- 0:35Speaker 3: blocks away from Madison Square Garden here in Times Square
- 0:38Speaker 3: in New York City. Happy to be with you this evening,
- 0:42Speaker 3: wonderful Tuesday night, wonderful audience, and I'm glad that you're
- 0:45Speaker 3: joining us on our late night national town hall conversation.
- 0:48Speaker 3: If you want to join us and give me your opinion,
- 0:50Speaker 3: give me a call. Eight seven seven Valdez one, eight
- 0:53Speaker 3: seven seven eight twenty five thirty three seventy one. And
- 0:58Speaker 3: I want to start with Justice Clarence Thomas and his
- 1:02Speaker 3: ninety one page dissent on the biggest case of the
- 1:06Speaker 3: year coming out of the Supreme Court, the birthright Citizenship case.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Of course, this is a case that was challenged right.
- 1:13Speaker 3: President Trump said, look, we have a misinterpretation of the
- 1:19Speaker 3: fourteenth Amendment. People that are here on vacation, people that
- 1:23Speaker 3: are here illegally, like they cross the border pregnant, and
- 1:28Speaker 3: the babies born here, they are not entitled to the
- 1:31Speaker 3: United States citizenship. Seemed reasonable to me. But there were
- 1:36Speaker 3: some people saying, no, absolutely not. They sued the President.
- 1:39Speaker 3: It went all the way to the Supreme Court, and
- 1:41Speaker 3: the Supreme Court came back saying if they're in the
- 1:45Speaker 3: country when they're born, they are entitled to citizenship. So
- 1:52Speaker 3: big blow to stopping birth tourism and a bunch of
- 1:57Speaker 3: other things that are going on. And Justice Clarence Thomas,
- 2:02Speaker 3: the guy is a g in my opinion, right, he's
- 2:04Speaker 3: one of the best out there. And I got a
- 2:07Speaker 3: clip of him. Let me see where that clip is, Guys,
- 2:11Speaker 3: pull up that clip. I want everybody to hear it
- 2:14Speaker 3: because he makes a very very good case about standing
- 2:18Speaker 3: up for America. Because if we don't stand up for America,
- 2:22Speaker 3: we're going to lose America. Let's go to the tape.
- 2:27Speaker 4: I think if we don't stand up and take ownership
- 2:30Speaker 4: of our country and take responsible for it, we are
- 2:33Speaker 4: slowly letting others control how we think and what we think.
- 2:38Speaker 4: The I think the beauty of going to school is
- 2:41Speaker 4: that you learn how to think for yourselves. You develop
- 2:44Speaker 4: the discipline to think things through you. If you think
- 2:49Speaker 4: it's losing confidence, then you get up and you participate.
- 2:53Speaker 4: You don't sit on the sidelines. You think that the
- 2:57Speaker 4: that the state is being run in consistent with how
- 3:00Speaker 4: you feel, then you get up and you participate. You
- 3:03Speaker 4: prepare yourself. If you think that the medical profession is
- 3:08Speaker 4: not right, when you become a doctor or be a
- 3:10Speaker 4: medical person and you deal with that. I think we
- 3:15Speaker 4: need to take ownership of our country. It's our country.
- 3:20Speaker 4: I think if we don't stand up and take ownership
- 3:23Speaker 4: of our country and take responsible for it, we are
- 3:26Speaker 4: slowly letting others control how we think and what we think.
- 3:31Speaker 4: The I think the beauty of going to school is
- 3:34Speaker 4: that you learn how to think for yourselves, You develop
- 3:37Speaker 4: the discipline to think things through you. If you think
- 3:42Speaker 4: it's losing confidence, then you get up and you participate.
- 3:45Speaker 4: You don't sit on the sidelines. You think that the
- 3:50Speaker 4: that the state is being run and inconsistent with how
- 3:53Speaker 4: you feel. Then you get up and you participate. You
- 3:56Speaker 4: prepare yourself. If you think that the medical professes is
- 4:01Speaker 4: not right, wouldn't you become a doctor, be a medical person,
- 4:05Speaker 4: and you deal with that. I think we need to
- 4:09Speaker 4: take ownership of our country.
- 4:11Speaker 3: It's our country, right, it is our country. Justice Clarence
- 4:18Speaker 3: Thomas not lyon, not one bit there. And he wrote
- 4:22Speaker 3: this ninety one page descent on this opinion because the
- 4:27Speaker 3: Supreme Court dropped the ball on this birthright citizenship case.
- 4:30Speaker 3: And let me tell you, Ed trumpeto den all this
- 4:32Speaker 3: magnus the forty fifth and forty seventh president of these
- 4:35Speaker 3: United States, Ed President Donald J. Trump, he tried to
- 4:39Speaker 3: slam the door on this birth tourism racket, but the
- 4:43Speaker 3: majority on the court said, bim Beny, though right, welcome
- 4:48Speaker 3: to the loopholes. Meanwhile, birth tourism keeps rolling like a
- 4:52Speaker 3: conga line at a you know, at King Sennette, if
- 4:55Speaker 3: you will, that that seems to never end. And here
- 4:58Speaker 3: we are us, as Thomas laid it out, crystal clear
- 5:02Speaker 3: that this wasn't the Fourteenth Amendment original intent. It was
- 5:10Speaker 3: originally intended to secure rights for freed black Americans after
- 5:14Speaker 3: the Civil War, not handing out citizenship willy nilly all
- 5:18Speaker 3: over the place, you know. And this is it's upsetting
- 5:24Speaker 3: because Trump usually does well with the Supreme Court, but
- 5:28Speaker 3: in this one, not him doing well. We all lost
- 5:32Speaker 3: on this one.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Right.
- 5:34Speaker 3: Just imagine how people would stop coming to this country illegally,
- 5:39Speaker 3: illegally if they knew if they have the baby in
- 5:45Speaker 3: the United States, they're not going to be granted citizenship.
- 5:49Speaker 3: They'd have to be here on some sort of visa
- 5:51Speaker 3: or work visa, something different, right, even maybe even a vacation,
- 5:56Speaker 3: because that would be somehow legal if we would let
- 6:00Speaker 3: a pregnant woman in. But no, I'm talking about you
- 6:05Speaker 3: cross the border here. Hey, by the way, I'm here,
- 6:07Speaker 3: run to the emergency room. Have your baby's American now,
- 6:11Speaker 3: because you have an American baby. You're filing a petition
- 6:14Speaker 3: so that you can raise a child here in America.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Now you're an American. The next one's in America, and
- 6:18Speaker 3: everybody's applying for citizenship or at least residency. And again,
- 6:22Speaker 3: this is not me being against immigration. This is a
- 6:27Speaker 3: big loophole that people have used for a long time.
- 6:29Speaker 3: That I feel is unsustainable. It's very different than coming
- 6:34Speaker 3: here on a plane. Right, You come here on a plane,
- 6:38Speaker 3: You're like, oh, what a nice place. Then you meet somebody,
- 6:41Speaker 3: you fall in love with, Prince Charming, and you guys
- 6:44Speaker 3: get married, and now you become an American. Okay. That's
- 6:47Speaker 3: very different than coming across the border just to have
- 6:51Speaker 3: a baby. And that is a thing. And I'm not
- 6:54Speaker 3: even talking about Central America, South America, Hispanics and none
- 6:58Speaker 3: of them. I'm talking about the Chinese. The Chinese run
- 7:01Speaker 3: these large birth tourism businesses and then once the kid
- 7:07Speaker 3: is born here, they go back to China and they
- 7:09Speaker 3: are farming. They're literally growing a group of people that
- 7:12Speaker 3: they know can vote in this country for what purpose,
- 7:16Speaker 3: maybe to swing elections, maybe to have some sort of
- 7:18Speaker 3: additional influence. This isn't about paying their bills. All that's
- 7:25Speaker 3: gone to hell now, So what are you gonna do?
- 7:29Speaker 3: Not good anyway, Justice Thomas, I think he said the
- 7:35Speaker 3: right thing. He said that this ruling devalues American citizenship.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Repurposing the Amendment for the question that they have is
- 7:45Speaker 3: not what Congress ever imagined. And he's right. The jurisdiction
- 7:50Speaker 3: in this situation. It talks about more than just being
- 7:56Speaker 3: on American soil. We have a constantution in this country,
- 8:02Speaker 3: not necessarily a backdoor that's wide open for everyone in
- 8:06Speaker 3: the world to walk through. So tough, right, tough, tough Anyway,
- 8:11Speaker 3: Now we're heading into Independence Day weekend and it's hot,
- 8:15Speaker 3: which I like. I'm not complaining one hundred and one
- 8:17Speaker 3: degrees one hundred and two degrees ninety five degrees on
- 8:20Speaker 3: a cool day. Heat waven full effect. You got to
- 8:23Speaker 3: stay hydrated, you got to blast at ac and if
- 8:25Speaker 3: you're firing up your grill, remember flip those burgers like
- 8:28Speaker 3: you flip the script on bad policy. Because we're celebrating freedom,
- 8:32Speaker 3: We're not melting into the sidewalk, at least not today. Now,
- 8:35Speaker 3: on a brighter note, I was out there today at
- 8:40Speaker 3: the Barrett Media Summit right here in New York City.
