In a world that seems to change daily, what will you do next?

Welcome to The Next Steps Show with Peter Vazquez, a starting point for discussion y un poco de dirección.

Segment 1: Introduction of John B. Wells

Peter Vazquez:
I am Peter Vazquez, right here on La Voz de Libertad. I hope you guys are having a phenomenal week thus far. It is almost Friday. Just hang in there un poquito más.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a great guest coming on today. I do not just think so. I know so. This man has one of the most recognizable baritones in radio. He has spent years challenging official narratives, exploring the machinery behind power, and giving listeners permission to think deeper than the headline, the talking point, or the government-approved explanation.

Today, we are not just talking about politics. We are talking about the convergence of crises now pressing against the American soul. This is a conversation about truth, power, mystery, and whether America still has the courage to ask hard questions before it is too late.

He is a legendary broadcaster, voice actor, former Coast to Coast AM host, and the founder and host of Caravan to Midnight and Ark Midnight. El señor John B. Wells.

Señor Wells, bienvenido to The Next Steps Show, brother.

John B. Wells:
Buenos días, amigos.

Peter Vazquez:
Ay, mira, español también. And the voice. Say that one more time, a little more baritone-ish.

John B. Wells:
Buenos días, amigos.

Peter Vazquez:
I like that, but you have competition.

John B. Wells:
People on speakers smaller than five inches are not going to hear anything.

Peter Vazquez:
Sir, tell listeners who you are. Bob was excited when I received the emails saying you were coming on. You are at the top of the business. If listeners have not heard of you yet, tell us a little about yourself.

John B. Wells:
Thank you. I appreciate your invitation. I have been in radio for a long time. I started at a small station, but after about a year, another opportunity opened at KZEW, the big rock station in Dallas that needed help. Around the time they were ready for me, a new program director came along. He later went on to Premiere Radio Networks, and he hired me there. That became a three-year run.

The voiceover business became much more appealing. It paid a lot better, that is for sure. So I went into voiceover for about twenty-five years. But then the margins became too low because there were too many people doing it. With the advent of the internet, you started seeing things like, “We can record a finished commercial for as little as five dollars,” or, “We just recorded a commercial for a client in the back of a limo.” I thought, “Enough already. I am out. I am going back home. I am going back to radio.”

So I did. It took a while to get to Coast to Coast AM. There were fill-in sessions and different opportunities along the way. They eventually decided to give me the Saturday night spot beginning in January 2012. I kept it until January 2014.

I guess they considered some of the subject matter to be a little too controversial. It was not ranting and raving, but I was bringing attention to things I thought needed attention. As soon as I got the word, exactly two years to the day, I said, “That is it. I am going in.”

That is when I borrowed Robin Trower’s title, Caravan to Midnight. When I was at the Zoo in Dallas, the rock station, a girl kept calling and asking for a Robin Trower song. I could not find it. We had about 3,000 records at the back of the studio, and I was going through what we were not playing that might be interesting. I found Caravan to Midnight, and sure enough, the song she wanted was on that record.

Peter, it was almost providential. I remember thinking, “If I ever get a talk show, which I cannot imagine I ever will, I am going to name it this.” And that is what happened. I do not know whether it was manifesting, divine guidance, or something providential, but here we are.

We have been going since 2014. Twelve years. It has been rewarding, to put it mildly. It has been great talking to brilliant people: surgeons, military people, intelligence people, authors. It has been astounding. It was like the perfect gig brought up almost like room service. But that is only in retrospect, because it was a rocky road getting there. One has to work very hard.

Peter Vazquez:
Real quick, are you doing talk now, or are you playing music?

John B. Wells:
Playing music? What do you mean?

Peter Vazquez:
I mean, are you a talk host or a DJ? I am trying to figure out what your act is.

John B. Wells:
I was a DJ, and then I went into talk radio. The music I was talking about was back when we were all much younger. I am talking about 1979 to 1982. That was my standard rock radio period. After that, I went full-time into voiceover.

You probably heard a lot of my commercials over the years before some of those companies went out of business. I used to do spots for RadioShack Corporation, Phillips Petroleum, Lincoln, and others. It was a great gig. You would go from session to session all day because Dallas was a huge advertising and talent center.

Peter Vazquez:
Back when America made sense, right? You mentioned Lincoln and some of those products. That is from when I was a kid.

