1:40
Speaker 3: but on TV and translated into Spanish in my own
1:44
Speaker 3: voice through AI. It's cutting edge. Nobody's doing this type
1:49
Speaker 3: of thing, and it really is making an impact with
1:52
Speaker 3: you with these you know, charts that we're getting in
1:56
Speaker 3: different parts of the world. So excited to see what's
2:00
Speaker 3: going on there, and really thankful to each and every
2:02
Speaker 3: one of you, and for every one of you that
2:05
Speaker 3: has taken the minute or three that it takes to
2:08
Speaker 3: leave a review for this show on Apple podcast, on iHeartRadio,

Speaker 3: stuff is the life blood here. This show is free,
2:25
Speaker 3: but this is the currency we deal in, right. We
2:27
Speaker 3: need reviews, we need shares, we need all that stuff.
2:29
Speaker 3: Listens views, That's how this business works. So I thank
2:33
Speaker 3: you for that. And if you haven't done it, please do.
2:35
Speaker 3: You got to go a little bit beyond listening sometimes
2:38
Speaker 3: because you know, it's competitive and we got to beat
2:40
Speaker 3: the other guys anyway, So that's happening. And again, grassias
2:43
Speaker 3: to all of you for keeping the conversation going really
2:46
Speaker 3: really strong. I couldn't be more grateful. Now I want
2:49
Speaker 3: to dive into this very wild Tuesday, April fourteenth, it's
2:52
Speaker 3: Holocaust Remembrance Day, a solemn moment obviously for many people
2:57
Speaker 3: across the world, to honor the millions who suffered and perished,
3:01
Speaker 3: and to stand firm against hatred in any form, especially
3:04
Speaker 3: towards Jews. And I paused to take a moment to
3:08
Speaker 3: remember there's a lot of contention around this at this point.
3:12
Speaker 3: So we're going to talk a little bit about Holocaust
3:15
Speaker 3: Rememberance Day in a little bit, but I also want
3:18
Speaker 3: to talk about some of the other stuff that's happened
3:19
Speaker 3: in the news. Right the news cycle seems to not
3:22
Speaker 3: slow down for anybody. We've got brand new allegations hitting
3:26
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill. A California woman named Lana Druze. She held
3:29
Speaker 3: a press conference earlier today accusing former Congressman Eric Swallll.
3:34
Speaker 3: He's former congressman now because he was forced to quit.
3:37
Speaker 3: This was he was holding strong. First, he quit his
3:39
Speaker 3: campaign for governor. That was just yesterday's news. Now he
3:43
Speaker 3: had to quit Congress altogether. Because this is brutal. I
3:47
Speaker 3: want you to listen to this.
3:49
Speaker 5: He raped me, and he choked me. And while he
3:58
Speaker 5: was choking me, I lost consciousness, yes, and I thought
4:03
Speaker 5: I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity,
4:11
Speaker 5: although I did not undergo a rape kit at the time,
4:14
Speaker 5: I disclosed the assault to the people closest to me.
4:22
Speaker 5: I also recorded these events in my handwritten calendar the
4:28
Speaker 5: assault and its impact or later documented during my therapy
4:32
Speaker 5: sessions at a sexual assault center in Connecticut. It had
4:41
Speaker 5: a profound impact on my mental health. I self medicated
4:48
Speaker 5: in an unhealthy way. I did not want to live anymore.
4:57
Speaker 5: I cried all the time for years. Time I was
5:02
Speaker 5: in a dating relationship with a boyfriend I was fully
5:05
Speaker 5: committed to. I have never cheated in my life, and
5:10
Speaker 5: I would never have engaged in a consensual sexual encounter
5:14
Speaker 5: with Eric Swawall.
5:16
Speaker 3: That again is Lana Drew's new allegations. This comes after
5:21
Speaker 3: all those videos that we saw of him in the
5:23
Speaker 3: hotel room, and again it's still unconfirmed if that's him
5:26
Speaker 3: or not. So I don't want to excuse me say
5:29
Speaker 3: something that isn't true. But Eric Swalwell just resigned from
5:33
Speaker 3: Congress after this heinous sexual assault allegation. And he made
5:38
Speaker 3: this dramatic announcement just a couple hours after she made
5:41
Speaker 3: that bombshell press conference. And this is a big deal,
5:46
Speaker 3: right because he was out there, you know, happy is
5:50
Speaker 3: everything saying oh I didn't do it. Oh it's a
5:52
Speaker 3: bunch of lies, blah blah blah, and listen. I don't know.
5:56
Speaker 3: I don't ever want to be in that position. And
5:59
Speaker 3: I've seen people go through that, like Mike Tyson, for example,
6:03
Speaker 3: and it wasn't true. In my opinion, it was not
6:05
Speaker 3: true what Mike Tyson did. He might have been a
6:06
Speaker 3: hot head, he might have done a lot of things
6:08
Speaker 3: that may have been wrong, but I don't think he
6:10
Speaker 3: went to jail for raping a woman. Well, I should
6:14
Speaker 3: say I don't think he raped the woman. He did
6:16
Speaker 3: go to jail. And I don't know what happened here
6:19
Speaker 3: with Swollwell, it very well, may be, very well, may
6:22
Speaker 3: not be. I don't know. She seems credible to me,
6:26
Speaker 3: but what do I know? Right? The extent of my
6:29
Speaker 3: knowledge of sexual assault is very limited, but maybe a
6:33
Speaker 3: little bit more than most because I have some family
6:36
Speaker 3: members that have dealt with that and other things. But listen,
6:42
Speaker 3: if you want to make an allegation, I think you
6:46
Speaker 3: have to do it immediately. Right. I think I'm with
6:49
Speaker 3: the left on this one. We should believe the women.
6:52
Speaker 3: I do make your allegation, I believe your allegation. Let's
6:55
Speaker 3: investigate it. Trust but verifying, like that's what Reagan said,
6:58
Speaker 3: That's what I think needs to happen. And we saw
7:01
Speaker 3: this with Christine blasi Ford. She went to congressating all
7:04
Speaker 3: these things, and when they started asking questions, and some
7:06
Speaker 3: still today they say, look, this wasn't that Brett Kavanaugh
7:09
Speaker 3: didn't do all those things? Is that this woman couldn't
7:12
Speaker 3: remember the issue is if it were bad, then it
7:18
Speaker 3: should be bad. Then, right, it can't just be bad
7:21
Speaker 3: then and bad now. And I understand the argument, I
7:23
Speaker 3: really do, people saying, look, when this happens, they're in shock,
7:25
Speaker 3: they feel ashamed, they feel betrayed, they don't know what
7:28
Speaker 3: to do. I understand all of it. I honestly do
7:31
Speaker 3: as best as I can understand it. Right, I may
7:32
Speaker 3: not have the full capacity to understand what a woman
7:36
Speaker 3: going through that is going through experiencing, but I can
7:40
Speaker 3: say it reeks and smacks so heavily of sheer politics
7:47
Speaker 3: when this guy's running for governor and now the allegations
7:51
Speaker 3: come out, and I understand the argument that they make, saying, well,
7:53
Speaker 3: that's what it took. You know, when I realized this guy,
7:56
Speaker 3: there's no way I could let him become governor, that
7:58
Speaker 3: was the straw that broke the camel back. Well, you know,
8:00
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be that. It should be the fact that
8:03
Speaker 3: this man did something to you. He touched your body
8:05
Speaker 3: without your permission, hurt you, and harmed you. And that
8:09
Speaker 3: should be the straw that breaks the camel's back. And
8:11
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to blame her. I'm really not, like
8:13
Speaker 3: I said, I believe her. She seems credible to me,
8:15
Speaker 3: and I think he's a douche if he did those things,
8:17
Speaker 3: and he should go to jail if he can, if
8:19
Speaker 3: they can make a case out of this. And I
8:22
Speaker 3: understand sometimes fighting in the media is more powerful than
8:26
Speaker 3: fighting in the courtroom. We've seen that with Trump, right.
8:29
Speaker 3: Trump had to fight a lot of things in the
8:31
Speaker 3: media because going to court wasn't enough. They were trying
8:33
Speaker 3: to put him in jail. And it's going to the
8:35
Speaker 3: media that oftentimes helps assuage people from going in the
8:42
Speaker 3: direction that you know your detractors are pushing them in.
