• 0:30
  Speaker 3: s at Rich Valdez on all of the social media. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: It's a blessing to be here with each and every
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: one of you this Monday, seventeen blocks from Madison Square
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Garden from our New Times Square studios in New York City.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: And I want to invite you to call us. Give
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: me a call eight seven seven valdest one, eight seven
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: seven Valdez one. And I want to jump into a
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: few things today. Of course, the Grammy Awards were over
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the weekends. We're going to talk about the Grammys. We're
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: going to talk about Gaza. The border in Gaza is
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: now open again in Egypt, so that there can be
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: some transit into the Gaza Strip we still have a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: partial government shut down. I'm pretty sure nobody noticed, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know. Anyway, portsiakasom just in case.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: And there was a couple other things I wanted to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: talk to speak to, but we'll get to those momentarily.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: There's plenty to get into with the news about the Grammys,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And of course what really strikes me here is that
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the Grammys were once something that I think a lot
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: of people enjoyed if they enjoy popular music, right, if
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you listen to Wagner like German opera, or I don't know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the Mamas and the Papas, then perhaps that's not popular
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: music today. That might have been popular music some years ago,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: but popular music, you know, you're average top forty. If
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: you listen to that type of stuff, then you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: usually the performances are good, at least in the Grammys.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: There's been plenty of times that, you know, I've been
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: let down by a performance there. But I have no
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: issue with the Grammys, right, not something I watched. Typically
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: if I have watched, I've watched it on a rerun,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you know, like the next day it had play shows
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: up on Hulu or something like that, or nowadays, so
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: many big events. You know, if you don't make it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: you get the clips nearly in real time on any
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of your social media. So that's where I see everything,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and I took exception to a Conejo model.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Bad Bunny Now, for those of you who don't know
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: who bad Bunny is, he's the most streamed artist on
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the planet by Spotify standards. He's a very very popular
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Puerto Rican rapper whose last album which one Album of
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the Year and the Grammy Awards first album that's not
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: in English to win Album of the Year. And I'm
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: sure some people are taking exception to that somewhere. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: know that it's the first album I've ever seen people
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: of all different races learning to speak Spanish. Right. There's
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: videos all over on YouTube in many places of people
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: translating this stuff so they can learn what these songs mean.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: There are people that have dedicated this part of their
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: channel right on Instagram and other social media where people
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: are explaining what the song means. And I find it fascinating.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I think it's a phenomena. I've never seen that in anything, right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I know they're k pop. Korean pop music is a
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is a thing, but I've never seen anybody try to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: explain K pop to me. It was kind of like
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the Koreans liked it, and people that weren't Korean also
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: liked it, but nobody ever tried to explain to me
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: what they were saying, because I think K pop is
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in English, if I'm not mistaken. But to have an album,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: and in particular this last album of Bad Bunnies, that
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: was you know, he sings in Spanish for the most part,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: but this album wasn't a rap album, right. It was
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: really to the roots of Puerto Rican culture with salsa
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and bomba and blena and different types of rhythms, very
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: typical to the island. And I thought it was a
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: great album. I enjoyed it. I've listened to it plenty.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: It was great. It's called Devi dirad maas photos, which
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: means I should have taken more pictures. And it's about
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: reminiscing about life, about family, about enjoying your neighbors, about
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: moving when you when you're a little kid, about growing up,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and it was just very typical against to Puerto Rico,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: but again typical to many people's childhoods. Anyway, the reason
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I'm opening the show with this is because A I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: think it's it was what offended me most on Monday morning,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: and what offended me most was the post I saw.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I think it was might have been Curtis Sliba who
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: sent me a clip from somebody saying bad Bunny slights
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: God in his acceptance speech, and it was a clip
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of bad Bunny saying, look, before I think thank God,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I want to say ice out. And I thought, now,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that's not cool. Uh, And I tweeted at bad Buddy,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: which I'm sure nobody even noticed him, definitely not him,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: but letting him know in Spanish that's not cool.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Bro.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: If you're you're gonna thank God, you should thank God first,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: all right. We should definitely not leave God for the end.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And I know some people say you saved the best
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: for a last, but to me, it seemed like a snub,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: and it seemed like putting politics first. And hey, if
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: that's what he wanted to do, he's a week out
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: from super Bowl and he's the big show. Okay, do
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: what you gotta do, brother, but I'm gonna do what
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I gotta do, and I'm gonna call you out for it. However,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: apart from that and trying to be fair and balanced.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you the rest of his speech, it
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: was as if he'd been watching some Charlie Kirk videos,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and I was actually happy by what I heard about
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: in those videos, minus the Ice out stuff. And again,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it's not that we should be saying ice in. It's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: just I think his angst against ICE is that of
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: many people who think it's just an incredible injustice. This
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: is totally unfair. You're kidnapping small children. You are you
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: know right? This is what they believe. They believe because
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the media is perpetuating so many lies that they are
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: locking up every last innocent person. That most of the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: people arrested by ICE are actually American citizens, right, these
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: are the stories that you hear. So again, I'm folks,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I'm marketing myself safe. I am safe again. Another day
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: of walking the streets of the United States as a
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Hispanic Latino, not LATINX Puerto Rican American, and I have
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: not been arrested yet again by ICE. So thank you,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: thank you Jesus. But I want you to hear what
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Elicnejomadel Bad Bunny had to say, including what I took
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: exception too, and the rest of it, which I thought
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: was pretty fair. This is only a little bit more
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: than a minute. Check this out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Before I say.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Thanks to God, I'm gonna say ice out.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I just want to say, and we'll get back to this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's cool to put God on the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: back burner, but I understand that room lit up with
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: this ice out. I don't support ice out. I think
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: ice is necessary. Have I been critical of their masks? Yes?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Why for public relations purposes, it's not. This is why.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: If you want Hollywood to turn on you, if you
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: want the people to turn on you, if you want
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: popular opinion to turn on you, you do stuff like that. Right,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You've got to play the game somehow. Right, I do
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: things from a very political perspective. Right, of course, there's
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: right and there's wrong. That's for you. I'm here to
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: talk about that gray area in between, how things get
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: perceived and if you don't want to activate the emotions
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: of everyone in the middle. And that's really who's affected here. Right,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: the left is recruiting new members. We're not very few.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I would say the conservative movement is not recruiting many
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: new people right now. It is something Nicki Minaj is
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: a relatively new convert if you will. But for the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: most part, the Left is racking up the points here
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: because this is something that really resonates with people, people
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: that are like, look, I understand how these people feel.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: They're just trying to have, you know, raise their kids
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: and go to work and do whatever, and they're just
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: trying to do the right thing, right. They really don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: understand that these people have warrants felony warrants for child
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: and endangerment, child trafficking, child assault, child rape, all sorts
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: of things right that they're going after, you know, drug
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: dealers and whatnot. The one dad who abandoned his kid.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: So what do they do. They turn on the ice
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: guy and say the ice guy tried to use the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: kid as bait. No, how about you left your kid
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: outside and we're trying to arrest you and you ran
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: inside and through the back door. But all that being said,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: bad Bunny is tapping in here to the crowd that
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: he's in. He's he's a performer, he's an artist. He's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: playing to the crowd. If I were on stage at
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: sea Pack, I know what I gotta say. I've been
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: on stage at Seapack before. Right, you make sure you
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: give the crowd something that is gonna that is gonna
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: get everybody excited. Somebody's gonna get everything enthused. Things that
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: are on brand for me. So he's doing things that
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: are on brand for him. I get it. Our brands
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: are somewhat diametrically opposed, and that only on that front.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: On many other areas, when it comes to a good party,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to some good music, I think we're quite aligned right
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: when it comes to rhythms and things like that. Not
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: necessarily some of the crazy stuff he's talked about are
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: making out with dudes on the MTV Awards and stuff
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: like that. That's kind of crazy, not for me. But
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: my point is what he's about to say I think
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: every American can stand behind. And it's the majority of
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: his speech that I didn't hear all over Twitter.
