Speaker 6: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdes Valdez with the
0:29
Speaker 6: nast had Rich Valdest on all of the social media.
0:31
Speaker 6: Welcome to the Tuesday night edition of our program. If
0:34
Speaker 6: you want to give me a call, then join our
0:36
Speaker 6: late night national town hall conversation and give me a call.
0:40
Speaker 6: Eight seven seven Valdest one, eight seven seven Valdest number one,
0:45
Speaker 6: and again, pleasure to be with you, guys. I'm happy
0:48
Speaker 6: to be back. We've been all around the world lately,
0:52
Speaker 6: right doing interviews overseas, doing interviews in Texas. I attended Seapac, Texas,
0:57
Speaker 6: where I was one of the speakers on on the
1:00
Speaker 6: main stage on Friday morning, and that was an honor.
1:03
Speaker 6: A big shout out to the entire American Conservative Union
1:07
Speaker 6: Board for creating that opportunity, and I want to give
1:14
Speaker 6: you some of the highlights of that because there was
1:15
Speaker 6: a lot of people that were at Sea Pac Texas.
1:19
Speaker 6: And let me tell you, I considered, like I said,
1:22
Speaker 6: not going just because I was coming back from Seapac Hungary.
1:25
Speaker 6: It was kind of neck and neck. They changed the
1:28
Speaker 6: date of Seapac Hungary, which is usually at a different
1:32
Speaker 6: time of the year, you know, about a month out,
1:35
Speaker 6: and they did that because there is a big re
1:38
Speaker 6: election for Prime Minister Victor Orbon so it conflicted with
1:43
Speaker 6: the later date as well for seapack in Texas. Typically
1:49
Speaker 6: Sea Pack is around President's Day week and scheduling was
1:54
Speaker 6: off anyway, Needless to say, I was home for about
1:57
Speaker 6: a whole day before heading back out on the road.
1:59
Speaker 6: And this was a great seapack actually one of the
2:03
Speaker 6: one of my favorites, and not just because I was
2:06
Speaker 6: a speaker, but lots of great backstage networking, right, lots
2:11
Speaker 6: of people there. There was I mean, talking about the
2:13
Speaker 6: Crown Prince they call him right raised that paulave just
2:19
Speaker 6: packed the house with his supporters. I mean, there was
2:22
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm joking, but I'm gonna say there might
2:25
Speaker 6: have been more Iranian flags with the lion on it
2:27
Speaker 6: than American flags. That's how much support from the Iranians
2:31
Speaker 6: there was at this seapack. Just a tremendous amount of people.
2:35
Speaker 6: I met two young ladies that had their eyes shot
2:38
Speaker 6: out by the IRGC. Just incredible stories, incredible people that
2:45
Speaker 6: I met. I would say half of President Trump's cabinet
2:48
Speaker 6: was there. Just a lot a lot of people, a
2:52
Speaker 6: lot of old friends that I bumped into, new friends
2:55
Speaker 6: that were made. Shout out to my buddy Larry O'Connor
2:58
Speaker 6: from w M A, L and d C. And Kurt Schlichter,
3:02
Speaker 6: full Colonel Schlichter. I accidentally at breakfast called h Lieutenant
3:06
Speaker 6: colonel and that was my bad, and he was gracious
3:11
Speaker 6: about it, but I do apologize. And so many great people.
3:14
Speaker 6: Ambassador Rick Grennell and didn't really get to meet him,
3:17
Speaker 6: but he was kind enough to let me sit at
3:19
Speaker 6: his table for one of the meal breaks. So just
3:22
Speaker 6: a lot of people, a lot of great networking. I'm
3:24
Speaker 6: really just excited about all of that and some of
3:30
Speaker 6: the speeches. Right. Nick Shirley was there. Nick Shirley is
3:33
Speaker 6: the intrepid young video journalist that always has a hoodie
3:38
Speaker 6: on and is asking the questions that many in the
3:40
Speaker 6: mainstream won't ask. Nick Shirley was there and guess what,
3:45
Speaker 6: he had a lot to say about fraud in Minnesota.
3:48
Speaker 6: We're gonna get to a clip of his speech. We're
3:50
Speaker 6: gonna get to a clip of the speech that raised
3:52
Speaker 6: a Paulavi gave and brought the house down for sure.
3:56
Speaker 6: We're also going to get into my panel sit down,
4:00
Speaker 6: a fireside chat to be precise, with Ambassador Mark Wallace,
4:04
Speaker 6: who was nominated by President Bush way back when and
4:08
Speaker 6: served as United States Ambassador to the UN. He's now
4:11
Speaker 6: the CEO of United Against a Nuclear Iran and he
4:16
Speaker 6: was there with his lovely wife and his team from
4:22
Speaker 6: u A and I and it was really a pleasure
4:25
Speaker 6: to speak with the guy. And I'll play the entirety
4:27
Speaker 6: of that interview maybe in the upcoming segment, But what
4:31
Speaker 6: I want to do now is really just talk about
4:35
Speaker 6: the theme, right, because the theme of Seapack overall was
4:41
Speaker 6: typically is one that embodies the American the American situation
4:52
Speaker 6: I'm going to go with right, whether it's combating censorship
4:59
Speaker 6: on free speech or or you know, the crossing the
5:03
Speaker 6: lines and boundaries that government did during COVID. Right, seatback
5:06
Speaker 6: is always at the forefront of that and in this
5:09
Speaker 6: case it's no different. And the seatback theme this year
5:12
Speaker 6: action over words and it was important.
5:15
Speaker 7: Right.
5:15
Speaker 6: They were talking about unity within the Republican Party, within
5:18
Speaker 6: the Conservative movement, putting a lot of emphasis on inner
5:22
Speaker 6: party unity ahead of the twenty twenty six midterms, which
5:25
Speaker 6: is a big deal right now because we have to
5:28
Speaker 6: kind of come together to defeat the socialists, Marxists and
5:31
Speaker 6: crazy lefties that are out there. And also talking about
5:36
Speaker 6: the foreign policy perspective of the nation and of the
5:39
Speaker 6: movement with respect to the war in Iran. Right, A
5:43
Speaker 6: lot of debate occurring and ongoing with this issue. America. First,
5:49
Speaker 6: some people are divided on whether they support, you know,
5:53
Speaker 6: the liberation of Iran and America's intervention in that issue
5:58
Speaker 6: in that part of the world. And I get it.
6:01
Speaker 6: Listen it to me. It's a simple idea, right, and
6:04
Speaker 6: by simple, I mean it both ways a double entendre a,
6:07
Speaker 6: not complicated and be naive. It's a simple idea to
6:14
Speaker 6: simply say America shouldn't be involved in other people's business.
6:17
Speaker 6: I mean it sounds nice, It sounds like you can
6:19
Speaker 6: jump on your high horse and walk away. But as
6:21
Speaker 6: you've heard me time and time again say on this program,
6:24
Speaker 6: I don't believe in that. I don't believe that you
6:26
Speaker 6: should walk down the street. If you're somebody that can
6:28
Speaker 6: best bench press two hundred pounds, you should not look
6:33
Speaker 6: at an old lady getting robbed and say, look, that's
6:35
Speaker 6: none of my business. That's not my mother, it's not
6:37
Speaker 6: my grandmother, it's not my neighbor. I'm not getting involved. No,
6:41
Speaker 6: you are able to defend yourself. You need to go
6:43
Speaker 6: defend that old lady, right, And in many ways that's
6:46
Speaker 6: how I feel about this. Just imagine a regime, the malas,
6:52
Speaker 6: the Iyatola. Iatola is in this case forty seven years
6:57
Speaker 6: tormenting America, shouting death to America, shouting death to Israel.
7:03
Speaker 6: And some of you're thinking, I don't care if they
7:05
Speaker 6: shout death to Israel. The reason they shout death to
7:07
Speaker 6: Israel is because they say they're the little Satan. They
7:10
Speaker 6: we're the big Satan. And that really just confirms my
7:12
Speaker 6: thought that our biggest watchdog in the Middle East, our
7:15
Speaker 6: biggest ally, our closest friend, is Israel. When we need
7:18
Speaker 6: something done, some dirty work, we don't have to go
7:21
Speaker 6: and do it. We've got Israel, They've got the IDF
7:24
Speaker 6: and probably one of the best intelligence agencies ever, the
7:28
Speaker 6: most sad, right, you know, the one that gets blamed
7:30
Speaker 6: for everybody and everything that happens. So I, for one,
7:33
Speaker 6: I'm grateful that we have this cooperation, that we have
7:36
Speaker 6: this ability to harness the strength of the Masad and
7:39
Speaker 6: the IDF, and that they're willing and ready and able
7:43
Speaker 6: to carry out tasks that nobody else in that area
7:47
Speaker 6: of the world will do. Now, of course, President Trump
7:50
Speaker 6: is now making strong allies with Saudi Arabia and UAE
7:55
Speaker 6: and Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar, and that's great. These
7:58
Speaker 6: are all great things, but that wasn't always the case.
