Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is America with Rich Valdez, powered by poliitweek.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Dot com and Rich veldees is with us former Christian
administration officials.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
You worked at Chris Christie and Fallisleach a lot of
public service stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Rich Valdez calumnist now with the Washington Times.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with a Nation.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
Nation with America with your host, Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with aness
at riche Valdez on all of the social media. Happy Tuesday, everybody,
pleasure to be here, blessing to be with you, and
you can always check us out at richeveldest dot com
for anything you might have missed. But I want to
get into a couple of things because you know, America
(00:47):
is a wonderful place that we like to talk about
here on this program a lot. Our nation was born
from the ideas of the Enlightenment. God given natural rights
and they're just that these rights that are given by
the Creator by the government. This isn't a principle that's
based on an opinion or one that can be ignored,
because it's so foundational to the enterprise and the experiment
(01:10):
known as the United States. You just can't refute it
now after almost two hundred and fifty years, right, that's
we're coming up on two hundred fifty years this year.
We know that the experiment is just that it's exceptional.
But it only works if virtue is woven into the
fabric of everything we do collectively and individually. Of course,
(01:33):
we can't force compliance or virtue, because that would be
a utopian fantasy. But we can take heed to the
warnings of the framers of this great nation. One way
this was insured for us was a reliance on God
for providence, for protection, for peace. Lamentably, the ideas that
(01:58):
counter the exceptionalism of an Erica rely on godlessness and
immorality as the virtue of their movements. It's true that
there's been an unmooring of society that starts with attacking
that which makes us strong and cohesive, God, the family.
(02:20):
But the rights of the individual to worship, our right
to free speech, our right to life, our right to liberty,
the pursuit of happiness, and the protection of one's own
life is what James Madison wrote about. Those are those
fundamental tenets that keep this thing going. Yet here we
(02:40):
are today struggling to maintain that beautiful simplicity. You've got
a president that's being chastised for saying that sedition should
be punishable by death. Who would a thunk it? Right?
This is a a crazy situation. You know, we're still
(03:02):
managing the economy because of Biden's inflation that was out
of control. Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation,
yet they did nothing to avoid it, and in fact,
they caused that. They contributed to it. Right, everybody that
was drunk on spending printing more money. So obviously the
government devalues our currency and makes everything cost more for
(03:23):
you and me. They declared war on fossil fuel during
the Biden administration, shutting down pipelines, closing the h Anwar
oil field, stopping drilling leases. All of this did what
It caused the prices of everything to go up because
almost everything requires fossil fuel energy to produce. That's just
(03:43):
the fact. And they know that, and they say, we
got to get away from it. But how do you
do that? So now we've been spending huge sums of
money on tax dollars to extort American businesses to raise
wages by incentivizing individuals to do whatever it is that
(04:03):
they want. And this is not the way forward, right.
What we need to do is more of what Trump
is doing, incentivizing businesses to invest in our country, making
sure that America is still that last bastion of freedom,
of opportunity, of American dream that exists.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
A lot of people think, ah, the American dream that
was for people before. But I'll tell you this, I
still believe in this stuff. You know, when I was
a kid, I used to see Ronald Reagan come out
and he would talk about all sorts of things. And
I've got a clip. It's a little long, but man,
is it worth it. Listen to President Reagan talking about
his conversation with the Cuban, the Cuban who fled communism,
(04:48):
the Cuban who said, listen, if the United States goes under,
we've got nothing left. Check this out.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has
ever faced mankind in his long clime, from this up
to the stars. And it's been said, if we lose
that war, and in so doing lose this way of
freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment
that those who had the most to lose did the
least to prevent its happening. Not too long ago, two
friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a
(05:16):
businessman who would escaped from Castro, And in the midst
of his story, one of my friends turned to the
other and said, we don't know how lucky we are,
And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are.
I had some place to escape to. If we lose
freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is
the last stand on earth. Outside of its legitimate functions,
(05:37):
government does nothing as well or as economically as the
private sector of the economy. Well, now, if government planning
and welfare had the answer, and they've had almost thirty
years of it, shouldn't we expect government to read the
score to us once in a while. Yet, any time
you and I question the schemes of the do gooders
were denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say,
(06:00):
we're always against things, we're never for anything. Well, the
trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
It's just that they know so much that isn't so
These proliferating bureaus, with their thousands of regulations, have cost
us many of our constitutional safeguards. How many of us
realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property
without a warrant, They can impose a fine without a
(06:22):
formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury, and they
can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce
the payment of that fine. Those who would trade our
freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have
told us they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.
They call their policy accommodation, and they say, if we'll
only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget
(06:43):
his evil ways and learn to love us. All who
oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say, we offer
simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a
simple answer, not an easy answer, but simple. We cannot,
but by our security, our freedom from the threat of
the bomb, by committing an immorality so great as saying
(07:06):
to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the iron curtain,
give up your dreams of freedom, because to save our
own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your
slave masters. Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we
follow other than this, But every lesson of history tells
us that the greater risk lies in appeasement. And this
is the specter our well meaning liberal friends refuse to
(07:27):
face that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it
gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight
or surrender. If nothing in life is worth dying for?
When did this begin just in the face of this enemy?
Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to
live in slavery under the Pharaohs? Should Christ have refused
(07:48):
the cross? Should the patriots at Conquered Bridge have thrown
down their guns and refuse.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
To fire the shot heard round the world?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored
dead who gave their life to stop the advance of
the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where then, is the
road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer. After all,
you and I have the courage to say to our
enemies there is a price we will not pay. There
is a point beyond which they must not advance. You
(08:18):
and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for
our children, This the last best hope of men on earth,
or we'll sentence them to take the last step into
a thousand years of darkness.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
That is a clip from President Reagan. And let me
tell you, if that doesn't get you going, I don't
know what will. He's talking about protecting the American dreams,
something that we need to do today, something that the
radical left in our political establishment seems to be attacking
on a regular basis. Whether it's the family, whether it's
(08:50):
the free market, whether it's traditional sports, you name it.
Reagan nailed it in his conversation with the Q. If
we fall, where does anybody else go? This is the
world's last bastion of freedom. And I know people want
to criticize America all this is freedom? What Denmark Denmark healthcares?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
All?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Right, right, you got Bernie Sanders and somebody like him.
But the reality is this is it. We are the
last best hope. So what are we going to do?
What are we prepared to do? What are we willing
to do to advance the cause of liberty in America.
I'll leave that question with you as we head into
Thanksgiving week, but I will ask you to keep it
(09:32):
locked right here because there's more to come straight ahead.
I'm Rich Valdez.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
This is America.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Podcasts now Richiev. You're on the air with a Nation
is America with Rich Faldez.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We need to restore balance, Download and subscribe ogpodcastnetwork dot com.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
This is America. He's brown bald and he's breaking it down.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh he's so had some what's his day?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Rich Veldez?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich valdesk keeping the
company this Tuesday night, heading into Thanksgiving Eve, heading into
Thanksgiving week, and I want to get into something I
meant to get into yesterday. There's a bunch of things
I want to talk about, right. I wanted to get into,
of course, this overarching theme that I allowed President Reagan
to get into because who could do it better than him,
which is protecting America and our virtue. But there's also
(10:33):
fake meat, right, Remember I talked about the three D
grown meat at the Campbell's factory. That secret audio came
out yesterday. I mentioned it, but I didn't play the
audio for You're going to do that today as promised.
There's also the joy ride gone bad with people who
were out there popping donuts in Queens New York on
a public street, somebody can plain. Next thing, you know,
they got beat up and then their car got set
(10:56):
on fire. That was a wild story. We got some
more audio on that that I want you to hear,
and of course plenty more going on. The contentious situation
with Ukraine and Russia continues to go back and forth,
but it seems like progress is being made. Secretary of
Rubio saying that we are in a better place than
we were before and they see some promise there, and
(11:19):
I think that's a good thing. I really do. But
I want to get into a particular audio clip in
a moment, but before I do, I want to remind
everybody that we have these conversations ay, because I want
(11:40):
you to be informed and you know, understand my take
on things. You don't have to necessarily agree with me,
but I want you to be aware of these things.
And that's why I play the clips the way I do.
I give you the longer version of the clip just
so that you can hear everything in context, because I
think that's important. Now. Something I want to get into
(12:02):
right now is the progress that is being made with
respect to the war in Russia. Now I know that
it's been back and forth, and there's been a lot
to discuss, but I think it's important that we discuss that.
It's important that we talk about the political nature of
(12:22):
what's happening, the economy and so many other things. And
of course, one of my favorites, so I should say
my least favorite, my least favorite Congress women from the
Bronx and Queens, AOC all out crazy alexandri Casio Cortez
who says that we've got a whole lot of instability
(12:43):
going on. Listen to this.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
To be honest, the president's remarks are I think indicate
a level of instability. It's not just shocking, it's not
just offensive. It's bizarre, it is erratic, it's volatile, and
I think it indicates a mental state that we should
(13:07):
all be questioning right now, whether that's emotional or mental,
what have you. It is not normal to make these accusations,
it is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats
of violence, and it's also not normal to also dramatically misquote,
as Carolyn leave Ittt was doing. What these members of
Congress said, they made a very clear message to US
(13:31):
service members, which is that you do not have to
obey in illegal order. And I think that's an important
message to reiterate because this administration seems to be increasingly
trying to go down that path.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Now that's AOC again saying that it's wrong for President
Trump to talk about the punishment for seditious conspiracy being
death because why well, because she thinks it's wrong. She
doesn't like it. You think ed Trump Beto cares about that?
Do you think any of these people cared about this?
Now I could tell you this. I'm gonna give a
little a piece of advice here. I don't claim to
(14:07):
be smarter than anybody, but if I was ed Trump
beat them, I would say, because he knows they're gonna
freak out. And I think part of that's his strategy, right.
I think part of that he says, you know what,
I'm gonna say this, and they're gonna freak out. They're
gonna talk about it for days, and it keeps him
as the number one headline every day. Right. I think
people tend to say, oh my gosh, I used to
like this show, but they became very political, or I
(14:27):
used to like this but it became very political. Now.
The problem is that the media is fascinated with Trump,
so there is no other news except for the first
three to five stories being Trump all the time. So
I think what happens here is President Trump. I think
my recommendation, if I were, you know, in the White
House press shop, I would say, mister President, I think
(14:49):
that it's imperative that you go along with this, right.
So when AOC puts something like that out, you retweet it,
you read truth it and say, totally see, I agree.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Not a single service member, not a single one, should
ever follow an unlawful order. We're not here for unlawful orders, folks.
