Speaker 3: New show every night, nine pm. Check this out. AOC
1:06
Speaker 3: she's owning and I that's right, AOC all out crazy.
1:12
Speaker 3: My least favorite congresswoman for the Bronx and Queens Exandrio
1:16
Speaker 3: Casio Cordes. She got stuck in a foreign policy question,
1:20
Speaker 3: trying to be a foreign policy big shot in all
1:22
Speaker 3: places she was in Berlin, Germany and Europe. It didn't
1:26
Speaker 3: work out too good for her. We're gonna go to
1:27
Speaker 3: that in the moment. Blood we have good Take two,
1:31
Speaker 3: but we also have more. We've got Hillary Clinton. Hillary
1:34
Speaker 3: Clinton's also out in Europe this one. She's moderating an
1:41
Speaker 3: event for women, and the very first guest she calls
1:45
Speaker 3: is a man that believes he's a woman. You can't
1:49
Speaker 3: make this stuff up. We're gonna get to that as well.
1:52
Speaker 3: Plus we've got Secretary Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State.
1:56
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Secretary of Rubio now blowing it
1:58
Speaker 3: out of the water with these two. One is calling
2:02
Speaker 3: transsexuals women and the other one is umming and eyeing
2:06
Speaker 3: her way out of a question that she doesn't even answer.
2:09
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio truly delivers. In my opinion, what's one of
2:12
Speaker 3: the best speeches I've heard in my lifetime. This is
2:16
Speaker 3: definitely one for the generations. Check this out.
2:19
Speaker 5: For five centuries before the end of the Second World War,
2:23
Speaker 5: the West had been expanding. It's missionaries, it's pilgrims, it's soldiers,
2:27
Speaker 5: it's explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans,
2:31
Speaker 5: settle new continents, build vast empires extending out across the globe.
2:37
Speaker 5: But in nineteen forty five, for the first time since
2:41
Speaker 5: the age of Columbus, it was contracting. Europe was in ruins,
2:47
Speaker 5: half of it lived behind an iron curtain, and the rest.
2:51
Speaker 3: Looked like it would soon follow.
2:53
Speaker 5: The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated
2:57
Speaker 5: by godless communist revolutions and by anti colonial uprisings that
3:02
Speaker 5: would transform the world and drape the red hammer and
3:06
Speaker 5: sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years
3:09
Speaker 5: to come. Against that backdrop, then, as now, many came
3:15
Speaker 5: to believe that the West's age of dominance had come
3:17
Speaker 5: to an end, and that our future was destined to
3:21
Speaker 5: be a faint and feeble echo of our past. But
3:26
Speaker 5: together our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, and
3:33
Speaker 5: it was a choice they refused to make. This is
3:37
Speaker 5: what we did together once before, and this is what
3:40
Speaker 5: President Trump and the United States.
3:42
Speaker 3: Want to do again now, together with you.
3:47
Speaker 5: And this is why we do not want our allies
3:49
Speaker 5: to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want
3:53
Speaker 5: allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will
3:56
Speaker 5: ever be tempted to test our collective strength. This is
4:00
Speaker 5: why we do not want our allies to be shackled
4:02
Speaker 5: by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud
4:05
Speaker 5: of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that
4:08
Speaker 5: we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization,
4:12
Speaker 5: and who, together with us, are willing and able to
4:16
Speaker 5: defend it. And this is why we do not want
4:19
Speaker 5: allies to rationalize the broken status quo rather than reckoned
4:22
Speaker 5: with what is what is necessary to fix it. For
4:26
Speaker 5: we in America have no interest in being polite and
4:30
Speaker 5: orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline. We do not
4:36
Speaker 5: seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and
4:40
Speaker 5: renew the greatest civilization.
4:42
Speaker 3: In human history.
4:44
Speaker 5: What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that
4:47
Speaker 5: what has ailed our societies is not just a set
4:50
Speaker 5: of bad policies, but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency.
4:55
Speaker 5: An alliance is what The alliance that we want is
4:57
Speaker 5: one that is not paralyzed into an action by fear,
5:00
Speaker 5: fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead,
5:04
Speaker 5: we want an alliance that boldly races into the future,
5:08
Speaker 5: and the only fear we have is the fear of
5:11
Speaker 5: the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and
5:14
Speaker 5: wealthier for our children.
5:17
Speaker 3: You can tell me this isn't one of the best
5:19
Speaker 3: speeches A that he's given, and B if you hear
5:22
Speaker 3: the whole half hour speech, one of the best I've
5:24
Speaker 3: heard in thirty years since Reagan. An alliance ready, and
5:30
Speaker 3: Trump's first inaugural excellent speech.
5:33
Speaker 5: Alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests,
5:37
Speaker 5: and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us
5:39
Speaker 5: to shape.
5:39
Speaker 3: Our own destiny.
5:41
Speaker 5: Not one that exists to operate a global welfare state
5:44
Speaker 5: and atone for the purported sins of past generations. An
5:49
Speaker 5: alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained,
5:52
Speaker 5: or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does
5:57
Speaker 5: not depend on others for the critical necessities.
5:59
Speaker 3: Of its national life.
6:01
Speaker 5: And one that does not maintain the polite pretense that
6:04
Speaker 5: our way of life is just one among many, and
6:08
Speaker 5: that asks for permission before it acts. And above all,
6:12
Speaker 5: an alliance based on the recognition that we the West
6:17
Speaker 5: have inherited together what we have inherited together is something
6:21
Speaker 5: that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable, because this, after all,
6:28
Speaker 5: is the very foundation of the Transatlantic bond.
6:32
Speaker 3: So Secretary of Rubio did an amazing job, right, amazing job.
6:36
Speaker 3: And now the reason I applaud him is because I think,
6:39
Speaker 3: number one, it's super important that the United States stick
6:42
Speaker 3: with their policy positions, and in this case, we're talking
6:46
Speaker 3: about upholding values that are consistent with Western civilization. He says.
6:53
Speaker 3: Firsty he goes to Europe and he tells the Europeans,
6:57
Speaker 3: you're destroying Europe, and you're doing it because you're not
7:01
Speaker 3: holding on to your values. This is important right now.
7:06
Speaker 3: I always say, look, if you want to abandon your values,
7:09
Speaker 3: that's on you. You can do that. You're free to
7:11
Speaker 3: do it. But it doesn't mean the rest of us
7:13
Speaker 3: have to sit here and be quiet about it. Right
7:15
Speaker 3: This is why I get on this microphone every day.
7:17
Speaker 3: This is why a lot of people wake up and
7:18
Speaker 3: do what they do because holding on to tradition. I
7:21
Speaker 3: wish I could speak. Holding on to tradition is so important. Why,
7:26
Speaker 3: because of many reasons. If you don't hold on your tradition,
7:29
Speaker 3: you get what happens in Little Mogadishu. In, let's staying
7:35
Speaker 3: by that place in Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, that area,
7:40
Speaker 3: same thing. Right, They totally abandon their tradition. And now
7:43
Speaker 3: it's not about the Somalians being bad per se. It's
7:47
Speaker 3: about the Somalians bringing a new custom, one where they
7:51
Speaker 3: don't care because they come from a war torn place
7:54
Speaker 3: where the governments are corrupt. So they're like, oh, if
7:57
Speaker 3: the government's giving up money, hey, we're going to be
7:59
Speaker 3: corrupt and taken it just like they are to us.
8:01
Speaker 3: That's the issue. And oftentimes that happens when people have
8:05
Speaker 3: values that are inconsistent with Americanism. I'm going to use
8:09
Speaker 3: that word. So anyway, I just wanted to say I
8:11
Speaker 3: thought this was a fantastic speech. Leave it to Secretary
8:16
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio to go to Europe to tell them what
8:18
Speaker 3: they're doing wrong and get a standing ovation. At the end,
8:22
Speaker 3: he said, they've abandoned God and they've abandoned their values,
8:26
Speaker 3: their common culture. This is true. I've done the show
8:30
Speaker 3: from from Buddapest, Hungary, where Secretary Ruby actually landed today,
8:36
Speaker 3: and I can tell you they hold onto their culture.
