0:11
Speaker 2: administration officials.
0:12
Speaker 1: You worked at Chris Christie and Fallisleach a lot of
0:14
Speaker 1: public service stuff.
0:15
Speaker 3: Rich Valdez calumnist now with the Washington Times.
0:18
Speaker 4: This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with a Nation.
0:22
Speaker 5: Nation with America with your host, Rich Valdez.
0:26
Speaker 3: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with aness
0:29
Speaker 3: at riche Valdez on all of the social media. Happy Tuesday, everybody,
0:35
Speaker 3: pleasure to be here, blessing to be with you, and
0:38
Speaker 3: you can always check us out at richeveldest dot com
0:42
Speaker 3: for anything you might have missed. But I want to
0:44
Speaker 3: get into a couple of things because you know, America
0:47
Speaker 3: is a wonderful place that we like to talk about
0:49
Speaker 3: here on this program a lot. Our nation was born
0:52
Speaker 3: from the ideas of the Enlightenment. God given natural rights
0:56
Speaker 3: and they're just that these rights that are given by
0:59
Speaker 3: the Creator by the government. This isn't a principle that's
1:02
Speaker 3: based on an opinion or one that can be ignored,
1:05
Speaker 3: because it's so foundational to the enterprise and the experiment
1:10
Speaker 3: known as the United States. You just can't refute it
1:13
Speaker 3: now after almost two hundred and fifty years, right, that's
1:17
Speaker 3: we're coming up on two hundred fifty years this year.
1:21
Speaker 3: We know that the experiment is just that it's exceptional.
1:26
Speaker 3: But it only works if virtue is woven into the
1:28
Speaker 3: fabric of everything we do collectively and individually. Of course,
1:33
Speaker 3: we can't force compliance or virtue, because that would be
1:38
Speaker 3: a utopian fantasy. But we can take heed to the
1:42
Speaker 3: warnings of the framers of this great nation. One way
1:48
Speaker 3: this was insured for us was a reliance on God
1:51
Speaker 3: for providence, for protection, for peace. Lamentably, the ideas that
1:58
Speaker 3: counter the exceptionalism of an Erica rely on godlessness and
2:02
Speaker 3: immorality as the virtue of their movements. It's true that
2:09
Speaker 3: there's been an unmooring of society that starts with attacking
2:14
Speaker 3: that which makes us strong and cohesive, God, the family.
2:20
Speaker 3: But the rights of the individual to worship, our right
2:23
Speaker 3: to free speech, our right to life, our right to liberty,
2:27
Speaker 3: the pursuit of happiness, and the protection of one's own
2:31
Speaker 3: life is what James Madison wrote about. Those are those
2:35
Speaker 3: fundamental tenets that keep this thing going. Yet here we
2:40
Speaker 3: are today struggling to maintain that beautiful simplicity. You've got
2:45
Speaker 3: a president that's being chastised for saying that sedition should
2:51
Speaker 3: be punishable by death. Who would a thunk it? Right?
2:59
Speaker 3: This is a a crazy situation. You know, we're still
3:02
Speaker 3: managing the economy because of Biden's inflation that was out
3:05
Speaker 3: of control. Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation,
3:10
Speaker 3: yet they did nothing to avoid it, and in fact,
3:11
Speaker 3: they caused that. They contributed to it. Right, everybody that
3:15
Speaker 3: was drunk on spending printing more money. So obviously the
3:20
Speaker 3: government devalues our currency and makes everything cost more for
3:23
Speaker 3: you and me. They declared war on fossil fuel during
3:27
Speaker 3: the Biden administration, shutting down pipelines, closing the h Anwar
3:32
Speaker 3: oil field, stopping drilling leases. All of this did what
3:35
Speaker 3: It caused the prices of everything to go up because
3:39
Speaker 3: almost everything requires fossil fuel energy to produce. That's just
3:43
Speaker 3: the fact. And they know that, and they say, we
3:46
Speaker 3: got to get away from it. But how do you
3:47
Speaker 3: do that? So now we've been spending huge sums of
3:53
Speaker 3: money on tax dollars to extort American businesses to raise
3:58
Speaker 3: wages by incentivizing individuals to do whatever it is that
4:03
Speaker 3: they want. And this is not the way forward, right.
4:10
Speaker 3: What we need to do is more of what Trump
4:12
Speaker 3: is doing, incentivizing businesses to invest in our country, making
4:17
Speaker 3: sure that America is still that last bastion of freedom,
4:20
Speaker 3: of opportunity, of American dream that exists.
4:25
Speaker 4: Now.
4:25
Speaker 3: A lot of people think, ah, the American dream that
4:28
Speaker 3: was for people before. But I'll tell you this, I
4:31
Speaker 3: still believe in this stuff. You know, when I was
4:33
Speaker 3: a kid, I used to see Ronald Reagan come out
4:35
Speaker 3: and he would talk about all sorts of things. And
4:37
Speaker 3: I've got a clip. It's a little long, but man,
4:40
Speaker 3: is it worth it. Listen to President Reagan talking about
4:44
Speaker 3: his conversation with the Cuban, the Cuban who fled communism,
4:48
Speaker 3: the Cuban who said, listen, if the United States goes under,
4:52
Speaker 3: we've got nothing left. Check this out.
4:55
Speaker 6: We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has
4:57
Speaker 6: ever faced mankind in his long clime, from this up
5:00
Speaker 6: to the stars. And it's been said, if we lose
5:03
Speaker 6: that war, and in so doing lose this way of
5:05
Speaker 6: freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment
5:08
Speaker 6: that those who had the most to lose did the
5:11
Speaker 6: least to prevent its happening. Not too long ago, two
5:14
Speaker 6: friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a
5:16
Speaker 6: businessman who would escaped from Castro, And in the midst
5:19
Speaker 6: of his story, one of my friends turned to the
5:21
Speaker 6: other and said, we don't know how lucky we are,
5:23
Speaker 6: And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are.
5:27
Speaker 6: I had some place to escape to. If we lose
5:30
Speaker 6: freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is
5:32
Speaker 6: the last stand on earth. Outside of its legitimate functions,
5:37
Speaker 6: government does nothing as well or as economically as the
5:40
Speaker 6: private sector of the economy. Well, now, if government planning
5:44
Speaker 6: and welfare had the answer, and they've had almost thirty
5:48
Speaker 6: years of it, shouldn't we expect government to read the
5:51
Speaker 6: score to us once in a while. Yet, any time
5:53
Speaker 6: you and I question the schemes of the do gooders
5:56
Speaker 6: were denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say,
6:00
Speaker 6: we're always against things, we're never for anything. Well, the
6:03
Speaker 6: trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
6:06
Speaker 6: It's just that they know so much that isn't so
6:09
Speaker 6: These proliferating bureaus, with their thousands of regulations, have cost
6:12
Speaker 6: us many of our constitutional safeguards. How many of us
6:16
Speaker 6: realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property
6:19
Speaker 6: without a warrant, They can impose a fine without a
6:22
Speaker 6: formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury, and they
6:25
Speaker 6: can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce
6:28
Speaker 6: the payment of that fine. Those who would trade our
6:31
Speaker 6: freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have
6:33
Speaker 6: told us they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.
6:36
Speaker 6: They call their policy accommodation, and they say, if we'll
6:39
Speaker 6: only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget
6:43
Speaker 6: his evil ways and learn to love us. All who
6:46
Speaker 6: oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say, we offer
6:50
Speaker 6: simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a
6:53
Speaker 6: simple answer, not an easy answer, but simple. We cannot,
6:58
Speaker 6: but by our security, our freedom from the threat of
7:00
Speaker 6: the bomb, by committing an immorality so great as saying
7:06
Speaker 6: to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the iron curtain,
7:09
Speaker 6: give up your dreams of freedom, because to save our
7:12
Speaker 6: own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your
7:14
Speaker 6: slave masters. Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we
7:18
Speaker 6: follow other than this, But every lesson of history tells
7:20
Speaker 6: us that the greater risk lies in appeasement. And this
7:24
Speaker 6: is the specter our well meaning liberal friends refuse to
7:27
Speaker 6: face that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it
7:32
Speaker 6: gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight
7:35
Speaker 6: or surrender. If nothing in life is worth dying for?
