• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I want to start with this. Of course it's hot, right,
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: it's uh your why because it feels like I brought
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: some of that Puerto Rican sunshine back with me from
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: the SEATPAC conference. But not to worry. I'm not gonna,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: you know, dance my way through the news. We're gonna
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: do it like we always do, keeping it real. Uh
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: what a dash, just a free though, right, you have
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: to keep a spicy And as you know, I just
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: came back from speaking at the inaugural SEATPAC conference in
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rico. It really was a blast, and man, Betancia, right,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: what an experience it was, Familia. I really enjoyed it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I was hosted by my friends at Latino Wall Street.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Shout out to them, Tony Delgado and Gaby Rospi and
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: they put on a fantastic event. A big shout out
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: to Ugo Sanchez. He's the founder of the Modi app
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: as well. He was intimately involved in the details of
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: this event and they really executed it well. I met
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: with a lot of really sharp and ves and a
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: bunch of really energetic patriots and really forward thinking people
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: that are making moves on the island and across the US.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I even sat down with the Merengue Legend, my partner
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: from our venture on a Festiva TV on the Roku network.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Ohdo solely though, right, Ravula Costa sat down with me
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: to talk about his upcoming presidential campaign, and I'll get
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: you the audio on that, likely tomorrow, and i'll get
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: a video clip of that as well tomorrow. I don't
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: think we're gonna have enough time to get it all
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: in there. It's really good and I don't want to
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: cut it short. But he still brings the energy like
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: it's nineteen ninety nine on a dance floor, right, I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: mean that mening is serious. Before there was reggae thong,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: there was him singing about the tangitaroja. So anyway, now
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: he's still talking about things that are spicy. But it's politics, right,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: It's policy. It's not just the excitement of what's going
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: on in the entertainment world. So lots of crossover appeal
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: on a lot of things, and I want to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: into a lot of that. There will be more highlights
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: from SEAPAC coming up. I'm going to interview a couple
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: of people on their reaction to how SEAPAC went down
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: in Puerto Rico. So keep it locked right here for that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: But I want to start with the governor of Puerto Rico,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: who was there. She was very gracious. She came and
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: offered a fantastic speech, I thought to the crowd at Seapack,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: But there was of course some room for improvement there, right,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: And I say that with all humility and with all respect.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: She didn't lean into one of her biggest wins, right
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: that the power grid transformation was under her watch. She
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: just completed this right, adding voltage. Essentially no major island
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: wide blackouts since she boosted the voltage, shifted towards liquid
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: natural gas LNG to secure energy for the island's future.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: And that move got a lot of support from the
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Trump administration. They put a lot of money into that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: And I got to say, this was a missed opportunity
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: to really remind people. If I were the governor and
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I fixed the problem with Loja bagone, right, the blackout
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: problem on the island, you better believe those say what's
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: your name? My name is blackout fixer, no more blackouts? Right,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I would run the biggest campaign to remind them exactly
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: why I fixed this problem. Yet she's not doing it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Her office isn't doing it. I don't blame her. I
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: think she's modest, and that's okay. That's why you have
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: speech writers to help you be a little less modest.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Not everybody's really good at promoting themselves, like El Toron
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Pitos and all this, magnus to forty fifth and forty
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: seventh President of the United States, Right, Donald J. Trump,
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: He's great at it. I'm the best. We're terrific America first, Right,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: He's terrific. He really is. He understand because he's a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: business he's a marketer. He understands these things. Conversely, the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: governor is a public servant, then she's you know, being modest.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: But her office hasn't been great at promoting this either.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: So I mean, if there's really any falter, I guess
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the buck stops at her, but I would really lay
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: it at the people in her office. And you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a while back, it was last October, had a meeting
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: with her, and you know, she offered to host me
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: at La Fortaleza where we would get together and do
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a one on one interview, and of course that has
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: yet to happen. And whenever we've tried to reach out
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: to that office, you know, it's a run around, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's her giving us the run around.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I really don't. I think, like any good politician, she
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: realizes the reach of this program, especially how we've you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: recently signed this deal in early January to now reach
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: one hundred million homes on Roku, in particular to our
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: partnership with Festiva Media and Festiva TV bringing this show
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: in Spanish through AI translation to one hundred million homes,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: many of them in the Caribbean and South America. These
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: are Spanish speakers and they're getting this show in Spanish.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: So why wouldn't the governor of Puerto Rico want to
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: be on the show? Well it makes sense right now,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: was why we discussed that. But I say all of
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: that to say, yes, of course I'd love to interviewer,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: but that's not the point of it. The point of
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: it is that sometimes you're only as strong as your
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: weakest link, no matter how hard you're trying. And this
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: holds true in business as well. You could be a mastermind,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: but if somebody on your team is dropping the ball
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: on follow up dropping the ball on just understanding who
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the players are and understanding what's what, so that you
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: can advance your agenda, your business forward, you're creating more
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: work for yourself and potentially missing out an opportunity. So
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: I say all that to say kudos to Governor Jennifer
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Monzidees Colonne jay Go because as she in effect has
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: truly fixed the problem with lojaagone. The grid of course
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: needs more work, but by and large the bleeding has stopped,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and that is to her credit. Now, I want to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: get into tonight's rundown of what I want to talk about,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: because you know, there's a lot on my plate. Obviously
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: there's a lot going on, live breaking news San Diego
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: mosque shooting, there was, it's still going on. So I mean,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: i'll bring you some details on that maybe in the
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: third segment as we get a little bit more of
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: a handle on what's going on. It's you know, it's
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: a developing story. We've got President Trump's visit to China.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: There's always fireworks on those two sit down. Shi Jingping
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: reportedly agreeing that Ran cannot control the Strait of hor moves.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: This is a game changer for energy markets and global security.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I want to get into that when we get on
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: that topic, because I think this is a really big
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: deal ed Trumpito arriving in China, and of course you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: they're waving flags over their head and there's all this
