- 0:53Speaker 5: If you want to join our late night national town
- 0:55Speaker 5: hall conversation or leave us a message for replay on
- 0:58Speaker 5: the show a little bit later. But I want to
- 1:00Speaker 5: start with the charging of that monster in the Bandai
- 1:05Speaker 5: Beach Hanukka massacre. Am he goes today in Sydney. The
- 1:10Speaker 5: surviving gunman, Navid Akram was hit with fifty nine charges,
- 1:14Speaker 5: including fifteen counts of murder and terrorism offenses. This isis
- 1:18Speaker 5: inspired coward along with his deceased accomplished dad, right, because
- 1:22Speaker 5: I remember it's a father and son duo that did this
- 1:25Speaker 5: heinous act on Hanukkah. They turned this joyful Hanukkah celebration
- 1:29Speaker 5: into hell, killing fifteen, actually now sixteen innocent people, including
- 1:34Speaker 5: kids and rabbis. The funerals did begin today Tuesday, and
- 1:40Speaker 5: the stories are gut wrenching. A ten year old girl,
- 1:43Speaker 5: a Holocaust survivor, literally pure evil targeting Jews during the
- 1:49Speaker 5: Festival of Lights. And you guys know how I feel
- 1:52Speaker 5: about this. I grew up with the Jews in Brooklyn,
- 1:55Speaker 5: New York, and it was normal, right there was normal
- 2:00Speaker 5: to see the Jews around, It was normal to see
- 2:02Speaker 5: them praying. This is the childhood that I knew when
- 2:05Speaker 5: I lived in New York and I moved to Jersey
- 2:07Speaker 5: and there was very few Jews. Everybody was Hispanic. But
- 2:11Speaker 5: the point is this is crazy to me, definitely crazy.
- 2:16Speaker 5: And the Australian officials are now admitting that radicalization tied
- 2:21Speaker 5: to the online jihadi movement that exists in their country
- 2:27Speaker 5: is part of what contributed to this. But they're still
- 2:30Speaker 5: trying to push gun control, right, I mean, really, it's
- 2:34Speaker 5: just out of control anyway.
- 2:36Speaker 7: Oh, by the.
- 2:37Speaker 5: Way, Jake Lang, the former J sixth imprisoned activist, he's
- 2:44Speaker 5: going to be joining us. He's doing a march against
- 2:47Speaker 5: radical Islam, and he's going to be joining us. Give
- 2:51Speaker 5: us an update on what he's doing. Not today tomorrow,
- 2:54Speaker 5: he'll be joining us. On Wednesday night, he will be
- 2:56Speaker 5: joining us. So keep it locked right here for that.
- 2:58Speaker 5: Plus Wednesday night, we've got President Trump, President presidentxcuse me
- 3:02Speaker 5: take two. President Trump giving his speech on what America
- 3:08Speaker 5: deserves when it comes to affordability, when it comes to
- 3:12Speaker 5: the economy, when it comes to migrants in our country,
- 3:16Speaker 5: when it comes to earning money for this country. And
- 3:20Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to hearing President Trump outline all of that.
- 3:23Speaker 7: Now. There's plenty of stuff that we're going to get
- 3:26Speaker 7: into today.
- 3:26Speaker 5: The Trump accounts, right, there's some additional stuff coming out
- 3:32Speaker 5: with that. Billionaires are jumping in, Michael Dell jumping in,
- 3:35Speaker 5: others jumping in because this is going to help kids
- 3:39Speaker 5: when they grow up. I saw an article yesterday six
- 3:43Speaker 5: hundred thousand dollars is what a thousand dollars initial Trump
- 3:48Speaker 5: account would look like for a baby once it's fully amortized,
- 3:53Speaker 5: when it's fully matured. Can't beat that, right, It's not
- 3:57Speaker 5: a bad deal at all. Let me see what else
- 3:59Speaker 5: do I got here? There's another thing I wanted to
- 4:01Speaker 5: talk about. Eight more drug boats were exploded, destroyed, crushed, killed,
- 4:07Speaker 5: a trompeto striking at another eight drug boats. Doubling down
- 4:11Speaker 5: on his commitment to end narco trafficking into the United
- 4:16Speaker 5: States by the Narco terrorists, The blockade continues on the
- 4:20Speaker 5: Venezuela and tanker Madudu is expected. President Nicolas Maduro is
- 4:25Speaker 5: expected to react or respond.
- 4:28Speaker 7: Haven't heard from him yet.
- 4:29Speaker 5: Plenty plenty plenty that we're going to be getting into
- 4:32Speaker 5: this evening, so I do want you to keep it
- 4:34Speaker 5: locked right here. Of course, I am looking forward to
- 4:39Speaker 5: sharing a little bit more about my family's Christmas traditions.
- 4:44Speaker 5: Will be doing that towards the end of the program.
- 4:47Speaker 5: But there is still a lot of updating to do
- 4:49Speaker 5: with the Vondai Beach, with the Brown University manhunt and
- 4:53Speaker 5: the situation on that where that's going there, I think
- 4:56Speaker 5: was a person of interest in the police chief called custody.
- 5:01Speaker 5: The Colonel and it wasn't custody. It was someone that
- 5:05Speaker 5: was detained, and they actually corrected him a well live
- 5:08Speaker 5: while he was saying it. They said, no, no, it's
- 5:10Speaker 5: the wrong word. It's detained. And it was pretty funny.
- 5:13Speaker 5: It doesn't seem like they have their arms around this
- 5:15Speaker 5: or like they're used to this type of level of
- 5:18Speaker 5: press scrutiny. So very interesting to see what's going on. Anyway,
- 5:22Speaker 5: more to come straight ahead, and if you want to
- 5:26Speaker 5: join us on our late night national town hall conversation.
- 5:28Speaker 5: You know the new number, it's eight seven seven Valdess one,
- 5:31Speaker 5: eight seven seven Valdez one. I don't know those numbers yet,
- 5:35Speaker 5: so you're gonna have to figure it out on the keypad,
- 5:36Speaker 5: just like I do. And again, if you don't get
- 5:38Speaker 5: through because we're not live at the moment that you're
- 5:41Speaker 5: calling in, you can leave a message.
- 5:42Speaker 7: How about that. Gotta love technology.
- 5:45Speaker 5: Just leave the message, you know, so that it makes sense,
- 5:47Speaker 5: and we'll do our best to get it on the
- 5:49Speaker 5: show for you. And let me see what else do
- 5:51Speaker 5: we have here. There's plenty more to come, but I'll
- 5:54Speaker 5: take my pause right here, coming right back.
- 5:56Speaker 7: Don't go anywhere.
- 5:57Speaker 2: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
- 6:11Speaker 2: head of hair and podcasting This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 6:18Speaker 7: All right, amigos, welcome back.
- 6:19Speaker 5: It's Rich Valdez Valdest with an ask at Rich Valdest
- 6:22Speaker 5: on all of the social media, of course, check us
- 6:24Speaker 5: out at rich valdest dot com. And I want to
- 6:27Speaker 5: get into something President Trump said today. He has declared
- 6:30Speaker 5: war on a narco terrorist time and again, but today
- 6:34Speaker 5: he is labeled fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
- 6:38Speaker 7: Listen to this boy.