7:38
Speaker 6: When did this begin just in the face of this enemy?
7:42
Speaker 6: Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to
7:44
Speaker 6: live in slavery under the Pharaohs? Should Christ have refused
7:48
Speaker 6: the cross? Should the patriots at Conquered Bridge have thrown
7:51
Speaker 6: down their guns and refuse.
7:53
Speaker 3: To fire the shot heard round the world?
7:55
Speaker 6: The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored
7:58
Speaker 6: dead who gave their life to stop the advance of
8:01
Speaker 6: the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where then, is the
8:05
Speaker 6: road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer. After all,
8:09
Speaker 6: you and I have the courage to say to our
8:11
Speaker 6: enemies there is a price we will not pay. There
8:14
Speaker 6: is a point beyond which they must not advance. You
8:18
Speaker 6: and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for
8:22
Speaker 6: our children, This the last best hope of men on earth,
8:25
Speaker 6: or we'll sentence them to take the last step into
8:27
Speaker 6: a thousand years of darkness.
8:30
Speaker 3: That is a clip from President Reagan. And let me
8:33
Speaker 3: tell you, if that doesn't get you going, I don't
8:35
Speaker 3: know what will. He's talking about protecting the American dreams,
8:38
Speaker 3: something that we need to do today, something that the
8:41
Speaker 3: radical left in our political establishment seems to be attacking
8:46
Speaker 3: on a regular basis. Whether it's the family, whether it's
8:50
Speaker 3: the free market, whether it's traditional sports, you name it.
8:57
Speaker 3: Reagan nailed it in his conversation with the Q. If
9:01
Speaker 3: we fall, where does anybody else go? This is the
9:04
Speaker 3: world's last bastion of freedom. And I know people want
9:07
Speaker 3: to criticize America all this is freedom? What Denmark Denmark healthcares?
9:12
Speaker 7: All?
9:12
Speaker 3: Right, right, you got Bernie Sanders and somebody like him.
9:15
Speaker 3: But the reality is this is it. We are the
9:18
Speaker 3: last best hope. So what are we going to do?
9:21
Speaker 3: What are we prepared to do? What are we willing
9:23
Speaker 3: to do to advance the cause of liberty in America.
9:26
Speaker 3: I'll leave that question with you as we head into
9:28
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving week, but I will ask you to keep it
9:32
Speaker 3: locked right here because there's more to come straight ahead.
9:34
Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdez.
9:36
Speaker 5: This is America.
9:41
Speaker 4: Podcasts now Richiev. You're on the air with a Nation
9:44
Speaker 4: is America with Rich Faldez.

9:57
Speaker 5: This is America. He's brown bald and he's breaking it down.
10:02
Speaker 3: Oh he's so had some what's his day?
10:04
Speaker 5: Rich Veldez?
10:08
Speaker 3: All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich valdesk keeping the
10:11
Speaker 3: company this Tuesday night, heading into Thanksgiving Eve, heading into
10:15
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving week, and I want to get into something I
10:18
Speaker 3: meant to get into yesterday. There's a bunch of things
10:20
Speaker 3: I want to talk about, right. I wanted to get into,
10:22
Speaker 3: of course, this overarching theme that I allowed President Reagan
10:25
Speaker 3: to get into because who could do it better than him,
10:28
Speaker 3: which is protecting America and our virtue. But there's also
10:33
Speaker 3: fake meat, right, Remember I talked about the three D
10:36
Speaker 3: grown meat at the Campbell's factory. That secret audio came
10:39
Speaker 3: out yesterday. I mentioned it, but I didn't play the
10:41
Speaker 3: audio for You're going to do that today as promised.
10:44
Speaker 3: There's also the joy ride gone bad with people who
10:47
Speaker 3: were out there popping donuts in Queens New York on
10:50
Speaker 3: a public street, somebody can plain. Next thing, you know,
10:53
Speaker 3: they got beat up and then their car got set
10:56
Speaker 3: on fire. That was a wild story. We got some
10:59
Speaker 3: more audio on that that I want you to hear,
11:02
Speaker 3: and of course plenty more going on. The contentious situation
11:07
Speaker 3: with Ukraine and Russia continues to go back and forth,
11:11
Speaker 3: but it seems like progress is being made. Secretary of
11:13
Speaker 3: Rubio saying that we are in a better place than
11:16
Speaker 3: we were before and they see some promise there, and
11:19
Speaker 3: I think that's a good thing. I really do. But
11:23
Speaker 3: I want to get into a particular audio clip in
11:29
Speaker 3: a moment, but before I do, I want to remind
11:34
Speaker 3: everybody that we have these conversations ay, because I want
11:40
Speaker 3: you to be informed and you know, understand my take
11:43
Speaker 3: on things. You don't have to necessarily agree with me,
11:47
Speaker 3: but I want you to be aware of these things.
11:48
Speaker 3: And that's why I play the clips the way I do.
11:51
Speaker 3: I give you the longer version of the clip just
11:53
Speaker 3: so that you can hear everything in context, because I
11:58
Speaker 3: think that's important. Now. Something I want to get into
12:02
Speaker 3: right now is the progress that is being made with
12:08
Speaker 3: respect to the war in Russia. Now I know that
12:14
Speaker 3: it's been back and forth, and there's been a lot
12:16
Speaker 3: to discuss, but I think it's important that we discuss that.
12:20
Speaker 3: It's important that we talk about the political nature of
12:22
Speaker 3: what's happening, the economy and so many other things. And
12:28
Speaker 3: of course, one of my favorites, so I should say
12:30
Speaker 3: my least favorite, my least favorite Congress women from the
12:34
Speaker 3: Bronx and Queens, AOC all out crazy alexandri Casio Cortez
12:39
Speaker 3: who says that we've got a whole lot of instability
12:43
Speaker 3: going on. Listen to this.
12:45
Speaker 8: To be honest, the president's remarks are I think indicate
12:51
Speaker 8: a level of instability. It's not just shocking, it's not
12:57
Speaker 8: just offensive. It's bizarre, it is erratic, it's volatile, and
13:04
Speaker 8: I think it indicates a mental state that we should
13:07
Speaker 8: all be questioning right now, whether that's emotional or mental,
13:09
Speaker 8: what have you. It is not normal to make these accusations,
13:14
Speaker 8: it is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats
13:18
Speaker 8: of violence, and it's also not normal to also dramatically misquote,
13:22
Speaker 8: as Carolyn leave Ittt was doing. What these members of
13:25
Speaker 8: Congress said, they made a very clear message to US
13:31
Speaker 8: service members, which is that you do not have to
13:33
Speaker 8: obey in illegal order. And I think that's an important
13:38
Speaker 8: message to reiterate because this administration seems to be increasingly
13:42
Speaker 8: trying to go down that path.
13:45
Speaker 3: Now that's AOC again saying that it's wrong for President
13:48
Speaker 3: Trump to talk about the punishment for seditious conspiracy being
13:54
Speaker 3: death because why well, because she thinks it's wrong. She
13:57
Speaker 3: doesn't like it. You think ed Trump Beto cares about that?
14:01
Speaker 3: Do you think any of these people cared about this?
14:03
Speaker 3: Now I could tell you this. I'm gonna give a
14:05
Speaker 3: little a piece of advice here. I don't claim to
14:07
Speaker 3: be smarter than anybody, but if I was ed Trump
14:10
Speaker 3: beat them, I would say, because he knows they're gonna
14:12
Speaker 3: freak out. And I think part of that's his strategy, right.
