Com and Rich Valdees is with US former Christian Administration.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Official you worked for, Chris Christie. Have been policies on
a lot of public service stuff.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Rich Valdez calumnist now with the Washington Times.

Speaker 5 (00:18):
This is America, ritchiev.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
You're on the air with A Nation.

Speaker 5 (00:22):
With America with your host, Rich Valdez.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an
at Rich Valdez on all of the social media. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
I was off for Martin Luther King day, so forgive
me for that, but we will make up that episode
for you. I will get you another one before the
end of the week. And I want to get into
a bunch of things, right El Trompito. He's been talking
tough on Greenland. Lots going on on that front. Now,

(00:49):
what's interesting here is President Trump is being criticized for
all sorts of things. The most recent his mental faculties
are declining he's a dictator, he's an auto, he's a fascist,
he's all these things. They want to say. He is right,
got it, no problem. But still we've got all of
this headway that we're making in Europe with NATO, with Greenland. Plus,

(01:11):
I want to get into this Don Lemon stuff right now.
You've probably been all Don LeMond out, but you haven't
heard from me on it. And I want to get
into that because I think that's also an interesting thing
and I've got an interesting take that I think you'll
hear a little bit of that on Newsmax this weekend.
But I've got a little more nuanced to it that
I'm gonna give you exclusively right here. Plus this Friday,
I'm making the first of several big announcements on syndication

(01:32):
for this program that'll be coming out this Friday. Make
sure it's coming out exclusively via Rumble, so make sure
you're subscribed to the Rumble No Rumble Rumble channel. Rich Faldest,
this is America on Rumble, so that you don't miss that. Now,
I want to jump into Ed trumpitto, because again, people
I think miss what's the word George bush Es missed underestimate, right.
I think they misunderestimate him, or maybe they just underestimate

(01:56):
him when he says, look, I'm gonna get it one
way or the other. We're gonna get green We're going
to get Greenland, right, he said. He said all those things,
and he said, we're gonna have to be tough. But
isn't that interesting that now they're willing to play ball?
Right the folks at NATO listen to this.

Speaker 6 (02:12):
We never asked for anything, and we never got anything.
We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use
excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable.

Speaker 7 (02:25):
But I won't do that.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Okay, Now everyone's saying, oh good, that's probably the biggest
statement I made because people thought I would use force.
I don't have to use force. I don't want to
use force. I won't use force. All the United States
is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we
already had it as a trustee, but respectfully returned it

(02:50):
back to Denmark not long ago after we defeated the Germans,
the Japanese, the Italians and others in World War Two.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
We gave it back to them.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
We were a powerful force then, but we are much
more powerful force now, after I rebuilt the military in
my first term and continue to do so today.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
I think this is a good thing for ed Trumpito
and for the United States. Because listen, it's clear as
day to me that this is a good move for
the United States. And really, Trump is all about negotiating, right,
he said, hey, look, I want this thing. We all
know if you haven't noticed yet, Trump doesn't use force
for just about anything. Right. The Republicans on the right,
many of my friends and colleagues are begging him to

(03:32):
use the Insurrection Act. He won't, never has. Let's see,
you've got people wanting him to be more aggressive towards
Bill Clinton, towards Hillary Clinton, towards you name it, towards
the deep state. Now, the only policy that he has
that's been aggressive, and it's because we really have no
other way around it, has been immigration. And even that,
let's be frank here with this immigration, What is so

(03:53):
aggressive about it? Maybe the way it looks on TV,
But the numbers they pale in comparison to Tom Homan
did for Obama. Right, Tom Homan was border chief under
Obama into the millions. Our numbers are less than half
of what Obama did. So the question becomes why why?
Because we're losing a pr battle. And I mentioned this

(04:16):
a couple of months ago, and I'm going to mention
it again. Pr battles are very important in politics, and
you have to remember that just because you feel a
certain way doesn't mean everyone does. If you were to
ask people, most people would say, yeah, I think it's
a good idea that we'd deport criminal illegal aliens from
our country. Yeah, that's fantastic. If you turn around and
show them a video of what it looks like a

(04:38):
day's work of deporting criminal illegal aliens. Right, I go here,
I serve a warrant. The guy's not there. Somebody starts
running away. I grabbed the guy running because he ran away.
I say, hey, why are you running? Are you the guy?
He's like, no, I'm not the guy. My name is Pepe.
Oh Pepe. What happened to you? Well, you know, I
saw eyes, I started running. Why did you start running? Well,
I'm not in the country legally. Oh you're not all right,

(04:59):
Well we're going to take you too. Now do we
expect these guys to just let everybody go just because
they're not the one when their job is to enforce removal?
Of course not. But somehow we have these unrealistic expectations
and we don't like it when it gets ugly. And listen,
I'm not going to blame the public. I'm going to
blame the messengers when you have nothing but troves and

(05:19):
troves of video of this woman, you know, like AOC
now saying we've got ice thugs on the street shooting
moms in the face. We have this incident now that
we've got to totally manage, we have the which is
very unfortunate. By the way, then you have look and
like I've said to you before, I don't personally care
if these ice guys wear masks, are not, but clearly

(05:40):
everyone and their mother else, uh, they all do. The
argument's going to remain the same. Have we not had
law enforcement that was in danger of being caught out
there in the past. Of course we have. I have
a brother who was caught out there in the past.
He was off duty. They tried to come and kill
him because they remembered his face, they knew his name,
they knew where to find him. Thankfully, he had an

(06:02):
off duty weapon he was prepared to use this training.
But the point remains the same, that threat, that risk
has always been there in law enforcement. Since the very
first day there was a sheriff on a horse, since
the very first day there was a little bobby cop
with a billy club in England, right, those Charlie Chaplin
looking cops that you saw back in the days, the
Keystone cops. That's always been there. So I'm just saying,

(06:24):
you've got to manage this thing. I don't want to
be critical of Secretary Nome because I think she's a
very good administrator and I think she's doing a yeoman's work.
This is a heavy lift, But I've got to say
somebody has to be minding the pr aspect of this
because come November, we are going to be faced with

(06:47):
nothing but a bunch of video from this part of time,
right this time in life, where they're going to repeat
these same same idiotic things they've been repeating. Obama did
twice as many of these deportations, and they never said
a thing now is because they like Obama, Yeah, partially,
But the other part is Obama would take this head

