• 1:35
  Speaker 2: been my producers for a long time. And a big
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: shout-out to all of my radio familia. Of course, I'm
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: getting a text message from one of my radio familia,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Chris Libertini. He says, Que Mala Eres. That's right, my
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: nickname for Kamala Harris. Shout-out to Chris Libertini, one of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the best voices in radio. And I don't want to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: belabor too many thank yous and hellos. I just want
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to say it's always great to be back here serving
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: as Mr. Call Screener here for many years. Love coming
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: back to visit. But that's the question that I'm posing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: What America do you want? Because let me tell you,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: there is absolutely a lot on the line. I mean,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: this is a big deal. I don't know if I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: can stress this enough. Think of 2024. And I remember
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: being on this show, 2024. Mark had called me, Richie,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I need you to take over. I said, no problem, sir.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I'm coming in. And I go right ahead and I
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: come on this show and I gave a monologue. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that monologue that night, it was right before the election.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't scared, but I was very concerned, deeply
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: concerned for the America that my daughters grow up in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I got a 21-year-old and a 25-year-old. And guess what?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: This country's not the same. It's not the same country
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it was when they were in high school, let alone
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the same country it was when I was in high school.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And there's a choice before us right now. A lot
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of people complaining, well, I don't like gas prices. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: don't like this. I don't like that. And I say,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I don't like commies. I don't like socialism. I don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like all the crazy that comes with that. Whatever complaining
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you're doing right now, think about the administration of President
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and what that would look like and what
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that would be like. Is that the America you want?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Just take a second and visualize it, you know? I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: believe in visualizing things. You got to see things. You know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: close your eyes. If you're on the road, you're a trucker.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Don't close your eyes. But think about this in your
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: mind's eye. It's Inauguration Day, right? All the new members
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of Congress are coming in. Are we talking about hanging
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: our heads in shame because it's a blue wave and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we got spanked? And now we just got to sit
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: back and watch them go for it with the impeachment
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of Donald Trump? Part three and four, five, six and seven,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: because they won't stop. He's the first one to say it, right?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He said it months ago. Said, boy, if we don't win,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: they're going to impeach me. They're going to make something up.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: They're going to make it up. They're going to impeach me.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Of course they are. Why wouldn't they? Right now, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party stands for two things. One, hating Trump. The other,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: moving to the left. That's it. You've got the likes
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of Adam Schiff and the likes of AOC all out crazy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: My least favorite congresswoman from the Bronx and Queens. Those
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: are the two options that you have. Tax and spend.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Tax and spend. Then you have the Republicans. Oh, they
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: want data centers. Oh, they want tax cuts for the rich. Listen,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'll take tax cuts for the rich. First of all,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: they're not for the rich. They're for everybody. But I'll
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: take the tax cuts for the rich and the data
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: centers all day. over leah thomas over boys being girls
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: girls being boys everything is good except for jesus he's
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: bad right i mean that's sadly to put it simplistically
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that's where we've arrived at it it bewilders me right
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: i'm always like wow i can't believe we're here i'm
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not that old i'm 48 i was born in brooklyn

• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it got a new name. What's the new name? Interfaith
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Medical Center. I don't know if they've changed the name
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: since then. They might have. But this leftward process that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: we've been going through has been affecting our society for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: a long time. And now here we are. We've got
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who's as crooked as can be, who's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: out here telling us that she doesn't like america she's

  Speaker 2: part alone earlier this year i've been on a lot
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: of trips this year One of my trips was to Dallas, Texas.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The great Matt Schlapp. Matt and Mercedes Schlapp from CPAC.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: They hosted CPAC in Texas. I graciously got an invitation
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to speak there. I did. And I enjoyed myself in Dallas.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It was a nice place. Good steak. Wonderful. Do I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: have to worry about that now? The next time I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: go to Dallas, I got to worry about Tallarico?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: And all the crazy stuff going on there. Do we
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: have to worry about Motor City?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Michigan becoming the next... No, you fill in the blank.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Do we want Abdulrahman El-Sayed? And I'm not saying that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: for any emphasis other than he said, take your name
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: out my mouth. Or take my name out your mouth.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: That's what he said, right? He said, if you can't
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: say Abdulrahman, Abdulrahman, then don't say it. So I'm saying
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it the way he said it. We've come to a very,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: very interesting place where it's almost comical. Seems almost fake.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: You scroll through the social media and you see people
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: saying things. I mean, they will stick to their guns
