0:05
Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez powered by politweek dot.
0:09
Speaker 2: Com and Rich Valdees is with us former Christian Administration official.
0:12
Speaker 3: You work for Chris Christie and in policy to a
0:14
Speaker 3: lot of public service stuff.
0:15
Speaker 4: Rich Valdez Communist now with the Washington Times, This is America, Richiev.
0:20
Speaker 2: You're on the air with the Nation of the.
0:21
Speaker 1: Nation with America with your host, Rich Valdez.
0:27
Speaker 4: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdes Valdez with an
0:30
Speaker 4: s at Rich valdest on all of the social media.
0:33
Speaker 4: You're liberty loving Latino and we go seventeen blocks away
0:36
Speaker 4: from Madison Square Garden right here in Times Square, New
0:39
Speaker 4: York City. Blessed and honored to be with you, my
0:41
Speaker 4: wonderful audience for the Thursday night edition of This Is America,
0:45
Speaker 4: our late night national town hall Conversation. Give me a
0:48
Speaker 4: call eight seven seven valdest one. That's eight seven seven
0:52
Speaker 4: eight twenty five thirty three seventy one. Leave me a message.
0:55
Speaker 4: Don't be mute. I get a lot of messages where
0:58
Speaker 4: people get straight to the point. We will make sure
1:01
Speaker 4: you get on this show. And I want to kick
1:04
Speaker 4: it off with what's going on, hitting close to home
1:08
Speaker 4: for so many in my Latino Familia. And that is
1:13
Speaker 4: a huge earthquake, huge, right, huge earthquake rocking Venezuela, seven
1:19
Speaker 4: point five magnitude, one of the strongest in over a century.
1:22
Speaker 4: These twin shocks to earthquakes that leveled buildings, left hundreds dead,
1:27
Speaker 4: thousands injured. My heart obviously going out to the people
1:31
Speaker 4: of Venezuela. When I was thinking about this, I couldn't
1:36
Speaker 4: help but think of, you know, how precious life is
1:40
Speaker 4: when so many of us are getting bent out of
1:42
Speaker 4: shape about how we pay our next bill or whatever.
1:46
Speaker 4: You know, who's falling asleep at the red light in
1:48
Speaker 4: front of us and slowing us down? And these people
1:51
Speaker 4: are thinking about am I going to be able to
1:52
Speaker 4: take my next breath? Or will this piece of cinder
1:54
Speaker 4: block fall on top of me? Am I going to
1:56
Speaker 4: get out of here alive? I'm seeing videos of the
2:00
Speaker 4: last several hours. I saw the videos right after getting
2:03
Speaker 4: off the air from doing the Mark Levin Show last night,
2:06
Speaker 4: and I saw little kids getting rescued like infants, one
2:11
Speaker 4: woman giving birth to a baby in the rubble. I
2:15
Speaker 4: saw a little girl probably three, four, five, six years old,
2:18
Speaker 4: something like that little girl. What elseaw woman, and you know,
2:23
Speaker 4: various people, just lots of everyday people being pulled from
2:27
Speaker 4: the rubble. Godspeed to the people that are out there
2:30
Speaker 4: doing this relief work. Again, God speed and kudos to
2:33
Speaker 4: those governments that are supporting, like the government of the
2:36
Speaker 4: United States, El Trompito pledging the support to help Venezuela,
2:40
Speaker 4: as well as President naib Bukeayley from El Salvadora and
2:45
Speaker 4: many others. And this is important, right even I think
2:48
Speaker 4: Columbia's new president, El Digre, he also waited on this,
2:52
Speaker 4: And it's great to see the humanitarian effort hat that's
2:55
Speaker 4: going on. It's great to see people getting involved. But
2:58
Speaker 4: it's also I think important for me at least and
3:00
Speaker 4: for us as the people to have that perspective, to
3:04
Speaker 4: get humanized again, to make sure we haven't lost touch
3:07
Speaker 4: with society and reality and realizing that so much of
3:11
Speaker 4: what we worry about isn't what we need to be
3:13
Speaker 4: worrying about, right it's these are things that will eventually
3:16
Speaker 4: work themselves out. And life is a lot more precious
3:21
Speaker 4: than I think we we we intend to give it
3:26
Speaker 4: credit for, if that made sense. So anyway, again, thoughts
3:31
Speaker 4: and prayers for the people in Venezuela. And speaking of devastation,
3:36
Speaker 4: there is a devastating policy right here in Nueva Yord.
3:40
Speaker 4: That's right. Mayor Mumdani's rent freeze policy just got approved
3:43
Speaker 4: and now bam, one million rent stabilized apartments locked in
3:48
Speaker 4: at a zero increase. And that sounds great if you're
3:51
Speaker 4: handing out free botella's at the block party, right, But
3:53
Speaker 4: if you're not, what it really means for New York
3:56
Speaker 4: City is that landlords are getting squeezed. Buildings are falling apart.
3:59
Speaker 4: When costs arising, It costs more money to buy paint,
4:02
Speaker 4: it costs more money to buy spackle, it costs more
4:04
Speaker 4: money to keep these buildings clean. And eventually there's going
4:07
Speaker 4: to be fewer places to live because they're not going
4:10
Speaker 4: to be taken care of. They're going to be in,
4:14
Speaker 4: you know, a situation of deferred maintenance. And I'm gonna
4:18
Speaker 4: say permanent repair if they don't get this stuff fixed.
4:22
Speaker 4: And I only know this stuff because again I've bought
4:25
Speaker 4: and sold some property, nothing major, but my network, my
4:31
Speaker 4: immediate circle. There's people in there that do this on
4:34
Speaker 4: a regular and these guys are not huge Donald Trump
4:36
Speaker 4: type of real estate investors. These people are kind of
4:39
Speaker 4: guy that you know. They have a mortgage on several buildings.
4:42
Speaker 4: They have some equity in many of these buildings their homes,
4:45
Speaker 4: and they're the guy cutting the grass. They're the guy
4:48
Speaker 4: that's doing the painting and changing the toilet when it
4:51
Speaker 4: needs changing. And this is what they do full time.
4:55
Speaker 4: And it's a lot of work. And the two guys,
4:57
Speaker 4: I know, both of them are a one man show.
5:00
Speaker 4: And it's remarkable to see what they're able to produce
5:03
Speaker 4: with just themselves. You know, obviously hiring a prommer or
5:05
Speaker 4: hiring a snow removal guy if the plow on their
5:09
Speaker 4: pickup truck doesn't do it all right, that type of thing.
5:13
Speaker 4: But I look at that and I say, you know,
5:15
Speaker 4: these types of policies. While it may sound cruel for
5:19
Speaker 4: some to say, oh, how do you side with the landlords?
5:22
Speaker 4: How do you side against the people renting? You know,
5:24
Speaker 4: weren't you a rented yes, of course, but that's not
5:27
Speaker 4: the issue for me. I think you need a win win, right,
5:30
Speaker 4: And if you side with the landlord versus with the tenant,
5:35
Speaker 4: with the tenant, you get a win for the tenant.
5:38
Speaker 4: So the tenant has a momentary relief or two years
5:43
Speaker 4: in this case of not paying, you know, any type
5:46
Speaker 4: of increase. But along with that is going to come
5:50
Speaker 4: the landlord saying, well, look, if there's no additional money
5:52
Speaker 4: coming in, I'm not going to be able to put
5:54
Speaker 4: additional money into this building. And this is where it
5:58
Speaker 4: becomes tricky, because you want to live in a place
6:00
Speaker 4: that's maintained, whether you live in a house by yourself
6:03
Speaker 4: or you're a landlord or not. Something breaks, you want
6:05
Speaker 4: to fix it. And of course that stuff is budgeted,
6:09
Speaker 4: but sometimes there are things that aren't, things that just happen.
6:13
Speaker 4: Like you know, I have a family member that has
6:15
Speaker 4: a handful of units in their rentals and I don't
6:21
Speaker 4: know last winter, I think he had not one, but
6:23
Speaker 4: two broken pipes because of pipes freezing. That's not something
6:27
Speaker 4: people plan for in a winter. Two broken pipes. These
6:31
Speaker 4: were massive, massive repairs that you know you need to
6:33
Speaker 4: dig in and just a big job. So that's my point.
6:38
Speaker 4: These are things that have to be done. You can't
6:41
Speaker 4: just say well, that's your problem. It's not my problem,
6:43
Speaker 4: mister landlord, you fix it. This is a one man show.