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: you know, welcoming committee. Very different than when Barack Obama
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: was in China meeting with she, or when even when
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Richard Nixon was meeting with the Chinese president back then.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So this is my point here. They say that ed
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: trumpitos and all this magnus the forty fifth to forty
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: seventh president of these United States. He is the most
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: hated man, right, He's the worst president. They hate him.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: They're making you know, puppets of him and effigy and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: now come on, this guy is received in the Arab
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: countries like a rock star, now in the Asian countries
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: like a rock star. How am I supposed to believe
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: that he's hated all around the world. I'm not. Then
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: we got CNN. CNN is already reporting a loss for
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Senator Cassidy, who was challenged by the administration President Trump
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: taking aim at Cassidy in particular, taking aim at Thomas Massey.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: And that election is tomorrow on Tuesday, Right, this is
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: going to be an interesting I guess Litmus, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: how strong is the President's support, and I think it's
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: very strong. And there's some breaking news on that. There's
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: a story coming out about some involvement with Lauren Bobert,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: and I don't like to get into that stuff, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I think it's just interesting how this little October surprise
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: is coming out right now. So I will bring you,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: you know, some clips on this interview that was conducted
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: of a staffer that had a lot to say with
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: respect to that, So keep it locked right here. We're
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: going to do that in a couple of segments as well.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: And you remember the guy that looked like the crypt keeper,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: like from Tails from the Crypt, you know, like the
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: long hair just on the sides, kind of bald, looked
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: like a skeleton. He's actually a sitting congressman and he
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: was eating chicken on the house floor with a bucket
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of fried chicken. Well, anyway, that congressman, Steve Cohen, he's out.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: He's been redistricted out, just like Jasmine Croquetta. And guess
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: what he's crying all about it. We have a clip
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: on that. I'm going to bring you that in a
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: little bit as well. But I just thought it was
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: pretty funny because you know, I'd never seen a sitting
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: member of the House of Representatives eating fried chicken on
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the floor of the house, but another one bites the
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: dust thanks to fair maps. Right, that's what we could say.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: The registricting process is working and I'm happy to see that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: And it just really is interesting to see. Right, it
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: keeps happening. They keep losing in court. It's good time
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: to be alive right now. Anyway, We're also going to
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: check in on the Luigi Mangione murder trial. That's the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: guy who shot the United Healthcare CEO. And guess what,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: there's a couple updates in that that are really, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: want to say, eerie, but and these comments are even
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: more eerie. But maybe you have a different opinion. Again,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: if you want to disagree with me, the number eight
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: seven seven Valdes one plus. There's also cryptocurrency. I want
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: to talk about that. JP Morgan recently completed a cross
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: border transfer to test how they could settle this movement
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: of funds and how quickly they came in under five seconds,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: moving money onto the XRP let and we're going to
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: talk about what that means for the price of XRP coins,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: which were not used in that process. We'll dig into
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the implications of that a little bit later as well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Because we need freedom of innovation, we need sound money,
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: we need all of that. And of course there's so
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: much more to talk about about Seapack, my interactions, some
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: of the people I met, some of the great times
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I had outside of Seapack. Being at Puerto Rico is
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: a vibe overall. I never want to come back home,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: but the Mosquitoes did kind of help me to say,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: come on, go to little stop for you to go
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: back home. So I'm here. I'm back, happy to be here.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I missed you guys tremendously. It is an honor and
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: a blessing to be here. I am Rich valdesk keep
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: it locked right here. Don't go anywhere.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and he's breaking it down.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Oh he's still handsome.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: What's his dame? Rich valdays.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Fun and Jonathan Hunt with an update for us on
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: this situation in Los Angeles.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Hi, Jonathan, Hey, Arthur, and the scene there has certainly
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: calmed down markedly, I would say, just in the last
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: fifteen minutes or so since we last talked.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: To you.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: And when the San Diego Police say that this scene
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: is now active but contained, I don't believe they are
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: referring to active in terms of the shooter. That part
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: of it seems to be non active. When they say active,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: I believe it means in terms of their investigation. Just
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: from what we are seeing on the ground right now,
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: we are still awaiting confirmation of any victims of this shooting.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: One officer, Anthony Carrasco says that he believes people quote
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: have been shot, So we don't know the condition of
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: that person or people. I have seen video which would
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: indicate that somebody certainly took a shot there. Whether that
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: person survived or not, it is not clear to us
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: at this point. And again we're not going to talk
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: about any actual figures or the victims here until we
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: get official confirmation from San Diego Police. But we know
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: that there was an active shooter there. We have seen
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: a police heavily on police going through the buildings on
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: the property of the Islamic Center of San Diego, but
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: as I say, they now seem to be much less
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: intense in their search there. So it appears that the
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: shooting incident itself is over. But the investigation, of course,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: Martha just getting under weigh.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: That's a report from the Fox News channel. Apparently five
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: dead now, including a hero security guard, after cops swarmed
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: this San Diego mosque. Schools in the area were evacuated
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: and checked this out. One of my closest friends growing up,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he grew up here in Jersey. He lives in San Diego.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: He's not in that exact part, but his daughter practices
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: her softball right there outside of that mosque. Thankfully she
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: wasn't there. But total of five people, including two teenaged gunmen,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: have been killed after an active shooter situation at the
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: San Diego mosque. Brought a lot of police out there today. Obviously,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: one of the victims was a mosque security guard who
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: played the pivotal role in saving everybody. This could have
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: been a lot worse. According to the police at the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: press conference, suspects believed to be aged seventeen and nineteen
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: died from self inflicted gunshot wounds. Again, two teenagers who
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: were the gunmen here killed themselves. Shot themselves. Police said
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: this happened during the actual incident. They fled in a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: white BMW and we're found dead inside their vehicle.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: See how many total to deceased. So we have our
