0:33

0:37
Speaker 6: Blessed and happy to be here with you.
0:39
Speaker 4: Your phone number is eight seven seven Valdes one eight
0:43
Speaker 4: seven seven eight two five three three seven one. And man,
0:47
Speaker 4: where do I start? Lots to discuss, let me see,
0:51
Speaker 4: let me see. Well, I guess we'll start with a
0:56
Speaker 4: trompto Donaldus, Magnus and man if like Christmas came early?
1:01
Speaker 4: Right because the President Donald Trump Donald J. Trump, the
1:04
Speaker 4: forty fifth to forty seventh president of these United States.
1:07
Speaker 6: Guess what?
1:07
Speaker 4: He just dropped the hammer on big pharma today in
1:10
Speaker 4: the Roosevelt Room with nine drug companies. Am Jen Murk Novartist,
1:15
Speaker 4: the whole crew signing deals to slash pisces on medication
1:20
Speaker 4: for Medicaid and cash payers matching the lowest costs worldwide.
1:25
Speaker 4: Diabetes pills are going to be dropping hundreds of dollars,
1:29
Speaker 4: cholesterol fighters way cheaper. Real relief actually hitting the wallets
1:33
Speaker 4: of Americans right before the holidays. And it took a
1:36
Speaker 4: little arm twisting, I would imagine from El Trumpeto and
1:39
Speaker 4: those beautiful tariffs, the beautiful tariffs that he laid on
1:43
Speaker 4: the table. But hey, negotiation works better than mandates, right,
1:47
Speaker 4: at least that's what I think.
1:48
Speaker 6: Now.
1:50
Speaker 4: It's it's just how it goes, you know. It's kind
1:55
Speaker 4: of like, you know, if you're at a paranda, right,
1:57
Speaker 4: paranda is a cavan of singing and Christmas caroling, right,
2:02
Speaker 4: Christmas carols in Puerto Rico they called them aguinaldos. And
2:06
Speaker 4: if you are singing aguinaldos in the baranda, right, your
2:10
Speaker 4: little caravan going door to door, getting people knocking on
2:13
Speaker 4: the door, different people bringing their instruments, all the neighbors
2:16
Speaker 4: coming out, and everybody's you know, drinking coquito and going
2:20
Speaker 4: house to house down the block and just celebrating after midnight.
2:23
Speaker 6: Mess that's the tradition.
2:25
Speaker 4: So if you're doing that, and you tell, you know,
2:29
Speaker 4: one of your theos, one of your mesinos, one of
2:32
Speaker 4: your neighbors, you know, hey, lower the price on the
2:36
Speaker 4: coquito or or no more. I don't know, little fried things,
2:42
Speaker 4: little fried codfish fritters, bacala ethos. Right, no more bak
2:46
Speaker 4: ala ethos for you, And guess what they say? All right,
2:51
Speaker 4: hold on a second, let's work this out right. We
2:54
Speaker 4: want to keep the bak ala ethos going. So that's
2:58
Speaker 4: the the street analogy I'm giving you for how Trump
3:02
Speaker 4: twisted their arms. And it's great. It's great to see
3:05
Speaker 4: what happened. These drug prices needed to come down, and
3:08
Speaker 4: they did come down, and I'm glad they are coming down.
3:13
Speaker 4: I'm not like the guys on the left that'll sit
3:15
Speaker 4: here and tell you, oh, because they've been ripping us
3:17
Speaker 4: off all along. Now I think you know they're doing
3:20
Speaker 4: what they do. The market is the market. If I
3:23
Speaker 4: could charge seven hundred thousand dollars a year for the
3:26
Speaker 4: work I do, I would do it. If somebody's paying me,
3:28
Speaker 4: I'm taking it now. Guess what the market doesn't command that.
3:33
Speaker 4: I can barely get half of that if I'm lucky
3:37
Speaker 4: and I don't think I'm lucky. So the point is
3:40
Speaker 4: you can only go as far as the market allows,
3:43
Speaker 4: and then you negotiate to go below market. And that's
3:46
Speaker 4: where it don't beat those specializes in getting things done.
3:49
Speaker 4: Kudos to him. And again, like I said, several of
3:51
Speaker 4: these companies really stepping in. I got a little audio
3:54
Speaker 4: from this check this out, and.
3:56
Speaker 3: I said, you know, I'll bet you if I called
3:57
Speaker 3: a meeting of the insurance companies see companies that are
4:01
Speaker 3: involved with healthcare costs, I would be willing to bet.
4:06
Speaker 3: I think that they would reduce their prices very very substantial.
4:10
Speaker 7: We could have fair health care in the country.
4:12
Speaker 3: Now my initial thought, and this is what I want
4:15
Speaker 3: to do as of right now.
4:16
Speaker 7: This is the alternative, is that all.
4:18
Speaker 3: Of the billions and billions, ultimately trillions and trillions of
4:23
Speaker 3: dollars that's paid to these companies, We're going to pay
4:26
Speaker 3: directly to the people. But there's another way of doing it,
4:29
Speaker 3: and that's getting the insurance companies to ease up and
4:34
Speaker 3: to cut their pricing way way down and stay part
4:37
Speaker 3: of the system.
4:38
Speaker 7: So I'm going to call a meeting.
4:39
Speaker 3: It could be in Florida this coming week, or it
4:42
Speaker 3: could be back in the White House the first week,
4:45
Speaker 3: not the second to third week.
4:47
Speaker 4: So that's President Trump talking about a meeting and again
4:50
Speaker 4: in exchange, what the companies are going to do. They agree,
4:52
Speaker 4: the pharma companies they've agreed to a three year grace
4:55
Speaker 4: period during which their products won't face Trump's plan pharmaceutical
5:00
Speaker 4: tariffs as long as the drug makers further invest in
5:04
Speaker 4: US manufacturing.
5:05
Speaker 6: I don't know.
5:06
Speaker 4: It kind of sounds like America First, America First. I
5:10
Speaker 4: think I love it. It seems to be working really
5:12
Speaker 4: really well. The only thing you can do to criticize
5:15
Speaker 4: Trump on this is, you know, hate the well being
5:17
Speaker 4: of people. And I'm sure there's some people out there
5:19
Speaker 4: that do hate the well being of people because that's
5:21
Speaker 4: just how some people are. But anyway, I want to
5:25
Speaker 4: keep going on this because Bristol Myers Squib is going
5:28
Speaker 4: to offer Eloquist. It's a blockbuster blood thinner medicine. It's
5:32
Speaker 4: their top prescribed product, and they're going to be offering
5:35
Speaker 4: it for free to medicate. Talk about somebody trying to
5:39
Speaker 4: one up the other guy. And you got all these
5:41
Speaker 4: companies again, Merk, Bristol Myers, Squib, am, Jen, Gilead, Glaxo,
5:47
Speaker 4: Smith Klein, Sonofi, Roche, Gene Tech, bull Ringer, Ingelheim, Novarties.
5:55
Speaker 4: All of these companies agreed to a three year grace period.
5:59
Speaker 4: I love it, do we got here? The companies make
6:01
Speaker 4: up the majority of the seventeen drug makers blah blah
6:04
Speaker 4: blah blah blah as of today. Let me see I
6:06
Speaker 4: might have the audio on that too. Let's see if
6:08
Speaker 4: we have a second clip of l Trumpito stand by
6:11
Speaker 4: play it if you got it.
6:12
Speaker 3: Next year, American drug prices will come down fast and furious,
6:16
Speaker 3: and will soon be among the lowest in the developed world. So,
6:19
Speaker 3: in other words, whatever the lowest price for a certain drug,
6:24
Speaker 3: of which these companies make much of it, whatever the
6:29
Speaker 3: lowest prices is, that price will come down to that price.
6:33
Speaker 3: So we will get the lowest price anywhere in the world.
6:35
Speaker 3: If they're lower in England than they are in Germany,
6:37
Speaker 3: we take the England price. As of today, fourteen out
6:41
Speaker 3: of the seventeen largest pharmaceutical companies, but they've all agreed
6:44
Speaker 3: have now agreed to drastically lower drug prices for their
6:49
Speaker 3: American patients.
6:50
Speaker 7: For the American people and patients, this.
6:53
Speaker 3: Represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the history
6:56
Speaker 3: of American healthcare by far, and every single American will benefit.
7:01
Speaker 3: So this is the biggest thing ever to happen on
7:04
Speaker 3: drug pricing and on healthcare.
7:06
Speaker 6: I love it.
7:07
Speaker 4: The biggest thing to ever happen in American healthcare with
7:12
Speaker 4: respect to drug pricing.
7:13
Speaker 6: El Trumpito.
7:14
Speaker 4: Is he gonna get credit for this or is he
7:16
Speaker 4: gonna get overshadowed by the Epstein files that were released
7:20
Speaker 4: with I don't know. It seems like picture after picture,
7:23
Speaker 4: two hundred and thousand, two hundred thousand plus pages of documents,
7:30
Speaker 4: and I would say, on one hundred and ninety nine thousand,
7:32
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding, by the way, but being hyperbolic here,
7:35
Speaker 4: most of them are Bill Clinton.