Matter of fact, I give the most lawful orders, lawful
orders or what I do best, bigly, bigly lawful.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Orders, and just hammer down that he agrees nobody should
follow unlawful orders. And in fact, if you need some
help deciphering the orders, we're gonna have you know, our
team of people here, you know, and make a joke
of it and flip it back on them, because this,
I think is what in you know, in the people
find endearing and they go, you know, that's the el
(15:40):
trumpito that I know in love. Now I know that
he's not necessarily looking to win every popularity contest, But
the left seems to really get away with things because
of the sheer numbers of the people they have in
big blue states. So they say things like, oh my gosh,
Trump did this, and everybody's freaking out. When I guess
the rest of the world, the rest of the country
look at this and they say, well, as politics as usual,
(16:01):
you're gonna have politicians that disagree. Not everybody's gonna, you know,
think the same way. You get to say, munch have
the same shoe size, right, just doesn't work that way.
So to that AOC, I say, hey, I think the
President agrees with you. I think I agree with you.
I think all of us agree with you. No one
should follow any illegal order. The bigger question is why
(16:21):
are you and your Democrat friends pretending that there are
illegal orders going on to begin with? Why is that
even happening? Why are you trying to create instability? Why
are you trying to sabotage that which is succeeding. That
would be my question to l Congista AOC. Now, I
want to get into something else. Let me see if
(16:42):
it's queued up already or if not, we'll get it
queued up during the break let me see now, is
this it stand by No, it's coming close. But imagine that.
Imagine being in a meeting and having a conversation with
your boss and explaining, Look, you're telling us we're selling soup,
but I can't say we're selling soup. But any good faith,
(17:04):
this meat is being created on a three D printer. Now,
I don't know how real that is. I can't imagine
eating a piece of meat that was grown on a
three D printer. And I am a connoisewer when it
comes to different cuts of steak and whatnot, right like
the Porterhouse, the Ribbi, the Tomahawk Ribbui. So I wonder
(17:25):
if you've heard this story. You know Bill Gates was
famous for talking about fake meat, and now you've got
Campbell's potentially caught up in drama with fake meat. So
we're going to get into that straight ahead, plus your
thoughts and opinions if you want to go ahead and
tweet at me or hit you any of the social
media dropping a comment. I've seen a lot of great comments.
(17:47):
By the way, thank you very much for all the
love and support that's out there. I do appreciate it.
At Rich Valdes on all of the social media at
Rich Valdes, and of course our comments are open looking
forward to your thoughts on this. Don't go anywhere. I'm
Rich Faldes.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
This is America. This is America.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
With programs like America at Night with Rich Valdez and
Donald Trump is a guest. Who's gonna watch late night TV?
Come on?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Who would want to?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I want to listen to you Rich all the time?
All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich VALDESK keeping your
company tonight. Uh, this is America at Rich Valdes. You
can find me at richvaldest dot com, streaming on iHeartRadio,
and in a couple other places. I'll keep you posted
as that begins to expand. But I want to direct
your attention to this story because, of course, the background
(18:49):
on this is Bill Gates. Right, Bill Gates. He's the
founder of Microsoft. You know you've heard of him before, obviously,
and he famously has talked about lots of interesting things.
But I want you to hear a sample of the
elitism of how you know, how carried away? I think
(19:15):
people like him get listen to this.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Six percent of global emissions are cows who burp and
fart methane to an extreme.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Degree six percent. Six percent, So listen to the solution free.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that,
or you can make beef without the cow, and both
of those, you know, will be pursued to see which
one can lead to the best product in terms of taste, health,
and cost.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Six percent. So listen to this. So Bill Gates says
we're gonna have to make fake meat because six percent
of global emissions come from cow farts. What about saying, listen,
ninety four percent of emissions come from other places. Maybe
we should deal with that instead of making fake meat.
(20:10):
I mean, that's just a thought, mister Gates. I'm not
nearly as smart as you. I'm definitely not as rich
as you. But wow, well, mister Gates made that comment
a while back, and some people are taking it seriously
because now we've got reports that fake meat is actually
a thing, and this is pretty scary stuff.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You've got the vice president of Campbell's soup company, Martin Ballely,
He's been you know, all over the place on the news.
He exploded in a meeting over the company using bioengineered ingredients,
including fake meat that comes from a three D printer,
and now, of course the media is trying to smear him,
saying he's the crazy instead of them being the crazies
(20:53):
for using the fake meat. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
A former Campbell's Soup company employee is taking legal action
against the food giants, and he's making some explosive allegations
about one of its top executives.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Good evening, and thanks for joining us at six.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
I'm Ty Steele, I'm Kimberly Gill. Those allegations are now
at the center of a lawsuit claiming the company's vice
president went on an hour long tie rade attacking the
company's products and employees before taking aim at its customers.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And the former employee recorded it all.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Eric Erickson shares that recording and what the company is
saying about it.
Speaker 13 (21:27):
We have for four people, and that's just part of
an over an hour long rant, says former security analyst
for Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe.
Speaker 14 (21:39):
I don't buy it's fairly anymore.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
So althy now that I don't what the Senate even
in a soup.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I look at it.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
You ap bio engineered me.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I don't want to eat a piece of chicken. It
came from a three D printer.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
You The recording allegedly of Campbell's VP and Chief Information
Security Officer, Martin Bell.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
He has no filter.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
Bally, along with another supervisor and Campbell's suit company, named
in a lawsuit filed Thursday, the suit claiming Bally made
racist remarks, admits to coming to work high and Garza
fired for coming forward.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
What do you think about the things that he was saying?
Speaker 13 (22:18):
Oh, I just just appeared discuss Garza says he usually
worked remotely for Campbell's headquarters based in Camden, New Jersey,
but thinking he'd be discussing his salary with Bally, he
says the recording taken in person at a restaurant. Garza
says he felt sick after the rant, deciding to go
(22:40):
to his direct supervisor in January, keeping the recordings to himself.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Now, of course, the media is going in a certain
direction here, and they want to make this guy out
to be the worst thing ever. And I'm not here
to defend the guy. I'm here to talk about the
fake meat. They seem to be glossing over the fake meat.
I hope they bring it back to the fake meat,
because I don't care if he's beaten people up, and
I mean, hey, listen, not everybody's nice, right. Sometimes you
get a boss that's a jerk. I get that. But
(23:08):
do you get a boss that's a jerk and talks
about fake meat made in a three D printer? I
don't think that happens every day. Go ahead play the tape.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Ever had any disciplinary action, they had never written them
up for poor work performance.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
Garza says, no one at Campbell's ever followed up, and
it's taken him ten months to find a new job,
calling the way the can Soup company handled it simply terrible.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
They have a model, you know, like we treat you
like family.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know here at Campbell's, soon'll come work for us,
you know where we cheer our employees like family.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
That's that's not the case.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
We did just receive a statement from Campbell's.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It says, quote.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
If accurate, the comments and the recording are unacceptable. They
do not reflect our values and the culture of our company.
We are actively investigating this manner.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So Campbell's Soup now in peril. Right Florida State of
Florida's coming after them after the secret audio came out,
saying hey, we might have to shut you guys down.
Florida's attorney general said he will shut down violators of
the state's law on lab grown meat after launching an
investigation into Campbell's over a secret recording of the executive
(24:18):
you just heard saying, quote, we don't do the fake
lab grown meat here in Florida. We'll enforce the law
and shut it down. Florida Attorney General James Utemeyer said
that on X, also known as Twitter, yout meyer or
up meyer, however you want to pronounce that, said that
the state's Consumer Protection Division is launching an investigation into
(24:39):
the company, and WDV is broadcasting portions of the recording,
saying that the speaker, identified as Campbell's vice president and
chief information security officer Martin Valley, has heard saying we
have crap for effing poor people who buys our crap,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 15 (24:58):
And.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Continuing saying, I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's
not healthy now that I know that we have what
the F is in it? According to the person on
the audio, which they believe to be the vice president,
I just described to you. The speaker also referenced bio
engineered meat, saying I don't want to eat an e
fing piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
(25:21):
Who does, sir, who does? And listen, I've had some
good tofu in the past, but it's not ideal, right,
It's just not good for you, I believe. Anyway, we
use one hundred percent real chicken in our soups. James Reagan,
the director of external communications at Campbell's, said to Newsweek,
the chicken and the meat from that chicken comes from
(25:43):
law trusted USDA approved us suppliers and meets our high
quality standards. All of our soups are made with no
antibiotics ever, and that's good for their chicken meat. Any
claims to the contrary are completely false. Other false claims
that were made today cash Battel, the media going out
(26:04):
there saying, oh, by the way, we saw cash Battel,
and we think he's on his way out and Trompito's
going to be getting rid of him, and blah blah
blah blah blah. And what happened. As soon as the
uh the traffic cleared up a little bit, people started moving.
Oh my goodness, Caroline Levitt brought this over to the
President saying, hey, did you hear these things about Cash Battel,
(26:27):
And the President immediately shut this down, saying, ha ha ha,
not happening, and good for him and good for them. Right.
I think Cash Hotel has an enormous lift on his hands,
this massive classified file. You've also got all sorts of things, right,
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This has been one of
(26:49):
the busier times for an FBI director. And I think
Cash Hotel's handling it pretty well. So when President Trump said, hey,
you know what, let's take a picture, let's send selfie.
Let's make sure you know people know that this is fake,
phony and fraud. You gotta love a boss like that.
I think you really do that not only looks at
you know, the output that you're putting out, but overall
(27:12):
the entirety of the cumulative or collective work, project or product,
I should say, And I think that's what it's all about.
It's about nailing it each and every time, you know,
the whole team winning, not just one person winning. So
I love that. Anyway, there is more to come. Straight ahead,
(27:33):
we will continue the conversation. I want to let you
know what's going on with Venezuela. A little update on that.
While Nico las Malulo is dancing on the stage acting
like a fool, doing the makarena and playing, Simon says, well, yes,
he might be taking a call from El Trumpito. Then
all this magnus the forty fifth and forty seventh president
(27:55):
of these United States. And this is going to be
an interesting one because I think that Venezuela might be
running out of steam. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
This is America.
Speaker 4 (28:11):

A Nation America.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
With Rich Valdez.

