• 0:56
  Speaker 4: play your comments on the Open Phone America segment. So
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: make sure you make them clearly. And I want to
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: start with the massive historic national security directive that just
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: shattered the digital landscape. El Trumpito, Donaldus Magnus, the 45th
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: and 47th president of these United States. El presidente Donald J.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Trump has officially launched the super intelligence force. He's appointed
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: National Intelligence Director Jay Clayton to lead this brand new
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: executive branch powerhouse. This isn't just about computers, familia. This
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: is about total global dominance in the AI space, in
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: the arms race against communist China. The administration is completely
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: purging the phrase artificial intelligence, AI, and Because it's a
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: fake word. It's a fake word from here on out.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: It's going to be super intelligence. Now, I don't know
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: if Trumpito paid attention. I did make the recommendation last
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: week saying we should call it American intelligence because AI
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: isn't going to go anywhere. I think people are going
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: to continue to call this AI. I don't think anybody's
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: going to call it SI, but I could be wrong. Anyway,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: why would that matter historically? Well, if you think back
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: to the times of Ronald Reagan, the Gipper, Ronaldus Magnus,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: as he was dubbed by Rush Limbaugh, he understood that
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: piece-by-piece appeasement leads to destruction. He basically gave us the SDI,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: as they called it, right? The Strategic Defense Initiative. The
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: left mocked it as Star Wars. But it broke the
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: back of the Soviet Union because Reagan knew that peace
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: comes through strength. Today, the digital frontier is... our new frontier, right?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: That's where we're at. Back in the days, you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the days of the Enlightenment and those that were influenced
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: by the Enlightenment, Montesquieu, in his masterpiece that he wrote,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: The Spirit of Laws, back in 1748, he spoke heavily
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: about how a republic must preserve its principles and balance
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: power to defend itself against external despots. I think that's
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: what's going on right now, right? It was going on then,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: it's going on now. If we don't control superintelligence, a
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: godless Marxist surveillance state in Beijing will use it to
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: enslave the free world. It's that simple. Punto y final.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: But that's not everything, right? There's more. Because I'm not
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: being driven into a tailspin over this stuff. Mira, if
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: you look at the headlines at MSNBC and Morning Joe,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: they're frantic. They're accusing Trump of pretty much borrowing their
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Democrat playbook. They're calling him boring.
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Well, because President Trump just doubled down on his blockbuster
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: promise to give every single adult US citizen a $ 5, 000
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Trump dividend if Republicans can hold on to Congress. They
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: say he's acting like a leftist redistributionist. What a joke.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Look at the fundamental difference. The Marxists and the Democrat
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Party want to seize your wealth. They want to take it,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: corrupt it, put it through their filter of the bloated
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: federal government, redistribute to whomever they want. They're trying to
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: buy your compliance. Trump is trying to earn your vote
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: by giving you back money that you've already paid into
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the system. Huge difference. He's not a tax and spend liberal.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: He's trying to give you back your money. I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: that is such an important distinction here. Now, Frederick Bastiat,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: he called this legal plunder. He wrote a treatise many
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: years ago called The Law back in 1850. Bastiat warned
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: us that when law becomes the weapon, then plunder it'll be.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It destroys the foundation of a nation. Trump isn't trying
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: to build a welfare state. I don't believe he is.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I think that there may be an element of that
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: in the future because of AI, but he's not trying
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to build a welfare state. This dividend is tied directly
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: to the America First trade policies and massive economic deregulation
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that his tariff policy created. It's returning the fruits of
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: American sovereignty back to the American worker. You know, John Locke,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: he taught about this in his second treatise of government
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: back in 1689. And what stood out was that the
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: protection of private property is the sole legitimate purpose of government.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: That's it. Everything else is extra. The left wants to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: confiscate your property. Trump wants to reward the sovereign citizen.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: By giving them back their money so they could buy
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: more of it. Clearly different. I mean, it just amazes
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: me that they try to even say that Trump is
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: wrong for doing that. And yet, the lefties, the left wing,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: the left within the media, the left within academia, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: left everywhere, they think that they're gaining momentum. So as
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: we barrel towards the midterm elections on November 3rd, we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: less than a month away. Today's the 5th. The corporate pollsters,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: they're screaming from the rooftops. By the way, we've got
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to have some of them in. I want to have in,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: if we can, I'd like to have Trafalgar Group in here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I'd like to have the McLaughlin Associates in here to
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: really get a handle on their thinking on this election.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But again, Democrats think they're heavily favored to take back
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: the House and Senate. That's just a narrative in their making,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: in their minds. that they're trying to create as a
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: reality in the media. They're pointing to early betting odds. Okay,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: so maybe some of the prediction markets are buying what
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: they're selling. But the numbers aren't necessarily in their favor,
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: not even close. The numbers they're relying on are a mirage,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: in my opinion. They're oversampling urban strongholds. They're completely ignoring
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the street, not just what happens in the streets, but
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: what happens with really the sleeping giant, right? The massive
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: surge of independent voters who are utterly disgusted with inflation,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: with open borders, with left-wing overreach, with boys becoming girls,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: girls becoming boys. These are disaffected people. And a lot
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: of them happen to be black. So as Trump begins
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: to cut into the margins of the left with their
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: traditional voter base, all he's doing is solidifying his own power,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: holding on to more of what he's built, right? two
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: majorities one in the senate and one in the house
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the fundamentals basically they don't lie here when the american
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: people see a choice between stagnation of marxist collectivism you
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: know basically what mamdani is doing and the liberty of
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: an america first economy freedom is going to win every
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: single time now it may not win in a place
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: like new york because obviously they're looking for the handout
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: right they've realized they've they've hit rock bottom they're They
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: don't believe in the system. But that rot is not
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: just in New York City. It's bleeding into part of
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: the fabric of our country, but it hasn't taken over yet.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And if we look at the headlines of moms that
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: are intentionally harming their own kids, killing their own kids, right?
