- 0:59Speaker 4: seven eight twenty five thirty three seventy one. How do
- 1:01Speaker 4: you remember that?
- 1:02Speaker 7: Easy?
- 1:03Speaker 4: Eight seven seven valdess one, of course that is Valdest
- 1:06Speaker 4: with an S. And I want to start with doctor
- 1:09Speaker 4: Anthony Fauci, remember him, of course, how could you forget?
- 1:12Speaker 7: He went from.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Being I am I am the science, I am the science,
- 1:16Speaker 4: to under the Fifth Amendment, I pleaded, I don't know,
- 1:19Speaker 4: I don't know. I did very bad things. The virus
- 1:22Speaker 4: came from w Wan right, good old Anthony Fauci pleading
- 1:25Speaker 4: the Fifth over one hundred times last week like he
- 1:28Speaker 4: was dodging a bad haircut. Right, barber joke. Anyway, you know,
- 1:34Speaker 4: you guys know that I was a barber in my teenage, yeers,
- 1:38Speaker 4: and I did that for a number of years, and
- 1:40Speaker 4: it's a passion of mine. But anyway, to end that,
- 1:43Speaker 4: ADHD non Secretary, we can continue with. The Senate Homeland
- 1:49Speaker 4: Security Committee finally said enough is enough, and they voted
- 1:52Speaker 4: along party lines to hold him in contempt of Congress. Now,
- 1:56Speaker 4: regarding the vote on contempt of Congress, Senator Ram Paul
- 1:59Speaker 4: called a roll on this.
- 2:01Speaker 8: Seeing no other motions, the questions on reporting of an
- 2:04Speaker 8: original resolution regarding contempt of Congress, the clerk will call
- 2:07Speaker 8: the role.
- 2:07Speaker 9: Senator Johnson yes, Center Langford all right, Senator Scott yes.
- 2:13Speaker 9: Senor Holly Cener Marino.
- 2:15Speaker 5: I'll be half of the millions of people harmed by
- 2:17Speaker 5: Anthony Fauci.
- 2:18Speaker 7: Resoundingly Yes, center ERNs, center, Moody.
- 2:25Speaker 4: There you have it, party line vote. Fauci guilty as sin.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Of course, this isn't a criminal proceeding. This is the
- 2:34Speaker 4: committee vote to make a criminal referral for contempt of Congress.
- 2:39Speaker 4: But hey, I'll take it. You might remember this happened
- 2:42Speaker 4: to Peter Navarro. It happened to the other gentleman from
- 2:46Speaker 4: how do I forget his name anyway, the other guy
- 2:48Speaker 4: that locked up, I'm totally drawing a blank on his name.
- 2:51Speaker 4: And Bennon, Steve Bennon, and these guys were locked up,
- 2:56Speaker 4: handcuffs and everything. Well, I don't know if that's going
- 2:59Speaker 4: to happen to doctor Fauci. I would presume that it
- 3:03Speaker 4: will not, just because we tend to play fair and
- 3:06Speaker 4: they don't. But again, he went from pleading the fifth
- 3:11Speaker 4: to now trying to avoid any hint of criminality. Right,
- 3:15Speaker 4: So it's a referral that's being made for contempt of Congress.
- 3:22Speaker 4: It's going right to the Department of Justice. I've ended though,
- 3:25Speaker 4: what's going to happen here?
- 3:27Speaker 7: Right?
- 3:29Speaker 4: This man in invoking the Fifth Amendment? Obviously, as you've
- 3:32Speaker 4: heard a million times. He's admitting that he's being pardoned
- 3:37Speaker 4: for something, and he's not trying to incriminate himself in
- 3:40Speaker 4: criminal himself against what How would you incriminate yourself if
- 3:44Speaker 4: you've done nothing wrong, sir? Right, So clearly he's done
- 3:48Speaker 4: something wrong. Clearly we know he did something wrong, because
- 3:50Speaker 4: that's why he got a pardon to begin with. And
- 3:53Speaker 4: I'm really happy to see this stuff happening. I'm glad
- 3:55Speaker 4: that we're getting some form of accountability.
- 4:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Maybe it's not the military rounding people up, taking all
- 4:06Speaker 4: the leftist democrats to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, right led by
- 4:12Speaker 4: President Trump in a bomber jacket on top of them
- 4:15Speaker 4: tank right the way the QAnon people put it, But
- 4:19Speaker 4: I'll take it right. It's the system in action, and
- 4:22Speaker 4: I'm happy to see it.
- 4:24Speaker 7: This is a good thing.
- 4:25Speaker 4: We'll talk about that more in a little bit because
- 4:27Speaker 4: we've got doctor Elaine Healy joining us. You might remember
- 4:30Speaker 4: her for bravely blowing the whistle on Governor cuelmost deadly
- 4:34Speaker 4: executive order during the COVID pandemic that actually his order
- 4:39Speaker 4: actually forced COVID infected patients into nursing homes. Now she
- 4:46Speaker 4: actually knew doctor Fauci professionally early in her career, and
- 4:49Speaker 4: she's got a few choice words for him. Trust me,
- 4:52Speaker 4: you don't want to miss that. So stick around for
- 4:54Speaker 4: doctor Elaine Healey joining me in a little bit. Then
- 4:58Speaker 4: we've got the mom dyne any Marxist waves sweeping America?
- 5:02Speaker 4: Is that what's really going on here? Well over in Michigan,
- 5:05Speaker 4: Abdul Lsied just pulled off a primary win, a narrow win,
- 5:09Speaker 4: but a win. Nonetheless, next thing you know, he's going
- 5:12Speaker 4: to be out there doing his thing. In fact, he
- 5:14Speaker 4: was on Instagram tworking like it's uh like, it's like
- 5:18Speaker 4: it'sgatung night over here. So President Trump weighed in on
- 5:23Speaker 4: El Sayed, and I think we've got a clip of that,
- 5:26Speaker 4: but we'll get to that in a moment. I'll do
- 5:27Speaker 4: that in the next segment. And President Trump did say
- 5:32Speaker 4: that it was great news for the Republican Party, saying
- 5:36Speaker 4: that a communist loser like El Sayed, who hates Jews
- 5:40Speaker 4: and hates Israel, is a good thing for the Republican
- 5:42Speaker 4: Party to run against. That's my man, he Trumpito Danldis Magnus,
- 5:47Speaker 4: the forty fifth and forty seventh President of these United States.
- 5:51Speaker 8: The communists will take us one hundred percent. When I
- 5:54Speaker 8: watch Abdul, he's full of shit.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Tell us how you really feel, mister president, and mister
- 6:12Speaker 4: Al Sayed, the presumptive or the nominee, I should say,
- 6:18Speaker 4: has been paling around with Hassan Piker, an openly admitted
- 6:25Speaker 4: jew hater, big leftist podcaster, and he hasn't done anything
- 6:31Speaker 4: to renounce that relationship. Will Sayed renounce his jew hater friend,
- 6:36Speaker 4: Hassan Piker, the Saint Piker who once said America deserved
- 6:40Speaker 4: nine to eleven. We're going to dig into that a little.
- 6:43Speaker 6: Bit as well.
- 6:44Speaker 4: And speaking of socialists, well, Zoron Mamdani, the mayor of
- 6:48Speaker 4: New York City, Yes, that's Zoron. He gave a speech
- 6:51Speaker 4: in front of a bunch of people who actually like
- 6:53Speaker 4: and appreciate the cops. I wonder how that went. Meanwhile,
- 6:59Speaker 4: some leftist are out here saying that Zorn is christ
- 7:01Speaker 4: like I even neo. Unbelievable. The Democrats Socialists of America
- 7:06Speaker 4: wanted to abolish the Senate last week, and this week
- 7:09Speaker 4: they're back to abolishing the police. Daniel di Martino faced
- 7:12Speaker 4: off with one of the DSA people on Fox. I've
- 7:15Speaker 4: got the tape. It's pure gold. You're gonna love it.
- 7:17Speaker 4: We're gonna get into that in a little bit as well.
- 7:20Speaker 7: And of course.
- 7:24Speaker 4: The media is out there doing what they do, spreading
- 7:28Speaker 4: fake news about the US being out of AMMO. Don't worry.
- 7:31Speaker 4: El Trumpito addressed that one head on. We're gonna get
- 7:34Speaker 4: into all of that right after we get into this
- 7:36Speaker 4: conversation with doctor Elaine Healey. Keep it locked right here,
- 7:40Speaker 4: don't go anywhere. It's Rich Valdez coming right back with
- 7:42Speaker 4: doctor Willian Heally.
- 7:44Speaker 6: This is America. This is Ameria.
- 7:53Speaker 1: He's got the best head of hair and podcasting. This
- 7:56Speaker 1: is America with Rich Valdez.