Speaker 5 (28:28):

and podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your
company this evening. If you want to check me out,
feel free richbaldesk dot com. Go to the website, learn
a little bit about what is going on and how
you can check out the show. Of course, we're getting
close to Black Friday. I do expect to be putting
on social media. If you're interested, we're going to be
(28:59):
putting a couple of signature pieces of merchandise that people
have asked for over the years. People keep asking for
the camouflage with American flag mixed liberty loving Latino hat.
The cap kind of looks like a mega hat, but
it's camouflage with the American flag on it. This was
a staple for us early on in the show and
people loved it. They sold out. I ordered more and
(29:21):
never got them, so I'm going to make sure we
get them for the upcoming Black Friday, as well as
a couple of signature T shirts that I think you're
just going to enjoy, which have key phrases from the show.
So those will be available on social media, not at
richveldesk dot com, at least not at this point, but
(29:42):
they're available, so if you want to buy, I want
to give it to you one of your favorite people
that loves this show. Amen, Praise God, halleluja. Now we
shall continue. Now, you heard Bill Gates, you heard about
the lab grown stuff. You've heard a number of things,
quite frank. But one of the things that I think
is important for us to remember is that sometimes people say, listen,
(30:09):
you're nuts, You're absolutely crazy. If you think this is
how it works, but some people are actually losing their
their minds. And you know, mental health is a focus
not only just during the holidays, but here on this program.
And why wouldn't I play a clip that A talks
(30:35):
about this as America and B It just makes a
whole lot of sense. Listen to this.
Speaker 15 (30:44):
A em ere, I see.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
That's where yet? Okay, that's where yet? Because maybe some
of y'all got confused of where you landed. Maybe you know,
they messed up the ticket or something like that. Maybe
you thought you was going somewhere else. But but this
is where you at.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You this is America.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Okay. Now, we've never cared about you know, whether it
was Buddha or or or some deities or any that
America's We've never cared. Okay, whether you whether you whether
you get down on the at the north or south
at twelve o'clock, whether you do it at three o'clock
or whatever, we don't care. We never care. Some people
don't believe in God at all. Okay, that's your personal
(31:33):
situation with your own eternal salvation. We don't care about that, right,
But what we're not gonna do is sit back and
have you strong arm a whole and make us do
what you Oh no, this is America, Jack, Now, now
we have a problem. Now we are in a situation. Now, okay,
(31:54):
and let me tell you something, You Republicans, you better
get the molasses out your ass.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
Now.
Speaker 11 (32:00):
I'm trying to tell you now because these people done
came in through the back door, the side door. Somebody
didn't let the window open. They coming in through the roof,
trying to just rare page all of Now we gotta
worry about walking over people in the middle of the
side gulf at four o'clock in the afternoon because they
got rugs and everything else out said, Hey man, listen,
(32:22):
let me tell you something. This is the United States
of America. Now, you better get that through your head.
And it seems to me that Americans need to get
that through their head first. You so busy trying to
just welcome everybody. Oh, this is the melting pot of cultures. Yeah,
(32:42):
but it's a melting pot of cultures in America's kitchen.
Understand Now, I don't know what you're gonna do. I
don't know how you're gonna do it, but you better
figure it out because I can tell you right now,
I'm not wearing nothing over my head. So I'm just
making that announcement to you now. I'm not wearing anything
over my head on my ankles. Oh well, you can't
(33:05):
show your face, your fingernails and this, that and the
other or whatever it is or whatever. I'm not doing
nothing that I don't want to do because I'm in America, hope. Okay,
So somebody better do something, and you better get it
done fast because I'm not.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (33:22):
Don't don't touch me, don't call my name, don't face
shit to me.
Speaker 15 (33:25):
Oh, because the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That's Meghan mcglover and she's weighing in online about the
push towards cultural acceptance of religions that are contrary to
many religions that are well established here in the West.
In particular, she's talking about not putting something on her head.
(33:52):
That's a reference to the hit job to Islam, and
not that I'm a defender of Islam. I'm a defender
of Christianity and they don't I think, have to be
mutually exclusive per se. But for the sake of absolutism
in the Christian faith, they aren't right. It's not with Islam,
it's any other faith, right. Christianity is an absolutist thing,
(34:14):
and I'm an absolutist adherent. But what I'll say to
her is you're not alone. There's a lot of people
speaking up against the push towards cultural acceptance of Islam.
And I don't mean accepting people for their religion. We've
been living amongst Muslims for a long time. Many of
(34:36):
us have said, hello, how are you have a good weekend?
Take care? Oh, it's your holiday, super happy Ramadan? Happy, whatever? Right,
all those things have happened. It's when the conversation ends.
Like Charlie Kirk said that things get out of control,
and that was true. When things stop, when people no
(34:56):
longer are having the lighthearted conversations but are saying, you know,
f you, I've got somewhere to go. This is not cool.
Blah blah blah. Now, my friends Houston, we have a problem.
So I wonder when I look at this, I wonder
to myself, what is the story here?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What ends up happening? What are we going to do?
How do we do this? Well? I know that President
Trump recently revoked the temporary protected status of people coming
from Somalia, and a couple other places in not Dearborn, Michigan,
but in Minnesota where they had that big population, that
(35:39):
big Somali population. And I have to say, this is
something that if it was done appropriately and accurately within
the confines of the law, is his right. If it wasn't,
then it wasn't. But there's few things that the president
can do, like I just describe administrative, clerical things that
are not going to be their fault per se. Right,
(36:02):
there's a margin for error, at least there should be
if there isn't one. And I think he's also not
coming as a person soliciting a donation, right, he's soliciting advice.
He's soliciting to rub off some influence, gain some influence,
So he's not looking for the latter. So that being said,
(36:28):
this I think opens a situation, right, opens an opportunity
for those that are trying to have this conversation and
have it earnestly saying you know what's going on here, Right,
You've got Trump that's always maligned in the media, and
he's not trying to create a Muslim band. He's trying
to protect America, protect Western culture, protect the American way
(36:52):
of life that seems to be under threat because of
mass migration that would never have been legal but for
Joe Biden. So what does one do? What is the
proverbial next step? I wish I had the answer right
This is one of those rhetoricals on on my end,
(37:15):
I think that I can't be mad at somebody for
succeeding in their religious conquest, but for myself for not
doing better in my own. So that's kind of where
I fall on this. But we'll continue to talk about it,
and you know, put the facts out there as best
(37:36):
as we can. Now, let me see, I think there
was another thing I wanted to bring to you, but
let me regroup. I'm going to take a pause right here.
We're going to come right back. Don't go anywhere, folks,
Rich Valdesk at Rich Valdesk with an s on all
of the social media, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
This is America.
Speaker 16 (38:02):
Under President Trump, America's laws, order and families will be protected.
These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught
because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. If you are
here illegally, your next President Trump has a clear message
(38:40):
for those that are in our country illegally. Leave now.
If you don't, we will find you and we will
deport you. You will never.

The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
to speak with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Oh, very good.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
of sofrito.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Now here's Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
All right, he goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez. Keeping your
company heading into Thanksgiving week And and of course, a
couple of things I want to get to. I always
got something up my sleeve over here, and one of
the things that I wanted to get into tonight was
this clip of audio. Let me see if I could
pull it up real quick, because I thought it was interesting.
(40:14):
And let's see. Oh this is a good one. Here,
hold on, bear with me, if I could find it
on my desktop. Oh it's a funny one. Yeah. So
this one is a comedian and she is very very
very funny. This is a good one. This is a
(40:35):
woman named Annie Howell, who's stand up comedian, and she
makes the analogy of who she thinks would be better.
Should it's more of a dichotomy, should it be the
(40:55):
Democrats that protect the country or Republicans? And her response, well,
I mean there's a reason she's a comedian. It is
literally hysterical in my opinion. God, play the tape either.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Right.
Speaker 17 (41:10):
They're saying we should separate liberals from one country conservatives
another country.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
And when I heard that, I was like, oh no,
we can't do that.
Speaker 16 (41:18):
If America ever goes to war, I want.
Speaker 17 (41:20):
Conservatives defending us, right, those guys that storm the capitol,
that's who I want fighting for this country.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Have you seen the photos they be on the battlefield
with their horns and their fur.
Speaker 16 (41:32):
They'll be like Maria, imagine liberal snowflakes at war?
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Will they be on the battle of you being like.
Speaker 15 (41:45):
Oh my god, this is.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Not a safe space.
Speaker 13 (41:51):
Why are there so many triggers?
Speaker 16 (41:57):
And the journal be like, show him are.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
That is the right pronoun? She goes on, But that
was the part I wanted you to hear. Absolutely funny,
right that you got people who otherwise might be liberal
who say, you know, it's the conservatives, they want to
defend them. Now, I'm not here to make that case
per se, but I am here to say that I
(42:24):
think it's very interesting because people oftentimes do prefer conservatives
in a number of situations. A couple of years back,
I remember did an article and maybe I'll find it
and share it with you, but it was about how women,
single women prefer to date conservative men as opposed to
(42:45):
liberal men, and for a number of reasons. They felt safer,
they felt more secure, they were willing to pay for
the date, and they had jobs, just to name a few.
But this stuff about going to war and bringing about
peace and being strong, it's not for the week. And
President Trump's been trying to get peace in him at
least for quite a while. He's getting closer to that.
(43:07):
He's also been trying to get peace in Russia, between
Russian and Ukraine. And I know that that's no easy task, right,
no small task, because everybody's going for broke. But I
guess my question is what will happen with this Ukraine deal?
(43:28):
How do we move forward with the Ukraine deal? Are
the are the United States, I guess coalition that we have,
are they going to be purely advisory. Are they going
to do training those that are on the ground in
the region, what do we do? How intensive does the
help get? And not saying I want it to be
(43:50):
very intensive, I'm just saying how deep does it go?
I don't know, but I do know that our friends
at Newsmaxs are reporting that Trumps at big progress in Ukraine.
Regarding the peace talks. President Trump signaled that earlier this
week Monday yesterday, that something good may be emerging from
(44:13):
the Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, while cautioning don't believe
it until you see it. And I think that's very
very good advice. Trump's commitment on true social came just
hours after Secretary of State Mark Or Rubio praised the
tremendous progress in negotiations on Sunday, Rubio saying, quote, it
(44:34):
is very possible that big progress is being made in
peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Don't believe it until
you see it, but something good just might be happening.
And that's a quote from Trump. So both the White
House and the Presidential quarters in Kiev have released a
(45:00):
joint statements that they produced saying that they have a
refined peace framework because after this first day on Sunday
of talks in Geneva, I think they felt that they
needed more of a control on the process. Rubio said.