8:45
Speaker 3: I get that as well, but big bombshell news. Nonetheless,
8:51
Speaker 3: congress erupted at the update, of course, Congresswoman Anna Paulina
8:57
Speaker 3: Luna and quick caveat on that I always mistakenly call
9:02
Speaker 3: her Anna Paulina Rubio because there's a singer named Paulina
9:07
Speaker 3: Rubio and it just is always in my head. And
9:10
Speaker 3: forgive me for that, Congresswoman. I think I did that
9:13
Speaker 3: to her on the air a few times and she
9:14
Speaker 3: hasn't come back on with me, so I think she
9:16
Speaker 3: was offended by it, and I do apologize for that,
9:18
Speaker 3: but I will say that she kudos to her right
9:24
Speaker 3: because she says there's more disgusting stuff coming, and she
9:29
Speaker 3: equally called for the resignation of Tony Gonzalez, a Republican
9:34
Speaker 3: congressman who had an extramarital affair with a woman in
9:39
Speaker 3: his office, and that woman sadly committed suicide by setting
9:42
Speaker 3: herself on fire. And I can't blame him for her
9:49
Speaker 3: doing that to herself, but I think we can all
9:53
Speaker 3: agree that had that not happened, maybe she might not
9:57
Speaker 3: have done that right. And these are all maybies, so
10:00
Speaker 3: I'm not putting it on him. Because a guy, whether
10:03
Speaker 3: you're married or not married, at this point, you break
10:05
Speaker 3: up with a girl and you say, look, it's not
10:08
Speaker 3: working out, or thanks. You know, I was just looking
10:10
Speaker 3: for a casual relationship and I'm not really looking for
10:13
Speaker 3: something serious, and she starts going into I can't believe you,
10:20
Speaker 3: And I don't know what happened here. What I do
10:22
Speaker 3: know is that that girl is dead today and that
10:24
Speaker 3: she did it by setting herself on fire. And that
10:26
Speaker 3: is heartbreaking, and anybody going through that much pain, I
10:30
Speaker 3: would imagine it isn't just pain from a breakup. It's
10:34
Speaker 3: pain that's pre existing and is exacerbated by the breakup
10:39
Speaker 3: and we've got to work on people getting healed. Right.
10:42
Speaker 3: Everybody has a skeleton in their closet. Everybody has not
10:46
Speaker 3: only a bruised ego, but you know, some part of
10:49
Speaker 3: their inner person, their inner child, as young would put it,
10:53
Speaker 3: that's been aggrieved. And those are the things you want
10:57
Speaker 3: to work on, you know. However, you want to do
10:59
Speaker 3: it virtually, psychologically, maybe all of the above, but it
11:05
Speaker 3: needs to be done so that ultimately, you know, I
11:08
Speaker 3: look at these things, and while I could sit here
11:10
Speaker 3: and slam this guy because he's a leftist, or slam
11:12
Speaker 3: the other guy because he was being an adulter to me,
11:16
Speaker 3: the bottom line here is the same as that all
11:18
Speaker 3: of us, irrespective of what we do for a living,
11:22
Speaker 3: can do better in life. And we need to do
11:24
Speaker 3: better in life. And that's it. And I think we
11:28
Speaker 3: all need to dig deep. You know. For me, it's
11:30
Speaker 3: trying to be more like Jesus the Christ, the Messiah,
11:33
Speaker 3: my savior. I want to be more like him. How
11:36
Speaker 3: much I don't know. Right, there's days where I'm like, ah,
11:38
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that. I don't want to
11:40
Speaker 3: be nice to you know, bless those that curse me. Right,
11:44
Speaker 3: Sometimes you read the scripture, and you say, man, I
11:47
Speaker 3: don't know if I want to do all that. And
11:49
Speaker 3: that's the struggle, right the Apostle Paul said, the flesh
11:55
Speaker 3: warth against the spirit, and the spirit warrith against the flesh.
12:00
Speaker 3: Some translations say lust it, but either way the outcome
12:04
Speaker 3: remains the same. So again, kudos to congresswomen and Apolina
12:09
Speaker 3: Luna for calling for bipartisan resignations. And I think whether
12:17
Speaker 3: it was something that we could say congratulations to these
12:21
Speaker 3: congressmen for stepping down, doing the right thing and not
12:24
Speaker 3: embarrassing their districts, I don't know. I think they were
12:26
Speaker 3: both about to get expelled from Congress and they did
12:29
Speaker 3: that to not have an expulsion on their record so
12:32
Speaker 3: that they could say, look, I didn't want to be
12:33
Speaker 3: a distraction to my party. I didn't want to be
12:35
Speaker 3: a distraction to my district, let alone to my country.
12:39
Speaker 3: And that's why I got out of the way. But
12:41
Speaker 3: not a good look for either of them. Honestly, I
12:43
Speaker 3: wish both of them godspeed, and I wish them the
12:46
Speaker 3: help that they need. And the families and the victims
12:48
Speaker 3: and everybody. Just an ugly situation all around, and not
12:54
Speaker 3: something I want to know too much more about, honestly,
12:58
Speaker 3: but we will keep you up to space, you know,
13:00
Speaker 3: in any of the details that emerge and what that
13:02
Speaker 3: means for accountability in Washington. Plus, there's some sad and
13:10
Speaker 3: interesting news coming out of Texas regarding the family of
13:17
Speaker 3: a seventeen year old cheerleader. They filed a lawsuit against
13:21
Speaker 3: the distributors of a popular energy drink. They say that
13:27
Speaker 3: excessive caffeine from the drinks contributed to her enlarged heart
13:31
Speaker 3: and tragic death. A reminder that sometimes those quick energy
13:36
Speaker 3: boosts come with real risks, especially for young people. And
13:40
Speaker 3: my thinking here is, oh my god, I can't imagine
13:45
Speaker 3: losing a child. Number one. You know, I have daughters
13:48
Speaker 3: and they were both seventeen at one point, and you
13:53
Speaker 3: know I read that stuff and I can't separate myself
13:57
Speaker 3: from that, right. I always say, oh my god, what
13:59
Speaker 3: happened to me? I wouldn't want that to happen to me.
14:01
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. You know why I tell my kids not
14:03
Speaker 3: to drink that stuff, Because when I was that age,
14:07
Speaker 3: or maybe a little older, I might have been nineteen,
14:09
Speaker 3: I used to take these pills called xenodron. They were
14:14
Speaker 3: like caffeine pills for like working out and whatever, and
14:16
Speaker 3: they helped you to burn fat and they worked right,
14:21
Speaker 3: but you were high as a kite, right, you were
14:22
Speaker 3: just so Eventually I felt like stressed out and anxious
14:28
Speaker 3: and just way too much. The jittery of the caffeine
14:32
Speaker 3: was too much, and you know, I stopped using it.
14:36
Speaker 3: And then years later they said, oh my gosh, this
14:38
Speaker 3: is bad. It's killing people, are hurting people. So I
14:40
Speaker 3: think they're off the market. They might still be on
14:41
Speaker 3: the market, but they no longer have fen fen or whatever.
14:44
Speaker 3: It was, the active ingredient that you know, helped you
14:46
Speaker 3: to lose all the weight and you know, try to
14:49
Speaker 3: expose your muscles a little better. Anyway, long story short,
14:51
Speaker 3: I'm digressing here, and I didn't mean to give a
14:53
Speaker 3: free plug to anybody. That's an interesting case and we're
14:55
Speaker 3: going to get into that in a little bit. Oh
14:57
Speaker 3: the Pope Pope versus Trump, the feud keepslling. They continue
15:01
Speaker 3: to bicker with one another. Now borders our Tom Holman,
15:04
Speaker 3: himself a lifelong Catholic, jumping in getting tagged in by
15:07
Speaker 3: Editrumpito telling the Vatican to stay out of US immigration policy.
15:11
Speaker 3: Stay out of it. He says, we got the audio
15:14
Speaker 3: clip on that. I'll bring it to you in a
15:15
Speaker 3: little bit. The family drama continues with the Pope and
15:19
Speaker 3: El Trumpito, and it gets a little more sinister. I'll
15:23
Speaker 3: get into the centator side of it, at least what
15:26
Speaker 3: my thoughts are on some of what I'm hearing out
15:28
Speaker 3: there and some of the opinions that people send me.
15:31
Speaker 3: And I'll even give you some of the opinions people
15:33
Speaker 3: send me privately that they don't want to come on
15:36
Speaker 3: the show and say what they will say to me
15:37
Speaker 3: in private. So I'll tell you the opinions. I just
15:39
Speaker 3: won't tell you who's saying it. And we're going to
15:41
Speaker 3: break it all down with facts, my spin of course,
15:46
Speaker 3: and what else. I think. That's everything I've got, so
15:49
Speaker 3: there is a lot more to come. Straight ahead. It's
15:51
Speaker 3: me Rich valdesk keeping your company tonight, keep it locked

16:34
Speaker 3: and I want to get into this story that I
16:36
Speaker 3: mentioned to you about the cheerleader. Looks like when she
16:40
Speaker 3: was younger, she was a beauty queen by all accounts,
16:43
Speaker 3: a beautiful little girl that was growing up, and her
16:46
Speaker 3: life ended way too quickly in my opinion, and her
16:49
Speaker 3: family now says it's the result of an energy drink
16:52
Speaker 3: that may have exacerbated an enlarged heart that she already had.