6:47
Speaker 4: This is a guy that's trying to make it, and
6:49
Speaker 4: in trying to make it, is giving you a place
6:51
Speaker 4: to live in exchange for this fee. And if he
6:54
Speaker 4: has to raise that fee because he's got to make
6:56
Speaker 4: a capital improvement, a major repair, to improve something with
7:00
Speaker 4: the infrastructure of the building, the plumbing of the building, electricity,
7:04
Speaker 4: whatever it is, that's not unfair or unreasonable. However, on
7:08
Speaker 4: the flip side of that, it is unfair and unreasonable
7:11
Speaker 4: to tell the landlord, look, you can't get any of
7:13
Speaker 4: this money. This person's going to live here for this much,
7:15
Speaker 4: and that's it. And this is frozen whether they're in
7:18
Speaker 4: a lease or not. If they weren't a leased and
7:20
Speaker 4: they're protected by their lease, that's it. But many landlords
7:24
Speaker 4: trying out the right tenant will say, all right, let's
7:26
Speaker 4: do let's do a one year lease and then you
7:28
Speaker 4: know when we're done. Uh works, everything works out. They
7:31
Speaker 4: give them an introductory rate and then they're like, you know,
7:33
Speaker 4: this is worth twenty seven hundred a month, but i'll
7:36
Speaker 4: do twenty five or i'll do twenty six, you know
7:39
Speaker 4: for this year, and you know, to get them in
7:41
Speaker 4: because they want to hook the right person that's going
7:43
Speaker 4: to stick around for a while. I get it. Everything's
7:46
Speaker 4: business at the end of the day. And that's the
7:49
Speaker 4: part that to me, there is no win win when
7:52
Speaker 4: it's with the tenant. It's just a win for the
7:54
Speaker 4: tenant and everybody else loses, right, the building loses, the
7:58
Speaker 4: immediate neighborhood loses if this place doesn't get its upkeep.
8:03
Speaker 4: So this is gonna be one of those things that
8:06
Speaker 4: opens up the floodgates for more people to leave New York.
8:11
Speaker 4: And if you ask me, this is really the intention,
8:14
Speaker 4: right not. The mayor doesn't want people to leave New York.
8:16
Speaker 4: The mayor wants to own all the property for the city.
8:21
Speaker 4: Because the Democratic Socialists, they believe that if first of all,
8:26
Speaker 4: what they believe is that Marx didn't do socialism right,
8:32
Speaker 4: Castro didn't do it right, Stalin didn't do it right.
8:34
Speaker 4: These guys are our heroes and they they fought the
8:37
Speaker 4: good fight and they laid down the foundation. But what
8:40
Speaker 4: they got wrong was that they needed to harness capitalism
8:44
Speaker 4: to make it do the dirty work for them. Now,
8:47
Speaker 4: who's done that? China? China. China is the modern day example.
8:53
Speaker 2: Right.
8:54
Speaker 4: I saw a debate recently between a real estate or
8:58
Speaker 4: insurance entrepreneur and and a bunch of kids young like
9:02
Speaker 4: college people, and back and forth was you know, China
9:07
Speaker 4: seems to be getting it right. They've lifted up I
9:10
Speaker 4: don't know so many millions of people out of poverty
9:13
Speaker 4: by using capitalism, So using a capitalism using excuse me,
9:17
Speaker 4: using capitalism as a tool as opposed to the fundamental
9:23
Speaker 4: underpinning of your system, just using it to fund your
9:26
Speaker 4: socialist system so that they can quote unquote eradicate poverty.
9:31
Speaker 4: And it just fascinates me. It's a fascinating argument because
9:35
Speaker 4: I think that arguments, and this might be my flaw.
9:40
Speaker 4: I don't think that arguments should be made emotionally. I
9:43
Speaker 4: don't believe that. I think we're talking about dollars and cents,
9:47
Speaker 4: so we should be looking at the black and white
9:48
Speaker 4: of it, not how it makes me feel, or how
9:52
Speaker 4: there's some sort of moral argument or moral obligation as
9:56
Speaker 4: a part of this. But that's the route they always
9:58
Speaker 4: take for me. I believe that eradication of poverty is
10:03
Speaker 4: not necessarily my job, but probably part of my duty
10:09
Speaker 4: as a Christian to support helping the poor, right, because
10:13
Speaker 4: that is what Jesus told me to do to help
10:15
Speaker 4: the poor. Now, he didn't tell me to vote for
10:17
Speaker 4: politicians that are forcing you to help the poor by
10:19
Speaker 4: way of your tax dollars. That's not even cheerful giving anymore. Right,
10:25
Speaker 4: that is coercion. They're forcing you to give. They're forcing
10:29
Speaker 4: me to make money in whatever capacity I make my
10:33
Speaker 4: money in, whether it's you know, selling jewelry, talking on
10:36
Speaker 4: the radio, doing this, doing whatever.
10:39
Speaker 5: And.
10:40
Speaker 4: Taking my money to give it to someone else who's
10:43
Speaker 4: quote unquote in poverty, even if that person is somebody
10:47
Speaker 4: that just moved here from Oregon and is on substance abuse,
10:52
Speaker 4: you know, has the substance abuse problem, is on welfare
10:56
Speaker 4: trying to make their way in the metropolis of the world,
10:59
Speaker 4: New York. And yes, that does happen. I think that's problematic.
11:05
Speaker 4: I think you should stay in Oregon if you don't
11:07
Speaker 4: have money to come to New York, right number one.
11:09
Speaker 4: Number two, you can't force me to be involved in charity.
11:15
Speaker 4: Charity is love, right from the Greek word. That's something
11:18
Speaker 4: I need to do cheerfully and willingly from my own heart.
11:24
Speaker 4: That's what makes it charity. Now when it's forced by
11:28
Speaker 4: the government, because it's for the quote unquote greater good
11:31
Speaker 4: of the people, who's to say that we're not creating
11:34
Speaker 4: a system where people are not going to work, because
11:36
Speaker 4: why I could always take the money from the people
11:39
Speaker 4: at work to get what I need. Do you see
11:42
Speaker 4: what I'm saying? Of course you do. That's the problem
11:45
Speaker 4: with this stuff. While it sounds good in practicality, it's
11:49
Speaker 4: just unenforceable. It's something that has no end. There will
11:54
Speaker 4: never be a good example of oh, here's where socialism
11:57
Speaker 4: really works. Stop it, Rich now you're lying, you're peddling disinformation.
12:01
Speaker 4: What about Denmark? What about Denmark? What about Bernie Sanders?
12:05
Speaker 4: Healthcare is all right? What about Denmark? I mean, if
12:10
Speaker 4: you ask me, it's the same thing. It's a chain
12:12
Speaker 4: in many ways.
12:13
Speaker 2: Right.
12:13
Speaker 4: They tax people that's north of sixty percent, So those
12:19
Speaker 4: people are there is no those people, right, they are
12:24
Speaker 4: the collective. If they want to use that system, that's
12:26
Speaker 4: good for them. That's I get so frustrated here What
12:32
Speaker 4: did they make right? Part of today's talking is about
12:37
Speaker 4: breakthroughs in science, breakthroughs in medicine. When was the last
12:41
Speaker 4: time Denmark contributed to one of those? And I know
12:44
Speaker 4: that they do, they have their their moments, but I
12:48
Speaker 4: mean we literally, and I say we, I mean the
12:50
Speaker 4: United States. We created the light bulb, we discovered electricity,
12:55
Speaker 4: We invented the automobile, the telephone. This is where the
12:59
Speaker 4: innovation is happening. And it's because we're free economically. If
13:07
Speaker 4: we weren't free economically, none of that would have happened.
13:12
Speaker 4: We would be just another one of these states. That's
13:14
Speaker 4: why the chief from NATO praises Trump the way he does,
13:19
Speaker 4: because he sees the bigger picture. Anyway, as you can tell,
13:23
Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of Mamdani's rent freeze, and I
13:26
Speaker 4: was going to say, we'll talk about it more later,
13:28
Speaker 4: but I don't think there's more to talk about it
13:29
Speaker 4: on that topic. Honestly, let me see what else have
13:32
Speaker 4: we got now. Speaking of conservative wins though, because you know,
13:35
Speaker 4: this is a win for the administration, a win for America,
13:40
Speaker 4: unlike the win for Mamdani and the last topic. The
13:44
Speaker 4: Supreme Court just delivered another patriotic victory on immigration, backing
13:48
Speaker 4: the America First Agenda with rulings that allow the country
13:53
Speaker 4: now to turn back asylum seekers at the border before
13:56
Speaker 4: they step foot on US soil, giving them a clear
14:00
Speaker 4: path to n TPS, the Temporary Protective Status for certain
14:04
Speaker 4: countries sounds like sovereignty is becoming great again. And we'll
14:11
Speaker 4: get into that a little bit more as well. But
14:13
Speaker 4: this is a big deal that the Supreme Court six
14:15
Speaker 4: three decision, So kudos to the Supreme Court on that front.
14:20
Speaker 4: Now let's continue and Trumpito, don all this magnus to
14:24
Speaker 4: forty fifth and forty seventh President of these United States,
14:27
Speaker 4: President Donald R.
14:28
Speaker 2: Trump.
14:29
Speaker 4: The man who is cooking over here Familia NATO's top dog,
14:33
Speaker 4: I think his name is Mark Rudy, dropping a lot
14:35
Speaker 4: of praise on the President like he's one of the
14:38
Speaker 4: only adults left in the room. And I got a
14:40
Speaker 4: clip on that. Let me play it for you real quick.
14:42
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
14:42
Speaker 6: Now, I want to take you if you stay here,
14:44
Speaker 6: but I go over to these sports here because I
14:48
Speaker 6: want to show you what this president was able to achieve.
14:52
Speaker 6: And I started with dis charge. Dis Chargement is about
14:56
Speaker 6: the Trump trillion.
14:58
Speaker 7: The Trump billion shows you the increase Europeans and Canadians
15:02
Speaker 7: are paying into defense since you took office in twenty seventeen,
15:07
Speaker 7: twel forty five plus one forty seven a total of
15:10
Speaker 7: extra spent by the Europeans and the Canadians of one
15:13
Speaker 7: point two two hundred when you look at the effect
15:15
Speaker 7: of tween forty seven, so the isolated effect of the
15:18
Speaker 7: extra defense spending.