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: two suspects that are deceased. We have three victims at
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the Islamic Center. All three are our adults, for a
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: total of five people that are deceased related to this incident. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: So we are actively investigating that right now, UH, to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: figure out and piece together exactly what led to this moment.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And as we get that information confirmed and verified, we'll
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: be back out here providing more details moving Yeah, So,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: thank you, brass.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: So that's what they've got going on there. Absolutely horrible here.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: One member of the Moscow is also killed in the attacker.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: According to the Council on Islamic Relations also known as
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: CARE said, it's unclear if this member was the security
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: guard or a different victim. No children were physically injured.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: That's according to multiple reports. The New York Post here
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: has a picture of one of the deceased people being
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: covered with a tar pier to protect their identity. You
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: see people outside the scene just in tears, and there
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: was some helicopter footage showed one person in a tactical
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: best who appeared to have been shot outside the Islamic Center.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: A photo from the scene shows that dead body, like
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I said, under the yellow tarp, and this is you know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: very unfortunate, right. Nobody wants to see this stuff. But
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: I'm just giving you, you know, an update on what's
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: going on. It's unclear if these two kids were members
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: at this mosque, or who they were, or why they
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: did what they did. I haven't gotten that scoop yet,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: but as soon as I do, you'll have it. But
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: just a horrible thing, truly a horrible thing. I want
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: to switch gears here now. Listen. I am a Christian,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: but I don't care what faith you're a part of.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Nobody should ever have to worry about sending their kid
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: to a pre k school and thinking that somebody's going
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: to shoot your kids up. Nobody should have to worry
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: about I'm going to go to my house of prayer
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: and worry about getting shot now. The reality is it happens.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Happens to the Jews all the time. I'm always cognizant
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: of the fact that somebody could just come into my
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: church on a Sunday and start blasting. It's an unfortunate
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: and uncomfortable part of the current reality that we live in.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: But it's a thing. But nobody should really have to
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: write that shouldn't be a thing. But this is where
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: we are now. As we parse through the information that
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: we have, all I could say is this. Look, I'm
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: not going to do too much speculating. I think we've
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: got to give this a little bit of time. But
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I will say this. A seventeen and a nineteen year
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: old show up and they start shooting at the security guards.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: The security guards starts shooting back. They catch three of
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: these guys, They do the dip, they jump in a
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: BMW and they're out, and then all of a sudden
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: they pull over and they go, all right, it's probably
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: a good idea for us to kill ourselves. What on
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: what planet does that plan make sense? So I'm gonna
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: say to me, if that story is the official story,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: I say, it smells like Gaka. Nope, not passing muster
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: with me. Absolutely not. Cremndo m bust. Now why do
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I say that, Well, because normally that's not how people work,
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: and the only people that are doing that stuff are
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: usually guys that kill their families or people that are
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: themselves killing in the name of religion, and then they
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: they're happy to become martyrs and kill themselves. So these
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: two kids, what was their motivation to go there and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: shoot people in the mosque? If they're from the mosque,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: that doesn't make sense. So if they're anti Islam, let's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: just say they're gonna go there and then they're going
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: to off themselves. It doesn't make any sense. Now, maybe
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: they were asked to do this job, and when they
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: met up with the guy that they were hired to
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: do the job, he said, oh, by the way, let's
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: pretend you guys just shot yourselves. And I'm wiping my
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: hands clean with this. Now I'm you know, every now
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and again, I'm known and guilty for putting on my
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: tinfoil hat to be a conspiracy theorist. And guess what,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I just did it because this story doesn't make any
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: sense to me. You let me know, Am I onto something?
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Am I off my rocker? Is this crazy town and
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: crazy talk? Let me know? Eight seven seven FALDSK one
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: is the phone number. And I really am interested in
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: knowing your thoughts on that, because to me, none of
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: this stuff is adding up. Speaking of adding up, CNN
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: put out a report the numbers leading into these elections
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: that are coming up. You got an election tomorrow in
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Kentucky for Thomas Massey, the congressman who notoriously always goes
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: against Trump. He's a Republican congressman, but he loves to
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: fight with Trump. He's a little bit of a Rand Paul,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: if you will, but you know, way more notorious Rand Paul.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I like Thomas Massey is he doesn't like the Jews
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: and he doesn't like to support Trump and everything else.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm one of the good guys,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: but I don't know how much of one of the
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: good guys he is. But I want you to listen
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: to the CNN report. Check this out. This one is
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: from Harry Enton on CNN. All right, let her rip.
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: I'm back, and this is sort of just going back
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: through the archives to see how bad Bill Cassie did.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: He got twenty five percent of the vote. Okay, I
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: went back and I looked at every single non in pointed,
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: non appointed senator. This, in my mind, was the worst
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: primary showing ever, at least since the end of World
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: War Two. That is how Bill casts is how badly
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: Bill Cassie did. He did worse than every single one,
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: getting twenty five percent of the vote. In a for
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: a senator and a primary.
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: It's literally unheard of.
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: And that is because, of course Donald Trump endorsed against
• 20:48
  Speaker 8: this guy.
• 20:48
  Speaker 9: Look, if you can find a different case of this,
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: Harry looked at every single one and thinks it's the worst.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: Send us, you know, yeah, tweet tweet us. Tweet us
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: if you is Twitter, still think, I don't know, you're
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: exiting us in any case. So President Trump endorsement opponent here,
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: how does President Trump do in general when he endorses
• 21:05
  Speaker 9: in Republican primary?
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: You know, we've quoted the movie Good Burger every single
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: time basically when we've done this. When in fact, you
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: go against President Trump, you go on the grinder and
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: you could just see this. Times Trump endorses have won
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: in GOP primaries. It's about ninety five percent each of
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: the last four cycles. Now, I will not you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: sometimes he endorses and there's no real challenger, but even
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: in those cases, the challengers to the combent have won
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: a majority of the time as well.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: And one of the.
