- 0:05Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez powered bipolitweek dot Com
- 0:09Speaker 1: and Rich.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Valdes is with US former Christian Administration official.
- 0:12Speaker 3: You worked at Chris Christieve and Fallisleach a lot of
- 0:14Speaker 3: public service stuff.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Rich Valdez columnists now with Washington Times, This is America, Richiev.
- 0:19Speaker 4: You're on the air with the Nation.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Of the Nation with America with your host, Rich Valdez.
- 0:26Speaker 4: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an
- 0:30Speaker 4: s at Rich Valdesz on all of the social media.
- 0:33Speaker 4: You're liberty loving Latino. I'm go seventeen blocks away from
- 0:36Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden here in Times Square, New York City.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Blessed and honored to be here with you, my wonderful
- 0:42Speaker 4: audience for the Monday night edition of This Is America,
- 0:45Speaker 4: our late night national town hall Conversation. I want to
- 0:48Speaker 4: get it on because this is a lot to discuss
- 0:52Speaker 4: what a busy weekend we had right now. If you
- 0:54Speaker 4: want to chime in on the weekend on the big
- 0:56Speaker 4: developments that are going on, things that we are discussing
- 0:59Speaker 4: on the show, give me a all eight seven seven
- 1:01Speaker 4: Valdes one. That's eight seven seven eight twenty five thirty
- 1:04Speaker 4: three seventy one. Leave a voice message with your opinion.
- 1:07Speaker 4: We will make sure it gets on to the show
- 1:10Speaker 4: during our open Phone in America segment. But first I
- 1:13Speaker 4: want to start with El Trumpito donaldis magnus to forty
- 1:16Speaker 4: fifth and forty seventh president of these United States. El
- 1:19Speaker 4: Presidente dropping another big one on the world stage. That's right,
- 1:23Speaker 4: We've got a memorandum of understanding signed with Iran, the
- 1:27Speaker 4: peace deal has been locked in, and the strait of
- 1:30Speaker 4: horror moves is open. Right, So many ships, I think
- 1:35Speaker 4: something like twenty ships already have gone through the straight
- 1:38Speaker 4: of horn moves. Gas prices are falling like people who've
- 1:43Speaker 4: been drinking a little bit too much pitoro. And that's
- 1:45Speaker 4: a good thing, right, And crude is sitting I think
- 1:48Speaker 4: around seventy three dollars a barrel. Things are starting to
- 1:50Speaker 4: look up, America. So your man's right here. I'm smiling
- 1:54Speaker 4: big because this is a good move. Plus, lower prices
- 1:57Speaker 4: at the pump means what more money in my pocket
- 2:00Speaker 4: in my vot CEO to buy things for the barbecue, right, Anula,
- 2:05Speaker 4: maybe even some snake. If we can get those prices
- 2:07Speaker 4: to come down, that would be fantastic. But some of
- 2:10Speaker 4: the big moves that ed TRUMPETO pulled off is this
- 2:13Speaker 4: new messaging coming from the White House over the weekend
- 2:17Speaker 4: with the straight of hor moves being opened and the
- 2:22Speaker 4: Memorandum of understanding being signed. Listen to what President Trump
- 2:26Speaker 4: had to say earlier today from the Oval Office.
- 2:28Speaker 5: If Iran doesn't live up to their agreement or if
- 2:33Speaker 5: they're not behaving, I will I will.
- 2:36Speaker 6: Do what I have to do.
- 2:37Speaker 5: I think the blockade was more impactful than dropping bombs.
- 2:40Speaker 5: If you want another truth, it was, like I said,
- 2:41Speaker 5: they call it the steel wall. Nobody got through it.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Now one ship got through able to go to Iran.
- 2:47Speaker 6: They got through.
- 2:48Speaker 5: We wanted them to go through, and we could set
- 2:51Speaker 5: that up again in about fifteen minutes. I would say, Pete,
- 2:54Speaker 5: one phone call, tell we would it take maybe half hour?
- 2:57Speaker 5: We go right now before we finished the meeting. No,
- 3:02Speaker 5: we have As long as they respect us, we're going
- 3:06Speaker 5: to be fine. They don't respect us, things wouldn't be good.
- 3:09Speaker 5: But they have a lot of respect.
- 3:11Speaker 6: Trigger fashions on Rainy and will.
- 3:13Speaker 7: Well, I'm going to have to find out exactly the status.
- 3:16Speaker 7: But if the sanctions go out, money is going to
- 3:20Speaker 7: be put into this country. All that money is coming
- 3:22Speaker 7: back in the form of purchases of food, which they
- 3:25Speaker 7: desperately need.
- 3:27Speaker 5: They have ninety one million people.
- 3:28Speaker 6: They can't feed them.
- 3:29Speaker 7: So the money that we lift is going to go
- 3:33Speaker 7: to our farmers, largely to our farmers.
- 3:36Speaker 4: So even in that situation, making it America first. So
- 3:39Speaker 4: kudos to l Trumpito, because I think that's a good thing. A.
- 3:42Speaker 4: We need peace. B we need to make some money.
- 3:44Speaker 5: Right.
- 3:45Speaker 4: The economy needs to continue to grow. And something that
- 3:47Speaker 4: President Trump said that I thought was, you know, worth
- 3:51Speaker 4: a while of r I should say. Noteworthy I've mentioned
- 3:54Speaker 4: is that even while the United States is actively at
- 3:57Speaker 4: war with Iran, we still have gas that is cheaper
- 4:03Speaker 4: than we had under the Biden administration. How about that, right,
- 4:07Speaker 4: I think that part of it does get a little
- 4:10Speaker 4: bit lost. Now, President Trump didn't stop there. He also
- 4:15Speaker 4: had some big moves and some fresh messaging coming out
- 4:18Speaker 4: on quantum computing technology. Quantum now. Of course, putting big
- 4:23Speaker 4: cues on everything made the q Andon gang lose their minds.
- 4:28Speaker 4: They're all up in the group chats right now, you know,
- 4:30Speaker 4: talking about all sorts of crazy stuff. Whether you're into it,
- 4:33Speaker 4: which I'm not or you're just here for the memes
- 4:36Speaker 4: and to make fun of them. This is the type
- 4:38Speaker 4: of forward looking activity right from the President right this
- 4:42Speaker 4: quantum computing activity that I think is necessary to keep America,
- 4:48Speaker 4: you know, cutting edge. Listen to this.
- 4:51Speaker 8: You mentioned your remarks you were the first president history
- 4:53Speaker 8: to prioritize quantum as a scientific priority of United States
- 4:56Speaker 8: government in your first administration, and since then there's been
- 5:00Speaker 8: a big leap in the investment that private sector has
- 5:02Speaker 8: made in this particular domain, and we're now at the
- 5:05Speaker 8: moment where a lot of that research is starting to
- 5:07Speaker 8: pay off into commercial applications. And what this executive order
- 5:10Speaker 8: will do is turbo charge that. First and foremost, it's
- 5:13Speaker 8: going to task Department of Energy to create a scientifically
- 5:16Speaker 8: relevant quantum computer, which is going to help pave the
- 5:20Speaker 8: way for even larger computers for the private sector. Secondly,
- 5:24Speaker 8: we're going to be focusing on sensors and networking, so
- 5:27Speaker 8: agencies a Department of War along with Department of Energy
- 5:29Speaker 8: are doing a wide variety of sensing a networking work.
- 5:32Speaker 8: So this is a big step forward, and as one
- 5:34Speaker 8: of our two top science technology priorities, we're excited to
- 5:38Speaker 8: kick things off today.
- 5:39Speaker 4: So, mister that is the Director of the White House Office,
- 5:45Speaker 4: he's a special assistant to the President, thirteenth off director
- 5:49Speaker 4: of the White House Office of He was previously the
- 5:54Speaker 4: Chief Technology Officer and the Undersecretary of War at the
- 6:00Speaker 4: Department of War. So again those comments coming from Director
- 6:05Speaker 4: Michael Kratzios, and again big stuff. Right, this is how
- 6:10Speaker 4: we stay ahead of the game. This is how we
- 6:12Speaker 4: continue to beat out the competition, right, and make sure
- 6:16Speaker 4: that we win, and we win by a lot. Not
- 6:18Speaker 4: too long ago, I mentioned on this show that I
- 6:22Speaker 4: think the top four air forces are all the United States.