7:37
Speaker 6: Man.
7:37
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton was swimming naked with these people. Who's having
7:40
Speaker 4: a grand old time. Bill Clinton hangs out with a
7:43
Speaker 4: lot of women. I gotta say, Bill Clinton is a pimp,
7:48
Speaker 4: and I mean that in the colloquial street sense of
7:50
Speaker 4: the word, not in the actual dictionary definition. Anyway, That's
7:55
Speaker 4: what's going on there. Let's see what else we got
7:57
Speaker 4: going on here Epstein file. Let's see Clinton in the
8:02
Speaker 4: hot to barely see anything about Ed Trompito and those things.
8:07
Speaker 4: Last week they put out a week before, they put
8:09
Speaker 4: out a picture of Trump, and there were some images
8:12
Speaker 4: of him with a few women, like attractive younger women,
8:15
Speaker 4: and their faces were blocked out. Turned out they were
8:19
Speaker 4: all like, you know, in their twenties. They weren't miners
8:21
Speaker 4: or anything, and they weren't a secret but the Democrats
8:25
Speaker 4: decided to block their faces and make it look like
8:28
Speaker 4: they were younger than they were, like protecting the identity
8:31
Speaker 4: of the of a minor or something, when in reality.
8:35
Speaker 6: These are people that just were like, hey, are you
8:36
Speaker 6: Donald Trump? I want to take a picture with you.
8:38
Speaker 4: Really, It's just crazy the way they do what they do,
8:41
Speaker 4: but they do it. And I want to keep today's
8:44
Speaker 4: show light and fun, not a lot of heavy political stuff.
8:47
Speaker 6: I just want to talk about I don't.
8:48
Speaker 4: Know what it's gonna be, like a morning drive radio
8:50
Speaker 4: show where we talk about a whole lot of fun
8:52
Speaker 4: stuff minus to traffic and weather and just keeping it
8:57
Speaker 4: fun and light.
8:58
Speaker 6: There's a viral story it's blowing up today.
9:01
Speaker 4: The couple they meet when she slides into his DMS
9:07
Speaker 4: after a chance, you know, to get to know each other.
9:10
Speaker 4: The sparks fly a little bit. She flies all the
9:12
Speaker 4: way to Ireland to meet this guy in person, and boom,
9:16
Speaker 4: a proposal happens right under the cliffs. Millions watching their journey,
9:20
Speaker 4: commenting all over social media like when's the wedding? I'm
9:24
Speaker 4: bringing the air fryer. It's literally pure romantic comedy magic.
9:30
Speaker 4: It reminds us that love is still out there. There's
9:33
Speaker 4: no app, no algorithm needed, just courage and a plane ticket.
9:37
Speaker 8: Right.
9:38
Speaker 4: If there's that spark, you follow it. There's an old
9:41
Speaker 4: saying it's better to have loved and lost than to
9:44
Speaker 4: have never loved at all. And I would say three
9:48
Speaker 4: to four days out of the week I believe that.
9:50
Speaker 4: Then there's days right now, but I will say I've
9:53
Speaker 4: been in love twice. Most days, I'll say it was
9:57
Speaker 4: worth it each time.
9:58
Speaker 6: Anyway.
9:58
Speaker 4: Then there's also a quick lifestyle hit that I want
10:01
Speaker 4: to talk about, the quarter zip. Right this is the
10:04
Speaker 4: uh I guess, the the pullover dajure. It's a viral
10:10
Speaker 4: fashion takeover. According to what I'm reading here, guys are
10:15
Speaker 4: ditching hoodies for that classy pullover vibe.
10:18
Speaker 6: I think that's true. Quarter zips are a lot of fun.
10:21
Speaker 4: They're versatile, you know, for the guys that drink macha
10:24
Speaker 4: instead of cofasitos and Joan Didion, you better have her
10:31
Speaker 4: quotes ready because you kind of look sophisticated comfortable, definitely,
10:36
Speaker 4: rich Veld does approved. I only have one or two,
10:38
Speaker 4: and I don't wear them all the time, only because
10:40
Speaker 4: I like to be able to take things off without
10:43
Speaker 4: using the pullover feature, right. I don't like to slide
10:46
Speaker 4: them over my head, so I prefer the full zip
10:49
Speaker 4: as opposed to the quarter zip. But hey, who am
10:53
Speaker 4: I Anyway, you gotta stay sharp, and the quarter zips
10:57
Speaker 4: are good because you know you don't have to tuck
10:59
Speaker 4: them in. So if the belly grows a little bit
11:01
Speaker 4: after that, no chebuena dinner, the feast for the holidays,
11:06
Speaker 4: well guess what you know, you can kind of hide
11:09
Speaker 4: it a little bit better, especially when you're taking those
11:11
Speaker 4: family photos and you don't have to have any fair
11:14
Speaker 4: need spilling out of your shirt.
11:17
Speaker 6: Anyway.
11:19
Speaker 4: The good news is stacking up, like presence under the
11:22
Speaker 4: Christmas tree. We got lower bills, lower gas prices, the
11:25
Speaker 4: Epstein stuff coming out, no edge trumpito anywhere inside. The
11:30
Speaker 4: love is in the air with this couple that just
11:33
Speaker 4: met and got married in the UK, or I should say,
11:35
Speaker 4: in Scotland, and those things are all fine.
11:39
Speaker 6: And dandy and I love it.
11:40
Speaker 3: Now.
11:40
Speaker 4: If you want to chime in on any of that stuff,
11:42
Speaker 4: plus other stuff that I'm going to get to, give
11:44
Speaker 4: me a call. You know the number eight seven seven
11:47
Speaker 4: Valdes one, that's eight seven seven.
11:50
Speaker 6: I hope I get to some of your calls today.
11:51
Speaker 6: I may not.
11:52
Speaker 4: Eight twenty five thirty three seventy one. Don't go anywhere.
11:57
Speaker 4: I'm Rich Valdez.
11:59
Speaker 1: This is America. This is America, all.
12:38
Speaker 6: Right, and he goes, welcome back.
12:39
Speaker 4: It's rich Valdes Valdeste with an s that Rich Valdesta
12:42
Speaker 4: on all of the social media. And I want to
12:45
Speaker 4: get into a few things. I forgot to mention something
12:48
Speaker 4: I teased. I think yesterday's show I talked about Kim Madiadis,
12:52
Speaker 4: the former vice president of these United States. Kamala Harris
12:57
Speaker 4: cam Madadis means how bad she is in Spanish and
13:01
Speaker 4: how bad you are technically. And I didn't get to
13:05
Speaker 4: the clip of kem Alidis. I'm going to get to
13:07
Speaker 4: it today. I promised a little bit later. But in
13:11
Speaker 4: addition to ke Malidas, you got Michelle Obama, she's out
13:14
Speaker 4: there making the rounds. There's a bunch of different people
13:16
Speaker 4: out there making the rounds. Jasmine Crockets out there making
13:20
Speaker 4: the rounds, you know, just a few funny ones. And
13:24
Speaker 4: I don't know, I just don't feel like getting to
13:25
Speaker 4: that stuff right now. I want to keep it.
13:29
Speaker 8: You know.
13:29
Speaker 4: Those people get my blood pressure going, and I like
13:32
Speaker 4: to keep my blood pressure kind of cool, like a cucumber,
13:35
Speaker 4: if you know what I mean. You know, every now
13:36
Speaker 4: and again, if I can be so bold as to
13:39
Speaker 4: go off my notepad here every now and again, I
13:43
Speaker 4: want to just have fun. I started in radio on
13:48
Speaker 4: the weekends, and weekend radios is a lot of fun
13:52
Speaker 4: because it's the weekend, right, so you get to experiment
13:57
Speaker 4: with things that you.
13:57
Speaker 6: Don't normally get to do.
13:58
Speaker 4: You get to do different tops, get you could do
14:00
Speaker 4: whatever you want right because it's a chiller atmosphere. It's
14:04
Speaker 4: not like, here's the hustle and bustle of everything going
14:07
Speaker 4: on today. It's either Saturday or Sunday, and it's usually
14:10
Speaker 4: a recap taking it easy, that type of thing. I
14:13
Speaker 4: think that's kind of how I got my whole radio vibe,
14:16
Speaker 4: you know, trying to have fun on the radio all
14:18
Speaker 4: the time because it was it was so much fun.
14:20
Speaker 4: And then I had a Monday through Friday show ten
14:22
Speaker 4: am to noon, and that was more news focused, but
14:26
Speaker 4: because of the day part, people were already at work,
14:28
Speaker 4: so it wasn't like a drivetime type of thing, so
14:30
Speaker 4: you could be a little more serious and you had
14:33
Speaker 4: to be more informative, but still equally as entertaining. Hopefully right,
14:39
Speaker 4: fingers crossed. But every now and again, I just wish
14:43
Speaker 4: I could do a I don't know, like a segment
14:46
Speaker 4: like the ones that you.
14:47
Speaker 6: Hear on music radio.
14:48
Speaker 4: I think they have so much fun in music radio,
14:51
Speaker 4: you know, like there's the one, the big famous show.
