  Speaker 4: Rich Valdez, it's a pleasure to be with you in
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: honor and a blessing. Lots of stuff. New footage on
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: that shooting from the ice officer. Apparently we have an
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: actual video. He had a phone in his pocket and
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: it was almost like a bodycam video shows you everything
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: how they were taunting these guys, how the other officer
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: pulled up and told her to get out of the car,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: and the minute he said to get out of the car,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: she did the dip. She tried to do the getaway.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: It was really really something to watch. Short video too.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It's on my social media if you want to check
• 1:12

• 1:21
  Speaker 4: VALDESZ with an S and followed by the number one.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Now, I want to get into a few things.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: President Trump says he is not going to launch a
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: second attack on Venezuela because they are cooperating and they
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: have now released eight hundred prisoners that have been set
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: free from captivity. These people were being held by the regime.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Some say in torture chambers, others say in different situations.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I saw some videos showing that they were just in
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: jail because they believed in Jesus. They were pastors, preachers
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: and trying to spread the gospel, which is again contrary
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: to what the regime stood for. The Communists don't believe
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: in God, so you're not allowed to do that. Another
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: thing that happened today, President Trump, he says no to
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: a pardon for Diddy. Now I know because I have
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: a friend that is a consultant to a team Didty
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: and I was told that they were pushing very hard
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: to try and.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Get a.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Actual pardon, and it was a long shot and President
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Trump shut that down today. So that's the latest on that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: And there's also this story coming out of the United
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Arab Emirates. Apparently the UAE is now banning their college
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: students from studying in the UK. Why for fear of
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: them becoming radicalized radicalized Islamists. The United Arab Emirates are
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: afraid that their citizens are going to become radical Islamists
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: if they go to school in England. Wild never thought
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I'd hear that. So they've stopped off funding for anything
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: related to helping people do that. And this is because
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: of their concern over the Muslim Brotherhood. And let me
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: tell you this was really interesting because a lot of
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: people don't realize how, I guess, intense these things can be.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: But very intense, that's all I could say. Listen to
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: this exchange between Ian Hersey Ali and the gb News channel.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Check this out.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: There was a report in France last year which warned
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: that the problem with organizations like Muslim Brotherhood is they
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: don't really operate top down through violence, but bottom up
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: through state infiltration through embedding themselves in schools, councils, police
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: authorities and so on. And while we have you, I
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: do want to ask you. We're going to come to
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: this in a bit more detail later on in the show.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: But we have had this case recently in the West
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Midlands in Birmingham of a police a police force seemingly
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: being lobbied or pressured by local islemiss which to me
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: is classic behavior in the genre of bottom up infiltration.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: And is this what the UAE are worried about as well?
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Is this evidence of a Muslim brotherhood style infiltration of
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: British society.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, And to be honest with you, when I read publications,
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: yes there's the French report, but the best, most comprehensive
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: reports actually written by British people and British institutions. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: British intelligence understands exactly who the Muslim Brotherhood is, that
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: there are a hydro with many heads that they operate
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: through front groups. They understand how they use and abuse
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: the system. So it isn't a lack of knowledge, it's
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: really a lack of political will. It is your government
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: making a t of and thinking, you know, they do
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: mobilize this larger demographic which they radicalize in mosques, in
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: youth camps, in schools, and yes, in university campuses. We're
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: seeing a lot of you know the side effects of
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: that radicalization of young people, seeing it take place in
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: our streets. You know what happened after October seventh, in
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: the last two years, and how they come out shouting
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: and aliging with you know, the Marxist Communist left. But
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: in any case, we know it. And I think what
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: the UAE is telling us over and over again is
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: we don't mind you taking that risk for yourselves in
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: your own country. It's self destructed. They've wanted us, they know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: they've lived with this. The UA used to funded the
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: Muslim Brotherhood. They hosted the Muslim brother so did Saudi Arabia,
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: and over time they found out the Muslim Brotherhood is
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: like a cancer. Along with these Islamist they wanted to
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: establish themselves and then overthrow the existing authorities and take
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: power and control. They've told us all of these things.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: They've collaborated with us. I think the UA is a remarkable,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: fantastic country, But then here we are, and I think
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: I don't blame the UAE for, you know, looking after
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: their own interests and especially looking after the youth.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Again, that's Ian Herciali, herself a former Muslim and a
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: member of Congress in the Netherlands. She's she's part of
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: the intelligency and I think she always makes a lot
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: of sense.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But the UAE cutting funding for.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Citizens to study in the UK over Muslim brotherhood tensions.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: That's the headline in the Financial Times.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: And again I never thought i'd see this, but it
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: just corroborates so many of the videos that we've seen
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: where you have Muslims saying we don't want the Muslim brotherhood.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: It explains why there are these seven border walls between
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the Gaza strip in Egypt. I've never understood that, right,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: I always, even with Jordan, I never understood why why
