• 0:35
  Speaker 5: New York City. And 18 days from now, critical midterm elections.
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: Probably the most critical in the history of our republic. Now,
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: I know what you're thinking. You're saying, but hold on
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: a second, Rich. I hear that every single time. Every
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: time there's election, it's the most important, most critical election ever.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: that we've ever had in the truth is every subsequent
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: election likely will be every time you have another two
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: years span and you get the likes of abdul rahman
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: else i had uh... james tala rico right quotes christ
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: more than a preacher talks about lord knows how many
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: genders when this is the type of establishment candidate that
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: the democrats are now putting up you better believe that
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: we are in a jam you better believe that this
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: is the most critical election right this is pretty crazy
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: amigos we have eight fully packed show for you tonight
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: but how i want to talk about this update obviously
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: busy in the news today uh.
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: uh.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: the wonderful press secretary katie zachariah who i like a
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: lot by the way i believe she has decided to
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: move on not working in the white house anymore president
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: trump graciously giving her the opportunity to decide what's best
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: for her moving forward And I personally wish her nothing
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: but the absolute best. I thought she was fantastic. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: think I did a segment with her once on Newsmax,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: and she was very professional, and I thought she was terrific.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: And I want to look at the circus, of course,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: that's going on, not just in Washington, but in New York. Right?
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: My beloved home state of New York. I live in
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Jersey now, but I was born in Brooklyn and work
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: in New York. And I got to tell you, what
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: a crap show, right? I mean, there's always some sort
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: of drama going on. Right now, New York Attorney General
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Letitia James, right after President Trump, he called her a
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: dog the other day. Good for him, right? He's been
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: calling her all sorts of names. And guess what? The
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: New York State Bar agreed. It's a massive bar complaint
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: that effectively has forced her to recuse herself and retreat
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: from this case. I was going to say Central Park 5.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, take two. From the Cornell 7. And I
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: think that's a good thing. Because this is a woman
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: that is inherently political. She just had her whole campaign
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: was totally mopped.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: She got mopped. She got dragged. They cleaned the floor
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: with her. Who am I talking about? Saritha. Right. Saritha,
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: the candidate running for attorney general in New York. What
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: an outstanding candidate. Just mopped the floor with Tish James.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: So we're going to see how that goes. Because I
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: think it's probably still too early to see any bump
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that may have occurred in that election for Bruce Blakeman
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: and all those down-ballot races there. But very, very interested
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: in seeing what's going on. Lee Zeldin got within, what,
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: 5 points? Or 5%, whatever it was. I think we're
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: going to be in that range again and hopefully closing
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: that gap. Bruce Blakeman making massive gains against Kathy Hochul.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: People are thinking that there might be a a red wave,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: others saying a blue surge. I think it's just Americans
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: are waking up, and they're realizing that, you know, thanks
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: to the failed leadership of Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: people in New York are getting really, really tired of
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: what's going on. So 18 days from today, we face,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: I'm going to call it a monumental choice, a monumental
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: choice to envision the America that we want. And I've
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: been on this program before, Sharing about what kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: America we want. What type of America are we going
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: to have? Are we going to see the likes of
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: James Tallarico? Or Abdul Rahman Syed? Right? He seems to
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: be always angry at somebody. He's always, you know, shrugging
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: something off. He's always mad. He's always mad. I don't
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: know why. If it's because of the beliefs that we
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: hold or... He's trying to... in my opinion, fundamentally dismantle
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: what we know America to be. But what America are
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: we going to have 18 days from today? Will it
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: be the America that we know today or a radically
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: far left America? One that we haven't even had a
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: chance to envision yet, but the one that the left
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: has been envisioning, right? The one with, I don't know, 21, 30,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: 40 members of the Supreme Court. Okay, they might start
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: at 12. To be the one where every state now
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: has an abortion law, where You can abort the baby
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: after the ninth month, kind of like Lindsay Clancy and
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: the likes of all of her followers now. I don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: know what we call them, right? The Clancyites. It seems
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: like every day there's a new story about a mom
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: that's killed her child. Sickening.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Now, why? Why?