- 8:42Speaker 2: What a day one.
- 8:44Speaker 3: They had so many really really great colleagues of mine
- 8:47Speaker 3: in this business that we do. Great executives drop in
- 8:50Speaker 3: real wisdom for this industry that we all love. So
- 8:54Speaker 3: I want to give big congrats to my man sid Rosenberg,
- 8:57Speaker 3: my former WBC radio colleague, on his induction to the
- 9:01Speaker 3: New York Radio Hall of Fame well deserve. My brother
- 9:04Speaker 3: Curtis Slieba was on deck as always, never disappointing, keeping
- 9:07Speaker 3: it real and energetic. And Steven A. Smith Stephen A. Smith,
- 9:12Speaker 3: the Man says he wants to debate the next slate
- 9:16Speaker 3: of presidential candidates, but doesn't want to run for president himself.
- 9:20Speaker 3: I think that's a smart move because he makes a
- 9:24Speaker 3: lot of money doing what he does right talking about sports,
- 9:27Speaker 3: given commentary, on social commentary and stuff like that. But
- 9:32Speaker 3: I don't think you get to be on that debate
- 9:33Speaker 3: stage with the candidates if you're not a candidate, unless
- 9:36Speaker 3: you're a moderator. So will Stephen A. Smith become a moderator?
- 9:40Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 9:41Speaker 3: I'd love to see it. I find him incredibly entertaining.
- 9:43Speaker 3: I think whether I agree with him or not is
- 9:45Speaker 3: a secondary right. But when I had him on the show,
- 9:47Speaker 3: he's a very entertaining guy. He's fun to listen to.
- 9:51Speaker 3: I think he is a knowledgeable guy. Whether you know
- 9:54Speaker 3: I agree with his positions on things or not. I
- 9:57Speaker 3: think he's looked at both sides and he he's analyzed
- 10:00Speaker 3: them and he's picked one. That's what I do. I
- 10:03Speaker 3: don't you know, I'm not always looking to have a
- 10:05Speaker 3: fight for the sake of fighting, so I think he
- 10:08Speaker 3: would be really good at this. But anyway, that's what's
- 10:12Speaker 3: going on. Shout out to Jason Barrett, by the way
- 10:13Speaker 3: for putting on an amazing summit, very very good. And
- 10:16Speaker 3: there was a lot of people there, a lot of
- 10:17Speaker 3: great executives from all over from all the big companies.
- 10:20Speaker 3: It was really nice. I met my successor over on
- 10:25Speaker 3: the Late night show and a nice guy, very nice guy,
- 10:29Speaker 3: and a lot of people, a lot of people. Heather
- 10:31Speaker 3: Cohen was there. Shout out to Heather, and anyway, I
- 10:34Speaker 3: wanted to continue because there's a few things right. There's
- 10:38Speaker 3: also this story that I saw about fighting aging. This
- 10:44Speaker 3: was on Brett Bear's show. I think I might have
- 10:47Speaker 3: talked about it the other day, but I never got
- 10:48Speaker 3: to the audio. Fighting aging in particular. They're using it
- 10:54Speaker 3: to cure different health ailments. But they found a particular
- 10:58Speaker 3: health challenge that they were able to fight aging and
- 11:02Speaker 3: reverse the aging and heal this particular ailment. So I
- 11:07Speaker 3: want to get into that as well, plus any of
- 11:09Speaker 3: your thoughts, calls, and opinions. If you guys want to
- 11:11Speaker 3: get in on the program.
- 11:12Speaker 2: You know what to do.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Eight seven seven vel desk one and that's all I
- 11:16Speaker 3: got Right now. I'm gonna come right back. I'm gonna
- 11:18Speaker 3: jump into everything. Don't go anywhere. I'm rich Valdez.
- 11:20Speaker 1: This is America, this is America. He's brown, he's bald,
- 11:41Speaker 1: and he's breaking it down.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Oh he's still had some what's his name.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Rich Valdez?
- 11:47Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, welcome back, rich Valez. Keeping a company tonight.
- 11:52Speaker 3: And I want to jump into Melat Kiro's who is that?
- 11:56Speaker 3: What is that? What's going on? Well? Melat Kiros, if
- 12:00Speaker 3: you don't know already, as a twenty nine year old
- 12:04Speaker 3: Democrat socialist from Denver, Colorado, pulling off a political earthquake.
- 12:11Speaker 3: She just flattened the establishment out there after shocks are
- 12:14Speaker 3: still heading straight through Washington. She's pulled off this massive upset,
- 12:21Speaker 3: dethroning Diana to get in the Democratic primary now to
- 12:25Speaker 3: get as obviously not a moderate, she's been a progressive
- 12:28Speaker 3: fixture in that seat since nineteen ninety seven. But get this,
- 12:33Speaker 3: that's the exact same year Kiros was born. Talk about
- 12:37Speaker 3: changing of the guard. So who's the new darling of
- 12:40Speaker 3: the radical left? Well, Kiros was born in Ethiopia. She
- 12:43Speaker 3: came to America as a baby and actually lived the
- 12:46Speaker 3: American dream. She became a high flying corporate securities lawyer,
- 12:49Speaker 3: but then she got fired from a big time Manhattan
- 12:51Speaker 3: firm for launching public attacks against Israel. Instead of learning
- 12:55Speaker 3: a lesson, she doubled down, embraced the fringe, and became
- 12:59Speaker 3: a card carrying, unapologetic democrat socialist. And this is what
- 13:03Speaker 3: she credits her campaign with. And for I mean, it's
- 13:07Speaker 3: quite remarkable. I got a little bit from her acceptance speech.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Let's roll that tape.
- 13:15Speaker 6: I want to tell you something about why this campaign matters,
- 13:19Speaker 6: because it matters for what comes next. When I wrote
- 13:23Speaker 6: a letter defending students' rights to protest the genocide and Gaza,
- 13:28Speaker 6: my law firm, my law firm told me take it
- 13:32Speaker 6: down or you're fired.
- 13:35Speaker 7: I didn't flinch.
- 13:37Speaker 5: I didn't flinch because I stood by.
- 13:40Speaker 6: Every word and I always will. But I know, I
- 13:48Speaker 6: know that will not be the only moment where those
- 13:51Speaker 6: in power will tell me to change.
- 13:54Speaker 8: My tune, to not rock the boat.
- 13:57Speaker 6: That seems to happen a lot in Congress. But here
- 14:00Speaker 6: in Denver, we stand by our values and we stand
- 14:05Speaker 6: with our community. We are days away from embarking on
- 14:17Speaker 6: the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of
- 14:20Speaker 6: this country. I've been thinking a lot about what that means.
- 14:25Speaker 6: The promise is made, the promise is unfulfilled. That this
- 14:30Speaker 6: country belongs to everyone.
- 14:31Speaker 9: Who loves it and what it stands for, not just
- 14:35Speaker 9: the people born here, not just the people who look
- 14:38Speaker 9: a certain way, but everyone who believes that democracy it's
- 14:43Speaker 9: worth defending.
- 14:46Speaker 3: You know, I gotta give a lot of credit to
- 14:49Speaker 3: these people. They are very good at this, right, Conservatives
- 14:54Speaker 3: we walk around saying we the people, government of forum
- 14:57Speaker 3: by the people, and they go ahead and they take
- 14:59Speaker 3: that same rhetoric and it's not rhetoric, right, it's fact,
- 15:03Speaker 3: and they say that this is our country, everybody who's here,
- 15:07Speaker 3: but they expand it.
- 15:08Speaker 6: Right.
- 15:08Speaker 3: They don't care if you're a citizen. They don't care
- 15:10Speaker 3: about a lot of things. They're like, if you're here,
- 15:12Speaker 3: we're celebrating this belongs to us, whose streets are streets,
- 15:15Speaker 3: whose streets are streets, Because in many ways, the populist
- 15:20Speaker 3: on the left and the populist on the right are
- 15:22Speaker 3: you know, separated by very little when it's usually something social. Now,
- 15:28Speaker 3: the constitutional conservative, I think is rooted in the law
- 15:33Speaker 3: and in preserving tradition. Whereas the populist, whether on the
- 15:39Speaker 3: right or on the left, they want to change the
- 15:41Speaker 3: status quot. They don't want to go back so much
- 15:44Speaker 3: to the time that was good. They want radical change. Right,
- 15:47Speaker 3: some of my friends on the right they want a
- 15:50Speaker 3: and I'm not saying this is wrong. I'm just telling
- 15:52Speaker 3: you they don't want the status quot. They don't want
- 15:54Speaker 3: to maintain anything. They're not trying to conserve something. They're
- 15:57Speaker 3: trying to replace something. And many of them are happy
- 15:59Speaker 3: to burn down the country. We have to rebuild it
- 16:01Speaker 3: the way they want it. In many ways, they're no
- 16:03Speaker 3: different than the left in that regard. Right or as me,
- 16:07Speaker 3: I like the system we have. I think it has
- 16:10Speaker 3: good bones, and if we can get something that will
- 16:14Speaker 3: make it better, like to save ACT or something like that,
- 16:16Speaker 3: the strengthen the elections great. But I don't want to
- 16:20Speaker 3: tear down America. I don't want to see America completely redone.
