: let me see if I could just encapsulate what AOC
- 14:29Speaker 4: talks about. Right, Let's go back to twenty eighteen. She
- 14:32Speaker 4: was screaming about smog in the Bronx, the industrial buildings
- 14:36Speaker 4: and the smoke stacks in Hunt's point, causing asthma in
- 14:40Speaker 4: the bronx. It was a huge deal. She hasn't fixed
- 14:43Speaker 4: it yet. What else then she was screaming about, of
- 14:46Speaker 4: course the Green New Deal. We only have twelve years
- 14:49Speaker 4: left that she she herself is not having children because
- 14:54Speaker 4: she doesn't want to bring a child into this world
- 14:55Speaker 4: where there's only twelve years left. That was two thousand
- 14:59Speaker 4: and eight, right, so the clock is ticking AOC. What
- 15:04Speaker 4: else then she was screaming about. She's always screaming. She's
- 15:07Speaker 4: screaming at the border. She was screaming about you. She's
- 15:10Speaker 4: always screaming. Now she's screaming about Ice and and how
- 15:14Speaker 4: we are the unaccountable people, right? Ice? Is this evil
- 15:19Speaker 4: this evil thing? And listen, I'm not trying to defend Ice.
- 15:24Speaker 4: I'm trying to defend sanity. I'm trying to poke holes
- 15:28Speaker 4: in this weak argument that that she tries to make
- 15:33Speaker 4: that it's just like it's bad. It's not. You're not
- 15:36Speaker 4: just inherently bad because of because of Ice doesn't work
- 15:43Speaker 4: that way. I have another one from AOC. Let me
- 15:45Speaker 4: see if I find it. Let me see. Let me
- 15:47Speaker 4: check my sheet. I didn't print the sheet, so I
- 15:49Speaker 4: got to check on the computer. Stam By, how do
- 15:51Speaker 4: we do this like this boom looking at it? Easiest
- 15:54Speaker 4: by anti civilian force and no accountability. We just did
- 15:57Speaker 4: that one. What's the next one here? I mean, got
- 16:00Speaker 4: another one to bear with me. Come on, folks Live radio.
- 16:03Speaker 4: All right, here we go AOC on Capitol Hill with
- 16:05Speaker 4: protesters Trump is taking over and as well as economy
- 16:09Speaker 4: when ours is floundering. All right, we'll do that one
- 16:12Speaker 4: in the next segment, maybe because I want to do
- 16:13Speaker 4: some venezuela on the next segment. But bottom line here,
- 16:15Speaker 4: everybody's freaking out about the immigration police doing what they do.
- 16:20Speaker 4: You're entitled to whatever opinion you want to have, but
- 16:23Speaker 4: you're never entitled to run a cop over any cop,
- 16:26Speaker 4: not the FBI, not the Department of Homeland Security, not
- 16:29Speaker 4: the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, nobody. You're not allowed to
- 16:32Speaker 4: run people over, period, let alone the police that can
- 16:35Speaker 4: defend themselves with firepower. That's some crazy stuff right there. Anyway, amigos,
- 16:40Speaker 4: we're going to continue. The conversation is a lot more
- 16:42Speaker 4: I want to discuss. I wanted to keep it kind
- 16:44Speaker 4: of light and fluffy, but I'll leave that for later.
- 16:47Speaker 4: There was this funny video that I saw. It's an
- 16:49Speaker 4: AI cartoon and it opens up like the setup to
- 16:52Speaker 4: a joke with Nico Las Maduro and Sean Puff Daddy
- 16:56Speaker 4: Comb's Diddy, and they're in a jail cell. It's very funny.
- 16:59Speaker 4: I don't think i'll be able to play the clip
- 17:00Speaker 4: for you, but if you're interested. I did include it
- 17:02Speaker 4: in the video that I put on Instagram, only on Instagram,
- 17:05Speaker 4: so it might be on Facebook too, but I didn't
- 17:07Speaker 4: post it to the other social media because I had
- 17:09Speaker 4: to get into the studio. So if you want to
- 17:11Speaker 4: see that, go there and check it out. My handle
- 17:13Speaker 4: there is at rich Valdez, like it is on all
- 17:15Speaker 4: of the social media at rich Valdez. And of course
- 17:18Speaker 4: if you want to chat with me, you know the
- 17:19Speaker 4: number eight seven seven Valdez one. Keep it locked right here,
- 17:22Speaker 4: don't go anywhere.
- 17:23Speaker 5: This is America.
- 17:40Speaker 4: This is America, all right, I goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez,
- 17:51Speaker 4: keeping your company here, and I want to keep going.
- 17:53Speaker 4: I want to talk about the latest with Venezuela, and
- 17:57Speaker 4: there's plenty on the Venezuela front to talk about it.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Because every day. There's a new story, right. I think
- 18:02Speaker 4: I was sharing it the other night. Not sure if
- 18:05Speaker 4: I got too in depth with it, but I had
- 18:06Speaker 4: lunch today with a friend of mine who's from that
- 18:08Speaker 4: part of the world. It was his birthday the other day,
- 18:10Speaker 4: so I took him and his neighbor, who happens to
- 18:13Speaker 4: be the cousin of my friend Rubin, the Cuban who
- 18:15Speaker 4: came on the jet Ski twenty some one years ago.
- 18:18Speaker 4: And she's from Cuba as well and is very familiar
- 18:21Speaker 4: with the communism, and we were having this conversation, so
- 18:24Speaker 4: she was saying, look, you know, what's the good of
- 18:27Speaker 4: getting rid of Maludu if you're going to leave all
- 18:29Speaker 4: the rest of the Chaves regime that was there with
- 18:32Speaker 4: Madudo in place. And of course we already heard Marco
- 18:37Speaker 4: Rubio explain that it took precision and firepower and tons
- 18:41Speaker 4: of intelligence to be able to get Maludu. But I
- 18:44Speaker 4: think that's bureaucrats speak. My true belief. Here is what
- 18:48Speaker 4: I think, and i'll today he's lying, per se. I
- 18:50Speaker 4: do think all that was true, but I think there's
- 18:52Speaker 4: more to the story. And the more to the story
- 18:55Speaker 4: that I think exists here is this I believe that
- 18:59Speaker 4: this likely went something like this, and I mentioned this yesterday,
- 19:05Speaker 4: but I really do. I think that Hello, President Trump
- 19:08Speaker 4: on the phone with the drug dealer from Honduras, I
- 19:13Speaker 4: have some information for you, right, we did this whole
- 19:14Speaker 4: little thing, and he cuts a deal to get information.
- 19:18Speaker 4: He gives him the deal and he says, look, you
- 19:19Speaker 4: got to talk to Delsi Rodriguez, the vice president to Madudo.
