- 0:51Speaker 4: of course, and talk about battling the forces of wokeness
- 0:56Speaker 4: with some truth, one headline at a time, from the
- 0:58Speaker 4: concrete jungle here in the Big Apa to the palm
- 1:00Speaker 4: trees of Miami and wherever else you guys might be,
- 1:05Speaker 4: Puerto Rico, anybody else, everywhere else that's listening. I want
- 1:10Speaker 4: to say that no chebuena, Christmas Eve is just a
- 1:13Speaker 4: couple of days away. I can almost smell the pernil roasting.
- 1:17Speaker 4: That's the roasted pig shoulder. Ah, that is so good. Anyway,
- 1:23Speaker 4: I want to jump into a bunch of things. Like
- 1:26Speaker 4: we often say around here, freedom isn't free, but it's
- 1:29Speaker 4: worth every single penny.
- 1:30Speaker 5: So let's get at it.
- 1:31Speaker 4: I mean, he goes first up those national political headlines
- 1:34Speaker 4: that prove that America's comeback is in full swing under
- 1:37Speaker 4: President Trump. At turning Point USA's Amfest, the America Fest
- 1:41Speaker 4: down in Arizona, rap megastar Nicki Minaj made a surprise
- 1:45Speaker 4: appearance on stage with Erica Kirk. She's the one of
- 1:48Speaker 4: the great Charlie Kirk as you know. And let me
- 1:50Speaker 4: tell you, Nicki Minaj lit up like a cooky on caffeene.
- 1:55Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:55Speaker 4: She did an amazing job praising President Trump, standing up
- 1:59Speaker 4: for the Nigeria and Christians that are facing persecution. Talking
- 2:02Speaker 4: about a plot twist in the culture wars. Right, who
- 2:05Speaker 4: would have seen it, this gorgeous black rapper being the
- 2:08Speaker 4: biggest advocate for the America First policies. It was really
- 2:13Speaker 4: a welcome surprise, and I think she was extraordinarily well
- 2:18Speaker 4: received by the crowd. And to me, it was just
- 2:20Speaker 4: one of those things where it's like, look, this is
- 2:22Speaker 4: why I don't like to go to war with the lefties.
- 2:25Speaker 5: Why because they're not all die hard lefties. Right.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Nicki Minaus was critical of Trump at one point, and
- 2:30Speaker 4: she probably identified as a Democrat or supported Democrats.
- 2:33Speaker 5: She's Hollywood, after all. But guess what she.
- 2:36Speaker 4: Experienced life from a different perspective five years ago, six
- 2:39Speaker 4: years ago, during the COVID attack on our lives, she
- 2:42Speaker 4: was talking about how she had a cousin that didn't
- 2:45Speaker 4: want to take the vaccine, and then she was criticized
- 2:48Speaker 4: and ridiculed by some people and realized, hey, hold on,
- 2:50Speaker 4: whatever happened to my free speech? People don't realize her.
- 2:52Speaker 4: They don't consider I should say that an artist, a
- 2:56Speaker 4: recording artist, a journalist on it, a broadcaster, anybody who speaks, comedians,
- 3:05Speaker 4: they speak for a living. They're out there sharing the ideas.
- 3:08Speaker 4: These people are the biggest advocates for free speech you're
- 3:12Speaker 4: ever gonna find. This is why I proudly display the microphone,
- 3:17Speaker 4: the headphones, the Statue of Liberty, the American flag all
- 3:20Speaker 4: that that's tattooed on my forearm because I support our liberty,
- 3:25Speaker 4: I support our right to free speech, and I want
- 3:27Speaker 4: everybody to know it. It's important that we never let
- 3:30Speaker 4: go of that. The minute they do, it's the minute
- 3:31Speaker 4: you won't hear me anymore. Right, somebody will silence me
- 3:34Speaker 4: here or you or anybody else. That's not something we
- 3:36Speaker 4: can allow. So anyway, kudos to Nicki Minaj. I got
- 3:39Speaker 4: some clips we're gonna play. We're gonna dig into what
- 3:41Speaker 4: she said, and she said a lot. She said a lot,
- 3:44Speaker 4: so did a lot of other People's a lot of
- 3:46Speaker 4: people there, and we're gonna get into that as well
- 3:48Speaker 4: as much of it as we can.
- 3:49Speaker 5: I think there's probably too much for the time that
- 3:51Speaker 5: we have together.
- 3:52Speaker 4: But in other news, you've got the Trump administration cleaning
- 3:55Speaker 4: house overseas, recalling nearly thirty ambassadors that were appointed the
- 4:00Speaker 4: old regime, no more Biden holdovers, and making room for
- 4:04Speaker 4: loyal diplomats who put America first. Like our buddy Sergio
- 4:07Speaker 4: Goru served in the White House, he served Trump in
- 4:10Speaker 4: the private sector, and now he's his excellency, the Ambassador
- 4:15Speaker 4: to India and a special envoy for South Asia. So
- 4:18Speaker 4: kudos to him for being there, but we need more
- 4:22Speaker 4: like him, and I think that's the plan that they
- 4:23Speaker 4: were making today in making space for some new diplomats.
- 4:27Speaker 4: Kudos to everybody who's involved in that move. That's you know,
- 4:31Speaker 4: you gotta make moves on these things, so no more
- 4:34Speaker 4: deep state holdovers. Plan foot seat with the foreign foes.
- 4:38Speaker 4: And check this out. Trump's torching the Barak who's saying
- 4:43Speaker 4: Obamacare yet again, calling out insurance companies that are owned
- 4:47Speaker 4: by Democrats while announcing a massive.
- 4:51Speaker 5: Golden fleet of battleships. That's right.
- 4:54Speaker 4: The President held a press conference at mar A Lago
- 4:57Speaker 4: to announce the golden fleet of battleships hundred times more
- 5:00Speaker 4: powerful than anything we've seen before. And man, that's good news, right.
- 5:05Speaker 4: It looks like we're winning on every angle here. The
- 5:09Speaker 4: left is obviously going to whine about the Epstein files.
- 5:12Speaker 4: And I was on news Max this weekend. I have
- 5:14Speaker 4: a video out on Twitter or somewhere wherever I shared it,
- 5:18Speaker 4: I didn't get to share it everywhere.
- 5:19Speaker 5: It's been like a whirldwood.
- 5:20Speaker 4: I've been I've had more time off than I've had
- 5:22Speaker 4: in a long time, and I've been busier than I've
- 5:25Speaker 4: been in a really long time, So forgive me if
- 5:28Speaker 4: you haven't heard from me much on Socialist As. I've
- 5:30Speaker 4: been doing stuff with news Max Christmas parties all over
- 5:33Speaker 4: the place, which is really good because it's one of
- 5:36Speaker 4: the few times in the year that I'm out this much.
- 5:39Speaker 4: So anyway, the Epstein files now they're trying to impeach Pambondi, right,
- 5:45Speaker 4: that's the latest move. They want to impeach her for
- 5:48Speaker 4: not delivering on their witch hunt.
- 5:52Speaker 5: I have been the though. These people, it's like they
- 5:53Speaker 5: don't learn and they don't care.
- 5:54Speaker 4: Though, and I'll say if excuses were like in Binalas right,
- 5:59Speaker 4: like Delos, then these people would be stuffed.
- 6:03Speaker 5: They would have a feast.
- 6:04Speaker 4: Anyway, I also have a heartwarming human interest story to
- 6:09Speaker 4: kind of warm your soul.
- 6:10Speaker 5: This Cafeli's noviad. Right, it's.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Appropriately time with no check when no check wine is
- 6:18Speaker 4: Christmas Eve. It's what we celebrate in my family. It's
- 6:22Speaker 4: you know, literally translated to the good night, and you
- 6:26Speaker 4: know it's midnight Mass and then party. It's almost like
- 6:29Speaker 4: New Year's right, It's a fantastic time. And you've heard
- 6:33Speaker 4: me say this before. And you know in Puerto Rico,
- 6:35Speaker 4: not necessarily here it's kind of hard to do it here.
- 6:38Speaker 4: But people go knock on each other's doors and having
- 6:41Speaker 4: traditional drinks and just enjoying themselves in the streets, bringing
- 6:46Speaker 4: out some instruments and you know, taking the moroccas, the guitar,
- 6:49Speaker 4: the congas, whatever instruments you got, and singing Christmas carols,
- 6:53Speaker 4: which they call agianados, and they sing them up and
- 6:56Speaker 4: down the street. They sometimes add cars to the mix
- 6:59Speaker 4: and then they it becomes like a whole parade, a
- 7:00Speaker 4: caravan called up Paranda. And I tell you, every year
- 7:04Speaker 4: I want to do it, and every year something comes
- 7:06Speaker 4: up where I can't do it. I was really hoping
- 7:08Speaker 4: to be in Puerto Rico for Christmas this year, and
- 7:11Speaker 4: with any luck, I will be. I'm just waiting on
- 7:15Speaker 4: a couple of moving parts, had some delays in my plants. Anyway,
- 7:19Speaker 4: there is more to come straight ahead. And the thing
- 7:24Speaker 4: I wanted to get into though before I left, was
- 7:29Speaker 4: that people stand up for things right. And this heartwarming
- 7:33Speaker 4: story I was mentioning to you. It's a story of faith,
- 7:38Speaker 4: it's a story of resilience, and that's a beautiful thing.
