• 0:56
  Speaker 4: cavecito for this however you like it, black, no sugar
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: the way God intended or good old cafe wonna let
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: you the way I like it, and I do splendid
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: just to cut back on sugar. But let's dive into
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: the Locuda, the craziness that's unfolding right now. First off,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Uno Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, went to the
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Senate today a Foreign Relations committee. He had a hearing
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: there and he dropped some serious truth bombs on Cuba
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and Venezuela, testifying before the Foreign Relations Committee that defending
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: the takedown of narco terrorism was paramount to the United
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: States national interest. In fact, taking down the narco thug
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: excuse me, Maludu like it was a Sunday family barbecue.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: This was no small task, even though the United States
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: made it look easy. He said, we're not looking to
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: invade Venezuela. Here's a quote. He said, We're not postured too,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: nor do we intend or expect to have to take
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: any military action in Venezuela at any time. But he
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: made it crystal clear that Maludo's old regime was a
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: playground for Iran, for Russia and every bad actor in
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the Hempere with the interim leadership cooperating, which are Maluto's
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: co thugs. Talking about oil deals that put American companies
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: first and the cheap oil handouts to Cuba that were,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: you know, basically funding the Cuban regime in many ways
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: with their oil. They could barely keep the lights on, right,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: You're talking thirteen hours a day without that oil. Who
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: knows what's going to happen in Cuba, right, So it's
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: only a matter of time before those guys get chased
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: out of town, because even the soldiers in the most
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: loyal comedies are going to say, hey, hold on a
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: sec You know, I thought if I was a bootlocker
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: for you, you were gonna hook me up. They can't if
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: they have nothing to go by. Maybe, just maybe we
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: might get some real change down there in Cuba, Mamba,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: and we're going to see, right. Rubio also warned the
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Cubans after seeing what happened to Maluto. He said, I'd
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: be concerned. I'd say, man, I've bee. I think that's
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the straight type of talk that we need, right. We
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: need a leader that's talking like Secretary of Rubio. No,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: we're playing mister nice guy. No, we're playing around with
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: dictators who flood our streets with fentanyl, who were, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: part of the narcosystem and are sitting on this treasure
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: that we could totally benefit from and help their people
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: be free. Seems like a win win, but it takes
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the right type of leadership, the right type of courage,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: like what we see coming from Editron Pitos and all
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: this magnus to forty fifth and forty seventh president of
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: these United States. That's one of those things that I
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: think is a good thing, right I do. Maybe I'm wrong,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: you know, Maybe I'm just Maybe that's my inner authoritarian
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: shining through. Who knows. Anyway, I think Marco Rubio, the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: good Secretary of State that we have. I think he's
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: out here doing the Lord's work. And the left is,
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: of course clutching their pearls like it's the end of
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the world. Newsflash, it is the end of their world
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and the beginning of America's comeback. But wait, it gets
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: better or worse, depending on if you're a Kammi sympathizer
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: or not. While Rubio's schooling the Senate on why we
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: can't let Narco States thrive, just ninety miles away from Miami,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: you got ill han Omar getting a little taste of
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: her own chaos in Minnesota, which I would bet was staged.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: But she was at a town hall meeting ranting about
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: abolishing ICE because apparently securing the border is racist now right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: It's racist, white supremacist, you know, all that calling for
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Christy Nome to be impeached. Suddenly some guy rushes the
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: stage and sprays her with some mystery liquid from a
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: syringe boom. Tackled by security, she takes it off like
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: a champ, She says, Minnesota strong. Look, I don't condone violence,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: full stop. But this is the same ill hand Omar
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: who spent years fanning the flames of the vision right
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: when she said things like some people did something right
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: when they attacked America, And now the tone in Minnesota.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Is it shifting? I don't know. I would hope. So.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: I think people are fed up with the open border insanity.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I think people are tired of the Democrats protecting child
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: rapists and drug traffickers and all sorts of gangbangers and
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: trying to make it look like the Ice is out
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: there grabbing every last Tom Dick and Harry that works
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: in every last restaurant as a dishwasher, and is ignoring
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: these violent criminals that are seeking refuge here. You got
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: to remember Venezuela was emptying out their jail and sending
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: people to the United States so that they didn't have
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: to deal with that. Anybody forgot that part. I didn't
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: forget that part. Trump he says, Look, he's going to
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: escalate this. But when mayor's like Jacob Freyfry, say Minneapolis,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: wont and forest federal immigration laws, who's the one playing
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: with fire here?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: I think it's ilhann Omar. Right. She's been Trump's at
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: least for the last couple of years. She's been Trump's
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: favorite pinata. Right, She's the foil. That's why people say
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: she's gonna get locked up. I said, there's no way
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: she gets locked up. What would Trump talk about, right?
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: He can't talk about AOC the same way he talks
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: about ill han r. He can't say we're gonna deport
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: her and all that. He can only do that, Hey,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: that she married her brother and all these This is
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: this is this is great stuff, right from the perspective
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: of having a foil, of having somebody you can beat
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: up publicly, this is it. Right. Used to be Hillary
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Clinton befoilos lock her up, lock her up, because you'd
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: be in jail. Right. These are golden moments in Trump's rhetoric.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: So I don't see il han Omer going anywhere, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I see her raising a ton of cash in the process,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: right to all of her friends supporters who hate themselves
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: and hate America, so they're happy to send her a
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: check anyway, speaking of Minnesota, and I'm trying to not
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: do it, but it's like that's all we can get
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: lately is Minnesota, which is crazy. New video that dropped
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: of Alex Preddy. This one is of him eleven days
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: before he was shot by federal agents. It shows him
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: spitting at the cops, attacking them, kicking a taillight right
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: out of their police vehicle, and looking like he's got
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: a gun tucked in his waistband as he's doing it. Now,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: this wasn't some peaceful nurse protesting, although my comments on
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: social media were, yep, mostly peaceful. This is a guy escalating, resisting,
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: turning a routine operation into a brawl. The left wants
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: to paint this guy, Alex Preddy, the nurse that was
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: shot by Ice or the Border Patrol, rather as a
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: marty or as a victim, but the footage doesn't lie.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: He resisted, things went south, and tragically he lost his life.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: That sucks, right, just like that lady. That sucks. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: I would say in both cases, I'll be very frank.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that lady was trying to murder
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: the cop. I don't know. I think she might have
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: been under the pressure of her partner that was in
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: the seat next to her saying go, go go, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: she was confused if she should turn the wheel this way,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: that way, straight forward, left, right. But what she did,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: as a matter of fact, as a matter of video evidence,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: she gunned that car straight ahead of a cop and
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: hit him. And he was within his full rights to
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: empty out that clip to stop that threat. And I
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: don't say that with any pride or happiness. I say
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: that with I'm glad I know that that's a fact,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: and I'm glad I can teach my children that don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: get dead right, don't do things that are stupid that
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: can hurt you. I do my best to not do
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: that stuff, because listen, you only get one shot at
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: this game, right, It's like your teeth. You gotta take
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: here of your teeth. You get one shot, you get
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: one set of choppers. That's it. After that, you got
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: a fake ones. And unlike teeth, you don't really get
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: nine lives, right, unless you're a cat anyway, These are
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: the same and those that like to scream defund the police, right,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: the same people that like Alex Pretty and the rest
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: of these guys. I think we need accountability. They want
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: the agents to leave, they want the investigations to continue,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: but that's not something that can happen, right, That's just
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: this honest, it's hypocritical because the agents are only there
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: because the state isn't helping and the city won't help.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: They're not honoring those ice detainer requests. Now, they would
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: have been there on other related matters like oh we
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: have a warrant for this one, we got a okay,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: but those are isolated and fewer incidents. But the way
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: they're there, in the force that they're in now, they've
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: got no choice. They've got no choice but to be there.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: So I'm glad Tom Holman's on the ground. Mayor Frey
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Fry has been kind of quiet. Governor Wall seems to
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: love Tom Holman. He's saying he called me, called me immediately,
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: a Christy Noman didn't call me, So maybe there is
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: going to be a change. Right again, I've been around
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: politics long enough to know that you know, sometimes you
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: get other people to do your dirty Maybe that's what's
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: happening here, right, Maybe there will be some changes in DHS.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Right Listen, I know I would be looking at this,
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: and I like Christine. I think she's a skilled operator.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: I think she's a good administrator. But I'm sure somebody
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: hear me say that and say, you think she's a
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: good administrator. You got dead people in the streets two
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: and two weeks, three shootings in three weeks, all right,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: and how do you come back from that?