- 16:24Speaker 3: I'm not one of these people that believes that we
- 16:26Speaker 3: have to break it and rebuild it. Not at all.
- 16:30Speaker 7: She is.
- 16:31Speaker 3: She is one of these people, and she thinks that
- 16:35Speaker 3: America's never met its goal, it's never kept its promise.
- 16:43Speaker 3: And ay, I would say, I'm offended, but I'm more hurt.
- 16:47Speaker 3: I feel badly for someone that came from Ethiopia because
- 16:49Speaker 3: I'll tell you who hasn't done it. Her home country
- 16:52Speaker 3: of Ethiopia hasn't done it. But she would argue, they've
- 16:56Speaker 3: never claimed they were the best country in the world.
- 17:00Speaker 3: And this is what happens. People come here and they
- 17:02Speaker 3: experience a little bit of the American dream, and when
- 17:05Speaker 3: it's not as much as they'd like, they find issue,
- 17:09Speaker 3: they take umbrage, and this is where the disdain becomes.
- 17:14Speaker 3: One of my mentors, the great one, Mark Livin, would
- 17:16Speaker 3: say the hate America first crowd go right ahead, and
- 17:20Speaker 3: that every person is deserving a dignity. See now she's
- 17:26Speaker 3: saying nice words, platitudes, fun things, but she's screaming at
- 17:29Speaker 3: the top of her lungs with an angry scowl on
- 17:32Speaker 3: her face. For why, For what, I don't know, other
- 17:36Speaker 3: than to get people angry. She's trying to tap into emotion.
- 17:46Speaker 3: And I just want you to say, I'm watching the
- 17:47Speaker 3: video of this. There's people around her, cell phones out
- 17:51Speaker 3: and on the podium in front of her, there is
- 17:54Speaker 3: a cardboard cutout of Bernie Sanders's face wearing a mask. No, lie,
- 18:01Speaker 3: I kid you not. That's something right, that ended. So
- 18:08Speaker 3: now she doesn't just stop there, right, because she's still
- 18:12Speaker 3: at it right. She is the new darling of the
- 18:18Speaker 3: radical left. And she was born in Ethiopia. She came
- 18:22Speaker 3: to America as a baby. She lived the American dream,
- 18:24Speaker 3: like I told you. Now, how does a kid fresh
- 18:28Speaker 3: out of the corporate world beat a thirty year incumbent. Well,
- 18:32Speaker 3: I would say that's refreshing to know that you can.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Right.
- 18:34Speaker 3: That means the American system is working. I don't think
- 18:39Speaker 3: that we should question why she won. I know why
- 18:42Speaker 3: she won. People are broke right now. I know that
- 18:47Speaker 3: the economy is better than it was under Biden. But
- 18:50Speaker 3: I'm not talking about that. We were broke then too.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Nobody expected things to be better. They expected to be
- 18:58Speaker 3: in a fire and die right when Biden was there.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Now we're like, we're in a fire. We're expecting that
- 19:03Speaker 3: fireman to come through, and it's Donald Trump and he
- 19:05Speaker 3: takes off that fire helmet and he's like, I'm here
- 19:07Speaker 3: to save you. Folks. Don't worry. We're gonna have a
- 19:10Speaker 3: huge GDP. You're gonna have the lowest taxes ever. Right,
- 19:14Speaker 3: people are hopeful for what's gonna happen. So that's how
- 19:20Speaker 3: she wins, and she taps into that deep anti establishment
- 19:24Speaker 3: rage that's brewing in the Democrat Bay. He's her platform,
- 19:27Speaker 3: the usual radical wish list, passing medicare for all, completely
- 19:31Speaker 3: defunding an abolishing eyes, a total military embargo in Israel,
- 19:35Speaker 3: and sticking to what she calls the oligarchy. Now, I'm
- 19:38Speaker 3: gonna tell you these are not just Marxist ideas that
- 19:43Speaker 3: they think sound good. These are the ideas they continue
- 19:47Speaker 3: to test and test and test, and they realize if
- 19:51Speaker 3: we run on these issues, we're going to win. Because
- 19:55Speaker 3: you know why, we could sit here all day long
- 19:58Speaker 3: and talk about a lot of different things, but most
- 20:01Speaker 3: people don't want to pay for health insurance and most
- 20:04Speaker 3: people would like to get it for free. Now, I'm
- 20:08Speaker 3: not going to tell you that I'm advocating for that
- 20:10Speaker 3: Medicare for all. I'm not I advocate for what Trump
- 20:15Speaker 3: was advocating for, where he said, you know, you could
- 20:17Speaker 3: buy a plan in any state and take it with you.
- 20:20Speaker 3: You don't have to be stuck with one thing. If
- 20:24Speaker 3: you don't like it, you can just get it somewhere else.
- 20:26Speaker 3: When you open up competition, you'll get a better plan.
- 20:29Speaker 3: I think that's true. Doesn't need to be tied to
- 20:32Speaker 3: your employer, and if it is, you should still be
- 20:34Speaker 3: able to take it with you without having to go
- 20:36Speaker 3: through Cobra. But they know that that's way too much
- 20:41Speaker 3: to explain, and the easier thing to explain is something
- 20:44Speaker 3: everybody knows, Medicare. You know what your grandmother has, you
- 20:47Speaker 3: should have that too. So your grandmother's skipping any doctor's
- 20:50Speaker 3: appointments or any prescriptions. Probably not why because Medicare still works,
- 20:55Speaker 3: works for them, and it could work for you.
- 20:58Speaker 4: So great.
- 20:59Speaker 3: The thing work Medicare for all is something that you
- 21:02Speaker 3: could sell and a lot of people will buy. Even
- 21:05Speaker 3: some of the most conservative might buy it. And that's
- 21:09Speaker 3: a fact. What else she also ran on, let me
- 21:15Speaker 3: see defunding and abolishing ice. They do this for many reasons.
- 21:22Speaker 3: One for their ideological idea that we should erase borders.
- 21:25Speaker 3: We should be a borderless society. We should be like
- 21:27Speaker 3: Europe where you can just take a train from France
- 21:30Speaker 3: to London to this to that that. There should kind
- 21:32Speaker 3: of like driving from New York to New Jersey. They
- 21:35Speaker 3: believe you should go country to country, and this is
- 21:38Speaker 3: their belief. And I will argue, and I will say,
- 21:44Speaker 3: why don't we have a train like the one they
- 21:46Speaker 3: have in Europe? Train costs, I don't know, twenty bucks
- 21:53Speaker 3: or something like that go to a whole other country.
- 21:56Speaker 3: I think I spent seven bucks. I went from one
- 21:58Speaker 3: country to another or the border. It really isn't expensive.
- 22:06Speaker 3: I take a train to Washington, d C. It's three
- 22:09Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars. If I take the express it's
- 22:12Speaker 3: kind of insane. And their trains are nice as nice
- 22:17Speaker 3: or nicer than our trains. And the train stations that
- 22:20Speaker 3: I went to looked nothing like the MTA, looked nothing
- 22:24Speaker 3: like a subway. I didn't see any homeless people. I
- 22:27Speaker 3: didn't see trash on the floor. It didn't smell like
- 22:29Speaker 3: marijuana or you're in now. This is not a commercial
- 22:33Speaker 3: for tourism in France or Switzerland or wherever I was
- 22:36Speaker 3: on the train. This is a point that if the
- 22:39Speaker 3: Europeans can do it, we can do it too, And
- 22:42Speaker 3: why aren't we when we have so much more tax revenue.
- 22:47Speaker 3: I mean, we're going to be paying taxes and people
- 22:49Speaker 3: are going to make that argument to me, what do
- 22:51Speaker 3: you want paid? You don't want paved roads. You're going
- 22:54Speaker 3: to force me to pave my road, police force me
- 22:57Speaker 3: to have a train. That's really cool, so I could
- 22:59Speaker 3: take a train to California that's really quick and very affordable.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I don't understand why the Europeans have that and we don't,
- 23:07Speaker 3: well rich because they pay seventy percent of taxes. Maybe
- 23:10Speaker 3: that's why, well, guess what many people are approaching fifty
- 23:16Speaker 3: I'm just saying, and we don't have that. So I'm
- 23:19Speaker 3: not saying we need to copy Europe. I'm just saying
- 23:24Speaker 3: there are certain things that make sense. You know, I've
- 23:27Speaker 3: been hearing about high speed high speed rail tunnels from
- 23:30Speaker 3: New Jersey to New York. What's up with the high
- 23:35Speaker 3: speed rail from New York to lax right?