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: Key reasons why that is right is you look at
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: Trump's approval rating within the gopach twenty first century own
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: party approval. At this point in term two, He's still
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: at eighty three percent. That's more popular than Obama was
• 21:42
  Speaker 8: with Democrats, way more popular than George W. Bush was
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: with Republicans back in two thousand and six. So the
• 21:48
  Speaker 8: power of Trump endorsement is still sky high. And we'll
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: see tomorrow if that happens.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: We will see tomorrow if that happens. Again, he's talking
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: about tomorrow's primary. Tomorrow will be in Tuesday, this primary
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: with Bill Cassidy, Senator from Louisiana. Will he fare poorly
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: because El Trompito's going against him? Well? Maybe maybe not.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I think he will. I think what Harry Enton is
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: saying is still factual. President Trump has a lot of coketails.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: He's not on the ballot, but he still has some sway.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: People still want to listen to what he has to say,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: and guess what I get it Now I want to
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: go into something else because in addition to this, right
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Cassidy is definitely in a tough spot. Over here, you
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: also have this what's the story I want to talk
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: about here? Bear with me? Oh yes, it's Massy Gate,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: that's right, Massy Gate, Congressional craziness. So Massy Congress and
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Thomas Massey Trump's been beating him up for months. He's terrible,
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: He's the West. He's the worst congressman ever, basically because
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: he doesn't agree with him. But moreover, it was Ronald
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Reagan's eleventh commandment. The unofficial eleventh commandment was thou shalt
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: not speak hill of your fellow Republican. And that's all
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Thomas Massey has done. He's been coming at Trump for
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: a hot minute. So it turns out that Thomas Massey
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: was seeing a congressional staffer who worked for one of
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: his colleagues, Congressman Victoria Sparts, who I've interviewed in the past.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: She's I think a native of Ukraine. And Miss West,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: who is Cynthia West. She did an interview with Laura Lumer. Now,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I normally don't get into this type of thing, but
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: I think for the sake of our listeners in Louisiana
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: that Won I don't know what's going on. I want
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: to be able to provide you with all of the facts,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to prevent you from knowing everything.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I want to make sure you're empowered and you're enabled.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to play you a clip of this
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: interview that they conducted, and so it's a couple of
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: minutes long. But what this woman basically says here is
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: it's a lot. I mean, she really she puts a
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: lot out there. All right, listen to this.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: When you say you knew that he had been speaking
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: to another woman before you, you're talking about romantically, right,
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: So this is pretty pretty fast because we're talking August thirtieth,
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: and you said that he reached out to you a
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: week before then, right, So that would have been the
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: third week of August, and his wife had only died
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: a month and a half prior to that. How many
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: women are we talking about that you at least know
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: about that he had sexual relationships with in the immediate
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: aftermath of his wife dying before in your relationship two
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: months after he didn't have an intimate relationship with the
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: per person that he had met from X and he
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: had just talked to that person. I know there was
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: an intimate relationship before me though, and you know that
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: that was with I.
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: I know there's there's speculation.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: I just don't I don't feel comfortable. Did he ever
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: tell you who it was with? Because I mean, if
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: he told you who it was with, and mean that
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: those are his words. Who did he say it was with?
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: I'm a congresswoman. Do we know that congress woman is.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Wow? So all sorts of allegations there are going on
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: with this Thomas Massey stuff, and this is is getting
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: hot in her right, is getting hot in here. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: don't know what to tell you. I don't like to
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: get into the political dirt and mudsling, and that's why
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I stopped the tape here. I don't want to get
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: into mentioning people and all that stuff. I don't know
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the veracity of these claims. I'm here to let you
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: know that these are the claims that are going on right.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: This is what's being said right now by Thomas Massey
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: and congression colleague and a congressional staffer and all this stuff.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: And I've got to tell you that does not bode well. Now,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: I don't care, right if you tell me Thomas Massey's
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: out there and you know he's in these streets, what
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: do I meek? I mean, okay, is that Thomas Massey?
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: What do I care about what Thomas Massey's doing right?
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: As long as he's doing a good job. And I
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: think you know he was elected initially because people believed
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: he could do a good job. But I think people
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: also thought that he was going to help share their values,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: their America First agenda, and he's not doing that, and
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: he's not helpful to the president who needs all the
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: help he can get to move forward this aggressive program
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: that he has. So what happens, well, I would suspect
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: what happens here is that this is a big moment.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: This is a big moment to let everybody know who
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: wins right now? Is it the anti MAGA America First
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: crowd or the MAGA America First crowd who's actually gonna
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: be victorious? Because that's going to put some wind in
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the sails of either one of those movements. And that's
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: just how it goes, right, I mean, there's nothing I could.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I can't change thefects, right Ultimately, it be like that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Now I want to get into this because this is
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: pretty interesting stuff. Back in the days, it was you know,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Luke Skywalker and Rob Bass and these guys that that
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: you know, don't stop, get it, get it, let me
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: see you. Due to Brent right now, now that's turned
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: into all sorts of music, twerking and whatnot. And one
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: congressional candidate in Michigan is trying to twork her way
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: to Capitol Hill. I don't know if it's going to
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: work or not, but she could care less. This Democrat
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: congressional candidate in Michigan. She's being roasted over a series
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: of TikTok campaign videos that show her twerking, lip syncing,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: and posing in front of banners that scream the P
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: word followed by the word power, Pee power. You fill
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: in the blank. Her name is Shelby Campbell. She's thirty
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: two years old. She's a single mom, and she's flooded
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: her social media with clips of herself dancing, responding to haters,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: and spouting her political views as part of a campaign
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: for Michigan's thirteenth congressional district, which includes part of Detroit
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: in several of the suburbs. Some of Campbell's outrageous clips
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: have exploded online, some of them racking up millions of views,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: while critics are saying that she's proof that Democrats are
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: not sending their best. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm looking
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: at screen grabs of this right now, and she's wearing
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: like a romper. She's on her own kitchen sink on
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: top of it. She's standing squatting drinking what looks like,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know, like a bud light or something. One
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: of the comments here says, what kind of ethical person
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: are you? Another one says same thing. I guess it's
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: the same photo. Why they posted so many times? I
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: have no idea. I guess multiple versions of the twork
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: position of her blowing her own back out anyway. Michigan
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Democrat Shelby Campbell her strategy. She's twerking for votes right,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: and she thinks that's gonna win and it's going to
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: get her into the House of Representatives. Then she has
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: another video where she says, I am a C word,
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: as in see you next Tuesday. She said, but what
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: would you know? Would you even know if you saw
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: and she mentions another part of the female genitalia that
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: starts with a C, saying would you even know one
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: if you saw one? Another video has her twerking and
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: crouching down on the kitchen counters saying I am an
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: ethical person and I'm a classy B word, ain't I man?