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: And you could say, well, if these you know, of
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: course there are there's reasons, there are extenuating circumstances. I
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: get that. I'm not blaming her. I'm just saying somebody's
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: gonna blame her, right because I know how Washington works,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I know how politics are. That's just the facts of
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: life in this game. Somewhere, somehow, somebody's head is going
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: to roll. Don't know who's head, all right. I told
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: you this a while back too, when it was the
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: signal leak, right, not necessarily a head rolling, but movement.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: You saw Mike Wallas, he was moved right out from
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: being National Security Advisor, got himself a nice cushy ambassadorship.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Good for him. What I would do to be an
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: ambassador to anything? Wow, what a great gig. First of all,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: they call you your excellency. I think that's fantastic. That's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: wonderful for my ego. Right, right, what's the other term
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: they have there, your excellency? There was another really fancy
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: term for them. Anyway, you can actually call them your eminence.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: I think that's a little too much, and I'd feel
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: like I was some sort of pope or something. But anyway,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: my point is what a great gig that is. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I think Mike Wallas is qualified. But again, in that world,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: accountability comes no matter what it looks like. Right you move,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: they shift, even if it's just perceived. You can't stay
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: here today. You gotta go right, like the cops say,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: you don't have to go home, but you can't stay
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: here anyway, let's continue. Oh, don't get me started on
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: this one. This one is Elliott foroehan Or. I guess
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: it's a silent age foreign but that sounds foreign. Ha ha.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: This is the Ohio Democrat running for attorney general. He
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: posts a video saying I'm going to kill Donald Trump,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: and then he clarifies. He says, no, no, I mean
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: through trial and capital punishment. Okay, what about this guy
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: is nuts. This is the same guy who trash talk
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk right after his murder. Threats like this, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: think will likely get you in trouble, right with the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Secret Service knocking at your door. But we'll see what happens.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know how this ends up for this guy.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I think he's going to say, first Amendment, I'm a
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: political candidate. I said something. I misspoke, but he misspoke
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: for his benefit, right to get the headlines. He's getting
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: to get the coverage. He's getting to get me saying
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: He wants everybody to know his name, Elliott Fourhan for him.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: All right, so now we know you Europe and the
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: next story. But we can't really move that quickly because
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I think we have to talk about this. This is
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: part of their strategy. Right when I say there, I'm
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: talking about the left. The left wants to use the rules,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: break the rules. They want to walk right up to
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: the line and not cross it. They want to use
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: the system to destroy the system. This is what they do.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: This is how they specialize. This is the Marxist Leninist
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: wing of the Democrat Party. Remember it's the Marxist Leninists
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: that were the revolutionaries Stalin the rest of them, some
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: of them are the guys from the Fabian's school that
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: believe that we don't have to have a revolution. We
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: can just take over all the institutions. Take over the schools,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: take over the unions, take over the government, take over this.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: We'll have so many of our people there that will
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: just make it our way. A right. So who's a
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: good example of that. This man who just became the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: mayor of New York City, all right, Zorai Mundani. He
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: doesn't call for revolution. He yells a lot, he smiles
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: a lot, He puts his hand on his heart a lot.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, he's talking about you know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: I'm going to put se Weaver in here talking about
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: home ownership as a racist and white supremacist. He's going
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: to get the person that was the criminal defense lawyer
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: for al Qaeda and ISIS and whatever it was they were.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: If I'm getting those confused, forgive me to be part
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: of his legal team. These are the people that he
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: wants running New York City, so that we can become
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: the next Minnesota. I say no, thank you, but hey,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: that's why I live across the river. And look, Jersey's
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: no better with I was gonna call her Abigail Spamberger,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: but that's Virginia with Mikey Cheryl. Anyway, that's another story
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: for another day. But this is why we fight, because
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: the double standard is thicker than you know, like the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: big owl at the bottom of a rocanandules, you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: the bottom of the pot stick like that. Anyway, America
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: we are in some wild times, and Rubio laying down
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: the law with dictators is good. Minnesota continues to boil over.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Hopefully this starts to cool. I'm personally bored of it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: My ADHD is killing me. I don't want to talk
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: about this anymore. I really don't. I want something else.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I need something juicy here but not this. And the
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: videos are out there exposing everything on this pretty guy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: The radicals are openly fantasizing about executing the president. We
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: saw this years ago with Kathy Griffin, and it continues.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: It's not getting better. It seems either to be the
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: same or worse because he's been shot since then. We've
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: got to take out the threats and put America first.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: That's all I could say. But we have to be strong.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: No more weakness, no more apologies. Anyway, let me know
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: what you think. Give me a call eight seven to seven,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: valdest one. Let's keep the conversation going. There's more to come,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: straight ahead, keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: This is America, this is Aria.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: All right, He goes, welcome back, Rich Valdes. Valdes with
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: an ask at Rich Valdeest on all of the social media.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: And I want to start off with Marco Rubio. He
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: was in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today and he
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: had plenty of things to say about plenty of things,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: and I want you to hear them. I got a
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: couple of clips. We're going to walk through them. Nothing
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: too crazy, nothing much too exejet here right e xc
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: G e T E exejet. We don't have to do
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: too much exegesis on this stuff. I'm using my twelve
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: dollars words today because he does a great job explaining
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: this stuff. But good for him, right, I'm really impressed.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I just want to take a moment to say I'm
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: really impressed with Marco Rubio. I've always have been I
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: was on the fence between Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump during that primary, and I think about maybe
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: the third way, the fourth debate, whatever it was, where
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Trump just went buck wild on everybody, and it just
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: seemed like he lined up everybody on that stage and
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: just smacked him down one by one. Just Toma, bothfe
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: do Toma. He just buffeted each one of them. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I said, man, Trump's the guy. Trump is the guy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: He's bringing the aggressiveness that we need to change the game.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: And listen. I liked Jeb Bush. I thought he was
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: a viable candidate. I wasn't a Jeb Bush hater. But
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Trump made a lot of great points. Right. He marginalized
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Mark Rubio, he lion ted lion ted, right, he went
