• 0:55
  Speaker 4: I am back. I am back, feeling pretty refreshed from
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: a few days off for spring break. And I'm also
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: going to be taking a few more days off because
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: of a conference I have to attend in Europe. That's
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: coming up in a few days. But first I want
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: to get into what a weekend it was. Lots of
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: things going on. I was on news Max a little
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: while ago on the Todd Starnes Show. We were talking
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: about this tweet that was put out by President Trump
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: coming to the defense of none other than the great One,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Mark Levin. And I'm going to get to that in
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: a moment, because I thought it was a worthy thing
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: to discuss. A matter of fact, I'll get to it now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: And I'll say this, there's a lot of talk about
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of things. Those of you who have been
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: listening to my show for a long time, you see
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: this already happening, right You've seen it happening. You've seen
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: my opposition to what is now being called the black
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: pillars or the woke Reich, as Mark Levin puts it.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I've called them what they are, populists right there, Johnny
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: come lately'es. And I don't begrudge them in any way.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, if you tell me we're going into battle,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: who am I gonna trust? I'm gonna trust a truck
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and true conservative like the great One Mark Levin. Mark's
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: positions haven't changed since I first heard him on the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: radio on a Sunday afternoon on WABC nearly twenty years ago.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: They've never changed because he stands on principle. That's what
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I like to do as well. Now, some people go
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: with what is the popular thing to think, right. Some
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: of those people may be hosts that were once on MSNBC,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: then on Fox News, and you think, how could somebody change.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Some people have nuanced opinions, some people say that the
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: party left them whatever. All I can tell you is this,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to take shots at anybody. I am
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: just saying, when it comes to me and who I'm
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: going to go into my political battles with, I'm going
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: in with somebody that I know I can trust, not
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: somebody who says, you know, I like six out of
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: ten of Trump's things, or I like four out of
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: ten of Trump's things. That's fine for you. It's his
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: job to build consensus. It's his job to get liberals
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: on board. It's his job to get conservatives on board,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: moderates on board, everybody right, progressives even, that's his job,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: and he did it. He cut into some of the
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Bernie Bros. Some of the Bernie Bros. Are very anti war,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: just like Trump is. So guess what they like him
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: when he becomes somebody that has to defend the United
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: States and take out Iran. And when I say defend
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: the United States, I'm talking about defending America's position on
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: the planet, our position of strength. Iran is drastically trying
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: to undercut the position of strength that the United States maintains.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: When they do that by sponsoring terrorism through hesbo Lah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: through many of their other proxy groups, it's our job
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: to push back, and we have right. We have for
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: forever since I was a little kid. I can't remember
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the last time that I've heard anything positive coming out
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: of Iran. I've never met in Aian that was like, oh,
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: you know, I freaking think Iran's the best. It's fantastic.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Those Malas man, what they've done with the country. I've
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: never heard that in my life. I don't even think
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: the people that support the Malas have even heard anything
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: like that, right, So I understand what it is now.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I say all of that to say there are some
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: people that feel like, Look, I like Trump, and I
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: don't like him anymore because he's That's okay, you don't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: have to vote for him again. Haha, that's a joke, right,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: You were never going to be able to vote for
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: him again. This is why he's doing what he's doing.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: He's using his political capital extraordinarily wisely in my opinion. Yeah,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: is he giving Marco Rubio, jd Vance the rest of
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: those guys a hard way to go? Sure? First of all,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: jd Vance never had that position, right, And I salute
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: him for his service to the country, right, being a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: marine and all of his service, God bless him. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I know that he by and large was always from
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: that crew, that crew of no more war crew. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: don't believe you can run this country that way. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: think you have to be able to run this country
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: by saying, look, we will get into more wars. We
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: don't want to get into more wars. Don't push our
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: hand to get into more wars. But if you're going
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: to continue your relentless pursuit for a nuclear weapon, then
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: we have to do our job as the global police. Now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I know many of you think, oh, come on, rich now,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you're a neo Khon warhawk globalist. Yes, I've always been one.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I've always believed that the United States must maintain that position.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: The minute we see that we become number two. How
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: do you not become number two? You stay number one.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: We've forever had China and Russia, and Aron is a
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: third there right, trying to get at us, to move
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: us off our global position as the leader of the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: free world, and we've maintained our position. Joe Biden seated
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: so much of that territory. Anyway, I'm not going to
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: stay on my soapbox here forever. I am going to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: say this. Look, it's a necessary thing. Any of you
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: that have a gun in your house for home protection,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: it's not there so you can keep it in a
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: lock box, never oil it, never use it. It's there
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: for one purpose, right, and I'm going to tell you
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: the purpose, whether you agree with me or not. The
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: gun is there to end life. It's not there to
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: scare people. It's not there for you to hunt, although
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: hunting involves the ending of life. It's not there for
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: you to have a false sense of security. It's there
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: for you to have the real sense of security that
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: if someone comes in to hurt you, your family, to
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: end your life, to damage your property, that you can
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: defend yourself by ending their life. This is in Hollywood.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Nobody here has the training to hit a knee cap.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: This is why the police don't train for that. Any
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: gun training you've done Center Mass right, If you're lucky,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: you get to in the body, one of the head. Anyway.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I don't mean to sound grim, but a drill is
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: to make holes. You changed a bit, it will push
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: in a screw or it'll take out a screw. That's
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: what drills do. Guns they shoot bullets for the purpose
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: of ending life. That's it, and don't make any bones
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: about it. That is the purpose. That's a tool that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: you use to keep your family, your property, and the
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: lives of people around you safe. Well, it's the same
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: way when you're the United States. We have to take
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: this responsibility seriously and we have to say, hold on
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: a second. My job here is being the biggest guy
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: on the block. I've got to make sure that these
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: people who have proven their intent by way of opening
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: their parliamentary session saying death to America, death to Israel,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: showing what they can do by funding the houthis by
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: funding has Bulock, we know exactly what they're all about.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: By funding hamas we've seen this time it again, they
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: kill people that's what they do. They kill people, in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: particular Jews and anybody else that they don't like, like Americans.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: So whether it was the two hundred Semidd troops that
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: were killed in Lebanon many years ago, or it was
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: the people on October seventh when they attacked Israel, or
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: it was anyone of a number of attacks that we've seen.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: I tink over two hundred US troops that have brain
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: damage traumatic brain injuries because of what the Houthi Rosible
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: have done. This is well documented that they will take
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: every shot they can take, and the second they have
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: such a device like a nuclear warhead, of course they're
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: coming after either Israel or US. Why wouldn't they. They're
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: doing absolutely everything they can right now to maintain relevance.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: So you don't have to tell me twice that. If
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Eran is even hinting that after the disaster in fourdoh FRDW,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: the big mountain hideout where they had their nukes, if
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: they're still continuing even running their mouths about this, then yes,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: go for it. Do not wait until the guy pulls
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: out the gun and it's in your face and you're
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: in a standoff. No, you see him reaching for the waistband.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Shoot first, ask questions later. That's how you stay alive.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: We have people that we have to protect a country.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: You have a family. The only way you stay number
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: one is making sure you're not number two. I'll be
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: right back. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Aldees.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is a Marria. He's brown, he's bald,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: and he's breaking it down.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Oh he's still has some what's his dad?