14:15
Speaker 3: I think part of that he says, you know what,
14:16
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this, and they're gonna freak out. They're
14:18
Speaker 3: gonna talk about it for days, and it keeps him
14:21
Speaker 3: as the number one headline every day. Right. I think
14:23
Speaker 3: people tend to say, oh my gosh, I used to
14:25
Speaker 3: like this show, but they became very political, or I
14:27
Speaker 3: used to like this but it became very political. Now.
14:29
Speaker 3: The problem is that the media is fascinated with Trump,
14:34
Speaker 3: so there is no other news except for the first
14:36
Speaker 3: three to five stories being Trump all the time. So
14:40
Speaker 3: I think what happens here is President Trump. I think
14:43
Speaker 3: my recommendation, if I were, you know, in the White
14:46
Speaker 3: House press shop, I would say, mister President, I think
14:49
Speaker 3: that it's imperative that you go along with this, right.
14:53
Speaker 3: So when AOC puts something like that out, you retweet it,
14:56
Speaker 3: you read truth it and say, totally see, I agree.
15:01
Speaker 9: Not a single service member, not a single one, should
15:06
Speaker 9: ever follow an unlawful order. We're not here for unlawful orders, folks.
15:10
Speaker 9: Matter of fact, I give the most lawful orders, lawful
15:13
Speaker 9: orders or what I do best, bigly, bigly lawful.
15:17
Speaker 3: Orders, and just hammer down that he agrees nobody should
15:22
Speaker 3: follow unlawful orders. And in fact, if you need some
15:26
Speaker 3: help deciphering the orders, we're gonna have you know, our
15:28
Speaker 3: team of people here, you know, and make a joke
15:30
Speaker 3: of it and flip it back on them, because this,
15:34
Speaker 3: I think is what in you know, in the people
15:37
Speaker 3: find endearing and they go, you know, that's the el
15:40
Speaker 3: trumpito that I know in love. Now I know that
15:42
Speaker 3: he's not necessarily looking to win every popularity contest, But
15:46
Speaker 3: the left seems to really get away with things because
15:48
Speaker 3: of the sheer numbers of the people they have in
15:50
Speaker 3: big blue states. So they say things like, oh my gosh,
15:53
Speaker 3: Trump did this, and everybody's freaking out. When I guess
15:56
Speaker 3: the rest of the world, the rest of the country
15:58
Speaker 3: look at this and they say, well, as politics as usual,
16:01
Speaker 3: you're gonna have politicians that disagree. Not everybody's gonna, you know,
16:05
Speaker 3: think the same way. You get to say, munch have
16:06
Speaker 3: the same shoe size, right, just doesn't work that way.
16:09
Speaker 3: So to that AOC, I say, hey, I think the
16:13
Speaker 3: President agrees with you. I think I agree with you.
16:16
Speaker 3: I think all of us agree with you. No one
16:18
Speaker 3: should follow any illegal order. The bigger question is why
16:21
Speaker 3: are you and your Democrat friends pretending that there are
16:24
Speaker 3: illegal orders going on to begin with? Why is that
16:27
Speaker 3: even happening? Why are you trying to create instability? Why
16:30
Speaker 3: are you trying to sabotage that which is succeeding. That
16:34
Speaker 3: would be my question to l Congista AOC. Now, I
16:40
Speaker 3: want to get into something else. Let me see if
16:42
Speaker 3: it's queued up already or if not, we'll get it
16:44
Speaker 3: queued up during the break let me see now, is
16:48
Speaker 3: this it stand by No, it's coming close. But imagine that.
16:54
Speaker 3: Imagine being in a meeting and having a conversation with
16:58
Speaker 3: your boss and explaining, Look, you're telling us we're selling soup,
17:01
Speaker 3: but I can't say we're selling soup. But any good faith,
17:04
Speaker 3: this meat is being created on a three D printer. Now,
17:07
Speaker 3: I don't know how real that is. I can't imagine
17:09
Speaker 3: eating a piece of meat that was grown on a
17:12
Speaker 3: three D printer. And I am a connoisewer when it
17:15
Speaker 3: comes to different cuts of steak and whatnot, right like
17:19
Speaker 3: the Porterhouse, the Ribbi, the Tomahawk Ribbui. So I wonder
17:25
Speaker 3: if you've heard this story. You know Bill Gates was
17:28
Speaker 3: famous for talking about fake meat, and now you've got
17:32
Speaker 3: Campbell's potentially caught up in drama with fake meat. So
17:37
Speaker 3: we're going to get into that straight ahead, plus your
17:40
Speaker 3: thoughts and opinions if you want to go ahead and
17:42
Speaker 3: tweet at me or hit you any of the social
17:45
Speaker 3: media dropping a comment. I've seen a lot of great comments.
17:47
Speaker 3: By the way, thank you very much for all the
17:49
Speaker 3: love and support that's out there. I do appreciate it.
17:51
Speaker 3: At Rich Valdes on all of the social media at
17:54
Speaker 3: Rich Valdes, and of course our comments are open looking
17:58
Speaker 3: forward to your thoughts on this. Don't go anywhere. I'm
18:01
Speaker 3: Rich Faldes.
18:03
Speaker 7: This is America. This is America.
18:19
Speaker 3: With programs like America at Night with Rich Valdez and
18:22
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is a guest. Who's gonna watch late night TV?
18:24
Speaker 3: Come on?
18:25
Speaker 4: Who would want to?
18:25
Speaker 3: I want to listen to you Rich all the time?
18:29
Speaker 3: All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich VALDESK keeping your
18:31
Speaker 3: company tonight. Uh, this is America at Rich Valdes. You
18:35
Speaker 3: can find me at richvaldest dot com, streaming on iHeartRadio,
18:38
Speaker 3: and in a couple other places. I'll keep you posted
18:40
Speaker 3: as that begins to expand. But I want to direct
18:44
Speaker 3: your attention to this story because, of course, the background
18:49
Speaker 3: on this is Bill Gates. Right, Bill Gates. He's the
18:54
Speaker 3: founder of Microsoft. You know you've heard of him before, obviously,
19:00
Speaker 3: and he famously has talked about lots of interesting things.
19:05
Speaker 3: But I want you to hear a sample of the
19:08
Speaker 3: elitism of how you know, how carried away? I think
19:15
Speaker 3: people like him get listen to this.
19:18
Speaker 10: Six percent of global emissions are cows who burp and
19:23
Speaker 10: fart methane to an extreme.
19:26
Speaker 3: Degree six percent. Six percent, So listen to the solution free.
19:32
Speaker 10: You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that,
19:35
Speaker 10: or you can make beef without the cow, and both
19:38
Speaker 10: of those, you know, will be pursued to see which
19:41
Speaker 10: one can lead to the best product in terms of taste, health,
19:47
Speaker 10: and cost.
19:50
Speaker 3: Six percent. So listen to this. So Bill Gates says
19:53
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to make fake meat because six percent
19:56
Speaker 3: of global emissions come from cow farts. What about saying, listen,
20:02
Speaker 3: ninety four percent of emissions come from other places. Maybe
20:07
Speaker 3: we should deal with that instead of making fake meat.
20:10
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just a thought, mister Gates. I'm not
20:12
Speaker 3: nearly as smart as you. I'm definitely not as rich
20:15
Speaker 3: as you. But wow, well, mister Gates made that comment
20:19
Speaker 3: a while back, and some people are taking it seriously
20:23
Speaker 3: because now we've got reports that fake meat is actually
20:27
Speaker 3: a thing, and this is pretty scary stuff.
20:30
Speaker 11: Man.
20:30
Speaker 3: You've got the vice president of Campbell's soup company, Martin Ballely,
20:34
Speaker 3: He's been you know, all over the place on the news.