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Because they're godless. But I can get into that a
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: little bit later. Because the issues are becoming more granular.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: They're hitting closer to home. Our families are growing. Our
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: little kids have become big kids. Our big kids are
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: having their own kids. The future matters in a way
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: that it's never mattered before. And look, the economy is
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: critically important. Nobody wants to overspend on steak. Nobody gets
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: excited when they get cleaned out at the gas pump.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Nobody wants that. But now more than ever, right? Everybody
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: has to kind of step up and say, look, are
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: we going to give this country away to the communists?
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: And somebody says, oh, this Valdes, he comes on here
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: with his communist propaganda, Red Scare. No, no, this isn't
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Red Scare. This is the real deal. We can't let
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: some cheap political talking points get in the way of
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: our actual freedom, our actual liberty. It's time for us
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: to remind all of America what true leadership looks like, right?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: And I recently read this piece. It was a list
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: of accomplishments that President Trump achieved in this second term.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: And when you look at what President Trump has done
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: in less than two years since returning to office, right,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: after the freak show that he went through with his
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: own legal battle because of the lawfare that they waged
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: on him, January 2025, right? And let me tell you,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: absolutely mind-boggling the amount of things that have come out
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: of this administration. Sometimes we forget just how much he's
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: gotten accomplished because the media tends to bury it. So
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I want to review these things. I'm not going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: take too much time, but I want to hit a
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: few things. These are actual second-term receipts. Border security. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: think this is the number one reason, I should say,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: that people have voted for President Trump. Obviously, he reinstated
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: very aggressive enforcement to secure the southern border. Outstanding. He's
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: been out there doing rally after rally after rally. You
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: find me another 80-year-old. that's out there doing rallies like
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: El Trumpito, Donald S. Magnus, the 45th and 47th president
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: of these United States, El Presidente. I challenge you, you're
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: not going to find him. And fill in those stadiums.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Fill in those arenas.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Because people believe in America and they know that he's
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: sold out for America. And he's willing to do what
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: he's got to do to get the results he's got
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: to get. It's not easy reversing mass migration. You're talking
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: about not only cutting things at the border, but getting
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: people to stop just coming in Negative net migration for
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: the first time is the lowest it's been in 50 years.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: He passed the Lake and Riley Act, signed and enforced
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: strict detention mandates for illegal aliens. This is what many
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: of us voted for, right? And people said, but Valdez,
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: how could you say that? You're a Latino, you're a Hispanic,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: you're Puerto Rican. Listen, Latinos, Hispanics, Puerto Ricans, whites, blacks, Chinese,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: everybody likes law and order. Nobody wants to see their
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: kids get raped. The Dominican cop who got stabbed ten
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: times in New York City by two Dominican gang members
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: who stuck him up, he didn't care about any of
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: these things, that they were Dominican. He cares that they're
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: arrested and that they're stopped. Somehow, the media has really
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: done a number on people's minds. When you think that
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: just because someone looks like you, sounds like you, might
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: have the same... ancestral meals as you that somehow i
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: should let you rob me i should let you snatch
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: the chain off my neck and think that's okay i
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: should let you stab me it was first reported seven
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: it was actually today in court or yesterday in court
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: they showed it was 10 times that he was stabbed
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: that's absolute insanity absolutely crazy so good for el trompito
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: for doing what he's doing on the immigration front now
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: we talk about the economy people are crying listen I'm
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: crying too, right? There's a lot of people out there
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: that are crying. I don't like paying more for gas.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: I realize that when gas goes up, guess what? Everything
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: goes up. Nobody says, oh, look, you know, we're paying
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: more for gas. So let me not charge you more
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: for that steak at the restaurant. Let me not charge
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: you more for the pancakes when you come for breakfast.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Let me not charge you more for that cup of coffee. No,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: they're passing that along. And the question becomes, do I
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: take this approach where I say we have to rid
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: iran of a nuclear weapon and look at the bigger
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: picture and the long-term goals or do i just say
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: no no that's it no no i need that $ 1. 99
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: gas i need that $ 2. 50 gas at 350 whatever it