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: Rich Valdez?
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: All right, he goes, Welcome back. It's rich Valdez. Valdez
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: with an ass at. Rich valdesk on all of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: social media, and I get the opportunity to share some
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: of my favorite moments in life, you know, like my
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: going is on, not like my favorite moments of life
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: like becoming a dad and things like that. But I'm
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: talking about you know, like over the weekend, I had
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to go to the police benefit Galla for
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: an organization called Blue Lives Matter. NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: was the keynote speaker. It was great to catch up
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: with him and so many great, great people. The family
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of Detective Islam, who was the police officer that was
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: killed during a terrorist attack in the New York City
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: just some months ago. His family was honored and they
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: come to the support and aid of the families of
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: fallen police officers. And I was greatly moved by the
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: story of a little boy named Jacob. Was it Julian,
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: excuse me, Julian Galloway. His dad is a cop out
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: in Texas and made the acquaintance of some of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: NYPD guys that are involved with Blue Lives Matter, and
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: they invited him down here. The little boy ten years old.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: God rest his soul. He's not with us anymore. He
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and he was invited
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: to New York and they took him to the New
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: York State Police Barracks, to the New Jersey State Police Barracks,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: a walk through through the airport with the port authority police,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: with NYPD on the road doing a roll call with them.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, he just visited so many different police departments
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: because it was his dream to become a cop. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: just a precious child, a beautiful family. I got to
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: sit at the table mom and dad, and obviously, as
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: somebody who you know speaks as much as I do,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: you'd think I'm never at a loss for words. I
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: can tell you I had no words for them, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I told them such I said, hey, I have no words,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: but you people inspired me. You're very strong. God bless you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: A beautiful family, great kid. They've played this gorgeous video.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: And normally I don't talk about this moshie stuff because
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: you know, gets me misdy eyed. But I'll say this,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: that kid is a hero. In my book is family,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: We're heroic. And how they handled losing a ten year
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: old child when they have two other children and it
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: was just a beautiful moment. Then the wake up call
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: for me was, Man, how dare I ever ever ever
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: complain again? I don't have the moral standing to do it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: My children are healthy for the most part. I am healthy.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I could be in a bad financial situation and still
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: be in a better situation than somebody that's dying or
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: just died of brain cancer. Right. You could be in
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a lot lot of situations. You know, you might have
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: just gotten into a fender bender, gotten into you, name it,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to pout about. Point was, it put
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: life in perspective for me, and it really gave me
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: a necessary dose of gratitude that I think I always
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: need in order to maintain humbleness or humility as the
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: right word, and I wanted to share that with you.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I was probably gonna share it a little bit later,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: but now seem like the right time. By the way,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Rudy Giuliani man sharp as ever eighty I think he's
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: eighty two or he's going to be eighty two. God
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: bless him. He looked terrific. He was there doing a
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: heck of a job with his speech, and it was
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: just great to hear him. And you know, the elder Statesman,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: you've got to really take your hat off to these
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: guys because they honestly are in a position that we
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: won't be in maybe ever, And the closest will ever
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: be is when we reach that age. Right, So, Rudy
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Giuliani being I don't know, thirty five years older than me,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I think if that math is right, yeah, thirty five
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: years older than me. This is a man that's lived
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: a whole nother life and he's able to share what
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: he did in that life. And it's great because he
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: gets to juxtapose these things as United States Attorney for
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: the Southern District of New York, as what's the role
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: he had the Deputy Attorney General during the Reagan years, right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: so being in Washington, being in New York, putting away
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: the mob, taking on FARK, the Colombian terrorist organization, taking
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: on all sorts of things in his career, and it's
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: amazing to see. And the speech he gave was just
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: so great about his appreciation for law enforce enforcement, which
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: of course I also share an echo, but also about
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: the threat that the radicalization of the Islamic faith poses
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: not just to America but really to the world, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: how in the future I think people are going to
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: look back at this time, and just like we look
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: back at ending communism through the World War or through
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Reagan's work to end the Cold War, people are going
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to look back at this time where President Trump is
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: doing what he's doing, where President Trump is showing the
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: leadership that I think few people even understand. I mentioned
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: the other day and I'll mention it again briefly. My
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: friend Ruben, the Cuban you guys know him. He's the
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: one who came here from Cuba from Havana, Cuba to
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Key West, Florida on a jet ski five and a
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: half hours with a Garmin GPS. He was not the driver,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: and Rubin was and is a Trump hater, but he's
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Cuban and he loves his country. And the other day
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: he told me, he said, you know what, Richie, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: think you're right. And I said, oh about what? And
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: he said, well, you know, you said that Trump had
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: to do all these things in order to do what
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: he's doing. He said, honestly, I see it now. He
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: said he had to refill the strategic reserve when he did,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: he had to first take out Venezuela when he did,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: so that we would have access to gas, because he
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: knew that Iran would react by closing the straight up
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Hormuz and that gasces crisis would go through the roof,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: he said. And it seems like he really had a
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: very well thought out plan here and he executed it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: And absolutely he executed it. I mean, this is this
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: is to me a master class in political gamesmanship and
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: statesmanship in geopolitical strategy. People love to shortchange Trump, but
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: let me tell you, I don't know anybody else who's
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: ever taken on around like this. People have been afraid
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: for years. Why because they had people sleepers in Mexico.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: They got sleepers all over the news in Argentina right
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: now is talking about sleepers all over all over the
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: South of Maria Serican continent. So just imagine that that's
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: how pervasive their network is, because that's how the communists work.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: And make no mistake, they are at heart Marxists. They
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: believe in the revolution, so they align themselves with these people.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: The Venezuelans will be the first ones to tell you, yes,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: we have Hesbalah. They're in Argentina, they're in Venezuela, they're
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: in Colombia. Because these guys all work together. General Blaine
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Holt was on this program, I don't know, right before
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: the Iranian strike, and he shared with us that the
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: cartels are sending their people to get wartime experience to Ukraine,
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: working with the same exact mercenaries sometimes even with the
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: markings that say Ukraine on them. Mike Wagner group and
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: others that are out now in Mexico. So let it
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: come as no surprise these guys birds of a feather, right,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: they all do flock together. So Trump realizing this first
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: thing he had to do is make really good friends
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: with these people, make sure he had some allies where
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: in South America. Javier Milay, the new governor, a new
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: mayor of mayor president of Chile in Central America with
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: Naib Bukeheley in El Salvador. These steps had to be
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: taken so that Trump could do what he had to do.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Then he went and made more alliances. Right, he couldn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: make alliances per se with NATO, but he made sure
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: he got people on board shoring up what he could.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Then he took it abroad Middle East and said, look,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: the enemy of my enemy is my friend who wants
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: to be friends. We're about to choke this thing, and
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: you guys aren't going to sell any oil, but let's
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: make some deals. You help me, I help you. We're
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: going to take out Aron for good. He's been planning
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: this forever. This is true legacy making behavior for who
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe for him to hit a history book when he's
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: not around anymore, for people to pay him accolades or
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: hate on him, But who really benefits from this? I
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: do my children, do people to have another thirty or
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: forty years to live on this planet. Kudos to Trompito