14:55
Speaker 4: It's everywhere, I guess, but I used to hear it
14:57
Speaker 4: in New York City where the and the girl they
15:00
Speaker 4: do a skit, right, a little prank call on somebody
15:03
Speaker 4: and they're like, oh, yeah, you just want a bunch
15:05
Speaker 4: of flowers?
15:05
Speaker 6: Who do you want to give them to?
15:07
Speaker 4: And it's to catch people that are being unfaithful and
15:10
Speaker 4: they're like, oh, I want to send it to my wife,
15:12
Speaker 4: or usually they don't say that, though, they usually go, oh,
15:15
Speaker 4: you know, let's say the wife's name is Debbie they're like, yeah,
15:17
Speaker 4: I want to send it to Jane. And they're like okay,
15:20
Speaker 4: and what do you want the card to say? It
15:22
Speaker 4: comes to a free message, Jane, I love you. You're
15:26
Speaker 4: the best. You mean the world to me. Ever since
15:29
Speaker 4: I met you, my life has changed. You make every
15:32
Speaker 4: breath worth breathing, you know, these types of things, And
15:35
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, Debbie comes on the line.
15:38
Speaker 4: She's like, how dare you you pig unbelievable. If you've
15:42
Speaker 4: never heard it, I think it's called War the Roses.
15:45
Speaker 4: It's fantastic and they do an amazing job of that.
15:48
Speaker 4: And I've always said I want to do something like that,
15:50
Speaker 4: but more in my wheelhouse, you know, using some of
15:53
Speaker 4: my Project Veritas roots, some of the undercover stuff I
15:56
Speaker 4: used to do with James O'Keeffe, and maybe like, you know,
15:59
Speaker 4: do a call and I don't know, just switch it up,
16:03
Speaker 4: become somebody different, you know, become somebody British and Hello,
16:08
Speaker 4: my name is Christopher Steel. I'm a British agent. I
16:11
Speaker 4: don't know you know the Hello. My name is Raj
16:13
Speaker 4: Gumard Makijani. I'm garding on behalf of there, you know
16:17
Speaker 4: something where we fool somebody and we get them to
16:21
Speaker 4: say some crazy stuff, but it's contradictory and it goes
16:26
Speaker 4: in line with what we're saying.
16:27
Speaker 6: I've never really put the idea.
16:29
Speaker 4: Into practice per se, because you know, Monday through Friday,
16:34
Speaker 4: late night radio, that type of thing, this show, streaming, podcast,
16:39
Speaker 4: all that, It just it just didn't materialize. I didn't
16:42
Speaker 4: have the team in place to make that happen. But
16:46
Speaker 4: it's something I'd like to do. So I'm going to
16:48
Speaker 4: be relying on you, we the people, the American people,
16:51
Speaker 4: everybody that's listening right now, who I want to think.
16:53
Speaker 4: By the way, you guys have left some amazing reviews
16:57
Speaker 4: for our podcast, for or program, for the Facebook page,
17:02
Speaker 4: for all that stuff. I mean, these five star reviews
17:05
Speaker 4: have just been amazing. And if you think they don't matter,
17:07
Speaker 4: they do. People really do listen to what you have
17:10
Speaker 4: to say, and it helps with the promotion of the show.
17:13
Speaker 4: It helps for the discovery of the show. More people
17:16
Speaker 4: listen to it, more people hear about it. Obviously, the
17:19
Speaker 4: more listeners you have, the more it is, the better
17:21
Speaker 4: it is for all of us. So continue to do that,
17:24
Speaker 4: and I want to thank everybody that's taken the two
17:26
Speaker 4: or three minutes that it takes to leave a review
17:29
Speaker 4: and to put a comment in there, it means the
17:32
Speaker 4: world to me and I really appreciate it. Thank you
17:35
Speaker 4: and godspeed to you, and the same thing for those
17:38
Speaker 4: that are doing it on Facebook. But I'm going to
17:40
Speaker 4: be leaning on you guys, we the people of the
17:42
Speaker 4: American people, because I want to do more of that stuff,
17:45
Speaker 4: and we're going to have a little bit more flexibility
17:47
Speaker 4: moving forward to do those types of things that are
17:49
Speaker 4: a little bit more fun where maybe we could set
17:51
Speaker 4: up some libs right and try and bamboozle them over
17:54
Speaker 4: the phone without breaking any laws. And if that's something
17:57
Speaker 4: we're able to do, I want to do it, but
17:59
Speaker 4: I need your help to think about it. So I
18:01
Speaker 4: need your help for those reviews. I need your help
18:03
Speaker 4: to share this stuff on your social media. Just share
18:06
Speaker 4: the link to the show rich Veldes dot com or
18:08
Speaker 4: the iheartlink or the Spotify link or the Amazon link
18:11
Speaker 4: or any link you want. Just share it somewhere on
18:13
Speaker 4: social so that one or two, or three or ten
18:15
Speaker 4: or one hundred people can hear it, and let's keep
18:18
Speaker 4: the momentum going. Just because it's the holidays, doesn't mean
18:21
Speaker 4: we slow down, and I mean we can slow down
18:25
Speaker 4: a little bit, right. I will continue to give you shows,
18:27
Speaker 4: and some of our production staff is a little bit,
18:30
Speaker 4: you know, taking time off, So that's why some of
18:32
Speaker 4: these programs are getting to you a little bit later
18:35
Speaker 4: than you'd like. And I appreciate your patience on that.
18:39
Speaker 4: But ultimately, one of the things that I think is
18:44
Speaker 4: most important here is is having that audience participation. So
18:52
Speaker 4: if you guys have those have those ideas, then feel
18:55
Speaker 4: free to call in if especially after the show's over,
18:59
Speaker 4: you can go ahead and call in and you're guaranteed
19:01
Speaker 4: to get the voicemail. So it's eight seven seven eight
19:04
Speaker 4: twenty five thirty three seventy one. Leave a message, keep
19:07
Speaker 4: it to about a minute because I think it times out,
19:09
Speaker 4: and let me know what you're thinking, and we'll start
19:12
Speaker 4: doing some of these, maybe uh, you know, skits to
19:16
Speaker 4: get underneath the skin of the limbs, and maybe we'll
19:19
Speaker 4: call James o'keeffen do an interview with him and see
19:21
Speaker 4: what he comes up with, how he might want to
19:24
Speaker 4: pursue that.
19:25
Speaker 6: That might be fun too.
19:26
Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm enjoying the conversation with you guys, and he goes,
19:30
Speaker 4: and there's a couple of stories I want to share
19:32
Speaker 4: with you that are a little bit lighter in nature,
19:35
Speaker 4: and I'm going to get to them momentarily, but just
19:38
Speaker 4: to give you a tease of what they are.
19:40
Speaker 6: Let me see.
19:41
Speaker 4: Let me see eight people won the lottery inspired by
19:45
Speaker 4: either a dream or their pet's birthday. Isn't that wild?
19:50
Speaker 4: That's fantastic. I'll get into that a little bit, lare.
19:53
Speaker 4: It's perfect for our Midnight Zoo. Right The Midnight Zoo
19:56
Speaker 4: is the midnight hour. And I used to do all
19:58
Speaker 4: these stories and they for whatever, and there was animals
20:01
Speaker 4: in them, so it became known as the Midnight Zoo
20:03
Speaker 4: my production package for that. Anyway, I don't have the
20:06
Speaker 4: audio that I wanted to get to, So what I'm
20:08
Speaker 4: gonna do is, I'm gonna take a quick pause right here.
20:10
Speaker 4: We're going to come back rack that audio. Make sure
20:12
Speaker 4: you guys are ready to go when we come back,
20:14
Speaker 4: and uh, we'll continue.
20:16
Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere.
20:18
Speaker 1: This is a Maria. This is a Maria.
20:57
Speaker 4: All right, amigos, welcome back. I've been over here with
21:00
Speaker 4: you guys on a Friday night. Happy to be with you.
21:03
Speaker 4: It's truly a blessing rich faldek richveldesk dot com and oh,
21:07
Speaker 4: the deep state is getting into our music over here,
21:09
Speaker 4: I see. Anyway, I want to get into this stuff here.
21:13
Speaker 4: Of course, yesterday I said I wanted to talk about
21:15
Speaker 4: ke mana edis the Vice President of the United States,
21:19
Speaker 4: and I will I also want to get into this
21:22
Speaker 4: Michelle Obama stuff and a couple others that we've got here,
21:25
Speaker 4: because really it's just kind of crazy.
21:27
Speaker 6: Plus that crazy lottery story. We're going to do that
21:29
Speaker 6: as well.
21:29
Speaker 4: But I want to start with this right because it's here,
21:32
Speaker 4: it's in front of me, and really there's just so
21:34
Speaker 4: many interesting stories. But Michelle Obama says, look, look, after
21:39
Speaker 4: the last four years or five years or six seven
21:42
Speaker 4: years that they've been saying there's an attack on democracy,
21:45
Speaker 4: we don't have democracy. Trump is a tyrant, he's a dictator,
21:48
Speaker 4: he's an autocrat, whatever they call him.
21:50
Speaker 6: Fascist.