(45:21):
It was probably the most productive day that we've had
in hammering out unresolved issues on Trump's peace proposal. And
of course US and Ukrainian officials are reviewing Trump's proposed
twenty eight point framework aimed at ending the war. Kiev
says it won't accept concessions that weaken its sovereignty, while
Russia's direct role in negotiations remains unclear. The discussions marked
(45:45):
the most serious diplomatic moment in this process in months,
and I got to say, I think I agree with
that because it has not been easy. Right, This has
been a very contentious process, and I, for the for one,
if I can share, I am just tapped out. I
(46:10):
don't know that there's much more that anybody could add
to the conversation, let alone me. Right, I think you
might need to have been there, Excuse me, I think
you may have need to have been there in order
to really accurately comment on what's going on. So anyway,
(46:31):
that's that. Now I'm curious to know what the over
and under is you know, how quickly before we actually
get resolution, how quickly before the United States gets uh?
I'm going to say it gets a win, right because
I think you know, once they get in that tunnel,
they're headed to where they got to go. It's a
(46:52):
bigger question of of how we get there, because I
do believe we're going to get there right, And I
don't know, I don't have all the answers to be frank,
but I'd love to know your thoughts. I want to
hear from each and every one of you, So go
ahead and you know, drop a comment or I was
(47:16):
gonna say, give me a call, but the phone setup
is not functional until the beginning of the year for
many reasons that I'll get into in the beginning of
the year. But I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys,
my amigos, my radio, film media, and I do want
to hear from you online. Though, I'd love to hear
from you online. Talk to me about why you think
(47:39):
this is being stalled and what we could do to
speed it up this peace process with Ukraine. You know,

Speaker 3 (48:34):
All right, migos, welcome back, heading into Thanksgiving week and
we'll be againting we'll be together excuse me, moneyana and
for the next few days. Right, we got some good stuff.
You have a flashback interview that I want to play
for you on Thanksgiving Day that I think you're really
gonna enjoy. And uh, of course Friday, back at it. Wednesday,
(48:57):
we'll have a brand new show for you, and of
course on Saturday, make sure you put it on your calendar.
I'll be on Newsmax TV. Make sure you log in
to check that out as well. We having some really
good conversation there and that was at Newsmax today and
we were talking about the fight club that's forming against
the Democrat minority leader in the Senate a guy named
(49:23):
Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is under the gun, and hey,
I think he brought this on himself, right, This is
a problem that he created entirely of his own will
volition and doing this is his issue and why because
he's weak. He's weak. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is weak. People
(49:47):
see that they're weak, and they're like, look, we're not
going to keep having these Republican fundraisers and letting them
raise all the money. We got to do something on
our side, right, So the Democrats are freaking out and
they say, you know what, Schumer is not the guy
to do it. He's not able, he's not ready. Maybe
he's not competent anymore. And so I'm with him. I
(50:07):
think that Schumer is at the end of his road.
I do believe that there was an election a couple
of years ago, right, And timing plays a role in
this stuff. A couple of years ago, Abigail Spamburger was
saying things like defund the police as a travesty. We
can't do that, we need to blah blah blah and
blah blah blah. Well that has changed right where she's now.
(50:33):
You know, I think more nuanced in her view, and
she's happy to call on some of her friends to
get her some of the policies and positions that she's
looking for, including AOC. Abigail Spamburger I always have trouble
saying that she called on AOC during this last campaign
for a campaign stop to help her, you know, build awareness,
(50:55):
raise money, bring people out, whatever the case is. So
you tell me, is the party going left or what?
When you're calling your first you're saying AOC and her
tax are rich and and horrible policies for immigrants. You know,
(51:17):
we don't want to do that. Right, This is an
Abigail Spamburger saying she doesn't like it. And when I
say horrible policies for immigrants, I mean allowing immigrants to
run rampant or you know, abolish ice and things like that. Right,
Spamberger said this is bad for crime, It was bad
for the communities where she's represented. So she said no,
thank you. Well that changed now Spamberger's running for governor
(51:40):
won and she did it by way of asking for
a final push from AOC. How about that. So it
goes to show you that the party, at least the
Democrat Party, the movement. The political left in our country
and the left in our audience has gone first to
the left, and that is interesting because I would love
(52:05):
to know the flip side of that, how much of
our audience has gone to the right or to the center.
I think that happens too. But very very interesting stuff
that's going on right now, Very interesting stuff. Now. Of
course I'm going to wrap up in a moment, but
I wouldn't want to do that without sharing a few
things with you. By the way, Doge, the Doge Committee
(52:28):
that Elon Musk put together, that was disbanded because I
guess you know, it's time came, which is why Elon
Musk left and the other members were there. They had
some outstanding reports, they picked those up and voil, as
I understand it, no more Doge. So does that mean
that we stop the cost cutting measures in Congress? Now?
(52:50):
I think the President has always got his finger on
what else he can cut and honestly on what else
he can add, right because I think he realizes that
America has certain needs that have been neglected for a
long time, and I think he's willing to do what's
necessary to try and get some of those things done.
If that makes sense at all anyway, I want to
(53:12):
continue with you, guys, and I say that in the
most British, most British voice I can say it now.
I mean, he goes. You know. Something that really is,
I guess a pet peeve of mine or something that
bothers me is the fact that you've got these Democrats
and they're doubling down on things, doubling down on whether
(53:37):
or not President Trump is actually issuing orders that are illegal.
They know that he's not right, so they're trying to
make it sound like, look, there's nothing wrong with us
reminding people of the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not kill?
What's wrong with me telling people thou shalt not kill? Well,
it kind of makes the presumption that you think somebody's
(53:58):
doing some killing, right, I think that's the accurate thing.
If I tell you, hey, don't hit him in the
head with a baseball bat, it doesn't mean that you're
actually hitting anybody in the head with a baseball bat,
but it does mean that I'm saying that, And people
might draw the inference that, wow, he said don't hit
somebody in the head with a baseball bat, And maybe
I should stop what I'm doing right. And I'm making
(54:22):
an extreme case here, but this is in fact how
this goes. Now you've had over the weekend, Martha Radditz
was pushing back on some of the members of Congress
and how they were sharing their stories, as well as
Amy Klobashar. Amy Klobashar was on the news and she
(54:44):
was asked, which of the illegal orders is it that
you're opposing the most, And of course it was a
true question because they were all there doing the same thing.
Listen to this.
Speaker 16 (54:54):
You know what the specific illegal acts are that your
democratic colleg were referring to there.
Speaker 17 (55:01):
Well, it's very clear in this code for the military
that you cannot follow unlawful orders, and you know that
would be I'll just use an example. Some of the
judges have now found in certain cities that it is
not legal to send in the national Guard, and those
national Guard members have come home, some of them are
still there, but if they're a commander, were to tell them, hey,
(55:23):
go out on the streets and do this, and that
that's not following the order that is in law. So
I just use that example. I'm sure my colleagues would
have others. But the key is this has been a
long time tenant of the American military, and it is
very clearly right there, and that is all our colleagues
were saying, and they have every right to say it.
(55:46):
They have served our country bravely. They know what they're
talking about. And then this president's answer was to basically
tell them you retweeted someone else saying they should be hanged.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
I get Amy Globashore weighing in here and again, not
able to make an example, right, not able to make
an example of an unlawful order because there isn't one. Now.
You also got Martha Radditt's ABC News asking the questions
and pushing back when she also realizes, hold on a second,
I don't think that actually happened.
Speaker 14 (56:19):
Listen to this, but I think it's important to know
it's not hypothetical.
Speaker 11 (56:24):
Right.
Speaker 14 (56:24):
This president in the last administration, his last administration, asked
his Secretary of Defense and his Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs to quote, shoot at their legs at unarmed protesters
in front of the White House that he wanted moved.
Speaker 17 (56:36):
Actually, I know, I know you're talking about Mark Esper's book.
Speaker 10 (56:39):
He didn't exactly say that.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
He didn't exactly say that, right, she's mischaracterizing what he said,
hoping nobody would catch it, hoping they would go along.
So kudos to you, Martha Raditt raddits, because the truth
is the truth said.
Speaker 17 (56:54):
The President suggested that, but they were never ordered to
do that.
Speaker 14 (56:57):
And he got out of the Oval office quickly that
he wasn't told to actually do it. And I give
him a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 3 (57:03):
Isn't it amazing how people will put words in your
mouth and create scenarios for you and say, yeah, no,
this was about to go down had he not done whatever.
I mean, let me tell you, it's the idea of
just slandering people at whichever side of the aisle you're on, right,
It's just not a good thing. It's not a good thing.
(57:25):
And I saw I'm grateful that there are places all
over the place where, you know, we don't have to
deal with some of these people, you know, places like church. Right,
You're not going to find too many of these people
in church. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Might have been over
to top. Forgive me for that last joke, but I
will I will say this. I think we're at the
(57:51):
tail end of this story. I hope we are. Because
it would be a shame to think that something's so crazy,
something so silly like trying to do the right thing
and make a suggestion, could be perverted and twisted and
(58:11):
manipulated into something that it's clearly not, just clearly not.
And I think it's high time we recognize things for
what they are and stop just presuming things right, you
know Tony Robbins, I saw a video with him where
he said, close your you know, look look around, look
for everything in here that's brown in color, and then
(58:31):
close your eyes. And then he asked him, all right,
read it all back to me, tell me what you see.
And the guy was very good, very descriptive. I see this,
not the other whatever, whatever. And then Tony Robbins says,
all right, now open your eyes and look for things
that are red. And he says, wow, I find even
more stuff. And he says, now, if I were to
ask if there was any red stuff in the room,
you'd say, I don't know. I was looking at the
(58:52):
brown stuff because that's what they were told to look at.
And that was such a powerfully for me because I said,
you know what, that's right. It makes a lot of
sense with the American flag yesterday, today, and forever more right,
once people get to know it and understand it, they
kind of embrace it. My hope is that they embrace it.
(59:13):
So anyway, a little food for a thought for you
there watching the clock. It's time for me to bid
you adio. I start a rosima. But you know what
I always say, take care, good night, and God bless
you America. And you got to stand for something, because
if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for anything.
I start, I'm Rich Valdez and this is America.