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: for that. Kudos to bb Netanyaho. By the way, he's
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: not dead, right, they said, maybe he's dead. Maybe he's dead.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe he's not dead. At least from what I can see,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: he's not dead. Bibe Netanyah, who is scheduled to be
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: at a conference in Budapest, Hungary, this weekend. I think
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: it's rare that a prime minister will leave the command
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: center for a speech with one of his strongest allies
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: in Europe during a war. But as they say, this
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: war is ramping down, right, it's starting to cool off,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: taking out ninety percent of the Navy and the Air Force,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: and the surface to ground missiles of the Uranians of
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: the IRGC, as well as their entire leader, nearly their
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: entire fleet of major mind laying ships. So the straight
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: up our moves is pretty much from the reports secure,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: and estimates are that in between fourteen and sixty days
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: or so, it's going to be back in business. President
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Trump mentioning that what's really going on here is the
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: fact that these people are just scared. They were scared
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: for weeks ahead of this potential conflict that became a conflict,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: and now they don't know if there's minds there or
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: there aren't minds there. So they're a little cautious, saying,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: I don't want to move the ship. These big, you know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: billion dollar oil tankers, and I don't blame them. President
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Trump again making a very astute move politically, in my opinion,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: asking over the weekend and again on Monday, for NATO
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: partners to step it up, for NATO partners to say, hey, listen,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: we are going to help you. We have some mind
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: detection ships. We're going to send them out there, or
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: we got your back. The only one that gave any
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: type of sure, I got you. Once everything's done and
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: there's no more missiles, we'll send an aircraft Gary, which
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: was the UK Keir Starmer, who's been no friend to
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: President Trump lately. So very interesting to see how things
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: are happening. And again Trump is putting them all on notice,
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: and he's expected to make more remarks on that tomorrow.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: So as we get those, we'll bring them to you.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: But again, this that ran stuff to me. It's got
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: me tired. Now there's a report in the New York
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Post that I want to get to that I think
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: is very interesting, interesting because it's funny and it's news
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard before. Let's see here. This was published
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: seven o'clock this morning by the New York Post. Trump
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: has been briefed that Iran's new Supreme Leader, mosh Taba Khameni,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: who is the son of Ali come as they say,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: they looked at how many. I think it's a silent
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: k He's probably gay, and the President has a priceless reaction. Again,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: this is a piece. According to The New York Post,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: President Trump was stunned to learn that US intelligence is
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: now indicating the new Iranian Supreme Leader, mosh Taba Company,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: may be gay and that his father, the late Ayatola
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Onli Comedy, was knew about it and he was afraid
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: about his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic. For that
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: very reason, Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed out
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: loud when he was briefed on the intel. According to
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: sources that leaked this to The New York Post, others
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: in the room also said this is hilarious and they
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: joined the President's reaction, while one senior intelligence official saying
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: he hasn't stopped laughing about it for days. So this
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: shocking claim was described by The New York Post by
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: the intelligence officials that were there and a third person
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: who's close to the White House sharing with them. All
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: three sources say that the implausible sounding allegation is viewed
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: as credible by the US by agencies rather than false
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: information that's intended to undermine mister Kameni, who's fifty six,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: because he was not selected by his dad while his
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: dad was alive, and that if he did feel he
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: was a suitable successor, he would have picked him then.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Two of the sources say that the intelligence indicated that
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: mosh Taba, who earned his nickname the Power behind the
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Robes while serving as his dad's gatekeeper, had a long
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor. The third source
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: said that the intelligence indicated that the affair was with
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: a person who formerly worked for the comedy Hameni family.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Mosh Taba, who is believed to be wounded severely, blind
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: in a coma and missing a leg from the same
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: airstrike on February twenty eighth that killed his father and
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: other members of his family and the Mulla Cabinet, if
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: you will, has been reportedly making has made aggressive sexual
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: overtures to men that have been caring for him in
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: the past, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: So the spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: most Tava company having any alleged sexual attractions or anything
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: like that with men, But sources insisted that the tip
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: is solid, with one saying it was derived from one
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: of the most protected sources that the government has. Oh
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: if it's that protected, why do they have it? Aha
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: taste the soup. Taste the soup that is Eddie Murphy joke.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: If you've never seen the taste of soup routine and
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: coming to America, it's priceless. Anyway, the fact that this
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: was elevated at the highest level shows you that some
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: of the confidence in this is genuine. According to a
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: second source, most ta sexual orientation had been whispered about
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: in the Mullah's circle and in Iran since at least
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: the last year or two, since May of twenty twenty four,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: and then a helicopter crash that killed their president, Abraham Raisi.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Ali comedies presumed favorite was mister Raisi, who they thought
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: would be the next Supreme leader, but that didn't happen.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So anyway, the United States government saying this has been
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: a pretty closely held piece of information, and again this
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: may be one more piece in the disinformation war. Right
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: what they like to call the fog of war. But
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: it's funny nonetheless, right, it's funny because this is a
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: country where if you are gay it's punishable by death right.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: They can throw you off a roof, they can stone you,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: they can do whatever they do under their very extreme
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: sharial law. And it's just interesting to see what's going
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: on with the press right the things. And I get it.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Everybody needs a break. How many more you know? You
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: got NETANYAHUO out there pulling on his go the punch
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: cord in my pocket and he shows you you know
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: how many he had to accept to more than a
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: dozen of the top leaders in Iran that they needed
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: to take out. He's got them all x out off
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: the list. The only one that's left is the one
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: that they say is in Acoma, potentially alive. There's jokes
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: all over these memes that are making their way around
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: Twitter and everywhere else of the Ayahtola and he's made
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: out of cardboard, and they're like, no, no, it's me.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I'm alive, trust me, I'm here, you know. And then
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: they make fun of nahing Yaho's saying that he's got
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: six fingers and that it's Ai And listen, you can
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: do anything you want, say whatever you want. I very
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: much doubt I doubt it. I could be wrong, but
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I very much doubt that Netanyahu's gonna have all these
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: pre planned AI things, or even after the fact, deep
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: fake AI things to make him look like he's alive.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: For what.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: So at the end, when they win against Israel, they
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: can say, yep, he was dead, but we wanted to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: keep the charade on, to keep them. I mean, what
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: benefit is that. You know how many enemies Bbie has
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: in Israel that want to take him out, that want
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: to put him in jail if he was dead, I
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: would bet that it was probably one of those enemies, right,
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: kind of like Trump, all right, before Iran gets to Trump.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's a bunch of lefties that would like
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to take out Trump. You know, look at God forbid
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: what happened to Charlie Kirk, Right. Everybody wants to blame
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the Jews for that, the Mossad. The Mossad did everything.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: You know, I got a stomachache, blamed the Mosad, But
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: in reality, it was just another lefty with a bone
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: to pick with his panties in a bunch. Sadly, I
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: continue anyway, mosh Taba, he's Mia. He's put out a
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: couple of statements. Nobody knows where he is, and now
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: we think wherever he is, he might be in the
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: company of a male companion out of up. I thought
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: a little gossip would be funny to end this segment,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: don but that was a real report in the New
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: York Post. Anyway, I'm coming right back. There's more to
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: come straight ahead. Keep it locked right here. I am
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Rich Valdes.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: to speak with Rich Valdez.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, very good.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: The honor is all yours.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: All right, and he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez, still