16:57
Speaker 3: I've got a report on this from CBS up school.
17:01
Speaker 1: Student Larissa Rodriguez.
17:03
Speaker 3: Her goal was to go to law school. She had
17:05
Speaker 3: already been admitted to UT undergrad amongst twenty other schools.
17:09
Speaker 1: The seventeen year old cheerleader and student council president passed
17:12
Speaker 1: away in October. Her family's lawyers now announcing her cause
17:16
Speaker 1: of death. They say it was an enlarged heart because
17:18
Speaker 1: of excessive caffeine consumption.
17:20
Speaker 7: ECHL examiner did not say in her report that she
17:24
Speaker 7: died because she drank caffeine that day.
17:27
Speaker 3: It's because the continuous drinking of caffeine, they said.
17:30
Speaker 1: In the year leading up to her death, she had
17:32
Speaker 1: picked up a habit of drinking Alani New energy drinks.
17:36
Speaker 1: The drinks became such a part of her life that
17:39
Speaker 1: even her homecoming proposal was Alani themed. While the cans
17:42
Speaker 1: do have a label that says the drink is not
17:44
Speaker 1: recommended for children, the lawsuit claims the drinks were defectively designed, marketed,
17:50
Speaker 1: and had inadequate warnings about the serious cardiac risks that
17:54
Speaker 1: excessive caffeine can cause. It's the senior year for high
17:57
Speaker 1: school student Larissa Rodriguez.
18:00
Speaker 7: There's no warnings. There's there's nothing on her that says, hey,
18:03
Speaker 7: if you drink this, you're going to be overstimulating your heart.
18:06
Speaker 1: Glazier's Beer and Beverage, the company that distributed the drink
18:09
Speaker 1: to the store where Larissa would buy them, has been
18:12
Speaker 1: named a defendant in the lawsuit.
18:13
Speaker 3: They're the ones that receive it, distribute it, and put
18:17
Speaker 3: it all over the place, and they also failed to
18:21
Speaker 3: give any warnings.
18:22
Speaker 1: Larissa's mother said that while she knew energy drinks weren't
18:25
Speaker 1: good for her daughter, she had no idea of just
18:27
Speaker 1: how bad they could be. Now she's hoping other parents
18:30
Speaker 1: will think twice before allowing their kids the drinks.
18:33
Speaker 7: I just hope that, yeah, I hope that people out
18:35
Speaker 7: there at least are aware now. And I mean, she'll
18:39
Speaker 7: probably save some lives. There's no warnings, there's.
18:42
Speaker 3: No it's horrible, absolutely horrible to hear a parent have
18:46
Speaker 3: to go through something like that, rip Larissa. Honestly, these
18:51
Speaker 3: things again, I'm incredibly biased on these things because my
18:54
Speaker 3: own daughter, I've seen a million pictures like the one
18:58
Speaker 3: that they just showed me. My own daughter. She ran track,
19:00
Speaker 3: she was a cheerleader, she was a flyer. She's the
19:04
Speaker 3: little one that they throw in the air. And she
19:06
Speaker 3: did not drink those drinks, thankfully. But she worked out
19:10
Speaker 3: like a madman, lost a ton of weight while she
19:12
Speaker 3: was cheerleading, so that, you know, she could remain nimble
19:15
Speaker 3: and whatnot. And it was, you know, it's an intense
19:17
Speaker 3: time of watching your kids grow up and become athletes.
19:21
Speaker 3: And like my other daughter, who had really gotten her legs,
19:26
Speaker 3: had gotten really really muscular, you know, and she had
19:30
Speaker 3: done some sports as well, like cheerleading through school. But
19:33
Speaker 3: when she got to college, she started doing taekwondo, and
19:37
Speaker 3: let me tell you it was. You know, it was like, yeah,
19:39
Speaker 3: kick some butt, but at the same time, when they're
19:41
Speaker 3: kicking them back, it's like, oh, I hope she doesn't
19:43
Speaker 3: get hurt, but that's why you got to bulk up
19:45
Speaker 3: and get beefy. And it was really just, you know,
19:50
Speaker 3: a heartbreaking moment for me, right And I know, as
19:52
Speaker 3: you guys are hearing this, you're like, all right, so
19:54
Speaker 3: what's the story here? And listen. That's the story. They're
19:57
Speaker 3: suing the energy drink company for not giving enough of
20:01
Speaker 3: a warning label. And I don't want to come against
20:04
Speaker 3: the parents on this, but I do want to say
20:06
Speaker 3: I myself don't drink any energy drinks other than like
20:11
Speaker 3: maybe diet soda every now and again, because that type
20:14
Speaker 3: of caffeine goes long for me. Like if I got
20:18
Speaker 3: a long drive, I have a diet soda, and let
20:21
Speaker 3: me tell you I can. I won't fall asleep for
20:24
Speaker 3: like eight or nine hours after drinking twelve or twenty
20:26
Speaker 3: ounces of that stuff. Coffee is immediate, you know. I
20:30
Speaker 3: drink a coffee espresso coffee right before the show. I'm
20:33
Speaker 3: drinking one right now, and I'm drinking it slow. So
20:35
Speaker 3: that I don't get too hyper. And coffee works quick,
20:40
Speaker 3: soda works slow, but these caffeine drinks I know they
20:42
Speaker 3: work very very quickly. So I guess my question for
20:46
Speaker 3: you guys, if you want to chime in on this,
20:48
Speaker 3: you can eight seven seven Valdez one. How responsible is
20:54
Speaker 3: this company? And I can tell you the reason I don't.
20:56
Speaker 3: There might have been a story like this years ago.
20:58
Speaker 3: I don't know if there was, but there's a very
21:00
Speaker 3: popular energy drink out there, and people I know, whether
21:04
Speaker 3: they go to the gym or you know, when they're
21:07
Speaker 3: at a nightclub and it's getting late, they'll order a
21:10
Speaker 3: vodka with that in it. And for me, it's just
21:14
Speaker 3: way too much caffeine. And these energy drinks have about
21:18
Speaker 3: two hundred milligrams of caffeine. I drink espresso coffee, which
21:22
Speaker 3: is about sixty five milligrams of caffeine. A full cup
21:26
Speaker 3: of coffee I think eight ounces is about ninety five
21:29
Speaker 3: milligrams of caffeine, So you figure this is like two
21:32
Speaker 3: cups of coffee. But now if you're doing two or
21:36
Speaker 3: three of these a day, you know, that's kind of
21:39
Speaker 3: like six cups of coffee a day at seventeen and
21:43
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's bad for you or good
21:46
Speaker 3: for you. It seems like a lot. It's a lot
21:48
Speaker 3: more than I drink, But I think back, I think
21:50
Speaker 3: at that age, or at least eighteen nineteen twenty, I
21:53
Speaker 3: probably was drinking like six cups of coffee a day.
21:56
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I don't know the answer to
21:59
Speaker 3: all of that, but I do know that I think
22:02
Speaker 3: it's common knowledge that these things are bad for you,
22:05
Speaker 3: and if you're drinking a lot of those, you're going
22:08
Speaker 3: to be messed up. So what's the solution here? I
22:10
Speaker 3: don't know. Do we put these things behind lock and key.
22:13
Speaker 3: Do we make it so that you've got to be
22:14
Speaker 3: eighteen to buy a drink without caffeine in it? I
22:19
Speaker 3: don't know the answer. It wouldn't bother me. I don't
22:22
Speaker 3: necessarily like more laws and bigger government. But at the
22:25
Speaker 3: same time, if it can make a difference that way,
22:29
Speaker 3: if people are actually dying, and if this is just
22:31
Speaker 3: the first case we're hearing, but there's many others that
22:33
Speaker 3: have gone undetected, then it's worth having the conversation. And again,
22:38
Speaker 3: I'm not here to get in the way of the
22:39
Speaker 3: energy drink people. I just happen to not be somebody
22:43
Speaker 3: that consumes them because I typically don't like a lot
22:46
Speaker 3: of caffeine. I know that there are some that are
22:49
Speaker 3: caffeine free. I think those are amazing. So anyway, those
22:53
Speaker 3: are my thoughts on that. I want to know what
22:54
Speaker 3: you think on that, because obviously it's an absolutely terrible,
22:59
Speaker 3: terrible thing. Anyway, I want to move on, and I
23:02
Speaker 3: want to get into something that AOC said, AOC all
23:07
Speaker 3: out crazy herself, AOC all out crazy making a comment
23:10
Speaker 3: yesterday that I thought fascinating. I saw it yesterday. It
23:15
Speaker 3: might have been from a few days earlier, but AOC
23:19
Speaker 3: claims that all of this that's going on has nothing
23:21
Speaker 3: to do with energy, has nothing to do with nuclear weapons,
23:24
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with anything, has everything to do
23:27
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump protecting his image because he's guilty as sin.