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: say to the people I know, is tough to not
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: to hate on these days, and I was thinking, sometimes
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: we get contaminaos. I don't have to say that in English.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Contaminated.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: The hate get more powerful. With more hate. The only
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: thing that is more powerful than.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Hate is love.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: So please, we need to be different. If we fight,
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: we have to do it. We love if yeah, we
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: don't hate them. We love our people, we love our family,
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: and that's the way to do it with love. Don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: forget that. Please, thank you, thank you God, and thank
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: you to the Academy.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So let me tell you. I mean, like I said,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: that sounds like a message you would have heard from
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: christ a message you would have heard from Charlie Kirk,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a message you hear from me on a regular basis. Right,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: we can't hate the other side. That's the kind of
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: messaging I'm into. He just said, Right, we're in a
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: time right now where it's difficult not to hate. That's wild,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: but it was so accurate for a guy who's second
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: language is English. I gotta tell you he nailed it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: The eloquence of that. It is a time where hate
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: is difficult to avoid because we're almost being programmed to hate.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: This is why we have to double down. We have
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we don't jump on that. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: hate so and so bandwagon. This is why I criticize
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the left and I will never become the left. This
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: is why people always come at me like, oh, you're
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: soft on this, you're soft on that. No, no, no, it's
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: not that I'm soft on these issues. It's that I
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: choose to not be hateful on them. And we have
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: to have I believe we have to have this extinction.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: If we don't make a distinction here between us and
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: the left, and that distinction being love, and if I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: go a step further, God Christ Almighty, if that is
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: not the difference, then what are we doing? In my opinion? Right,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: maybe you don't share my beliefs, and that's okay. I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: not going to cut you off or tell you not
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: to listen to the show. I'm just saying that there
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: has to be a distinction because the only way. And again,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: you know, I love Charlie Kirk and I think his
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: his saying when the talking stop stops is when the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Civil War starts. Right, fighting starts when the talking stops.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: This is exactly what bad Bunny was talking about. Right,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: whether you agree or not, you should, right, you really should.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think anybody should take a position that's against that. Now,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the other artists tonight didn't have a similar message of love.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: We're all Americans, right, We're not savages, We're Americans. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: said that that's true. The other artists tonight, I think
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: took a different or last night, they took a different
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: approach they were talking about. I's that this is an
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: approach and I think is unhealthy. Right, It doesn't lead
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: to anything good. This is kind of like the debate
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: style I like to call the New York City debate style. Right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: People will list a few things each time, more angry
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: in their list and end it with F out of here. Right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: you can talk to me about Donald Trump. You can
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: talk to me a guy who lies on his taxes,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: who's got four wives, a guy who is a felon
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: thirty four counts, convicted felon in the White House. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: guy's a convicted sexual abuser by some judge. F out
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: of here. They think this is a baiting style, right,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: and they'll do it every time. They have no intention
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: of having a discussion. There is zero love involved in this.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: All they intend to do is try to ridicule you,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: to one up you. It's a technique of gamesmanship. But
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: it's not about dialogue. It's not about intellect. It's not
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: about delving into the issues where we disagree and exploring
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: areas where we may find common ground or not. They
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: don't want common ground. They are looking to excise you. Right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: They see you as a cancer and they want to
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: cut you out. Now, if you're listening, you're like, well, rich,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I see the left as a cancer. Well, then hey,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I hopefully can be your antidote. Call me chemo. I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: don't think we should see the left as a cancer.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I think the effects of the left are cancerous. When
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: they enact what they enact, it is hurtful to the body. Politics,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: but them as people, they're people. There are brethren, right,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: and we have to treat them as such. Now, I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: understand some people are a little bit the word I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: gonna use in Spanish ohlioso. Right, they're hateable. These hatable
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: or hateful people are difficult to deal with. I totally
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: get that. But this is the task, right, This is
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: what makes us superior, This is what makes us better,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: this is what makes us win. The argument is that
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: we're committed to something that's better. That's right, that's good.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I wanted to discuss that little bit of
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: bad money. Now, there's a few others, right, there's a
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: few others. Because another very popular one in recent years.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I couldn't name a single song of hers that I
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: like off the top of my head, but I'm sure
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: I've heard plenty of her songs. Her name Billie Eilish,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: right like Eilish, within, like Irish with an L. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: said that wrong, Billie Eilish, and she and she may
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: be popular for some of you because maybe you don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: listen to her, but maybe you have children or her grandchildren,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: or you know a niece or a nephew or somebody
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: who listens.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I know, I don't think I listened to Billie Eilish.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: She's not on my playlist, but I can tell you
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that she went off on a tangent. She had a
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: lot to say, as did another artist named Jelly Roll.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get into that, as well as did
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Brandon Lake. And there's a lot of people getting Grammys here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Billie Eilish, right stand by, Here we go.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: No one is illegal on stolen Land. And yeah, it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: just really hard to know what to say and what
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: to do right now. And I feel really fool in
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: this room, and I feel like we just need to
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: keep fighting and speaking up and protest and our voices
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: really do matter, and the people matter, and let's say sorry.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: She said f ice, f Ice got bleeped out. F
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Ice is all I could say. It was how she
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: ended that. Listen, this is Billie Eilish again. Now she's
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: taken some heat now because a Native American tribe that
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: owns land under her La mansion. As a message for
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: her right, the Native American tribe said that celebrities should
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: explicitly reference the tribes if they want to use them
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: when they're virtue signaling the tongue, but tribe confirmed the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Bad Guys singer that's her song, Bad Guy, her three
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: million dollar home does sit on ancestral land, after the
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: twenty four year old used her Grammy's Success Take two
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: her Grammy's Acceptance speech to rail against ice and insists
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: that no one is illegal on stolen land. The indigenous
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the First Angelinos,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: said they appreciate Eilish's sentiment, but noted that this performer