- 7:44Speaker 4: Now in one of these Bible belt towns down south,
- 7:47Speaker 4: some of the local residents are defying their mayor's Gridshey
- 7:52Speaker 4: request to yank down a Nativity display that's on public land,
- 7:56Speaker 4: and they're saying, ah ah, not on our watch. They
- 8:00Speaker 4: turned it into a community stand for faith and freedom.
- 8:03Speaker 4: It's got the townspeople rallying with hot cocoa and hymns.
- 8:08Speaker 4: They're out there proving that the true spirit of Christmas
- 8:11Speaker 4: truly can't be canceled. And as you've heard people quip
- 8:15Speaker 4: in the past, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Well how about this one. If it's addativity, don't nix it.
- 8:22Speaker 5: I love that.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Anyway, We got some heartwarming stuff right there, and I
- 8:27Speaker 4: want to remind you, or at least this reminds me,
- 8:30Speaker 4: maybe it should remind all of us of why we
- 8:33Speaker 4: need to fight for our traditions. Anyway, Shifting to some
- 8:38Speaker 4: important medical news, because sting healthy means more time with
- 8:41Speaker 4: our familias. After decades of being dismissed by the medical elite,
- 8:46Speaker 4: something known as chronic lyme diseases, finally getting the recognition
- 8:50Speaker 4: it deserves. Turns out it's not just in your head
- 8:53Speaker 4: and new studies show that if you're feeling the holiday
- 8:57Speaker 4: blues like depression and anxiet, that actually might jack up
- 9:02Speaker 4: your heart disease risk. Right, So it's not just oh,
- 9:05Speaker 4: it's in your head, you're just having panic. No, that
- 9:08Speaker 4: stuff actually takes a toll on your heart health. So
- 9:13Speaker 4: what do we gotta do. We got to prioritize our
- 9:15Speaker 4: mental health with prayer, with exercise, obviously eating better. You know,
- 9:21Speaker 4: none of those guaba pastries like the ones I have
- 9:23Speaker 4: to have. I have them from the Dominican place. I
- 9:26Speaker 4: have them from the Cuban place. I have them from
- 9:28Speaker 4: the Columbian place, the Cuban place. There's so many good
- 9:31Speaker 4: restaurants near me, and I enjoy anything with guaba and cheese.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Oh man, Anyway, announce the prevention is worth a pound
- 9:42Speaker 4: of cure. So keep that in mind and we'll talk
- 9:45Speaker 4: about that too a little bit more down the road.
- 9:48Speaker 4: And don't go anywhere because coming up in the show
- 9:51Speaker 4: in a little bit, I've got a special guest for us,
- 9:54Speaker 4: Kevin Smith. You remember him, Long Island Loud Majority. He's
- 9:57Speaker 4: a firebrand conservative activist. He's on Rumble every day on
- 10:02Speaker 4: his show on Rumble, which you need to check out
- 10:04Speaker 4: and he'll tell us all about it. But he was
- 10:06Speaker 4: at Amfest and he's going to be our man on
- 10:08Speaker 4: the ground there giving us the scoop, and you don't
- 10:12Speaker 4: want to miss that. Plus, with all of the chaos
- 10:16Speaker 4: in the headlines, it makes us think are we doing enough,
- 10:20Speaker 4: are we doing the right thing? Are we taking a
- 10:23Speaker 4: back seat? Or do we need to step up? Well,
- 10:26Speaker 4: we're going to talk about that more and more because
- 10:28Speaker 4: we don't want to get to a point where Christmas
- 10:31Speaker 4: is being canceled or even worse like New Year's. All right,
- 10:35Speaker 4: New Year's being canceled right now in Paris. You heard
- 10:37Speaker 4: about that a couple of weeks ago. I mean, this
- 10:40Speaker 4: is horrible. Now things are so bad that the propaganda's
- 10:43Speaker 4: are in full swing. I've got people in my own
- 10:45Speaker 4: family texted me this morning saying, did you hear they
- 10:47Speaker 4: canceled New Year's? I said, yeah, in France and they
- 10:50Speaker 4: said no, no, no, They've canceled it here in New
- 10:52Speaker 4: York City. And I thought to myself, dud, would you
- 10:54Speaker 4: imagine the real implications of canceling Christmas without a pandemic
- 10:59Speaker 4: like in the name of terrorism. I don't know if
- 11:01Speaker 4: it would work, And I don't mean Christmas, I mean
- 11:03Speaker 4: New Year's. But man, we're going to talk about that.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Judgejenine Piro wighed in on the Fox News Channel and
- 11:07Speaker 4: we got a clip of that, and I want to
- 11:09Speaker 4: talk about that because also Telsea Gabbard spoke about that
- 11:11Speaker 4: in the great speech that she gave at America Fest.
- 11:15Speaker 4: Lots to discuss. Keep it locked right here, don't go anywhere.
- 11:18Speaker 4: I'm rich Valdez.
- 11:19Speaker 1: This is America.
- 11:24Speaker 2: And you know when you look at all of that,
- 11:26Speaker 2: you know people can come on and they can tell
- 11:28Speaker 2: you that crime is down. But as you know, it's
- 11:31Speaker 2: the perception, and it's the report that you just had
- 11:33Speaker 2: a few minutes ago, Dana, where people think about Bondi Beach,
- 11:37Speaker 2: people think about Look, I was just in Paris and
- 11:40Speaker 2: they it's a beautiful city at the hour for the holidays,
- 11:44Speaker 2: and they just canceled the New Year's Eve celebration in
- 11:47Speaker 2: the Chanso Lyse because they're worried about a terrorist threat.
- 11:51Speaker 2: So what's happening across the world is that people are
- 11:54Speaker 2: starting to be fearful as they were years ago because
- 11:59Speaker 2: of what we're seeing because those of the anti Semitism,
- 12:02Speaker 2: and then.
- 12:02Speaker 4: On the oh, hang on, right there, hold on one second, judge,
- 12:05Speaker 4: because you're onto something big here.
- 12:07Speaker 5: This is a big deal. This is a big deal.
- 12:10Speaker 4: When I wake up to text messages from my family saying, hey,
- 12:14Speaker 4: did you hear that they're canceling New Year's Eve in
- 12:17Speaker 4: New York City, I've got to ask myself what's going on? Right,
- 12:22Speaker 4: something's definitely going on where people are living in such fear. Now.
- 12:26Speaker 4: I think that the consumption of social media is is
- 12:29Speaker 4: a big thing.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Right.
- 12:30Speaker 4: It used to be people watched the news at five o'clock,
- 12:34Speaker 4: at six o'clock, you know whatever, eleven o'clock news early
- 12:37Speaker 4: in the morning.
- 12:38Speaker 5: But that was it.
- 12:40Speaker 4: It wasn't twenty four hour news, which used to just
- 12:43Speaker 4: be on cable TV. Now it's on streaming TV. Now,
- 12:46Speaker 4: it's in our phone, right, it's in your news feed,
- 12:49Speaker 4: on your Instagram, on your TikTok, on your Twitter. I mean,
- 12:52Speaker 4: first of all, if you're on Twitter, you're getting it
- 12:55Speaker 4: right because there's no escaping that.
- 12:57Speaker 5: So what does all of this boiled down to.
- 13:00Speaker 4: I think we overindulge on media, and that's not necessarily
- 13:07Speaker 4: me telling you not to listen to my show. That's
- 13:10Speaker 4: in many ways me telling you to diversify. Listen to me,
- 13:14Speaker 4: but make sure that I don't.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Go overboard, right.
- 13:17Speaker 4: I Mean there's days where it's heavy on news, but
- 13:18Speaker 4: for the most part, we want to hear the funny,
- 13:20Speaker 4: silly things, right, the things that help us blow off
- 13:22Speaker 4: some steam. These things are important. We got to do
- 13:26Speaker 4: this stuff so and you've got to do this stuff right.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Go to the gym, take that kickboxing class, do whatever
- 13:33Speaker 4: it is you do to you know, blow off that
- 13:37Speaker 4: steam and don't be all in on the news all
- 13:40Speaker 4: the time. I've been a news junkie for years, you know,
- 13:42Speaker 4: like literally, if it goes too long, like a day,
- 13:46Speaker 4: a day and a half where I haven't really tapped in,
- 13:49Speaker 4: you know, I start twitching, I get withdraw I like,
- 13:51Speaker 4: what's going on? Let me check my Twitter. I'll even,
- 13:54Speaker 4: you know, call my friends. I'll call mister producer from
- 13:56Speaker 4: the Mark Levin Show and be like, hey, bro, what's
- 13:58Speaker 4: going on? What do you know that I don't know?
- 13:59Speaker 4: What hasn't reported it? You know who's talking to you?
- 14:02Speaker 4: Because you know, being in this world, you tend to
- 14:04Speaker 4: get texts from different people for different things, whether it's
- 14:07Speaker 4: you know, hey, what are you doing this weekend? Or
- 14:08Speaker 4: Merry Christmas or whatever, or did you hear did you
- 14:11Speaker 4: hear blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 14:14Speaker 5: So anyway, my point is.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Good unsuspecting people that mean well, that want to do
- 14:22Speaker 4: the right thing.
- 14:24Speaker 5: With life.