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: is i need that and forget about the iranians forget
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: about the persians forget about global security, and really forget
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: about the positioning of this country as the superpower that
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: That's not who America has been historically, and it's not
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: who America should be today. And I think most of
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: us realize that. Most of us know that. If you
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: ever read a book and you understand history, you realize that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: But there are some people out there that are incredibly short-sighted.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: They don't know enough about things. They get all their
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: information from Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram. And that's okay. That's where
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: information's gotten these days. But you've got to get the
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: whole story. And it can't just be an emotional one.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: People are making way too many decisions from an emotional standpoint.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: And I'm talking about everybody, right? Not just Democrats, not
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: just Gen Z, not just... I'm talking about everybody. I mean,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I've never in my life met so many people older
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: than me. I'm 48. I've never met so many people
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: older than me that are totally sold out for Trump.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Let him break the rules. Kill them all. Let God
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: sort them out. I mean, come on. We got to
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: stick with the Constitution here, right? And I mean, I
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: got another 20 some odd examples of where Trump is
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: killing the game right here. I'm not going to go
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: through all of them right now in this segment because
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: it'd be too many to list. But we'll get through
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: them throughout the show. But this is a serious list.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: And this is exactly what happens when you have a
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: president who loves this country and fights for the forgotten
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: men and women of America, right? The people who people overlook,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: the people that make things go around. The guy that
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: rotates your tires when you get your oil changed. Those
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: people that we just all too often forget. Those people vote.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Those people make this country go round. The truckers that
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: deliver our meals. These people are in America. The cop
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: that's walking on the street when he's off duty in
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: New York City and he's getting stabbed 10 times. These
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: people are the people that we call 911 and they
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: show up. Nobody showed up for him because he wasn't
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: able to call 911 because he was too busy getting stabbed.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: And thank God he made it out of that. This
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: is real life. And if for a second, anybody's thinking
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: that this is the America you want, then please kick
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: your feet up, turn the radio up, lock in for
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: the next three hours, because I'm going to walk you
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: down a little memory lane. We're going to remember all
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: of the great things the Democrats did. We're going to
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: talk about how great that Biden administration was. We're going
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: to look at all these wonderful things and how still
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: in all with, $ 3. 90 or $ 3. 99 or whatever gas was
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: today when I looked at it, we're still a dollar
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: cheaper than it was at the worst point in the
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Biden administration. Right? Some people are out there talking about,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: how am I going to heat my home? I can't
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: afford the oil. It's funny, you were affording it just
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: fine during Biden. I think we can all afford to
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: keep it real right here, to do the right thing,
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: to stand up for an America that doesn't go radically
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: to the left, an America... That we can be proud
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: to call our own an America where our children can
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: raise their children and those kids can raise their kids.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: That's what we're all here for. And that's what we're
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: doing tonight. So keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and he's breaking it down.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, he's so handsome. What's his name?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Rich Valdez.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: All right, familia, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez and Congresswoman
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Ilhan Omar. You might remember her famously saying, Some people
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: did something. Right? Remember her?
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: I'll never forget that. That was her response to 9-11
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: when she said, Some people did something. Well, anyway, now
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: she's singing a different tune. She's still laughing. She's still defiant.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: You guys may know that, and Jimmy from Brooklyn knows
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: this more than anybody, because Jimmy from Brooklyn knows who
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: my brother is. My brother, who lives in Brooklyn and
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: also rides the F chain every day, he bumped into
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: Jimmy and they met each other. But my brother is
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: a subscriber to The Plan, The Storm, Q, Anon, all
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: that crazy stuff, right? And then he tells me, look,
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: It's a shame you don't know what's going on, Richie.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I'm in the know here and you're clueless. All right,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: no problem. Last week when I was invited to the
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: White House and next month when I'm going to Mar-a-Lago,
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: I will let the president know that I'm clueless on
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: this stuff. But I say that to say, not to brag, right?