- 6:28Speaker 4: It's like the United States Air Force and then the
- 6:31Speaker 4: Coastguards Air Force and then the Naval Division and all
- 6:36Speaker 4: that the top four. I might be wrong on that
- 6:39Speaker 4: right now. I might be off by a little bit,
- 6:41Speaker 4: but at the time that I mentioned it, it was
- 6:42Speaker 4: a current statistic. So if you want to stay number one,
- 6:47Speaker 4: that's how you do it. And I think that's that's
- 6:49Speaker 4: a quantum hold on. We're going to get President Trump's
- 6:55Speaker 4: comments on the quantum technology go right ahead.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Quantum technologies represents the next generation of innovation across computing, sensing,
- 7:03Speaker 5: and networking with enormous significance of our country's economic growth,
- 7:08Speaker 5: scientific research, in cyber security. It's really a big deal
- 7:12Speaker 5: that we're doing today and countries doing really well. As
- 7:16Speaker 5: you know. In twenty eighteen, I signed the National Quantum
- 7:20Speaker 5: Initiative Act into law, which led to doubling the federal
- 7:24Speaker 5: government investment in quantum research and development. I think you
- 7:27Speaker 5: will know about that. That helped at least billions of
- 7:30Speaker 5: dollars of private investment in America's quantum industrial based promoting
- 7:35Speaker 5: significant scientific and technological progress, like progress like we've never
- 7:40Speaker 5: seen before. Actually, we want to keep that positive momentum
- 7:44Speaker 5: going in America with the orders that I'm signing today,
- 7:48Speaker 5: and these will really have a I think place at
- 7:50Speaker 5: a big step forward. We're already the leader by a lot,
- 7:54Speaker 5: and we're going to be now the leader by a
- 7:55Speaker 5: lot more. The first executive ort to launch is a
- 8:00Speaker 5: effort to produce a quantum computer capable of performing important
- 8:04Speaker 5: scientific calculations and to develop quantum enabled sensors and networks.
- 8:09Speaker 5: And the next five years, and we're going to be
- 8:11Speaker 5: investing in American quantum leadership like never before to stay
- 8:16Speaker 5: ahead of the pack. We're way ahead right now. We'll
- 8:18Speaker 5: keep it that way. The second order I'm signing directs
- 8:21Speaker 5: federal agency to transition to what is called quantum cryptography.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Do anybody know what that is? Very soon?
- 8:35Speaker 4: Quantum cryptography? What is that? What exactly is that? You
- 8:39Speaker 4: don't know? You're going to find that real anyway. The
- 8:40Speaker 4: President goes on, I find those things funny. I'm sure
- 8:43Speaker 4: if it was Joe Biden saying that, I Oh, here
- 8:45Speaker 4: he goes again, being Joe el Babosa Biden. But the
- 8:49Speaker 4: reality is Trump gets it right so much more often
- 8:54Speaker 4: than Biden ever did. And that is just the reality
- 8:57Speaker 4: that I think we all have to deal with. So
- 8:59Speaker 4: kudos to the President and his big quantum executive Order today.
- 9:02Speaker 4: I think that's a good thing. And it doesn't stop there,
- 9:05Speaker 4: and Trompito gets a lot of things right. One of
- 9:07Speaker 4: the other things that he got right was a prediction
- 9:11Speaker 4: that he made right. He made a prediction on Sunday night,
- 9:14Speaker 4: just last night, saying that Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister
- 9:20Speaker 4: of England, would resign. Well listen to the report on this.
- 9:25Speaker 4: This one is from the DDI News Hour out of India.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Check this out.
- 9:30Speaker 9: US President Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that British Prime
- 9:33Speaker 9: Minister Kiers Starmer will resign as the Prime Minister. In
- 9:36Speaker 9: a post honest social media platform truth Social Crump said
- 9:40Speaker 9: that Kiirs Starmer would resign as the UKs Prime minister.
- 9:43Speaker 9: Trump argued that Starma had failed on two key issues,
- 9:46Speaker 9: that is immigration and energy policying policy during his time
- 9:50Speaker 9: in office. This comes after reports that Starmer was considering
- 9:54Speaker 9: his political future. On Sunday, after a political foe, Annie
- 9:57Speaker 9: Burnham won an election to the British Polymer, which prompted
- 10:00Speaker 9: more ministers in the governing Labor Party to call for
- 10:03Speaker 9: Starmer's exit. However, the government. A government source dismissed the speculation.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Well, a government source dismissed the speculation. Well, I'll tell
- 10:13Speaker 4: you who did not dismiss the speculation. Prime Minister Starmer himself. Listens.
- 10:19Speaker 4: It is.
- 10:22Speaker 10: The question my party is asking now is whether I
- 10:26Speaker 10: am best placed to lead us into the next general election.
- 10:33Speaker 10: I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to
- 10:37Speaker 10: that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.
- 10:44Speaker 10: Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country
- 10:48Speaker 10: I love first. That is why I will resign as
- 10:53Speaker 10: leader of the Labor Party. I have spoken to His
- 10:57Speaker 10: Majesty the King this morning to inform.
- 10:59Speaker 4: Him of my decision. So there you go. Now what
- 11:03Speaker 4: happened with President Trump was he called it out and
- 11:06Speaker 4: he said that these guys messed up on immigration and
- 11:09Speaker 4: on energy, posting, on truth social that Keir Starmer will resign,
- 11:17Speaker 4: putting his infamous prediction out there, and guess what, he
- 11:21Speaker 4: got it right again. This is why if Trump doesn't
- 11:25Speaker 4: know what quantum cryptography is, I also don't know what
- 11:28Speaker 4: quantum cryptography is, but I'll look it up, right, I'll
- 11:33Speaker 4: find it out here. Starmer won't be doing that because
- 11:36Speaker 4: he's not going to be in Downing Street anymore. And
- 11:39Speaker 4: I think people tend to downplay a lot of the
- 11:42Speaker 4: progress that's made by this administration. Now, some of your say,
- 11:45Speaker 4: hold on, Rich, stop stop singing the President's praises. This
- 11:49Speaker 4: guy quitting is no advancement for the United States. I'm
- 11:56Speaker 4: not saying that it is. I'm just saying that Trump
- 11:59Speaker 4: gets these things right. He sees where people fail, He
- 12:02Speaker 4: calls it out. Their government says no, it's not true,
- 12:05Speaker 4: and then it becomes true. Right. So people like to
- 12:08Speaker 4: say Trump baselessly said unfounded accusations well, guess what, he
- 12:14Speaker 4: got it right again. So again, this is just one
- 12:17Speaker 4: of those examples of ed Trumpido getting it right. Now,
- 12:21Speaker 4: let me see where else do I want to go
- 12:23Speaker 4: with this? We got that, We've got that. Oh, we
- 12:26Speaker 4: got primaries heating up right here in New York City tomorrow.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Drialisa Avila Chevalier, I think that's her name. She is
- 12:36Speaker 4: the Democrat Socialist of America candidate for the thirteenth Congressional
- 12:41Speaker 4: District in New York City, which I think that's parts
- 12:43Speaker 4: of Inwood, parts of Washington Heights currently occupied by Adriano Espayat,
- 12:49Speaker 4: another Democrat that I am not a fan of. All
- 12:52Speaker 4: of a sudden, now they're selling us Adriano as the
- 12:54Speaker 4: best choice for Democrats. There is something seriously wrong with
- 12:59Speaker 4: New Yorkers in their political calculations. I'm going to say, right,
- 13:05Speaker 4: this is the same cheap, fake, phony and fraud rhetoric
- 13:09Speaker 4: that we heard from the team Cuomo. Right. You know,
- 13:16Speaker 4: if I could do it in my Cuomo accent, right.