What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with aness
at riche Valdez on all of the social media. Happy Tuesday, everybody,
pleasure to be here, blessing to be with you, and
you can always check us out at richeveldest dot com
for anything you might have missed. But I want to
get into a couple of things because you know, America
(00:47):
is a wonderful place that we like to talk about
here on this program a lot. Our nation was born
from the ideas of the Enlightenment. God given natural rights
and they're just that these rights that are given by
the Creator by the government. This isn't a principle that's
based on an opinion or one that can be ignored,
because it's so foundational to the enterprise and the experiment
(01:10):
known as the United States. You just can't refute it
now after almost two hundred and fifty years, right, that's
we're coming up on two hundred fifty years this year.
We know that the experiment is just that it's exceptional.
But it only works if virtue is woven into the
fabric of everything we do collectively and individually. Of course,
(01:33):
we can't force compliance or virtue, because that would be
a utopian fantasy. But we can take heed to the
warnings of the framers of this great nation. One way
this was insured for us was a reliance on God
for providence, for protection, for peace. Lamentably, the ideas that
(01:58):
counter the exceptionalism of an Erica rely on godlessness and
immorality as the virtue of their movements. It's true that
there's been an unmooring of society that starts with attacking
that which makes us strong and cohesive, God, the family.
(02:20):
But the rights of the individual to worship, our right
to free speech, our right to life, our right to liberty,
the pursuit of happiness, and the protection of one's own
life is what James Madison wrote about. Those are those
fundamental tenets that keep this thing going. Yet here we
(02:40):
are today struggling to maintain that beautiful simplicity. You've got
a president that's being chastised for saying that sedition should
be punishable by death. Who would a thunk it? Right?
This is a a crazy situation. You know, we're still
(03:02):
managing the economy because of Biden's inflation that was out
of control. Everyone in Washington understands the basic causes of inflation,
yet they did nothing to avoid it, and in fact,
they caused that. They contributed to it. Right, everybody that
was drunk on spending printing more money. So obviously the
government devalues our currency and makes everything cost more for
(03:23):
you and me. They declared war on fossil fuel during
the Biden administration, shutting down pipelines, closing the h Anwar
oil field, stopping drilling leases. All of this did what
It caused the prices of everything to go up because
almost everything requires fossil fuel energy to produce. That's just
(03:43):
the fact. And they know that, and they say, we
got to get away from it. But how do you
do that? So now we've been spending huge sums of
money on tax dollars to extort American businesses to raise
wages by incentivizing individuals to do whatever it is that
(04:03):
they want. And this is not the way forward, right.
What we need to do is more of what Trump
is doing, incentivizing businesses to invest in our country, making
sure that America is still that last bastion of freedom,
of opportunity, of American dream that exists.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
A lot of people think, ah, the American dream that
was for people before. But I'll tell you this, I
still believe in this stuff. You know, when I was
a kid, I used to see Ronald Reagan come out
and he would talk about all sorts of things. And
I've got a clip. It's a little long, but man,
is it worth it. Listen to President Reagan talking about
his conversation with the Cuban, the Cuban who fled communism,
(04:48):
the Cuban who said, listen, if the United States goes under,
we've got nothing left. Check this out.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We're at war with the most dangerous enemy that has
ever faced mankind in his long clime, from this up
to the stars. And it's been said, if we lose
that war, and in so doing lose this way of
freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment
that those who had the most to lose did the
least to prevent its happening. Not too long ago, two
friends of mine were talking to a Cuban refugee, a
(05:16):
businessman who would escaped from Castro, And in the midst
of his story, one of my friends turned to the
other and said, we don't know how lucky we are,
And the Cuban stopped and said, how lucky you are.
I had some place to escape to. If we lose
freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is
the last stand on earth. Outside of its legitimate functions,
(05:37):
government does nothing as well or as economically as the
private sector of the economy. Well, now, if government planning
and welfare had the answer, and they've had almost thirty
years of it, shouldn't we expect government to read the
score to us once in a while. Yet, any time
you and I question the schemes of the do gooders
were denounced as being against their humanitarian goals. They say,
(06:00):
we're always against things, we're never for anything. Well, the
trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant.
It's just that they know so much that isn't so
These proliferating bureaus, with their thousands of regulations, have cost
us many of our constitutional safeguards. How many of us
realize that today federal agents can invade a man's property
without a warrant, They can impose a fine without a
(06:22):
formal hearing, let alone a trial by jury, and they
can seize and sell his property at auction to enforce
the payment of that fine. Those who would trade our
freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state have
told us they have a utopian solution of peace without victory.
They call their policy accommodation, and they say, if we'll
only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget
(06:43):
his evil ways and learn to love us. All who
oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say, we offer
simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a
simple answer, not an easy answer, but simple. We cannot,
but by our security, our freedom from the threat of
the bomb, by committing an immorality so great as saying
(07:06):
to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the iron curtain,
give up your dreams of freedom, because to save our
own skins, we're willing to make a deal with your
slave masters. Admittedly, there's a risk in any course we
follow other than this, But every lesson of history tells
us that the greater risk lies in appeasement. And this
is the specter our well meaning liberal friends refuse to
(07:27):
face that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it
gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight
or surrender. If nothing in life is worth dying for?
When did this begin just in the face of this enemy?
Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to
live in slavery under the Pharaohs? Should Christ have refused
(07:48):
the cross? Should the patriots at Conquered Bridge have thrown
down their guns and refuse.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
To fire the shot heard round the world?
Speaker 6 (07:55):
The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored
dead who gave their life to stop the advance of
the Nazis didn't die in vain. Where then, is the
road to peace? Well, it's a simple answer. After all,
you and I have the courage to say to our
enemies there is a price we will not pay. There
is a point beyond which they must not advance. You
(08:18):
and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for
our children, This the last best hope of men on earth,
or we'll sentence them to take the last step into
a thousand years of darkness.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
That is a clip from President Reagan. And let me
tell you, if that doesn't get you going, I don't
know what will. He's talking about protecting the American dreams,
something that we need to do today, something that the
radical left in our political establishment seems to be attacking
on a regular basis. Whether it's the family, whether it's
(08:50):
the free market, whether it's traditional sports, you name it.
Reagan nailed it in his conversation with the Q. If
we fall, where does anybody else go? This is the
world's last bastion of freedom. And I know people want
to criticize America all this is freedom? What Denmark Denmark healthcares?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
All?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Right, right, you got Bernie Sanders and somebody like him.
But the reality is this is it. We are the
last best hope. So what are we going to do?
What are we prepared to do? What are we willing
to do to advance the cause of liberty in America.
I'll leave that question with you as we head into
Thanksgiving week, but I will ask you to keep it
(09:32):
locked right here because there's more to come straight ahead.
I'm Rich Valdez.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
This is America.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Podcasts now Richiev. You're on the air with a Nation

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oh he's so had some what's his day?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Rich Veldez?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich valdesk keeping the
company this Tuesday night, heading into Thanksgiving Eve, heading into
Thanksgiving week, and I want to get into something I
meant to get into yesterday. There's a bunch of things
I want to talk about, right. I wanted to get into,
of course, this overarching theme that I allowed President Reagan
to get into because who could do it better than him,
which is protecting America and our virtue. But there's also
(10:33):
fake meat, right, Remember I talked about the three D
grown meat at the Campbell's factory. That secret audio came
out yesterday. I mentioned it, but I didn't play the
audio for You're going to do that today as promised.
There's also the joy ride gone bad with people who
were out there popping donuts in Queens New York on
a public street, somebody can plain. Next thing, you know,
they got beat up and then their car got set
(10:56):
on fire. That was a wild story. We got some
more audio on that that I want you to hear,
and of course plenty more going on. The contentious situation
with Ukraine and Russia continues to go back and forth,
but it seems like progress is being made. Secretary of
Rubio saying that we are in a better place than
we were before and they see some promise there, and
(11:19):
I think that's a good thing. I really do. But
I want to get into a particular audio clip in
a moment, but before I do, I want to remind
everybody that we have these conversations ay, because I want
(11:40):
you to be informed and you know, understand my take
on things. You don't have to necessarily agree with me,
but I want you to be aware of these things.
And that's why I play the clips the way I do.
I give you the longer version of the clip just
so that you can hear everything in context, because I
think that's important. Now. Something I want to get into
(12:02):
right now is the progress that is being made with
respect to the war in Russia. Now I know that
it's been back and forth, and there's been a lot
to discuss, but I think it's important that we discuss that.
It's important that we talk about the political nature of
(12:22):
what's happening, the economy and so many other things. And
of course, one of my favorites, so I should say
my least favorite, my least favorite Congress women from the
Bronx and Queens, AOC all out crazy alexandri Casio Cortez
who says that we've got a whole lot of instability
(12:43):
going on. Listen to this.
Speaker 8 (12:45):
To be honest, the president's remarks are I think indicate
a level of instability. It's not just shocking, it's not
just offensive. It's bizarre, it is erratic, it's volatile, and
I think it indicates a mental state that we should
(13:07):
all be questioning right now, whether that's emotional or mental,
what have you. It is not normal to make these accusations,
it is not normal to invoke these kinds of threats
of violence, and it's also not normal to also dramatically misquote,
as Carolyn leave Ittt was doing. What these members of
Congress said, they made a very clear message to US
(13:31):
service members, which is that you do not have to
obey in illegal order. And I think that's an important
message to reiterate because this administration seems to be increasingly
trying to go down that path.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Now that's AOC again saying that it's wrong for President
Trump to talk about the punishment for seditious conspiracy being
death because why well, because she thinks it's wrong. She
doesn't like it. You think ed Trump Beto cares about that?
Do you think any of these people cared about this?
Now I could tell you this. I'm gonna give a
little a piece of advice here. I don't claim to
(14:07):
be smarter than anybody, but if I was ed Trump
beat them, I would say, because he knows they're gonna
freak out. And I think part of that's his strategy, right.
I think part of that he says, you know what,
I'm gonna say this, and they're gonna freak out. They're
gonna talk about it for days, and it keeps him
as the number one headline every day. Right. I think
people tend to say, oh my gosh, I used to
like this show, but they became very political, or I
(14:27):
used to like this but it became very political. Now.
The problem is that the media is fascinated with Trump,
so there is no other news except for the first
three to five stories being Trump all the time. So
I think what happens here is President Trump. I think
my recommendation, if I were, you know, in the White
House press shop, I would say, mister President, I think
(14:49):
that it's imperative that you go along with this, right.
So when AOC puts something like that out, you retweet it,
you read truth it and say, totally see, I agree.
Speaker 9 (15:01):
Not a single service member, not a single one, should
ever follow an unlawful order. We're not here for unlawful orders, folks.