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I say that because I see things a different way.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: I don't always buy into it. It doesn't mean I
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: reject all of it, right? There's some of that stuff that,
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: you know, with every good crazy story, there's bits of truth.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: But he tells me, that Ilhan Omar is 100% going
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: to jail. She's getting deported. And I say, look, I'm
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: not completely sold on that yet. Because he said, yeah,
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: then why is she on the run? I said, on
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: the run? He said, yeah, nobody knows where she is.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I said, nobody knows where she is. It's funny because
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Nicholas Balassi, and we saw this on Fox News as well,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: he bumped into Ilhan Omar. And here's what she had
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: to say. I was wondering if.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: You had a response to the DHS secretary and... Tom Homan,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: saying that you allegedly violated immigration.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Law and that you're under criminal investigation. Well, why don't
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: you follow up with them and ask them what is
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: the information that they have and how long does the
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: investigations take?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I was wondering if they've reached out to you at
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: all formally, sent you any letters to tell you you're
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: under investigation.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: No.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Not at all?
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: No.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: And what's your response to their allegations?
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: Saying that, I mean, you're familiar with them.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: The right wing has always had this shit going, so
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I don't really worry about it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: You have a good day.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: Does that sound like somebody that's on the run to you?
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Does that sound like somebody running scared, petrified, paranoid? Oh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: my goodness. You know, I've always taken exception when my friends,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: my colleagues, my brethren here on the conservative right side,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: when we say, oh, the Democrats are running scared. Those
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: people don't know how to run scared. They invented how
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: to how to break every single rule. And she's fully
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: expecting to walk away from this. Now, will it be
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: extraordinarily rich if if she gets to, you know, get
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: perp walked in and tried for her crimes? Yeah, possibly
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: it would be great. But the reality of it is
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: it's very unlikely to happen. I don't know if you
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Think I'm wrong? Change my mind, please. Give me a call.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: 877-381-3811.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: We're going to talk about Ilhan Omar coming up, plus
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: lots more to discuss. The press secretary. What do you
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: think about me for press secretary?
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Huh?
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I'll be right back. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: All right, familia, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: This is America.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: For the great one, Mark Levin, 877-381-381. Para Inglés, oprimal
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: número dos. We're live and national. Para Rich Valdez. And
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Mark will be back with you on Monday.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Esto es America.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: By the way, I am at Rich Valdez with an
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: S on all of the social media. If you want
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: to follow me there or check out my show, it's
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: called Rich Valdez. This is America. And I'd love it
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: if you would subscribe and check me out and give
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: it a listen. But I want to pick up where
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: we left off. And we left off talking about nobody
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: is above the law, right?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Remember her?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Some people did something. Ilhan Omar, congresswoman from Minnesota. Now,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: congresswoman Omar was approached this week by Lindell TV. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: they have some very intrepid journalists there. Cara Castronova amongst them.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: But this was not Cara Castronova. another intrepid journalist that
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: is always in her face and doing a great job
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: of it, and asked her, hey, did you marry your brother?
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: And here's what she had to say.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Hi, Congresswoman.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Tom Homan said that you're under criminal investigation for immigration
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: and marriage fraud. Any comment on that?
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: No, I don't have a comment for that.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: No?
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Well, you always say no one's above the law.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: So do you think you should be above the law?
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: I am not above the law.
• 19:34
  Speaker 9: Well, if there's some marriage fraud, can you just tell
• 19:37
  Speaker 9: us straight up, did you marry your brother?
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: Absolutely not. What a ridiculous thing to ask. Did you
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: marry your brother?
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. That's disgusting.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Nobody should be doing that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Why are you being criminally investigated?