(07:08):
on and he constantly it's my constitutional authority. I have
a job to do. I've got to do whatever. Right.
He was always like, look, I'm washing my hands of this.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Right.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's all about the message. We're here to do the
right thing. We're going to repatriate these people we're here
to help. That's got to be the approach.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Now.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I understand it's difficult to deal with these radical crazies
that are in your face, storming churches and whatnot. We're
gonna get into that right after this, but you got
to manage how things look when they keep calling you
a fascist. Now, some of you might disagree and say,
come on, Rich, if you're gonna be afraid of the
left and you're gonna conduct yourself a certain way because
you're afraid of what they're gonna say, we'll never get
anything done. Now. Welcome to politics, my friend. This is

(07:51):
how this thing works. Every move has a counter strike,
every action has a reaction. That's what's going on there.
So we got to manage it. Stuff anyway, Let us
continue and Trumpito continues talking with those in Greenland, and
now they seem a little bit open to it. He

(08:11):
laid down the gauntlet today. Listened to this one.

Speaker 6 (08:14):
It's the United States alone that can protect this giant
mass of land, this giant piece of ice, develop it
and improve it, and make it so that it's good
for Europe and safe for Europe and good for us.
And that's the reason I'm seeking immediate negotiations to once
again discuss the acquisition of Greenland by the United States,

(08:35):
just as we have acquired many other territories throughout our history,
as many of the European nations have. They've acquired There's
nothing wrong with it. Many of them. Some went in reverse. Actually,
if you look, some had great vast wealth, great vast
lands all over the world. They went in reverse. They
stuck back where they started. That happens too, but some grow.

(09:01):
But this would not be a threat to NATO. This
would greatly enhance the security of the entire alliance to
NATO alliance. The United States is treated very unfairly by NATO.
I want to tell you that. And when you think
about it, nobody can dispute it. We give so much
and we get so little in return. And I've been

(09:24):
a critic of NATO for many years, and yet I've
done more to help NATO than any other president by
four or than any other person. You wouldn't have NATO.
And if I didn't get involved in my first.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Term, that is El Trumpito and all this Magnuta, forty
fifth and forty seventh president of these United States, And
good for him, right, good for Ed Trumpeto, keeping it real,
keeping a gangster, telling the truth good. I love it.
I love the direct approach. I think it's important that
we not lose sight of the facts that are at hand.
And one reporter got a little feisty try and you

(09:57):
know correct, Trump say, hey, look look the King of
den because I already said, he's not playing ball with you.
So what do you plan to do? What are you
doing here? Why are you wasting your time with all this?
Listen to this. One's a president.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
The Danish warn ad minister rejected your call to negotiate
on Greenland?

Speaker 4 (10:11):
What will I didn't call him?

Speaker 7 (10:14):
Sorry.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
The Danish foreign minister rejected what you said in your speechs.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
That you were hoping to negotiate to acquire Greenland, essentially
saying that this is not something that they are willing
to discuss.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
So what Wilbo negotiates the Wan?

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Tell me that show when they tell me, because I
don't like any of your secondhand If he wants to
tell me, he'll tell me that to my fish.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
And when will you be discussing this? I have no
idea I'll be discussing her with this man right here?

Speaker 5 (10:40):
The President is frankly more important.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
He's talking about the un excuse me, the NATO General Secretary,
Mark Rudy. That's his name, right, Rudy? All right, are
you t te anyway? Yeah? Good? Good Trump setting them
straight again. People always trying to outsmart Trump. I guess
they believe the fake news. And listen. I hate to
sound like I sleep and wake up with my tinfoil

(11:02):
hat because I don't. I put it on on occasion, right,
like everybody else, I put it on on occasion. I
go in the occasional rabbit hole. I don't get lost
in the rabbit hole. I come back up for air.
But I'll say this, You've got to be very very
adept these days to navigate news and information because honestly,

(11:26):
it is hard to parse through this stuff. Right. I
have several informed, intelligent people that they get caught up
on a lot of different things. You know, two that
I mentioned here on this show a lot. One of
my brothers and one of my good friends, Rubin the
Cuban and my brother who's a big QAnon fan, And

(11:50):
neither of them are wrong in everything. Right, They're right
on a lot of things, but they conflate certain things.
In my opinion that shouldn't be ConFlat and I guess,
I mean, I really want to jump into that part
of the conversation, but I'm going to leave that for
a whole separate segment because I think that the neuroscience
of it, right, it's the brainwashing, the brain rotting of America,

(12:14):
and that's something that I really want to spend a
little bit of time on. But just to tease it,
if you grew up in communism and you saw the
rhetoric of the communist be one of authoritarianism. In your view,
right or my way or the highway non negotiable. These

(12:37):
two things are not mutually exclusive.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Right.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
You do not automatically become an authoritarian if you make
an offer on something or take a stance, say on something,
and say it's non negotiable. Right, you can say, look,
this is the United States of America and we do
not negotiate with terrorists. That's a matter of policy for

(13:05):
our country. That's not authoritarian. That's just saying, hey, we
have a line in the sand here, this is a
deal breaker for us. It doesn't make you an authoritarian.
But if Castro governed the same way where he said
it's either this way or that way. But he happened
to be an authoritarian because he would use the military

(13:25):
and the police to bring about his will and didn't
use elections and kind of faked them and made himself
the supreme ruler forever, right, President of Cuba, the head
of the army. All that. Then, yes you have an authoritarian.
But you see Trump doesn't meet that standard. Why because
when it was last time he got on Marine one,

(13:47):
he left tomorrowl Ago on his last day in office,
they said he's not going to leave, They're going to
have to arrest them. He won't go on and he
left right on time. Right, those are the key things
you need. It doesn't matter if he's not negotiable on
certain issues. It doesn't matter if he builds statues to himself,
puts his name on buildings like the others did. None
of those things truly make you an authoritarian. You can think, oh,

(14:10):
he's doing a lot of things like the other guy did.
At the end of this, right, the bottom line of it,
it's all about what he stands on. Trump has never
advanced policy that's not in the of four and by
the people type of government that the founders believed. He
literally has thirty four felon accounts because of his belief

(14:34):
in our system. So I want to get into that
a little bit later. That's just part of it now.
And the other part of it is how people will
mix a little bit of fantasy with a little bit
of truth and try and make all the medicine go down,
like you know, putting some sweetener in there. But to
put a pin in this Greenland stuff before I move
on the Greenland stuff, I think has been great because