- 13:19Speaker 11: Elect me and the Cuomo elected me, and I will
- 13:25Speaker 11: tell you I will be better than this guy who's
- 13:27Speaker 11: a couple of terms assemblymen from Queens. I've got forty years,
- 13:33Speaker 11: forty years of experience, forty years of experience robbing you people,
- 13:40Speaker 11: killing old people. I got a trail of bodies behind
- 13:44Speaker 11: me that includes your abuela. So you want to take
- 13:47Speaker 11: a gamble on Zora Mamdani because you don't like his
- 13:52Speaker 11: h his heritage, you don't like his and they use
- 13:56Speaker 11: all this right, this fear tact. And this is not
- 13:59Speaker 11: me advocaating for Zara Mumdani. This is me saying, stop
- 14:03Speaker 11: with this lesser of two evils, nonsense, let this thing
- 14:07Speaker 11: play out.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Trust me. We lived through de Blasio, we live through
- 14:13Speaker 4: Eric Adams, and we're gonna live through Mamdani. Now I'm
- 14:18Speaker 4: not saying I want Mumdani, but I'm saying I believe
- 14:21Speaker 4: in the system. You can't sit there and be Adano
- 14:24Speaker 4: as Bayat who Some people are saying, Who's one of
- 14:27Speaker 4: the bigger recipients of USAID funds going into New York
- 14:31Speaker 4: and never staying in New York, in fact, making their
- 14:33Speaker 4: way to other places all over the world. I don't
- 14:36Speaker 4: know if that's true or not. I'm just telling you
- 14:37Speaker 4: what I've heard other people say, speculation, hearsay, But that's
- 14:43Speaker 4: enough for me to sit here and question a girl
- 14:46Speaker 4: who's got no experience. Let her run. That's what we
- 14:50Speaker 4: do here, right, we run. We have the conversations. Now,
- 14:54Speaker 4: is she willing to have the conversations? Not so much.
- 14:57Speaker 4: She made an appearance on La Mega, the Spanish radio
- 15:01Speaker 4: station in New York City, a huge platform for Hispanics
- 15:03Speaker 4: in New York and for many years their morning show
- 15:07Speaker 4: rivaled Howard Stern when he was on the air, beating
- 15:09Speaker 4: them sometimes in the ratings. And I'll tell you this.
- 15:13Speaker 4: She was there. She answered a question. They weren't satisfied
- 15:16Speaker 4: with the question. They asked a follow up to that question,
- 15:21Speaker 4: and she basically said, look, I'm not going to sit
- 15:23Speaker 4: here and get yelled at. I'm not going to be scolded.
- 15:24Speaker 4: I'm out, And she got up and walked away. Now
- 15:28Speaker 4: there's times, I guess where that's warranted. There's times where
- 15:31Speaker 4: it's not. I'm going to say this. Leftists are like that.
- 15:35Speaker 4: They never want to have the conversation, right, she said, No,
- 15:38Speaker 4: what this man says about me, saying I wipe myself
- 15:41Speaker 4: with the flag is a falsehood. It's being widely reported
- 15:46Speaker 4: in the news media now, whether it's being taken out
- 15:49Speaker 4: of context. I think she had an opportunity to speak
- 15:51Speaker 4: directly to that constituency there largely filled with Americans of
- 15:58Speaker 4: Dominican republic disc and she missed that opportunity. So they're
- 16:04Speaker 4: going to vote tomorrow, and the best thing they could
- 16:06Speaker 4: do get rid of him, get rid of her, and
- 16:10Speaker 4: vote for a Republican, any Republican. Now, I saw that
- 16:15Speaker 4: some podcasters out there are saying that Raoul la Costa
- 16:20Speaker 4: my business partner in this digital streaming endeavor that I'm
- 16:24Speaker 4: involved in. Some people are saying that he should run
- 16:29Speaker 4: because he maintains a residence even though he's on tour
- 16:31Speaker 4: as a musician, he maintains a residence in New York,
- 16:35Speaker 4: in that district in Washington Heights. To that, I say,
- 16:39Speaker 4: I think Raoul would make a fantastic congress person. However,
- 16:43Speaker 4: he's running for president in the Dominican Republican twenty twenty eight.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Now one would not preclude him from the other. But
- 16:51Speaker 4: it just seems like a lot to take on, especially
- 16:53Speaker 4: when you're doing one hundred tour days a year. But
- 16:54Speaker 4: that's not my decision, it's his, and honestly it's up
- 16:57Speaker 4: to the people. But it's fascinating to me how they
- 17:01Speaker 4: will try and turn the most left leaning Democrat into
- 17:05Speaker 4: some sort of maga alternative. The minute we see the
- 17:10Speaker 4: likes of AOC, the minute we see the likes of
- 17:12Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders, the minute we see the likes of this woman,
- 17:15Speaker 4: Dad Dalisan a Vila Chevalier. Come on, we've got to
- 17:20Speaker 4: do better. We can't sit here and let the building
- 17:23Speaker 4: slow burn with a smolder knowing it's burning, never saying
- 17:27Speaker 4: anything until like, yah, man, the flames they're so big,
- 17:31Speaker 4: they're so big that now we're saying, oh my gosh, no, no, no,
- 17:34Speaker 4: there's no way, Imo, we're gonna go with the you know,
- 17:37Speaker 4: the lesser of two evils. No, stop, stop, right, do
- 17:42Speaker 4: whatever you got to do in that election. I'll tell
- 17:44Speaker 4: you this. You know who's easier to beat in that election.
- 17:47Speaker 4: It's not mister Spay. Yet, it's not. Now people are
- 17:52Speaker 4: gonna say, oh, yeah, that's what they said about AOC
- 17:54Speaker 4: and she's immovable. Yes, that is what they said about AOC, right,
- 17:57Speaker 4: but they didn't right. What they said about AOC is
- 17:59Speaker 4: that she would never beat crowdy That's what they said,
- 18:03Speaker 4: and then when she beat them, she gained massive momentum.
- 18:07Speaker 4: So I say, whoever, the candidate is. You need to
- 18:11Speaker 4: start from right now. If you haven't been at it
- 18:13Speaker 4: already in that district, get involved, start banging on those doors,
- 18:19Speaker 4: and stop this abuse right this abuse of our constitution,
- 18:23Speaker 4: abuse of the people, abuse of the facts. I mean,
- 18:26Speaker 4: it's just crazy, this stuff that comes out of some
- 18:28Speaker 4: of these people. Anyway, that's some of what we're going
- 18:31Speaker 4: to get into tonight. Plus there's a lot more to come.
- 18:33Speaker 4: I teased on a previous episode that we're going to
- 18:35Speaker 4: talk about how what you eat affects your mental status.
- 18:40Speaker 4: In particular, there's links to dementia. I mentioned it, but
- 18:43Speaker 4: I didn't get into it. We're going to talk about that.
- 18:45Speaker 4: We're also going to get into a couple other things
- 18:47Speaker 4: on the foreign policy front. What's going on with Iron,
- 18:50Speaker 4: how's this thing unfolding. I'll talk a little bit more
- 18:53Speaker 4: about this election tomorrow because that primary is tomorrow Tuesday night,
- 18:59Speaker 4: so we'll be getting the results to that while we're
- 19:02Speaker 4: doing the show, So we'll discuss more on that tomorrow.
- 19:06Speaker 4: But straight ahead, Colombia, the country of Colombia that is
- 19:09Speaker 4: in South America, has a brand new president and guess
- 19:13Speaker 4: who gave him their endorsement. That's right, El Trumpito. The
- 19:17Speaker 4: winning continues now all the way to South America. I
- 19:20Speaker 4: think Trump's got four or five presidents elected in South America,
- 19:25Speaker 4: continuing to strengthen the Americas. The western hemisphere talk about
- 19:30Speaker 4: he doesn't do anything, he's a bad guy. He's spending
- 19:33Speaker 4: too much time on the reflecting pool. I think not
- 19:35Speaker 4: keep blocked right here on egos. I'm Rich Valdez coming
- 19:37Speaker 4: right back.
- 19:38Speaker 12: This is America, This is America primals, but a rich
- 20:02Speaker 12: belt is s s America. Awora the president of Columbia.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Then, yeah, yeah, we know that.
- 20:14Speaker 13: You have endorse them. He was in tenth place. I
- 20:17Speaker 13: endorse somebody won the election. Yeah, and we know you
- 20:20Speaker 13: have no difference in this country. You have a con
- 20:23Speaker 13: conversation with last hours.
