Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez, powered Bi poliitweek dot
0:13
Speaker 1: com and.
0:14
Speaker 2: Rich Valdes is with US former Christian Administration official.
0:16
Speaker 3: You worked at Chris Christie and in Fallistas on a
0:18
Speaker 3: lot of public service stuff.
0:19
Speaker 4: Rich Valdez columnist now with the Washington Times.
0:22
Speaker 1: This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with the Nation,
0:26
Speaker 1: with the America with your host, Rich Valdez.
0:31
Speaker 5: What's up, America.
0:32
Speaker 4: I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an s at Rich
0:34
Speaker 4: Valdez on all of the social media.
0:36
Speaker 5: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
0:37
Speaker 4: It's the Monday night edition of the program, and I
0:40
Speaker 4: am blessed and happy to be here. I am your
0:42
Speaker 4: liberty loving Latino amigo. We are seventeen miles away from
0:46
Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden in New York City. The phone number
0:49
Speaker 4: if you want to join me, it's eight seven seven
0:51
Speaker 4: validest one. And I want to jump into a lot
0:54
Speaker 4: of things because there's a bunch that happened over the weekend.
0:57
Speaker 4: I was tempted to do a little bit of like
0:59
Speaker 4: an intern right a special episode on the weekends, just
1:02
Speaker 4: because there was so much to talk about the bombing
1:04
Speaker 4: that happened in Syria, the United States saying that it
1:07
Speaker 4: was at Isis. Meanwhile, I got some people that are
1:10
Speaker 4: in the know on things, and they told me, I
1:12
Speaker 4: don't think.
1:12
Speaker 5: It was Isis as much it was the.
1:15
Speaker 4: Iranian factions within Syria. So it looks like we're putting
1:18
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on Iran in order to do that.
1:21
Speaker 4: Speaking of Iran, you've got these I guess the word
1:25
Speaker 4: that we use is protests.
1:26
Speaker 5: But it's nothing short of a color revolution that's going on.
1:28
Speaker 4: And I don't know if it's our intelligence agencies like
1:32
Speaker 4: the CIA did back in the seventies, or if it
1:37
Speaker 4: is other intelligence agencies and it's a global effort, but
1:41
Speaker 4: people seem to be tired of Iran. I think the
1:45
Speaker 4: age of the Malas is coming to an end, and
1:48
Speaker 4: we'll talk about that a little bit as well as
1:51
Speaker 4: we move forward in the program. Plus Argentina, wildfires in
1:56
Speaker 4: the Patagonia, some saying that they were started purpose. Most wildfires, right,
2:01
Speaker 4: I think fires don't really get wild my opinion. I
2:04
Speaker 4: feel like somebody starts all of them and then they
2:06
Speaker 4: just go out of control or wild if you will.
2:09
Speaker 4: But they grow quickly, I should say, and they spread
2:12
Speaker 4: quickly because of poor forest management. But I don't think
2:15
Speaker 4: they necessarily start all by themselves when you have these
2:18
Speaker 4: massive fires. But again I could be wrong. And then
2:24
Speaker 4: there's this, right, it's the big question of the day.
2:27
Speaker 4: There's plenty of things going on, there's no shortage of
2:29
Speaker 4: things to talk about. But I had some thoughts, and
2:33
Speaker 4: I have lots of thoughts that I write down sometimes
2:35
Speaker 4: and I forget to bring to the table. But one
2:39
Speaker 4: of the things I wanted to get into today was
2:42
Speaker 4: how our friends on the left, right, our fellow Americans
2:46
Speaker 4: that are more liberal, are fellow Americans that appreciate and
2:50
Speaker 4: subscribe to Marxism. How they they're different, right, they see
2:56
Speaker 4: things differently, And one of the ways they see things
2:59
Speaker 4: differently is how they get offended, right, And how.
3:04
Speaker 5: They're moved by emotion.
3:07
Speaker 6: Right.
3:07
Speaker 4: I think some people naturally gravitate to being moved by economics,
3:11
Speaker 4: by facts, by logic, and some people are just really
3:16
Speaker 4: moved by emotion.
3:19
Speaker 5: And I get it.
3:20
Speaker 4: I guess different people have a different predisposition to how
3:24
Speaker 4: they're moved. Got it checked understood. But thirty years ago,
3:28
Speaker 4: a very wise man, and I mean this, I think
3:30
Speaker 4: he's very wise. He's a comedian. His name is George Carlin.
3:34
Speaker 4: He had a lot of good things to say. Not
3:36
Speaker 4: only was he a heck of a funny guy, but
3:39
Speaker 4: he was really smart and he really brought a lot
3:41
Speaker 4: of wisdom to the table. And Carlin, in my opinion,
3:46
Speaker 4: he brought up a lot of very interesting things, a
3:48
Speaker 4: lot of intelligent things. He talked about stuff that we're
3:51
Speaker 4: going through today, things that you could compare to trans
3:54
Speaker 4: ideology that you compared to this overly zealous addictitudes toward
4:01
Speaker 4: people that you believe are just all the time oppressed, right,
4:04
Speaker 4: looking for people to be oppressed, people that don't even
4:06
Speaker 4: see themselves as oppressed. Right for the Venezuelans, for example,
4:09
Speaker 4: they are oppressed. And you got people out there that
4:12
Speaker 4: are now saying, you know, we're going to go against
4:14
Speaker 4: those people who cares what they want.
4:16
Speaker 5: They don't know what they want. We know what they want.
4:19
Speaker 4: And it's this philosophy that George Carlin talks about, where
4:24
Speaker 4: your identity or your ideology becomes your identity, and that's
4:29
Speaker 4: when you know you've officially screwed yourself.
4:31
Speaker 5: It's brilliant. Listen to this.
4:32
Speaker 3: When your identity is your ideology. Congratulations, you've officially screwed yourself.
4:37
Speaker 3: Because now it's not just an idea, and now it's you.
4:40
Speaker 3: And when the idea gets challenged, you don't hear disagreement,
4:43
Speaker 3: you hear an attack.
4:45
Speaker 5: So what do you do?
4:46
Speaker 3: You build a bubble, a nice, soft, padded little bubble
4:51
Speaker 3: where everyone agrees with you, uses the same words, hates
4:53
Speaker 3: the same people, and collapse at the exact right moments.
4:56
Speaker 3: And you will defend that bubble at all costs, even
4:58
Speaker 3: if it makes you sound incredibly stupid. Facts don't matter anymore.
5:02
Speaker 3: Logic's gone, humor dead because admitting you're wrong would mean
5:07
Speaker 3: admitting you are wrong, and that's unacceptable.
5:10
Speaker 6: So you double down.
5:12
Speaker 3: Louder, angrier, dumber. And that's how you end up defending
5:17
Speaker 3: nonsense like its sacred scripture, not because it's true, but
5:22
Speaker 3: because without it, you'd have to actually develop a personality.
5:29
Speaker 5: So you no longer hear an idea.
5:31
Speaker 4: You hear an attack, because your identity is now made
5:37
Speaker 4: wholly of your ideology. Man, talk about brilliant, talk about profound,
5:42
Speaker 4: talk about deep, George Carlin, everybody, and this is totally it.
5:47
Speaker 5: You feel attacked.
5:48
Speaker 4: Rather than simply having a difference of opinion, your disagreement
5:51
Speaker 4: now negates who and what they are, what they believe,
5:56
Speaker 4: what they're opposed to, and it's all right. Instead of
6:00
Speaker 4: just disagreeing with what they said or opposing what they said,
6:04
Speaker 4: you now disagree with their existence. This is a crazy
6:07
Speaker 4: way of looking at life. That's why you can't base
6:11
Speaker 4: your the entirety of your identity on your ideology. I
6:15
Speaker 4: can't walk around the streets and say I am a conservative.
6:18
Speaker 4: I can, but then I mean I would never be
6:22
Speaker 4: able to do so many different things right. And again
6:25
Speaker 4: it's it's to me, it's it's a part of who
6:27
Speaker 4: I am. Doesn't mean that it's all of who I am.
6:32
Speaker 4: And that's the problem. When this stuff begins to consume you,
6:35
Speaker 4: that's when you go and you say, I am a leftist,
6:39
Speaker 4: I am a lesbian, I am a Marxist, I am whatever, right,
6:44
Speaker 4: And you go and you live that instead of going
6:47
Speaker 4: to work, You find jobs to pay you to protest,
6:49
Speaker 4: and you go and you blockade ice, and you go
6:52
Speaker 4: and you taunt ice, and you make fun of ice,
6:54
Speaker 4: and you go and make problems for them, which ultimately
6:57
Speaker 4: makes problems for you. That's the type of thing that's
6:59
Speaker 4: going on right now. So how did we get to
7:01
Speaker 4: this place? Well, I think when people become consumed by this,
7:04
Speaker 4: I think oftentimes it comes from.
7:06
Speaker 5: How we were brought up.
7:07
Speaker 4: If we were brought up in a very identity centric environment,
7:11
Speaker 4: you kind of grow up to be a person that
7:12
Speaker 4: starts saying things like, as a blank, right, so I
7:16
Speaker 4: don't know. Let's say, let's say you were I don't know,
7:19
Speaker 4: you fill in the ethnicity and the religion. If I
7:22
Speaker 4: were a blank blank, Ask yourself, did you always talk
7:25
Speaker 4: like this? Did you always start your sentences? You know,
7:28
Speaker 4: Let's say my parents are from Puerto Rico, which they are,
7:30
Speaker 4: and I were to start just responding to things in life,
7:34
Speaker 4: like I got a parking ticket, you know, as a
7:36
Speaker 4: Puerto Rican or as an American of Puerto Rican descent.