- 6:39Speaker 6: Today, I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from
- 6:43Speaker 6: the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country with
- 6:47Speaker 6: this historic executive order I will sign today for formably
- 6:51Speaker 6: classed or fine fentol is a weapon of mass destruction,
- 6:55Speaker 6: which is what it is. No bomb does what this
- 6:59Speaker 6: is doing. Two hundred to three hundred thousand people die
- 7:02Speaker 6: every year that we know, so we're formally classifying fentanyl
- 7:09Speaker 6: as a weapon of mass destruction.
- 7:13Speaker 7: That's why now eight eight more.
- 7:18Speaker 5: Ships not necessarily carrying fentanyl, probably carrying cocaine, but whatever
- 7:22Speaker 5: the case is, we're blown up as of Tuesday, and
- 7:28Speaker 5: the Left has their proverbial panties in a bunch. Now,
- 7:32Speaker 5: I have to say, I'm all supportive of this policy.
- 7:35Speaker 5: I'm all for it, I really am, because it's part
- 7:39Speaker 5: of the larger strategy. Right, Venezuela is in cahoots with
- 7:42Speaker 5: Russia and Iran and China. Those are the same people
- 7:46Speaker 5: that we need to remind whose boss. Venezuela is a
- 7:51Speaker 5: failed narco state that is illegitimately elected, stealing elections to
- 7:57Speaker 5: remain in power. And President Trump is calling them out
- 7:59Speaker 5: on it. Good for him. I'm glad he's got the
- 8:05Speaker 5: big oil tanker blockaded. I'm glad that he's putting Maduro
- 8:09Speaker 5: on notice, threatening him to say, hey, look, you need
- 8:13Speaker 5: to get out of office. You need to leave these
- 8:15Speaker 5: people alone, allow your country to have a fair election,
- 8:18Speaker 5: and stop with the drug trafficking. But Maduru doesn't want
- 8:22Speaker 5: to go down without a fight, it seems. But it's
- 8:25Speaker 5: a larger strategy. Somebody who nailed it, somebody who understands
- 8:28Speaker 5: the stuff. Former CIA director as well as a former
- 8:33Speaker 5: Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo. I think he called it
- 8:35Speaker 5: out pretty pretty expertly when he was on the Fox
- 8:39Speaker 5: News channel, And we have a clip of it courtesy
- 8:42Speaker 5: of mister producer media stand by, all right, check this out.
- 8:46Speaker 2: We all know this.
- 8:47Speaker 8: Sanctions without enforcement are meaningless. You can write it down
- 8:50Speaker 8: on a piece of paper or past that executive order,
- 8:52Speaker 8: but if you're not willing to do the hard work
- 8:54Speaker 8: of actually stopping the flow of whatever it is narcotics
- 8:57Speaker 8: or oil or whatever it is that's been sanctioned, and
- 9:00Speaker 8: it's not very meaningful. Think what President Trump is demonstrating
- 9:03Speaker 8: is that you can do this, You can do it
- 9:04Speaker 8: away with tactical excellence. That was quite something to watch, yea.
- 9:09Speaker 8: And importantly, I think what he's really trying to do
- 9:11Speaker 8: is put pressure on the regime, economic pressure. And so
- 9:14Speaker 8: if you begin to take I think the tanker had
- 9:16Speaker 8: something short of a million barrels of crude oil.
- 9:19Speaker 7: Do the math.
- 9:19Speaker 8: Pretty fast, Maduro will be out of money and out
- 9:22Speaker 8: of the ability to continue to pay the thugs that
- 9:24Speaker 8: are destroying the lives of Venezuelan people and putting America
- 9:27Speaker 8: at risk. If you do this at some scale, you
- 9:29Speaker 8: can pretty pretty quickly put pressure on the regime in
- 9:32Speaker 8: a way, they will give the Venezuelan people a chance
- 9:34Speaker 8: to change the government that they live under.
- 9:36Speaker 5: But how about that giving them an opportunity Now, I
- 9:41Speaker 5: know a lot of people don't like this idea of
- 9:43Speaker 5: regime change, right people, they cringe at regime change. That's
- 9:49Speaker 5: the buzzword that people don't like.
- 9:53Speaker 7: I like it. I like it.
- 9:55Speaker 5: I'm a hawkish regime change kind of guy. I think
- 9:59Speaker 5: when you have government like Maduro, like the Communists before him, chavs,
- 10:05Speaker 5: this stuff does nothing good for our hemisphere, nothing good
- 10:09Speaker 5: for their neighboring countries. If you talk to the Colombians
- 10:12Speaker 5: that share a border with the Venezuelans, they'll tell you
- 10:15Speaker 5: they keep coming into our country looking for an opportunity
- 10:18Speaker 5: because their country sucks. If you talk to the Venezuelans,
- 10:22Speaker 5: if you've been to Colombia, I have every cab driver
- 10:26Speaker 5: I had was Venezuelan. Matter of fact, the valet guy
- 10:29Speaker 5: at the Colombian restaurant I frequent pretty regularly, he's also Venezuelan.
- 10:35Speaker 7: And listen to this.
- 10:36Speaker 5: He left a career as a stuntman and as an
- 10:39Speaker 5: extra as a young guy, but working in the Hollywood
- 10:43Speaker 5: of Colombia because he had left Venezuela to find a
- 10:47Speaker 5: job in Colombia, and he left Colombia to come here
- 10:50Speaker 5: because he wanted more opportunity and the money just wasn't there.
- 10:54Speaker 7: So people are running away. They are running.
- 10:58Speaker 5: Away from the bedlam, the chaos, the poverty that is
- 11:04Speaker 5: communism in Venezuela. So I'm happy that President Trump is
- 11:08Speaker 5: applying this pressure because we need it, right.
- 11:11Speaker 7: I mean, what are you going to do with that?
- 11:14Speaker 7: Just keep allowing them to operate.
- 11:17Speaker 5: This is I think the point of the pressure that
- 11:20Speaker 5: he's putting them under, and I think that's a good thing. Now,
- 11:23Speaker 5: let me see if I can find you this report
- 11:25Speaker 5: that I wanted to share with you on the drug boats,
- 11:28Speaker 5: and I think I got one here.
- 11:30Speaker 9: Just hours before Secretaries heg Seth and Rubio were expected
- 11:34Speaker 9: to come here to Capitol Hill to answer lawmakers questions
- 11:37Speaker 9: on this mounting series of strikes on alleged drug boats.
- 11:41Speaker 9: The Pentagon released a new video overnight showing that it
- 11:44Speaker 9: hit three more, killing at least eight people in the
- 11:47Speaker 9: Eastern Pacific. That brings the total number of these strikes
- 11:50Speaker 9: in September to at least twenty five. The Trump administration
- 11:53Speaker 9: saying that these are strikes on what they alleged to
- 11:55Speaker 9: be drug smuggling vessels. At least ninety five people killed,
- 12:00Speaker 9: but the administration has never publicly provided evidence that these
- 12:03Speaker 9: boats are smuggling drugs, and they have never publicly identified
- 12:07Speaker 9: any of the people killed in these strikes. Lawmakers up
- 12:10Speaker 9: here on Capitol Hill have a series of questions they
- 12:12Speaker 9: will get that briefing today, and there are also growing
- 12:16Speaker 9: bipartisan calls for the Pentagon to release the classified video
- 12:19Speaker 9: of a controversial September second strike where the US, after
- 12:23Speaker 9: destroying one of these boats in a follow up strike,
- 12:26Speaker 9: then killed two survivors. While the Pentagon has put out
- 12:29Speaker 9: clips of these more than two dozen strikes, they have
- 12:32Speaker 9: never released full unedited video of any.