- 23:38Speaker 7: I mean?
- 23:39Speaker 2: Is it just me?
- 23:41Speaker 3: Anyway? My point is when you tell people these things,
- 23:45Speaker 3: you know, there's nothing sinister in having advanced infrastructure that
- 23:50Speaker 3: gets you places. It's a good thing, not a bad thing.
- 23:54Speaker 3: So if that's part of your campaign, you know, running
- 23:57Speaker 3: on being healthy, running on being able to afford your lifestyle,
- 24:03Speaker 3: who in their right mind is going to fight against
- 24:05Speaker 3: that unless they're reading between the lines and are saying, listen,
- 24:09Speaker 3: mister or missus socialist, that doesn't work because we don't
- 24:14Speaker 3: have the money to fund these projects. All right, then
- 24:17Speaker 3: that's a conversation we should have. But quite frankly, most
- 24:22Speaker 3: people are gonna hear that and go, yeah, I want
- 24:24Speaker 3: that because those things make sense, right, And I'm not
- 24:29Speaker 3: an advocate of medicare for all, but I also I'm
- 24:32Speaker 3: smart enough for I guess fair enough if that works
- 24:36Speaker 3: to listen to an argument as if I didn't have
- 24:39Speaker 3: my own political opinion, and say, if I grab a
- 24:41Speaker 3: twenty year old, which I've had at two different times
- 24:44Speaker 3: in my life, My kids were twenty two different times,
- 24:47Speaker 3: and we're to ask them, you know what, what kind
- 24:48Speaker 3: of challenges are you're facing? Or you know what's how
- 24:51Speaker 3: could I help fix something in life? So those are
- 24:54Speaker 3: some of the things they face. Affordability, you know, getting
- 24:58Speaker 3: a job that will make that he's my own kids,
- 25:01Speaker 3: many people's kids. I get people my age in their
- 25:03Speaker 3: late forties that have kids, you know, late twenties, twenties,
- 25:07Speaker 3: some even in their thirties, and they're like, you know,
- 25:10Speaker 3: my kid is a good kid. They went to school,
- 25:12Speaker 3: they did whatever, but they just can't find the right job,
- 25:15Speaker 3: you know, Or they have a job but they don't
- 25:17Speaker 3: make enough money to live away. They can't leave home
- 25:21Speaker 3: like we did when we were eighteen. And that's a fact.
- 25:24Speaker 3: And I was just talking to one of my favorite guests,
- 25:27Speaker 3: Nick Jordano, the professor from Long Island, and he was saying,
- 25:32Speaker 3: look for most kids that are twenty or twenty two,
- 25:34Speaker 3: it's difficult. And that's true, it is, but it is
- 25:38Speaker 3: definitely more difficult now than it was before. So that's
- 25:42Speaker 3: all I'm saying. The free market isn't being very free
- 25:45Speaker 3: right now, and as a result, people are feeling the crunch.
- 25:49Speaker 3: And because they're feeling the crunch, when you get a
- 25:52Speaker 3: smiling or angry person that's saying, shouldn't you be able
- 25:55Speaker 3: to afford whatever? Shouldn't you be able to have universal
- 25:59Speaker 3: health care? You can go get a job. Guess what
- 26:04Speaker 3: you expect them to go? No, I shouldn't do that.
- 26:06Speaker 3: I should quit my job, live in poverty and take
- 26:09Speaker 3: care of my own kid. I mean, good luck if
- 26:11Speaker 3: you think that's what they're going to say. Most people
- 26:12Speaker 3: aren't going to say that. I might have said that,
- 26:15Speaker 3: you might have said that, but most people aren't going
- 26:17Speaker 3: to say that, because most people do want a good
- 26:20Speaker 3: quality of life. Most people do want to earn the
- 26:22Speaker 3: best and the most that they can, and they don't
- 26:25Speaker 3: want to live in poverty for the sake of their
- 26:27Speaker 3: political ideology. And this is why the rage in Cagun
- 26:31Speaker 3: was right when he said it's the economy stupid. That's true.
- 26:36Speaker 3: So going back to Melatkiros, she doesn't like Israel, and
- 26:45Speaker 3: the Republican strategists are sounding the alarm, and of course
- 26:48Speaker 3: they're right. The squad is expanding, The anti Semites in
- 26:52Speaker 3: the squad are growing. This is not a New York
- 26:56Speaker 3: or California problem. And I've been saying it for a
- 26:59Speaker 3: long time. It's coming to a neighborhood near you. Trust me,
- 27:05Speaker 3: trust me, and if you don't trust me, don't trust me.
- 27:09Speaker 3: Just keep your eyes open because soon somebody's going to
- 27:12Speaker 3: be in your neighborhood and they're going to be coalescing
- 27:14Speaker 3: people and they're going to tell, hey, this is unaffordable.
- 27:17Speaker 3: We need to make this more affordable. Period the end.
- 27:21Speaker 3: I was talking with a socialist the other day, you know,
- 27:24Speaker 3: debating some of the facts, and like many of them
- 27:28Speaker 3: do he starts with, Look, this belongs to us, we
- 27:30Speaker 3: the people. The hospitals back in the seventies were owned
- 27:35Speaker 3: by the county. There were county hospitals everywhere we went,
- 27:40Speaker 3: and now they're almost all big government, big corporate entities.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Now he and I are obviously on two different sides
- 27:48Speaker 3: of the fence here, and I was trying to be
- 27:49Speaker 3: compassionate with him quite frankly and let him know that, listen,
- 27:55Speaker 3: this is not the case. You don't want the government
- 27:58Speaker 3: in charge. I don't want my county government in charge
- 28:00Speaker 3: of my hospital. I don't want my city government, my
- 28:04Speaker 3: federal government in charge of the hospital. I want the
- 28:06Speaker 3: private industry because they're going to give me the best service.
- 28:09Speaker 3: They're the ones that operate on the guidelines and principles
- 28:12Speaker 3: of the free market. They want to stay afloat, and
- 28:16Speaker 3: to me that matters. Now, of course, there's going to
- 28:18Speaker 3: be some instances where they're going to make a case
- 28:21Speaker 3: and say, oh, because they it's all about dollars and cents,
- 28:24Speaker 3: not about the caducious, not about the hippocratic oath. Okay, listen,
- 28:28Speaker 3: I get it. You can find unscrupulous people no matter
- 28:31Speaker 3: where you go. But you can also find anything run
- 28:34Speaker 3: by the government and pretty much submit that it sucks.
- 28:38Speaker 3: The government is not great at administering anything. I don't
- 28:41Speaker 3: think they ever have been, and I don't think they
- 28:43Speaker 3: ever will be. Some governments may be better. Look at
- 28:46Speaker 3: Trump fixing all these beautification product projects in the capital city. Fantastic.
- 28:53Speaker 3: They're reflecting pool and whatnot, building a ballroom. That's nice,
- 28:57Speaker 3: but it's a rarity. You don't see that all too often.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Got Mellette heroes and again she's basking in the glory
- 29:04Speaker 3: of this election. Win, big, big win, power to the people.
- 29:08Speaker 3: She's really excited, and she's talking about beating Trump, bringing
- 29:15Speaker 3: it to Trump, fighting Trump. This is all about getting
- 29:19Speaker 3: a trumpito and check this out.
- 29:21Speaker 8: We will not wait to take.
- 29:23Speaker 6: The fights to Donald Trump and Alla guarky. We will
- 29:27Speaker 6: not wait to abolish ice and pass medicarepro We will
- 29:32Speaker 6: not wait to put an end to the politics of
- 29:35Speaker 6: the past.
- 29:36Speaker 10: To get big money out of our.
- 29:38Speaker 9: Politics, and to reject corporate packs and a pack and no,
- 29:43Speaker 9: we will not wait to end.
- 29:44Speaker 6: The genocide in Palestine.
- 29:47Speaker 11: I want you all seriously look at each other.
- 29:50Speaker 9: How the people here are strangers to you all?
- 29:53Speaker 6: Just months ago you didn't know them, but now you
- 29:57Speaker 6: have comrades.
- 30:00Speaker 11: That is a movement.