(14:56):
now Greenland is saying, hey, look, we have a framework, right,
We have reached a framework where we agree that this
might be a thing. President Trump earlier today, which is
the twenty first.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Sorry fostion news alert out of Davos, Switzerland, breaking right now,
new information from President Trump about Greenland, posting moments ago
on truth social he said, based upon a very productive
meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO,
Mark Ruta, we have formed the framework of a future
deal with respect to Greenland and in fact the entire
Arctic region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great

(15:39):
one for the United States of America and all NATO nations.
Based upon this understanding, and here's a big part of this,
I will not be imposing the tariffs that were scheduled
to go into effect on February the first watch your
four h one K. Additional discussions are being held concerning
the Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information
will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD. Vans,

(16:03):
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Wickcoff, and
various others as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations.
They will report directly to me. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. Donald Trump, President of the United States.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
So President Trump making that comment, and that came in
a little quicker right, caught me off guard. But the
point is this is a good thing, right. You Now
have the folks in NATO to Secretary General Mark Rudy,
as I was saying, are you tte they say they
have the framework of a future deal with respect to

(16:39):
Greenland that would include the entire Arctic region. Again, this
is Trump's understanding of it. But Trump wouldn't put that
out there if he didn't think he was working toward
a deal. Now, I understand Trump uses the overtson window.
He's a big negotiator. So he wants Greenland. He says,
let's get the entire Arctic. I want to buy half
of Europe. Right, this is what it looks like. But

(17:01):
I think that the numbers that I saw today, and
I don't know if those were official numbers, but something
like don't what was that number, seven hundred seven hundred
million dollars plus one hundred thousand a person. There's something
similar to that, And I thought, hey, look at that.
The deal they said wasn't going to happen. Now all
of a sudden, it's happening, right, or at least it's

(17:22):
on its way to happening. Not bad, not bad. Now
there's another article here that I saw that I wanted
to read a little bit from because apparently you've got
the NATO people saying, yeah, we're in, or at least
you know, we're acknowledging there's a path forward. So NATO
Secretary General Mark Rudy said today Wednesday to twenty first

(17:43):
that the World Economic Forum in Davo, Switzerland, where he
met with President Trump, and that Trump was right about
security in the Arctic, saying when it comes to the Arctic,
here's a quote, right, when it comes to the Arctic,
President Trump is right. Other leaders in NATO are right.
We need to defend the art. Former Dutch Prime minister said,
we know that the sea lanes are opening up. Rudy

(18:05):
said the China and Russia were becoming increasingly active in
the Arctic Circle. Had acknowledged that this posed a problem
for the alliance. The alliance he's talking about the North
Atlantic Treaty organization. So NATO seems to be on board.
Is the King of Denmark gonna say Nope, can't do it?
I doubt it. Who wants that smoke? Right with all
of NATO and the United States, there are eight countries

(18:28):
that border the Arctics. Seven of the members are from NATO, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland,
Canada and the US is what Rudy said. And there's
only one country boarding bordering the Arctic outside of NATO,
and that's Russia. And he goes on to say, I
would argue that this is that there is a ninth country,
which is China, which is increasingly active in the Arctic region.

(18:52):
So President Trump and other leaders are right, we have
to do more in this region. We have to protect
the Arctic. Rudy also praised Trump for increasing the contributions
from many NATO member states to the alliance's budget, saying quote,
do you really think that without Donald Trump, eight big
economies in Europe, including Spain, Italy, Belgium, Canada by the way,

(19:14):
also outside of Europe, would have come to two percent
in twenty twenty five, when they were only at one
point five percent at the beginning of the year. Rudy said,
no way, Without Donald Trump, this would never have happened.
They're all on two percent now. Rudy's comments about NATO's
presence in the Arctic happened obviously as Trump was saying, Hey, look,
we have to annex Greenland, and this has created some

(19:36):
friction between Washington and some of their European allies in NATO.
I get it, all right. It's like having a neighbor.
You say hi every day, you get your mail, get
your newspaper, whatever it is you do outside, and then
all of a sudden it's like, hey, by the way, Bill,
I'd like to buy your house. Well it's not really
for sale, rich. Well Bill, I'm gonna get the whole
neighborhood to turn on you until you sell me. You

(19:56):
just sell it to me, brother, Just sell it to me,
do the right thing. We needed to keep this place safe.
You're letting too many people cut through your driveway. Well, well,
I do what I want to do. Well, all right,
more pressure. Right, this is what's going on. And of
course it's an uncomfortable situation.

Speaker 8 (20:11):
Now.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Before departing the situation, Trump expressed confidence, and this is
in the epic times by the way, that NATO and
the United States would reach a deal on the Arctic
island that benefits all parties. I think we'll work on
something where NATO is going to be very happy and
where we're going to be very happy. Trump said, etc. Etc.
We needed for national security, even world security. It's very important.

(20:33):
So listen, I get it. I get it, and I agree.
You know, I don't think Trump is in the business
of annexing anybody's land. Honestly, is not. It's easy for
you to say, rich, you must be blind. He just
stole Venezuela after kidnapping their president, and now he's trying
to steal Greenland. All right, if you want to play
that game. Ultimately, I think everything he's doing is going

(20:56):
to help the United States, and it's going to help
us politically. Conservatives right. So if you see any pushback
from the Democrats, it's because they realize, if we do
all of this and we're able to maintain distribution right,
and we're able to do what we've got to do
and make more money, shoot, the economy might really blow up.

(21:17):
And if that happens, people might be really happy. And
I'll tell you this, Guess who doesn't care so much
about masks on ice officers. Guess who doesn't care so
much about illegal aliens being taken out in their underwear?
Most people. Most people stop caring about all of this,
all this fake humanitarian outreach when they realize, hey, most

(21:42):
of this is manufactured, and the seventy percent of the
people that are being arrested and removed are are felons.
These people are child traffickers, rapists, all sorts of serious
violent crime, and thirty percent of them are everybody else
that fits into their criteria for enforcement and removal operations. Listen,

(22:03):
I get it, I get it. It's difficult. I have
a lot of people in my world, in my network
that you know, have people in their lives that are
affected by this. You know, many of the restaurants I
go to, many of the restaurants you go to, they
don't really run if they don't have at least wait

(22:24):
staff that's on visas. All right, Buddy of mine's a
partner at a pub in Manhattan. It's an English soccer pub.
Very few of them. You go in there, everybody has
an accent, a British accent. Why because they're all here
on a visa to work in New York City, I
think for six months at a time, and then on

(22:46):
that one and eighty first day, they've got to go
back home, and they got to be home for x
amount of time before they can come back, and then
they'll send somebody else here. And this way you get
an authentic British person. Some of them are from Ireland,
be told, but majority of them are for English because
it's an English football club. And when you go to

(23:06):
the bar there or the restaurant, the person that's going
to be serving you is authentically from there. And you
know the sometimes you got can you say that again,
because you can't even understand the englisher's speaking. So I
get it. I understand that that's a big part of
a commerce and industry and it's not lost on me.