7:40
Speaker 5: Neither one of those matter.
7:41
Speaker 4: In this context, right, What matters is I was a
7:43
Speaker 4: person that parked my car where I shouldn't have. And
7:46
Speaker 4: it's kind of like we forget what matters most here
7:49
Speaker 4: because we're so concerned with this identity we've built for
7:52
Speaker 4: ourselves that reality and circumstance become very secondary to the
7:57
Speaker 4: fact that we want to live in this idea. I'm
8:00
Speaker 4: not saying you should never not live in your identity
8:02
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, don't lead with it everywhere every time,
8:05
Speaker 4: if that makes sense. Imagine if we were a pilot
8:07
Speaker 4: and everything I did and I was like, well, you know,
8:08
Speaker 4: I'm a pilot, and now some of you listening might go,
8:10
Speaker 4: you know, it's exactly how I do things. Well, then
8:13
Speaker 4: let me challenge you to say, don't do that. Don't
8:16
Speaker 4: make your career you're the main source of your identity.
8:21
Speaker 4: And I know this happens to a lot of people,
8:24
Speaker 4: right because these things that we believe, and the things
8:26
Speaker 4: that we do for a living, and the things that
8:28
Speaker 4: we are all these things make up.
8:30
Speaker 5: How we view the world.
8:32
Speaker 4: But most people don't live their lives being defined by
8:35
Speaker 4: that one part of what makes up the totality of
8:38
Speaker 4: their identity. And that's the point of trying to make
8:41
Speaker 4: From my perspective, I would argue that in this world
8:45
Speaker 4: that we're in, the situation that we're in comes from.
8:47
Speaker 5: Our faith and how we view our roles in the world.
8:51
Speaker 4: For example, if you see yourself as a child of God,
8:53
Speaker 4: then this is going to alter many of the things
8:56
Speaker 4: that you see in life because you don't believe you
8:58
Speaker 4: were created by yourself, and you don't exactly know what
9:02
Speaker 4: your own plan is in life because you didn't create yourself,
9:04
Speaker 4: Whereas if you were an agnostic or an atheist or
9:07
Speaker 4: something like that, you would think that you came from
9:09
Speaker 4: the Big Bang theory or from the theory of evolution,
9:11
Speaker 4: and that you're totally in control of the rest of
9:14
Speaker 4: your life and your destiny, and your purpose is what
9:16
Speaker 4: you want it to be. If it feels good, do it.
9:18
Speaker 4: That's part of the reason we are where we are.
9:20
Speaker 4: On the other side of that coin, if you try
9:23
Speaker 4: to live your life for God, then you think, hey,
9:26
Speaker 4: I'm going to try and figure out what my plan
9:28
Speaker 4: is in life, what God's will is for my life,
9:30
Speaker 4: and seek that will and try to be informed by
9:33
Speaker 4: the Bible and other teachings in order to get to
9:35
Speaker 4: that place. But if you don't use your faith as
9:37
Speaker 4: the basis of your identity and employ a let's say,
9:40
Speaker 4: a more secular view, a godless view, then you begin
9:44
Speaker 4: to construct your purpose on your own. Right, then it
9:48
Speaker 4: becomes well, I could adhere to the Ten Commandments without
9:51
Speaker 4: having to acknowledge God. I can be a good person
9:55
Speaker 4: without being Yeah, sure, I'm sure you could do all
9:58
Speaker 4: those things. I'm not trying to get into to an
10:00
Speaker 4: overly spiritual conversation. My point is that is the game
10:04
Speaker 4: that we play. You have to choose what you stand on,
10:07
Speaker 4: because it's in that void that idealism begins to drive you,
10:11
Speaker 4: as opposed to being driven by your godly purpose or
10:15
Speaker 4: the pursuit of that godly purpose. And it's this idealism,
10:20
Speaker 4: this truth that we concoct for ourselves. It can take
10:23
Speaker 4: on many forms. For some people, it's what they do
10:25
Speaker 4: for their job, and that's the truth that they live
10:27
Speaker 4: in that becomes the totality or the majority of their identity.
10:31
Speaker 4: Some people feel, I'm going to say rudderless right throughout
10:36
Speaker 4: the young part of their life until they find a
10:38
Speaker 4: cause that they can align with. And that's why many
10:41
Speaker 4: people on the left side of our political spectrum, they
10:43
Speaker 4: find their purpose and their cause in college when they're
10:46
Speaker 4: learning about injustice or about social justice, or the philosophy
10:50
Speaker 4: that consumes most college campuses. Marxism the hallmark of Karl
10:56
Speaker 4: Marx and his communist manifesto. And I would say that's
10:58
Speaker 4: exactly where the radical isation happens for many people, especially
11:02
Speaker 4: young people. But as we saw in Minnesota recently, this
11:05
Speaker 4: woman that was killed her kids, go to a school
11:08
Speaker 4: that is radicalized, right, it's radically focused on social justice
11:13
Speaker 4: rather than on educating children. Social justice is the theme
11:17
Speaker 4: of their K through twelve school.
11:21
Speaker 5: So think about that.
11:22
Speaker 4: Kindergartens that are going to kindergarten and whatever you and
11:25
Speaker 4: me learned in kindergarten, all sorts of nice things. This
11:28
Speaker 4: is all about being an activist, about being a leftist
11:31
Speaker 4: wild but that's where we are today.
11:33
Speaker 5: So whether it was George.
11:35
Speaker 4: Carlin or the AI, George Carlin, bottom line was very wise.
11:38
Speaker 4: Advice made a lot of sense to me. It's something
11:42
Speaker 4: I think we can all learn from. I'm gonna jump
11:44
Speaker 4: into this a little bit more when I return. I'm
11:46
Speaker 4: gonna take a quick pause right here, Payson Bills, and we're.
11:48
Speaker 5: Coming right back. Don't go anywhere. I'm Richaldees.
11:51
Speaker 1: This is America, This is Amrita.
12:21
Speaker 4: All right, Ibd goes, welcome back, Thanks for sticking with me.
12:23
Speaker 4: It is Monday, and I want to talk about this stuff,
12:27
Speaker 4: this ideology, this identity, the reason people are losing it,
12:31
Speaker 4: the reason people are off their rockers in my best estimation,
12:35
Speaker 4: and I want to talk about il han Omar.
12:37
Speaker 5: Today.
12:38
Speaker 4: She said that the administration is calling for people to
12:41
Speaker 4: be killed. But before I get into that, I want
12:43
Speaker 4: to backtrack a little bit to a CBS report, CBS
12:48
Speaker 4: News report, excuse me from a couple of nights ago,
12:51
Speaker 4: where I guess they're trying to be objective and it
12:56
Speaker 4: didn't quite go that way.
12:58
Speaker 5: Watched this.
12:59
Speaker 7: Tensions are hot in Minneapolis after an ICE officer shot
13:02
Speaker 7: and killed a woman in her car yesterday. Officials identified
13:05
Speaker 7: the victims thirty seven year old Renee Good. The Trump
13:08
Speaker 7: administration says the ICE officer acted in self defense. DHS
13:13
Speaker 7: Secretary Christy Nome claims Good had been stalking agents all day.
13:17
Speaker 7: State and local leaders, however, demand Ice leave Minneapolis, arguing
13:21
Speaker 7: the federal presence leads to violence. Vice President jd Vance
13:26
Speaker 7: addressed the fatal ICE shooting at a White House press briefing.
13:29
Speaker 7: He reiterated the message from Nome, saying, the federal officer
13:32
Speaker 7: who opened fire yesterday was quote doing his job.
13:36
Speaker 6: The president here is very simple.
13:37
Speaker 3: You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal
13:40
Speaker 3: law enforcement action.
13:41
Speaker 6: That's a federal issue.
13:42
Speaker 3: That guy's protected by absolute immunity.
13:44
Speaker 6: He was doing his job.
13:47
Speaker 4: Now, before she gets back into this, I want to
13:49
Speaker 4: quick pause here Yeah, that is part of what JD.
13:51
Speaker 4: Van said, But the larger part of what he said
13:54
Speaker 4: was how this woman weaponized her vehicle to attack him.
13:56
Speaker 4: How is that whole thing being lost in this report?
14:00
Speaker 4: They claiming self defense from what you're leading out, the
14:02
Speaker 4: whole part with the car unbelievable.
14:04
Speaker 5: This flies as reporting. Go ahead.
14:06
Speaker 7: I want to bring in Rodney Harrison, a law enforcement
14:08
Speaker 7: contributor for CBS News. Rodney, thanks for joining us. So
14:12
Speaker 7: when the Vice President says the officer has quote absolute immunity,
14:16
Speaker 7: what exactly does that mean? What is the legal president
14:19
Speaker 7: for federal agents when it comes to deadly force?
14:21
Speaker 8: So pretty much the Vice President is saying that the
14:28
Speaker 8: agent cannot be prosecuted by the state. And once again,
14:32
Speaker 8: is this I'm not saying in any way with any
14:35
Speaker 8: conviction that the agent was wrong. You know, it was
14:39
Speaker 8: a judgment by the agent and it definitely should be investigated.
14:43
Speaker 8: I would like to see it be done by a
14:46
Speaker 8: state attorney. But because of the bike.
