I’m talking to this morning is Jean Valentino, the Velvet Hammer down in Pensacola, Florida. Good morning, Jean.

Good morning, gentlemen. How you doing?

We’re doing well. I’m looking at all these balls in the air trying to figure out rhyme and reason here. Uh, but I I

need to get on the phone on the air with you guys in the morning and sh just free my mind of all this craziness. Let’s talk about commodes.

Well, you know, we try to flush our minds every once in a while and try to get a new perspective on what they I think other leaders I think other

leaders of the world ought to listen to you and take your and heed your advice on some of that stuff. You know,

something I I’ I’ve led a shelter life. I’ve lived in three states. Mississippi, Alabama,

and Georgia. But Georgia used to be a good state. They’re fair now. But Alabama, Mississippi are still those good southern states where we go to

church and we don’t complain too much and we join the military or the National Guard. Camp Shelby, big training ground here. And we used to say every summer,

lock the women, children, and small animals up. The Alabama guards in town, you know. Yeah.

So, we had to be careful like that. But I was talking to Charles about it and thinking in my mind and and a couple of different things that have crossed. I

heard a young TV anchor earlier this morning, four or five o’clock or something talking about asking a coher

co-host if they liked Easter candy or Halloween candy better. And I thought you don’t even know what Easter is all about. Easter’s a holy holiday.

Halloween’s a pagan holiday. And I don’t understand young people today. I I belong to veterans organizations. I

served two years in the military and you know I would say and we’re non-political by all of them anyone I belong to this is not them speaking it’s just me but

75% or more are pro Donald Trump and America and saving the world stuff like that but then you know I go out on the streets even in good old Hattiesburg in

the south I love so much there’s a protest last Saturday for no more kings or something like that what what’s happening with the young people in the

country today Jean I it’s An excellent question, but I just think uh when there is no direction, no

vision, no future, people ramble. People stray into directions not because it

makes sense or it’s even logical, but because there’s nowhere else to turn.

Meanwhile, you have the Gen Z on a religious revival nationwide.

You have folks stepping, these younger folks stepping up not only to find themselves but to meet with the Lord and

to experience what um has been talked about through the Billy Graham type of movements over the generations. It’s a

um it’s a revival that is um welcomed and I think with all of the confusion in

the politics and world peace issues uh I think that the Gen Z crowd may surprise

us in the next decade with a sense of stability and balance and direction.

It’ll be a it’ll be a governing influence that’ll that’ll occupy the

judiciary the legislative branch branches and the administrative branches and I think we will see a sense of

normaly return. It’s the pendulum swinging back. It’s logic saying we

tried it all these other crazy ways and uh look what we got. It’s coming back.

And I think Donald Trump is here today with us. Uh it it must be a providential

thing. It it it must be godly because we were one click away from the uh from the

total uh takeown of world order and um and peace. As if we’ve we’ve been

spoiled since World War II. We we’ve come to set a standard into motion that

we all expect. Um we were we remember and honor those who died for us. They’re seniors now. They’re pushing a 100red

years of age and we look at them as some sort of different generation. Not they are vital heroes that have that are just

up in age now. And tomorrow we’re going to be there as well. But today they should be honored because of what they’ve done to save this nation for the

decades. Oh, the headlines uh occupy our attention with Pam Bondi

on the way out, Lee uh Lee Zeldon or Todd Blanch uh and others coming in at

the DOJ. But um there’s there’s going to be some governing balance that kicks in

um that I think is going to be so good for this nation. Uh, I I I if you really

want to know what’s bugging me, I’m bothered that the United Nations Security Council has to vote today to

suggest to its fellow members that they get behind the initiative to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Uh it it bothers me also that four nations in particular Italy, Germany,

Spain and Great Britain sit back and push America

outside its borders and says uh no in your response to Iran don’t enter our

airspace is to me as NATO as member members of NATO with us.

Uh the biggest insult to America that we’ve seen uh said bluntly,

I am sick and tired of these European nations uh defecating. Get that commode conversation out again.