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: This is just an example to me of what's going on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: The corporate media shrugs trying to kind of clean this up.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: trying to clinicalize it, make it seem like it's supposed
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: to happen. They do the same thing with these elections. Oh, yeah, yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: you're supposed to have crazy people running on the street.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: What was it, two or three weeks ago? A heavyset
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Hispanic woman was trying to commit suicide by cops. She
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: had two knives in her hand. The cops did an
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: excellent job keeping her at bay, tried to take her
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: down with a taser. Once she got tased, she advanced
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: towards them with both knives, and she got her wish.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be crass. I'm trying to say that, look,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: people are fed up. People don't do stuff like that
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: when things are so great in Mamdani land. They don't
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: care to die because things suck. So don't believe all
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: that hype, right? This cultural Marxism is not good. This
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: isn't just a statistical anomaly that we're looking at where
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: you see more and more lefties getting elected to positions
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: in certain cities. This isn't just a trend that we're
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: seeing with these moms that are killing their own kids.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: There was a case in the Bronx. That woman won,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: by the way. She won her case on guilty by
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: reason of insanity. This is radical feminism put on steroids
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: by a godless atheism that's permeating society.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: Yep.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: As the great one would say, that's right. I said it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: But really, this is a war on the traditional nuclear family.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: When you strip the Judeo-Christian faith or framework out of culture,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: out of society, out of everyday life, and you replace
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: it with state worship, right? Worshiping at the altar of
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: big government. Radical individualism to the point where you don't
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: belong to anything. It's divide and conquer on steroids. You
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: destroy the natural, the God-given maternal instinct that women are
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: supposed to have. It's the ultimate manifestation of cultural Marxism.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I should say cultural Marxism. This destruction of the family
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: union to make the individual completely reliant on the state,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: on the government. It's truly sick and it's sad. Even
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: their own cultural elites, right? They can't escape the monster
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: that they've partially created. Look at Hollywood mogul, Tyler Perry, right?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: He makes all those funny movies like Medea and others.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: He literally just listed his massive Beverly Hills mansion today
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: for a staggering $ 57 million. And this is part of
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: an announcement he made a couple of weeks ago that
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: he's pulling back from work to live with his son
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and be a more active dad. And he's moving to where?
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rico. Now, What happened? The local left-wing activists down
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: on the island in Puerto Rico, they're hitting him with
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: a massive backlash. Mendido, why? Well, I'll tell you why.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: Because the radical left, in their opinion, he's never pure enough, right?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: He's not leftist enough. You can't really be a radical
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: leftist if you're making all that money. He didn't check
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: off enough boxes on their ideological spreadsheet. This is why
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: their revolution always devours their own people. And these are
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: just some of the things we're going to get into tonight.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I'm going to start off with El Trompito and what
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: he had to say about this dividend and where to
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: take it from there. Plus, any thoughts and reactions from
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: you guys, we will play in the final segment. Open
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: phones across America. But for now, I want you to
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: keep it locked right here. Don't move a muscle. I'm
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: Rich Valdez, and I'm just getting started.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: This is America.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: All right, amigos, Rich Valdez here. I am honored to
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: serve on the host committee for what will undoubtedly be
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the premier gathering of global influence this season. That's right.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Next Wednesday, October 14th, Latino Wall Street will host the
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: official Hispanic Heritage Gala at the historic Andrew W. Mellon
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Auditorium right in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. This is
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: literally down the block from the White House. This is
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: a strictly black-tie private event meticulously curated for captains of industry,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: heads of state, global investors, and networkers like you. Now,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: this evening is going to provide unparalleled gastronomy and alignment
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: with inner circle decision makers, the people that you want
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: to make friends with. The room is going to bring
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: together a select assembly of sitting members of Congress, visionary entrepreneurs,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: institutional investors, international diplomats, that are shaping the future of
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: global economic leadership, and you don't want to miss this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: We're proud to welcome the president of Argentina, Javier Mele,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: who is going to be our guest of honor, alongside
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: the treasurer of the United States, Brandon Beach. Because of
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: the highly restricted and high-profile nature of this gathering, attendance
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: is limited and strictly subject to committee approval. But if
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: you want to apply for an invitation, go to hispanicheritagegala.org.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: And find out more. That's HispanicGala.org. HispanicGala.org. Go there right now.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Submit your executive application for an individual invitation. And maybe
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: you can even secure a corporate sponsorship if that's in
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: the cards for you. HispanicGala.org. Tell them Rich Valdez sent you.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: This is America. He's brown, he's bald, and he's breaking
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: it down.
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: Oh, he's so handsome. What's his name?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Rich Valdez.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Alright, familia, welcome back. And what was it that Ed
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: Trompito said that got him in so much trouble with
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: this $ 5, 000 dividend? Well, of course, you heard him say
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: it when he gave that speech in Dallas, Texas at
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: the midterm RNC convention. But he doubled down on it
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: and really explained it in probably the most sensible way
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I've heard yet when he sat down for an interview
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: with the fake news media. Listen to this.
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: You proposed... Trump dividends given every American $ 5, 000, American citizen
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: if they have.
• 15:04
  Speaker 9: Adult.
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: Adult citizen, $ 5, 000. And I'm wondering, would Congress need to
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: approve that?
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Well, we think not.
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: I think they will do it if we needed it,
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: but we think not. The country is doing so well.
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: We've taken in trillions of dollars in tariffs and other things.
• 15:21
  Speaker 9: We have now over $ 20 trillion worth of manufacturing plants
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: and other investments being made in the United States, which
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: is far greater than ever before. And we think it's
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: something that would be good. We do have one proviso,
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: and that's that the money be spent, that people spend
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: their money in the United States. We don't want to
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: have that money spent in other countries. And we think
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: it's something that's really good, popular, and it's a great infusion.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: All right, this one's actually with Speaker Johnson, and then
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: we'll get to the Trump clip. This is Kristen Welker
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: from the Fake News, and then we'll go to President
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: Trump with Laura Ingraham. Let's go with Kristen Welker and
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Speaker Johnson.
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: National debt, the largest threat facing the country. Why would
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: you want to add to the debt, Mr.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: Speaker?
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: I don't want to add to that, Kristen. And I
• 16:08
  Speaker 11: guess we're going to spend the whole segment talking about
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: this one issue when there's so many other things.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: No, we're going to get to what we've actually.
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: Done and not ideas on the table. OK, I'd love to.
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: But let me just say, no, we don't want to
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: add to the debt. But if you look at what
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: Commerce Secretary Lutnick said in the last 48 hours or
• 16:23
  Speaker 11: so and what the president himself has said, this is
• 16:26
  Speaker 11: not to add to anything. It's not going to take
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: taxpayer funds. We're not going to get further in debt
• 16:32
  Speaker 11: if this idea was implemented. This would be, in the
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: president's mind, in the way he analogized it, like a
• 16:37
  Speaker 11: dividend check for shareholders. That's how he thinks of it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: If a corporation does well, everybody gets the benefit of that.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Key distinction. We are taking advantage. Money that we've already
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: taken from the taxpayer and giving it back to the taxpayer.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Very different than printing money to give back. I'm not
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: sure if you're getting that point.