Matter of fact, I give the most lawful orders, lawful
orders or what I do best, bigly, bigly lawful.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Orders, and just hammer down that he agrees nobody should
follow unlawful orders. And in fact, if you need some
help deciphering the orders, we're gonna have you know, our
team of people here, you know, and make a joke
of it and flip it back on them, because this,
I think is what in you know, in the people
find endearing and they go, you know, that's the el
(15:40):
trumpito that I know in love. Now I know that
he's not necessarily looking to win every popularity contest, But
the left seems to really get away with things because
of the sheer numbers of the people they have in
big blue states. So they say things like, oh my gosh,
Trump did this, and everybody's freaking out. When I guess
the rest of the world, the rest of the country
look at this and they say, well, as politics as usual,
(16:01):
you're gonna have politicians that disagree. Not everybody's gonna, you know,
think the same way. You get to say, munch have
the same shoe size, right, just doesn't work that way.
So to that AOC, I say, hey, I think the
President agrees with you. I think I agree with you.
I think all of us agree with you. No one
should follow any illegal order. The bigger question is why
(16:21):
are you and your Democrat friends pretending that there are
illegal orders going on to begin with? Why is that
even happening? Why are you trying to create instability? Why
are you trying to sabotage that which is succeeding. That
would be my question to l Congista AOC. Now, I
want to get into something else. Let me see if
(16:42):
it's queued up already or if not, we'll get it
queued up during the break let me see now, is
this it stand by No, it's coming close. But imagine that.
Imagine being in a meeting and having a conversation with
your boss and explaining, Look, you're telling us we're selling soup,
but I can't say we're selling soup. But any good faith,
(17:04):
this meat is being created on a three D printer. Now,
I don't know how real that is. I can't imagine
eating a piece of meat that was grown on a
three D printer. And I am a connoisewer when it
comes to different cuts of steak and whatnot, right like
the Porterhouse, the Ribbi, the Tomahawk Ribbui. So I wonder
(17:25):
if you've heard this story. You know Bill Gates was
famous for talking about fake meat, and now you've got
Campbell's potentially caught up in drama with fake meat. So
we're going to get into that straight ahead, plus your
thoughts and opinions if you want to go ahead and
tweet at me or hit you any of the social
media dropping a comment. I've seen a lot of great comments.
(17:47):
By the way, thank you very much for all the
love and support that's out there. I do appreciate it.
At Rich Valdes on all of the social media at
Rich Valdes, and of course our comments are open looking
forward to your thoughts on this. Don't go anywhere. I'm
Rich Faldes.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
This is America. This is America.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
With programs like America at Night with Rich Valdez and
Donald Trump is a guest. Who's gonna watch late night TV?
Come on?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Who would want to?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
I want to listen to you Rich all the time?
All right, he goes. Welcome back, Rich VALDESK keeping your
company tonight. Uh, this is America at Rich Valdes. You
can find me at richvaldest dot com, streaming on iHeartRadio,
and in a couple other places. I'll keep you posted
as that begins to expand. But I want to direct
your attention to this story because, of course, the background
(18:49):
on this is Bill Gates. Right, Bill Gates. He's the
founder of Microsoft. You know you've heard of him before, obviously,
and he famously has talked about lots of interesting things.
But I want you to hear a sample of the
elitism of how you know, how carried away? I think
(19:15):
people like him get listen to this.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
Six percent of global emissions are cows who burp and
fart methane to an extreme.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Degree six percent. Six percent, So listen to the solution free.
Speaker 10 (19:32):
You can either fix the cows to stop them doing that,
or you can make beef without the cow, and both
of those, you know, will be pursued to see which
one can lead to the best product in terms of taste, health,
and cost.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Six percent. So listen to this. So Bill Gates says
we're gonna have to make fake meat because six percent
of global emissions come from cow farts. What about saying, listen,
ninety four percent of emissions come from other places. Maybe
we should deal with that instead of making fake meat.
(20:10):
I mean, that's just a thought, mister Gates. I'm not
nearly as smart as you. I'm definitely not as rich
as you. But wow, well, mister Gates made that comment
a while back, and some people are taking it seriously
because now we've got reports that fake meat is actually
a thing, and this is pretty scary stuff.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
You've got the vice president of Campbell's soup company, Martin Ballely,
He's been you know, all over the place on the news.
He exploded in a meeting over the company using bioengineered ingredients,
including fake meat that comes from a three D printer,
and now, of course the media is trying to smear him,
saying he's the crazy instead of them being the crazies
(20:53):
for using the fake meat. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
A former Campbell's Soup company employee is taking legal action
against the food giants, and he's making some explosive allegations
about one of its top executives.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Good evening, and thanks for joining us at six.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
I'm Ty Steele, I'm Kimberly Gill. Those allegations are now
at the center of a lawsuit claiming the company's vice
president went on an hour long tie rade attacking the
company's products and employees before taking aim at its customers.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
And the former employee recorded it all.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
Eric Erickson shares that recording and what the company is
saying about it.
Speaker 13 (21:27):
We have for four people, and that's just part of
an over an hour long rant, says former security analyst
for Campbell's, Robert Garza of Monroe.
Speaker 14 (21:39):
I don't buy it's fairly anymore.
Speaker 11 (21:42):
So althy now that I don't what the Senate even
in a soup.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I look at it.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
You ap bio engineered me.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I don't want to eat a piece of chicken. It
came from a three D printer.
Speaker 13 (21:54):
You The recording allegedly of Campbell's VP and Chief Information
Security Officer, Martin Bell.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
He has no filter.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
Bally, along with another supervisor and Campbell's suit company, named
in a lawsuit filed Thursday, the suit claiming Bally made
racist remarks, admits to coming to work high and Garza
fired for coming forward.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
What do you think about the things that he was saying?
Speaker 13 (22:18):
Oh, I just just appeared discuss Garza says he usually
worked remotely for Campbell's headquarters based in Camden, New Jersey,
but thinking he'd be discussing his salary with Bally, he
says the recording taken in person at a restaurant. Garza
says he felt sick after the rant, deciding to go
(22:40):
to his direct supervisor in January, keeping the recordings to himself.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Now, of course, the media is going in a certain
direction here, and they want to make this guy out
to be the worst thing ever. And I'm not here
to defend the guy. I'm here to talk about the
fake meat. They seem to be glossing over the fake meat.
I hope they bring it back to the fake meat,
because I don't care if he's beaten people up, and
I mean, hey, listen, not everybody's nice, right. Sometimes you
get a boss that's a jerk. I get that. But
(23:08):
do you get a boss that's a jerk and talks
about fake meat made in a three D printer? I
don't think that happens every day. Go ahead play the tape.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Ever had any disciplinary action, they had never written them
up for poor work performance.
Speaker 13 (23:21):
Garza says, no one at Campbell's ever followed up, and
it's taken him ten months to find a new job,
calling the way the can Soup company handled it simply terrible.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
They have a model, you know, like we treat you
like family.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know here at Campbell's, soon'll come work for us,
you know where we cheer our employees like family.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
That's that's not the case.
Speaker 13 (23:42):
We did just receive a statement from Campbell's.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
It says, quote.
Speaker 13 (23:45):
If accurate, the comments and the recording are unacceptable. They
do not reflect our values and the culture of our company.
We are actively investigating this manner.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So Campbell's Soup now in peril. Right Florida State of
Florida's coming after them after the secret audio came out,
saying hey, we might have to shut you guys down.
Florida's attorney general said he will shut down violators of
the state's law on lab grown meat after launching an
investigation into Campbell's over a secret recording of the executive
(24:18):
you just heard saying, quote, we don't do the fake
lab grown meat here in Florida. We'll enforce the law
and shut it down. Florida Attorney General James Utemeyer said
that on X, also known as Twitter, yout meyer or
up meyer, however you want to pronounce that, said that
the state's Consumer Protection Division is launching an investigation into
(24:39):
the company, and WDV is broadcasting portions of the recording,
saying that the speaker, identified as Campbell's vice president and
chief information security officer Martin Valley, has heard saying we
have crap for effing poor people who buys our crap,
blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 15 (24:58):
And.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Continuing saying, I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's
not healthy now that I know that we have what
the F is in it? According to the person on
the audio, which they believe to be the vice president,
I just described to you. The speaker also referenced bio
engineered meat, saying I don't want to eat an e
fing piece of chicken that came from a three D printer?
(25:21):
Who does, sir, who does? And listen, I've had some
good tofu in the past, but it's not ideal, right,
It's just not good for you, I believe. Anyway, we
use one hundred percent real chicken in our soups. James Reagan,
the director of external communications at Campbell's, said to Newsweek,
the chicken and the meat from that chicken comes from
(25:43):
law trusted USDA approved us suppliers and meets our high
quality standards. All of our soups are made with no
antibiotics ever, and that's good for their chicken meat. Any
claims to the contrary are completely false. Other false claims
that were made today cash Battel, the media going out
(26:04):
there saying, oh, by the way, we saw cash Battel,
and we think he's on his way out and Trompito's
going to be getting rid of him, and blah blah
blah blah blah. And what happened. As soon as the
uh the traffic cleared up a little bit, people started moving.
Oh my goodness, Caroline Levitt brought this over to the
President saying, hey, did you hear these things about Cash Battel,
(26:27):
And the President immediately shut this down, saying, ha ha ha,
not happening, and good for him and good for them. Right.
I think Cash Hotel has an enormous lift on his hands,
this massive classified file. You've also got all sorts of things, right,
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This has been one of
(26:49):
the busier times for an FBI director. And I think
Cash Hotel's handling it pretty well. So when President Trump said, hey,
you know what, let's take a picture, let's send selfie.
Let's make sure you know people know that this is fake,
phony and fraud. You gotta love a boss like that.
I think you really do that not only looks at
you know, the output that you're putting out, but overall
(27:12):
the entirety of the cumulative or collective work, project or product,
I should say, And I think that's what it's all about.
It's about nailing it each and every time, you know,
the whole team winning, not just one person winning. So
I love that. Anyway, there is more to come. Straight ahead,
(27:33):
we will continue the conversation. I want to let you
know what's going on with Venezuela. A little update on that.
While Nico las Malulo is dancing on the stage acting
like a fool, doing the makarena and playing, Simon says, well, yes,
he might be taking a call from El Trumpito. Then
all this magnus the forty fifth and forty seventh president
(27:55):
of these United States. And this is going to be
an interesting one because I think that Venezuela might be
running out of steam. Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
This is America.