On Coast to Coast, you mentioned that things were a little too controversial. As I was preparing for today’s show, I saw that it may also have been considered too political. From what I can gather, you have a passion for highlighting government transparency, or the lack thereof, national security, and alternative narratives.

At one point, some of your UFO discussions were probably treated as conspiracy theory. But now the government has essentially validated that there are records, and they are sharing some of them with us.

John B. Wells:
What they call conspiracy theory, I call lie detection. There is so much that has gone on that the public as a whole, and even the majority of individuals, had concealed from them for whatever reason.

There is a spiritual component to this as well. Deception, deception, deception. That is the name of the game, whether it is advertising or government operation. It is about deceiving the public so you can get the mass of people to do what you want them to do.

Your example of the Democrat left is a good one. I do not think those people really believe most of what they are saying. They are selling it, but I do not think all of them buy into it.

The other part that goes along with deception is division. If they can keep us divided, they can control the narrative, and therefore control us more easily.

My whole thing is identifying systems that marginalize humanity in furtherance of controlling humanity. That is what I am interested in. It is really about human liberty. You have the freedom to walk around the prison exercise yard, but you do not have the liberty to leave the prison. Does that make sense?

Peter Vazquez:
You just described New York State and California, and really what a lot of the left is trying to do.

Let me ask you: do you think we are poised on a precipice between constitutional liberty and total control by government or institutions?

John B. Wells:
I think there are certain elements that believe a totalitarian system will make them the most money.

Here is the thing. I was never a person who set out to talk about this. It just happened this way. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Not some kinds, not the occasional kind, but all kinds of evil. Follow the money. It is true.

I think these people have abandoned, to a great degree, and maybe even the majority of them, who sent them here to begin with. I think they have forgotten to whom they owe their allegiance, and to whom they owe their very next breath. They want to say Darwin this and Darwin that, but the Bible keeps coming back.

The youth of our city are in a new crisis. Criminal justice reform has created the consequences of no consequences and generated a whole new generation of 12- to 17-year-old kids committing serious crimes. Never before have we had this level of youthful offenders. But 90 percent of these kids are just trying to do the right thing and need a safe sanctuary to retreat to. That is Rochester Youth for Christ. You can be part of this solution by giving generously and regularly at yfcrochester.org/donate.

Segment 2: Socialism, Censorship, National Security, and Faith

Peter Vazquez:
Ay, muchas gracias, hermano. It is dreary, rainy, and cloudy, but you know what? It is sunny somewhere. I will tell you where it is sunny. It is sunny when you look out the window and say, “God, I love what You did.” It is perfect, even when it is dreary and dark.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honor of speaking with legendary broadcaster, former Coast to Coast AM host, and founder and host of Caravan to Midnight and Ark Midnight, el señor John B. Wells.

Sir, thank you again for your time today.

John B. Wells:
It is my pleasure. It is great to talk to you.

Peter Vazquez:
Right before the break, I mentioned House Speaker Mike Johnson. Like him or dislike him, he recently said there are “little Mamdanis” popping up all around the country, openly avowed socialist Marxist ideology. He continued by saying this is about moving away from a constitutional republic to a communist utopian ideology.

I bring up Mamdani a lot, even though we are in upstate New York, because now we see our governor, whom I call Hocus Pocus, cozying up with that ideology. It will not be long before we see it in places like Rochester, urban America, or even rural America.

John B. Wells:
It is interesting. My mother was born and raised in Utica, so I have a little connection to New York.

Where Mamdani is concerned, there is an expression I heard many years ago: before you can hook somebody on pornography, you have to show it to them. You have to get them to look at it.

It is the same with these ridiculous enslavement mechanisms: fascism, socialism, communism, and so forth. Some people do not really know what a fascist is. That is state control of industry. Where did that come from? Benito Mussolini, I think. Then they call the Germans fascists. They were not. The NSDAP was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

Today, we still hear “the workers, the workers, the workers,” when half of what results in the products we use is automation. Automated plants, automated this and that. These people are trying to call upon the rallying cries of yesteryear, when unions were valuable, when you had sweatshops, when the means of production were controlled by the guys with the money, and people needed jobs, particularly during the Depression era.

They are going to continue to beat this drum about how they are the champions of the workers. In the end, they never do anything for anybody.