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: here with you. Uh still steal, I see steal, steal,
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Stop to steal the state. I can't talk right now.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: The Save Act is up for a vote in the
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: United States Senate tomorrow Tuesday, so we'll be giving you
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: some coverage on that as we get it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Leader Thune seems to be dragging his feet. I don't
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: know why. I don't know why he's so uninterested in
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: doing this. But the reality is the Save Act, you know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: as much as Jasmine Crockett, who was recent Jasmin Crockett,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: by the way, I remember I was making fun of
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: her and about a week ago saying that she was,
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: you know, up for reelection. We'll see what happens. Well,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: you know, she lost. She's gone. I think we talked
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: about that briefly, but she's out and she's making her
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: rounds tonight on MSNBC. She's discussing, you know, the the
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: drawbacks of the Save Act and how the Save Act
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: is really nothing more than voter suppression, right, that this
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: is a bad thing. And listen, what they're gonna say
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: about the Save Act is that it's gonna prevent people
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: from voting, that it's somehow gonna stop women, it's gonna
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: stop black people, a woman who's been married, her birth
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: certificate has to match. Whatever. Understand these arguments. I might
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: even agree with some of them if they seemed genuine,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: but they don't. And the reason they don't is because
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: if you are truly making this case right that it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: going to stop people from voting, then you should have
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: been against that for everything. Right. If you're pro welfare
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: and you need, or even unemployment or even social Security,
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: any of those things, you've got to present ID. Sometimes
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: more than one ID. Shoot, anytime I need to make
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: a change for my car, I've got to bring seven
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: pieces of ID. It's a seven point system in the
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: state of New Jersey. So if you're against all these things,
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: then you should be against all these things. You should
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: say there's no reason a single mom with five mouths
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: to feed and not a man in sight to help
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: her should have to present ID so that she you
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: can get an EBT card, so that she can get
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: food stamps, so that she can get welfare or temporary
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: assistance for needy families. Taneth That is a sin and
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: that should stop right. That's the argument you should be making,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: and you should have been making that argument now if
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: you tell me. Look, ten years ago, I was saying
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: it was wrong to ask for ID for welfare, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: now I'm saying it's wrong to ask for ID to vote.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Then I will take my hat and tip it to you,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: sir or ma'am and say you are the real deal.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Whether I agree with you or not, you stand by
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: what you believe in. But you can't tell me that
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: You support ID for shoveling snow, you support ID for
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: driving a car, You support ID for just about every
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: single thing in this world, including you know, buying the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: paraphernalia you need to smoke weed, all that stuff, and
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: that somehow it's got to be okay for voting right now.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: You can turn on me, say, but voting isn't voting
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: is a rite, and smoking wheat and the rest of
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: those things are not rights. I understand that, But you
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: tell me what's more important being able to give your
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: crying baby some milk because you need food stamps or voting.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, I think voting is extraordinarily important, But
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: when it comes to feeding a child that needs to eat,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: I think that's more important. That's more emergent. And if anything,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: you know, should should be where we're lenient, it should
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: be that, right. But no, no, no, we're not lenient
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: at all. So if we're not lenient with that, we
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: shouldn't be lenient with anything. To feed a crying baby
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: with food stamps, you need ID, then guess what you
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: should need ID to vote as well? Stop being a hypocrite.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Everybody knows we need ID to do everything around here.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: So that's enough. Stop saying how it's voter suppression and
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: you're gonna get less of course you're gonna get less votes.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: The fact that the people saying we don't want to
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Save Actor coming out and saying I might consider voting
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: for it if you agree to not have ice at
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: the voting booths. Why on earth would we talk about
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: ice at the voting booth if if you're not planning
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: on having illegal aliens vote. And I think I played
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: that clip for you a couple of weeks ago. I mean,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: it's just insane to me. But Jasmine Crockett, God bless
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: her what I say, bless her heart. She was on MSNBC,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: which I think is now called ms NOW and she
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: was saying that when Texas put in their voter integrity
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: measures that Democrats lost votes. To me, it sounds like
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: this is an admission that the Save Act is something
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: that we need listen to.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: This there was a benefit to shining a light on
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: what it was that they were trying to do in
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the dark in Texas. So unfortunately we've seen our numbers
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: fall now that they have these voter restrictions in place.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: But I do think it's important for.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Us to have the conversation around the we've seen our
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: numbers fall now that they have voter integrity measures in place.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: All right, I think she said voter suppression. You've got
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: to You've got to be special, right, You've got to
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: be special. Obviously, if you have things designed to keep
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: illegality out, then guess what. It's probably working now. I
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: know some of you say, rich, you're so naive. They
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: say it's illegal. So's it's illegal for black people to vote,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: it's illegal for women to vote, it's illegal for minorities
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: to vote. No, they're just saying, and I'm saying right now,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: with the Say Act, I think it should be illegal
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: for people to vote without ID. Put it into sign
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: it now. You say, hey, look, we're gonna try and
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: implement this as quick as possible. I'm a realist. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: realize that we are eight months away or less seven
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: months and three weeks away from the midterm elections, and
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: we may, in fact not be able to implement this
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: in time. I hope we can, I really do. But
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: if we can't, you pass it now. Maybe that's part
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: of the deal to get it passed. You say, look,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: we're going to get this in and it's going to
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: take place for the twenty eight presidential election or every
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: federal election thereafter, you know, maybe even twenty twenty seven
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: for congressional elections. I'm with it. I would prefer to
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: protect the midterm election because listen, I feel like if
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: we don't protect this election now and do something that's
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: going to drastically change things, there's a good chance that
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: more of the same could happen, and you put America
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: at war, you take all of these people with their
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: with their painties in a bunch, like Jasmine Crockett, who
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: just lost her Senate bid and now in effect is
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: going to lose her seat in Congress because she was redistricted.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: These people are going to be out there in full force,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: spending whatever money they have left in their Congressional leadership
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: fund or in any packs they're associated with, and they're coming.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: They're coming for ed Trumpito, They're coming for Congress, They're
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: coming for the White House, They're coming for anything getting
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: their hands on. So, yeah, the urgency is there, but
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: I realize eight months may not be enough time to
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: do it, not when you got a leader like Thune
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: saying I can promise that we'll take a vote, but
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I can't promise that it'll pass. I mean, how special
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: are you, sir? Very special? Indeed? Anyway, I want to
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: shift gears just a little bit here, a little bit
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: here to where was I? Ah? I want to talk
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: about Cuba. So El Trumpito, don all this. Magnus the
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: forty fifth and forty seventh president of these United States,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Ed Trompito, he made a prediction many years ago saying
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: that Cuba will one day be free and he might
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: be the president. How about that? Now? I thought that
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: was pretty interesting because he made this prediction twenty six
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: years ago. I mean, how about that El Trompito clairvoyant,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Miss Cleo. So now we can add that to his list,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: just like Marco Rubio has a ton of jobs, Led
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Trampito now has a ton of jobs himself being Miss Cleo.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: If you don't know Miss Cleo, then that's I'm sorry,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: that's on you. But listen to this. I got a
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: minute or two here on this clump clump, excuse me,
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Take two with President Trump at something called La Fundacion
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Nacional Cuano Americana. This again was twenty six years ago,
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: in the two thousand. Listen to don't know this, Magnus
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: ed don Peta, thank you very much.