(23:28):
So I understand why people are upset about that. But
my point is sometimes that's going to happen. Right, like
the old saying, it's very rudimentary, it's very crude, it's
very crass. You're going to break a few eggs making
the omelet. I agree with that. It's gonna happen. That's
just how life works. Anyway, Enough on Greenland and that's stuff.

(23:50):
I want to get into this stuff with dun Lei Moong.
Dun Lei Moong seemingly leading a charge into a church. Now,
I'll tell you this, If dun Lei Moong let it
charge into the church, I think they're going to come
out and really strong. The question is did he lead
the charges? Did he follow them there? If the second
is true, then he's in the clear. Right, He's not

(24:13):
going to be the bad guy, not the target of
a DOJ action. But man, what a busy few days.
And like I said, I think if they can prove
that Levin had something to do with staging this thing,
and he's got another thing coming otherwise, I think his
free speech will reign supreme. And I want to know
your thoughts on this. We're going to get into a

(24:33):
lot of audio, a lot of clips, because what a
lot of us aren't talking about is the woman that
did this whole thing. Right. She's an attorney, she's an activist.
Her name is Nikima Levy Armstrong, and she is the
woman that has the dreadlocks in the video that led
those people into that church, and she's taken full responsibility

(24:54):
for it. She spoke about an hour and a half
ago on a left wing program called Democracy Now. Got
the clip of that. We're gonna play that coming right back.
Don't go anywhere. I'm rich Valdees.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
This is America. This is America.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Barah in glace or primal norodos Bara richveald is e

Speaker 4 (25:36):
Awara, all right, amgos, welcome back as Richard Valdez Valdes
with anst at rich Valdek on all of the social media.
Happy to be here with you this Wednesday night. And
check this out. Don Limong, right, I call him Don Leimong,
you know Ms Don Lemon, Don Lemon from CNN. He
was famous like the last three four days, showed up

(25:58):
in somebody's church on now. Rumor has it that this
guy is an ice agent. He works with the Ice agents.
He was nice to an ice agent. He said, Hi,
do you an ice agent? I don't even know the
story there, and I don't care. Bottom line is, there's
a lot of people in this in this game, in
this life, in this world that I don't like. I
don't pull up to your mosque, I don't pull up

(26:19):
to your synagogue, and I definitely am not pulling up
to your church with any smoke. I'm not bringing any
problems to you at your church. That's not how that works.
Number One, that's literally a violation of people's civil rights
under the color of red, right under the color of communism.

(26:40):
Because this is literally what people are trying to do.
They're trying to exercise their First Amendment right. And for
Don Lemon to suggest that it's anything but that, or
that the pastor is somehow out of bounds for this insane. Now,
if anybody hasn't seen this, or you missed it in
the day that I was off two days, I want
you to take a look at this. Check this out.

Speaker 6 (27:04):
What do you think of this?

Speaker 9 (27:05):
I mean, this is unacceptable, it's shameful. It's shameful to
interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
But there were folks I have to take care of
my flock.

Speaker 9 (27:18):
Listen, we live in there's a Constitution in the First
Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assembling protest. Yeah,
we're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because
that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of
the world is Jesus Christ.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Be very respectful, but please don't push me. Then we're here.

Speaker 9 (27:33):
We're here to worship.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Don Lemon is such an instigator. I'm pausing this real quick.
This pastor is trying to walk away. He says, I've
got to attend to my flock. I've got to attend
to my family, because I don't know, fifty or one
hundred crazy lefties came in and just started shouting at
them and saying, would Jesus do this right? That whole
thing that you've seen. I'll play some of the clips

(27:54):
of it that happened. And this guy's taken aback and
he's like, look, I got to take care of my family,
to take care of my parishioners. And Don Lemon is
grabbing him by his sleeve gently like now, but come here,
come here, answer my question. While he's putting the smallest
microphone ever. And you know, here's the adhd in me.
Why on earth have we popularized this movement towards the

(28:18):
smallest microphones ever. Microphones are amazing, right, Think of Johnny Carson,
Think of the late great Larry King. Right, these guys
had beautiful microphones.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
Right.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
King used the RCA, the pill mic. That's a beautiful mic.
I'm always trying to pick one up, a real vintage
one if I can find one that's less than three grand, right,
because they're gorgeous in their collector's pieces. But Lemon is
literally holding this guy. So when he starts to push
Lemon off of him, he says, look, I'm being really respectful.

(28:49):
Don't push me. I mean this is straight up instigator.
Go ahead, whip Jesus. That's while we're here.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
Okay, that's while we're here. That's what we're about.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Do you think Jesus would be understanding we're about. I
think Jesus would be flipping tables over, just like he said, hey,
don't be doing your business in my father's house. Right
when he said that there were people selling stuff in
the synagogue in the temple. This is no different. They're
handling their personal business in the Lord's house. They're not

(29:21):
there on a real theological difference. They try to claim
that it is that somehow Jesus was the biggest commi ever.
Jesus was the biggest pushover ever. Jesus was the biggest
bleeding heart that ever existed. Not factual, not accurate in
my opinion. But Don Lemon, he's asked to leave, and
he doesn't stops.

Speaker 9 (29:40):
We're about a straying to love the Jesus. But just
try to talk to them as averone is willing to talk. Okay,
I have to take care of our church, about family.
So I asked this, you actually would also leave for
this wild you don't want.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
Us to.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Worship.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
I'm always worship. I'm a Christian. We're here, well, we're
here to worship. We're here to worship. Okay, thank you
very much. Are sure that he told Don Lemon to
get the step and keep it moving, keep it pushing, busta.
Come on, now, you know what? Good for him. I'm
glad he did that. But listen, this is the game
now that they're playing, right, Don Lemon has become famous
all of a sudden again, and he was always famous.