- 20:25Speaker 5: What can you tell us about that phone conversation and
- 20:27Speaker 5: what do you see what you anticipate your from Columbia. Yes,
- 20:32Speaker 5: he called me last night and he thanked me for
- 20:34Speaker 5: the endorsement.
- 20:35Speaker 12: He won.
- 20:35Speaker 4: He won the election.
- 20:36Speaker 5: It wasn't he wasn't anticipated to win, but he won,
- 20:40Speaker 5: and he won handily. It's just an honor. He was
- 20:43Speaker 5: just a good man. I'd watch him a little bit
- 20:47Speaker 5: speak and he always think you know when people like me,
- 20:50Speaker 5: I like them. It's very simple. It's a very simple formula.
- 20:53Speaker 6: And I like that.
- 20:54Speaker 5: He said really nice things about me and the job
- 20:57Speaker 5: we've done in the United States, and uh, very very powerful.
- 21:02Speaker 5: And he won an election in Colombia that I don't know.
- 21:06Speaker 5: Some people were surprised because he was a little bit
- 21:09Speaker 5: further down the pack, but he won easily. Last night
- 21:12Speaker 5: he one by call me at eight thirty in the
- 21:14Speaker 5: evening just to thank me very much. And I said,
- 21:18Speaker 5: you read a great campaign, you said, Lt. Gray, And what.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Do you anticipate for the relation with Columbia.
- 21:24Speaker 5: Columbis starching much better.
- 21:25Speaker 6: It will be better.
- 21:26Speaker 5: He's going to be a great president.
- 21:30Speaker 4: That is El Trumpito inside the Oval office with a
- 21:34Speaker 4: press gaggle, confirming that he received a phone call from
- 21:38Speaker 4: the winner of the Colombian presidency. That election was last night,
- 21:44Speaker 4: Sunday night. And fascinating stuff that's going on right, very dramatic.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Right word shift continues in South America, Belardo bel Espriella.
- 21:58Speaker 4: They call him a degree the tiger again, winning by it,
- 22:05Speaker 4: you know, not a decisive margin, but a margin. Nonetheless,
- 22:10Speaker 4: he was in a runoff with Senator Evan Seppela a
- 22:14Speaker 4: close ally of the outgoing President Gustavo Petro. Right now,
- 22:18Speaker 4: you remember Gustavo Petro a few months ago. This guy
- 22:21Speaker 4: is a pretty avowed socialist who was saying things like
- 22:24Speaker 4: tell Trump to come and get me right, same thing
- 22:26Speaker 4: that Niko O las Maduro was saying. And then he
- 22:28Speaker 4: switched it up to say, hey, guess what you know
- 22:31Speaker 4: who wants to see me the President of the United States,
- 22:36Speaker 4: And President Trump invited him to the White House, and
- 22:41Speaker 4: that happened a couple of months ago, and it was
- 22:43Speaker 4: very interesting to see that exchange. Anyway, the preliminary counts
- 22:51Speaker 4: showed that President elect de la Espriella secured about forty
- 22:57Speaker 4: nine point sixty six percent of the votes, roughly twelve
- 23:02Speaker 4: point ninety six million votes to Cepela's forty eight point
- 23:06Speaker 4: seventy which was about twelve point seventy one about one percent.
- 23:14Speaker 4: And this was again record turnout. They had sixty three
- 23:16Speaker 4: point six percent turnout. Now, President elect de la Espriella
- 23:22Speaker 4: is a lawyer, a businessman. He's got interest in clothing, wine,
- 23:26Speaker 4: rum and restaurants, and he's a political newcomer with no
- 23:30Speaker 4: prior elected office. He ran under the Defenders of the
- 23:34Speaker 4: Motherland movement, the Fensoda Rapatrium, and his campaign emphasized tough
- 23:42Speaker 4: on crime policies, military led security, cracking down on armed
- 23:47Speaker 4: groups and organized crime, and stronger ties with the United States.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Now there's a few ways that this is very different
- 24:00Speaker 4: from the Petro era. Obviously, Gustavo Petro, he's their first
- 24:09Speaker 4: leftist president. He served for four years from twenty twenty
- 24:12Speaker 4: two to twenty twenty six, and a lot of people
- 24:16Speaker 4: criticized him for having negotiations with armed groups, a the
- 24:21Speaker 4: emphasis on cocaine eradication, and you know, other policies that
- 24:27Speaker 4: coincided with record cocaine production and resurgent violence. Dela Espriella
- 24:34Speaker 4: positioned himself as the antetote to that more aggressive action
- 24:37Speaker 4: against crime and against drunks. So the first round on
- 24:42Speaker 4: May thirty first showed a little bit of a polarization,
- 24:47Speaker 4: with dela Espriella leading and forcing a runoff. International observers
- 24:53Speaker 4: praised the process as orderly and transparent, despite some pre
- 24:57Speaker 4: election tensions. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. That's
- 24:59Speaker 4: a noted on Congress dot gov. Anyway, President Trump's endorsement
- 25:06Speaker 4: definitely helped him out, and it painted out Sepela as
- 25:10Speaker 4: a radical left wing Marxist. And this is a good thing,
- 25:15Speaker 4: I think now. I was in an uber recently. The
- 25:18Speaker 4: driver was from Ecuador. It was the night that Columbia
- 25:22Speaker 4: was playing recently, and he mentioned to me that he
- 25:31Speaker 4: did not like Gustavo Petro and he was just weighing
- 25:35Speaker 4: into somebody who lived near Columbia in Ecuador and was
- 25:39Speaker 4: now in the United States. But said that this candidate age,
- 25:45Speaker 4: it was even worse than Petro. And I said, oh why,
- 25:51Speaker 4: and he said, well, because both of them are extremes,
- 25:53Speaker 4: and better to have somebody on the extreme of the
- 25:56Speaker 4: left than have somebody on the extreme of the right.
- 25:59Speaker 4: And well, I wonder why. I mean, at least the
- 26:01Speaker 4: United States. If you get somebody here that is, you know,
- 26:05Speaker 4: I don't know, like me, you might see all the
- 26:08Speaker 4: Doge Committee recommendations be done. You might see me pull
- 26:11Speaker 4: the plug on the United Nations and all sorts of
- 26:19Speaker 4: other foreign aid because I just don't believe in that
- 26:22Speaker 4: stuff anyway. So what can we expect. Well, he officially
- 26:27Speaker 4: takes office on August seventh. I expected to have a
- 26:32Speaker 4: little bit harsher security stance of renewed focus on being
- 26:36Speaker 4: a counterbalance to the narcotics trade, closer alignment with the
- 26:40Speaker 4: United States priorities. I'm sure he doesn't want to get
- 26:42Speaker 4: blown up, his boat's blown up, et cetera. And some
- 26:47Speaker 4: potential policy shifts when it comes to taxes, the economy,
- 26:51Speaker 4: and various negotiations for peace. So that's the big picture here.
- 26:57Speaker 4: I think this is a big win for the liberty
- 27:01Speaker 4: loving Latino amigos in Colombia, where we recently charted with
- 27:04Speaker 4: this show recently, and everyone else in Central and South
- 27:08Speaker 4: America that you know has trade with Colombia, and for
- 27:12Speaker 4: the Colombians themselves, So kudos to you. Job well done.
- 27:17Speaker 4: And here's how it went down in Colombia just last night.
- 27:22Speaker 4: Listened to this as he went into a glass booth.
- 27:25Speaker 4: I'm guessing it was bulletproof to make his announcement on
- 27:29Speaker 4: these huge jumbo tron led screens and a live band there, fireworks.
- 27:36Speaker 4: Everybody was there for a espriella also known as a
- 27:42Speaker 4: d l e Adlai. Listen to this. This is pretty
- 27:46Speaker 4: pretty cool stuff. Aki Colombia, Akida, who pless it.
- 28:11Speaker 14: All?
- 28:11Speaker 4: Right? Then they play a little bumper there, but really
- 28:14Speaker 4: quite impressive to watch. If you've seen it, I'll retweet
- 28:17Speaker 4: this so you could see it on Twitter. And what's
- 28:21Speaker 4: interesting is the the amount of support seemed like like
- 28:28Speaker 4: like everybody was in, you know, despite the thin margin.