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: on any argument.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Any.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: There's one black influencer out there and he's like, hey,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: do black lives matter? And they're like, you bet. Hell yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And he's like, do they matter when we're aborting them?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And they're like, oh, hold on, hold on a second. No,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. All sorts of people. He gets
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: everybody from every race and they're like, oh, no, no, no,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: hold on. That's it. It's just a blob. And they
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: go into their backpedaling. The left is devoid of logic.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It thrives on emotion. We know this. And we're seeing
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it play out in real time. Every day a little
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: bit more. It's sad. It's sad to see how it's
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: playing out every single day. But here we are. Now what?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: What do we do? We vote. We vote like our
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: lives depend on it. We vote like America depends on it.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: This is not a game. That energy that we felt
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: in 2024 when Trump was out there talking about lawfare,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: when Trump was out there on the campaign trail like
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: he is now, and then some psycho tried to take
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: him out, grazed his ear. We can't play this game anymore.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Too many things have happened. You know, I don't like
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to live in the past, but I was with Mr.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Producer one time at a party, a gala at Mar-a-Lago.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And it was being hosted by Charlie Kirk. And we
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: spent some time with Charlie Kirk and talking to him and,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: you know, getting to know him a little bit. And
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: to think that he's not around today because of some
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: crazy lefty. I know there's a lot of people who
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: think they want to blame everybody from Netanyahu to the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: wife to everybody else. I got it. And I reject it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I trust Kash Patel on this one. These crazy lefties
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: have been killing people left and right they do it
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: all the time I'll roll the dice on almost any
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: situation when you show me these crazy people almost always
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they're crazy lefties because the radical left is always happy
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: to kill their opposition They don't see you as people.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: That's why they embrace abortion the way they do. That's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: why they dehumanize the way they do. Orange man bad.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: He's not a person. He's an obstacle. And he correctly
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: said it. They're coming after me because they're really going
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: after you. That's you and me. That's my children. My
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: future grandchildren. Your future grandchildren. I don't want to be
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: all panties in a bunch over here on the radio,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: but come on. We've got to school a few people, right?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We've got to put a few spankings on people. We've
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: got to wake people up and say, hey, look, it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: time to get out to these polls. It's time to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: make things happen. Listen, this isn't 2020 anymore, right? We're
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: not afraid of the Chinese flu. We're in a new place.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It's a different time. And right now, We have more information,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: more ability to fight back than we've ever had.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Am I right or am I right? We've never had
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: so much power on X, Instagram, Truth Social, Facebook. Those
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: guys were all the enemy ones. Now, they're whining and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: dining in the White House, trying to check out the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: new ballroom that El Trompito is building. We've got to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: use all that to our advantage. Nobody memes better. Nobody
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: trolls better than the right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: That's just a fact. So again, I'm going to keep
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: harping on this. Which America do you want? The one
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: where Bernie Sanders holds up something other than the Holy
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Bible to swear in whomever he feels like in Congress?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Where Kamala Harris feels like, you know what, I know
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I said I wouldn't run, but hey, maybe I will.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: where everybody seems to think that they're the best option
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: for America. Because why? Oh, because I had to pay
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: $ 4 and something cents for gas. Oh, because I don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: like America. Oh, because I don't like the Jews. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of being their puppet, right? Because that's the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: latest propaganda, right? They have done a number on our movement.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: And it's time that we show them, you didn't really
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: do the number you thought you did. I, for one,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: can tell you, I see through all this stuff. Most
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of it's fake phony and fraud. And we got to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: call it out for exactly what it is. Can't sit
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: here and keep playing this game. So we're going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: talk about the midterms, your thoughts on that, your calls
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: on that. We're going to get into a bunch of things,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a little update on Iran. Part of me, I don't
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: know how much of a part of me, but part
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: of me says October surprises, Trump announcing the regime is gone.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: We were going to try and do it after the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: election because we didn't want to influence anybody's politics or
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: their votes. We had to take action. They died like dogs, right?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I would love that. I'd love hearing a message like that. Sir,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: if you're listening, let's go on Iran a little quicker, please,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: with all due respect. And Katie Zachariah deciding to move on, apparently.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to get into that in a little bit.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And what do you think? What do you think about me?