14:50
Speaker 4: Now, Rodney, why would you like to see it done
14:52
Speaker 4: by a state attorney? Because it was federal officers engaging
14:56
Speaker 4: in the enforcement of federal laws and something that is
15:00
Speaker 4: a federal issue like immigration, so yeah, might as well
15:05
Speaker 4: have the state get involved since they don't adjudicate these laws,
15:09
Speaker 4: since they don't prosecute these crimes, right, Rodney, This is
15:12
Speaker 4: my question here?
15:13
Speaker 5: Why do we bring Rodney on the show? Right? And
15:16
Speaker 5: this is a clip from CBS News, But why would we.
15:18
Speaker 4: Bring Rodney in just so he could say I think
15:20
Speaker 4: they should be prosecuted by a state official?
15:23
Speaker 5: Why? Since when does that happen?
15:25
Speaker 4: Since when do you have the FBI do something, or
15:27
Speaker 4: DHS or ICE or any other federal law enforcement and
15:31
Speaker 4: then we say, oh, well, we're going to have the
15:34
Speaker 4: local police handle this when it's a federal issue.
15:37
Speaker 5: That's my question.
15:38
Speaker 4: Now, if this were a different thing, a different situation
15:42
Speaker 4: where this guy was not in his uniform, this ICE officer,
15:46
Speaker 4: let's say, finished this shift, went back to his hotel
15:50
Speaker 4: and went to the bar, and then at the bar
15:53
Speaker 4: did something crazy. Well, then guess what he's doing that
15:56
Speaker 4: on his own time and when he's off the clock.
16:00
Speaker 4: So now he's open to prosecution. But this is an
16:04
Speaker 4: ICE officer exercising his authority as a federal law enforcement officer.
16:10
Speaker 4: Why on earth would the state be involved in that?
16:13
Speaker 4: Rodney go ahead.
16:14
Speaker 8: President's statements and saying that he's going to have this
16:17
Speaker 8: type of immunity. There will be no investigation by the state,
16:21
Speaker 8: and it will be investigated by the FBI.
16:24
Speaker 4: And now hold on a second. You know full well
16:26
Speaker 4: the state is going to be investigating all of it.
16:29
Speaker 4: They're not going anywhere, and they're going to try and
16:30
Speaker 4: bring charges and they're going to try and ruin this guy.
16:33
Speaker 4: So again, take phony and fraud, go right ahead.
16:36
Speaker 8: Because of the division that's going on in this country,
16:38
Speaker 8: because of the finger pointing, because of a lot of
16:41
Speaker 8: statements that were already made by the White House administration,
16:44
Speaker 8: I'm already I'm already predicting a biased investigation.
16:48
Speaker 4: You're predicting a biased investigation because you, sir, are the
16:51
Speaker 4: one that's biased.
16:52
Speaker 5: I mean, it doesn't get clearer than that. Go ahead.
16:55
Speaker 7: So, Rodney, we're learning more about the ice officer who
16:57
Speaker 7: opened fire yesterday. So here's some information flitting his name,
17:00
Speaker 7: his involvement in a separate incident several months ago that
17:03
Speaker 7: actually took a violent turn. So back in June, ice
17:07
Speaker 7: agents in Minneapolis attempted to arrest a man who refused
17:10
Speaker 7: to get.
17:10
Speaker 8: Out of his car.
17:12
Speaker 7: One of the officers, the same man involved in yesterday's shooting,
17:15
Speaker 7: then broke a rear window and reached inside the car
17:18
Speaker 7: to unlock the door. The driver accelerated, dragging the officer
17:23
Speaker 7: about one hundred yards. So, as you can see in
17:25
Speaker 7: this picture, the incident left the ice officer with injuries.
17:28
Speaker 7: The officer fired his taser at the driver, but was
17:31
Speaker 7: unsuccessful in stopping him. He was freed when the car
17:35
Speaker 7: knocked him out of the window. So, Rodney, what does
17:38
Speaker 7: this information tell you about the approach and experience of
17:41
Speaker 7: this ice officer? Could this play a part in the
17:43
Speaker 7: investigation into yesterday's shooting.
17:46
Speaker 8: Well, of course, a situation that's happened in such a
17:49
Speaker 8: recent pass is going to have an effect in the investigation.
17:53
Speaker 4: How is it going to infect the investigation? And will
17:57
Speaker 4: it in fact infect the investigation?
18:00
Speaker 8: Rodney, listen, I have some concerns. I have some concern
18:03
Speaker 8: about that. What are you concerned about the tactics.
18:05
Speaker 6: I have some concerns about the policies.
18:09
Speaker 4: As concerns about the policies. Right, So, he's concerned that
18:15
Speaker 4: if you point your car at a federal law enforcement
18:20
Speaker 4: officer and hit the gas. He's concerned that they might
18:25
Speaker 4: have the training and the policy in place to use
18:28
Speaker 4: deadly force, because a car is deadly force. That's what
18:31
Speaker 4: he's concerned about.
18:32
Speaker 8: You can see this as being in law enforcement is
18:35
Speaker 8: a very, very difficult and dangerous job.
18:39
Speaker 6: But the judgment that was made.
18:40
Speaker 8: By the agent regarding to use deadly physical force didn't
18:45
Speaker 8: have anything to do with the incident that he had
18:47
Speaker 8: to deal with some months in the past.
18:50
Speaker 6: Did he feel as though that his partner that was.
18:54
Speaker 5: And there it is.
18:55
Speaker 4: They're going to say that because this guy was a cop,
18:58
Speaker 4: and because he has been involved then previous arrests, and
19:01
Speaker 4: because he was trying to apprehend someone in a vehicle
19:04
Speaker 4: and that person resisted that somehow, now that is influencing it. Yes,
19:09
Speaker 4: you know what that's called. It's called experience, sir. It's
19:11
Speaker 4: called experience. When you get into a boxing ring and
19:15
Speaker 4: you don't keep your guard up and you get punched
19:17
Speaker 4: in your face, hopefully you learn to keep your hands
19:19
Speaker 4: up and you don't get punched in the face the
19:21
Speaker 4: second time. That's what it's called. Ahead, let's finish this.
19:25
Speaker 8: Trying to open the driver side door of miss Good
19:30
Speaker 8: was going to possibly be dragged as well. So there's
19:32
Speaker 8: a lot of questions that have to be asked once again.
19:35
Speaker 9: Is this.
19:37
Speaker 4: Maybe the question we need to ask is the officer
19:40
Speaker 4: says that he was ordering the person out of the
19:44
Speaker 4: vehicle and his partner had his weapon holstered until this
19:49
Speaker 4: woman pointed to her car and hit the gas and
19:52
Speaker 4: in a split second, this man had a choice to
19:56
Speaker 4: stop her and did so using lethal force. How about
20:02
Speaker 4: that question?
20:03
Speaker 8: Unfortunately turns into a situation where it's going to be
20:08
Speaker 8: a decision or a judgment call that was made by
20:12
Speaker 8: the agent and unfortunately life was lost and a family
20:17
Speaker 8: right now is morning?
20:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true.
20:20
Speaker 7: The shootings now being investigated by the FBI exclusively. So
20:23
Speaker 7: Minnesota officials say federal authorities blocked its access to evidence
20:27
Speaker 7: in the case. So is it typical for the FBI
20:29
Speaker 7: to actually take full control of an investigation like this?
20:34
Speaker 6: No? No, Usually there's a partnership.
20:37
Speaker 8: Usually there's federal investigators involved along as state and maybe
20:41
Speaker 8: even local.
20:44
Speaker 6: Investigators evolved with a case.
20:46
Speaker 4: Let me explain to you why there's no state and
20:49
Speaker 4: local involvement here?
20:51
Speaker 5: Right?
20:51
Speaker 4: Because he feels like he's onto something swift. He feels like,
20:55
Speaker 4: oh well, let me explain this is that you know
20:57
Speaker 4: why this is happening, Rodney, because all you got to
20:59
Speaker 4: do is watch the video. Watch the video, and you'll
21:04
Speaker 4: see in the video Rodney very clearly that there are
21:10
Speaker 4: no local cops there. Why because the local cops have
21:14
Speaker 4: set these guys out to dry. They said, no, we're
21:19
Speaker 4: gonna allow every protester and agitator and person that wants
21:22
Speaker 4: to harm you.
21:23
Speaker 5: We're gonna allow them near you.
21:25
Speaker 4: There will be no perimeter, there will be no local
21:27
Speaker 4: law enforcement to have your back while you're conducting enforcement
21:30
Speaker 4: operations ahead. We're gonna go ahead and do crowd control.
21:33
Speaker 4: None of that happened. Why because he got this guy
21:36
Speaker 4: named Jacob fry Fray right, Jingo himmer Schmidt shout out
21:40
Speaker 4: to him, and of course you've got Tim Wallas, Teeman
21:44
Speaker 4: Tim Walls. These guys are an absolute disgrace, not Jacob
21:50
Speaker 4: himmer Schmidt, but everybody else that I just mentioned, all
21:53
Speaker 4: of them. They're doing everything they can to keep the
21:55
Speaker 4: state and local police away instead of being on site
22:00
Speaker 4: to help realize that had they been there to help man,
22:05
Speaker 4: this lady might still be alive today. Crazy is that anyway?
22:09
Speaker 4: Ill hand Omar going to switch gears and talk to
22:11
Speaker 4: ill hand Omar ill han Omar says that the Trump
22:15
Speaker 4: administration wants everybody dead so he can invoke the Insurrection
22:21
Speaker 4: Act and have martial law. Oh man, I think she
22:23
Speaker 4: went down one of the QAnon rabbit holes.