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: after Cruise. I mean he went after everybody in a
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: way that in a language I spoke, coming up with
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: funny nicknames and making fun of people.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: It was like he was a talk radio guy. I said,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: oh my goodness, this is great. I feel like I'm
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: listening to the radio and Trump is the host. Obviously,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: and I was already a fan of Trump's, but I said, man,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: this is it. He's got what it takes because he
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: is a TV guy and he knew what you needed
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: to do when you get on TV. Anyway, fast forward.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I love what they've done together. I love that they're
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: all working together. I love that we have such a
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: solid bench on the Republican side at least for you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: really good candidates that can really hold their own, that
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: can really make concise and cogent arguments, because otherwise the
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Left is just out there every day with the same story.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: If you can condone this man being killed, don't talk
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to me. You're inhumane. If you think this is okay,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: then right constantly trying to wedge and pivot and divide
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and wedge and pivot.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: They don't want to have a conversation, They just want submit, submit.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Do you believe what I believe? Do you agree with
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: me on this topic? Yes or no? If you don't,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: you're not allowed, right, You're not allowed to exist, You're
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: not allowed to be my friend, You're not allowed to
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: have an opinion, you are not allowed. Who's the real
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: authoritarian here when I'm the one saying, hey, let's talk
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: about it, well, let me tell you why I think
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: of the way I think. Mmm, yeah, no, maybe so no,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: not at all. This is why I can never really
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: get down with the left, because they're never willing. It's
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: like they try to take this moral high ground like
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: they're somehow morally superior. But now again, yet again, right,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: whether it was George Floyd or a million other situations,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: now they are coming to the rescue of the guy
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: who's spat on the police, who who was at the thing.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: And look, I don't care that he had a gun.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I want everybody to have a gun. If you've listened
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to this show long enough, I think in armed society
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: is a polite society. Amen, Praise God, Hallelujah. I want
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: everyone to be armed. Lookay, I'm talking about Minnesota again.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I started with Marko Rubio. I'm in Minnesota. See what
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I'm talking about Minnesota? Anyway, My point was they tried
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: to paint him as an angel, right, even using some
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: AI to soften his image, make him look like he's
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: smiling in some of the pictures, when he was actually
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: like had a scowl on his face. Anyway, bottom line is,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: I don't think people are buying it anymore than people
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: can't look at the video in their face and go no, no, no, no,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: that's not no, no, he had to do that. I mean,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: wouldn't you be mad if they were, if ice were
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: kidnapping people, moms and dads and five year olds in detention,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: wouldn't you be mad at spit at them, Nazis, Fascists?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Let me go die my hair blue. Anyway, we'll get
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: into that later, maybe, or maybe we'll just move on
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: because I really don't want to talk about that. I
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: want to talk about Marco Rubio and how he's laying
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: things down in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing today,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and I thought this is a good idea. He says, Look,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: we can't let our foreign enemies, adversaries, however you want
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: to phrase it. I'll let you take your pick, become
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the bullies on the playground that is Venezuela. Listen to this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: We just want it to be a normal, prosperous country again,
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: not a playground for Iran, Russia and China in our
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: own hemisphere. And we're going to try to help them
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: get there because we think it serves our national interest.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: That will require actions on our part, not money, but
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: ultimately that will require them. This is ultimately going to
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: be on the Venezuelan people and Venezuelan society and Venezuelan
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: leaders to make this happen. We're going to be there
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: to help and assist and create the parameters for it.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: And we feel like we're making really good progress. If
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: we make as much progress over the next four weeks
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: as we've made in the last three and a half weeks,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I'll feel very good about that.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Again, Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Senate for
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Relations Committee today, and I agree, right, Look, I get
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: it some people like rand Paul. Rand Paul made a
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: very eloquent argument today, very very very eloquent argument, and again,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: not one that I am going to disagree with. I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: not going to disagree because I think he has he
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: makes a point. He's just making the point from a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: perspective that I think is not accurate, right, And I
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: think that there's a caveat here, and the caveat is
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: that we did not remove ahead of state. We removed
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: the pretender, right, somebody who was a pretender to the throne.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: He was pretending to be the head of state. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: it wasn't just the United States that made that determination.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: It was fifty four different nations that made that determination.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: So when you have a good portion of the global
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: community saying, look, we agree with this, it doesn't mean
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: that it's right, but it means you have some ground
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: to stand on, some right. I mean, there's probably fifty
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: four nations that think that Yahoo's a war criminal because
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: they hate his guts and they hate what Israel is doing,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and they are sympathetic to the Islamo fascists. I get
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: that too. So listen, this cuts both ways. It can't
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: just be when it's convenient to me. I don't acknowledge maludo,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: but when it's convenient to the others, well they're wrong, right, No, No,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I mean this is how things work. Right, we have
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: to be fair in our assessment, and I think that's
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: what rand Paul was trying to do. However, I think
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: this is the crux. I don't believe that we did that,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: and I think Rubio answered this really well when he said, look,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: we're always going to do what's in the best interest
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: of the United States, and that I think is the
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: right answer. Right. I'm not busting the kick, kicking down
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: the doorwave in the four four, right, I'm not doing
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: that to anybody. But guess what if you come to
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: my house. You may be very surprised if you're uninvited.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: And I don't say that as a threat or as
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: an act of bravado or anything like that. I say
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: that as I feel like I have a duty to
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: do that or I must do this, because that is
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: what we are here to do, is to protect and provide.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: But Rubio had a very interesting exchange with Senator Rand Paul,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: a Republican from Kentucky, a libertarian, the son of Ron Paul.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: And I want you to hear it. I'm gonna play
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the clip. I think I have a minute and a
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: half clip. It's a really good clip. Check this out.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Listen to this.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Foreign country bombed our air defense missiles, captured and removed
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: our president, and blockaded our country. Would that be considered
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: an active war?
