1:01
Speaker 3: to get into today. Obviously, yesterday was Easter. Today's Easter. Monday.
1:05
Speaker 3: Yesterday was Resurrection Sunday. I want to get into a
1:08
Speaker 3: bunch of that stuff toward the end of the show
1:10
Speaker 3: what that was like over the weekend. But interestingly, over
1:13
Speaker 3: the weekend, President Trump was presumed to be Mia. Now,
1:18
Speaker 3: you know, the fake news media, like he says, oh,
1:20
Speaker 3: the fake news, look of the fake news all the
1:22
Speaker 3: way in the back, because he puts his hand over
1:24
Speaker 3: his eyebrow. He isn't usually wrong on this stuff, right,
1:30
Speaker 3: The fake news was making all sorts of cases of
1:34
Speaker 3: why he is missing in action? Trump canceling a trip
1:37
Speaker 3: tomorrow Lago, which is unlike him, right. Well, obviously this
1:41
Speaker 3: was because of the breaking news we heard on Friday
1:43
Speaker 3: where a pilot was retrieved but a Weapons Service officer,
1:52
Speaker 3: the other member of the flight crew on the down
1:55
Speaker 3: to F fifteen that went down on Good Friday. Well
1:58
Speaker 3: guess what that person was Mia, and they needed to
2:02
Speaker 3: find him, and a massive search and rescue operation went
2:07
Speaker 3: into you know, was underway. And this was a very
2:11
Speaker 3: very big deal, right, very very very big deal. I
2:14
Speaker 3: thought that was quite miraculous. Both Secretary Henk Seth and
2:21
Speaker 3: as well as I'm forgetting his name, John Ratcliffe, the
2:24
Speaker 3: CIA director, both of them definitely chiming in on that
2:29
Speaker 3: and the press conference that the President hosted earlier today,
2:33
Speaker 3: and I got a clip on that. Listen to this.
2:35
Speaker 2: It's a great honor to be with you.
2:37
Speaker 6: And happy Easter. We had a great easter. This is
2:41
Speaker 6: one of our better easters. I think in a lot
2:43
Speaker 6: of different ways. I can say militarily, it's been one
2:47
Speaker 6: of the best.
2:49
Speaker 3: That is President Trump again at his press conference earlier
2:52
Speaker 3: today and emphasizing the importance of how well things worked
2:57
Speaker 3: out over.
2:58
Speaker 2: The You don't come out like we came out Easter break.
3:00
Speaker 2: God was watching us. Well, it was the Easter.
3:05
Speaker 6: We were in the Easter territory, I guess, but God
3:09
Speaker 6: was watching this.
3:09
Speaker 2: Amazing. You don't come out like we came out.
3:12
Speaker 3: God was definitely watching the President and all of the
3:17
Speaker 3: folks that were mia. Apparently it was two people instead
3:20
Speaker 3: of one person. Wait till you hear about this.
3:24
Speaker 7: This is a Fox News alert on Bridge Judson Live
3:26
Speaker 7: in New York. The missing crew member from the F
3:29
Speaker 7: fifteen to E fighter jets shot down over Iranian Territory Friday,
3:33
Speaker 7: has been rescued after an hour's long search. There was
3:36
Speaker 7: reportedly a heavy firefight before the crew members were taken
3:40
Speaker 7: safely out of Iranian territory for now, and more on this,
3:44
Speaker 7: we go to our chief National Security correspondent, Jennifer Griffin
3:47
Speaker 7: on the phone. Who's confirmed and reporting on the details
3:50
Speaker 7: of all of this.
3:51
Speaker 2: Jennifer rich that's right.
3:54
Speaker 8: I can confirm that the second crew member of the
3:56
Speaker 8: down to S fifteen E fighter jet has been rested.
4:00
Speaker 8: You to end that he and the members of the
4:03
Speaker 8: rescue team that extracted him from behind enemy lines in
4:06
Speaker 8: Iran are all safely out of Iran. That is according
4:10
Speaker 8: to two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources
4:13
Speaker 8: in the region.
4:14
Speaker 3: Well wait, there's more. We had a little bit more
4:17
Speaker 3: detail on this from Trey yinst listen to this.
4:21
Speaker 9: For the US crew member who was missing in southwestern
4:24
Speaker 9: Iran after his F fifteen fighter jet was shot down
4:28
Speaker 9: has been rescued.
4:29
Speaker 4: The successful extraction.
4:30
Speaker 9: Was announced by President Trump overnight on True Social The
4:34
Speaker 9: President simply said we got him, before providing new details
4:38
Speaker 9: that dozens of US military aircraft were used to retrieve
4:41
Speaker 9: him as US leadership tracked his location. It was a
4:44
Speaker 9: daring operation that included hundreds of US forces racing against
4:48
Speaker 9: the clock to rescue the crew member.
4:50
Speaker 4: Fox News has.