- 19:22Speaker 4: She will set him up. She's thirsty for power and
- 19:25Speaker 4: she's happy to make money with you profiting from the
- 19:28Speaker 4: country's oil legitimately then trying to get a piece of
- 19:33Speaker 4: the cartel money from Maduro. I think she buys this
- 19:40Speaker 4: and he says, let's make a deal, and she's like, yeah, yeah,
- 19:42Speaker 4: whatever you need and it will cut you in. But
- 19:45Speaker 4: you guys got to go and there's some sort of
- 19:48Speaker 4: transition coming and you can run, right, So I think
- 19:50Speaker 4: it's kind of like, hey, look you run, you have
- 19:52Speaker 4: a clean election, and let's see what happens. Again, I'm
- 19:56Speaker 4: making all of this up, but this is how I
- 19:58Speaker 4: think it goes down. And she sets it up with
- 20:02Speaker 4: her people, right because her brother's like the head of
- 20:04Speaker 4: the Assembly and the guy that's you know, her left
- 20:07Speaker 4: hand man is the leader of the federal security forces
- 20:11Speaker 4: in Venezuela. So they set up Maluro so that he
- 20:15Speaker 4: could get locked up, him and his wife. They take
- 20:17Speaker 4: them out, nice, big figure head catch and they slide
- 20:21Speaker 4: into you know, the next position, and legitimately, now right,
- 20:26Speaker 4: with a pass, we don't have to do all the
- 20:29Speaker 4: bad things we were doing and whatever. Now the question is,
- 20:31Speaker 4: does their ideology run deep that they hate capitalists so
- 20:36Speaker 4: much that they're not willing to make a deal. I
- 20:40Speaker 4: think the answers know they're insomuch as I've seen China, right,
- 20:45Speaker 4: The Chinese love communism, but you know what else they love.
- 20:47Speaker 4: They love capitalism that props up their communism. Win win
- 20:52Speaker 4: for them, and I think Venezuela is going to do
- 20:54Speaker 4: the same thing. They're going to allow the Americans to
- 20:56Speaker 4: come and invest billions of dollars in infrastructure and refineries
- 20:59Speaker 4: and the ability to distribute all of that oil away
- 21:06Speaker 4: from our enemies, and they're going to just oversee the
- 21:12Speaker 4: production of it and get their peace. And I'm sure
- 21:16Speaker 4: if Trump has his way, which I hope he does,
- 21:19Speaker 4: the Venezuelan people are going to get a piece of
- 21:21Speaker 4: the pie. And that's a wonderful thing. But I have
- 21:24Speaker 4: some audio that I wanted to play for you because
- 21:26Speaker 4: a lot of people are talking about the issue of
- 21:29Speaker 4: Trump is stealing their oil and blah blah blah, and
- 21:32Speaker 4: all the Venezuelan people that I'm seeing, all of them,
- 21:35Speaker 4: they're all saying, who do you think's been stealing the
- 21:38Speaker 4: oil the last twenty seven years? It was the regime
- 21:41Speaker 4: giving it away to Cuba, giving it away to Russia,
- 21:43Speaker 4: and giving it away to Iran. And they've all seen
- 21:45Speaker 4: this and they're like, man, we've been tired of getting
- 21:47Speaker 4: robbed by these people. At least with the Americans, we're
- 21:49Speaker 4: going to make some money. And I thought that is
- 21:51Speaker 4: a profound of a statement. And after I'd seen it,
- 21:54Speaker 4: like the thirteenth fourteenth time from all these different people
- 21:56Speaker 4: from all over the world and including from Venezuela, I said,
- 21:59Speaker 4: you know what people need to hear. Let's check this out.
- 22:01Speaker 9: We don't have electricity lie in your area Monday, Wednesday
- 22:06Speaker 9: and Friday. You are not going to have electricity in
- 22:08Speaker 9: your house from six am to three pm and on
- 22:11Speaker 9: Wednesday for three pm to nine pm. And we live
- 22:14Speaker 9: with that. For sol On Simes, with the water, the
- 22:17Speaker 9: water is coming in just one hour, twelve to one.
- 22:20Speaker 9: You need to take all the water that you need
- 22:22Speaker 9: at the time to drink, to clean the shower, to
- 22:25Speaker 9: do everything. In one hour, we won't need to say
- 22:28Speaker 9: goodbye anymore to our families in the airport. Tell them
- 22:31Speaker 9: see you soon, knowing that it's a lie, because you
- 22:34Speaker 9: don't know all Lord, it will happen until you see
- 22:37Speaker 9: them again. We celebrat them because we grow up normalizing
- 22:41Speaker 9: things that could never be normal, like going to the
- 22:45Speaker 9: supermarket and don't find.
- 22:46Speaker 4: Nothing on it.
- 22:47Speaker 9: They have all the money that you have in your pocket,
- 22:51Speaker 9: but you want to buy food and it's no food
- 22:52Speaker 9: in there, knowing that you need to go and do
- 22:55Speaker 9: lines at four am in the morning, huge lines to
- 22:58Speaker 9: get a back with food, knowing that there's no medicines
- 23:03Speaker 9: in the pharmacy and you need to find antibiotics. In Facebook,
- 23:08Speaker 9: Narco terrorism, corruption, he's thought billions of dollars. He killed
- 23:12Speaker 9: out a bunch of innocent peoples in protests, he put
- 23:16Speaker 9: on jail. He torture.
- 23:19Speaker 3: Venezuela have one.
- 23:19Speaker 9: Of the biggest torture places recruitments in the world. Yeah,
- 23:25Speaker 9: that very old wise, he's still doing that. He destroyed
- 23:28Speaker 9: every democratic institution on the chandistates in Venezuela, we vot,
- 23:33Speaker 9: we vot. We have presidential election and he'll lose and
- 23:36Speaker 9: he don't want to leave the power, So what's the
- 23:39Speaker 9: other way to take a note. I am more than
- 23:41Speaker 9: happy because we try everything. This was like our last hope.
- 23:45Speaker 9: This is what we was wearing for and finally happened.
- 23:48Speaker 9: And I am more happy because I feel was a
- 23:53Speaker 9: smooth intervention. I thought was going to be more chaotic
- 23:58Speaker 9: like with Kanamage years ago. But no, they'll reach two
- 24:02Speaker 9: an in the morning, by three am. They tell them
- 24:05Speaker 9: an old they don't kill nobody. They don't. It's not
- 24:08Speaker 9: even a sea filled person dead. So yeah, I am
- 24:12Speaker 9: love of Pegopole asking about the all the Venezuelans know
- 24:16Speaker 9: that Truant is doing this because the oil. We know this.
- 24:20Speaker 9: We know that True is not doing this because I
- 24:23Speaker 9: love Venezuelans and I care so much about them. We know,
- 24:26Speaker 9: we know that it's about the oil. But we are
- 24:29Speaker 9: right now giving oil to China and Russia and we
- 24:32Speaker 9: don't see benefits from it. The country is destroyed. We
- 24:35Speaker 9: have nothing. We need to live and run away and
- 24:38Speaker 9: live somewhere else because there's no opportunities there. If the
- 24:42Speaker 9: United States want to go back and do it, but
- 24:45Speaker 9: it's China or Russia whatever doing right now, go back
- 24:49Speaker 9: because when the United States was there and was Haliburton
- 24:52Speaker 9: and all these American companies in Venezuela, we were rich.
- 24:57Speaker 9: We have money, we have opportunity, this, we have everything.