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I go listen for nothing else. She's very funny right now.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I know a thing or two about this. I never
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: ran for Congress. But at one point I did consider
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: a run against my least favorite congresswoman from the Bronx
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: and Queens Ale, sandri El Cacio Cortes, aoc all out crazy,
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: and my thought was, you know, she's a looka and
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna run against her again. I was just thinking
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: about it. I didn't want to lose my radio job.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: At the time, I was on the air in New
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: York City, number one market in the world, and to me,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: it made sense for me to stay in my broadcasting gig.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to interview her. And next month, as
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: I do every year, next month will be the eighth
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: anniversary of me asking the congresswoman during the Puerto Rican
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City, which we
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: were both marching in of me asking her to join
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: my show because her office wasn't responding to our producer's requests,
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: and have her discussion with me, to have a debate
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: about her thoughts on socialism and my thoughts on free enterprise.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: And guess what, she literally ran across the street. Don't
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: believe me, look it up. It's all over the internet.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: New York Posts was right there. They captured the whole thing.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: With their photographer who was right ten feet away from
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: me as this whole thing went down, and he captured
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: pictures and video of AOC actually jogging from one side
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: a Fifth Avenue to the other side. She says she
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: was there to give high fives to some of her supporters.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: I say, she literally saw me and took off running,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: and of course her team turned around and called me
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: a stalker. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: But I understand what type of hype goes into a
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: congressional campaign. So this woman with her tworking for votes,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I think she's going to get a lot of attention
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: and whether she's going to get a lot of a vote,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: a lot of votes, excuse me, that remains to be seen. Anyway,
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: there is more to come. And want to talk about Seapack,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: some of the things that happened there. Seapack in Puerto Rico,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: the first ever seapack. For those of you who saw
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: me on news Max this weekend, I was talking about that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: Big shout out to John Tobacco, the host of Wise
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Guys on news Max TV, who graciously also did a
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: shout out for Sea Pac Puerto Rico. When he and
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: I had that interview on news Max this weekend, So
• 32:17

• 32:21

  Speaker 4: thrilled to be in Puerto Rico, the island that my
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: parents are from. Of course, I love the heritage of
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the culture. I love the weather. I don't love the mosquitoes.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: I just want to be on the record. I've been
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: itching and itching and itching. I got bit on the
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: last day. The first few days, no problem. Last day,
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It was a feeding frenzy. They saw
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: my chubby self and they said we're going after anyway.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Happy to be back, Rich Valdez. You're liberty living Latino.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Let me go at Rich Valdez on all of the
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: social media, and I may not get to your calls
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: right now, because there is a lot to cover because
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: I've been out for quite a while. You know, I
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: was off after my birthday and then I took some
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: time to go to Puerto Rico, and I appreciate you
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: guys for sticking with me as I was gallivanting the Caribbean.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: But I will get into some of the ins and
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: outs in the particulars of the Sea pack. I'll do
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit, you know, a little promo video tonight,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: then tomorrow will go deep into the actual conversations that
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: were had there because there was a lot of really,
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: really good stuff that came out of that conference. And
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: on top of that, there's a lot of stuff I
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: want to talk about tonight, right like teen pregnancies are
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: down and forty year old women are having more babies
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: than ever, including more than teen moms. We're going to
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: talk about that in the next segment, as well as
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: the Mangioni update and what's going on with mister Mangioni
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: and his trial for the murder of the CEO of
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: United Healthcare. But I wanted to get into some of
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: the stuff we were talking about before. I mentioned earlier
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: that I was on Newsback's TV this weekend. We shot
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: that right before I left for Puerto Rico and it
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: aired over the weekend. And again I want to give
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: a big shout out to John Tobacco and the folks
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: at Newsmax for plugging my involvement in Seapac Puerto Rico,
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: which we did over the weekends, all of their several
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: hundred million listeners and viewers that participate with the Newsmax network.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: And I say all of that to say, it's important
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: that we make in roads. Right. This has nothing to
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: do with it's America speak English. It has a lot
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: more to do with There's a reason Trump won, right,
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: the same reason he's going after Massie right now, because
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: he's been at odds with him. And then some people
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: saying going after Massi is a bad thing because he
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: represents a faction of the coalition that helped to elect Trump.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: There are people that want limited government, that don't want
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: government spending, that don't want America involvement in our American
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: involvement in anything external. Right, it's America only for them,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: And that's true. There are those people. There are people
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: that are like, I don't care what's going on anywhere.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: Let the world burn down. Around us. We are not
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: the leader of the free world. We just want to
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: focus on what's happening right here in our front yard,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: in our backyard, got it. I think that's a myopic
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: and ignorant view, But that's the view that some people have,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: and they're probably right. Those people are going to drop off.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what. People that are usually that
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: noncommittal and political issues are typically that noncommittal. They're not
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: good for every election. They're good for one election. They
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: don't get what they want, they leave right because they're
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: voting based on self. And believe it or not, most
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: people don't all vote on self. Most people vote on
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: what they think is the greater good. That's the truth.