4:51
Speaker 9: Learned that after the fighter jet was shot down on Friday,
4:53
Speaker 9: the weapons systems officer hiked to an elevated mountain ridge,
4:57
Speaker 9: where he hid and waited for retrieval. The pilot of
4:59
Speaker 9: the jet was rescued by US special forces on Friday,
5:02
Speaker 9: but President Trump said they waited to confirm as to
5:05
Speaker 9: not jeopardize this second operation. The President added quote, this
5:09
Speaker 9: is the first time in military memory that two US
5:11
Speaker 9: pilots had been rescued separately deep.
5:13
Speaker 4: In enemy territory.
5:15
Speaker 9: The IDF said they avoided striking this area as American
5:18
Speaker 9: planes and helicopters flew at a low altitude, hoping to
5:21
Speaker 9: find any sign of the service member. Israeli forces, however,
5:24
Speaker 9: ramped up air strikes over the weekend in other areas,
5:27
Speaker 9: targeting Iran's petrochemical plants. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu added
5:32
Speaker 9: this about the operation.
5:35
Speaker 10: Minsta I promised you that we would continue to crush
5:37
Speaker 10: the terrorist regime into Iran, and that is exactly what
5:40
Speaker 10: we are doing. After we destroyed seventy percent of their
5:43
Speaker 10: steel production capacity, which serves as raw material for their weapons.
5:47
Speaker 10: Today we struck the petrochemical plants.
5:52
Speaker 4: While Israel went on the offensive.
5:53
Speaker 9: They also took numerous incoming ballistic missiles over the weekend,
5:56
Speaker 9: despite mostly hitting civilian targets in Israel Iran, and to
6:00
Speaker 9: ramp up attacks with newer, more advanced missiles. They're also
6:03
Speaker 9: threatening to shoot down additional US.
6:05
Speaker 4: Planes N'SOLLDHMI MO.
6:09
Speaker 11: The enemy should know that we rely on new air
6:11
Speaker 11: defense systems built by the young, knowledgeable, and proud people
6:15
Speaker 11: of this country. Unveiling them one after another in the field,
6:18
Speaker 11: we will certainly achieve full control of our country skies
6:22
Speaker 11: and prove the humiliation of the weak enemy to the
6:24
Speaker 11: world more than ever.
6:28
Speaker 4: The Iroonians can say what they want.
6:29
Speaker 9: The reality is thousands of US and Israeli sorties have
6:32
Speaker 9: flown through the skies of Iran, striking military targets across
6:36
Speaker 9: the country, and overnight the excellence of the US military
6:40
Speaker 9: on display, setting special forces in to rescue that crew member.
6:45
Speaker 3: President Trump added to this at his press conference right
6:48
Speaker 3: after the Easter egg roll at the White House earlier today.
6:52
Speaker 3: Check this out.
6:53
Speaker 6: But these two extraordinary rescues, because it was tue and
6:57
Speaker 6: as you probably know, we didn't talk about.
6:59
Speaker 2: The first one for an hour.
7:01
Speaker 6: Then somebody leaked something which will hopefully find that leaker.
7:05
Speaker 6: We're looking very hard to find that leaker and talked
7:08
Speaker 6: about there's somebody missing. They basically said that we have
7:14
Speaker 6: one and there's somebody missing. Well, they didn't know there
7:16
Speaker 6: was somebody missing until this leaker gave the information. So
7:20
Speaker 6: whoever it was, we think we'll be able to find
7:22
Speaker 6: it out because we're going to go to the media
7:25
Speaker 6: company that released it and we're going to say national security,
7:30
Speaker 6: give it up or go to jail, and we know
7:35
Speaker 6: who and you know who we're talking about, because some
7:38
Speaker 6: things you can't do. Because when they did that, all
7:40
Speaker 6: of a sudden, the entire country of Iran knew that
7:44
Speaker 6: there was a pilot that was somewhere on their land
7:49
Speaker 6: that was fighting for his life. And it also made
7:52
Speaker 6: it much more difficult for the pilots and for the
7:56
Speaker 6: people going in to search for him. All of a sudden,
8:01
Speaker 6: they know that there's somebody out there, they see all
8:03
Speaker 6: these planes coming in.
8:04
Speaker 2: It became a much more difficult operation.
8:07
Speaker 6: Because a leaker leaked that we have one, we've rescued one,
8:13
Speaker 6: but there's another one out there that we're trying to get.
8:17
Speaker 6: So actually, the country Iran put out a major notice.
8:23
Speaker 6: You all saw it offering a very big award for
8:27
Speaker 6: anybody that captures the pilot. So in addition to a hostile,
8:32
Speaker 6: very talented, very good, very evil military, we had millions
8:38
Speaker 6: of people trying to get an award. So when you
8:42
Speaker 6: add that to it, But we have to find that leaker,
8:44
Speaker 6: because that's a sick person. Probably didn't realize the extent
8:48
Speaker 6: of how bad it was. I can't imagine that the
8:50
Speaker 6: person did.