8:01
Speaker 6: So I think it's important that we framed the conversation
8:05
Speaker 6: the right way. And you know, me just giving my
8:08
Speaker 6: two cents here. I have volunteered to serve this country
8:12
Speaker 6: and they didn't want me. To be frank with you,
8:15
Speaker 6: they didn't. I didn't. I was one hundred and sixty
8:18
Speaker 6: five pounds and actually I was one hundred and eighty
8:21
Speaker 6: five pounds and they told me I had to be
8:23
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty five pounds and That was the
8:25
Speaker 6: lightest I'd ever been. What else they told me. The
8:29
Speaker 6: first time they told me, I was in my twenties,
8:32
Speaker 6: and they said, do you have dependents that are under
8:34
Speaker 6: the age of five? And I did, and they said,
8:36
Speaker 6: we're not doing that. I never heard that rule, but
8:39
Speaker 6: that was what the recruiter told me. And that was
8:42
Speaker 6: the first time. The second time they told me about
8:44
Speaker 6: you know, I don't think you're going to make weight
8:46
Speaker 6: and let me see. There was a third time. I
8:49
Speaker 6: was very close to that thirty nine year old cutoff,
8:51
Speaker 6: and I was looking to get it any way I could,
8:53
Speaker 6: because I wanted to serve. My brother had served in
8:55
Speaker 6: the Marine Corps. Had always wanted to serve, and the
8:58
Speaker 6: only route in was to have a not only just
9:04
Speaker 6: a career and experience in communications, but they wanted a
9:08
Speaker 6: graduate degree in communications to come in as an officer,
9:11
Speaker 6: where you could then work on what they called public affairs,
9:17
Speaker 6: and I wanted to work in a different area. I
9:21
Speaker 6: wasn't being picky and choosey. I just didn't meet the grade.
9:24
Speaker 6: I couldn't provide, you know, a background, a graduate degree
9:29
Speaker 6: in communication, something I don't have so and something if
9:33
Speaker 6: I really wanted it badly. I would have had to
9:34
Speaker 6: go to school, and by the time I'd finished school,
9:36
Speaker 6: I would be too old to go. So those are
9:39
Speaker 6: the challenges that I met in trying to serve. And again,
9:44
Speaker 6: I don't think I was fat when I applied, but
9:47
Speaker 6: you know I had been fat before that and borderline diabetic.
9:51
Speaker 6: And because of that, they said, if you ever had
9:54
Speaker 6: issues with that, we're not doing I mean, it was
9:56
Speaker 6: very strict. It was pretty clear, we don't want your
10:00
Speaker 6: chubby bud, right I when you use that euphemism, but
10:05
Speaker 6: people always say, well, well, why don't you serve? Well,
10:07
Speaker 6: I would have gladly, and I would today. And again,
10:10
Speaker 6: I'm one hundred and ninety pounds now. I think I'm
10:12
Speaker 6: in pretty decent shape for a forty seven year old guy.
10:15
Speaker 6: But and you throw me in boot camp. I'm pretty
10:16
Speaker 6: sure I can hang. But that's not an option, right
10:20
Speaker 6: It's only an option if I want to serve an ice,
10:22
Speaker 6: and I don't know if I want to do that
10:24
Speaker 6: right now. The point I'm making is people say, why
10:26
Speaker 6: don't you serve? Why don't you give your kids? If
10:29
Speaker 6: my kids told me tomorrow they wanted to serve in
10:31
Speaker 6: the military, I would give them a big hug and
10:32
Speaker 6: say God bless you. It's an honor. It's an honor
10:35
Speaker 6: and a privilege. I think to serve this country, I
10:38
Speaker 6: think it's good for you. It's good for the country,
10:40
Speaker 6: it's good for the people, it's good for the next generation.
10:43
Speaker 6: Anybody who signs up for the military knows that not
10:47
Speaker 6: you know, obvious, it's obvious, right, and it goes without
10:49
Speaker 6: saying that you might lose your own life. But the
10:53
Speaker 6: fine print is you may lose a limb, you may
10:56
Speaker 6: lose your peace, you may lose your sanity, you may
11:00
Speaker 6: come back unwell, PTSD, all sorts of things. People know
11:04
Speaker 6: that it's widely published, and people that are courageous enough
11:09
Speaker 6: to volunteer for that service, I say God bless them,
11:12
Speaker 6: God speed to them. And I would allow my kids
11:15
Speaker 6: to do that. It's true that I have two daughters
11:17
Speaker 6: and under the current rules they wouldn't be on the
11:20
Speaker 6: front lines, but that doesn't mean they'd be out of
11:22
Speaker 6: harms way entirely. My point is, I think you've got
11:25
Speaker 6: to let people do what they want to do. And
11:28
Speaker 6: I'm not going to sit here and say not my kid,
11:30
Speaker 6: not my kid for your war. No, no, no, Now listen,
11:33
Speaker 6: take my kid, take me, Take whomever wants to voluntarily serve,
11:37
Speaker 6: because that's what they're doing. They're putting their life on
11:39
Speaker 6: the line. They're giving their life for service. It's very
11:43
Speaker 6: similar to and I'm getting off the deep end here,
11:45
Speaker 6: but I want to make a point. It's very similar
11:47
Speaker 6: to people say, oh, you donate a percentage of your
11:50
Speaker 6: salary to church, Well, how do you know they're not
11:52
Speaker 6: ripping you off? That's not my concern that I'm being
11:56
Speaker 6: ripped off. My concern is to give. What what happens
12:00
Speaker 6: with the money is God's concern. And I look at
12:04
Speaker 6: this very similarly. I'm not here to judge the outcome.
12:07
Speaker 6: If my purpose is to serve, I have served, that's it.
12:12
Speaker 6: If my purpose is to give, then I have given,
12:15
Speaker 6: I will give, and that's it. I'm not here to
12:18
Speaker 6: determine what you do with the money I give. I'm
12:20
Speaker 6: not here to do to judge what you're doing with
12:23
Speaker 6: my service. That's the whole point of being a soldier
12:25
Speaker 6: and following orders is you don't get to make those calls.
12:28
Speaker 6: You just are here to do so do and I
12:33
Speaker 6: salute our military for that reason. Anyway, I just wanted
12:36
Speaker 6: to make that point anyway, Seapac was a vibe in Texas.
12:39
Speaker 6: I will periodically go back in and out of some
12:42
Speaker 6: of those speeches, and I'll give you my sit down
12:45
Speaker 6: with the ambassador regarding what it looks like if Iron
12:51
Speaker 6: does get a nuke, and what the off ramp for
12:54
Speaker 6: this war looks like. That's coming up in a moment.
12:56
Speaker 6: Excuse me, and thank you again for putting up in
12:59
Speaker 6: my voice. It's getting a little bit better, right, We're
13:00
Speaker 6: almost back, but I'm not quite back to doing my trump.
13:04
Speaker 6: It's still a little bit horse. I don't have oh
13:07
Speaker 6: my vocal range, right, I don't know that I could
13:11
Speaker 6: do my eringobrag if I could do my top. See,
13:13
Speaker 6: it's not coming out right. I kind of sound more
13:16
Speaker 6: like I'm a Scottish man from Bangladesh than I le Bracon.
13:23
Speaker 6: So I'll keep working on that with the tea and
13:25
Speaker 6: the honey. But a couple of things that are going
13:26
Speaker 6: on this week. Big Supreme Court stuff coming out every
13:29
Speaker 6: single day, different oral arguments on several cases. One of
13:33
Speaker 6: the biggest cases out there is the case regarding the
13:39
Speaker 6: outcome of the dread Scott decision right the birthright citizenship
13:42
Speaker 6: Fourteenth Amendment case, and that is before the court. And again,
13:45
Speaker 6: this isn't a question of right versus wrong. This is
13:48
Speaker 6: a question of constitutionality, and it's going to be interesting.
13:53
Speaker 6: I always believe that the Court will punt whenever they
13:56
Speaker 6: can on big issues like this, just like they did
13:58
Speaker 6: with Dhaka. They decided to go in there because they
14:02
Speaker 6: don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. That's just the truth.
