00:00:00.260 Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad. Today I've got, I guess, a honey badger, a fiery, a spicy, a Latina honey badger.
00:00:09.780 Valentina Gomez, how are you doing?
00:00:12.020 Gad, doing amazing. Thank you for having me.
00:00:15.080 Gad, I know you don't remember this, but we actually met two years ago in Arizona.
00:00:20.620 Oh, at the turning point?
00:00:22.360 Yes, sir. Yes, we did.
00:00:24.440 Here, I'll show you this picture of you and I.
00:00:26.900 Oh, wait a minute. You must have been wearing heels because I don't like for you to be taller.
00:00:33.500 I'm always wearing heels.
00:00:35.220 Okay, fair enough. Just so that people don't come around saying you're short and so on. To me, I am Lionel Messi's height.
00:00:42.260 Hey, we're tall people. What are you talking about?
00:00:44.560 Exactly. All right, let me tell people about who you are and how I sort of, other than meeting you at Turning Point, how I got to know a bit of your activism.
00:00:54.180 You previously worked in real estate. You ran for Missouri Secretary of State. You're an NCAA swimmer. That's pretty impressive.
00:01:03.940 Maybe you ran against that woman, or not ran, swam against that woman in University of Pennsylvania, the 6'4 woman with a penis. Did you ever run, did you ever swim against her?
00:01:12.840 No, actually, I never swim against her. But I mean, that's just a dude dressing up as a woman. And my brothers were also NCAA Division I swimmers. So I don't understand why the NCAA ever allowed for men to come into women's sports.
00:01:28.840 It's all covered in this book, Valentina. And currently, you are running for U.S. Representative for the 31st Congressional District in Texas.
00:01:38.840 I think you're 26 years old, which if you were to win, would certainly make you one of the youngest members of Congress. True?
00:01:45.180 That is correct.
00:01:45.760 Okay, so let's start. Born in Medellin, Colombia. Am I right?
00:01:52.240 Oh, my God. There's so much fake news about that and about me.
00:01:56.700 You're not born in Medellin? You're not Colombian?
00:01:58.780 No, not at all. Not at all. I was born in Cali, Colombia, but I am made in America.
00:02:03.820 My family and I came to the United States when I was 10 years old. We came here legally. We filed our paperwork.
00:02:08.780 And Gad, my brother, one of my brothers, is actually here in the military.
00:02:13.480 So it goes to show you that if you want to come here, do it legally, follow your paperwork, respect the rule of law, and assimilate to the culture of the nation that you're entering to.
00:02:22.020 That seems very reasonable to me.
00:02:23.800 Oftentimes, when I, you know, rail against not only illegal immigration, but even legal immigration from countries that don't share our values, I will usually get an incredibly imbecilic retort, which is, but you are an immigrant.
00:02:38.920 All of your friends are immigrants.
00:02:40.220 Well, that's like saying your house cat is a feline, and the wild lion in the savannah is a feline.
00:02:49.460 Since they're both called feline, I could lay down on the bed and cuddle with both of them.
00:02:54.900 Yes?
00:02:56.160 Well, you see, Gad, I'm not far right. I'm just right.
00:02:59.140 Okay, so I got to know your work because of some rather kind of fiery, I mean, no pun intended, or maybe pun intended, sort of stunts that you did.
00:03:11.500 In one case, you were burning all the kind of LGBTQ stuff.
00:03:15.840 More recently, you burned a Quran.
00:03:19.540 Now, of course, I fully support the right for anyone to do any of that stuff.
00:03:23.680 You could burn the Torah, the Old Testament.
00:03:26.920 I don't care.
00:03:27.520 You could burn the, you know, the book by Charles Darwin, which is foundational to my scientific work.
00:03:34.040 I don't care.
00:03:34.620 That's what it means to live in a free society.
00:03:36.360 But do you think that given the way you deliver your message, it might maybe detract some people who agree with your position, but think that the way you go about it is not the optimal way?
00:03:50.520 Gad, the way I see this is I'd rather go too far than not far enough.
00:03:54.940 And Gad, where do we draw the line after thousands of little girls have been raped and thousands of children have been butchered?
00:04:01.760 The truth is, the line has already been crossed.
00:04:04.880 And we just need to be quicker with capital punishments.