8:38
Speaker 3: Nothing wrong with holding onto your culture. Of the United
8:40
Speaker 3: States is a different situation insomuch as we really are
8:45
Speaker 3: a melting pot because we are one. You're hard pressed
8:49
Speaker 3: to find black people in Hungary, hard pressed, you know,
8:54
Speaker 3: for every hundred white ones, you might see two black ones.
8:58
Speaker 3: At least that was my experience when I was in
8:59
Speaker 3: Blue Depeche. That was what I saw. It's not very common,
9:03
Speaker 3: and it's not racism. It's that people tend to stick
9:06
Speaker 3: with their own in that part of the world. Poland,
9:10
Speaker 3: same thing. It's just a it's religious, it's cultural, it's
9:16
Speaker 3: just how it is. That's how those societies largely are.
9:19
Speaker 3: Switzerland is a little less so. Denmark, right, Bernie Sanders'
9:25
Speaker 3: favorite Denmark healthcare is all right, you've heard that, right.
9:28
Speaker 3: That's another place where you're hard pressed to find black
9:31
Speaker 3: people or Puerto Rican people or any other people that
9:34
Speaker 3: aren't the brand of white that come from those Scandinavian countries.
9:40
Speaker 3: So anyway, I bring that up to say there is
9:43
Speaker 3: something to be said for holding on to tradition. Go
9:47
Speaker 3: again with that word, I can't say and for whatever reason,
9:50
Speaker 3: and it brings me to mind, not to get to philosophical,
9:54
Speaker 3: deep or preachy, but the Bible talks about being yoked
9:58
Speaker 3: equally or unequally, and this idea of being equally or
10:02
Speaker 3: unequally yoked is one of being with people that are
10:05
Speaker 3: like minded in the sense of faith and the sense
10:08
Speaker 3: of you know, following Christ. However, you can use this
10:13
Speaker 3: same advice for life, if you know, it's a nice
10:20
Speaker 3: idea to say, oh, yeah, this one grew up Catholic
10:22
Speaker 3: and they grew up Jewish and they got married to
10:24
Speaker 3: live happily ever after. It's a nice idea to say that,
10:28
Speaker 3: But in practice and in reality, I would say, in
10:30
Speaker 3: most cases it doesn't work. It's difficult to raise children.
10:35
Speaker 3: And I knew kids like this growing up. They say, oh, yeah, yeah,
10:38
Speaker 3: we have a Christmas tree out of Minora, I get
10:40
Speaker 3: Christmas gifts and Hanika gifts. That's cute. But at the
10:43
Speaker 3: end of the day, you've got to kind of know
10:45
Speaker 3: what your faith is. And at some point when that
10:48
Speaker 3: kid grows up, he's got to make a choice for
10:50
Speaker 3: himself and say, what do I want to be? If
10:52
Speaker 3: I want to be anything at all, it's not a
10:57
Speaker 3: I don't want to use the word real, because you
10:59
Speaker 3: can make anything you want real in your own life.
11:02
Speaker 3: But it's not a thing to do to take a
11:06
Speaker 3: faith that pre exists, right, a culture that pre exists
11:10
Speaker 3: and then change it. You can do it, but it
11:12
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's consistent with the rest of reality. If
11:15
Speaker 3: that makes sense. If you want to disagree with me,
11:17
Speaker 3: go over to head give me a call. Eight seven
11:18
Speaker 3: seven Valdez one. Will we get into your calls later on?
11:21
Speaker 3: And seven Valdez one. Now straight ahead, I want to
11:24
Speaker 3: show you what AOC did in contrast, right, AOC she
11:29
Speaker 3: was not far behind Marco Rubio. She said, Oh, we
11:31
Speaker 3: got this Latino over here that's coming to Europe to
11:34
Speaker 3: school the Europeans on foreign policy. I'm gonna show you
11:37
Speaker 3: a thing or two. Listen to AOC dropping some pearls
11:41
Speaker 3: of wisdom, dropping bombs of knowledge right here with respect
11:46
Speaker 3: to foreign policy.
11:47
Speaker 6: Take a look, would and should the US actually commit
11:51
Speaker 6: US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move.
11:56
Speaker 7: You know, I think that, uh, this is such a
12:03
Speaker 7: you know, I think that.
12:07
Speaker 3: I think that it's clear she doesn't have an answer
12:11
Speaker 3: or she's afraid to tell the truth.
12:13
Speaker 1: This is a.
12:17
Speaker 7: This is of course, a very long standing policy of
12:23
Speaker 7: the United States, and I think what we are hoping
12:27
Speaker 7: for is that we want to make sure that we
12:28
Speaker 7: never get to that point, and we want to make
12:32
Speaker 7: sure that we are moving in all of our economic
12:36
Speaker 7: research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation,
12:41
Speaker 7: and for that question to even arise, would and should.
12:46
Speaker 3: Be So the question is would and should You're hearing
12:49
Speaker 3: it again. The United States defend Taiwan right where they
12:54
Speaker 3: make a lot of our chips and where we have
12:57
Speaker 3: an understanding that we're going to defend them militarily should
13:01
Speaker 3: China strike again, AOC digging deep, the.
13:04
Speaker 6: Unctually commit US troops to defend Taiwan if China were
13:09
Speaker 6: to move.
13:11
Speaker 3: You know, you know, here's the issue again. Like I said,
13:18
Speaker 3: disingenuous at at worst, and I'm gonna say totally ignorant
13:28
Speaker 3: at best. Right, she really has no clue AOC all
13:32
Speaker 3: lot crazy by least favorite congress women from the bronx
13:34
Speaker 3: end queens, or she doesn't want to tell the truth. Right,
13:38
Speaker 3: We have to try everything first before we commit to
13:41
Speaker 3: the bottom line is this. She can say exactly what
13:43
Speaker 3: Trump would say. President Trump would say, well, you know,
13:48
Speaker 3: if they want to play around, we'll wipe out their infrastructure,
13:52
Speaker 3: We'll wipe up We'll drop a big bomb, mother of
13:54
Speaker 3: out bombs. Right, When was the last time Trump took
13:57
Speaker 3: any troops and actually put them somewhere for more than
14:00
Speaker 3: a little bit. Right, they were on the ground for
14:03
Speaker 3: about five seconds with Maduu. They got him, they took him,
14:06
Speaker 3: They left Venezuela. This is Trump's m He doesn't want
14:10
Speaker 3: to put troops on the ground. That's what he ran
14:12
Speaker 3: on in twenty sixteen. It's what he ran on in
14:14
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. He tried to spear had the effort to
14:18
Speaker 3: get the troops out of Afghanistan in a very peaceful manner,
14:22
Speaker 3: handed it off to joe Ed Baboso Biden, and man,
14:26
Speaker 3: did he crap the bed just like AOC is crapping
14:29
Speaker 3: the bed right now? This is again, what why people
14:34
Speaker 3: criticize her. I don't think she's as dumb as she's
14:36
Speaker 3: portraying herself to be right now. But she's not doing
14:40
Speaker 3: a good job now. I had a few other clips
14:42
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get for the sake of time,
14:43
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get to all of them. But
14:45
Speaker 3: she had a couple where she was really talking about
14:48
Speaker 3: collectivism and how we need to stand up for basic
14:52
Speaker 3: Marxism communist ideology. That got a thunderous applause. The Europeans
14:59
Speaker 3: really loved that. Id yea, this is the Puerto Rican
15:04
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders hard pass for me. Now I want to
15:09
Speaker 3: move on to Hillary Clinton. Secretary Clinton also in Europe.