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: are they separating themselves from quote unquote Palestine? And now
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I understand because the threat of radical Islamism in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: name of Hamas or in the name of the Muslim brotherhood,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: these things have ruined civil society in Egypt and in Jordan,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and they're not interested. And I'm not saying this to
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: disparage Muslims. I'm saying this to disparage Islamists. Right, These
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: radical terrorist people that use their religion as a ruse
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: to go ahead and assume the political powers. So that
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: was a couple of minutes that I wanted you to
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: hear from that conversation because I thought it was really
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: just eye opening and really interesting, especially in light of
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: all of the what's the word I want to look
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: for all of the fraud that we've seen coming out
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of Minnesota and whatnot with Tim Walls resigning and everything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: So I want to switch gears a little bit because
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: we're gonna bring in Jill Robin Payne in a little bit.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: But a couple of other things I wanted to mention
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get into a bunch of things tonight. We've
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: talked about a lot of hard political topics. If you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: still in the car and you're not eating dinner yet,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: welcome to the party. I'm gonna try and keep it
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: light and let my hair down. And I don't even
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: have any hair, So how about that. We're gonna take
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: it easy. We're gonna do some old school talk.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Radio here, right. I don't wanna. I don't want to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: get you angry.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I'm not sending you into the weekend thinking about your taxes,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: your Obamacare going up, your this or that, anything like that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I want you calm, cool and collected, kind of like
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: mom Nannie was when he took his oath of office
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: uh in New York City's first Muslim mayor, taking the
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: oath of office UH, saying that he is going to
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: govern as a Democrat socialist. He was elected as a
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Democrat socialist and he's not letting up on that. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: you know what, I get it. I understand.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: UH.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: This is what people do.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: I've always understood and always known that we have differences
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: of opinion in our society. Right there are people that
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: like the New York Mets, and there are people that
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: like the New York Yankees.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: That's a thing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Not everybody's like Philly, where you got Eagles and Phillies.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: It's more diverse sometimes in other places. Some people like chicken,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: some people like steak. And I've never said, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: I don't like you, although somebody told me yesterday, just yesterday,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: they wished me a happy New Year, offered me a
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: pork chop.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And said good because I don't trust people that don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: eat pork. Okay, whatever.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: But for the most part, I think we get along
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: with people who eat differently than we do.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I understand how life works.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Right. I'm not here to beat you up. I am
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: here to have those conversations that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Need to be had.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And I say that to say, I feel like our
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: society has moved in a direction that we haven't always
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: been in.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: We weren't always at each other's throats. We used to
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: take a more positive approach. I'm gonna say a more
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Christian approach, right, a more love your neighbor approach, because
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: it seems that we've given up on a lot of civility.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: And I say we because I think all of us
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: play a role, myself included right, doing conservative talk radio.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: And it's okay to be passionate about the things you
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: believe in while still respecting other people.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Is my thought.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And that's why I like to talk on the phone
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: with the callers and those that dissent. If you have
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: a disagreement with me, move to the front of the line.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: But I want to get into a number of things, because,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: like I said, they can steal your car with antenna's.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that in a little bit.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: They can also there was this other thing I had here, Oh,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: the topic of civility, right, It's one that I want
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to stay on for a little bit because I think
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: most people want civility. Then there are people that become
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: fed up with getting downtrodden, right, with being taken advantage of,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: with always doing the right thing, being raised to do
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: the right thing, and then having the people that disagree
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: with you not do the right thing and seemingly be
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: rewarded for it, or if nothing else, not held accountable
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: for it, not paying the price for their sin, if
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: you will. And that's what we see with the Somalian
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: community in Minnesota. Of course, there's fraud all over the place.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Fraud is as rampant as it's ever been since the
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: beginning of time. But when you have it happening in
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: a community that clearly is antagonistic towards our way of
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: life in America, say hey, we never had a problem
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: with you until now that we know there's fraud, and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: they turn around and say, this is because I'm a Muslim. No,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: it's not because you're a Muslim. It's because you're stealing
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: money that you didn't work for. That's really where the
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: problem is. And I think this is where people are
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: getting very very upset and this is why I like
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: to look at things from I guess, the most humorous
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: point of view that I can. Right, you got to
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: take everything with a grain of salt as best you can.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: And I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw Cory Kahaney.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: She's a comedian and had a very very interesting thing
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to say, go right ahead. This pract like this really
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: nice aunt who promises to take you to.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Disney World, but then something always comes up and she
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: never comes to it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And a Republican is like this really grumpy uncle who