Should there be a national health care service? Yes. But socialism only works to the benefit of everybody if you have high levels of production and a smaller population. When you have 350 million people you theoretically want to look after, you either need amazing production output, or you will have problems.

It is complicated. For example, we got three things in 1913 that nobody asked for: the Federal Reserve, which is neither federal nor reserve, it is a central bank; the income tax; and the Anti-Defamation League, all in one year. How those things fit together, I will leave to your audience to figure out, because it is no accident those three things came into existence at that time. It is not coincidence. It was designed that way.

The way they presented it is a clear example of what tyranny looks like.

Peter Vazquez:
We dub that, John, the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis.

John B. Wells:
People do not realize that what President Trump is really doing, and he and I are not best friends, we do not know each other, but what he is really doing is breaking the chains that connect us to the City of London, the banking hub that runs not only the Western world, but a good bit of the Eastern world too, beginning with China and Japan.

I did not know all of this when I went into radio. I did not go in thinking, “I know all this stuff.” You have to talk to people. More than that, you have to find people willing to talk, and not all of them are. But we have been richly blessed by people who have realized, “We had better keep talking while we can still talk,” because there will come a point when it will be forbidden to talk about these things. That prohibition on free speech will be for the greater good, of course. Always for the greater good.

Peter Vazquez:
John, we are seeing this in California. Assemblywoman Mia Bonta introduced AB 2624, quickly dubbed the Stop Nick Shirley Act. Are you familiar with that?

John B. Wells:
Vaguely.

Peter Vazquez:
Nick Shirley exposed fraudulent daycare centers and misappropriation of taxpayer funds. According to this bill, they want to criminalize investigative journalism in California.

John B. Wells:
It does not surprise me in the least. Look what Ilhan Omar has pulled in Minnesota. It is insane. These people are criminals and grifters, and they do it all “for the people.” They do not care about the people. They care about themselves.

Peter Vazquez:
I want to touch on national security. We only have about four minutes left in the interview. I will have to have you on again, probably more often if you would not mind.

In New York, this impacts us because look at Dearborn, Michigan. Look at what is happening in Seattle, Washington. In January of this year, a gentleman named Mohammed Badawi, a religious director for the Muslim American Society Youth Center in Brooklyn, according to Breitbart and JVIM summaries, declared that his life’s mission as a Muslim was to fight the U.S. government, military, and ICE until his last breath.

This is happening right now. This becomes a national security issue. In places like California and New York, and in parts of Texas, we are seeing this rise. If we remember 9/11, they said they were going to destroy us from within.

Looking at Mike Johnson’s comments, looking at what this man said and what they are teaching children, looking at how Hochul and Newsom and other governors are aligning with this, what is your opinion?

John B. Wells:
This has all been facilitated by a group I refer to as the usual suspects. I will leave it to the audience to determine who I mean by this.

If you start criticizing any group, you are immediately labeled. It does not matter whether your statements are true. It does not matter. There is a difference between fashion and style, and there is a style that goes all the way back to the Bible.

I take it you are probably a Christian, correct?

Peter Vazquez:
I am a chaplain, actually.

John B. Wells:
Catholic?

Peter Vazquez:
No, chaplain, not Catholic. I am non-denominational.

John B. Wells:
I am too. I would not say I belong to a denomination at all. Look what happened to the Methodist Church. That is the closest I came to it. It split into the United Methodist Church and the Global Methodist Church, and the United Methodist Church decided to stick with gay marriage.

Do what you want. Live your life. Be who you are. We do not care as long as you are not hurting anybody else. But when it becomes institutionalized, even the Catholic Church now says, “We will give you a blessing. We cannot actually pronounce you spouse and spouse, but we will give you a blessing.”

When you start acquiescing to things stated in Scripture as not the done thing, you are asking for it.

All of this is about cutting us off from God, cutting us off from Christ. Once they have done that, they can make up the rules as they go along because there are no boundaries. Who is going to define morality? Go to Scripture. That is the instruction book.

I never thought I would come on anybody’s radio show and say, “If you do not have Jesus, you have problems.” Look around the world.

Peter Vazquez:
I do this every day at noon, John, and I do not hold back. God, country, and family are what created this wonderful nation of ours.

Sir, we are at the end, unfortunately. Do you have a website you could share real quick?