20:38
Speaker 3: He exploded in a meeting over the company using bioengineered ingredients,
20:43
Speaker 3: including fake meat that comes from a three D printer,
20:47
Speaker 3: and now, of course the media is trying to smear him,
20:50
Speaker 3: saying he's the crazy instead of them being the crazies
20:53
Speaker 3: for using the fake meat. Check this out.
20:56
Speaker 2: A former Campbell's Soup company employee is taking legal action
21:00
Speaker 2: against the food giants, and he's making some explosive allegations
21:03
Speaker 2: about one of its top executives.
21:05
Speaker 4: Good evening, and thanks for joining us at six.
21:07
Speaker 12: I'm Ty Steele, I'm Kimberly Gill. Those allegations are now
21:10
Speaker 12: at the center of a lawsuit claiming the company's vice
21:13
Speaker 12: president went on an hour long tie rade attacking the
21:16
Speaker 12: company's products and employees before taking aim at its customers.
21:20
Speaker 4: And the former employee recorded it all.
21:22
Speaker 6: Eric Erickson shares that recording and what the company is
21:25
Speaker 6: saying about it.
21:27
Speaker 13: We have for four people, and that's just part of
21:32
Speaker 13: an over an hour long rant, says former security analyst
21:36
Speaker 13: for Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe.
21:39
Speaker 14: I don't buy it's fairly anymore.
21:42
Speaker 11: So althy now that I don't what the Senate even
21:45
Speaker 11: in a soup.
21:45
Speaker 3: I look at it.
21:46
Speaker 5: You ap bio engineered me.
21:49
Speaker 3: I don't want to eat a piece of chicken. It
21:52
Speaker 3: came from a three D printer.
21:54
Speaker 13: You The recording allegedly of Campbell's VP and Chief Information
21:58
Speaker 13: Security Officer, Martin Bell.
22:00
Speaker 4: He has no filter.
22:02
Speaker 13: Bally, along with another supervisor and Campbell's suit company, named
22:06
Speaker 13: in a lawsuit filed Thursday, the suit claiming Bally made
22:09
Speaker 13: racist remarks, admits to coming to work high and Garza
22:13
Speaker 13: fired for coming forward.
22:15
Speaker 2: What do you think about the things that he was saying?
22:18
Speaker 13: Oh, I just just appeared discuss Garza says he usually
22:21
Speaker 13: worked remotely for Campbell's headquarters based in Camden, New Jersey,
22:25
Speaker 13: but thinking he'd be discussing his salary with Bally, he
22:28
Speaker 13: says the recording taken in person at a restaurant. Garza
22:37
Speaker 13: says he felt sick after the rant, deciding to go
22:40
Speaker 13: to his direct supervisor in January, keeping the recordings to himself.
22:46
Speaker 3: Now, of course, the media is going in a certain
22:48
Speaker 3: direction here, and they want to make this guy out
22:50
Speaker 3: to be the worst thing ever. And I'm not here
22:52
Speaker 3: to defend the guy. I'm here to talk about the
22:54
Speaker 3: fake meat. They seem to be glossing over the fake meat.
22:58
Speaker 3: I hope they bring it back to the fake meat,
22:59
Speaker 3: because I don't care if he's beaten people up, and
23:02
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, listen, not everybody's nice, right. Sometimes you
23:05
Speaker 3: get a boss that's a jerk. I get that. But
23:08
Speaker 3: do you get a boss that's a jerk and talks
23:11
Speaker 3: about fake meat made in a three D printer? I
23:13
Speaker 3: don't think that happens every day. Go ahead play the tape.
23:16
Speaker 4: Ever had any disciplinary action, they had never written them
23:20
Speaker 4: up for poor work performance.
23:21
Speaker 13: Garza says, no one at Campbell's ever followed up, and
23:25
Speaker 13: it's taken him ten months to find a new job,
23:28
Speaker 13: calling the way the can Soup company handled it simply terrible.
23:32
Speaker 4: They have a model, you know, like we treat you
23:34
Speaker 4: like family.
23:35
Speaker 1: You know here at Campbell's, soon'll come work for us,
23:37
Speaker 1: you know where we cheer our employees like family.
23:40
Speaker 4: That's that's not the case.
23:42
Speaker 13: We did just receive a statement from Campbell's.
23:44
Speaker 4: It says, quote.
23:45
Speaker 13: If accurate, the comments and the recording are unacceptable. They
23:49
Speaker 13: do not reflect our values and the culture of our company.
23:52
Speaker 13: We are actively investigating this manner.
23:56
Speaker 3: So Campbell's Soup now in peril. Right Florida State of
24:02
Speaker 3: Florida's coming after them after the secret audio came out,
24:05
Speaker 3: saying hey, we might have to shut you guys down.
24:08
Speaker 3: Florida's attorney general said he will shut down violators of
24:11
Speaker 3: the state's law on lab grown meat after launching an
24:14
Speaker 3: investigation into Campbell's over a secret recording of the executive
24:18
Speaker 3: you just heard saying, quote, we don't do the fake
24:21
Speaker 3: lab grown meat here in Florida. We'll enforce the law
24:24
Speaker 3: and shut it down. Florida Attorney General James Utemeyer said
24:28
Speaker 3: that on X, also known as Twitter, yout meyer or
24:32
Speaker 3: up meyer, however you want to pronounce that, said that
24:35
Speaker 3: the state's Consumer Protection Division is launching an investigation into
24:39
Speaker 3: the company, and WDV is broadcasting portions of the recording,
24:44
Speaker 3: saying that the speaker, identified as Campbell's vice president and
24:48
Speaker 3: chief information security officer Martin Valley, has heard saying we
24:52
Speaker 3: have crap for effing poor people who buys our crap,
24:56
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah.
24:58
Speaker 15: And.
25:01
Speaker 3: Continuing saying, I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's
25:04
Speaker 3: not healthy now that I know that we have what
25:07
Speaker 3: the F is in it? According to the person on
25:09
Speaker 3: the audio, which they believe to be the vice president,
25:12
Speaker 3: I just described to you. The speaker also referenced bio
25:16
Speaker 3: engineered meat, saying I don't want to eat an e
25:18
Speaker 3: fing piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
25:21
Speaker 3: Who does, sir, who does? And listen, I've had some
25:25
Speaker 3: good tofu in the past, but it's not ideal, right,
25:28
Speaker 3: It's just not good for you, I believe. Anyway, we
25:31
Speaker 3: use one hundred percent real chicken in our soups. James Reagan,
25:35
Speaker 3: the director of external communications at Campbell's, said to Newsweek,
25:40
Speaker 3: the chicken and the meat from that chicken comes from
25:43
Speaker 3: law trusted USDA approved us suppliers and meets our high
25:47
Speaker 3: quality standards. All of our soups are made with no
25:50
Speaker 3: antibiotics ever, and that's good for their chicken meat. Any
25:56
Speaker 3: claims to the contrary are completely false. Other false claims
26:00
Speaker 3: that were made today cash Battel, the media going out
26:04
Speaker 3: there saying, oh, by the way, we saw cash Battel,
26:08
Speaker 3: and we think he's on his way out and Trompito's
26:10
Speaker 3: going to be getting rid of him, and blah blah
26:13
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And what happened. As soon as the
26:15
Speaker 3: uh the traffic cleared up a little bit, people started moving.
26:19
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Caroline Levitt brought this over to the
26:23
Speaker 3: President saying, hey, did you hear these things about Cash Battel,
26:27
Speaker 3: And the President immediately shut this down, saying, ha ha ha,
26:31
Speaker 3: not happening, and good for him and good for them. Right.
26:36
Speaker 3: I think Cash Hotel has an enormous lift on his hands,
26:39
Speaker 3: this massive classified file. You've also got all sorts of things, right,
26:45
Speaker 3: the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This has been one of
26:49
Speaker 3: the busier times for an FBI director. And I think
26:53
Speaker 3: Cash Hotel's handling it pretty well. So when President Trump said, hey,
26:58
Speaker 3: you know what, let's take a picture, let's send selfie.