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: Some people say, oh, would be good for me, But
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I mean there's been many times, at least I know
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: that I have where I've said, oh, you know, this
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: tax policy doesn't benefit me, but it benefits the majority
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: of people in this country. So therefore I'm supporting it, right,
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: because I realize, just because I happen to be in
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: a situation where you know, something might I might have
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: to pay more in taxis or whatever, doesn't mean that
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: everybody has to pay the price I'm not going to
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: sit here and say, to hell with everybody else, let's
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: throw the baby out with the bathwater. Of course, not so.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: I think we're We're going to continue to see people
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: rallying around what's going on with Thomas Massey and whatever.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: And even on the Democrats, there's infighting. Right. Part of
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: what we were talking about in my conversation on Newsmax
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: was AOC all out crazy herself my least favorite congresswoman
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: from the Bronx and Queens, Alexandria Okasha quote, that's an
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: AOC all out crazy. She told Barack Obama in so
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: many words. Listen, well, really, she told CNN or no TMZ,
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: I think we've already had our first gay president. And
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: let me tell you, those are shots fired, right, because
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: this is something that is not largely spoken about by
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: the media. And I've got to say, it's one of
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: those things that it you know, to hear from AOC.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: It's like, man, even a broken clock is right once
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: or twice a day. And I'm not saying that I
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: have any proof that Obama was this. I'm just saying,
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: by and large, this is a widely held belief of
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: many people, right, doesn't mean, it's true, but the fact
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: that she brought it up I thought was like, hmmm,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: shots fired. Listen to AOC This is a few days back,
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: ten days ago. So speaking with TMZ, hey.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: If you could click your fingers and Tucker Carlson his
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: president instead of Donald Trump, would you do it?
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: H I don't know.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, but I it's kind of a
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: toss up.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not really sure.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, last thing, then, what do you think we're gonna
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: have first? Are we going to have a female president first?
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Or a gay president?
• 38:51
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: It's a well, we don't know if we've already had
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: a gay president.
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: That's true.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I think there are chances that maybe we have. But
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you had to guess, what do
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: you think we'll have first? Because a lot of people
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: are like, we tried female candidates a couple times in
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: a row. They didn't work out, so like Democrats are
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: now a little bit hesitant about doing it again. I mean, honestly,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I think anything can happen.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I don't really buy into the skepticism.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: A man has lost almost every presidential election and.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: She goes into her own stuff here. Now what's interesting
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: here is again she threw it out there and her
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: umbrella hold her right, because she's in the street and
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: outside the capital and it's raining and she doesn't even
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: hold her own umbrella. She's like Democrat royalty, Socialist royalty.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: AOC has someone that will hold an umbrella for her.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Talk about the one percent, the billionaires, the billionaires, right,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: that's her Communist grandfather, Bernie Sanders. Always talk about the billionaires,
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: pay affect share, pay affect share. Meanwhile, she's not even
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: doing her fair share of hold holding her own umbrella. Sanga. Anyway,
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: what I wanted to say about this was where does
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: this stuff from AOC come from? Well, maybe it comes
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: from a podcast by Michelle Obama where her husband, Barack Obama,
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: the former president, started talking about why it's so important
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: for young men to have gay men in their life.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Listen to this.
• 40:25
  Speaker 12: That's one of the things that I think a lot
• 40:28
  Speaker 12: of times boys need is.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Not just exposure to.
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: One guy one dad. No matter how good the dad.
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Dad is, he can't be everything. Say what, No matter
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: how good your dad is, he can't be everything. Tell
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: that to most little boys who think their dad is
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: absolutely everything. I mean, this is a girl dad, right,
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: He has two daughters. But come on, I mean, it's
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: not that far off. When you when your daughters are little,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: they think you can do everything too.
• 41:04
  Speaker 12: And then that boy may need somebody to give give
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: the boys some perspective on the dad.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Hold on a second, So a young man needs another
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: man to give him perspective on his dad. What are
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: you saying, President Obama?
• 41:19
  Speaker 12: Right, One of the most valuable things I learned as
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: a guy was I had a gay professor.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: The most valuable thing you learned as a man is
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: that you had a gay professor. Bet okay, by Sie
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: they go ahead.
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: In college at a time when openly gay folks still
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: weren't out of line. Who became one of my favorite
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: professors and was a great guy and would call me
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: out when I started saying stuff that was.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Ignorant, saying stuff that was ignorant. His favorite professor was
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: the gay one. I don't know, is this me being
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: homophobic or is this guy off his rocker here?
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: You need that to just show empathy and kindness.
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: And by the way, you need a gay professor to
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: show you empathy and kindness. What am I missing here?
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Play the tape?
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: You need that person in your friend group, so that
• 42:20
  Speaker 12: if you then have a boy who is who's who's
• 42:24
  Speaker 12: who's gay or non binary or what have you, they
• 42:27
  Speaker 12: have somebody that they can go, Okay, I'm not alone in.
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: This what what? So the most valuable thing he learned
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: was that he had a gay professor, and he says,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: you need that in case you're gay or non binary.
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: How is that the most valuable thing? And why do
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: every why does every boy need that? I can't listen
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: to anymore of that either. That's absolute insanity, and again
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: that is Barack Obama. That's not AI. He was on
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: the Michelle Obama podcast and he said those things. Now,
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: I bring that up to say this infighting isn't exclusive
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: to Trump and Massy or Trump and Cassidy. But we're
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: not fighting like that, right. These guys are fighting on
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: a whole different level where you now have AOC saying
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: we may have had our first gay president and we've
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: got the president's oh, the best thing that ever happened.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Let me be clear. Let me be clear. I had
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: a gay professor and that's the best thing ever, and
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: every kid should have a gay professor. That sounds insane,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: absolute insanity, But some people subscribe to this stuff. Man,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: there was a case just recently. Let me see if
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: I find it here. It is New York Post transgender
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: pedophile witch identifies as a witch who filmed his own
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: seven year old daughter, demands to conduct a nude weaken
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: ritual in New Jersey women's prison. Now, the Wickens are
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: a group of witches. It's like a witch religion Wickens.