15:13
Speaker 3: Everybody's in Europe this week trying to compete with Secretary
15:16
Speaker 3: of Rubio, and like I said, she brings in the
15:21
Speaker 3: first transcongress woman who was born a man, a biological male,
15:29
Speaker 3: to speak as the first guest in her panel on women.
15:36
Speaker 3: Take a look at this one. All right, let's go
15:47
Speaker 3: ahead with Madam Secretary. Go ahead.
15:49
Speaker 8: Someone who's been involved in this work for a long
15:54
Speaker 8: time in trying to explain and truly bring people together
16:01
Speaker 8: around issues of gender, and that's Sarah McBride, US congresswoman
16:07
Speaker 8: from the state of Delaware. You know as a gender
16:11
Speaker 8: rights champion and also the first openly transgender member of
16:17
Speaker 8: the United States Congress.
16:19
Speaker 3: You've been holdout a second. Are there not openly trans
16:23
Speaker 3: members of the United States Congress? Is what's going on?
16:26
Speaker 3: I don't know if I heard that right? Which the
16:28
Speaker 3: first openly trends that means that there are closed did
16:32
Speaker 3: it trans people in Congress? Besides her? I did not
16:37
Speaker 3: know this. Acquiring minds want.
16:39
Speaker 8: To know you've been on the front lines of this fight,
16:43
Speaker 8: and you've also been on the receiving end of so
16:46
Speaker 8: many threats and attacks that come from again, in many ways,
16:53
Speaker 8: organized efforts. So when you hear Neil talking about it
16:58
Speaker 8: from a European perspective, all these we did bring us
17:00
Speaker 8: in at the end. There, Sarah, how do you see
17:03
Speaker 8: it from the United States? And I want to underscore
17:07
Speaker 8: how truly effective Sarah has been in talking with her colleagues,
17:13
Speaker 8: first in the legislature or the state legislature in Delaware,
17:16
Speaker 8: now in Congress, and you have shown immense grace in
17:22
Speaker 8: the face of attacks, even from your fellow members of Congress.
17:26
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much for those incredibly kind words.
17:29
Speaker 9: It's an honor to be here with you, Secretary Clinton.
17:31
Speaker 9: It's an honor to be here with another trailblazer speaker
17:34
Speaker 9: Amrita Nancy Pelosi, and of course it's an honor to
17:37
Speaker 9: be here with my fellow panelists and the Mayor of Boston.
17:42
Speaker 1: Michelle Wu as well.
17:43
Speaker 9: Once politicians start naming other politicians in a room, it
17:46
Speaker 9: never stops. There is no question in the United States
17:51
Speaker 9: that after decades of historic progress on general equality, ri
17:55
Speaker 9: at large and specifically more recently on LGBTQ rights that
17:59
Speaker 9: we are facing saying, as you mentioned, a well organized,
18:02
Speaker 9: well funded, right wing regressive movement, and they really have
18:08
Speaker 9: placed trans people at the center of that effort. But
18:12
Speaker 9: we should be clear that the consequences of this anti
18:16
Speaker 9: trans effort, not only out of out of proximity, but
18:20
Speaker 9: out of intentionality, will include consequences for women of all backgrounds.
18:26
Speaker 3: Hold on a second, that's a lot of words. Sounded
18:30
Speaker 3: very fancy, very polished. Have no idea what she said,
18:32
Speaker 3: But what I think she said, risk woman McBride is
18:38
Speaker 3: that the right wing right conservatives Republicans in the United
18:44
Speaker 3: States have launched a concerted, organized, and well funded effort
18:52
Speaker 3: against individuals that are trans, and that somehow this is
18:57
Speaker 3: going to have an effect on all women. The only effect, Congressomen,
19:03
Speaker 3: with all respect, that we've seen today is women who
19:07
Speaker 3: are competing against trans women like you that are really
19:12
Speaker 3: men in sports and getting their orbital their eye sockets
19:16
Speaker 3: broken in that one UFC fight right cranial fractures. We're
19:21
Speaker 3: seeing these swimmers that are fantastic swimmers when they swim
19:25
Speaker 3: against girls, they're champions. They swim against a boy like
19:28
Speaker 3: Lea Thomas and then guess what, not the case anymore, right, So,
19:32
Speaker 3: I mean we've seen this time and again, and yeah,
19:34
Speaker 3: you're right, there is a real consequence for women. The
19:37
Speaker 3: consequence is that they're going to lose in sports and
19:40
Speaker 3: they're going to be mistreated. My own daughter, when she
19:43
Speaker 3: was in high school, had a situation where there was
19:47
Speaker 3: a boy that was trans went into the girls room.
19:50
Speaker 3: She told me she didn't feel comfortable, and she told
19:53
Speaker 3: me that she told the teacher that was right outside
19:55
Speaker 3: the girl's room, and the teacher said, well, you know,
19:59
Speaker 3: she he needs to be able to use the bathroom too,
20:02
Speaker 3: and made the other girls leave so that the boy girl,
20:05
Speaker 3: the trans girl, could use the restroom when there was
20:09
Speaker 3: an available, single stall like handicapped bathroom right in the vicinity.
20:15
Speaker 3: So the consequence for women is that they're going to
20:20
Speaker 3: be treated differently and that their definition and what they
20:24
Speaker 3: truly are is going to be erased.
20:27
Speaker 9: Because at the end of the day, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny,
20:32
Speaker 9: and sexism are all rooted in the same prejudice.
20:35
Speaker 3: That's spelled rich Valdez with an S and I'm just
20:37
Speaker 3: kidding ahead.
20:38
Speaker 1: Prejudice.
20:39
Speaker 9: The belief that one perception at birth should dictate who
20:41
Speaker 9: you are, how you act, what you do, who you love,
20:44
Speaker 9: and how you drest.
20:46
Speaker 3: Well, you're going a little far there, but it's one
20:50
Speaker 3: thing that happens at birth, right, It's like a mandate
20:52
Speaker 3: from God. You're born with certain genitalia and I don't
20:57
Speaker 3: know what is it? Ninety eight percent who are not
20:59
Speaker 3: her maes, who who don't have some sort of genetic malady?
21:04
Speaker 3: Guess what, Yeah, you're a man or a woman. You know.
21:07
Speaker 3: What's interesting is in this era of artificial intelligence, which
21:12
Speaker 3: is everywhere now right. We use it with some of
21:15
Speaker 3: our production, we use it with you name it. AI
21:19
Speaker 3: is being used everywhere to speed up workflows and whatnot.
21:23
Speaker 3: When you ask AI to design something, let's just say,
21:27
Speaker 3: or if it's reading something, it likely is going to
21:31
Speaker 3: fall on one of two sides, male or female. Right,
21:34
Speaker 3: if it sees an image right here, right, this image
21:37
Speaker 3: that we're looking at here on the screen, this paused
21:40
Speaker 3: image of Congresswoman Sarah McBride. I doubt it's going to
21:43
Speaker 3: say a transsexual woman unless it, you know, facial recognition
21:47
Speaker 3: realizes that that's McBride. Otherwise it's going to say a
21:52
Speaker 3: woman wearing a beige turtle neck with a golden necklace,
21:55
Speaker 3: a black blazer, and red auburn hair with glasses. Going
21:59
Speaker 3: to say a woman, not a trans woman, not a man?
22:03
Speaker 3: Why Because the AI isn't as i as you think, right,
22:08
Speaker 3: it's not as intelligent as we think. So these nuances
22:11
Speaker 3: that you're saying sentence you to a lifetime of manhood
22:15
Speaker 3: or womanhood. They kind of make sense, right, They're kind
22:18
Speaker 3: of a real thing. Go ahead.
22:20
Speaker 9: And it's why threats toward trans people are threats toward
22:25
Speaker 9: all women. Because when they use trans people as the
22:29
Speaker 9: tip of the spear, when they come after trans people
22:32
Speaker 9: as they are doing right now, using us as a
22:34
Speaker 9: political wedge issue, using people like me, using me as
22:37
Speaker 9: you mentioned, as a political pawn, not only are they
22:44
Speaker 9: licensing discrimination against trans people, they're sanctioning gender policing that
22:49
Speaker 9: we know in reality actually disproportionately targets non transgender someone.