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I think your question is about the and I
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: will acknowledge you have been very consistent on all these
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: points the entire career. So let me let me no
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: matter who the who's in charge. So I will point
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: the two things. The first is it's hard for us
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: to conceive that an operation that lasted about four and
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: a half hours was a law enforcement operation to capture someone.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: We don't recognize as a head of state indicted in
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: the United States, wanted with a fifty million dollars.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Bout would be if it only took four hours to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: take our president.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: It's very short.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Nobody dies on the other side, nobody dies on our side.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: It's perfect. Would it be an active war?
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: We just don't believe that this operation comes anywhere close
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: to the constitutional definition.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Of Well, would it be an active warf someone did
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: it does nobody dies, few casualties, their in and out, boom,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: It's a perfect military operation.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Would that be an active war?
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Of course, it would be an act of war.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I'm probably the most anti war person in the Senate,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and I would vote to declare war if someone invaded
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: our country and took our president.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So my next question would.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Be, now, before you go anywhere, Senator, I just want
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: to say I agree with that statement, right. I agree
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: that if someone came here and kidnapped Donald Trump and
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: left and try to make it look like, oh yeah, no, no,
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: we just win. He's ours. He broke international law. We're
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: just enforcing our warrant. We got your guy, and that's
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: a I don't think it's possible, but let's just presume
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: it was, I would say, oh no, no, no, we're coming,
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: and we're coming hard. However, the difference here is our
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: president is elected. And although Hillary Clinton said that he
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: was not the right president, he was not the legitimate president.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: And so many others said, oh, he won't leave if
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: he's not elected, and watch out, they're gonna have to
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: force him out of the White House. All that was lies.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: He happily left. He got on Marine one. He flew
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: to Marrow Lago, a house much nicer than the one
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: he lives in Washington. And this is my point that
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: rhetoric is a beautiful thing, right. It's great, it's persuasive,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: it can attack, it can do lots of things. But
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: it's actions that speak louder than words, and those actions
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: aren't there. We do have a legitimate president. We wouldn't
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: need a foreign government to arrest our fake president. We
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: would do it on our own. We have the best
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: military on the planet. And that's the point that I
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: think the Senator is missing. He's this is an esoteric argument,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: but I understand his premise because he is true to
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: the game. This is what he believes in.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Go right ahead, Let's say it's not a war we're
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: just going to define it away and say it's not
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: a war.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: That's one of the arguments. So it's a drug bust.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: What if a foreign country indicts our president for violating
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: a foreign law, should we extradite our president or should
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: we be okay if they come in and get him
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: by force.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Look, I think ultimately we're always going to act act
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: in our national interest, and so if somebody comes after
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: our national interest like the case you've described, which obviously
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: it does not exist at this time, but the case
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: you've described, the US always has the right to act
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: in its national interest and to protect itself. So I
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: don't know about this equivalency. Does this justify them doing it?
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: We're always going to do what's best for the United
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: States in America. We're always going to protect our system.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: But the point isn't then you're exactly right. We will
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: act in our national interest.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: We should.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: So I'm not disagreeing with you at all. What I'm
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: saying is though, that our arguments are empty. Then the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: drug bust isn't really an argument.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It's a ruse.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: The war argument, not a war is a war is
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: a ruse. It's not a real argument. And we do
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: what we do because we are we have the force,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: we have the might.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: We do it because it's in our interest, So we wouldn't.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Let I'm gonna pause right here because I'm going to
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: say no, and Secretary Rubio is going to respond, but
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going to say no, that's not just a ruse.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: When President Obama issued strikes, and I use him because
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: he's an opposing figure, he's not on our side per se,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: at least not in mine. When he did zone drone strikes,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: when he did all the different military actions that he
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: took in his presidency, these were not acts of war, right,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: even though it may look like war by the definition
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: that the United States has now ran. Paul back then
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: was saying the same thing he's saying now, don't use
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: our military without Congress saying it's okay, period bond if not.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: That's Rand Paul's position, but all of his friends believe that, yes,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: you can have these limited types of surprise strikes without
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: having to go to Congress, Mother may I every single time.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Because the president, as the chief executive of the country
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: and the commander in chief of the armed forces, has
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: to have that flexibility in leeway to do things in
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: the national interest, and you can't do that, especially if
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: you have an opposing party that could slow you down
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: and slow down the interest of the country, especially if
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: it's sensitive, highly classified information. And what are you gonna do? Convene?
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: All right, we found out the Chinese just left Maduro's
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: house in Mitra Flores, and we're gonna go. We have
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: twenty minute window to the vice president who turned States
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: on him, just told us he's going to be here,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: and we've got fifteen minutes to get in and out.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: There's going to be guards on this wall, the north wall,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: the south wall. How do you do that? Go all right, quickly,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: convene a session of Congress. Oh but they're in the district.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Oh but they're sleeping. Oh but they're at the local brothel.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Oh they're at the local bar. Oh they're you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: hanging out with lobbyists. How are you going to convene
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: this group of Congress to get this going? You can't.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: It's not feasible. This is why the president, any president,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: has these powers. And that's to me, the bottom line
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: answer to this. It's just not an act of war.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: We didn't go there to invade. We went there quickly
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: surgical extraction and we left boomtleef. You now very clear
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: to me, go right ahead, Senator.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Let anybody come in bomb us, blockade us and take
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: our president.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Let's call it what it is, and let's vote on
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: these things.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: But I think we're in violation of the ghost of
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: spirit in the law of a constitution by bombing a capital,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: blockading a country, and removing.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: If we went to a different city, would you feel
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: better right? You see? That to me is an empty argument.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: And again I like Grandpa a lot. I met him
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: last January. Very nice guy, very nice guy, very smart guy,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: and I support a lot of what he does and says.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: But I think on this point, I think there's a misunderstanding.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Elected officials, and we certainly wouldn't tolerate it, nor would
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: I if someone did it us.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: But we didn't remove an elected official.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: We removed someone who was not elected, and it was
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: actually an indicted drug trafficker in the United States and
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: their as system.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Our laws indicted under our laws.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Look, Bolsonaro says that Dasil.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Sir, indicted under our laws? Yes, because we are what
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: laws are we going to hear? By Venezuelan law?