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: tells you that he can't afford Disney World, but then
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: you find out that he went without. So I think
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: that's funny. I like to appreciate the humor of life.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: So keeping it on that lighter note, I want to
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: talk about things that get us upset while doing it
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: in the best humor, right, in the best demeanor we could.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: We're going to talk about the strange children. Apparently it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: a growing trend where people with adult kids get angry
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: with their parents, read a book or two, or go
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: on TikTok, and they find out that they've been the
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: victim of what's the worthy is trauma. You've traumatized me
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: and because they've been traumatized, Well, now it's okay for
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: me to cut off the people that.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Are usually labeled narcissists.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I think that's what they do right now, and it
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: doesn't always have to be. I first learned about this
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: with a girlfriend I had. She was upset with me,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: and you're a narcissist. And I said, oh my gosh,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: I'd never heard of such a thing. But since I
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: have this wealth of brilliant people at my disposal as
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: a talk radio host, guess what. I just happened to
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: be interviewing a woman, doctor Tracy Kempbell, who wrote the
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: book on narcissism, and I took the liberty of asking
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: her if I was a narcissist. And I told her
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: everything I had to tell her, and she said, no,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: you're not a narcissist. She said, you know, we can
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: have narcissistic tendencies. And she said, people like you need
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: them more than others. And I said, people like me,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? And she said, well, people that
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: work in the public eye, people that you know are
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: on radio or television, or even athletes. She said, you
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: can't go and do your job and not feel like
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: you're great at it. You've got to feel like you're
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: doing an amazing job because you need to deliver. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I said, well, thank god, I thought I was just
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: self assured. You know, this girl had me thinking I
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: was a narcissist. Now full disclosure. She was just upset
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: because I was being a jerk in some instances, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I was not a.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Outright narcissist.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: But the bottom line was, I realized that there were
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: things that I was saying and doing that caused her
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: to believe.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: That I was a narcissist.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: And I think there was some you know, inaccurate use
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: of this term, which I think is very popular today.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Everybody is somehow an narcissist, and any kid lately now
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: that has been held accountable by their parents is now
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: a victim of trauma. And because you've caused me trauma,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: I don't want to talk to you, right, And that's
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: what a lot of kids are doing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And I'm a gen xer.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I'm forty seven years old, so I'm on the younger
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: side of life, I think still so my kids are
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: in their twenties, both of them once twenty one's twenty four,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: and they both still talk to me but I've had
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: my bouts of you know, my kid's not talking to me,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: that's for sure. I have two daughters, but by and large,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: we get along well despite the occasional friction. But there
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: are people out there that have experienced some serious disconnects
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: with their children. And I think to myself, I think
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I would buckle and start crying if I thought my
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: kids would never talk to me again.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I've heard some parents talk about three years going by
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: two and a half years. I heard one mom say
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: it was eight years where they hadn't talked to their kid,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: And I'm thinking, how do you not talk to your
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: kid in that long? My kids, when they do get
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: mad at me, it's because I'm calling them more than
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: once in a day, going hey, everything right, you got gas?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Everything good?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: That's me right, I guess the quote unquote helicopter parent. Anyway,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to dig into that. We're scheduled to
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: have psychosocial therapists join us in a little bit to
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: talk about that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Before I get into that, I want to circle back
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: because this perceived trauma, right, It's something that's affecting a
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: lot of people. Some people feel traumatized by what's happening
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: with the Democrat Party in America, by the outright fraud
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: that we're seeing all over the place. Right Minnesota, in
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: my opinion, is the tip of the iceberg, the tip
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: of the spear. We're just learning now how fraud looks.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: That you can take money out of a daycare center
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: that's paid for by the government for a poor community
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: where parents can't afford to have daycare. So the government
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: starts to pay for this daycare. The government, I EU
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: and me the tax dollar, the taxpayer, and our dollars,
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: hard earned dollars, go to pay these programs to the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: tune of millions. Where they go and they rent a
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: facility with a fake facade on it that says leering center, ABC,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Childcare whatever and whatnot. And there's nobody there, and some
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: you know, nineteen or twenty five year old young man
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: is the manager of somebody who doesn't look like they
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: have much experience running daycare facilities. And then they will
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: go ahead and you say that they are the principal there,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: that they are the school director or whatever, and what
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: have you. So this Nick Shirley that I've been talking
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: about all night, and you've probably heard and seen on.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: The social media.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: He took them to task and visited I forget how
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: many locations, but plenty many of them, and nobody was
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: there to answer his call, and nobody wanted to show
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: them the inside of the facility. Now I get it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Somebody came to my facility and said, hey, do you
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: guys hate to have kids here?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Can I see?