27:00
Speaker 3: Let's make sure you know people know that this is fake,
27:02
Speaker 3: phony and fraud. You gotta love a boss like that.
27:05
Speaker 3: I think you really do that not only looks at
27:08
Speaker 3: you know, the output that you're putting out, but overall
27:12
Speaker 3: the entirety of the cumulative or collective work, project or product,
27:18
Speaker 3: I should say, And I think that's what it's all about.
27:21
Speaker 3: It's about nailing it each and every time, you know,
27:25
Speaker 3: the whole team winning, not just one person winning. So
27:30
Speaker 3: I love that. Anyway, there is more to come. Straight ahead,
27:33
Speaker 3: we will continue the conversation. I want to let you
27:36
Speaker 3: know what's going on with Venezuela. A little update on that.
27:41
Speaker 3: While Nico las Malulo is dancing on the stage acting
27:45
Speaker 3: like a fool, doing the makarena and playing, Simon says, well, yes,
27:50
Speaker 3: he might be taking a call from El Trumpito. Then
27:53
Speaker 3: all this magnus the forty fifth and forty seventh president
27:55
Speaker 3: of these United States. And this is going to be
28:01
Speaker 3: an interesting one because I think that Venezuela might be
28:04
Speaker 3: running out of steam. Don't go anywhere.
28:07
Speaker 5: This is America.

28:59
Speaker 3: putting a couple of signature pieces of merchandise that people
29:03
Speaker 3: have asked for over the years. People keep asking for
29:05
Speaker 3: the camouflage with American flag mixed liberty loving Latino hat.
29:10
Speaker 3: The cap kind of looks like a mega hat, but
29:12
Speaker 3: it's camouflage with the American flag on it. This was
29:15
Speaker 3: a staple for us early on in the show and
29:18

29:51
Speaker 3: shall continue. Now, you heard Bill Gates, you heard about
29:54
Speaker 3: the lab grown stuff. You've heard a number of things,
29:59
Speaker 3: quite frank. But one of the things that I think
30:02
Speaker 3: is important for us to remember is that sometimes people say, listen,
30:09
Speaker 3: you're nuts, You're absolutely crazy. If you think this is
30:14
Speaker 3: how it works, but some people are actually losing their
30:20
Speaker 3: their minds. And you know, mental health is a focus
30:25
Speaker 3: not only just during the holidays, but here on this program.
30:29
Speaker 3: And why wouldn't I play a clip that A talks
30:35
Speaker 3: about this as America and B It just makes a
30:39
Speaker 3: whole lot of sense. Listen to this.
30:44
Speaker 15: A em ere, I see.
30:56
Speaker 11: That's where yet? Okay, that's where yet? Because maybe some
31:00
Speaker 11: of y'all got confused of where you landed. Maybe you know,
31:04
Speaker 11: they messed up the ticket or something like that. Maybe
31:06
Speaker 11: you thought you was going somewhere else. But but this
31:08
Speaker 11: is where you at.
31:10
Speaker 5: You this is America.
31:12
Speaker 11: Okay. Now, we've never cared about you know, whether it
31:16
Speaker 11: was Buddha or or or some deities or any that
31:20
Speaker 11: America's We've never cared. Okay, whether you whether you whether
31:23
Speaker 11: you get down on the at the north or south
31:25
Speaker 11: at twelve o'clock, whether you do it at three o'clock
31:27
Speaker 11: or whatever, we don't care. We never care. Some people
31:30
Speaker 11: don't believe in God at all. Okay, that's your personal
31:33
Speaker 11: situation with your own eternal salvation. We don't care about that, right,
31:37
Speaker 11: But what we're not gonna do is sit back and
31:41
Speaker 11: have you strong arm a whole and make us do
31:45
Speaker 11: what you Oh no, this is America, Jack, Now, now
31:50
Speaker 11: we have a problem. Now we are in a situation. Now, okay,
31:54
Speaker 11: and let me tell you something, You Republicans, you better
31:57
Speaker 11: get the molasses out your ass.
32:00
Speaker 10: Now.
32:00
Speaker 11: I'm trying to tell you now because these people done
32:03
Speaker 11: came in through the back door, the side door. Somebody
32:06
Speaker 11: didn't let the window open. They coming in through the roof,
32:09
Speaker 11: trying to just rare page all of Now we gotta
32:12
Speaker 11: worry about walking over people in the middle of the
32:15
Speaker 11: side gulf at four o'clock in the afternoon because they
32:19
Speaker 11: got rugs and everything else out said, Hey man, listen,
32:22
Speaker 11: let me tell you something. This is the United States
32:25
Speaker 11: of America. Now, you better get that through your head.
32:30
Speaker 11: And it seems to me that Americans need to get
32:33
Speaker 11: that through their head first. You so busy trying to
32:38
Speaker 11: just welcome everybody. Oh, this is the melting pot of cultures. Yeah,
32:42
Speaker 11: but it's a melting pot of cultures in America's kitchen.
32:47
Speaker 11: Understand Now, I don't know what you're gonna do. I
32:52
Speaker 11: don't know how you're gonna do it, but you better
32:53
Speaker 11: figure it out because I can tell you right now,
32:56
Speaker 11: I'm not wearing nothing over my head. So I'm just
33:00
Speaker 11: making that announcement to you now. I'm not wearing anything
33:02
Speaker 11: over my head on my ankles. Oh well, you can't
33:05
Speaker 11: show your face, your fingernails and this, that and the
33:07
Speaker 11: other or whatever it is or whatever. I'm not doing
33:09
Speaker 11: nothing that I don't want to do because I'm in America, hope. Okay,
33:15
Speaker 11: So somebody better do something, and you better get it
33:18
Speaker 11: done fast because I'm not.
33:22
Speaker 3: Okay.
33:22
Speaker 11: Don't don't touch me, don't call my name, don't face
33:25
Speaker 11: shit to me.
33:25
Speaker 15: Oh, because the answer is no.
33:29
Speaker 3: That's Meghan mcglover and she's weighing in online about the
33:35
Speaker 3: push towards cultural acceptance of religions that are contrary to
33:43
Speaker 3: many religions that are well established here in the West.
33:48
Speaker 3: In particular, she's talking about not putting something on her head.
33:52
Speaker 3: That's a reference to the hit job to Islam, and
33:57
Speaker 3: not that I'm a defender of Islam. I'm a defender
33:59
Speaker 3: of Christianity and they don't I think, have to be
34:02
Speaker 3: mutually exclusive per se. But for the sake of absolutism
34:07
Speaker 3: in the Christian faith, they aren't right. It's not with Islam,
34:11
Speaker 3: it's any other faith, right. Christianity is an absolutist thing,
34:14
Speaker 3: and I'm an absolutist adherent. But what I'll say to
34:19
Speaker 3: her is you're not alone. There's a lot of people
34:23
Speaker 3: speaking up against the push towards cultural acceptance of Islam.
34:29
Speaker 3: And I don't mean accepting people for their religion. We've
34:32
Speaker 3: been living amongst Muslims for a long time. Many of
34:36
Speaker 3: us have said, hello, how are you have a good weekend?
34:38
Speaker 3: Take care? Oh, it's your holiday, super happy Ramadan? Happy, whatever? Right,
34:43
Speaker 3: all those things have happened. It's when the conversation ends.
34:48
Speaker 3: Like Charlie Kirk said that things get out of control,
34:51
Speaker 3: and that was true. When things stop, when people no
34:56
Speaker 3: longer are having the lighthearted conversations but are saying, you know,
34:59
Speaker 3: f you, I've got somewhere to go. This is not cool.
35:01
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. Now, my friends Houston, we have a problem.
35:07
Speaker 3: So I wonder when I look at this, I wonder
35:11
Speaker 3: to myself, what is the story here?
35:15
Speaker 4: Right?