- 25:01Speaker 9: All the Venezuelans that leave the country because this man
- 25:04Speaker 9: and this man regiment can go back home. You don't
- 25:08Speaker 9: have idea of all the Venezuelans that when I go
- 25:11Speaker 9: back home, you think like we love that. In Trinida,
- 25:15Speaker 9: they tell us Venice go back home. Oh, they treat
- 25:19Speaker 9: us back. It's not just in Trinida. Sorry, this is
- 25:21Speaker 9: like across the war. Because I understand.
- 25:24Speaker 4: We are everywhere.
- 25:26Speaker 9: We are everywhere because we was forced to be everywhere
- 25:30Speaker 9: except home. I had more comments to answer, but a
- 25:33Speaker 9: lot of the questions are about the ways. So I
- 25:36Speaker 9: want to tell you this. Put yourself on the shoes
- 25:39Speaker 9: of an actual Venezuelan person. Put yourself and my dad
- 25:43Speaker 9: shoes that works two years to build something, that study
- 25:48Speaker 9: hard and work hard, and then one day for the
- 25:50Speaker 9: other loose everything, have no job and have no option
- 25:54Speaker 9: because at his age, he cannot leave the country and
- 25:57Speaker 9: start to work somewhere else because is an old person, right.
- 26:01Speaker 9: He don't lose just his job. He don't lose just
- 26:04Speaker 9: the money. He lose his family because he can see
- 26:07Speaker 9: his daughter just one time per year, because his doesna
- 26:10Speaker 9: need to leave the country to look for a better future.
- 26:13Speaker 9: And this is not I am not talking about my dad.
- 26:16Speaker 9: I am talking about the reality of every single Venezuelan person,
- 26:21Speaker 9: like that of the person that clean your house, the
- 26:24Speaker 9: judior types driver that probably is an engineer, a lawyer,
- 26:28Speaker 9: a doctor. That's that reality was.
- 26:32Speaker 4: So there you have it. Now this girl, her name
- 26:35Speaker 4: is Heroni Hernandez. She is exiled from Venezuela living in Trinidad.
- 26:40Speaker 4: You could probably tell by her accent. And I found
- 26:44Speaker 4: this to be fascinating. And again I could have played
- 26:46Speaker 4: a shorter clip, but I wanted you to hear everything
- 26:47Speaker 4: she was talking about. And she's got all these people
- 26:49Speaker 4: asking her because they know that she knows because she
- 26:52Speaker 4: recently left. And I thought to myself, my goodness, there's
- 26:57Speaker 4: not enough of an emphasis on hearing their stories, the
- 27:02Speaker 4: Venezuelans stories. It seems like you turn on the news
- 27:06Speaker 4: or even social media, and what you see is a
- 27:09Speaker 4: bunch of people that I don't know, four or five
- 27:11Speaker 4: months ago were wearing the Free Palestine stuff and the
- 27:14Speaker 4: Kafia around their neck, and a little bit before that
- 27:17Speaker 4: they were wearing all black and saying that no kings
- 27:20Speaker 4: and Trump is a fascist. And it's the same malcontent
- 27:24Speaker 4: Americans many times white liberals, and nothing wrong with white people.
- 27:28Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, as a fair description, it wasn't
- 27:32Speaker 4: large amounts of people of color as they like to say.
- 27:35Speaker 4: But you get some of that right, some of the
- 27:37Speaker 4: anti Ice protests, and it came from people from Mexico
- 27:41Speaker 4: that were going in right, going in, the guys waving
- 27:44Speaker 4: the Mexican flags, and they were big time hating on
- 27:50Speaker 4: the United States. Say they want to take back California
- 27:53Speaker 4: right to become part of Mexico again. Bottom line though,
- 27:56Speaker 4: is these people, none of them, like she said, they're
- 27:59Speaker 4: not Venice. And I think it's a worthy exercise to
- 28:05Speaker 4: listen to what the Venezuelans have to say so that
- 28:08Speaker 4: we can actually understand their plight, so we can understand
- 28:11Speaker 4: their position. Because what she said, I've heard a dozen
- 28:14Speaker 4: videos saying the same thing. People are saying, you know what.
- 28:17Speaker 4: There's a girl I just saw a little while ago.
- 28:20Speaker 4: This girl is an influencer in the fitness space. She's
- 28:23Speaker 4: in great shape. She I had never seen her before,
- 28:26Speaker 4: but I guess you know, the algorithm fed me her video,
- 28:28Speaker 4: and I saw all her other videos, and she had
- 28:31Speaker 4: hundreds of other videos. None of them were about social
- 28:34Speaker 4: commentary or culture or anything like that. They were all
- 28:37Speaker 4: about if you want to grow your this muscle, you
- 28:39Speaker 4: do this exercise right, all about fitness. And she was
- 28:44Speaker 4: fed up and wanted to make a video saying, you know,
- 28:47Speaker 4: everybody's commenting about Venezuela, please stop. You have no idea.
- 28:51Speaker 4: You're saying that this is all about as if it's
- 28:53Speaker 4: some secret that Trump is after the oil. He said
- 28:56Speaker 4: it the day he did it, that he was after
- 28:58Speaker 4: the oil. They know it because they know that's their
- 29:01Speaker 4: number one commodity, the number one resource in the world.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Right they produce more of it than anybody. And you
- 29:08Speaker 4: heard it right here from her. The Venezuelans aren't interested
- 29:12Speaker 4: in doing business with China, Russia and Iran because they're
- 29:17Speaker 4: getting ripped off by them. They would much rather deal
- 29:20Speaker 4: with the United States. And in this particular case, she
- 29:22Speaker 4: said Halliburton. She said she misses the American companies. This
- 29:27Speaker 4: is why I say, look, you got to listen to
- 29:29Speaker 4: these people. Clearly, the people, at least the majority from
- 29:32Speaker 4: what I can see, is interested in a democratized society
- 29:38Speaker 4: that thrives on capitalism. Now it's a nationalized industry, so
- 29:41Speaker 4: there's going to be a lot of changes there. And
- 29:42Speaker 4: they don't really have any real hardcore fiscal conservatives or
- 29:46Speaker 4: a free market conservatives. They have some social conservatives. I
- 29:49Speaker 4: would say Maluu as we've heard lately, is one of those.
- 29:53Speaker 4: But the opposition Maria Corina Machado, she's not right. She's
- 29:58Speaker 4: a big, a big liberal when it comes to those things.
- 30:02Speaker 4: So they've got to figure out what direction they want
- 30:04Speaker 4: to go in and who their candidate is going to
- 30:06Speaker 4: be and go in that direction. There was also the
- 30:09Speaker 4: interim president who won, Juan Guaydoon, who I think he
- 30:12Speaker 4: was a little less a little less than a Machado.
- 30:17Speaker 4: But point being, the point that I'm trying to make
- 30:19Speaker 4: here is we've got to listen to the people. Right,
- 30:22Speaker 4: we have a government of the people, for the people,
- 30:24Speaker 4: by the people, and they deserve nothing different than that. Now,
- 30:28Speaker 4: Secretary Rubio he made some comments today and I grabbed them.