- 14:26Speaker 4: Right, they're just here to go to work, pay their taxes,
- 14:28Speaker 4: raise their children. These people are now concerned with a
- 14:34Speaker 4: terrorist attack thinking that New York City is not gonna
- 14:37Speaker 4: allow New Year's Eve. Now, of course it's fake, it's phony,
- 14:40Speaker 4: it's for aud it's a hoax. New York City will
- 14:42Speaker 4: definitely have New Year's Eve. But the New Year's Eve
- 14:46Speaker 4: party in Paris, France at the Champ de Lyze, it's
- 14:50Speaker 4: not happening.
- 14:52Speaker 5: And that's a reality.
- 14:55Speaker 4: And this is something that we shouldn't just accept or
- 14:59Speaker 4: take lying down. This is so then we have to
- 15:00Speaker 4: stop and really say, hold on a second, we got
- 15:02Speaker 4: to make sure that we handle this stuff. Now, judging
- 15:05Speaker 4: I Pier wasn't done. I cut her off because I
- 15:07Speaker 4: wanted to say that. But the rest of what she's
- 15:10Speaker 4: about to say is equally as profound, because it's about
- 15:13Speaker 4: what's going on in the world.
- 15:15Speaker 5: Listen to this.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Their aspect you've got this global these of the transnational
- 15:20Speaker 2: narco terrorist where my office was actually involved in writing
- 15:26Speaker 2: the warrant that was finally sized for the seizure of
- 15:29Speaker 2: that signed the seizure of that vessel, the Skipper off
- 15:33Speaker 2: the coast of Venezuela. Because this is an international focus
- 15:38Speaker 2: on crime that is coming out of DC that's impacting
- 15:42Speaker 2: Americans and the terrible narcotics trafficking that's affecting all of us.
- 15:47Speaker 2: So you know, there is a need for law and order.
- 15:51Speaker 2: There is a need for a president who's going to
- 15:53Speaker 2: take it seriously, and President Trump is and the Attorney
- 15:57Speaker 2: General is, and we're seeing the benefits in terms.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Of the number. Well amen to that.
- 16:02Speaker 4: And I just want to let you know today was
- 16:04Speaker 4: announced that there is a third vessel that Maludo has
- 16:08Speaker 4: tried to move out. Of course, I'm talking about Nicolas Maludo,
- 16:11Speaker 4: the self proclaimed president of Venezuela. He tried to move
- 16:15Speaker 4: another vessel around that, according to the United States, is
- 16:19Speaker 4: violating sanctions. And it's one more that we've now boxed in.
- 16:23Speaker 4: So it's only a matter of time before he's got
- 16:26Speaker 4: no more oil and we've got it all. And I
- 16:29Speaker 4: never thought, you know, i'd be rooting on something that
- 16:32Speaker 4: somebody's gonna say Trump is a pirate, the United States
- 16:36Speaker 4: are stealing. But in this case, it's one of those
- 16:38Speaker 4: things where these people need to be helped. The people
- 16:43Speaker 4: that are suffering under communism in Venezuela, the people that
- 16:45Speaker 4: are flooding the border in Colombia to Venezuelans that would
- 16:50Speaker 4: love to stay in Venezuela but they can't because they're
- 16:53Speaker 4: dying on the vine. There's no work there. When I
- 16:57Speaker 4: was in Colombia, I've shared this before, but I'll share
- 16:59Speaker 4: it again, every cab driver was Venezuelan. There's prostitution all
- 17:05Speaker 4: over Medighin at all hours of the day, all ages too.
- 17:09Speaker 4: And you start to you know, you go buy a
- 17:11Speaker 4: cup of coffee. You start seeing people and you go,
- 17:13Speaker 4: is this always like this? And they go they shake
- 17:15Speaker 4: their head like yeah, yeah, it's very popular. These women
- 17:18Speaker 4: are coming from Venezuela and they'll do anything to turn
- 17:20Speaker 4: a book. And you start to learn that many of
- 17:22Speaker 4: these women are Venezuelan and they're just trying to survive.
- 17:27Speaker 4: And that's the reality of unchecked immigration, when people are
- 17:30Speaker 4: able to sneak into a country, and that's what we're
- 17:34Speaker 4: seeing here right, Look at AOC's district. It's become prostitution central.
- 17:40Speaker 4: It's really a shame. Speaking of queens, Nicki Minaj, Nicki
- 17:44Speaker 4: Minaj pulling up to Amfest, surprising everybody in the crowd
- 17:50Speaker 4: and including me. I didn't think she was going to
- 17:52Speaker 4: be an Amfest and what she had to say, and
- 17:55Speaker 4: man's I feel like Nicki Minaj a couple of years
- 17:57Speaker 4: older than younger than me.
- 17:58Speaker 5: I'm a couple of years older than her, but.
- 18:00Speaker 4: I feel like she gets prettier and prettier each time
- 18:02Speaker 4: I see her, not just me, That's all I'm saying.
- 18:05Speaker 4: And no disrespect to her husband. I know she's married.
- 18:08Speaker 4: It's a compliment to both of you. Anyway, we're gonna
- 18:11Speaker 4: talk about Nicki Minaj and why she says that President
- 18:14Speaker 4: Trump and Jade Vance are quote unquote role models. Then
- 18:19Speaker 4: why she is standing up for the Christians that are
- 18:22Speaker 4: being slaughtered in Nigeria, and her conversation with Erica Kirk.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Plus we've got our buddy Kevin Smith from the Loud
- 18:29Speaker 4: Majority joining us in a moment.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere, I'm Rich Valdez.
- 18:34Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Bara In Glace or Primal Norodos Bara rich fald Is
- 18:56Speaker 3: e s Nos America all.
- 19:02Speaker 4: Right, I mean it goes welcome back rich Valdez here
- 19:05Speaker 4: with you this Monday night, keeping you company and giving
- 19:09Speaker 4: you all of the scoop on what's going on.
- 19:11Speaker 5: And I want to get.
- 19:12Speaker 4: Into the America Fest of course, Charlie Kirk's annual gathering. Right,
- 19:16Speaker 4: it was in my mind it was always the Seapack
- 19:19Speaker 4: for young kids, right, for high school and college people.
- 19:22Speaker 4: And I've never been to an Nfest. They were never
- 19:27Speaker 4: in the right place for me, right, Arizona's a little
- 19:29Speaker 4: out of the way for me, but nor I.
- 19:31Speaker 5: I think I've never really been invited to be a one, right.
- 19:36Speaker 4: I usually end up at Seapack because there's an invitation
- 19:39Speaker 4: to something there, and these are phenomenal conferences, no question.
- 19:43Speaker 4: I just tend to be always stuck to the microphone somewhere,
- 19:46Speaker 4: which I don't mind, right, I love doing what I do.
- 19:50Speaker 4: But just explaining why I wasn't there. But one of
- 19:54Speaker 4: my buddies was there, and we're gonna chat with him
- 19:56Speaker 4: in the next segment, Kevin Smith.
- 19:58Speaker 5: But I want you to hear a little bit about
- 19:59Speaker 5: what was said there.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Because Nicki Minaj is definitely the show stopper, even though
- 20:04Speaker 4: Vice President jd Vance I'm here, I'm burying the lead
- 20:08Speaker 4: basically launched his campaign for president a little bit early,
- 20:13Speaker 4: I would say, but Erica Kirk endorsing him for president
- 20:17Speaker 4: of the United States and him, you know, giving some
- 20:20Speaker 4: really conciliatory words regarding Charlie Kirk and the ongoing rift
- 20:26Speaker 4: that exists in the conservative movement, and a lot of
- 20:31Speaker 4: this in large parts circles around people that have always
- 20:35Speaker 4: been the closeted bigots feeling the license to expose themselves. Now,
- 20:41Speaker 4: this doesn't mean everyone that is critical or criticizing the
- 20:46Speaker 4: Israeli government or Prime Minister at Yahoo is an anti semi,
- 20:51Speaker 4: but I would say it's probably a large part of
- 20:55Speaker 4: those people, right, and then there's some out there that
- 20:58Speaker 4: are openly admitted they that they don't like the Jews.
- 21:02Speaker 4: But all that aside, we'll talk about the beef. Amongst
- 21:05Speaker 4: the different speakers that were there, I want to get
- 21:09Speaker 4: into Nicki Minaj because I think she again was the showstopper.
- 21:13Speaker 4: She's the one that everyone's going to report on. What
- 21:16Speaker 4: you know, some of the conservative influencers said about one
- 21:20Speaker 4: another will be reported in conservative media, but the everybody
- 21:25Speaker 4: media like Hollywood Reporter, CNN, you know, CBS News, all
- 21:31Speaker 4: that stuff, All of those guys are going to be
- 21:33Speaker 4: the ones that are reporting on what Nicki Minaj had
- 21:37Speaker 4: to say, because this is going to blow them away.
- 21:40Speaker 4: And honestly, it blew me away. I was like, Man,
- 21:43Speaker 4: I really wish I was at this event. Had I
- 21:44Speaker 4: known she was going to be there, I would have
- 21:46Speaker 4: made plans. And not that I'm a huge fan of
- 21:48Speaker 4: Nicki Minaj her music, although I am. I liked as
- 21:52Speaker 4: a handful of songs that I like, but I like
- 21:54Speaker 4: those songs a lot, But more so, I love where
- 21:57Speaker 4: she's at now, this new level of confidence and understanding
- 22:01Speaker 4: and I'm going to say understanding of herself and understanding
- 22:06Speaker 4: of where we are as a nation. And I think
- 22:08Speaker 4: she positioned it so well in what she talked about,
- 22:13Speaker 4: and she talked about a bunch of things. She talked
- 22:15Speaker 4: about the importance of speaking on politics with Erica Kirk.