22:25
Speaker 5: Check this out.
22:26
Speaker 10: And what this administration is looking for is for there
22:30
Speaker 10: to be deadly encounters so that they can revoke the
22:35
Speaker 10: Insurrection Act and have martial law. And it is a dangerous,
22:39
Speaker 10: dangerous escalation that they're looking for, and Minneapolis residents are
22:43
Speaker 10: not going to give them that. We're not going to
22:44
Speaker 10: take debate. People are going to be out there armed
22:47
Speaker 10: with the knowledge of what their constitutional rights are and
22:51
Speaker 10: what the limits are in them exercising it, and they
22:54
Speaker 10: are not going to give them the riots that they
22:57
Speaker 10: are looking for in the lawlessness, because we know that
23:00
Speaker 10: it is these federal agents that would be lawless and
23:03
Speaker 10: the small.
23:03
Speaker 5: Men, small man, you throw that at the end, because
23:07
Speaker 5: there's small men. Man. I'll tell you.
23:09
Speaker 4: I let ilhan ol Mar go all the way with
23:11
Speaker 4: that because I wanted you to hear all the crazy
23:13
Speaker 4: that she wanted to share. And that was quite a
23:15
Speaker 4: bit of crazy, right, really really was. I mean, you've
23:19
Speaker 4: got it's just out there. But hey, this is what
23:21
Speaker 4: happens when you have a Democrat party that's actively encouraging
23:25
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime, a Democrat party that actively embraces every
23:30
Speaker 4: last criminal, every last individual in this country that goes
23:34
Speaker 4: against what is all good and holy. Sadly, Democrats love
23:37
Speaker 4: to embrace criminals and criminality and communism. That's just where
23:42
Speaker 4: we are today. It sounds hyperbolic, but sadly it's not.
23:45
Speaker 4: We're like a ticking time bomb. Anyway, I want to continue.
23:49
Speaker 4: All right, here's Congressoman Kelly Morrissey. She says that the
23:54
Speaker 4: Trump administration wants to create a secret police force with Ice.
23:59
Speaker 4: ICE is going to be i'm secret police that has
24:01
Speaker 4: no accountability. And I say to myself, wow, secret police.
24:05
Speaker 4: These guys get more attention than anybody. They're out there
24:08
Speaker 4: during the day, all day, every day. What's so secret
24:10
Speaker 4: about Ice?
24:11
Speaker 5: Listen to this, and we.
24:12
Speaker 11: Are seeing indiscriminate takings of people by this masked secret
24:18
Speaker 11: police that is Ice. They are wanting to create this
24:21
Speaker 11: secret police force that has no accountability and no transparency.
24:26
Speaker 11: And I think the American public needs to ask itself,
24:30
Speaker 11: is this the country that we want to live in?
24:32
Speaker 11: We are a country of laws and It's what has
24:35
Speaker 11: distinguished us from the rest of the world. And I
24:38
Speaker 11: think most Americans want to live in a country that
24:41
Speaker 11: follows the rule of law and the constitution.
24:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, most people do want that. The problem is you
24:46
Speaker 4: saying that they're a secret police force doesn't help. It'sech
24:49
Speaker 4: Illhanomer is saying Trump wants everybody dead so we can
24:51
Speaker 4: have martial law. This is crazy talk, absolute crazy talk. Anyway,
24:55
Speaker 4: Christy nom set the record straight to put a pin
24:57
Speaker 4: in this topic and move on, and he couldn't have
25:00
Speaker 4: been more clear or more correct.
25:02
Speaker 5: Listen to this.
25:02
Speaker 2: My position is I wasn't there. I didn't see it.
25:06
Speaker 2: Some people say that it clearly showed that she was
25:09
Speaker 2: trying to hit him and did. Some people say no,
25:13
Speaker 2: she was clearly trying to move her car and flee
25:15
Speaker 2: and get away. I don't know. What I'm saying is
25:18
Speaker 2: how do you know? How can you assert for a
25:20
Speaker 2: fact within hours before any investigation, this is what happened.
25:25
Speaker 12: The facts of the situation are that the vehicle was
25:28
Speaker 12: weaponized and it attacked the law enforcement officer. He defended
25:32
Speaker 12: himself and he defended those individuals around him. That is
25:36
Speaker 12: the definition when there is something that is weaponized to
25:39
Speaker 12: use against the public and law enforcement. That is an
25:42
Speaker 12: act of domestic terrorism. Happened in our shores. It happened
25:45
Speaker 12: here in our country. You don't get to change the
25:47
Speaker 12: facts just because you don't like them. We will continue
25:50
Speaker 12: to look at this individual and what her motivations were.
25:54
Speaker 12: We know that there was throughout that morning she had
25:56
Speaker 12: harassed and impeded law enforcement operations. This is the suspicion
26:00
Speaker 12: level with all of these law enforcement officers as far
26:03
Speaker 12: as paying attention to what her capacity is and as
26:06
Speaker 12: you see on the videos, and they've proven out that
26:08
Speaker 12: this law enforcement officer took the action that his training
26:11
Speaker 12: prepared him for and he worked to make sure that
26:14
Speaker 12: he could save his own life and those around him.
26:17
Speaker 4: That's Christy nom setting the record straight and straight ahead.
26:20
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you about that CBS newscut
26:22
Speaker 4: we just heard, Well, there's other people that are taking
26:25
Speaker 4: shots at CBS News.
26:27
Speaker 5: Nikki Glazer, she's a comedian.
26:29
Speaker 4: And she had some jokes at the Golden Globe Awards
26:32
Speaker 4: last night. I want you to check this out when
26:35
Speaker 4: we return. Don't go anywhere.
26:37
Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
26:46
Speaker 4: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
26:50
Speaker 4: to speak with Rich Valdez.
26:52
Speaker 1: Oh, very good.
26:57
Speaker 4: The honor is all yours, conservative talk with a dash
27:02
Speaker 4: of sofrito.
27:03
Speaker 5: Now here's Rich Valdez, all.
27:07
Speaker 4: Right, and he goes, welcome back, And as promised, I
27:09
Speaker 4: want to get into this comedy routine by Nicki Glazer
27:14
Speaker 4: doing some stand up as she was hosting the Golden
27:16
Speaker 4: Globe Awards, and I gotta tell you, I laughed at
27:18
Speaker 4: least at half the joke. I thought it was pretty
27:20
Speaker 4: humorous and it was fun to watch something like that
27:24
Speaker 4: go down.
27:25
Speaker 5: Well, you listen, you tell me.
27:26
Speaker 13: The Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to the Justice Department, Yes, congratulations,
27:37
Speaker 13: And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes,
27:44
Speaker 13: CBS News America's newest place to see. BS News. We
27:53
Speaker 13: needed another.
27:59
Speaker 4: Nicki Glazer is an equal opportunity hater and good for her.
28:02
Speaker 5: Listen.
28:02
Speaker 4: I think, if you're gonna make jokes, you gotta make
28:04
Speaker 4: jokes on both sides. And that was pretty funny to me, right,
28:06
Speaker 4: CBS News. I thought that was very clever. And of
28:09
Speaker 4: course the attack on the DOJ you know, tongue in cheek,
28:15
Speaker 4: I didn't like it, but I get it right. She's
28:18
Speaker 4: planned to the entire country, and that is what comedy
28:20
Speaker 4: is all about. You make fun of everybody, miss everybody
28:23
Speaker 4: in the crowd. It's always been that way. Somehow we
28:27
Speaker 4: went off the deep end and only made jokes on
28:29
Speaker 4: one side A La Colbert Alla Jimmy Kimmel, and I'll
28:33
Speaker 4: have the other guy, the other Jimmy that's not as
28:34
Speaker 4: bad all the time, but likely just as bad right
28:38
Speaker 4: behind closed doors, but at least professionally he doesn't put
28:40
Speaker 4: his Trump hatred out there too much. Anyway, I wanted
28:46
Speaker 4: to get into this story that I was talking about earlier,
28:50
Speaker 4: and it had to do with what we've been talking about.
28:55
Speaker 4: Free speech, right, Nicki Glazer her free speech? All this
28:57
Speaker 4: is free speech. In my opinion, I tend to be
28:59
Speaker 4: by towards free speech. Why because I think free speech
29:02
Speaker 4: is so important and it's literally what I do for
29:05
Speaker 4: a living, and it's also what we all need and have.
29:09
Speaker 4: It's the protections that we have, and little things in
29:13
Speaker 4: life bring to my attention how important it is. For example,
29:18
Speaker 4: I mentioned the other day that I was I was home.
29:21
Speaker 4: A friend of mine calls me and he says, hey,
29:24
Speaker 4: a mutual buddy of ours created a bar in his house,
29:28
Speaker 4: a beautiful bar.
29:29
Speaker 5: He made it out of oak and whatnot.
29:31
Speaker 4: And I think I was talking about this before and
29:34
Speaker 4: we go there, and you know, we get into lots
29:38
Speaker 4: of different conversation guy stuff, blah blah blah. It's very
29:41
Speaker 4: chill until it gets a little heated. And normally I
29:43
Speaker 4: don't even take the bait. You know, my attitude of
29:46
Speaker 4: talking about politics when I'm outside of a radio.
29:48
Speaker 5: Studio or a TV studio is I typically don't do it. Right.