8:51
Speaker 2: But we're going to find out.
8:52
Speaker 6: It's national security and the person that did the story
8:58
Speaker 6: will go to jail if he doesn't say and that
9:00
Speaker 6: doesn't last long. And I think everybody would understand they
9:03
Speaker 6: put this mission at great risk, They put that man
9:06
Speaker 6: at great risk, and they put the hundreds of people
9:08
Speaker 6: that went in looking for them. Because everyone now knows that.
9:12
Speaker 2: We're going in.
9:14
Speaker 3: President Trump harping on this and rightfully so getting after
9:19
Speaker 3: who leaked the info. But give me some details about
9:22
Speaker 3: how they lied to Iran lied to the world as
9:27
Speaker 3: a ruse to say, hey, look, no, we got everything
9:29
Speaker 3: we need. We got them all so that they wouldn't
9:31
Speaker 3: look for them and were able to safely extract both
9:36
Speaker 3: the pilot and the Weapons Service officer just absolutely fantastic
9:42
Speaker 3: rescuing this crew aboard the F fifteen eagle that went
9:46
Speaker 3: down on Friday. And Amen, Praise God, hallelujah. Right, truly
9:50
Speaker 3: an Eastern miracle, and I think both President Trump and
9:54
Speaker 3: Secretary Hegseth both alluded to that in their remarks. Now,
9:58
Speaker 3: I also wanted to get into to the rest of
10:02
Speaker 3: this because there was a tweet, a tweet that has
10:06
Speaker 3: been making its rounds from President Trump, and this is
10:10
Speaker 3: pretty interesting.
10:11
Speaker 1: Listen to this language and not to social thus only
10:16
Speaker 1: to make my point.
10:17
Speaker 2: I think you've heard it before.
10:20
Speaker 3: And the truth social posts that they're talking about, well,
10:24
Speaker 3: I got it right here in front of me. Let
10:25
Speaker 3: me pull it right up. This is from Donald J.
10:29
Speaker 3: Trump just last night. Tuesday will be power plant Day
10:34
Speaker 3: and bridge Day all wrapped up into one. In Iran.
10:37
Speaker 3: There will be nothing like it. Open the effing straight,
10:41
Speaker 3: you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just
10:45
Speaker 3: watch Praise Be to Allah President Donald J. Trump. So
10:52
Speaker 3: when they asked him, why did you use such harsh language,
10:56
Speaker 3: and he said, to make my point. He made his
10:59
Speaker 3: point right. That tweet went around the world. And now
11:05
Speaker 3: the question will be how serious is this line? In
11:11
Speaker 3: the sand. Deadline going to be right, it's Monday night.
11:14
Speaker 3: This is the deadline is now Tuesday night. It was
11:18
Speaker 3: forty eight hours from last night, so eight pm on
11:22
Speaker 3: Tuesday is the deadline. What will happen? I don't know.
11:28
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer. Something tells me. You know,
11:32
Speaker 3: it's unfair, right, I'm like a coin right now. On
11:35
Speaker 3: one side, you know, heads, I say, the Iranians come
11:39
Speaker 3: with something that's not enough, but maybe enough to buy
11:43
Speaker 3: them a little more time. Or the absolute other side,
11:49
Speaker 3: which is Trump just starts blowing stuff up. And don't
11:54
Speaker 3: believe the hype. It wouldn't be war crimes.
11:58
Speaker 5: Right.
11:58
Speaker 3: He's trying to be fair, trying to give them an out.
12:01
Speaker 3: He's trying to end this thing. There's talk about a
12:04
Speaker 3: forty five day ceasefire. There's all sorts of ideas and
12:07
Speaker 3: proposals out there, but none of them have been enough.
12:11
Speaker 3: So the question becomes what type of damage will be inflicted?
12:17
Speaker 3: While he says bridges, he says power plant. I don't know.
12:24
Speaker 3: Some are saying they're going to use a short, minimal
12:29
Speaker 3: damage way of taking out the power grid so that
12:33
Speaker 3: it doesn't need to be rebuilt. But it is inoperable
12:36
Speaker 3: for X amount of time. I don't know. I don't
12:40
Speaker 3: know if Trump's going to accept their plans for a
12:42
Speaker 3: forty five day ceasefire, but it seems like they want
12:47
Speaker 3: something other than what they're suggesting. Right, Iran rejecting a
12:52
Speaker 3: new ceasefire proposal from the United States, insisting instead on
12:56
Speaker 3: a permanent end to the conflict with firm guarantees against
13:00
Speaker 3: future attacks. And this is what they're reporting, And they're saying,
13:03
Speaker 3: the only thing he's got to agree to is to
13:05
Speaker 3: let them collect tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. And
13:09
Speaker 3: in addition to collecting tolls in the Strait of Hormus,
13:12
Speaker 3: they also want to be able to enrich uranium. So
13:18
Speaker 3: these are terms that I think the President is not
13:20
Speaker 3: going to accept. So the question becomes now when they
13:24
Speaker 3: start taking out every bridge. Are these bridges that the military,
13:27
Speaker 3: the Iranian military, the IRGC, is this infrastructure these power plants?