- 22:20Speaker 4: She spoke about why it's important to have courage in
- 22:23Speaker 4: the face of backlash. She talked about why it's important
- 22:28Speaker 4: to stand up for Christians, the importance of speaking at Amfest,
- 22:35Speaker 4: and how that means something because of the fact that
- 22:38Speaker 4: most people are there to honor God in their politics.
- 22:43Speaker 4: I mean, really just impactful stuff. And ultimately she talked
- 22:47Speaker 4: about her love for Vice President Trump excuse me, Vice
- 22:51Speaker 4: President of Vance and President Trump.
- 22:53Speaker 6: This is something I know that's really important to you
- 22:56Speaker 6: then on your heart, and I just personally want to
- 23:00Speaker 6: know what inspired you to speak out for the Christians
- 23:04Speaker 6: that are being slaughtered in Nigeria.
- 23:08Speaker 7: Well, and that brings me back to our great president
- 23:15Speaker 7: and this administration and our great country that we take
- 23:20Speaker 7: for granted that they're right now in this world are
- 23:24Speaker 7: people who cannot worship God as they please, where they please.
- 23:29Speaker 7: We take it for granted because we have it. We
- 23:32Speaker 7: can't even imagine not having that right. But every time
- 23:39Speaker 7: we pray and fellowship, we have to remember the people
- 23:43Speaker 7: that are right now in this world hiding to pray
- 23:46Speaker 7: and fellowship, and we have to pray for them. And
- 23:51Speaker 7: first of all, Nigeria is a place I've always loved.
- 23:57Speaker 7: Someone very dear to me. My pastor is Nigerian. I
- 24:02Speaker 7: have lots of Nigerian barbs, and so hearing that people
- 24:10Speaker 7: are being kidnapped and while they're in church people are
- 24:15Speaker 7: being kidnapped, people are being killed brutalized all because of
- 24:22Speaker 7: their religion, and that should spark outrage in the Great America.
- 24:30Speaker 7: And that's what it did. And again, we're not backing
- 24:34Speaker 7: down anymore. We are not going to be silenced by
- 24:39Speaker 7: the bullies anymore. Okay, know that, hear that, receive that, bullies,
- 24:49Speaker 7: We won't be silenced ever again.
- 24:52Speaker 1: We will speak up.
- 24:53Speaker 7: For Christians wherever they are in this world.
- 24:58Speaker 5: Amen.
- 25:00Speaker 8: Amen, I don't know if you can see this at home,
- 25:07Speaker 8: but she is getting a ton of standing ovations.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Truly remarkable, I mean great to watch, too, great to
- 25:18Speaker 4: see what's going on. That wasn't the clip I was
- 25:20Speaker 4: thinking she did say she loved President Trump there, but
- 25:24Speaker 4: it was a different clip. Can we get the clip
- 25:26Speaker 4: if you can, where she says that President Trump and
- 25:30Speaker 4: Vice President Vance are role models. But before we get
- 25:33Speaker 4: to that, let's talk about this since we just listened
- 25:35Speaker 4: to this, a very impactful statement. Here you have this rapper,
- 25:39Speaker 4: I guess very little, right, something perhaps to a large
- 25:42Speaker 4: group of conservative Christians that are gathered for political purposes,
- 25:48Speaker 4: conservative politics, not necessarily the Nicki Minaj crowd.
- 25:53Speaker 5: Right, And look, I.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Myself like I said, I have maybe one or two
- 25:57Speaker 4: songs in my playlist. That doesn't mean I don't like
- 25:59Speaker 4: her music, but I'm just really not that active of
- 26:02Speaker 4: a fan. But I learned about her back in twenty twelve.
- 26:05Speaker 4: She had a song called super Bass. It was all
- 26:07Speaker 4: over the radio. I used to drive to Trenton, New
- 26:09Speaker 4: Jersey when I was working in the Christian administration back then,
- 26:12Speaker 4: and it was very popular. And my radio station would
- 26:16Speaker 4: change in the car, because I listened to radio even
- 26:18Speaker 4: for music, at least at that time, I did in
- 26:22Speaker 4: my car, and I would switch from the New York
- 26:24Speaker 4: market to the Philly market, so I would get staticky
- 26:28Speaker 4: and I'd have to change to the hip hop station,
- 26:32Speaker 4: which is ninety six in Philly and it's ninety seven
- 26:35Speaker 4: in ninety seven to one in New York. Long story, short,
- 26:39Speaker 4: good song. I thought she had talent, that thought she
- 26:41Speaker 4: had humor. Not every artist, rappers in particular, are able
- 26:47Speaker 4: to I should say they're not able to infuse humor
- 26:50Speaker 4: into their music. At least they're not allly able to
- 26:52Speaker 4: do it well, is what I'm trying to say. Right
- 26:54Speaker 4: Like Bad Bunny, I think, for example, many of you
- 26:57Speaker 4: may not be fans some of you might be. But
- 26:59Speaker 4: he's a very funny guy. His his lyrics are clever.
- 27:02Speaker 4: He uses a lot of humor. Henceforth why he likely
- 27:07Speaker 4: has hosted Saturday Night Live twice. He uses the humor
- 27:11Speaker 4: and it makes you laugh and chuckle in the midst
- 27:13Speaker 4: of bopping your head to the music. Nicki Minaj strikes
- 27:15Speaker 4: me the same way. And I love what she stands for.
- 27:18Speaker 4: I love how she's evolved as an adult, as a parent,
- 27:21Speaker 4: as a human being, as a sister and the Lord
- 27:23Speaker 4: all that fun stuff. But as a professional as a speaker,
- 27:27Speaker 4: you know, she handled herself with poise. I thought she
- 27:29Speaker 4: said a lot of interesting things. You give me a
- 27:31Speaker 4: lefty celebrity, Rosie O'Donnell. You think Rosie o'donald compares in
- 27:36Speaker 4: class in anything right in talent to Nicki Minaj. I
- 27:42Speaker 4: don't think so. Whether you're a fan or not, it's
- 27:43Speaker 4: just it isn't there. Now, let's see if we get
- 27:47Speaker 4: that clip of her discussing President Trump and Vice President Vanta.
- 27:54Speaker 7: You have amazing role models. Handsome, dashing president, and you
- 28:08Speaker 7: have amazing role models like the assassin.
- 28:14Speaker 5: JD.
- 28:15Speaker 7: Van's our vice president. And when I say that, I
- 28:21Speaker 7: trust me.
- 28:22Speaker 6: There's nothing new under the sun that I have not heard.
- 28:25Speaker 5: So you're fighting.
- 28:30Speaker 8: Yes, we did. I love it.
- 28:34Speaker 5: You have to laugh about it. Truly.
- 28:36Speaker 6: I have been called every single thing, and you know what,
- 28:38Speaker 6: God is so good you let it roll right off
- 28:40Speaker 6: your back. And this is what's so beautiful about this moment,
- 28:44Speaker 6: because if the Internet wants to clip it, who cares.
- 28:48Speaker 6: I love this woman. She's an amazing woman. She has
- 28:51Speaker 6: a soul and a heart for the Lord. And words
- 28:55Speaker 6: are words, but I know her heart and it doesn't
- 28:58Speaker 6: even matter. And you say you want to say, because
- 29:01Speaker 6: I know you're heard, I will not judge that.
- 29:04Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 29:06Speaker 5: And there you have the full context of the clip. Right.
- 29:08Speaker 4: They tried to ridicule, they tried to say this, and
- 29:11Speaker 4: whether she misspoke or not, she intentionally made the effort
- 29:16Speaker 4: to apologize. Erica Kirk made it clear there was no
- 29:19Speaker 4: ill will. But yet the media will do on purpose
- 29:23Speaker 4: what they always do. It's a shame and I want
- 29:26Speaker 4: to end with this. Nicki Minaja's thoughts on the Trump administration,
- 29:31Speaker 4: outside of being dashing and debonair, check this one out.
- 29:36Speaker 6: So with regard to the current administration, what has been
- 29:43Speaker 6: maybe the biggest surprise for you or something that you
- 29:47Speaker 6: just really has been put on your heart that you've
- 29:50Speaker 6: learned about our president and our vice president.
- 29:55Speaker 5: Well, I have.
- 29:59Speaker 7: The utmost respect an admiration for our president. He he
- 30:15Speaker 7: has I don't know if he even knows this, but
- 30:18Speaker 7: he's given so many people hope.
- 30:22Speaker 5: He's given so many people hope. You know what.
- 30:25Speaker 4: I'm old enough to remember a time when Donald Trump
- 30:28Speaker 4: influenced a lot of rappers and they were at all
- 30:31Speaker 4: of his parties, and he was at all of theirs.
- 30:33Speaker 4: And I feel like we're getting closer and closer to
- 30:35Speaker 4: getting back to that place. So there you have it.
- 30:40Speaker 4: Is America being made great again? I would say yes.