00:04:08.120 Because I do not care what nationality or religion you're from.
00:04:12.180 If you rape or kill, you deserve a death penalty.
00:04:16.000 Right.
00:04:16.460 Well, you know, I'm from Canada where we don't have the, never mind, we don't have the death penalty.
00:04:22.020 You can rape children and probably let out within a year or two.
00:04:27.300 So I wholeheartedly agree with you.
00:04:29.020 As a matter of fact, I've often argued that to take off the death penalty for any crime is actually more barbaric than the death penalty.
00:04:39.660 Because we've evolved, as human beings, we've evolved a sense of justice, of vengefulness, of retribution.
00:04:47.000 If you go after my child, it makes perfect evolutionary sense for me to put a bullet in your head.
00:04:54.580 Gad, mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
00:04:58.080 And I just call it like it is.
00:05:00.500 And the Quran specifically says on Quran 812, to behead and terrorize those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran.
00:05:08.120 And God, I saw a little girl in the UK fighting for her life with two knives and defending herself, but ended up getting arrested because she wanted to defend herself against a rapist Muslim.
00:05:18.780 So unfortunately, girls in the UK now have, and across Europe, now have two options, get raped or get arrested.
00:05:25.900 It's unbelievable.
00:05:27.500 What's happening in Texas?
00:05:29.060 I know that I think you probably know.
00:05:30.780 Do you know the account by Amy Mech?
00:05:34.000 Do you know who that is?
00:05:34.700 Oh, I haven't actually met Amy.
00:05:37.460 I've spoken to her a lot of times.
00:05:39.840 And she's one of the very few women that are actually fighting against the Islamization of not just Texas, but also America.
00:05:46.620 I only have good things to say about Amy.
00:05:48.540 She's exposing also all of the mosques that are getting built, the Sharia compounds, and how Texas is being taken over by Islamists.
00:05:56.180 In Georgetown, a new mosque, a new Islamic center full of Sharia law and schools, halal, superstores, is being funded, and it's about to be built.
00:06:08.160 Is it just an accident of geography that is taking place in Texas, or is there a particular concerted effort and strategy to be focusing on the Islamization of Texas?
00:06:21.740 God, they're building mosques all over Texas and all over America.
00:06:26.240 And it's not Islamophobic to call it out, because I don't want America to turn into an Islamic nation.
00:06:33.040 And they call me Islamophobic, but there are no phobias in my campaign.
00:06:37.680 I want to be very clear about that.
00:06:39.400 I don't fear the groomers that are trying to sexualize and indoctrinate children.
00:06:43.000 I don't fear the pedophiles.
00:06:44.640 I don't feel the jihadists trying to take over Texas.
00:06:46.640 And I definitely do not fear any of the corrupt politicians that have sold our state to these Islamists.
00:06:52.680 Have you received, as a result of burning the Quran recently, have you received an increase in death threats?
00:07:00.040 Are there concerns over your security?
00:07:01.940 Walk us through that.
00:07:03.300 Well, Gad, you can take the Muslim out of a terrorist nation, but you cannot take the terrorism out of a Muslim.
00:07:09.560 I'm one of the very few people in the world that is actually free.
00:07:12.920 I speak from the heart, I spread the gospel, and I save children.
00:07:17.120 I have gotten thousands of death threats.
00:07:19.180 I have been banned.
00:07:20.140 They tried to cancel me, but they can't.
00:07:22.260 My brother got fired.
00:07:23.560 They got my brother fired from his job.
00:07:25.060 My dogs were poisoned.
00:07:26.400 My dad was almost killed.
00:07:28.080 And even though my family and I have gone through all of this, I still call myself a warrior of Jesus Christ.
00:07:33.980 Do you think that you could have been as committed to fighting, for example, against the Islamization of the United States,
00:07:42.520 without it being rooted in your Christian faith?
00:07:46.560 In other words, could you have been an atheist who loves personal liberties and fight the dogged fight in the way that you do?
00:07:54.880 Not at all, Gad.
00:07:55.900 I put the armor of Jesus Christ every day, and I fight against evil, and somebody's got to do it.
00:08:00.520 What does your family think about all the risks that you take to follow your principles?
00:08:06.460 They know that I am a warrior.