14:05
Speaker 6: And they know that if they say this is unlawful,
14:11
Speaker 6: then it was unlawful before. And certain things you can't
14:15
Speaker 6: change the past, right, Like let's say you say Roe
14:19
Speaker 6: versus Wade was bad law. Therefore every last abortion conducted
14:24
Speaker 6: over the last fifty years is null and void. You
14:26
Speaker 6: can't do that because they're done already. But if you
14:29
Speaker 6: do that with citizenship in effect, you likely could do that,
14:35
Speaker 6: and they won't do that. They're not going to sit
14:37
Speaker 6: here and say, yeah, so for the last you know,
14:39
Speaker 6: X amount of years that we've allowed this to go on,
14:42
Speaker 6: we are going to rescind that citizenship. It's not gonna that.
14:45
Speaker 6: It's not gonna happen. I don't see the mechanism for it.
14:48
Speaker 6: I don't see anybody approving the cost associated with that
14:51
Speaker 6: I don't see it, not in h not in the faintest. However,
14:54
Speaker 6: I would love to be proven wrong. I would have
14:56
Speaker 6: loved for you guys to fill up my inbox and
14:59
Speaker 6: call the show a seven to seven vollowed this one
15:01
Speaker 6: and let me know rich you were so hopelessly wrong.
15:05
Speaker 6: They sided with President Trump on this, and they said
15:08
Speaker 6: that every last person that came here by way of
15:11
Speaker 6: the fourteenth Amendment, that quote unquote loophole exception, is now
15:15
Speaker 6: going to be deported. Hey, do you want to live
15:18
Speaker 6: in that utopia? Go right ahead, Please bring me with
15:21
Speaker 6: you if it becomes a reality. But it's not that
15:24
Speaker 6: I don't want it to happen, is that I don't
15:25
Speaker 6: believe it can happen. So I think that's kind of
15:29
Speaker 6: where we are. I think if those things were to happen,
15:31
Speaker 6: it would likely be moving forward. Right, Oh yeah, take
15:36
Speaker 6: a look at this. That was wrong, all right, so
15:37
Speaker 6: moving forward, we're not going to do that anymore. But again,
15:40
Speaker 6: just using the DACA example, which is probably the closest
15:42
Speaker 6: one I could think of, I think they're going to say, nope,
15:46
Speaker 6: this is likely going to have to go back to Congress,
15:48
Speaker 6: make a law, make a law. If you don't like
15:49
Speaker 6: the way this law looks, make a law fixed the
15:51
Speaker 6: law again. My thoughts, I don't see John Roberts having
15:55
Speaker 6: the leadership to tackle this. I hope I am wrong,
15:58
Speaker 6: and I hope that John Sour who's got a raspier
16:03
Speaker 6: voice than I do. Right now, the Solicitor General, I
16:08
Speaker 6: hope that he's able to make a convincing argument. And
16:11
Speaker 6: we'll have our legal analyst for this program on the
16:15
Speaker 6: show tomorrow to discuss that. Doug Burns, one of my favorites,
16:20
Speaker 6: former chief of the Criminal Division, will be joining us.
16:22
Speaker 6: So anyway, that being said, we've got this divide right
16:28
Speaker 6: with Americans who believe that we should not have a military. Right.
16:34
Speaker 6: In fact, they think we should be Switzerland. Right, we
16:38
Speaker 6: should only have a military if we are attacked, but
16:42
Speaker 6: there should never be any attacking. Right. If that were
16:46
Speaker 6: the case, maybe we don't need so many airplanes. There's
16:49
Speaker 6: probably a whole lot of things we don't need, like
16:52
Speaker 6: military bases abroad, right, because the purpose of the military
16:57
Speaker 6: is not to, you know, to run America's foreign policy
17:03
Speaker 6: and be the military for it, but just to protect
17:07
Speaker 6: us when we're attacked. Come on, how would we ever,
17:11
Speaker 6: who leads like that by reacting, nobody Nobody leads. By reacting.
17:17
Speaker 6: By definition, you're following somebody else is leading, and you're
17:20
Speaker 6: responding to their lead. They throw a punch at you,
17:23
Speaker 6: you block it or throw a CounterPunch. You're always always
17:27
Speaker 6: going to be defending yourself if you're not playing offense.
17:31
Speaker 6: That's just a given. So clearly that's flawed way of thinking. Right. Well,
17:36
Speaker 6: the United States can't solely have a military for defense,
17:42
Speaker 6: right And I'm glad they changed it from the Department
17:44
Speaker 6: of Defense to the Department of War because I think
17:48
Speaker 6: it's appropriate. There are things that had to be done
17:51
Speaker 6: here and they're being done. So kudos to el Trumpito
17:58
Speaker 6: on this. Now, nothing else I wanted to get into
18:02
Speaker 6: was fraud. Right. We got fraud all over the place,
18:06
Speaker 6: and I think Elon Musk did an amazing job explaining
18:09
Speaker 6: and exposing how much fraud was out there. And this
18:14
Speaker 6: fraud truly is remarkable. I think people have been defrauding
18:18
Speaker 6: the United States government in so many ways from so
18:21
Speaker 6: many angles, whether it's the welfare queens that Reagan talked
18:25
Speaker 6: about to now modern day corporations and people coming from
18:30
Speaker 6: other countries to exploit certain loopholes where they are now
18:34
Speaker 6: creating entire networks of defrauding people. And that was something
18:42
Speaker 6: that Nick Shirley spoke about in his speech at seat back.
18:46
Speaker 6: So I'm going to take a pause right here. We're
18:47
Speaker 6: going to come right back here that Nick Shirley talk
18:50
Speaker 6: a little bit about fraud. Or maybe we'll go to
18:52
Speaker 6: my clip with the ambassador and then we'll go to
18:55
Speaker 6: the Nick Shirley piece on fraud in the third segment.
18:58
Speaker 6: Either way, keeping on your toes right and keep it
19:01
Speaker 6: locked right here, because I am Rich val Des and
19:03
Speaker 6: we're coming right back. Don't go anywhere.
19:05
Speaker 2: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
19:20
Speaker 2: and he's breaking it down.
19:21
Speaker 6: Oh he's still hadsome.
19:23
Speaker 2: What's his name, Rich Veldez.
19:36
Speaker 4: Good morning and welcome to sea Pack two thy twenty
19:41
Speaker 4: six actions over words, Ladies and gentlemen, This is no
19:48
Speaker 4: Nukes for Jihad of fireside chat with CEO of United
19:53
Speaker 4: Against Nuclear Iran Ambassador Mark Wallace and host of This
19:58
Speaker 4: America with Rich Rich Valdez.
20:13
Speaker 5: I'm basingor.
20:16
Speaker 7: Good morning, seapack man. So we were in the green room.
20:20
Speaker 5: We were talking about a lot of things about nuclear Iran,
20:23
Speaker 5: ending the nuclear threat in Iran, and it came up
20:26
Speaker 5: a battle of bad dad jokes.
20:29
Speaker 3: I'm scared.
20:31
Speaker 5: He's good and if there's time at the end, we
20:33
Speaker 5: might get into it. But I'm going to start this
20:35
Speaker 5: by saying in shout out to match Lap. I was
20:37
Speaker 5: talking to match Lap at Sea Pac Hungary just a
20:39
Speaker 5: few days ago, and we were talking with some of
20:42
Speaker 5: the folks that were attending from different parts of Europe,
20:44
Speaker 5: and there was a disparate opinion on how big the
20:48
Speaker 5: threat is of a nuclear Iran. So I'm saying, oh,
20:52
Speaker 5: they had no threats. That's the United States. They want
20:54
Speaker 5: to get into forever wars. Others saying no, no, no,
20:57
Speaker 5: you have to go after this. This is a radical
20:59
Speaker 5: threat and it must be ended. Ambassador Mark Wallace, talk
21:02
Speaker 5: to me. You not only served as an ambassador, but
21:05
Speaker 5: your current role with UA and I talk to us
21:08
Speaker 5: on where you come down on this issue.
21:11
Speaker 8: Look, I think we had to put the issue squarely
21:14
Speaker 8: on the table. The forever war that has dominated the world,
21:19
Speaker 8: dominated the American economy, caused countless casualties of Americans, caused
21:25
Speaker 8: a risk premium in your wallet and pocketbook because of
21:28
Speaker 8: controlling the straits of for news. All loads roads lead
21:31
Speaker 8: to Tehran. So there has been a forever war in
21:34
Speaker 8: the Middle East because the Iranians their mantra is death
21:38
Speaker 8: to America, death to Israel, death to Saudi Arabia. President
21:42
Speaker 8: Trump said and did something different every president, and I've
21:47
Speaker 8: worked with every one of them, and I've had to
21:49
Speaker 8: work with some of the democratic ones that I've not
21:50
Speaker 8: agreed with. Every president has kicked the can of this
21:54
Speaker 8: problem down the road as has gotten more and more
21:57
Speaker 8: dangerous and costly to Americans.
21:59
Speaker 3: Forty seven years.