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I am not.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, you are.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: He's been saying some crazy bleep, just like you.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: Again, doesn't sound like she's scared.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Doesn't sound like she's on the run.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Now, I'm going to ask you to put your thinking
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: caps on. You know, not your tinfoil hat. Not that
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: one yet. We'll do that one a little later. But
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: put your thinking caps on and think about the last
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: time that you saw a congressperson ripped out of Congress
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: in handcuffs and arrested and removed from up. Yeah, me either.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I remember a guy. I'm going to say God rest
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: his soul because he's not around anymore. I debated on
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Newsmax once. congresswoman season congressmen barney frank right now i
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: remember that he was arrested or his roommate was arrested
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: and they broke up a prostitution ring male prostitutes uh...
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: because his romantic was his boyfriend and they were running
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: male prostitutes out of their dc apartment he was a
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: congressman this was reported widely in the new york times
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: and other you know legacy publications as Arrests occur in
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: the home of congressmen, right? Nothing about the prostitution ring
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: that was going on there and whatnot. This is how
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: this system works, right? You've heard the people say it's
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: the left wing, the right wing, or two wings of
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the same bird. And there's some truth to that, right?
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: This is not some overwhelming majority of people that are
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: looking to do what, congresswoman luna is doing right every
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: time i see um anna paulina luna every single time
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: i see her she's trying to do something to reform
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: congress to make it harder for them to self-deal to
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: make it harder for them to become independently wealthy to
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: make it more fair for we the people i can't
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: think of 10 congress people that are fighting as hard
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: as she is so Let's not make any aspersions amongst
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: ourselves that somehow that's the case. It's not. So typically,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: when you have people that say, let's stop this insider
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: trading in Congress, they say, no, no, no, I'm not
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: stopping anything because too many people lose out. Survival of
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: the fittest. I get it. And in much the same way,
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: You know, you might see people saying, hey, we think
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: so-and-so should be censured, or so-and-so should be recommended for expulsion,
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: or we should have an ethics investigation, and a stinging,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: scalding hot ethics violations report at the end of it,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: where if it's bad enough, they'll say, you know what,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: I've decided I'm going to spend more time with my family,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: I'm going to move on and pursue other endeavors, and
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: they resign from Congress. But nobody's getting locked up and
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: nobody's getting deported. Now, I know it's not what you
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: want to hear. And I'm hoping, I'm really hoping that
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: I'm dead wrong. I'm hoping the great one Mark Levin
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: gets on the radio and says, well, you know, some
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: of my friends have a different opinion than me. And
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: they're wrong. They're dead wrong. And I'm going to tell
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: you why she can get deported. And I hope so.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: But the way I look at it, when you look
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: at these statutes of limitations and you look at, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: things that can likely be explained away as a... clerical
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: error in the filing of papers and whatnot.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I'm not sold yet. You know, if you got something
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: that I don't have and you want to try and
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: sell me, feel free. Give me a call. 877-381-3811. But
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: I'm not sold yet. You know why? Because I was
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: sold on 8647 on Jim Comey. And I said, yeah,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: you know what? That sounds right. Sounds like he's taking
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: cheap shots. And I was sold on the mortgage fraud.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: of Letitia James, and the mortgage fraud of one of
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: the folks at the Fed, one of the Fed governors.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: And it's like one after the other. They just take
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: turns going, hey, you got me? Yeah, I got you.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Don't worry about it. Yeah, yeah. Wink, wink, and a nod, nod.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Next thing you know, oh, this didn't work out in court. Oh,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: these charges didn't stick. Oh, we found out we couldn't
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: do that. And listen, I'm not rooting for the bad guys.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying. If you've got short arms and your
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: opponent's six feet away from you, don't waste your swing.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: You're not going to connect the shot. Now, I think
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: there is value, right, in what President Trump is doing.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: I think this is a political masterstroke of genius. While
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is nothing more than a foil in
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: many ways and a punching bag for President Trump when
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: he's doing his rallies, there's a unique special quality she has.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: She is from Minnesota. the feeding our future scam. That's