• 16:57
  Speaker 11: And he thinks of it this way. They're talking about
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: the new tariff revenue and other revenues coming into the country.
• 17:05
  Speaker 11: He said at the convention, you know, trillions of dollars
• 17:07
  Speaker 11: have come into the country since he took office because
• 17:10
  Speaker 11: the new trade deals, the things that are more advantageous
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: for America. And he wants to make sure the American
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: people feel the good effect of that. So, again, we've
• 17:18
  Speaker 11: got to process it like every idea. We'll work that
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: through Congress. But you and I are wasting a lot
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: of time this morning when there's other important things to
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: talk about.
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: Well, you still haven't answered the question. Let me just
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: button it up. We're going to move on to a
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: number of other topics. But do you commit that if
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: Republicans hold on to the House and Senate that Americans
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: will get those $ 5, 000 checks?
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: I commit that Congress will work through it and find
• 17:37
  Speaker 11: consensus on that like I have to do everything else.
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: We have a small margin in this Congress. We've had
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: the smallest in history, one or two vote margin on
• 17:44
  Speaker 11: every given day. So it takes some time. I never
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: go out and give big commitments on the front end
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: because I've got to work through it. And that's what
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: we do every single day.
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: President Trump promised that to voters, though. You're not willing
• 17:53
  Speaker 10: to double down on that promise?
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: I'll work with the president hand in hand, as I
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: do all the time, and we'll deliver for the American people.
• 17:59
  Speaker 12: That's the promise.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: All right. He's going to deliver for the American people. Listen,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I like Speaker Johnson, and I believe these guys are
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: going to try. There's always, you know, more to this, right? A,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the president believes he can do this without Congress, which
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: is great, if it's in fact the thing. And B,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Speaker Johnson then has to work with Hakeem Jeffries and
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the rest of those guys. And if they can get
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: it through the House, then the same process has to
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: ensue with Chuck Schumer, right? I mean, this is not
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: an easy lift. Chuck Schumer is not going to want
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: to see $ 5, 000 in the hands of Americans. Not a chance.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: They saw what happened with the COVID checks and they're
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: still reeling. There are people still this day that are
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: angry with Trump because he gave out that money. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: they're like, man, that's how Trump was able to get
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: so many new voters. A lot of people believe that.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: And I think that's partially true. I think there's more
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: to it than that. Trump, I think a lot of
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: people forget, is an existing brand that people liked. A
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: lot of black people, people in the hip hop community,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: everybody liked Trump. That's just a fact. He was the
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: guy in New York City. He was the guy probably
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: across America for quite a while. So my point is,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: back to the numbers of this, you've got El Trumpito saying,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I'm going to give you five grand. I think we
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: can do it without Congress. And I think as long
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: as he goes through Congress, he shouldn't have a problem
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: doing it. It seems to make sense for me. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: don't know what you think. Let me know your thoughts.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: 877-VALDEZ-1.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Now, I want to continue.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Why? Because.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: There's a lot more to discuss. And one of the
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: things I want to get into is, and that is
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: what's going on with this AI business, right? Trump is
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: talking about trillions and trillions of dollars that are coming
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: into the country. Everybody else crying about data centers. I
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: believe this is one of those Trojan horses that the
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: left is going to try and use to scare people.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: They want people afraid of AI so they can use it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: stuff against us, use our progress, our dynamic economy against us. Now, listen,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to piss on your leg and tell
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: you it's raining. I understand there's a cash flow crunch
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: going on in many industries across America, in particular small businesses.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I'm no fool. But I also realize that There's a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: massive investment going on on the tech side of things.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And President Trump alluded to that when talking about this
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: AI website that the government has launched. And what's interesting
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: about this is President Trump's on the campaign trail. He's
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: out there. He's going state to state like he's running
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: for president. This guy is not only just a hard
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: worker in terms of being a president trying to reshape
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: the legacy of America, but he's also... A great candidate
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: when he's not even on the ballot. Listen to El
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Trompito de Noltes Magnus.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Listen to search through the endless maze of tens of
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: thousands of terrible government websites and rules and more than 10,000 forms.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: You have over 10,000 forms to do basic acts. You'll
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: now have one front door for every single question. Everything
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: will be answered easily and quickly. A digital home built
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: around your time and your life. You'll save hours and hours,
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: many hours, hundreds of hours, perhaps a year, depending on
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: how much of that type of information you need. Simply
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: ask for what you need and America.gov will provide answers
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: and it will be provided immediately.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Think of that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: It's amazing. Anyone has used Grok or Gemini or chat,
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: GPT will understand instantly how to use America.gov.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: There you go. America now has its own AI. How
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: about that? How about them apples? America AI. And that's America.gov,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: by the way. That's the website in question. So good.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Now, very different approach, right? He's talking about government making
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: life simpler for Americans trying to navigate red tape. Meanwhile,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: there's other politicians out there that say, no, no, no.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: What we want to do is make things a little
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: bit Easier on your pocket by way of making it
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: harder on the pockets of people who earn more. What
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: do I mean? The transfer of wealth that every communist loves.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Zoran Mamdani, he sat down with Theo Vaughn, I think
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: is his name, right? I hope I'm getting it right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: I always confuse him and Aiden Ross. I know they're
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: both big YouTubers, big influencers. But the clip is interesting
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: because he asked him a very, very appropriate question. And
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Mamdani's answer was exactly what we thought it would be.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Listen to this.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Socialism, right? Because it's a buzzword, right? Because socialism, will
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you define socialism for us? Because people say it a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: lot and don't know what it is. And sometimes those
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: people are me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I'm so happy to be with those people right now.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Socialism to me, it means that you will have whatever
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: you need to live a dignified life. and that it
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: is the government's job to deliver on that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: You have to see his face. You got to see
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: his face. His jaw is literally dropping. It's the government's
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: job to make your life a little bit better. Not safer,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: not protect life and property, but to make it better. So,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: si te duele la nalga, right? If your butt hurts,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: it's the government's job to help you out. No, sir, Mr. Mamdani,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: it is not the government's job to be your daddy.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Punto y final. I don't think I could punctuate that
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: any better.
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez coming right back.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
• 23:57
  Speaker 14: The 45th president, Donald Trump, thinks it's an honor to
• 24:01
  Speaker 14: speak with Rich Valdez.