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: hasn't contacted them directly ever, and insisted that next time
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: she explicitly referenced them by name. Eilish has not contacted
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: our tribe directly regarding her property. We do value the
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: of this country. A Tongva spokesman told The Daily Mail,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: it is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands the
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Greater Los Angeles basin remains Gabrielino Tongva territory. Eilish was
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: widely mocked for her comments on Sunday as she yelled
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: f ice from the stage while denouncing the United States
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: as a stolen land. Ain't that something? Oh wait, and
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: there's a little more here. Horn DeSantis, the governor of Florida, said,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: O g the stolen land nonsense again. Maybe she should
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: step up and forfeit her southern California mansions to supposedly
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: on stolen land. Let's see Senator Mike Lee chiming in
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: from Utah saying, any white person who does a public
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: stolen land acknowledgment should immediately give his or her stolen
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: land back to the Native Americans. Otherwise they don't mean it. Also,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they don't mean it. I think you're right, Senatorly,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I think you're spot on there. And that was Billie Eilish.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Now there's a lot more I want to get into.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: There's the comments from jelly Roll. Now, jelly Roll is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a country singer, great voice, him and another guy named
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Teddy Swims. These guys have great voices, really just big.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know word I want to use, but strong voices.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: And I don't have jelly Roll in my playlist either.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big country fan, but when it comes
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: on like every I don't know, let's say every thirtieth
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: song can be a country song, and I will enjoy it,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: but more more than that, and I can't. For whatever reason,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: I just can't get into country. It's just too uh
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: doesn't have enough beats per minuted for my ADHD. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: need a little bit of a faster pace. But jelly
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Roll fantastic job with his speech. I think we have
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it fluqueued up. Do we have it? Yes?
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: No?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe, so we let her rip.
• 21:20
  Speaker 9: I know they're gonna try to kick me off here,
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: so just let me try to get this out. First
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: of all, Jesus, I hear you, and I'm listening. Lord,
• 21:26
  Speaker 9: I am listening Lord. Second of all, I want to
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: affect my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life.
• 21:32
  Speaker 9: Without you, I'd ended up dead or in jail. I'd
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: have killed myself if it wasn't for you and Jesus,
• 21:36
  Speaker 9: I thank you for that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Before he goes on, I just want to say he
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: did thank Jesus first, and I gotta give him a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: lot of credit for that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Thank you for my label Broken Bow. It's a country.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: Radio, baby.
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: What's up y'all?
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Ah Republic, John and Neely, we did it. Baby.
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: There was a time in my life y'all that I
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: was I was broken. That's why I wrote this album.
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: I didn't think I had a chance, y'all. There was
• 21:59
  Speaker 9: days that I thought the darkest things. I was a
• 22:01
  Speaker 9: horrible human. There was a moment in my life that
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: all I had was a Bible this big in a
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: radio the same size, and a six by eight foot seal.
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: And I believe that those two things could change my life.
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: I believe that music had the power to change my life,
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: and God had the power to change my life. And
• 22:15
  Speaker 12: I want to tell y'all right now, Jesus is for everybody.
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is
• 22:22
  Speaker 12: not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus and
• 22:25
  Speaker 12: anybody could have a.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Relationship with him. I love you Lord.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Well how about that mincing no words again, Jelly Roll
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: straight up preaching at the Grammy Awards. I gotta tell you,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: if that would have happened five years ago, it would
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: be making bigger headlines than it did today, because it
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: was almost taboo to talk about Jesus back then. But
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: now you've got artists all over the place, right Justin Bieber,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Jelly Roll, Nicki, Minaj, Daddy, Yankee. I mean, just everywhere
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: you look there's a different artist talking about g Jesus saying,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm embracing my faith, I'm doing my thing
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Jesus's Lord. And I've got to say I'm seeing more
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: of that now than I ever did. I remember years
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: ago my daughter telling me about Justin Bieber and I'd
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: never heard of him, and she said, oh my gosh,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: he's the biggest thing on YouTube, and I was like, well,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: it doesn't take much to be big on YouTube. Again,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: this was two thousand and six. I remember it like
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: yesterday she was five years old, and today, Yeah, it
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: takes a whole lot to be big on YouTube. You know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: back then it wasn't the same way and twenty years ago.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I remember it like yesterday, and I remember watching her
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: grow up, listening to Bieber and then Bieber marrying Hayley,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Steve Baldwin's daughter, and Steve Baldwin was a friend, and
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: he'd invited me to a film premiere that they were
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: having a Union Square in Manhattan for a film he
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: was in called I'm in Love with a Church Girl
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: starring Adrian by Loan. The rapper Cha Rul, Stephen Baldwin,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and Israel Houghten was involved in the film as well.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: And I remember going to that and my daughter met
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Stephen Baldwin and she was like, oh my god, that's
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: like justin Bieber's girlfriend's dad. You know, they weren't married yet,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: and she thought that was so cool to meet him.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: But I say all of that to say back then
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: it was a big deal.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Now, I guess some of us are taking for granted
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: how the gospel is more acceptable, right, It's not as
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: taboo as it was during those years. Some of the performances,
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: even at the Grammys were a lot darker, right, A
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: lot of imagery that was ritualistic, right, that type of thing,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: and just more a darker imagery and some of the performances,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: whereas now not always the case. Sometimes they're fresh, right,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: but they're not necessarily like cult like, right, So, which
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: brings me to a tweet from Nicki Minaj. Now, Nicki Minaj,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: this is a very interesting thing because Nicki Minaj talks
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: about this tweet. Let me see if I can pull
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: it up real quick. All right, here we go Nicki
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Minaj's tweet on here we Go. I did a podcast
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: over the weekend. It was our friend Nick Giordano, the
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: PAS Report, and he asked me, do I believe that
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: all of Hollywood is eating babies? And I said, no,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I don't believe all of Hollywood is eating babies, but
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I want to make sure nobody takes my words out
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of context. I do believe some of Hollywood might be
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: right or has an interest in it, and if not
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: necessarily eating the babies, but definitely in sacrifice and rituals.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I believe there's an element just like there isn't the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: gang life that we've talked about on this program, like
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: MS thirteen has ties to Satanism, Right, That's not something
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I made up. That's something that's been reported in the
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: news the same thing here right. Nicki Minaj put out
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: a tweet with respect to the Grammys, saying this, your
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: favorite artist has been practicing rituals and a Satanic cult
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: where they take babies from other countries and mutilate and
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: kill them as a form of blood sacrifice to their god.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: You see, when your master is Satan, you most you
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: must constantly shed blood. However, the jig is up. It's