- 30:01Speaker 3: Need I say more comrades? She has sipped not just
- 30:05Speaker 3: the Marxist kool aid, the Stalinist kool aid. She believes
- 30:08Speaker 3: in the hammer, she believes in the sickle. She thinks
- 30:10Speaker 3: that's the winning ticket. And let me tell you if
- 30:14Speaker 3: capitalism doesn't start capitalizing right, if we are not. I
- 30:18Speaker 3: can tell you this my own life. When I was
- 30:23Speaker 3: sixteen and a half, my brother encouraged me to expand
- 30:28Speaker 3: a hobby that I started in my dad's apartment of
- 30:32Speaker 3: pretending I knew how to cut hair. I started with
- 30:34Speaker 3: my friends. People liked what they saw and they started
- 30:36Speaker 3: asking me if I could do it. And I started
- 30:38Speaker 3: doing the underground barbershop business in my bathroom after school
- 30:42Speaker 3: as a teenager, illegally cutting people's air. And it wasn't
- 30:46Speaker 3: so much for the sake of a haircut. It was
- 30:47Speaker 3: more for like, you know, people that wanted designs carved
- 30:49Speaker 3: into their head. I was pretty artistic, so I could
- 30:52Speaker 3: do those types of things. And then it developed, you know,
- 30:56Speaker 3: people were like, can you actually give me like a haircut?
- 30:57Speaker 3: Like I could go to my family's wedding or anniversary
- 31:00Speaker 3: and you know, you know me. Yeah, And if I
- 31:03Speaker 3: don't know how figure it out, we have YouTube. Back
- 31:06Speaker 3: then we only had encyclopedias and my ADHD mind which
- 31:11Speaker 3: I could lock in on things. And it's just like
- 31:14Speaker 3: so I would start paying a lot more attention at
- 31:16Speaker 3: my barber and willa and that built me a clientele
- 31:19Speaker 3: of probably about one hundred clients. And then I went
- 31:22Speaker 3: to school. Point was I started making money when I
- 31:24Speaker 3: was really young. I had a business that was operable
- 31:27Speaker 3: and profitable, and my brother loaned me some money. I
- 31:30Speaker 3: brought into the existing lease of a hair salon where
- 31:34Speaker 3: they were having some problems and the guy was thinking
- 31:36Speaker 3: of going out of business, and at worked he sold
- 31:39Speaker 3: me the business. And here I was owing my brother
- 31:41Speaker 3: for the capitol I borrowed to buy the business. I
- 31:43Speaker 3: think I was eight. It was sixteen or fifteen thousand dollars.
- 31:46Speaker 3: I basically took over a lease and bought some equipment.
- 31:49Speaker 3: The guy lamentably had a substance abuse problem, and eventually
- 31:55Speaker 3: he succumbed to his addiction and died. He didn't fulfill
- 31:59Speaker 3: his end of what he had to do for me,
- 32:01Speaker 3: which was serve as the shop manager. Because I didn't
- 32:04Speaker 3: have a license to cut hair. I was just the owner.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Think of it as an investor. Anyway. I found myself
- 32:09Speaker 3: at like sixteen al seventeen owning this shop, and I
- 32:12Speaker 3: sent myself to the Hudson County Vocational Technical School where
- 32:17Speaker 3: I learned. I took the cosmetology course to hone my
- 32:20Speaker 3: haircutting skills and learned how to do women's hair and
- 32:24Speaker 3: coloring and all sorts of things in that cosmetology course, massage, paddicure,
- 32:29Speaker 3: I mean, they cover everything. But bottom line was going
- 32:32Speaker 3: off here. I had this business, and I was seventeen
- 32:35Speaker 3: and then eighteen and then ninety, I was a teenager.
- 32:38Speaker 3: I was making I don't know, profiting good money. You know,
- 32:41Speaker 3: our annual revenue is probably fifty thousand dollars a year.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Back in the late nineties, I lived at home. Is
- 32:47Speaker 3: my point. This was what I did. It was a
- 32:50Speaker 3: thing that I could do. I rented a storefront. I
- 32:52Speaker 3: had to expand the business. I did that. I did
- 32:55Speaker 3: all that's not possible today because rent back then was
- 32:59Speaker 3: seven hundred dollars and a haircut was ten dollars, and
- 33:02Speaker 3: it's not really commensurate today. The rent is way higher.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Young people don't have the same opportunities. I think the
- 33:09Speaker 3: barbershop market is a little oversaturated now. I think there's
- 33:13Speaker 3: room for everybody. But again I'm belaboring the point. The
- 33:16Speaker 3: point here is that I don't see every kid having
- 33:19Speaker 3: that opportunity. It wasn't anything special about me. It was
- 33:22Speaker 3: something special about the time that people were making money.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Houses were cheap, very cheap. Houses that are selling today
- 33:29Speaker 3: for eight hundred K. We're selling for one hundred and
- 33:32Speaker 3: ninety nine thousand, one hundred eighty five, two hundred on
- 33:34Speaker 3: an expensive day. Around two thousand and one, two thousand,
- 33:38Speaker 3: they started going up two twenty five, two fifty, and
- 33:40Speaker 3: they just kept going up. Real property started to appreciate
- 33:44Speaker 3: very quickly, and it still is. So what's the bottom
- 33:47Speaker 3: line here? The bottom line for me is this, If
- 33:49Speaker 3: people aren't living that same type of American dream where
- 33:53Speaker 3: they can do that what I did and not have
- 33:55Speaker 3: to worry about their next whatever, and they're able to
- 33:57Speaker 3: support themselves and their family, and they don't have to
- 34:00Speaker 3: roommate everywhere because they can afford their own apartment, then
- 34:04Speaker 3: we're good. But I don't think rent is ever going
- 34:06Speaker 3: to go down. Right When people I live in New
- 34:08Speaker 3: York City. Oh, it's sixty nine hundred dollars a month.
- 34:10Speaker 3: It's fifty eight hundred dollars a month. It's thirty five
- 34:13Speaker 3: hundred dollars a month for a one bedroom. When you
- 34:15Speaker 3: have that type of thing going on, you're not going
- 34:17Speaker 3: to see the level of success that I was able
- 34:20Speaker 3: to see as a young man. And my children aren't
- 34:21Speaker 3: going to see that. If they're pulling up to a
- 34:23Speaker 3: job straight out of college and they're making forty eight
- 34:26Speaker 3: to fifty sixty seventy thousand, they're lucky right working their
- 34:29Speaker 3: way up to the six figure job. Not everybody's getting
- 34:32Speaker 3: out of school and getting a six figure job. I'd
- 34:34Speaker 3: hate to be the bearer of that bad news, but
- 34:36Speaker 3: that's not the case. I'll give you a little more news.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Not everybody in America is making six figures. The national
- 34:43Speaker 3: average on income is sixty two thousand. That means there's
- 34:46Speaker 3: a whole mess of people making forty eight, and yeah,
- 34:49Speaker 3: many of them live around here. I know a lot
- 34:51Speaker 3: of people. I know a guy who's a supervisor in
- 34:53Speaker 3: a hospital probably makes fifty grand, works really really hard,
- 34:56Speaker 3: and he lives in a family home that they own
- 34:59Speaker 3: out right otherwise, So I doubt he has to pay
- 35:01Speaker 3: anything towards anything there. Otherwise he probably wouldn't survive ensuring
- 35:05Speaker 3: a car, owning a car, and paying for housing on
- 35:08Speaker 3: the East Coast. So again, my point is we just
- 35:11Speaker 3: have to go up. The economy has to shift or
- 35:14Speaker 3: this affordability message that the left is bringing will continue
- 35:19Speaker 3: to work. That is the point that I'm making. This
- 35:22Speaker 3: has nothing to do with Trump. I think Trump has
- 35:26Speaker 3: done a lot to kickstart the economy, and he's doing
- 35:29Speaker 3: more every day. Every day I passed the gas station,
- 35:32Speaker 3: I see it going down ten cents, fifteen cents, ten cents,
- 35:34Speaker 3: fifteen cents every day, and went from four dollars in
- 35:37Speaker 3: something since about eight or nine days ago to three
- 35:40Speaker 3: fifty today. Good, all good things. Anyway, I don't want
- 35:45Speaker 3: to be labor that point, but I want to say,
- 35:47Speaker 3: these democrats, socialists are going to continue to chip away
- 35:52Speaker 3: at every chink in our armor. If they see a
- 35:55Speaker 3: way in, they're getting in. And if people can't refute
- 35:58Speaker 3: this and say no, no, no. This year in a summerhouse,
- 36:01Speaker 3: This year, I helped my kid with a down payment.
- 36:03Speaker 3: This year, we're hearing less and less stories like that.
- 36:07Speaker 3: We're gonna hear more and more stories like melott kiros
- 36:10Speaker 3: AOC Mom, Donnie and Daria Lisa here in New York.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere.
- 36:16Speaker 2: This is America. This is America.
- 36:41Speaker 3: President, Dona fake Trump, mister President. Welcome to the program Sir.
- 36:45Speaker 2: Well, thank you, rich and thank you for everything.
- 36:47Speaker 5: I know you very well and I have I listened.
- 36:49Speaker 5: But I have a lot of people that listen and
- 36:52Speaker 5: they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.