15:19
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five and then twenty twenty.
15:21
Speaker 6: Six you see almost one hundred and forty billion dollars
15:25
Speaker 6: extra spent nomenal.
15:26
Speaker 2: On defense by the Europeans and the Canadians.
15:29
Speaker 6: And also this year you will against see an increased
15:31
Speaker 6: by about one hundred and twenty billion, which brings a
15:34
Speaker 6: total in two years of over two hundred and fifty
15:36
Speaker 6: billion dollars. I can assure you this is because of Russia,
15:40
Speaker 6: because of the threats, but I'm also absolutely convinced that you,
15:44
Speaker 6: being princes with the United States, being consistently pushing for
15:47
Speaker 6: something which since Eisenhower has not been achieved, which is
15:51
Speaker 6: the Europeans equalizing their defense spending with the United States.
15:54
Speaker 6: This is your evidence dead. When it comes to jobs,
15:58
Speaker 6: look here in totalured and ninety five thousand jobs being
16:03
Speaker 6: supported by investments investments from European companies into the United States.
16:08
Speaker 6: Eighty three thousand jobs supported by that A. Holton, twelve
16:11
Speaker 6: thousand jobs created by the fact that Europeans are massively
16:14
Speaker 6: about half of all their defense spending that comes to
16:17
Speaker 6: defense in this year output it spends in the United
16:19
Speaker 6: States a hold to twelve thousand jobs. Last year they
16:23
Speaker 6: spend fifty four billion dollars on US defense inductional output.
16:27
Speaker 6: There is now an order council locker or the beadlock
16:30
Speaker 6: of three hundred billion, so three hundred billion dollars of
16:34
Speaker 6: defense spending from Europeans buying this in the US over
16:38
Speaker 6: the next couple of years, which is already own the
16:40
Speaker 6: order book. Last year fifty four billion, a total now
16:43
Speaker 6: order book of three hundred billion, totally almost two hundred thousand.
16:47
Speaker 6: These are real jobs, real people like you had yesterday
16:50
Speaker 6: and you've spoken.
16:50
Speaker 4: To that's again Mark Rudy. He's the Secretary General of
16:55
Speaker 4: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization known as NATO, and he's
16:58
Speaker 4: calling this the Trump trillion. He's talking about a trillion
17:02
Speaker 4: dollars that has in effect been injected into the economies
17:06
Speaker 4: of these NATO countries because Trump has asked them to
17:10
Speaker 4: spend more on their defense spending. Just let that sink
17:14
Speaker 4: in for a second. That was money that the United
17:16
Speaker 4: States was paying for before and now because they've had
17:20
Speaker 4: to increase their purchases of defense products, more jobs were
17:26
Speaker 4: created and more money is circulating through their economy. Ain't
17:31
Speaker 4: that some issue? I mean, you gotta love it when
17:35
Speaker 4: things work again, that's a win win. This is I'm
17:38
Speaker 4: going to say, capitalism and action. And this is part
17:41
Speaker 4: of the reason why we're talking about what we're talking about.
17:44
Speaker 4: The Europeans were happy to just take seventy percent of
17:47
Speaker 4: taxes from their people and spend it on healthcare where
17:50
Speaker 4: they killed the robue llev she was too sick and
17:53
Speaker 4: that was it. Call it today. Why because we don't
17:55
Speaker 4: need to spend on our defense so they could claim
17:58
Speaker 4: to be the socialist utopias where everything works hunky dory,
18:02
Speaker 4: fine and dandy. Why because we don't spend on defense here, right,
18:07
Speaker 4: We've got our uncle Joe Biden taking care of that,
18:11
Speaker 4: or our cousin Barack Obama. But now that it's there,
18:16
Speaker 4: they're pop dukes at Trompito and he said, no, I'm
18:20
Speaker 4: not having it. Not having you got to pay, you
18:22
Speaker 4: gotta pay. Guess what, everybody comes out winning, And I
18:27
Speaker 4: think that's a good thing. And there's still so much
18:29
Speaker 4: more straight ahead coming up. So keep it locked right here.
18:33
Speaker 4: And I just wanted to remind you that we've got
18:36
Speaker 4: these hats in honor of America's two hundred and fiftieth
18:38
Speaker 4: birthday celebration. The first dozen people to subscribe, and we've
18:42
Speaker 4: gone through a couple already, so I don't know how
18:44
Speaker 4: many are left. It's while supplies last. But the first
18:47
Speaker 4: dozen that subscribed to the Valdesk VIP no, that's the
18:51
Speaker 4: high tier ad free version of this show. At Rich
18:54
Speaker 4: valdest dot com. We're going to get a free USA

19:03
Speaker 4: you got to sign up for the Valdesk VIP program
19:07
Speaker 4: before this Friday, June twenty sixth, so you got a
19:09
Speaker 4: day today and tomorrow. Head over to Richvaldesk dot com.
19:13
Speaker 4: That's Valdest with an s, Richvaldesk dot com and lock
19:16
Speaker 4: it in before they're gone. And remember we're just getting started,
19:20
Speaker 4: so don't go anywhere. I'm Richvaldesk.
19:23
Speaker 1: This is America, this is America.
19:36
Speaker 4: He's got the best head of hair and podcasting.
19:39
Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdenz.
19:44
Speaker 4: All right for media, Welcome back, Rich Valdez. And nothing
19:47
Speaker 4: fixes the occasional setback or progress if you will, with
19:52
Speaker 4: an Iranian ceasefire, then well a good old fashioned drune strike.
19:57
Speaker 4: Right as we see progress being made, gas isis falling.
20:00
Speaker 4: The strait of horror moves remains open even when the
20:04
Speaker 4: Iranians or the rogue Iranians, right, the ones that are like, oh,
20:07
Speaker 4: I didn't know we were in a cease fire. But
20:10
Speaker 4: you know, even when that stuff is happening, we still
20:14
Speaker 4: are able to hit back, respond in kind, as they
20:17
Speaker 4: would say, and still and still maintain the ceasefire, which
20:22
Speaker 4: is a good thing. Check out this piece from ABC
20:25
Speaker 4: News US.
20:26
Speaker 8: Official confirming that Iran indeed attacked the ship in the
20:29
Speaker 8: Strait of Hormuz with a drone. The attack prompting the
20:32
Speaker 8: International Maritime Organization to pause plans to evacuate more than
20:36
Speaker 8: eleven thousand seafarers still stranded in the region. It's also
20:40
Speaker 8: raising some major questions over whether this attack violates the
20:43
Speaker 8: extremely fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran. What do
20:47
Speaker 8: we know about the attack, Louis Caro.
20:49
Speaker 3: We know that earlier today there was a drone attack
20:52
Speaker 3: on a vessel that had just transited through the Straight
20:54
Speaker 3: of hor Mooz and was very close to the coast
20:57
Speaker 3: of Oman.
20:58
Speaker 4: Now, when the.
20:59
Speaker 3: British group that monitors traffic through the Straight of Hord
21:02
Speaker 3: Moves came out with this report, it was unclear exactly
21:04
Speaker 3: what had happened, but what we did know is that
21:07
Speaker 3: it had come just moments after, excuse me, hours after
21:11
Speaker 3: Iran had made it in public warning that any shifts
21:14
Speaker 3: that did not transit through what they called Iranian approved
21:17
Speaker 3: waters on their way through the Straight of Horror Moves
21:19
Speaker 3: might be subject to some kind of an attack. And
21:22
Speaker 3: what we have from a US official is that, yes,
21:25
Speaker 3: there wasn't an Iranian attack on a vessel that was
21:28
Speaker 3: carried out by an Iranian drone that caused some damage
21:31
Speaker 3: to the ship's bridge, And of course yes, this would
21:34
Speaker 3: be the first time that we now know that there
21:36
Speaker 3: is some kind of a new kind of kinetic incident
21:39
Speaker 3: involving Iran since the signing of that memo of understanding
21:43
Speaker 3: just last week. And as you said, very tenuous situation
21:46
Speaker 3: because over those sixty days that the United States and
21:49
Speaker 3: Iran are supposed to be negotiating further further movement towards
21:55
Speaker 3: an eventual full agreement, there's a lot of instability about
21:59
Speaker 3: what could actual what happened so in previous instances prior
22:02
Speaker 3: to that memoal of understanding, what we did see is
22:04
Speaker 3: that the United States would sometimes carry out retaliatory strikes
22:07
Speaker 3: against some of the Ranian positions that would attack some
22:10
Speaker 3: of the shipping through the strait of horror news. But
22:12
Speaker 3: it's unclear if that's something that we're likely to see now,
22:16
Speaker 3: given again that since this is a brave new world
22:19
Speaker 3: in the news in this era of that mimimal of
22:21
Speaker 3: understanding since last.
22:22
Speaker 4: Week that ABC News is Luis Martinez with that report,
22:27
Speaker 4: and this is something I'm going to dig into just
22:30
Speaker 4: a little bit. I think from observing what's been going
22:33
Speaker 4: on thus far doesn't seem too far fetched, right. I
22:36
Speaker 4: think we create these ideas in our minds or cease fire.