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: We're not Venezuelan's is not really the president of Brazil.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Our president said, Biden wasn't really the president. Hillary Clinton
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: said in twenty sixteen, Trump wasn't the president.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: So you have these arguments, and I.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Agree with you him it probably was, and most likely
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: was most as surely was a bad election.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: He wasn't really elected.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, if that's our predicate, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: you don't have to come to us because as it's
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: a drug bust, we're just removing somebody, you can see
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: where it leads to, and it leads to chaos. And
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: that's why we have rules like the Constitution, so we
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: don't get so far out there that president.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Hold on, where is the chaos? Though? To me, this
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: is one of the cleanest things I've ever seen. I
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: don't see anybody besides Rampaul and a handful of Democrats
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: that are complaining.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Suits can do whatever they want.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: If a foreign country bombed our air defense missiles.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: And nobody's bombing anything, sir, Now we're playing you know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: what if? What if? What if? And again I don't
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: mean to sound snide or anything. It's not how I
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: feel at all, Like I said, nothing but respect for Rampaul.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I really like the guy, but on this one, I
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: just think this isn't this is inaccurate, it's not right
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: at all. All Right, let us continue, because I thought
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: that was a fantastic discussion. Truly was, in my opinion,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: a fantastic discussion and one that needs to be had, right.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I don't think we should not have those discussions. I
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: think we should have more of those discussions because I'm
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: with Rand Paul. I don't want the government to have
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: the power that they have, right, But that's a different
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: argument than the one being made. The one being made
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: is that we don't have it now, and good for
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: him for making it. Look I support his descent here,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: I don't agree with it right now because, and I
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: say right now, because I think we have a lot
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: of established precedent teaching us that presidents of every stripe
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: of every political party have had, at one way, at
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: one time or another, in one way or another, use
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: military might in a non active war capacity. It happens, right,
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: It's just part of being a nation state. And I
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: don't believe that this was one of those cases. But
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Rand Paul is an ideological purist, which I respect the
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: heck out of and that's his position on this, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: good for him. And it's the same way the grace
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: that I'm extending to him here, Right, some people don't
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: want to be so graceful. It's the same grace I
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: give to Bernie and the rest of those people. They
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: see things differently than I do. And I could sit
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: here and go, they're stupid every time? How could you
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: see it like that? What's wrong with you? Right? I've
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: got news for you. I happen to believe my own
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: preconceived notion that communism is a bad thing, to bad
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: ideology that leads to nothing good. I happen to believe
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: that the social economic theory known as socialism is also
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: a bad thing. There are many people who think socialism
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: is a good thing. That we should all play play,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: pay sixty percent sixty five percent in taxes so that
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: everyone in society can be okay. Why should you make
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: four hundred k year and that guy only make eighteen thousand.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: These are fundamental disagreements that I have. Right, I can
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: say that you're wrong, but I'd rather just say I disagree,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: because the reason I say that is because I do
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: think it's wrong. But ultimately a You're not gonna get
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: that much done by telling somebody they're wrong, and b
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: the person that's wrong may end up one day in
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: power I e. Mamdani. Then what Right, Then we're gonna
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: freak out and get scared and go, my god, call Cuomo.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: We'll take Cuomo back. He can kill more Grandma's let's
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: put a Democrat at office. No, no, we got to
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: stand on what we believe. Ten toes down and keep
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: it real. Keep a gangster. Come on, we lost, that's it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Take the l move on. Let him do his COMI thing,
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: show people the contrast. That's it. There's not much else
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: we can do about it. If we believe in our system. Right,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: you won fair and square, You did your thing. That's it.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: I could come back and say, yeah, come on, do
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: you really think he won? I do really think he won? Listen,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: you tell me somebody. It's election day. My brother. My
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: brother's a doorman on Madison Avenue. He wants to vote
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: on election day. But you know what he wants to
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: do more than vote on election day. Make sure he
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: makes it to the f train on time. Make sure
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: he gets to work on time, sticks with his schedule,
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: gets to where he's got to go, gets back home
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: on time. Right, So if it's an inconvenience for my
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: brother to go and vote, because he's got to do it.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: It's a duty and it's a right and now hopefully
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: it's an honor, but it is an inconvenience. It gets
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: in the way of his day, of his life in
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: that day. Right now, let's turn it around and look
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: at the Mamdani voter. These people spend three hundred and
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: sixty four days in the streets with Palestinian flags, gay flags,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: you name it, whatever the latest victimhood flag is. They're
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: doing that. They're in the streets. They're having these protests peaceful, right,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: mostly peaceful, with rocks and frozen water bottles and all that.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: This is what they dedicate their lives to election day.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: They live for election day. So yeah, when you tell
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: me that all these people voted, I believe it. What
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: else did they have to do? They work from home,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: the ones that work, the ones that don't work, they
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: don't work. This is what they do do. They have children.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Many of them choose not to have children because they're
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: afraid to bring children into a world where somebody might
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: you know, have a carbon footprint right, AOC AOC is
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: afraid to have a kid. She said she's afraid to
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: bring a kid into this world. She's not alone. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: don't think that's hyperbole from her. I think there's a
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: lot of people like that. I'm in the dating world
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: a little bit when I do go out, and I've
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: met women that are my agents, slightly younger that don't
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: have children, Women between thirty six and forty seven, that
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: don't have children, never been married. Imagine that, right, And
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: it's not a critique. That's just I didn't see that
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: a few years back, now more prevalent. That's just how
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: people choose to live their lives. So it doesn't come
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: as a as a shock to me if somebody's not
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: had being a kid. It doesn't come as a shock
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: to me that people are waiting around to go and
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: vote and dragging everybody they can. And it also doesn't
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: surprise me if people are cheating their butts off. We've
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: seen so many cases of that with ballad stuffing and
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: the like. So anyway, you get the point, right. So
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: I'm team Rubio all the way. I support Ram Paul
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: and I think the left sucks. Is that something up right?
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: I think so. All right, taking a pause right here,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: we're coming right back. We're gonna talk a little bit
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: about this guy who says he's gonna kill Trump and
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: a couple other things I got up my sleeve. Don't
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: go anywhere. I'm Rich Veldesk.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: to speak with Rich Valdez.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, very good, Rich, The honor is all yours.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez.