- 8:00Speaker 7: What's up, America? Welcome back. It's Rich valdesk keeping you company.
- 8:04Speaker 4: And we saw it happen in real time unfolding doctor
- 8:08Speaker 4: Anthony Fauci, the former head of the NIH Allergy infectious
- 8:12Speaker 4: Disease whatever it was called, and the COVID mastermind himself,
- 8:17Speaker 4: who took away so many people's liberties and lied about
- 8:19Speaker 4: so many different things, including the origins of the Wuhan virus.
- 8:23Speaker 4: Guess what he pled the fifth over a hundred times. Now,
- 8:27Speaker 4: you guys have heard me share this story and I've
- 8:29Speaker 4: interviewed her on the air when COVID was happening and
- 8:32Speaker 4: Governor Cuomo was instituting this order that would lead to
- 8:35Speaker 4: the death and demise of thousands and thousands of senior
- 8:39Speaker 4: citizens in New York. One brave soul, doctor Rylane Healey,
- 8:43Speaker 4: took to the phone and called the Mark Levin Show,
- 8:46Speaker 4: where I was there as the associate producer. I took
- 8:48Speaker 4: the call and I heard this, in my opinion, this
- 8:52Speaker 4: radical statement that this is going to kill old people.
- 8:56Speaker 4: And you would think that people would have souted the
- 8:59Speaker 4: alarm like she did and taken heed to the warning,
- 9:02Speaker 4: but they didn't. Doctor Elaine Healy joins me. Now, Doc, welcome,
- 9:06Speaker 4: Hi Rich, good to see you. Likewise, Doc, Now, you
- 9:09Speaker 4: know what's interesting about this is you've been ahead of
- 9:12Speaker 4: the curve on this for quite a while, just because
- 9:14Speaker 4: you are a licensed doctor of medicine. You were running
- 9:18Speaker 4: a nursing home as an executive there, and you sounded
- 9:22Speaker 4: the alarm, you wrote the letter, You went against the
- 9:25Speaker 4: grain against many of your colleagues who were afraid to
- 9:28Speaker 4: kind of speak truth to power to the government. And
- 9:32Speaker 4: now coming full circle, seeing doctor Fauci, who was regarded
- 9:36Speaker 4: by so many as this sacrisanc physician.
- 9:40Speaker 7: How do you react to this?
- 9:42Speaker 10: Oh, I have such mixed emotions and it's very upsetting, Rich,
- 9:49Speaker 10: as you know. And I called you back in March
- 9:52Speaker 10: of twenty twenty that executive order had just been issued
- 9:55Speaker 10: that compelled nursing homes to take in COVID positive patients.
- 10:00Speaker 10: And we talked a number of times after that, And
- 10:02Speaker 10: first of all, I think people need to appreciate how
- 10:06Speaker 10: dismally our public health establishment served us during that time.
- 10:13Speaker 10: And I remember doctor Fauci from when I was in
- 10:17Speaker 10: my training and he was a co author I think
- 10:20Speaker 10: of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine or you know, the
- 10:24Speaker 10: Infectious Disease book that we all went by. So when
- 10:27Speaker 10: he spoke, he carried authority, and he really misused authority.
- 10:34Speaker 10: I mean you almost think that there's something psychologically or
- 10:38Speaker 10: there's some psychopathology. You can even consider that with this
- 10:43Speaker 10: man between what might have been happening with funding the
- 10:48Speaker 10: research and so on and so forth. But there comes
- 10:51Speaker 10: a point, Rich, and I made mistakes. I will admit
- 10:56Speaker 10: this in my approach to managing COVID. I did because
- 11:00Speaker 10: we didn't know what we were dealing with but you
- 11:03Speaker 10: have to come forward, and you have to be willing
- 11:07Speaker 10: to look at yourself and your performance and answer some questions.
- 11:12Speaker 10: And to me, he's just he's an utter coward. He's
- 11:16Speaker 10: a coward, and he's playing the victim. Can you imagine
- 11:21Speaker 10: after all this money that he made, after all the
- 11:24Speaker 10: accolades and the authority again that he was allowed to
- 11:28Speaker 10: keep for so long, now he's the victim and rich.
- 11:32Speaker 10: I think of the people that the frontline nursing home
- 11:36Speaker 10: staff and hospital staff that went in there and got
- 11:39Speaker 10: up close and personal with these patients who were having COVID,
- 11:43Speaker 10: and they did it every day, and they were so courageous.
- 11:48Speaker 10: And this man is just an utter coward. And I'm
- 11:51Speaker 10: glad that he's being held in contempt. And now I
- 11:55Speaker 10: will say, sometimes these senate hearings and so forth are
- 11:58Speaker 10: a little bit like a circus too, So I get that, not,
- 12:01Speaker 10: you know, wanting to be grilled in that way, but
- 12:05Speaker 10: he has to for the sake of all of us,
- 12:09Speaker 10: and for all of those who died, and for all
- 12:11Speaker 10: of us who trusted him, including professionally, that he has
- 12:16Speaker 10: to just come tell us what happened, tell us what happened.
- 12:21Speaker 10: I can forgive someone that made a mistake. As I said,
- 12:24Speaker 10: I've made my share. I can deal with that. I
- 12:28Speaker 10: can't deal with hiding and being an utter coward. And
- 12:32Speaker 10: it's a disgrace, utter disgrace.
- 12:35Speaker 7: You know, doctor Heally.
- 12:36Speaker 4: I appreciate your sentiment there, and I've got to say,
- 12:39Speaker 4: you know, I think I say he's a disgrace. And
- 12:42Speaker 4: people say you're a blowheart on the radio and you're
- 12:44Speaker 4: in the media, But when a professional like you that
- 12:46Speaker 4: you've made your career as a doctor, you're a physician,
- 12:50Speaker 4: you were a physician administrator, and you knew him from
- 12:53Speaker 4: your own professional track. This is something I think carries
- 12:57Speaker 4: more weight than any critique that I can give, and
- 12:59Speaker 4: I think it's really the basis for it, right, It's why, right,
- 13:03Speaker 4: I feel like this is a professional betrayal of sorts.
- 13:06Speaker 11: It is.
- 13:06Speaker 10: I mean, I'm telling you, I'm going back to my
- 13:10Speaker 10: training many decades. I won't see how many, but this
- 13:13Speaker 10: is someone that you were I don't want to say revered,
- 13:17Speaker 10: but respected, and when he stepped in front of the
- 13:19Speaker 10: cameras and took on that mantle, that's a tremendous responsibility
- 13:26Speaker 10: that goes with that. And then to learn that this
- 13:28Speaker 10: man who for all these many years I counted on,
- 13:34Speaker 10: you know, as clinically, and to realize maybe he was
- 13:38Speaker 10: a little bit off, but certainly not someone who's willing
- 13:44Speaker 10: to dialogue and to tell us as professionals, you know
- 13:48Speaker 10: what could have been done better. And the other thing
- 13:51Speaker 10: rich is, you know, the doctors that were on the
- 13:56Speaker 10: front lines. And by the way, he doesn't treat patients.
- 13:58Speaker 10: I think people have to appreciate that. He's he went
- 14:02Speaker 10: right into research, right out of history, and nothing wrong
- 14:04Speaker 10: with that, but he's not a clinician. He doesn't treat
- 14:08Speaker 10: patients and never did. And those people that did and
- 14:12Speaker 10: those of us that were on the front lines and
- 14:14Speaker 10: we were trying to improvise and use things that we
- 14:16Speaker 10: could to to lean into them and come after them professionally,
- 14:22Speaker 10: doctors that lost their licenses, that lost their board certification
- 14:27Speaker 10: in internal medicine for speaking about things like hydroxychloroquine and
- 14:32Speaker 10: that that was available to us. I mean he did
- 14:35Speaker 10: that too. So it's it's it's a very sinister and
- 14:39Speaker 10: dark time, the whole COVID experience, and and this just
- 14:44Speaker 10: brings it up to the surface again.
- 14:47Speaker 7: It's very because I could see that.
- 14:50Speaker 4: You know, obviously you're indignant about it, and as you should, right,
- 14:53Speaker 4: I mean, your your oath is to do no harm, right,
- 14:56Speaker 4: it's to help people to be a paraclet. And when
- 14:59Speaker 4: when you see doctor Fauci, maybe not even just him,
- 15:03Speaker 4: but the idea of someone that was so revered in
- 15:06Speaker 4: your profession really doing about face and handle it this way.
- 15:10Speaker 4: This man was given a pardon, right, so he could
- 15:12Speaker 4: have said, hey, look, I made all the mistakes. We
- 15:15Speaker 4: accidentally did this. We erred on the side of politics
- 15:18Speaker 4: instead of caution. But instead of saying any of that,
- 15:20Speaker 4: he just said, I plead the fifth. I plead the fifth,
- 15:22Speaker 4: I plead the fifth. I thought, personally, I thought that
- 15:24Speaker 4: was disgusting. And I'm not a doctor.