John B. Wells:
Sure. CaravanToMidnight.com. No numbers, no missing letters. You are midnight.

Peter Vazquez:
There you go, ladies and gentlemen, the honorable John B. Wells. Sir, I appreciate your time, I appreciate you, and may God bless you and continue to bless the work you do.

John B. Wells:
God bless you too. Thank you.

Peter Vazquez:
Do not change that dial. Lines are open. We will be right back right here with Peter Vazquez and The Voice of Liberty.

Bob Savage:
You heard the man. 585-346-3000. We want to hear from you. This is Open Door Thursday. WYSL, WLEA, The Voice of Liberty.

Segment 3: Calls Open, Longfellow, Sacrifice, and the Ship of State

Station Voice:
Peter Vazquez and The Next Steps Show on The Voice of Liberty.

Bob Savage:
We are back in here. Thank you so much for joining us on this dreary Thursday on The Next Steps Show, WYSL, WLEA.

Before we get back to Peter, I would like to read something. It is a little poem from Longfellow, and it was read by Winston Churchill in the dark days of World War II. I think it is appropriate now as President Trump is touring China, sitting down with President Xi and other leaders.

Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
’Tis of the wave and not the rock;
’Tis but the flapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest’s roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears,
Our faith triumphant o’er our fears,
Are all with thee, are all with thee!

Sail on, O Ship of State.

Let us go to the phones. We have Keith. We have not heard from him in a while. What is up, Keith?

Keith:
I was looking at a dead soldier from New Zealand. They call their troops Kiwis. I was looking at the body of this dead New Zealand soldier. They were the ones who finally took that monastery high up.

People should know, certainly with Memorial Day coming up, the price fighting men on the Allied side throughout various wars have paid. Memorial Day is different from Veterans Day. Memorial Day is for those who made the supreme sacrifice.

Just looking at that dead soldier, in his case from New Zealand, it does not matter where the Allied soldier came from. A lot of these guys gave their futures so the rest of us could have our futures insured.

I know I have used a lot of time saying that. I do not know how much the two of you in the studio can listen to the Glenn Beck show. You probably do not hear the overnight show with the Red Eye guys, but Glenn Beck this week is in London.

My point, with time running out, is that England is drastically not the Britain we knew under Sir Winston Churchill during the war. He and Margaret Thatcher would be appalled to come back from the dead and see Britain today.

I wanted to bring up other topics, but I cannot. I just want people to know we could go the way of Britain if Americans do not wake up. Britain today is just a sad skeleton of its former self. Things are very bad in Britain and also in our so-called northern neighbor, Canada.

Thank God Trump was elected. If Kamala had gotten in there, we would have gone the way of Europe. It is very bad right now in the world, and people should know that. Like Mike Johnson said, there are little Mamdanis popping up all over the country.

Peter Vazquez:
Keith, I appreciate the call. You are always welcome. Let me restate an invitation that has apparently been open from before I even got here. You are always welcome to come in and spend an hour on The Next Steps Show. I cannot imagine other shows would not want you on as well.

Stan, I appreciate you calling The Next Steps Show, brother. How are you?

Segment 4: Stan Calls, Discouragement, and Hope

Stan:
Good. How are you doing?

Peter Vazquez:
I am doing all right. I am starting to wonder: is it just inevitable? I am at the point of giving up, dude, because I do not know. It just seems inevitable. You cannot talk to these people. I do not think they want to talk. I think they just want it their way, and that is it. That is why they never take a debate.

Any of these elected jokers sitting in office, especially on the left side, when they are challenged to debates by candidates to have discussions that you and I can understand, they outright refuse. That is part of the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis.

Stan:
Right, because they have no argument. They know that, so they refuse. That is the way they keep getting their way. It is really sad.

If they get their way and things get totally out of order and chaotic, I think they will be repenting then. But why do we have to get to that to see?

Bob Savage:
Stan, let me jump in here. There is a lot of good news out there, and that is reason number one not to give up. Do not toss up your hands. God is in charge. He is not in control; He is in charge. We are the people He chose to deal with all this. He knows all about us. He knows what our destiny is. He put us here to deal with the things our fellow earthlings have created. There is a lot of optimism to look for.