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: I've probably punched them in the face and be like,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: if you want to see little kids, what are you sick?
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, get out of here.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Bro, And I would chase them off, but I understand
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: the need and the willingness to do that. You know,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: if you want to see the kids, you're going to
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: see them when they leave with their parents, and you
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: better keep your distance or I'm calling the cops. But
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: apparently no kids were ever leaving and no parents ever
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: came because there was nobody there to begin with. Everybody
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: seems to be in on the scam. This is the
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: problem that's got people in it's izzy, right. So you've
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: got this Nick Shirley. Now he's getting beaten up all
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: over the media.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: There.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: They're pushing back. They're calling him an islama phobe. They
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: are saying, you're doing this because you hate everybody because
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: you're just the worst that there is.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Tell the truth.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: You're doing this because we're Muslims, and he's saying, no,
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: it's not about that at all. Matter of fact, he
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: was on a podcast recently and he was discussing how
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: he really he's got nothing. He's got no dirt in
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: his closet where you can come and get him, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'll play that for you in a moment. But there's
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: something more pressing, which is now that these daycare centers
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: are under scrutiny. All of a sudden, out of nowhere,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: one of the daycare directors comes out and says, all right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: we're gonna have a press conference, and I'm here to
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: let you know that we no longer have the student's
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: enrollment records, we no longer have our payroll and employee
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: records that everybody wants to know about, because we were
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: robbed last night, thank you very much. And we were
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: robbed because of that guy, Nick Shirley, because he went
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: out there saying that we are defrauding everyone and that
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: if you just look at our books you would know
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: that we're lying. Well, guess what, I'm here to tell
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you that they stole our books.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Listen to this.
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: These people are like I saw something. Someone's calling me
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: like a PDF. They're seeing all these crazy allegations. I'm like, hey,
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: what sex for them is? They're never going to be
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: able to get me. I don't drink alcohol, I don't
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: do drugs. I'm a virgin. I don't have sex with
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: random girls. You're not gonna catch me on no sexual allegation, chargers.
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: I don't have any addictions. I don't have many vices.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: So where are these people going to get me before?
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, they're done? Religious?
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: I'm religious.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I believe in God. I'm everything they hate. So what
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: are they gonna get me for it? They can't get
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: me for anything, like.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: They're gonna make sure for my personal posit Right there,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: That is Nick Shirley. He's on with an Iranian immigrant,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Patrick Beck David on his podcast, The PPD Podcast, and
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: he's telling him that you can't get me on anything
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: because I've got no dirt, So.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Bring it right, bring it.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: But apparently they're in damage control, and like I said,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: they're saying that they've lost their papers conveniently, that they
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: were robbed.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Conveniently.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: This manager at the Nacomas daycare center in Minneapolis says
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: they got broken into.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: I think we have that clip lined up. Do we
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: go right ahead?
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: Yesterday morning I was called by the owner because unfortunately,
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: someone came in to our daycare. We looked and saw
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: what happened, and we saw that the suspect came in
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: from the back, broke in from the back kitchen, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: he also destroyed the wall to come in. As we
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: walked around the daycare, we saw that our office doors
• 20:31
  Speaker 9: was broken into us all.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: We saw that.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation enrollment of
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: the children and also employee documentation that was gone.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Held on a second unfortunately for who for me? Because
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: I want to know if you guys are defrauding the public. Clearly,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: this is not unfortunate for you because it seems like
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: a cover up in the making.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: There were also check books or ripped from our check
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: papers that were from our book. This is devastating news
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: and we don't know why this is targeting our so
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: all the community. As one video made by a specific
• 21:14
  Speaker 9: individual made this all happen. We've been receiving hateful messages
• 21:21
  Speaker 9: through our voice notes threatening us. In the past couple
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: of days, including one that happened yesterday morning, when the
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: breaking after the breaking. This is frightening and exhausting because
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: this is happening to us some all the communities, as
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: some all the Americans. We are supposed to stand with
• 21:41
  Speaker 9: each other and help each other.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: All right, he's standing, he's helping. Guess what.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Listen, people are going to be upset when they find
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: out that they've been ripped off. And the hubris here
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: is just palpable. I want to go to the phones.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Who do we have in the phone bank? Sir?