- 12:35Speaker 5: Diane, of any bla blah blah. Now listen again. This
- 12:40Speaker 5: reporter seemingly is presenting this as somehow the military's job
- 12:47Speaker 5: has always been to provide US receipts, to provide US
- 12:51Speaker 5: with the names and social security numbers of every terrorist
- 12:55Speaker 5: they've ever killed in an operation. I don't remember that
- 12:59Speaker 5: ever happening. Yet he somehow is like, I can't believe
- 13:02Speaker 5: they haven't done this, Diana. I don't know where this
- 13:06Speaker 5: guy gets off. Honestly, ABC News guy, I don't know
- 13:08Speaker 5: his name, but let me tell you.
- 13:11Speaker 7: Clownish.
- 13:12Speaker 5: It's clownish the way that the media pretends either they
- 13:15Speaker 5: fall for things hook line and sinker, or they're really
- 13:19Speaker 5: really that naive and have not been alive the last
- 13:22Speaker 5: twenty or thirty years, where we've had actions just like these.
- 13:27Speaker 5: Obama actually killed an American and Biden killed a whole family.
- 13:30Speaker 5: They were all innocent. All he said was my bad
- 13:33Speaker 5: and not even right. He didn't really apologize. It was
- 13:36Speaker 5: the national security advice that I ultimately apologized, not the president,
- 13:40Speaker 5: but the left hast There are panties in a twist
- 13:42Speaker 5: here they don't want and earlier I misspoke. I said
- 13:46Speaker 5: eight more drug boats. I meant eight more narco terrorists
- 13:48Speaker 5: and three more drug boats. But you get the point.
- 13:51Speaker 5: Two dozen boats later, lots of action being taken somehow.
- 13:56Speaker 5: This is bad, right because the left, the left within
- 13:59Speaker 5: the media, the left within our government, the left within
- 14:02Speaker 5: the Democrat Party, they've never met a criminal or an
- 14:08Speaker 5: enemy of our country that they didn't love. And this
- 14:14Speaker 5: is sad. I understand. It's the Machiavellian idea or principle,
- 14:18Speaker 5: if you will, of the enemy of my enemy as
- 14:20Speaker 5: my friend. But that's the problem. They shouldn't be viewing
- 14:24Speaker 5: us as the enemy. They shouldn't view MAGA or their
- 14:27Speaker 5: fellow Americans or a Republican led government as their enemy.
- 14:32Speaker 5: That shouldn't be happening at all, But sadly, it is happening.
- 14:37Speaker 5: And this is part of the issue I think that
- 14:39Speaker 5: we're facing culturally as a country, as a society, this
- 14:44Speaker 5: cultural rot where we are thinning out or destroying the
- 14:53Speaker 5: fabric of what holds us together. The part of America
- 14:56Speaker 5: that we all kind of agree on that we shouldn't
- 14:58Speaker 5: have drugs, we shouldn't do bad things, we shouldn't disseminate
- 15:02Speaker 5: drugs to children. I think we should all agree on
- 15:04Speaker 5: those things. People shouldn't be dying two to three hundred
- 15:08Speaker 5: thousand Americans a year from fentanyl overdoses or accidental deaths.
- 15:13Speaker 5: Like those little kids who touched it, who touched something
- 15:16Speaker 5: that was laced because the lady who was running the
- 15:19Speaker 5: daycare had a husband who was in the drug dealing business,
- 15:23Speaker 5: and there was some stuff that you know, again, it
- 15:25Speaker 5: just had some residue on it. Kids touched it. They're tiny,
- 15:28Speaker 5: they died. Remember that happened in the Bronx. I think
- 15:32Speaker 5: the kid was two or three years old. It's happened
- 15:35Speaker 5: more than once. Horrible, absolutely horrible. Yet the left within
- 15:40Speaker 5: the media, the left within the government, and the left
- 15:43Speaker 5: within the Democrat Party will come up with a reason
- 15:45Speaker 5: to tell you why Trump is bad, why I am bad,
- 15:49Speaker 5: why you are bad? But how kil Marl Brigo Garcia
- 15:53Speaker 5: just deserves due process. The man who's gotten due process
- 15:56Speaker 5: more than anybody I know. He's been deported like three
- 15:59Speaker 5: or four times, keeps coming back. You talk about due process.
- 16:02Speaker 5: How much process does this man do? I don't know,
- 16:05Speaker 5: but he's getting a whole lot of it. Anyway, we
- 16:07Speaker 5: continue straight ahead. I'm Rich Valdez.
- 16:11Speaker 1: This is America. This is America, A.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Programs like America at Night with Rich Valdez and Donald
- 16:50Speaker 5: Trump is a guest.
- 16:51Speaker 7: Who's gonna watch late night TV? Come on?
- 16:53Speaker 6: Who would want to? I want to listen to you
- 16:55Speaker 6: Rich all the time?
- 16:56Speaker 7: All right, that's me and Rich Valdez.
- 16:57Speaker 5: Welcome back, and I want you to hear a quick
- 17:00Speaker 5: clip from Let's see who's it from posting note these
- 17:04Speaker 5: things security security. It's from the Fox News channel and
- 17:08Speaker 5: it's talking about a continued decline in fentanyl pills and
- 17:12Speaker 5: their potency.
- 17:13Speaker 10: Check this out a courageing sign in the fight against fentanyl.
- 17:17Speaker 10: The DEA says pills seized by their agents are seeing
- 17:20Speaker 10: a dramatic decline in potency, and President Trump may be
- 17:24Speaker 10: the one to thank for that. Our Fox and You
- 17:26Speaker 10: senior correspondent Alicia Ocunya has got more season Denver. Now,
- 17:29Speaker 10: at Alicia, these are some staggering reductions.
- 17:32Speaker 11: John, This is draw jaw dropping. Data from the Drug
- 17:37Speaker 11: Enforcement Administration National lab test results on illegal fentanyl pills
- 17:42Speaker 11: show a drop in the lethal potency of pills on
- 17:45Speaker 11: the street from seventy six percent two years ago to
- 17:49Speaker 11: twenty nine percent today. The DA says it's because the
- 17:52Speaker 11: Trump administration is all hands on deck.
- 17:56Speaker 12: We are targeting the global supply network of precursor chemicals
- 18:00Speaker 12: that go from China into Mexico, and if we can
- 18:03Speaker 12: impact that supply making its way to the Mexican cartels,
- 18:06Speaker 12: there's less precursor chemicals available for them to make this product.
- 18:10Speaker 11: The DEA says, the cartels are being forced to dilute
- 18:13Speaker 11: their product and even charge more per pill. They credit
- 18:16Speaker 11: the administration for hitting the illicit drug trade from every direction.
- 18:21Speaker 12: While DEA is focused on the enforcement aspects of the
- 18:24Speaker 12: drug trafficking world, there's also other aspects with the Administration
- 18:28Speaker 12: of SAMI area of expertise, where there's diplomatic efforts by
- 18:31Speaker 12: our state Department, the White House engaging with China on
- 18:34Speaker 12: this topic.