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I think I could tussle with the press.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You guys let me know what you think. 877-381-3811 is
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: the phone number. We're going to continue our conversation when
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: we return. Mark Levin will be with you guys on Monday.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I'll be with you tonight and for the rest of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the show. And I'm coming right back. Don't go anywhere.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and he's.
• 15:19

• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to what I'm about to tell you, because, and you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: know this, I'm just repeating the obvious, MAGA, Trump, patriotism,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: is a threat to domestic corruption and the deep state
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: bend the holes this is why they hate us maga
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: is a threat the body politic is has been awakened
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: by the truth and now they're scared right because mag
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is a threat to gender norms it's a threat to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: income taxes it's a threat to continued deep state corruption
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they don't want to deal with that so of course
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: they do what they do right they laugh in the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: face of the authorities you'll handle marcia's she doesn't care
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: i want to know you guys think about this eight
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: seven seven three eight one thirty eleven eight seven seven
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: three eight one three eight one one let's go to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: callous spell montana checking with lance lance what's going on.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: Yes good evening rich thanks for taking my call yes
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: sir just wanted to say that i agree with you
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: that i'd doubt Ilhan Omar will see any prison time
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: or any consequential, I guess, reaction to her actions. Just
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: for a simple fact, she's got a lot of friends
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: in powerful places, and they're going to do everything to
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: protect her from that. You know, she'll probably wind up
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: on a talk show somewhere. Secondly, I think you would
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: make an exceptional press secretary. I do miss hearing... I
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: do miss hearing your voice on the other radio show
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: that new guy had.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Let's be gracious and kind. You can always listen to me, right?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Rich Valdez, this is America. You can listen. We have
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a new show every day at 9 o'clock. So I
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: appreciate your kind words, Lance, for sure. And make sure
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: you check me out at richvaldez.com. But to agree with you,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, I do agree. You're agreeing with
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: my sentiment. But I'll say this. Ilhan Omar, I hope.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I hope, I hope, I hope. that we're able to
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: have some accountability, because I think the American people are
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: desperate for accountability. And in some cases, some cases, excuse me,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: we have created a missed sized version of accountability, where
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: we think we're on heaven, you know, we're in heaven,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: heaven on earth. And sadly, we know that there is
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: still corruption in this life. And as far as the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: press secretary role, I appreciate it. I think some might
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: think I'm a little bit too much of a nice guy,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a little bit too much of a pushover for that.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: But I can get gangsta if I have to. Anyway, Lance,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: nice to hear your voice. Thanks for your call, my brother.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you. And familia, we continue with our conversation
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: straight ahead. 877-381-3811 if you want to weigh in. More
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: to come straight ahead is Rich Valdez hosting the Mark
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Levin Show. Mark is coming back on Monday. Don't go anywhere.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: This is America.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: President Donald J.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Trump, Mr.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: President, welcome to the program, sir.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I know you very well, and I listen, but I
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: have a lot of people that listen.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: And they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: All right, America, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company tonight,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Friday night, sitting in for the great one Mark Levin,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: 877-381-3811 is our phone number. And many of you know
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I had a longtime rivalry with my least favorite congresswoman
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: from the Bronx and Queens, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, all out
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: crazy herself. And Congresswoman AOC, all out crazy, she was
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: at a rally today with El-Sayed, Abdul Rahman El-Sayed. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: she says the GOP doesn't want women to go to college.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I think she might be right about that. I think
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: they don't want anybody to go to college. Charlie Kirk,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: God rest his soul, he wrote a great book called
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: The College Scam. And he and I did an interview
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: about that. and they made a lot of good points
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: in i used to work in higher ed but it's
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: not the same higher ed at once was listen to
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: a m c today with al-sayed check.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: This out what they're making harder what they're not going
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: to give people student loans for and it's nurses.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: It's social workers.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: They don't want women to go to college, y'all. And
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: they're defunding the ability for people to become nurses, teachers,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: social workers. We have to understand what the deal is here.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: We do have to understand the deal here because we
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: have a nursing shortage. So I think we need to
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: make sure we're still doing this. Now, I think what
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: she's talking about is that there are loan caps. because
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: graduate nursing programs are classified as non-professional degrees. So she's