23:03
Speaker 3: Yikes, right, WHOA. This is what happens when people lose
23:08
Speaker 3: sight of what really matters of who creates what? Right?
23:12
Speaker 3: Who is our creator? Where do we come from? What
23:15
Speaker 3: is what? And who is who? Excuse me? This is
23:18
Speaker 3: what goes on in the minds of those that are
23:22
Speaker 3: somewhere else. And all I could do is say, hey,
23:24
Speaker 3: I wish you the best. We're gonna pray for you,
23:26
Speaker 3: but you can't impose the crazy on everybody else. And
23:29
Speaker 3: I say the crazy because for many years this was
23:32
Speaker 3: considered mental illness, this gender nysph you and only in
23:35
Speaker 3: recent years that they got individuals that were trans themselves
23:39
Speaker 3: within the medical community to change their consensus belief. So
23:44
Speaker 3: I'll stick with my story. She could stick with hers,
23:48
Speaker 3: and we're gonna come right back because you won't believe
23:51
Speaker 3: what this one dad did to a little girl scout
23:55
Speaker 3: just trying to sell some cookies. Plus a mom tells
23:58
Speaker 3: us this crazy story of what happened in a lift
24:01
Speaker 3: iron Mike Tyson, he's back, He's back in a fight.
24:06
Speaker 3: You got to hear about this one. And Secretary RFK
24:09
Speaker 3: has a bunch of things to say about the Keto
24:11
Speaker 3: diet and what impact that may have on schizophrenia. Keep
24:15
Speaker 3: your locked right here, don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez,
24:19
Speaker 3: this is Ameria.
24:35
Speaker 1: This is Ameria.
24:44
Speaker 3: President Tom take you up, mister president. Welcome to the program.
24:47
Speaker 1: Sir, well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
24:50
Speaker 4: I know you very well, and I have I listened,
24:52
Speaker 4: but I have a lot of people that listen and
24:55
Speaker 4: they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.
24:57
Speaker 3: What's up on me? He goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez,
25:00
Speaker 3: keeping your company live and national. Actually we're actually live
25:05
Speaker 3: and international, believe it or not. Phone numbers you want
25:08
Speaker 3: to join us? Eight seven, seven Valdes one and seven
25:12
Speaker 3: Valades one. We're gonna talk about a bunch of things, right,
25:15
Speaker 3: it's making America healthy again. Make America healthy again. That's
25:19
Speaker 3: the initiative by Secretary Kennedy RFK Junior and Bobby Kennedy's
25:23
Speaker 3: been doing an amazing job, in my opinion, of running
25:26
Speaker 3: the Department of Health and Human Services. One of the
25:29
Speaker 3: things that I think is important to remember is these
25:33
Speaker 3: guys are attacking big food. Right. There's big pharma, big this,
25:37
Speaker 3: and big that, big food, the people that push the sugar,
25:40
Speaker 3: the people that push the foods that are carcinogenic, and
25:43
Speaker 3: all sorts of other things that are bad for you.
25:46
Speaker 3: This is a big deal. I think there's so many
25:48
Speaker 3: fat Americans that have had to deal with just bad,
25:55
Speaker 3: bad dietary policy. Right. The food pyramid. We talked about
26:00
Speaker 3: that a couple of weeks ago. Well, one of the
26:01
Speaker 3: things that I think they did that is really worth
26:04
Speaker 3: discussing is the research that they've done into the keto
26:08
Speaker 3: diet and how that can actually affect schizophrenia. I want
26:13
Speaker 3: you to take a look at this clip coming up
26:14
Speaker 3: with Secretary Kennedy. It's an eye open all right. So
26:18
Speaker 3: check this one out. This is Secretary Kennedy talking about
26:22
Speaker 3: the doctors now discovering they can cure schizophrenia with the
26:28
Speaker 3: keto diet. How about that? Check this out.
26:32
Speaker 4: Doctor Paulin up at Harvard has cured schizophrenia using ketodiets.
26:39
Speaker 4: There are studies right now that I saw it two
26:41
Speaker 4: days ago where people lose their bipolar diagnosis by changing
26:47
Speaker 4: their diet. It's not only affecting our physical health. It's
26:52
Speaker 4: affecting our metal health as well. And we're asking people
26:54
Speaker 4: now eat real food. I eat protein.
27:01
Speaker 3: Eat real food, eat protein. How about that?
27:05
Speaker 10: Right?
27:05
Speaker 3: He also said if it comes in a wrapper, leave
27:08
Speaker 3: it in the wrapper. I thought that was pretty cool.
27:10
Speaker 3: I'm not there yet. I still eat food out of
27:12
Speaker 3: a wrapper, but I get it. I get the point.
27:15
Speaker 3: Eat clean, eat healthy, live longer. This is important, right,
27:20
Speaker 3: Like I'm going to tell you a little bit about
27:22
Speaker 3: the my own experience with Keto, because it really was
27:27
Speaker 3: something lost a good amount of weight, went from almost
27:32
Speaker 3: three hundred pounds to uh at my lowest now I'm
27:36
Speaker 3: about one. I haven't hit two hundred in a while, thankfully,
27:40
Speaker 3: but I still try to watch what I eat a
27:42
Speaker 3: little bit. But listen, I've been eating not as great
27:44
Speaker 3: as I should. Right, I haven't hit my New Year's
27:47
Speaker 3: resolutions yet. I haven't been to the gym since Thanksgiving. Confession, right,
27:52
Speaker 3: do a little confession here. But again, I want to
27:55
Speaker 3: remind you we're going to get to your calls and
27:56
Speaker 3: a bunch of other stuff straight ahead eight seven seven
27:59
Speaker 3: Velvet US one as well as the Dear Richie segment
28:03
Speaker 3: at least I'm gonna tease that even if we don't
28:05
Speaker 3: get to it today. But that's and it's basically our
28:10
Speaker 3: television radio podcast advice column. Dear Richie, I'm going to
28:15
Speaker 3: give you advice on things I'm not qualified to give
28:17
Speaker 3: advice on. It's kind of funny anyway. I want to
28:20
Speaker 3: get to the next clip. The next clip is really
28:22
Speaker 3: interesting because it's Iron Mike Tyson. Now Iron Mike Tyson,
28:27
Speaker 3: you know, him. This guy is a champ. He's in
28:31
Speaker 3: the ring. He's not taking any prisoners. And Iron Mike Tyson,
28:35
Speaker 3: he says he's getting back in the ring. He's getting
28:38
Speaker 3: back in a fight. Who he's fighting, what he's fighting.
28:42
Speaker 3: That's the part I think you're going to be surprised about.
28:45
Speaker 3: He's fighting for your health. Check this out.
28:47
Speaker 11: I want to be a hero in this particular field
28:49
Speaker 11: because it affects my life. Every time I see someone
28:52
Speaker 11: who may be obefe that I have affinity for them,
28:55
Speaker 11: I want to be close to I want to talk
28:57
Speaker 11: to im, want to let them know that I'm their
28:58
Speaker 11: friend without saying you remind me and my sister, And
29:02
Speaker 11: I'm just very grateful to be here and fight this fight.
29:04
Speaker 11: It's gonna be a fight that's I look forward to.
29:08
Speaker 11: I was telling my experience that I had a sister
29:11
Speaker 11: that died at twenty five from on Ba City and
29:15
Speaker 11: where I come from with Brownsville, Brooklyn. It's the most violent,
29:19
Speaker 11: poverty strucken neighborhood in the City of New York, and
29:24
Speaker 11: ultra processed food was just the normal. Everything was processed food.