- 18:36Speaker 11: Add to this, US Customs and Border Patrol report fentanyl
- 18:39Speaker 11: seizures that the southern border are down by more than
- 18:42Speaker 11: fifty percent. Colorado is one of the top three states
- 18:46Speaker 11: in the nation with the highest amount of seizures. One example,
- 18:49Speaker 11: you see in this bodycam video where the Douglas County
- 18:52Speaker 11: Sheriff's Department recently was alerted to a storage facility where
- 18:55Speaker 11: they found one point seven million fentanyl pillow.
- 19:01Speaker 5: So that's where we are with fentanyl, and that's a
- 19:04Speaker 5: big deal, no question that that's.
- 19:07Speaker 7: A big deal.
- 19:09Speaker 5: You're talking about a couple one hundred thousand deaths a
- 19:11Speaker 5: year from fentanyl in America and that number goes up.
- 19:15Speaker 5: Yet you got liberal Democrats that are more worried about
- 19:17Speaker 5: drug smugglers who are bringing in this poison than they
- 19:19Speaker 5: are about our own communities or about our troops. Right,
- 19:23Speaker 5: I mean, if we don't have to look too far
- 19:26Speaker 5: to see that we had a whole troop situation, right,
- 19:30Speaker 5: and their families are speaking, These American soldiers that were
- 19:35Speaker 5: ambushed by ISIS and Syria.
- 19:38Speaker 7: This was horrible.
- 19:40Speaker 5: But the families of the slain Iowa guardsmen, Sergeant Torres
- 19:45Speaker 5: Tovar and Sergeant Howard twenty five years old and twenty
- 19:49Speaker 5: nine years old, respectively, and an interpreter shared what they
- 19:57Speaker 5: had to say. And these guys ambushed by these ISIS infiltrators.
- 20:05Speaker 5: There were apparently one ISIS infiltrator. And President Trump promised
- 20:10Speaker 5: overwhelming force and response in uh retaliation, and rightfully so
- 20:16Speaker 5: that needs to happen.
- 20:17Speaker 13: So we've warned the loss of three great patriots in Syria.
- 20:23Speaker 14: We know how it happened.
- 20:24Speaker 6: There was an ambush, terrible. We also a three wounded.
- 20:29Speaker 6: They seemed to be doing pretty well, so we warned
- 20:32Speaker 6: the laws. These are great, three great people, and it's
- 20:36Speaker 6: just a terrible thing. Syria, by the way, was fighting
- 20:39Speaker 6: along with us.
- 20:40Speaker 13: The president, the new president of Syria is as they
- 20:45Speaker 13: told me, and I'm not surprised.
- 20:46Speaker 6: He's devastated by what has happened. There was an ISIS
- 20:50Speaker 6: attack on US and Syria.
- 20:55Speaker 5: Again yeah again President Trump saying yeah, we will retaliate
- 21:01Speaker 5: against ISIS, and again putting on true social more formally
- 21:05Speaker 5: or less formally.
- 21:05Speaker 7: However, you want to look at it.
- 21:07Speaker 5: We mourn the loss of three great American patriots in Syria,
- 21:10Speaker 5: two soldiers and one civilian interpreter. Likewise, we pray for
- 21:14Speaker 5: the three injured soldiers who it's been just confirmed that
- 21:18Speaker 5: they are doing well. This was an ISIS attack against
- 21:21Speaker 5: the United States and Syria and a very dangerous part
- 21:24Speaker 5: of Syria that is not fully controlled by them. The
- 21:27Speaker 5: President of Syria, Ahmed al Sharra, is extremely angry and
- 21:31Speaker 5: disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation.
- 21:36Speaker 5: Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- 21:38Speaker 7: Donald J.
- 21:38Speaker 5: Trump, President of the United States of America, and President
- 21:42Speaker 5: Trump again doubling down on that on the.
- 21:46Speaker 15: Syria ambush of yeah forces. Do you still have confidence
- 21:50Speaker 15: in the Syrian president? I do.
- 21:52Speaker 7: I mean, this has nothing to do with him.
- 21:54Speaker 6: This is a part of Syria that they really don't
- 21:56Speaker 6: have much control over, and it was a surprise. He
- 22:01Speaker 6: feels very badly about it. He's working on it. He's
- 22:04Speaker 6: a strong man. And now this had nothing to do
- 22:07Speaker 6: with the Syrian government. This had to do This had
- 22:09Speaker 6: to do with ISIS.
- 22:12Speaker 5: Now many don't trust mister al Jalani, now known as
- 22:16Speaker 5: Al Sharah, the former leader of al Qaeda, who's now
- 22:20Speaker 5: the legitimately democratically elected president of Syria who replaced Mashi
- 22:26Speaker 5: al Assan. But President Trump seems to like him, and
- 22:30Speaker 5: I guess he's got to work with them more than
- 22:32Speaker 5: I do. But I don't know how much we can
- 22:34Speaker 5: trust any of these people, right. It's kind of like
- 22:36Speaker 5: going with the lesser of two evils when you're dealing
- 22:38Speaker 5: with a foreign country in another part of the world.
- 22:41Speaker 7: I get it.
- 22:44Speaker 5: Not a job I envy at all. Anyway, I want
- 22:48Speaker 5: to continue our conversation because there's still more that I
- 22:52Speaker 5: want to get into. There's plenty of clips that I've
- 22:56Speaker 5: been wanting to go over with you. And man, I
- 23:02Speaker 5: got some Second Amendment stuff. I got some abortion stuff.
- 23:04Speaker 5: I'll save that for a little bit later. I want
- 23:06Speaker 5: to get to the more pressing and breaking news stuff,
- 23:08Speaker 5: which really it's more continuation of the news. It's not
- 23:11Speaker 5: necessarily breaking news. But let me see here, there was
- 23:16Speaker 5: some Minnesota. Where was the other story here?
- 23:19Speaker 7: Hmm? There with me?
- 23:21Speaker 5: Oh, I got that Cardi B that I wanted to
- 23:23Speaker 5: share with you, and I think I'm gonna go with
- 23:24Speaker 5: the Cardi B.
- 23:25Speaker 7: You're gonna switch gears right here.
- 23:26Speaker 5: Because Cardi b she was getting angry, kind of like
- 23:29Speaker 5: the people in the Mexico Parliament. I don't know if
- 23:31Speaker 5: you saw that brawl breakout. There was a brawl that
- 23:33Speaker 5: broke out in the Mexican government and there was one guy.
- 23:36Speaker 5: I don't know if he's like the Senate pro tem
- 23:40Speaker 5: leader or whatever, but it's like a bunch of women,
- 23:43Speaker 5: all legislators, maybe other staff, but it's one guy almost
- 23:47Speaker 5: kind of looks like Nicolas Madulo, right, that kind of look,
- 23:50Speaker 5: you know, at the mustache and whatnot. And these women
- 23:53Speaker 5: just start fighting and arguing and pulling each other's hair,
- 23:55Speaker 5: and then another one jumps in, and then a third
- 23:57Speaker 5: one jumps in, then a fourth one jumps in, and
- 23:59Speaker 5: everybody's pulling each other's.
- 24:00Speaker 7: Hair rear rear.
- 24:02Speaker 5: It's just a hair pulling extravaganza. That was in the
- 24:06Speaker 5: Mexico City hearings and again these lawmakers just pulling each
- 24:11Speaker 5: other's hair. I thought it was wild. That's one of
- 24:13Speaker 5: those things where you really need to watch the video.