- 28:33Speaker 4: Shows you how divided the electorate is. And I guess
- 28:35Speaker 4: that's becoming increasingly popular because simple things aren't simple anymore, right,
- 28:41Speaker 4: Things that were once a given, things that were once
- 28:44Speaker 4: understood or expected are now kind of outside of the norm.
- 28:48Speaker 4: What I mean by that, well, I mean like he's
- 28:51Speaker 4: here talking about running on this platform defenders of the homeland,
- 28:57Speaker 4: Nepens del Patria. Why on earth would we need a
- 29:01Speaker 4: defender of the homeland? Quite simply when you feel like
- 29:07Speaker 4: it's under attack. We felt like that many times in
- 29:09Speaker 4: the United States. Others on the other side, people that
- 29:12Speaker 4: disagree with me, they feel like that. They wake up
- 29:15Speaker 4: feeling like that. They feel like the United States is
- 29:18Speaker 4: the worst thing ever, and they're actively trying every day
- 29:22Speaker 4: to change all these societal ills that they see in America.
- 29:27Speaker 4: White supremacy, white this, white that right, all sorts of
- 29:30Speaker 4: crazy stuff, got it. These are fundamental differences in opinion,
- 29:35Speaker 4: But they stem to me from one place, right when
- 29:39Speaker 4: I Digga is talking about here is your tiger. I
- 29:42Speaker 4: get that he's talking about being a leader for his people,
- 29:48Speaker 4: and no problem, got it. I'm sure the other guy
- 29:51Speaker 4: thought he was a leader for his people too, although
- 29:53Speaker 4: he was a leftist leader right, more like AOC A
- 29:56Speaker 4: lot crazy workers of the world unite right Evita Parnes style.
- 30:02Speaker 4: The fundamental disconnect here for me is God there are
- 30:09Speaker 4: you know, forever, I've called them godless leftists, and I
- 30:12Speaker 4: think I've gone away from that lately to call them
- 30:15Speaker 4: the all out crazy democrats. But the reality is they
- 30:21Speaker 4: are godless leftists. And ultimately that's what this boils down to.
- 30:25Speaker 4: Are you in line with looking at life through the
- 30:30Speaker 4: prism the lens of a worldview that you would say
- 30:35Speaker 4: is based on the Bible, based on your Christianity or not?
- 30:41Speaker 4: And when you look at all the issues, whether it's abortion,
- 30:45Speaker 4: whether it's private property rights, you know, things that you
- 30:47Speaker 4: work hard for you should you take things that aren't yours?
- 30:50Speaker 4: Should this city be you know, claiming property that isn't theirs? Whatever?
- 30:57Speaker 4: And what have you? All of it to me boils
- 31:01Speaker 4: down to is your view of this world based on God?
- 31:07Speaker 4: Or is it not? The people that are not that
- 31:10Speaker 4: base it on gram Sheet, that base it on on
- 31:14Speaker 4: Marx or Hegel or Angles or any of them, these
- 31:22Speaker 4: left leaning philosophers. That's where they end up, godless leftists. Anyway,
- 31:29Speaker 4: those are some of my thoughts speaking of godless leftists.
- 31:32Speaker 4: Mom Donnie is in a little bit of a heat
- 31:34Speaker 4: of the mayor of New York City for making a
- 31:37Speaker 4: gram Sheet quote that utilized the word monsters, and somehow
- 31:43Speaker 4: he started talking about the Jews. Keep it locked right
- 31:46Speaker 4: here more to come straight ahead. I'm Rich Valdez.
- 31:49Speaker 1: This is America.
- 31:55Speaker 4: What's up, Familia. It's Rich Valdez. And you know the
- 31:57Speaker 4: corporate media, the legacy media, they don't want informed, They

- 33:41Speaker 5: Oh, very good.
- 33:46Speaker 4: The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
- 33:51Speaker 4: of Sofrito now here's Rich Valdez.
- 33:57Speaker 2: It's America's dessert. And for the countries undred and fiftieth birthday,
- 34:01Speaker 2: McDonald's is bringing back their original fried apple pies. The
- 34:05Speaker 2: fried pastry with piping hot apple filling is returning to
- 34:09Speaker 2: Mickeyd's for the first time in more than three decades.
- 34:11Speaker 2: It was replaced with a big version in nineteen ninety two.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Fried apple Pies will be available at most McDonald's starting
- 34:18Speaker 2: June twenty third for a limited time. Not the healthiest thing,
- 34:22Speaker 2: but it's our two hundred and fiftieth birthday, Judy, It's
- 34:24Speaker 2: back for a limited time, so enjoy.
- 34:26Speaker 4: Careful when you bite it. Be careful when you bite it. Anyway.
- 34:31Speaker 4: That is the report there on McDonald's apple pies coming
- 34:35Speaker 4: back for America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Happy Birthday, America.
- 34:40Speaker 4: But I want to talk about this, not specifically the
- 34:43Speaker 4: fried apple pie, which sounds delicious, by the way, but
- 34:46Speaker 4: more so I want to talk about the importance of food.
- 34:49Speaker 4: We talk about that every now and again here Secretary Kennedy.
- 34:52Speaker 4: We play some of his quotes and stuff like that.
- 34:55Speaker 4: But one of the main things I want to talk
- 34:56Speaker 4: about here is food, and the reason being that we've
- 35:00Speaker 4: got a very unique, very interesting situation with recent reports
- 35:05Speaker 4: indicating that certain foods might be causing Alzheimer's, right, and
- 35:09Speaker 4: we spoke about that a week ago or so. I
- 35:11Speaker 4: wanted to double down on this a little bit because
- 35:14Speaker 4: over the years, it's been said that if you ate
- 35:16Speaker 4: out of this type of pan, or out of this
- 35:18Speaker 4: type of container, or you were cooking with these types
- 35:21Speaker 4: of pods and pans, that you'd be causing yourself to
- 35:23Speaker 4: have exposure because of aluminum. And that was what was
- 35:27Speaker 4: originally believed to open the door to first senility and
- 35:33Speaker 4: then Alzheimer's dementia. But now there's new information. For example,
- 35:41Speaker 4: doctor Bosworth, she says that certain foods can actually reverse Alzheimer's,
- 35:49Speaker 4: which I think is pretty interesting, or begin to slow
- 35:51Speaker 4: it down. And then of course there's information to the
- 35:55Speaker 4: contrary of that as well, that certain foods are causing Alzheimer's.
- 36:00Speaker 4: I want to start with the audio from the Good
- 36:02Speaker 4: Doctor because I think it's definitely worth listening to check
- 36:06Speaker 4: this out.
- 36:08Speaker 6: Well, we have twelve kinds of sardines here, and I
- 36:12Speaker 6: wondered why you brought sardines.
- 36:15Speaker 15: Well, yes, that's a hell of a tool. Why so
- 36:21Speaker 15: when you're trying to help patients change behavior.
- 36:27Speaker 6: Sorry, the sardine juice is gone on MyPad.
- 36:30Speaker 15: Oh good luck getting that off. Yeah, sardine's rank for
- 36:34Speaker 15: the worst smelling, but they're not the worst tasting. And
- 36:38Speaker 15: it comes to bitter in fish, they don't have the
- 36:40Speaker 15: bitterness that tuna does.
- 36:41Speaker 6: So tell me about sardines. Why should I be eating
- 36:44Speaker 6: sadines When.
- 36:45Speaker 15: You're trying to teach patients those stats that you read
- 36:47Speaker 15: off a minute ago, they don't care. They need a
- 36:49Speaker 15: very clear step on how do I begin. And when
- 36:53Speaker 15: you're working with somebody who cannot seem to get their
- 36:55Speaker 15: key tones to rise, and I give them a whole
- 36:57Speaker 15: list of menus, that's too noisy. Let's take it down
- 37:00Speaker 15: to one food that is high in fat, high in
- 37:03Speaker 15: some of the best fats, high in protein. It's whole foods,
- 37:07Speaker 15: and it's affordable for everybody under the sun.
- 37:10Speaker 6: Okay, so you do you do you like a sardine faust?