- 30:32Speaker 4: Hopefully we can I see them on my sheet. Can
- 30:35Speaker 4: we play those with Secretary Rubio having a plan, because
- 30:39Speaker 4: I think that's an important one. Listen to this, No,
- 30:43Speaker 4: not playing Okay, so we don't have that. All right,
- 30:46Speaker 4: Then let's go to Carlos Jimenez, the congressman from Florida,
- 30:51Speaker 4: who's commenting on Cuba, because I think that's an interesting take,
- 30:55Speaker 4: because that's the next logical question for a lot of
- 30:57Speaker 4: people is what's going on with Cuba? Will Cuba rise,
- 31:03Speaker 4: will Cuba fall? What is going to be the next
- 31:05Speaker 4: step here? Congressman Carlos Heiman is go ahead.
- 31:08Speaker 3: How close is Cuba to collapse?
- 31:11Speaker 1: Pretty close. They can't keep the power on, they can't
- 31:14Speaker 1: feed their people, they don't have any medicine. Venezuela is
- 31:17Speaker 1: one of the leading sources of income. Venezuela was gifting
- 31:21Speaker 1: Cuba billions of dollars in oil. They would then sell
- 31:24Speaker 1: it on the market for currency. Now that's being negated. Unfortunately,
- 31:29Speaker 1: Mexico is trying to make that up. So Mexico is
- 31:32Speaker 1: now trying to prop up the Cuban regime. Look, Cuba
- 31:35Speaker 1: has been under a communist dictatorship for over sixty years.
- 31:39Speaker 1: It's time for the people of Cuba will be free too.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Cuba is going to be a tougher nut though than Venezuela.
- 31:44Speaker 1: Cuba doesn't have the natural resources that Venezuela does. Venezuela
- 31:48Speaker 1: can lift itself up fairly quickly with the resources that
- 31:53Speaker 1: it has, the riches that it has. Cuba doesn't have
- 31:56Speaker 1: that advantage, but it does have Cubans that live outside
- 31:59Speaker 1: of you that are willing to go back, reinvest in
- 32:02Speaker 1: the country and the infrastructure, and bring that country back off.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Now, in theory, the Russians and the Cubans and the
- 32:10Speaker 4: Iranians and the Chinese are not getting their cheap oil anymore. However,
- 32:15Speaker 4: with a caveat, I'm going to say they've been using
- 32:17Speaker 4: these ghost ships, putting different labels on the hulls of
- 32:20Speaker 4: these ships to obscure their true identity to sneak the
- 32:24Speaker 4: oil out, like saying, you know, yeah, we're an oil tanker,
- 32:27Speaker 4: but we're actually going to Norway, or we're going here,
- 32:30Speaker 4: We're going somewhere we're supposed to go, but they're actually
- 32:33Speaker 4: going to China. They're actually going somewhere else. These ghost
- 32:36Speaker 4: ships have been faking out the US military, and they
- 32:39Speaker 4: caught a few of them in the last couple of days,
- 32:41Speaker 4: especially last night overnight. Vice President jd Vance was talking
- 32:44Speaker 4: about that on Fox Business Channel. Check this out.
- 32:47Speaker 8: It was a fake Russian oil tanker. They basically tried
- 32:49Speaker 8: to pretend to be a Russian oil taker in an
- 32:51Speaker 8: effort to avoid the sanctions regime. Way that we control
- 32:54Speaker 8: Venezuela is we control the purse strings, we control the
- 32:57Speaker 8: energy resources, and we tell the regime you're allowed to
- 32:59Speaker 8: sell the oil so long as you serve America's national interest.
- 33:03Speaker 8: You're not allowed to sell it if you can't serve
- 33:05Speaker 8: America's national interest. And that's how we exert incredible pressure
- 33:08Speaker 8: on that country without wasting a single American live.
- 33:12Speaker 4: It's what they're calling the don Roe doctrine, right, the
- 33:15Speaker 4: Monroe doctrine by Donald Trump, no forever wars in and out,
- 33:21Speaker 4: massive military strength, hopefully you don't need to use it,
- 33:24Speaker 4: and when you use it, you use it quick and fast.
- 33:28Speaker 4: It's been working for him so far where we have
- 33:30Speaker 4: not been embroiled in any forever wars. Things are looking
- 33:34Speaker 4: on the up and up with the economy straight ahead.
- 33:37Speaker 4: We're going to talk about the economy and a few
- 33:39Speaker 4: other things. But I also want to give you a
- 33:41Speaker 4: clip that I've got. This is a great one. We
- 33:43Speaker 4: talked about Cuba, we're talking about Venezuela, but what about Colombia. Right, Well,
- 33:48Speaker 4: the President of Columbia, Gustavo Petro, he was bragging about
- 33:53Speaker 4: a phone call that he had with El Trompito. Donaldis magnus,
- 33:57Speaker 4: the forty fifth and forty seventh President of these United
- 34:00Speaker 4: States and Presidente and man, you would have thought he
- 34:03Speaker 4: was a big fan of Trumps. More on that straight ahead.
- 34:07Speaker 4: I'm Rich Valdez.
- 34:09Speaker 3: This is America, the forty fifth President. Donald Trump thinks
- 34:33Speaker 3: it's an honor to speak with Rich Valdez. Oh, very good.
- 34:41Speaker 3: The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
- 34:46Speaker 3: of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez, all.
- 34:51Speaker 4: Right, and he goes. We continue the conversation, and I
- 34:54Speaker 4: want to get into this this evening, because well, this
- 34:58Speaker 4: was a very interesting thing that went down. Right the
- 35:01Speaker 4: President of Colombia, he's talking about how great it was
- 35:07Speaker 4: that he got a call from the President of these
- 35:10Speaker 4: United States and he got invited to the White House.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Now this plays in Spanish, I'll translate a little bit
- 35:16Speaker 4: of it, but I want you to hear the energy,
- 35:18Speaker 4: the enthusiasm. He's trying to be cynical and snide, because again,
- 35:22Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, he gave the same exact
- 35:24Speaker 4: speech that Nicolas Maduro gave right which is where he said,
- 35:28Speaker 4: bang gun for me. Who remembers that? I remember? And
- 35:33Speaker 4: he basically said, come and get me, Come and get me, cowards,
- 35:35Speaker 4: I'm right here. Their white house in Venezuela is called
- 35:40Speaker 4: the Meta Florida's Palace, and he said, I can tell
- 35:44Speaker 4: you Mina Florida. I'm here in Meta Florida's. It was
- 35:48Speaker 4: so funny. And the next thing, you know, in all
- 35:49Speaker 4: the videos, you know, they showed the troops coming in
- 35:51Speaker 4: and taking them out in handcuffs, YadA, YadA, YadA, and
- 35:54Speaker 4: it's just poetic justice there. But this guy said the
- 35:58Speaker 4: same thing, and now he's changing his tune. Listen to
- 36:03Speaker 4: Columbian President Gustavo Petro.
- 36:05Speaker 10: Those Corsas Venezuela tema Laco Traffico let s la si
- 36:13Speaker 10: Fras podcast on Mosque Repettio Ki.
- 36:18Speaker 4: He says two things that we talked about Venezuela and
- 36:22Speaker 4: narco terrorism, and he says, I'm here because I'm being
- 36:26Speaker 4: accused for esse.
- 36:28Speaker 10: Be sindicasi jo jo anti milda.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Why why would I be lying or involved in any
- 36:37Speaker 4: of this when I've spent the last twenty years risking
- 36:40Speaker 4: my life against these drug cartels and these powers.