29:31
Speaker 11: We didn't have much money, but we had food stamps
29:33
Speaker 11: and food stamps from body, the candy, the sugar and
29:35
Speaker 11: all that Solda seventh and all that rotten stuff. And
29:38
Speaker 11: that's just all we knew. And the food that we
29:41
Speaker 11: ate was pretty much processed. It was getting its guts
29:44
Speaker 11: and stools and stuff with weird animals.
29:48
Speaker 3: For me, there, you can't make some of this stuff up.
29:50
Speaker 3: But I'm happy to see Iron Mike getting back in
29:53
Speaker 3: the ring. He's in the fight for something I think
29:55
Speaker 3: is a good cause, and personally, this is something that
29:59
Speaker 3: I could tended with. Right. I used to be almost
30:01
Speaker 3: three hundred pounds. Two hundred and sixty nine pounds is
30:04
Speaker 3: I think my top weight. I have a picture, maybe
30:07
Speaker 3: I'll put it on screen. This was a big deal
30:11
Speaker 3: for me, right, I thought I was the best thing ever.
30:13
Speaker 3: Right so right now, this is a forty two I
30:16
Speaker 3: think this suit or maybe a forty I'm not sure.
30:19
Speaker 3: Let me, I'm gonna check anyway. I used to wear
30:22
Speaker 3: a fifty, right, and my next size was eighteen or
30:27
Speaker 3: a seventeen and a half. Now I'm a medium. I
30:30
Speaker 3: wear a medium shirt, so whatever, that's sixteen and a
30:32
Speaker 3: half the regular size. You could buy stuff off the
30:36
Speaker 3: rack now or you being me so anyway, I'm proud
30:39
Speaker 3: of what happened. I'm proud of, you know, everything I
30:41
Speaker 3: did to get there, and I did it through the
30:43
Speaker 3: Keto diet. So to hear about how keto can affect
30:47
Speaker 3: people with mental illness, I'm pretty sure I had all
30:50
Speaker 3: sorts of mental illness right in addition to my ADHD
30:54
Speaker 3: I'm talking about, there's a lot of things that go on.
30:56
Speaker 3: I had a skin conditioned ecima that I had no
31:00
Speaker 3: idea that was linked directly to my diet. And as
31:03
Speaker 3: soon as I changed my diet, and I had it
31:05
Speaker 3: for years, I really thought it was the water. I
31:07
Speaker 3: thought it was all sorts of environmental things. Right. I
31:12
Speaker 3: went to the doctor that gave me allergy medicine. It
31:14
Speaker 3: helped a little bit, but ultimately it was what I
31:16
Speaker 3: was eating. It was the amount of sugar in the
31:20
Speaker 3: food was messing up my gut, causing me to have
31:23
Speaker 3: these these outbreaks on my calves. And I always knew
31:28
Speaker 3: if whenever I ate too much bread, too many carbs,
31:32
Speaker 3: too much anything that had like I don't want to
31:34
Speaker 3: say wheat, but wheat's probably a good indicator, but anything
31:38
Speaker 3: made out of flour, that stuff right away got my
31:42
Speaker 3: calf very itchy. It was like a mosquito bite almost,
31:45
Speaker 3: and it was always itchy, always itchy, always itchy, to
31:49
Speaker 3: the point where it was, you know, like a had
31:51
Speaker 3: a scab on it and it never healed. And finally
31:55
Speaker 3: my doctor told me, I don't know this is because
31:57
Speaker 3: your your your diet is all screwed up. So I
32:02
Speaker 3: say all that to say this stuff is important. Taking
32:06
Speaker 3: your health seriously is important. Now today, I'm happy to
32:09
Speaker 3: say I've used a bunch of really cool things, like
32:12
Speaker 3: this app called Noom had this app for a while.
32:15
Speaker 3: They were a sponsor of the show and newm was
32:18
Speaker 3: pretty cool and they helped you to kind of prioritize
32:23
Speaker 3: your day. The Keto diet was really the one that
32:24
Speaker 3: did it for me, though, you know, apps are cool
32:28
Speaker 3: as well as going to the gym. I went to
32:32
Speaker 3: the gym for almost all of the last three years,
32:36
Speaker 3: and this journey started in twenty seventeen, so it's been
32:39
Speaker 3: a lot more than three years. But it was a
32:40
Speaker 3: Keto diet where I really dropped about forty pounds and
32:45
Speaker 3: then sticking with low carb after that continue to lose weight.
32:48
Speaker 3: The gym helped me lose some weight. Other peptide stuff
32:52
Speaker 3: like that helped me lose a little bit of weight,
32:54
Speaker 3: but the bulk of it came with Keto and that's
32:57
Speaker 3: where it's at game changer, right. I mean I used
32:59
Speaker 3: to have a whole extra had no neck, had an
33:01
Speaker 3: extra gin. So listen. I say that because I think
33:04
Speaker 3: the stuff that they're talking about is important and they're related.
33:07
Speaker 3: The food we eat directly impacts how healthy we are,
33:11
Speaker 3: how happy we are, and how much we can make
33:13
Speaker 3: a difference in society. Anyway, don't go anywhere, keep it
33:16
Speaker 3: locked right here. There is more to come. We're going
33:18
Speaker 3: to talk about Girl Scout cookies. No, I'm not trying
33:20
Speaker 3: to sell you any but somebody was trying to donate
33:22
Speaker 3: to a little girl Scout who was doing a great
33:24
Speaker 3: job selling them, and this one dad got in the
33:28
Speaker 3: way of it. Unbelievable. So you're gonna hear about that,
33:31
Speaker 3: plus what these influencers are doing to gain advertising and
33:36
Speaker 3: help people at the same time. I think you're gonna
33:38
Speaker 3: enjoy that story. Plus, if we have time for all
33:41
Speaker 3: of it, we're going to get into how you can
33:44
Speaker 3: communicate with this program. Eight seven seven Valdes one eight
33:48
Speaker 3: seven seven Valdes and the number one at the end,
33:51
Speaker 3: and if we have a moment, we're going to get
33:53
Speaker 3: to your calls. I know we've got calls from a
33:54
Speaker 3: few people from California, from Canada. I want to get
33:58
Speaker 3: to you guys as quickly as I can, as soon
34:01
Speaker 3: as we get this stuff done in this segment, as
34:03
Speaker 3: well as the Dear Richie segment. Now, this is probably
34:07
Speaker 3: something I'm just going to tease because I don't think
34:09
Speaker 3: we're gonna be able to get to it right away.
34:10
Speaker 3: But the Dear Richie segment is something that I am
34:13
Speaker 3: totally unqualified to offer advice on. Right, So if you
34:17
Speaker 3: ask me about losing weight, I can give you a
34:18
Speaker 3: little advice on that. If you're morbidly obese, I can help.
34:22
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what my doctor told me. But I'm
34:24
Speaker 3: talking about things where like I'm divorced, I was married
34:27
Speaker 3: for ten years, didn't work, I never got married again.
34:32
Speaker 3: Actually have been very unsuccessful even with relationships after that. Right,
34:36
Speaker 3: there's a whole lot that I need to learn in
34:38
Speaker 3: areas I need to work on. So when it comes
34:40
Speaker 3: to relationships, I'm not the guy to give out advice,
34:43
Speaker 3: but happy to give you some. Give me a call
34:46
Speaker 3: during the Deer Richie segment. If you have any relationship
34:48
Speaker 3: questions or you can send it to us on social
34:52
Speaker 3: media at Rich Faldesk with an ass anyway, amigos, we're
34:55
Speaker 3: coming right back. Don't go anywhere if i'ming ya, I'm
34:57
Speaker 3: Rich Faldesk.
35:07
Speaker 1: This is America in glace or primal bara Rich Valdez
35:16
Speaker 1: e s O s America.
35:20
Speaker 12: Awara, what's up America?
35:44
Speaker 3: Welcome back? I am Rich val das Valdez with an
35:47
Speaker 3: ass that rich Vald's on all of the social media.
35:50
Speaker 3: And I want to get into this story about this dad.