00:08:09.220 I'm always packed.
00:08:10.740 I gave my life to Jesus Christ, and I'm not bending a knee to the ideology that once Jews, Christians, and soldiers like my brother killed.
00:08:19.960 But does mom or dad ever come to you and say, hey, Valentina, can we just tone it down a bit?
00:08:27.540 Can you be a bit sweeter?
00:08:29.120 Can you just deliver your message with a little bit less spice?
00:08:32.500 Do they ever say that, or they know it's a lost cause, you're going to speak your mind no matter what?
00:08:37.420 They know that with me, it's going to be a fight, and you have to fight fire with fire.
00:08:42.280 So, they only pray for me.
00:08:45.320 They wish me the best, and they agree with what I say.
00:08:48.960 But either way, Gad, this is a new generation.
00:08:51.600 I actually take action.
00:08:53.360 I actually confront the enemy, and that's what they're afraid of me.
00:08:57.500 Have you received any endorsements from major recognizable people within the Republican Party,
00:09:06.500 or are most staying clear of you because of the manner in which you deliver your message?
00:09:12.980 Many of these people are very weak, and I'm just looking for the endorsement of Jesus Christ
00:09:18.020 and of the people of the 31st Congressional District.
00:09:21.360 Is there any polling done so far?
00:09:23.540 Do you have a sense of whether your message is resonating or people are running away from your message?
00:09:29.440 How's it looking?
00:09:30.960 Well, thousands of people are sharing my message.
00:09:34.080 Thousands of people are actually emailing my entire team saying that they support me.
00:09:38.960 I walk the streets of my district, and I hand out flyers, and they tell me,
00:09:43.160 Valentina, I completely agree with you.
00:09:44.780 Thank you for standing up for us.
00:09:46.080 Thank you for speaking the truth and facing these demons that are taking over Texas
00:09:49.300 and trying to destroy the American way of life because that's exactly what they're doing,
00:09:52.660 trying to destroy it, and I want to protect it.
00:09:55.060 I want to share with you, you may have seen this or maybe not.
00:09:59.500 A few days ago, I told the story of an antiquarian bookseller.
00:10:04.740 So this is a bookseller who sells antiquarian books, who had agreed to come on my show.
00:10:11.880 And all I was going to do – are you familiar with the story?
00:10:14.980 Because you're smiling.
00:10:15.800 Are you familiar?
00:10:16.260 No, I have no idea, to be honest.
00:10:18.340 Okay, because I'm –
00:10:18.920 But they don't agree to come on your show.
00:10:20.260 It's because they're afraid to debate their ideas.
00:10:22.400 I told you that I'm fine with any topic you want to talk about.
00:10:26.160 I'm an open book, so fire away.
00:10:28.680 But these people shy away because they have something to hide
00:10:31.320 because they know they're going to be proven wrong.
00:10:33.080 Right.
00:10:33.520 So in addition to what you just said, so he – I guess after he agreed to come on my show
00:10:39.260 where, you know, he said, I only want to talk about books, you know,
00:10:42.720 because he was worried that I might ask him about anything political and so on.
00:10:45.700 I said, absolutely, there's no problem.
00:10:47.560 You know, I don't impose a particular subject on my guests.
00:10:51.200 If you only want to restrict it to books, I'm perfectly happy to do that.
00:10:54.100 Then he probably went ahead and did his, you know, a bit of deep dive into me
00:10:58.320 and realized that, you know, I do tackle political topics.
00:11:02.580 And so he came back and said, well, look, I've got a very big TikTok following
00:11:06.580 and a big Instagram following, and I spent many years building it.
00:11:10.200 And the reason why I am so popular is because I am apolitical.
00:11:13.560 So unfortunately, I'm going to have to decline to come on your show.
00:11:16.700 And I thought to myself, that is exactly the reason why the West is in the position that it's in.
00:11:24.740 Because we're not even asking him to have the courage of speaking out.
00:11:29.600 All I'm asking him is to come on my show to talk about his business, but he was too afraid.
00:11:35.000 And so actually, I'll be very honest with you.
00:11:37.560 After, you know, I saw the – you know, I already get a lot of death threats myself,
00:11:41.040 although my message is a lot softer in the way I deliver than you do.