29:51
Speaker 4: If you're not paying me, I'm not doing it. That's
29:53
Speaker 4: typically the attitude I have. I just smile, I not
29:56
Speaker 4: I go yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I really don't want
29:58
Speaker 4: to engage because I have an on and off switch. However,
30:03
Speaker 4: that day it hit a personal note for me because
30:06
Speaker 4: they were talking about how cops shouldn't have the right
30:08
Speaker 4: to kill people, and I just thought that was insane, right,
30:11
Speaker 4: because it's not that cops have the right to kill people.
30:14
Speaker 4: But if you want to phrase it that way, I'll
30:16
Speaker 4: play your game. It's cops have the right to meet
30:20
Speaker 4: you with deadly force. If they think you're gonna kill me,
30:23
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kill you first. And that's exactly why we
30:27
Speaker 4: need cops unless we could do it for ourselves. All right,
30:32
Speaker 4: we get rid of the police and arm everybody. Let
30:34
Speaker 4: me carry two and three guns, then we're good right now.
30:38
Speaker 4: Obviously people don't like that idea. They trust the cops
30:41
Speaker 4: more than they trust me with a gun. Okay, so
30:45
Speaker 4: we'll play your game. And I was trying to explain
30:50
Speaker 4: why this was, from my view, a justified shooting, because
30:58
Speaker 4: clearly the car hit it's the guy in that third
31:01
Speaker 4: video that was released. In the first two, it looks
31:03
Speaker 4: like she's going to hit him. In the third video,
31:05
Speaker 4: you hear the thump. You know the guy, he gets
31:07
Speaker 4: like he gets hit hard. But needless to say, the
31:13
Speaker 4: standard is if the engine is revving and it's coming
31:16
Speaker 4: at you, you don't have time to sit there and go.
31:19
Speaker 4: Let me see what's the best way to Let me
31:21
Speaker 4: see if I could shoot him in the pinky. Let
31:23
Speaker 4: me see if I could take out a kneecap. Let
31:25
Speaker 4: me see if I can shoot the tires. This guy's
31:27
Speaker 4: at the bumper of the car, twelve inches away from
31:32
Speaker 4: being under it. There's limited options here, right, And I
31:38
Speaker 4: understand most people.
31:39
Speaker 5: Have never been in those situations.
31:41
Speaker 4: I clearly have never been in a situation like that,
31:43
Speaker 4: despite having some training in the use of force at
31:45
Speaker 4: the Essex County College Police Academy. I did some volunteer
31:50
Speaker 4: police work back in the days where I learned this stuff.
31:53
Speaker 4: But I understand I can put myself into the shoes
31:57
Speaker 4: of an officer because I have brothers that were cops,
31:59
Speaker 4: and I know what it's like. One of my brothers
32:03
Speaker 4: was accosted, he was attacked, he was ambushed, they put
32:05
Speaker 4: guns to his head, and it was his training that
32:08
Speaker 4: kicked in immediately shooting two people, two men. It's the
32:12
Speaker 4: reason he's still around today. So I get this from
32:16
Speaker 4: a different perspective. And when I tried to explain to
32:20
Speaker 4: them first that if the car's coming at you, that's
32:25
Speaker 4: a legitimate reason for him to open fire, two of
32:30
Speaker 4: the three guys that I was there with it was
32:32
Speaker 4: four of us in total, look at me and they're like, yeah, no,
32:35
Speaker 4: that's just nobody should lose their life. And I said,
32:39
Speaker 4: do you realize in saying that, you're saying that the
32:41
Speaker 4: police officer inherently should lose his that there is a
32:46
Speaker 4: default that the cop should die. So that you don't
32:50
Speaker 4: get shot, because that's in effect what you're suggesting, wait
32:54
Speaker 4: till you run over. Maybe you live, maybe you don't.
32:56
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, come on, I wasn't gonna wait. Maybe
32:58
Speaker 4: she was going to break his leg, maybe he's going
32:59
Speaker 4: to break a head. He wasn't gonna die. She's dead.
33:02
Speaker 4: This was the negotiating that was going on with these guys.
33:05
Speaker 4: So clearly the bias was against the police. And I
33:09
Speaker 4: understand that I clearly have a bias for the police
33:14
Speaker 4: because of having family members that were in law enforcement
33:17
Speaker 4: and having you know, volunteered for a couple of years
33:20
Speaker 4: myself in law enforcement. So I get that, and I
33:23
Speaker 4: take it into consideration. And perhaps I don't wait it
33:26
Speaker 4: as heavily as I should, but I do consider it.
33:30
Speaker 4: And the guy who was hosting the place, very nice guy,
33:34
Speaker 4: super guy. He says, you know, that's why I have
33:37
Speaker 4: a rule here. We don't talk about politics and we
33:40
Speaker 4: don't talk about religion. And you know, normally I live
33:45
Speaker 4: by that rule. If you know, in my own life,
33:48
Speaker 4: I don't go looking for those conversations, but I'm not
33:51
Speaker 4: afraid to have them, and I love to have them,
33:53
Speaker 4: but I'm not necessarily looking to have them. But on
33:55
Speaker 4: the other side of that coin, if you tell me
33:58
Speaker 4: I can't have them, Well, now I feel like incled right,
34:01
Speaker 4: I'm a guy that talks about politics and culture sometimes
34:04
Speaker 4: religion on TV and radio. It's not all of what
34:08
Speaker 4: I do, but it's a part of what I do.
34:10
Speaker 4: I don't define myself by this. Right, I'm hoping that
34:13
Speaker 4: people don't invite me to their family barbecue because I
34:16
Speaker 4: me invite Richie because they'll talk about politics. No, that's
34:19
Speaker 4: not the case, and I'm intentional about that when I
34:22
Speaker 4: go places, to make sure I don't do that, so
34:24
Speaker 4: that I'm not invited to be your entertainment, your built
34:27
Speaker 4: in live talk radio show. I don't want to do that,
34:31
Speaker 4: but on occasion it happens, mainly in my own family
34:33
Speaker 4: gatherings where my brothers really you know, want to engage
34:36
Speaker 4: in that. But all that aside, I thought to myself,
34:40
Speaker 4: let me analyze this anthropologically, right. And I'm not much
34:43
Speaker 4: of an anthropologist, and I rarely use anthropological analyzes. I
34:47
Speaker 4: typically revert to cultural, religious historical analyzes. But I used
34:54
Speaker 4: the anthropological one here. Why Because looking at things culturally,
34:58
Speaker 4: I realized I was with two Cuban guys and a
35:00
Speaker 4: Colombian guy. One was born in Colombia on the coast.
35:04
Speaker 4: Two were born in Cuba. And I thought to myself,
35:08
Speaker 4: these guys are a handful of years older than me,
35:11
Speaker 4: three four years older than me. They didn't grow up
35:16
Speaker 4: in the same Cuba that many of the Cubans that
35:19
Speaker 4: I grew up with their parents had grown up in.
35:24
Speaker 4: For them, the sting of communism was immediate. They had
35:28
Speaker 4: a good life in Cuba as a child and saw
35:31
Speaker 4: their parents' lives drastically changed. They saw their parents leave
35:38
Speaker 4: and they followed suit. Those that were born in Cuba,
35:40
Speaker 4: many of them were born in the United States to
35:43
Speaker 4: parents that fled Cuba and can only tell them how
35:45
Speaker 4: bad it was there and how great it was here.
35:48
Speaker 4: And these people almost religiously vote Republican. They're very conservative.
35:52
Speaker 4: They all send their kids to Catholic school. It's like, Hey,
35:56
Speaker 4: this is how we're going to fight back. We're going
35:58
Speaker 4: to open a business. We're going to become wealthy. Right,
36:00
Speaker 4: you wanted us to be poor, We're gonna become wealthy.
36:02
Speaker 4: And that was the going trend when I was growing up.
36:06
Speaker 4: There were many a wealthy Cuban in the area I
36:09
Speaker 4: lived in, but these guys had grown up under communism,
36:14
Speaker 4: not when it started and during the revolution, or had
36:17
Speaker 4: parents know they this was their system. They grew up
36:20
Speaker 4: there and knew that there was a better way somewhere
36:22
Speaker 4: else and wanted to get out. But that's the Cuba.
36:25
Speaker 4: They know, the Cuba where the food is ration, the
36:27
Speaker 4: Cuba where there's thirteen hours a day of electricity if
36:31
Speaker 4: you're lucky, right, So you learn to live life differently.
36:35
Speaker 4: And this is why I like hanging out with the Cubans,
36:37
Speaker 4: because they find the humor, the goodness in everything because
36:42
Speaker 4: life was so difficult for them.
36:44
Speaker 5: You're gonna laugh.
36:45
Speaker 4: You hang out with a couple of Cubans that were
36:46
Speaker 4: born in Cuba, You're gonna laugh, You're gonna dance, You're
36:48
Speaker 4: gonna have a good time. Because these guys are used
36:51
Speaker 4: to numbing the pain. They're used to getting away and
36:54
Speaker 4: trying to forget the realities of their life, of how
36:57
Speaker 4: difficult life is in those circumstances. But they're also used
37:02
Speaker 4: to growing up under the authoritarian hand of the government.
37:05
Speaker 4: So I started to understand their anti police bias because
37:08
Speaker 4: the police was never their friend. It was never somebody
37:10
Speaker 4: that was helping them. It was always somebody that was
37:13
Speaker 4: ratting them out or trying to take a bribe or
37:16
Speaker 4: doing the wrong thing to them on behalf of the regime.