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: got a picture of Chucky from the movie Child's Play
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: drinking a martini making a smug, snarky face, and it's
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: got fifty two thousand retweets, two hundred and sixty two
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: thousand likes, nineteen thousand saves, fourteen thousand comments. And let
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: me just see what these comments say, just to give
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: you an idea. If I can see some here we
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: go gunk thir Eagelman says, keep exposing them. Jamless says
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Charlie kirk New, Let's see. Jason James says something about
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: the Epstein list. Bridget Fertig says Nicki Minaj is the
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: biggest icon in music. And then she puts a video
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: from the actor who played Jesus, Jim cavizl Bo Louden says,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: God bless you, Nikky. We all need to pray, pray,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: pray for you and your safety. You're going up against
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: pure evil. I have your back, and so does America.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I'm grateful for you, aymen. I echo that as well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: and a lot of support here look at us, Alex Jones.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: He says, I want to thank you for your courage
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: and extend an invitation to you to join me on
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: my broadcast. Ps. I loved your comment about Don Lemon
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: don Ley Moon right. We played that in the last episode,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: what she said about Don Lemon and Gizmo memes says
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: the Queen is cooking. Now listen, I understand the Overton window.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: I understand how to shoot for the moon and if
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: you miss her amongst the stars and a lot of times,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: that's what these things are. But that doesn't mean that
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: blood sacrifices are fake, that Satanism isn't real, and that
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: there are not people in Hollywood who are into this stuff.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: They're sure are is it every last person? Is it
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Tom Hanks? Is it hard Einstein?
• 28:00
  Speaker 10: Is it Jay Z?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Is it Beyonce? Is it all of them? I don't know.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: I can't say I've ever seen any evidence to make
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: any certain statement that it is. But I can say
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it's happening. Why because bad things happen
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: all over the place.
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: The fact that we now talk about a guy that
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: trafficked underage girls as young as twelve and fourteen, Jeffrey Epstein,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: and we just refer to it simply as the Epstein List,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: And the most egregious thing about it is that Trump
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: was somehow affiliated with the guy because he rented an
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: apartment in mar A Lago or owned a condo there.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: We're lost, right, We're lost as a society, We're lost
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: as a people. It's wild to think that, oh my goodness,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: because l. Trompito knew Jeffrey Epstein, that somehow we can
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: turn a blind eye to the fact that they're trafficking
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: young girls, drugging young girls, forcing young girls to have
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: sex for money. I mean, this is just crazy. It's
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: not just prostitution. This is human slavery. And it's become
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: a part of our daily lexicon. The Epstein Files. That's
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: the new name for things. And the first people to
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: make a euphemism for it and kind of make it diminutive,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: if you will, were the people that name this Pizzagate
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: right back when they said, oh, it's pizzagate and it's
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: all about the Pizzas, and I remember that, and I
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: remember reading the WikiLeaks emails and all of that, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: some people freaking out about it and others not giving
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: a damn. I'm just saying, look, just because something sounds
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: crazy doesn't mean that it's not happening, and it also
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't guarantee that it is. We have to be judicious,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: we have to take time, we have to read, we
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: have to trust our gut, we have to trust our God.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: We have to know the law, or at least you
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: don't have an understanding of the law. You got to
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: inform yourselves. Watch good stuff, listen to good stuff, know
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: some good stuff, talk to good people, and challenge your
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: own ideas. Just because you believe something doesn't mean if
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: you hear ten other people say the same thing, that
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: that's a fact. That's not how confirmation works. Confirming something
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: is really, you know, finding something substant about it, some
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: actual evidence. And again, I know, not everybody's an investigator,
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: and nobody really cares. People are trying to pay their
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: bills and raise their kids. I get that, but I'm
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: just saying I have had so many encounters of people
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: who will send me a video is posted on Twitter
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: or bit shoot or some other video place. It's a
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: video of somebody saying, I told you the twenty twenty
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: election was stolen. They got all the evidence. This is
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: a military operation, just just a plan, and they'll send
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: this to me and go, see told you told me what?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: That's some moron named Jack Maureen. And when you look
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: at the username, it's like ABC one two three sixty
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: nine seventy three forty two American flag emoji. Right that
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: that is somehow a definitive authoritative source on this topic
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: because they made a video some obscure person I've never
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: seen in my life. Come on. But for them, this
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: this hits the innermost part of their soul because it's
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: what they wanted to hear. I don't care if you
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: tell me what I want to hear. What I want
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: to hear is the truth. What I want to hear
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: is the facts. I don't need to hear what I
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: thought I knew to then feel good about myself, to
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: think that I'm not crazy. No, I need to know
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: what's going on, what's really happening. And again that doesn't
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: mean that people are I'm just saying. You listen to everything,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: you take it all in. But just because you see
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: ten obscure Twitter accounts saying the same thing doesn't mean
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: that's actually happening. To me, that's more than anything. That's
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: if they add in some propaganda, like things like saying,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: if you're not mad after hearing this, you should be
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: ashamed of yourself if you're not this right, if any
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: type of emotional language like that, it's likely propaganda. Regular
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: people don't talk like that, you know, or when they
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: give you false equivalencies, right, we either do this or
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: this happens. Right, you tell me. In life, when things
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: are that cut and dry, not always right, not always
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: many times, it's not always. If you do this, that happens. Now,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: if you do this, this could happen. That could happen,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: This could happen. This might have happened, But then that happened,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Then so and so happened. You never know. Life is
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: as neatly packed as some of these tweets would suggest.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I digress. I'm still on the Grammys, folks,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: before we hit the brake, and with respect to the Grammys,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Jelly Roll did an amazing job. Nicky, you know, gave
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: this tweet and there's a guy out there. His name
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: is Brandon Lake. And I'll finish with this one before
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: we move on to the Gaza strip and the government
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: shut down as well. The artist named Brandon Lake, he's
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: somebody that is on my playlist typically on Sunday morning
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: when I get into my church vibe and he he
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: won a Grammy Award for a song that he did
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I believe with Jelly Roll if I'm not mistaken, And
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: he also gave a really good speech. And I've got
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: it right here. I think I think we've got it here.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: And if we do, let's let the people hear it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Call that graduation.