21:51
Speaker 4: Right now, she says, no, no, no, no, it's not
21:53
Speaker 4: that we don't have a democracy anymore. We have democracy.
21:57
Speaker 4: It's actually your fault for not participating in the democracy.
22:01
Speaker 4: Isn't that something?
22:02
Speaker 2: Check this out for the young black girls who didn't
22:05
Speaker 2: grow up with you, Sasha and Melia in the White House,
22:08
Speaker 2: but are growing up in a moment when their very
22:11
Speaker 2: identities are under attack and their history is being a race.
22:15
Speaker 2: I mean Mlkday and Juneteenth have been removed as free
22:20
Speaker 2: days at national parks, for instance. What message do you
22:23
Speaker 2: have for them vote?
22:26
Speaker 9: I mean, it's always my message. You know, where we
22:32
Speaker 9: are isn't a statement of the failure of our democracy.
22:36
Speaker 9: You know, it is the failure of people to engage
22:39
Speaker 9: in the democracy that's here. You know, people fought and
22:44
Speaker 9: died for the right to vote. My father wouldn't have
22:48
Speaker 9: thought about not voting, and things were way worse for
22:52
Speaker 9: my father and his father than they were for any
22:56
Speaker 9: of us today, and there would never have been a
22:59
Speaker 9: situation where he felt like, ah, I'm not gonna bother
23:03
Speaker 9: or everyone's the same, so I'm not going to engage.
23:06
Speaker 6: Well, hold on, skirt, skirt, skirt, hold hold your horses.
23:11
Speaker 4: I want to know something, madam, first, Lady Michelle, Michelle, Michelle,
23:15
Speaker 4: are you giving El Trombito a ringing endorsement here? Because
23:19
Speaker 4: it seems like you're saying that America is better today
23:22
Speaker 4: than it was before, And I've heard you say that
23:24
Speaker 4: you've never been proud of America.
23:26
Speaker 6: So I like this shift. And that was when your
23:28
Speaker 6: husband was president.
23:29
Speaker 4: So if back then you were never proud of America,
23:32
Speaker 4: but today you're saying things are better for us today
23:34
Speaker 4: than they were before, then, maybe the fact that El
23:38
Speaker 4: Trompito as president now has something to do with it now.
23:42
Speaker 4: Of course, I'm doing a little word play here, messing
23:44
Speaker 4: around with Michelle Obama, But the reality is I actually
23:47
Speaker 4: agree with some of these comments, right. I agree that
23:51
Speaker 4: you know, not that you don't get to complain if
23:53
Speaker 4: you don't participate, but you definitely should be participating and complain. Right,
24:00
Speaker 4: You've got to do both. I think everybody's got a
24:04
Speaker 4: If I could learn how to speak, it'd be great.
24:06
Speaker 4: Everybody has a right to complain. I don't think you
24:10
Speaker 4: lose your right to complain just because he didn't vote.
24:12
Speaker 4: It just means less people are gonna listen you don't.
24:15
Speaker 4: What you lose is your credibility, and you can choose
24:19
Speaker 4: to live life with credibility or without. I've lived on
24:22
Speaker 4: both sides of that fence, and when I was a
24:25
Speaker 4: new barber, I remember, you know, I'm always eager to
24:28
Speaker 4: cut somebody's hair When I didn't have a clientele, and
24:32
Speaker 4: I was like, hey, I got you. Come on, and
24:34
Speaker 4: you know, people were very reluctant, staring at the haircut,
24:38
Speaker 4: the entire haircut, looking in the mirror, making sure like, oh,
24:41
Speaker 4: this guy really know what he's doing.
24:42
Speaker 6: He looks kind of young.
24:43
Speaker 4: I don't know, right, And even when back when I
24:46
Speaker 4: had hair, I still shaved my head, so it was
24:49
Speaker 4: always kind of my look and you know, think, oh,
24:51
Speaker 4: the bald barber, a bald barber, what's that guy gonna
24:54
Speaker 4: do for me? He doesn't even cut his own hair,
24:55
Speaker 4: he doesn't have any hair. So you know, I was
24:58
Speaker 4: used to kind of prove myself at that stage of life,
25:04
Speaker 4: and I get that, and that's still part of how
25:08
Speaker 4: life works now, right, there's still a part of that
25:13
Speaker 4: because that's part of the grit that we develop.
25:16
Speaker 6: It's part of the.
25:17
Speaker 4: Sticktuitiveness that you need to have in order to succeed
25:20
Speaker 4: in life. But I do agree that America is better
25:24
Speaker 4: today than it was before, and I think there are
25:27
Speaker 4: times from before that were slightly better than they are now.
25:30
Speaker 4: Maybe not necessarily the economy, but when you look back
25:33
Speaker 4: and you say, all right, with respect to I don't
25:37
Speaker 4: know the world prers. Could we consider that great? I
25:44
Speaker 4: would say, yeah, I would say, how bad was the
25:48
Speaker 4: world doing when Vanderbilt was building that castle that he
25:52
Speaker 4: has that he calls a mansion over on the Gold
25:54
Speaker 4: Coast of Long Island, along with all these other mega
25:58
Speaker 4: rich people that build these little literally castle like homes
26:04
Speaker 4: palatial estates. Right, there's one that literally is a castle today.
26:09
Speaker 4: It's called Ohica Castle. These things were all private homes
26:12
Speaker 4: that are rich and famous. How do you think people
26:15
Speaker 4: got that rich and that famous. Those homes are worth
26:18
Speaker 4: millions today? What do you think they cost back then?
26:21
Speaker 4: Exactly my point? Exactly my point. So those people were
26:25
Speaker 4: rich back then, and there are rich people today. And
26:28
Speaker 4: not that rich is the standard for success in every measure, No,
26:35
Speaker 4: But the point I'm making is that certain things are
26:38
Speaker 4: better today. Certain things were really great back then, when
26:41
Speaker 4: they were building the railroad infrastructure, when they were building
26:44
Speaker 4: Grand Central Station, all sorts of stuff like that that
26:47
Speaker 4: just isn't happening today.
26:49
Speaker 6: But we have AI. And while a lot of people
26:51
Speaker 6: don't like AI.
26:52
Speaker 4: And I was having an interesting conversation with my friend
26:55
Speaker 4: Ruben the Cuban, you know, you know his story came
26:58
Speaker 4: here on ajet Ski loves the Erica hard working guy
27:02
Speaker 4: good man, not a fan of Trump's. I would have
27:05
Speaker 4: thought that we were on different sides on most things,
27:08
Speaker 4: but we're not. And he's telling me about how dangerous
27:10
Speaker 4: he thinks it is to get all this AI. And
27:13
Speaker 4: he said, we're eventually setting ourselves up to no longer
27:17
Speaker 4: be a connected people, to no longer need as much
27:22
Speaker 4: human labor as we do, which will ultimately turn us
27:26
Speaker 4: into a welfare state because we'll have too many people
27:28
Speaker 4: that can't afford to be alone at home without work.
27:32
Speaker 4: And I thought to myself, I think you might be
27:34
Speaker 4: onto something. So I'm wondering what happens there? Do we
27:38
Speaker 4: And he was criticizing it in the sense that this
27:41
Speaker 4: is reminiscent of communist Cuba and how the state promised
27:46
Speaker 4: to take care of people, and Elon Musk recently making
27:48
Speaker 4: comments similar to that, saying that we're going to get
27:51
Speaker 4: to a point where we're going to have to have
27:54
Speaker 4: some sort of universal basic income because that would would
27:58
Speaker 4: be the only way given the AI. And I think
28:02
Speaker 4: that was a scary comment for a lot of people.
28:05
Speaker 4: I mean definitely was an eye opener for me, not
28:07
Speaker 4: just for context. I want you to hear what he said.
28:09
Speaker 4: He said this at the one of those Saudi US
28:16
Speaker 4: summits with respect to all of the foreign investment.
28:21
Speaker 6: Listen to this.
28:22
Speaker 10: I think we're headed to a radically different world. I think,
28:28
Speaker 10: I think a good world, an interesting world. My prediction
28:32
Speaker 10: actually for humanoid robots is that ultimately there will be.
28:38
Speaker 7: Tens of billions.
28:40
Speaker 10: I think everyone will want to have their personal robot.
28:46
Speaker 10: You can think of it like as though you had
28:48
Speaker 10: your own personal C three PO or R two D
28:51
Speaker 10: two or even better, then who wouldn't want to have
28:55
Speaker 10: their own personal C three PO R two D two.
28:57
Speaker 10: That would be pretty great. And I also think it
29:03
Speaker 10: unlocks an immense amount of economic potential because when you
29:09
Speaker 10: think of like what is the output of an economy,
29:11
Speaker 10: it is productivity per capita at times population or capita.
29:17
Speaker 10: The Once you have humanoid robots, the actual economic output
29:22
Speaker 10: potential is tremendous. It's really unlimited.
29:27
Speaker 4: But of course, right they don't get tired, they're robots.
29:32
Speaker 4: There are work courses. So I see what you're saying,
29:34
Speaker 4: La Musk, but I think you're seeing it from the
29:37
Speaker 4: lens of a trillionaire.