13:33
Speaker 3: Are they gaining their electricity to advance the war from
13:37
Speaker 3: these power plants? Are they using these bridges to transport
13:42
Speaker 3: their surface to ground, surface to air missiles air defense?
13:49
Speaker 3: If so, then these are legitimate targets in the war,
13:52
Speaker 3: and the United States has every right to take out
13:55
Speaker 3: any infrastructure that helps those people commit their war. So
14:02
Speaker 3: these would not be war crimes. And you can't be,
14:05
Speaker 3: you know, gullible and listen to everything the left is
14:08
Speaker 3: telling you, and listen. I know you people are smart.
14:12
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you that war is good.
14:14
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you that war is sometimes necessary.
14:17
Speaker 3: I know that the people listening to this show are smart.
14:20
Speaker 3: You guys are smart enough to know that gas prices
14:24
Speaker 3: with no war whatsoever, right remember when there was no
14:27
Speaker 3: war at all, we're a dollar higher than they are
14:31
Speaker 3: right now during the Biden administration. I remember that, So
14:36
Speaker 3: I know you're not going to believe the hype on
14:38
Speaker 3: that about the gas prices and whatnot. The first three
14:41
Speaker 3: weeks of this war, there wasn't a major impact on gas.
14:45
Speaker 3: Here we are thirty five, thirty six days now we're
14:48
Speaker 3: seeing some impact on gas prices. Got it. Not saying
14:51
Speaker 3: it's a good thing, not defending it, just saying it's
14:54
Speaker 3: an expected reality and it's something that I think can
14:58
Speaker 3: be mitigated. The minute strike a deal with Iran, these
15:02
Speaker 3: things roll right back and we're in a good place.
15:05
Speaker 3: And what that deal looks like, I don't know. You
15:08
Speaker 3: heard my conversation with Ambassador Wallace the other night, and
15:11
Speaker 3: we were talking about how many layers deep, how many
15:15
Speaker 3: leaders in this leadership do you need to kill off
15:18
Speaker 3: before you hit you know, the Tutsi old center of
15:20
Speaker 3: a Tutsi pup right when you hit the layer that says, Look,
15:24
Speaker 3: we're not as radical as mosh Taba, how many we're
15:29
Speaker 3: not as radical as General Solomani, as Larajani. These guys
15:36
Speaker 3: that are sold hook line and sinker on this lifestyle,
15:40
Speaker 3: hell bent on destroying the Great Satan and the Little Satan,
15:45
Speaker 3: the United States and Israel. So what happens? Where do
15:51
Speaker 3: we go? How does it look? I don't know. I
15:53
Speaker 3: don't have those answers, but if I had to guess,
15:56
Speaker 3: like I said, I think we're going to get either
15:59
Speaker 3: another weak plead from the Iranians, which seems like we've
16:03
Speaker 3: already gotten those. I don't think they're ever going to
16:06
Speaker 3: agree fully. So it looks like the only way out
16:10
Speaker 3: of this is for Trump to hit them extraordinarily hard
16:14
Speaker 3: and hopefully that will jolt them and wake them up.
16:18
Speaker 3: I don't know, I really don't know, but this doesn't
16:23
Speaker 3: help anybody. And even though we're at war, and Trump's
16:25
Speaker 3: favorability is taking a hit. Democrats still aren't in the
16:30
Speaker 3: best place. We're gonna get into that straight ahead. I
16:33
Speaker 3: want you to keep it locked right here. I am
16:34
Speaker 3: Rich Valdest. Don't go anywhere.
16:37
Speaker 5: This is America.
16:47
Speaker 1: This is America or primal barah, richveld is e s
16:58
Speaker 1: nous America.
17:00
Speaker 3: All right, I goes, welcome back for Melia. I am
17:04
Speaker 3: Rich Valdez keeping a company this Monday night and CNN
17:09
Speaker 3: having to make a report, and you know they never
17:12
Speaker 3: like making a favorable Trump report, But CNN making a
17:16
Speaker 3: report that ed Trompito's and all this magnus to forty
17:20
Speaker 3: seventh president of these United States might just in fact
17:25
Speaker 3: be doing better than they expect. Now, like I just mentioned,
17:28
Speaker 3: we're in the middle of a war. Wars help certain people,
17:32
Speaker 3: like during nine to eleven they helped Georgie W. Bush.
17:34
Speaker 3: But for the most part, wars hurt your favorability. Nobody
17:38
Speaker 3: wants to be in war, and that's understandable. Well, CNN
17:44
Speaker 3: doing their data analysis and their chief data analyst, Harry Enton,
17:49
Speaker 3: well he was reporting on this earlier. And let me
17:53
Speaker 3: tell you, it doesn't seem like things are going that
17:56
Speaker 3: great for the Democrats. I want you to listen to this.