- 36:45Speaker 10: In politico sios.
- 36:48Speaker 4: And the politicians that are allied with them.
- 36:53Speaker 10: And I told Trump mosquill alestado La Florida was int Dia.
- 37:02Speaker 4: And he said, I told Trump, listen, a lot of
- 37:05Speaker 4: the politicians that show up at Columbia, they're from Florida
- 37:09Speaker 4: and from Washington. He's basically saying that these guys have
- 37:13Speaker 4: a relationship with narco terrorists, American politicians from Florida and
- 37:20Speaker 4: from DCS. And those are the two things that he
- 37:32Speaker 4: spoke about with President Trump. And he went on later
- 37:37Speaker 4: to say that he was invited to the White House
- 37:41Speaker 4: and that he's happily going to show up there. And
- 37:43Speaker 4: he's saying all of this because he's trying to make
- 37:47Speaker 4: it seem like, look, look, look, you guys think we're
- 37:50Speaker 4: getting invaded. I just got invited to the White House.
- 37:52Speaker 4: But my new boy, as far as my new homie,
- 37:54Speaker 4: El Trompito, now President Trump went on to say it
- 37:59Speaker 4: was an on to speak with you, or tweeted something
- 38:01Speaker 4: like I just got off the phone with whatever President Petro,
- 38:04Speaker 4: it was an honor to speak with him. And he
- 38:06Speaker 4: opens with that saying President Trump said it wasn'n honor
- 38:12Speaker 4: to speak with me. And I know President Trump is
- 38:16Speaker 4: a being polite, but b he knows exactly what he's saying,
- 38:19Speaker 4: and this stuff isn't writing. He's being respectful, just like
- 38:22Speaker 4: when he says that these are intelligent people, they're strong leaders,
- 38:28Speaker 4: all the things he says about about Chi Jinping and
- 38:31Speaker 4: Vladimir Putin. You've got to appeal to that sense of
- 38:37Speaker 4: self that they have, where you know, people want to
- 38:40Speaker 4: hear good things about themselves. You got to make them
- 38:42Speaker 4: feel good. It's like telling people, oh my gosh, your
- 38:43Speaker 4: kids are so handsome, your kids are so beautiful, What
- 38:46Speaker 4: a great family you have. Who's not going to take
- 38:49Speaker 4: that the right way? Everybody takes it the right way
- 38:51Speaker 4: because people love that stuff. So he's going on and
- 38:54Speaker 4: on and about that, and it makes me think, how
- 38:55Speaker 4: big is this web? Right? So, did Trump have a
- 38:58Speaker 4: less public conversation with him and say listen, or maybe
- 39:01Speaker 4: it was he's out there. Maybe it's somebody else, Maybe
- 39:03Speaker 4: it was Marco Rubio indicating that listen, if you don't
- 39:12Speaker 4: help us, you're next. And of course he takes his
- 39:16Speaker 4: posture very aggressively in front of his people. You know, bangang,
- 39:20Speaker 4: poor me, geto. You know that I'm right here, Come
- 39:23Speaker 4: and get me. But when he gets a little bit
- 39:26Speaker 4: of a accolades from the President for you know, just
- 39:30Speaker 4: saying it was an honor to speak with the guy,
- 39:32Speaker 4: now he's all honky dory with the President and he's
- 39:34Speaker 4: got the people clapping. So I wonder what information did
- 39:37Speaker 4: he give. What did he tell Trump he would help
- 39:40Speaker 4: him do? And why didn't he tell him go to hell? Right?
- 39:43Speaker 4: Or is he playing the game? Is he going to
- 39:45Speaker 4: go there and say, look, I'm with you man, I'm
- 39:47Speaker 4: here to fight drug trafficking. I'm not a crazy lefty socialist.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Oh wait, yes i am. So you can never really
- 39:53Speaker 4: trust a crazy lefty socialist, right, You've got to say,
- 39:56Speaker 4: hold on a second, let me let me see what
- 39:58Speaker 4: they have to say. And like you know, Trump's always saying,
- 40:00Speaker 4: he's look, can't we get alone? I think it's great?
- 40:02Speaker 4: Is this something wrong with getting along? And I agree
- 40:05Speaker 4: it's a good idea to get along with your adversaries.
- 40:07Speaker 4: It's a better idea to get along with them and
- 40:09Speaker 4: try and kind of deal with them than it is
- 40:11Speaker 4: to fight them. I get that. It seems to be
- 40:16Speaker 4: working pretty well. And the evidence, well, we've got a report.
- 40:21Speaker 4: Not only is our GDP up and our stock market
- 40:23Speaker 4: up and so many different things are up, but now
- 40:26Speaker 4: we've got a pretty positive economic report. I've got this
- 40:30Speaker 4: report from CNBC, and this is enlightening and also encouraging.
- 40:36Speaker 4: Listen to this.
- 40:37Speaker 2: Ritsav of the US economy what green Span called with
- 40:40Speaker 2: special sauce. Well, this is the third quarter preliminary. There
- 40:43Speaker 2: will be changes.
- 40:44Speaker 4: Four point nine.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Percent, extremely close to estimates.
- 40:48Speaker 4: And a really solid number.
- 40:51Speaker 3: In the rear view mirror.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Three point three becomes four point one for the last
- 40:55Speaker 2: quarter's final So four point nine wow, you have to
- 40:59Speaker 2: go a long way back to find a higher number.
- 41:01Speaker 4: We have to go all the way back to the
- 41:03Speaker 4: third quarter of twenty twenty. Productivity is great, and now
- 41:07Speaker 4: he's talking about economic productivity going up to four point
- 41:11Speaker 4: nine percent, and that is again that hasn't happened in
- 41:16Speaker 4: six years, or just about six years, just under six
- 41:21Speaker 4: years that's the entire Biden administration. Literally, the last time
- 41:25Speaker 4: Trump was in office was the last time we saw
- 41:27Speaker 4: this type of economic productivity. Not a bad thing, not
- 41:31Speaker 4: a bad thing.
- 41:33Speaker 2: And if we look at unit labor costs, unit labor
- 41:36Speaker 2: costs come in well one point nine down one point nine.
- 41:40Speaker 2: That's a minus sign. They are lower. Unit labor costs
- 41:44Speaker 2: are lower. That's always good news. And in the rear
- 41:46Speaker 2: view mirror, the one percent to the upside becomes minus
- 41:50Speaker 2: two point nine to the downside is costs drop. And finally,
- 41:54Speaker 2: on the trade balance, which we know is going to
- 41:56Speaker 2: be a deficit, we're expecting a number a round fifty.
- 42:01Speaker 4: So that's it. Things are going better in the economy, slowly,
- 42:06Speaker 4: but surely, I'm going to say, and who are gonna
- 42:09Speaker 4: blame that on Biden? No, of course not. So things
- 42:13Speaker 4: are looking up now. I want to continue our conversation.
- 42:17Speaker 4: There's still so many things I want to get to,
- 42:18Speaker 4: but I feel like this theme, this larger theme that
- 42:21Speaker 4: we have here of the events from yesterday seem to
- 42:25Speaker 4: be overshadowing things. But there's still a lot that went
- 42:27Speaker 4: on today. Because this anti ice agenda needs to stop.