22:01
Speaker 8: Americans have been dying, and our allies have been dying
22:04
Speaker 8: at the hand of Iran and its proxies. And for
22:06
Speaker 8: forty seven years, you all have been paying countless more
22:10
Speaker 8: dollars when you fill up your tank of gas because
22:13
Speaker 8: of the major terror state in the world controls the
22:16
Speaker 8: strait up for moves. The president saw two things. He
22:20
Speaker 8: saw Iran developing advanced bailistic missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, building
22:25
Speaker 8: a massive blistic missile program, still pursuing a nuclear program
22:29
Speaker 8: with a thousand pounds of enriched missile material, and an
22:33
Speaker 8: already weakened leadership. And he matched that threat with opportunity
22:38
Speaker 8: and he said, I'm going to end this forever war.
22:40
Speaker 8: He said, no more, I'm not going to kick a
22:41
Speaker 8: can down the road. And our incredible military, frankly, that
22:45
Speaker 8: has gotten so strong.
22:47
Speaker 3: That's right. Our incredible military.
22:51
Speaker 8: Are that military that has been honed over twenty five years,
22:58
Speaker 8: has performed so brave in an admirable manner, an admirable manner,
23:03
Speaker 8: and they are our heroes.
23:05
Speaker 3: And he is ending that forever war. So I talk
23:08
Speaker 3: to a lot of you.
23:09
Speaker 8: I've been attending setbacks, I think when I first started
23:13
Speaker 8: twenty years ago, twenty five years ago. Do not believe
23:16
Speaker 8: the headlines that we are somehow losing this war. Iran
23:21
Speaker 8: is getting the best of us, or that we are
23:23
Speaker 8: in a forever war. That was not who President Trump is.
23:27
Speaker 8: I've worked for presidents like that that have engaged in
23:30
Speaker 8: decisions that have ended in wars that have gone on
23:32
Speaker 8: for too long. That's not what this president's doing. That's
23:36
Speaker 8: not what this conflict is. Do not believe the headlines. Please,
23:41
Speaker 8: let's cheer our troops and celebrate the successes, and celebrate
23:47
Speaker 8: Uranian women and men and who are here in this
23:50
Speaker 8: audience that want to be free of the greatest terrorst
23:55
Speaker 8: state in the world. This is an incredible moment where
23:59
Speaker 8: the president says, I'm not going to be conventional. I'm
24:01
Speaker 8: going to do it different. I won't kick the can
24:03
Speaker 8: down the road. And remember kick the can down the
24:07
Speaker 8: road was the official policy of multiple presidents stated on
24:11
Speaker 8: North Korea, and look at where North Korea is now
24:14
Speaker 8: a nuclear weapon he said, we will not allow around
24:18
Speaker 8: to get there.
24:20
Speaker 5: And basstor Mark Wallace, you mentioned something about disinformation and
24:24
Speaker 5: how disinformation is permeating the airwaves, and as President President
24:29
Speaker 5: Trump would say.
24:30
Speaker 7: Because of the fake news, the fake news in the back.
24:32
Speaker 7: But I think it's more than the fake news.
24:34
Speaker 5: I think they're actively trying to disinform and using propaganda
24:38
Speaker 5: to make this a cultural divide in America, to try
24:42
Speaker 5: and divide those that were against the nuclearon to get
24:47
Speaker 5: them in different disparate factions. Talk to us about the
24:50
Speaker 5: role that disinformation is playing at this current time.
24:54
Speaker 8: I did a television show, a big one, the other day,
24:57
Speaker 8: and the host is a friend of mine. He pulls
24:59
Speaker 8: me into the green, pulls up his computer, and you go,
25:01
Speaker 8: look at these headlines. World war breaking across the world,
25:06
Speaker 8: America facing defeat in Iran, and he goes mark, I've
25:10
Speaker 8: never seen the fake news, and this was a friendly
25:12
Speaker 8: place mostly, and I said, it's also a little bit
25:15
Speaker 8: in this network where he goes, I know, it's as
25:18
Speaker 8: if we can't get past the real news because we
25:22
Speaker 8: do things in secret. Our military doesn't broadcast necessarily. It's
25:26
Speaker 8: ongoing efforts and it's ongoing actions. But the fake news
25:31
Speaker 8: that is somehow trying to drive a wedge in the
25:34
Speaker 8: Republican Party and in this crowd, I think is dishonest
25:39
Speaker 8: and dishonorable. Look, it's just dishonorable. Americans aren't Harm's way.
25:46
Speaker 3: Now.
25:47
Speaker 8: I won't say to any person in this crowd or
25:49
Speaker 8: any speaker that doesn't agree with it, that's our right.
25:53
Speaker 3: We're a big party, we're a big tent, and that's fine.
25:56
Speaker 8: But it is dishonorable when the conventional news meet puts
26:01
Speaker 8: out news, and I'm friends with a lot of them,
26:03
Speaker 8: I see it, and he goes markets ratings. I hear
26:06
Speaker 8: this from all of them, and we don't have anybody
26:07
Speaker 8: else will say it. In Criticizing President Trump is the
26:10
Speaker 8: thing to do, but let's be serious.
26:14
Speaker 3: He is ending the Middle East forever war.
26:17
Speaker 8: Right now, and you will be paying less at the
26:26
Speaker 8: gas pump, which is important because our economy matters and
26:29
Speaker 8: what our home life matters. But more importantly, the terror state,
26:35
Speaker 8: the head of the octopus, the tentacles of these terror groups,
26:38
Speaker 8: is being decimated when no president, no president, had the
26:43
Speaker 8: courage to do it previously.
26:48
Speaker 7: Amen to that.
26:49
Speaker 5: Now, Ambassador, this is an interesting place that I think
26:52
Speaker 5: we're in, right, you know, I'm scrolling the other day
26:54
Speaker 5: on Twitter and I see first video come out, it's
26:58
Speaker 5: President Trump.
26:58
Speaker 7: The war run is fantastic.
27:02
Speaker 5: Then next I see who is it, Baby Nenyahu and
27:07
Speaker 5: he says, we are here. Nobody's forcing my hands, the
27:09
Speaker 5: presidents in charge. Third video, some new general from the
27:13
Speaker 5: IRGC I'd never seen in my years of following the
27:16
Speaker 5: news saying, don't believe the fake news.
27:19
Speaker 7: We've got this. We're ready to take things on.
27:21
Speaker 5: And I'm thinking, hey, doesn't look that good from my perspective.
27:25
Speaker 7: What's going on here?
27:26
Speaker 8: First of all, propaganda war is almost is viable right now.
27:30
Speaker 8: Is real war except people. It causes people to kill
27:34
Speaker 8: and die, but a lot of that is propaganda. Look,
27:37
Speaker 8: no one is forcing America to do and protect its
27:40
Speaker 8: interest in itself. If you think anybody can direct and
27:43
Speaker 8: convince or manipulate Donald Trump into some sort of action.
27:48
Speaker 8: Maybe you guys haven't seen what I've seen over the
27:50
Speaker 8: last decade into American politics. And more importantly, he sees
27:54
Speaker 8: the threat and he sees the opportunity. But the news media,
27:59
Speaker 8: when you go out, every one of you as a
28:01
Speaker 8: cell phone, mobile phone, cell phone, I'm showing my age.
28:05
Speaker 8: Go out and google Iran news, and I promise you
28:08
Speaker 8: the top ten hits will be war going badly, blah
28:10
Speaker 8: blah blah. You have to understand we have decimated Iran's leadership,
28:16
Speaker 8: largely decimated its ballistic missile programs. It's shahead drone program.
28:20
Speaker 8: I was the guy with a shahead here last year.
28:22
Speaker 8: I owned two of them. I'm the only guy in
28:24
Speaker 8: private hands. Shows you I truly am an Iran geek.
28:27
Speaker 8: First dad joke that I have a shahead drone.
28:30
Speaker 3: We had it here.
28:32
Speaker 8: But what it shows is we've decimated that leadership. We're
28:35
Speaker 8: decimating their abilities. Just yesterday, a guy, the i ERGC
28:40
Speaker 8: Naval Commander Alireza Tenz Gary.
28:42
Speaker 3: You again have to be a true Iran geek to
28:44
Speaker 3: know who he is. But he was the man that
28:46
Speaker 3: controlled the Strait of four News. He died two days ago.
28:55
Speaker 8: We had called, We had called for his designation and
28:58
Speaker 8: is killing. Years ago, even President Biden had sent the
29:02
Speaker 8: USS Baton Group because of the threats from the ier
29:05
Speaker 8: GC Navy. President Trump has eliminated that navy no longer.
29:09
Speaker 3: Should the strait of our MOUs be the tax.