- 15:26Speaker 10: I did too, And I'll give you an example.
- 15:28Speaker 5: Rich.
- 15:29Speaker 10: As you may remember, I was my nursing home was
- 15:31Speaker 10: a Newershelle We had the first COVID positive case in
- 15:35Speaker 10: New York and then it just spread and spread and spread.
- 15:38Speaker 10: And when I called into Mark's show, I was saying,
- 15:42Speaker 10: I can't reach anybody. I can't reach, and I couldn't.
- 15:45Speaker 10: So I had a nursing home in Newershell, and I
- 15:48Speaker 10: knew that it was big trouble if COVID got in, right,
- 15:51Speaker 10: I knew because of the Seattle Washington they had already
- 15:54Speaker 10: had a bad experience.
- 15:56Speaker 9: So I was like, what should I do?
- 15:57Speaker 10: What should I do? Should I close for admission? Should
- 15:59Speaker 10: I close for visitation? And I couldn't reach anybody, and
- 16:03Speaker 10: I decided on my own to close my nursing home
- 16:07Speaker 10: for visitation, thinking that this would pass, and I wanted
- 16:12Speaker 10: literally to slow the spread. That's what I came up with. Now,
- 16:16Speaker 10: in retrospect, it was wrong. It wasn't the right move,
- 16:20Speaker 10: but I had to do something. And so my point
- 16:25Speaker 10: is I can relate to doing things well by the
- 16:30Speaker 10: way he should have prepared. I mean, that was his
- 16:32Speaker 10: job also to prepare for this, and so we would
- 16:36Speaker 10: have had, you know, quick responses. But anyway, we were
- 16:39Speaker 10: all improvising, and so sometimes you do things that turn
- 16:44Speaker 10: out not to be right. Okay, so fine say it.
- 16:50Speaker 10: You know, we thought that we thought that closing down
- 16:52Speaker 10: the schools was the right thing to do, but it wasn't.
- 16:54Speaker 10: Whatever it is, but to just be such a coward
- 16:57Speaker 10: that you don't even come out there, and after all
- 17:01Speaker 10: you've benefited all these decades and continue to me, it's contemptible.
- 17:07Speaker 10: It's contemptible, I guess in health in contempt.
- 17:11Speaker 7: It's so apropos.
- 17:13Speaker 4: We're on with doctor Elaine Healy, who was again, as
- 17:17Speaker 4: she just eloquently pointed out, was overseeing the nursing home
- 17:20Speaker 4: where the first New York COVID case was when this
- 17:23Speaker 4: was becoming a huge firestorm across America back in twenty twenty.
- 17:27Speaker 4: And we're going to continue straight ahead, getting her reaction
- 17:30Speaker 4: to doctor Fauci being held in contempt of Congress just
- 17:34Speaker 4: this morning.
- 17:35Speaker 7: Don't go anywhere.
- 17:36Speaker 6: This is a Maria. This is a Maria.
- 17:53Speaker 7: President Donald take Trump, mister President, welcome to the program.
- 17:55Speaker 8: Service. Well, thank you, rich and thank you for everything.
- 17:59Speaker 8: I know you very well well and have I listened,
- 18:01Speaker 8: But I have a lot of people that listen and
- 18:03Speaker 8: they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.
- 18:06Speaker 4: All right, Femi, Yeah, welcome back. We continue our conversation
- 18:09Speaker 4: with doctor Elaine Healey. Doctor Elaine Heally and I have
- 18:12Speaker 4: known each other for the last six years. When she
- 18:14Speaker 4: blew the whistle on this COVID mandate coming from Governor
- 18:19Speaker 4: Cuomo that cost the lives more than ten thousand I
- 18:22Speaker 4: think it was fifteen thousand elderly people in New York
- 18:26Speaker 4: and doctor Healely. We're continuing our discussion on doctor Fauci
- 18:29Speaker 4: and what I'm going to call his his pardoned criminality
- 18:33Speaker 4: and today because of his obfuscation before Congress doing their
- 18:37Speaker 4: constitutional duty to have oversight over the government and him
- 18:42Speaker 4: having a presidential pardon for crimes from when he was
- 18:45Speaker 4: born till the day he left office, he was pretty
- 18:49Speaker 4: much not liable for anything. Yet he still wouldn't talk
- 18:51Speaker 4: about anything, and I think that speaks volumes about not
- 18:54Speaker 4: only the professional betrayal we talked about, but more so
- 18:57Speaker 4: it really it reeks of criminal your thoughts.
- 19:01Speaker 10: Well, again, as you say, he has been pardoned, so
- 19:06Speaker 10: all the more reason to be forthcoming with the information
- 19:11Speaker 10: that will, you know, not only potentially benefit all of
- 19:17Speaker 10: us going into the future with God forbid or next
- 19:20Speaker 10: time there's something of this nature to face, but to
- 19:24Speaker 10: you know, even to give some consolation to people who
- 19:29Speaker 10: did suffer and who have lost loved ones and so forth.
- 19:32Speaker 10: So all the more reason. I mean, it's quite bizarre,
- 19:36Speaker 10: which again I can't help but question about whether there's
- 19:41Speaker 10: some real psychopathology at work here, because here is the
- 19:45Speaker 10: time you have been pardoned. You can speak up and
- 19:49Speaker 10: you can say I thought it was a good idea
- 19:52Speaker 10: to do this, but in retrospect it wasn't. And this
- 19:55Speaker 10: was my thinking at the time. But going forward, we
- 19:59Speaker 10: have to make sure that we do X, Y and
- 20:01Speaker 10: Z so that we're we're avoiding this. But but no,
- 20:05Speaker 10: I mean, it's it's it's it's utterly cowardly, and we
- 20:08Speaker 10: are we are we continue to suffer from his malfians
- 20:13Speaker 10: and that that, uh, he just didn't. You gotta wonder
- 20:19Speaker 10: all these years, what how was he performing? And that
- 20:22Speaker 10: makes me wonder about these career bureaucrats.
- 20:25Speaker 4: That's where I'm at right, So I'm thinking, you know,
- 20:27Speaker 4: if I've got a flabbergasted doctor, and you've been a
- 20:30Speaker 4: doctor probably uh as long as I've been around, right,
- 20:34Speaker 4: and you you are a professional through and through, and
- 20:37Speaker 4: your your level of shock at your profession and and
- 20:40Speaker 4: again I want to isolate it to doctor Fauci, but
- 20:43Speaker 4: he's not alone. There were other bureaucrats like you mentioned
- 20:46Speaker 4: that work in all these government agencies, creating the policy,
- 20:50Speaker 4: kind of starting the path to tell you what to
- 20:52Speaker 4: do when you're on the front lines, which is why
- 20:54Speaker 4: I've always been in a small government conservative.
- 20:56Speaker 7: Yes, I believe I know what's best for me, not
- 20:58Speaker 7: you me. Yes, and your case.
- 21:01Speaker 4: You're a studied, learned doctor who's seen patient after patient,
- 21:05Speaker 4: that has that experience that I think we should rely
- 21:09Speaker 4: on that. I remember, just you know, to go back
- 21:11Speaker 4: to this COVID thing, just for a moment, there were
- 21:12Speaker 4: doctors that were saying, yeah, we're using ivermectin, or we're
- 21:16Speaker 4: using hyproxychloroquine and we're seeing results. I saw a study
- 21:20Speaker 4: not recently, pretty recently, maybe about two months ago, that
- 21:24Speaker 4: said that ivermectin has these anti parasitic properties that can
- 21:29Speaker 4: slow certain cancers down. And I thought we didn't know that.
- 21:33Speaker 4: We were saying don't take it, don't take it. They
- 21:35Speaker 4: weren't letting doctors prescribe it like that. That to me
- 21:38Speaker 4: should be criminal, and I think Fauci should be at
- 21:41Speaker 4: the top of that criminal list.
- 21:43Speaker 10: Yes, that's another point. I mean, the whole shutting down
- 21:48Speaker 10: of the spirit of professionalism and the sharing of professional experience,
- 21:55Speaker 10: which is how we grew in medicine, in our medical practice.
- 21:59Speaker 10: We didn't just wait for you know, these edicts to
- 22:02Speaker 10: come down from on high.
- 22:03Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's good to have research.