23:34
Speaker 3: Regarding the Epstein files, now, we went through this Epstein
23:36
Speaker 3: file stuff, and all of these files led to I
23:41
Speaker 3: think mostly everything being released right and some of it
23:45
Speaker 3: is redacted to protect witnesses and whatnot. Yet releasing these
23:49
Speaker 3: millions and millions and millions, I think it's three million
23:52
Speaker 3: documents isn't enough, and it's definitely not enough for aoc
23:56
Speaker 3: all out crazy my least favorite congress Homan from the
23:59
Speaker 3: Bronx and Queens check out what's your manage?
24:01
Speaker 4: To Americans who think that war, that bombing of Iran
24:04
Speaker 4: was in some way sort of intended to distract Americans
24:07
Speaker 4: from the Epstein Files.
24:08
Speaker 8: Well, listen, I think we're seeing this pattern right. Trump
24:12
Speaker 8: has impulsively. He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively
24:19
Speaker 8: went in on Iran. There was no exit and no
24:23
Speaker 8: endgame for either of these situations. It led to increased
24:27
Speaker 8: global instability everywhere he goes, and every time he's done that,
24:31
Speaker 8: it has been consistent with a spike or a revelation
24:34
Speaker 8: in what is happening with the Epstein files?
24:36
Speaker 3: Held on now. The first thing I want to say
24:38
Speaker 3: is she says impulsivity as if it is a bad thing.
24:42
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the right word she's using. I
24:44
Speaker 3: think it's that she's not looped in to everything, so
24:48
Speaker 3: when something happens, she's like, Wow, that was impulsive, not
24:51
Speaker 3: knowing what was going on behind the scenes. Number one.
24:54
Speaker 3: Number two, I don't think impulsivity is a bad thing.
24:59
Speaker 3: Like I said, I think that a measured response is
25:02
Speaker 3: always good. But sometimes, you know, I make a lot
25:06
Speaker 3: of boxing or UFC analogies, and you'll see this, if
25:10
Speaker 3: you're a fan of either of those combat sports, you'll
25:13
Speaker 3: see that. Sometimes somebody will throw a punch and the
25:16
Speaker 3: other person will just, you know, weave out of the
25:18
Speaker 3: way and they're measuring right, They're looking, They're trying to
25:22
Speaker 3: see how far you reach, how much energy you're putting
25:25
Speaker 3: into throwing that punch. What's your mo Others will immediately
25:29
Speaker 3: move out of the way and strike back, boom boom,
25:31
Speaker 3: right blow for blow. It's all a matter of technique.
25:36
Speaker 3: I tend to think that both are necessary. So sometimes
25:40
Speaker 3: if action needs to be taken immediately, you have to
25:43
Speaker 3: take the action immediately or she saying impulsively. But I
25:48
Speaker 3: think it all comes down to who's telling the story.
25:50
Speaker 3: If I'm telling the story, I'm saying President Trump is
25:52
Speaker 3: taking decisive, immediate action. He gets information, he makes a choice,
25:57
Speaker 3: and he takes action quickly. He says it's impulsivity with
26:01
Speaker 3: no end plan. I think there's always an end plan.
26:04
Speaker 3: I mean, you have a slew of generals working for
26:07
Speaker 3: you to say that there's no endgame. And why she
26:10
Speaker 3: does that? She does this because she knows President Trump
26:13
Speaker 3: is going to pay attention to her. Oftentimes, if you're
26:16
Speaker 3: at a backyard barbecue and you're doing what you gotta do,
26:19
Speaker 3: or you're working intently on a wood project and you've
26:21
Speaker 3: got a saw running and you know the sweat is
26:24
Speaker 3: dripping off your brow, you can't always take your hand
26:27
Speaker 3: off the two by four and off the circular saw
26:30
Speaker 3: to wipe your brow right, or to swat away in
26:32
Speaker 3: annoying fly or mosquito. That's what AOC is here, right,
26:36
Speaker 3: She's like impulsivity. Impulsivity, Right, He's not going to take
26:41
Speaker 3: a moment and be AOC. What I'm talking about is immediate, decisive. Actually,
26:48
Speaker 3: he's not going to correct himself. He is the president,
26:51
Speaker 3: and most presidents wouldn't do that. So she uses this
26:54
Speaker 3: to her advantage, knowing that she can throw all sorts
26:56
Speaker 3: of bombs and he's not gonna say anything because he's
26:58
Speaker 3: already said she's a whack job. Go ahead, play the tap.
27:03
Speaker 8: I don't think that that coincidence is something to dismiss
27:09
Speaker 8: off the cuff. I think that he feels existentially tied
27:13
Speaker 8: to it, and I actually think that it is one
27:17
Speaker 8: reason that he must be removed from office.
27:20
Speaker 3: He's existentially tied to the Trump's existence is tied to
27:27
Speaker 3: the Epstein Files. Now, this is fascinating. I think what
27:29
Speaker 3: she's trying to say is that if people look hard
27:33
Speaker 3: and deep enough, they will find something in this Epstein
27:37
Speaker 3: file drop that will end his existence. I find this
27:41
Speaker 3: hard to believe. He's the guy that called to have
27:44
Speaker 3: it released. I mean, make that one.
27:46
Speaker 8: Makes sense because if this has that, if the Epstein
27:51
Speaker 8: files has such a hold on President Trump and this
27:54
Speaker 8: administration that they are willing.
27:56
Speaker 3: To play, where's the proof in that he's released more
27:59
Speaker 3: of the Epstein while he was a sitting president than
28:02
Speaker 3: any other president ever? Has Joe Biden had this information
28:07
Speaker 3: for years and did nothing with it. Where does she
28:10
Speaker 3: get this stuff? I don't get it.
28:12
Speaker 8: Plunge US and risk world war in order to save
28:17
Speaker 8: themselves politically, That is a.
28:19
Speaker 3: So AOC is asserting that if somehow there's a war,
28:27
Speaker 3: that somehow we cannot ask questions about the Epstein files.
28:33
Speaker 3: People are unable to talk about the Epstein File. I mean,
28:38
Speaker 3: this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Now, I
28:40
Speaker 3: understand you could say it's a distraction, it's a ploy
28:43
Speaker 3: you know, you throw a shiny object to the media
28:45
Speaker 3: and they chase that. But she's a congresswoman with all
28:49
Speaker 3: the rights and privileges thereof. She can use whatever influence
28:54
Speaker 3: she has and trade some horses if she needs to
28:57
Speaker 3: to get hearings on this stuff. I don't see her
28:59
Speaker 3: having any hearings on anything. I don't see her holding
29:02
Speaker 3: any press conferences on anything. This is her walking through
29:05
Speaker 3: the halls of Congress and a reporter asking her a
29:07
Speaker 3: quick sidebar question, how much do you care about this?
29:10
Speaker 8: Aoc the person the definition of someone that cannot make
29:15
Speaker 8: objective decisions for the American people.
29:19
Speaker 3: She is the definition of someone that is a grand
29:21
Speaker 3: stander that tries to make the political most of every
29:25
Speaker 3: opportunity as expedient as it can be for her. And
29:29
Speaker 3: again that's not necessarily a bad thing for a politician.
29:32
Speaker 3: Those are winning traits for a politician. Problem is she
29:35
Speaker 3: just goes overboard with it and it makes no sense.
29:38
Speaker 3: This Epstein thing, I think died a while back. There's
29:41
Speaker 3: going to be a few people that will never let
29:43
Speaker 3: it go, just like there's people that will never let
29:45
Speaker 3: go the jfk assassination or any other issue that they
29:50
Speaker 3: want to hold on to and theorize on. That's on them.
29:53
Speaker 3: That's not something that the rest of us have to
29:55
Speaker 3: be responsible for, especially when you're saying Trump's hiding the information.
29:59
Speaker 3: Trump says, release all of the information, and they release
30:02
Speaker 3: the information, and the reactions that are there, I mean
30:05
Speaker 3: they're minimal. It's not like you're not releasing three million
30:09
Speaker 3: pages of documents. They're released. What else is there? You
30:13
Speaker 3: want every last victim to now be dragged through the mud,
30:16
Speaker 3: every last person that ratted, every grand jury testimony that's protected,
30:20
Speaker 3: every last bit of that that's protected, has to be
30:23
Speaker 3: unprotected to satisfy you to do what? Even if we
30:26
Speaker 3: did that, do you think that's going to stop the
30:28
Speaker 3: warner on? I mean, I don't like to call her
30:31
Speaker 3: up and the huh, but I have to in this case. Right, So,
30:33
Speaker 3: let's line up the music for AOC. Go right ahead,
30:44
Speaker 3: that's for you AOC. All right, amigos, there is more
30:46
Speaker 3: to come, straight ahead. Stick with me, don't move a muscle.