35:53
Speaker 3: There's a dad who did something to me, the unthinkable,
35:57
Speaker 3: crushing his daughter's spirit. And she's such a good kid
36:00
Speaker 3: that she is a good sport, right and and you
36:04
Speaker 3: would have thought it was somebody else's dad, right, that
36:07
Speaker 3: it wasn't uh, this girl's dad, But it was this
36:10
Speaker 3: girl's dad. And I'm gonna play the tape for you.
36:14
Speaker 3: Check this out. Watch. I'll move give you one hundred
36:19
Speaker 3: for trying.
36:20
Speaker 13: But it's a stick.
36:26
Speaker 3: Yeah.
36:26
Speaker 2: Are you familiar with stick on me?
36:29
Speaker 12: Oh?
36:29
Speaker 13: Yeah, you get from all right, you know your people's
36:34
Speaker 13: sport trump, right, Yeah, that's right.
36:37
Speaker 1: Get back your much.
36:40
Speaker 3: Thanks anyway, god bless unbelievable. Right, Well, that's what happened.
36:45
Speaker 3: These people are totally savage, right, these people that are
36:49
Speaker 3: willing to destroy a kid's dreams, that are are happy to,
36:54
Speaker 3: I don't know, just to just be totally unfair to
36:59
Speaker 3: a little kid. I think, why, why all because you
37:03
Speaker 3: want to hate on Trump? Listen, I'm not here to
37:06
Speaker 3: be angry. Angry. He's not my stick, right, But we
37:09
Speaker 3: have a very sophisticated term in Spanish for people like this.
37:14
Speaker 3: They would say he is a tremendous tremendo bando this dad.
37:20
Speaker 3: I think what he's teaching his kid, Listen, he can
37:22
Speaker 3: teach his kid what he wants. Right. If it were
37:26
Speaker 3: some pro abortion people and they offered my kid something right,
37:29
Speaker 3: something I vehemently disagree with, then I'd probably say the
37:32
Speaker 3: same thing, give them their money back. But it sucks, right,
37:36
Speaker 3: It sucks to have to tell your kid that, But
37:38
Speaker 3: sometimes I have to learn those lessons. Now, I'm not
37:40
Speaker 3: saying he's teaching his kid a good lesson other than
37:45
Speaker 3: you know, I guess if we find a silver lining,
37:47
Speaker 3: it's hey, we don't believe in that stuff. But she
37:50
Speaker 3: did believe in that stuff, right, She liked sticker Mule.
37:52
Speaker 3: She thought it was cool. Now, what's the story with
37:55
Speaker 3: sticker Mule, And why is there this guy that appears
37:57
Speaker 3: to be a very jelly roll or very slim teddy
38:03
Speaker 3: swims right the country singers He's neither one. This guy's
38:06
Speaker 3: name I haven't written down here, Jason Jensen. He goes
38:10
Speaker 3: by the greatness. He's an influencer that has nearly twenty
38:14
Speaker 3: million followers online and he makes videos where he gives
38:17
Speaker 3: money away. That's his whole stick makes the videos, spreads kindness,
38:23
Speaker 3: God bless you, right, that's how he does it. Well,
38:25
Speaker 3: mister Jensen, mister Greatness has teamed up with the folks
38:31
Speaker 3: from Stickermule. The CEO of Stickermule, Anthony Constantino, says that
38:37
Speaker 3: instead of spending ten million dollars a year on advertising,
38:42
Speaker 3: he'd much rather give this money to people who are
38:46
Speaker 3: in need and just create videos around it, which will
38:50
Speaker 3: generate the advertising he needs.
38:51
Speaker 2: Watch this, Google along earns three hundred billion in advertising dollars,
38:56
Speaker 2: and Facebook's right behind them, bringing in almost two hundred
39:00
Speaker 2: billion a year in advertising revenue. My company, sticker Mill,
39:04
Speaker 2: spends tens of millions of dollars on advertising annually with
39:06
Speaker 2: these companies.
39:08
Speaker 3: I don't mind doing it.
39:09
Speaker 2: You have to advertise to grow your business. But today
39:12
Speaker 2: I'm changing our advertising strategy in a way that I
39:15
Speaker 2: hope others will copy. This year, five to ten percent
39:20
Speaker 2: of our advertising budget will be giving back directly to
39:22
Speaker 2: people instead of advertisers. It'll be given back in a
39:33
Speaker 2: very simple way. We're just we're just gonna put cast
39:36
Speaker 2: directly in people's hands. This year alone, were planning for
39:45
Speaker 2: millions in cash directly into the hands of people we
39:47
Speaker 2: meet on the street and shoot fun videos with It
39:50
Speaker 2: will be shared on social media. Please follow us.
39:56
Speaker 3: So how about that this CEO, he's doing the right
40:03
Speaker 3: thing right, He's out there, he's pressing the flesh, he's
40:05
Speaker 3: meeting with people. He's really trying to make an impact here.
40:10
Speaker 3: Rather than spending the ten million dollars that he spends
40:12
Speaker 3: in advertising other ways, he's trying to do it to
40:14
Speaker 3: actually help people. I think it's a great thing. So
40:16
Speaker 3: he got this guy out there. He wants to give
40:18
Speaker 3: the girl five hundred dollars or a thousand, whatever the
40:20
Speaker 3: offer was for the trivia questions. He just wanted to
40:24
Speaker 3: give her the money. And it was the dad who
40:27
Speaker 3: gets in the way now. And I approach this from
40:30
Speaker 3: two angles. One I tried to give you, you know, the
40:32
Speaker 3: devil's advocates right side of it, which is, hey, if
40:36
Speaker 3: that was your kid, how'd you feel if it was
40:37
Speaker 3: something you didn't believe it? Got it? But on the
40:40
Speaker 3: other side of things, it's the girl Scouts. Right, even
40:43
Speaker 3: if you don't believe in something. If some Sangublainhill comes
40:47
Speaker 3: over and he says, hey, look I am. You don't
40:51
Speaker 3: know me from a home in the world, but I
40:53
Speaker 3: want to donate to your kids, girl Scout cookies, you know.
40:59
Speaker 3: But for somebody saying I eat small children, you know
41:04
Speaker 3: we're evil, you know, I'm likely gonna say sure, because
41:08
Speaker 3: we don't typically qualify those things, right, We don't typically
41:12
Speaker 3: have a litmus test for people that are trying to assist. Right,
41:19
Speaker 3: If somebody comes into a church and they're passing the
41:21
Speaker 3: bucket around and the donation basket, people don't excuse me,
41:26
Speaker 3: what do you do? Are you a hit man? Are
41:28
Speaker 3: you a right? You put the money in, you say
41:31
Speaker 3: thank you, got bus, have a good day, take care
41:32
Speaker 3: between you and God. And I think this is much
41:35
Speaker 3: the same way, right. I think the little girl should
41:37
Speaker 3: have gotten her hundred bucks. I think that dad should
41:40
Speaker 3: have gotten out of it, you know, pushing his politics
41:43
Speaker 3: onto his kid my belief. I don't think I would
41:45
Speaker 3: have done that, but I might have. Right had it
41:48
Speaker 3: been like, hey, we're here from Nayral, I likely would
41:51
Speaker 3: have been like, what, bro keep a stepping right. I
41:54
Speaker 3: don't think I would have wanted to engage in that,
41:56
Speaker 3: or at least if nothing else, I would have taken
41:59
Speaker 3: my my little girl and said, hey, these are the
42:01
Speaker 3: people that you know stick a vacuum inside of women
42:05
Speaker 3: and vacuum up baby parts before their full term, and
42:09
Speaker 3: let her make that choice right. And my kids were
42:12
Speaker 3: exposed to stuff like that very early in life so
42:15
Speaker 3: that they wouldn't be led astray by the other people. Man.