- 30:44Speaker 4: I'm sure some would say nope, it's just Nicki Minaj
- 30:47Speaker 4: going the wrong way, becoming a racist, white supremacist, islamophobe, homophobe,
- 30:53Speaker 4: and every other phobeist they can think of. More to
- 30:58Speaker 4: come straight ahead. Kevin Smith weighs in on all of it,
- 31:01Speaker 4: and the punctuation of the conversation between Nicky and Erica Kirk,
- 31:08Speaker 4: don't go anywhere.
- 31:09Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. Well, thank you, rich
- 31:27Speaker 1: and thank you for everything.
- 31:28Speaker 9: I know you very well, and I have I listened.
- 31:30Speaker 9: But I have a lot of people that listen and
- 31:33Speaker 9: they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.
- 31:39Speaker 6: Right now, have you have you been involved with speaking
- 31:43Speaker 6: about politics? What was kind of the.
- 31:46Speaker 8: The turning point for you?
- 31:50Speaker 7: What was the turning point? Well, I just got tired
- 31:55Speaker 7: of being pushed around. Yeah. Sometimes you just get tired
- 32:06Speaker 7: of it and then you realize, wait a minute, I
- 32:09Speaker 7: have something inside of me that's stronger than what's out there.
- 32:16Speaker 8: That's right.
- 32:17Speaker 7: So when you've had enough, you realize, wait a minute,
- 32:23Speaker 7: why do I even care about these people and what
- 32:26Speaker 7: they think? Who are they? They don't even know who
- 32:29Speaker 7: they are. So I'm not going to I'm not going
- 32:34Speaker 7: to back down anymore. I'm not going to back down
- 32:36Speaker 7: ever again.
- 32:37Speaker 6: Way.
- 32:40Speaker 4: So that is Erica Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk,
- 32:45Speaker 4: And that was America Fest this weekend with rap superstar
- 32:50Speaker 4: that Trinidaddy and Battie Queen herself, Nicki Minaj and I
- 32:55Speaker 4: want to get our buddy Kevin Smith. He's been waiting
- 32:57Speaker 4: in the wings on Mute on Hold on standby.
- 33:00Speaker 5: You know Kevin Smith.
- 33:01Speaker 4: He's got a great video podcast on rumble dot com.
- 33:05Speaker 4: He is one of the founders of the Long Island
- 33:08Speaker 4: Loud Majority. For those of you who were in the
- 33:10Speaker 4: audience from my New York days, I used to have
- 33:13Speaker 4: these guys on the radio talking about amazing activism they
- 33:16Speaker 4: were doing then, and they're doing it even more now
- 33:18Speaker 4: at the national level.
- 33:19Speaker 5: Kevin Smith, welcome.
- 33:20Speaker 9: My brother, have to go man, Thanks for having me.
- 33:23Speaker 4: It's going great, bro. Now I want to chat a
- 33:25Speaker 4: little bit about Amfest. What was you know, give us
- 33:29Speaker 4: I guess the play by play for everybody who's listening
- 33:31Speaker 4: who wasn't there.
- 33:32Speaker 5: What was the vibe like in the room with Nicki Minaj?
- 33:36Speaker 4: There were people kind of like saying, oh my gosh,
- 33:38Speaker 4: what are we doing here with this, you know, really
- 33:40Speaker 4: hot rapper chick? Or was it like, oh that's really cool.
- 33:43Speaker 4: We've got somebody you know out here, you know, Team Trump,
- 33:46Speaker 4: Team America. What was the vibe like?
- 33:49Speaker 9: You know, it was cool because everybody was shocked. Nobody
- 33:54Speaker 9: knew that was happening. You know, none of the people
- 33:56Speaker 9: who none of the influencer team, we had no idea
- 33:59Speaker 9: that it was going to be putting it. But it
- 34:01Speaker 9: was really cool because it was nice to see somebody
- 34:04Speaker 9: really stick their neck out for something that they seem
- 34:06Speaker 9: to truly believe in. You know, Nicki Minaj gained nothing
- 34:11Speaker 9: by going to Amfest. It's not like Christian Conservatives are
- 34:15Speaker 9: suddenly going to be listening to the hardcore rap music
- 34:17Speaker 9: from fifteen years ago, right, I mean I still well,
- 34:19Speaker 9: I still will, but that's what I grew up with.
- 34:22Speaker 9: So I don't think she gained anything. I think that
- 34:24Speaker 9: she felt strong about it. And you know, if we're
- 34:27Speaker 9: going to be the big Tent party, then we have
- 34:29Speaker 9: to welcome people in when they finally see the light.
- 34:32Speaker 9: And I think that was I think that's the macro.
- 34:37Speaker 9: The micro was was pretty cool that, you know, she
- 34:39Speaker 9: surprised everybody and popped in and now everybody is team Nicky,
- 34:44Speaker 9: so m it's pretty cool.
- 34:46Speaker 4: And Kevin Smith again, I think it's something you said.
- 34:50Speaker 4: Was really interesting to me, was that the big tent vibe.
- 34:55Speaker 4: It seemed very present there. Right, there's a lot of
- 34:58Speaker 4: Christians there. I think she's a Chris and it's gotten
- 35:00Speaker 4: a lot closer in her faith, which is what kind
- 35:03Speaker 4: of brought her I think, I'm gonna say, closer to
- 35:08Speaker 4: the conservative movement. I think Charlie Kirk extending an olive
- 35:12Speaker 4: branch to her back when she was getting beaten up
- 35:14Speaker 4: because she didn't want to take a COVID vaccine and
- 35:17Speaker 4: talking about her cousin who had become ill for taking
- 35:20Speaker 4: a COVID vaccine five six years ago. This was like,
- 35:24Speaker 4: like they said, all pun intended a turning point for her.
- 35:28Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if if you think that we're going
- 35:32Speaker 4: to see more of that in mainstream culture.
- 35:36Speaker 9: I mean, I hope. So obviously, there were a lot
- 35:38Speaker 9: of clips that went viral for you know, a lot
- 35:42Speaker 9: of big name conservatives who you know, had some pretty
- 35:46Speaker 9: some pretty stark differences with each other, you know, Ben
- 35:50Speaker 9: and Steve, Bannon and Tucker and Megan and everybody was
- 35:53Speaker 9: kind of going at each other. But you know, I
- 35:56Speaker 9: hope that over the course of the next year, many
- 35:58Speaker 9: of those people, because they the four of them, or
- 36:00Speaker 9: four of the biggest names in our movement, I hope
- 36:03Speaker 9: that they're able to put their differences aside for the
- 36:05Speaker 9: greater goal of the midterms in twenty twenty sixth and
- 36:08Speaker 9: preserving well preserving the ability for the Trump agenda to
- 36:12Speaker 9: really take off. So I hope they do. And look,
- 36:16Speaker 9: and I said this all the time, you know, if
- 36:18Speaker 9: you if you agree with me eight out of ten times,
- 36:21Speaker 9: then let's get it done. Let's put the two things
- 36:23Speaker 9: that we disagree with the way. I think not enough
- 36:26Speaker 9: attention was paid to the unifying speeches that were their
- 36:29Speaker 9: Erica Kurtz Bank Johnson's JD Vance basically I mean roll
- 36:34Speaker 9: in tench and Purposes launched his campaign Sunday night. So
- 36:39Speaker 9: I think that, you know, I think that a lot
- 36:43Speaker 9: of these people are gonna get over themselves soon enough
- 36:46Speaker 9: to soon to focus on the goal.
- 36:51Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, Well, I want to get into two
- 36:53Speaker 5: things that you just said.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Number One is I really hope that we can kind
- 36:56Speaker 4: of get over ourselves, because I don't know if this
- 36:58Speaker 4: is a get over yourself kind of moment. And what
- 37:00Speaker 4: I'm saying is, I'll give you my perspective on this, right.
- 37:03Speaker 4: I think that there's always been a group of people
- 37:08Speaker 4: in any political movement that are there for reasons other
- 37:12Speaker 4: than the reasons everyone else is there, if that makes
- 37:15Speaker 4: any sense.
- 37:16Speaker 5: Right.
- 37:16Speaker 4: So, what I mean is, like, for example, through the
- 37:18Speaker 4: years of me being involved in this stuff in media
- 37:20Speaker 4: and politics, I've met a lot of people that would
- 37:23Speaker 4: say things to me, you know, straight to my face
- 37:24Speaker 4: without trying to insult me, say things like, you know,
- 37:27Speaker 4: we're facing the brownification of America.
- 37:30Speaker 5: Oh snap, you're a brown guy, you know, or.
- 37:34Speaker 4: They would say things like look, man, you know they
- 37:36Speaker 4: would be very vocal against illegal immigration. But when you really,
- 37:39Speaker 4: when push comes to shove, it's not because it's a
- 37:43Speaker 4: violation of our national security. It's not because of anything
- 37:46Speaker 4: other than they were afraid of losing their culture.
- 37:50Speaker 5: And that can be your position.
- 37:52Speaker 4: I've met a lot of people that are, you know,
- 37:55Speaker 4: white European chauvinists. They want to continue being the majority
- 37:59Speaker 4: in this I have no issue with that. That's a fact,
- 38:03Speaker 4: and that's their prerogative. My position is just don't hide
- 38:08Speaker 4: and make it seem like you're all for national security
- 38:11Speaker 4: when it's really a cultural aspect that you're promoting. And
- 38:14Speaker 4: in the same way, I bring that up for no
- 38:16Speaker 4: personal privilege. It's really to make the point that there
- 38:19Speaker 4: have always been people, the David Dukes of the world,
- 38:22Speaker 4: that hid on the fringes of the Republican Party, and they,
- 38:27Speaker 4: for most intent and most purpose, I've never seen them
- 38:30Speaker 4: be accepted. Matter of fact, one of the biggest critics
- 38:32Speaker 4: I've ever seen of folks on the right that way.