- 42:32Speaker 4: This woman's dead, and people need to look. I don't
- 42:34Speaker 4: want to sound harsh or mean. What she did was
- 42:37Speaker 4: wrong and she paid the price with her life. What
- 42:41Speaker 4: Tim Walls did is wrong, and he's paying the price
- 42:43Speaker 4: with not running again for governor. I think some people
- 42:46Speaker 4: think that's not enough. We need to get a grip
- 42:50Speaker 4: on things as a society. I think we need to
- 42:53Speaker 4: be a little bit more like Ronald Reagan called us
- 42:55Speaker 4: to be informed patriots. We have to be informed. We
- 43:00Speaker 4: have to know what's going on, and not just for
- 43:02Speaker 4: the point of arguing. Right, some people just like to
- 43:04Speaker 4: argue for the sake of arguing. And listen, you're allowed
- 43:07Speaker 4: to write. I have to stand by allowing people. You know,
- 43:10Speaker 4: the Voltaire I'm not a big Voltaire fan, but his
- 43:13Speaker 4: famous saying I will defend what you have to saving
- 43:16Speaker 4: if I don't agree with you, because he would lose
- 43:20Speaker 4: some free speech, and so do I. And I have
- 43:23Speaker 4: to say, I was looking at a comment before on
- 43:26Speaker 4: one of my Facebook posts here and let me see
- 43:29Speaker 4: if I can pull it up real quick, because I
- 43:30Speaker 4: thought it was interesting. Let me see here.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Here it is.
- 43:39Speaker 4: So I posted a video of the car the rear
- 43:44Speaker 4: view right where the car goes after the cop and
- 43:47Speaker 4: then somebody for the sake, I'm going to say of
- 43:49Speaker 4: propaganda response to somebody else that's on here. A woman
- 43:52Speaker 4: named Jody Henman. Shout out to Jody. She says, leaving
- 43:56Speaker 4: the car in park would have prevented the shooting. And
- 43:58Speaker 4: she's right. Had this woman when they said stop the
- 44:00Speaker 4: car and get out, she would have put that car
- 44:02Speaker 4: and park and gotten out, she'd be okay, right, she
- 44:06Speaker 4: would have gotten locked up and had her day in
- 44:08Speaker 4: court and whatever. But guess what, and likely nothing would
- 44:13Speaker 4: have happened. If we're being frank right, They probably would
- 44:15Speaker 4: have put handcuffs on her, called the local police department
- 44:18Speaker 4: saying there she's obstructing, and they might have given her
- 44:22Speaker 4: some sort of federal charge. But I'm pretty sure she
- 44:24Speaker 4: would have probably just gotten like a disorderly person's charge
- 44:27Speaker 4: from the locals. And guess what the locals were not
- 44:29Speaker 4: going to do and give her any charges. They were
- 44:31Speaker 4: going to cut her loose, say right, lady, just stay
- 44:32Speaker 4: out of their way if if they even say that.
- 44:36Speaker 4: But no, she decided to point the car right at
- 44:39Speaker 4: the cop, turned the wheel toward the cop, hit the gas.
- 44:43Speaker 4: He decided to pull out his gun and lick off
- 44:45Speaker 4: three shots. And then another gentleman here comments on miss
- 44:50Speaker 4: Hinman's comment, mister Marquez, Todd Marquez, and he says, so
- 44:56Speaker 4: would properly trained agents. There are several law enforcement officer
- 45:00Speaker 4: sitting in prison for doing this exact same thing. Under
- 45:03Speaker 4: no circumstances does an officer have the right to claim
- 45:06Speaker 4: self defense when he placed himself in harm's way. Now,
- 45:09Speaker 4: this is clearly wrong. And I don't care if Todd
- 45:12Speaker 4: is a cop or not. I can tell you at
- 45:14Speaker 4: least by the laws in the state of New York,
- 45:16Speaker 4: in the state in New Jersey, cops put themselves in
- 45:19Speaker 4: danger all the time. It's literally what they're trained to do.
- 45:23Speaker 4: And you do so, you do dangerous things as carefully
- 45:26Speaker 4: as possible. And this cop was standing in the right place.
- 45:30Speaker 4: She positioned her vehicle to go after him. He got
- 45:35Speaker 4: out of the way and defended himself, and he did
- 45:37Speaker 4: get hit. You've seen the video. He gets hit, he
- 45:40Speaker 4: slides to the side. If he had not slid to
- 45:43Speaker 4: the side, he would have been hit and he would
- 45:45Speaker 4: have flown instead. He kind of got hit on the
- 45:48Speaker 4: side because he was already shifting out of the way,
- 45:52Speaker 4: and anyway, he goes on, mister Marquez, before I get
- 45:55Speaker 4: it to that, and he says, under no circumstances does
- 45:58Speaker 4: an officer have the right to claim self defense when
- 46:00Speaker 4: he placed himself in harms way, that's a lie. Then
- 46:04Speaker 4: he says, next, it's clear the agent reached into the
- 46:07Speaker 4: vehicle in an aggressive manner. Now that is the other
- 46:09Speaker 4: agent that was trying to get her to stop aggressive manner. Yeah,
- 46:13Speaker 4: cops get aggressive, they use force. It's called the use
- 46:16Speaker 4: of force. It's literally guidelines on it. What's going on here,
- 46:19Speaker 4: mister Marcus, you missed that day in the police academy. Anyway,
- 46:22Speaker 4: let's continue and if you're around, sir, give me a call.
- 46:26Speaker 4: Eight seven seven Valdez won. But it's got to be soon.
- 46:30Speaker 4: I'm not going to talk about this forever. Then he
- 46:32Speaker 4: goes on says, truth be told. This lady was acting
- 46:36Speaker 4: in self defense. Defense. So now we call resisting arrest
- 46:40Speaker 4: acting in self defense. Imagine if every single person that
- 46:43Speaker 4: was ever arrested by the police, when the police decide
- 46:47Speaker 4: to use force, and they say, no, I was just
- 46:50Speaker 4: defending myself. Ah no, it's not assault on it off,
- 46:53Speaker 4: I'm just defending myself. No, I was a resisting arrest,
- 46:56Speaker 4: its defending myself. No, it's not felony, evading an evading capture.
- 47:01Speaker 4: I was running away. I was scared. Are you for real,
- 47:04Speaker 4: mister Marcus? I mean, really, what type of cush are
- 47:08Speaker 4: you smoking? Then he goes on, Uh, this agent is
- 47:15Speaker 4: a murderer who deserves the death penalty for his crimes
- 47:19Speaker 4: and stupidity. Two exclamation points. Then he goes on, two
- 47:23Speaker 4: of the three shots were fired when the agent was
- 47:25Speaker 4: standing beside the car. Yes, that's right. Just so you know,
- 47:29Speaker 4: mister Marcus, you do not unholster your weapon in any
- 47:34Speaker 4: of these fifty states with the intention of issuing a
- 47:41Speaker 4: less than lethal dose of force. All right, did you
- 47:46Speaker 4: get that? Cop takes out their gun, they're going to
- 47:51Speaker 4: kill you. Cop takes out a taser, they're using less
- 47:55Speaker 4: than lethal force. Cop takes out a baton, same thing.