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: We have Sue in Schwanksville.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, it's my good friend, Sue in Schwegsville, Pennsylvania.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Sue, go for it. You're on with Richveld.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: Well, it's great to hear your boys on the radio again.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Buddy, Hey, hey, hey, how are you.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: I'm I'm surviving. It's cold out here.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Happy New Year to you, Sue.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: Happy New Year to you too. Anyway, the story I
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: have for you, it isn't a parent and child situation,
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: but it's my sister and myself. Okay, so we grew
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: up to your part. We were so tight we could
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: read each other's minds. You know. That's how yeah, and uh,
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: when Trump was elected the first time, she suddenly got
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: really cool with me and all that. I could tell
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: she didn't like my politics, because I'm very vocal about it,
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: as you know. Yeah, and so you know, every now
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: and then I would text her just to reach out,
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: try to keep that line of communication open and test
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: the waters and see if she was talking to me again.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: But you know, it's for the first four years of
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: Trump's administration and for all of Biden. No, she wasn't
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: warming up at all. And then when Trump got elected
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: the second time, she unfriended me on Facebook. Now she
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: lives in DC. She doesn't live anywhere near me.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: That's part of the problem.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so she unfriended me on Facebook, and it's like
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: she's a complete stranger to me.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Now, how long have you not talked to her?
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: Well, I've texted her here and there, but no, it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: in years.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: She isn't right back.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: She'll give me one word answers back or something like that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: So this is not like a family beef. This is
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: really she went hard left you. In her opinion, you're
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: a hard right fascist.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: And that's where this stems from exactly.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: In fact, one of my one of my other cousins
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: saw something she posted about she was so upset that
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Trump was elected she had to do something. So something
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: that she had to do was you know, to sun
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: her own closest family members, which I just don't get it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: I wasn't like that when Obama was in there. I
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: feel like she's entitled to her opinion, you know what
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: I mean. I'm like, yeah, I don't get it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, so here's what I've learned over the years.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: It's about the first point you made here, not the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: family part in life. There really are people that just
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: believe things that we don't believe.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So I can't imagine myself ever really being in a
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: situation where I think communism is great. And listen, my
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: parents were once ill. My mom was oxygen dependent and
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: there were different programs that she needed to make use of.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: But I look at that and I say, that is
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: what those programs are for, right, People who literally can't
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: do for themselves. But if you can do for yourself,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: you should want to do for yourself, right. I think
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: we have to have this type of pragmatic look at things.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: But there are people who think, you know, why would
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: I work. And I've seen these videos people coming into
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: this country, like from Venezuela saying why would I work
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: if we got idiot Americans that are willing to pay
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: taxes and they keep paying them when the idiot Americans
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: are willing to give me money to stay home.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Are all these people that are crying about their
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: snap been it's just going away goud Right. They all
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: have blue hair, they all have an eyepoll, they have
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: long tanger nails. They pay for all that stuff and
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: their whinian crying about how oh the texts are supposed
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: to take care of my kids? What am I going
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: to do now? Well, you're going to go to work
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: or you're going to stop buying all that other stuff
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: that you're wasting money on, you know.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: And that is such an interesting thing because you know,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: that's like a real world example of exactly what I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: talking about, this disconnect from reality in my opinion. Right,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: But I realized there's a lot of people. One of
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: them is very educated, the son of a professor. He's
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: now the mayor of New York City, Zara Mamdani. He
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: truly believes in collectivism. He thinks that this is the
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: way forward. He's a nipple baby himself. He now has
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: a government job. He's never really had a job before.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: In the job he had before this was also a
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: government job as an assemblyman. So he's never made a business,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: although his mom, I think, has a business and she's
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: very successful and made a lot of money. But fascinating
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: to me how you can come from a background like
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: that and where you you know, your mom.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Made millions making films, very entrepreneurial.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: There's no government there, and yet you're still here talking
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: about we need you know, we need to govern as
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: democrats socialists.