29:11
Speaker 8: And premium on the global economy to the two new
29:14
Speaker 8: trillions of dollars?
29:15
Speaker 7: I want to ask two questions here.
29:17
Speaker 5: One is a lot of people think that the Iranians
29:20
Speaker 5: are some sort of primitive rock throwing army. I think
29:25
Speaker 5: it's a mistake to underestimate them your thoughts.
29:29
Speaker 8: Look, there's no doubt this might upset my Iranian friends
29:33
Speaker 8: and family in this audience here, but this is our
29:36
Speaker 8: country and they're an established military and bureaucracy. They can't
29:41
Speaker 8: hold a candle to the United States of America, but
29:45
Speaker 8: they have deep levels of support. We're probably on the
29:49
Speaker 8: third or fourth level of that leadership. And the Iatola,
29:52
Speaker 8: before his timely demise, made sure he purified and made
29:58
Speaker 8: sure that these guys were true believers. But we are
30:01
Speaker 8: getting to the point where one of them is gonna
30:04
Speaker 8: say no longer.
30:05
Speaker 3: Am I gonna shoot women? In the eye.
30:08
Speaker 8: No longer. Are we gonna kill innocence in the street?
30:11
Speaker 8: I have family no more and will hopefully make a deal.
30:15
Speaker 8: There are only two options the regime's gonna fall period.
30:19
Speaker 8: The question is the regime's gonna fall? And again this
30:26
Speaker 8: may upset my Iranian brothers and sisters in the audience.
30:30
Speaker 8: Either we are able to remove the regime in our
30:32
Speaker 8: efforts right now, and or we have a much weakened
30:36
Speaker 8: regime that does some sort of deal with the United
30:38
Speaker 8: States and the West, that is so decimated. The Iranian
30:41
Speaker 8: people will still rise up and defeat this regime. Because
30:45
Speaker 8: ultimately I support the Iranian people. I don't take sides
30:49
Speaker 8: on the Iranian people. It is not for us to
30:59
Speaker 8: say to the Iranian peace people how they will have
31:01
Speaker 8: their next government. It's up to the Iranian people, and
31:03
Speaker 8: they are brave, and they are courageous, and they are
31:07
Speaker 8: willing to go into the streets.
31:14
Speaker 3: This regime killed.
31:15
Speaker 8: Imagine protesting in the streets and killing thirty to forty
31:20
Speaker 8: thousand of your own people and having the.
31:22
Speaker 3: Courage to turn into the streets and.
31:25
Speaker 8: Charge into gunfire because of what you believe.
31:28
Speaker 3: You all know.
31:29
Speaker 8: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams. But there were great
31:33
Speaker 8: American patriots that died on Bunker Hill, some names you
31:37
Speaker 8: probably don't know. There are many brave Iranian men and
31:40
Speaker 8: women that are dying on the Bunker Hill against the
31:44
Speaker 8: Iatolas regime. Now it's our job to do everything we
31:47
Speaker 8: can to support them for our own national security, for
31:50
Speaker 8: our allies national security, and because it's right. The Iranian
31:53
Speaker 8: people are brave and courageous.
31:58
Speaker 5: Ambassador Mark Wallace, We've got a couple of minutes left,
32:01
Speaker 5: and I want to cover two things if we can't,
32:03
Speaker 5: the first one being you said, we've gone through a
32:05
Speaker 5: couple of layers of IRGC, one of them being the
32:09
Speaker 5: Ayatola Ali comedy right out next Moshtaba. Nobody's seen this
32:14
Speaker 5: guy the Sun. Who knows if he's alike? How far
32:17
Speaker 5: deep do we have to go to eliminate the radicalized
32:20
Speaker 5: element that exists within the Islamic Republic of Iran.
32:24
Speaker 8: It's a very good question, and I don't know the
32:26
Speaker 8: answer because I know, and I'm happy to talk to
32:30
Speaker 8: you all about it. I know the names of all
32:32
Speaker 8: the leadership, multiple layers. I do this for a living.
32:34
Speaker 8: I've been doing this longer than almost anybody in the world,
32:38
Speaker 8: and I know them by name, I know who they are,
32:40
Speaker 8: and most of them are dead. The likely next interim
32:44
Speaker 8: leader it's probably somebody I don't know and our intelligence
32:49
Speaker 8: services don't know, and that they will rise up and
32:52
Speaker 8: say they're no longer going to attack the brave men
32:55
Speaker 8: and women of Iran, and they no longer want to
32:57
Speaker 8: die from a drone strike or a missile strike, and
32:59
Speaker 8: they want to move on. And that will be complicated
33:02
Speaker 8: for the Ranian people because it will be could be
33:04
Speaker 8: a regime person, you know, and we have to be
33:06
Speaker 8: honest about that. But the reality is the next one,
33:09
Speaker 8: if it's internal, it's somebody that we likely don't know,
33:13
Speaker 8: or if the Iranian people rise up when it's safe
33:15
Speaker 8: to go on this reets, which we've seen the willingness
33:17
Speaker 8: to do in the past, it could be one of
33:19
Speaker 8: the brave organizers of that opposition.
33:22
Speaker 5: Ambassador Mark Wallace, I want to thank you and I
33:24
Speaker 5: want to ask you a question. Right I'm walking down
33:27
Speaker 5: the street. The honorific for a guy like me, and
33:29
Speaker 5: like most of the people here is mister sir, I'm
33:32
Speaker 5: a talk show host, But the honorific for a guy
33:35
Speaker 5: like you is your excellency.
33:36
Speaker 7: Talk to me about how often do people.
33:38
Speaker 5: Call you your excellency, and do you do you when
33:40
Speaker 5: they say sir, no, no, no, it's your excellency.
33:43
Speaker 8: I agreed to do this with you, but I didn't
33:46
Speaker 8: know that you turned her back on me in the
33:48
Speaker 8: green room, and I was a little upset that you
33:49
Speaker 8: didn't show me the respect of not walking out backwards.
33:54
Speaker 8: I will do this again, but I expect Excellency, the
33:57
Speaker 8: honorific and the ambassador the best dad joke being like
34:00
Speaker 8: having that title ambassador in the United States. It's a
34:02
Speaker 8: big deal everywhere else. But like you know, we're Americans.
34:05
Speaker 8: We don't go by titles. That's not who we are,
34:07
Speaker 8: right But no turning your back on me, that's it.
34:10
Speaker 8: No turning your back on me.
34:14
Speaker 5: Ambassador Mark Wallace. I want to thank you. See Pack,
34:16
Speaker 5: I want to thank you too. This is such an
34:19
Speaker 5: interesting issue, an issue that I think is going to
34:21
Speaker 5: continue to affect both Americans and Persians alike and everybody
34:26
Speaker 5: in the region. And it's my hope that we come
34:28
Speaker 5: up with a solution that will secure the straight and
34:31
Speaker 5: allow the Iranian people to move forward.
34:34
Speaker 7: Thank you, sir.
34:34
Speaker 8: Have confidence in President Trump It's okay to have different opinions,
34:38
Speaker 8: but don't believe that news media. We are ending a
34:42
Speaker 8: forever war right now.
34:47
Speaker 3: Thank you all.
34:51
Speaker 2: This is Amara, this is America.
35:08
Speaker 5: President Donald take Trump, mister President, welcome to the program.
35:10
Speaker 2: Sir well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
35:14
Speaker 3: I know you very well and I have I listened,
35:16
Speaker 3: but I have a lot of people that.
35:18
Speaker 8: Listen and they love your show and I appreciate it
35:20
Speaker 8: very much.
35:21
Speaker 6: All right, amigos, welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your company
35:24
Speaker 6: and getting a little bit of my voice back, Getting
35:26
Speaker 6: a little bit of that voice back. Man. It's a
35:29
Speaker 6: slow moving process. But anyway, I want to continue with
35:33
Speaker 6: some of the seapack highlights from Texas Plus, keeping you
35:35
Speaker 6: up to speed on what's going on in the news today.
35:37
Speaker 6: President Trump threatening to use ground troops if necessary to
35:43
Speaker 6: extract uranium. And this is one of those things that
35:47
Speaker 6: people are like, oh my gosh, there it is. This
35:49
Speaker 6: is the quagmire, this is Vietnam, and quite frankly has
35:52
Speaker 6: the ability to become one. Right. The idea here is
35:56
Speaker 6: for President Trump to do what he does best to
35:59
Speaker 6: leverage people's needs and get the people that need the
36:03
Speaker 6: strait of hor Mooz and the people that need a
36:06
Speaker 6: freer run to do this work. Right, We've done the
36:10
Speaker 6: heavy part. We've taken out the top layer of leadership.