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: really misrepresenting it, right? Because in reality, there's reality and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: then there's preference. You can get, in many states, you
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: can get a registered nurse degree at the associate level, right? 60,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: 70 credits, something like that, and get a job. Now,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: many hospitals might turn to you and say, oh, you know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: we prefer that you have the BSN, the Bachelor of
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Science in Nursing. Okay, but that's, Even that, and I'm
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: sure you can get a loan for that, they're talking
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: about beyond graduate programs and that they're not professional programs. Meaning,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: you can't be a lawyer without a JD, a Juris
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Doctor degree, but you can be a nurse at the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: baccalaureate level. You don't have to be a nurse at
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the Master of Science level or where you become a
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: higher level nurse, advanced practice nurse. And they're terrific, right?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: In many places, they replace doctors in many ways in
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: initial patient care. So the point I'm making is AOC
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: is misrepresenting this, right? She's saying that we're limiting this.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And we're not limiting that. They're not saying that women
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: can't do that. We're saying that you don't need that, right?
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: And who made these needs in many ways, right? Why
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: did so many teachers go for a master's degree? And
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you might argue and say, well, they have more education. No,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: it's really because most of them get more money if
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: they have a master's and their union pays for it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: So a lot of this is at the behest and
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the whim of a labor union. So this is why
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: AOC is mad because her donors, the labor union base,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: they don't like this. They don't like it one bit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: So she goes on to say, that we can't be
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: replaced with algorithms. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to throw out
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: vegetables every week. What? Listen to this.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I want to thank you as well for your service,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: but to also know that we cannot be replaced with
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: these algorithms. If we could, we wouldn't be having to
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: toss out our vegetables every single week. And so thank
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: you for your service. And I'm sorry for what has
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: happened to you. I'm sorry to so many of our
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: federal workers that have done good, valuable, strong work and
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: have been treated in such undignified ways.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: How undignified? We're not going to give you money anymore.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: You know, look, some people get student loans. Other people
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: don't get student loans. I understand. I'd be upset, too,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: if I wanted to get a master's in teaching or
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a master's in nursing. I'd be mad right now because
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: I'd say, wow, you mean now there's going to be
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: a cap on it? I can only get up to $ 20, 000
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: as opposed to what I used to? That's the reality
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of it. You're going to have to find somewhere else
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: to borrow this money. Get a scholarship. Pay more towards it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Find a cheaper school. That's life. I get it. But
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: she's trying to weaponize this, as all politicians do, right?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: To say, look, this is an issue that matters to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: you and framing it like it's the Republican war on women.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: And quite frankly, this is really the Republican war on
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the deep state and on spending. But she loves to
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: misrepresent it. Now, what it has to do with throwing
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: out vegetables every week has escaped me. Perhaps it didn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: escape you. Maybe you guys are on the same wavelength,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: but I am not. I don't possess the intellectual depth
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to capture what she's putting down over here. But I
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: understood enough to say, look, She's making a play, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: it's a valuable play. This is where I'll give her credit.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: When you're talking to people who are teachers and nurses
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: and others that are typically represented by labor unions, those
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: are the people you want to say. We can't be
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: replaced by algorithms because you can't. Right? Public schools are
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: going to be defended tooth and nail. Listen, I'm the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: first one to say I believe in education wholeheartedly. I've
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: worked for a number of... Educational institutions actually have the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: good pleasure of being one of the founders of a
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: charter school in New Jersey. And I can tell you this.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, big shout out to the beloved community
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: charter school in Jersey City and all of the amazing
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: work happening there. But AOC here is just politicizing this.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: And again, she's a politician, so she's entitled to do that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: The bigger issue here is People are being lied to
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: left and right. These people don't leave here and go,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I wonder if there's another side to this argument. I
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: wonder if people truly hate us. They don't. They just
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: automatically assume it's true. Quick ADHD moment for you. The
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: other day I made a comment on some Instagram post.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: It was about Puerto Rico, about status, something, you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: political status of Puerto Rico. And and they were basically,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: you know, just to give you some background, AOC and
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell and many Republicans have a similar view. Puerto
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Rico should never be a state. That's the view of AOC.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: That's the view of many Republicans today. It wasn't always