- 24:15Speaker 5: I did post it on my Instagram at rich Valdes
- 24:19Speaker 5: with an s at rich Valdez if you want to
- 24:20Speaker 5: take a look at that.
- 24:21Speaker 7: That was interesting, But let me see where do I start.
- 24:24Speaker 5: Do I start with Congresswoman Mana Abdi or do I
- 24:28Speaker 5: start with Cardi B. Right, Well, I think Cardi B
- 24:31Speaker 5: is more entertaining, so I'm gonna start with Cardi B.
- 24:33Speaker 5: She says, you know, she's a rapper, and she says
- 24:36Speaker 5: that she's gonna need people to beg her to stay.
- 24:40Speaker 5: Convince her now because I think she's out of the country,
- 24:43Speaker 5: and she says they treat her better out of the
- 24:45Speaker 5: country than they treat her here.
- 24:46Speaker 7: Listen to this.
- 24:47Speaker 16: I'm starting out to like America. America made me pay taxes,
- 24:50Speaker 16: the vice president.
- 24:51Speaker 7: So hold on a second.
- 24:53Speaker 5: If liking America has to do it paying taxes, then
- 24:56Speaker 5: I don't think I like that either. But I love
- 24:58Speaker 5: America despite having play taxes, pay taxes. Cardi I think
- 25:03Speaker 5: Cardi B is like bad Bunny. She's like El Trumpezo
- 25:06Speaker 5: in some ways. These people are professional show people. She's
- 25:10Speaker 5: a showman. She knows if she says certain things, it's
- 25:13Speaker 5: gonna rub people a certain way, and it's going to
- 25:14Speaker 5: keep her front and center in the media, in popular culture,
- 25:18Speaker 5: in the current discussions. So that's what Trump does too, right,
- 25:21Speaker 5: I mean, he'll put out a provocative truth social and
- 25:23Speaker 5: then when they see him, mister president, did you say?
- 25:25Speaker 5: And then he'll tone it down, play it all. This
- 25:28Speaker 5: is how he beats the media at their own game,
- 25:31Speaker 5: and Cardi b is no different.
- 25:33Speaker 16: Go ahead, Twitter like, I don't know. I don't feel
- 25:35Speaker 16: we appreciated on America. Yeah, I need to convince me
- 25:37Speaker 16: to come back. I don't know if I want to
- 25:38Speaker 16: go back. Convince me now, beg me to come back,
- 25:42Speaker 16: beg me to come back to America.
- 25:44Speaker 7: I don't think I might go back.
- 25:45Speaker 5: Nobody's begging you, Carti, and you know it, or maybe
- 25:48Speaker 5: your fans are. I don't know, and I'm a fan.
- 25:49Speaker 3: You know.
- 25:50Speaker 7: I like her songs. I think you know.
- 25:51Speaker 5: I don't really buy them or download them, but if
- 25:53Speaker 5: I hear it, I bought my head to it. Every
- 25:55Speaker 5: now and again. She's got a banger that you'll learn
- 25:57Speaker 5: the words too, because you know, you can't get away
- 25:59Speaker 5: from it, at least in my circles, my friends, my people,
- 26:03Speaker 5: my whatever, you know, my contemporaries, the clubs I go to.
- 26:06Speaker 5: You're gonna hear some of this, definitely gonna hear about it.
- 26:09Speaker 5: But Cardi, come on, I need you to love America.
- 26:12Speaker 5: It's made you a multi millionaire. Surely you can't be serious.
- 26:15Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 26:16Speaker 16: I'm not feeling in America right now. Ya gotta beg
- 26:18Speaker 16: me to come back. Should I go back?
- 26:20Speaker 17: I don't know.
- 26:20Speaker 16: I mean, why would I look at this country? They look,
- 26:23Speaker 16: they treat me, They're about to give me a new
- 26:24Speaker 16: name and everything is going to get my license over here.
- 26:28Speaker 16: Should I come back? I don't know.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Let's get over there.
- 26:31Speaker 16: That is not my life anymore. I'm a new woman
- 26:33Speaker 16: over here.
- 26:37Speaker 5: Obviously she's enjoying it. She's getting a chuckle out of it.
- 26:40Speaker 5: It's a joke because she's quite the comedian.
- 26:42Speaker 7: Cardi b everybody.
- 26:44Speaker 5: Now, I'll tell you somebody who wasn't kidding, somebody who
- 26:47Speaker 5: I don't think is making millions, but maybe on their way.
- 26:52Speaker 5: It's congress Woman Mira Abdy. Now, this Congresswoman Mira Abdy.
- 26:57Speaker 5: This is a different case. This is somebody who came
- 27:03Speaker 5: from a different country. She doesn't seem very very happy
- 27:07Speaker 5: with the United States. Wait till you hear this one.
- 27:10Speaker 18: So coming into the States, everything from the snow to
- 27:15Speaker 18: you know, the housing, the homes that we were all
- 27:20Speaker 18: of a sudden occupying Everything was a shock. Honestly, every
- 27:24Speaker 18: day was something new, and I'm like, oh my god,
- 27:26Speaker 18: this is just getting worse. Yeah, So state, did you
- 27:29Speaker 18: guys learn first of all Kansas?
- 27:31Speaker 7: Kansas city of all places?
- 27:33Speaker 18: Yeah, it's like a boot camp for May basically.
- 27:35Speaker 16: Oh really, yeah, because it's just like.
- 27:37Speaker 18: Right, like, I mean, anyone who lives in May, knows
- 27:39Speaker 18: Maine and has ever visited Kansas, they will know what
- 27:44Speaker 18: I'm talking about. It's just this is a lot interesting
- 27:48Speaker 18: with as a person of color. Honestly, we're a black person.
- 27:53Speaker 5: Now, I don't want to necessarily argue with her here
- 27:56Speaker 5: and say, come on, Somalia's an s whole country, and
- 28:00Speaker 5: how dare you speak like that here in the United States?
- 28:02Speaker 5: This country? You should be kissing the ground you walk on.
- 28:05Speaker 5: I'll leave that for you guys to do. I will say,
- 28:08Speaker 5: fascinating to me, right, the anthropological and psychological review of this,
- 28:17Speaker 5: I find it mind blowing that they have no interest
- 28:23Speaker 5: in any hardship here, But there was plenty of hardship
- 28:28Speaker 5: back home. Now, maybe maybe that's me being presumptuous. Maybe
- 28:32Speaker 5: she lived really good back home. These are all the
- 28:35Speaker 5: things I don't know, But what I do know is
- 28:37Speaker 5: that she said it was culture shock, especially for people
- 28:40Speaker 5: that are black or brown or.
- 28:42Speaker 7: Whatever she said.
- 28:44Speaker 5: And I don't know, it's life harder when you move
- 28:47Speaker 5: to a certain neighborhood because of your skin color. I
- 28:51Speaker 5: guess it can be that there might be a situation
- 28:54Speaker 5: where it could be, but quite likely not because of
- 28:58Speaker 5: someone's discrimination to work, but quite likely just because.
- 29:05Speaker 7: You might be out of sink. Right.
- 29:07Speaker 5: If I moved into a black neighborhood or a Chinese
- 29:10Speaker 5: neighborhood or an Indian neighborhood, I might feel a lot
- 29:14Speaker 5: of place just because I'm not in sync with everybody there.