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: So this twisted transgender pedophile again I'm reading this from
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: the New York Post, is demanding his women's prison allow
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: him to conduct Wickan witch rituals in the nude, and
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: he wants to do it in the prison yard. He
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: goes by the name of Marina Volts. He's thirty seven
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: years old. He's a biological male born Matthew Volts. He's
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: serving a twenty five year sentence at the Edna May
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: and own seven year old daughter. This is a sick person,
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: and he goes to jail with other sick people because
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: they protect these sick people by not putting them in
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: general population, but sending them to their own pedophile prison.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: At least that's what they do in New Jersey. I
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: believe they have one in Avenel, New Jersey. Anyway. Vols
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: claims to be Wickan and has sued the prison and
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: the New Jersey Department of Corrections and head of Religious Services,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: doctor Joey Lynch Back, in twenty twenty three, for religious discrimination,
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: saying they're not allowing her to practice their religion, being
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: denied access to religious items such as sleeveless wick investments
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: and the ability to worship on Wiccan holidays. Wickens are
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: a pagan religion that first sprang up in England in
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: the nineteen fifties. The people that follow this practice witchcraft
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: and they refer themselves as witches as part of the
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Wiccan religion. We're now in settlement talks with the state
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Attorney General's officer, and I'm sure the State's going to
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: be happy to hand money over or some sort of
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: a reduced or eased sentence. I mean, this is just nuts,
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: but this is what we're dealing with. He also wants
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: to be given the ability to marry his transgender accomplice
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: in the child sex abuse case, a biological man that
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: goes by the name of Ashley Romero. The two men
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: were convicted in twenty twenty two, along with Sean Allen,
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: who lived with them at their Franklin, New Jersey, home
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: operating a pornography production studio specializing in amateur sato masochism, bondage,
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: taboo fetish content, including this guy filming his own seven
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: year old daughter. That's an absolute disgrace. And I gotta
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: tell you, I don't know if this is because I
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: was brought up by parents that were rather traditional from
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rico. But people who do stuff like this in
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rico, they don't even make it to court sometimes
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: because the community takes things into their own hand. And
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: I've seen that plenty of times. There's one video of
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: a guy who they're pulling them out of handcuffs and
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: they're like, you shot the guy twenty one times in
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: his face or something like that, and or stabbed them
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: thirty times or something crazy. And he said, do you
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: have anything to say for yourself? And he said, yeah,
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get anybody else
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: that was supporting what he was doing. He's like, because
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: if they would have sent another one like him, I
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: would have done him into And what they do to
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: this guy, that man had sexually abused that guy's daughter.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: And I couldn't have been more in support of that
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: dad doing what he had to do. So yeah, for
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: anybody who's listening. For the transcript for the record of
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: this program, I am condoning violence when your family is attacked,
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: if someone attacks a member of your family, in particular
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: a sexual assault, which is so egregious, I believe that
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: your right to defend yourself includes hurting those people. Some
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: will say I'm calling for violence. I am. I am
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: calling for violence against anyone that harms children, and we
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: should all be doing the same thing. In my opinion,
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: this man is a disgrace. His two accomplices are a disgrace.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: And like I said, in Puerto Rico and many other
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: parts of the world, this type of thing isn't tolerated.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: There are are lines that just can't be crossed in
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: some communities. And I know this is a dark topic,
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: and I don't like to get into too much of
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: dark stuff. I like to keep it light and have
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: a degree of levity to the show. But I have
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: to say, this is the type of stuff that you know,
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: can can make or break somebody. It can destroy an
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: entire future, and that's not something that any of us
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: should take lightly right. And this is why I think
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: it's important that we reach people, people who take their
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: lives seriously, people that take their faith seriously, people that
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: take their politics seriously, and make sure that we're connecting
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: with these people. And that's exactly what happened at SEAPAC
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: Porto Rico. Right now. We weren't talking about heavy topics
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: like this. We were talking about investing in the American
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: dream and wealth creation and some of the internal struggles
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: that are going on with Puerto Rican politics and some
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: of the successes like I mentioned with Lago, but Novoda
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Jennifer Gonside Quo and the great job that she's doing
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: with respect to the power grid and all of that,
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: and again my critique of her would be, your team
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: needs to do a better job of letting the constituents
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: know how good you're doing, how well you're working with
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: the administration to bring about a remedy to a solution.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Everybody's been screaming about the Puerto Rico power grid, the
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: power grid, and guess what, she's largely up the ampage
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: and the voltage to make sure that power grid continues
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: to function and better than it has before. So again,
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: kudos to Governor Jennifer Gonzalez, Cologne, and of course, you know,
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, what an amazing time I had with just
• 49:36

  Speaker 4: of the Governor's office, and leaders from faith based initiatives, industry, media,
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: just a lot of people that were there, and it
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: was a great series of conversations that were had, not
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: to mention, a great beach party where everybody got to
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: wear their you know, fancy white linen shirt and whatnot.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Just an absolute vibe and I wanted to play that
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: for you, just to give you a little bit of
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: a taste, a little bit of the flavor of what
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: was going on there and to show you that conservatism
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: is alive and well and it's spreading. Right. This is
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: not that Puerto Rican's just became conservatives. They've been conservatives,
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: but finally the infrastructure that's out there right. That big
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: conference that we would make the pilgrimage to at National Harbor, Maryland,
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: it's now mobile, right, and it's going to places like Texas,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: and it's going to places like Hungary, and it's going
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: to places like Argentina and Puerto Rico. And we're seeing
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: changes in places like Bolivia, changes in places like Chile,
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: and it's amazing to see this growth soon a big
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: change coming to Cuba, just as we saw in Venezuela.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: And you've got Raul La Costa, the entertainer that is
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: now running for president as a conservative of the Dominican Republic,
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: which is the neighbor to Puerto Rico. So many things
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: that I don't know. Ten years ago, five years ago,
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: never would have imagined there would be an actual SEAPAC
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: conference in Puerto Rico that would be attended by all
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: of the local conservatives. There. Just absolutely astounding. More on
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: that and tomorrow's show i'll get into actually some of
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: the actual conversations that were had, but really good stuff.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: One guy kept talking about tying in your Christian faith
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: to economics. He was an economist from Spain. Was absolutely
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: terrific and we'll get into that. His name is Antonini.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: He did a great job. Anyway, I mean to go,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: just keep it locked right here. I've got minutes to go.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: We're going to come right back, wrap it up and
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: talk about what's going on with women over forty and
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: how they're outpacing women in their teens with childbearing. Don't
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: go anywhere.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: All right, fall Media, Welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: company on this Monday night, and again more to come.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: On my trip to Puerto Rico. I will bore you
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: with some of the details of the fun stuff I did,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: the fun stuff I ate, and of course I'm gonna
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: give you the juicy stuff. We're gonna break down some
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: of the conferences speakers and what they had to say,
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: which I think is very valuable for you. I'm gonna
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: give you that fly on the wall perspective and breakdown
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: of everything that went down. But I want to talk
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: about here this very interesting stat about women that are
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: now out, women in their forties outpacing younger women like
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: Tina age moms in child rearing check this out.