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Much an honor. Thanks, Rich.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: The honor is all yours. Conservative Talk with a dash
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: of sofrito.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Now, here's Rich Valdez.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: All right, familia, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez. We continue
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: our conversation, and I want to talk about something that
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: we don't talk enough about, right? And that's the safety
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: of children. And we talk about it, I guess, from
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: time to time with respect to human trafficking and child trafficking.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: And of course, those are important topics that need to
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: continue to be addressed. Kudos to the FBI for doing
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: a great job with that. But I want to talk
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: specifically about, I guess, a different aspect of that. When
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: children are in institutional care, right, because we've been seeing
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: so many things, I'm going to call it the extended
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Lindsay Clancy effect, where every day there's another story of
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: a mom going berserk and doing something dumb with her children.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: And it's heartbreaking, to say the least, right, to hear
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: these things and to think that We're paying attention now
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: because of the popularity of the Lindsay Clancy trial. But
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that these things haven't been happening and
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: happen more regularly than we think. So I want to
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: get into that a little bit because it really is,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I guess the word I'm looking for is,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know, heartbreaking. I'm going to stick with heartbreaking because,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: come on, this is a terrible thing. Now, I'm stalling
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: a little bit because I'm trying to see if I
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: have the sheet that tells me the audio I'm looking
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: for of these moms, right? Here we go. This one,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: very recent. Another mom doing crazy stuff. Listen to this. Very,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: very sad.
• 25:53
  Speaker 13: Within the last 24 hours, and we know that that
• 25:55
  Speaker 13: baby is between the age of four and six months old.
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: This is some video from earlier this morning. Police say
• 26:02
  Speaker 13: that the baby was found and taken to the hospital
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: where she was pronounced dead. There are safe surrender sites
• 26:07
  Speaker 13: parents can take their babies to within 72 hours of
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: being born if they don't think they can properly care
• 26:13
  Speaker 13: for the child. This is completely safe and legal. No
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: questions asked, and parents can get an ID tag at
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: the surrender site to help get their child back within
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: 14 days if they change their mind. In L.A. County,
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: you can go to babysafela.org to find the nearest drop-off
• 26:28
  Speaker 13: location to you, like a fire station or a hospital,
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: or you can call 1-877-222-9723. So this mom, 19 years old,
• 26:33
  Speaker 13: she was arrested. She's now in police custody after.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Her Four to six month old baby girl was found
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: dead inside a dumpster in southern Los Angeles. Another resident
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: in the facility she lived in discovered the fully dressed
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: infant wrapped in a plastic bag.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: It's difficult for me to even read these things. This
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: is why I don't like to talk about these things.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: They really do make me sad. This stuff is heartbreaking.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: But yes, this is happening. It happens a lot. Maybe
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: it's postpartum depression. Maybe it's whatever. In this case, it's
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: a black girl. So I would suspect, and I'm not
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: making the case for anything, but I would suspect that
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: her defense of postpartum may not be as effective. Now,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: there was a black girl in the Bronx did the
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: same thing recently, a lot more recently than Lindsay Clancy did.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: And she was found not guilty by reason of mental defect.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: So this is happening, and I think women are getting
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: away with it. And a lot of people are saying, hey, listen, well,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: maybe what you need to do is not have your kids.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Maybe the state should be taking your kids because you
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: shouldn't be allowed to have kids if you think this
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: type of behavior is okay. And guess what? I'm the
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: first person to say I don't want the government taking
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: anybody's kids. But if it's a choice between a kid
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: living in foster care or the kid not living, I
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: think it's pretty clear, right, where we're at. Absolutely atrocious. Now,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: that was just one of many cases that I've seen here.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: Listen to this one. I got another one right here.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: This is horrible. This is from a week ago. This
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: is a mom in South Carolina. She's been accused or
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: charged here stabbing her two children over 50 times and
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: then she left them alone to die. This is a
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: white woman wearing a orange jumpsuit speaking with a black woman.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: That's a judge wearing a black robe. All right, go ahead.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Play the audio. This is heartbreaking.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Go.
• 28:53
  Speaker 13: The line will be denied on today.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: It will be set at some time in the future
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: by a circuit court judge. But as of now, you
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: will remain here at the detention facility.
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: You could hear a pin drop in Spartanburg County Bond Court.
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: OK, ma'am, I'm going to need you to speak up
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: so I can hear you.
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: As Taylor Gosnell faced the judge's stand.
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: Okay, you're saying two in the home?
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: Two in the home.
• 29:15
  Speaker 12: The Spartanburg County mother faces two counts of attempted murder
• 29:18
  Speaker 12: after allegedly attacking her two young children.
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: Taylor Morgan Gosnell, please come forward.
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: The Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office responded to a welfare check
• 29:28
  Speaker 12: Saturday near the 1400 block of Bud Arthur Bridge Road.
• 29:32
  Speaker 12: The call came from Gosnell's ex-boyfriend. There, deputies found both
• 29:36
  Speaker 12: children injured home alone. Deputies concerned about Gosnell's mental health
• 29:41
  Speaker 12: called an ambulance after they say she was speaking rapidly
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: in a distressed manner and said she was experiencing visions.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Ms.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Gosnell attempted to flee at one point from the ambulance,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: and so she was subsequently handcuffed to her stretcher. At
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the same time, her children were placed into protective custody
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: and were taken to Spartanburg Regional for treatment for their.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Very severe injuries.
• 30:04
  Speaker 12: Investigators say Gosnell attacked her children using a knife and
• 30:08
  Speaker 12: a blunt object. Deputies say both children remain at Spartanburg
• 30:12
  Speaker 12: Regional and are expected to recover. When deputies got to
• 30:15
  Speaker 12: the scene, they say the interior of the home was damaged,
• 30:18
  Speaker 12: including several TVs and mirrors shattered.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Do you have any questions for me, ma'am?
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: The maximum prison sentence for the total charges is 60 years.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: 60 years this mom is going to get in jail
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: because of what she's done. Right now, is this defense
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: going to work for her? This not guilty by reason
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: of mental defect, by reason of insanity? This happened in
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Spartanburg County, and this woman is accused of stabbing these
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: children some 50 times, some as deep, so deep they
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: reached the bone. The six-year-old boy suffered especially severe injuries.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Prosecutors said he could potentially lose fingers or an arm.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Both children remain hospitalized. They're stable and expected to recover.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Thank God they're alive, but one might have to have
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: his arm amputated. Deputies found the children alone. The home
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: was reportedly covered in blood. Televisions and mirrors were smashed,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: shattered glass littered throughout the home. Authorities were alerted after
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: the six-year-old called his grandmother. He reportedly told her he
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: was hungry. She arrived with this woman, Ms. Gosnell, with
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: her ex-boyfriend, and they contacted the police. The mom, Ms. Gosnell,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: returned shortly afterward. Authorities said she appeared distressed. She was taken...