36:13
Speaker 6: Now if they want to go door to door trying
36:15
Speaker 6: to kill the rest of the tentacles of the octopus,
36:17
Speaker 6: go right ahead. But that's not something I think we
36:20
Speaker 6: need to sign up for. Right It's kind of like
36:23
Speaker 6: you see the old lady getting robbed. You grab the
36:25
Speaker 6: guy and now you wait for the cops to lock
36:27
Speaker 6: him up. Right, you can't be the judge, the jury,
36:29
Speaker 6: and the executioner. Right, you do your part is good samaritan.
36:32
Speaker 6: So I think that being said, we've done our part.
36:35
Speaker 6: We have been the good Samaritan. Now what is before
36:38
Speaker 6: us is our exit strategy. We'll continue with that a
36:42
Speaker 6: little bit, and the next segment I want to talk
36:43
Speaker 6: about iron. I want to talk about Raza Polavi.
36:45
Speaker 2: You.
36:45
Speaker 6: We're going to talk about some of the grumblings from hearing,
36:48
Speaker 6: grumblings from the Department of Justice, grumblings from the Department
36:51
Speaker 6: of Energy, all sorts of rumors flying about Washington, d C.
36:55
Speaker 6: Maybe we'll crystallize those in the next segment or tomorrow.
36:58
Speaker 6: Plus we're going to talk about the Supreme Court decision
37:00
Speaker 6: tomorrow as well, but right now I want to direct
37:04
Speaker 6: your attention to Nick Shirley. That's right. He is the
37:07
Speaker 6: hoodie wearing intrepid journalist on YouTube that is constantly bringing
37:13
Speaker 6: the receipts on the leering centers and the Somali pirates fraudsters.
37:18
Speaker 6: So he spoke at Seapack and was a really big
37:22
Speaker 6: hit because you know who doesn't love it a little
37:25
Speaker 6: Nick Shirley. And it was eye opening, to say the least,
37:30
Speaker 6: because people oftentimes, you know, we assume that there's fraud.
37:36
Speaker 6: We know that there is fraud, but we never really
37:39
Speaker 6: think that it's largely coming from one area. You know,
37:44
Speaker 6: for example, in Minnesota. If someone today were to ask you, hey,
37:51
Speaker 6: do you think that it's one particular group of people
37:54
Speaker 6: that are conducting the fraud in Minnesota. If they were
37:57
Speaker 6: to ask you that today, you'd probably say yes. If
37:58
Speaker 6: they would ask you that, I don't know, four or
38:00
Speaker 6: five years ago, you'd likely say no. You'd probably say no.
38:03
Speaker 6: People who commit fraud all over the place. Now we
38:06
Speaker 6: know that they own this fraud ring and it's you know,
38:09
Speaker 6: you want to get out on the fraud. You got
38:10
Speaker 6: to go to them, listen to it. There's a quick clip,
38:13
Speaker 6: but eye opening them the less.
38:16
Speaker 9: However, it seems to be that most of the fraud
38:19
Speaker 9: is in a lot of these blue cities, and when
38:21
Speaker 9: you go out and expose the fraud, I mean, I
38:24
Speaker 9: think Gavin Newsom, he posted a photo of me the
38:26
Speaker 9: other day and had ten cameras on me and AI
38:30
Speaker 9: generated image saying, where are the kids trying to depict
38:34
Speaker 9: me as a pervert for exposing fraud? How sick does
38:37
Speaker 9: the governor have to be to say that the kid
38:40
Speaker 9: exposing the fraud is the bad person versus the fraudsters
38:44
Speaker 9: are stealing the money.
38:53
Speaker 6: And he's one hundred percent right right, Nick Shirley is
38:56
Speaker 6: not doing something bad, He's doing something good. He's a
39:01
Speaker 6: modern day Nelly Bly and Paul Revere are all wrapped
39:05
Speaker 6: up into one. This is the type of thing that
39:07
Speaker 6: we need, right. It's like James O'Keeffe Project, Veritas o
39:10
Speaker 6: Keith Media Group, same thing. Look at the impact he's
39:14
Speaker 6: had and he's paid quite a price for it. This
39:16
Speaker 6: work isn't easy. So I tipped my hat to mister Shirley.
39:19
Speaker 6: And by the way, he was not wearing a hood.
39:21
Speaker 6: He was wearing a really nice suit and a fancy
39:23
Speaker 6: red tie. But the bottom line here is these are
39:25
Speaker 6: Somalis in particular. Right, I'm not making a case against
39:29
Speaker 6: them as a people. I'm making a case against them
39:33
Speaker 6: as a people in Minnesota that are now becoming synonymous
39:38
Speaker 6: with fraud. Listen, all we can do is say it
39:40
Speaker 6: is what it is. Now in other news in that
39:42
Speaker 6: I'm gonna talk about fraud more in a moment. There's
39:44
Speaker 6: a lot more fraud going on. There's hospice fraud. We're
39:46
Speaker 6: going to talk about that. That's been going all over California.
39:49
Speaker 6: Every area kind of has their own fraud. But in
39:53
Speaker 6: Somalia in particular, since we're on that fraud, there was
39:56
Speaker 6: a high degree of immigration fraud being reported there and
40:01
Speaker 6: JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, recently
40:04
Speaker 6: making some claims about that, about ilhan Omar and about
40:10
Speaker 6: what might happen. Listen to this.
40:13
Speaker 10: The Trump administration ramps up as crackdown on fraud, Vice
40:16
Speaker 10: President JD Vance is now targeting Minnesota Congresswoman il Han Omar.
40:21
Speaker 6: Now.
40:21
Speaker 10: Vance is leading the new Anti Fraud Task Force, which
40:25
Speaker 10: met for the first time on Friday. Now we have
40:27
Speaker 10: learned that Omar's immigration history is now under review. Omar
40:31
Speaker 10: came to the US as a refugee from Somalia in
40:33
Speaker 10: nineteen ninety five. She's been dogged with questions about her
40:37
Speaker 10: marriages for a while now. Officials note immigration fraud can
40:40
Speaker 10: carry serious penalties, including losing citizenship.
40:44
Speaker 11: We actually think that Ililomore definitely committed immigration fraud against
40:48
Speaker 11: the United States of America, and I talked to Steven
40:50
Speaker 11: Miller about this actually recently. We're trying to look at
40:53
Speaker 11: what the remedies are. That's the thing that we're trying
40:55
Speaker 11: to figure out, is what are the legal remedies now
40:58
Speaker 11: that we know that she's committed immigration fraud? How do
41:01
Speaker 11: you go after her or how do you investigate her?
41:02
Speaker 6: How do you actually do the thing?
41:03
Speaker 11: How do you build a case necessary to get some
41:07
Speaker 11: justice for the American people. There's a related issue, Benny,
41:10
Speaker 11: which is she has been at the center of a
41:13
Speaker 11: lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somalian community.
41:16
Speaker 10: Well, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Democratic congresswoman cause the
41:20
Speaker 10: allegations a ridiculous lie. But the Republic of Somalia look
41:25
Speaker 10: at this, a functioning democracy that Somalia claims as a
41:29
Speaker 10: territory posted on exit it would like to see her
41:33
Speaker 10: right there extra diect.
41:35
Speaker 6: So yes, the Kingdom of Somaliland or the Republic of
41:39
Speaker 6: Somali Land says we will take her back gladly. Now
41:42
Speaker 6: a lot of debate over that. Some are saying, if
41:46
Speaker 6: is this tongue in cheek, is this the people that
41:48
Speaker 6: suffered under her dad, who led a coup against that
41:52
Speaker 6: current government, or is that them admitting that she is
41:56
Speaker 6: a fraudster, or is that saying we her she truly
42:00
Speaker 6: is our princess and let her come back home. I
42:04
Speaker 6: don't know the answer to that, but as we get
42:06
Speaker 6: more information on it, I'll keep you posted. But I
42:08
Speaker 6: think this is fascinating. Now. I'm up two minds on this.
42:11
Speaker 6: I'll share both of you. One is, while I know
42:13
Speaker 6: this is good red meat for the base, I don't
42:16
Speaker 6: think most Americans. I truly don't. And if I'm wrong,
42:19
Speaker 6: please let me know. Eight seven seven Valdes one. I
42:22
Speaker 6: don't believe most Americans wake up every day, and you know,
42:26
Speaker 6: thank you Lord for waking me up again, for giving
42:29
Speaker 6: me sight, for giving me health, or being merciful to
42:34
Speaker 6: my children, and for locking up ill han Omar I
42:38
Speaker 6: don't think most people are that hell bent on her
42:43
Speaker 6: being deported or going to jail or anything like that.