42:18
Speaker 3: You know, today they have whatever opinions they have. I
42:20
Speaker 3: don't really get into it with them. I know, I
42:22
Speaker 3: do my job. I teach them what I think is right,
42:25
Speaker 3: and then I leave the rest to God. Anyway, that's
42:28
Speaker 3: that part. Let's see anything left here? Yep, your calls
42:35
Speaker 3: and more, don't go anywhere.
42:37
Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
42:53
Speaker 8: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
42:56
Speaker 8: to speak with Rich Valdees.
42:58
Speaker 1: Oh, very good. The honor is all yours.
43:06
Speaker 3: Conservative talk with a dash of Sofrito.
43:10
Speaker 1: Now here's Rich Valdez.
43:13
Speaker 3: All right, Leaders, welcome back as Rich Valdez. Happy to
43:16
Speaker 3: be here with you, keeping your company tonight and check
43:18
Speaker 3: this out. We have maintained the tradition of open phones America.
43:23
Speaker 3: Open phone America, open phones across America is a tradition
43:26
Speaker 3: that was started by the late Great Larry King when
43:28
Speaker 3: he used to have this time slot. I had the
43:32
Speaker 3: good fortune of taking over for Jim Bohannon, who took
43:34
Speaker 3: over for the late Larry King in a historic time
43:37
Speaker 3: slot on Westwood One with millions of listeners all across
43:40
Speaker 3: the country. And now that we've gone digital, we are
43:43
Speaker 3: maintaining this tradition with you all. We've had some of
43:47
Speaker 3: our favorite callers stick with us, and I think a
43:50
Speaker 3: few more are going to be coming through. I miss
43:52
Speaker 3: Paul and Miss Gil, I miss Denise. There's so many
43:55
Speaker 3: regulars that have always given us a call. Pat called in,
44:00
Speaker 3: which was really nice, and a couple other regulars we've
44:03
Speaker 3: heard from. But I got a call right now from Robbie.
44:08
Speaker 3: Robbie's calling us from San Diego. Let's hear what Robbie
44:11
Speaker 3: has to say. He wants to talk about Iran. Go ahead.
44:14
Speaker 3: I don't know how you guys are going to put
44:16
Speaker 3: this stuff on the screen, but let me know how
44:18
Speaker 3: it works, and hopefully everybody can hear the call. Yeah, Okay,
44:22
Speaker 3: go for it.
44:25
Speaker 13: Robbie from San Diego, California, San Diego, California, Hey, rab
44:29
Speaker 13: how are you? What I want to say is the
44:33
Speaker 13: Iran regime is almost certainly going to start killing like
44:38
Speaker 13: they did on January eighth to ninth. This time, there's
44:42
Speaker 13: going to be large protests in Iran starting around now,
44:45
Speaker 13: actually February seventeenth and eighteenth, which marks forty days from
44:48
Speaker 13: the mass killings that happened mainly on January eighth and
44:52
Speaker 13: ninth in Iran. And the regime already has said explicitly
44:58
Speaker 13: they want to put down these purchase the revolution to
45:02
Speaker 13: see it's not working, so they'd probably go to a
45:04
Speaker 13: whole other level. That means that action, military action is
45:08
Speaker 13: necessary now, not to wait until later. And that's for
45:11
Speaker 13: two reasons. One is that the people in Iran, if
45:14
Speaker 13: the people who support America and Iran are put down,
45:17
Speaker 13: we don't have a support on the ground in Iran
45:19
Speaker 13: anymore to anywhere near enough of a level. And the
45:22
Speaker 13: second thing is that Iran there aren't.
45:27
Speaker 3: I think we lost for Robbie, but Robbie's right. What
45:31
Speaker 3: ultimately happens here is I believe the President is being
45:37
Speaker 3: very judicious here, and I think he needs to. I
45:40
Speaker 3: would recommend right again. I don't have the information that
45:43
Speaker 3: President Trump has, and I know he's very reluctant to
45:46
Speaker 3: get into conflicts. But the numbers that we're hearing, I
45:49
Speaker 3: hope they're faked. That's okay. I pray to God that
45:51
Speaker 3: they haven't killed forty thousand people for speaking out against
45:55
Speaker 3: the Malas and the Ayatola and the regime in Iran,
45:59
Speaker 3: because man, imagine that. Imagine forty thousand people being killed. Now,
46:04
Speaker 3: I've seen some videos. He got a couple of cops
46:06
Speaker 3: on these dirt bikes, motorcycles, ones on the back with
46:10
Speaker 3: a rifle, drive by shootings of people that they believe
46:14
Speaker 3: our protesters. They're they're pulling up on them and they're
46:17
Speaker 3: filling them with lead. Crazy stuff. I mean, it doesn't
46:22
Speaker 3: even fit in my brain. I have a friend that
46:26
Speaker 3: we grew up together. When I moved to Jersey and
46:29
Speaker 3: he's a good guy, got into some trouble. Was born
46:34
Speaker 3: in a different country. And because he was born in
46:37
Speaker 3: Nicaragua and came here as a young young man. After
46:40
Speaker 3: he did his time, he had to go back to
46:42
Speaker 3: Nicaragua when he's there now. And I remember him calling
46:44
Speaker 3: me once and saying, Bro, it's a different story around here.
46:47
Speaker 3: They do things different, you know, Daniel Ortega. These guys
46:52
Speaker 3: are communists over there. And I remember him telling me
46:55
Speaker 3: that they were shooting the people that didn't agree with them.
46:59
Speaker 3: And he was like, it's why, bro, they just shoot
47:00
Speaker 3: you in the street dead. And I had a hard time,
47:04
Speaker 3: I don't want to say believing it, but believing it.
47:07
Speaker 3: I didn't think he was lying. I just I didn't
47:10
Speaker 3: know they still did that, right. And this is just,
47:12
Speaker 3: you know, within the last ten or twelve years that
47:15
Speaker 3: he told me that wild stuff actually does happen. Absolutely insanity.
47:21
Speaker 3: All right, let us continue. I want to go to
47:24
Speaker 3: our caller, Antonio. Antonio is calling us from Montreal, Canada. Antonio,
47:31
Speaker 3: talk to us about Congressman Nathler.
47:34
Speaker 10: Tony in Montreal.
47:35
Speaker 3: How you doing, rich, good brother?
47:38
Speaker 10: The next novel I write will be the Death of
47:40
Speaker 10: Shame and I'm going to start with politicians in the
47:42
Speaker 10: United States. Will start with Jerry Nadler, the New York
47:46
Speaker 10: con Edison gnom passing gas and sleeping in Congress on
47:50
Speaker 10: a regular basis, come apart for the course over his
47:55
Speaker 10: forty year career period, wasting wasting taxpayer money while thus
48:03
Speaker 10: cropping his congressional associates by passing gas and snoring in
48:10
Speaker 10: the Congress. Couldn't ask for a better rep from New York.
48:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, Nadler is a piece of work, Tony. You know,
48:18
Speaker 3: I mean he was incredibly fat. Right, If I was
48:22
Speaker 3: pushing three hundred, he was pushing six. Right, he was
48:25
Speaker 3: probably five twenty five five fifty some years ago. If
48:29
Speaker 3: I'm exaggerating, it was four twenty five, four fifty, right,
48:32
Speaker 3: I'm not off by much here. He was a or
48:36
Speaker 3: extraordinarily large man. And it was wild to see, actually
48:42
Speaker 3: how how big Nadler was. Anyway, Tony, I think you're
48:47
Speaker 3: you're right that we should get a refund. Right, if
48:49
Speaker 3: you're gonna be sleeping in Congress, we want a refund.
48:51
Speaker 3: We don't want to pay you. I love that AOC.