(30:14):
Let me not pretend that he's not right, but he's
back in the in the news cycle for two and
three days. But this isn't a good look. This is
the wrong thing to do. Now. I got a series
of clips that I want to play for you because
you may have heard some of them, but I know
you haven't heard all of these, and they are quite
eye opening, I have to say. And again, just to
preface this real quick, these guys are in church. The

(30:35):
people we the people, right, the people that went to
church this Sunday in Minnesota, at this particular church. They
sit down a largely white crowd. I'm just looking in
the in the group here. Everybody in this particular frame
happens to be blonde, and not that that matters, but
trying to paint the picture for you, and all of
a sudden, a bunch of people who are don't look
like the rest of the crowd.

Speaker 6 (30:55):
Right.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
And again, it's a church. I've been to churches my
whole life, and everybody looks different.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
Right.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
We got guys from from the continent of Africa, people
from Brazil, from all over the world, so I get
a very eclectic congregation. I get it totally, But this
doesn't seem to be that is my point, right. So
these other people come in and it's not like they're
looking for a chair and they want to hear the sermon. No, no, no,
these people are coming all up alongside the aisle, start
screaming stuff. Minnesota this, Minnesota that, blah blah blahh you listen,

(31:25):
renee god, renee god, renee God. Now I'm just gonna

(31:47):
pause real quick right here again. These people are now
filling up every aisle anywhere there's a space for people
to walk, any emergency exit, any row. They have now
occupied this. They're standing there, you know, and letting their
command presence be felt. Right. They've got their feet spread
shoulder with their hands are at parade rest, and they're
ready to go. I want to tell you that one

(32:09):
time I was at church. My pastor, God Rest his soul,
my first pastor and my second pastor. He was the
youth pastor, and then he became the senior pastor, Doctor
Joe Santos, the reverend, doctor Joe Santos. Pastor Joe was
a g He was from the Bronx and he had
a congregation in Hudson County, New Jersey. In North Bergen,

(32:31):
New Jersey, wonderful church, gospel tabernacle. And I was at
church one day and there was a guy who was
jealous of his wife coming to church, or his girlfriend,
and I guess she wasn't paying him enough attention. He
didn't want to come to church. He didn't like that
she was coming and making a tie. They're an offering.
And I happened to know this man, and this all

(32:52):
went very quickly, right. I knew him because i'd cut
his hair a few times in my barbershop. Wasn't a
close friend of mine, but somebody who I had known.
And same situation, sitting in church, and you just hear
from the back back doors fly open out here because
you're a pimp, you're a hustler. And I'm thinking, what

(33:13):
is going on here? So I turn around and I
see this guy that I know, big guy. It's in
good shape, and he's angry and he's yelling at the pastor.
And my pastor did not sit there and say, come
all you you who are weary and heavy laden, and
I will give you rest. He did not. Actually, he

(33:35):
jumped right off of that platform and marched right up
to this guy, stood nose to nose with him and
told him to get out in Jesus name in a
very very calm but yet a certive way. This pastor
didn't do that. I'm not here to criticize the pastor.
I'm just saying having been in a situation like this
and I was one person, not you know, fifty or
one hundred. But he's letting them screwr hands up, don't

(33:58):
shoot justice for renegg Right having their whole marching thing.
These little kids are looking on in astonishment. The pastors
are sitting there holding onto the lectern of the pulpit,
like what is going on? What do I do here?
And I get it, I might do the same thing.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
You know.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
This is a young man that's like, you know, just
trying to deliver a sermon. I don't know his whole background,
but I'm watching this and I think this is crazy.
But guess what, it gets crazy? Err watch this? Where
are you?

Speaker 8 (34:32):
Where are you?

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Where are you?

Speaker 4 (34:33):
Where are your people?

Speaker 5 (34:34):
The house?

Speaker 1 (34:35):
Why are you not at Whibble every day fighting for
the humanity, standing for our people?

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Where are you?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
You drink your coffee, you got your jewelry, you have
your nice clothes. But what do you do?

Speaker 9 (34:45):
What do you do to stand for your Smalia.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Latino community company.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
You have no comment, exactly you thing for your Latino
and Samali brothers and sisters. You you come here to
a man wearing a suit?

Speaker 8 (34:57):
Is a preacher?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Did Jesus wear a suit?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
This is a white guy with a beard, very scraggly
guy wearing like a yellow vest. You've probably seen this, right.
The guy sounds like Reagan in the Exorcist, nuts, totally nuts,
sounds like he's deemon possessed. Here he's yelling at this
little white girl with curly hair who's with her boyfriend
or her brother, and he's like, don't you feel bad

(35:20):
about drinkernette latte? And the dudes like, I got no comment.
And he's young too, he's like fifteen, sixteen, seventeen. He
very young looking kid, young young looking girl. And this
guy's screaming, barking in everybody's face. And I say that
that's very nice that he's practiced this little routine and
he was able to scare all these people because they're nice,
docile people. But what about when he gets the one

(35:44):
guy that that is afraid, right, that says, hey, I
feel threatened by you talking to me this way. I
sense this as an attack. I feel like you're about
to start swinging, So I'm just gonna preemptively start swinging
and start something with him. Got some guys that are
insecure like that. Shoot, I tend to be one of
those guys, right. I don't think I'm gonna let this

(36:06):
guy sit here and start barking in my face or
in my kid's face. And he's getting shoved at the least,
at the least. You're not the most. It could be
a little more. And I'm thinking I'm glad it didn't
happen because there was cameras everywhere, and clearly that's what
they were looking for. And I am that guy. I'm
here to give you what you're looking for, friends, because
I wouldn't know what to do. I wouldn't know how

(36:28):
to respond. This man's out of control. Listen to the
stupidities he's saying. Did Jesus wear a suit? Who talks
like this?