- 22:05Speaker 10: It's good to uh, you know, to understand it and
- 22:09Speaker 10: to have guidelines, but to be forced, you know, to
- 22:13Speaker 10: to to march to that drum and these terribly draconian
- 22:19Speaker 10: you know, uh consequences for people that there just said,
- 22:22Speaker 10: well wait a minute, you know I tried vermectim and
- 22:24Speaker 10: and it worked or hydroxychlorocry you know whatever, or or
- 22:28Speaker 10: maybe there is some you know, concern about pro andflma
- 22:31Speaker 10: inflammatory effects of the vaccine as Oh no, And I
- 22:35Speaker 10: think this is what you know, America needs to understand
- 22:40Speaker 10: how this, I mean, this is fascist. This that's what
- 22:46Speaker 10: fascism is. I mean, when you can't you can't step
- 22:50Speaker 10: outside of the of the box or or that that
- 22:53Speaker 10: they're telling you to march in. Uh, that's a big
- 22:58Speaker 10: problem regardless of whether you you think he was right
- 23:01Speaker 10: on this or that. But you know, we have to
- 23:04Speaker 10: be able to collaborate and to have freedom of thought
- 23:08Speaker 10: and speech, and to see people in my profession lose
- 23:11Speaker 10: their board certification from the American Board of Internal Message.
- 23:15Speaker 10: I mean, so many institutions that I you know.
- 23:19Speaker 7: As mafia expected just like mafia.
- 23:22Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, And it's it's a shocking thing. It's a
- 23:26Speaker 10: wake up call. And I'm afraid we're no better today.
- 23:30Speaker 10: But people got to understand you can't count on the government.
- 23:34Speaker 10: You can't.
- 23:34Speaker 7: Yeah, I agree with that statement one hundred percent.
- 23:36Speaker 4: The only place I guess I would I would draw
- 23:40Speaker 4: a little bit of a contrast is I think that
- 23:43Speaker 4: the current administration has done their best to turn back
- 23:47Speaker 4: the hands of time.
- 23:48Speaker 5: You know, this is true.
- 23:49Speaker 4: Doctor j Botacharia, somebody I've interviewed many times.
- 23:52Speaker 7: He was the Stanford doc that was out there saying
- 23:55Speaker 7: why would you close the schools? That makes no sense?
- 23:58Speaker 4: And they marginalized him, they shut him up, they took
- 24:01Speaker 4: him off of Twitter, they made him a pariah. And
- 24:03Speaker 4: today he has doctor Fauci's old job. And I think
- 24:06Speaker 4: that's a great step in the right direction.
- 24:09Speaker 10: Yes, I admit that, Yes, that's quite true. And there
- 24:13Speaker 10: are I mean, I'm all in favor of what's what's
- 24:16Speaker 10: been happening and everything at HHS, and and you know,
- 24:20Speaker 10: we are really trying to break down those those established paradigms,
- 24:26Speaker 10: and thank goodness for that, but we're always at risk
- 24:29Speaker 10: to you know, thinking and looking to authority for our behavior,
- 24:36Speaker 10: and sometimes the authorities are wrong, and you have to
- 24:40Speaker 10: do what you what you think is best, and then
- 24:43Speaker 10: you have to be able to touch base with someone
- 24:45Speaker 10: and say, look, that's what we were doing as medical
- 24:47Speaker 10: directors in these nursing homes. We were calling each other,
- 24:50Speaker 10: what are you doing? Have you tried to drive some chloroquin?
- 24:52Speaker 8: No?
- 24:52Speaker 5: Did you do?
- 24:53Speaker 10: Okay, let's try, you know, And that's how medicine progresses,
- 24:57Speaker 10: not top down.
- 24:59Speaker 4: Let me ask you this little off topic, but in
- 25:00Speaker 4: the same Vein a couple of years ago, I remember
- 25:03Speaker 4: doing some research for a show and found out that
- 25:07Speaker 4: it wasn't just sheer academic rigor that prevented people from
- 25:12Speaker 4: getting into medical school, but medical schools keeping their classes
- 25:16Speaker 4: intentionally small so that there's, in my opinions, there's always
- 25:22Speaker 4: going to be a need for foreign expertise because we're
- 25:25Speaker 4: not cultivating the expertise here in the United States. Maybe
- 25:28Speaker 4: I'm wrong in that, but that was the angle I
- 25:30Speaker 4: was taking in the research I was doing, And I
- 25:33Speaker 4: found that there were schools that had the capacity, just
- 25:35Speaker 4: they didn't want to add. Like there's Harvard Medical School,
- 25:38Speaker 4: for example, they have all the money in the world.
- 25:40Speaker 4: I mean, they're not even close to running out of money.
- 25:43Speaker 4: Columbia their endowments are huge, so why wouldn't they double
- 25:47Speaker 4: a triple class size. If we have ailments in different
- 25:50Speaker 4: areas and they attract the best of the best globally,
- 25:54Speaker 4: why wouldn't we accept more doctors And yet they don't
- 25:57Speaker 4: accept more students to create more doctors. And there's like
- 26:00Speaker 4: legislation and AMA standards that go around this to intentionally,
- 26:05Speaker 4: you know, preserve quality. And I'm thinking, we're just bringing
- 26:08Speaker 4: in doctors from other countries that were trained abroad that
- 26:10Speaker 4: aren't always on par with the doctors trained here. Sometimes
- 26:14Speaker 4: they're beyond the part. Yes, but I'm not trying to
- 26:18Speaker 4: discourage them. But I'm just saying, it's America, right. We
- 26:22Speaker 4: should be producing the brightest and the best, at least
- 26:24Speaker 4: in my view right.
- 26:26Speaker 10: And I'm afraid I don't know much about what you
- 26:29Speaker 10: were just talking about, but I will say also that
- 26:33Speaker 10: in my career the doctors have really been demoralized and
- 26:40Speaker 10: the incursion again of government through Medicare and all of
- 26:46Speaker 10: the government now frequently government controlled insurance which is Medicare, yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 10: and the other third parties, and that the best and
- 26:57Speaker 10: the brightest don't want to go into medicine anymore. And
- 27:00Speaker 10: we are really watering things down. And it's a shame
- 27:03Speaker 10: because you want people like doctor j you know who's brilliant.
- 27:08Speaker 10: You want them out there in the front lines treating
- 27:11Speaker 10: people and coming up with ideas and stimulating others to
- 27:16Speaker 10: collaborate through collaboration to new areas of treatment and so forth. Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 10: there's definitely and there was a lot of DEI going on,
- 27:25Speaker 10: and I'm sorry to say in medical admissions as well, exactly.
- 27:30Speaker 10: And I'll never forget when I understood this one medical
- 27:33Speaker 10: school where I was on faculty, when they instituted the
- 27:37Speaker 10: you know, preferred pronouns, and I was like, oh, no,
- 27:41Speaker 10: not in medical school. Are we really going? Oh yes, yes,
- 27:45Speaker 10: you know preferred pro Okay, thanks.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Have changedcy Well, I'll tell you I prefer a doctor
- 27:51Speaker 4: like Elaine Healy, right, who's willing to fight for what's right,
- 27:54Speaker 4: to have the courage to stand up to the establishment
- 27:56Speaker 4: to protect the people in your care.
- 27:58Speaker 7: So kudos to you, doc.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Everybody know how they can find you if you want
- 28:02Speaker 4: to be found, and what you're working on these days.
- 28:05Speaker 10: Yes, Rich I'll follow up with that. I have. I've
- 28:08Speaker 10: gotten myself onto social media, but I forgot my handle,
- 28:11Speaker 10: so I.
- 28:14Speaker 7: Can put it out for you. Thanks a lot, appreciate it.
- 28:17Speaker 4: Outstanding, Doc. I want to thank you for being here.
- 28:20Speaker 4: You are a gentlewoman, a scholar and a patriot.
- 28:23Speaker 7: God bless you.
- 28:24Speaker 10: Nice to see you, Rich, Thank you, thank you.
- 28:27Speaker 6: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
- 28:50Speaker 6: and he's breaking it down.
- 28:52Speaker 7: Oh he's so handsome.
- 28:53Speaker 10: What's his name?
- 28:54Speaker 6: Rich Ladas?
- 29:04Speaker 4: All right, Fomanah, welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your company
- 29:07Speaker 4: tonight Thursday night and the AOC all out crazy Marxist
- 29:13Speaker 4: mom Donnie wannabes are spreading like wildfire across this country.
- 29:17Speaker 4: That's not a good thing. And I know some people
- 29:18Speaker 4: are gonna say, come on, Rich, you're giving them too
- 29:20Speaker 4: much credit. These guys aren't spreading like wildfire. You got
- 29:24Speaker 4: a couple of wins in a few places, and people
- 29:26Speaker 4: think they're taking over. Well, I'm a little bit closer
- 29:29Speaker 4: to NYC than you guys are, so maybe that's why
- 29:32Speaker 4: I'm having a little PTSD here. But my guyed Trumpito
- 29:36Speaker 4: don all this. Magnus, the forty fifth and forty seventh
- 29:38Speaker 4: president of these United States. He weighed in on this
- 29:41Speaker 4: and his initial reaction to mister l saied and his
- 29:47Speaker 4: primary victory was priceless. Check this out.