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: I've had a lot of offers, and sadly, it's all
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: been very recently to go into Cuba on deals, business deals,
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: real estate and other deals, and I've rejected them on
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: the basis that I will go when Cuba's free.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: As you know, and the people in this.
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: Room know better than anyone, putting money and investing money
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: in Cuba right now doesn't go to the people of Cuba.
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: It goes into the pockets.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Of cadel Casto.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: He's a murderer, he's a killer, He's a bad guy
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: in every respect.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: Casper's jails are full of dissidents, as you know very well.
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: His graveyards are full of patriots, and his government is
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: full of thoughts. And it's inconceivable to me when I
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: see the weak stance taken by our current administration.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Especially with the spirit in this room, because.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: The spirit of the Cuban people.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: Is beyond any spirit that I've seen by any people,
• 38:01
  Speaker 7: and I've been watching it for a.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Long time, and we can't allow him to get away
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: with this program of coming to this country, hiring our
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: best consultants, hiring our best lobbyists, and all of a sudden,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: senators and various other people miraculously are on the side
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of Fidel Castro. And now the battle is almost getting tougher,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and it should be a battle that would be.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: One or almost one by now.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: The point is that things can turn around, and they
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: can turn around very rapidly.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I believe that you will have victory. I believe you'll
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: have victory sooner rather.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Than later, and you will win.
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: You are going to win, and I'm going to be
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: down here and I'm going to watch you win.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know what capacity I'll be.
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: I'll either be the greatest developer in the country or
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: the greatest president that you've had for a long time.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: How about that? El Trumpito calling it right. He'll either
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: be the greatest developer or the greatest president. And guess what,
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: I think he might get both right after he's done
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: being the greatest president. And Cuba's ready for Trump Tower Havana.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be there, or Trump Baradero right
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: because I think that's where he's going to be. I
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: think he's gonna be everywhere in the world once there's peace.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: With peace comes commerce, and with commerce comes El Trompito
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: and everything and everybody else right, the iPhone, the android, bitcoin,
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: you name it. Peace. You need peace in order to
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: have all the rest of the stuff follow, my opinion, prosperity.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: So that is again El Trumpito speaking at that Cuban
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: forum in the year two thousand, twenty six years ago.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: I think that's something. Really, it really is impressive that
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: he's made these plans for quite a long time. It
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: impresses me, honestly. Go ahead, call me what you want anyway.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Uh here, I am almost an hour in his first
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: audio clip. I've played time flies when you're having fun,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: and I've got so much to talk about. Plus tomorrow
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Sat Patt's Day. We're gonna do some Saint Patty's Day
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: tomorrow as well. What else do I got here? Man,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: There's a few things I want to talk about, But
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: let me see, let me see. I want to I
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: want to pace myself. I don't want to get too crazy,
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: too all over the place. But there is a lot
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: of interesting stuff out there. Right, let's see here and
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: let me see. Give me a moment. Don't rush me,
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: don't rush me. Oh, here we go. Well, this is
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: another good clip because it gives you the juxtaposition of
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: President Trump and what he's talking about Cuba today. Right,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: This is fantastic. This is President Trump in the Oval
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Office a little bit earlier today. Short clip, just a
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: couple of seconds. Listen to this. I think that's a
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: little low. Can we get a little volume on that.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Please please me a favor? Huh, thank you? Guard ahead,
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: I think you.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: But in its own way, if you know, tourism and
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: everything else. It's a beautiful island, great weather. They're not
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: You know, they won't be asking us so money for
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: hurricanes every week. But I think Cuba c the end.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: You know, all my life I've been hearing about the
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: United States and Cuba. When will the United States do it?
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I do believe I'll be the honor of having the
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: honor of taking Cuba. That'd be good honor. That's a
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: big honor, taking Cube in some form, you know, taking Cuba.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: I mean whether I free it, take it. I think
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: I could do anything I want with it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: You want another to a very weekend nation right now?
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: They were for a long time, very violent, very violent leaders.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I think you So that's Trump again, and Trump saying
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: I could do anything I want with it. You know,
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: I think people and maybe it's me, right, it could
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: be me, But I think when Trump says these things,
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: I think I could do whatever I want if if
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: I'm telling the truth, I think what happens here is
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: what he's saying is they're in such a week in
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: state that quite frankly, they're going to be willing to
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: cut whatever deal is available. And when you are the
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: one holding all the cards, then yeah, you're gonna get
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: your way. Now, maybe I said it a little bit
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: differently than he said it, but I think that's truly
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: the intent of what he means. But Trump does have
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: a way of speaking where people hear that and they go,
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, we're going to go from one dictator
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: to another, right cause that's my buddy. Ruben hears that
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: and he'll say, oh my gosh, that guy sounds exactly
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: like Fidel. Quite frankly, if I'm telling the truth, I
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: could do whatever I want with it. Now, I'm not
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: criticizing Trump, I'd probably say the same thing. I think
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: that's kind of a New York way of saying things.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of inferences that people would make on
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: the way New Yorkers communicate that I think would be wrong.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: You know, just ask for directions. If you're ever a
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: tourist in New York, you might feel like they're yelling
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: at you, but they're actually being helpful and trying to
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: help you.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, take a left going around two blocks. Listen and
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: be pay attention. You gotta go that way, right. People
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: just don't always understand the New York isms. Anyway, that
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: is El Trompito's in all of this, Magnus anyway, straight ahead,
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get into a few other things beyond Cuba,
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: but I think it'd be great to see what happens
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: in Cuba. Marco Rubio in lots of talks. He's in
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: talks for stuff happening in Europe. He's in talks for
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: stuff with lavrov and with the folks from the Middle
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: East on what's going on with Iran. And this is
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: big stuff because we've got to make a deal here, right.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: The Russians signaling they may be providing some support helpful
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: to the Iranians, and while this is largely over, you know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit of air support, even if it's in
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: terms of satellites or anything like that could really buy
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: them some time to regroup. And one thing we know,
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: like I said before, they are adamant right when we
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: talk about the there adam and they've shown us time
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: and again what they're all about. They've shown us time
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: and again, at least my entire lifetime, that they will
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: take people and kill them while they're sleeping marine barracks
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: in Beirut. They will take people that are flying on
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: an airplane and they will hijack that airplane and keep
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: them hostage for more than a year. That happened right
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: because Carter was weak. Reagan came in. He was strong
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: to let them go immediately. Why because they knew they
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: didn't want that smoke. They knew how far to go.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: And that was the other Ayatola with a similar sounding
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: name that was Komany, not cow Many. He had the uh.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: I guess he had the hard k because I never
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: heard them calling him how many, like they call this
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: guy how many. But what do I know? You know,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: my whole life the place was called Kiev. Now all
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: of a sudden it's called Kiev. So you know, what
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: do I know? I'm lucky. I've been on a plane
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: two or three times to different parts of the world.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: I speak one or two three languages, but nothing that
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: uses cyrillic letters, nothing that uses Sanskrit. I'd love to
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: learn a language that you know is not Latin based.