30:50
Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdez.
30:52
Speaker 4: This is America. This is America.
31:08
Speaker 1: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
31:12
Speaker 1: to speak.
31:12
Speaker 3: With Rich Valdez.
31:14
Speaker 4: Very good. The honor is all yours.
31:22
Speaker 3: Conservative talk with a dash of soffrito. Now here's rich Valdez.
31:30
Speaker 9: Okay, to tell the people that I lost my whole family,
31:38
Speaker 9: my uncles and cousins, my parents, my sisters, everyone was
31:45
Speaker 9: murdered by the Germans. Okay in the camp here they
31:51
Speaker 9: were built by the Germans on the Polish ground. That
31:55
Speaker 9: was no such a thing like Polish concentration camp. There
32:02
Speaker 9: was everything Germans.
32:05
Speaker 4: Okay.
32:06
Speaker 3: That's all what I can hey to do. Okay, so
32:10
Speaker 3: you know your name, my name.
32:12
Speaker 9: Is ed Mosburg. Okay, and I also want to let's
32:17
Speaker 9: should God give you a blessing okay, good health and everything,
32:22
Speaker 9: because the most important blessing is from the gods. Okay,
32:31
Speaker 9: whatever religions you have, whatever you believe, this is what you.
32:36
Speaker 4: Should get the blessings.
32:38
Speaker 9: Okay, I thank you, and I just say everything the
32:41
Speaker 9: best and good health to you.
32:43
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. All right
32:45
Speaker 3: for media, welcome back, Rich val that's keeping your company
32:48
Speaker 3: this Tuesday night. And I want to get into Holocaust
32:52
Speaker 3: Remembrance Day a little bit on I ran a little
32:55
Speaker 3: bit on El Trumpito. Next segment, we're going to talk
32:57
Speaker 3: about El Trumpito. Versus the Pope Part two. As that
33:01
Speaker 3: saga continues, there's a lot to unpack here, so I
33:04
Speaker 3: will spend the next two segments doing this. The Holocaust
33:08
Speaker 3: is something that when I was a kid we never questioned.
33:11
Speaker 3: Right today there are people that are like, did it
33:13
Speaker 3: really happen? I don't know how one could have so
33:17
Speaker 3: many survivors across this globe with the tattoos on their
33:20
Speaker 3: arms of being in the concentration camps, with the stories
33:24
Speaker 3: of their family members and loved ones being slaughtered in
33:27
Speaker 3: mass graves, being sent to the ovens, them escaping, and
33:31
Speaker 3: yet people be like, Oh, it really wasn't so bad.
33:34
Speaker 3: I had someone tell me the other day. He said, no,
33:36
Speaker 3: wonder Hitler wanted to kill them. They're just so bad.
33:40
Speaker 3: And this is a person that, in every other facet
33:43
Speaker 3: of life is a normal person. And I said, what
33:45
Speaker 3: did the Jews do to you? And he said, Man,
33:47
Speaker 3: I was on a plane one time, and I was
33:49
Speaker 3: online like everybody else, waiting for to speak with the
33:54
Speaker 3: people who handle your flight ticket or whatever at the gate,
33:57
Speaker 3: and he says, and right there this woman came with
33:59
Speaker 3: a long dress and a wig on, and she was
34:02
Speaker 3: with one of those guys with the long curly hair
34:04
Speaker 3: on the sides and the big hat, and she just
34:06
Speaker 3: literally did not care that I was online, got right
34:09
Speaker 3: in front of me and just started speaking and complaining,
34:11
Speaker 3: saying she needed to have her seat change. And I said,
34:13
Speaker 3: excuse me, miss, I was online, and she didn't even
34:16
Speaker 3: she pretended I wasn't even there. And he said that
34:18
Speaker 3: wasn't the first time. I was going to seven to
34:20
Speaker 3: eleven another time and another one of these Jewish people.
34:24
Speaker 3: He's like, I held the door open for the guy,
34:26
Speaker 3: and the guy walked right through, and I said, oh, wow,
34:28
Speaker 3: you could at least say thank you again. He just
34:31
Speaker 3: looked at me and just kept walking. He said, these
34:33
Speaker 3: are some of the rudest people ever, and if somebody
34:37
Speaker 3: wants to get rid of them, then hey, look, maybe
34:39
Speaker 3: I should turn a blind eye. And I was like, listen,
34:41
Speaker 3: is this what you're all about. You always preach being
34:44
Speaker 3: a pacifist, you always preach being fair to all people.
34:48
Speaker 3: And he said, look, if I have to choose between
34:50
Speaker 3: the Jews and the Muslims, I'm choosing the Muslims. At
34:53
Speaker 3: least you know where you stand with them. They don't
34:56
Speaker 3: like pork, they don't like this. They don't like that
34:58
Speaker 3: you leave them alone, and and they won't bother you.
35:01
Speaker 3: I said, if you leave alone, they won't bother you.
35:03
Speaker 3: Are you seeing what's happening in Spain? Are you seeing
35:06
Speaker 3: what's happening in the UK? And again, I'm not trying
35:08
Speaker 3: to engage in the Muslims are worse than the Jews debate.
35:12
Speaker 3: I'm really trying to engage in a why are you
35:15
Speaker 3: allowing yourself to be used as an instrument of hate debate?
35:18
Speaker 3: And he wouldn't bind it. He was like, no, because
35:19
Speaker 3: that's it. He's like some people choose not to like blacks,
35:21
Speaker 3: some people choose not to like us. Because he's Hispanic,
35:23
Speaker 3: like me, he says, I'm choosing not to like those people.
35:27
Speaker 3: He said, they are damn people. All they do is
35:29
Speaker 3: bomb people and continuously grow the size of their country
35:33
Speaker 3: that doesn't even belong in that part of the world.
35:34
Speaker 3: Clearly that is the Muslim part of the world. They
35:37
Speaker 3: should get out and go somewhere else. And I'm going
35:39
Speaker 3: to Europe. And he was just adamant about this, and
35:41
Speaker 3: I thought, for no reason why because he watches a
35:43
Speaker 3: lot of news and he had a couple of bad
35:45
Speaker 3: experiences with people that were Orthodox Hasidic Jews, who I
35:49
Speaker 3: am going to say. I don't know if it's a
35:51
Speaker 3: matter of their custom or their culture, but they tend
35:54
Speaker 3: to not talk to people that are not Hasidic Jews,
35:56
Speaker 3: and they come across as very rude, because that is
35:59
Speaker 3: rude to to not say something to somebo. And again,
36:02
Speaker 3: I'm not jew hating here, I'm just pointing out the facts.
36:04
Speaker 3: I grew up in the Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. I've seen
36:06
Speaker 3: a lot of this, and they're not all like that,
36:09
Speaker 3: but there are some that aren't. Then he goes on
36:12
Speaker 3: to say about Munsey, New York, and they're all on welfare.
36:14
Speaker 3: What do you think about that? Right, everybody's going after
36:17
Speaker 3: the Somalians? What about all the Jews on welfare in Lakewood?
36:20
Speaker 3: What about all the Jews on welfare and Muncie? And
36:23
Speaker 3: I said, look, I'm not here for anybody. I'm not
36:25
Speaker 3: rooting for Jews to be on I'm not rooting for
36:27
Speaker 3: anybody to be on public assistance in any big number. Right.
36:32
Speaker 3: It's not like because I am pro Israel and a
36:36
Speaker 3: Zionist that I think that we should support what's happening
36:42
Speaker 3: when there's an abuse of public funds. No, we're here
36:45
Speaker 3: to be normal people, right and measured and care for
36:48
Speaker 3: our fellow men. And this was the conversation I was
36:51
Speaker 3: trying to have, and he didn't want to engage. He
36:54
Speaker 3: was angry. He just got angrier and anger as it
36:57
Speaker 3: went on. And again, just another example, like many I've
37:01
Speaker 3: seen over the years, of people who truly are triggered
37:06
Speaker 3: by Jews, absolutely triggered. Now I have the benefit of
37:10
Speaker 3: again growing up in a relatively mixed neighborhood, but with
37:14
Speaker 3: a lot of Jews. You know, I guess I lived
37:17
Speaker 3: on the last block of a mixed neighborhood and the
37:19
Speaker 3: block right behind me is where the Jewish neighborhood started.
37:22
Speaker 3: And you could see it. There's a difference of night
37:24
Speaker 3: and day. Apartment buildings over here, beautiful million dollar houses
37:27
Speaker 3: over there, manicured lawns, just absolutely gorgeous. Right Like East
37:30
Speaker 3: twenty first Street Avenue m you go that way in Brooklyn,
37:33
Speaker 3: then from Ocean Avenue towards Ocean Parkway, it was, you know,
37:39
Speaker 3: very mixed, and you know, the building next door there
37:43
Speaker 3: was Albanians. We had all sorts of neighbors and it
37:47
Speaker 3: was just a fascinating upbringing that I had, you know,
37:50
Speaker 3: to look at how the world changed today. So when
37:54
Speaker 3: it comes to Holocaust remembrance today and I got some
37:56
Speaker 3: audio I want to play for you, it it never
38:01
Speaker 3: strikes me as a surprise on how many people hate Jews.