22:39
Speaker 4: I mean, as I said, it's over, we should never
22:41
Speaker 4: see fighting again. And I think you have competing interests here, right,
22:45
Speaker 4: you have the Trump administration and the I should say
22:48
Speaker 4: all the governments, right, all the governments when they entered
22:50
Speaker 4: into these agreements. I do believe the majority of them,
22:53
Speaker 4: I e. Israel, the United States, maybe Saudi and the
22:57
Speaker 4: rest maybe minus Iran and perhaps at times Cutter got
23:05
Speaker 4: the I think most of these people really do want
23:08
Speaker 4: to put it into the fighting. I think Iran is
23:11
Speaker 4: really usually buying time, right, And as you've heard me
23:14
Speaker 4: say here, I really do believe they go, all right,
23:16
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go say we're gonna sign the piece deal. Okay,
23:19
Speaker 4: we're gonna sign the piece deal. But what you're gonna
23:22
Speaker 4: do is say you didn't get the memo. So you'll
23:25
Speaker 4: go and you'll blow up No Sak and you know
23:28
Speaker 4: we'll be like I like, I say, yo, I don't
23:30
Speaker 4: know what happened with that, have no idea, And that's
23:34
Speaker 4: the game we're gonna play because that's the game they
23:37
Speaker 4: know how to play. It's the game they've invented. That's
23:40
Speaker 4: my belief of how this works, but others have different views.
23:44
Speaker 2: So the US.
23:45
Speaker 4: Military strikes Iran right with payback because of the unwarranted
23:52
Speaker 4: drone attack on a cargo ship as the ships are
23:57
Speaker 4: slowly making their way through the strait of her moves,
24:00
Speaker 4: and obviously all the allies around the country are now
24:03
Speaker 4: getting against Iran, saying, hold on a second, I thought
24:05
Speaker 4: we were back in business. We just started lowering the
24:07
Speaker 4: gas prices. You know, what are you guys doing? And
24:11
Speaker 4: I get it. Iran says, well, it hit the US
24:14
Speaker 4: link targets because they felt like it, right, and they
24:20
Speaker 4: hit some in in Bahrain too, saying this is a
24:23
Speaker 4: They just come out here and constantly make the case
24:25
Speaker 4: the United States is negotiating in bad faith. And Bara,
24:29
Speaker 4: that's the guy I'm making fun of, the guy a Ragshie.
24:31
Speaker 4: He's the one that I always see on TV. I
24:33
Speaker 4: know there's a couple others on TV, but he's the
24:34
Speaker 4: one I mainly see anyway. So the Aranian regime, they
24:37
Speaker 4: launched these drone attacks on a series of US targets.
24:40
Speaker 4: Every time there's a problem, right, every time they do
24:43
Speaker 4: something and we hit them back and they retaliate, whether
24:46
Speaker 4: it's going after bases in the region, this is it's
24:49
Speaker 4: the same playbook all the time. They can't do it,
24:52
Speaker 4: they call their friends the Houthis if they If they
24:54
Speaker 4: can't do it, they call their friends has Bolah to
24:57
Speaker 4: do something against Israel as long as there's some sort
24:59
Speaker 4: of payback for like how dare you get in the
25:02
Speaker 4: way of me hitting these ships? That's part of the issue.
25:04
Speaker 4: They don't want to stay put. Now. Is my philosophy
25:07
Speaker 4: the right one here or my take on this where
25:09
Speaker 4: I think that everybody knows what's going on, and they're like,
25:12
Speaker 4: all right, you do this while I do this, and
25:13
Speaker 4: we'll just play dumb. Or are they really saying, look,
25:15
Speaker 4: the Americans are clobbering us. We've got to put an
25:18
Speaker 4: end to this, even if it's for now, and then
25:19
Speaker 4: revisit this later. And then you've got a really radical
25:22
Speaker 4: group that's like, oh, hell no, we're not doing that.
25:24
Speaker 4: We're going to keep going in, and we're gonna keep
25:26
Speaker 4: going in, and we're going to blow up any last
25:28
Speaker 4: thing we can blow up. I guess that would be
25:30
Speaker 4: a decision for history to decide, or for you when
25:34
Speaker 4: you call in on open phon in America eight seven
25:36
Speaker 4: to seven Valdes one, eight seven seven Valds one. Now,
25:41
Speaker 4: something else that has been going on that I want
25:43
Speaker 4: to talk about in addition to these Iranian drone strikes
25:47
Speaker 4: and whatnot, and the potential for retaliation at US targets,
25:51
Speaker 4: which they always do. So don't be surprised if tomorrow
25:55
Speaker 4: or the next day, or the next day or the
25:56
Speaker 4: next day you hear about, well, you know, we had
25:59
Speaker 4: to hit the uh, you know, the the empty building
26:02
Speaker 4: in the American base or we had, you know, because
26:06
Speaker 4: they're what they're doing is they're saving face in most situations, right,
26:10
Speaker 4: they want to show their video the same way when
26:12
Speaker 4: Trump blows up a drug boat and it goes all
26:14
Speaker 4: over the news and you see a little you know, green,
26:17
Speaker 4: black and green video and it has that target bullseye
26:20
Speaker 4: on it and and it blows up everything. Well, same
26:25
Speaker 4: type of thing. The Iranians are out there on their
26:27
Speaker 4: state run television, you know, saying, we are not afraid
26:30
Speaker 4: of the United States. We are going to blow up
26:32
Speaker 4: everything if they do us, we will not. The Islamic
26:34
Speaker 4: Republic of Iran will not be bullied. We will not
26:36
Speaker 4: be cowed.
26:37
Speaker 2: We will not.
26:37
Speaker 4: And they just keep talking and talking and in the
26:40
Speaker 4: name of the Supreme Leader what's his name now the
26:43
Speaker 4: news and you know, and they try to look as
26:49
Speaker 4: official and as strong as they can, and they'll go
26:52
Speaker 4: and they'll blow up, you know, an empty airplane hangar
26:55
Speaker 4: at in Kuwait or in one of the you know,
26:58
Speaker 4: US air bases somewhere close by. And again realizing that
27:03
Speaker 4: every time you do some dumb stuff like that, even
27:05
Speaker 4: if it doesn't kill any Americans, and thank god it doesn't,
27:07
Speaker 4: we're still going to hit you back. And they know
27:11
Speaker 4: that Trump has a super I guess, like a hair
27:15
Speaker 4: trigger for killing people. And when they blow stuff up
27:18
Speaker 4: like bases and empty things that he just says, you know,
27:21
Speaker 4: it's really bad, it's very bad. He has an interesting
27:24
Speaker 4: way of looking at the infrastructure part of things, or
27:26
Speaker 4: you know, meaningless targets, but when it comes to people, obviously,
27:32
Speaker 4: he takes a hardline approach and he starts blowing everything up.
27:35
Speaker 4: So I think they know exactly what they're doing. And
27:38
Speaker 4: this is a very calculated game of pissing match. If
27:44
Speaker 4: you could think of another word good, if not forgive me,
27:47
Speaker 4: but that's the one that comes to mind for me.
27:49
Speaker 4: And then there's this secretary of Rubio doubling down on
27:53
Speaker 4: calling the Iranian leadership radical clerics, because this is exactly
27:58
Speaker 4: how they behave Check this call.
28:00
Speaker 3: Them you did?
28:01
Speaker 9: You used to call them religious, theocratic lunatics.
28:04
Speaker 2: Do you still believe that language applies to the leadership today?
28:07
Speaker 10: Well, it's not that I believe it, it's the fact
28:09
Speaker 10: of the matter. I mean, the Iranian system is led
28:12
Speaker 10: by clerics, radical clerics. That's what it's always been led by,
28:16
Speaker 10: and that's what it continues to be led by that said,
28:20
Speaker 10: we also have to manage the geopolitics of the situation,
28:22
Speaker 10: and there's an opera. If they've changed their mindset, or
28:25
Speaker 10: if they've changed their approach to their relations with the
28:27
Speaker 10: United States and their neighbors, then we're going to give
28:30
Speaker 10: this thing a chance to work. Maybe it's changed. I'm
28:32
Speaker 10: not saying it has. I'm saying the President wants to
28:34
Speaker 10: explore whether that's the case, and if it has, we're
28:37
Speaker 10: going to find out. But we're not going to find
28:38
Speaker 10: out because of what they say. We're going to find
28:40
Speaker 10: out because of what they do. We're going to judge them.
28:42
Speaker 4: By their actions outstanding. That's exactly how it has to be.
28:46
Speaker 4: I mean, it really can't be any other way anyway.
28:49
Speaker 4: I want to hear your thoughts on this and everything
28:51
Speaker 4: else that's going on. We're gonna take a quick pause
28:53
Speaker 4: here just because I want to switch gears and we're
28:55
Speaker 4: going to go to a new topic. I want to
28:58
Speaker 4: do two health segments today because there's two interesting things
29:01
Speaker 4: going on. One of them those what President Trump calls
29:05
Speaker 4: the fat drug. Oh, the fat drug. Yeah, the fat drug.
29:08
Speaker 4: It's now been discovered to have an additional benefit with
29:14
Speaker 4: new research claiming that it can do all sorts of
29:16
Speaker 4: wonderful things that we didn't know. First, they said it
29:18
Speaker 4: could stop gambling, it could stop this, it could stop
29:21
Speaker 4: other addictions besides food. Now they're talking about some complete
29:25
Speaker 4: other scientific breakthrough. Wait till you hear about that. Keep
29:28
Speaker 4: it locked right here. I am Rich Valdess and I
29:29
Speaker 4: am coming right back. Don't move a muscle.