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the view, right? There was a time when it was
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: part of the Republican Party's platform for Puerto Rico to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: become a state. We've got away from that. I haven't, but,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: you know, the party largely has. Marco Rubio is actually
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a huge proponent of Puerto Rican statehood, because when you
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: look at the numbers, and this is not a big
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: tangent I'm going to go on here, but when you
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: look at the numbers, a good majority of the statewide
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: elected officials in Puerto Rico have been Republicans, including the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Trump Republicans sitting in office now. But yet, a lot
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: of people buy this line, hook, line, and sinker, automatic
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: two new senators for Puerto Rico. I don't know why
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: we would think that. Before this woman was governor, she
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: was the one congressperson they have, a Trump Republican, Jennifer
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Gonzalez Colon. So, again, I don't have a real reason
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: based in reality to think that Puerto Ricans are somehow
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: radically left-wing crazy people that want all of these things.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: I would say if you've ever been there, spent any
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: time there, understand the culture, it's quite the opposite. Now,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: are there some AOCs amongst us, some Bernie Sanders? For sure.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Are they the majority? Are they the majority here? Are
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: most people like AOC? Are most people like Bernie Sanders?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: No.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: So why would they be in Puerto Rico? They're not.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: And that's the point I'm making. So when AOC is
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: selling this story here, falsely labeling Republicans as people that
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: are against women and don't want them to be educated,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: their naivete is their own downfall because they believe everything
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: they're being told. You can't believe everything you're being told.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You have to test things. You have to say, hey,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: what's going on? What is the reality here? Why is
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: it that there is a limit now on student loans
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: for nurses? Well, it's only on the graduate level. It's
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: not on the baccalaureate level. That makes sense. I understand.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: And that's my point. We've got to stop with these
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: knee-jerk reactions to things where, you know, blanket statements. We
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: don't stop to consider anything. We don't stop to say,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: hold on a second. You mean to tell me that
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: We've been getting our butts handed to us by Iran
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: for the better part of half a century. On and off.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Whether it was the TWA Airlines flight that they hijacked
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: or the bombing of the troops in Beirut. Today I
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: saw a video of some guy screaming at the top
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: of his lungs talking about Iran hasn't killed any American civilians.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Why does that matter to me? They killed American soldiers.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That matters to me. Am I automatically going to dismiss
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the fact that they did that? Now, I get the
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: point he was trying to make. He was trying to
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: make the point that soldiers die in every war. We
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: can't sit here and freak out because some bad guys
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: got some good guys. But I would say, yes, we can.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And guess what? Thank God they gave the hostages back. What,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: you're going to give them a pass on that? No.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Come on, I'm not giving anybody a pass. And this
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: is not a disagreement per se. This is just a
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: difference of opinion, right? It's an observation that I see
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: from a different perspective. I don't think one view is
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: right versus wrong per se. I think this is we're
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: just looking at things from a perspective where we're looking
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to have an isolationist point of view. And I understand that.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: That's popular. It's very popular in certain circles. But I
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: don't have that view. I never have had that view.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I think that the United States has a duty that's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: incumbent upon it or upon us to do some of
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the heavy lifting that others aren't willing to do because
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: we are the big guy on the block. And that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: part of the responsibility of being the big guy on
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the block. When you have a family, a mom, dad, daughter, son,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: when push comes to shove, who's the one making the sacrifices, right?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: It's mom and dad. Typically dad if it's a financial
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: one or a working one where you've got to go
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: out there and get a second job to make ends meet.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Traditionally speaking, that is dad that does that. If it's
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: mom making a sacrifice, maybe to stay home, to work
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: inside the home, to be with the kids. God forbid
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: one of the kids has a special need that requires
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: more attention. Sometimes you see dad do it and mom
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: is off to work. But in most cases, it's the
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: other way around. Well, the same way here. The United
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: States is the big guy on the block. The old
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: lady is getting robbed. And there's a big giant man
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the size of Shaq. What are you going to do?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Sit there and go, I'm sorry, we don't get involved
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: in foreign wars. We don't do that. We're going to
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: focus on, you know, come on. Let's get real here. Right?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: You don't get the biggest, baddest army in the world
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: for nothing. Why are we the biggest, baddest army in
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: the world?