- 36:55Speaker 12: Other news, we're learning new details tonight about a groundbreaking
- 36:59Speaker 12: new clinical trial underway right now that aims to cure
- 37:03Speaker 12: vision loss by reprogramming cells to act younger. If it works,
- 37:08Speaker 12: then treatments to reverse aging elsewhere in the body could
- 37:10Speaker 12: soon become reality. Here's correspondent Alexandri Hoff.
- 37:15Speaker 11: Maybe the eyes aren't the instructions that DNA provides, allowing
- 37:20Speaker 11: cells to remember how to function as they once did.
- 37:23Speaker 11: Life Biosciences co founder doctor David Sinclair writes this clinical
- 37:28Speaker 11: study represents the first opportunity to test whether restoring that
- 37:31Speaker 11: information can ameliorate human disease. If the current trial proves
- 37:35Speaker 11: R one hundred is safe and effective, scientists will likely
- 37:39Speaker 11: jump to find where else in the body. It could work.
- 37:41Speaker 10: We're now entering an era where lifespan may begin extending
- 37:45Speaker 10: longer than our horizon's imagine nineteen ninety five, one hundred
- 37:48Speaker 10: and twenty one thirty, where at some point we say, huh,
- 37:52Speaker 10: are we the first generation who aren't going to die?
- 37:55Speaker 2: That's a question.
- 37:55Speaker 11: Tech entrepreneur and longevity advocate Brian Johnson has dedicated his
- 37:59Speaker 11: life to others are catching on. Last September, Russian President
- 38:03Speaker 11: Vladimir Putin, through his translator, was her discussing his interest
- 38:07Speaker 11: in biohacking with Chinese President Hi Jinping. The Wall Street
- 38:10Speaker 11: Journal now reports that Putin has embarked on a twenty
- 38:14Speaker 11: six billion dollar quest for longevity, with Russian scientists actively
- 38:18Speaker 11: working on developing three D printed organs and treatments to
- 38:21Speaker 11: reverse cellular decline.
- 38:24Speaker 13: Now, this current trial for ER one hundred is small
- 38:27Speaker 13: on purpose so participants can be closely monitored. To this therapy,
- 38:30Speaker 13: It's injected directly into the eye. It's later activated by
- 38:34Speaker 13: a course of antibiotics which served like an on and
- 38:36Speaker 13: off switch Brett for this treatment.
- 38:39Speaker 3: All right, that report from the Fox News channel, And
- 38:42Speaker 3: what's interesting here is again this was announced in January,
- 38:45Speaker 3: but the first patient was dosed very recently, and that's
- 38:48Speaker 3: why we're talking about this now anti aging, right, reversing
- 38:53Speaker 3: age or aged cells, reversing cellular aging in your eyeball
- 39:00Speaker 3: to restore your vision is the first step, and that
- 39:03Speaker 3: does have an FDA approval for a trial. Question is,
- 39:08Speaker 3: like Alex Hoff mentioned, was will we be able to
- 39:12Speaker 3: use that on other parts of the body. Well. The
- 39:15Speaker 3: scientist that she mentioned here doctor Daniel Sinclair. This guy
- 39:20Speaker 3: is a Harvard guy and he spoke at the World
- 39:24Speaker 3: Government Summit and sounds a little bit like one of
- 39:28Speaker 3: these World Economic Forum people. But maybe that's just me
- 39:31Speaker 3: lacking originality, if you will, or lacking imagination, I should
- 39:36Speaker 3: say better. It just seems so kind of sinister, right,
- 39:41Speaker 3: But I want you to hear this clip that I've
- 39:43Speaker 3: got of doctor Sinclair from Harvard, because he's seeing way
- 39:51Speaker 3: down the block and around the corner on this issue.
- 39:54Speaker 3: It's a short clip but it has some music behind it,
- 39:57Speaker 3: so don't get distracted by that. But this is a
- 40:00Speaker 3: doctor Sinclair from Harvard who is a leader in this
- 40:05Speaker 3: type of thing. They're saying they can now reverse aging
- 40:08Speaker 3: by seventy five percent in six weeks based on some
- 40:12Speaker 3: of the cells that they've treated. Listen to this today.
- 40:17Speaker 7: Is that next month we're going into human clinical trials
- 40:21Speaker 7: to test for the first time in history, whether we
- 40:25Speaker 7: can reverse the aging process and cure diseases. We can
- 40:30Speaker 7: tackle aging because we now believe we understand why we age,
- 40:34Speaker 7: and it's not wear and tear. It's not that we
- 40:36Speaker 7: just wear out like a car. Our bodies are not
- 40:40Speaker 7: like cars. Our bodies are more like computers that can
- 40:44Speaker 7: be programmed and reprogrammed and rebooted to be young again.
- 40:49Speaker 7: We are like computers, not machines. One analogy and hopefully
- 40:55Speaker 7: you all remember what a compact disc is. We think
- 40:59Speaker 7: aging is like scratches on a CD. The DNA is
- 41:06Speaker 7: the music, so we get beautiful music when we're young,
- 41:09Speaker 7: but when we get old, we cannot read the beautiful music.
- 41:12Speaker 7: Our cells do not read the DNA correctly, so the
- 41:15Speaker 7: cells they become lost, they become confused, and our old
- 41:21Speaker 7: cells do not make the right proteins and they get diseases.
- 41:25Speaker 7: This we believe is aging. But what's amazing is we
- 41:29Speaker 7: found that you can polish the CD. You can get
- 41:31Speaker 7: rid of the scratches and rejuvenate cells, so they're young again.
- 41:37Speaker 7: And to put another way, you can reinstall the software
- 41:40Speaker 7: of the body so they're young again. We can quite
- 41:43Speaker 7: literally in my lab reverse the age of cells and
- 41:48Speaker 7: of very complex organs and tissues, including the eye the
- 41:53Speaker 7: most complex, and the brain. We can reverse aging by
- 41:57Speaker 7: seventy five percent in six weeks. We actually were able
- 42:02Speaker 7: to show that using this method we could cure blindness
- 42:07Speaker 7: in animals. For the first time, we could cure blindness.
- 42:11Speaker 7: And the world reported just last week that the US
- 42:16Speaker 7: FDA regulatory body cleared the way for the first age
- 42:22Speaker 7: reversal human trial.
- 42:25Speaker 12: It's a big deal.
- 42:25Speaker 7: The FDA is very supportive and we will know this year,
- 42:30Speaker 7: maybe in the next few months if age reversal work.
- 42:34Speaker 3: We're going to know if age reversal works. Again. Pardon
- 42:37Speaker 3: the suspenseful, suspenseful music, but wow, this is pretty interesting stuff, right,
- 42:43Speaker 3: reversing aging by seventy five percent and six weeks. Again,
- 42:47Speaker 3: these are on the cells in the eye that they
- 42:49Speaker 3: were working on. But irrespective of that giving people their
- 42:53Speaker 3: site back. He's saying, curing blindness. This is a big deal.
- 43:00Speaker 3: I think this is a huge deal. So I'm very
- 43:04Speaker 3: I'm curious to learn more about this, because I think
- 43:06Speaker 3: anti aging is one of those things that I don't
- 43:09Speaker 3: know if I like the term anti aging or longevity better,
- 43:12Speaker 3: but I think it's important, right, good health, living long,
- 43:15Speaker 3: living well, living healthy. This opens the door to new things, right,
- 43:22Speaker 3: And something happened this week? Was it this week? Let
- 43:26Speaker 3: me see? Now it two three weeks ago? But this
- 43:32Speaker 3: first of it's kind shot and this is the one
- 43:35Speaker 3: I'm talking about, This epigenetic reprogramming, this technique that the
- 43:39Speaker 3: doctor was just talking about that kind of trains your
- 43:43Speaker 3: aging cells to act young again. Well, on Tuesday, the
- 43:49Speaker 3: biotech startup Life Bioscience is in Boston. They announced that
- 43:54Speaker 3: their first patient had been dosed. And again, that is
- 43:57Speaker 3: what we're talking about here. And this is interesting, right
- 43:59Speaker 3: because you got billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Sam Altman,
- 44:02Speaker 3: as well as pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Mark They've
- 44:05Speaker 3: all been increasingly investing in this idea, which until now
- 44:09Speaker 3: have been relegated to mouse and monkey research. But now
- 44:13Speaker 3: we've got a human and an FDA approval, and that's
- 44:16Speaker 3: a big deal, first human trial. So how is it
- 44:21Speaker 3: that we're going to improve our DNA as we age?
- 44:24Speaker 3: And should we be doing it, right. I think that's
- 44:26Speaker 3: the other question. I think some people think, well, if
- 44:28Speaker 3: you get cut, you put a band aid. This is
- 44:31Speaker 3: a new type of band aid, right, It's a lot
- 44:33Speaker 3: more complex. Some people will look at this and say
- 44:36Speaker 3: they're playing god. And I don't know if I'm one
- 44:38Speaker 3: of them yet or not. I don't know. I think
- 44:40Speaker 3: this seems like something worth experimenting with. I think blindness
- 44:44Speaker 3: is something we should definitely try and help people with.