29:32
Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
29:52
Speaker 11: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
29:55
Speaker 11: to speak with Rich Valdees.
29:57
Speaker 1: Oh, very good.
30:00
Speaker 4: They debugged an honor, couldn't you. The honor is all yours,
30:05
Speaker 4: conservative time with a dash of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez.
30:17
Speaker 12: The weight loss drugs are turning into almost miracle drugs. Yes,
30:20
Speaker 12: they certainly help lose weight, which is great for the
30:22
Speaker 12: heart and self esteem, but there is now more news
30:25
Speaker 12: about them. A recent study from the Cleveland Clinic suggests
30:29
Speaker 12: golp one drugs, which these weight loss drugs are, can
30:33
Speaker 12: stop cancer. The study looked at five years of data
30:36
Speaker 12: from more than ten thousand people. Researchers focused on people
30:39
Speaker 12: who were diagnosed with seven different types of cancer. The
30:42
Speaker 12: types included breast cancer, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Researchers
30:46
Speaker 12: looked at patients who started taking GOLP one drugs after
30:50
Speaker 12: they were diagnosed with one of those seven cancers, and
30:53
Speaker 12: the study found in six of the seven cancers, patients
30:55
Speaker 12: were less likely to see their tumors grow. It's fantastic news.
31:02
Speaker 4: Fantastic news. It is. That's amazing. So not only does
31:05
Speaker 4: the fat drug the fat drug, right, these shots, these
31:08
Speaker 4: GLP one agonist drugs, can they help you stop eating
31:13
Speaker 4: and all the other stuff that they do, but now
31:17
Speaker 4: they might slow down cancer from metastasizing. Now this is
31:21
Speaker 4: not conclusive, but this is pretty interesting stuff. Wouldn't you agree?
31:25
Speaker 4: I would yes, of course. Now let me see, let
31:28
Speaker 4: me put this in my British researcher voice. I don't
31:31
Speaker 4: think this is from Britain, but it sounds like it
31:34
Speaker 4: needs a British kind of a voiceover handsome.
31:37
Speaker 13: This is according to NBC News Caitlin Sullivan, GLP one
31:42
Speaker 13: drugs are maybe linked to a lower risk of cancer progression.
31:45
Speaker 13: According to new research that will be presented next week
31:48
Speaker 13: at the American Society of Clinical Oncologies Annual reaching the
31:52
Speaker 13: list of health benefits tied to the diabetes and weight
31:55
Speaker 13: loss drugs has been growing. Approvals have been expanded to
31:59
Speaker 13: reduce the risk of Harme disease, to prevenge worsening kidney disease,
32:04
Speaker 13: and to treat obstructive sleep apnea. You know, I had
32:08
Speaker 13: surgery for obstructive sleep apnea when I was twenty six
32:11
Speaker 13: years old. And this voice that you hear on the
32:14
Speaker 13: radio or on podcast, or on television or wherever you
32:17
Speaker 13: hear me, I got this voice after that.
32:21
Speaker 4: I didn't sound like this before. It was a lot deeper,
32:24
Speaker 4: my voice a lot lower, and I was really upset.
32:28
Speaker 4: I was like, man, I liked my original voice, the
32:30
Speaker 4: one that God gave me, and these doctors gave me
32:32
Speaker 4: this one, and let me tell you, this one seems
32:35
Speaker 4: to have made me more money. My first voice didn't
32:39
Speaker 4: do it. But I wish I had a clip, you
32:43
Speaker 4: know what. The only clip I have. I think I
32:47
Speaker 4: have my voicemail that's probably like twenty years old or something,
32:50
Speaker 4: maybe twenty five years old, that I recorded with my
32:54
Speaker 4: old voice. And if I can figure out a way
32:56
Speaker 4: to get that in a way that you guys can
32:59
Speaker 4: hear it, I will play it for you just so
33:01
Speaker 4: you can hear you know, it's a little bit more
33:03
Speaker 4: like this, a little bit deeper and more youthful, because
33:05
Speaker 4: I was, obviously, you know, in my twenties still. But anyway,
33:08
Speaker 4: just a quick tidbit on that. That's my ADHD kicking
33:11
Speaker 4: in over here. Anyway, continuing, let's go back to the accent,
33:15
Speaker 4: and of course back to the research. The latest research,
33:17
Speaker 4: which is not yet published in a peer reviewed journal,
33:20
Speaker 4: adds to the growing number of early studies showing that
33:23
Speaker 4: GLP ones could have anti cancer effects. Doctor Mark Orland
33:27
Speaker 4: is an internal medicine physician at the Cleveland Clinic, and
33:31
Speaker 4: he led this to I don't think they sound like
33:32
Speaker 4: this in Cleveland, right, Cleveland, That's where Steve Harvey's from.
33:36
Speaker 4: I don't know how to do Steve Harvey. Yeah, he's
33:38
Speaker 4: a he's a class actor. He's a class of his
33:41
Speaker 4: own og Anyway, Orland and his colleagues looked at the
33:46
Speaker 4: patient records from the TRINETTEX Global Health Research Network database,
33:51
Speaker 4: identifying more than ten thousand people who had been diagnosed
33:55
Speaker 4: with one of seven types of cancer breast cancer, cold,
34:00
Speaker 4: rectal cancer, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic and
34:04
Speaker 4: prostate cancer. All the patients had stage one, two, or
34:08
Speaker 4: three of cancer when starting taking the GLP drugs after
34:12
Speaker 4: their cancer diagnosis. Now, it's unclear whether the people in
34:16
Speaker 4: the study were prescribed medication for diabetes or obesity, but
34:20
Speaker 4: as a control, the researchers matched everyone in the GLP
34:23
Speaker 4: one group to people with the same type and stage
34:26
Speaker 4: of cancer and the same comorbidity such as being too fat,
34:31
Speaker 4: what they call obesity, or smoking to make the groups
34:36
Speaker 4: as similar as possible. Now, the difference was that the
34:39
Speaker 4: people in the control groups started taking a different type
34:42
Speaker 4: two diabetes drug called DPP four inhibitor after their cancer diagnosis.
34:48
Speaker 4: In every type of cancer except kidney cancer, the people
34:52
Speaker 4: who started the GLP one medications that's the fat drug,
34:55
Speaker 4: you know, the fat drug, all of them were less
34:59
Speaker 4: likely to have their tumors metastasize or spread. So this
35:03
Speaker 4: was found to slow down the spread of cancer in
35:06
Speaker 4: six of seven cancer studied. This is a big deal.
35:10
Speaker 4: I feel like it kind of came and went very
35:13
Speaker 4: quickly in the news cycle. However, only four of the
35:16
Speaker 4: seven cancers, non small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer,
35:22
Speaker 4: and liver cancer had a statistically significant reduction in people
35:26
Speaker 4: whose cancer advanced. Hey, it's a start. It had an
35:31
Speaker 4: effect on six out of seven, and four of them
35:33
Speaker 4: was statistically significant, according to the study here in this
35:38
Speaker 4: NBC news piece. Now, the largest reductions were seen for
35:42
Speaker 4: lung cancer and breast cancer. People with lung cancer who
35:45
Speaker 4: were on GOLP ones were fifty percent less likely to
35:48
Speaker 4: progress to stage four than those taking a DPP inhibitor,
35:53
Speaker 4: which I don't know what that is, and we probably
35:55
Speaker 4: should have had that as part of this package anyway.
36:00
Speaker 4: For breast cancer, people taking the GLP one, and that's
36:03
Speaker 4: again the GLP one is the fat drug, right, the injections,
36:08
Speaker 4: they were forty three percent less likely to progress. Wow,
36:13
Speaker 4: if you tell me, hey, I got a shot that
36:15
Speaker 4: you could take that not only will fix your blood sugar,
36:18
Speaker 4: which what it was invented for, not only will it
36:21
Speaker 4: help you lose some weight if you're losing weight, because
36:23
Speaker 4: most people that develop the diabetes type two are fat,
36:27
Speaker 4: and it's also going to slow down cancer, which you
36:31
Speaker 4: happen to have. I mean, come on, forty three percent odds,
36:34
Speaker 4: I'll take those all day. The study was observational and
36:39
Speaker 4: cannot prove cause and effect, right, So it's the beginning
36:41
Speaker 4: of something bigger. Randomized clinical trials would need to be
36:45
Speaker 4: conducted in order to prove that GLP ones could slow
36:48
Speaker 4: cancer progression, which I guess once there's funding for that,
36:51
Speaker 4: they're going to go for it. Unless this is propaganda
36:56
Speaker 4: from big pharma, so that people could say, oh, exactly
37:00
Speaker 4: what I just said, Not only will I fix my
37:03
Speaker 4: health issues and lose weight, but if I have any
37:06
Speaker 4: other bad stuff like cancer, then this could fix that too.
37:09
Speaker 4: Now that would be I think reckless and I responsible.
37:12
Speaker 4: My hope is that this is a genuine observation in
37:16
Speaker 4: the study and that this is not one of those
37:19
Speaker 4: big farma things. But you know what, Sadly, we live
37:21
Speaker 4: in a world where you never know. You never know.