17:59
Speaker 12: Just take a look at this net favorability party ahead
18:02
Speaker 12: at this point midterm of years with a GOP president
18:04
Speaker 12: in twenty eighteen, demsro up by twelve. In two thousand
18:07
Speaker 12: and six on net favorability, which party you like more?
18:09
Speaker 12: Demsro hit by eighteen. Republicans are actually ahead on net
18:12
Speaker 12: favorability at this point by five points. So Democrats are
18:16
Speaker 12: just simply put running behind their previous benchmarks, and they'd
18:19
Speaker 12: be running well ahead of them if they want to
18:21
Speaker 12: take back the United States Senate.
18:23
Speaker 3: Really funny piece in RedState dot Com that really kind
18:27
Speaker 3: of outlines this, and I got it up in front
18:30
Speaker 3: of me. I'll give you a little bit of it.
18:32
Speaker 3: Really a very pithy, very tongue in cheek. But Democrats
18:37
Speaker 3: face a five alarm fire as poles reveal historic favorability lows.
18:42
Speaker 3: This is by Rusty Weiss, and this is, like I said,
18:47
Speaker 3: it's a chuckle for Shisel. Democrats better go find Jamal Bowman.
18:52
Speaker 3: Someone needs to pull a five alarm fire and alert
18:55
Speaker 3: them with the fire alarm that they don't have the
18:58
Speaker 3: midterms locked up at least as far as the Senate
19:01
Speaker 3: is concerned, they don't have it by any stretch of
19:04
Speaker 3: the imagination. Now, the Democrats, who are the resistance party,
19:09
Speaker 3: are going down a path of trying to reclaim the
19:13
Speaker 3: Senate Chamber in twenty twenty six. But despite their six
19:17
Speaker 3: point lead, and that is a modest six point lead
19:21
Speaker 3: on the generic congressional ballot, that advantage is historically low
19:25
Speaker 3: for the opposing party under a Republican president. According to
19:28
Speaker 3: CNN data guru Harry Enton, who you just heard, the
19:32
Speaker 3: numbers fall dreadfully short of the eight point edge Democrats
19:36
Speaker 3: enjoyed in twenty eighteen and the eleven point lead in
19:39
Speaker 3: two thousand and six. So yeah, Democrats are ahead, explained
19:43
Speaker 3: Harry Enton to John Berman, the anchor on the show.
19:47
Speaker 3: But they're only a head by five with a president
19:50
Speaker 3: who'se approval rating is bordering a negative attorney, excuse me,
19:53
Speaker 3: negative twenty to negative thirty. Depending on what polls you're
19:56
Speaker 3: looking at, you'd make the argument that Democrats should be
19:59
Speaker 3: way ahea, yet they're only slightly ahead. Newsweek reports that
20:05
Speaker 3: the new polling should be a warning to Democrats and
20:08
Speaker 3: notes that the numbers continue to show Democrats are not
20:11
Speaker 3: particularly strong amongst the electorate, largely due to frustration from
20:16
Speaker 3: their own voters, and that sucks. It's going to be
20:19
Speaker 3: tough to get those voters motivated and out the door
20:23
Speaker 3: on election day, especially for those living in Democrat districts
20:28
Speaker 3: who actually vote on that day, because many Democrat districts
20:32
Speaker 3: vote well in advance. But when your base can barely
20:35
Speaker 3: stand you, this is what happens, right no wonder the
20:39
Speaker 3: DNC and the Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House
20:42
Speaker 3: print ear Leader Hakim Jeffries have been panicking over President
20:46
Speaker 3: Trump's executive order cracking down on mail and voting, and
20:50
Speaker 3: that's part of the Save Act that he's been pushing
20:53
Speaker 3: for now. In my neck of the woods, Senator Corey Booker,
20:59
Speaker 3: he said as that his party's dropping the ball ahead
21:03
Speaker 3: of the midterms, saying this, excuse me, so proud of
21:07
Speaker 3: the things my Democrat colleagues are doing, but as a whole,
21:10
Speaker 3: our party has failed this moment. M He's right. He
21:15
Speaker 3: said that to meet the press. Just last weekend on Friday,
21:20
Speaker 3: I played rom Emmanuel Obama's former chief of staff and
21:25
Speaker 3: former mayor of Chicago, saying the same thing. He says
21:29
Speaker 3: Democrats have crapped the bed on social issues, the ones
21:32
Speaker 3: where they used to lead, now they're not leading anymore.
