Automated transcript · uncorrectedSunday Morning with us is Reverend Ruben Diaz, also known as Santa Ruben Diaz, and he has worked very hard in New York City in the Bronx, putting together the Puerto Rican community to make sure our city, our state, our country is going in the right direction. Reverend Diaz tell us about it. What does July forth mean to you?
Ui forth means to me a lot. When I came from Puerto Rico in nineteen sixty five, I came with the broken shoes, a poor cardboard inside my shoe because they were broken. I came very in very bad situation, and America I gave me everything that I have. So the blessing, the opportunities and the benefit that I have
obtained from America, I have to be grateful because I have been less. And when four July comes to me, it’s like one of my some birthday, like my birthday, like my wife’s birthday, is something something so uh so personal.
My house. In front of my house, I have an American flag flying outside, telling the whole world that I am a pro American, that I want American to be great again, that those times when I came to America, when I came to New York those times when everything was so nice, when everybody respect that everybody else, When
senior citizens were taken care of, When when the thing was beautiful, respect When when American history used to be each in the classroom, when everybody learns I respected America. So I want those time to go back. And that’s why I’m supporting Donut Trump because because Dona Trump, to me, is the right person to bring America back to what
it was in those times. America.
Yeah, I agree with you, Reverend. I’ve lived in New York City for seventy five years, and I love New York City, and I hate some of the things that are happening. The quality of life. I think we have to make New York City safer and the quality of life.
We have to be careful on these these bicycles going around, these electric bicycles, because people are scared to go across the street sometimes and they’re going up and down the wrong way. What can we do to make New York City safer and the quality of life better for the people that live here.
Well, the first thing that we had to do, We’re gonna have to We don’t have to change Mayo. Maybe maybe we had to let someone that rule of you Leary, because when you learn he came to be Mayo. Uh, the quality of right was something that he brought to to attention that he cleaned the city, He straightened the city,
he cleaned out, Uh, the forty second Street that was what was and and and that’s what we need. I don’t know if Mayo add and we do that so far he had to do it, judge and donn it.
So you know, we need that. The first thing that we had to start thinking we need a strong Mayo. We had a Mayo that started putting New York first and not some especially groups. And other than that, I think that we we will will be able to to bring New York back of what it was now.
You live in the Bronx, uh, and you’ve lived here as long as I have Uh, And tell us about how does the Spanish community feel about things with the migrants coming in? How does the black community in the Bronx feel about things? You have a pretty good pulse of the situation.
Well, that’s that is the world. The worst things that the Democratic Party and President Biden has done because they maybe they thought that by opening the border we part the Hispanic community would be happy. But that is the more distros thing that that’s kales that have that they have brought to America have been the the the akidas Uh.
Heal on them because now even even even the immigrants that are here are against that. So his Spanic are angry, his Spanic attorney, his Spanic no longer supports the Democratic Party are strong as they used to be, and if they don’t change, they’re going to keep losing the Hispanic.
The Hispanic is angry. I’m telling you, I’m here. I’m here. I’m the president of the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization. We have we have one hundred and fifty his Spanic ministry ministers. They all have congregations with people. I’m in the street. I know how the street feel, I know how the people feel. I could say some people try
to talk for us, people that don’t know the community, people that don’t know how how we feel. But I know the community, I know what I’m talking about, and I know how my Hispanic community view. We are angry and we are ready to take the position that we’re supposed to take. This is going to be this is
going to be a rude awakening for the Democratic Party.
Yeah, I was. I was a member of the Democratic Party of one time too, when Bill Clinton was president, and I am very disappointed in what’s happening because the socialists in the Democratic Party are abusing the common sense Democrats and they’re forcing them to be to do the wrong thing.
They are they are so respectful toward children, to our seniors, to our lady that they came THEOC Alexander Acacio Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, they came to the Bronx to some Marria’s party and the vulgar language, the way they they’ve respected our children, the way they were talking, so nasty, so vulgar, that show that they showed no respect for
our community, no respect for our children, no respect for ours in the city safe and that that’s the way the Democratic Party leaders threat us. And they think that we’re gonna vote to both today because they democrat Those times are over. Well.
Reverend Ruben Diaz, thank you for your input, Thank you for what you do for a city or state in our country. God bless you, and God bless America.
Thank you so much, thank you, thank you, and God bless you too. Thank thank you.