29:40
Speaker 6: Maybe I'm wrong. Go ahead, play to.
29:42
Speaker 10: Say, potentially we could have an economy ten times the
29:46
Speaker 10: size of the current global economy where no one wants
29:52
Speaker 10: for anything. You know, sometimes in AI they talk about
29:56
Speaker 10: universal basic income. I think it's actually going to be
29:59
Speaker 10: uni versal high income, where anyone can have any goods
30:06
Speaker 10: or services that they want. Now, there obviously are some risks,
30:11
Speaker 10: you know, which illustrate perhaps the if we don't do
30:15
Speaker 10: this right, you know, you could have like a James
30:17
Speaker 10: Cameron sort of movie, you know, Terminator. We don't want
30:22
Speaker 10: that one.
30:24
Speaker 6: But now that's a stark warning.
30:26
Speaker 4: We don't do this right, we're going to get a
30:28
Speaker 4: doomsday scenario with a robot that kills people.
30:32
Speaker 6: No, thank you, sir, But.
30:34
Speaker 10: Having sort of a star trek future would be great
30:37
Speaker 10: where we're out there exploring the stars, discovering the nature
30:42
Speaker 10: of the universe and and a level of prosperity and
30:48
Speaker 10: hopefully happiness that we can't quite imagine yet.
30:54
Speaker 4: That is Elon Musk again at that US Saudi Investment summit,
30:58
Speaker 4: and he said a lot of things there again, a
31:01
Speaker 4: lot of it's pie in the sky for me because
31:04
Speaker 4: I'm not in his shoes, but for a guy like
31:05
Speaker 4: him who says everybody's gonna have a robot. Hey, maybe
31:08
Speaker 4: he's right for a guy like him that says, hey,
31:10
Speaker 4: we're all gonna have high income. It's not the first
31:12
Speaker 4: one I've heard say that. I've heard of people tell
31:15
Speaker 4: me that we're people are going to start retiring at
31:18
Speaker 4: fifty and just getting this universal income based off the
31:21
Speaker 4: tariffs and other revenue sources that the President is put
31:25
Speaker 4: in line, the Sovereign Wealth Fund and others that will
31:28
Speaker 4: pay off the national debt and create a stream for
31:33
Speaker 4: this basic income in America. Now, it sounds nice, you know,
31:36
Speaker 4: in theory I would suppose to some people, but I
31:38
Speaker 4: think it also creates problems. It also creates a scenario
31:41
Speaker 4: where we've got people that don't know how to fend
31:44
Speaker 4: for themselves and now they're literally drowning in a cup
31:48
Speaker 4: of water. We don't need that, and I think that
31:52
Speaker 4: we're close to that if we don't play our cards right.
31:56
Speaker 4: So I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, may even right.
31:58
Speaker 6: Let me know.
31:59
Speaker 4: You know the number, Give me a holler if you
32:01
Speaker 4: want to chime in. Otherwise, stick around. There is more
32:05
Speaker 4: to come. Straight ahead, don't go anywhere.
32:07
Speaker 5: This is America.

34:33
Speaker 4: And that's because the people that design and build the
34:36
Speaker 4: modern wonders that make our lives better are bound by
34:40
Speaker 4: physical reality, a world in which things either work or
34:43
Speaker 4: they don't work. Unfortunately, those who oversee our political and
34:47
Speaker 4: educational institutions aren't limited by.
34:49
Speaker 6: These same constraints.
34:51
Speaker 4: Instead, they often implement their agendas by exploiting people's ignorance
34:55
Speaker 4: on issues like taxes and immigration.
34:57
Speaker 6: So where do we go to get the facts?
34:59
Speaker 4: Well, you listen to the This is America, But if

35:28

35:59
Speaker 4: Right, and he goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your company,
36:02
Speaker 4: and I want to bring you up to speed on
36:04
Speaker 4: a couple of different things. Kind of a break in
36:06
Speaker 4: tradition here a little bit. Since we're a couple of
36:08
Speaker 4: days away from Christmas Eve, and I want to get
36:12
Speaker 4: into this clip of audio that I found. It was
36:16
Speaker 4: about how dads raised daughters, and I thought it was
36:21
Speaker 4: very interesting insomuch as it was kind of like conventional
36:25
Speaker 4: wisdom but turned on its head in that doing what
36:30
Speaker 4: you think is the right thing isn't always the right thing.
36:34
Speaker 4: And what I mean by that is maybe not so
36:36
Speaker 4: much what we think is doing the right thing, but
36:39
Speaker 4: the I guess unintended consequence, if that makes sense, And
36:44
Speaker 4: it was really eye opening.
36:45
Speaker 6: I've got a clip here. This is a conversation.
36:47
Speaker 4: Between the motivational speaker, Tony Robbins and a woman in
36:52
Speaker 4: the audience who's there with her husband, I suppose. And
36:57
Speaker 4: you know, like many times at these Tony Robins things,
36:59
Speaker 4: he talks to people and he's like, you know, what's
37:01
Speaker 4: your problem? And they go, well, I don't like the
37:03
Speaker 4: way he puts his socks or I don't like that.
37:05
Speaker 8: You know.
37:06
Speaker 4: He tries to help them get there, but like usual
37:08
Speaker 4: and his very raw kind of go straight to the
37:12
Speaker 4: facts kind of way, he uncovers something that honestly I'd
37:16
Speaker 4: never heard of, and I thought it was pretty interesting.
37:18
Speaker 6: Check this out.
37:20
Speaker 8: Your father taught you that his little princess, didn't he? Yes,
37:24
Speaker 8: he taught you you're perfect, didn't he? He? Really, he
37:29
Speaker 8: really grew up, didn't Hey?
37:31
Speaker 2: Yeah?
37:33
Speaker 8: Yes, he taught you to expect the man in your
37:38
Speaker 8: life to be the same as him. But see, there's
37:39
Speaker 8: only one problem. He didn't have to put up with
37:41
Speaker 8: your because you valued and admired him.
37:44
Speaker 6: Wow, Mike drop moment. Right.
37:46
Speaker 4: Your children value and admire you as their father and
37:50
Speaker 4: as a man. Right, But when they find a man,
37:54
Speaker 4: does that translate into valuing and admiring that man. I'd
37:59
Speaker 4: never looked at them from that perspective, and I think
38:02
Speaker 4: it's abundantly clear that if that isn't there for a
38:05
Speaker 4: wife and a husband, they're going down a pretty dark
38:08
Speaker 4: road in my humble opinion.
38:10
Speaker 6: Let's go back to the tape.
38:11
Speaker 7: Y'are good?
38:12
Speaker 6: Right, You're so good?
38:16
Speaker 5: Good? Wow?
38:18
Speaker 8: Yes, And he didn't have sex with you, so there
38:21
Speaker 8: wasn't the peace of you feeling a sense of control
38:25
Speaker 8: over him. It wasn't something you could give or withhold
38:28
Speaker 8: from him. He would not affect his sense of love
38:32
Speaker 8: with you, so you had no power. So you worked
38:35
Speaker 8: to please him and made you believe that love is
38:38
Speaker 8: something that should be expected and you could take it
38:40
Speaker 8: away because it was always there from him, and you've
38:46
Speaker 8: taken it away from this man. I'm not defending anything
38:48
Speaker 8: this man has done. I don't know what he's done.
38:50
Speaker 8: I bet he's done some stupid things that he probably
38:53
Speaker 8: hates himself for that. So of you.
38:57
Speaker 4: So Tony Robbins really makes an interesting point here, right
39:00
Speaker 4: because of this control thing and the ability that women
39:04
Speaker 4: have to withhold right being in the bedroom with their
39:07
Speaker 4: husbands and whatnot. And I'm not saying it's everybody and
39:10
Speaker 4: it's a widespread thing. I'm not saying anything like that.
39:12
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it's that dynamic that I'd never considered.
39:16
Speaker 4: The other dynamic is you can right as a dad.
39:18
Speaker 4: I can tell you have two daughters. The braddiest of moments,
39:22
Speaker 4: you're like, go to your room, get out of here.
39:24
Speaker 4: I can't stand you, blah blah blah, whatever it is.
39:26
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, if you've done
39:28
Speaker 4: it right, they know deep down in their heart that
39:31
Speaker 4: you're always going to be their dad, You're always going
39:33
Speaker 4: to love them. They're always going to be your little girl,
39:35
Speaker 4: your princess, and they're always you know, innately, And this
39:40
Speaker 4: is I think all children, they innately always want to
39:44
Speaker 4: impress or please their parents.
39:48
Speaker 6: That's just the parent child dynamic.
39:51
Speaker 4: Some kids work really hard to get away from it
39:53
Speaker 4: with modern age psychology and things like saying, I'm not
39:56
Speaker 4: going to be a people pleaser anymore. And they start
39:58
Speaker 4: with their parents and they go to war with their parents,
40:01
Speaker 4: and obviously that's the wrong thing to do. And maybe
40:03
Speaker 4: I'll do a segment on that right after this, because
40:05
Speaker 4: there's some interesting information out there. But staying on this
40:08
Speaker 4: theme very interesting. So where is the disconnect and whose
40:14
Speaker 4: job is it to teach children that they need, at
40:17
Speaker 4: least female children, right daughters, that they need to cherish
40:23
Speaker 4: value and you know, otherwise admire the man in their
40:32
Speaker 4: life the way they have their dad.