- 44:47Speaker 3: I saw a video the other day. You've probably all
- 44:49Speaker 3: seen if you have social media, of a baby when
- 44:52Speaker 3: they put a co clear implant on him. That's the
- 44:55Speaker 3: device that allows him to hear. And I'm talking about
- 44:57Speaker 3: a baby. Here's a year old if that eight nine months, cute,
- 45:01Speaker 3: little chubby little boy, and you could see his face
- 45:05Speaker 3: light up, and it says the moment he could first
- 45:07Speaker 3: hear his mom. And I mean, it's the type of
- 45:09Speaker 3: stuff that I'll bring a tear to your face. So
- 45:12Speaker 3: this is I think a good thing, right, talking about
- 45:17Speaker 3: reversing glaucoma and many other issues, fantastic, Right, Who doesn't
- 45:23Speaker 3: want to do that? The question is do we.
- 45:28Speaker 10: Do?
- 45:29Speaker 3: Is there a line?
- 45:30Speaker 7: Right?
- 45:30Speaker 3: Is there an ethical line that we should or shouldn't cross.
- 45:34Speaker 3: I don't know, and I want you to let me know.
- 45:36Speaker 3: The phone number eight seven seven VALDESK one eight seven
- 45:39Speaker 3: seven Valdesa one if you want to, you know, chime in,
- 45:42Speaker 3: sound off, share your opinion. But something that I did
- 45:47Speaker 3: want to talk about before I wrap this up is
- 45:50Speaker 3: something else, right, something else that causes aging, and that's
- 45:56Speaker 3: dealing with difficult people. Dealing with difficult people. People don't
- 46:00Speaker 3: realize it, but it might be doing more than just
- 46:04Speaker 3: stressing you out. This is another report. This is from
- 46:07Speaker 3: Fox five in Atlanta, A least eighty's check this one
- 46:11Speaker 3: out and.
- 46:11Speaker 8: In your life, they might be doing more than just
- 46:13Speaker 8: stressing you out. They could actually be aging you. A
- 46:16Speaker 8: new study finds that dealing with hasslers, people who create
- 46:19Speaker 8: conflict or make life harder, may speed up biological aging.
- 46:23Speaker 8: Researchers say each extra difficult person in your life could
- 46:26Speaker 8: add about one and a half percent to your aging rate.
- 46:29Speaker 8: That's roughly nine extra months.
- 46:31Speaker 3: Hold on a second, you will get you will lose
- 46:34Speaker 3: nine months of life for every difficult person that's in
- 46:38Speaker 3: your life. Is that what I heard to your?
- 46:41Speaker 8: Biological age experts say chronic stress is the culprit, affecting
- 46:44Speaker 8: everything from your immune system to your disease risk, and
- 46:47Speaker 8: the biggest impact often from people you can't.
- 46:50Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm just gonna look nine months older, not
- 46:52Speaker 3: lose nine months of life.
- 46:54Speaker 8: Got it an easily avoid like family members and co workers.
- 46:58Speaker 3: It's kind of hard to avoid family members and coworkers,
- 47:01Speaker 3: right or am I wrong here?
- 47:02Speaker 8: So the takeaway here is you don't have to cut
- 47:04Speaker 8: people off, but setting boundaries and managing stress can help
- 47:07Speaker 8: protect your health. You short of download box local for
- 47:10Speaker 8: live streaming news.
- 47:11Speaker 3: And mores, I'm not downloading that today, but I'll let
- 47:14Speaker 3: the producers do that. But you know what's interesting here
- 47:18Speaker 3: about this is that this should be a no brainer, right.
- 47:22Speaker 3: You want to live life good, don't beat your head
- 47:24Speaker 3: against the wall. And if that's what it feels like
- 47:26Speaker 3: when you're dealing with certain people, you want to, you know,
- 47:29Speaker 3: work go around that. Now, I get it. Sometimes it's
- 47:32Speaker 3: a spouse, sometimes it's a parent, sometimes it's a child
- 47:36Speaker 3: or someone else, a boss, But eventually those things work
- 47:40Speaker 3: themselves out. At least it's been my experience. You know,
- 47:43Speaker 3: nothing is forever, and I hold on to that. So
- 47:47Speaker 3: let me know what's worse here violating ethical standards, playing
- 47:51Speaker 3: god and trying to engineer one's DNA so they don't
- 47:55Speaker 3: get old, or just trying to preserve whatever good DNA
- 47:58Speaker 3: you have by prune certain relationships from your life from
- 48:01Speaker 3: those difficult people that are aging you. I want to
- 48:04Speaker 3: know your thoughts on this and everything else that we're
- 48:06Speaker 3: talking about. Eight seven seven Valdez one, keep it locked
- 48:09Speaker 3: right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
- 48:11Speaker 2: This is America. This is America.
- 48:29Speaker 1: He's making podcasting great again.
- 48:31Speaker 2: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 48:42Speaker 3: All right, Femdia, welcome back, turn it up. We are
- 48:45Speaker 3: locked in live late night with me here at Liberty,
- 48:50Speaker 3: Loving Latino. Amigo. Some of you will call me El
- 48:53Speaker 3: Macho from time to time, as my dad called me
- 48:55Speaker 3: growing up. El Macho is what I call myself because
- 49:02Speaker 3: because well I can anyway. Wild week and it's only Tuesday.
- 49:07Speaker 3: The story in Connecticut wild one. Check this out. I
- 49:12Speaker 3: set my truck crashed and spilled an entire sea of
- 49:16Speaker 3: beer across the highway. That's funny, thousands of cans just
- 49:22Speaker 3: bathing in the asphalt. The state troopers had to put
- 49:24Speaker 3: out a public notice stanking drivers for their patients. And
- 49:27Speaker 3: I'm thinking patients. Man, Imagine how many of these people
- 49:31Speaker 3: stuck in that traffic wouldn't want to like, just, you know,
- 49:33Speaker 3: open up the door, lean out, grab one of those
- 49:35Speaker 3: bottles rolling across the asphalt. Thank you, googoog, look glick clip.
- 49:38Speaker 3: I mean it's hot out here. I'm not a big
- 49:40Speaker 3: beer guy, or even a small beer guy. I don't
- 49:42Speaker 3: like beer period. I drink one beer and I look
- 49:45Speaker 3: pregnant and I'm a little rotund as it is to
- 49:48Speaker 3: begin with, so I can't afford to drink beer. More
- 49:52Speaker 3: of a wine guy, you know. I don't know if
- 49:54Speaker 3: that's sophisticated or or I don't know, but anyway, I'm
- 49:59Speaker 3: never patient when it comes the road. I want to
- 50:00Speaker 3: be patient, but I need to be a little bit better.
- 50:05Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people were probably looking
- 50:06Speaker 3: for a line and a little salt, or maybe a
- 50:08Speaker 3: shaker cup with ice, frozen mugs something with all the
- 50:12Speaker 3: beer those flying around. Now, speaking of hitting the road
- 50:15Speaker 3: and living that free, open highway kind of lifestyle, let's
- 50:19Speaker 3: talk about what President Trump just signed. Right, he just
- 50:22Speaker 3: signed the big Freedom to Fix Executive Order. Now this
- 50:27Speaker 3: is a big deal, I think because people need to
- 50:31Speaker 3: fix their cars. Check this out well, thank you very much.
- 50:34Speaker 5: We have a big ruling that we're just issuing now.
- 50:38Speaker 5: It's a I think it's very important. Going to lower
- 50:42Speaker 5: the price of your car. Is going to lower the
- 50:44Speaker 5: price of fixing your car, has to do with affordability,
- 50:49Speaker 5: has to do with a lot of things. You know,
- 50:51Speaker 5: oil prices are way down. We hit sixty nine dollars today.
- 50:55Speaker 5: It was higher than that prior to the denuclearization of
- 50:58Speaker 5: around fight that we have which would do you very well.
- 51:02Speaker 5: There'll be a meeting on that tomorrow and do Ha
- 51:06Speaker 5: and going to Katar. I think they've already left or
- 51:10Speaker 5: they're just about getting ready to leave, so we'll see
- 51:13Speaker 5: how that goes. But we're doing very well on that front.
- 51:15Speaker 6: But the.
- 51:17Speaker 5: Meeting in Doha is going to be perhaps important, perhaps not,
- 51:23Speaker 5: we'll find out. But we're winning militarily. It's almost one militarily,
- 51:29Speaker 5: i would say, and it's really very simple. It's the
- 51:33Speaker 5: deed nuclearization of Oren. We don't want them to have
- 51:36Speaker 5: a nuclear weapon, and they're not going to have a
- 51:37Speaker 5: nuclear weapon, and they've agreed to that.