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: a real scam. Those are things that really happen. So
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: when you put all of that together and you say, okay,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: hold on a second. I can personify that to the
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: likes of a woman that many people already don't like
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: because of her own anti-American biases. This is a no-brainer.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Of course we're going to put her out there. And
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: if there's any truth to these things, these allegations... we're
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: gonna put him out there now you just heard her
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: say it's disgusting to marry your brother who would do
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: that did you marry your brother that's what she responded
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: to the reporter i don't know i want to know
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: what you think about this eight seven seven three eight
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: one thirty eight eleven if anybody's home and that's friday
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: when people are going out to happy hour into dinner
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: i'm really curious to know to do i got it
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: twisted here or and by the one that's wrong because
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: last i checked you know how more is unpopular not
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: because of her marriage to her brother or anything like that,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: but more so because she spent the majority of her
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: career taking every last shot at America that she could take.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I want you to listen to this clip we have.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: It's a flashback montage of Ilhan Omar truly being ashamed
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: of America. Those of us who escaped places like that,
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the one place where we thought we would never experience this.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It's the U.S. states.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I am ashamed.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: And we must do everything that we can to bring
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: back the America we all escaped into. They took a
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: terrorism class. Every time the professor said al-Qaeda, he sort of, like,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: his shoulders went up.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in command here.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: Al-Qaeda, you know, hospital.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: You don't say America with an intensity. You don't say
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: the army with an intensity.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: There is a lot of hate in this country for Muslims.
• 27:04
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of hate in this country for black people,
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: especially black women.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: CARE was founded after 9-11. Oh, here we go.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Because they recognized that some people did something.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Some people did something? That's what put her on the
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: map for being one of America's most hated congresspeople. Had
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with her brother. Back then, people didn't
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: even know. What people didn't like was this. Some people
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: didn't do something or some people did something. Minimizing 9-11.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Saying that he says Al-Qaeda with disdain. He doesn't say
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: America with a disdain. Am I supposed to say America
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: with disdain? If I'm talking about despots of the world
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: and evil terrorist organizations, should I Praise them the same
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: way I would praise happy, nice things? Puppies, unicorns? Come on.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: This is absolutely ridiculous. But El Trompito, doing a one-on-one
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: with Rob Finnerty, great interview, by the way, on Newsmax,
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: and he says Ilhan Omar is Cooked. I'll ask you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: About Ilhan Omar while we're talking about Minnesota. There's a
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: chance that she will be indicted, and if that happens,
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: she could face jail time or deportation. If it comes
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: to that, would you do anything to stop it?
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Well, I think she's a crooked person, but I'm not involved.
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: That's a DOJ. Look, we have a great attorney, General
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Todd Blanch. That's going to be up to them. I'm
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: not involved in that. I see it on your show.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: I see it on the news. I read about it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: I think she's a very corrupt person. I think she
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: hates our country. She is a person that truly hates
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: our country. She comes from one of the worst countries
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: in the world. Absolutely. They have no government. They have
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: no military.
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: They have no police.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Listen, he's not holding anything back, right? President Trump. I've
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: always said he's like the talk radio president. He says
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: what we're all thinking. And I think that's fantastic, right,
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: that he's able to connect with people that way. The
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: real question is, are we going to get somewhere, right?
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: I believe that Hillary Clinton was guilty of all sorts
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: of things with Benghazi. I believe that Barack Obama is
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: guilty of a bunch of things. Even President Trump agrees
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: with that. But he also agrees and he says that
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: President Obama has presidential immunity. He also says that it
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: would be a shame to lock up the former first lady, right,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: because he's a gentleman. So if we apply that same
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: standard to a sitting congresswoman, and I don't know if
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: we do or we don't, I'm not saying can it happen.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: My question is really, will it happen?