• 32:47
  Speaker 13: Thank you, Thank you, oh Man, Wow, thank you Jesus.
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna thank my wife who's holding down the fort
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: back home with all my babies, crazy babies. Thank you
• 33:01
  Speaker 13: the Academy for honoring this category. Thank you Provident, my label,
• 33:05
  Speaker 13: Bright Group. Thank you Pastor Stephen Ferdick, Benjamin William Hastings,
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: Chris Brown, Mike and Nichols for producing this song. And
• 33:13
  Speaker 13: all my local Charleston, South Carolina guys who played on
• 33:16
  Speaker 13: La Roderick Simmons shout out to him. I want to say,
• 33:19
  Speaker 13: obviously a huge thank you to Jelly for taking a
• 33:22
  Speaker 13: chance on this song, taking a chance on me. He
• 33:24
  Speaker 13: just took me everywhere he was performing and said, let's
• 33:26
  Speaker 13: do this song together. He took this song places that
• 33:28
  Speaker 13: I couldn't have by myself. And I've gotten countless messages
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: of how this song has literally saved people's lives and
• 33:35
  Speaker 13: pointed them to Jesus. If it wasn't for Jesus, I
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: don't know where I would be, y'all, y'all.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: This please wrap it up.
• 33:43
  Speaker 13: Most important thing I could say is this world is
• 33:46
  Speaker 13: Craig Cray right now. But I was reminded of the
• 33:49
  Speaker 13: scripture this morning, John sixteen thirty three. I have told
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: you these things so that in me you may have peace.
• 33:55
  Speaker 13: In this world you will have trouble. But take heart,
• 33:59
  Speaker 13: I have overcome the world. He's overcome, so that means
• 34:02
  Speaker 13: we can too.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Through Christ. Love you, Thank you so much.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: That's Brandon Lake. Brandon Lake again winning the Grammy for
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Best Country Performance with a Jelly Roll song they did
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: together called the Hallelujah?
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Is it hard fought? Hallelujah? Let me tell you really
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: good track. I was listening to it earlier today and
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: happy for them. So listen. I say all of this
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: stuff to say, I think we're winning a lot more
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: than we're losing. We got bad Bunny giving a message
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: that although he left Jesus for the end and put
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: him on the back burner, I liked everything else he
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: had to say. You heard what he had to say.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: If you disagree, you let me know. Eight seven seven
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: valids one, eight seven seven Valds one. Keep it locked
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: This is America, this is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and he's breaking it down. Oh he's so has some
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: what's his name, Rich Valdez?
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 35:24
  Speaker 14: I mean?
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: He goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez. Valdes with an ask
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: at Rich Valdez on all of the social media, keeping
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: you company tonight, Happy to be here with you, and
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I want to jump into this stuff that's going on
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: in Gaza right the Gaza strip. You've got the what
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: is what do we call it? I guess the border?
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Forgive me. The border is now opened. They've opened the
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: border for you know, back and forth transportation and whatnot.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: In Gaza, between Gaza and Egypt. This is big. Hasn't
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: happened in a couple of years. This is all the
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: results of the ceasefire that people are not giving President
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Trump any credit for. Right. I often say, you don't
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: hear people saying free Palestine anymore because Trump freed Palestine.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Listen to this report ABC News.
• 36:14
  Speaker 15: It is really official, say the Rafa crossing is now
• 36:16
  Speaker 15: open to limited pedestrian traffic. The passage between Gaza and
• 36:20
  Speaker 15: Egypt has been mostly closed to Palestinians since October seventh,
• 36:23
  Speaker 15: twenty twenty three. Now it's reopening is the first step
• 36:27
  Speaker 15: in the second phase of President Trump's Gaza peace plan.
• 36:30
  Speaker 15: The Israeli military says it'll approve the Palestinians entering or
• 36:34
  Speaker 15: leaving Gaza according to the terms of the plan, but
• 36:36
  Speaker 15: it's not clear how many will be allowed to pass.