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: And he was living in a rent control department too.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Right, right, he's practicing what he preaches. He loves it.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I can't believe it. Well, you know,
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring up your your situation to Jill Robin Pain,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: who's joining me in the next at the bottom of
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: the hour, because I think too often we see this,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: and I never saw it as much as I did
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: over the holidays, where you know, it was like I
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: guess I had clicked on one video from a woman
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: named Tanya Khazal I think is her name, and she
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: is a person that did that to her mom. She
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: cut her mom off for eight years, and then one
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: day realized, I'm doing the devil's work. This is not godly.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I should not have ever done this. And now she
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: dedicates herself to counseling others on how to reconcile and
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: how your mom or dad is not the enemy and
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the root cause of every problem you have, even if
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: modern psychology is telling you that. And I found that
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: to be fascinating. So I started following her, and then
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: next thing you know, I got all these different videos,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: and one of them came my way from Oprah Winfrey,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Watched the entire episode of Oprah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: It might be the only time in my life I've
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: ever watched a one hour Oprah Winfrey episode, but I did,
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: and let me tell you, it was fascinating. She really
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: did have a very diverse panel on there. She had
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: a guy who, by my estimation, he might be a liberal,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: but in that setting, he was the most conservative there.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: He stood for family, he stood for making a reconciliation
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: with your children. He had a daughter that cut him
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: off and bought into this way of thinking. Then she
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: had the author of one of these books that tells
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: you it's okay to walk away from your family. And
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: then she had somebody that's even further to the left
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: than that psychologist, another one who's saying, look, if your
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: parents cause you problems and they're causing you a traumatic reaction,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: you need to cut them off. And I thought to myself,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: this is not good. And the three of them had
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: a very collegial conversation, and each of them made some
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: interesting points. I was mainly with the guy that I'm
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: labeling as the conservative, because he made the most sense
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: where at the end of the day, you're together with
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: your children. And most of the audience thankfully agreed, but
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: there were a couple of young people in the audience, soo,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh. One woman, she was proud. She's like, yep,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: it's been almost four years. I haven't talked to my mother,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: not even a text. And she was proud of this.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: And it graduated because obviously it sparks other problems where
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: your siblings will call, you may get an answer and uncle.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Hey you got to call your mom. What are you thinking?
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: What are you doing?
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: And then they get cut off, and as years go by,
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: you cut off more and more family. And she literally
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: with a straight face and a smile, said she was
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: probably like twenty five years old.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: She said, well, they said.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: How do you manage that without being with your family?
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: She said, well, I've made a new family. I have friends,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I have coworkers, I have pets now. And I thought,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: and she was so proud of that, and I was
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: literally like, you're laughing now. I was laughing and shaking
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: my head in sadness for her, because I thought, who
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: would want to replace their family with a bunch of strangers.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, jokingly, many many of us make I'll take
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: the strangers and the dog. But at the end of
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: the day, you know, if you're in a jam and
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: you got to bury a body, you know who you
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: got a call and it's not.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Strangers and the new dog. That's sure unbelievable.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Well, Sue, I appreciate the call. I'm hopeful to chat
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: with you again more. We do calls on the new
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: show as well, and I'm looking forward to it, and
• 29:55

• 31:20
  Speaker 4: If you're enjoying what you're hearing, I'd love to continue
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the conversation on video. We're doing a big announcement on
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: video in a couple of weeks, and I'd love for
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: you to be a part of it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I was scrolling.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: A big part of my day involves scrolling, typically for
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: news to find out what's going on in the world. However,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: every now and again you run into different things, things
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: that are kind of went off, things that affect our
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: real life, just like Sue and Schwanksville, Pennsylvania just talked
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: about when she was explaining about her falling out with
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: her sister over El Trompetos and all this. Magnus the
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: forty fifth president of these United States at presidenty and
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: he's also the forty seventh by the way, and wow,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just remarkable that you see so much
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: family estrangement, the estrangement of adult children, especially during the holidays.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: That's difficult. And I heard a clip from doctor Daniel Aman.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: He's a psychiatrist typically talking about ADHD and other brain issues,
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: but I thought it was interesting listen to.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: This garrantee In two words from a child psychiatrist, firm
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: and kind. If you just always think about those two words,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you're going to be a good parent. Kids named boundaries
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: and they need you to enforce them, but not with anger,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: not with madness, not with belittle men, with kindness. And
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: if you just think of the best coach you ever had,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: they noticed what you did right, and they taught you
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: when you needed to do better, notice what you did
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: right and they taught you. And then think of the
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: worst coaches you ever had, and they noticed what you
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: did wrong and belittled you.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Now that advice from doctor Daniel Aman is great, right,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: sound advice be be fair but kind right, accountability with kindness,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: And that sounds great. However, my parents didn't get that either, right.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: I didn't have that kind of upbringing. It was actually
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: the opposite. It was if you did something wrong, you
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: were belittled, and I never held them accountable.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I never said I'm leaving. I mean when it was
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: time to leave, I left.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: But maybe that's the issue, right, Maybe that's why kids
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: now stay with their parents it's well into their thirties.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: And I was, you know, on my own in the
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: world at eighteen. But I have some had some resentment
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: towards my parents, mainly until I had my own kids
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: and I realized, oh, I was a big part of
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: the problem, not them, but in in terms of you know, hey,
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: take out the garbage. Then you do it all, you know,
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: half hearted, and you know, you get a slick remark
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: like you know, what's wrong with you? You know, anything like that.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: You know, think of the old Italian parents saying what
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: do use do not? You know that type of thing,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: and that was normal, It was just normal. And today's
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: standard tells you that that normal was really us being
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: used to trauma and abuse.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: That this is abuse.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: And while it may be, and I don't mean to
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: trivialize abuse, but I can tell you I worked for
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: the State of New Jersey in the Department of Children
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: and Families, and that was not the standard for abuse
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: at the time.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Right, It wasn't abuse, it wasn't neglect.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Now, you could make the case over a prolonged period
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: of time of telling a kid, what are you stupid?