- 38:36Speaker 4: The far right was Donald Trump even when he was
- 38:38Speaker 4: a Democrat. So I say that to say there's now
- 38:43Speaker 4: a push towards and I don't know if they're getting
- 38:45Speaker 4: support from the Russians, I would say they are. I
- 38:48Speaker 4: would say that a lot of this rhetoric is the
- 38:51Speaker 4: type of rhetoric we've been hearing Putin talk about for
- 38:53Speaker 4: a long time. But irrespective of the why, the question
- 38:57Speaker 4: becomes we now have these factions that think the Jews
- 39:01Speaker 4: are great people, and then there's those that anyone but Jews.
- 39:07Speaker 4: And I don't know that that's something like you said,
- 39:10Speaker 4: they can get over themselves. I don't know that that's
- 39:11Speaker 4: something people will get over. I think there are certain
- 39:13Speaker 4: people that have such deeply held resentment towards the Jews
- 39:17Speaker 4: that you're seeing it create not just a fissure, but
- 39:21Speaker 4: I'm going to say a fraction or a fracture in
- 39:26Speaker 4: the conservative movement.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:29Speaker 9: No, definitely. And this is something that I feel like
- 39:32Speaker 9: a lot of people in the mainstream are trying to
- 39:36Speaker 9: either ignore or downplay that there is a serious question
- 39:41Speaker 9: about this, and if it is not addressed, it will
- 39:44Speaker 9: it will be a look, you said, a serious fracture,
- 39:50Speaker 9: particularly among young people, and I feel like a lot
- 39:54Speaker 9: of them are just kind of sticking their nose and
- 39:56Speaker 9: they just sticking their head and the sand on it.
- 39:57Speaker 9: There is a faction that it's Israel. I'm not of
- 40:01Speaker 9: that action, but it is a furious number of people.
- 40:05Speaker 9: And unless those who are running with party start to understand,
- 40:10Speaker 9: I mean, like the institutional people at the UNC or
- 40:14Speaker 9: in Congress, in the House, unless they start to address
- 40:19Speaker 9: the concerns see you get here, what happens. Give It
- 40:22Speaker 9: happens when people have legitimate concerns or questions and then
- 40:29Speaker 9: they are shut down and cold names. It forces them
- 40:34Speaker 9: into the hands of people like Nick Plentis. It forces
- 40:37Speaker 9: them into the hands of genuinely bad people. If I
- 40:41Speaker 9: haven't if I have any question whatsoever, people really jump
- 40:48Speaker 9: down your throat about it. And you can see it online.
- 40:50Speaker 9: You see it in the podcast, well you see it,
- 40:53Speaker 9: you know on on on mainstream news. They really jump
- 40:57Speaker 9: down your throat about it. And that's a lot of
- 40:59Speaker 9: what the left did on many cultural issues that made
- 41:04Speaker 9: us the big tent party in the first place. There
- 41:06Speaker 9: were many people who voted for Trump because they were
- 41:09Speaker 9: cast aside, because they were like do I really have
- 41:12Speaker 9: to take this vaccine? Or ooh yeah, like you know,
- 41:16Speaker 9: should I really allow a teenage boy into my teenage
- 41:19Speaker 9: girls wogger room? And then they will go bigots and
- 41:21Speaker 9: anti Faxeris and transphoba and they went to help with
- 41:24Speaker 9: you people. So I think that when people have legitimate questions,
- 41:29Speaker 9: they should be answered, because when they aren't, they tend
- 41:33Speaker 9: to be pushed into the hands of Like I said,
- 41:34Speaker 9: people like Nick wentis.
- 41:36Speaker 4: This is a great point and one that I'll support, right,
- 41:38Speaker 4: And that's kind of how I started this saying. I
- 41:41Speaker 4: think if you tell people who you are, or at
- 41:43Speaker 4: least what your concern is or what your questions are, honestly,
- 41:47Speaker 4: I think that people respect that. I think it becomes
- 41:50Speaker 4: an issue for a lot of people when we are
- 41:52Speaker 4: in a place where, like you said, somebody may have
- 41:55Speaker 4: a question, right do they see a video and sadly
- 41:58Speaker 4: our social media And I'm gonna say, I'm gonna use
- 42:01Speaker 4: the word hijack. But it may have always been a
- 42:03Speaker 4: tool for propaganda from its inception, but I'm gonna say
- 42:07Speaker 4: has been hijacked by every competing interest that there is.
- 42:11Speaker 4: For example, the Iranians, the Russians, right if you anytime
- 42:15Speaker 4: you hear, you know a lot of rhetoric that's kind
- 42:18Speaker 4: of a anti BLM and pro white Western culture.
- 42:24Speaker 5: This is not designed to make a point.
- 42:25Speaker 4: It's designed to galvanize people who feel that way towards
- 42:29Speaker 4: the causes that Russia can try to coalesce people around.
- 42:34Speaker 5: And they've been doing this for years. This is what
- 42:36Speaker 5: Marxists do best, and they do it a lot.
- 42:39Speaker 4: So in seeing this happen, I think there is nothing
- 42:42Speaker 4: wrong on its face with saying, you know, I don't
- 42:46Speaker 4: think that's good what NETANYAHUO just did, and or I
- 42:50Speaker 4: have a question about what NETANYAHUO just did without being
- 42:54Speaker 4: labeled an anti semi. I get that, and I think
- 42:56Speaker 4: that people have always had that right. I think that
- 42:59Speaker 4: this is being kind of played up in the eyes
- 43:01Speaker 4: of the people that want to do a lot more
- 43:03Speaker 4: than just criticize the Israeli government and actually you know,
- 43:08Speaker 4: get into you know, it's.
- 43:10Speaker 5: Kind of like a foot in the door.
- 43:12Speaker 4: It's like, well, I have some critiques about the government
- 43:14Speaker 4: of Israel because and then go straight down this tirade
- 43:17Speaker 4: and to go because the Jews run the banks, the
- 43:18Speaker 4: Jews run Hollywood, the Jews run this and now it's
- 43:21Speaker 4: now it's clearly an anti Semitic.
- 43:24Speaker 5: Diatribe.
- 43:25Speaker 4: So I wonder how do we come down on this,
- 43:30Speaker 4: because I don't think I don't know of a conservative.
- 43:33Speaker 4: I've never met one that has been intolerant towards debate.
- 43:37Speaker 4: But I do meet conservatives that are intolerant towards engaging
- 43:42Speaker 4: in hating Israel, And to them, I say, I guess
- 43:46Speaker 4: you know, good for you, But at some point we
- 43:48Speaker 4: have to have some dialogue. And I don't know how
- 43:51Speaker 4: we're gonna have this dialogue if if it's prevented.
- 43:55Speaker 9: Oh no, absolutely, you're right. And I think that a
- 43:57Speaker 9: lot of people do sought out that world. Where are
- 44:02Speaker 9: the the the new quote of of the online of
- 44:07Speaker 9: online people, I'm just asking questions, and then I'm just
- 44:10Speaker 9: asking questions turns into a nefarious.
- 44:12Speaker 5: Acts because they were never asking questions to begin with.
- 44:15Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. And I think that, you know, I think
- 44:20Speaker 9: that most people who who question Israel, for example, do
- 44:26Speaker 9: not hate Jewish people. I think many of them have
- 44:28Speaker 9: concerns about the war or concerns about you know, American
- 44:32Speaker 9: role in the world. And I think that a lot
- 44:36Speaker 9: of them get co opted by the bad people because
- 44:39Speaker 9: the bad people are saying, come with me, I will
- 44:42Speaker 9: answer your questions now. Their answers are wrong, their answers
- 44:46Speaker 9: are misguided, their answers are anti Semitic. But you can't
- 44:51Speaker 9: shut down the date on any topic and expect that
- 44:56Speaker 9: people will not speak answers somewhere. So if good people
- 45:01Speaker 9: don't give them answers, if good people tell them to
- 45:05Speaker 9: stop talking, they will migrate to the nefarious actors. And
- 45:10Speaker 9: I really hope that less and less people do that.
- 45:13Speaker 5: Yeah, and I agree with what you're saying.
- 45:14Speaker 4: I think we have to be able to have these
- 45:16Speaker 4: conversations when they're legitimate, and I guess the bigger question
- 45:20Speaker 4: becomes a lot of the time they're just not legitimate, right,
- 45:24Speaker 4: It's not I don't think there's anybody out there saying
- 45:26Speaker 4: you can't critique whoever you want a critique.
- 45:29Speaker 5: People critique people all the time. That's what we do
- 45:31Speaker 5: all day long in the media.