21:36
Speaker 3: So whether the numbers translated into election results remains to
21:41
Speaker 3: be seen. There's a lot of Democrat voters who would
21:44
Speaker 3: likely hold their nose and vote for whoever the Democrat
21:48
Speaker 3: is then see the president or any Republican you know,
21:52
Speaker 3: win and that could be for a number of reasons. Right,
21:57
Speaker 3: I tend to think that some of the most left
21:59
Speaker 3: wing are starting to realize, maybe just a little bit,
22:03
Speaker 3: that they may have gone over the deep end. And
22:06
Speaker 3: what do I mean by that, Well, recently he saw
22:09
Speaker 3: a group named Code Pink, a bunch of communist sympathizers
22:13
Speaker 3: that flew to Cuba, rented a five star resort and
22:18
Speaker 3: stayed there to support the Cubans from being overthrown by
22:24
Speaker 3: the evil Americans. Right, that's what they said. However, in reality,
22:30
Speaker 3: what they saw broke their heart. And there's a guy
22:33
Speaker 3: named Hassan Piker. I don't know him, but he apparently
22:37
Speaker 3: he's very big with the gen Z crowd, has a
22:40
Speaker 3: streaming program on Twitch and does really really well for
22:45
Speaker 3: a progressive leftist streamer. He's the top dog from what
22:49
Speaker 3: I hear, and this guy, Hassan Piker, was shocked, saying
22:56
Speaker 3: he couldn't believe the sites that he was seeing. And
22:59
Speaker 3: I don't think he meant that. He was thrilled by
23:03
Speaker 3: his brethren, the comrades. Listen to this, and it's a
23:08
Speaker 3: picture of what it's like on the ground. What'd you see?
23:11
Speaker 13: When I first landed in Cuba, was taken aback by
23:14
Speaker 13: how beautiful everything was. You know, you got the nineteen
23:16
Speaker 13: fifties cars and it's a tropical island destination. But very
23:21
Speaker 13: quickly thereafter, as soon as we got into Havana, the
23:25
Speaker 13: main city area where people congregate, I couldn't believe the
23:30
Speaker 13: site that I was saying.
23:31
Speaker 4: It was very sad.
23:32
Speaker 13: You had homes that looked like they were bombed out.
23:35
Speaker 13: Our tour guide at the time said that this was
23:39
Speaker 13: somewhat of a product of hurricane season and how difficult
23:41
Speaker 13: it is to repair these buildings. And I already had
23:46
Speaker 13: known about the rolling blackouts, and I experienced them later
23:49
Speaker 13: in the day and it was definitely unlike anything I've
23:52
Speaker 13: ever experienced before. Everything's pitch black, there aren't any traffic
23:56
Speaker 13: lights on. It's crazy, right, But I was taking back
24:00
Speaker 13: I was very sad by all the poverty that I saw,
24:03
Speaker 13: and then I was very angry.
24:05
Speaker 4: Paint us a picture of what it's like on the ground,
24:07
Speaker 4: what'd you see.
24:09
Speaker 13: It was actually Ben Rhoades who told me that I
24:12
Speaker 13: would get.
24:12
Speaker 4: Very sad when I first wonnd Obama foreign policy advisor.
24:16
Speaker 13: Former Obama foreign policy advisor Ben Roads, who was, you know,
24:19
Speaker 13: a formative in the in the previous normalization agreement with
24:21
Speaker 13: Cuba that Barack Obama had orchestrated. And and he was right.
24:25
Speaker 13: It was very sad to see, but then it was
24:28
Speaker 13: very angering. It was very angry inducing because I felt like,
24:32
Speaker 13: you know, there was a lot of potential on this
24:34
Speaker 13: island that we were just robbing the people of and
24:37
Speaker 13: uh and and it's it's totally cruel and totally unnecessary.
24:40
Speaker 13: And it was part of the reason why I went
24:42
Speaker 13: to Cuba, because I've heard a lot about uh, you know,
24:45
Speaker 13: Cuban organizing, the Cuban government. I'd read a lot about it.
24:49
Speaker 13: I knew about the island's history of developing sovereignty, but
24:52
Speaker 13: I'd also heard about this blockade right and I wanted
24:55
Speaker 13: to figure out exactly how this blockade was was harm
25:00
Speaker 13: people directly and in many ways that are indirect, because
25:05
Speaker 13: the blockade itself is designed to be invisible.
25:08
Speaker 4: It's a system of sanctions.
25:10
Speaker 13: It's this like bureaucratic nightmare that basically renders it impossible
25:15
Speaker 13: for the island to do regular commerce just like any
25:17
Speaker 13: other country. Banks can't take out loans from any other banks,
25:22
Speaker 13: and you, as an American citizen, as a matter of fact,
25:25
Speaker 13: have a lot of restrictions on what you can and
25:27
Speaker 13: can't do, both on the island or if you want
25:29
Speaker 13: to even send money if you have relatives on the island,
25:31
Speaker 13: it's a very difficult process that like directly send cash
25:34
Speaker 13: payments to your relatives as well.
25:36
Speaker 3: It's totally unnecessary.
25:38
Speaker 13: These rules are so arbitrary, and yet they're so damaging
25:41
Speaker 13: to everyone to everyday Cuban exists.