40:35
Speaker 6: And is it the dad's.
40:37
Speaker 4: Job to teach that? I don't know if it is.
40:39
Speaker 4: Is it the mom's job to teach that. I would
40:41
Speaker 4: suppose probably better positioned to do it, to say, hey,
40:44
Speaker 4: look this is why I love your father, et cetera,
40:46
Speaker 4: et cetera. And I think when that goes away, we
40:50
Speaker 4: have what we have today, many many relationships that end
40:55
Speaker 4: poorly because of well, I guess we would call feminism
41:00
Speaker 4: or what we would call a liberal view, but I
41:04
Speaker 4: think it's really it's that particular component. And if we
41:07
Speaker 4: want to get crazy and use a biblical worldview here,
41:09
Speaker 4: I'd say it's that first Corinthian's idea of love and
41:16
Speaker 4: even further biblical the idea of wives respect your husbands
41:23
Speaker 4: and husbands love your wives. Right, these are biblical commands.
41:27
Speaker 4: Doesn't tell husbands to love their wives. That would be
41:29
Speaker 4: too easy. I mean, it doesn't tell wives to love
41:32
Speaker 4: their husbands because that would be too easy. It tells
41:34
Speaker 4: them to respect them, which is harder for them. So
41:38
Speaker 4: obviously this is something that God knew was difficult for
41:42
Speaker 4: us as human beings. But not trying to preach, but
41:45
Speaker 4: we are close to Jesus' birthday, say hey, why not
41:47
Speaker 4: share a couple of thoughts on this? But I thought
41:50
Speaker 4: this was a very interesting thing, and I want to
41:53
Speaker 4: get your thoughts on it, if you care to chime
41:54
Speaker 4: in on that, if you want to challenge me on it.
41:56
Speaker 4: It's not like I came up with this theory, so
41:58
Speaker 4: I don't mind. I'm happy to hear all the conversation
42:00
Speaker 4: in the world about it. You know, the number eight
42:02
Speaker 4: seven seven Veldusk one. But even if we just continued
42:05
Speaker 4: down this road that leads to ultimately the destruction of
42:10
Speaker 4: the family. And I don't mean like divorce or anything
42:12
Speaker 4: like that. I mean literally the destruction of the family.
42:15
Speaker 4: In so much as if I start to hold my
42:18
Speaker 4: parents accountable for whatever ills I feel are in my life,
42:24
Speaker 4: you know, they didn't love me enough, they didn't do
42:26
Speaker 4: this enough, they weren't prepared enough, whatever you want to
42:30
Speaker 4: blame on your parents, which is a thing, right, Because
42:33
Speaker 4: I happen to have social media and I see these
42:35
Speaker 4: posts that are out there. There's actually a woman I
42:37
Speaker 4: started following where she talks about one thing every day.
42:41
Speaker 4: It's the same message in a different way, and I
42:43
Speaker 4: find it to be interesting because a she reaches a
42:47
Speaker 4: lot of people, and b I think it's a message
42:50
Speaker 4: that many of us need to hear. It's ultimately the
42:53
Speaker 4: message of forgiveness, right, But beyond that, it's particularly stop
42:59
Speaker 4: being angry with your parents. Even if your parents let
43:02
Speaker 4: you down, what good is there in holding them responsible forever?
43:07
Speaker 4: And I just thought it was a really interesting thing
43:09
Speaker 4: because I haven't heard many people talking about that, saying,
43:12
Speaker 4: you know, your life will get better the minute you
43:13
Speaker 4: forgive your parents. Maybe I'm late to the game. But
43:17
Speaker 4: you know, or maybe I'm spending too much time on
43:19
Speaker 4: social media one in the other. But that is the
43:22
Speaker 4: way of the future, right I watch less TV, I
43:24
Speaker 4: watch more Instagram, more truth social more of the tweets
43:29
Speaker 4: that I try to stay away from. Honestly, I try
43:32
Speaker 4: to stay away from them because you can get sucked
43:34
Speaker 4: into all sorts of rabbit holes with that. Anyway, let
43:38
Speaker 4: me see if we can get that clip cued up
43:40
Speaker 4: of this woman. I think her name is Tanya Hazel
43:42
Speaker 4: or Hazal, and she dedicates herself to talking about the
43:47
Speaker 4: importance of children forgiving their parents and being able to
43:50
Speaker 4: move forward in an emotionally healthy manner. And I mean
43:54
Speaker 4: now and again, I think it's good for us to
43:55
Speaker 4: talk about these things because mental health is where it's
43:57
Speaker 4: at for a lot of people, especially in this day
43:59
Speaker 4: and age, especially for younger people, people that were in
44:03
Speaker 4: school or deeply, deeply impacted by separation from the world
44:09
Speaker 4: at an early age.
44:09
Speaker 6: And I'm talking about COVID.
44:11
Speaker 8: Right.
44:11
Speaker 4: If people were in school during COVID and they just
44:13
Speaker 4: stopped going to school, they're number one social activity. These
44:16
Speaker 4: kids are still recovering from that. Thank God, I have
44:19
Speaker 4: a kid that's very precocious. You know, the only one
44:21
Speaker 4: I had that was in high school at the time.
44:22
Speaker 4: My other kids were ready in college. But my youngest
44:26
Speaker 4: daughter who went through that, you know, she is that kid.
44:30
Speaker 4: She found other ways of being very social. She you know,
44:32
Speaker 4: talks a lot, and she's very out there. She was
44:34
Speaker 4: a cheerleader. But not everybody's like that. And I saw
44:38
Speaker 4: it even with her, how withdrawn she became because nobody
44:41
Speaker 4: could go out and the world changed, and that's affected people,
44:45
Speaker 4: and I think some people were holding their parents responsible
44:48
Speaker 4: for that. So we're going to get into that in
44:49
Speaker 4: the next segment. If we could get that clip, try
44:51
Speaker 4: and get that cued up for me, which thank you,
44:53
Speaker 4: and I mean goes keep it locked right here. I'm
44:55
Speaker 4: Rich Valdez.
44:56
Speaker 1: This is America, this is America.
45:24
Speaker 7: He's making podcasting great again.
45:27
Speaker 1: This is America with.
45:29
Speaker 6: Rich Valdez, all right, and he goes, welcome back.
45:32
Speaker 4: Now our parents to blame, our parents, to blame for
45:36
Speaker 4: everything that's going on in one's life under the sun,
45:39
Speaker 4: I say not so much. I'm sure there are cases
45:43
Speaker 4: where parents are directly responsible for, you know, so many
45:47
Speaker 4: of the things that happened, but there's also cases where
45:50
Speaker 4: we have to say, hold on a second, am I
45:51
Speaker 4: looking for a fall guy? I looking for the person
45:54
Speaker 4: to blame when I've got to take this up with
45:58
Speaker 4: God and just say, you know, God, what's the way
46:00
Speaker 4: forward here?
46:00
Speaker 6: How do I move forward?
46:01
Speaker 4: Instead of in regret and in anger, but in just
46:05
Speaker 4: looking past it and saying, look, I'm not going to
46:07
Speaker 4: let this situation control me or shape my future. And
46:10
Speaker 4: I guess that's a level of maturity that many of
46:13
Speaker 4: us haven't reached. I know I'm not always like that.
46:15
Speaker 4: There's times where I say no, no, you did this
46:17
Speaker 4: and you're paying right, that's what our these fleshly bodies
46:21
Speaker 4: we live and like to respond that way. But some
46:25
Speaker 4: people are getting it and some people are talking about it.
46:28
Speaker 4: So the question becomes, if you are at odds with
46:31
Speaker 4: your parents, with your family in general, do you now
46:34
Speaker 4: say you know what? The answer to this is called boundaries,
46:36
Speaker 4: But by boundaries you really mean isolation, right, instead of
46:40
Speaker 4: saying a boundary being look, I'm going to go there,
46:42
Speaker 4: but I'm not going to talk about this or I'm
46:44
Speaker 4: going to go there, but I'm not going to allow
46:46
Speaker 4: myself to become angered by the things that you know
46:50
Speaker 4: tick me off that so and so does my.
46:52
Speaker 6: Mom, my dad, my aunt, whomever. Right, those are boundaries.
46:56
Speaker 4: What a boundary is not is saying I've decided to
46:58
Speaker 4: make a boundary. I no longer to to my mom.
47:00
Speaker 4: That's crazier. I cut my sister off. That's the boundary.
47:03
Speaker 4: These aren't boundaries. This is the devil's work, right. This
47:05
Speaker 4: is the destruction of the family that's not as God
47:09
Speaker 4: intended it to be. I think I can say that
47:11
Speaker 4: pretty authoritatively from why because I've read my Bible and
47:15
Speaker 4: hopefully you are too. But ultimately, this is one of
47:19
Speaker 4: those things that I think we need to listen to
47:21
Speaker 4: and is the answer? Isolation is the answer? Cutting everyone off?