Peter Vazquez:
Absolutely. Stan, let me share some good news with you. It is not all bad. When we keep things in prayer, things like this happen. The New York Post reported that Albany County Supreme Court Judge Denise Hartman reversed a Democrat-controlled decision to block GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman from accessing matching campaign funds.

There is good news there.

The moment we stop fighting is the moment the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis takes over and they win.

Stan:
I guess I really do not mean what I said. What Bob just said was deep and brought me back to my roots. I am just hurting.

Bob Savage:
We all are. I feel what you are going through, Stan. We all feel scared. We all feel a little desperate because the tendency is to look at adversity and overestimate it. Do not let that happen to you, my friend. It is all going to work out. You are going to be fine. We are all going to be fine.

Stan:
Thanks, Bob.

Bob Savage:
You got it, brother.

Peter Vazquez:
Stan, I really appreciate the call.

Ladies and gentlemen, those lines are open: 585-346-3000 or toll-free 866-552-1009.

Representative Wesley Hunt represents Texas’s 38th Congressional District, parts of the greater Houston area. Houston, if you remember, not long ago, thanks to the great work of Black Robed pastors and the Frederick Douglass Foundation nationally, was able to turn things around.

Wesley Hunt said this to everybody in Congress: “Slavery is over. Jim Crow is dead. Let us move on.”

Ladies and gentlemen, soy yo, Peter Vazquez, con mi amigo, the king of the queso, el señor Roberto Savage. We will be right back, right here on The Voice of Liberty.

Music Break

[Music break omitted.]

Segment 5: Lorraine Calls, Civic Engagement, Language, and Culture

Station Voice:
The Next Steps Show, brought to you by Youth for Christ Rochester, yfcrochester.org.

Bob Savage:
Where else on radio, in one segment, can you get Longfellow and First Class doing “Beach Baby”? Something for everybody.

Peter Vazquez:
And we are going to end it with a bang when we go with a little JD Rivera out the window today. Ladies and gentlemen, we have it all here, por seguro. And the reason we have it all is para ti. It is for you. It is for you to be able to invest in.

If you own a business, have an idea, have a message, call 585-346-3000 and say, “Mira, Bob, I want to sponsor The Next Steps Show with this concept I have. What is the cost?” I will tell you, you will love it.

Lorraine, thank you for calling The Next Steps Show.

Lorraine:
I do not want to call too often, but I like John Wells’s concept and the way he expressed it.

Peter Vazquez:
Lorraine, I am sorry to interrupt, and do not forget your thought. But I want to say you are nearly 90 years old. Please do not wait to call. You can call a lot.

Lorraine:
I am not 90. I will be 90 in a year and a half.

Peter Vazquez:
I am joking with you. I am picking on you.

Lorraine:
Can I add to my thoughts about the little competition for students to write essays or make videos? Those are the two categories that occurred to me, but you guys know more about things like podcasts and other formats. We could have different categories to win. We could even ask them what would be a good topic for the competition. Get them involved, because people listen more if they can get involved.

I love your show. I do not always listen, but it is one of many talk shows at WYSL that I like.

Bob Savage:
That is good to hear. Did you hear us using your name in vain about ten minutes ago?

Lorraine:
Yes, I did, but I had a cat. He is a problem cat. I had to let him out before I could have my hands free.

Bob Savage:
Cats come first. We understand.

Peter Vazquez:
Lorraine, thank you so much for everything. I appreciate when you call so much.

Lorraine:
You are doing a great thing. Stop mispronouncing tyranny, will you?

Bob Savage:
He says it for you, Lorraine.

Peter Vazquez:
It just comes out. Bob and I have lived with the correct pronunciation a long time, so we do not have a problem with that.

Bob Savage:
I have a long stick here in the studio so I can reach across the console and whack him in the head every time he says it.

Lorraine:
You are doing great.

Peter Vazquez:
I appreciate the call, Lorraine.

When I was running for county clerk, Lorraine, if you are listening, hear this: apparently I do not know how to speak Spanish either, because I was corrected several times by various Democrat members of the city. They even told me I could not pronounce my own last name. How dare me.

Bob Savage:
That sounds like the title of a song: “How Dare Me.”

Peter Vazquez:
These are the people who would say they like the concept of little Mamdanis rising up all over the place. I did not take too much offense to that.

Bob Savage:
Here is the lesson you need to learn, Peter. Is it Vazquez?