25:43
Speaker 3: So like most good com is, he's trying to blame
25:46
Speaker 3: everything on the United States. Cuba is starving because of
25:50
Speaker 3: what we are eating, right, And I learned a long
25:53
Speaker 3: time ago, and I think you know this to be true,
25:55
Speaker 3: that you'll never get fat off of what I eat,
25:58
Speaker 3: meaning what I doing nothing to do with you. So
26:02
Speaker 3: then why why is it that things are going so poorly?
26:05
Speaker 3: Why is it that if the United States, we wouldn't
26:08
Speaker 3: fall apart if we had to become an isolationist place. Right,
26:12
Speaker 3: if we never bought a piece of plastic and cheap
26:14
Speaker 3: stuff from China, a lot of people would freak out.
26:17
Speaker 3: There'd be a lot of withdrawal, and it would hurt
26:19
Speaker 3: us in many ways, I'm sure. But we wouldn't die, right,
26:23
Speaker 3: We would continue. We'd figure out other ways of doing things.
26:26
Speaker 3: Yet Cuba didn't figure out other ways of doing things.
26:30
Speaker 3: And that's the part mister Piker seems to miss. He
26:33
Speaker 3: seems to miss that. Okay, so your bank can't borrow
26:36
Speaker 3: from my bank, But guess what your bank should have
26:38
Speaker 3: money in it. Why doesn't it Why aren't they doing
26:41
Speaker 3: commerce locally? Why aren't they growing chickens and selling chickens?
26:46
Speaker 3: Why aren't they doing what they do? Why aren't they
26:48
Speaker 3: just allowing people to come to their gorgeous beaches? And
26:52
Speaker 3: they do right? This has nothing to do with the blockade,
26:57
Speaker 3: the embargo. We're just saying we won't do business with communists.
27:02
Speaker 3: But guess what, there are other communists out there. Why
27:05
Speaker 3: is that not filled with people from Russia, filled with
27:09
Speaker 3: people from previously from Iran, filled with people from all
27:14
Speaker 3: the socialist bastions all over the world, the Red Chinese,
27:18
Speaker 3: the Venezuelans. How come the hotels are even no frills
27:24
Speaker 3: in many ways?
27:25
Speaker 14: Right?
27:25
Speaker 3: I know people have been to Cuban. They tell me
27:27
Speaker 3: the five star restaurants aren't that great. The five star
27:30
Speaker 3: hotel experience isn't what you're expecting. It's not the same
27:33
Speaker 3: as the United States. The view is the same. The
27:35
Speaker 3: beach is gorgeous and superior to most beaches, but when
27:39
Speaker 3: it comes to everything else, they lose power like everybody
27:43
Speaker 3: else that have to go on their backup generators. So
27:47
Speaker 3: then the question becomes, why is Hassan Piker so blinded?
27:51
Speaker 3: Is he blinded by hate? Is he just willing to
27:54
Speaker 3: turn a blind eye to seeing what the Cubans have
27:57
Speaker 3: done with Castros in charge? First Fidel, then Raoul and
28:03
Speaker 3: now ds Canel And apparently Marco Rubio is cutting a
28:07
Speaker 3: deal with one of the other Castros, a grandchild that's saying, hey, look,
28:14
Speaker 3: things might be better if we deal with the Americans directly.
28:19
Speaker 3: Why doesn't he realize that? Why doesn't he see the
28:21
Speaker 3: upside the way I see the upside? I don't know.
28:25
Speaker 3: I guess we'll have to just agree to disagree, but
28:29
Speaker 3: it doesn't change his first few comments. What he saw
28:32
Speaker 3: was very sad and sadly they want to turn around
28:36
Speaker 3: and blame the United States, El Trompito and everybody else.
28:39
Speaker 3: And the only one that got to pass on that
28:40
Speaker 3: was Obama because he was the most communist sympathetic president
28:45
Speaker 3: we've ever had. All Right, well that's how that goes. Anyway,
28:51
Speaker 3: there is more to come. Straight ahead, we're going to
28:52
Speaker 3: continue our conversation. I'm gonna give a little recap of
28:55
Speaker 3: my Easter weekend as well as a couple more things.
28:59
Speaker 3: I want to talk what the Space Shuttle Artemis. We're
29:02
Speaker 3: gonna talk about that. They are about four thousand miles
29:06
Speaker 3: ahead of the last US crew to go up to
29:11
Speaker 3: the Moon, and they're gonna go dark shortly because they're
29:15
Speaker 3: going to be going behind the Moon as they travel
29:18
Speaker 3: around the Moon and they will be losing their communications.
29:21
Speaker 3: So Artemis two, the Space Shuttle will experience a comm's
29:25
Speaker 3: blackout today and we'll bring you some news on that
29:30
Speaker 3: as well, plus some warm words from the crew. This Easter,
29:35
Speaker 3: don't go anywhere. I'm rich about that.