37:24
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why it hasn't been mentioned in a peer
37:27
Speaker 4: review journal. That or that is too new. I'm giving
37:29
Speaker 4: it the benefit of the doubt right now. But with
37:31
Speaker 4: that asterisk and that caveat for sure, Doctor Orland said
37:35
Speaker 4: he suspected the benefits observed were likely related to the
37:39
Speaker 4: drug itself, rather than resulting from better controlled diabetes or obesity,
37:43
Speaker 4: which can have an effect on cancer occurrences and outcomes. Yeah,
37:46
Speaker 4: I would agree with that, and I don't know anything
37:47
Speaker 4: about it, but I know if you are not obese,
37:51
Speaker 4: you have a better chance of not getting cancer. So
37:55
Speaker 4: if this helps you to not be obese, I could
37:58
Speaker 4: see how they can make that correlation. He's making the
38:02
Speaker 4: argument that it's the drug itself that's doing that could
38:05
Speaker 4: be I don't know something. I think it's worth studying,
38:08
Speaker 4: kind of like what we talked about yesterday with the marijuana,
38:12
Speaker 4: actually I thought was interesting. Doctor William troy DONAHU he's
38:18
Speaker 4: chief of the Division of Endochronology and Diabetes and Metabolism
38:22
Speaker 4: at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He wasn't involved
38:25
Speaker 4: in the research, but he also hypothesized that the GLP
38:28
Speaker 4: one itself explained the benefits. He worked on a study
38:31
Speaker 4: last year that found that taking a GLP one was
38:34
Speaker 4: linked with reduced risk of developing cancer. AH another study similar,
38:39
Speaker 4: you know, parallel. The new study offered a clue as
38:43
Speaker 4: to why amongst those taking GLP one receptor agonists, those
38:48
Speaker 4: who had tumors had more GLP one receptors were and
38:53
Speaker 4: they were less likely to have their cancer metastasized according
38:57
Speaker 4: to the researchers. So that's two studies where they have similar.
39:00
Speaker 4: Future research will likely focus on better understanding how the
39:04
Speaker 4: number of GLP one receptors on a tumor may make
39:08
Speaker 4: it more or less responsive to GLP one drugs. That's
39:12
Speaker 4: according to doctor Kevin Lee. He's a director of Indiana
39:16
Speaker 4: University's Cancer Center there. So I have a quote from
39:22
Speaker 4: doctor Kevin Lee, and he says, if you target a
39:24
Speaker 4: receptor on the tumor cells, it could interfere with the
39:28
Speaker 4: communication and not allow it to be as good at spreading.
39:32
Speaker 4: It's also possible that targeting the GLP one receptors could
39:35
Speaker 4: interfere with a process called glycolsis glycolysis excuse me, in
39:44
Speaker 4: which cells convert glucose into energy. Messing with glycolysis and
39:49
Speaker 4: tumor cells effectively cuts off a tumor's energy supply. And
39:52
Speaker 4: I've heard that argument before that the what's the word glucose?
39:58
Speaker 4: Glucose in your Bloodhe obviously when you have too much
40:01
Speaker 4: of it, your type two diabetic, that this glucose when
40:09
Speaker 4: you eliminated, like if you were to eliminate it from
40:11
Speaker 4: your body, which is in effect what these drugs help
40:13
Speaker 4: you do. They help you eat less so that you
40:15
Speaker 4: have less glucose in your let's supply, guess what that
40:22
Speaker 4: stuff feeds? Cancer. So I've heard a number of people
40:27
Speaker 4: talking about fasting for a number of that and I'm
40:30
Speaker 4: not recommending don't say. I heard rich fald Does say
40:33
Speaker 4: the fast for three days. Now, I'm not saying that
40:35
Speaker 4: you should. I'm saying that there are people that have
40:38
Speaker 4: and they find that when they hit the seventy two
40:40
Speaker 4: hour mark of fasting. I think this is a process
40:44
Speaker 4: known as autopagie or autophagie. I'm sure I'm saying that wrong,
40:49
Speaker 4: and I like to say things wrong on purpose, but
40:51
Speaker 4: to be memorable. This autophagy or autopagy is where your
40:57
Speaker 4: body starts to rebuild cells after you've completely deprived it
41:03
Speaker 4: of everything, you know, minus water. And this is very
41:07
Speaker 4: good for people that are trying to I guess reset
41:10
Speaker 4: their systems. Maybe we'll have a discussion on that as well.
41:15
Speaker 4: But whatever the mechanism may be, Again, this is back
41:18
Speaker 4: to the quote from doctor Kevin Lee. It's likely that
41:22
Speaker 4: the drugs pack a one two punch, working both on
41:24
Speaker 4: the tumor cells themselves as well as their environment. Cancers
41:28
Speaker 4: are part of a complex ecosystem of the body that
41:30
Speaker 4: makes sense as well, now, these GLP one drugs may
41:33
Speaker 4: tweak the immune system in ways that boosts cancer fighting
41:37
Speaker 4: aspects such as T cells, and it also dampens inflammation,
41:41
Speaker 4: which helps tumors thrive. So that's also a good thing.
41:46
Speaker 4: If it's slowing down or preventing or hampering inflammation, that's
41:51
Speaker 4: good for a lot of ailments, not just this one.
41:55
Speaker 4: Additional studies will look into whether the drugs truly have
41:59
Speaker 4: an IT cancer effect. It's going to dig into whether
42:02
Speaker 4: they may impede some cancers from spreading. And I think
42:07
Speaker 4: there's some promising stuff to come from this stuff, right
42:11
Speaker 4: because you know, it started with semi glutide, then came
42:16
Speaker 4: the onset of truzepetide, we go the zep bound et cetera.
42:24
Speaker 4: And now we have this new one that's I think
42:27
Speaker 4: going into clinical trials right now and should be available
42:31
Speaker 4: maybe early next year, called reritatatride, And we've talked about
42:35
Speaker 4: that before on this program, and it's a triple agonist.
42:41
Speaker 4: The trizeppatite is a double agonist versus the first one,
42:45
Speaker 4: the first GLP agonist, ozepic or semi glutide. So again
42:50
Speaker 4: I don't want to get all technically here, I'm no
42:51
Speaker 4: expert on this stuff. I just read these articles and
42:53
Speaker 4: you know, some of it sticks in my brain. But
42:57
Speaker 4: fascinating stuff to me that when we open our mind,
43:01
Speaker 4: like doctor McCullough, Doctor Peter McCullough who's been on the show,
43:07
Speaker 4: Doctor Jay Batcharia who's now the replacement for doctor Fauci,
43:14
Speaker 4: and the Trump administration, and others that we've had on
43:17
Speaker 4: this program, doctor Robert Malone, they've all suggested that there
43:19
Speaker 4: are you know, off label uses for many drugs that
43:24
Speaker 4: can do a lot of good things. I mean, the
43:26
Speaker 4: main one that was fought tooth and nail by the
43:32
Speaker 4: big pharma was ivermectin during the that hydroxychloroquin right during COVID,
43:38
Speaker 4: and since then they haven't stopped doing research on ivermectin,
43:41
Speaker 4: which has been around for fifty years for you know,
43:44
Speaker 4: horse ParaScience. It's like they famously like to say, and
43:48
Speaker 4: it turns out that some of these cancers act as
43:51
Speaker 4: ParaScience in your system, and this stuff can They're doing
43:56
Speaker 4: research into ivermectin potentially solving or slow various cancer problems.
44:02
Speaker 4: So I'll keep you posted on that as we get
44:04
Speaker 4: more information about that. But very interesting to see what
44:06
Speaker 4: happens when you use, you know, a drug that was
44:09
Speaker 4: created for this, and you use it for that. Probably
44:12
Speaker 4: the most famous example was I think there was a
44:15
Speaker 4: drug created for pulmonary embolisms, if I'm not mistaken, that
44:20
Speaker 4: it was designed to, you know, draw a blood away
44:22
Speaker 4: so that you wouldn't prevent blood clots or something like that,
44:26
Speaker 4: to prevent an embolism. And the unwanted side effect that
44:31
Speaker 4: they found it occurred was men were getting erections. That
44:34
Speaker 4: drug is called viagra, and those people made a fortune
44:37
Speaker 4: with that stuff. Right. Pfizer, I think, is who will
44:39
Speaker 4: put it out and they blew it up, and that
44:42
Speaker 4: was never intended to do that, right, but it quickly
44:45
Speaker 4: became the off label use, which became the on label
44:48
Speaker 4: use because that's I think, by and large what they
44:51
Speaker 4: prescribed viagra for it today. So you never know what
44:54
Speaker 4: you're going to get, right. It's like Forrest Gum said,
44:56
Speaker 4: life is lock a box of chocolates. I don't know
44:58
Speaker 4: why I said that, but I did keep it locked.
45:00
Speaker 4: Right here, it's Rich Valdez coming right back.
45:03
Speaker 1: This is America, This is America.
45:32
Speaker 4: He's making podcasting great again. This is America with Rich
45:36
Speaker 4: Valdez all right, Famia, welcome back. I've got a clip
45:46
Speaker 4: from the Fox News Channel about the immigration case that
45:50
Speaker 4: was in front of the Supreme Court. This is a
45:52
Speaker 4: pretty big deal because they've decided that, amongst other things,
45:57
Speaker 4: I believe part of what Clarence Thomas wrote in the
46:00
Speaker 4: in the opinion was that people that are not in
46:04
Speaker 4: the country legally don't have the same equal protection rights
46:08
Speaker 4: under the Constitution that American citizens do. Another part of
46:13
Speaker 4: it was they said the temporary protected status can be
46:16
Speaker 4: ended for Syrians, and there was also and for Haitians,
46:22
Speaker 4: And there was a third, one big one right that
46:25
Speaker 4: the asylum laws kind of like Trump's remain in Mexico policy.