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with you? Saying that over and over and
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: over may affect him. I'm pretty sure it can and
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: it will. But I think everybody's heard a comment like
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: that in a moment of frustration from a parent, which
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: is probably one of the hardest jobs. But the bottom
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: line is, yes, be fair and be kind. But how
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: many of us have that experience. And maybe some of
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: you listening to me are saying, oh, my gosh, Rich
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: your parents were tyrants.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I can't believe they were so unkind to you. I
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: don't know. I think my parents were terrific.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: They did the best they could with what they had,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: which wasn't a lot, right, and we all have to
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: move forward in life. I think we're built, we're designed
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: to survive. Now, that doesn't mean everybody gets a pass,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: and if we can learn something from our mistakes, we should.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: And I think as my parents got older, they became
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: better and they raised my kids, you know, as grandparents
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: for the time that they were around them, if you
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: can call it raising them. But you know, they treated
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: my kids, I would say, better than they treated me,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: that's for sure, right, But they were older. They were older,
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: they were more tired, they had less energy to fight,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: and there was you know, it's a different world plus
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: they raised me, So I raised some pretty good kids
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: and they had, you know, less of a hard headed
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: little kid to deal with in my opinion. But all
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: of that being said, today's modern psychologists, at least some
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: of them, are out there saying that you've got to
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: cut off your parents if they are the source of
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: your pain, and don't talk to them, protect your peace.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Doctor Aman's advice was to be kind, but hold accountable,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: and it reminded me of a book by Jill Robin
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Pain where she talks about having banter with empathy, a
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: phrase she's coined called empathy. And she's written a series
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: of books of which I have all and they're very
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: good and I recommend them. But Jill Robin Pain is
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: with us right now, and I want to get her
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: take on the conversation we're having.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Jill Robin Pain, licensed psychotherapist.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Welcome, Hey Rich, how you doing. Happy New Year, Happy
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: New Year to you too. We're starting out good here
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: in Houston. Seventy degrees.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Look at you.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: I'm jealous flip flops and shorts if you give me
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: seventy degrees. So, Joe Robin Pain, there's a lot of
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: adult children that are now saying, look, I don't need it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I don't need you to be in my life if
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: you are giving me a hard time, if you were
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: going to say, what are you stupid? For some people,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: it's the exact opposite experience I had where I had
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: kids and gave my parents, my parents more grace. Some
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: people have kids and go, you know what, I don't
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: want my kids to grow up around these people because
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: these people are mean.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: What do you say?
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to say that this has been going
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: on since my thirty four year old was growing up.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: It started. So it is a cultural thing that we
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: are changing. A lot of our society on a whole
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: is taking away power from the parents, and it's very
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: important for parents to have have power. You could correctly
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: have power, because if you don't, then people aren't going
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: to uh, you know, the kids aren't going to They're
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: going to start taking an inch and then they take
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: a mile. And they need to know who is the
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: what is the word leader, not even the boss. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in my book, remember I have a leader, a follower,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: and a compromiser. Parents need to be the leader and
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: they need to write and they and what does a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: leader do? In my book, beacon looks like a lighthouse.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: They guide, they model, they enlighten, and that's what parents
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: are for. And what's happening in society is social media,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: the Internet, all of this is taking control away from
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: the parents. I'm going to tell you it started with
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: my son, because back then, children can call the CPS
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: on you if you spank them. And I even had
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: a friend of mine tell her kid, well, you go
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: ahead and do that, then you'll be in the system.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: That's fine with me. And so I think we need
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: to be more.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: FII Joe, I just want you to know that's exactly
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: what I told my kids. Yeah, I worked there and
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: at that time, and I told them, I said, listen,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: guess what happens, right, if you get any crazy ideas
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: you call them, they're taking you out of the house,
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: not me, And.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: You're going to go a liv bit poem, not me.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think we also need to be educated
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the concerns and it's not just me,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: it's that social media communication breakdown is happening where the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: screens are becoming the parents of the kids. And you're
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: going to see this and I'm not saying what we're
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: talking the studies are showing one in four families have
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: a strange individual from family members. So I mean it's
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: not everybody. We just need to look around. You'll see
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: little kids in restaurants. Parents are on their phones, and
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: you'll have kids on some device. And so we need
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: to just do more of face to face and show
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: the kids that we are their model, their leader. And
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: if they have questions, of course, remember we had an
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: interview and I said family meetings. We need family meetings
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: where people right, where people connect. So there's a big disconnect,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: and I tell my clients the answer is not blocking.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: The answer is not ghosting. The answer is bantering, bantering
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: back and forth, and that builds connection and then get
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: to know the person, start listening, looking and seeing what's
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: going on. And remember we talked about you don't have
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: to like your boss to get along with them. And
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: so what's happening in our generation because we've gone from
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: focusing on the importance of family and the responsibility of
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: taking care of parents and so forth, as we've gone
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: more to individualism and of course, well we have algorithms.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I'm right, you're wrong. I mean, it's a great day
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: when I'm on the Internet, Everything that comes to me
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: is all about Jill. So, yeah, we need to be
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: educated on this. And I really feel bad. It is
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: on the rise, and I think that I don't know
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: if you remember, and I think it was nineteen, it
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: was around twenty twenty two. Narcissistic parents.