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Jesus prop it off the words No, Jesus would die.
But you touch me again and see what happens. You
are a fake Christian? Why are you not standing with
your Somalia Lacino communities? Why do I not see you
out at Whipple every day protesting this attack on humanity.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
Where are you? You're sinners, you're pretending to be Christians,
but we know you live an easy life.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
Don't you a very easy life while people are.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
What is wrong with living an easy life? What is
wrong with living an easy life while people are starving?
This is the hardcore hammer and sickle communism running through
this man's veins. What he calls injustice, what he calls inequity.
That is a real part of life since the very

(37:21):
beginning of time. It's kind of why Cain did abel
in right. That is the basis of sin. This focus
on inequity, this focus on you got what I don't got,
And it's literally the antithesis of Christianity, which tells us

(37:42):
to live and let live right, the parable of the talents.
Everybody gets the same amount. Three different guys work, three
different shifts. One guy worked all day, one guy worked
a half day, one guy barely worked. And when they complain,
Jesus says, bro, I don't worry about don't worry about
what that guy made today, what you made today? You
did you? I mean, just this is so bizarre to

(38:06):
me that they're not that it's happening so much, but
that there are people doing it now, this guy, I believe,
I'm gonna surmise things for you. Let me get my
tinfoil hat. Excuse me. I believe this man is a professional.
Nobody's this good at doing this unless you've practiced. And

(38:28):
I know last week I mentioned too, they were practicing
doing this in churches, right, getting removed from a church. Right,
They were hosting this out of church last week. And
I could play the audio on that in a moment.
But this guy's a professional. There's a book called Radical
Chic by Tom Wolf and he talks about the mau
mau tactics that were used in Africa by the CIA

(38:52):
during like color revolutions, regime change, all that. And these
are those types of things. This bird dogging, this, this yelling,
this screaming, this provocation, this is what the CIA uses.
These are communist tactics, and they're used to evoke these
types of visceral responses from people because communism, by and large,

(39:13):
is a philosophy of emotion. If you don't have a
hyper emotional bone in your body, you'll never become a communist.
You've got to be instantly outraged all the time, which
is why when I see the instantly outraged conservatives, I think,
oh my gosh, they're just on the other side of
the same coin. Like you know, I have some that

(39:37):
tell me things like, you know, we can't move forward
if we if not, if we don't lock everybody up
and we don't hold these people accountable, there's no way
we can move forward as a country, says who. We
have lived with corruption and sin and crime and murder
and every other thing you want to fill in there
since the beginning of time. No one, I'm must us

(40:00):
a life that was free from those conditions. Right, this
is beginning to sound like the communist manifesto, this utopian
dream for others. It's a dystopian dream. One where there's
super small government and there's no bad guys and there's
no corruption. And the other one where the government's so

(40:20):
big it takes care of everybody and there's no billionaires.
No billionaires. Both are pie in the sky, fake phony fraud. Anyway,
listen to this guy and how good he is at
what he does.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Say.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Now out now.

Speaker 1 (40:41):
Live in real comfortable. Lot of people start live in
real comfortable while children are dragged into concentration camps. You're
all living real comfortable.

Speaker 6 (40:49):
Are you?

Speaker 7 (40:50):
Shame on?

Speaker 4 (40:50):
You do something?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Stay with the Smali's, stand with the latinos quin ignoring
this injustice.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
No again, he's yelling at a van full of girls
that are like thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. Now he's going
after a guy. I don't know if this guy is
one of the ministers in the church, but he's pretty
sharply dressed. Maybe he's wearing his Sunday best. Not the
same guy that was preaching before, but he's going after him.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
He wears a suit and tie and he hangs out
with Christy Nome. How is that a Christian? You're supposed
to accept all immigrants, are you not?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Who said? Who said we have to accept all immigrants?
I thought Jesus said, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's
and render unto God? What is God's right? If we're
rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar's and we're following the
law of the land as we're commanded to do in
the scripture, then we are to accept the legal immigrant

(41:46):
and follow the law of the land and deport the
illegal immigrant. Where is this guy? Where'd you go to church, brother.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Why are you not going down to Whipple and joining
us in protest against him?

Speaker 4 (41:58):
And what the heck is a Whipple? I don't care.
I don't want to google it. It just sounds dumb.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
It's in humanity. You claim to be a Christian act
like one tracing camp.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
I'll have to claim to be. Let me take that back,
because you know I can't erase this stuff once I
say it. But anyway, this guy, they should charge this
guy before they charged Don Lemon. And then the woman right,
there's the woman that led this whole charge, right, she
is the ringleader. Let me see if we could find

(42:29):
her stand by buffering here. Her name is Nikma Levy
Armstrong and she's again the one that led this group
in there. I know people were saying it was Don Lemon,
and maybe they worked together. Maybe she said he look,

(42:50):
I'm storming this church with you know, seventy five protesters.
Can you be there to cover it? Just like when
they've done all the other stuff with Roger Stone and CNN,
they're in tow ready to go.

Speaker 6 (43:02):
You know.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Every time they have one of these little knock down
the door type of deals they have somebody read to go. Well,
this woman, I believe led the way here and now
these lefties are looking for a church near you.

Speaker 7 (43:23):
David Easterwood is a passive here. He is also the
director of the field office for ICE and Saint Paul. So,
someone who claims to worship God teaching people in this
church about God, is out there overseeing ICE agents.

Speaker 4 (43:41):
Think about what we've experienced the murder.

Speaker 7 (43:44):
Of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, a Venezuelan
national shot by ICE, A six month old baby who
almost died as a result of ICE unleashing military gray
weapons on our community.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
I want to know where this woman in her military
grade shouting was the last fifty years with the horrible
conditions for Americans, in particular Black Americans that have horrible
conditions in their prisons. Right I say their prisons because
they're the largest inhabitant of prisons. And you could make
all the arguments for that you'd like. I don't want

(44:21):
to change the topic right now. I want to stay here.
She didn't say anything about it, because this is a
manufactured crisis. It's fake, it's phony, and it's fraud.

Speaker 7 (44:30):
How dare you claim to be a pastor of God
and you are involved in evil in our community.

Speaker 9 (44:38):
Where Jesus would be understanding, and we're about worship these bodes.

Speaker 4 (44:42):
We're about ustrating the love of Jesus to them.

Speaker 9 (44:45):
As Seldrits had gathered for worship, which we do every Sunday,
and we were interrupted by this group of protesters.

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Did you try to talk to them? Imagine that seventy
five people bust down the door to your church, starts
screaming as if they're in the middle of the street,
as if they're in the public square. Just because you
have a right to come into a church to pray
doesn't mean you have a right to come into a
church to disrupt my right to pray. Your right to
any of your rights never trumps my right to mine.