- 48:00Speaker 4: Cop takes out oh see, or pepper spray. Same thing.
- 48:04Speaker 4: Cop takes out the gun. Now, I know there are
- 48:07Speaker 4: some guidelines in some departments that say if you're a
- 48:09Speaker 4: smaller officer, and some females have done this, if they're
- 48:12Speaker 4: on a stop alone, they may pull out their gun
- 48:16Speaker 4: as a precaution, but typically they're you know, they can
- 48:19Speaker 4: hold you at gunpoint. But again the intention is I'm
- 48:22Speaker 4: going to kill you if you threaten, and they do
- 48:25Speaker 4: that because they're in fear of their life. Right. You're
- 48:27Speaker 4: a five foot three cop, one hundred and ten pounds,
- 48:29Speaker 4: you're waiting for backup doing a stop on a highway,
- 48:33Speaker 4: and the person in the front seat six foot seven bodybuilder,
- 48:37Speaker 4: just making an example. You know what, do you start
- 48:41Speaker 4: sit in the car? I don't want to sit in
- 48:42Speaker 4: the car. All right, Well, guess what I'm gonna pull
- 48:44Speaker 4: my gun on. You see the only line of defense
- 48:45Speaker 4: I have. What am I gonna do? Wrestle? You use
- 48:47Speaker 4: my Brazilian jiu jitsu? Maybe maybe not. I mean Brazilian
- 48:52Speaker 4: jiu jitsu is great, but come on. So now he
- 48:56Speaker 4: goes on. Though he goes on to see last night
- 49:00Speaker 4: vehicle last I checked vehicles don't move sideways. Sir, you
- 49:04Speaker 4: are in the land of make belief. He had already
- 49:08Speaker 4: given a shot. You're not gonna stop there, and all
- 49:11Speaker 4: of this happened in about four seconds. She's lucky she
- 49:15Speaker 4: didn't get the rest of his clip. Unbelievable. Thus, he
- 49:20Speaker 4: was not in immediate danger when he fired the next
- 49:23Speaker 4: two shots. Let me tell you, man, this is a
- 49:25Speaker 4: guy who I can guarantee you I would bet anything
- 49:29Speaker 4: that I'm willing to lose, which I don't like losing.
- 49:31Speaker 4: But I would say this guy voted for Bernie Sanders.
- 49:35Speaker 4: I'd also say he likely wears funny, funny looking socks
- 49:39Speaker 4: and shows them off as often as he can. And
- 49:43Speaker 4: I would also venture to say that I'll stop there.
- 49:49Speaker 4: I think you know where I'm going anyway, mister Marquez.
- 49:53Speaker 4: Let's see, let's just call it what it is, a
- 49:56Speaker 4: poorly trained agent who's a danger to his coworkers and
- 49:59Speaker 4: the public. Now you know what's interesting here is it
- 50:01Speaker 4: seems like he was only a danger to the woman
- 50:04Speaker 4: trying to kill him. So again, oxymoronic point, agents and
- 50:08Speaker 4: officers like this man who used his training to save
- 50:12Speaker 4: his life as he was trained to. I'm adding that
- 50:15Speaker 4: he says, agents and officers like this man get their
- 50:18Speaker 4: fellow agents and officers killed. Now what's interesting is again, no,
- 50:22Speaker 4: the only thing that was going to kill that man
- 50:23Speaker 4: was a woman that likely shares the same ideology as
- 50:26Speaker 4: you and your funny socks. That was what was going
- 50:28Speaker 4: to get him killed. Then he finishes off with I
- 50:30Speaker 4: would never work next to someone so stupid. I'm surprised
- 50:36Speaker 4: he's lived this long and again missing the point here, Todd.
- 50:39Speaker 4: This guy is alive today, that woman is not. I
- 50:42Speaker 4: think it's a point well received. I couldn't write all
- 50:46Speaker 4: that out anyway. This is a very long comment he made,
- 50:49Speaker 4: but I will. Maybe later I will say, hey, Todd,
- 50:52Speaker 4: I responded to your thoughts on the show. Check it
- 50:54Speaker 4: out if you want. I doubt he'll listen. It's going
- 50:56Speaker 4: to be difficult for him, but anyway, I just wanted
- 50:58Speaker 4: to share that, and again, whenever I see interest comments,
- 51:00Speaker 4: I will share those. If you want to join us,
- 51:02Speaker 4: you know the phone number, and that's a text line
- 51:04Speaker 4: as well, which I just found out yesterday. The technology
- 51:07Speaker 4: has been activated. If you want to text the show,
- 51:09Speaker 4: just text us at eight seven seven VALDESK one and voila,
- 51:13Speaker 4: it comes in as a text. Just put it in
- 51:15Speaker 4: your text and you can text and I will see
- 51:17Speaker 4: it and I will read it on the show. Anyway,
- 51:20Speaker 4: there is more to come. Straight ahead, we're going to
- 51:22Speaker 4: continue the conversation, wrapping it up shortly. Tomorrow's Friday. We're
- 51:26Speaker 4: gonna have Jill Robin Payne on the show. We're going
- 51:28Speaker 4: to talk about families that are estranged, and again that
- 51:31Speaker 4: stemmed from I think at the beginning of the year
- 51:33Speaker 4: I mentioned that or earlier this week, I should say,
- 51:36Speaker 4: because that was really the real beginning of the year
- 51:39Speaker 4: that over the Christmas break, I was watching YouTube and
- 51:43Speaker 4: I saw Oprah Winfrey's show, and I'd never watched a
- 51:45Speaker 4: full oprand which you take two. I'd never watched a
- 51:48Speaker 4: full Oprah Winfree show until that day, and it was
- 51:51Speaker 4: a fascinating, fascinating episode of Maybe I'll share it on Facebook,
- 51:55Speaker 4: so you guys can click on the link if you
- 51:57Speaker 4: want to watch it. But it was very fascinating to
- 51:59Speaker 4: me because I didn't know there were so many people
- 52:01Speaker 4: that took so much pride in cutting off their family.
- 52:04Speaker 4: They call it going no contact. So we're gonna get
- 52:06Speaker 4: into that with our one of our favorite, one of
- 52:10Speaker 4: my favorite shrinks on the radio, Joe Robin Paine, shall
- 52:12Speaker 4: be joining me, and of course, well you know your thoughts,
- 52:15Speaker 4: comments and opinions as well. All right, don't go anywhere.
- 52:18Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
- 52:44Speaker 3: He's making podcasting great again.
- 52:47Speaker 5: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 53:10Speaker 4: That's up, Familia check this one out. So take it
- 53:13Speaker 4: a quick commercial break, shall we we shall? And I'm
- 53:17Speaker 4: watching this video. This thing is hysterical. It sounds like
- 53:20Speaker 4: the setup for a joke, but it is actually that funny.
- 53:22Speaker 4: You've got Nico, that's my budo in a jail cell
- 53:24Speaker 4: with p Diddy and then guess what incomes? And trumpeto
- 53:28Speaker 4: to all this magnus and he talks to guess who. Okay,
- 53:32Speaker 4: my li it is. You can't make it up?
- 53:35Speaker 11: Yo?