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: For evaluation, prosecutors said she later tried fleeing the ambulance
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: that she was in. This woman, Ms. Gosnell, she faces
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: two attempted murder charges. She was denied bond on Sunday.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: Authorities also said she has a pending child endangerment charge
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: from 2024. So again, I'm sure somebody's going to say, oh,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: her poor hormones, you know, this is terrible. But excuse me,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: I think we've lived life for, I don't know, couple
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: of millennia, right? Or at least one by the current standard.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: And this is not how we deal with our children.
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: You don't kill your children when they do bad things.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: There was a time back in the medieval days, you
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: disowned your children. This is taking it a bridge too far, right?
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm being a little bit flip here, but
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: that's because this stuff makes me nervous. How the hell
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: do we justify this? Like, how do some people Get
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: into the comments. Thank God most of the comments in
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: the story I'm looking at are against this woman. And
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: most of the people I met were against Lindsay Clancy,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: but that's because I don't keep a large circle of
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: college-educated white women. Because if I did, they'd be the
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: first ones saying, look, I don't know. That postpartum, it's
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: a real thing. And, you know, the mental health system failed.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: All right, so the kids get to die. Because the
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: mental health system has failed this woman. She bears no responsibility.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: You see how that works? What about the 19-year-old in
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: the last one? The black girl in South LA? Is
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: she also going to have no responsibility for throwing her
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: kid wrapped in plastic in the trash? Or what about
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: this white lady, Ms. Gosnell? Because this stuff knows no race.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Who stabbed her children over 50 times and then left
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: them alone to just die. Thank God for their grandmother
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: and her ex-boyfriend. It doesn't even say he's the baby daddy.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: It just says that he's her ex-boyfriend. This is horrible.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about small children. And listen, sometimes small children
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: can be really bad. I've seen cases of that as well.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: But we've got to pay attention to this. And what
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: ends up happening in cases like this? There was a
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: case with the mom and dad disagreed with the school
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: hiding a kid's gender transition and the state went in
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: and took this kid and they said you no longer
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: have rights to your child your child we're superseding that
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: just imagine that you have a kid that's in public
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: school and you're like no no no listen little Susie
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: you're going to go to school and say you're Susie
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: you're not going to say you're Sam the school says
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: no no don't worry about it we won't tell your
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: parents you want to be Sam here you can be
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Samuel all day long it's all good you can go
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: back to being Susie when you're in front of your
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: parents In effect, this is what the school did. And
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Maureen Steele is going to join us in a little
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: bit to give us an update on that and all
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: the other egregious things that are happening in the name
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: of foster care, right? Because while I'm arguing for foster
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: care in a case like this one, in most cases,
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking kids are better off with their parents unless
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: this lady is their parent. So keep it locked right here.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: We're going to come right back. We're going to get
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: Maureen Steele to join us. And then we're going to
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: talk a little bit about this midterm election before we
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: wrap it up. And tomorrow, we're going to talk about
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: that botched execution. Oh my goodness, what a crazy story
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: that one is. So we'll talk about that one mañana.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: But coming up, Maureen Steele, and then some conversation on
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: the midterm elections. Democrats basically have Republicans losing. Might as
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: well just stay home and forget about it. I don't
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: think that's the case. Anyway, keep it locked right here.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: It's Rich Valdez.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: head of hair and podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: All right, familia, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company tonight.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: And I've got a special treat for us. Maureen Steele
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: from the America Made Foundation is with us. We're talking
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: about parents that are sounding the alarm, right? These parents
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: are sounding the alarm.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Because schools are allowing kids to change their gender identity
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: while they're in class and hiding this entire thing from parents.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: It's happening in Massachusetts and Kansas and other places as well.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Maureen Steele, welcome back.
• 36:35
  Speaker 8: Great to be here, Rich.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: So talk to me. I know that you guys are
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: have done a lot of work and on a lot
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: of cultural topics, which is why I love having a
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: conversation with you guys at the America Made Foundation. But
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: tell me more about this specific case or cases that
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: we should say of schools that are allowing kids to
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: play dress up with their identity and hide it from parents.
• 37:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, like you said, this is happening all
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: over the country. I'm always asked on shows and even
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: personally from people, like, is there any state that is
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: safe And the answer is no. I wish I could say, yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: go to Kansas. It's great there. Go to Oklahoma. Every
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: state is doing this. And we have a fundamental right
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: as parents in this country to parent our children. And
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: this is a violation of our rights. Parents have a
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: right to raise their children with their own beliefs, their
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: own religions. Transitioning like this is against so many people's religions.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: And what's particularly interesting here, Rich, is that you never,
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: not once, and I'm in touch nationally with people on
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: this issue and others involving CPS and removals like this.
• 37:45
  Speaker 8: I've never heard anyone who's a Muslim, this happening to them.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Or Jewish.
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: If you're of some sort of Christian denomination or, you know, non-denominational,
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: you lose your kids. But I just find that interesting.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: Like if this was just straight up across the board,
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: then it would be happening everywhere. To everyone, but it's not.
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: And that's just an interesting thing I've noted, actually, over
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: the last few days when I was going through some
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: of my research. So, yeah, this is happening. It's been
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: happening for years. It's really starting to come to the
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: surface now. And I think this is what happens. Things
• 38:21
  Speaker 8: start going sideways in agencies and departments, the Department of
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: Education being one of them. And, you know, it happens
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: slowly over a decade and no one starts ringing the
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: alarm bell until they've entrenched themselves so bigly that we
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: now have national stories, you know, blowing the whistle on this.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: But there's been whistleblowers on this subject since 2020. that
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: I've personally known that they've done it. Even at private schools,
• 38:54
  Speaker 8: I've heard of this happening, which most parents send their
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: kid to a private school, a private school in Montana, actually.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: And it was a private Catholic school, believe it or not,
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: in Missoula, Montana. And it was a, you know, a seventh,
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: eighth grade child. It wasn't even high school. And this,
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: you know, this little girl wanted to be called Bobby
• 39:14
  Speaker 8: and they called her Bobby. And her name was Roberta.