Peter Vazquez:
It is actually Vázquez, with the accent over the A.

Bob Savage:
With the accent on the wrong syllable. When you try to ride both horses, lots of times you drop in between. You are mangling English and Spanish. Maybe you should pick one.

Peter Vazquez:
That would be a hard choice. If I choose Spanish, people like Keith may never listen to me again. Some people have sent text messages or Facebook messages. They do not directly say stop talking Spanish. They beat around the bush, which I find even funnier. I feel like responding, “Hey, listen, you know, it is a little racy.”

Bob Savage:
People have asked me, “When you are talking in Spanish on the station, what are you saying?”

Peter Vazquez:
I am saying the same thing I would say in English. People are literally telling me they do not like the fact that I speak Spanish on English radio.

Bob Savage:
They feel left out.

Peter Vazquez:
They should not feel left out. I translate everything I say.

Bob Savage:
They do not know what you are saying. They are taking the time to listen.

Peter Vazquez:
I say, “¿Cómo estás?”

Bob Savage:
Everybody knows what that means. It means your zipper is down.

Peter Vazquez:
What people need to be concerned with is not Spanish. It is the Ten Commandments in school materials that the New York State Legislature tries to keep out of the curriculum. They should be teaching people that it does not matter what language you speak. God is universal.

A former guest of mine said Christianity does not matter what country you are in or what language you speak. It is one universal family.

Bob Savage:
I would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.

Peter Vazquez:
When people are focused on things caught up in the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis, this is what comes up. Spanish is the second, or depending on how you count it, competing with Mandarin Chinese, most spoken language in the world. Why would you not want your child to speak a language, whether Mandarin or Spanish, that is going to yield them revenue in the future?

But the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis is real, because people are focused on nonsense. A softer-sounding version of Marxist ideas is happening here in New York State through Mamdani, where the Speaker of the House refers to little Mamdanis popping up all over the country.

To those who say, “Peter, stop talking so much español,” I say this: send me a message saying, “Hey, I learned something today that you need to share with the two million-plus people who listen to WYSL and WLEA on a daily basis.” That makes more sense to me. To me, that is more conservative than complaining about the few words I share in Spanish that you may or may not understand. I translate it anyway.

When a Black representative like Wesley Hunt says, “Slavery is over and Jim Crow is dead,” and I share that on the air, I say, “Mira, pal carajo con esto,” to these Democrats telling us our voice does not matter.

Understand two things: somos Americanos, first and foremost. Secondly, God, country, y familia guide the conservative narrative in a nation that believes we are under God. It is in our Pledge of Allegiance, is it not?

Bob Savage:
It is. One thing it sounds like you are missing, and I do not think you are missing it, but it sounds like you are missing it, is that when you are talking about what the left and Democrats are saying about freedom of speech and related issues, you always have to couch it in terms of the distorted meanings they assign to words.

This is a characteristic of the political left. First, they are always accusing you of doing what they are doing, or what they are really up to. It is a Saul Alinsky tactic designed to keep you off balance. When they are blatantly violating their own rules right in front of you, social conventions say you should not be rude enough to point it out. You need to break that rule.

The other thing is changing the meanings of words to suit their purposes. Usually that means a 180-degree reversal. Good is bad. Up is down. Left is right. Wrong is right. Right is wrong. That is another confusing tactic. You need to power past that, get to the truth, and clobber them relentlessly with the truth while communicating that you are not liable to be suckered like this.

Peter Vazquez:
I agree. Although I am speaking to quite a few conservatives who have bought into this, especially since the football halftime show, where some people have taken offense to any language other than English in the United States. I do not disagree that English is important, but embracing culture matters.

Again, it goes back to what I said earlier. I agree with you 100 percent. I try to power through all that as much as I can. But when our own refuse to look at the bigger picture, refuse to stand behind people like President Trump when he is doing the right thing because they do not like his language, or refuse to stand behind someone because maybe they are a little different, that is where we need to pay attention.

Pay attention to things like Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, who said she has the power to tax rideshare. If she can do that double tax, what else can she tax?

It is me, Peter Vazquez, right here on The Voice of Liberty.

Be a leader. Be a leader. Be a leader.

God bless these United States of America. Until next time, see you soon.

Bob Savage:
Sail on, O Ship of State. God bless Donald Trump. Keep him safe.