47:25
Speaker 4: Is that really how you're going to get better and heal?
47:27
Speaker 4: Check this out.
47:28
Speaker 12: There is an emotional cost of a disconnected generation, and
47:32
Speaker 12: we don't realize how deep this runs. We think estrangement
47:35
Speaker 12: is just about family fights or parents and children not talking,
47:38
Speaker 12: but it's so much bigger than that. We're living through
47:40
Speaker 12: a mental health crisis that didn't appear out of nowhere. Depression, anxiety,
47:44
Speaker 12: suicide is at the highest levels it's ever been. And yes,
47:47
Speaker 12: there are many reasons, but one of the biggest least
47:49
Speaker 12: talked about is human and love disconnection. It's created a
47:53
Speaker 12: generation that's emotionally starving and fragile, a generation that's being
47:57
Speaker 12: told independence means isolation, that you don't need anyone, that
48:00
Speaker 12: family is optional, that if someone hurts you, you cut
48:02
Speaker 12: them off, and then we wonder why people are so lonely,
48:05
Speaker 12: angry and depressed. When you remove family, you remove the foundation.
48:08
Speaker 12: You remove the place where people learn forgiveness, patience, resilience,
48:12
Speaker 12: love that isn't performative. You remove belonging, and once belonging
48:16
Speaker 12: is gone, identity becomes unstable. People start attaching themselves to
48:21
Speaker 12: trends and communities online and anything that fills the gap,
48:24
Speaker 12: but it never truly fills it. It just distracts them
48:27
Speaker 12: from the ache. And yes, emotional regulation starts in childhood
48:31
Speaker 12: through connection. When a child feels safe, seen and loved,
48:34
Speaker 12: they learn to regulate emotion. And when that bond is broken,
48:36
Speaker 12: whether through trauma, neglect, or this new culture of cutting
48:39
Speaker 12: them off, that regulation disappears.
48:43
Speaker 4: So hold on a second again, This is Tanya Khazal.
48:46
Speaker 4: I think she's making a lot of sense. Are we
48:48
Speaker 4: teaching people through modern age psychotherapy? Or bad advice, however
48:54
Speaker 4: you want to phrase it to isolate and disconnect from
48:58
Speaker 4: what matters most in life, their familial bonds, their mom,
49:01
Speaker 4: their dad, their siblings, their family. And does she have
49:05
Speaker 4: a point here that when you cut off your family,
49:08
Speaker 4: are you now eliminating your sense of belonging?
49:11
Speaker 6: Do you now feel like you do not belong?
49:13
Speaker 4: Do you feel like an outcast in every situation because
49:16
Speaker 4: you've decided to respond this way. So we hit the
49:19
Speaker 4: pause button for a second and say, if I were
49:21
Speaker 4: to approach this differently, if I were to say hold on,
49:25
Speaker 4: instead of me attacking all of these people and saying
49:29
Speaker 4: I'm cutting you off, I'm cutting you off. I'm creating
49:31
Speaker 4: these quote unquote boundaries where nobody's allowed to cross them anymore.
49:35
Speaker 4: And you're now on an island by yourself. You're the
49:38
Speaker 4: happiest person ever, but you got no one around you,
49:40
Speaker 4: and you think that's fantastic.
49:41
Speaker 6: Okay?
49:42
Speaker 4: Is that a win? Is that a w? I think
49:44
Speaker 4: she's making sense here. In effect, what's happening is we
49:48
Speaker 4: are creating or normalizing this idea of being an island.
49:53
Speaker 4: It's exactly opposite of the ecclisia, right, what the Greek
49:57
Speaker 4: calls the church body of believers. Right, they call it
50:01
Speaker 4: the body of Christ. And again, I don't mean to
50:03
Speaker 4: sound like I'm preaching over here, but this is I
50:08
Speaker 4: think worldview one on one. If you're not part of
50:12
Speaker 4: the group, you're an outcast. Why would we volunteer ourselves
50:16
Speaker 4: to become outcasts? Because then, like she says, you fall
50:19
Speaker 4: into everything else. This is part of the rise of
50:22
Speaker 4: people becoming trans people falling into all sorts of rabbit holes,
50:25
Speaker 4: people falling into all sorts of things that happen when
50:28
Speaker 4: you're in isolation and you break apart from the tribe,
50:32
Speaker 4: the family.
50:33
Speaker 12: Go ahead, and now we have adults who can't sit
50:37
Speaker 12: with that discomfort, who shut down or explode when life
50:40
Speaker 12: gets hard. And then they call it a mental illness.
50:42
Speaker 12: But mental illness, but a lot of it is just
50:44
Speaker 12: emotional starvation. And you have to think about it. We're
50:47
Speaker 12: the most connected generation online at the most disconnected generation
50:51
Speaker 12: in real life.
50:53
Speaker 4: Are we really mentally ill or is it, like she
50:56
Speaker 4: just said, just emotional starvation? Are people feeling anxious and
51:01
Speaker 4: overly anxious and dealing with anxiety disorders and panic disorders
51:06
Speaker 4: and depression because they've opted to cut off their family
51:11
Speaker 4: in thinking that the family was the source of all
51:13
Speaker 4: their problems. Are they actually exacerbating a problem that could
51:19
Speaker 4: have been solved by maybe better communication or changing their
51:24
Speaker 4: worldview right, changing the way they were seeing the situation
51:27
Speaker 4: and realizing these people aren't the problem, They're part of
51:31
Speaker 4: my solution.
51:33
Speaker 6: Just the thought. Yeahead, play to tay.
51:35
Speaker 12: People are scrolling for hours a day, comparing their lives,
51:38
Speaker 12: chasing validation, pretending they're healed while silently falling apart inside.
51:43
Speaker 12: And then they post about protecting their peace while crying
51:45
Speaker 12: themselves to sleep. Because peace doesn't come from cutting everyone out.
51:48
Speaker 12: It comes from connection and love. And everywhere you look,
51:52
Speaker 12: people are breaking. Young adults in their twenties and thirties
51:54
Speaker 12: are medicated, lonely lost, parents are grieving, they're living children.
51:59
Speaker 12: Children are unresolved resentment instead of understanding, and society keeps
52:03
Speaker 12: cheering this on like its growth.
52:05
Speaker 6: She's one hundred percent right here. This isn't growth.
52:09
Speaker 4: Breaking families in the name of preserving and protecting your peace.
52:15
Speaker 4: Uh uh, This to me sounds like people are getting
52:18
Speaker 4: bamboozled by clever Instagram quotes that fly in the face
52:24
Speaker 4: of reality.
52:25
Speaker 12: Go ahead, and this is emotional extinction. It's raising generations
52:29
Speaker 12: that don't know how to repair, how to apologize, how
52:32
Speaker 12: to sit and discomfort, how to communicate effectively, how to
52:34
Speaker 12: rebuild trust. They know how to leave, they know how
52:37
Speaker 12: to block, how to disappear, but not how to heal.
52:39
Speaker 12: And that's why suicides are rates are climbing because you
52:42
Speaker 12: can't medicate what's missing when what's missing is a human connection.
52:46
Speaker 12: It's not all hopeless, but it does take courage to
52:49
Speaker 12: talk again, to reach out again, to love again, even
52:52
Speaker 12: when it hurts, because real healing is found in repairing
52:54
Speaker 12: the bonds that shaped us, even if it takes time,
52:58
Speaker 12: even if it means forgiving people who didn't know better.
53:00
Speaker 12: And you can't keep labeling everything else talksic just because
53:03
Speaker 12: it's imperfect, or replacing connection with content. If we want
53:06
Speaker 12: to stop this emotional crisis, we have to start at home.
53:09
Speaker 6: We have to.
53:10
Speaker 12: Rebuild where the break even started, because every healed family
53:13
Speaker 12: creates a ripple, and that ripple might be the very
53:16
Speaker 12: thing that saves the next generation from falling apart.
53:19
Speaker 4: Wow again, Tanya Khazal, I think she's hit the nail
53:23
Speaker 4: on the head here. And if she doesn't have a book.
53:24
Speaker 4: I don't see a book that she's written, but she
53:27
Speaker 4: should write one, and you should follow her on YouTube
53:30
Speaker 4: or wherever you see her. I see her on Instagram
53:33
Speaker 4: every now and again. But let me tell you really
53:35
Speaker 4: really smart stuff here, because I think she's figured out
53:40
Speaker 4: through her own experience that I've seen her share about
53:43
Speaker 4: that she had this problem with alienating her own parents
53:47
Speaker 4: and fascinating to me, right, fascinating something so simple, Right,
53:51
Speaker 4: it's very Freudian, Right, everything Freud says everything goes back
53:54
Speaker 4: to your parents, I guess sure, but not in the
53:58
Speaker 4: way that I think Freud took it the other direction.
54:00
Speaker 4: Every problem you has have is because of your parents.
54:04
Speaker 4: She's saying, every problem you have can be solved by
54:06
Speaker 4: strengthening the relationship with your parents and strengthening the family unit.