Speaker 4 (28:11):

company this evening. If you want to check me out,
feel free richbaldesk dot com. Go to the website, learn
a little bit about what is going on and how
you can check out the show. Of course, we're getting
close to Black Friday. I do expect to be putting
on social media. If you're interested, we're going to be
(28:59):
putting a couple of signature pieces of merchandise that people
have asked for over the years. People keep asking for
the camouflage with American flag mixed liberty loving Latino hat.
The cap kind of looks like a mega hat, but
it's camouflage with the American flag on it. This was
a staple for us early on in the show and
people loved it. They sold out. I ordered more and
(29:21):
never got them, so I'm going to make sure we
get them for the upcoming Black Friday, as well as
a couple of signature T shirts that I think you're
just going to enjoy, which have key phrases from the show.
So those will be available on social media, not at
richveldesk dot com, at least not at this point, but
(29:42):
they're available, so if you want to buy, I want
to give it to you one of your favorite people
that loves this show. Amen, Praise God, halleluja. Now we
shall continue. Now, you heard Bill Gates, you heard about
the lab grown stuff. You've heard a number of things,
quite frank. But one of the things that I think
is important for us to remember is that sometimes people say, listen,
(30:09):
you're nuts, You're absolutely crazy. If you think this is
how it works, but some people are actually losing their
their minds. And you know, mental health is a focus
not only just during the holidays, but here on this program.
And why wouldn't I play a clip that A talks
(30:35):
about this as America and B It just makes a
whole lot of sense. Listen to this.
Speaker 15 (30:44):
A em ere, I see.
Speaker 11 (30:56):
That's where yet? Okay, that's where yet? Because maybe some
of y'all got confused of where you landed. Maybe you know,
they messed up the ticket or something like that. Maybe
you thought you was going somewhere else. But but this
is where you at.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
You this is America.
Speaker 11 (31:12):
Okay. Now, we've never cared about you know, whether it
was Buddha or or or some deities or any that
America's We've never cared. Okay, whether you whether you whether
you get down on the at the north or south
at twelve o'clock, whether you do it at three o'clock
or whatever, we don't care. We never care. Some people
don't believe in God at all. Okay, that's your personal
(31:33):
situation with your own eternal salvation. We don't care about that, right,
But what we're not gonna do is sit back and
have you strong arm a whole and make us do
what you Oh no, this is America, Jack, Now, now
we have a problem. Now we are in a situation. Now, okay,
(31:54):
and let me tell you something, You Republicans, you better
get the molasses out your ass.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
Now.
Speaker 11 (32:00):
I'm trying to tell you now because these people done
came in through the back door, the side door. Somebody
didn't let the window open. They coming in through the roof,
trying to just rare page all of Now we gotta
worry about walking over people in the middle of the
side gulf at four o'clock in the afternoon because they
got rugs and everything else out said, Hey man, listen,
(32:22):
let me tell you something. This is the United States
of America. Now, you better get that through your head.
And it seems to me that Americans need to get
that through their head first. You so busy trying to
just welcome everybody. Oh, this is the melting pot of cultures. Yeah,
(32:42):
but it's a melting pot of cultures in America's kitchen.
Understand Now, I don't know what you're gonna do. I
don't know how you're gonna do it, but you better
figure it out because I can tell you right now,
I'm not wearing nothing over my head. So I'm just
making that announcement to you now. I'm not wearing anything
over my head on my ankles. Oh well, you can't
(33:05):
show your face, your fingernails and this, that and the
other or whatever it is or whatever. I'm not doing
nothing that I don't want to do because I'm in America, hope. Okay,
So somebody better do something, and you better get it
done fast because I'm not.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (33:22):
Don't don't touch me, don't call my name, don't face
shit to me.
Speaker 15 (33:25):
Oh, because the answer is no.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
That's Meghan mcglover and she's weighing in online about the
push towards cultural acceptance of religions that are contrary to
many religions that are well established here in the West.
In particular, she's talking about not putting something on her head.
(33:52):
That's a reference to the hit job to Islam, and
not that I'm a defender of Islam. I'm a defender
of Christianity and they don't I think, have to be
mutually exclusive per se. But for the sake of absolutism
in the Christian faith, they aren't right. It's not with Islam,
it's any other faith, right. Christianity is an absolutist thing,
(34:14):
and I'm an absolutist adherent. But what I'll say to
her is you're not alone. There's a lot of people
speaking up against the push towards cultural acceptance of Islam.
And I don't mean accepting people for their religion. We've
been living amongst Muslims for a long time. Many of
(34:36):
us have said, hello, how are you have a good weekend?
Take care? Oh, it's your holiday, super happy Ramadan? Happy, whatever? Right,
all those things have happened. It's when the conversation ends.
Like Charlie Kirk said that things get out of control,
and that was true. When things stop, when people no
(34:56):
longer are having the lighthearted conversations but are saying, you know,
f you, I've got somewhere to go. This is not cool.
Blah blah blah. Now, my friends Houston, we have a problem.
So I wonder when I look at this, I wonder
to myself, what is the story here?
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
What ends up happening? What are we going to do?
How do we do this? Well? I know that President
Trump recently revoked the temporary protected status of people coming
from Somalia, and a couple other places in not Dearborn, Michigan,
but in Minnesota where they had that big population, that
(35:39):
big Somali population. And I have to say, this is
something that if it was done appropriately and accurately within
the confines of the law, is his right. If it wasn't,
then it wasn't. But there's few things that the president
can do, like I just describe administrative, clerical things that
are not going to be their fault per se. Right,
(36:02):
there's a margin for error, at least there should be
if there isn't one. And I think he's also not
coming as a person soliciting a donation, right, he's soliciting advice.
He's soliciting to rub off some influence, gain some influence,
So he's not looking for the latter. So that being said,
(36:28):
this I think opens a situation, right, opens an opportunity
for those that are trying to have this conversation and
have it earnestly saying you know what's going on here, Right,
You've got Trump that's always maligned in the media, and
he's not trying to create a Muslim band. He's trying
to protect America, protect Western culture, protect the American way
(36:52):
of life that seems to be under threat because of
mass migration that would never have been legal but for
Joe Biden. So what does one do? What is the
proverbial next step? I wish I had the answer right
This is one of those rhetoricals on on my end,
(37:15):
I think that I can't be mad at somebody for
succeeding in their religious conquest, but for myself for not
doing better in my own. So that's kind of where
I fall on this. But we'll continue to talk about it,
and you know, put the facts out there as best
(37:36):
as we can. Now, let me see, I think there
was another thing I wanted to bring to you, but
let me regroup. I'm going to take a pause right here.
We're going to come right back. Don't go anywhere, folks,
Rich Valdesk at Rich Valdesk with an s on all
of the social media, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 7 (37:52):

Speaker 16 (38:02):
Under President Trump, America's laws, order and families will be protected.
These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught
because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. If you are
here illegally, your next President Trump has a clear message
(38:40):
for those that are in our country illegally. Leave now.
If you don't, we will find you and we will
deport you. You will never.

The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
to speak with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 5 (39:38):
Oh, very good.
Speaker 3 (39:43):
The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
of sofrito.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
Now here's Rich Valdez.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
All right, he goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez. Keeping your
company heading into Thanksgiving week And and of course, a
couple of things I want to get to. I always
got something up my sleeve over here, and one of
the things that I wanted to get into tonight was
this clip of audio. Let me see if I could
pull it up real quick, because I thought it was interesting.
(40:14):
And let's see. Oh this is a good one. Here,
hold on, bear with me, if I could find it
on my desktop. Oh it's a funny one. Yeah. So
this one is a comedian and she is very very
very funny. This is a good one. This is a
(40:35):
woman named Annie Howell, who's stand up comedian, and she
makes the analogy of who she thinks would be better.
Should it's more of a dichotomy, should it be the
(40:55):
Democrats that protect the country or Republicans? And her response, well,
I mean there's a reason she's a comedian. It is
literally hysterical in my opinion. God, play the tape either.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
Right.
Speaker 17 (41:10):
They're saying we should separate liberals from one country conservatives
another country.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
And when I heard that, I was like, oh no,
we can't do that.
Speaker 16 (41:18):
If America ever goes to war, I want.
Speaker 17 (41:20):
Conservatives defending us, right, those guys that storm the capitol,
that's who I want fighting for this country.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
Have you seen the photos they be on the battlefield
with their horns and their fur.
Speaker 16 (41:32):
They'll be like Maria, imagine liberal snowflakes at war?
Speaker 3 (41:42):
Will they be on the battle of you being like.
Speaker 15 (41:45):
Oh my god, this is.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Not a safe space.
Speaker 13 (41:51):
Why are there so many triggers?
Speaker 16 (41:57):
And the journal be like, show him are.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
That is the right pronoun? She goes on, But that
was the part I wanted you to hear. Absolutely funny,
right that you got people who otherwise might be liberal
who say, you know, it's the conservatives, they want to
defend them. Now, I'm not here to make that case
per se, but I am here to say that I
(42:24):
think it's very interesting because people oftentimes do prefer conservatives
in a number of situations. A couple of years back,
I remember did an article and maybe I'll find it
and share it with you, but it was about how women,
single women prefer to date conservative men as opposed to
(42:45):
liberal men, and for a number of reasons. They felt safer,
they felt more secure, they were willing to pay for
the date, and they had jobs, just to name a few.
But this stuff about going to war and bringing about
peace and being strong, it's not for the week. And
President Trump's been trying to get peace in him at
least for quite a while. He's getting closer to that.
(43:07):
He's also been trying to get peace in Russia, between
Russian and Ukraine. And I know that that's no easy task, right,
no small task, because everybody's going for broke. But I
guess my question is what will happen with this Ukraine deal?
(43:28):
How do we move forward with the Ukraine deal? Are
the are the United States, I guess coalition that we have,
are they going to be purely advisory. Are they going
to do training those that are on the ground in
the region, what do we do? How intensive does the
help get? And not saying I want it to be
(43:50):
very intensive, I'm just saying how deep does it go?
I don't know, but I do know that our friends
at Newsmaxs are reporting that Trumps at big progress in Ukraine.
Regarding the peace talks. President Trump signaled that earlier this
week Monday yesterday, that something good may be emerging from
(44:13):
the Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, while cautioning don't believe
it until you see it. And I think that's very
very good advice. Trump's commitment on true social came just
hours after Secretary of State Mark Or Rubio praised the
tremendous progress in negotiations on Sunday, Rubio saying, quote, it
(44:34):
is very possible that big progress is being made in
peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. Don't believe it until
you see it, but something good just might be happening.