• 37:16
  Speaker 4: if there is something I want to say, I can
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: reach you right. All too often, if things happen in
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: this business that we're in, there are all sorts of
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: programming changes, right.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I spent many years on a couple of different radio stations.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: I spent the last almost four years on hundreds of
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: different radio stations. And sometimes they make changes, right, Sometimes
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: they sell soros about a bunch of those radio stations,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: and they make changes, they want to do different things,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: they want to go in different directions. I was on
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: his one legendary station in Chicago, WGN, and they loved
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: my radio predecessor, Jim O'Hannon, because he was moderate, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: he was very kind, and he was a lot of
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: things that I was not right. He was very gentlemanly,
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: and I have a very different approach. Jim is a
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: newsman and a fifty year veteran on the radio, and
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I am a guy that worked in politics and worked
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: in marketing, and we're different people. So of course my
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: approach to things is different, and my outlook and my
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: approach on how I analyze these things is going to
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: be different. And the WGN audience was very liberal, center left,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: and they tolerated Bohannon at night, but they wouldn't tolerate me,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: you know. They sent me packing as soon as I could,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: and guess what, I landed so nicely there on another
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: legacy station right across the street, WLS in Chicago. And
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: let me tell you what it was. One of the
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: highlights of my radio career is that is being on
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: both of Chicago's biggest radio stations that both happened to
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: be centennial stations, legacy radio stations both more than one
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: hundred years old, that only have three call letters in
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: their hall sign WGN and WLS. Anyway, just a quick
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: thought on that. But again, people were freaking out on
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: WGN said where's Rich, Where's Rich? Where you go? What'd
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: you do? You know? Meanwhile, I was putting updates saying, hey,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: that was on a Friday. Next Monday, we're starting at
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: nine pm at night or whatever, ten o'clock at night
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: on on WLS. But yet as much as I was
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: tweeting about it and putting it on Facebook and making
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: those mentions, people don't read right. So I want to
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: urge you. You know, it's not like they're going to
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: force it into your feed. You're gonna have to take time,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: go check out the page, make sure you hit the
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: little bell notifications. Do what you got to do, right.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I always say, subscribe and turn on the notifications if
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: you're interested in this program and you want to hear it,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: and you like to hear it every day, because you know,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: all sorts of things happen, and you never know. There's
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: upload delays, there's this delay, things happen. So the more
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: connected you and I are, the better. Matter of fact,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: I might start an email list because I think people
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: still use email. Maybe it's my fault for alying relying
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: too much on the various social media because that's how
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: I keep in touch with most of my friends. And
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: maybe that's something we'll take note of. So to the
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: production team who's listening, please make note of that to
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: maybe start an email list so we can start capturing
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: those emails. And oh, of course your calls are welcomed.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Eight seven to seven val Desk number one, eight seven
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: seven Valdesk number one. Okay, Now I want to get
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: into this conversation that is going on with this Attorney
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: general candidate in Ohio. Now, this guy he's uh, I guess,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: but for lack of a better word, truly, right, I
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: don't think it was a better word. This guy's up
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: in THEIL. And his name, let's see if I can
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: find it here? What is his name? Oh man, I
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: had it right here. Now it's gone farhand something right,
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: Elliott Farhan forehand fo r h A n foreign All right,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: So this is cut number twenty and this is again,
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: this is what our discourses come to and these things,
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: in my opinion, should be discouraged on both sides. Right,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: If if a Republican were to make these comments that's
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: running for office, I think President Trump or some other
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: prominent Republican or the RNC chair or somebody should should
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: weigh in and say, look, you know, in the nicest way,
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: I would pick Mike Johnson to make this admonition, right
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: to say, look, look, look, we appreciate your zeal, we
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: appreciate their energy. But the bottom line here, right, you
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: can there's so many ways that you can correct someone
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: without having to, you know, publicly admonish them and you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: beat them. It's it's it's fine, but it should happen.
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: We should say, look, we do not stand for telling
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: the electorate that we're going to kill the opposition. Right,
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: And I don't mean using that word figuratively. I mean,
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: wait till you hear this audio. Then you're gonna say,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: what's going on? Now? Something're gonna say, Rich, I thought
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: you were a free speech I am and in the
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: same way I'm saying, and in the free speech of
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: those that are the powers that be, they should say, look,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: you're free to say what you want, but I think
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: you should say this. Check this out.
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: This is Elia Fourhand, candidate for Ohio Attorney General. I
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: want to tell you what I mean when I say
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: that I am going to kill Donald Trump. I mean
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: reasonable doubt, based on evidence presented at a trial conducted
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: a sentence duly executed of capital punishment. That is what
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: I mean when I say that I'm going.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: To kill Donald Trump.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Now listen again, I think this guy, somebody should say
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: something to him. Shouldn't be the government, shouldn't be anybody
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: else saying you can can't say that. He can say
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: whatever he wills, right, whatever his desire is, he should
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: say it. But we have the right to say it too.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to be the first one to say,
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: mister Foreand it seems like a low rent strategy to
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: get your name out there. Not like you want to
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: be taken seriously as a chief law enforcement official for
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: any state, Not like somebody that wants to be taken
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: seriously as a jurists as a state Attorney General. To me,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: it seems like you are using a cheap marketing ploy
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: to try and gain some political points, to either stand out,
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: to gain and listen, a lot of people are doing it.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: Trump is great at this, He says things. It's natural
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: for him. He knows how to cut through the noise
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: and get those headlines. There's another candidate in Texas that
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: she does similar names, Valentina Gomez. She's fascinating to watch, right,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: She's very, very creative. I would say, look to take
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: my own advice. I would say, Valentina, do not go
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: burning the Koran with a blow torch. But she did,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: and it was a social media sensation for a lot
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: of the people that enjoyed that. I'm gonna say I
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: think that misses the mark. But that is a central
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: part of her campaign, so it's on brand for her. Ultimately,
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: I think that is not the message. But guess what
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: she's delivering the message she needs to deliver in the
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: most inescapable way, just like mister Forehand is. So, everybody's
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: within their rights, within our free speech to do what
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: they want. Right, they can burn our flags, she can
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: burn some Korans. I get it. But what I'm saying is,
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: if we want to attract a civil diffscourse, if we
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: want to have a conversation where people are willing to
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: listen to your opposing viewpoint, put the blowtorch down right,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: they might actually, you know, instead of running for cover,
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: they might listen. That doesn't mean it's not effective. From
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: the marketing standpoint. Her social media is absolutely on fire,
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: and should she not get elected to Congress, she's gonna
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: be commenting on politics. I'm pretty sure for a very
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: long time. She's got a lot to say, and she's
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: got a lot of courage and a lot of bravery.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: And this guyforehand, I wouldn't say he's got courage and bravery.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I would say this is a cheap trick. And the
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: reason I say that for him and not for her
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: is because I really think there is substance behind her message,
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: and I think for him, Trump has done nothing, nothing
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: to warrant capital punishment. So this guy truly is just
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: talking smack. It's fake, it's phony, it's fraud. Ms Gomanz
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: is really talking about the dangers of radical Islam and
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: how the associated costs of that are weighing heavily on
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: society and not just in America, right, I mean she's
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: talking about in Texas, but in real life. I was
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: at lunch today with a couple of my buddies and
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: let's see, we were talking about local stories and then
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: a couple of national stories, and the conversation centered on
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: current events, and there was so many different opinions on
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: things on should ill han Omar be deported? And for me,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: the question is not should she be deported? I guess
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: the answer to that for me is if ill hand
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: Omart is convicted of a crime and she loses her citizenship,
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: she can be deported. I don't know that any of
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: those things are true right now. I don't think that
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: she's lost her citizenship. I don't think she's been convicted
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: of any crimes. And I don't think she's even really
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: being considered for deportation because we don't typically deport people
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: unless there's some serious issue, right, And that would be
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: a nightmare I think for this administration. Right talk about
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: swimming upstream. You got to do that when you have
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: the political will and the win that your wings, and
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: not when it's against you. And right now, with this
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: ice stuff, nothing's really going for us right. The economy
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: would be reported that much better if we didn't have
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: this big domestic thing going on my opinion, Right, that's
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: my critique. I think it's a necessary thing, but I
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: think we got to I would try and clean it up,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: and I think they're doing that now. I think that's
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: why Homan is there. They got Christy nomout because she
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: likes the cameras and she's good at it. And Greg Bovino, right,
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: the mean green board tack machine, right, he's out of there.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Homan's also great on camera, but I think he's here
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: now to bring that professionalism, that pit bull that you know,
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not playing. We're going to do what we got
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: to do. We could do it the hard way, the
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: easy way, you decide, right, because that's one thing he's
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: really good at is giving options. So we'll see how
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: that works out and hopefully nobody else sends up dead.