35:15
Speaker 3: What ends up happening? What are we going to do?
35:18
Speaker 3: How do we do this? Well? I know that President
35:21
Speaker 3: Trump recently revoked the temporary protected status of people coming
35:27
Speaker 3: from Somalia, and a couple other places in not Dearborn, Michigan,
35:34
Speaker 3: but in Minnesota where they had that big population, that
35:39
Speaker 3: big Somali population. And I have to say, this is
35:44
Speaker 3: something that if it was done appropriately and accurately within
35:47
Speaker 3: the confines of the law, is his right. If it wasn't,
35:52
Speaker 3: then it wasn't. But there's few things that the president
35:54
Speaker 3: can do, like I just describe administrative, clerical things that
35:59
Speaker 3: are not going to be their fault per se. Right,
36:02
Speaker 3: there's a margin for error, at least there should be
36:06
Speaker 3: if there isn't one. And I think he's also not
36:09
Speaker 3: coming as a person soliciting a donation, right, he's soliciting advice.
36:16
Speaker 3: He's soliciting to rub off some influence, gain some influence,
36:21
Speaker 3: So he's not looking for the latter. So that being said,
36:28
Speaker 3: this I think opens a situation, right, opens an opportunity
36:33
Speaker 3: for those that are trying to have this conversation and
36:37
Speaker 3: have it earnestly saying you know what's going on here, Right,
36:41
Speaker 3: You've got Trump that's always maligned in the media, and
36:43
Speaker 3: he's not trying to create a Muslim band. He's trying
36:46
Speaker 3: to protect America, protect Western culture, protect the American way
36:52
Speaker 3: of life that seems to be under threat because of
36:56
Speaker 3: mass migration that would never have been legal but for
37:00
Speaker 3: Joe Biden. So what does one do? What is the
37:05
Speaker 3: proverbial next step? I wish I had the answer right
37:11
Speaker 3: This is one of those rhetoricals on on my end,
37:15
Speaker 3: I think that I can't be mad at somebody for
37:18
Speaker 3: succeeding in their religious conquest, but for myself for not
37:24
Speaker 3: doing better in my own. So that's kind of where
37:29
Speaker 3: I fall on this. But we'll continue to talk about it,
37:32
Speaker 3: and you know, put the facts out there as best
37:36
Speaker 3: as we can. Now, let me see, I think there
37:39
Speaker 3: was another thing I wanted to bring to you, but
37:43
Speaker 3: let me regroup. I'm going to take a pause right here.

38:02
Speaker 16: Under President Trump, America's laws, order and families will be protected.
38:11
Speaker 16: These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught
38:15
Speaker 16: because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. If you are
38:18
Speaker 16: here illegally, your next President Trump has a clear message
38:40
Speaker 16: for those that are in our country illegally. Leave now.
38:44
Speaker 16: If you don't, we will find you and we will

Speaker 2: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
39:36
Speaker 2: to speak with Rich Valdez.
39:38
Speaker 5: Oh, very good.
39:43
Speaker 3: The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
39:48
Speaker 3: of sofrito.
39:49
Speaker 4: Now here's Rich Valdez.
39:54
Speaker 3: All right, he goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez. Keeping your
39:56
Speaker 3: company heading into Thanksgiving week And and of course, a
40:00
Speaker 3: couple of things I want to get to. I always
40:02
Speaker 3: got something up my sleeve over here, and one of
40:04
Speaker 3: the things that I wanted to get into tonight was
40:08
Speaker 3: this clip of audio. Let me see if I could
40:10
Speaker 3: pull it up real quick, because I thought it was interesting.
40:14
Speaker 3: And let's see. Oh this is a good one. Here,
40:17
Speaker 3: hold on, bear with me, if I could find it
40:21
Speaker 3: on my desktop. Oh it's a funny one. Yeah. So
40:27
Speaker 3: this one is a comedian and she is very very
40:32
Speaker 3: very funny. This is a good one. This is a
40:35
Speaker 3: woman named Annie Howell, who's stand up comedian, and she
40:39
Speaker 3: makes the analogy of who she thinks would be better.
40:50
Speaker 3: Should it's more of a dichotomy, should it be the
40:55
Speaker 3: Democrats that protect the country or Republicans? And her response, well,
41:02
Speaker 3: I mean there's a reason she's a comedian. It is
41:05
Speaker 3: literally hysterical in my opinion. God, play the tape either.
41:10
Speaker 6: Right.
41:10
Speaker 17: They're saying we should separate liberals from one country conservatives
41:13
Speaker 17: another country.
41:15
Speaker 3: And when I heard that, I was like, oh no,
41:17
Speaker 3: we can't do that.
41:18
Speaker 16: If America ever goes to war, I want.
41:20
Speaker 17: Conservatives defending us, right, those guys that storm the capitol,
41:24
Speaker 17: that's who I want fighting for this country.
41:27
Speaker 3: Have you seen the photos they be on the battlefield
41:29
Speaker 3: with their horns and their fur.
41:32
Speaker 16: They'll be like Maria, imagine liberal snowflakes at war?
41:42
Speaker 3: Will they be on the battle of you being like.
41:45
Speaker 15: Oh my god, this is.
41:46
Speaker 3: Not a safe space.
41:51
Speaker 13: Why are there so many triggers?
41:57
Speaker 16: And the journal be like, show him are.
42:02
Speaker 3: That is the right pronoun? She goes on, But that
42:09
Speaker 3: was the part I wanted you to hear. Absolutely funny,
42:12
Speaker 3: right that you got people who otherwise might be liberal
42:16
Speaker 3: who say, you know, it's the conservatives, they want to
42:18
Speaker 3: defend them. Now, I'm not here to make that case
42:20
Speaker 3: per se, but I am here to say that I
42:24
Speaker 3: think it's very interesting because people oftentimes do prefer conservatives
42:33
Speaker 3: in a number of situations. A couple of years back,
42:35
Speaker 3: I remember did an article and maybe I'll find it
42:37
Speaker 3: and share it with you, but it was about how women,
42:41
Speaker 3: single women prefer to date conservative men as opposed to
42:45
Speaker 3: liberal men, and for a number of reasons. They felt safer,
42:48
Speaker 3: they felt more secure, they were willing to pay for
42:50
Speaker 3: the date, and they had jobs, just to name a few.
42:55
Speaker 3: But this stuff about going to war and bringing about
42:58
Speaker 3: peace and being strong, it's not for the week. And
43:02
Speaker 3: President Trump's been trying to get peace in him at
43:04
Speaker 3: least for quite a while. He's getting closer to that.
43:07
Speaker 3: He's also been trying to get peace in Russia, between
43:10
Speaker 3: Russian and Ukraine. And I know that that's no easy task, right,
43:17
Speaker 3: no small task, because everybody's going for broke. But I
43:23
Speaker 3: guess my question is what will happen with this Ukraine deal?
43:28
Speaker 3: How do we move forward with the Ukraine deal? Are
43:31
Speaker 3: the are the United States, I guess coalition that we have,
43:38
Speaker 3: are they going to be purely advisory. Are they going
43:41
Speaker 3: to do training those that are on the ground in
43:44
Speaker 3: the region, what do we do? How intensive does the
43:48
Speaker 3: help get? And not saying I want it to be
43:50
Speaker 3: very intensive, I'm just saying how deep does it go?
43:55
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do know that our friends
43:58
Speaker 3: at Newsmaxs are reporting that Trumps at big progress in Ukraine.
44:03
Speaker 3: Regarding the peace talks. President Trump signaled that earlier this
44:08
Speaker 3: week Monday yesterday, that something good may be emerging from
44:13
Speaker 3: the Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, while cautioning don't believe
44:18
Speaker 3: it until you see it. And I think that's very
44:21
Speaker 3: very good advice. Trump's commitment on true social came just
44:24
Speaker 3: hours after Secretary of State Mark Or Rubio praised the
44:27
Speaker 3: tremendous progress in negotiations on Sunday, Rubio saying, quote, it
44:34
Speaker 3: is very possible that big progress is being made in
44:39
Speaker 3: peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Don't believe it until
44:43
Speaker 3: you see it, but something good just might be happening.