(45:15):
You're only allowed to do you as long as I
can do me. This is why many places, even though
it is a First Amendment constitutional right to have a
Muslim call to prayer, many places don't allow it because
it violates people's noise ordinances, and everything comes with a

(45:40):
grain of salt. You can pray, but you can't pray loud.
You can protest, but you can't bust down the door
and yell in the face of the people inside. The church.
You go outside the church, have a chant outside the church,
maybe across the street from the church, so that they
have some quiet time to hear their thoughts. Hold up

(46:02):
a sign, right, but no, no, no, no, these people
got to come all up inside. Let me tell you,
there's a lot of churches in this country. There's a
lot of mosques in this church in this country that
would not allow this. Try and pull up inside a
mosque and try that and see if they just let you,
you know, slide. Try to pull up in a Spanish

(46:23):
Pentecostal Puerto Rican Pentecostal church. Try that there. See if
they don't lay hands on you real quick in the
name of Jesus. Unbelievable. We asked them to leave, and they.

Speaker 9 (46:35):
Obviously down then.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
Anyway, you got the poet here, right, This is what's
going on with these people. They are just out of control.
They are nuts. And there's more to this.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Right.

Speaker 4 (46:54):
This woman Nichema a couple hours ago, about ninety minutes
two hours ago, she was on Democracy Now, big left
wing side, and she made it clear she is unrepentant,
she is ready to continue. She's very proud of herself.

(47:14):
Check this out. Where are you Where are you?

Speaker 5 (47:26):
Where are you?

Speaker 4 (47:27):
Where are your people?

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Why are you not a whipple every day fighting for
the humanity, standing for our people.

Speaker 8 (47:33):
I believe that if someone professes to represent the gospel
of Jesus Christ and to preach it, that they should
not be allowing ice agents to drag people out of
their homes, cut women out of seat belts in their
cars and drag them out, bust down doors, bust out
car windows, bring people out half naked in the freezing

(47:55):
cold to detain them, take taking trophy pictures with black
men and others that they've apprehended in their homes, Scaring children,
tear gasing children and families, almost killing six month old
through the use of high powered military grade weapons such

(48:16):
as flash bangrenades and very strong tear gas.

Speaker 7 (48:20):
I mean, these are real things that we're dealing with here.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
In the state of Minnesota.

Speaker 8 (48:24):
It's delusional to pretend that these things aren't happening, ma'am.

Speaker 4 (48:29):
What's delusional is to think that there are people that
exist that truly accept all criminality, that don't see the
need to enforce the law, that will look beyond I
mean this woman, I mean, she might be the holiest
amongst all of us. Right, she can't see any sin,

(48:50):
God bless her. Wow. I hope I can be like
that one day, and you know, imagine being a cop
and you're like, well, look, I smell alcohol on his breath.
He's got a warrant forrest. But man, this guy's a dad.
This guy has a job. This guy's gotta you know.
He puts his pants on one leg at a time
like the rest of us. He wears boots every day.

(49:11):
For Pete's sake. We're not gonna arrest this man, separat
him from his family because he's drinking and driving, because
he molested a child back in his home country. Have
you no humanity? I mean, what is wrong with these people? Now?
I understand that's the reaction, right, and I feel like

(49:33):
that too. But there's something I learned a long time ago.
There are people like that. That's a matter of fact.
That's a real deal. There are AOC's, There are Bernie Sanders,
there are call Marxis, there are Joseph Stalins, there are
Mao z Edung. You have these people. They are real,

(49:56):
They have followings, you know. The great one Mark Levin
went made a comment that was very poignant, and he
said outside of the Bible. One of the most consequential
authors or philosophies of his century was Marx. You know,

(50:20):
for being a two bit comy atheist, this man has
converted the hearts and minds of many, many, many many.
And look at how energized they are, look at how
strong they are, look at how ready to rock and
roll they are. I mean, you can't ignore that stuff.
A few years ago I had the distinct pleasure of

(50:43):
interviewing doctor Paul ken Gore, who had met when I
was a mister call screener on the Mark Levin Show,
and when I had my own show, he was kind
enough to come on with me. And I gotta tell
you he's a brilliant man. And he wrote a book
a couple of years ago, a couple like six called
the Devil and Karl Marx Communism's Long March of Death,

(51:05):
Deception and Infiltration. And I did a whole thing on
the show with him. You can check that out This
is America and look for Paul kengor Richveld does if
you want to hear it. But there's so many things
that he wrote about here, especially in just the blurb
of the book, and this is the one that took

(51:26):
me back the most. It was this, he writes, two
decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism.
Nearly everyone, or at least should be aware of the
immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatch when
Karl Marx penned the Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far

(51:50):
too many people, however, separate marks the man from the
evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears
his name. What a grave mistake. Not only did the
horrific results of Marxism directly follow from Marx's twisted ideas,
but the man himself wrote down some devilish things well

(52:13):
before Karl Marx was writing about the hell of communism.
He was writing about hell itself. Listen to this quote
from eighteen thirty seven, in a poem that Marx wrote
ten years before he ever wrote the Communist Manifesto. Listen
to this, Thus, Heaven I've forfeited. I know it full well.

(52:36):
My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell now.
Ken Goo writes that that certainly seems to be the
perverse destiny for Marx's ideology. Which is true, which is
consigned to the death of over one hundred million souls
in the twentieth century alone. Now this is a very

(52:58):
very important point, right that Marx says, I've forfeited Heaven.
I've forfeited I know it full well. My soul want's
true to God, is chosen for hell. When you hear
me say that Marxism is incompatible with Christianity and those

(53:21):
that there's no God, right, they I always say they
worship at the altar of big government. That's probably being
too nice. The reality is that you can call yourself
an atheist or agnostic or a communist or whatever. But
the reality is Carl Marx is telling the truth of
it right here. Their souls are chosen for hell, and

(53:47):
they're prepared to live their lives as such, to reject
God and embrace their new God, their new religion, the state,
the power of the government. It truly is a sick,
sick idea, right, especially if you're a person of faith.

(54:07):
And if you're not a person faith, then you're laughing
at me, right, you're saying, oh, it's one of those,
it's one of those Jesus people. And that is my
point that there are some that are and some that aren't.
So when we say how could there be how could
you fill a room with these people, it's because God
is either an idea of theirs or was once an

(54:32):
idea of theirs. But ultimately they don't give a damn.
This is about them and the power that they seek.
It's about perpetually being wounded, about perpetually having a grievance, perpetually,
like as long as there's breath in the lungs of
a Marxist, they're going to fight against you, the oppressor.