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: That would be pretty cool. Right to speak Farsia or Arabic,
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: I would love that. I think that'd be cool. Or
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: even Hindi, right the Urdu, the languages in India and Pakistan.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: I think that's that's a cool thing. All right, open
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: your mind a little bit. I don't know anything about
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: it anyway, I want you to keep it locked right here.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: I am Rich Valdez. The phone numbers eight seven seven
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Valdes one, eight seven seven Valides one. If you want
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: to join us plus straight ahead. I have a I
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: don't know if it's a skit or if it's not
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: a skit of a woman. Now largely this stuff happens
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: on a ring camera. But she drops off some food,
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: like you know, like uber Eats or door Dash or
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: one of those food delivery services through an app, and
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: as soon as she puts it down, she looks at
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: her phone and she takes the food right back and leaves.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: The guy comes out and he's like, Hey, that's my food.
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: What are you doing? Is that my burrito? And she's like, oh,
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: did you're the guy that didn't leave the tip. She's like,
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: as soon as I put the order down, I click
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: it on my phone and I'm able to see the tip,
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: and you didn't put a tip. So she's like, if
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: you didn't put a tip, you don't deserve to eat.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: And they get it. That is back and forth, and again,
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's staged or not, just to
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: make you know, Internet chatter interesting topic. I want to
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: get your thoughts on that. When we return, don't go anywhere.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: I'm Rich Valdez.
• 46:36
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: All right, I'mgo's Rich Valdess. Welcome back, of course, that
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: is Valdesta with an s here liberty loving Latino. I mago.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Happy to be here with you this evening. It is
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: truly an honor and a blessing. And thanks for putting
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: up with me. Thanks for being flexible with me, by
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: the way, on my schedule lately, it's been a little
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: bit sporadic, and I do appreciate your listenership, Please make
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: sure that you are subscribed and locked in on all
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: of the networks. So if you want to watch my show.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: When we post those videos, we do post them after
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: we make them. Those are like the day after we
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: make them. Those are on Rumble exclusively. They're not on YouTube.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: We do have one on YouTube, and I think we'll
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: be adding more to YouTube, but make sure you're subscribed
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: on YouTube. But the main place right now is Rumble.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: We're trying to build our audience there. It's not easy
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: to build an audience in video. Even if you have
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: millions of radio listeners, that doesn't automatically become millions of
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: people on what I just said, video streaming. It's not
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: the same, but it is a great place to be.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Brings different types of advertisers, different honestly, a different type
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: of listener because those are watchers, right. Those are not
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: always people that want to hear what you have to say,
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: but they want to watch you say it. Different world, honestly,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: it's one that always bewilders me. I tend to lock
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: in a lot better when I throw my headphones on
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: and where I'm kind of limited from the distraction of anything.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: But the producer, and even that, it's got to be
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: a producer. I know what I like and I trust
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: because if it's a new producer or people walking in
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: and out of the control room that I could see
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: through the glass, guess what, that's also distracting. And I
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: wish I could say I was one of those professionals
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: that I could just you know, nothing phases me. No, no,
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: not really. I'm going this is my eighth year in
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: broadcasting talking on the microphone here, and yeah, it still
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: bothers me, even if you ever see me do TV
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: or even on these videos. I have one headphone on
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: instead of two, and it's in my ear the IFB
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: the small earpiece, and you probably can't even see it
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: in the videos. But having that in there doesn't give
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: you the same type of focus as having the big
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: headphones on. Right, The big head phones are kind of
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: like you know, pilots. You see pilots and you know
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: they're they're big obviously because they're in the air and
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: there's all that noise and the air noise, But same
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: type of thing. All right, You got a lot of
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: buttons in front of you, a lot of switches, a
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: lot of this, a lot of that you're locked in, right,
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: you kind of close yourself off from the world. It's
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: like my superhero Cape, if I could be so bold.
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: It's really just headphones, but in my mind superhero Cape. Anyway.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: I say all that to say, please check out the video.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: I would love it if you would subscribe. Thank you
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: for everybody I know. Our friend Al in Hawaii, mahallo
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: and Aloha al thank you for subscribing. Steve wolf Right,
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: our buddy Steve from the Carolinas. He's also locked in.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: I just saw a message from him a little while ago,
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: so big thanks to them and everybody else. I spoke
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: with Gil By the way from the Philippines. He's doing well.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: He's in good health. He says that he'll be calling
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: in and I'm looking forward to the rest of your calls.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: Probably won't get to calls right now, but I promise
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: you if you call between the hours of eight pm
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: and nine pm, you may be able to get right through.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: And if you don't leave a message, we can get
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: those messages on the air. As long as you you know,
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: you do it right, you do it well. And you
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: say I think Trump is this that the other? Because
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: of this that and the other on this and that topic.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you, you know, and there's instructions on that when
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: you call eight seven seven Valdez one, which I think
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: makes it incredibly amazing. I got to tell you, I'm
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: happy for the AI that we have that is allowing
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: us to do so many things that we couldn't do
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: in the past. In the past, if you missed the show,
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: you missed the show. Now, if you missed the show,
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: you could listen to it later in the past. And
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: that's not whole AI. A lot of it is just technology,
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: but fantastic nonetheless. Anyway, all thirty nine individuals that were
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: participants in bum rushing a church I think it was
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: called Cities Church over in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with Don Lemon
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: immediately on the scene embedded with this militia that went
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: in there and stormed this church. Guess what, All thirty
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: nine of them have been arrested, every last one of
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: them by the Civil Rights Division and they're all being prosecuted.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: I have to say kudos to Harmeat Dylan, the Deputy
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, for doing what
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: she did and going after these people. Good for her.