• 47:48
  Speaker 4: And again, this is not the result of ICE. I
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: don't think ICE is killing anybody on purpose. Right, They're
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: doing what they have to do within their rights and
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: within the scope of the law. For sure. This is
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: a political arm twisting that has to happen, in my opinion,
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: from the White House or whomever has the power to
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: say to Mayor freyfry and to Governor Wallas, Listen, Tom
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: and Tim, put the tampons down, show me your hands.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: Let's make a deal, right, And we have to make
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: this deal in order to get the peaceful resolution that
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: we need. Right, ask what is it that you want?
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Trump's so good at making deals, and I think that's
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: what he's done and that's why things are going smoothly now.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: So anyway, those are my thoughts there, but I feel
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: like I was making a point and I kind of
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: stopped midway. Anyway, Mayor Frey Frye and the other Bendel,
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: the guy who wants to kill Trump. These guys are
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: a sham. They're stupid, and this is not the type
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: of thing that we need to be focusing on. But
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: yet it seems like we are dumbing down our public
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: discourse more and more, right, instead of focusing on real issues,
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: things that matter. You know, just compare and contrast Marco
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: Rubio's testimony earlier in front of the Foreign Relation Committee
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: and then this idiot who's talking about I'm going to
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: build a capital case against Trump and have him killed.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, clearly, night and day. One guy's up in there.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: One guy's a serious person. Understood and listen. I don't
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: even claim to be a serious person, but I could
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: tell the difference. Keep it locked right here, coming back,
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: more to come. I'm Valdez.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: head of hair and podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdenz.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: All right up, migos, welcome back. It is Rich Valdenis
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Valdez with an s at Rich Valdez on all of
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: the social media. Happy to be here with you. Thank
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: you for I been seeing a lot of new followers
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: coming in. So for those of you who are just
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: starting to follow the program, thank you for those of
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: you that are sharing the program right. I know a
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: lot of you via text message. People write me and
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: they tell me, hey, I got a text from my
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: friend with a link to your show. Absolutely loved. Thanks
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: for keeping me company on my way to work and
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: every day on the way to work or back and
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: forth whatever. And which is again why I love radio,
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: and I love streaming, and I love the fact that
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: people can listen when when they're able to listen. But
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: nothing is better, and I can't lie on this. Nothing's
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: better than when we're all listening together. Right when you
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: turn on a radio and I say something and you
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: laugh and you call and then you get to talk
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: to me, that is beautiful. And I love live radio,
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: and yeah, maybe one day I will continue with my
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: live radio stuff. But the financial upside that I needed
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: to be there wasn't quite there the way I wanted
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: it to be there. And I think, you know, they
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: wanted a certain level of control over the content that
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: we create, the videos and the YouTube channel that they
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: had created, which wasn't really video, right. It was a video,
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: but it was a static image of me, and I
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: wanted a real video because it's hard to compete in
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: the video marketplace when you don't have videos that are
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: up there. Right, Some people were listening very happily to
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: the show, but the numbers weren't where they needed to be,
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: in my opinion, because they needed a video, right like
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: everybody else that's doing this, you see them talking into
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: a microphone. And I've always resisted that truth be told
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: because I feel like there's a degree of magic that
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: goes with the radio that you have to imagine things right.
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: You have to use the mind's I what we call
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: theater of the mind in broadcasting. And I think that's
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: part of what I love, is that I could do
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: all these fun things. You know. For example, if I
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: were to tell a story, and you know me, I'm
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: full of stories and I wanted to. Earlier, I mentioned
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: my friends and I were out at lunch, right and
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: I was there with my buddy Henry, another friend of mine, Kalani,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: another friend of mine Anthony. And if I were to,
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: you know, use my my impressions to recreate this thing,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: it would sound like this. So rich, Joe, what do
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: you think about ilhan Omar? I think they're gonna lock
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: her up and throw away to key. What do you think?
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: And I, well, you know, Henry, I think that I
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: think that they don't have much of a case on
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: il hand Omar. If they did, they wouldn't be talking
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: about it. They would be bringing it. That's my personal belief.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: I think that it's always good to have a foil, right.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: I don't have any case against AOCI, but I'm always
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: gonna say, ah, see all lot crazy, my least favorite
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: congressman for the Bronx and Queens, because having a foil
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: on my show is great radio. So you know it.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: Trumpito does politics like he does radio, and he has
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: a foil in illen omar oh ill end. She should
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: be deported. She married her brother. Really bad people, bad ombres.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: He's terrific at that. So he loses all of that
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: if he doesn't have this person. Right. But as long
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: as you get to keep talking about it, you've got
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: material that you can use in front of the crowd
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: that you're talking to. So I think that that is,
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: you know, And that was the response I gave him.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Then my buddy Anthony, He's said, no, you crazy, rich,
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: just not how it is. It's not like that. It's
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: not like that at all. She's going to jail, she should.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: You just got to follow the money. I say, all right, well,
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: maybe they do need to follow the money, right. And
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: then then my buddy Colin, he said, well, you know,
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: maybe maybe, but I think you might be right. If
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: they had something on they probably locked her up already.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. So I could not have re
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: enacted that conversation on video as well as I just did,
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: because you couldn't see me making all these voices, right,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: And that's the theory of the mind that I'm talking about.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: That I love what comes at audio, whereas when you
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: see me doing it, you lose. You know, It's like
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: watching the magician from from backstage. It's not as good
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: as watching the magician from you know, the front row.