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: And they, you know, she wanted to be a boy.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: And they, it's a disgusting thing. And the parents were
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: the ones that were labeled, criminals. This is terrible what
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: you're doing to your daughter. And they took the little girl.
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: So this happens everywhere. It happens all the time. And
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: it absolutely is a violation because even within the law,
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: that's not abuse and that is not neglect. And so
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: for CPS to remove this child for two years, and
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: give medication and all of that, it's absolutely unlawful. And
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: they do it anyway because of our judicial system being
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: as corrupted as it is. So what I see is
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: all these corrupt organizations and agencies are all working together
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: to deprive people of accountability and deprive parents of their
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: rights and destroy the American family, which, as we both know,
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: riches the backbone of society.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: You know, Maureen, this particular, the most recent story I
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: saw was a Filipino family. And the same thing happened.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: The kid was, I think it was a daughter trying
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: to become a son. The school was aiding and abetting this.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Parents spoke out and lost their custody to the state.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: These things are, I mean, one would think this is
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: unthinkable that as a parent, you're more solemn, more high,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: more holy than a duty of a parent. I can't
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: think of one, right? Yet that's the person they're saying, no, no,
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: this is not the person that can protect you. It's
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: the government that's going to protect you. This is, in
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: my opinion, an absolute disgrace and crazy use of a
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: state's police power. Talk to me a little bit about
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: how we fight back against this type of thing as
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: a parent. I don't know too many parents that have
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: been through this, but All you got to do is
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: watch the news and see that it's happening more and more.
• 41:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, that's the thing. Again, this is a
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: question I get asked a lot. I honestly don't know.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, this agency, CPS, is so powerful. It operates
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: under the cloak of darkness. It works with the judiciary.
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: It works with family court. That's under cover of darkness
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: as well. They work with foster care. They work with
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: all these parasitic agencies that hover around CPS. You know,
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: these county mental health centers. you know, anger management, parent classes,
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: you know, all of these agencies that are, that, you know,
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: this is an $ 80 billion a year industry that we're
• 41:43
  Speaker 8: talking about right now. And it was Hillary Clinton, the
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: Adoption and Safe Families Act that really brought all of
• 41:49
  Speaker 8: this into, into what it is, into this essentially a
• 41:53
  Speaker 8: cottage industry in our country, taking children, stealing children, putting
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: them in foster homes. And that's where they do what
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: they will with these children. And so it's a very
• 42:05
  Speaker 8: difficult thing to fight. American Made is doing our best.
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: We partner a lot with the Pacific Justice Institute to
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: fight this in court. And what you find is even
• 42:17
  Speaker 8: with these amazing lawsuits, these incredibly brilliant lawyers, You try
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: to go up against the system and you have judges
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: that simply won't allow these cases in. They protect the
• 42:28
  Speaker 8: corrupt family court judges. They protect these corrupt systems. So
• 42:33
  Speaker 8: it's very difficult. And that's what we're working towards because
• 42:36
  Speaker 8: all the laws are there. They're there. In fact, in 2019,
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: you know, President Trump's Family First Act, that should have trumped,
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: pardon the pun, should have trumped, you know, the Adoption
• 42:49
  Speaker 8: and Safe Families Act. They're still operating with the Adoption
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: and Safe Families Act, just completely ignoring Trump's, you know,
• 42:55
  Speaker 8: Family First Act, saying you don't take kids from a
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: home unless it's a last resort, a last resort. Um,
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: the kid's going to die in the next 24 hours
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: or something like the kid's getting beaten. He's getting starved.
• 43:08
  Speaker 8: Like his life is in danger. Otherwise you leave that
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: child in that home. You pull in supports. Um, And
• 43:15
  Speaker 8: they don't do it. They're taking kids for frivolous things.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: And when you see a kid, we've all been teenagers.
• 43:21
  Speaker 8: We've all been junior high students. We've all been teenagers
• 43:23
  Speaker 8: where you feel gawky, you feel awkward. Most girls go
• 43:27
  Speaker 8: through a tomboy phase. I certainly did. Today, if you
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: go through that tomboy phase at schools, they sort of
• 43:33
  Speaker 8: fan the flames of that to try to get children
• 43:36
  Speaker 8: to feel that you're in the wrong body, you're unhappy
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: because you're the wrong gender. They're fanning the flames of
• 43:43
  Speaker 8: this and they're causing it. They're causing this dissonance in
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: a child. That is child abuse. That is what that is.
• 43:51
  Speaker 8: And if anyone should CPS should be going after it
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: is these teachers in these schools who are doing this
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: to these children and the judges and the police and
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: sheriffs should be on board with that. And instead we're
• 44:03
  Speaker 8: living in upside down world and it's just the opposite.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: Amigos, we're on with Maureen Steele. She's the head of
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: the America Made Foundation. And this is, again, one of
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: those things that I guess all of us, parents, patriots,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: people that support family and traditional life have to keep
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: our foot on the gas to make sure that A,
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: we're aware and B, we're taking action wherever we can
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: take action. Because I'm just, you know, I'm looking at
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: a couple of things in the last two years. It
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: happened in New York. It happened in Montana. It happened
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: in Indiana. It happened in Texas. This state intervention, when
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: parents are trying to put their foot down against a
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: school that is, like you said, causing these things to happen,
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: effectively grooming a child, this has to be stopped. And
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: it seems like things are getting worse rather than getting better.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: I want to get your thought on something not very related,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: but sort of, which is a woman named Lina Arifi.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: She was just appointed as the chief of staff, senior
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: advisor for Mayor Mamdani's administration for the deputy mayor. And
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: she was formerly the editor of Pinko Magazine, which is
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: a queer Marxist publication. And it makes you think when
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: you have people that are avowed, open, admitted gay communists,
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: and they're now serving in government in whichever capacity, whether
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: it's advising policy or creating policy, it kind of begs
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: the question, what do you think is going to happen
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: when you have someone like this at the head of
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: what's going on? Or am I wrong to think that way?
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: No, you're 100% right. I mean, we are being led
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: by people that are unwell, people that are morally bankrupt,
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: you know, and they're putting in policies, they're hiring people
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: with the same mentality that they have, the same warped
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: ideologies that they have. You know, this this isn't going
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: to end well for anybody right now. You know, we
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: need people to stand up and to go to their
• 46:09
  Speaker 8: state houses. We need them showing up at county commissioners
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: meetings and not allowing this. I mean, I think General
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: Flynn has always said this, you know, and whether you're
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: a conservative or a liberal, this affects everybody. Children are
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: being transitioned online. And it's destructive. I mean, because this
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: has been happening for so long now, we're coming out
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: on the other side of what happens when you start
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: transitioning a 15-year-old. Well, that 15-year-old is now 25, okay?