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: It was a big thing. Oh yeah, you remember that.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: It became a thing.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: It started with parents and it went to boyfriends and
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: girlfriends and if anybody don't like, you're a narcissist.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. And it got me so.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: And I do remember it happened to me.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: And I was actually interviewing a lady who wrote a
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: book on narcissism at the time, and I told her
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: about what.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: Was going through.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's wild. And so I even did a
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: little snippet on the difference is there's something called ecocentric,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: which is from Pja and he was a theorist on children,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: and this happened. This happens with kids from two to seven,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: and you remember that age where it's all about them.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: They do the peekaboo thing and they can only see
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: their point of view, and then there's egocentric where you're
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: you know, you're fabulous, it's all about you. Narcissism is
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: a little bit more in depth, where it's they know
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: what they do, they're doing, they're manipulating the situation, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's a very small percentage of our population,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: so we just we didn't need to go to psychologists, psychiatrists,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: psychotherapists to find out what really is happening when it's
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: something emotional or psychological.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: J Robin Pain.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: There's so many people listening right now that may either
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: have a friend or a family member. I mean, just
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: moments ago, I was tea this upcoming segment and one
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: of my longtime callers, Sue from a Shanksville, Pennsylvania, called
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: in and said that her family estrangement was with her
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: and her sister, that her sister stopped talking to her
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: because she's pro Trump and the sister is not, and
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: and even made a post saying, look, sometimes when you
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: have people who are part of the problem, you have
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: to do something about it. And what she decided to
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: do about it was stop talking to her sister. And
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: when you see this answer right now, I've had this
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: problem with your profession for quite some time in that
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: I think, and it's not personal to you right. It's
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: just a critique on those that side with.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Separation. Right.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I think separation can be therapeutic at times, but I
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: don't think the answer is, Oh, you and your wife
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: don't get along, You guys should get a divorce. Oh
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: you don't like your parents. Oh they you know, they
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: said you didn't clean your room and you need to
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: do better. Well, that's abuse, And I'm trivializing something that's
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: a little more complicated, but I'm doing it for the
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: sake of saying there. There's a whole school of thought
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: out there, and there's books that are talking about protecting
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: your peace at all costs, and they recommend as a
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: last alternative, cutting these people off. Now I understand that
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: that's always a risk, you know, consideration. But the last
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: thing in the world I'm going to do, Joe Robin
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Vain is call you and agreed to pay your fee
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: per hour to end up just stopping talking with.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Everybody, right, and then we've become isolated, which is a
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: lot of what's happening. So I don't, you know, I
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: don't talk like that. So I would tell people that first,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: to look at the whole picture. I tell people, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: it depends that they've been sexually abused, emotionally abused, right
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: because a crime involved, Right, how is it affecting their life?
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: What really happened? And even I like kids to know
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: both parents because they need to know where they come from.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: So if someone is abusive, I'd like them to be
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: if they are have someone with the child at the time,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: so they at least or at a later date in
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: their life. People need to know where they come from.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: And as I have friends that have had children just
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: break off from them, and I tell them, one, be patient, rich,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: be patient, and I say, be consistent. Now that we
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: have texting, it's so wonderful. You can text people just
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: say hi, thinking of you don't expect anything to come
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: and and just sort of wait it out. Also a
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: mindset knowing that this is going to work out. This
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: is what I tell people, because if you have hope,
• 45:47