44:46
Speaker 3: And that's a quote from Trump. So both the White
44:52
Speaker 3: House and the Presidential quarters in Kiev have released a
45:00
Speaker 3: joint statements that they produced saying that they have a
45:04
Speaker 3: refined peace framework because after this first day on Sunday
45:11
Speaker 3: of talks in Geneva, I think they felt that they
45:15
Speaker 3: needed more of a control on the process. Rubio said.
45:21
Speaker 3: It was probably the most productive day that we've had
45:23
Speaker 3: in hammering out unresolved issues on Trump's peace proposal. And
45:27
Speaker 3: of course US and Ukrainian officials are reviewing Trump's proposed
45:31
Speaker 3: twenty eight point framework aimed at ending the war. Kiev
45:35
Speaker 3: says it won't accept concessions that weaken its sovereignty, while
45:41
Speaker 3: Russia's direct role in negotiations remains unclear. The discussions marked
45:45
Speaker 3: the most serious diplomatic moment in this process in months,
45:50
Speaker 3: and I got to say, I think I agree with
45:52
Speaker 3: that because it has not been easy. Right, This has
45:58
Speaker 3: been a very contentious process, and I, for the for one,
46:04
Speaker 3: if I can share, I am just tapped out. I
46:10
Speaker 3: don't know that there's much more that anybody could add
46:14
Speaker 3: to the conversation, let alone me. Right, I think you
46:18
Speaker 3: might need to have been there, Excuse me, I think
46:22
Speaker 3: you may have need to have been there in order
46:25
Speaker 3: to really accurately comment on what's going on. So anyway,
46:31
Speaker 3: that's that. Now I'm curious to know what the over
46:37
Speaker 3: and under is you know, how quickly before we actually
46:41
Speaker 3: get resolution, how quickly before the United States gets uh?
46:46
Speaker 3: I'm going to say it gets a win, right because
46:48
Speaker 3: I think you know, once they get in that tunnel,
46:50
Speaker 3: they're headed to where they got to go. It's a
46:52
Speaker 3: bigger question of of how we get there, because I
46:59
Speaker 3: do believe we're going to get there right, And I
47:03
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't have all the answers to be frank,
47:07
Speaker 3: but I'd love to know your thoughts. I want to
47:08
Speaker 3: hear from each and every one of you, So go
47:12
Speaker 3: ahead and you know, drop a comment or I was
47:16
Speaker 3: gonna say, give me a call, but the phone setup
47:19
Speaker 3: is not functional until the beginning of the year for
47:23
Speaker 3: many reasons that I'll get into in the beginning of
47:25
Speaker 3: the year. But I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys,
47:28
Speaker 3: my amigos, my radio, film media, and I do want
47:32
Speaker 3: to hear from you online. Though, I'd love to hear
47:35
Speaker 3: from you online. Talk to me about why you think
47:39
Speaker 3: this is being stalled and what we could do to
47:41
Speaker 3: speed it up this peace process with Ukraine. You know,

48:47

48:52
Speaker 3: gonna enjoy. And uh, of course Friday, back at it. Wednesday,
48:57

49:03
Speaker 3: I'll be on Newsmax TV. Make sure you log in
49:07
Speaker 3: to check that out as well. We having some really
49:09
Speaker 3: good conversation there and that was at Newsmax today and
49:12
Speaker 3: we were talking about the fight club that's forming against
49:17
Speaker 3: the Democrat minority leader in the Senate a guy named
49:23
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is under the gun, and hey,
49:30
Speaker 3: I think he brought this on himself, right, This is
49:32
Speaker 3: a problem that he created entirely of his own will
49:37
Speaker 3: volition and doing this is his issue and why because
49:42
Speaker 3: he's weak. He's weak. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is weak. People
49:47
Speaker 3: see that they're weak, and they're like, look, we're not
49:49
Speaker 3: going to keep having these Republican fundraisers and letting them
49:53
Speaker 3: raise all the money. We got to do something on
49:54
Speaker 3: our side, right, So the Democrats are freaking out and
49:56
Speaker 3: they say, you know what, Schumer is not the guy
49:58
Speaker 3: to do it. He's not able, he's not ready. Maybe
50:02
Speaker 3: he's not competent anymore. And so I'm with him. I
50:07
Speaker 3: think that Schumer is at the end of his road.
50:11
Speaker 3: I do believe that there was an election a couple
50:14
Speaker 3: of years ago, right, And timing plays a role in
50:17
Speaker 3: this stuff. A couple of years ago, Abigail Spamburger was
50:21
Speaker 3: saying things like defund the police as a travesty. We
50:24
Speaker 3: can't do that, we need to blah blah blah and
50:27
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. Well that has changed right where she's now.
50:33
Speaker 3: You know, I think more nuanced in her view, and
50:38
Speaker 3: she's happy to call on some of her friends to
50:41
Speaker 3: get her some of the policies and positions that she's
50:44
Speaker 3: looking for, including AOC. Abigail Spamburger I always have trouble
50:48
Speaker 3: saying that she called on AOC during this last campaign
50:52
Speaker 3: for a campaign stop to help her, you know, build awareness,
50:55
Speaker 3: raise money, bring people out, whatever the case is. So
51:00
Speaker 3: you tell me, is the party going left or what?
51:06
Speaker 3: When you're calling your first you're saying AOC and her
51:09
Speaker 3: tax are rich and and horrible policies for immigrants. You know,
51:17
Speaker 3: we don't want to do that. Right, This is an
51:18
Speaker 3: Abigail Spamburger saying she doesn't like it. And when I
51:21
Speaker 3: say horrible policies for immigrants, I mean allowing immigrants to
51:25
Speaker 3: run rampant or you know, abolish ice and things like that. Right,
51:29
Speaker 3: Spamberger said this is bad for crime, It was bad
51:31
Speaker 3: for the communities where she's represented. So she said no,
51:35
Speaker 3: thank you. Well that changed now Spamberger's running for governor
51:40
Speaker 3: won and she did it by way of asking for
51:43
Speaker 3: a final push from AOC. How about that. So it
51:49
Speaker 3: goes to show you that the party, at least the
51:52
Speaker 3: Democrat Party, the movement. The political left in our country
51:56
Speaker 3: and the left in our audience has gone first to
52:00
Speaker 3: the left, and that is interesting because I would love
52:05
Speaker 3: to know the flip side of that, how much of
52:07
Speaker 3: our audience has gone to the right or to the center.
52:11
Speaker 3: I think that happens too. But very very interesting stuff
52:15
Speaker 3: that's going on right now, Very interesting stuff. Now. Of
52:18
Speaker 3: course I'm going to wrap up in a moment, but
52:21
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to do that without sharing a few
52:24
Speaker 3: things with you. By the way, Doge, the Doge Committee
52:28
Speaker 3: that Elon Musk put together, that was disbanded because I
52:34
Speaker 3: guess you know, it's time came, which is why Elon
52:36
Speaker 3: Musk left and the other members were there. They had
52:39
Speaker 3: some outstanding reports, they picked those up and voil, as
52:43
Speaker 3: I understand it, no more Doge. So does that mean
52:48
Speaker 3: that we stop the cost cutting measures in Congress? Now?
52:50
Speaker 3: I think the President has always got his finger on
52:54
Speaker 3: what else he can cut and honestly on what else
52:56
Speaker 3: he can add, right because I think he realizes that
52:59
Speaker 3: America has certain needs that have been neglected for a
53:04
Speaker 3: long time, and I think he's willing to do what's
53:06
Speaker 3: necessary to try and get some of those things done.