Defecating on our on America. We we are we are done with the way they have

treated us over the last four decades in particular. I don’t care whether you like them America or the bad behavior of

a select few in this nation. Freedom um unfortunately gives us a great op great

great great advantages and sometimes encumbers us with some disadvantages uh that we don’t appreciate. Uh we need

to get those four nations in particular uh uh they get a spanking unlike ever before and they and I hope Donald Trump

once we address the Iran issue uh has time to focus on what we’re going to do with those four nations. But um they’ve

been playing us. They joke about us behind our back. They make fun of America as a bunch of uh uh lackluster cultureless people which is not true.

America has principles which is the best culture of all is we stand by a principle of freedom and liberty and we

know we know Ted that um that if it wasn’t for us they would have been gone a long time ago. If Donald Trump does what he says, uh, and not and, you know,

let them fend for themselves, the new attitude, I think they’re in for a big surprise and will be begging for American support again. Meanwhile, I

hope he does what he also says. He’s frustrated with NATO. We need to pull out of NATO. Uh, we can choose who we

want to be allies with and friends with and give our resources to to save save liberty and freedoms around the world.

You know, it’s a world full of a short memory. Uh the people of these European countries that are dealing with this attitude today, their parents are

certainly their grandparents or great-grandparents are all gone because they don’t remember the raft of a man

named Adolf Hitler or the Japanese and and what they did tried to do to the world, but the only thing stopping them was the American people, the American

military. And you know, if they want to sit back there and it’s it’s like, you know, there’s a bully somewhere and you sit there and making fun of us or don’t

help us with setting things up. There’s going to come a time that you’re going to be begging. And I and I think that’s somebody told me that is in the military

and has a little bit says one of the reasons that some of the military of the European nations didn’t do much to help us in Rance is they don’t have it.

They’re totally counting on us.

Yeah. Well, it was my Italian grandfather, an Italian immigrant who came in the country legally, by the way,

who served in World War I. And um I remember him turning to me when I was

younger, and I I remember it from the teenage days before he pa passed. And he said to me, “Failure to defend the

rights of others may someday result in your rights not being defended.” This is an Italian immigrant who didn’t have his

hand out. He had his hand up and he was trying to do things to help America. He

was um he was a hero. He saved many American lives in World War I. But uh

it’s it was a it was indicative of my other grandparents who who um you know it was an era where it was an honor to

do so and they were leaving behind a whole culture a whole nation. He left behind Italy and the Mussolini Mussolini

regime and um at the time and didn’t care about being Italian. He he was so proud to boast about uh being American.

Now today we use the word assimilation.

Here we have an immigration crisis where these fools are coming in thinking not only are they going to hold on to their their heritage from where they came,

which is fine, but they’re not going to assimilate into an American culture.

They’re going to put our culture and rules aside and um simply uh live by um the rules and u standards from where they came.

Well, if I’m not denying your culture and from where you came, but you’re you know, when you come into my living room,

don’t put your muddy feet up on the coffee table. How about that for an explanation? I mean, you you you’re you’re you’re coming into our our world,

assimilate into our way of life, and we’ll do the same when we come into your into your home.

Wow. Good thoughts right there. Just real quickly, in about 60 seconds, how about that space uh rocket that we sent up this week, the Arminist?

Yeah. Well, we’re in the second day of Artemis 2. That’s the journey toward the lunar o or orbit. It’s the precursor for

Artemis 3 and Fort Ted. This 10-day mission is supposed to have uh well, it has many objectives, but one of the

things they’re doing is revisiting the locations of potential landing sites.

And for Donald Trump, it’s the staging of the real mission, the trip to Mars.

The trip to Mars in in the 21st century where we’re going to see hopefully a man

enter the uh Martian atmosphere and uh land on Mars. Boy, wouldn’t that be something?

I tell you what, I hope I live long enough to see it. Jean, thank you so very much for joining us today. Hey, you could have taken Good Friday off, but

you’re a pleasure to have with us and thank you for your service to our country and keep it up and we look forward to next week.

Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Judge. It’s good to hear from both of you. Thank you very much, Jean Valentino.