42:45
Speaker 6: Most the word is most most people listening to the show,
42:48
Speaker 6: probably one hundred percent. Most people in the Republican Party,
42:52
Speaker 6: same thing. Yes, most people in the conservative movement, most
42:55
Speaker 6: people at SEAPAC, but most people across our country. Now,
43:00
Speaker 6: I don't believe that. So I don't know that this
43:02
Speaker 6: is a top issue for America. This is a top
43:07
Speaker 6: issue for the base, which is important to move the
43:10
Speaker 6: needle on, you know, popularity and support the words escaping
43:17
Speaker 6: me approval ratings in that category. But again, that's part
43:22
Speaker 6: of the game. The other part of this is the
43:27
Speaker 6: backfire right, the Democrats turning around saying, wow, this is
43:30
Speaker 6: what the Vice President of the United States is going
43:32
Speaker 6: to waste his time doing, going after a sitting US
43:36
Speaker 6: congresswoman who came here fleeing persecution by her government, only
43:40
Speaker 6: to come here and be persecuted by a new government. Right,
43:42
Speaker 6: because you know how the left is. All they do
43:44
Speaker 6: is cry victimhood. So I think you always got to
43:47
Speaker 6: just look at both sides of the coin before you
43:50
Speaker 6: make a political play, because you never know the outcome.
43:53
Speaker 6: In this case, I would do it too. I would
43:55
Speaker 6: also beat the same drum of deport ill, hand deport ill.
44:00
Speaker 6: We've seen it play well, right, Lock her up with
44:03
Speaker 6: Hillary Clinton played very very well. In fact, if you
44:05
Speaker 6: look at the entire q Andon movement and idea, it's
44:10
Speaker 6: all about accountability, it's all about justice, and that is
44:13
Speaker 6: the live action role play that it gets people hooked on.
44:18
Speaker 6: You know, first it gives them this juicy hook of
44:21
Speaker 6: they are trafficking children, and then it goes into their
44:24
Speaker 6: eating children, their satanic pedophiles, they're harming the children. There's
44:28
Speaker 6: not a human being on this planet that if they
44:31
Speaker 6: give you the time of day to listen to that story,
44:34
Speaker 6: isn't going to feel sympathy and say, well hold on,
44:37
Speaker 6: we all want to protect the children. So you immediately
44:41
Speaker 6: have a commonality with the person next to you who's
44:43
Speaker 6: telling you about the eating of the children or the
44:45
Speaker 6: kidnapping of the children, this evil, nefarious stuff. So now
44:49
Speaker 6: there's a kinship there, and now we are birds of
44:53
Speaker 6: a feather. I get it. This is you know, how
44:55
Speaker 6: movements are made, how propaganda is advanced, all of that.
45:00
Speaker 6: I look at this stuff every day. Is this that no,
45:03
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I think this is truly Trump
45:05
Speaker 6: trying to move the needle on introducing an idea to
45:09
Speaker 6: correct the record. I think President Trump really wants people
45:11
Speaker 6: to understand that while they would if they were on
45:15
Speaker 6: their lunch break from work and a reporter were to
45:18
Speaker 6: put a microphone in their face and say, excuse me, sir,
45:20
Speaker 6: excuse me, ma'am. Do you believe that there is massive
45:24
Speaker 6: fraud going on in America? I think most people say yes,
45:26
Speaker 6: I do believe that. Of course, people are always ripping
45:29
Speaker 6: people off, especially if they're from New York. They're going
45:31
Speaker 6: to say that because they believe that they see that. However,
45:37
Speaker 6: those same people would tell you, but I don't think
45:39
Speaker 6: anything's going to happen. I don't believe that we're going
45:41
Speaker 6: to see justice. This has been going on since the
45:43
Speaker 6: beginning of time. The Roman Empire had a name for it.
45:45
Speaker 6: It was called ambuthus, right, ambi t us. So if
45:50
Speaker 6: political corruption is as old as civilization itself, then what
45:54
Speaker 6: makes us think that this would go away? And I
45:57
Speaker 6: think that is the attitude most people have. And Trump, however,
46:01
Speaker 6: has never met a challenge that he didn't love, and
46:03
Speaker 6: he says, well, people would have that idea unless you
46:06
Speaker 6: truly teach them the genesis of the fraud, what the
46:10
Speaker 6: fraud looks like, help them to personify the fraud. So
46:13
Speaker 6: it has a name, of face, a smell, right when
46:16
Speaker 6: you can feel it and touch it and live it.
46:19
Speaker 6: And that's what he's doing. He's showing the American people
46:22
Speaker 6: that the contemptible nature of il han Omar. Some people
46:27
Speaker 6: did something right when callously speaking about nine to eleven,
46:31
Speaker 6: the contemptible nature of il han Omar, and how arrogantly
46:35
Speaker 6: she deals with the press when they say things to her,
46:38
Speaker 6: and sometimes it's warranted because the questions are kind of sideways.
46:41
Speaker 6: In my opinion, I would probably give you a slick
46:43
Speaker 6: remark to But what President Trump does best is truly
46:48
Speaker 6: help you to see things that you didn't see before,
46:50
Speaker 6: things that were already there, but now you get it
46:53
Speaker 6: from a new perspective. And that's what he's doing here.
46:58
Speaker 6: He's helping us to see that the fraud isn't just
47:00
Speaker 6: this this intangible, unknown thing that we can't put a
47:08
Speaker 6: finger on. It's not this nameless, faceless evil that just exists. No,
47:12
Speaker 6: it has a name, it has a face. It's illan Omar.
47:16
Speaker 6: It's the Somali land pirates in Little Mogadishu in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Right,
47:24
Speaker 6: And now when you have this, now that there's that's
47:26
Speaker 6: a place where we can direct our ere, we can
47:30
Speaker 6: direct our energy and say, well, that is unacceptable. And
47:35
Speaker 6: now that we know exactly what's going on, these people
47:38
Speaker 6: need to pay the price. Before this was a nameless
47:40
Speaker 6: and faceless crime that we couldn't prosecute. But now we
47:44
Speaker 6: need to prosecute. And that is something President Trump is
47:48
Speaker 6: good at that nobody else I've seen nobody else do
47:51
Speaker 6: what he does. He's amazing at it. He's amazing at
47:55
Speaker 6: helping people to see the light. And you know guys
47:59
Speaker 6: like Nick, right, Nick Shirley is seeing this because he
48:02
Speaker 6: saw President Trump draw attention to these things and he
48:06
Speaker 6: also has a talent for it, and voila. Hence we
48:09
Speaker 6: have what we're having. So do I think ill Han
48:11
Speaker 6: gets deported? Man? I hope. So if she's guilty, why not.
48:14
Speaker 6: Do I think it's gonna happen as of today? I don't.
48:17
Speaker 6: I think something may happen. I think that there may
48:20
Speaker 6: be a correction of the record. I think it may
48:22
Speaker 6: go down in history that there was you know, irregularities
48:28
Speaker 6: that were found, but being that it happened so long ago,
48:31
Speaker 6: or this and that, and maybe I'm wrong, right, maybe
48:33
Speaker 6: the Statute of Limitations doesn't pass on this, or maybe
48:37
Speaker 6: there isn't a preponderance of proof that can get her convicted.
48:41
Speaker 6: What I don't want to see is another case like
48:45
Speaker 6: James Comey. We say he's guilty of sin treason, and
48:50
Speaker 6: then we charge him with like a traffic ticket, and
48:52
Speaker 6: then he beats it. Same thing with Letitia James. These
48:56
Speaker 6: desperate attempts to get people when we don't have what
49:00
Speaker 6: it takes just for the sake of saying we went
49:02
Speaker 6: after them is It's not a good look. I think
49:06
Speaker 6: it's a waste of time. And honestly, people, they lose
49:10
Speaker 6: interest because I think justice as a whole loses credibility
49:15
Speaker 6: in those situations. So it makes it look like the
49:18
Speaker 6: bad guys are winning. I think it's a good thing
49:20
Speaker 6: to put her on blast. Don't come after her unless
49:23
Speaker 6: you have, you know, rock solid proof. That's my thinking
49:27
Speaker 6: on this. Anyway, there was an article I wanted to
49:30
Speaker 6: share with you here with same topic. Because President Trump
49:38
Speaker 6: he's not only going after real hann Omar, but saying
49:41
Speaker 6: that this is something that's happening widespread in the Somali
49:43
Speaker 6: community of Minnesota. Immigrants from Somalier coming to the country
49:48
Speaker 6: with very little money and very quickly able to afford
49:51
Speaker 6: luxury cars like Mercedes benz And why they do it
49:54
Speaker 6: because they're committing fraud on programs that are paid for
49:57
Speaker 6: by the United States taxpayers. Yeah, and that makes sense.