00:11:45.140 I said – my wife even looked at me and said, well, do you want to get the headaches
00:11:48.460 that might be associated with you speaking to this woman, meaning you?
00:11:52.820 And I said, what kind of fighter for freedom would I be if I suddenly decided
00:11:59.980 I don't want to speak to Valentina because some other idiot might be angry that I spoke to her?
00:12:05.840 So there you go.
00:12:06.460 I am committed to being true to my principles.
00:12:10.260 Please tell your wife I said hello.
00:12:12.080 Hopefully, she supports me as well.
00:12:14.260 I just say things in a very different way.
00:12:16.640 I actually put it on video.
00:12:18.140 I say what everybody else is thinking.
00:12:19.920 And God, this is a new generation.
00:12:22.720 Yeah.
00:12:23.100 New generation, new political landscape.
00:12:25.300 So I work with what I've got, and I fight fire with fire.
00:12:28.800 Do you have a sense in terms of how your campaign is going, whether there are particular demographic
00:12:36.680 groups that are more likely to support your direct style than other?
00:12:41.580 For example, you might say, the younger generation is more open to my style than the older, or men
00:12:46.580 more than women.
00:12:47.320 Do you have any sense of those types of patterns?
00:12:50.540 God, we have gone so far left that people need change.
00:12:54.940 People want this message.
00:12:56.500 They seek it.
00:12:57.360 They need a warrior in Congress because we have a bunch of clowns in Congress that are
00:13:01.200 only good at trading stocks, betraying us, letting people go like Fauci, Mallorca, Hunter
00:13:06.540 Biden, Liz Cheney, and they don't actually fight for any of us.
00:13:10.800 You know what I'm already fantasizing about if you were to ever make it to Congress?
00:13:15.500 A one-on-one MMA fight between you and AOC.
00:13:20.940 Can we make that happen?
00:13:21.680 When I make it to Congress.
00:13:22.980 And I actually made that comment just for fun.
00:13:26.280 I told Dana White, Dana White, set it up.
00:13:28.460 I'm not afraid to debate or to fight.
00:13:30.860 So let's do it.
00:13:32.180 And is there any hope that that might happen?
00:13:36.020 These fists are bisexual, God.
00:13:39.340 They're ready at any time.
00:13:41.520 Wow.
00:13:42.040 Wow.
00:13:42.380 Wow.
00:13:42.600 Wow.
00:13:43.060 Thank God that I'm not your father because I would be worried all day long about your safety.
00:13:48.340 This is when I'm happy that I have the daughter that I have.
00:13:51.420 Listen, anything else you want to discuss or share?
00:13:54.560 I wanted to at least give you a forum to share your ideas.
00:13:57.940 I like to humanize people because I saw how everybody said you're a monster, you're this,
00:14:02.160 you're that.
00:14:02.960 As I said, some people may disagree with your style, but certainly the gist of your message
00:14:08.220 is one that people should listen to.
00:14:10.040 Anything else you want to add before we wrap this beauty up?
00:14:13.380 Well, God, I love America.
00:14:16.000 I'm going to fight for America.
00:14:17.600 And I want to talk about also what's happening in the UK.
00:14:20.820 The UK took the guns, took the swords, and they have been raped.
00:14:25.020 Their women are completely raped.
00:14:26.780 And God, if you look at the UK, you see that the most famous name in the UK is not David
00:14:33.060 Beckham or Valentin as much as I would like it.
00:14:35.600 It's Mohammed.
00:14:37.000 The mayor of London is a Muslim.
00:14:38.980 The mayor of Birmingham is a Muslim.
00:14:40.500 The mayor of Luton is a Muslim.
00:14:43.200 The UK has been conquered by Muslims.
00:14:46.080 So they either wake up or lose their entire nation.
00:14:50.540 As we say in the Middle East, inshallah.
00:14:54.960 Valentina, thank you so much for coming on.
00:14:56.520 Stay on the line so that we can say goodbye offline.
00:14:59.940 I wish you the best of luck with your campaign.
00:15:02.040 Please stay safe and keep continuing being a honey badger.
00:15:05.460 You as well, Gad.
00:15:06.760 God bless you.
00:15:07.460 Talk to you soon.
00:15:08.280 Thank you so much.
00:15:08.940 Cheers.