And that's a quote from Trump. So both the White
House and the Presidential quarters in Kiev have released a
(45:00):
joint statements that they produced saying that they have a
refined peace framework because after this first day on Sunday
of talks in Geneva, I think they felt that they
needed more of a control on the process. Rubio said.
(45:21):
It was probably the most productive day that we've had
in hammering out unresolved issues on Trump's peace proposal. And
of course US and Ukrainian officials are reviewing Trump's proposed
twenty eight point framework aimed at ending the war. Kiev
says it won't accept concessions that weaken its sovereignty, while
Russia's direct role in negotiations remains unclear. The discussions marked
(45:45):
the most serious diplomatic moment in this process in months,
and I got to say, I think I agree with
that because it has not been easy. Right, This has
been a very contentious process, and I, for the for one,
if I can share, I am just tapped out. I
(46:10):
don't know that there's much more that anybody could add
to the conversation, let alone me. Right, I think you
might need to have been there, Excuse me, I think
you may have need to have been there in order
to really accurately comment on what's going on. So anyway,
(46:31):
that's that. Now I'm curious to know what the over
and under is you know, how quickly before we actually
get resolution, how quickly before the United States gets uh?
I'm going to say it gets a win, right because
I think you know, once they get in that tunnel,
they're headed to where they got to go. It's a
(46:52):
bigger question of of how we get there, because I
do believe we're going to get there right, And I
don't know, I don't have all the answers to be frank,
but I'd love to know your thoughts. I want to
hear from each and every one of you, So go
ahead and you know, drop a comment or I was
(47:16):
gonna say, give me a call, but the phone setup
is not functional until the beginning of the year for
many reasons that I'll get into in the beginning of
the year. But I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys,
my amigos, my radio, film media, and I do want
to hear from you online. Though, I'd love to hear
from you online. Talk to me about why you think
(47:39):
this is being stalled and what we could do to
speed it up this peace process with Ukraine. You know,

Speaker 3 (48:34):
All right, migos, welcome back, heading into Thanksgiving week and
we'll be againting we'll be together excuse me, moneyana and
for the next few days. Right, we got some good stuff.
You have a flashback interview that I want to play
for you on Thanksgiving Day that I think you're really
gonna enjoy. And uh, of course Friday, back at it. Wednesday,
(48:57):
we'll have a brand new show for you, and of
course on Saturday, make sure you put it on your calendar.
I'll be on Newsmax TV. Make sure you log in
to check that out as well. We having some really
good conversation there and that was at Newsmax today and
we were talking about the fight club that's forming against
the Democrat minority leader in the Senate a guy named
(49:23):
Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is under the gun, and hey,
I think he brought this on himself, right, This is
a problem that he created entirely of his own will
volition and doing this is his issue and why because
he's weak. He's weak. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is weak. People
(49:47):
see that they're weak, and they're like, look, we're not
going to keep having these Republican fundraisers and letting them
raise all the money. We got to do something on
our side, right, So the Democrats are freaking out and
they say, you know what, Schumer is not the guy
to do it. He's not able, he's not ready. Maybe
he's not competent anymore. And so I'm with him. I
(50:07):
think that Schumer is at the end of his road.
I do believe that there was an election a couple
of years ago, right, And timing plays a role in
this stuff. A couple of years ago, Abigail Spamburger was
saying things like defund the police as a travesty. We
can't do that, we need to blah blah blah and
blah blah blah. Well that has changed right where she's now.
(50:33):
You know, I think more nuanced in her view, and
she's happy to call on some of her friends to
get her some of the policies and positions that she's
looking for, including AOC. Abigail Spamburger I always have trouble
saying that she called on AOC during this last campaign
for a campaign stop to help her, you know, build awareness,
(50:55):
raise money, bring people out, whatever the case is. So
you tell me, is the party going left or what?
When you're calling your first you're saying AOC and her
tax are rich and and horrible policies for immigrants. You know,
(51:17):
we don't want to do that. Right, This is an
Abigail Spamburger saying she doesn't like it. And when I
say horrible policies for immigrants, I mean allowing immigrants to
run rampant or you know, abolish ice and things like that. Right,
Spamberger said this is bad for crime, It was bad
for the communities where she's represented. So she said no,
thank you. Well that changed now Spamberger's running for governor
(51:40):
won and she did it by way of asking for
a final push from AOC. How about that. So it
goes to show you that the party, at least the
Democrat Party, the movement. The political left in our country
and the left in our audience has gone first to
the left, and that is interesting because I would love
(52:05):
to know the flip side of that, how much of
our audience has gone to the right or to the center.
I think that happens too. But very very interesting stuff
that's going on right now, Very interesting stuff. Now. Of
course I'm going to wrap up in a moment, but
I wouldn't want to do that without sharing a few
things with you. By the way, Doge, the Doge Committee
(52:28):
that Elon Musk put together, that was disbanded because I
guess you know, it's time came, which is why Elon
Musk left and the other members were there. They had
some outstanding reports, they picked those up and voil, as
I understand it, no more Doge. So does that mean
that we stop the cost cutting measures in Congress? Now?
(52:50):
I think the President has always got his finger on
what else he can cut and honestly on what else
he can add, right because I think he realizes that
America has certain needs that have been neglected for a
long time, and I think he's willing to do what's
necessary to try and get some of those things done.
If that makes sense at all anyway, I want to
(53:12):
continue with you, guys, and I say that in the
most British, most British voice I can say it now.
I mean, he goes. You know. Something that really is,
I guess a pet peeve of mine or something that
bothers me is the fact that you've got these Democrats
and they're doubling down on things, doubling down on whether
(53:37):
or not President Trump is actually issuing orders that are illegal.
They know that he's not right, so they're trying to
make it sound like, look, there's nothing wrong with us
reminding people of the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not kill?
What's wrong with me telling people thou shalt not kill? Well,
it kind of makes the presumption that you think somebody's
(53:58):
doing some killing, right, I think that's the accurate thing.
If I tell you, hey, don't hit him in the
head with a baseball bat, it doesn't mean that you're
actually hitting anybody in the head with a baseball bat,
but it does mean that I'm saying that, And people
might draw the inference that, wow, he said don't hit
somebody in the head with a baseball bat, And maybe
I should stop what I'm doing right. And I'm making
(54:22):
an extreme case here, but this is in fact how
this goes. Now you've had over the weekend, Martha Radditz
was pushing back on some of the members of Congress
and how they were sharing their stories, as well as
Amy Klobashar. Amy Klobashar was on the news and she
(54:44):
was asked, which of the illegal orders is it that
you're opposing the most, And of course it was a
true question because they were all there doing the same thing.
Listen to this.
Speaker 16 (54:54):
You know what the specific illegal acts are that your
democratic colleg were referring to there.
Speaker 17 (55:01):
Well, it's very clear in this code for the military
that you cannot follow unlawful orders, and you know that
would be I'll just use an example. Some of the
judges have now found in certain cities that it is
not legal to send in the national Guard, and those
national Guard members have come home, some of them are
still there, but if they're a commander, were to tell them, hey,
(55:23):
go out on the streets and do this, and that
that's not following the order that is in law. So
I just use that example. I'm sure my colleagues would
have others. But the key is this has been a
long time tenant of the American military, and it is
very clearly right there, and that is all our colleagues
were saying, and they have every right to say it.
(55:46):
They have served our country bravely. They know what they're
talking about. And then this president's answer was to basically
tell them you retweeted someone else saying they should be hanged.
Speaker 3 (55:57):
I get Amy Globashore weighing in here and again, not
able to make an example, right, not able to make
an example of an unlawful order because there isn't one. Now.
You also got Martha Radditt's ABC News asking the questions
and pushing back when she also realizes, hold on a second,
I don't think that actually happened.
Speaker 14 (56:19):
Listen to this, but I think it's important to know
it's not hypothetical.
Speaker 11 (56:24):
Right.
Speaker 14 (56:24):
This president in the last administration, his last administration, asked
his Secretary of Defense and his Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs to quote, shoot at their legs at unarmed protesters
in front of the White House that he wanted moved.
Speaker 17 (56:36):
Actually, I know, I know you're talking about Mark Esper's book.
Speaker 10 (56:39):
He didn't exactly say that.
Speaker 3 (56:40):
He didn't exactly say that, right, she's mischaracterizing what he said,
hoping nobody would catch it, hoping they would go along.
So kudos to you, Martha Raditt raddits, because the truth
is the truth said.
Speaker 17 (56:54):
The President suggested that, but they were never ordered to
do that.
Speaker 14 (56:57):
And he got out of the Oval office quickly that
he wasn't told to actually do it. And I give
him a lot of credit for that.
Speaker 3 (57:03):
Isn't it amazing how people will put words in your
mouth and create scenarios for you and say, yeah, no,
this was about to go down had he not done whatever.
I mean, let me tell you, it's the idea of
just slandering people at whichever side of the aisle you're on, right,
It's just not a good thing. It's not a good thing.
(57:25):
And I saw I'm grateful that there are places all
over the place where, you know, we don't have to
deal with some of these people, you know, places like church. Right,
You're not going to find too many of these people
in church. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Might have been over
to top. Forgive me for that last joke, but I
will I will say this. I think we're at the
(57:51):
tail end of this story. I hope we are. Because
it would be a shame to think that something's so crazy,
something so silly like trying to do the right thing
and make a suggestion, could be perverted and twisted and
(58:11):
manipulated into something that it's clearly not, just clearly not.
And I think it's high time we recognize things for
what they are and stop just presuming things right, you
know Tony Robbins, I saw a video with him where
he said, close your you know, look look around, look
for everything in here that's brown in color, and then
(58:31):
close your eyes. And then he asked him, all right,
read it all back to me, tell me what you see.
And the guy was very good, very descriptive. I see this,
not the other whatever, whatever. And then Tony Robbins says,
all right, now open your eyes and look for things
that are red. And he says, wow, I find even
more stuff. And he says, now, if I were to
ask if there was any red stuff in the room,
you'd say, I don't know. I was looking at the
(58:52):
brown stuff because that's what they were told to look at.
And that was such a powerfully for me because I said,
you know what, that's right. It makes a lot of
sense with the American flag yesterday, today, and forever more right,
once people get to know it and understand it, they
kind of embrace it. My hope is that they embrace it.
(59:13):
So anyway, a little food for a thought for you
there watching the clock. It's time for me to bid
you adio. I start a rosima. But you know what
I always say, take care, good night, and God bless
you America. And you got to stand for something, because
if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for anything.
I start, I'm Rich Valdez and this is America.