- 45:33Speaker 4: I think it's a question of hiding behind the critique
- 45:37Speaker 4: and hiding behind saying, Look, I'm just at like you said,
- 45:39Speaker 4: I'm just here to ask questions. This doesn't seem right
- 45:42Speaker 4: to me. Go ahead, say what you got to say,
- 45:45Speaker 4: but be honest about it. And I guess I think
- 45:47Speaker 4: that's really where I'm falling in on this is saying
- 45:51Speaker 4: so much of these quote unquote questions or this critique
- 45:55Speaker 4: of the government is really I don't like the Jews,
- 45:58Speaker 4: and they're trying to bring people on board who legitimately
- 46:01Speaker 4: do have a critique of whatever's going on, especially what
- 46:04Speaker 4: you're talking about, like the anti war crowd, which Trump
- 46:08Speaker 4: himself is a big part of.
- 46:09Speaker 5: He's a big anti war guy.
- 46:11Speaker 4: And and and I think this is where things are
- 46:13Speaker 4: getting conflated. And I have to give credit to President
- 46:15Speaker 4: Trump because you know, I would say one of his
- 46:19Speaker 4: biggest supporters, in my opinion, was Tucker Carlson, and he
- 46:23Speaker 4: very publicly, you know, called Tucker out, saying, you know,
- 46:26Speaker 4: he thought he was off his rocker and whatnot. And
- 46:30Speaker 4: it took a lot of guts, I think, to do
- 46:31Speaker 4: that to somebody with such a large media platform.
- 46:35Speaker 9: Oh absolutely, you know. And they have they've had like
- 46:38Speaker 9: a they've had like a quiet tip for quite some time.
- 46:42Speaker 9: If anybody wants to go back and watch, you can
- 46:44Speaker 9: watch Bend Sunday conversation with with Tucker from about five
- 46:48Speaker 9: years ago. You could tell there was some there was
- 46:50Speaker 9: a whiff there between like the sort of old school
- 46:53Speaker 9: republicanism and the sort of new age populism that's that's
- 46:57Speaker 9: been emerging, yeah for a while now. The right, you know,
- 47:01Speaker 9: they did take a lot to go out then certainly
- 47:03Speaker 9: did not hold anything back, which you know he never does,
- 47:07Speaker 9: and Tucker didn't as well. But I think that on
- 47:12Speaker 9: a macro level, I think their goals are relatively the
- 47:15Speaker 9: same when it comes to what they want for the
- 47:18Speaker 9: at least the direction in which they want to go,
- 47:20Speaker 9: and that is not towards the left. So I hope
- 47:23Speaker 9: that they're able to either play nice in the same
- 47:27Speaker 9: box or not say anything nice at all and uh
- 47:30Speaker 9: and focus on the mission for the next whole other months. Now, well,
- 47:33Speaker 9: they better means to be seen. But I one can hope.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Well, I honestly, it's it's kind of almost a guarantee.
- 47:39Speaker 4: I'm going to say, while they're killing each other, right,
- 47:42Speaker 4: I have kids, and I have two daughters, and I
- 47:44Speaker 4: can tell you when my little girls were little, they're
- 47:47Speaker 4: four years apart, but once they got big enough to
- 47:49Speaker 4: really fight, they used to fight, and they would come
- 47:52Speaker 4: downstairs from their room to me the referee, because I'd
- 47:55Speaker 4: be like cut it out, let me see you, and
- 47:57Speaker 4: they wouldn't stop their fight. I would have one girl
- 48:01Speaker 4: holding the other girl's hair and they'd come down with
- 48:04Speaker 4: a handful of fistful of each other's hair, walking side
- 48:08Speaker 4: by side down the stairs and to tell me who
- 48:10Speaker 4: did what wrong?
- 48:12Speaker 5: And this is what we're seeing now.
- 48:14Speaker 4: So I guess my next question is they're gonna go
- 48:18Speaker 4: knock down, drag them straight to twenty twenty sixth and
- 48:23Speaker 4: then twenty twenty eight, and I guess the question becomes, now,
- 48:27Speaker 4: is that gonna cost us twenty twenty six and twenty
- 48:30Speaker 4: twenty eight. I don't think it will, but somebody's gonna
- 48:32Speaker 4: say that if we don't succeed.
- 48:35Speaker 5: That's Part A.
- 48:36Speaker 4: And then Part B is do you think that ultimately
- 48:42Speaker 4: there's a reconciliation or was the vibe in the room
- 48:47Speaker 4: kind of like what's going on here? I guess was
- 48:50Speaker 4: this viewed positively or negatively by the Amfest crowd.
- 48:54Speaker 9: Well, I'll address the second question first. I think a
- 48:58Speaker 9: lot of the reason why people were so taking off
- 49:00Speaker 9: guard is because then was the first speaker, and it
- 49:04Speaker 9: was like right out of it. Well, he was one
- 49:05Speaker 9: of I don't know if he was exactly the first,
- 49:06Speaker 9: but it was the first night. Jimmy Tucker, we were like, oh,
- 49:09Speaker 9: you know, we're all for the races here now. It
- 49:12Speaker 9: was definitely uncomfortable in the room where I was watching it.
- 49:17Speaker 9: It was definitely very odd that people were like, all right,
- 49:19Speaker 9: like what are we doing here? I hope that if
- 49:23Speaker 9: there can't be a reconciliation then at least maybe they
- 49:27Speaker 9: just leave, you know, to use your analogy, we just
- 49:29Speaker 9: put them in separate rooms for a while, a sob
- 49:31Speaker 9: they cool off. Now to address the first part, I
- 49:35Speaker 9: think the problem is is that Charlie was the referee, right.
- 49:41Speaker 9: I think that Charlie was so impactful and so powerful
- 49:47Speaker 9: in this movement that he was the glue that sort
- 49:51Speaker 9: of kept the war infections at day. And now that
- 49:56Speaker 9: there is no one, you know, Charlie was number one,
- 49:59Speaker 9: and Tucker and Ben and Meghan and insert whoever else
- 50:05Speaker 9: you want there, we're too A to B, two C
- 50:09Speaker 9: two D. Charlie is clearly the number one, and until
- 50:12Speaker 9: that number one gets filled by somebody, we're not going
- 50:18Speaker 9: to have a referee to keep the warring factions at day.
- 50:21Speaker 9: And I think that happened. But you know, look that
- 50:23Speaker 9: happened throughout history. When you saw civilization to go to
- 50:26Speaker 9: war with each other, it was usually after a king
- 50:28Speaker 9: died and they were no longer able to keep the
- 50:31Speaker 9: warring tribes, you know, at peace with each other. So
- 50:36Speaker 9: I hope somebody steps up until that void. I don't
- 50:39Speaker 9: know who can do it.
- 50:40Speaker 5: I don't know if you can do it.
- 50:42Speaker 4: If he will, right, I mean, he's president, which kind
- 50:45Speaker 4: of you know, I guess A you could say he's
- 50:47Speaker 4: the de facto leader of the party, or B he's
- 50:50Speaker 4: busy being president and doesn't have the time to do that.
- 50:52Speaker 4: But I think it's kind of going to fall on
- 50:54Speaker 4: him to say, look, guys, we're all, like you said,
- 50:57Speaker 4: we're all going in the same direction. Let's not kill
- 51:00Speaker 4: each other along the way, or it might cost us
- 51:02Speaker 4: this stuff.
- 51:03Speaker 5: And I'm hopeful that that we can get there.
- 51:05Speaker 4: And I have a feeling that, you know, Trump likely
- 51:07Speaker 4: will just because of his I guess commitment or interest
- 51:12Speaker 4: in in kind of kicking off the campaign now, right,
- 51:16Speaker 4: it seems like, yeah, he's very, very focused on on
- 51:18Speaker 4: holding onto the House and Senate, which is key for
- 51:21Speaker 4: the rest of his agenda to move forward. So but
- 51:24Speaker 4: I guess the first part of the question was was
- 51:27Speaker 4: the vibe in the room kind of like I can't
- 51:28Speaker 4: believe this is happening at Amfest, or was it like
- 51:31Speaker 4: I'm grateful that we have a place like Amfest where we.
- 51:33Speaker 5: Can do this.
- 51:36Speaker 9: It was definitely awkward, but like I said, I think
- 51:38Speaker 9: a lot of that was because it was the first night.
- 51:41Speaker 9: You know, it was kind of like right out of
- 51:43Speaker 9: the gate, everybody was kind of taking off guard by it. Nobody,
- 51:46Speaker 9: I mean, we figured that Ben would come after you know, Candae,
- 51:50Speaker 9: which I have absolutely no problem with whatsoever, because I
- 51:53Speaker 9: think she's just saying But then Ben kind of then
- 51:57Speaker 9: kind of came out swinging against everybody, and it definitely
- 52:02Speaker 9: got a little uncomfortable. But I understand why he did it.
- 52:06Speaker 9: I absolutely understand why he did And Tucker really didn't
- 52:09Speaker 9: address it so much. Obviously. You know, you've been in
- 52:13Speaker 9: this game long enough you know that Ben Shapiro and
- 52:16Speaker 9: Steve Banden have hated each other for like ten fifteen years.
- 52:19Speaker 9: That's that's real secret there. Anybody, you know, if you're
- 52:22Speaker 9: in this industry, you are fully aware of that. But
- 52:26Speaker 9: it was, it was, it was weird. It was definitely
- 52:29Speaker 9: a odd to say the least, but I think that
- 52:31Speaker 9: we I think that everybody kind of got over it
- 52:33Speaker 9: once the speeches were kind of coming underway. The second day,
- 52:37Speaker 9: Benny Johnson's speach was incredibly unifying. Jack. The cervic speech
- 52:42Speaker 9: was unifying. They brought out that uh, they brought out
- 52:45Speaker 9: that target employee that that.