54:11
Speaker 4: How's that for a novel idea and one that is
54:13
Speaker 4: way more in line with at least the view of
54:18
Speaker 4: the world that I have and I think many of
54:20
Speaker 4: my listeners do as well, that we believe in family. Right,
54:25
Speaker 4: in a couple of days, it's gonna be Christmas Eve,
54:27
Speaker 4: and we're gonna be celebrating at least, if you know,
54:29
Speaker 4: like in my family, it's the noche went up party
54:32
Speaker 4: on Christmas Day is not much of anything in many
54:35
Speaker 4: Hispanic households, even the ones that are Americans of Hispanic descent,
54:39
Speaker 4: because the culture runs deep, and we love our culture
54:42
Speaker 4: and we like to roast that pork. And guess what,
54:45
Speaker 4: you know, people who don't like pork, they probably won't
54:48
Speaker 4: enjoy themselves at a Puerto Rican Christmas. But if you do,
54:52
Speaker 4: you're gonna have some roast pork shoulder. You're gonna have
54:55
Speaker 4: those those green bananas made into bastelas if you ever
54:59
Speaker 4: had those that has pork inside of it as well,
55:02
Speaker 4: and they're boiled and then prepared in this banana leaf.
55:07
Speaker 4: I mean, really is. I guess it's an acquired taste
55:09
Speaker 4: for some. I know a lot of people who don't
55:11
Speaker 4: like bastendas. And then of course the age old coquito,
55:15
Speaker 4: right our coquito, which is that rum infused condensed milk
55:20
Speaker 4: with coconut water or coconut milk. I'm not sure of
55:26
Speaker 4: the recipe, but it is fantastic. And anyway, I'm getting
55:30
Speaker 4: off topic here. Bottom line here with this is I
55:35
Speaker 4: think miss Hazal are Kasal, excuse me, I think she's
55:38
Speaker 4: onto something big here do we as people advance and
55:44
Speaker 4: make progress and heal by getting rid of quote unquote
55:50
Speaker 4: toxic family members. Now, I know the easy thing. It
55:54
Speaker 4: sounds like saying, look, these people are toxic, They're like cancer.
55:56
Speaker 4: I gotta cut them out and then I'll be better.
55:59
Speaker 4: And I know some people in the beginning of that
56:02
Speaker 4: they think that that's the answer. And I'm speaking from
56:04
Speaker 4: my own experience, right, I never thought my mom was toxic,
56:06
Speaker 4: but I knew we argued. But I you know, me
56:09
Speaker 4: being the jokesterre I am, I always say she's a
56:12
Speaker 4: dinosaur lady. You know, I'd say you're like a t rex.
56:14
Speaker 4: All you do is yellow. Yeah, every time I come in,
56:16
Speaker 4: you're all you do is yellow? And she you know,
56:19
Speaker 4: it was that type of love hate banter. But I
56:23
Speaker 4: never not came for the fight. I always came for
56:25
Speaker 4: the fight. And that's just how it worked. That's you know,
56:28
Speaker 4: my mom was going to say something that she didn't
56:30
Speaker 4: like and I dealt with that. And I think that's
56:32
Speaker 4: kind of how we all do it. But this New
56:35
Speaker 4: age psychology tells us that whether it's your parents or
56:39
Speaker 4: not right, your boss, whoever, I mean, somehow we all
56:42
Speaker 4: have these rights that we didn't have before. A couple
56:45
Speaker 4: of weeks back, maybe a couple of months ago, you
56:47
Speaker 4: know me and my quote unquote time blindness. I talked
56:50
Speaker 4: about something called the gen Z stare, and the gen
56:54
Speaker 4: Z stare is something that, again to me, is emblematic
56:57
Speaker 4: of this. When you talk to a gen Z person
57:00
Speaker 4: and they think that you're off your rocker because you're
57:02
Speaker 4: supposed to know the answer to the question you're asking,
57:04
Speaker 4: they will give you this look like are you stupid
57:06
Speaker 4: or retarded?
57:07
Speaker 6: Forgive the use.
57:07
Speaker 4: Of the R word there, but that type of approach
57:12
Speaker 4: is I think part of what's taking this society down
57:15
Speaker 4: the tubes. Suicides are up, transsexuals are up, all sorts
57:19
Speaker 4: of people going off the deep end here. Just tell
57:22
Speaker 4: your parents you love them, figure it out and follow this,
57:25
Speaker 4: Lady Tanya Gazal, All right, guys, I'm Rich Faldesk coming
57:27
Speaker 4: right at richfald Deesk on all of the social media,
57:32
Speaker 4: and I just want to remind you guys that I
57:34
Speaker 4: want to thank you again. I should say, right, there's
57:37
Speaker 4: so many of you that listen to this show, and
57:38
Speaker 4: I know you're used to listening to a longer version.
57:40
Speaker 4: And we did a two hour version, and quite honestly,
57:43
Speaker 4: it was just a lot on the production team. But
57:46
Speaker 4: we may advance to that two hours that I promised
57:48
Speaker 4: you in the new year. Just with the holidays and
57:53
Speaker 4: the transition to the new platform, it's been you know,
57:57
Speaker 4: different people, different schedules, so it's not that easy to
58:01
Speaker 4: crank things out, and I know there's been some delays,
58:03
Speaker 4: so forgive me for that. But the intention is for
58:06
Speaker 4: you to be able to check in at Richveldes dot
58:08
Speaker 4: com or iHeartRadio or your app or however you listening
58:11
Speaker 4: to the show and have a brand new episode for
58:16
Speaker 4: that day at nine pm, and we will have that
58:20
Speaker 4: for you. Of course, I'm asking you for some grace
58:22
Speaker 4: as we are navigating the holiday season and you know,
58:26
Speaker 4: some of us already half in the bag drinking the coquito.
58:29
Speaker 4: Not me, of course, but I want to thank you
58:32
Speaker 4: for all of the support. I've seen so many positive
58:35
Speaker 4: comments online and just to let you know the project
58:38
Speaker 4: we're working on is going well. There's just a lot
58:41
Speaker 4: of people involved, there's a lot some travel involved, and
58:45
Speaker 4: those are things that I'm ready to go, you know me,
58:47
Speaker 4: I've got my foot on the gas, ready to rock
58:49
Speaker 4: and roll. But there is, there's a lot. There's a
58:55
Speaker 4: lot to do, but I suspect that between the beginning
58:58
Speaker 4: of the year and the middle of the year or
59:00
Speaker 4: summertime around the fifteenth, it might be the middle of
59:04
Speaker 4: the January to the end of the year, perhaps that
59:08
Speaker 4: might be where we start to target an announcement on
59:12
Speaker 4: a new syndication that is coming your way and in
59:16
Speaker 4: conjunction with seeing my face for radio in addition to
59:22
Speaker 4: hearing my voice. So I'm excited about that. A lot
59:25
Speaker 4: of this stuff we're doing is non exclusive, leaving the
59:27
Speaker 4: door open for further expansion because that is the name
59:30
Speaker 4: of the game in this world. And an exciting time,
59:35
Speaker 4: a really exciting time. And I'm grateful to each and
59:37
Speaker 4: every one of you, the listeners that have been on
59:40
Speaker 4: board since day one. I'm talking since twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
59:44
Speaker 4: but thank you from the bottom of my heart. And
59:46
Speaker 4: of course, as we head into the weekend next week,
59:50
Speaker 4: we've got Amfest happening over the weekend. That's America Fests,
59:54
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk's big annual gathering, and this is going to
59:58
Speaker 4: be the first one without Charlie Kirk, so we will
1:00:01
Speaker 4: have somebody on the ground joining us on Monday. I
1:00:05
Speaker 4: believe our buddy Kevin Smith from the Long Island Loud
1:00:07
Speaker 4: Majority is going to be joining us.
1:00:09
Speaker 6: Kevin Smith's cool guy.
1:00:11
Speaker 4: Him and Sean Farish did an amazing job with all
1:00:14
Speaker 4: of their partners with Long Island Loud Majority because the
1:00:19
Speaker 4: Silent Majority was silent no more, and they did an
1:00:22
Speaker 4: amazing job and the team that they put together was fantastic,
1:00:28
Speaker 4: still rocking and rolling with activism and getting people excited
1:00:31
Speaker 4: about elections and whatnot. So kudos to them and Kevin Smith,
1:00:35
Speaker 4: he's former MMA fighter by the way, he'll be joining
1:00:38
Speaker 4: us from Amfest to give us the scoop on what
1:00:41
Speaker 4: happened at Amfest on the Monday night show. And of
1:00:45
Speaker 4: course Astal Aproxima take care, good night, and God bless
1:00:50
Speaker 4: you America. And I always say when we wrap up
1:00:53
Speaker 4: the show, you have to stand for something, because if
1:00:56
Speaker 4: you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And the
1:00:59
Speaker 4: only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good
1:01:03
Speaker 4: people like you, miamigos, my familia to sit there and
1:01:07
Speaker 4: do nothing. So it's time for you to do what
1:01:09
Speaker 4: you gotta do, stand on what you stand on, and
1:01:12
Speaker 4: get her done. I'm rich Valdaz and this is America.
1:01:16
Speaker 5: This is America.