- 29:16Speaker 5: But I don't think that means that they would treat
- 29:18Speaker 5: me badly or even differently, if that makes any sense
- 29:21Speaker 5: at all. But anyway, that is Congresswoman Mana Albi, and
- 29:26Speaker 5: she doesn't like America. In fact, she's mad at America
- 29:31Speaker 5: because of whatever.
- 29:33Speaker 7: I mean, you've heard it. It's no two ways about it.
- 29:37Speaker 7: This is the phenomena that we face.
- 29:41Speaker 5: This is what we're dealing with, people going through all
- 29:44Speaker 5: lengths to do all sorts of fraud, all sorts of
- 29:47Speaker 5: this and all. Now I'm just saying she's doing the fraud,
- 29:49Speaker 5: but I'm saying the Somali community has been under scrutiny
- 29:53Speaker 5: with I think seventy five arrests from that prominent community.
- 29:58Speaker 5: One has to beg the question how much more of
- 30:00Speaker 5: this is legal versus illegal? So we'll get you some
- 30:04Speaker 5: responses to that and continue to analyze that. Plus I
- 30:09Speaker 5: have a couple of clips on the latest on what's
- 30:12Speaker 5: happening in Minnesota and a few other things I want
- 30:17Speaker 5: to get to, So keep it locked right here on
- 30:18Speaker 5: Rich Valdez.
- 30:19Speaker 4: This is America, the forty fifth President. Donald Trump thinks
- 30:31Speaker 4: it's an honor to speak with Rich Valdez.
- 30:33Speaker 2: Oh, very good.
- 30:37Speaker 4: Thanks, The honor is all yours.
- 30:41Speaker 7: Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez.
- 30:48Speaker 7: All right, he goes, welcome back.
- 30:50Speaker 5: We continue the late night conversation on what's going on
- 30:54Speaker 5: in Minnesota. And I've got a couple of clips that
- 30:57Speaker 5: I want to play for you here, because this stuff,
- 30:59Speaker 5: you know, it's the gift that keeps on giving. One
- 31:01Speaker 5: of them is from my buddy Rob Finnerty, who I
- 31:04Speaker 5: don't know all that well, but he's always been very
- 31:06Speaker 5: friendly and I saw him at the Newsmax Christmas party
- 31:11Speaker 5: that I was at yesterday.
- 31:12Speaker 7: A big shout out to Chris Ruddy.
- 31:13Speaker 5: An amazing party in the Vanderbilt Hall of Grand Central Station.
- 31:22Speaker 5: Absolutely amazing this you're talking, I don't know, one hundred
- 31:26Speaker 5: or two hundred foot ceiling, beautifully crafted all the way
- 31:30Speaker 5: up to the top, the curves, the architecture, the construction
- 31:37Speaker 5: of it, just absolutely stunning to have a party in
- 31:40Speaker 5: a room like that. Kudos to Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax.
- 31:45Speaker 5: And I saw finer day. I didn't get a chance
- 31:47Speaker 5: to go and shake his hand at Wish him and
- 31:49Speaker 5: Merry Christmas beause there was so many people there, honestly,
- 31:51Speaker 5: and I was really caught up with talking to so
- 31:54Speaker 5: many people. But the point here I'm digressing, the point
- 32:00Speaker 5: that I want to make here is there's a clip.
- 32:02Speaker 5: I have a hymn that I'm about to play, but
- 32:04Speaker 5: have another one I'm going to play before I get
- 32:07Speaker 5: to that. This one is from CBS News and it's
- 32:11Speaker 5: pretty eye opening, allowing.
- 32:14Speaker 17: Some breaking news out of Bellevue right now. A man
- 32:17Speaker 17: is now charged with stabbing a police officer before another
- 32:20Speaker 17: officer shot him. This happened at the Bellevue Transit station.
- 32:24Speaker 17: You'll recall on Friday. Court documents say that Mohammed Bangora
- 32:28Speaker 17: made a false nine to one one call about domestic
- 32:31Speaker 17: violence to lure officers there. Police say that he slashed
- 32:34Speaker 17: an officer's face with a knife and then stabbed him
- 32:36Speaker 17: twice in the back. And that's when police say another
- 32:39Speaker 17: officer shot Bangora. Both were taken to the hospital and
- 32:42Speaker 17: both are expected to recover.
- 32:44Speaker 7: Wow, so that's going on in Washington.
- 32:47Speaker 6: Now.
- 32:48Speaker 5: It's not the end of it, though, there's more. I've
- 32:50Speaker 5: got the one from Rob Finnerty on Newsmax talking about
- 32:53Speaker 5: Congressoman il Han Omar.
- 32:56Speaker 7: This is a good one. Check this clip out.
- 32:58Speaker 19: So we'll ask again where did Ilhan all get all
- 33:00Speaker 19: that darn money from.
- 33:02Speaker 7: Let's go through it.
- 33:04Speaker 19: When she first ran for Congress in twenty eighteen, she
- 33:06Speaker 19: was married to a Somalian man named Ahmed Nurse said Elmi,
- 33:10Speaker 19: and she had a net worth of approximately sixty five
- 33:12Speaker 19: thousand dollars. Not a ton of money, but sixty five
- 33:16Speaker 19: thousand dollars. By twenty twenty, a whole two years later,
- 33:20Speaker 19: Ilhan had already divorced and remarried another Somalian man by
- 33:24Speaker 19: the name of Ahmed Aladizzi, and hersey, and her net
- 33:27Speaker 19: worth was still right around sixty five thousand dollars. Yet
- 33:31Speaker 19: just four years later she was divorced and remarried again
- 33:35Speaker 19: for a third or perhaps a fourth time. We don't
- 33:37Speaker 19: know for sure, because ilhan Omar likely married her brother
- 33:40Speaker 19: at one point to get him into this country illegally
- 33:44Speaker 19: when she came here from Somalia, which by the way,
- 33:46Speaker 19: is a federal crime. And she's serving in Congress, and
- 33:49Speaker 19: nobody talks about this. So by twenty twenty four, Ilhan's
- 33:53Speaker 19: married to a new person, a white guy named Tim.
- 33:56Speaker 19: There's Tim, Tim Minnette, and Tim is not a rich Mayon,
- 34:01Speaker 19: but now he is. Tim's rich now because somehow, over
- 34:04Speaker 19: the course of the last three years, ilhan Omar's networth
- 34:07Speaker 19: has skyrocketed to over thirty million dollars in counting, meaning
- 34:12Speaker 19: she went from having right around sixty five thousand dollars
- 34:15Speaker 19: to thirty million dollars in three years. Think about that
- 34:20Speaker 19: powerball drawing is tonight. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Ilhan Omar
- 34:23Speaker 19: did not win the lottery. Bernie Madoff was cheating and
- 34:27Speaker 19: he still wasn't doing that well. That is a forty
- 34:30Speaker 19: six thousand percent increase in less than three years. Now,
- 34:34Speaker 19: how do you suppose that happened? Do you really expect
- 34:37Speaker 19: us all to believe that she just played the stock
- 34:39Speaker 19: market like she's got a great investor and they just
- 34:42Speaker 19: got kind of lucky over the course of the Biden presidency?
- 34:45Speaker 7: And why are we the.
- 34:46Speaker 19: Only ones asking these questions tonight? So once again, where
- 34:51Speaker 19: did ilhan Omar get all that money? And why is
- 34:55Speaker 19: she trying to make Americans feel bad for Somalian criminals?