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Because nobody stopped to think if it was going to
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: happen when it was a sitting president.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: When they were sending the Secret Service over to Rikers
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Island to see if they could outfit a special section
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: to house President Trump on Rikers Island. How do I
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: know that? One of the guards told me. I saw
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: him at an event. He said, yo, can you believe
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: the Secret Service was here today? That's outrageous to me.
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: Absolutely outrageous. Outrageous to think that they use lawfare to
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: the degree that they did to try and put President
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Trump in jail for 400 years. So, no, I'm not
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: saying I don't think Ilhan Omar doesn't deserve to have
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: the book thrown at her if she's guilty of the
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: crimes that she's being investigated for. I'm saying I just
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: don't know that our system has the integrity in it
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: to produce that result. Your calls and more are coming up.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: It's Rich Valdez.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: head of hair in podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: All right, Familia, we are back. Rich Valdez, we're going
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: to get to your calls right now. Let us go
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: to Bill. Bill is calling us from Palm Springs, California.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Go right ahead, sir.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, Rich.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Hey, Rich.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Listen, two quick points, and that is, number one.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: If Ilhan Omar, first of all, we know she committed crimes.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: We know her family committed federal crimes, and she will
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: be indicted.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: But here's the point.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, Rich, if she goes to prison, if
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: she's convicted or goes to prison. What matters is that
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: Congress can expel her if she's indicted. And that's the
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: important thing. I don't care whether she remains in the country.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I don't want her in Congress. If she's out of Congress,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: that's the end game, to get her out of Congress,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: because she is a federal criminal. And that's a fact.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: When all the documents are released, when all the evidence
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: is made public, it'll be verified that her family committed
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: immigration fraud and that she lied on her tax returns
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: and that she committed financial fraud as well. So she
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: will be and she will absolutely be expelled from Congress.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: But here's the other secondary point. And I want my
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Democratic friends out there to listen. If the Democrats take
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: over both houses of government, the House and the Senate,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: and they win in 2028, there will be Medicare for all.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: And let me tell you what that means, Rich. Medicare
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: for all means Medicare for none. If there are 350
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: million Americans plus another 30 million illegals, that's 380 million people,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: forget about keeping your doctor, right? You won't even be
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: able to keep an appointment. You won't even be able
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: to make an appointment. There's going to be 380 million
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: people trying to get to your doctor, to your hospital,
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: to your clinic. You will never get a surgery. You're
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: going to wait months and months and months just to
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: make an appointment. So I want the Democrats out there
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: to vote in their self-interest and understand that if you're
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: a senior on Medicare, forget about it. If you're working
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: for a company and you have private insurance, you will never.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: You think you have good insurance, you Democrats out there?
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Good luck.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: When there's no listen that that is a struggle and
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: listen all solid points from your lips to god's ears
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: i hope that's the case i've never put too much uh...
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: confidence into congress expelling anybody but you're right it can
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: happen and that's what i was talking about before uh...
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: is the best case scenario her resigning because i'm likely
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: thinking that she i mean she may because people on
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: the left tend to want the theatrics so yeah go
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: ahead and expel me so i could you know uh...
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: use that as a launch pad she may just say
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: she's walking away let's see what happens My hope is
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: that you're right. Thank you for your call, Bill. I
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: appreciate it. Let's go to Carl. Carl is in York, Pennsylvania. Carl,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: go for it. You're on with Rich Valdez.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Hey, man.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: It's nice to talk to you. I just want to
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: say something here real quick. You know, I'm 53 years old,
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: and my family was diehard Democrat. And then when the
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Clintons came along, and then we seen him with the
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Epstein files and all that, we switched to Republican. And,
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: you know, I want to say something to the Democrats.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: I am friends with a lot of Democrats, and we
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: see eye to eye on many different issues. But there
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: is one issue that I cannot sit still with, and
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: that's abortion. And, you know, my Democratic, this state, okay,
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: it's a swing state. It could go either way. Okay,
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: and Josh Shapiro, he's a nice guy. But there is
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: things that he does that I don't, I can't sit
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: with the abortion thing. Because killing babies nine months, Nine months.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: That means they got a heart, they got arms, they
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: got legs, they got head. I mean, they're like me,
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: but they're an infant.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: It's murder.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: And different things that... You know, it was going on
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: in the Democratic Party. Now they're letting the Muslim in. And, hey,
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: you know what?