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: And they're miserable. They're committing suicide. But the mainstream media
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: doesn't put that out there. Their lives are ruined. They
• 46:43
  Speaker 8: can't have children anymore. Their voices have been changed because
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: they've been put on drugs since they were a child.
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: So this is very detrimental. And like I said earlier,
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: we all go through phases in our life where you're
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: just not happy with how you look, where, you know,
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: and especially in adolescence, it's a difficult time. Growing up
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: is hard. So, you know, we've been programmed for a
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: while and this is a long game. I mean, they've
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: been doing this for decades. poisoning mines. You know, you
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: hear the Rothschilds, you know, they created the Department of
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: Education and the education system to train factory workers. It
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: wasn't to bring us.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: Future employees.
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, to keep us, to make us critical thinkers, independent thinkers.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: There's none of that.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: They.
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: this is the end result of their plan and it's
• 47:31
  Speaker 8: working out perfectly. So when people ask me too, like,
• 47:34
  Speaker 8: you know, there's a problem, like there isn't a problem.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: This is the plan and it's working out exactly as
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: they intended. The problem is that is people like the
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: average citizen is just rolling over and allowing it to happen.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: My advice, if I had younger children right now, I would,
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: would never put them in school. that you just can't
• 47:53
  Speaker 8: put them there. Um, you know, you're at, you risk
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: getting CPS involved in your life. And once they're in
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: your life, it's very hard to get them out. Um,
• 48:01
  Speaker 8: and in this case of the, the Copco family, you know,
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: and that daughter being taken and transitioned against the parents will,
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: they weren't abusive. Um, they tried to frame the father that,
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: you know, they leveled abuse charges on him saying that
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: he was abusive. It was completely unfounded. Even with CPS
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: wanting to find something on this man, like they wanted
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: to hang their hat on that. They couldn't find anything.
• 48:22
  Speaker 8: There's no evidence of abuse, yet they've held on to
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: this child for two years. I mean, that is theft.
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: That is kidnapping. And so I don't know if you've
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: read our book, CPS Pipeline State Sanction Kidnapping, but that's
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: really what the book is about. Right now, as we're speaking, 500,000
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: children are being held captive in foster care. 500,000. And
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: of those 500,000, 1%, one were actually abused. And when
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: I say abuse, I mean, beaten, starved, locked in a cage,
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: locked in a basement, all of that. Um, otherwise they'll
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: take kids, you know, 85% of taken for neglect and
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: neglect is this very broad catch all phrase. Um, that
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: they can use for anything, like this family in particular.
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: You know, they don't want to transition their daughter. Completely
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: their right. You know, parents have the right to deny
• 49:15
  Speaker 8: medical care for their child. They absolutely do. And they
• 49:19
  Speaker 8: took the child for that when, you know, and saying
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: that that's neglectful. That is that is bad. You're being
• 49:25
  Speaker 8: bad parents for not allowing that. Um, and I think
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: waiting till a child is 18 when they're an adult
• 49:30
  Speaker 8: themselves is, is entirely reasonable. If your child is that
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: miserable and really wants to become a man, you know,
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: then you can wait till you're 18. And if you
• 49:39
  Speaker 8: want to do that, you know, Sarah or whatever, like
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: go ahead. But they're doing this on purpose and it's, it's,
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: it involves cognitive dissonance, uh, immorality for sure. Um, but
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: they're destroying families and these parents are devastated. Um, there's
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: a huge percentage, 20% of parents that get involved in
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: CPS where you're captured by CPS like that commit suicide.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 50:06
  Speaker 8: It is that hopeless. It is that, it is a
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: machine you just can't get away from. And they set
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: people up for these failures and they're in cahoots, unfortunately,
• 50:16
  Speaker 8: with schools, with, you know, police officers that really don't
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: understand the law. You know, the police will go in
• 50:22
  Speaker 8: there with CPS and remove children for what? You know,
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: because mom and dad won't let their daughter take testosterone. Like,
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: that's not a crime. In fact, the law is on
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: the parents' side. But why are the cops and sheriffs
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: in there helping CPS do this? They're criminals too. And
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: a judge for... Rubber stamping, an emergency order to take
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: a child. They're a criminal in a black robe. So,
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: but there's no accountability for any of this. And that's
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: really what American Made is trying to do along with
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: legislation state by state, but really bring that accountability piece.
• 50:54
  Speaker 8: Because if we don't have that, and that's what's happening
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: all over the country, you can do whatever you want
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: to anybody. We live in upside down world. You know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: what's good is bad. What's bad is good. And, you know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: and if you're the person that stands up and says,
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: you're the ones breaking the law, you know, you're the
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: one that's going to get punished.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: You know, Maureen, I spent a couple of years working
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: in state government. I was appointed by Governor Christie specifically
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: to the Department of Children and Families. And my role
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: was on the opposite end of that, was preventing children
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: from being taken into the system. And to their credit,
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: they really tried not to remove a kid from the home.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: But it doesn't negate the fact that the power is there.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: The power is there to take your kids, whether you
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: like it or not. if they believe that there is
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: some sort of abuse and neglect going on. And you're right.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Sometimes these situations can be arbitrary. And it was a
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: fine line for a lot of the people on the
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: front lines. And it's just that was 2011, 2012, 2013.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Here we are more than a decade and a half later.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: And to see what I used to see back then
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: and to see what's happening now, it really makes you
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: shake your head and wonder what is going on. Maureen,
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: I want you to tell everybody again where they can
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: get a copy of your book and the best way
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: to keep up to speed with all the work you're doing.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: Sure. Sure.