- 34:59Speaker 5: Again, that's affinity on Newsmax. Really good points. When you
- 35:03Speaker 5: have a member of Congress that whose income blows up exponentially,
- 35:07Speaker 5: and I'm sure it's not just her, I'm sure there's
- 35:08Speaker 5: plenty of them that this happens to, but it still
- 35:11Speaker 5: begs the same question, what's going on?
- 35:13Speaker 7: How are you getting rich? Is this on the public dole? Right?
- 35:18Speaker 5: I think these are valid questions when you're a member
- 35:21Speaker 5: of Congress, any public official. Honestly, I have to fill
- 35:25Speaker 5: out these financial disclosure forms every year just to be
- 35:28Speaker 5: a school board member. So I have to go through that.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Just imagine being a member of Congress. But you know what,
- 35:33Speaker 5: members of Congress have a different Uh, I'm going to
- 35:38Speaker 5: say lesser scrutiny than a lot of other people.
- 35:43Speaker 7: Many people do what they do. You go to jail.
- 35:46Speaker 7: They call it inside trading.
- 35:47Speaker 5: They do it, and vohil a, it's called member of
- 35:51Speaker 5: Congress privilege. Not too shabby, huh, not too shabby at all. Now,
- 35:59Speaker 5: while a lot of people here in the United States,
- 36:00Speaker 5: including President Trump, or blasting il han Omar, trying to
- 36:04Speaker 5: get rid of her, this is not a problem that's
- 36:06Speaker 5: unique to the American people, I mean, el han Omar is.
- 36:10Speaker 5: But Britain is facing the same thing. And the leader
- 36:14Speaker 5: of the Conservative Party in the UK, Kemy Badanok. She
- 36:20Speaker 5: says that the country is tolerated radical Islamism for too long.
- 36:27Speaker 7: Listen to this.
- 36:28Speaker 20: Tolerted this in our country for too long, and we
- 36:32Speaker 20: have tolerated the radical Islamist ideology the cease to threaten
- 36:36Speaker 20: not only Jews, but all of us of all faiths
- 36:40Speaker 20: and none who want to live in peace. So the
- 36:43Speaker 20: message from this conference, from this party, from every decent
- 36:48Speaker 20: and right thinking person in this country must be that
- 36:51Speaker 20: we will not stand for it anymore. We cannot import
- 36:55Speaker 20: and tolerate values hostile to our own. We must now
- 37:00Speaker 20: draw a line and say that in Britain you can
- 37:03Speaker 20: think what you like, and within the bounds of the law,
- 37:06Speaker 20: you can say what you like, but you have no
- 37:08Speaker 20: right to turn our streets into the theaters of intimidation,
- 37:12Speaker 20: and we will not let you do so anymore.
- 37:15Speaker 5: That was after the Kippour terror attack. Now we've seen
- 37:21Speaker 5: another attack that we've seen, you know, in Australia elsewhere,
- 37:24Speaker 5: obviously for Hanukah. It's open season on the Jews. Yet
- 37:30Speaker 5: they say that genocide is against someone else. I'm not
- 37:32Speaker 5: saying the genocide should be against someone else. I'm just saying,
- 37:34Speaker 5: come on, if you're going to call it a genocide,
- 37:36Speaker 5: let's call it for the people that are being picked off,
- 37:39Speaker 5: the Christians that are in Nicaragua. I mean in Nigeria.
- 37:42Speaker 5: Excuse me, Nicaragua. Nicaragua's whole different story. We've got to
- 37:45Speaker 5: call things for what they are. We can't just pretend
- 37:47Speaker 5: these things aren't happening.
- 37:48Speaker 7: Anyway.
- 37:49Speaker 5: We're gonna take another pause right here. When we come back,
- 37:52Speaker 5: I want to talk about the billion dollar investment that
- 37:56Speaker 5: Michael Dellt made and other billionaires are getting ready to
- 38:00Speaker 5: make in America's children, the Trump child savings accounts.
- 38:05Speaker 7: This one is terrific. Don't go anywhere.
- 38:07Speaker 21: This is a Maria. This is a Maria, all right.
- 38:36Speaker 7: I mean he goes, welcome back.
- 38:37Speaker 5: It's rich Valdez, Valdez with an ass average valdest on
- 38:40Speaker 5: all of.
- 38:41Speaker 7: The social media.
- 38:43Speaker 5: And I want you to hear what Michael Dell, the
- 38:46Speaker 5: founder of Dell Computer, had to say, him and his
- 38:49Speaker 5: wife donating all sorts of money. I think, for well,
- 38:54Speaker 5: you know what, I'll let the report play and you
- 38:56Speaker 5: could listen to what him and President Trump had to say,
- 38:58Speaker 5: and then we'll chime in.
- 39:00Speaker 7: Listen to this.
- 39:02Speaker 6: Michael and Susan Dell are committing to one of the
- 39:05Speaker 6: largest private donations in American history, which will directly benefit
- 39:10Speaker 6: the next generation of American children through the new Trump
- 39:13Speaker 6: Accounts program that we created in our One Big, Beautiful Bill.
- 39:19Speaker 6: Trump Accounts will be the first, I guess you could say,
- 39:23Speaker 6: real trust funds for every American child, allowing family members, employers,
- 39:28Speaker 6: co operations, generous donors to contribute money that will be
- 39:32Speaker 6: invested and grow over the course of a child's life.
- 39:35Speaker 22: Susan and I are super excited to announce our six
- 39:39Speaker 22: point twenty five billion dollar gift to twenty five million
- 39:44Speaker 22: American children ten and under, and our gift will cover
- 39:48Speaker 22: most of the children that are ten and under that
- 39:51Speaker 22: are not part of the federal program, the zero to
- 39:55Speaker 22: two year olds and who also live in zip codes
- 39:58Speaker 22: where the meeting income he is one hundred and fifty
- 40:01Speaker 22: thousand dollars or less.
- 40:04Speaker 5: That is Michael and Susan Dell. She also chimed in.
- 40:09Speaker 5: She had a few things to say, and you got
- 40:13Speaker 5: to just think this is great.
- 40:15Speaker 7: Right.
- 40:16Speaker 5: People made a bunch of money here in the United States,
- 40:18Speaker 5: built his computer business in his garage in Texas, and
- 40:22Speaker 5: now he's given away six and a quarter billion dollars
- 40:26Speaker 5: to help kids he's never met in his life. God
- 40:29Speaker 5: bless America.
- 40:31Speaker 14: Susan Dell, I'd just like to say how excited we
- 40:35Speaker 14: are to be a part of this. We believe that
- 40:39Speaker 14: when children have a future that they can see is
- 40:43Speaker 14: worth saving for, then that will help build hope and
- 40:50Speaker 14: opportunity and prosperity for generations to come. So we're so
- 40:54Speaker 14: excited to be doing this and hope to have many
- 40:58Speaker 14: people join in our efforts.
- 41:00Speaker 20: Thank you so much.
- 41:02Speaker 5: That was Susan Dell, Michael Dell's wife. But I also
- 41:05Speaker 5: have Senator Ted Cruz and Secretary Besson, who also chimed
- 41:09Speaker 5: in on these Trump baby accounts, because this is how
- 41:14Speaker 5: you leverage wealth in the future, at least for the future,
- 41:19Speaker 5: for future generations.