53:09
Speaker 3: If that makes sense at all anyway, I want to
53:12
Speaker 3: continue with you, guys, and I say that in the
53:17
Speaker 3: most British, most British voice I can say it now.
53:22
Speaker 3: I mean, he goes. You know. Something that really is,
53:25
Speaker 3: I guess a pet peeve of mine or something that
53:27
Speaker 3: bothers me is the fact that you've got these Democrats
53:31
Speaker 3: and they're doubling down on things, doubling down on whether
53:37
Speaker 3: or not President Trump is actually issuing orders that are illegal.
53:45
Speaker 3: They know that he's not right, so they're trying to
53:47
Speaker 3: make it sound like, look, there's nothing wrong with us
53:49
Speaker 3: reminding people of the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not kill?
53:53
Speaker 3: What's wrong with me telling people thou shalt not kill? Well,
53:56
Speaker 3: it kind of makes the presumption that you think somebody's
53:58
Speaker 3: doing some killing, right, I think that's the accurate thing.
54:02
Speaker 3: If I tell you, hey, don't hit him in the
54:04
Speaker 3: head with a baseball bat, it doesn't mean that you're
54:07
Speaker 3: actually hitting anybody in the head with a baseball bat,
54:09
Speaker 3: but it does mean that I'm saying that, And people
54:12
Speaker 3: might draw the inference that, wow, he said don't hit
54:16
Speaker 3: somebody in the head with a baseball bat, And maybe
54:18
Speaker 3: I should stop what I'm doing right. And I'm making
54:22
Speaker 3: an extreme case here, but this is in fact how
54:26
Speaker 3: this goes. Now you've had over the weekend, Martha Radditz
54:31
Speaker 3: was pushing back on some of the members of Congress
54:35
Speaker 3: and how they were sharing their stories, as well as
54:39
Speaker 3: Amy Klobashar. Amy Klobashar was on the news and she
54:44
Speaker 3: was asked, which of the illegal orders is it that
54:46
Speaker 3: you're opposing the most, And of course it was a
54:49
Speaker 3: true question because they were all there doing the same thing.
54:53
Speaker 3: Listen to this.
54:54
Speaker 16: You know what the specific illegal acts are that your
54:59
Speaker 16: democratic colleg were referring to there.
55:01
Speaker 17: Well, it's very clear in this code for the military
55:05
Speaker 17: that you cannot follow unlawful orders, and you know that
55:09
Speaker 17: would be I'll just use an example. Some of the
55:12
Speaker 17: judges have now found in certain cities that it is
55:15
Speaker 17: not legal to send in the national Guard, and those
55:18
Speaker 17: national Guard members have come home, some of them are
55:20
Speaker 17: still there, but if they're a commander, were to tell them, hey,
55:23
Speaker 17: go out on the streets and do this, and that
55:25
Speaker 17: that's not following the order that is in law. So
55:30
Speaker 17: I just use that example. I'm sure my colleagues would
55:32
Speaker 17: have others. But the key is this has been a
55:35
Speaker 17: long time tenant of the American military, and it is
55:40
Speaker 17: very clearly right there, and that is all our colleagues
55:43
Speaker 17: were saying, and they have every right to say it.
55:46
Speaker 17: They have served our country bravely. They know what they're
55:48
Speaker 17: talking about. And then this president's answer was to basically
55:53
Speaker 17: tell them you retweeted someone else saying they should be hanged.
55:57
Speaker 3: I get Amy Globashore weighing in here and again, not
56:02
Speaker 3: able to make an example, right, not able to make
56:05
Speaker 3: an example of an unlawful order because there isn't one. Now.
56:10
Speaker 3: You also got Martha Radditt's ABC News asking the questions
56:14
Speaker 3: and pushing back when she also realizes, hold on a second,
56:17
Speaker 3: I don't think that actually happened.
56:19
Speaker 14: Listen to this, but I think it's important to know
56:23
Speaker 14: it's not hypothetical.
56:24
Speaker 11: Right.
56:24
Speaker 14: This president in the last administration, his last administration, asked
56:28
Speaker 14: his Secretary of Defense and his Chairman of the Joint
56:31
Speaker 14: Chiefs to quote, shoot at their legs at unarmed protesters
56:34
Speaker 14: in front of the White House that he wanted moved.
56:36
Speaker 17: Actually, I know, I know you're talking about Mark Esper's book.
56:39
Speaker 10: He didn't exactly say that.
56:40
Speaker 3: He didn't exactly say that, right, she's mischaracterizing what he said,
56:45
Speaker 3: hoping nobody would catch it, hoping they would go along.
56:47
Speaker 3: So kudos to you, Martha Raditt raddits, because the truth
56:52
Speaker 3: is the truth said.
56:54
Speaker 17: The President suggested that, but they were never ordered to
56:57
Speaker 17: do that.
56:57
Speaker 14: And he got out of the Oval office quickly that
57:00
Speaker 14: he wasn't told to actually do it. And I give
57:02
Speaker 14: him a lot of credit for that.
57:03
Speaker 3: Isn't it amazing how people will put words in your
57:07
Speaker 3: mouth and create scenarios for you and say, yeah, no,
57:10
Speaker 3: this was about to go down had he not done whatever.
57:12
Speaker 3: I mean, let me tell you, it's the idea of
57:16
Speaker 3: just slandering people at whichever side of the aisle you're on, right,
57:21
Speaker 3: It's just not a good thing. It's not a good thing.
57:25
Speaker 3: And I saw I'm grateful that there are places all
57:28
Speaker 3: over the place where, you know, we don't have to
57:32
Speaker 3: deal with some of these people, you know, places like church. Right,
57:37
Speaker 3: You're not going to find too many of these people
57:38
Speaker 3: in church. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Might have been over
57:42
Speaker 3: to top. Forgive me for that last joke, but I
57:44
Speaker 3: will I will say this. I think we're at the
57:51
Speaker 3: tail end of this story. I hope we are. Because
57:54
Speaker 3: it would be a shame to think that something's so crazy,
57:58
Speaker 3: something so silly like trying to do the right thing
58:06
Speaker 3: and make a suggestion, could be perverted and twisted and
58:11
Speaker 3: manipulated into something that it's clearly not, just clearly not.
58:16
Speaker 3: And I think it's high time we recognize things for
58:19
Speaker 3: what they are and stop just presuming things right, you
58:22
Speaker 3: know Tony Robbins, I saw a video with him where
58:24
Speaker 3: he said, close your you know, look look around, look
58:28
Speaker 3: for everything in here that's brown in color, and then
58:31
Speaker 3: close your eyes. And then he asked him, all right,
58:34
Speaker 3: read it all back to me, tell me what you see.
58:36
Speaker 3: And the guy was very good, very descriptive. I see this,
58:38
Speaker 3: not the other whatever, whatever. And then Tony Robbins says,
58:42
Speaker 3: all right, now open your eyes and look for things
58:44
Speaker 3: that are red. And he says, wow, I find even
58:46
Speaker 3: more stuff. And he says, now, if I were to
58:48
Speaker 3: ask if there was any red stuff in the room,
58:50
Speaker 3: you'd say, I don't know. I was looking at the
58:52
Speaker 3: brown stuff because that's what they were told to look at.
58:57
Speaker 3: And that was such a powerfully for me because I said,
59:01
Speaker 3: you know what, that's right. It makes a lot of
59:02
Speaker 3: sense with the American flag yesterday, today, and forever more right,
59:06
Speaker 3: once people get to know it and understand it, they
59:10
Speaker 3: kind of embrace it. My hope is that they embrace it.
59:13
Speaker 3: So anyway, a little food for a thought for you
59:15
Speaker 3: there watching the clock. It's time for me to bid
59:18
Speaker 3: you adio. I start a rosima. But you know what
59:21
Speaker 3: I always say, take care, good night, and God bless
59:24

Speaker 3: if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for anything.