37:21
Speaker 4: So they associate that authoritarian control with the authoritarian control
37:25
Speaker 4: that they grew up with, and they perceive it as
37:28
Speaker 4: authoritarian control rather than just really the authority that comes
37:33
Speaker 4: with being a law enforcement officer. And I started to
37:37
Speaker 4: understand that, and as he was saying, yep, he kept
37:40
Speaker 4: going on, never talk about politics or religion. Look how
37:42
Speaker 4: people get because I got pretty heated. I didn't get
37:45
Speaker 4: heated over the politics or the religion. I got heated
37:48
Speaker 4: because we were supposed to be having a conversation and
37:51
Speaker 4: I was being ignored and then he was talking over me.
37:54
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to get into an argument like
37:56
Speaker 4: that right now. This was a friend of mine, so
37:58
Speaker 4: I didn't expect that from him. So I was like, bro, WTF,
38:04
Speaker 4: how are you gonna sit here and say we're having
38:05
Speaker 4: a debate about something and then you're gonna just talk
38:07
Speaker 4: over me, not even listen to the points I'm making.
38:09
Speaker 4: I'm putting a video in your face to show you something,
38:11
Speaker 4: and you're looking the other way and you just keep talking. Now,
38:14
Speaker 4: granted they had invited their good friend. What's served a
38:19
Speaker 4: good friend's name, Johnny Walker? Right, Johnny Walker was present,
38:23
Speaker 4: So I'm sure that contributes to some of it.
38:26
Speaker 5: But boys will be boys. I get that.
38:29
Speaker 4: But I keep going back to that's why we don't
38:32
Speaker 4: talk about politics and religion, and that always bothers me. Right,
38:35
Speaker 4: And I said, I conduct myself that way. I don't
38:37
Speaker 4: necessarily go out there preaching the gospel, although I think
38:40
Speaker 4: my faith calls me to and it does to all
38:42
Speaker 4: of us, But there's ways of doing that without me
38:45
Speaker 4: pulling you to the side. And literally, I can show
38:47
Speaker 4: you the gospel in my life, right, I can show
38:49
Speaker 4: you the love of Jesus.
38:50
Speaker 5: I don't need to necessarily preach it to you.
38:53
Speaker 4: And I feel like this is how I've conducted myself
38:55
Speaker 4: most of my life. When people ask me for prayers
38:57
Speaker 4: because they're like, hey, man, I know you talk about
38:59
Speaker 4: church and I know you're a faithful guy, and can
39:02
Speaker 4: you pray for me or something like that, all right,
39:04
Speaker 4: it's never because I'm trying to push my ideas onto you.
39:08
Speaker 4: I'm hoping that you see the light shining and you're
39:10
Speaker 4: looking for that light, just like I was. But anyway,
39:14
Speaker 4: I realized here that that's how they grew up. There
39:18
Speaker 4: was no freedom of speech, there was no religion. I
39:21
Speaker 4: once asked my buddy Ruben, the Cuban. I said, hey,
39:26
Speaker 4: do they celebrate Christmas in Cuba the same way they
39:29
Speaker 4: celebrate it in Puerto Rico? And in Puerto Rico's I've
39:33
Speaker 4: told you many times. You know that people go out
39:34
Speaker 4: in the streets and they drink their festive holiday drinks,
39:37
Speaker 4: and everybody's, you know, feeling a little tipsy, dancing in
39:40
Speaker 4: the streets singing Christmas carols, what they call baranda. They
39:44
Speaker 4: do through Yeah, right, it's a door to door marching.
39:46
Speaker 4: Sometimes there's a car caravan. Beautiful tradition. And he said,
39:50
Speaker 4: he looked at me in all serious and he said,
39:54
Speaker 4: and como in Cuba, there's no Christmas. And it blew
39:59
Speaker 4: me away that they don't celebrate Christmas in Cuba. Now,
40:02
Speaker 4: it may happen low key, underground in the homes of
40:05
Speaker 4: some some not many, but it's not allowed. It's not
40:10
Speaker 4: a thing. There's one sanctioned Catholic church in Cuba.
40:14
Speaker 5: One.
40:16
Speaker 4: Now, this is a thing that you know, one diocese.
40:20
Speaker 4: And I thought to myself, this is serious.
40:23
Speaker 5: Right.
40:24
Speaker 4: This is similar to China, right where it was many
40:26
Speaker 4: for many years illegal to have a church. I know
40:28
Speaker 4: guys that are Christian missionaries that have gone to China
40:32
Speaker 4: having to smuggle in bibles, and then when they brought
40:36
Speaker 4: them to wherever they were arriving, the people would begin
40:39
Speaker 4: to systemically or systematically tear out the pages of the Bible.
40:46
Speaker 4: And they had a system where they would like, all right,
40:48
Speaker 4: you read Genesis one one through one ten, and then
40:51
Speaker 4: we'll switch sheets, and then you'll do Genesis two through
40:54
Speaker 4: you know, one through five. And this is how they
40:57
Speaker 4: operated their underground church. And that blew me away, and
41:00
Speaker 4: I thought, man, I have I don't know, at least
41:02
Speaker 4: half a dozen Bibles right now in my house, five
41:05
Speaker 4: or six or let's say four or five of which
41:07
Speaker 4: I probably haven't read ever, and I use the same
41:10
Speaker 4: one or two all the time. And I thought, man,
41:14
Speaker 4: imagine what life is like where you have to secretly
41:17
Speaker 4: convene in an underground church and the only word of
41:21
Speaker 4: God you can get is from a smuggled Bible and
41:25
Speaker 4: you only get one sheet of this bible one page. Wow,
41:32
Speaker 4: that's wild, right. So I put all of that into
41:36
Speaker 4: perspective and realized these guys are obviously they're not my enemy.
41:40
Speaker 4: They just grew up in a different culture in a
41:43
Speaker 4: different way where they feel it's safe, and where they
41:46
Speaker 4: were taught it was reinforced. We don't talk about politics
41:50
Speaker 4: or religion. Why because the regime might get you if
41:53
Speaker 4: you talk about politics and religion, that can get you
41:55
Speaker 4: in trouble in a communist country. And that is the
41:58
Speaker 4: same reason, or I should say, the same philosophy for
42:03
Speaker 4: different reasons quote unquote.
42:05
Speaker 5: That we use in the United States.
42:06
Speaker 4: People always say, look, you know politics religion, that never
42:09
Speaker 4: talk about that? Why, I think you could talk about
42:13
Speaker 4: absolutely anything as long as you're respectful. Charlie Kirk did it.
42:18
Speaker 4: He's like the playbook for it, right, and he's the blueprint.
42:21
Speaker 4: I think people should watch hours and hours and hours
42:23
Speaker 4: of Charlie Kirk doing just that, talking about politics and
42:26
Speaker 4: religion respectfully. Even when it got edgy, he was always respectful.
42:30
Speaker 4: I think he always did it in a loving way.
42:32
Speaker 4: So anyway, you know, to bring a long story short,
42:35
Speaker 4: of course, you know, we tempers cooled and we switched gears,
42:40
Speaker 4: and of course they always ended up back at politics,
42:42
Speaker 4: and not because I brought it there because they brought
42:43
Speaker 4: it there because inevitably, people love to talk about politics
42:48
Speaker 4: and religion, and that is why in our country we
42:52
Speaker 4: have the First and Second Amendment. And it comes as
42:55
Speaker 4: no surprise to me that the first Amendment is the
42:57
Speaker 4: one that lets you talk about politics and religion, and
43:01
Speaker 4: then the second Amendment is the one that allows you
43:03
Speaker 4: to defend yourself. And when you don't grow up in
43:07
Speaker 4: a country that supports those things as their first and
43:09
Speaker 4: second most important amendments, how can I expect you to
43:16
Speaker 4: view things the way I do unless you've read them,
43:19
Speaker 4: learned them, understood them, understand the history and the context
43:23
Speaker 4: of it. So I get that, you know, because that's
43:27
Speaker 4: where the conversation went.
43:28
Speaker 5: Next.
43:28
Speaker 4: It went to guns, and I heard both of them
43:31
Speaker 4: say once that I've never even held a gun. In
43:33
Speaker 4: other ones met either never held a gun, never shot
43:35
Speaker 4: a gun, And I thought, wow, interesting, right.
43:38
Speaker 5: Just fascinating.
43:39
Speaker 4: But again, wasn't that fascinating when I realized these guys
43:42
Speaker 4: were in Cuba into their twenties, a country where you
43:46
Speaker 4: would you'd be in big trouble if you had a gun,
43:48
Speaker 4: you could take on the regime. So it makes sense
43:51
Speaker 4: that they would come here and continue that custom. But
43:53
Speaker 4: then I said, how come the Cubans from Union City
43:56
Speaker 4: all have guns. It's because they were from a generation
43:58
Speaker 4: prior you still could do those things, and they have
44:03
Speaker 4: an extra generation of assimilation in understanding American ways, where
44:08
Speaker 4: you know, you don't have to like guns, but you
44:10
Speaker 4: have to understand that we were once a colony of
44:13
Speaker 4: the British, and if we don't want to be become
44:15
Speaker 4: a colony of someone else, then it's a good idea
44:18
Speaker 4: that you have some guns to protect you from the government,
44:21
Speaker 4: so you can talk about your politics, so you can
44:23
Speaker 4: talk about your religion, and everybody stays respectful.
44:27
Speaker 5: All right.
44:28
Speaker 4: Anyway, I'm falling asleep over here, or I'm putting you
44:30
Speaker 4: to sleep one or the other. Keep it lock right here.