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: This is a good thing. Also, Antifa, the Antifa group
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: that was responsible for shooting and ambushing ICE and CBP
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: officers outside of an ICE facility in Texas, Alvarado, Texas
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: to be exact, all found guilty. I thought that was
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: fantastic news. Fantastic speaking of being found guilty, I got
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: some crazy stories that I'm gonna get to tomorrow towards
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: the end of tomorrow show, the Saint Patrick Show that
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: are about these crazy stories that of people just being
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: found guilty and just crazy things they've done. One that
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: I meant to bring to you guys, and I don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: think I did, but I wanted to, like two weeks ago.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: Another crazy story, I'll just mention it roommate. There's a
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: couple that had a roommate and they found out that
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: the roommate was poisoning them. And they did this by
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: using like nanny cams and hidden cams around the house.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: And this guy was going around spraying stuff with roach
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: spray and other types of poisons on their fruit and
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: on other things that where they would eat or touch,
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: like handles in the kitchen and stuff like that, just
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: to get these people sick and makes me think he's
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: the sick one. So if I can find that story,
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: I'll share. It's a couple of weeks old, but man interesting.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: We'll get to that as well tomorrow. But I wanted
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: to let you guys know that we will have of course,
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: you know, today's show, tomorrow's show, maybe even a show
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: on Wednesday. But Wednesday, I am scheduled to be traveling
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: in the afternoon given the DHS shutdown. That's why I'm saying,
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: maybe I may have to leave earlier, which may cut
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: into our showtime, and I may not be able to
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: be with you. But I'm traveling overseas for a conference,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: and I'll give you this scoop on that once I
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: land and I'm safe, and I'll tell you what it's
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: all about. But that is, you know, always fun taking
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: the show on the road, and I will update you,
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: you know, from abroad as I can, because sometimes he can,
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: sometimes he can. With these uncertain times that we're going through,
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: you never know what's going on and how so rather
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: than sit it out, I am gonna go, you know,
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: with my helmet on. I will keep you up to
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: speed on what's going on. But I say that to
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: say thank you, because given this new digital format, it's uh,
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: it doesn't really make as much sense to have a
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: guest host. So it's kind of like I can play
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: a rerun, I can get the guys to put something
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: like that together, but I'd prefer to just be with
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: you when I can, but I will. I'm open to
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: your thoughts on that as well. But if you don't
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: hear from me for a few days, that's why trust
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: it all as well, I believe now I want to
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: get into this. Oh my gosh, there's so many things
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: I want to get to, you know what. I'll leave
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: that for tomorrow. It's kind of juicy. But over the
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: weekend there was this protest and there were people in
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: New York City supporting hes Blah, supporting Hamas. And I
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: don't mean like, you know, tacitly, I mean like full throatedly,
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: like we are hes Bala, you know we are Hamas.
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's crazy stuff. I will play that audio
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: for you too tomorrow, just because I wouldn't do it
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: justice if I did it right now. But I do
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: want to get into this, which is this audio clip
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: of this girl, this delivery food driver and yeah, yeah,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: I said it right, and or food delivery driver. I
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: didn't say it right? Who just I don't know, walked
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: off with the food. And again, I don't know if
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: this is a skit or not. It looks, you know,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: kind of genuine, like off of ring camera. But nonetheless,
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: this is fascinating, right, even if it is a social experiment.
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: And I want to have this conversation with you guys,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: because to me, this is very interesting to say the least. Anyway,
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: let's let her rip. Let's get some volume on this
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: bad boy, go right ahead. So she put the food down,
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: she walked away, She sees the tip, She turns right
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: back around. She makes a face of disgust. She marches
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: right back up the stairs, snatches the bag and walks off.
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: Is that is that our burial?
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well it was?
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: What do you mean?
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: We just where's my tip?
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: Bro?
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: If this is your hey, what's going on?
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: I can see once I deliver the orders? What's happening?
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: And you guys, did is that our food?
• 56:25
  Speaker 6: It was?
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: We don't have to deliver? Are you serious? That's like
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: sitting you're going out to eat, like not tipping your server.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: So I'll give you the PA.
• 56:33
  Speaker 5: You give me a ten. No, you didn't cook the food.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: You can change it in the app and I can
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: cook it. We didn't order it, so you just dropped
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: it off.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: So can we have our food?
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: Blues? Are you serious?
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: I like drove and picked it up.
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: You guys didn't want to, like not even a mile away.
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: Dude, it doesn't matter then why didn't you mean that
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: you wanted me to do it, but you don't want
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: to pay me to do The app.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Pays you like twenty dollars. We pay those fees already.
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: AP pays me so little, it's ridiculous, Like can you stop?
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: And just no?
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: Are you.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: Cash is better? I'm giving you cash is not.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Now Now, she takes the food out of the bag
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: and she's holding it and there going what this this?
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: This is where I think it could be like a skit,
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: but either way, it presents a fascinating question. Let's listen
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: to the rest. All Hey, no, we're gonna okay, okay,
• 57:29
  Speaker 4: you're reported report it? She said. He's like stop and
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: she walks away and she's like, what are you gonna
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: chase me? And the balls on her. She really is
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: a tough one. And the guy's like, okay, report it,
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: report it to his buddy. She's clearly the tougher of
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: all three of these.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: People, we're gonna report.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: I have I don't care, okay delivery, then you'll get more.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: No not.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: If we report you, then your prayer is gonna be
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: over your deliver It's not my career. And again, I
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: don't be grudge anybody doing this. I think this is
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: very honorable work. I use the service all the time
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: and I do tip. But the uh, the guy says
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: your career deal where she looks at him, like my career, Like, bro,
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to make it ends meet. You know,
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: this is not a career and and she realizes she'll
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: just never deliver to them again because the Apple make
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: sure they're not paired again. Right, Very smart girl here,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: at least in terms of understanding the system. The question
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: is was it ethical? Was it right?
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: The food didn't arrive.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Half an hour late? Was a mile away? You heard that?
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: She said, I'll just say that I dropped it off
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: and it disappeared, and they're going to say they never
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: got it and that's it.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Took so long.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: And by the way, it's super rude to not tip
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: your delivery drivers in your service. I bet you're that
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: kind of guy that goes out on a day like
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: doesn't tip your service? Now she bets. They're those kind
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: of guys. This is where it gets really good. It's like,
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: is this stand up?
• 59:00
  Speaker 6: Is this?
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: Are they putting me on? What's going on here? Something
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: that's true?
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: But then they yeah, you shouldn't be.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: You can't tip your freaking driver giving food.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: They pay you enough.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is this is what you get?