- 41:21Speaker 7: This is an excellent move. Listen to Ted Cruz, all right,
- 41:26Speaker 7: you don't have it. Let's go forward with Secretary Besent.
- 41:29Speaker 15: Eligible children born between January one, twenty twenty five and
- 41:35Speaker 15: December thirty one, twenty twenty eight will receive a one
- 41:39Speaker 15: thousand dollars contribution from the Treasury Department that will immediately
- 41:44Speaker 15: be invested in an index fund. To claim this investment,
- 41:49Speaker 15: most families need merely check a box on four Form
- 41:53Speaker 15: forty five forty seven, the most aptly named text document
- 41:57Speaker 15: of all time. The compound growth from Treasury's initial seed
- 42:03Speaker 15: funding alone sands to make young Americans wealthy. The S
- 42:08Speaker 15: and P has grown at a rate of ten point
- 42:10Speaker 15: five percent each year on average since the nineteen fifties.
- 42:15Speaker 15: Assuming that growth rate continues, a single one thousand dollars
- 42:19Speaker 15: deposit into a Trump account at birth will grow to
- 42:23Speaker 15: over six hundred thousand dollars by the age of retirement.
- 42:27Speaker 15: Our president is putting the American dream within reach of
- 42:31Speaker 15: every citizen no matter the circumstances of birth. When young
- 42:35Speaker 15: Americans turn twenty eight, they can use their TRUMP accounts
- 42:39Speaker 15: to keep saving through their retirement, or they can use
- 42:42Speaker 15: them to purchase a home or further their education, two
- 42:46Speaker 15: hallmarks of the American dream. TRUMP accounts will benefit from
- 42:51Speaker 15: the compound growth of Treasury's initial seed funding, but they
- 42:55Speaker 15: can also benefit from outside donations.
- 42:58Speaker 7: Like the Dells.
- 43:00Speaker 5: And I think this is a fantastic idea real public
- 43:03Speaker 5: private partnership allowing people to be charitable, helping kids to
- 43:07Speaker 5: amass some wealth. You're talking about against six hundred thousand
- 43:11Speaker 5: dollars by the age of their retirement for a thousand
- 43:14Speaker 5: dollars investment. Not too bad, not too bad at all.
- 43:19Speaker 5: I don't know too many other investments that are that good.
- 43:21Speaker 5: I have a little crypto and let me tell you
- 43:23Speaker 5: it's not doing that great all the time lately.
- 43:25Speaker 7: So maybe I need to get on one of these
- 43:27Speaker 7: kiddie accounts. I don't know.
- 43:28Speaker 5: I don't know, but I want to hear from you
- 43:30Speaker 5: guys that make sure you comment on one of our
- 43:32Speaker 5: posts or put up a post and tag me at
- 43:35Speaker 5: rich Valdes. And of course, if you're listening to the
- 43:39Speaker 5: show you can always drop us a line eight seven
- 43:42Speaker 5: seven valdesz one eight seven seven Valdz one. And there
- 43:47Speaker 5: is more to come straight ahead. I'm going to take
- 43:49Speaker 5: a pause here and then we're coming back.
- 43:52Speaker 1: This is America, This is America.
- 44:21Speaker 7: He's making podcasting great again.
- 44:24Speaker 2: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 44:30Speaker 5: All right, amos, welcome back. And I wanted to talk
- 44:33Speaker 5: about a couple of things here. Number one was my
- 44:38Speaker 5: Christmas tradition, but I'll get to that secondarily. So the
- 44:42Speaker 5: real number one is going to be this story about
- 44:45Speaker 5: this elephant right now.
- 44:47Speaker 7: I know it's kind of.
- 44:47Speaker 5: Silly, but I love a good zoo story every every
- 44:50Speaker 5: now and again. And this is interesting because there's see
- 45:00Speaker 5: if it tells me where, well, this zoo is in Oregon,
- 45:03Speaker 5: so shout out to Oregon, like our buddy Michael out
- 45:07Speaker 5: there in Pendleton, Oregon and so many others. But the
- 45:11Speaker 5: elephant is with a group of other elephants and they're
- 45:15Speaker 5: out there smashing pumpkins. Literally, they're giving these pumpkins as
- 45:20Speaker 5: snacks and they're all smashing these pumpkins, little holiday pumpkins.
- 45:24Speaker 5: This is their fun. But there's a baby elephant that
- 45:27Speaker 5: says I don't want to play with the smashing pumpkin.
- 45:29Speaker 5: Ditches the pumpkin and it just starts rolling in the
- 45:34Speaker 5: mud with a ball and then just starts rolling around
- 45:40Speaker 5: in the mud all by himself, and the internet exploded.
- 45:45Speaker 7: It broke the internet.
- 45:46Speaker 5: Everybody thought this was the cutest elephant ever, and voila, it.
- 45:51Speaker 7: Became a viral video exploding online.
- 45:56Speaker 5: You never know what takes to make these viral videos, right,
- 46:00Speaker 5: You and me maybe were like, Eh, I'm not into elephants.
- 46:03Speaker 5: They're dirty, they smell, keep them over there. And then
- 46:07Speaker 5: you get people who say, let me videotape the elephant
- 46:10Speaker 5: that wants to pretend he's the size of a cat
- 46:15Speaker 5: and just you know, run all over the place. That
- 46:17Speaker 5: happens too, I think anyway, that's the elephant story everybody
- 46:23Speaker 5: was in love with that I had to share with you.
- 46:26Speaker 5: While there's no elephants in Puerto Rican Christmas traditions for
- 46:31Speaker 5: a not chep winna or anything like that, there are
- 46:34Speaker 5: plenty of traditions singing the Christmas carols or the Aguinaldo's
- 46:42Speaker 5: or drinking coquito right, which is condensed milk cocoa. Lopez
- 46:48Speaker 5: and your favorite Puerto rican Rum. There's plenty of different
- 46:54Speaker 5: treats and delicacies and cocktails and things like that that
- 46:59Speaker 5: are typical to the season, but ultimately it's about the
- 47:05Speaker 5: celebration of Christ and his birth and the acknowledgment of that.
- 47:11Speaker 5: And it's always my hope that we never lose sight
- 47:17Speaker 5: of why we're all here. It's important that we know
- 47:22Speaker 5: our purpose and that we stand for something, because if
- 47:25Speaker 5: we stand for nothing, we'll fall for anything. And the
- 47:29Speaker 5: only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good
- 47:33Speaker 5: people like you to sit there and do nothing.
- 47:37Speaker 7: So keep doing your thing.
- 47:39Speaker 5: I start approxima, take care, good night, and God bless
- 47:42Speaker 5: you America.
- 47:43Speaker 7: I'm Rich Valdas.
- 47:45Speaker 2: This is Amaria.
- 47:57Speaker 5: We live in a remarkable time in human history right now,
- 48:00Speaker 5: one in which our technology has dramatically improved our living standards.
- 48:05Speaker 5: That's because the people that design and build the modern
- 48:09Speaker 5: wonders that make our lives better are bound by physical reality,
- 48:13Speaker 5: a world in which things either work or they don't work. Unfortunately,
- 48:17Speaker 5: those who oversee our political and educational institutions aren't limited
- 48:21Speaker 5: by these same constraints. Instead, they often implement their agendas
- 48:25Speaker 5: by exploiting people's ignorance. On issues like taxes and immigration.