38:05
Speaker 3: And I think that became most evident when I worked
38:08
Speaker 3: as mister callsqueener as the associate producer on the Mark
38:11
Speaker 3: Levin Show. And again, when you're producing a radio show,
38:16
Speaker 3: a live show, one like Marx that's you know, very
38:19
Speaker 3: very large, syndicated on several hundred stations and he's been
38:22
Speaker 3: on the air for more than twenty years, you get
38:25
Speaker 3: a lot of calls. And in dealing with callers from
38:28
Speaker 3: all over the place, some of them I would talk to,
38:31
Speaker 3: some of them were just calling just to be heard.
38:34
Speaker 3: I hate that Kike bastard. I hate, I mean just
38:38
Speaker 3: really vulgar, rude, disgusting language. And again it's par for
38:46
Speaker 3: the course, right. Sometimes there were coordinated efforts against him,
38:49
Speaker 3: right where people call in with the same insult, the
38:52
Speaker 3: same type of thing, which I'm sure he's going through now.
38:55
Speaker 3: Like when these different Code Pink type of organizations they
38:58
Speaker 3: call their membership and they go everybody call this number
39:01
Speaker 3: and give them a piece of your mind, that type
39:04
Speaker 3: of thing. But I say all that to say that
39:07
Speaker 3: you hatred is slowly becoming normalized in our society, and
39:11
Speaker 3: it's and it shouldn't, right, it really really shouldn't. I
39:15
Speaker 3: want to get into a lot of that because well,
39:18
Speaker 3: I don't think you know, not to sound preachy here,
39:20
Speaker 3: but I don't think hate is something we should hold
39:23
Speaker 3: on to, right. I don't think we should hate Muslims.
39:25
Speaker 3: I don't think we should hate Jews. I think hate
39:28
Speaker 3: is what is the enemy of our soul. Right, it's again,
39:31
Speaker 3: per my faith, Jesus is love. And I don't want
39:35
Speaker 3: to get preachy. But sometimes when you boil things down
39:37
Speaker 3: to brass tacks, that's all you've got left. What do
39:40
Speaker 3: you stand on? What is your faith position? Even if
39:43
Speaker 3: you're an atheist, Are you an atheist that's driven by
39:46
Speaker 3: hate or an atheist that's driven by love? Wherever you
39:49
Speaker 3: want to get your love? Because ultimately, and listen, I
39:51
Speaker 3: get angry at people. Right you want to see some hate.
39:53
Speaker 3: Put me on a highway, put me in a car, period,
39:57
Speaker 3: but I digress, or even a subway. Honestly, I don't
39:59
Speaker 3: like to subways either this is an issue to me
40:03
Speaker 3: of the heart, It's an issue of humanity of mankind,
40:06
Speaker 3: and people are exploiting it politically, right. Some people are
40:10
Speaker 3: exploiting it politically for money. Right, They're like, Oh, if
40:14
Speaker 3: I go with this team and I use my influence
40:16
Speaker 3: with this crowd, I can make money from these people.
40:19
Speaker 3: Then there's so we can call that greed or self interest,
40:22
Speaker 3: self dealing. Okay, but what about when it gets deeper
40:26
Speaker 3: than that? What about when we are where we are
40:29
Speaker 3: right now? Right? And by that I mean this the
40:32
Speaker 3: great one. Mark Levin, a friend, a mentor, He's always
40:36
Speaker 3: under attack. Lately, he tweeted something that he's said many times,
40:41
Speaker 3: you know, talking about people on the left. They've become
40:44
Speaker 3: so religious. His point was that, you know, Christians should
40:47
Speaker 3: be concerned with the slaughter of Christians around the world,
40:50
Speaker 3: which I agree with not so much. You know, the
40:55
Speaker 3: back and forth between the Pope and the president. And
40:59
Speaker 3: that's fine. If you want to focus on that, you can.
41:01
Speaker 3: I'm going to do a little bit on that in
41:02
Speaker 3: the next segment. But I want to introduce this idea
41:04
Speaker 3: to you because something I said to one of President
41:08
Speaker 3: Trump's advisors on Twitter yesterday is the same response I
41:11
Speaker 3: would give to to Mark Levin, and that is that
41:14
Speaker 3: I think we recently saw David Axelrod, who religiously I believe,
41:19
Speaker 3: was raised Jewish, He's not a Catholic, and he recently
41:23
Speaker 3: asked for an audience with the Pope. So he met
41:25
Speaker 3: with the Pope Leo about three weeks ago. And this
41:28
Speaker 3: is according to CBS News. If Axelrod is meeting with
41:31
Speaker 3: the Pope, and Axelrod has, you know, always been a
41:35
Speaker 3: very close confidant White House chief of staff to President Obama,
41:39
Speaker 3: senior advisor or whatnot, then I think it's safe to
41:43
Speaker 3: presume that Axelrod in and of himself doesn't have the
41:48
Speaker 3: type of poll to get a meeting with the Pope.
41:55
Speaker 3: That well, maybe he does, right, Maybe I'll take that back.
41:58
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people will get a meeting
41:59
Speaker 3: with the Pope if there in there and they say, hey,
42:00
Speaker 3: I used to work with the President, and you know,
42:03
Speaker 3: you know, you know, give you a blessing in some
42:05
Speaker 3: holy water and you get to take a picture, and
42:07
Speaker 3: that's cool, but it seems coincidental to me. And this
42:11
Speaker 3: is you know, let me get my hold on, let
42:14
Speaker 3: me unravel my tinfoil hat and put it on. It
42:18
Speaker 3: seems to me that if Obama and company Axelrod in
42:22
Speaker 3: particular sense that there is blood in the water with
42:25
Speaker 3: the rift that we're seeing with support for Israel, and
42:29
Speaker 3: this to them spells a long term political victory. Right now,
42:33
Speaker 3: what's the long term political victory? Well, quite simply, there's
42:35
Speaker 3: always been a minimal but existent Jews killed Jesus group
42:41
Speaker 3: of people, and many of them reside in the Catholic Church,
42:45
Speaker 3: So they've always been reticent against the Jews, like, no,
42:48
Speaker 3: the Jews did this to our Lord. On the other side,
42:52
Speaker 3: after the Protestant Reformation, you've got Evangelical Protestant Christians that
42:56
Speaker 3: believe that Jesus their Lord, is Jewish. Therefore they've embraced Zionism,
43:02
Speaker 3: and that divide, which I talked about yesterday, I called
43:05
Speaker 3: it a scab that they're picking at, continues to be
43:09
Speaker 3: the fissure that they keep going after to widen the chasm,
43:12
Speaker 3: keep chipping away, chipping away, chipping away. And now Catholics,
43:15
Speaker 3: in my opinion, have become the primary target for the
43:18
Speaker 3: anti jew movement. So if you're a Catholic, they are
43:21
Speaker 3: trying to push upon you this is bb Netnyao who's war.
43:24
Speaker 3: This is the Jews doing this. We are subservient to
43:28
Speaker 3: the Jews. We shouldn't have to fight that war. Our
43:31
Speaker 3: kids shouldn't be dying for Netan Yahoo and for the Jews.
43:34
Speaker 3: After all, they killed Jesus. There's a lot of people
43:37
Speaker 3: that believe this. It's not a huge number, right, It's
43:40
Speaker 3: a lot, but not more than the majority. But nonetheless,
43:44
Speaker 3: this is where you can start to pick off some people, right,
43:46
Speaker 3: you can pick off some people in the movement, and
43:49
Speaker 3: some of the biggest podcasters out there, who I like
43:52
Speaker 3: in many ways, right and who I respect, have a
43:55
Speaker 3: difference of opinion here, and this is continue to widen. Now,
44:01
Speaker 3: some people say it's not a big deal. It's not
44:02
Speaker 3: a big deal in so much as is Trump gonna
44:04
Speaker 3: lose support? Well, it's a given he's losing some support.
44:08
Speaker 3: Is it a significant amount of support? I would say
44:12
Speaker 3: probably not. It's probably not a significant amount of support,
44:16
Speaker 3: but enough to make noise and enough to build a Remember,
44:21
Speaker 3: remember communists, or at least communist sympathizers, Marxists, this is
44:27
Speaker 3: what they do. They find a chink in the armor
44:31
Speaker 3: and they just keep going. Like my mother used to say, right,
44:36
Speaker 3: drop by drop on the stone, a thousand years later,
44:40
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a crack in nut stone. This is
44:42
Speaker 3: what they do, divide and conquer, This is their wholem.