• 36:39
  Speaker 15: And now the Hamasran Gaza Health Ministry says it's already
• 36:42
  Speaker 15: submitted a list of fifty patients to leave the strip
• 36:45
  Speaker 15: through that crossing.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Now, of course, some are saying this is not very
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: significant because it's a very limited back and forth transit
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: that's going on. But finally the moment's here, right, It's
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: finally happened. The borders reopened. It's the first phase of
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: President Trump's peace deal coming to close. The opening will
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: allow for about twenty thousand sick and wounded Palestinians to
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: begin leaving the Gaza strip for treatment, and this is
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: according to local health officials and the World Health Organization.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Despite the uncertainties, traffic through the border has begun, as
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: the first phase of Trump's twenty point piece plan concludes.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: Trying to give you the relevant points here now. The
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: border was meant to reopen during the hostage exchanges in
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: the fall, but Israel refused to seed full control until
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: every single captive was freed, which didn't happen until last
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: week when the body of ran Villi was located. The
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: crossing will now be operated by supervisors from the European
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Union and by local Palestinian staff, with Jewish state officials
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: expected to conduct remote security checks. The traffic is also
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: expected to be slow, with only about fifty patients allowed
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: to leave each day and another fifty allowed to return,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: according to initial Israeli reports. The World Health Organization is
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: now being tasked with transferring patients from the Hamas controlled
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Gaza past the yellow line border controlled by the Israel
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Defense Forces. Now, more than thirty thousand Gazans who are
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: outside the territory or who fled during the war have
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: already registered with the Palestinian embassy in Cairo to be
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: allowed to return to the Gaza Strip. Now with the
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: border crossing reopened, Trump's peace plan is officially in its
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: second phase, which is the Board of Peace, and they
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: will take governance of Gaza until a group of Palestinian
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: technocrats can be tapped to actually rule this enclave. That's
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: pretty much the report. Otherwise, it remains to be seen
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: how the Board of Peace is going to establish Gaza
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: once the Trump Plan really kicks off. Hamas has also
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: been unwilling to demilitarize as part of the second phase.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: So with the developments of the terror group refusing to
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: do that, they may not be able to move forward
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: if there's no disarmament. So Hamas is saying, hey, look,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: rather than disarm, how about we include ten thousand of
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: our own police officers into the first government and see
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: what happens. This has been opposed by Israel. Israel's warning
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: that if Hamas does not agree to give up its weapons,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: the ceasefire would end in Israel will return to war.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: So let's hope that doesn't happen. So far, it's been
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: so good. I think any day where we don't hear
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: about a bunch of dead Palestinian babies and a bunch
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: of dead Jews, that's a good day. Right, people alive
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: sounds good to me. So that's that. I'll be right back.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: This is America, This is America.
• 40:08
  Speaker 16: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
• 40:11
  Speaker 16: to speak with Rich Valdez.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, very good. The honor is all yours.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Now here's Rich Valdez.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: All right, and he goes, welcome back. And CNN's Harry
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Entton had a clip that he played about government ID.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get into that a little bit. I
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: also want to talk about this limited government shutdown because
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: why well, because government shutdown last time it was such
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: a big deal. This time, we're not hearing anything about
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: a government shutdown, right. I mean, I think we heard
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit last week that we're in a partial
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: government shutdown, but nobody seems to care. I wonder what's
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: up with that. Well, here's the deal, President Trump is
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: scheduled to sign a bill as soon as it's put
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: on his desk as early as tomorrow Tuesday, to end
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: this partial government shutdown. But that's where we are right now.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: And I wonder how come the fake news media isn't
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: trying to scare everybody like they did last time, saying, hey,
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: look we're in a government shutdown, right That seems to
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: not be the case and not be as important as
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: it was last time.
• 41:19
  Speaker 10: Hmmmm.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: Funny haha, No, funny, hmmm. Anyway, I want you to
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: hear this clip from Harry Enton on CNN. Now, this
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: is interesting because we're talking about the government here. This
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: is about government issued IDs, and how many people over
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: the last six or seven eight years, from twenty eighteen
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: and beyond actually agree with the rap Queen Nikki Minaj
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: that we should have voter ID. Listen to this CNN.
• 41:50
  Speaker 17: So voter ID, just so people understand, is the idea
• 41:53
  Speaker 17: that someone shows a photo ID when they go to vote,
• 41:56
  Speaker 17: when they go to cast their actual battle Because there's
• 41:58
  Speaker 17: a separate discussion right now about needing a passport or
• 42:01
  Speaker 17: a bergertificate to register to vote, but the polling is
• 42:04
  Speaker 17: all on voter ID.
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: Showing an ID to vote.
• 42:07
  Speaker 16: Showing a photo ID to vote, And the American people
• 42:10
  Speaker 16: are with Nicki Minaj, because what are we talking about here?
• 42:13
  Speaker 16: So take a look here, favorite voter idea to vote. Look,
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: I got all this polling on the screen, going back
• 42:17
  Speaker 16: since twenty eighteen. You'll notice on all of it, it's
• 42:20
  Speaker 16: all north of seventy five percent, seventy six percent, seventy
• 42:24
  Speaker 16: six percent, seventy six percent, eighty one percent, and then
• 42:27
  Speaker 16: eighty three percent in the last year.
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: Of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj.
• 42:31
  Speaker 16: They favor photo ID to be able to vote.
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: What about by party? What's the party berg?
• 42:36
  Speaker 16: Yeah, normally you might expect, hey, there'd be a big
• 42:39
  Speaker 16: divide by party where Republicans really forward in, Democrats really
• 42:42
  Speaker 16: against it, But not really here.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: I mean, just take a look here, favorite photo idea vote.
• 42:46
  Speaker 16: You got ninety five percent of Republicans, pretty much all
• 42:49
  Speaker 16: of them, but even seventy one percent of Democrats favorite
• 42:53
  Speaker 16: photo ID to vote. So again Nicki Minaj posting that
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: on X And what you see is is that the
• 42:58
  Speaker 16: American people, actually, it's not really all that controversial.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: The American people are with Nicki Minaj.
• 43:04
  Speaker 16: Whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: who are talking about seven to ten.
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj.
• 43:10
  Speaker 16: That you, in fact should show a voter photo ID
• 43:13
  Speaker 16: to vote.
• 43:13
  Speaker 10: What's the racial breakdown? Okay, what's the racial breakdown on
• 43:16
  Speaker 10: this right?
• 43:17
  Speaker 16: Because I think a lot of people make the argument
• 43:19
  Speaker 16: that people of color, non white Americans have a harder
• 43:21
  Speaker 16: time procuring a photo ID to vote. But even here,
• 43:24
  Speaker 16: take a look here, favorite photo ID to vote. Eighty
• 43:27
  Speaker 16: five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent of Latino,
• 43:30
  Speaker 16: seventy six percent.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: Of Black Americans favorite.
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: So the bottom line is this voter ID is not
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is
• 43:39
  Speaker 16: not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party,
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority
• 43:45
  Speaker 16: of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you
• 43:48
  Speaker 16: should have a photo ID to be able to vote.
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: So something of a nontroversy that is very good.
• 43:54
  Speaker 16: The alliteration of mister John Berman that Harvard education paying
• 43:57
  Speaker 16: off once again, Harold, and.