- 37:13Speaker 15: Yeah? So in fact, that that twenty one day twenty
- 37:17Speaker 15: one day is that three week course where I say
- 37:18Speaker 15: I will teach you how to do an advance key
- 37:20Speaker 15: to Jenny diet where everybody will be peeing or making
- 37:23Speaker 15: abundant keytones. On day six, I say, all right, the
- 37:27Speaker 15: only thing on the menu for the next three days
- 37:30Speaker 15: is sardines.
- 37:32Speaker 4: So the only thing on the menu is sardines. Now,
- 37:36Speaker 4: I thought this was pretty interesting because again that is
- 37:42Speaker 4: doctor Annette Bosworth known as doctor Boz and she's on
- 37:47Speaker 4: the Diary of a CEO podcast hosted by Steven Bartlett
- 37:52Speaker 4: from the UK. Very interesting conversation they were having, and
- 37:57Speaker 4: I wanted to talk about the importance of food because
- 38:02Speaker 4: the same way she's saying that you produce these keytones
- 38:04Speaker 4: which will help with Alzheimer's. There's a new study out
- 38:10Speaker 4: saying the exact opposite, that certain ultra processed food are
- 38:16Speaker 4: now showing an increased link to dementia. This is by
- 38:20Speaker 4: Amy Rhader. Came out a couple of weeks ago from
- 38:24Speaker 4: Harvard School of Public Health and eating a diet that's
- 38:28Speaker 4: high in ultra processed food, which, if I haven't told
- 38:31Speaker 4: you already, ultra processed food is code word for fake food,
- 38:39Speaker 4: not real food. Right, So if it's an ultra processed
- 38:42Speaker 4: potato chip, rest assured it's not a slice of a
- 38:47Speaker 4: potato that's been deep fried. Nope, that's not what it is.
- 38:52Speaker 4: It's different parts of potato. Maybe that stuff like instant
- 38:57Speaker 4: mashed potatoes, freeze dried potato patoes mashed together, made into
- 39:02Speaker 4: a paste, and then that paste is sliced into thin layers.
- 39:08Speaker 4: And that is how they attempt to make their potato
- 39:15Speaker 4: chips when they're ultra processed, very different than regular processed food.
- 39:23Speaker 4: Ultra process means fake food. That's the definition here on
- 39:27Speaker 4: this program. So anyway, eating a diet that's high in
- 39:32Speaker 4: these ultra processed foods like hot dogs, packaged snacks, all
- 39:37Speaker 4: of these things can increase the risk of dementia. And
- 39:40Speaker 4: that's according to this new study led by researchers from
- 39:42Speaker 4: Harvard University from the th Chan School of Public Health.
- 39:46Speaker 4: They found that those who ate at the highest or
- 39:51Speaker 4: i should say the highest level of ultra processed food
- 39:55Speaker 4: every day had a fifty eight percent increased risk of
- 40:00Speaker 4: developing dementia and a forty six percent increased risk for
- 40:04Speaker 4: cognitive impairment compared to people who ate the lowest amount
- 40:08Speaker 4: of daily ultra processed food. And this is from the study.
- 40:13Speaker 4: This is a quote. Conversely, we found lower risks of
- 40:17Speaker 4: cognitive impairment and dementia for high versus low consumers of
- 40:22Speaker 4: minimally processed foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- 40:27Speaker 4: That's Cindy Lung. She is the Associate Professor of Health Nutrition.
- 40:33Speaker 4: As part of the team here fascinating right, researchers analyze
- 40:41Speaker 4: the diet and health data for more than five three
- 40:44Speaker 4: hundred adults over fifty who participated in the University of
- 40:49Speaker 4: Michigan's Health and Retirement Study for an average of nine years.
- 40:54Speaker 4: The study accounted for other factors besides diet that affect health,
- 40:58Speaker 4: including education, income, smoking, physical activity, and alcohol use. Yeah,
- 41:03Speaker 4: those will definitely do it as well. Now. The researchers
- 41:06Speaker 4: analyzed the diet and miss Lung noted in the Wall
- 41:12Speaker 4: Street Journal at the beginning of the month that even
- 41:15Speaker 4: moderate consumption of ultraprocessed foods fake food could potentially carry
- 41:23Speaker 4: a risk for your cognitive health. Look at that. That's
- 41:31Speaker 4: even worse. So even if you have it, sometimes it
- 41:34Speaker 4: poses a threat to your mind. That's horrible. Not that
- 41:40Speaker 4: everybody wants to do, but I think many of us
- 41:42Speaker 4: don't know. Ultra process foods have been linked to a
- 41:46Speaker 4: bunch of different things. Like increased risk of chronic conditions
- 41:49Speaker 4: like obesity, cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes, all of which
- 41:53Speaker 4: you're associated with increased dementia risk. This association may explain
- 41:58Speaker 4: the link between ultra process food foods and increased cognitive
- 42:02Speaker 4: health risk. In addition, certain additives and ultra processed foods
- 42:06Speaker 4: are associated with gut microbiome changes that may cause inflammation,
- 42:12Speaker 4: ultimately leading to dementia. How about that, How about you
- 42:16Speaker 4: didn't know that one. I barely knew that one. That's
- 42:21Speaker 4: a very interesting thing because this gut microbiome stuff is
- 42:28Speaker 4: a game changer, quite frankly, and there's something interesting on
- 42:33Speaker 4: that that I wanted to get into as well. Now,
- 42:35Speaker 4: this one's interesting because gut microbiome this is stuff that
- 42:39Speaker 4: I learned about some years ago when my skin was
- 42:43Speaker 4: getting itchy and I thought I had eggzema. It turned
- 42:46Speaker 4: out if I took some probiotics and a little bit
- 42:49Speaker 4: of apple cider or vinegar voila, it all went away.
- 42:54Speaker 4: But all of that said, this doctor on the same
- 43:00Speaker 4: interview series discusses how sweeteners, artificial sweeteners and stevia and
- 43:06Speaker 4: the like can also lead to dementia. This is pretty wild.
- 43:14Speaker 3: A paper just came out like three days ago in
- 43:17Speaker 3: Annals of Neurology, basically showing that non nutritive sweetener consumption,
- 43:26Speaker 3: so diet sweetener consumption correlates with dementia.
- 43:32Speaker 6: And we think we know why why.
- 43:35Speaker 3: Reactive oxygen species so oxygen radicals little chemicals that are
- 43:40Speaker 3: given off from various substances that cause changes in energy
- 43:46Speaker 3: metabolism and cells and also cause damage in cells. RS's
- 43:51Speaker 3: reactive oxygen species. The famous ones are spartanen sukulose. Now
- 43:58Speaker 3: do munk fruit extract do stevia? Does alulose also cause
- 44:03Speaker 3: reactive oxygen species? I very specifically looked for data on those,
- 44:08Speaker 3: could not find it.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Okay, so splendor and equal or the sweet and low brand, right,
- 44:22Speaker 4: the pink one, the blue one. These are the two
- 44:26Speaker 4: main culprits. But there's doctors out there. I've seen a
- 44:30Speaker 4: cardiologists out there saying that stevia same thing, right, So
- 44:35Speaker 4: I understand. I've had other doctors tell me that this
- 44:37Speaker 4: stuff all becomes I don't know what that stuff is called,
- 44:41Speaker 4: starts with a Z or sounds like a Z. Anyway,
- 44:44Speaker 4: it all transforms into this Z sounding stuff which can
- 44:48Speaker 4: deteriorate your cardiovascular system, pausing all sorts of other issues.
- 44:53Speaker 4: So point is, it's our addiction to sweets, right, the
- 44:56Speaker 4: sweet taste of sweet flavor. Diabetes is obviously the number
- 45:00Speaker 4: one killer, but these other ones are right behind you.
- 45:02Speaker 4: And look, I drink diet soda every now and again.
- 45:05Speaker 4: I use the yellow stuff, the sweetener, right, I really do, sucralose.
- 45:10Speaker 4: It works. It's the best one of the non sugar ones.