- 52:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that. That was really awesome. She's my
- 52:49Speaker 5: new hero.
- 52:51Speaker 9: Oh yeah, like you know. So, I think that those
- 52:56Speaker 9: clips went really viral, but there weren't plenty of unifying moments.
- 53:00Speaker 9: It's as well that certainly didn't catch as much attention.
- 53:03Speaker 9: And I think if we stay focused on that and
- 53:07Speaker 9: we let these sort of we let these guys you know,
- 53:09Speaker 9: go go in their rooms and cool off, I think
- 53:12Speaker 9: we'll be in better shit.
- 53:13Speaker 5: Yeah, well, i'll tell you.
- 53:15Speaker 4: For me, with my kids, what I had to do
- 53:17Speaker 4: was look at them both and say, listen, I don't
- 53:19Speaker 4: know who's right, and I don't know who's wrong, but
- 53:21Speaker 4: I know who's got the belt, and it's me. And
- 53:23Speaker 4: if you want to wear it on your butt, you're
- 53:24Speaker 4: about to if you don't let go of each other's
- 53:26Speaker 4: hair and make peace.
- 53:27Speaker 5: And that always worked.
- 53:28Speaker 4: But they were little kids and I was their dad
- 53:30Speaker 4: I don't know if that's going to happen in this situation.
- 53:32Speaker 5: We'll stay tuned.
- 53:33Speaker 4: Now, let's switch gears a little bit and talk to
- 53:37Speaker 4: me about your show, your show on Rumble and everything
- 53:42Speaker 4: that you're up to. I bump into you quite often.
- 53:44Speaker 4: I know you're always out there. You're out and about
- 53:46Speaker 4: doing things with campaigns and whatnot. What's going on in
- 53:50Speaker 4: the world of Kevin Smith.
- 53:52Speaker 9: Oh list? So I hosted a show every day three
- 53:54Speaker 9: pm Eastern on Rumble. You can just type in loud
- 53:57Speaker 9: majority and I'll pop right up. You know, news politics.
- 54:01Speaker 9: My show is really about getting people active and teaching
- 54:04Speaker 9: them how to get engaged, not only in their local community,
- 54:07Speaker 9: but in campaigns as well. I try to convey to
- 54:10Speaker 9: people that politics is not a spectator sport. You know,
- 54:13Speaker 9: you have to get involved. I say to people all
- 54:16Speaker 9: the time who say they're not added to politics, I'd say,
- 54:19Speaker 9: you know, you may not be into politics, but politics
- 54:21Speaker 9: is into you. So if you don't, you don't. If
- 54:26Speaker 9: you don't pay attention, somebody else will, and decisions get
- 54:30Speaker 9: made by those who show up. The radical Left shows up.
- 54:34Speaker 9: They show up in mess every election. That's why they
- 54:37Speaker 9: were able to take over so many school boards and
- 54:39Speaker 9: really radicalize our culture. So it's time for Conservatives America first,
- 54:43Speaker 9: people MAGA the magabase, to get off the sidelines, because
- 54:49Speaker 9: it took nefarious people fifty years to destroy this country
- 54:53Speaker 9: to make it what it is now. If you think
- 54:56Speaker 9: we're going to take it back in one election, you're wrong.
- 54:59Speaker 9: And this can get be a prolonged process. And if
- 55:01Speaker 9: this not the movement is going to be a movement
- 55:04Speaker 9: and not one man, then then if you're listening to
- 55:08Speaker 9: this right now, if you want to get involved, shoot

- 57:47Speaker 4: Welcome back, Rich valdesk keeping your company this Monday night.
- 57:51Speaker 4: We're about to head into the wrap up. But I
- 57:53Speaker 4: want to start with lime disease. Now, I don't know
- 57:57Speaker 4: if you guys know lime disease has all sorts of effect.
- 58:00Speaker 4: I've never had lime disease, so I can't speak on
- 58:03Speaker 4: this authoritatively from my own first person perspective.
- 58:07Speaker 5: A lot of breakthroughs going on with lime disease.
- 58:10Speaker 4: We've got some interesting stuff that's coming out on this
- 58:13Speaker 4: Both Congress and Chris Smith from New Jersey announcing today
- 58:17Speaker 4: the twenty second of December twenty twenty five that there
- 58:22Speaker 4: might be a link between bioweapons from foreign militaries and
- 58:27Speaker 4: lime disease, and the media has been upset ever since.
- 58:30Speaker 4: Secretary Kennedy talked about this initially during his confirmation hearings.
- 58:36Speaker 4: Quick flashback to that. Listen to this part of his
- 58:39Speaker 4: confirmation hearing where Senator Michael Bennett, Democrat from Colorado was
- 58:43Speaker 4: asking him if he in fact believed this. His answer, well,
- 58:47Speaker 4: an honest one.
- 58:48Speaker 1: Did you say that lime disease is.
- 58:52Speaker 6: Highly likely a materially engineered bioweapon?
- 58:56Speaker 5: I made sure I put in the highly likely.
- 58:58Speaker 6: Did you say lime disease is a highly likely militarily
- 59:03Speaker 6: engineered bio weapon?
- 59:05Speaker 5: I probably did say that.
- 59:06Speaker 4: Did you say that.
- 59:09Speaker 7: I've won all our colleagues to hear mister Kennedy, I
- 59:13Speaker 7: want them to hear it.
- 59:14Speaker 2: You said yes.
- 59:15Speaker 4: He said yes, and he's not the only one saying it.
- 59:17Speaker 4: In fact, a lot of people have been suffering from
- 59:20Speaker 4: lime disease, including justin Timberlake. But you didn't know about that.
- 59:24Speaker 4: Saying it's very debilitating. But Congressman Chrith tick two, Chris
- 59:29Speaker 4: Smith has been saying this for almost a decade. He's
- 59:32Speaker 4: finally gotten the green light from the federal investigation into
- 59:37Speaker 4: whether the military weaponized ticks with lime disease is part
- 59:41Speaker 4: of a Cold War experiment gone wrong which actually spread
- 59:46Speaker 4: this lime disease further and intensified the illness. Now it's
- 59:51Speaker 4: hitting New Jersey and particularly hard, and that's why Congressman
- 59:55Speaker 4: Smith is all over this issue. Congressman Chris Smith has
- 59:58Speaker 4: proposed a lime disease Amendment for nine hundred billion dollars
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: in National Defense Authorization for the year twenty twenty six,
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: adding this into that bill, saying that this was signed
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: into the law by President Trump on December eighteenth. It
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: directs the nonpartisan GAO, the Government of Accountability Office, to
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: produce a report on this matter. And the amendment, for
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: the most part, flew under the radar. So kudos to
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: the Congressman for bringing this back into lied. Kudos to
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: Secretary Kennedy for being a staunch opponent to this stuff
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: and really putting the facts out there saying, hey, maybe
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: this was in fact weaponized. And of course kudos to
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: Justin Timberlake JT in the building for talking about his
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: issues with lime disease. We'll get into that a little
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: bit more another time. But this stuff is all kind
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: of chaotic to me, right. It's just like a lot
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: of crazy, a whole lot of crazy, all at the
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: same time. And I find that interesting. With all the
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: chaos and the headlines, it's got me wondering a question
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: of I'm going to call it a question of deep
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: importance tonight, America, as we sit here and look at
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: our country, do you think that we're in line with
- 1:01:11Speaker 4: the Founder's original intent for our nation? With mass migration
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: still running amok inside our borders, despite the border being secure.
- 1:01:21Speaker 4: And on the next episode you got to hear what
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Tom Holman had to say. He was in the White
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: House and he had a lot to say. That's where
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: we are. You've got all sorts of conflict all over
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: the place, right from the pro this, protesters and that,
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: this and the other thing. A lot going on. We
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: have to reclaim the sovereignty of our nation, not just
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: at the borders, but everywhere the way that the Founders
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: envisioned the Constitution without letting big government turn us into
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: a borderless blob. That's one part of it, but there's
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: many others. Protecting our dollar, strengthening our dollar, reinvesting in
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: our infrastructure. This is a big deal, right, putting a
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: full immigration moratorium every country, irrespective of anything. For a moment,
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: let's get a breather, let's catch you a beat. You
- 1:02:09Speaker 4: gotta do that stuff, otherwise you throw the baby out
- 1:02:12Speaker 4: with the bath water. So are we going to honor
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: the founders and honor our constitution, honor the oath to
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: so many people listening to the show have taken to
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: this country. I, for one, hope you don't. I hope
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: that you stick with what you believe, you stand your ground,
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: so that generations to come can appreciate the America that
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: we're leaving to them, because if we don't stand up now,
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: we may not have a chance to stand up later.
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: You know what, the saying says, you stand for nothing,
- 1:02:38Speaker 4: you'll fall for anything.
- 1:02:40Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: It's Lord Acton and a couple others that they attribute
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: that to Hamilton, And ultimately it's all about good versus evil,
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: and the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: for good people like you to sit there and do nothing.
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: So stand up. It's time to do something. I style
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: a bro.
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: See my take care, good night, and God bless you America.
- 1:03:00Speaker 4: I'm rich Valdez and this is America.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: This is America.