50:02
Speaker 6: There was a clip shared by the White House being
50:04
Speaker 6: reported here in the Kenya Times, and it's the Trump
50:09
Speaker 6: forty seven account the Rapid Response team and saying they
50:13
Speaker 6: come here with no money, and they go out and
50:15
Speaker 6: they buy Mercedes Benzes and l hann Omar who married
50:18
Speaker 6: her brother, is a stone cold crook, and everybody knows it. Right,
50:22
Speaker 6: these things they helped to galvanize the base. And I'm
50:26
Speaker 6: not saying they're false. I'm just saying it's good that
50:30
Speaker 6: he's calling attention to it because I think prior to this,
50:33
Speaker 6: you know, the going the going statement was, well, there's
50:36
Speaker 6: no proof that she actually married her brother. I think
50:38
Speaker 6: now we have some pretty good information that leads to
50:42
Speaker 6: she married a guy with the same last name as
50:44
Speaker 6: her before she got married. Doesn't mean it's her brother
50:47
Speaker 6: per se, but these seem to be things that are
50:51
Speaker 6: oftentimes done in many communities that are committing immigration fraud,
50:56
Speaker 6: not solely the Somalis, but including the Somalis. So I
51:03
Speaker 6: think this is an interesting thing for federal prosecutors to
51:06
Speaker 6: look at it, and I think they're going to find
51:09
Speaker 6: that not only is it happening with childcare and the
51:12
Speaker 6: autism services, but doctor Oz is out there swashbuckling through
51:17
Speaker 6: California and other places with Medicaid related services and other
51:20
Speaker 6: programs talking about billions and billions of dollars that are
51:24
Speaker 6: being built out of our system. So what do we do.
51:28
Speaker 6: We keep our finger on the pulse and we keep
51:30
Speaker 6: going excuse me, pardon me, Thank God for the cough button.
51:36
Speaker 6: So anyway, that means I need to sip water, and
51:37
Speaker 6: I'm probably going to take a break right here, but
51:39
Speaker 6: we will come back and we will continue our discussion.
51:42
Speaker 6: I want to talk about Iran a little bit more
51:44
Speaker 6: because one of the people besides Prime Minister is Trusts
51:49
Speaker 6: and Ambassador Mark Wallace and the women that I met
51:52
Speaker 6: that were shot in the face by the IRGC, and
51:56
Speaker 6: Ambassador Rick Rennell and Larry O'Connor and who else. Colonel
52:01
Speaker 6: Kirk Schlichter and Matt Schlapp and Mercedes schlap and Chris
52:06
Speaker 6: Salcedo and so many. There were so many people that
52:10
Speaker 6: I got a chance to catch up with at the sea.
52:13
Speaker 6: Pack was raised up Alave, the crown Prince. There were
52:17
Speaker 6: people chanting all over the place, these rhyming chants. They
52:20
Speaker 6: sounded like the leftoes quite frankly, but they were a
52:22
Speaker 6: lot more peaceful and waving Iranian flags and American flags
52:27
Speaker 6: and thanking mister Trump, Thank you USA, thank you President Trump,
52:30
Speaker 6: all hail. And they weren't calling him prince, they were
52:33
Speaker 6: calling him King, King Polave. And I thought that was
52:37
Speaker 6: really interesting. I tried to get a clip of it,
52:39
Speaker 6: but I wasn't able to They were too fast for
52:42
Speaker 6: me and my thick thumbs to hit the record button
52:45
Speaker 6: on my cell phone. But needless to say, you're going
52:48
Speaker 6: to hear a couple of clips from him on the
52:50
Speaker 6: way back. Pretty remarkable speech. He says, he's raised up Alave,
52:54
Speaker 6: reporting for duty. Keep it locked right here. I am
52:57

Speaker 6: any ideas or you want to get involved in any

Speaker 6: of the stuff that's going on here. I appreciate that,
56:09
Speaker 6: and I want to continue with this speech by Raza Polavi.
56:13
Speaker 6: Raza Polavi again giving many, many remarks in his speech
56:18
Speaker 6: at Seapac and the Crown Princess. He's known people chanting
56:22
Speaker 6: for days on end. We're chanting about Raza Polavi. And
56:26
Speaker 6: there's a lot that he said, and he started off strong,
56:30
Speaker 6: he ended strong, standing ovation packed house, thousands of people.
56:35
Speaker 6: It really was quite remarkable. And let's start it right here.
56:40
Speaker 12: Republicans and monarchists, left and right, men and women of
56:45
Speaker 12: all ages, religious and ethnicities, even people who are former
56:50
Speaker 12: political opponents have joined the movement to free Iran under
56:54
Speaker 12: my leadership. Equally important, Iran's armed for seas and bureaucracy
57:04
Speaker 12: will follow me. Thousands of the regime's military officials, some
57:09
Speaker 12: very senior, have signed their readiness to join me through
57:13
Speaker 12: a digital defection platform my team established several months ago.
57:18
Speaker 12: Many of these officials have refused to obey the orders
57:21
Speaker 12: to kill civilians during the January uprising. That's why the
57:26
Speaker 12: IRGC had to import thugs from Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon
57:31
Speaker 12: to do the dirty work. With my leadership, They and
57:36
Speaker 12: others who don't have blood on their hands will play
57:39
Speaker 12: a role in stabilizing the country during the transition.
57:49
Speaker 6: So that has raised up a lobby saying that he
57:51
Speaker 6: is in touch with folks in the IRGC and that
57:56
Speaker 6: he's going to use them if given the opportunity, need
58:00
Speaker 6: to be the interim leader in Iran to stabilize things. Now.
58:03
Speaker 6: This is the clearest part of his plan, and he
58:06
Speaker 6: laid out lots of parts in the full speech was
58:08
Speaker 6: about a half hour long. I'm not going to use
58:09
Speaker 6: all of my show to give you all of his speech,
58:11
Speaker 6: but I will say it seemed a little bit more
58:14
Speaker 6: than surface level. This is not my endorsement of him.
58:17
Speaker 6: I know that there is him and his faction. You
58:20
Speaker 6: also have the supporters of the m K, the People's
58:24
Speaker 6: muja Hadeen, the group that is led by Mari m Rajavi,
58:30
Speaker 6: and we've had many of their representatives on, like Ambassador
58:34
Speaker 6: super View, Senator Robert Torceli, Ali Reza Jafarzade and others
58:40
Speaker 6: that have represented the MK. These are people that know
58:43
Speaker 6: what's going on. So who am I to get involved
58:46
Speaker 6: in an Iranian squabble? Right, I'm just here to tell
58:48
Speaker 6: you what each of them is saying. There was no
58:51
Speaker 6: representation from the m e K at Seapac. It was
58:54
Speaker 6: a clear win by team Paalavi. Now, President Trump has
58:57
Speaker 6: signaled that he's a nice guy, that he's not sure
59:00
Speaker 6: if the Iranian people want him, but he seems like
59:02
Speaker 6: a nice guy. That's President Trump remaining polite and impartial.
59:05
Speaker 6: You've got others that are critics of his saying, this
59:08
Speaker 6: man has not been in Iran forever. He's been exiled
59:12
Speaker 6: from Iran because of his father, the Shah. He's between
59:15
Speaker 6: living in Europe and living in California. What does he
59:17
Speaker 6: know about Iran. That's a valid point. I'm not saying
59:20
Speaker 6: it's an accurate point. I'm saying it's a valid point.
59:22
Speaker 6: It's valid question to ask. Seems to me that if
59:25
Speaker 6: he has this digital connection to the IRGC, then he's
59:29
Speaker 6: obviously more plugged in than some might imagine. I don't know.
59:32
Speaker 6: I don't have all the questions. I'd love to interview him,
59:35
Speaker 6: and I did not get a chance to. Hopefully and
59:38
Speaker 6: things move forward, maybe I will, but I will say this,
59:41
Speaker 6: he seemed to truly have the hearts and minds of
59:43
Speaker 6: so many people, people that truly align with our movement,
59:47
Speaker 6: people that truly are grateful for America, people that truly
59:50
Speaker 6: stand up for what they believe in, standing up for liberty,
59:54
Speaker 6: standing there for what they believe is is right. And
59:57
Speaker 6: that's something I can respect. And as I always tell you,
1:00:00
Speaker 6: if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And
1:00:03
Speaker 6: the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for
1:00:05
Speaker 6: good people like you to sit there and do nothing. Well,
1:00:08
Speaker 6: these good Iranian Americans, they're not doing nothing. They're taking
1:00:12
Speaker 6: to the streets. They're going to these conferences, and they're
1:00:14
Speaker 6: out there making their voices heard a start. Approxima, take care,
1:00:18
Speaker 6: good night, and God bless you America. I'm Rich Faldez.
1:00:23
Speaker 2: This is America.