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: That's the point I'm making. Anyway, what's next on my
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: hit parade? Here? There's two more things I wanted to
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: talk about. Bear with me, Bear with me. We're extremely
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: prepared here. All right, here we go. I have the
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: next clip lined up. I don't really have a line up.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: I'm about to line it up for you. Oh, this
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: is it. So you know, part of my career I
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: did some weekends and even some weekdays recently. Earlier this year,
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, I did a couple of afternoon drive
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: shows for my friends at WPHT. And there's always a
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: lot to talk about in Philly because a crime is
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: through the roof, and b they have this horrible George
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: Soros type of prosecutor named Larry Krassner. Larry Krasner yesterday
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: said some crazy stuff about ice officers that I thought, man,
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: even for Krasner, this is beyond the pale. Listen to this.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: This is a small bunch of wanna be Nazis. That's
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: what they are in our country of three hundred and
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: fifty million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades,
• 55:00
  Speaker 6: we will find your identities, we will find you, we
• 55:04
  Speaker 6: will achieve justice.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: So Marco Rubio, he's like, yeah, I think you know,
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: we're not gonna do the regime change in Cuba, but
• 55:11
  Speaker 4: I think we should have regime changing in Cuba. Right,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: he said that, He said lots of things very eloquently.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Then you've got this guy forehand that says, yeah, I'm
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: gonna kill Trump, and I'm gonna kill him by locking
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: them up and killing them in a capital punishment scenario
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: with a conviction. And now you've got Krasner saying, these
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: guys are a bunch of Nazis and the Ice agents.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: We're gonna track you down just like they track down.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Then who's the authoritarian here? Who is the autocrat? You
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: tell me if there's not a trend on the left
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: with the Democrats and the way they talk about Republicans.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: And then you listen to how Republicans talk, and they're
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: talking about solutions, they're talking about ideas, they're talking about
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: making America great again. And while they're creating a picture
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: for what they think that should look like, the Democrats
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: are just so when was America ever great to begin with?
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: Pal?
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, how do you have these conversations many In
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: many ways you can't have them. You can try, which
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: is what I try to do on a daily basis,
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: but I also realize, Look, there's certain people you can't
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: talk to when you have people that are caught up
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: in the emotionality of things. And whether this guy is
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: doing this because he wants to use this strong, harsh
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: rhetoric to evoke emotion, because he knows exactly what it'll
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: do to people, or because he truly SIPs that kool
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: aid and believes that Ice officers are Nazis putting Jews
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: in ovens. I mean, I feel bad for the guy.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: The guy's nuts, but whatever the case is, it's stupid.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Again within his riots, he's the top cop in Philly.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: He gets to decide who gets locked up and who doesn't.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: Elections have consequences, for sure. Obama taught us that one.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: But man, should we have something called integrity? Should we
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: have something called an internal locust of control where we
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: decide what's right and wrong? In our lives, and perhaps
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: he does have one and he's decided that was right. Again.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: This is why I say the people that disagree with us,
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: because I could tell him they're wrong, and they'll just
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: tell me, Nope, you're wrong, Nope, you're wrong, and it's
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: a pointless debate that doesn't get anywhere. To me. You
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: just got to get to the people that are willing
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: to have the conversation, and sometimes it's more than one conversation.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: It's why, thankfully I do this thing five days a week.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: I understand there was a problem with the Monday show,
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: so it'll eventually load. I don't know what happened there,
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: and that was a glitch or something with the snow,
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: but anyway, that's just a quick programming note. Bottom line here.
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: We have to be responsible for ourselves. We have to
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: live our life according to the things that we believe
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: are right and wrong, not the things that others believe
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: are right and wrong. Right, that's just facts. Otherwise, how
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: else does it work. I'm gonna sit here and go, well,
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: they poked my eye out. Oh, then eye for an eye?
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: What's the old saying? If everybody does an eye for
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: an eye, we're gonna have a blind society. Nobody's gonna
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: have any eyes left. Somebody's got to take the high road.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Somebody's got you know, follow christ say turn the other cheek,
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: or how about turn the other cheek because I don't
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: want to hear this. I'm out of here. Whatever your approaches,
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: we can't continue to fight, right, is what Charlie Kirk
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: talked about. He said, let's talk, because the minute we
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: stopped talking, that's when the fighting begins. That's civil war,
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: all right. I mean he goes, coming right back our
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: final segment, don't go anywhere.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez. All right.
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: I mean he goes, welcome back. And if you didn't
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: hear my interview with White House Economic Advisor Steve Moore,
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: who is one of the guys who architected the big
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: beautiful bill tax cut program, make sure you check it out.
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: That was last night, So comes next on your if
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: you are catching up, but very good conversation. I want
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: to recommend that you listen to it, and I'll be
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: bringing more guests on. I got to tell you I
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: got into this business doing a talk show, mainly by myself.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: That was what Mark Levin taught me, because Mark told
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: me that he was taught by Rush. You don't need callers,
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: you don't need guests. You just do your show. Just
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: give them your thoughts. You are the show. And that
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: was how I came up in this business, right, and
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: in the biggest market in America is where I cut
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: my teeth on talk radio. I had to quickly realize
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: if I'm going to hold the attention of an audience
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: for a full hour, right, a full hour of live
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: air and my voice, and I better have a lot
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: of interesting things to say, or things that at least
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: are interesting, entertaining and informative. And that's how I learned
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: how to do radio. And then I had this opportunity
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: to host the nationally syndicated show on Westwood One, and
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: this was fantastic. This was a show that was once
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: Larry King's show and then Jim Bohannon's show, and Jim
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: kept the format that Larry had with you know, an
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: our long guest in the first hour, hour long guest
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: in the second hour, and then the third hour being
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: open phone in America, right, And I love that until
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: they you know, changed our clock a little bit, and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: then we had to kind of modify each hour because
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: they were not always running in succession, and every hour
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: had to be, you know, two or three segments of
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 4: a guest followed by a segment of open phone America
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 4: at the end of the hour, and I got used
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: to that after a while. But I did love the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: straight hour of calls because it was just like, here's
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: what's going on in America at night, right. It really
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: was fantastic to get that perspective. Plus that hour used
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: to be from midnight to one am, so it was
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: really late night and it was different. But either way,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: my point is, as you know, we grew with radio stations.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: Each year, we added dozens each year, we had earlier slots,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 4: And the point I'm making is I loved that. I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 4: love that, but it took me a long time to
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: get used to doing the interviews because I got into
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: radio and podcasting at the same time, and podcasting was
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: me sharing my thoughts kind of like I'm doing now,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: you know, having this conversation with you guys. And then
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: it was radio, and then it was more interactive with
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: phone calls and whatnot. And then when I integrated with
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: allowing others to share my platform right to me stop
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: talking and start listening. That was a nuance for me
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: that I had to get used to and I enjoyed
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: as well, because Mark always said, look, listen, Richie, if
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: you're going to bring a guest, to make sure they
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: know more than you, because if you could say something
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: better than they can, then they don't need to be
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: on your show. And I said, you know what, Mark,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: You're right. It's one hundred percent right. So I try
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: to follow that model to bring you people that I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: think are the best guests possible, that will give you
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: something of value that you're gonna walk away with something
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: saying wow, I didn't know that, and I learned a
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: lot here. So that's what I intend to do. So
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: some of you looking for guests, we'll have more of them.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: You know, we have a lot of our regulars that
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: should be coming back. I just haven't called them, Honestly,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: I've been catching up getting a lot of my thoughts
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: out there. Anyway. That's all I wanted to say. A
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: star Aproshima, make sure you stand for something, because if
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: people like you to sit there and do nothing. So
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: do something. Take care, good night, and God bless you America.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: I'm rich Valdez and this is America.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: This is America.