(54:54):
They're going to fight against the system. They're going to
fight against you know, if you're criminals in jail, they're
fighting against you for fighting crime. This is how the
Marxist operates. They can't fight without someone to be mad at.
They have to fight. It's a fighting ideology, is why
it's so angry. And I'm not angry, and that's why

(55:17):
I'll never be a Marxist. But in the same way,
you have people that are also angry, that claim to
be patriots, and some of them are righteously angry. Right,
listen to Mark Levin for an hour or three, and
you're gonna hear Mark Levin get angry. I believe Mark
Levin believes in God. I believe Mark Levin is genuinely
angry because he's seeing this country ripped apart, the fabric

(55:40):
of this country being unraveled by Marxism. There's a difference
between right, like what the Bible describes as be angry,
but sin not right, a righteous indignation, a righteous anger,
and then hate that permeates your soul. It's a very
big difference. It's a huge distinction, and we need to

(56:02):
make sure we don't live there because the people that
want to see the other side disappear. They're exactly the
same people. Doesn't matter which side of the aisle you're on. Anyway,
that's all I got here. There is more to come.
Straight ahead, I will continue. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.

Speaker 5 (56:22):
This is America, this is America. He's making podcasting great again.
This is America with Rich Valdez.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
All right, amos, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez Valdez with
Then ask that Rich Valdez on all of the social media.
If you want to give us a call, you know
the number. I didn't mention it before, but you're free
to call us. Eighty seven seven Valdest number one, eighty
seven seven Valdest number one. And I wanted to talk
about this clip that I saw from a page on
Instagram call Neuroscience Matters, and they did this phenomenal experiment

(57:05):
to try and close the gap between the people we're
talking about, right, people who think one way versus people
who think another. People who think America's fantastic and we've
done great things for the world and tremendous contributions, and
it's the best economic system that we have ever seen,
known as the free market, that's taken more people out
of poverty than any other economic system. And then you've

(57:26):
got people that say capitalism's the worst thing ever. We
hate America, they're the worst stolen land. White people, straight
white men. They don't like them, they don't like Latinos
that support ICEED, they don't like anything. Okay, got it?
Where does this come from?

Speaker 6 (57:39):
You know?

Speaker 8 (57:39):
Me?

Speaker 4 (57:40):
I point to the devil, I point the car marks, right,
and that's how I roll. But if we really pay
a little bit more attention to this, if we really
analyze this a little bit deeper, what I'm saying I
believe is right, but I think there's more to it. Like,
why is it that if you've been around a few
of your friends lately, they're saying things like, Wow, things

(58:00):
are really getting out of hand. I haven't seen things
just out of hand in a long time. Right. The
reason you're seeing that is because things are out of hand.
Things are being artificially escalated to look like that, to
make it look like churches all across America are being
invaded by angry leftists, and they're not. That was a
one off, and it may happen again, and the mainstream

(58:24):
media may try and make it look like it's a
normal thing and start, you know, tweeting, and some of
my friends might do it too, saying oh this is
what we got. Now the lefts across the line, get
ready to go. It happened once, and it's it's important
that we take things for what they are. Information literacy
is so important, and we have to remain a neutral

(58:47):
way of looking at it. Right, you can be incredulous,
you can get a little angry, you can do a
lot of things. You can make fun of it, laugh
at it, whatever, but try to examine both sides, because
truly not that there's merit in the I'm not saying
that there may or may not be, but what I'm
saying is there truly is value in having the dialogue.

(59:09):
Charlie Kirk famously said, when we stop having the dialogue
is when the Civil War starts. We stopped talking and
we start fighting. That's truth. And this clip that I've
got here from these folks in neuroscience matters, it's really something.
I'm gonna play it for you, and I guess there'll

(59:31):
be a part two on this because there's a lot
to discuss and I'm almost out of time. Listen to this.
It's about a payphone that they bought an old school payphone.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Phone on Facebook marketplace and then modified it a bunch
and then changed the signage to say call a Republican.
And then we brought the payphone to San Francisco, California,
which is the most liberal city in America, and then
we installed the payphone outside of black cereum tattoo, of course,
with their permission. And after we installed the phone, we
then got on a flight to Texas where we bought
another payphone in Dallas and drove it two hours west

(01:00:00):
to Abilene, the most conservative city in America, and then
at an airbnb, we modified a bunch and how to
say call a Democrat on it. And then we installed
this payphone outside of seven to one books, of course.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
With their permission.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
And when you pick up this phone in Texas, it
automatically calls the other phone in San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
How cool is that? And then you can talk to
somebody that you likely will disagree with. And I'm sure
some people are gonna prank the other guy. Some people
are going to have long conversations. I can guarantee you
some friendships are going to be made, because ultimately, not
every leftist is a god hating anarchist right, and not

(01:00:40):
every Republican the way the left, woot have you think
is a you know, a bloodthirsty fascist. I think there's
a lot of people that care about the other that
people that care about people in general, and want to
find that place where we can say, you believe in
things that I stand against, and I'm not gonna hate
you and wish you dead and wish you had your
own country. I'm going to say, just like we have

(01:01:02):
for centuries upon centuries, I'm going to coexist with you people.
I'm going to pray for mercy for your soul. I'm
going to pray for a conversion of your soul. That's
what we've always done, right, This is how we've treated prisoners.
This is how we treated the mentally ill, the criminally insane. Right,

(01:01:22):
you lock them up, but you don't kill them. All right,
they mental institutions for a long time. Anyway, There's so
much we could talk about here, but I'll replay this
clip on the next edition of This Is America with
Rich Feldees because I think it's an interesting thing, and
I believe that there is a massive psychological operation going
on in our country to get us to hate each other,

(01:01:45):
to get us to divide, to get us to conquer
the other side so that we can destroy ourselves from within.
So that's why it's important for us to know something
and to stand for something, because if we stand for nothing,
will fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
evil to try is for good people like you to
sit there and do nothing. So have that conversation. Get

(01:02:06):
those payphones right, set those up, have that dialogue. I
start approxima, take care of good night, and God bless
you America. I'm Rich Valdez and this is America.

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
This is America.