• 43:58
  Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you much.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: All Right, there you have a Berman and Harry Enton,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: chief data analyst at CNN, making it clear that by
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: race and by the numbers twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, straight through twenty twenty five, nobody is well,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: I shouldn't say nobody, but north of seventy five percent
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: each and every one of those years seventy six, seventy six,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: seventy six, all the way up to eighty to yeah,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: eighty two percent in twenty twenty five, So big numbers.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: Everybody wants voter ID. Then why is it that the
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Democrats are so adamant about it? Well, of course Democrats
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: say that they're adamant about this because it's racist. Elizabeth
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Warren said, you know, it's difficult for black people to
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: get IDs. Kamala Harris at black people don't know what
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: a fax machine is, right, I mean, really just crazy
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: stuff that you hear come from people. When you've got
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: doctor Ben Carson, for example, who I've interviewed before. The
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: guy has a movie made about him with Cuba getting Junior.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: He is literally a brain surgeon, did the first surgery
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: separating brain conjoined twins, right, twins that are joined at
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the head. Just wild to think that he's done these
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: types of surgery. He's the first one to ever do
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: it a black man by all means indicating to me
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: that not only can black people do whatever white people
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: can do, but perhaps more right based on what we're seeing,
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: the ingenuity in medical science, seeing the prowess in an
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: athleticism in professional sports, and yet somehow they want to
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: suggest that somehow black people may not be able to
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: get an ID to vote. I would be so mad
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: and offended if I was if I identified as black right,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: because it's perto Rican's I guess we're you know, some
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: good percentage of black. If you look at me, you
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: could see the black right. I've got a pretty wide nose.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I've got a larger lips. You know, my dad was
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: darker skin, more Tino darker skin, But no question. You know,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Puerto Ricans are a mix of Spaniards and black and
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Tino blood. That's the mix in Puerto Rico. So I
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: get it. But man, I would be beside myself if
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I were, you know, a black American, truly I would be.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: I'm offended as it is. So just imagine if you know,
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: if Elizabeth Warren and I guess if I were a
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: black Democrat. Right is the best way to put it,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: because they seem to think that they just can't do anything.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I just imagine somebody thinking you're totally incapable. I guess
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: that's like some kids, right. I know my kids have
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: gone through phases like that where they thought, you know anything.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I tell them like, oh, remember this, and I'm like, hey,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not stupid. I wasn't born yesterday.
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, geez, take it easy. I just don't
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: want you to get sick or I don't want you
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: to get into a car accidenter. I just want you
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: to be okay, and I'm just caring for you. But
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: sometimes people take offense to that type of care. Here
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: it's the exact opposite. It's like, no, no, we don't think
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: you could care for yourself at all. Wild Now, moving
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: to New York a little bit, I want to talk
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: about this may Or Mom Donnie. He has now appointed
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: somebody who's very intimately aware of the jail system to
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: be his commissioner of the Department of Corrections. This is
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: a pretty wild one. Listen to this.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Stanley will make history in this role as the first
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: ever formerly incarcerated person to serve as commissioners. That achievement
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: is not merely symbolic. It is a testament to the
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: thought and leadership he will bring to every member of
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: correction staff and incarcerated New Yorkers underneath his purview, and
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: as the former first Deputy Commissioner for the DOC and
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the executive vice president of the Fortune Society, that work
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: has long been Stanley's purpose.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: When we provide support, when we center our collective work
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: on hope instead of fear, when we see what is
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: best in all of us, instead of judging people on
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: the worst thing that they've ever done, when we see
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: our commonality as opposed to our difference, we can achieve
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: the unimanageable.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this. It is unimaginable to me
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: to think that we would have a Commissioner of Corrections, right,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: the guy who's in charge of the jails being somebody
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: that was once in jail. But I am going to
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: say this right a caveat. I never imagined that that
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: would happen. But I'm not going to say I think
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: it's a bad idea. Some people might take exception to that. Yep,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I liked Bad Bunny's speech, and I don't think this
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: is a bad idea. Why Because I think as a
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: guy that's been divorced, I can coach a lot of
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: other guys on how to stay married. I think that
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: sometimes going through is how you learn things. And I
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: don't know this guy from anything, right, I really don't know.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: I know he was incarcerated for robbery and he's now
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: going to be the first commissioner of the City of
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: New York Department of Corrections. But I do know that
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: this guy, mister Stanley is he seems like somebody's willing
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: to do the jobs. Or Mamdani is the mayor, he
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: can appoint whom he wants, so we can critique all
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: his people, like Sea A Weaver and the other crazies.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I would imagine this guy's likely just as progressive. Hey,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: let's let him all out. I'm sure he's nuts right,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: just by virtue of his ideology, but not because of
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: the fact that he was in jail. I have some
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: friends that were incarcerated. One of my friends did twelve
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: years in different stints. He's a real estate investor today.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: He owns properties and rents them out. He does really
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: well for himself. Guy's got a Porsche and he's a
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: He's a really good dude. He's got a great attitude
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: about life. He came up really rough in a rough neighborhood,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: and life just was tough for the guy. And it's
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: all I can tell you he did. He was a
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: product of his environment, right, And I didn't have a
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: lot of guidance at home, and lamentably, that's how it
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: goes if you don't have great parents all the time.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: And he had his mom. She died young. His dad
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: also died and wasn't around. It's a recipe for you know,
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: anything to happen. He learned eventually took him. I'm going
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: to call it the long way, right. He took the
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: long route. But I think he's an upstanding member of
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: society today. And I say that to say I think
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: he's a bright guy. He's a crypto investor, he's a
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: real estate investor. He's done well for himself financially because
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: he's had to. He figured if I want to have
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: a good life, and I know I can't get a
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: lot of jobs because of my criminal record, and I've
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: got to figure out how to make myself a job,
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: and he has. So I don't know this guy, Stanley,
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: and I'm pretty sure I'll be back in a couple
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: of weeks saying what a crazy radical lefty he is.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: But I'm not going to say I don't think it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: a bad idea to hire somebody who has rehabilitated their life,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: presuming that they have right. There should be some sort
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: of proof, some sort of evidence like, hey, I've been
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: out of jail for X amount of years and in
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: that time, I worked here, and I did this, and
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: I was able to go to this, to go to that,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: and you know, progress in my field, and you know,
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: just something that shows you, hey, this guy's doing his thing,
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: and you know those things are all warranted by conversations
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: and looking at somebody's personal file and whatnot. But my
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: point is I could have been a lot more critical,
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: and on this one I'm just not. I'm not going
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: to be, not for that reason, but for his crazy
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: let's shut down rikers and let everybody out of jail
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: type of policies. He's an absolute nut job if he
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: thinks that's gonna work, because I think that's a very
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: bad idea. Now, I wanted to circle back to a
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: couple of quick topics, but we're gonna do that straight ahead.