44:46
Speaker 3: So when it comes to Holocaust Remembrance Day, I say,
44:49
Speaker 3: remember that, remember that there are so many political factions
44:54
Speaker 3: at play. There are so many people that are using
44:57
Speaker 3: your emotion, using your faith to try and persuade you
45:03
Speaker 3: or assuade you one way or another, and in my opinion,
45:07
Speaker 3: that's wrong. This is where you have to stand on
45:09
Speaker 3: your faith, so that you know what you believe and
45:13
Speaker 3: stand on that right, stand for something or fall or anything.
45:18
Speaker 3: Like I always say at the end of the show.
45:20
Speaker 3: So I wanted to share those thoughts with you. And
45:23
Speaker 3: that was a lot more long winded than I expected
45:27
Speaker 3: it to be, but something that had to be said. Nonetheless,
45:31
Speaker 3: kind of a PSA to watch your back out there. Now.
45:35
Speaker 3: I'm going to take a pause right here. When we
45:36
Speaker 3: come back, we're gonna hear Joy Behar making some interesting comments,
45:42
Speaker 3: as well as Tom Homan jumping into the ring for
45:46
Speaker 3: President Trump in the Trump v. Pope battle that continues,
45:50
Speaker 3: and a couple other things. I got up my sleeve.
45:51
Speaker 3: Keep it locked right here. I'm rich Valdes.
45:53
Speaker 4: This is America.
46:07
Speaker 10: This is America, all right, and he goes, welcome back,
46:19
Speaker 10: rich about that about that with as that rich about
46:22
Speaker 10: that on all of the social media.
46:24
Speaker 3: Thanks for sticking with me. I want to get into
46:26
Speaker 3: what joy Behar had to say, because she was running
46:29
Speaker 3: her mouth over at the view. Check this out.
46:31
Speaker 8: Jesus himself did not run around saying I'm the Messiah.
46:34
Speaker 2: I'm the Messiah, Jesus.
46:37
Speaker 4: A little bit of.
46:46
Speaker 3: The he's got God. She just said, I knew Jesus.
46:52
Speaker 8: Jesus was not narcissistic like this guy and the Messiah.
46:56
Speaker 5: It's not narcissism to say it, Yes it is.
47:01
Speaker 4: I'm going to move this along because this is like, it's.
47:04
Speaker 3: Too much for me, too much for WHOOPI Goldberg. Again,
47:07
Speaker 3: that's the ladies on the view now while literally I
47:10
Speaker 3: watched that with a smile on my face as I
47:13
Speaker 3: was simultaneously shaking my head because that's crazy. Now, it's
47:18
Speaker 3: true that Jesus I don't remember. I mean, you can
47:22
Speaker 3: fact check me on that, but he said it in
47:24
Speaker 3: so many ways where he didn't have to say it right.
47:25
Speaker 3: He said, I am the son of man. He always
47:27
Speaker 3: made people say that he was not having to kind
47:31
Speaker 3: of say it himself, right, But be that as it may.
47:36
Speaker 3: How flip of her right, very flippant, if I might
47:39
Speaker 3: say so myself. That she says, I knew Jesus. Come on, listen,
47:44
Speaker 3: I take it as as as fun right. I realized
47:47
Speaker 3: she's trying to be funny. They're doing a talk show.
47:49
Speaker 3: Just because I don't agree with what they're saying doesn't
47:51
Speaker 3: mean that I don't get it. But she says he
47:54
Speaker 3: wasn't as narcissistic as this guy. And by this guy again,
47:58
Speaker 3: she's talking about President Trump and a lot of people
48:02
Speaker 3: don't like him for that reason. I was on my
48:04
Speaker 3: Facebook scroll the other day, and I don't go into
48:07
Speaker 3: my personal Facebook that often, usually in the work Facebook,
48:11
Speaker 3: But either way, I saw something from an old friend
48:15
Speaker 3: and somebody that I love this guy's heart. He's a
48:17
Speaker 3: good man, and he's somebody that I know loves the Lord.
48:21
Speaker 3: But like my friend who I talked about before, who
48:25
Speaker 3: just came out as a big anti Semite, this guy
48:29
Speaker 3: is saying, I told you, I told you, but you
48:31
Speaker 3: people wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt,
48:34
Speaker 3: and he he's trashing Trump again about the image that
48:38
Speaker 3: Trump tweeted, which, again I think, as I mentioned in
48:41
Speaker 3: the previous segment, has a lot to do with measuring right.
48:43
Speaker 3: It's one of those calculated things. And this is not
48:45
Speaker 3: me making excuses or anything like that. Trump's free to
48:48
Speaker 3: do what he wants, all right. I've set time and
48:50
Speaker 3: again I did not elect Trump because I needed spiritual
48:55
Speaker 3: help from him. I did not elect him to be
48:57
Speaker 3: a pastor or a preacher. I elected him to be president,
49:02
Speaker 3: to do what he's doing, and to do it in
49:04
Speaker 3: the fashion in which he does right. He uses bluster,
49:07
Speaker 3: he uses a lot of humor. He uses a lot
49:10
Speaker 3: of tough talk to make points and to bring things
49:15
Speaker 3: to the conversation that are being excluded from the conversation.
49:18
Speaker 3: He forces the media to do its job and then
49:21
Speaker 3: some sometimes he's able to manipulate them right into doing
49:25
Speaker 3: his job, right, into getting his talking points out there.
49:29
Speaker 3: Good for him. That's what any good leader, any good politician,
49:32
Speaker 3: should be doing.
49:32
Speaker 2: Right.
49:32
Speaker 3: He's mastered the use of the bully pulpit. Amen, Praise God, hallelujah.
49:37
Speaker 3: I think it's all a good thing. But joy behar
49:41
Speaker 3: you know, bringing this stuff up about Jesus and then
49:43
Speaker 3: going back and forth here and you know, yes, Jesus
49:46
Speaker 3: is the Messiah, but this isn't the case, right. The
49:50
Speaker 3: case here was to trash Trump. And this is part
49:54
Speaker 3: of the larger debate with Pope Leo. Now, Pop Leo's
49:58
Speaker 3: not arguing with him over his image that was tweeted out.
50:02
Speaker 3: He's fighting with him as in my opinion, as a
50:05
Speaker 3: result of a conversation he had with Obama's guy, which
50:08
Speaker 3: I would presume, and again this is all my own speculation,
50:11
Speaker 3: but you know, if Obama reaches out to the Pope
50:14
Speaker 3: sent let me be clear, Pope, so this is you know,
50:19
Speaker 3: it comes across as this is a former president of
50:21
Speaker 3: the United States, Barack Obama calling me. This is serious.
50:25
Speaker 3: So what does he do. He uses a surrogate. He
50:27
Speaker 3: sits back as he pontificates small p and he says,
50:33
Speaker 3: you know, David, David, you go call the Pope Tolim.
50:38
Speaker 3: We want to talk to him, explain a little bit
50:39
Speaker 3: about what's going on here. And when you do that,
50:44
Speaker 3: you go ahead and explain what's happening, and it gets
50:48
Speaker 3: the Pope to come to this realization where you know what,
50:53
Speaker 3: maybe I can I can influence peace by criticizing these tactics,
50:59
Speaker 3: just like former President Obama and mister Axel Radar. Instead
51:03
Speaker 3: of saying do do do do do? White House Switchboard,
51:09
Speaker 3: President Trump Plice. Who's this, Pope Leo? Hello Trump, Pope Leo? Oh,
51:16
Speaker 3: hello Pope. I want you to slow down your rhetoric.
51:20
Speaker 3: I want to help you end this warning around. But
51:22
Speaker 3: we got to come up with a plan where we
51:23
Speaker 3: can get peace. Well, I'm all about peace. You know.
51:27
Speaker 11: I'm the chairman of the Board of Peace. We have
51:29
Speaker 11: the Board of Peace. You know I've ended nine wards.
51:32
Speaker 11: You know I'm doing a lot to end the war
51:34
Speaker 11: here in Iran. I've destroyed their navy. They have nothing left.