46:29
Speaker 4: While they said, yeah, that's the law of the land.
46:32
Speaker 4: If you're in Mexico and you're trying to gain asylum
46:35
Speaker 4: and you don't qualify for asylum, we're not going to
46:38
Speaker 4: let you in and figure it out later. We're just
46:40
Speaker 4: not going to let you in. So Stephen Miller was
46:42
Speaker 4: on the Fox News Channel. I got a clip of that.
46:45
Speaker 4: Go ahead, guys, go ahead and play it.
46:46
Speaker 11: In the case of TPS or temporary protected status aka
46:51
Speaker 11: amnesty for Haitian migrants, this is a victory ten years
46:56
Speaker 11: in the making, if you can believe it. In the
46:58
Speaker 11: first Trump administration, President Trump ended TPS for Haitian illegals
47:03
Speaker 11: and was frozen by the courts. The Biden administration came in.
47:07
Speaker 11: They flew Haitians right over the border by airplane, dumped
47:10
Speaker 11: them into American towns all over the country, particularly in Springfield, Ohio,
47:15
Speaker 11: destroying these tight knick communities, and gave them all again
47:18
Speaker 11: this TPS Temporary Protective status, which gives them unfettered access
47:22
Speaker 11: to welfare and other benefits in the United States.
47:25
Speaker 2: Trump ended that benefit.
47:26
Speaker 11: Again here in the second term, even though the statute
47:29
Speaker 11: says that it is judicially unreviewable. I meaning Congress said
47:33
Speaker 11: the courts can't review it. Our rogue radical judges stymied
47:38
Speaker 11: that for the last sixteen months. And again now here
47:41
Speaker 11: we are because of the Supreme Court, and we can
47:43
Speaker 11: finally remove these Haitian illegal migrants from the United States.
47:47
Speaker 11: It is a momentous victory. Albeit this should have never
47:51
Speaker 11: taken ten years.
47:53
Speaker 4: I can agree with that, right, this should not have
47:55
Speaker 4: taken ten years. Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of
47:58
Speaker 4: Staff for Policies, spot on here again, this is mucking
48:01
Speaker 4: things up. The idea here is this is established law
48:05
Speaker 4: that the White House, the executive branch, has this authority.
48:08
Speaker 4: Because they don't like the decision that the White House makes,
48:11
Speaker 4: they say we're gonna sue you. We're gonna do this.
48:13
Speaker 4: It goes to the courts. They're lefty friends. And when
48:16
Speaker 4: I say left the I mean left leaning democrat, progressive, socialist.
48:20
Speaker 4: Do you fill in the blank? Right, I hate Republicans,
48:23
Speaker 4: I hate straight white men, I hate you know those people.
48:25
Speaker 4: And they go ahead and they decide, okay, we're going
48:28
Speaker 4: to come up with some kakammy idea that stops this,
48:30
Speaker 4: and we'll put a temporary hal to temporary pause blah
48:33
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. Right, we see it all the time,
48:35
Speaker 4: every time district court, circuit court, blah blah blah, gets
48:38
Speaker 4: to the Supreme Court and they go, come on, kids,
48:40
Speaker 4: why do you keep bringing this to the adult table
48:43
Speaker 4: knowing that we're going to tell you can't do it.
48:45
Speaker 4: This is fully within their purview and you know it,
48:48
Speaker 4: and that's what ends up happening time and again. Now
48:51
Speaker 4: let's hear about this second case.
48:53
Speaker 9: The court held that someone seeking entry to the US
48:57
Speaker 9: without proper legal status is not deemed to have arrived
49:00
Speaker 9: in the US when standing across the border. In Mexico,
49:05
Speaker 9: Justice Alito, writing for the majority, quote, the law neither
49:08
Speaker 9: entitles such an alien to apply for asylum nor requires
49:12
Speaker 9: an immigration officer to inspect him. In a fiery, lengthy dissent,
49:17
Speaker 9: Justice Sodomayor, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, wrote, quote,
49:21
Speaker 9: more people will turn back and be subjected to violence.
49:25
Speaker 4: What's interesting here is that everybody's going to make the case,
49:27
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, these people are going to go back
49:29
Speaker 4: to bad conditions. I understand that, and I always think
49:32
Speaker 4: about in my house, somebody knocks on my door, help
49:36
Speaker 4: help help. I might help them if they look like
49:38
Speaker 4: they're in some sort of emergent situation danger. But if
49:43
Speaker 4: they're not, they're just simply homeless. They haven't figured out
49:46
Speaker 4: their life. They're in a difficult position. I'll try to
49:49
Speaker 4: do what I can, but I'm not going to open
49:50
Speaker 4: my door to every homeless person that comes to my
49:53
Speaker 4: door and just say, hey, you're welcome to stay here
49:56
Speaker 4: as long as you want. Most of you don't even
49:58
Speaker 4: do that for your family friends, let alone strangers. And
50:03
Speaker 4: we have to look at it. This way. So that
50:06
Speaker 4: makes sense. Now, what is interesting for me is how
50:11
Speaker 4: they will try to say that you're sending people back
50:14
Speaker 4: their lives are on the line. No, no, your life
50:17
Speaker 4: is not on the line. Your status in America is
50:20
Speaker 4: on the line. What happens in your country is a
50:22
Speaker 4: different story. That really is not part of We're not
50:25
Speaker 4: here adjudicating whether you live or die in your country.
50:29
Speaker 4: If you are, you can apply for asylum somewhere else
50:32
Speaker 4: that's closer to your country. And that's how these asylum
50:35
Speaker 4: laws work. And that's why they figured this out the
50:37
Speaker 4: way they did, and they ruled the way they did.
50:40
Speaker 4: It's really not much more I can add. I think
50:41
Speaker 4: this is pretty common sense. Again, you've got to remove
50:43
Speaker 4: emotion and look at the black and white letter of
50:45
Speaker 4: the law. This is not something where we're supposed to start,
50:49
Speaker 4: you know, rationalizing morality here. It's just not It would
50:54
Speaker 4: be immoral in my opinion, to subject this to the
50:58
Speaker 4: United States people. Right. This is It's not like the
51:02
Speaker 4: people are bombarding Haiti, some foreign country where we can say, oh,
51:07
Speaker 4: we're going to send the F fifteen's and help them out.
51:11
Speaker 4: This is a country. It's been plagued by corruption and witchcraft.
51:14
Speaker 4: Mind you, there's not much I can do there. Now,
51:17
Speaker 4: another big win for the Trump administration and really for
51:20
Speaker 4: the United States citizen happened in the Supreme Court today
51:24
Speaker 4: with respect to gun rights. And this one again it's
51:27
Speaker 4: gonna affect people all over the country. But it started
51:30
Speaker 4: in Hawaii, just like the Brunts and was it the
51:33
Speaker 4: bruns and the Brewin decision started in New York. The
51:38
Speaker 4: Brunson decision was that fake phony fraud case that people
51:41
Speaker 4: thought was a real thing. Anyway, bottom line, here is
51:45
Speaker 4: this case out of Hawaii. Big win. Listen to this one.
51:48
Speaker 9: Tell you a little bit about the gun case. This
51:50
Speaker 9: was out of Hawaii, where if you have a concealed
51:52
Speaker 9: carry permit, which takes some doing there, the presumption under
51:55
Speaker 9: Hawaii law was that you couldn't take it on private
51:58
Speaker 9: property unless you've got to express permission from the owner
52:01
Speaker 9: of that private property, so things like shops or restaurants
52:04
Speaker 9: or really any private property. Well, the court shut that
52:07
Speaker 9: down today. They say that arrangement would impose a new
52:09
Speaker 9: burden on permit holders, people whove gotten these concealed carry permits,
52:13
Speaker 9: who will have to somehow obtain permission to carry a
52:15
Speaker 9: firearm on the property before stepping foot. They say the
52:18
Speaker 9: Hawaii law here violates the constitutional right to keep and
52:21
Speaker 9: bear arms. Big win for Second Amendment folks and supporters there.
52:25
Speaker 9: This other decision dealing with the border was about if
52:28
Speaker 9: you have to arrive in the US to start an
52:31
Speaker 9: asylum proceeding or an asylum claim, what if you're held
52:34
Speaker 9: on the side in New Mexico, you're not allowed to
52:36
Speaker 9: come in. Immigration advocates had said people should be accepted there,
52:39
Speaker 9: but the court said no. It says, we decide only
52:42
Speaker 9: that an alien standing in Mexico does not quote unquote
52:45
Speaker 9: arrive in the United States. Thea international immigration law neither
52:50
Speaker 9: entitles such an alien to apply for asylum nor requires
52:52
Speaker 9: an immigration officer to inspect him. So a win for
52:55
Speaker 9: the Trump administration and the border policy that they're trying
52:58
Speaker 9: to control here, saying if you're not in physically US
53:01
Speaker 9: oil soil, you cannot apply for asylum claims. More decisions
53:05
Speaker 9: to come. We're watching.
53:06
Speaker 4: That's Sharon Bream. Shannon I always mess up for day.