- 29:50Speaker 8: But in Congress, we're working every day to defend the
- 29:53Speaker 8: American dream for you and your children. The radical left,
- 29:56Speaker 8: the maniacs are trying to destroy it with disaster known
- 30:01Speaker 8: as not socialism, communism.
- 30:04Speaker 7: It's communism.
- 30:06Speaker 5: He's a communist.
- 30:09Speaker 8: And the polls were wrong again last night when they
- 30:11Speaker 8: thought it would be a landslide victory for a hater
- 30:14Speaker 8: of Jews and a hater of Israel. This guy hates Jews.
- 30:19Speaker 8: Somebody said, oh, that's a little strong.
- 30:21Speaker 5: No, he hates Jews and he hates Israel.
- 30:23Speaker 8: Abdul el Sayad, can you believe this?
- 30:31Speaker 12: This could only happen to me.
- 30:34Speaker 8: Abdul al Sayad, lovely gentleman.
- 30:37Speaker 10: He's a man of hate.
- 30:38Speaker 8: And now he's going around saying, no, I love everybody,
- 30:40Speaker 8: I love. He doesn't love everybody. Put him in office.
- 30:43Speaker 8: You're gonna find out what he loves. He doesn't love Israel.
- 30:48Speaker 8: He doesn't love Jewish people. He hates them. He hates
- 30:51Speaker 8: them with a passion that burns in his heart. And
- 30:54Speaker 8: there's not a frickin thing he can do about it.
- 30:57Speaker 8: There's not a thing he can do about it because
- 30:59Speaker 8: he hates him. And in Michigan, it was really very
- 31:04Speaker 8: close to the press this. You know, the the polls
- 31:07Speaker 8: and the polls by the press. Oftentimes the press hires
- 31:10Speaker 8: the polls. They want to they want to have it
- 31:12Speaker 8: a certain way. But the polls got it really wrong
- 31:14Speaker 8: because there was supposed to be a blowaway and he
- 31:17Speaker 8: almost lost. But he's going to lose to our great candidate.
- 31:20Speaker 8: We have a great candidate in Michigan, great candidate.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Well, I certainly hope so, because man, we can't afford
- 31:30Speaker 4: to have any more of these crazies winning, these all
- 31:33Speaker 4: out crazy Mamdanie Marxists, right, mister Elsi ed was the
- 31:39Speaker 4: topic of discussion on television. I got a clip on that.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Check this out.
- 31:46Speaker 5: I think that you want to use my whole name
- 31:48Speaker 5: against me.
- 31:49Speaker 13: Mike listen, man, if you can't say the name is Abdrohman,
- 31:52Speaker 13: keep the name out your damn mouth.
- 31:54Speaker 12: I'll be happy to give you lessons.
- 31:56Speaker 5: You know, they think that you want to use my
- 31:58Speaker 5: whole name against me.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Mike listen, man, Okay, abduur Rahman, did I get it right?
- 32:04Speaker 4: Play it again.
- 32:05Speaker 12: You can't say the name is abd Rahman.
- 32:07Speaker 5: Keep the name out your damn.
- 32:08Speaker 4: Mouth, abd Okay, I will say it just like that
- 32:12Speaker 4: every time. And why am I saying it like that?
- 32:14Speaker 4: Because he's asked me to. I would have said abdul Rahman, right, Rahman,
- 32:21Speaker 4: how did he say it? Do it one more time?
- 32:22Speaker 12: Let me hear it again. I'll be happy to give
- 32:25Speaker 12: you lessons.
- 32:26Speaker 13: You know, they think that you want to use my
- 32:27Speaker 13: whole name against me. Mike, listen, man, if you can't say,
- 32:30Speaker 13: the name is abd Rahman.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Abdu Rahman, there we go, abdu Rahman El Sayid, abdu
- 32:37Speaker 4: Rahman El Sayad.
- 32:39Speaker 5: Got it.
- 32:40Speaker 4: He asked for this, not me anyway, Mister abdu Rahman
- 32:44Speaker 4: El Sayed is causing quite a stir. Now he got
- 32:49Speaker 4: the rest of that clip, and I want you to
- 32:51Speaker 4: hear it because you know, to get the full context.
- 32:55Speaker 4: And then we're going to talk about why people are
- 32:57Speaker 4: so concerned. It's not because the guy has a very
- 33:00Speaker 4: least your sounding name. It's because of certain associations they
- 33:03Speaker 4: believe he has. But let's continue the tape of abdur Rahman.
- 33:08Speaker 4: Let's say it.
- 33:11Speaker 5: The Allies are launching is already more bitter.
- 33:15Speaker 11: All you gotta do is look at the odds you're
- 33:16Speaker 11: already watching on TV started today.
- 33:19Speaker 5: You know they think that you want to use my
- 33:21Speaker 5: whole name against me. Mike.
- 33:23Speaker 13: Listen, man, if you can't say the name is abd Rahman,
- 33:25Speaker 13: keep the name out your damn mouth.
- 33:29Speaker 12: I'll be happy to give you lessons.
- 33:35Speaker 11: But they understand that the only way that they think
- 33:38Speaker 11: they can win is to drag us into the mud,
- 33:41Speaker 11: to believe the worst about each other. The Allies are
- 33:44Speaker 11: launching is already more bitter.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Now why would he say that this is getting bitter
- 33:52Speaker 4: and they want you to believe the worst? All right,
- 33:55Speaker 4: Well he didn't say it wasn't true. He just said
- 33:59Speaker 4: they want you to believe it. Right, Because what I'm
- 34:02Speaker 4: hearing Ted Cruz had a what's the word a witness
- 34:07Speaker 4: giving testimony in the Senate today, and let me tell
- 34:11Speaker 4: you this was some pretty eye opening conversation.
- 34:17Speaker 3: Abdul l Sayed's candidacy for senator and Michigan concern.
- 34:22Speaker 4: Yes, sir, it does.
- 34:23Speaker 2: Why is that will?
- 34:24Speaker 7: To begin with?
- 34:26Speaker 2: I look at the connections that his father in law,
- 34:28Speaker 2: Chaikaku Taib has the two Brotherhood linked groups. This includes
- 34:32Speaker 2: being the president at one time of Caer Michigan. Also
- 34:36Speaker 2: his presence on the Islamic Society of North America founders.
- 34:40Speaker 4: Just to let you know, this is Kyle Scheidler who
- 34:43Speaker 4: is giving testimony, and he's when he says the Brotherhood,
- 34:46Speaker 4: he's talking about the terrorist group known as the Muslim
- 34:49Speaker 4: Brotherhood Committee, which is only for those most exclusively devoted
- 34:55Speaker 4: to ISNA and provide significant amounts of funding. There are
- 34:58Speaker 4: other known Brotherhood members on committee. I would also look
- 35:02Speaker 4: at Elsieed's ties to a group called m GAGE, which
- 35:06Speaker 4: purports to be a Muslim sort of get out the
- 35:09Speaker 4: vote or candidate recruitment organization, but it has close ties
- 35:14Speaker 4: to CARE. It was created by a former CARE member
- 35:17Speaker 4: who at one time was on a terror watch list
- 35:19Speaker 4: and was also a consultant to convicted terrorist Samuel Arian.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Do you believe the Islamic Society of North America or
- 35:30Speaker 3: ISNA is an ongoing part of the Muslim Brotherhood network
- 35:34Speaker 3: in the United States.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Yes, Sir, I do. There were some HLF documents that
- 35:39Speaker 2: reflected hesitation by the Brotherhood that they thought perhaps they
- 35:42Speaker 2: were losing control.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Abdul, So there we go, Abdul Abdul Rahman, say it right, Senator,
- 35:48Speaker 4: don't say at all, take his name out, chow him out. Now,
- 35:51Speaker 4: I'll call him up and give you a lesson. But
- 35:54Speaker 4: this doesn't end there. This is a candidate who stands
- 35:57Speaker 4: by Hassan Piker. This is a candidate who says Israel
- 36:01Speaker 4: should not exist, and even as colleagues acknowledge it, but say, look,
- 36:06Speaker 4: he hates Israel. I don't.
- 36:09Speaker 7: All right, what are you going to do?
- 36:10Speaker 4: Listen to Congresswoman Debbie Dingle from Michigan about her endorsement
- 36:16Speaker 4: of l said.
- 36:18Speaker 6: Okay, you say you got you unite.
- 36:20Speaker 10: Just in the last month, Sayed has said Israel should
- 36:24Speaker 10: not exist as a Jewish state.
- 36:28Speaker 7: I've known you, I've known you a long time.
- 36:31Speaker 12: Can you support that?