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: They're not now letting them in. The Muslims have always
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: been allowed in. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, I'm a Christian. I try to
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: be a Christian every day of my life. I fall
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: short of God's grace every day. But, you know, these
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Muslims that are coming in, they're going to attack America
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: slowly but surely.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I hear that, brother. Thanks for your call. Carl
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: in York, Pennsylvania. Sounds like a lot of very frustrated
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: Americans out there that want to see a red wave.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Let's see what happens, folks. I'm coming back for another
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: hour and another one after that. God willing. Keep it
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: locked right here. It's Rich Valdez.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: This is America.
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: Hey, familia, we're almost back. I just wanted to thank
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: you for tuning in and let you know there's more
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: to come straight ahead. So keep it locked right here.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: This is America. He's making podcasting great again. This is
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: America with Rich Valdez.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: All right, familia, welcome back. Rich Valdez, Valdez with an S,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: at Rich Valdez on all of the social media. Happy
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: to be here with you. And I've got more excerpts
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: from my fill-in on Friday, hosting the Levin Show. That's
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: coming up to you in the next episode. Make sure
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: you lock in for that. Plus, check out the website richvaldez.com
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: for anything that you need to check out about me.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: You want to know where I am, what's going on?
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: It's all in the show. It's all available. I think
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: there's 500 episodes on there that you can listen to
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: absolutely free. The videos are a different story. Those are
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: the ones you need to subscribe to. And just because
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: they cost me more to produce, so you know how
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: that goes. But anyway, I want to, before I bid
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: you adieu here and welcome you back in the next one,
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: We're going to continue our discussion on Ilhan Omar and
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: all the craziness that's going on as we are just
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: about two weeks away from Election Day. But I always
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: like to finish these things with a thought. And the
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: thought I'm getting is don't miss the forest through the trees, right?
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: Don't get so caught up in the Ilhan Omar going
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: to jail, getting perp walked, this, that, and the third,
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: that you miss the bigger picture. And the bigger picture
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: is the America that we love, the America that we
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: want to leave to our children and to our children's children.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Because ultimately, that's what we've got. That's really all there is.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: All we can offer them is some money, a little inheritance,
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: some property, maybe make their lives a little easier, which
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: in effect might make their lives more difficult, right? Because
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: think about every self-made man out there. It was their poverty.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: It was their struggle. It was their hustle that made
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: them industrious and gave them the grit to succeed. When
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: people are given everything on a platter, they don't have
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: that level of critical thinking of grit. And not all, right?
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure you can build it in somehow.
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: But my point is, there's always a patriarch somewhere that
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: had to hustle and toil. There's always a matriarch somewhere
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: that knows all the old wives' tales, because she's lived
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: them all, to pass that wisdom down to her granddaughters
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: and whatnot. So I say that to say, look, whichever
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: stage of life you're in, whether you're the baby with
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: the silver spoon in your mouth or the guy that's
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: out there swinging that hammer to leave your family legacy one, two,
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: three generations later, keep doing what you're doing and don't
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: lose the forest or the trees, right? Don't bury the lead.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: It's not about locking people up and deporting people. This
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: country has been around for 250 years. We've dealt with
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: literal Satanists, right? The Wiccans, the Salem witches, they put
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: them on trial. We've had a lot of people. We
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: had Japanese internment camps. We've been through a lot, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: I'm sure we're going to go through a lot more.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: But one thing is for sure, we always get through it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: That's why I always say you've got to stand for something,
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: because if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: And the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: for good people like you to sit there and do nothing.
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: So make sure you stand up. And know your stuff.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Hasta la proxima. Take care. Good night. And God bless you, America.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: I'm Rich Valdez. And this is America.
• 39:19