53:09
Speaker 4: Forgive me. Shannon Bream from the Fox News Channel. She's
53:13
Speaker 4: a lawyer, she's very smart. And there you go. Those
53:16
Speaker 4: are coming down. We're still waiting for that birthright citizenship case.
53:20
Speaker 4: That's a big deal that's still on the horizon.
53:22
Speaker 14: Now.
53:22
Speaker 4: About a month and a half ago, I'm scrolling on
53:25
Speaker 4: Instagram and I see this video that looks like, you know,
53:29
Speaker 4: one of many men on the Street type of interviews
53:31
Speaker 4: is a guy named Matthew Miller. He's from the Politi
53:34
Speaker 4: Brawl streetcast and he's interviewing people and it's a little
53:39
Speaker 4: tongue in cheek, right, He's he's asking questions like, hey, look,
53:43
Speaker 4: we're signing petitions to try and keep people in the
53:47
Speaker 4: country to prevent their deportation. And as they're like, yeah, sure,
53:51
Speaker 4: screw ice, you know, and they're signing up, he says
53:53
Speaker 4: yeah because you know, the guy he's accused of killing
53:57
Speaker 4: an eighteen year old girl and prior to that he
54:00
Speaker 4: was arrested for shoplifting. And he goes through all this
54:03
Speaker 4: and these people don't bat an eye. They're still filling
54:07
Speaker 4: it out, putting down their email like yeah, sure, don't
54:09
Speaker 4: kill whatever he wants, you cannot deport him. That's it.
54:12
Speaker 4: Bonte now, period the end. And it's remarkable, and he's
54:16
Speaker 4: got a number of videos doing this, but this one
54:18
Speaker 4: in particular stuck out to me why because of what
54:22
Speaker 4: she said? Wait till you hear it all right ahead,
54:25
Speaker 4: play to tape.
54:25
Speaker 2: And to stop Ice from deporting this person who is
54:28
Speaker 2: an illegal immigrant. Do you support that? Yes, we're trying
54:31
Speaker 2: to stop from them from deporting Jose Medina, who was
54:34
Speaker 2: charged last week with shooting and killing an eighteen year
54:37
Speaker 2: old college student. Do you think somebody like that should
54:43
Speaker 2: not be deported?
54:44
Speaker 14: If they are working, they are paying their taxes, they
54:49
Speaker 14: want to support this country.
54:50
Speaker 5: Why they need to be deported?
54:53
Speaker 4: Why should you be deported if you shot and killed
54:55
Speaker 4: an eighteen year old? Oh, heaven forbid. This guy's a
54:59
Speaker 4: law biding citizen. It's like she's not paying attention. So
55:02
Speaker 4: he gives her another shot, and he explains it very clearly.
55:05
Speaker 2: Because she's shot and killed somebody.
55:07
Speaker 14: It depends on why. The question is like, why he
55:11
Speaker 14: wanted to kill somebody?
55:12
Speaker 4: And it's no, it depends on why you wanted to
55:16
Speaker 4: kill somebody. Oh my god, So hold on a second.
55:21
Speaker 4: We don't care that you kill them. I want to
55:23
Speaker 4: know why did you kill them? Now I understand maybe
55:25
Speaker 4: she's saying, maybe this person broke into their home tried
55:28
Speaker 4: to rape their children. Benefit of the doubt here. But
55:32
Speaker 4: hold on, it gets better.
55:34
Speaker 5: It's completely different. They wanted to do it, or they did.
55:38
Speaker 2: It, shot her in the back.
55:40
Speaker 14: I'm sorry this person somebody else? Or what did eighteen
55:44
Speaker 14: years old guy did to this person?
55:46
Speaker 2: Nothing? And it was a girl, an eighteen year old.
55:49
Speaker 4: So now it's what did the eighteen year old guy
55:51
Speaker 4: do to this person? He's explaining, Well, of course it's
55:53
Speaker 4: a girl, and she didn't do anything. She was shot
55:55
Speaker 4: in the back. And as this picture becomes clearer, now
55:59
Speaker 4: she begins to double down like most leftists do because
56:04
Speaker 4: leftists believe in what they believe because of envy and
56:08
Speaker 4: because of self Right, this is all about them. This
56:12
Speaker 4: is the truth of leftism. Right, the truth of the
56:15
Speaker 4: progressive is that this is about them, not about the country,
56:21
Speaker 4: not about the system, not about the greater good, not
56:24
Speaker 4: about doing the right thing, but about them. I can
56:27
Speaker 4: solve your poverty and that person's poverty by taking your
56:30
Speaker 4: money because it makes me feel good, see what I'm saying.
56:33
Speaker 4: But let's go back to this.
56:35
Speaker 2: Well girl who was hanging out with their friends in Chicago.
56:37
Speaker 2: She didn't do anything. She was just innocent.
56:39
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm against killing to anybody.
56:42
Speaker 4: But thank god, you're against killing of anybody.
56:46
Speaker 5: Just departing because something happened.
56:49
Speaker 4: I don't just supporting because something happened, like killing somebody
56:52
Speaker 4: that you happen to be against. Hmmm.
56:55
Speaker 5: I think that it's fear.
57:00
Speaker 2: It's not fair to him to be deported.
57:01
Speaker 5: Just only departing because he killed.
57:07
Speaker 4: I e innito, just deporting him because he only killed somebody.
57:13
Speaker 4: This is a real thing.
57:15
Speaker 14: And if they don't want to think, like why he
57:19
Speaker 14: did that or what happened, like to ask questions and
57:23
Speaker 14: to figure out what happened in general, maybe we don't
57:25
Speaker 14: know some information.
57:28
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to got it.
57:29
Speaker 4: So maybe we're missing some of the facts, right, Maybe
57:31
Speaker 4: there was an altercation between the two. Maybe we don't
57:34
Speaker 4: know that the other person pulled out a gun, right,
57:36
Speaker 4: which didn't happen. But she's trying to be I'm giving
57:39
Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt here. She's trying to be logical.
57:41
Speaker 4: She's trying to give the benefit of the doubt. Am
57:44
Speaker 4: I right or am I wrong? Hold on, let's listen.
57:47
Speaker 2: I think what could she have done to him that
57:49
Speaker 2: would have justified him killing her.
57:51
Speaker 5: It's possible that she was in the wrong place, wrong time.
57:54
Speaker 4: Oh, it's possible that she was in the wrong place
57:57
Speaker 4: at the wrong time. Well, then that would justify him
58:01
Speaker 4: killing her, right, because that was the question, what could
58:03
Speaker 4: she have done to justify him killing her? He gets better,
58:08
Speaker 4: but wait, there's more, really.
58:11
Speaker 14: And it's possible that maybe she said something that he
58:15
Speaker 14: didn't like.
58:16
Speaker 4: Maybe she said something he didn't like, So then it
58:20
Speaker 4: makes sense if she says something he doesn't like, then
58:23
Speaker 4: he's allowed to kill her by shooting her in the back.
58:26
Speaker 4: Is that right, ma'am.
58:27
Speaker 5: I can't judge any of them.
58:29
Speaker 2: Should he be deported if he's convicted, I'm a gaze
58:31
Speaker 2: of deporting.
58:32
Speaker 4: She's listen whether he's where I laugh not because this
58:37
Speaker 4: is funny. It's so sad. I'm laughing because of the
58:40
Speaker 4: nervous energy flying through my body because of incredulity. She's
58:44
Speaker 4: against deportation. But looking, if he did the crime, do
58:48
Speaker 4: the time, so we have to pay for him to
58:50
Speaker 4: go to jail in America rather than sending back this
58:53
Speaker 4: murder or to wherever he came from.
58:55
Speaker 2: Should have compassion for these people, illegal immigrants who shoot
59:00
Speaker 2: people because maybe something happened to them.
59:03
Speaker 5: It's possible maybe they had just a bad day, Like.
59:06
Speaker 4: Oh my god, maybe they had a bad day. So
59:09
Speaker 4: that's what you're gonna tell the parents of this poor
59:11
Speaker 4: girl that was killed eighteen years old. There was an
59:14
Speaker 4: illegal immigrant that was having a bad day and guess
59:17
Speaker 4: what he killed your kid? Are you for real, lady?
59:20
Speaker 4: I hope she sees this video.
59:23
Speaker 5: Let's see okay, So yeah, and nobody knows.
59:26
Speaker 2: We're trying to stop ice.
59:27
Speaker 4: And it restarted there. Let me tell you, this video
59:31
Speaker 4: got me worked up. This is crazy and on the
59:34
Speaker 4: heels of this Supreme Court stuff. I gotta tell you,
59:36
Speaker 4: we need a dose of common sense in this country
59:39
Speaker 4: like we've never seen before. I mean, the utter crazy
59:44
Speaker 4: that is going on and flowing through the American body
59:47
Speaker 4: politic right now is something I've never seen. We've got
59:50
Speaker 4: to stanmd for what we believe in. I always say,
59:52
Speaker 4: if you got to stand for something, because if you
59:54
Speaker 4: stand for nothing, you'll fall for absolutely anything. And the
59:57
Speaker 4: only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good
1:00:01
Speaker 4: people like you to sit there and do nothing. So
1:00:04
Speaker 4: you know what to do. I start approxima, take care,
1:00:07
Speaker 4: good night, and God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez
1:00:10
Speaker 4: and this is America.
1:00:13
Speaker 1: This is America.