- 51:39Speaker 2: No fans.
- 51:40Speaker 5: This is something that's very exciting to me. And if
- 51:45Speaker 5: you bring the bill, and I'm gonna let Lee explain
- 51:48Speaker 5: exactly what it means. But it means a lot to
- 51:51Speaker 5: have people that own vehicles, cars in particular, but cars
- 51:55Speaker 5: and anything else. It's going to save a lot of
- 51:58Speaker 5: money and they're gonna be able to do please.
- 52:01Speaker 14: As a president, this is a presidential memo to the
- 52:04Speaker 14: Environmental Protection Agency, a presidential memo supporting the freedom to fix.
- 52:09Speaker 14: Americans have the freedom to fix their vehicle. President Trump
- 52:13Speaker 14: insists upon it. We are not going to be going
- 52:16Speaker 14: after people who are fixing their own vehicle like past
- 52:20Speaker 14: administrations have. Additionally, we've been concerned. President Trump has been
- 52:24Speaker 14: concerned about after market parts, cheap, knockoff after market parts
- 52:28Speaker 14: coming into the United States, harming small businesses, harming Americans.
- 52:33Speaker 14: This presidential memo puts an end to it. Also, the
- 52:36Speaker 14: only third party certification for these after market parts, it's
- 52:39Speaker 14: Kart in California, a process that's backlog and faulty. So
- 52:44Speaker 14: we're going to break that monopoly and no longer will
- 52:47Speaker 14: Kart be the only third party certifier for these after
- 52:50Speaker 14: market parts. Again, President Trump is insisting on fixing it.
- 52:54Speaker 3: This presidential memo does that well. I think this is
- 52:56Speaker 3: fantastic news because oftentimes you look for a car online.
- 53:00Speaker 3: Let's say you find an aftermarket and it's not even
- 53:03Speaker 3: that cheap. Why because of its restrictions in California, saying
- 53:07Speaker 3: you can't get this in California. You can buy it
- 53:09Speaker 3: in some other places, but you can here because their
- 53:13Speaker 3: regulations are so difficult, which is why I makes trucking
- 53:17Speaker 3: more expensive and everything else. So instead of helping people,
- 53:21Speaker 3: they're helping themselves with all these fees and all this
- 53:25Speaker 3: excessive government. So right now, what they're trying to do
- 53:28Speaker 3: is break this bottleneck that's caused by this one organization
- 53:31Speaker 3: called carb CARB, the California Air Resources Board, and they're,
- 53:38Speaker 3: like you heard in the clip, that's the primary body
- 53:41Speaker 3: that certifies after market emissions parts. And I know a
- 53:45Speaker 3: couple of years back, I had to my truck has
- 53:49Speaker 3: two catalytic converters. I bought one online for three hundred bucks.
- 53:53Speaker 3: I found a deal on any Bay. Wasn't oem it
- 53:56Speaker 3: was an aftermarket part, but a really recognized brand that
- 53:59Speaker 3: makes reputable aftermarket catalytic converters. So I said, hey, what that,
- 54:05Speaker 3: let's go for it as an older car. I got it,
- 54:09Speaker 3: and I got it installed relatively cheap, and I think
- 54:12Speaker 3: I was in and out at six hundred and fifty
- 54:15Speaker 3: bucks between the part and the welding to install it
- 54:18Speaker 3: at the local muffler place, and every quote i'd gotten
- 54:22Speaker 3: to fix that was two thousand and eighteen hundred. I
- 54:26Speaker 3: mean there's a lot of money. So what this does
- 54:29Speaker 3: is it makes that even more accessible, more options on
- 54:34Speaker 3: these catalytic converters that don't have to go through carb
- 54:39Speaker 3: per se what else. Oh, And the way they're going
- 54:41Speaker 3: to do that is using the USPA SEMA, the Specialty
- 54:45Speaker 3: Equipment Market Association, to act as an independent certification body.
- 54:49Speaker 3: This will allow aftermarket manufacturers to get their budget friendly
- 54:52Speaker 3: parts approved even faster, expanding the supply of cheap alternatives
- 54:56Speaker 3: to OEM parts for all Americans. I think that's a
- 55:00Speaker 3: good thing and I'm all for it. Now I want
- 55:02Speaker 3: to switch gears a little bit and bring it back
- 55:04Speaker 3: to the Barrett conference that I was at Barrett Media.
- 55:08Speaker 3: I think it's called the Barrett Audio Summit. It was
- 55:10Speaker 3: an interesting time, a lot of great people, and I
- 55:13Speaker 3: probably said that already, but I wanted to kind of
- 55:16Speaker 3: double down on that, because not only do you get
- 55:19Speaker 3: to see some of your old friends and all that stuff.
- 55:21Speaker 3: But it was in the Big Apple. It was at
- 55:24Speaker 3: the School of Visual Arts Theater, the SVA Theater and
- 55:28Speaker 3: what a time. Seriously, what are room? Steven A. Smith
- 55:31Speaker 3: rock in the stage on that first day giving some
- 55:35Speaker 3: sound advice about you know, when you cut through some
- 55:38Speaker 3: of his bravado and some of his grandiosity, there is
- 55:42Speaker 3: some straight shooter, humble advice there that is good not
- 55:46Speaker 3: only for people that are working broadcasting, but I think
- 55:49Speaker 3: for people anywhere that want to expand their horizon. He
- 55:53Speaker 3: was very positive, he was very forward thinking. He was
- 55:57Speaker 3: He made a lot of sense, and I think we've
- 55:59Speaker 3: got a clip of it. Listen to this.
- 56:01Speaker 15: Everybody's definition of a good run, as in mine. If
- 56:04Speaker 15: we're here and we're still here years later, that doesn't
- 56:08Speaker 15: satisfy me. That's stagnancy. If we're going this way, that's
- 56:12Speaker 15: different than going this way. But it's also different they're
- 56:15Speaker 15: going this way or just being stagnant. And I think that,
- 56:20Speaker 15: you know, when you are asking somebody to watch two
- 56:25Speaker 15: hours of a show every morning, I don't think that
- 56:29Speaker 15: just two personalities work. I think that you have to
- 56:33Speaker 15: have one definitive personality to feed off of but I
- 56:38Speaker 15: also think it's important to diversify the audience that you're
- 56:42Speaker 15: trying to reach, the pundits and commentators who are communicating
- 56:46Speaker 15: you want something fresh.
- 56:48Speaker 3: You want something fresh, listen. I agree with that. I
- 56:50Speaker 3: think the big part was he was talking about if
- 56:52Speaker 3: you're here and here and you couldn't see what he's
- 56:54Speaker 3: doing in his hands, but he's talking about, you know,
- 56:57Speaker 3: if you're at the top, but you're not continually striving
- 57:01Speaker 3: for more, then he's not satisfied because it's that chase
- 57:07Speaker 3: that gets him going. And that's not something I can
- 57:12Speaker 3: necessarily adopt, but it's something I agree with one hundred percent.
- 57:15Speaker 3: Just because I don't do it doesn't mean it's not
- 57:17Speaker 3: right and it's not effective. I think it's both right
- 57:19Speaker 3: and effective. I think we can apply that to our
- 57:22Speaker 3: political outlook and say, look, just because we've won some elections,
- 57:25Speaker 3: just because we've done whatever, doesn't mean that the squad
- 57:28Speaker 3: is not coming for our lunch. Doesn't mean that over
- 57:32Speaker 3: the next weekend, which is Independence Day weekend and the
- 57:35Speaker 3: following weekend, that there aren't going to be new Democrats
- 57:39Speaker 3: Socialists born from the fourth of July barbecues that don't
- 57:43Speaker 3: even celebrate America, more likely celebrating indigenous people, celebrating the
- 57:49Speaker 3: end of imperialism in America. If you get my drift right,
- 57:53Speaker 3: that's what they like to celebrate, that's what they think
- 57:55Speaker 3: is going on. But every barbecue that you go to
- 57:59Speaker 3: there might be a new Democrats socialist being born from it.
- 58:03Speaker 3: That's a scary proposition.
- 58:04Speaker 10: So what do we do.
- 58:05Speaker 3: We got to stand for something, because if we stand
- 58:08Speaker 3: for nothing, we'll fall for anything. Reagan called for us
- 58:11Speaker 3: to be what informed patriots, and that's exactly what we've
- 58:15Speaker 3: got to do. The only thing necessary for evil to
- 58:17Speaker 3: triumph is for good people like you to sit there
- 58:20Speaker 3: and do nothing. So do something. I start approxima, take care,
- 58:24Speaker 3: good night, and God bless you America. I'm rich Valdez
- 58:27Speaker 3: and this is America.
- 58:29Speaker 2: This is America.
- 59:03Speaker 16: Many many, many, many many many
- 1:00:00Speaker 14: At