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Because we're tried. Because we're tested. I was talking to
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: a general not too long ago. And he said, I
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: don't care what kind of aircraft carriers China puts out.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I don't care about any of that. Because those people
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: don't have any experience in live combat. And that includes
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: flying drones. It was a valid point. So valid that
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: people are actually paying. Mercenaries from the cartels are currently
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: paying to go get fighting experience in Ukraine. Imagine that.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Imagine that. Wild stuff. So anyway, I want to take
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: a quick pause right here. But when we come back,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I want to continue on this theme of crazy lefties.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: And there's one from New York. And this one, her
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: name is Daria Lisa Avila Chevalier. And she did an
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: interview politically yesterday. And she says Democrats can learn from us,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the DSA, the radical leftist socialists, how to create a
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: bold vision instead of taking excuses. So that's coming up
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: straight ahead. It's Rich Valdez in for the great one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. Para Inglés, o Primal
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Número Dos.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Para Rich Valdez.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Y esto es America. Ahora.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: All right, America, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company tonight.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Friday night, live and national. Sitting in for the great one,
• 32:54

  Speaker 2: And I am happy to be here with you guys
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: this evening talking about my beloved new york city i
• 33:07

  Speaker 2: jersey as a teenager and love it jersey still in
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: jersey work in new york and it always is uh...
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: takes a toll on my heart if you will to
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: see that bernie sanders has so many disciples and so
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: many of them are in new york the latest from
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the democrat socialists of america the d s a is
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the candidate that replaced their beat uh... in as the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: piano is spiked yet in uh... inward washington heights and
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: that is that the at least uh... avila chevalier she
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: did an interview yesterday with political and she says it's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the democrats that can learn from us and what is
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: it that we can learn uh... with the democrats that
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: we really but the democrats uh... she's saying that the
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: d s a teaches how to cast of bold vision
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: instead of taking excuses like democrats It's because they have
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a very militant view, a very communistic view of what
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: they're here to do. They're here to change the world,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: change the government, right? Abolish ICE, abolish jails, abolish the police.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: These are the things they want to do. Abolish prisons.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: What else do they want to get rid of? They
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: want to get rid of the United States Senate. They
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: want to pack the Supreme Court. These are all things
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: they support, because in their minds, this is a good idea.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: These are the reforms that America needs. And I just think,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: how does an old man, you know, as he's known
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: by Curtis Lee and others, the Alta.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Caca, Bernard Sanders, Senator Sanders, how is it that this
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: grandpa with the funny mittens, he breaks through to the
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: minds of so many young Latinas?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: How does that happen? I'll explain to you how it happens.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: It happens in a place called college. The same place
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: AOC was saying, they don't want you to go. Well,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: the reason they want you to go is because you
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: turn into those people there. You take an otherwise very conservative...
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: This girl is from the Dominican Republic, right? Her family.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure how many countries have the Holy Bible
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: on their flag. But I know that the Dominican Republic
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: is one of them. And as far as I understand,
• 35:27