• 56:02
  Speaker 13: The fertility rate in the US has dropped to an
• 56:05
  Speaker 13: all time low from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four.
• 56:08
  Speaker 13: Birth rates declined across all age groups under thirty five,
• 56:12
  Speaker 13: except for what mothers in their forties, which increased two
• 56:16
  Speaker 13: percent from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four. That's
• 56:18
  Speaker 13: according to a new CDC report. This is Another recent
• 56:21
  Speaker 13: CDC report notes that babies born to black moms and
• 56:25
  Speaker 13: rural moms and teen moms have the highest death rates.
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: In the US.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: How about that for a wild stat Right, teen moms
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: are having more stillborns that their kids aren't living, and
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: forty year old moms, well, guess what, they're having healthy babies.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: So women are waiting longer to have babies. And I've
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: seen that trend.
• 56:44
  Speaker 12: Right.
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: It used to be unheard of for Hispanic women that
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: have kids in their thirties, their first kid at thirty
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: one or so, But that's becoming increasingly normal because times
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: are changing, people aren't moving out as quickly. It's more difficult,
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: especially in this East coast part of the country that
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: I'm in. But I thought it was fascinating that teen
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: moms are becoming more scarce. Right, there's a decrease in that.
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: That's probably a good thing. And at the same time,
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: there's this increase in the forty year olds, which I
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: I think kids are great personally, right, Not for me.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: I don't want any, but it's good that you have some,
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: and it's good that we continue to have them, because,
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: like they mentioned, our birth rates are declining even though
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: our population is increasing. I think we're adding something like
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: ten or twenty million new babies a year despite everybody
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: talking about population control and they're trying to take over.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: We know some would argue we need this population control,
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: not me. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying some
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: might argue that. And ultimately, I thought this was a
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: nice place for us to end our show tonight, because
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: it's a good thing.
• 57:53
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: Who doesn't love a baby, especially if it's a little
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: ubby baby, a little fat baby. But fascinating stuff, right,
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: And I'll give you some of the details on this
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: that I have in front of me. Where did that go?
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: Let's see, we'll go here, We'll go here, boom right here.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: So it's the first time in the United States history
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: that women over forty are having more babies than teenagers.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: This is driven by a seventy three percent decline in
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: teen berths and a one hundred and ninety three percent
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: increase in births to older women. Since nineteen ninety, women
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: over forty now account for four point one percent of
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: all births in the country, slightly beating the teenagers who
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: were at four point zero percent. So look at that.
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: This is a shift, you know, even though it's minuscule,
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: it's historic, and it represents two concurrent trends. One that
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: highly successful public health campaigns to reduce teen pregnancies have
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: been effective, and a growing cultural movement towards delayed motherhood
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: was also effective. Now some of the other reasons, they
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: say that women are having kids in their forties because
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: of career finances, trying to prioritize their higher education, their
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: career establishment, and financial stability before starting a family, which
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: makes a lot of sense. The technology with fertility IVF
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: treatments and whatnot in vitro, this was a thing that
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: wasn't available before. Now I know girls in their late
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: thirties that are freezing their eggs and they're doing it
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: because it makes it way more viable to actually conceive
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: later in life. It's a thing that wasn't a thing before.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: And of course you got people that are intentionally parenting,
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: wanting to travel to Europe and Italy and all the
• 59:35
  Speaker 4: fun things that people do before they have kids instead
• 59:38
  Speaker 4: of after, which it's a lot harder when you have
• 59:41
  Speaker 4: kids that drag along these vacations. So very interesting stuff. Anyway,
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: I wanted to bring you that little tidbit before we
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: wrapped up. Of course, I never end the program without
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: telling you a couple of things. One of the things
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: I want to tell you is that it's important that
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: you stand for something. If you stand for nothing, you'll
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: fall for anything. And the only thing necessary, worry for
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: evil to triumph is for good people like you to
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: sit there and do nothing. So it's time to stand
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: up and do something, and take action in your life,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: take action in your faith, take action for your country.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 4: I start approxima, Take care, good night, and God bless
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: you America. I am Rich Valdess, and this is America.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 5: This is America.