- 45:14Speaker 4: And I know people say, oh, I just go with
- 45:16Speaker 4: the sugar, but that sugar has an effect on me
- 45:18Speaker 4: that I really don't like. So anyway, I brought all
- 45:22Speaker 4: of that up to say food is definitely one of
- 45:28Speaker 4: those things that we're going to continue to keep an
- 45:30Speaker 4: eye on because as these new reports come out, as
- 45:32Speaker 4: this new information becomes made available, it's important, very important,
- 45:37Speaker 4: I think that we have these discussions. It's also important
- 45:40Speaker 4: that we have discussions with you, we the people right
- 45:43Speaker 4: our late night familia. So I want you to give
- 45:46Speaker 4: me a call if you want to join on any
- 45:48Speaker 4: of these topics or any of the topics from the
- 45:50Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. We've got plenty to discuss, right
- 45:53Speaker 4: from the New York Nicks winning the World Championship to
- 45:57Speaker 4: the Puerto Rican Parade all the drama associated with that.
- 46:01Speaker 4: Matter of fact, no school buses were burned to the
- 46:04Speaker 4: ground in the Puerto Rican Parade, despite and that happening
- 46:08Speaker 4: with the Knicks, and had a couple of interesting, very rude,
- 46:13Speaker 4: very rude and very freco commenters on social media telling
- 46:18Speaker 4: me that Puerto Ricans are animals and they destroy things
- 46:21Speaker 4: and you know, you know, those types of clowns. But
- 46:24Speaker 4: if you've got something of value to say, give me
- 46:27Speaker 4: a call. You know the number, eight seven seven Valdes one,
- 46:30Speaker 4: eight seven seven valdesz one. Keep it locked right here,
- 46:33Speaker 4: we do continue straight ahead.
- 46:35Speaker 1: This is America, This is America.
- 46:54Speaker 3: He's making podcasting great again.
- 46:57Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 47:10Speaker 4: All right, amigos, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez. Valdez with
- 47:13Speaker 4: an ask at Rich Valdez on all of the social media.
- 47:17Speaker 4: This is one of my favorite parts of the program,
- 47:19Speaker 4: where we do open phones across America. Open phone America
- 47:23Speaker 4: is a tradition. It dates back to Larry King when
- 47:27Speaker 4: he was doing the late night radio show and he
- 47:30Speaker 4: would take calls from all over the place. Jim O'Hannon
- 47:33Speaker 4: of course, the legend continued that tradition, as did I
- 47:38Speaker 4: both in national syndication and now directly with you guys
- 47:43Speaker 4: as we stream globally. So very excited to continue our
- 47:48Speaker 4: national discussion, our late night national town hall conversation as
- 47:54Speaker 4: it's known here. And I want to go to the call,
- 47:58Speaker 4: so let me see who we've got who's sounding off.
- 48:02Speaker 4: But first I want to give a shout out to
- 48:05Speaker 4: one of our new community members, somebody who's joined the
- 48:07Speaker 4: Valdazk VIP fam media. Joe Sinnabria. Looks like Joey is
- 48:12Speaker 4: from the Boogie Down Bronx. Joe, welcome to the program.
- 48:16Speaker 4: Big shout out to Joe from the Bronx, and of
- 48:19Speaker 4: course everybody else who's joining up on the Amigo level,
- 48:23Speaker 4: the Famedia level or the valdez VIP level. You want
- 48:26Speaker 4: to learn more about that, go to Richfaldesk dot com.
- 48:29Speaker 4: You can learn how to a either just support the show,
- 48:32Speaker 4: get some advanced information, learn when we're going to have
- 48:37Speaker 4: new merch drops, all that fun stuff. So I appreciate that.
- 48:40Speaker 4: Thank you for that, Joe, And of course I want
- 48:43Speaker 4: to go to the phones. Now let's see what we've
- 48:45Speaker 4: got in their little phone bank over here, because there's
- 48:48Speaker 4: always something going on here. All right, let's see what
- 48:51Speaker 4: we got. I see a call from a six to
- 48:54Speaker 4: one nine number in California, call from a nine to
- 48:56Speaker 4: five to six number in Texas, A call from Canada,
- 49:01Speaker 4: and that's a five to one four number Illinois six
- 49:04Speaker 4: three zero number, Maryland. I like to call it Maryland,
- 49:11Speaker 4: Colorado springs seven to one to nine exchange, New York
- 49:14Speaker 4: five one six. Let's start with local, because there's been
- 49:17Speaker 4: a lot of people in the New York area calling
- 49:21Speaker 4: in with respect to that marijuana stuff I talked about
- 49:25Speaker 4: a couple of weeks back. Let's see what my name is,
- 49:28Speaker 4: d C.
- 49:28Speaker 16: I'm from Long Island, New York. I work in the
- 49:30Speaker 16: cannabis industry, and I just saw something on Instagram in
- 49:33Speaker 16: regards to being tested for cannabis while driving or things
- 49:38Speaker 16: like that. So I'd about to give my input or
- 49:40Speaker 16: at least talk with you guys about it. Thank you.
- 49:43Speaker 4: Yeah, oh well, don't hang up. I wanted you to
- 49:45Speaker 4: go ahead and give us your thoughts. DC. You welcome
- 49:48Speaker 4: to callback anytime from Long Island, New York. Always a
- 49:51Speaker 4: pleasure to hear from our friends out on the Island,
- 49:54Speaker 4: and I want to continue. What else we got line
- 49:57Speaker 4: up the next one.
- 49:58Speaker 14: I'm in New York City and I just I saw
- 50:00Speaker 14: your video about this doing medical procedures on the side
- 50:03Speaker 14: of a road without a medical license. Medicine without a license.
- 50:07Speaker 14: So my question is this, when are these cops talking
- 50:10Speaker 14: about this? When are we going to address this situation?
- 50:13Speaker 14: Let me know, pops cannot practice and taken medical tests?
- 50:18Speaker 14: Is practice in medicine debt, we'd be in jailing the heartbeat,
- 50:21Speaker 14: getting prosecuted.
- 50:23Speaker 4: But yet yeah, I get you, but yet the police
- 50:26Speaker 4: are doing it in Long Island. I guess the big
- 50:29Speaker 4: difference here. And thanks for the cole brother is is
- 50:33Speaker 4: this and always shout out to our peeps in New
- 50:36Speaker 4: York City call and UH to discuss this. This was
- 50:39Speaker 4: such a hot topic. This test known as SOTUXA. It
- 50:45Speaker 4: is a saliva swab that allows law enforcement to see
- 50:49Speaker 4: if you've ever done marijuana apparently right. I don't think
- 50:54Speaker 4: it tells you how soon or how long ago it was,
- 50:59Speaker 4: just that it's in your syne and being that you
- 51:02Speaker 4: can be high for whatever amount of time and a
- 51:06Speaker 4: week later be tested again and still have it in
- 51:08Speaker 4: your system. Doesn't prove any impairment. So that makes this
- 51:12Speaker 4: a voluntary test, which most roadside tests are voluntary until
- 51:17Speaker 4: you're arrested. Once you're compelled to take a test, then
- 51:20Speaker 4: all of a sudden, it's no longer voluntary, and that's
- 51:23Speaker 4: typically after you've been arrested. And again that's not my
- 51:31Speaker 4: legal advice, that's my understanding of the law as somebody
- 51:34Speaker 4: who does not play a lawyer on the radio. But
- 51:38Speaker 4: all that being said, the general legal advice here that
- 51:43Speaker 4: I'm seeing on Instagram and other places, if you want
- 51:47Speaker 4: to consider it reliable, from legitimate attorneys and their Instagram accounts,
- 51:53Speaker 4: is that you are free to refuse any voluntary roadside tests.
- 51:59Speaker 4: What happens is once you refuse to take a test
- 52:01Speaker 4: that's mandated, like post arrest, like hey, you're under rest. Now,
- 52:06Speaker 4: we're going to give you a breathalyzer that you have
- 52:10Speaker 4: to take because that's a condition of your driving privilege
- 52:12Speaker 4: in the state, at least in the state of New York,
- 52:15Speaker 4: and that was the state in question in this particular case.