- 53:35Speaker 4: Would you get arrested for because I have too much oil?
- 53:38Speaker 9: Me too?
- 53:38Speaker 4: Brok, you want to know what my favorite food is?
- 53:41Speaker 3: Once my duros cabron? What are you talking about?
- 53:44Speaker 8: Diddy?
- 53:44Speaker 9: Hey? Senor Trump?
- 53:46Speaker 3: Let me out?
- 53:47Speaker 4: Yes, let him go.
- 53:48Speaker 11: You can't do that, so you upset because Venezuelans might
- 53:52Speaker 11: put up pictures of me on their fridge every year
- 53:54Speaker 11: in honor of their freedom.
- 53:56Speaker 7: No, you can't just start military operations without con and
- 54:00Speaker 7: you definitely can't arrest another country's president.
- 54:03Speaker 4: Look.
- 54:04Speaker 11: Obama killed Osama, no congressional approval. Obama invaded Libya, the
- 54:09Speaker 11: operation killed Kadafi, no approval. Biden killed the al Qaeda
- 54:13Speaker 11: leader in twenty twenty two, no congressional approval, and I
- 54:17Speaker 11: swoop in and brings the man alive back to the US.
- 54:20Speaker 11: Democrats go crazy. You guys need to stop being absolute hypocrites.
- 54:25Speaker 7: Whatever you are, a dictator, freemduro, freemduro.
- 54:30Speaker 4: Let's be honest.
- 54:31Speaker 11: Before the arrest, most liberals didn't even know who Nicolas
- 54:35Speaker 11: Maduro was.
- 54:37Speaker 4: Arresting a sitting president violates international law.
- 54:40Speaker 11: Yeah, only if that person is recognized as head of state.
- 54:44Speaker 11: And US doesn't recognize Maduro as a legitimate president because
- 54:47Speaker 11: he's not. He's a dictator. Head of immunity is an automatic.
- 54:52Speaker 11: It depends on recognition, not self declaration.
- 54:54Speaker 4: Oh, I don't care, Free Maduro.
- 54:58Speaker 11: Sin signor Tom Freemi. By the way, where's your Venezuelan
- 55:02Speaker 11: flag though? Nine months ago, Ukraine flags eight months ago,
- 55:06Speaker 11: Palestine flags six months ago, Iranian flags, and now Venezuela
- 55:11Speaker 11: flags everywhere? So you liberals stand for every country except
- 55:15Speaker 11: the United States?
- 55:16Speaker 3: What else?
- 55:17Speaker 8: Ah?
- 55:20Speaker 4: That was so funny, listen. I live for a good laugh.
- 55:24Speaker 4: But that's actually what's going on here. We're making all
- 55:26Speaker 4: sorts of nonsensical arguments to try and defend the indefensible,
- 55:31Speaker 4: and we can't do that, right, That's not how real
- 55:34Speaker 4: life works, so I, for one, I'm happy I found
- 55:37Speaker 4: that video. Shout out to old gen x one. I
- 55:40Speaker 4: think that's the handle on that. And if you want
- 55:42Speaker 4: to see the video again, it's on my Instagram. Feel
- 55:44Speaker 4: free to take a look at it. I would enjoy that,
- 55:46Speaker 4: and I only put it there. It may be on
- 55:49Speaker 4: my Facebook because sometimes they cross posts. Otherwise I have
- 55:52Speaker 4: to go and put it on every one of them,
- 55:54Speaker 4: and it's just a painting about Sometimes the Instagram really
- 55:57Speaker 4: is user friendly, at least for me. I wanted to
- 55:59Speaker 4: play for you because I feel like we've entered the
- 56:01Speaker 4: twilight zone right. We truly are in a place where
- 56:04Speaker 4: we're like, hey, what's going on here? Since when did
- 56:07Speaker 4: bad become good and good become bad and up become
- 56:09Speaker 4: down and down become up. It's because of all of
- 56:12Speaker 4: this craziness that we've started to embrace this relativism, moral relativism,
- 56:18Speaker 4: the idea that we can create whatever truth we want,
- 56:20Speaker 4: that men can be women and women can be men. Personally,
- 56:23Speaker 4: I think that's not only a sin, but it's become
- 56:26Speaker 4: quite normal in our society to try and normalize sin. Ultimately,
- 56:31Speaker 4: that's what it really comes down to. This has always
- 56:33Speaker 4: been about good versus evil. This is not about some
- 56:37Speaker 4: sort of taking the moral high ground. And this is
- 56:39Speaker 4: why I'm always talking about staying away from emotions and
- 56:42Speaker 4: focusing on logic, because they will emotionally hijack you. And
- 56:45Speaker 4: when I say they, I mean the left, the aocs
- 56:47Speaker 4: of the world, the Bernie Sanders of the world. Right,
- 56:49Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders, if he's losing an argument, he'll just come
- 56:52Speaker 4: out and say, do you think it's okay that one percent,
- 56:54Speaker 4: one percent of all the people in this world, that
- 56:57Speaker 4: one percent make all the money the billionaire And right
- 57:00Speaker 4: away people start going, hey, man, I don't know, maybe
- 57:02Speaker 4: that makes sense. You might be right. I don't think
- 57:04Speaker 4: that's good. It's very bad. Why is it? Why do
- 57:06Speaker 4: we have poverty? And then people like Bill Gates? Why
- 57:09Speaker 4: do we have such disparity? Everybody should be able to eat?
- 57:12Speaker 4: These are fake ideas. There's never been a society on
- 57:15Speaker 4: this planet. I don't even think the aliens have that
- 57:17Speaker 4: type of egalitarian life. Maybe in heaven we'll have that,
- 57:21Speaker 4: but that doesn't exist here, not even amongst the ants,
- 57:24Speaker 4: not even amongst insects and the animals. In the animal kingdom,
- 57:26Speaker 4: there's always a pecking order. That's just how life works,
- 57:30Speaker 4: and we as humans are the most sophisticated out there.
- 57:33Speaker 4: So don't take the bait, don't believe the hype, don't
- 57:37Speaker 4: fall for it. Stand for something, because if you stand
- 57:39Speaker 4: for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And remember, you got
- 57:42Speaker 4: to be an informed patriot. You gotta do something because
- 57:45Speaker 4: the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for
- 57:48Speaker 4: good people like you to do nothing. That's all I've
- 57:50Speaker 4: got for it today. Asta a broksima, take care, good night,
- 57:53Speaker 4: and God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez, and this
- 57:56Speaker 4: is America.
- 57:58Speaker 5: This is America.
- 58:08Speaker 4: We live in a remarkable time in human history right now,
- 58:12Speaker 4: one in which our technology has dramatically improved our living standards.
- 58:17Speaker 4: That's because the people that design and build the modern
- 58:20Speaker 4: wonders that make our lives better are bound by physical reality,
- 58:25Speaker 4: a world in which things either work or they don't work. Unfortunately,
- 58:29Speaker 4: those who oversee our political and educational institutions aren't limited
- 58:33Speaker 4: by these same constraints. Instead, they often implement their agendas
- 58:36Speaker 4: by exploiting people's ignorance on issues like taxes and immigration.
- 58:41Speaker 4: So where do we go to get the facts? Well,