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: Our website, AmericanMade.org. You can also buy our book right
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: off our website. You can get our book through Barnes
• 52:21
  Speaker 8: & Noble, through Amazon. Walmart has it as well. And
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: we also have a new book coming out, and it's
• 52:28
  Speaker 8: called When the State Becomes the Trauma. And that follows
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: 30 studies that have been done. Just the very act
• 52:34
  Speaker 8: of removing a child from a parent creates a trauma.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: And years later, when they study a child's brain, it
• 52:39
  Speaker 8: looks like they were a combat veteran, like you see
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: in a study of a Vietnam veteran's head. So this
• 52:46
  Speaker 8: creates an incredible trauma for kids. And it absolutely, removing
• 52:50
  Speaker 8: a child from their primary caregivers, absolutely should be a
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: last resort. And if they're about following the science, the
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: science is absolutely there for this. We also have a
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: third book coming out in about three months, and that's
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: called CPS Pipeline State Sanction Lies. And I interview whistleblowers
• 53:09
  Speaker 8: and former CPS workers and adult foster children, and they
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: talk about the abuse that was sustained. And the actual
• 53:18
  Speaker 8: CPS workers that are whistleblowers asked to have their names
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: withheld because they were so fearful of retribution from this machine.
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: But they were taught to find like the mother having
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: a glass of wine, you know, with dinner to explode
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: that into false allegations and to hold that child as
• 53:35
  Speaker 8: long as possible, which is 15 months typically with the
• 53:38
  Speaker 8: Adoption and Safe Families Act. And you don't get the
• 53:41
  Speaker 8: same kid back that they took. That's for sure.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the damage has already been done. Maureen Steele, America
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: Made Foundation. Again, give them the website one more time.
• 53:51
  Speaker 8: Americanmade.org. Americanmadefoundation.org. My goodness, I don't even know my own website.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: Happens to me all the time with the phone number
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: for the show. Anybody want to chime in on this topic,
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: give me a call. 877-VALDES1 is the number. Maureen Steele,
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: you are a gentlewoman and a patriot. I thank you
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: for being here. Godspeed.
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: Thanks for having me on, Rich.
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: You bet. This is America. This is America. He's making
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: podcasting great again. This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: All right, familia, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez, Valdez with
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: an S, at Rich Valdez on all of the social media.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: And recently I was telling you about how the White
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: House was wall-to-wall Latinos, right? Hispanics as far as the
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: eye could see with the Hispanic Heritage Celebration at the
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: White House and the tour that the president offered the
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: group to be the first to set foot on the
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: new White House ballroom. But the left within the media,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: the Democrats, CNN, they're saying, no, no, no, Trump's losing
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: his grip with Hispanics. He's not going to have their support.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: And that may be true. Who knows, right? I don't
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: have a crystal ball. But I want to know what
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: you think. And I want to know what Harry Enten thinks.
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: Harry Enten is the chief data scientist over at And
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: he always has some interesting numbers and he breaks it
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: down like this. He says 82% of Latinos and 76%
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: of black voters support voter ID while Democrats claim that
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: voter ID is somehow inherently racist. Listen to these numbers.
• 55:48
  Speaker 14: Breakdown on this, right, because I think a lot of
• 55:50
  Speaker 14: people make the argument that people of color, nonwhite Americans
• 55:53
  Speaker 14: have a harder time procuring a photo ID to vote.
• 55:56
  Speaker 14: But even here, take a look here. Favorite photo ID
• 55:58
  Speaker 14: to vote. Eighty five percent of white people favor it.
• 56:00
  Speaker 14: 82% of Latino, 76% of black Americans favorite. So the
• 56:05
  Speaker 14: bottom line is this voter ID is not controversial in
• 56:09
  Speaker 14: this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial
• 56:12
  Speaker 14: in this country. It is not controversial by party and
• 56:15
  Speaker 14: it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of
• 56:18
  Speaker 14: Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that in fact, you should
• 56:21
  Speaker 14: have a photo ID to be able to vote.
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: Well, look at that. You should have a photo ID
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: to be able to vote. Isn't that crazy?
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: The numbers bear it out. That's CNN saying this. So
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: where does all this hysteria come from?
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: This hysteria that we see from the left. Well, from them,
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: they manufacture this hysteria. This is part of what they believe.
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: This is part of what they want you to believe.
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: They want you to think that things are much worse
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: than they actually are so that they can fool you. Right.
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: Into not voting, voting more aggressively. Trump is killing everyone.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: The reality is they rely on fake, phony fraud. And look,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: I blame the left for this because this is the
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: mother's milk of the left, the political left, the Democrats,
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: the liberals, the progressives. This is what they do. They
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: make stuff up. It's about hysteria. They will scare you
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: into submission. Now, that doesn't mean that they have the
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: exclusive on it. They have the majority, but they don't
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: have the exclusive. The people that subscribe to the QAnon
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: theory of the Q board and all that, listen, A
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: lot of people enjoy that stuff the same way they
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: enjoy Monday night football and other pastimes. I don't like
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: it because it conflates too much with the truth. And
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: they'll feed you a piece of truth with a bunch
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: of their own speculation and let you decide. Excuse me.
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: So this is what we have to fight against, right?
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: We have to be, as Reagan called on us to be,
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: informed patriots so we know exactly what's going on. So
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: when people come at us with the BS, we can say, hey,
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: miss me with that mess. I'm not falling for it.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: smarter than the average bear. And this is why I
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: try to make sure that people are listening to this
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: program and subscribing and downloading and keeping a copy as
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: close as you can of the Constitution so that you
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: know your rights, you know where you stand, and you
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: don't fall for this nonsense. I was arguing with somebody today,
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: or yesterday, privately, friend, family, that President Trump is not
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: running a secret military operation, a sting operation, in order
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: to drain the swamp. President Trump is on the record
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: from the Oval Office and elsewhere saying, look, I'm not
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: pressing any charge on Barack Obama. I got presidential immunity.
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: He's got it too. And he should be thanking me,
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: is what he said. He didn't say he wasn't going
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: to be doing what used to be legal and fair.
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: And he's not going to do it now because they're saying,
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying? This is one of those
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: things where Trump's just following the rules. And to suggest
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: that he's running this illegal military coup and they're killing
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: people And so that the quote normal or normies won't, uh,
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: overreact and start a civil war. We had a lie
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: and create body doubles and clones. I mean, this QAnon
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: stuff is bizarre and crazy all at the same time. Anyway, uh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: I bring that up to say, look, this is why
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: it's so important for you to know what's going on.
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: And no, neither side has a monopoly on sanity. I
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: would say I lean towards the right for sure. But, um,
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: The folks on the left are crazy. But that doesn't
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: mean there aren't some crazy people on the right. That's
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: really all I'm saying. Make sure you know what's going
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: on so you can stand for something. Because if you
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And the only
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: like you to sit there and do nothing. So make
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: sure you do something. Hasta la proxima. Take care. Good night.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: And God bless you, America. I'm Rich Valdez. And this
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: is America.
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: This is America. Bye.