- 36:32Speaker 9: And if so, how No, I categorically won't support that
- 36:36Speaker 9: Israel has a right to exist.
- 36:38Speaker 7: Then how.
- 36:40Speaker 5: Him?
- 36:41Speaker 10: If he is the candidate in November.
- 36:45Speaker 9: Bill, I'm going to be very blunt. There's going to
- 36:47Speaker 9: be a lot of things that I don't agree with
- 36:49Speaker 9: Mike Rogers on either. And I have told I have
- 36:53Speaker 9: told him Bill exactly what I think. He then you know,
- 36:56Speaker 9: says well this this or this, I'm going to get
- 36:58Speaker 9: him on record. I'm doing it. I know how I'm
- 37:01Speaker 9: going to vote on these issues. But I'm also going
- 37:04Speaker 9: to tell you that if you live in Michigan, you
- 37:07Speaker 9: see the sides when you see what's happening in South
- 37:10Speaker 9: Lebanon right now, and families are dying. I think I,
- 37:13Speaker 9: more than almost most Americans have lived in between these
- 37:18Speaker 9: two communities for decades, and both sides are hurting. I'm
- 37:22Speaker 9: against anti Semitism. I am against those that are attacking
- 37:27Speaker 9: the Muslim faith. We live in a country where we
- 37:29Speaker 9: have freedom of religion. And you know, I'm sure that
- 37:33Speaker 9: Mike Rogers has some very anti feelings too. Want issues
- 37:37Speaker 9: I disagree with them about. I know what's at stake,
- 37:40Speaker 9: and I will publicly disagree with them.
- 37:42Speaker 4: All right, all right, it's enough. I want to get
- 37:45Speaker 4: to Mike Rodgers because they talk about Mike Rogers here,
- 37:48Speaker 4: and I want to hear what he has to say
- 37:51Speaker 4: because he's going to be running against ELSI ed, Mike
- 37:54Speaker 4: Rodgers is a congressman. I believe it's Congressman Mike Rogers, right,
- 37:58Speaker 4: Is that the same congressman? I don't know anyway, play
- 38:01Speaker 4: a tape.
- 38:02Speaker 7: Let's go.
- 38:03Speaker 14: If you woke up this morning thinking we're still California
- 38:05Speaker 14: because Wayne County still doesn't have their vote count in.
- 38:09Speaker 6: You may be right.
- 38:09Speaker 14: Our election system here in Michigan is broken. We're going
- 38:12Speaker 14: to do a lot of work between now and November
- 38:14Speaker 14: to help get that thing at least back in some
- 38:17Speaker 14: semblance of order. First of all, think about it. He
- 38:21Speaker 14: just came out a few minutes ago and said that
- 38:23Speaker 14: he won the race. So he's declaring victory. This is
- 38:26Speaker 14: really about the heart and soul of our country. I
- 38:29Speaker 14: have never seen someone so radical, so extreme get nominated
- 38:34Speaker 14: by a political party. And the DSA candidates in the
- 38:37Speaker 14: state in two different congressional races look like they're pulling
- 38:41Speaker 14: it off as well. The Democrat Party is lost to
- 38:44Speaker 14: this hardcore socialist attitude. And I listen, I thought terrorism
- 38:49Speaker 14: my whole life. I was an FBI special agent, US
- 38:51Speaker 14: Army officer, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. I find
- 38:55Speaker 14: it shocking that I'm going to go up against a
- 38:57Speaker 14: guy who believes America deserved nine eleven. That's why this
- 39:01Speaker 14: race is so important.
- 39:02Speaker 6: Lawrence.
- 39:03Speaker 15: Yeah, he was with Hassan Piker, who had that viewpoint.
- 39:08Speaker 15: You know, he may have that viewpoint, but he's very
- 39:12Speaker 15: slick and there's a lot of people that find his
- 39:17Speaker 15: messes inspirational, even though it's anti mayor.
- 39:21Speaker 4: If you yeah, you know, let's I'm gonna jump in here.
- 39:25Speaker 4: A lot of people do find these socialist candidates inspiring
- 39:30Speaker 4: because they've been practicing their message for a long time
- 39:34Speaker 4: and they're hitting the right pain buttons on Americans, and
- 39:38Speaker 4: for too long, we've had a very very simple, very
- 39:43Speaker 4: very simple, anger based, anger based approach. Their approach is
- 39:53Speaker 4: grievance based, not so much anger. Right, So you know,
- 39:58Speaker 4: our approach is, you know, do you want your son
- 40:00Speaker 4: to be your daughter? Do you want your daughter to
- 40:02Speaker 4: be your son? Do you want to see America change
- 40:04Speaker 4: like you've never seen it before? Then don't vote for
- 40:07Speaker 4: those guys. Right, But their approach is couched and optimism.
- 40:13Speaker 4: If you want to stop seeing the greedy corporate people
- 40:16Speaker 4: succeed while you're struggling paycheck to paycheck and can't afford childcare,
- 40:20Speaker 4: now's the time to talk.
- 40:22Speaker 10: Right.
- 40:23Speaker 4: They're always painting a picture of positivity while they're listing
- 40:28Speaker 4: their grievance. This utopian fantasy is what sells, and for many,
- 40:35Speaker 4: it's selling more than an anger is selling. For us, right,
- 40:39Speaker 4: outrage Ink isn't doing it anymore. That's a good book,
- 40:43Speaker 4: by the way. So I think we've got to shore
- 40:47Speaker 4: up the messaging now. Every now and again, it works,
- 40:51Speaker 4: this this nativist idea of you know, they're coming there,
- 40:57Speaker 4: they're incompatible with the West, they don't love Jesus. I
- 41:02Speaker 4: get it. It is an alarming thing. But is it
- 41:06Speaker 4: enough alarm to cause people to vote right? Because that's
- 41:10Speaker 4: ultimately the goal. They play a different game. They try
- 41:15Speaker 4: to move you beyond voting. They want to know, will
- 41:17Speaker 4: you put on a mask and push police officers out
- 41:21Speaker 4: of the way in a quote unquote peaceful protest? Will
- 41:26Speaker 4: you quit your job? Will you reject having children so
- 41:30Speaker 4: that you can move around the country and be an activist,
- 41:33Speaker 4: be an organizer, what we call a paid protester. I've
- 41:38Speaker 4: got to be frank with you and say, we're dealing
- 41:41Speaker 4: with people that are way more committed than we are.
- 41:44Speaker 4: Right on the extreme end of this, the radicals, like
- 41:49Speaker 4: the ones the jihadis in Iran. They're willing to strap
- 41:53Speaker 4: bombs to themselves. They're willing to kill women and children.
- 41:57Speaker 4: I've seen women in interviews say, look, my purpose in
- 42:01Speaker 4: this is to birth children that can go to war.
- 42:05Speaker 4: I have as many as I can because I know
- 42:07Speaker 4: we're gonna lose some along the way.
- 42:08Speaker 7: I've heard that.
- 42:10Speaker 4: Now I don't speak Arabic, but that's how it was translated,
- 42:13Speaker 4: and it seemed like that's what they were saying, and
- 42:15Speaker 4: the translation wasn't. In dispute. You find me somebody who's
- 42:20Speaker 4: a conservative Christian America first person that's like, yeah, I'm
- 42:24Speaker 4: not gonna have kids. Yeah I'm gonna strap a bomb
- 42:27Speaker 4: to me. We're not those people. So don't for a
- 42:32Speaker 4: second think that we should take anybody on the extreme
- 42:38Speaker 4: left as a joke. I think we should take them
- 42:41Speaker 4: extraordinarily seriously. Now, I'm not saying that mister abdu Rahman
- 42:48Speaker 4: El sayed. I'm not saying that he is all the way,
- 42:56Speaker 4: you know, ready to strap a bomb on Definitely not
- 42:58Speaker 4: saying that, But I am saying he agrees with the notion,
- 43:03Speaker 4: or at least with a piker who says nine to
- 43:05Speaker 4: eleven was something that we earned for ourselves.
- 43:08Speaker 5: Right.
- 43:11Speaker 4: He is of the opinion that Israel should not exist
- 43:14Speaker 4: as a religious state, as a Jewish state. He's allowed
- 43:21Speaker 4: to have an opinion. But shoot, how an American is that?
- 43:25Speaker 5: Right?
- 43:26Speaker 4: We let everybody exist in America, including the people that
- 43:29Speaker 4: hate America. We used to have the Communist Control Act,
- 43:33Speaker 4: and we don't have it anymore. Why because our First
- 43:35Speaker 4: Amendment protects them. We've got Satanists, devil worshipers, all sorts
- 43:40Speaker 4: of what's the word I'm looking for there, occult.
- 43:50Speaker 7: All legal.