51:37
Speaker 3: Then and get into a conversation. There's nothing wrong with that, right,
51:43
Speaker 3: But instead he wants to slow things down, stemy things
51:48
Speaker 3: and criticize Trump. Now, you may not like Trump's style
51:51
Speaker 3: or his substance, but at the end of the day,
51:55
Speaker 3: his goal, which is for there to not be in
51:59
Speaker 3: nuclear era one, should be shared by the Pope, should
52:01
Speaker 3: be shared by everybody. I don't know. Maybe that is
52:04
Speaker 3: my own uberus, Maybe that is my own assumption that
52:10
Speaker 3: genocidal Islamist crazy people shouldn't have nuclear weapons. Maybe I'm
52:18
Speaker 3: wrong on that, but that is my position. I don't
52:21
Speaker 3: think Iran should have that, and I think that was
52:24
Speaker 3: the position of Hillary Clinton, that was the position of
52:26
Speaker 3: Barack Obama. That's been the position I think of every
52:29
Speaker 3: major leader in the United States in my lifetime, never
52:33
Speaker 3: met one except for Obama, who even him he said that,
52:37
Speaker 3: you know, we should slow this down, we should make
52:39
Speaker 3: a deal, or he was always willing to make a deal,
52:42
Speaker 3: but the JCPOA framework was just that something in theory
52:46
Speaker 3: to slow them down, like we'll give you money if
52:48
Speaker 3: you don't build nukes. How stupid was that? But that
52:52
Speaker 3: was what President Obama chose to do. So that's where
52:57
Speaker 3: we are now. With all due respects to President Trump,
53:02
Speaker 3: things are going well, I think right. I think he's
53:05
Speaker 3: now has control of the street. He can open it
53:08
Speaker 3: and close it as he determines. You can do a
53:12
Speaker 3: lot of things. As a matter of fact, he sat
53:15
Speaker 3: with Maria Bartiromo saying that the war is almost over.
53:24
Speaker 3: Listen to this. This is Trump with Maria Bartaromo at
53:27
Speaker 3: the White House.
53:28
Speaker 2: I had a divert because if I didn't do that
53:32
Speaker 2: right now, you would have I ran with a nuclear weapon,
53:35
Speaker 2: and if they had a nuclear weapon, you would be
53:37
Speaker 2: calling everybody over there, sir, and you don't want to
53:40
Speaker 2: do this.
53:40
Speaker 3: Well, you keep saying, was is this war over?
53:44
Speaker 2: I think it's close to Ovia. I mean I view
53:46
Speaker 2: it as very close to over. You know what, if
53:50
Speaker 2: I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them
53:52
Speaker 2: twenty years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished.
53:57
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. I think they want to make
53:59
Speaker 2: a deal. Very bum bad. I had it.
54:02
Speaker 3: He wants them to make a deal. They want to
54:04
Speaker 3: make a deal. I think that's all accurate. It's all
54:07
Speaker 3: good stuff, right, And what we're not talking about, but
54:13
Speaker 3: there was a report on it is the consequence. And
54:18
Speaker 3: I love it when the consequence comes right. The action
54:22
Speaker 3: creates a reaction and then people go, oh wow, maybe
54:26
Speaker 3: that was the plan all along. And those are just
54:30
Speaker 3: those beautiful aha moments. Right. Listen to this one from
54:33
Speaker 3: the Fox News Channel eight of.
54:35
Speaker 12: The Strait of Horror moves in effect for nearly two
54:38
Speaker 12: hours now. A ship tracking firm reports one hundred and
54:42
Speaker 12: twenty one empty oil tankers are making their way to
54:46
Speaker 12: the United States of America. Sixty eight of those one
54:50
Speaker 12: hundred and twenty one vessels are very large crude carriers,
54:53
Speaker 12: capable of carrying two million barrels apiece. President Trump has
54:58
Speaker 12: urged country squeeze by Iron's disruption of the Strait of Horror,
55:02
Speaker 12: moves to turn to American energy supplies instead.
55:07
Speaker 3: How about that? How about that? So again, some might say, oh,
55:11
Speaker 3: Trump's so dumb, this is just an unintended consequence that
55:14
Speaker 3: benefited the United States, really, or maybe Trump knew all along,
55:19
Speaker 3: and he weighs these things and he says, all right, well,
55:21
Speaker 3: if I close the straight, that's you know, he always
55:24
Speaker 3: knows his next move. I close the straight, I have control.
55:27
Speaker 3: They can't sell or move any of their stuff. China
55:30
Speaker 3: gets nothing. So then it becomes what is China going
55:32
Speaker 3: to do? It's China going to arm them. Is China
55:34
Speaker 3: gonna weaponize the South China Sea? Is China going to
55:37
Speaker 3: attack Taiwan? All of the different things China can do
55:43
Speaker 3: to apply pressure so they can keep getting their oil.
55:46
Speaker 3: Because ultimately, right, the way diplomacy works, it's it's a
55:49
Speaker 3: two faced mouchinje if you will, right, it's a big
55:53
Speaker 3: gossip game. Right, So the Chinese, Oh yes, of course,
55:56
Speaker 3: we believe in diplomacy. We like to talk to you,
55:58
Speaker 3: mister President, and the Americans are like, of course, you know,
56:01
Speaker 3: we have nothing but respect for our Chinese partners and
56:03
Speaker 3: our current parts, and we believe in diplomacy and everything
56:06
Speaker 3: is wonderful and hunky dory, and let's see how we
56:08
Speaker 3: can get to a really positive outcome. And maybe we
56:11
Speaker 3: can do that. Right now. Have all these fancy, flowery, friendly,
56:14
Speaker 3: soft sounding words, but at the end of the day,
56:16
Speaker 3: it's all about making a deal, and it's about them
56:18
Speaker 3: saying smile, smile, smile, and tell them that we may
56:22
Speaker 3: have no choice but to make good on our existing
56:26
Speaker 3: military commitment with afghanist I'm with Iran and send the
56:32
Speaker 3: next shipment of weapons. Now, we don't want to do that,
56:35
Speaker 3: and we don't want that to be viewed as aggression.
56:36
Speaker 3: This was a pre existing arrangement we had of selling
56:39
Speaker 3: them some weapons. Or they could say, look, we're going
56:42
Speaker 3: to agree to not send any weapons, but guess what,
56:46
Speaker 3: we are going to be conducting exercises in the South
56:49
Speaker 3: China Sea and that may in fact slow things down
56:52
Speaker 3: for some of the tankers trying to get to the
56:55
Speaker 3: United States. Geez man, I'd hate for that to happen.
57:00
Speaker 3: But you know, these were scheduled, planned exercises we had
57:03
Speaker 3: and maybe I could get President chi Jing Pink to
57:06
Speaker 3: change his mind. If you give me something, you got
57:08
Speaker 3: to throw me a bone. And this is how they
57:10
Speaker 3: do diplomacy. So we're going to see how that plays out.
57:15
Speaker 3: In fairness, we don't know how it's going to end up,
57:17
Speaker 3: but I think ultimately we're going to have a deal
57:19
Speaker 3: because the bottom line is for Iran to get the
57:22
Speaker 3: squeeze play until they say no more nukes. They already
57:26
Speaker 3: offered five years no nukes and Trump said no, thank you.
57:29
Speaker 3: So it's no more nukes until then. We will continue
57:33
Speaker 3: to have our back and forth, our back and forth
57:37
Speaker 3: on the Vatican versus the White House and Tom Holman
57:43
Speaker 3: getting involved in that, and this was a good one.
57:45
Speaker 3: Let's see if we can get that one lined up.
57:48
Speaker 3: I want you to hear Tom Holman weighing in on
57:50
Speaker 3: this because he was very frank in his message under
57:56
Speaker 3: a minute long, but he was very clear, listen to this.
58:00
Speaker 13: I'm not gonna speak for a president of speaking for
58:01
Speaker 13: myself a lifelong Catholic. I wish they stay out of immigration.
58:05
Speaker 13: They don't know what they're talking about because if they
58:07
Speaker 13: wore my shoes for forty years and talked to a
58:10
Speaker 13: nine year old girl that are rap multiple times or
58:13
Speaker 13: still in the back of the trailers back to tractor trailer,
58:15
Speaker 13: nineteen dead aliens at my feet, including a five year
58:17
Speaker 13: old boy that baked to death. If they understood the
58:20
Speaker 13: atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their
58:23
Speaker 13: opinion would change. And I walk in discussion with any
58:25
Speaker 13: of them because they don't understand illegal immigration is not
58:29
Speaker 13: a victim's crime. Where President Trump had the most secure
58:32
Speaker 13: border in the lifetime of this nation. Right now, lives
58:36
Speaker 13: are being safe. He's saving thousands of lives a year
58:39
Speaker 13: because he had a secure border. Human traffickers are out
58:42
Speaker 13: of business right the cartels are going bankrupt because of
58:46
Speaker 13: that secure border. I wish that. I wish they'd understand that.
58:50
Speaker 13: Because they did, I think they have a different opinion.
58:54
Speaker 3: So Tom Homan gets it, and he said it plain
58:57
Speaker 3: as day. Stay out. On a quick other update, there's
59:00
Speaker 3: a anti Semitic influencer, if you will, name sneak O
59:05
Speaker 3: and he got snuck on the streets of New York City.
59:08
Speaker 3: Somebody took him down while he was shooting a video
59:11
Speaker 3: and the videos going viral. You can check that out.
59:14
Speaker 3: I think I retweeted it if you want to take
59:15
Speaker 3: a look on my Twitter. Always follow me on truth