44:32
Speaker 4: We're gonna come back. We're gonna wrap this thing up.
44:33
Speaker 4: I'm richeld does.
44:35
Speaker 1: This is America? This is America? Bara or primal norodos Bara?
44:49
Speaker 1: Richveld is e s nous America? Awara?
45:00
Speaker 5: Right, I he goes.
45:00
Speaker 4: Welcome back. Rich Valid's keeping your company here. You know,
45:04
Speaker 4: I'm on the late shift. It's night talk, the night show.
45:07
Speaker 4: I don't know coming up all sorts of names over here. Anyway,
45:10
Speaker 4: I want to get into some of Venezuela again. And
45:13
Speaker 4: I know I've been harping on about this, but there's
45:14
Speaker 4: just so much good stuff out there that it's tough
45:18
Speaker 4: for me to ignore, right, It's tough for me to
45:21
Speaker 4: not want you to hear this stuff, because man, I
45:24
Speaker 4: just think it's so good, right, so much good stuff.
45:27
Speaker 4: Whether it's that Ai George Carlin that we played before, right,
45:31
Speaker 4: and I don't know if it's Ai, but you know,
45:33
Speaker 4: he's been gone for so long and I hadn't heard
45:34
Speaker 4: that clip, so you got to wonder.
45:36
Speaker 5: Put the caveat out there just in case.
45:39
Speaker 4: But there is so many good things out here, really,
45:43
Speaker 4: so many good clips. And my angle on this stuff,
45:46
Speaker 4: as you know, is I like to do a little
45:48
Speaker 4: bit of news and analysis might take on the news,
45:51
Speaker 4: but I'd much rather go deeper right into the how
45:54
Speaker 4: we can use our philosophical underpinnings to interpret and provide
46:00
Speaker 4: our judgment on the news of the day, these cultural
46:04
Speaker 4: topics and whatnot, because ultimately, you've got to make a
46:07
Speaker 4: choice on absolutely everything, right, I mean, there isn't a
46:11
Speaker 4: thing out there that that we can't not right, double negative,
46:19
Speaker 4: We must analyze everything through whatever lens it is that
46:23
Speaker 4: we possess in order to process, right, And again, these
46:28
Speaker 4: lenses vary. It could be my lens is professional sports, right,
46:32
Speaker 4: That's what I like, that's what I enjoy, So I'm
46:35
Speaker 4: going to analyze everything through the lens of professional sports.
46:38
Speaker 4: I happen to be that one geek that likes to
46:40
Speaker 4: do things culturally historically, you know, through the lens of
46:44
Speaker 4: you know, my biblical worldview. And I don't want to
46:46
Speaker 4: put myself out there as a holy roller. What did
46:49
Speaker 4: Paul say?
46:50
Speaker 5: I Paul.
46:52
Speaker 4: Centner greatest amongst them or something to that effect. I'm
46:55
Speaker 4: in that boat, right, But you got to stand for something, right,
46:59
Speaker 4: And that's what I've chosen to stand on because I
47:01
Speaker 4: think it's unshakable ground and I am the shakable ground.
47:05
Speaker 5: Right.
47:05
Speaker 4: I'm the one that's fallible. The word is infallible, and
47:07
Speaker 4: that's why I choose that. But ultimately, we've got to
47:11
Speaker 4: look at things different ways. And I can't tell you
47:14
Speaker 4: what it's like to live as e Venezuelan, right, but
47:18
Speaker 4: a Venezuelan can tell you a real good what it's
47:22
Speaker 4: like to live as a Venezuelan. And there's this one
47:26
Speaker 4: clip here This woman speaks in English, and I happen
47:28
Speaker 4: to have a thing for Hispanic women and accents.
47:31
Speaker 5: I think she has a great accent.
47:33
Speaker 4: And I want you to hear what she says because
47:36
Speaker 4: it's very powerful and it impactful in my opinion. You know,
47:41
Speaker 4: it's very genuine. Sometimes the people that give you the best,
47:47
Speaker 4: the best take on something are those that know it
47:50
Speaker 4: most intimately.
47:51
Speaker 5: That's usually often always the case.
47:54
Speaker 4: But in this case, some might think that the expert
47:57
Speaker 4: here is somebody who's a professor of politics or anthropology,
48:02
Speaker 4: or culture or political science on the region, maybe even
48:07
Speaker 4: from the region. But I would submit there is just
48:10
Speaker 4: as much expertise coming from someone who's lived that life.
48:16
Speaker 5: Right.
48:17
Speaker 4: I can only tell you what I've learned about life
48:21
Speaker 4: in socialism and communism in Venezuela. This lady's about to
48:26
Speaker 4: tell you all about it from a firsthand experience.
48:29
Speaker 5: Check this out.
48:30
Speaker 14: An American that hasn't leave that terror of socialism will
48:36
Speaker 14: never understand what is going on right now. I don't
48:38
Speaker 14: care if you have a master degree in whatever. Unless
48:43
Speaker 14: you leave it in your own skin, you won't ever
48:46
Speaker 14: understand it. And I think is terribly disrespectful for anybody
48:52
Speaker 14: to tell of Venezuela. How we should react to that,
48:54
Speaker 14: I think is terrible, disrespectful to the people that have died,
48:58
Speaker 14: saying that madudash and be where he is. And I
49:01
Speaker 14: left my country with just the clothes I was wearing
49:04
Speaker 14: and a little bit of diapers and milk that I
49:07
Speaker 14: had left.
49:09
Speaker 9: Don't you dare telling me that this is not a
49:12
Speaker 9: reason for celebration. When I first come into the United States,
49:19
Speaker 9: I cry and had to turn around to my husband
49:22
Speaker 9: and ask him to please help me to open the
49:24
Speaker 9: shower because I didn't even know how to open the shower.
49:30
Speaker 9: When I walk into Oburning, I saw so many options
49:33
Speaker 9: to it. I couldn't believe myself. Our reality is different.
49:41
Speaker 9: We want to leave, and you guys have everything in
49:45
Speaker 9: this country, more than you could ever imagine.
49:50
Speaker 6: And I just wish that you.
49:52
Speaker 9: Could love it a little bity more and respect it
49:55
Speaker 9: a little bity more, because if I had to give
49:58
Speaker 9: my life for America, I would.
50:02
Speaker 4: How about that? How about that? I'm a sucker for
50:07
Speaker 4: those tears. They seem incredibly genuine. She seems incredibly heartfelt.
50:13
Speaker 4: And I don't think any lies were told here, right,
50:15
Speaker 4: No lies detected?
50:16
Speaker 5: This lady is the real deal.
50:18
Speaker 4: She's telling you exactly how it goes, and this is
50:21
Speaker 4: this is someone again had that first hand experience right
50:28
Speaker 4: likely felt what it was like to be able to
50:31
Speaker 4: go get food and then saw a supermarket run by
50:34
Speaker 4: the government where you couldn't get food. When you see
50:38
Speaker 4: that type of shift, you can't help but be heartbroken.
50:43
Speaker 4: If you grow up in a country that's already broken,
50:47
Speaker 4: then you come to this country and have a new appreciation.
50:51
Speaker 4: But you can never have the appreciation of your country
50:53
Speaker 4: when it flourished but for the history, because you didn't
50:56
Speaker 4: see it for yourself, Like she said, you have to
50:58
Speaker 4: live it in your own skis in. I thought that
51:01
Speaker 4: was so well put, so eloquent, really really powerful statement
51:05
Speaker 4: from this woman, and I appreciate that. And it's funny
51:09
Speaker 4: how you've got so many real Democrats. I haven't seen
51:12
Speaker 4: any Republicans out there doing this, but really mainly Democrats.
51:15
Speaker 4: And you know, for all the Democrats that are offended
51:17
Speaker 4: by this, maybe you should check your friends, right, the
51:20
Speaker 4: most radical amongst you, but tell them to stop with
51:25
Speaker 4: this craziness.
51:26
Speaker 5: And again they're free to do it.
51:28
Speaker 4: But I'm seeing video after video after video on at
51:32
Speaker 4: least on social media where you've got people going to
51:35
Speaker 4: protest and there's always a counter protester that is a Venezuelan,
51:39
Speaker 4: you know, an accent just like hers, going, Hey, which
51:42
Speaker 4: one of you guys is Venezuelan, Which one of you
51:45
Speaker 4: guys speak Spanish?
51:46
Speaker 5: And none of them can, and none of them do,
51:48
Speaker 5: and none of them are.
51:49
Speaker 4: There are a bunch of people that were holding Palestinian
51:52
Speaker 4: flags last month and Ukrainian flags the month before that,
51:57
Speaker 4: and they're looking for the next cause, next injustice, so
52:01
Speaker 4: they can be a social justice warrior, the next person
52:05
Speaker 4: that can go ahead and you know, exploit the latest cause,
52:10
Speaker 4: the latest grievance. And just like they've done with African
52:14
Speaker 4: Americans and that whole grievance culture, we're now doing it
52:18
Speaker 4: amongst the whites. And I've mentioned this in the past,
52:21
Speaker 4: and maybe one of these days I'll do like a
52:22
Speaker 4: whole show. I just don't know how often you guys
52:25
Speaker 4: want to hear me do deep dives on stuff like
52:27
Speaker 4: this that have nothing to do with current events but
52:30
Speaker 4: really have to do with history. But I'm geeky like that,
52:33
Speaker 4: and I love that stuff. And a couple of years
52:34
Speaker 4: back and it's on this podcast feed if you look
52:38
Speaker 4: for I just can't tell you the episode number or
52:40
Speaker 4: the name of the show. And it was before we
52:42
Speaker 4: had transcription in podcasts. It was about the term white guilt.