- 43:52Speaker 4: Because they have freedom of religion, and Wiccan has been
- 43:56Speaker 4: recognized by the courts as a religion. So pardon me
- 44:02Speaker 4: if I take offense to the people that aren't as
- 44:04Speaker 4: tolerant as we are as I am. So you could
- 44:09Speaker 4: take that somewhere else, mister Abdul Rahman, else I d
- 44:13Speaker 4: I hope Mike Rogers cleans your clock, and I hope
- 44:17Speaker 4: that we get better with our messaging, and I hope
- 44:19Speaker 4: that we get better with our outcomes, because we really
- 44:24Speaker 4: shouldn't be so far apart right when it comes to affordability,
- 44:28Speaker 4: both sides are singing the same song, and the reason
- 44:31Speaker 4: why very simple. When you're young like me. When I
- 44:35Speaker 4: was seventeen eighteen, I wanted to marry my girlfriend who
- 44:39Speaker 4: was seventeen. I was eighteen, she was seventeen. She said no,
- 44:43Speaker 4: I had to wait.
- 44:44Speaker 7: We waited.
- 44:45Speaker 4: Got married when I was twenty three and she was
- 44:49Speaker 4: about to turn twenty two, we had a child, we
- 44:53Speaker 4: had another child, bought a condo, then we bought a home.
- 44:58Speaker 7: And I say this.
- 44:59Speaker 4: Story because the cost of childcare back then was probably
- 45:07Speaker 4: half of what it is now. And it was a fortune.
- 45:12Speaker 4: And we did all right, but it was a fortune.
- 45:17Speaker 4: And that was two people that had some college education,
- 45:23Speaker 4: that had some work experience, you know, from beyond high school,
- 45:30Speaker 4: and we're out there grinding, you know, doing our thing.
- 45:35Speaker 4: Let me tell you it wasn't easy.
- 45:38Speaker 5: And again.
- 45:40Speaker 4: Today you're talking about fifteen every bit of fifteen hundred
- 45:45Speaker 4: dollars for childcare. Now I'm not saying the government needs
- 45:51Speaker 4: to pay for it. I'm saying we need to live
- 45:54Speaker 4: in an economy that dictates that type of so that
- 46:01Speaker 4: people can say sure or no, honey, you stay home,
- 46:04Speaker 4: you take care of our children. Now I'm going to
- 46:06Speaker 4: go out there and make two fifty or three hundred
- 46:08Speaker 4: K a year so I could really hold it down.
- 46:11Speaker 4: And that's I think where the number is. Because if
- 46:14Speaker 4: you make forty eight thousand or sixty two thousand, you
- 46:18Speaker 4: can't live in this part of the country where I
- 46:20Speaker 4: am right. You might have to live somewhere, maybe in
- 46:22Speaker 4: Michigan where they are. And that's my point that we've
- 46:28Speaker 4: reached a thing.
- 46:29Speaker 5: What a week ago they.
- 46:32Speaker 4: Said Miami is now the same the same price, or
- 46:37Speaker 4: had surpassed Manhattan. New York City is less expensive to
- 46:42Speaker 4: live in than Miami. Did you hear that? That's insanity.
- 46:45Speaker 4: Let's see if we can pull that up.
- 46:47Speaker 16: Miami is frequently called New York City's sixth Borough, but
- 46:51Speaker 16: living there may now cost you more than living here.
- 46:55Speaker 16: For the first time on record, government data shows the
- 46:57Speaker 16: Miami metro area is more expensive than the New York
- 47:01Speaker 16: City regent at the biggest reason housing cost. Home prices
- 47:06Speaker 16: have climbed nearly eighty percent since the pandemic, as had
- 47:10Speaker 16: property taxes and homeowners insurance. Oh well, you've got rather
- 47:15Speaker 16: better than Miami today.
- 47:16Speaker 5: We do.
- 47:17Speaker 9: And by the way, I've never said that they were
- 47:19Speaker 9: the sixth Borough.
- 47:20Speaker 6: Never.
- 47:22Speaker 5: I think the New Yorkers that have moved maybe.
- 47:27Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, well, look that's ABC seven New York
- 47:32Speaker 4: talking about Miami. But I say all of this and
- 47:36Speaker 4: point this out because Florida used to be the place
- 47:38Speaker 4: where you could only go to the retire because there
- 47:42Speaker 4: were no jobs, there was no money. But that's the
- 47:44Speaker 4: thing in the past COVID changed the game. People work
- 47:47Speaker 4: remote now, so guess what, you can work from anywhere
- 47:52Speaker 4: and bring your money with you. And that's why Miami
- 47:56Speaker 4: is now out pacing New York City in terms of
- 47:58Speaker 4: being more expensive. There go my my dreams of moving there.
- 48:00Speaker 4: I was trying to go there to save a few bucks.
- 48:03Speaker 4: I've been moving to Miami for the last three and
- 48:05Speaker 4: a half years, four maybe five. And guess what, I
- 48:09Speaker 4: might have priced myself out of the market, so might
- 48:11Speaker 4: have to make that move to Puerto Rico or figure
- 48:14Speaker 4: out how to make more money. And again that becomes
- 48:16Speaker 4: the quintessential question, right And I'm off topic from LSI
- 48:20Speaker 4: ed here, but I really want to make this point
- 48:21Speaker 4: because when candidates talk about our political parties talk about affordability,
- 48:27Speaker 4: it really comes down to one of two things. A
- 48:29Speaker 4: the government is going to pay for things or get
- 48:34Speaker 4: out of the way to make things more affordable less regulation,
- 48:38Speaker 4: or B create the conditions for more money to be made.
- 48:47Speaker 4: And I think that's what Trump did when he first
- 48:49Speaker 4: took office in twenty eighteen and the economy was on fire.
- 48:52Speaker 4: And I think he's trying to do the same thing now.
- 48:54Speaker 4: But he's got a lot of competition from the Biden years,
- 48:57Speaker 4: a lot of competition from the Iranians, a lot of
- 49:00Speaker 4: petition from a lack of support in Congress and the Senate.
- 49:03Speaker 4: It's a lot going on here, and I think Trump
- 49:05Speaker 4: has done both and right. He's tried to make tax
- 49:10Speaker 4: credits towards your tax when it's earned by tips over time.
- 49:18Speaker 4: These are all tax credits that the president has to
- 49:21Speaker 4: his credit, included in the big beautiful bill.
- 49:23Speaker 7: Fantastic.
- 49:25Speaker 4: These are good things. We need more. I'm not saying
- 49:28Speaker 4: it's not enough. I'm just saying it's good. We're on
- 49:31Speaker 4: the right track. But not everybody has overtime and not
- 49:35Speaker 4: everybody has tips. So what happens to the nineteen or
- 49:39Speaker 4: twenty year old girl that's a friend of my daughter's
- 49:42Speaker 4: that moved to Washington a couple of years ago and
- 49:45Speaker 4: is back. She's back in this neighborhood and she's got
- 49:47Speaker 4: herself an apartment, and the apartment is I think it
- 49:52Speaker 4: was two three and fifty dollars for a one bedroom
- 49:59Speaker 4: and a new con instruction building. I believe that's I
- 50:02Speaker 4: believe I've got it right. And she's not out of
- 50:07Speaker 4: college yet, but that's what they cost. There's a handful
- 50:13Speaker 4: of old inventory around here. So some will say, oh,
- 50:16Speaker 4: there's a housing crisis. Look, I honestly say, no, there's
- 50:18Speaker 4: a money crisis. There's a money crisis. If you're going
- 50:21Speaker 4: to charge twenty three hundred and fifty dollars, then we
- 50:24Speaker 4: all need to make more money. Where does the money
- 50:27Speaker 4: come from?
- 50:27Speaker 10: Right?
- 50:27Speaker 4: The economy has to be booming, or people will start
- 50:33Speaker 4: to listen to mom Donnie and say, so, tell me
- 50:35Speaker 4: more about that free bus, tell me more about that
- 50:41Speaker 4: free healthcare, that universal pre k. I want to hear
- 50:44Speaker 4: all about it, mayor Mom, Donnie, I want to hear
- 50:46Speaker 4: about that rent freeze. Right, because now they're looking at survival.
- 50:51Speaker 4: I'm not trying to make a case for these people.
- 50:53Speaker 4: I'm trying to help you understand why people are looking
- 50:56Speaker 4: at them this way in the areas they're winning in, right,
- 50:59Speaker 4: because these places have become unaffordable and unsustainable. And that's
- 51:04Speaker 4: the bottom line. So I don't know which way we go.
- 51:07Speaker 4: And I talk about this all the time. Elon Musk,
- 51:10Speaker 4: when he was in Saudi Arabia at one of those
- 51:13Speaker 4: business panels, he said, point blank, the United States is
- 51:17Speaker 4: going to have to start offering universal basic income to people,
- 51:21Speaker 4: and I believe the number he mentioned was some astronomical
- 51:23Speaker 4: figure like a six figure income in order for people
- 51:26Speaker 4: to be able to live in different parts of the
- 51:28Speaker 4: country and enjoy themselves and contribute back to the economy.