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere this is America.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: This is America.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: All right, on me gooes, he's making podcasting great again.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. That's Chris Libertini, by the way, shout
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: out to Chris Libertini. I want to announcer, and I
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: wanna I want to get into a couple of things.
• 52:15
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: It's a couple of clips I wanted to play earlier
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: that I just I didn't. I didn't play. Had too many,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: too many bullets in my in my magazine here, didn't
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: fire them all. But a couple of things I want
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: to talk about. There was an interesting Grammy clip that
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: I wanted to play, and there was one other one.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Let me see if I can squeeze those in here
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: before we before we wrap, all right, because we still
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: have some time and I love being here with you guys.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Let's see we talked about
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: Mam diney. We did that. Tomorrow we'll talk about Robert
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: Reich in his attack on El Trampito. Oh, this was
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: a good one. To Jason Whitlock on the Grammys. That's
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: a very good one. I enjoyed that. Let me see
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: what else we had here and President Trump on the
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Epstein Files. That was one that I think we could
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: have played. Also we should have played. But let me
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: do this. Jason Whitlock went first, and then and rap,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: we're going to start here with President trumpets he's here right,
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: all right, here we go and Trumpeter on the Epstein Files.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, play it.
• 53:27
  Speaker 10: Files.
• 53:28
  Speaker 11: If you think your critics will be satisfied me, well
• 53:31
  Speaker 11: they should be, because it looked like this guy Wolfe
• 53:34
  Speaker 11: was a writer, was conspiring with Epstein to do harm
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: to me.
• 53:39
  Speaker 14: And I didn't see it myself, but I was told
• 53:41
  Speaker 14: by some very important people that not only does it
• 53:44
  Speaker 14: absolve me, it's the opposite of what people were hoping.
• 53:48
  Speaker 14: You know, the radicleb that Wolfe was a very great
• 53:51
  Speaker 14: writer was conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to hurt me politically
• 53:57
  Speaker 14: or otherwise.
• 53:59
  Speaker 6: And I can't fee a.
• 54:00
  Speaker 10: Loud and clear.
• 54:01
  Speaker 14: So we'll probably suit wolf of it, and maybe the.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: State to state.
• 54:08
  Speaker 10: I guess.
• 54:08
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but we're gonna certainly super what do
• 54:11
  Speaker 6: you mean?
• 54:12
  Speaker 14: I guess so because he was conspiring with wolf to
• 54:16
  Speaker 14: do harm to be politically, that's not.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: A brand, not a friend at all. That's right, And
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: I think that's a very astute point, and that was true,
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: and I mentioned that earlier. This would have been a
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: good time to play that clip, Senor productor. But bottom
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: line is that was President Trump aboard Air Force one.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: If you didn't get that from the sound, These guys
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: were never in his corner. It wasn't like he was
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: going there like, oh here comes out Trumpito again. We
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: can't stand this guy here. He is to rape and
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: pillage the girls with us. It wasn't like that they
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: didn't like him, they didn't get along. He cut Epstein
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: off back in three or something like that. Anyway, I
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: think that was worthy of being played because again, while
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: he was speaking to these reporters on Air Force one,
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: he reiterated that he's been absolved from this stuff and
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: he was told by his team legal people that Wolf
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: and Epstein were conspiring against him. So now he's taking
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: a suing them. Now somebody else, he's taking a suing
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: Trevor Noah. Now why is he thinking of suing Trevor Noah? Well,
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: because Trevor Noah went after him and Nicki Minaj and
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: a bunch of other ones in one of his jokes.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: And again I laughed at the joke, not specifically at
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: the Trump part that wasn't funny per se, but overall
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: I thought the bit was funny. Listen to this legend.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj is not here.
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: She is not here, she is.
• 55:49
  Speaker 9: She is still at the White House with Donald Trump
• 55:52
  Speaker 9: discussing very important issues.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass.
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: I haven't. Everybody's saying it, Nikki. I know they say
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: to you, but it's me.
• 56:01
  Speaker 6: Wo look at it.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Look at it baby.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Jennifer Hudson is.
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: In the house now. He went on to make a
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: joke about how President Trump was on the Epstein Island
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: he needed an island to go to or something like that,
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: and that was where President Trump fired back and said,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: I am gonna sue Trevor Noah. I am gonna sue
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: the whomever, right, the Grammys, whoever's got to sue. And
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: because it's false information, there's never been an accusation of such.
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: And this is where people play fast and loose with
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: the facts, with the truth, trying to make a joke.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: And I get it, there could be some elements that
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: are hyperbolic, but you know, and something like this, Trump's
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: gonna be well within his rights to sue, and I
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: bet you anything, he's gonna be suing whatever it is ABC, right,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: I think that's who puts on the Grammy Awards. ABC here,
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: maybe CBS, I could be getting. They're confused, and of
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: course Trevor Noah and I wouldn't be surprised if he
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: wins or gets a settlement because they do this to
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: him pretty often, and he knows his rights. Even though
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: he's president and he is a public figure, he's still
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: able to win some of these things, which I think
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: is phenomenal. So God speak to him and his legal team.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: And the final clip I want to play for you
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: guys is one again reaction from the Grammys. Jason Whitlock
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: over at OutKick dot Com. It's a division of Fox.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: He's always got something good to say, and I've got
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: a really good clip of him. Let's see where is that.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: Let's get that one cued up of Jason Whitlock with
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: Harvey Levin on TMZ. Go ahead, Oh, I see, we
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: don't have time, okay, So this is where I tell
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: you that we will get into that Jason Whitlock clip
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: about Harvey Levin with Harvey Levin about the Grammys and
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: Satanism and all sorts of stuff and bad bunny manyana.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: But I do want to say that the only thing
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: do nothing. You're good people, so do something. Number one.
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: Number two, you got to stand for something, because if
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. That's Lord
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Acton and many others that have said that quote. And
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: it's as true today as it was back then. And
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I say to you Asta abrosima, take care, good night,
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: and God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez, and this
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: is America.
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: This is America.
• 1:00:01