48:53
Speaker 3: If you're gonna be in Berlin and you're gonna be
48:56
Speaker 3: all out crazy and you're not going to know how
49:01
Speaker 3: to answer an actual question about should the United States
49:04
Speaker 3: do what it's supposed to do with respect to having
49:08
Speaker 3: the back of Taiwan. Then yeah, you deserve to You
49:15
Speaker 3: deserve to get a doc and pat it. I love
49:17
Speaker 3: this plan, Tony, that we should be doing that. I
49:21
Speaker 3: think you've got my vote. Right if you ever come
49:24
Speaker 3: to America and you become a naturalized citizen, you run
49:27
Speaker 3: for Congress, You've got my vote because I think that's
49:30
Speaker 3: something that we need to be doing. Tony in Montreal, Canada.
49:34
Speaker 3: Thank you for your call. Anybody else want to join us?
49:36
Speaker 3: You know how to do it? Eight seven seven Valdez
49:38
Speaker 3: one one and I want to, uh, what's that? Okay? Sorry,
49:48
Speaker 3: I go like that like I'm trying, I'm trying to listen.
49:51
Speaker 3: I want to talk about a couple of more things
49:53
Speaker 3: very quickly. There's something called the Valdez VIP vault. And
49:58
Speaker 3: this is something I'm not even supposed to be talking
50:00
Speaker 3: about just yet, but I'm putting out there just as
50:02
Speaker 3: kind of like a tease. I guess this is going
50:05
Speaker 3: to be a subscription that's totally voluntary. You're not going
50:09
Speaker 3: to lose out on anything that you typically get for free.
50:12
Speaker 3: We're still doing what we do absolutely free. Listen to
50:15
Speaker 3: the ads. That's how radio and podcasts and TV work,
50:18
Speaker 3: and we'll continue to do at supportive programming at no
50:22
Speaker 3: cost to you. However, some people have reached out and
50:26
Speaker 3: they've had very specific things that are like, Rich, I'd
50:29
Speaker 3: like to pick your brain about something, or I would
50:31
Speaker 3: love for you to maybe introduce me to somebody that
50:33
Speaker 3: you had on the show that I know you have
50:34
Speaker 3: a relationship and listen. I call you my film media,
50:37
Speaker 3: I call you my amigos, and all of that is true.
50:41
Speaker 3: I barely know most of you, but I want to
50:43
Speaker 3: get to know as many of you as I can.
50:45
Speaker 3: With ninety million subscribers in North America just on Roku alone,
50:51
Speaker 3: the millions that have listened on radio over the years,
50:54
Speaker 3: as well as hundreds of thousands of podcast impressions that
50:59
Speaker 3: we get every month. So I want to make sure
51:02
Speaker 3: that we all have a chance to get together. And
51:05
Speaker 3: that's why we're going to be having I don't know
51:07
Speaker 3: if it's gonna be like a Liberty luncheon or like
51:09
Speaker 3: a dinner, but that's just one thing that we'll be
51:11
Speaker 3: doing once a year, as well as maybe a couple
51:14
Speaker 3: of one on one calls or small group calls that
51:17
Speaker 3: are kind of like this, almost like a zoom type
51:19
Speaker 3: of thing. So we're going to be doing that. That's
51:21
Speaker 3: the Valvedez vip vault. There'll be two tiers of that.
51:25
Speaker 3: It's a membership, you buy it. This is something else
51:28
Speaker 3: proposed to me, and I thought, actually, I like the
51:31
Speaker 3: idea just because people have told me that they might
51:33
Speaker 3: benefit from it. I'm not always looking for something else
51:36
Speaker 3: to do unless it's more talking. I like more talking, right,
51:39
Speaker 3: If it's a New York Post calls me, yes, I
51:41
Speaker 3: will do it. News Max, you got it anytime you
51:44
Speaker 3: need me? Who else? Who else? The radio stations, I
51:48
Speaker 3: do those all the time. You know me. I love
51:50
Speaker 3: radio runs in my veins. I need a microphone. But
51:54
Speaker 3: before I go, I wanted to talk to you about
51:56
Speaker 3: something that was interesting, because I've mentioned this Guthrie case
52:01
Speaker 3: a number of times and I haven't gotten into it,
52:04
Speaker 3: mainly because a true prime isn't my shtick, right. I
52:08
Speaker 3: like to hear about it, but it's not really something
52:10
Speaker 3: that I have a lot of experience in covering. I
52:12
Speaker 3: never really know what details to bring you. And this
52:15
Speaker 3: has been, in my opinion, a very slow moving case
52:18
Speaker 3: where we don't have a lot of details. Then they
52:20
Speaker 3: get the guy, then we don't have the guy, then
52:22
Speaker 3: we get the guy, and then we don't have the guy.
52:24
Speaker 3: So what I'm going to say is this, we have
52:28
Speaker 3: a number of really good guests and one that I
52:32
Speaker 3: in particular, I'm going to reach out to. I'm going
52:35
Speaker 3: to have some of from our team reach out to
52:37
Speaker 3: her people to see if we can get this going
52:39
Speaker 3: is doctor Carol Lieberman. Doctor Carol Liberman is a fan favorite.
52:42
Speaker 3: She's been on the show many many times, and she's
52:45
Speaker 3: a forensic psychologist. She's known as America's terrorist therapist. She
52:49
Speaker 3: is a profiler and expert witness. She's done this on
52:53
Speaker 3: Court TV and in court forever since the time of
52:58
Speaker 3: nine to eleven, right when she was headstreng the terrorists
53:01
Speaker 3: that blew up the World Trade Center. So I want
53:03
Speaker 3: to get doctor Carroll's take on what's going on with this.
53:06
Speaker 3: Savannah Guthrie's mom and number one, I don't want to
53:09
Speaker 3: sound flippant about this. God speak to this woman. This
53:13
Speaker 3: poor woman's eighty four years old and the initial report
53:16
Speaker 3: said she might have been abducted from her bedroom. I
53:20
Speaker 3: can't imagine anybody doing anything so heinous. So my thoughts
53:24
Speaker 3: and prayers are with the Guthrie family for sure, and
53:26
Speaker 3: looking forward to getting doctor caroll On and a couple
53:29
Speaker 3: other interesting people this week to get some updates on
53:32
Speaker 3: a number of things that are happening. He's a lot
53:33
Speaker 3: of movement going on. Maybe we've got somebody up. Maybe
53:36
Speaker 3: we'll get General Hope to come on to talk to
53:39
Speaker 3: us about some of this European stuff, since he was
53:41
Speaker 3: the deputy representative over at NATO. But that's it for
53:45
Speaker 3: me today. Astall, aproxima, take care, good night, and God
53:48
Speaker 3: bless you America. I always like to leave you with
53:51
Speaker 3: a thought, and that is you got to stand for something,
53:54
Speaker 3: because if you stand for a nothing, you fall for
53:56
Speaker 3: absolutely anything. And the only thing necessary evil to triumph
54:01
Speaker 3: is for good people like you to sit there and
54:03
Speaker 3: do nothing. So now's the time for you to stand up,
54:06
Speaker 3: do something. I start, approxima. I'm Richilda, and this is America.
54:12
Speaker 1: This is America.
54:24
Speaker 3: We live in a remarkable time in human history right now,
54:27
Speaker 3: one in which our technology has dramatically improved our living standards.
54:32
Speaker 3: That's because the people that design and build the modern
54:36
Speaker 3: wonders that make our lives better are bound by physical reality,
54:40
Speaker 3: a world in which things either work or they don't work. Unfortunately,
54:44
Speaker 3: those who oversee our political and educational institutions aren't limited
54:48
Speaker 3: by these same constraints. Instead, they often implement their agendas
54:52
Speaker 3: by exploiting people's ignorance on issues like taxes and immigration.
54:56
Speaker 3: So where do we go to get the facts? Well,
54:58
Speaker 3: you listen to this as America, But if you're online,

55:16
Speaker 3: time of dire need for truth in America. Our national
55:20
Speaker 3: dialogue is riddled with fake news and fake facts, and
55:24
Speaker 3: our country desperately needs a reliable starting point for informed
55:27
Speaker 3: debate over our nation's future. Our friends at just Facts
55:30
Speaker 3: started that organization for such a time as this. So