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a chicken burrito. Yeah. Yeah, she's opening
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: the burrito. Are you killing She's holding it hostage. She
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: took a bite, she throws it out, and the lettuce
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: is flying. Oh my god, I love it. I think
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: this is one of the best things I've seen. I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: thought it was fantastic. Anyway, this was golden for me.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: I really enjoyed it. I really did, And I thought
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: to myself, I would love to speak with you guys
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: about this, and I honestly wish you were you know,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: had five or ten people on hold right now ready
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: to chime in on this topic. But you know, you
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: can call me later or comment online or whatever, but
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: I'll still present the interesting aspects of it from my perspective,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 4: right because I really am interested here. I think what
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 4: she did was wrong insomuch as being rude, and that's
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: it's the service industry, whatever service industry you're in. I
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 4: was a barber and I got tips, and I didn't
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: like it when I didn't get a tip. But guess what,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: I would never say, you didn't tip me, you don't
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: get a haircut. I never did that. I would never
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: dare do that because guess what. My big days in
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: the hair cutting business were Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: lot of guys like to get the haircut real fresh,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: especially the guys that had the tight fades, and that
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: was my specialty. So you know, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, what
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: did I do. I would deal with moms coming in
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: with little kids, old timers, a lot of old men
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: coming in in the morning, early in the morning. They
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: want a haircut, and they come in once a month,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: and you know, that's what keeps your Monday through Wednesday
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: filled up. And I was closed on Monday, so really
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: just Tuesday and Wednesday, and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday was
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: my thing. And I was typically off on Sundays as well,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: So I understand, right, I understand it. Also if you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: go out to eat and you don't tip that's not cool.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: I'm a tipper, But that's not the question here. The
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: question is is the waitress allowed to turn to you
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: and say, well, since you didn't tip, I'm going to
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: take a bite out of your food. Right. That's never happened, right,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: It's never happened to me, at least, So I think
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: it's pretty interesting to see the entitlement, if you will,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: of a situation like this. Now, I think some would
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: say she did the right thing. Good for her, because
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: you know, how dare you do that? And how dare
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: you stiff this girl? And listen, she looks like the
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: age of my kid. Right, My big girl is twenty
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: gonna be twenty five. This girl looks like she's twenty
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: five or twenty six years old. I get it. Everybody's
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: just trying to grind, especially if you're a delivery driver
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: or an uber driver. Anybody using a car. Gasoline was
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: cheap and now it's expensive again, right because of this
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: whole ran stuff. I get it. Insurance, buying tires, car
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: maintenance overall not cheap. You need to make good money
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: if you're using your car to make money. Understood, there's
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: overhead there. I guess what it really comes down to,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: is I'm just curious to know what people think. Are
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: people on her side or are they on the side
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: of the two bros over here that ordered one burrito
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: and I'm guessing they were broke. If they ordered one
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: burrito and they were guess they were going to split it.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, maybe they didn't have a job,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 4: or they didn't have money. But you know, I know
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: when I've ordered food through Uber Eats or through door
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: Dash or grub Hub, I can tell you that I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: feel like it's somewhere between five and nine dollars more
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: than it is if I would just go get it myself.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: So I've only done it when it makes sense or
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: it's worth the extra nine bucks for me to do that, right.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: They charge you a three dollars delivery fee, then there's
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: a percentage of it that goes to the app, plus
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: you know, whatever else they charge. I don't know. It's
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: always I normally get what I get from White Castle
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: when I go, I think it's twelve dollars, just under
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: thirteen bucks. When I order it from this thing, it's
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: like eighteen dollars. And then by the time it hits
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: my credit card, it's like twenty one dollars, you know,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: especially if you put in a few bucks for tip.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: So clearly you're paying the premium and you're hoping it
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: gets there quick and you're hoping it gets their hot
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: and it's saving you some time. Say you're ordering while
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 4: you're on a commercial break right for the show. You're
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: doing that type of thing. But my point is, should
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 4: this be allowed? Is this a thing? Is this a
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: thing that we should be allowing and really applauding, right,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 4: because you know some people that was on Twitter and
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: some of the people in the comments were really just like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: she's in the right, it's the right thing to do.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: How dare you? And I thought it was an overreaction
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: on her part. I really did. To me, that was
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: just excessive. And you know some people saying Ruth Brown says,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: this is why tipping culture needs to end. Then Hans
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: Marvel says, it's called stealing and you should report it
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: to the police. I say, she stole the food, which
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: she did. Then doctor Seuss kofif for Trump says, my
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: daughter used to be a door dash driver. The problem
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 4: is that when the order comes in, the tip is
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: already shown and then the customer, after receiving the order
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: is allowed to retur. Oh so that's an interesting factoid.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: I didn't know about it. People say, hey, here's five bucks,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: so they get their food quick and then they take
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: the tip back. That's wrong, that's disgusting that nobody should
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 4: do that. And one saying, she seems a little crazy.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 4: Why do we have to tip drivers again? And let
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: me see that this family plays what a Z says,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: I myself originally come from the hospitality industry and was
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: trained as a restaurant person in the land of gastronomy
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: in France. I worked my way up from server to
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: head waiter, all the way to the restaurant manager position
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: before I eventually changed careers. And he goes on to say,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: I think this tipping culture has completely gotten out of control.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 4: Tips are voluntary, emphasized. You already pay for the food
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: and the service. A tip is a voluntary sign of appreciation.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: If an employer doesn't pay enough, then don't work for them,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: or demand better conditions or reform. But the way things
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: are now, you're only hurting the gastronomy and restaurant industry.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: And you know, I think that's interesting because one of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: my favorite restaurants. I go to it pretty often. I
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: stopped in there today for a coffee and I got
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: it and a screen pops up this says, do you
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: want a tip? And I hit the minimal tip, just
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: because you know, on the coffee and it's a very
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: affordable coffee. It was something like eighty cents the tip,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: and I thought, all right, you know what, I'm going
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: to do it. But I thought to myself, they're always
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: good to me there, so I want them to be
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: able to split some tips at the end of the day.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: They work hard and they try to get your stuff quickly.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: But every place doesn't involve that level of service, Like
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: I went to one place where it's just a cashier.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: They don't serve anything. They don't really go out of
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: their way for anything. One girl I gave her I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: think it was a two dollars tip, and she just
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: put I'll just put answer the question, and she said,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: answer the question. I picked the middle tip just because
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: my daughter happened to have worked there when she was
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: in high school at that same place, and I always
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: have a soft spot, so I did. She saw me
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: hit it, and she didn't even say thank you, and
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: I was like, am I wrong? If I tell her, Hey,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: I just give you a tip, why don't you say
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: thank you? I did not. I just went about my
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: business and thought to myself, I might consider not giving
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: her a tip since she didn't do anything other than
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: what she was going to do anyway, which was take
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: my order, punch a few buttons. Somebody in the back
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: was going to make the burger and they were going
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: to give it to me at the counter, and I
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: was going to walk out. It wasn't like there was
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: table service involved. But I thought to myself, Yeah, maybe
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: this tipping culture is out of control. I don't know,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: but I could tell you the voting culture is out
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: of control. The radicalization of all sorts of culture is
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: out of control. And a lot of people are going
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: to be out of control in the bar scene tomorrow
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: because it's Saint Patrick's Day. So I'll leave it right
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: there for tonight. I always say, if you stand for nothing,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: you fall for anything, and astall abrosima, you take care,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: good night, and God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: and this is America.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: This is America.