52:47
Speaker 4: What they used prior to that. And when I say they,
52:50
Speaker 4: I mean the Marxists. They used a term called exploiting
52:54
Speaker 4: the national majority and the national minority right. They did both.
52:59
Speaker 4: So it was fascinating. Every now and again, I will
53:01
Speaker 4: go to two different websites. One is called Marxist dot
53:05
Speaker 4: org and the other one is called Marxists dot org,
53:09
Speaker 4: and both of them have writings from professors like Mamdani's
53:14
Speaker 4: dad and others that or Pete Buddha Judge's dad. These
53:18
Speaker 4: guys are all big communist professors that or even Jamie
53:23
Speaker 4: Raskin's dad, Marcus Raskin. All of these guys were are
53:27
Speaker 4: big think tank PhD level communist lovers. And these guys
53:34
Speaker 4: are the Marxists of today. And I remember reading an
53:39
Speaker 4: article and it was written I believe around the time
53:41
Speaker 4: I was born, and then it was reprinted in like
53:45
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty six, so it was written
53:48
Speaker 4: in the late seventies and then republished again in the
53:52
Speaker 4: mid eighties, and it talked about using the white I
53:58
Speaker 4: mean the national minority, which at the time were African Americans,
54:02
Speaker 4: the largest national minority today it's Hispanics, but back then
54:06
Speaker 4: it was African Americans. And it said utilizing and organizing
54:11
Speaker 4: structure within organized labor. The job of the Socialist Party
54:17
Speaker 4: of America was to infiltrate, to get in, to ingratiate
54:22
Speaker 4: themselves with the labor union, to gain positions of prominence
54:28
Speaker 4: to promote their social agenda. And in doing so they
54:32
Speaker 4: had to invite and position individuals from the national minority.
54:40
Speaker 4: And it was very clear that they wanted to give
54:43
Speaker 4: these individuals what they said, a perceived sense of power,
54:48
Speaker 4: perceived not actual power. They said a perceived sense of power.
54:52
Speaker 4: And what I drew from this was that this is
54:55
Speaker 4: the position of shop steward right within the union structure
55:00
Speaker 4: in organized labor, where they get a shop steward that
55:05
Speaker 4: is the shot caller. This is exactly how Castro did it,
55:09
Speaker 4: how Mao does it. They have this structure in place, right,
55:12
Speaker 4: this person that is the one that you bring your
55:14
Speaker 4: grievances too, because it's a grievance based system. And it
55:20
Speaker 4: was fascinating to read and it says how you do
55:22
Speaker 4: that and you continuously elevate them and make them feel
55:26
Speaker 4: like they have a seat at the table, because in
55:28
Speaker 4: order for the Socialist Party or the Communist Party USA
55:32
Speaker 4: at the time to succeed, they had to recruit minorities
55:36
Speaker 4: that felt like they were empowered. And I thought, this
55:40
Speaker 4: is brazen, right, I mean, this is brazen tokenism. This
55:43
Speaker 4: is brazen, you know. And not saying that any other
55:48
Speaker 4: political factions don't do that. I'm not saying that, but
55:52
Speaker 4: I think most of them take a position of coalitions.
55:55
Speaker 6: Right.
55:55
Speaker 4: Of course they want your vote, and of course they
55:57
Speaker 4: want the strength that comes in numbers, but it's not
56:00
Speaker 4: necessarily to give you perceived power.
56:02
Speaker 5: Oftentimes there's a real exchange.
56:04
Speaker 4: If you get me the Dominicans to vote for me
56:08
Speaker 4: and you pull it off, I will give you first
56:11
Speaker 4: DIBs on ambassador to the Dominican Republic, all right. And
56:14
Speaker 4: this is how these positions work. This is why presidents
56:17
Speaker 4: have the ability to appoint thirty five percent of their administration,
56:21
Speaker 4: because you've got to put the people that have been
56:24
Speaker 4: able to move the agenda from the campaign into the administration,
56:29
Speaker 4: should you choose to. It was just amazing to see
56:32
Speaker 4: how they put it, because it was all about taking over,
56:35
Speaker 4: it was all about infiltrating, it was all about that.
56:39
Speaker 4: And I mentioned this the other day on the radio,
56:41
Speaker 4: doing a show on WPHT in Philly, where I mentioned
56:46
Speaker 4: a separate article i'd read about the use of fire,
56:50
Speaker 4: and again, the communists have been using fire forever. They said,
56:53
Speaker 4: it creates a sense of distress. So they instruct their rioters,
56:58
Speaker 4: their activists to to set garbage cans on fire, to
57:02
Speaker 4: set a car on fire. It's symbolic because they know
57:05
Speaker 4: that it catches the media's attention, and it sends the
57:08
Speaker 4: image of chaos. It sends the image of you know,
57:11
Speaker 4: we are in control, right, we are burning your stuff down.
57:15
Speaker 4: Of course, when you amplify that, you magnify that, it
57:18
Speaker 4: becomes let's blow up the federal building symbolically, of course, right,
57:22
Speaker 4: so they can turn around say, we're not domestic terrorists.
57:24
Speaker 4: We were blowing up empty buildings that belonged to the
57:26
Speaker 4: federal government. Come on and believe it or not, some
57:29
Speaker 4: people go for it.
57:30
Speaker 5: They buy it.
57:30
Speaker 4: They're like, yeah, you know what, you're right, you're not
57:32
Speaker 4: you're not an actual terrorist. Meanwhile, if you ever look
57:35
Speaker 4: at Joe Connor and his documentary Shattered Lives. His dad
57:39
Speaker 4: was killed by such a bomb. And these terrorists were
57:41
Speaker 4: from Puerto Rico. F aln. This is a real thing.
57:45
Speaker 4: It's not to say that all Puerto Ricans are communists
57:48
Speaker 4: or all Puerto Ricans are terrorists.
57:50
Speaker 5: They're not, but they have them. They have them everywhere.
57:53
Speaker 4: It's not to say everybody from Vermont, like Bernie Sanders
57:56
Speaker 4: as a socialist, or to say everybody from the Bronx
57:58
Speaker 4: or Queens is a I mean, it's like aoc no.
58:01
Speaker 4: But they have them right, so they are amongst us.
58:04
Speaker 4: And it seems that we figured out the source right.
58:07
Speaker 4: Universities seems to be the source. Labor unions seem to
58:10
Speaker 4: be the source, or at least a breeding ground. And
58:13
Speaker 4: as of late after this Rene Good shooting, we now
58:16
Speaker 4: find out that her kid was enrolled in a school
58:19
Speaker 4: where they teach people how to actively resist ice. And
58:22
Speaker 4: there was a video I shared, I believe I shared
58:24
Speaker 4: it on Twitter where people were at a church. They
58:26
Speaker 4: were being trained in the church, trained literally like they
58:29
Speaker 4: were on the pulpit there and they had people like
58:32
Speaker 4: grabbing them as if they were cops and telling them
58:35
Speaker 4: you know, rock yourself back and forth, drop your body
58:37
Speaker 4: weight low, so that's hard for them to put you.
58:39
Speaker 4: They're actively practicing how to not get pulled away from
58:42
Speaker 4: the police, just like Antifa, and Antifa has a similar
58:45
Speaker 4: method where they use their body weight to go low
58:48
Speaker 4: while their friends come and start actively pulling them away.
58:51
Speaker 4: So if you try to get one, three of them
58:53
Speaker 4: will come and start grabbing on them, so it's three
58:55
Speaker 4: people pulling against one cop. And they've perfected. This is
59:00
Speaker 4: what they do in their free time. This is what
59:02
Speaker 4: they're paid to do through the donations that are given.
59:05
Speaker 5: Whatever.
59:06
Speaker 4: I believe, it's a free country. If you want to
59:08
Speaker 4: raise money to conduct these things, go ahead. I don't
59:11
Speaker 4: do that in church on a Sunday, but these guys
59:13
Speaker 4: do what I do. Think is important that each and
59:15
Speaker 4: every one of us know that that's going on. And
59:17
Speaker 4: should you be so inclined to join them in those
59:19
Speaker 4: streets and be a counter protester, thannk God bless you.
59:21
Speaker 4: That's not for me. I don't have the temperament for it.
59:23
Speaker 4: I'll end up in jail, I know will. I can
59:25
Speaker 4: barely have civil conversations without losing my cool. Most of
59:28
Speaker 4: the time, right or on occasion, but I will say,
59:31
Speaker 4: this is what they're doing, and we have to know.
59:33
Speaker 4: We have to know that this stuff is going on.
59:36
Speaker 4: We have to be aware. Like Reagan said, we have
59:38
Speaker 4: to be informed patriots. Why the way I end this
59:41
Speaker 4: show every time because the only thing necessary for evil
59:45
Speaker 4: to triumph is for good people like you to do nothing.
59:49
Speaker 4: We have to stand for something, because if we stand
59:51
Speaker 4: for nothing, will fall for anything, Right, Sir Edmund Burke,
59:55
Speaker 4: Alexander Hamilton.
59:56
Speaker 5: It's a quote that goes on for ages. Keep that
59:59
Speaker 5: in mind.
1:00:00
Speaker 4: I start approximate, Take care, good night, and God bless
1:00:03
Speaker 4: you America. I'm Rich Valdez, and this is America.
1:00:08
Speaker 1: This is America.