- 51:32Speaker 4: And I believe the word on the street is that
- 51:35Speaker 4: that would be made possible through tariffs. But I don't
- 51:38Speaker 4: see that happening just yet. I'm not saying it's not
- 51:40Speaker 4: going to This is not, you know, me beating on Trump.
- 51:43Speaker 4: I think tariffs have been extraordinarily effective, and if anything,
- 51:48Speaker 4: it was all these lawsuits that have really put a
- 51:50Speaker 4: damper on things. But that being said, our message can't
- 51:55Speaker 4: be cloaked in anger all the time. Yes, some righteous
- 51:59Speaker 4: indignation when things that are obviously wrong are called out.
- 52:04Speaker 4: Sure people are gonna get pissed off, but you can't
- 52:07Speaker 4: let a cloud your judgment. And you have to understand,
- 52:09Speaker 4: at the end of the day, many people don't care
- 52:11Speaker 4: about politics. I wish everybody listened to my show. I
- 52:17Speaker 4: would do that much better. But the reality is people
- 52:20Speaker 4: don't all listen to talk radio, people don't all pay
- 52:25Speaker 4: attention to the news, and they don't all vote. So
- 52:30Speaker 4: why do guys like LSI ed win. That's why how
- 52:35Speaker 4: do we improve. We have to embrace some hope. And
- 52:39Speaker 4: that's why Trump has been extraordinarily successful. He's always painting
- 52:43Speaker 4: America as great again, the good old days, when things
- 52:46Speaker 4: were great, right, when things were cheap, when mom stayed home,
- 52:49Speaker 4: Dad worked one job and bought two homes, one for
- 52:53Speaker 4: vacation out in the woods, out in the country, down
- 52:55Speaker 4: at the beach, and you know, you leave it to
- 52:59Speaker 4: beaver house with the pick of fence in a lawn.
- 53:02Speaker 4: He had a family car and all that on one
- 53:06Speaker 4: salary and four kids. People are thirsting for that American
- 53:11Speaker 4: dream again.
- 53:12Speaker 7: Did we get back to that?
- 53:14Speaker 4: I doubt it. I don't think we've ever hit reverse
- 53:16Speaker 4: and you know, successfully driven backwards. We've never really turned
- 53:20Speaker 4: back the hands of time. But we can make the
- 53:25Speaker 4: future better. And that's the point I'm trying to make.
- 53:28Speaker 4: Keep it locked right here. I'm my child, Dees.
- 53:30Speaker 6: This is America, this is America.
- 53:42Speaker 1: He's making podcasting great again. This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 54:15Speaker 17: I just don't understand the majority of people who are
- 54:18Speaker 17: like I want to get married and dedicate my life
- 54:24Speaker 17: to raising a kid and then work a job for
- 54:27Speaker 17: like I don't understand the average person because it's just
- 54:30Speaker 17: like that, Like, that's the same story everybody else is living.
- 54:36Speaker 17: You want to live the same exact story everybody else
- 54:39Speaker 17: is living. You don't want to do anything cool.
- 54:42Speaker 4: You don't want to do anything cool. That's Kaylee Kachley
- 54:48Speaker 4: going on saying that people aren't thinking too deeply about
- 54:51Speaker 4: anything or finding the deeper meaning in things because they're
- 54:55Speaker 4: too busy a sleep in the matrix of get married,
- 55:00Speaker 4: get a job, and go ahead, do as you're told.
- 55:03Speaker 4: Is there anything left on this clip? Go ahead like
- 55:06Speaker 4: you want to.
- 55:07Speaker 17: You're an average person and you want to live an
- 55:09Speaker 17: average life, and you want to raise average human beings.
- 55:13Speaker 17: And that's how you want to spend your.
- 55:15Speaker 6: Life on earth.
- 55:18Speaker 17: You know how that plays out? Like it's like and
- 55:21Speaker 17: you want to work a boring job that's like the
- 55:26Speaker 17: same thing everyone else is doing. What's so interesting about that?
- 55:29Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 55:31Speaker 4: I don't know, Kayley Cochley. I think that you are
- 55:35Speaker 4: making a point that a lot of young people probably share.
- 55:40Speaker 4: I would disagree, but again, I'm probably twenty years older
- 55:43Speaker 4: than this young lady. And this is where we are, funny, Yeah,
- 55:48Speaker 4: this is where we are so many young people feel
- 55:50Speaker 4: this way. As a matter of fact, I have a
- 55:52Speaker 4: number a number of my own contemporaries that are forty seven,
- 55:56Speaker 4: forty eight years old that haven't been married and haven't
- 55:59Speaker 4: had children, and I find that alarming. I know a
- 56:07Speaker 4: handful of millennials that only had one kid and aren't married.
- 56:16Speaker 4: The dynamic that I grew up with mom and dad
- 56:19Speaker 4: four kids. If they were middle class, they had a car,
- 56:22Speaker 4: maybe they owned a home, they did it really well,
- 56:26Speaker 4: like a union job. Maybe they owned two homes. That
- 56:30Speaker 4: dynamic is out the window, both economically and quite frankly,
- 56:36Speaker 4: just morally. Those aren't the morals and values that people
- 56:39Speaker 4: have anymore. People aren't doing it now. I know we
- 56:42Speaker 4: hear a lot about gen Z and making a comeback,
- 56:44Speaker 4: and praise God for that. I'm glad that churches are
- 56:47Speaker 4: being filled with gen Z people and more millennials are
- 56:50Speaker 4: going to church and etc. Etc. I'm glad that we're
- 56:55Speaker 4: seeing a resurgence, but it doesn't mean that it's the majority.
- 56:59Speaker 4: It doesn't mean it's the norm, and I want it
- 57:04Speaker 4: to be. I want it to be the norm. I
- 57:06Speaker 4: want it to be the majority. I want people to
- 57:08Speaker 4: get married and have families and have children and see
- 57:10Speaker 4: the value in that and the value in a tack
- 57:13Speaker 4: structure that embraces that type of lifestyle. But instead we've
- 57:18Speaker 4: got people that are following the all out crazy AOC
- 57:23Speaker 4: mantra of I don't want to have kids because it's
- 57:27Speaker 4: going to ruin the ecosystem when we can't afford it.
- 57:31Speaker 4: The world is going to end in twelve years because
- 57:33Speaker 4: of global warming. Look, I can't subscribe to that stuff.
- 57:41Speaker 4: Too many people have already done that, and it's not
- 57:44Speaker 4: for me. Right, I believe in rolling the dice. I
- 57:47Speaker 4: believe in the boring life she's talking about, even if
- 57:49Speaker 4: you follow your dreams, whether you want to become a
- 57:51Speaker 4: radio person, a TV person, a professional athlete, whatever it
- 57:55Speaker 4: is you want to do. I started my journey in
- 57:58Speaker 4: radio at thirty nine years old, after having been a
- 58:01Speaker 4: small business owner and a government administrator, and a charter
- 58:05Speaker 4: school co founder and a bunch of really cool things
- 58:08Speaker 4: that I've gotten to do over the years. I was
- 58:10Speaker 4: a barber, and now I get to do all this
- 58:13Speaker 4: cool stuff, and in many ways I didn't have the
- 58:16Speaker 4: boring job that this girl was talking about. But I
- 58:18Speaker 4: credit all of that with ADHD. Right, that is the
- 58:23Speaker 4: real reason. But ultimately there is a happy medium, right.
- 58:30Speaker 4: You can pursue your dreams, you can pursue your passion.
- 58:34Speaker 4: You can live the life that you want to live
- 58:39Speaker 4: without being boring. You can do both, but you got
- 58:43Speaker 4: to be intentional about it. You know, the interview we
- 58:45Speaker 4: did with doctor Ablow, it was an eye opening and
- 58:49Speaker 4: that he was talking about rewriting your own life. If
- 58:52Speaker 4: you haven't heard it, check it out. And it was
- 58:55Speaker 4: great having doctor Elayne Heally on tonight as well. Anyway,
- 58:58Speaker 4: on me goes. This is where I say goodbye to
- 59:00Speaker 4: you guys, and I'll tell you I'll be back tomorrow. Remember,
- 59:03Speaker 4: if you fall for anything, nope, if you stand for nothing,
- 59:07Speaker 4: you'll fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
- 59:11Speaker 4: evil to triumph is for good people like you to
- 59:13Speaker 4: sit there and do nothing. So make sure you do something.
- 59:17Speaker 4: I start approximo until the next time. America. I'm Rich
- 59:20Speaker 4: Valdez and this is America.
- 59:24Speaker 6: This is America. At