- 52:19Speaker 4: So that is I think what some people are thinking
- 52:22Speaker 4: now with regards to what you're saying about practicing medicine
- 52:25Speaker 4: on the side of the road with a license. With that,
- 52:28Speaker 4: I guess it's debatable. I agree with you that you
- 52:31Speaker 4: know cops are not trained, at least as far as
- 52:34Speaker 4: I know, in administering saliva tests. I'm guessing that these
- 52:40Speaker 4: cops in Long Island that have this capacity or capability
- 52:45Speaker 4: in their vehicles have been trained by the company that
- 52:49Speaker 4: makes these things. Does that mean that they are professionally
- 52:53Speaker 4: trained in this stuff? Of course not right. Does it
- 52:56Speaker 4: mean that you need to be professionally trained to get
- 53:00Speaker 4: saliva swab? Probably not also right. Ultimately this becomes a
- 53:05Speaker 4: bigger question of are they collecting DNA? Is this within
- 53:09Speaker 4: your Fourth Amendment? The scope of rights? And I, for
- 53:15Speaker 4: the most part, look, I don't want anybody to drive
- 53:17Speaker 4: around high, but I also don't want the police or
- 53:21Speaker 4: any part of the government to be more intrusive than
- 53:26Speaker 4: they need to be. And this brings me to another place.
- 53:29Speaker 4: And I don't mean to switch gears on you, but
- 53:32Speaker 4: there's a new thing called signal tracing, and signal trace
- 53:38Speaker 4: is it's made by a company called Leonardo. If you've
- 53:43Speaker 4: ever seen the police use these license plate readers, they're
- 53:46Speaker 4: able to scan your license plate. Well, now they're updating
- 53:50Speaker 4: these scanners where they will in effect scan everything in
- 53:56Speaker 4: your car that they can scan every Bluetooth device, every
- 54:00Speaker 4: the RFID signal being emitted. If you have a dog
- 54:03Speaker 4: that's been chipped for you know, if you lose your dog,
- 54:06Speaker 4: that will go off. So anytime it just passes, it's
- 54:09Speaker 4: catching a glimpse of your license plate, and then it's
- 54:13Speaker 4: also getting the digital footprint of your cell phone, your Bluetooth,
- 54:17Speaker 4: your car's Bluetooth, every passenger in that car's Bluetooth, et cetera.
- 54:22Speaker 4: And it's definitely a violation of privacy in my mind.
- 54:25Speaker 4: Right legally, they're able to do this because they say
- 54:28Speaker 4: that this is out in the air. Now. I don't
- 54:30Speaker 4: know if this is accurate or not and if this
- 54:32Speaker 4: will withstand legal scrutiny, but I do know that that's
- 54:37Speaker 4: what's going on, and that this is a thing, and
- 54:39Speaker 4: that the only way to protect yourself from this is
- 54:40Speaker 4: to keep your cell phone off and Bluetooth devices disconnected,
- 54:45Speaker 4: or to use something called a Faraday bag, which is
- 54:47Speaker 4: going to prevent the signal from going through. What you're
- 54:50Speaker 4: not allowed to do is to have any type of
- 54:53Speaker 4: signal blocking or anything like that in order to protect
- 54:56Speaker 4: your own privacy, which I think, you know cars should
- 54:59Speaker 4: have that as an option. But I remember back in
- 55:02Speaker 4: the days when people would have those little radar detectors
- 55:06Speaker 4: on their dashboard. That was also illegal in a lot
- 55:11Speaker 4: of places that you weren't allowed to know if there
- 55:13Speaker 4: was a cop shooting radar for a speed trap. And
- 55:17Speaker 4: by and large, that technology I think is kind of
- 55:20Speaker 4: follow by the wayside. But I'm interested in knowing your
- 55:23Speaker 4: thoughts on that as well, and I want to invite
- 55:26Speaker 4: the rest of you to call in eight seven seven
- 55:28Speaker 4: Valdez one, eight seven seven valdess one. I also want
- 55:32Speaker 4: to go to Tony, and I know Tony calls in
- 55:35Speaker 4: often and he's a good friend of the show, but
- 55:38Speaker 4: he had something to say about about the state of
- 55:43Speaker 4: political affairs, and I think it's important that we bring
- 55:48Speaker 4: that into the discussion.
- 55:49Speaker 17: Go right ahead, Rich, this is Tony in Montreal. Politics
- 55:55Speaker 17: right now are upside down in America. Transgender is DEI.
- 56:01Speaker 17: Left wing people like HACKEM Jeffries AOC all out crazy
- 56:11Speaker 17: are the norm for the Democratic Party. They are getting
- 56:15Speaker 17: more violently leftists singham sorows, a cabal of Marxists pushing
- 56:26Speaker 17: for the destruction of the United States and people like
- 56:30Speaker 17: Chuck Schumer lying to the general public about the Trump
- 56:35Speaker 17: organization and the Trump agenda. When is this going to
- 56:40Speaker 17: come to a head? When is reality and truth going
- 56:45Speaker 17: to be the Norman politics?
- 56:48Speaker 4: Tony great, great point you bring up there, And I
- 56:50Speaker 4: don't know that reality and truth ever becomes the Norman politics.
- 56:55Speaker 4: Reality and truth have never been exciting or interesting, right.
- 56:58Speaker 4: That's just a shame, but it's it's true. Right. If
- 57:01Speaker 4: I tell you that there is a rabbit hole that
- 57:03Speaker 4: we can jump into together and just grab yourself your
- 57:06Speaker 4: tinfoil hat because you'll never believe this, then that's way
- 57:11Speaker 4: more sexy to people. It's way more appealing, and people
- 57:14Speaker 4: like that type of thing. So I agree with you
- 57:17Speaker 4: that there's a lot of Democrats out there that are
- 57:19Speaker 4: lying about Republicans and this is what they do. Right,
- 57:22Speaker 4: we're looking at a primary tomorrow. I brought that up earlier.
- 57:26Speaker 4: Her name is Daddy Alissa. I think Abby les Chevalier,
- 57:35Speaker 4: young Dominican American girl who's from that area of in
- 57:41Speaker 4: Wood or Washington Hypes, and I gotta tell you this
- 57:45Speaker 4: girl is an aoc zoron Mam Donnie endorsed type of
- 57:52Speaker 4: democratic socialist. She's angry, she's angry at capitalism, she's angry
- 57:59Speaker 4: at every thing that so many of us embrace. I
- 58:02Speaker 4: understand that we have political differences, but when your political
- 58:07Speaker 4: ideology is rooted in a hatred for a system that's
- 58:12Speaker 4: based on the free market, you are in effect hating
- 58:16Speaker 4: what this country stands for and hoping every day that
- 58:19Speaker 4: it changes fundamentally. This is difficult, right, very difficult. I mean, hey,
- 58:24Speaker 4: do you we're gonna do us what ultimately happens here tony.
- 58:27Speaker 4: I believe is that we have to be, like Reagan said,
- 58:30Speaker 4: informed patriots. We've got to know what's going on. The
- 58:33Speaker 4: day that reality and truth permeate the civil discourse, the
- 58:36Speaker 4: national agenda, the national dialogue, is the day that everybody
- 58:41Speaker 4: is doing just that, being an informed citizen, making sure
- 58:45Speaker 4: that we're calling out our politicians, calling out the news media,
- 58:49Speaker 4: pushing back because we know something to be right versus
- 58:51Speaker 4: something to be wrong, instead of saying, look, I'm really busy,
- 58:54Speaker 4: I don't care. Democrats Republicans two birds of the same feather,
- 58:58Speaker 4: the left wing and the right wing being all on
- 59:00Speaker 4: the same bird. Are all crooks, crook, a crooked b
- 59:03Speaker 4: the red team, the Blue team. Ayah blah blah blah,
- 59:06Speaker 4: bah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right, I'm just
- 59:08Speaker 4: gonna stay home and complain, don't. The only way we
- 59:12Speaker 4: get forward is to get through right anyway, how mean,
- 59:15Speaker 4: he goes. That's all I've got for you today. And remember,
- 59:18Speaker 4: you gotta stand for something, because if you stand for nothing,
- 59:21Speaker 4: you'll fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
- 59:25Speaker 4: evil to triumph is for good people like you to
- 59:28Speaker 4: sit there and do nothing. I start at Roxhima, take care,
- 59:32Speaker 4: good night, and God bless you. America. I'm a child
- 59:35Speaker 4: as and this is America.
- 59:39Speaker 12: This is America.