29:38
Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
29:52
Speaker 12: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
29:56
Speaker 12: to speak with Rich Valdes.
29:58
Speaker 5: Oh, very good, bugg and honor. Thanks Rich.
30:03
Speaker 3: The honor is all yours, conservative time with a dash
30:08
Speaker 3: of sofrito.
30:09
Speaker 2: Now here's Rich Valdez.
30:14
Speaker 3: All right, amigos, welcome back, and I want to talk
30:17
Speaker 3: to you a little bit about this crew, the crew
30:19
Speaker 3: of the Artemis two. Now Artemis two is the spaceship
30:23
Speaker 3: that launched last week and made its way or is
30:26
Speaker 3: making its way round the Moon, and these astronauts are
30:30
Speaker 3: back in lunar space for the first time in more
30:33
Speaker 3: than fifty years. Artemis two, Orion's spacecraft Integrity, crossed into
30:39
Speaker 3: the Moon's gravitational influence at approximately twelve forty one Eastern
30:43
Speaker 3: time on April sixth, that's earlier today, officially making NASA's
30:48
Speaker 3: Reed Weisman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, as well as
30:52
Speaker 3: the Canadian Space Agency's Jeremy Hanson, the first astronauts to
30:57
Speaker 3: enter lunar space in more than half a century. How
31:02
Speaker 3: about that, right? I thought that was pretty wild. And
31:06
Speaker 3: over the weekend, Victor Glover was sending a message with
31:11
Speaker 3: respect to Easter and reflecting on God's creation and I
31:15
Speaker 3: thought it was pretty awesome, so I want you to
31:17
Speaker 3: hear it. Check it out.
31:19
Speaker 15: I'm glad you brought that up though. I think these
31:20
Speaker 15: observances are important, and as we are so far from
31:24
Speaker 15: Earth and looking back at, you know, the beauty of creation.
31:27
Speaker 15: I think the for me, one of the really important
31:30
Speaker 15: personal perspectives that I have up here is I can
31:33
Speaker 15: really see Earth as one thing. And you know, when
31:36
Speaker 15: I read the Bible and I look at all of
31:38
Speaker 15: the amazing things that were done for us who were created,
31:41
Speaker 15: it's you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys
31:45
Speaker 15: are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really
31:47
Speaker 15: far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth
31:51
Speaker 15: that was created to give us a place to live
31:53
Speaker 15: in the universe and the Cosmos. Think maybe the distance
31:57
Speaker 15: we are from you makes you think what we're doing
31:59
Speaker 15: is special. But we're the same distance from you, and
32:01
Speaker 15: I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special.
32:04
Speaker 15: In all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch
32:07
Speaker 15: of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have
32:09
Speaker 15: this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together.
32:14
Speaker 15: I think as we go into Easter, Sunday thinking about
32:17
Speaker 15: you know, all the cultures all around the world, whether
32:19
Speaker 15: you celebrated or not, whether you believe in God or not,
32:22
Speaker 15: this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are,
32:25
Speaker 15: who we are, and that we are the same thing,
32:28
Speaker 15: and that we got to get through this together.
32:30
Speaker 3: That was really nice. And they shared a war.
32:32
Speaker 9: Well for someone who didn't have anything prepared, that that
32:34
Speaker 9: was really quite extraordinary.
32:36
Speaker 3: It really was quite extraordinary. That was a clip of
32:39
Speaker 3: the news anchor that was playing that clip. And you
32:41
Speaker 3: don't want to lose track of while you're of why
32:45
Speaker 3: you're there and who we are while we're there, and
32:48
Speaker 3: while they're not parking their spaceship in lunar orbit or
32:52
Speaker 3: attempting a landing like Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The
32:56
Speaker 3: point where lunar gravity becomes more powerful than the Earth
32:59
Speaker 3: is can considered the arrival point to lunar space. It's
33:02
Speaker 3: a threshold that only twenty four explorers have crossed until now,
33:05
Speaker 3: and again this is a piece in the Epic Times,
33:08
Speaker 3: Today's epic times. The crew was scheduled to wake up
33:11
Speaker 3: at ten point fifty am, when a historic day of
33:14
Speaker 3: firsts and breaking records and new opportunities for discoveries was
33:21
Speaker 3: just before them. They are the largest crew to fly
33:25
Speaker 3: around the Moon, and they are expected to set a
33:28
Speaker 3: new distance record for the farthest human beings have ever
33:31
Speaker 3: traveled from Earth. They're also expected to observe areas of
33:36
Speaker 3: the lunar surface that have never been seen before firsthand
33:40
Speaker 3: by human eyes, and a complete solar eclipse before Lunar
33:44
Speaker 3: gravity essentially throws their spacecraft on a course back home.
33:50
Speaker 3: So imagine that they don't even need gas while they're
33:52
Speaker 3: up there, right, No jet fuel, none of that stuff,
33:55
Speaker 3: because gravity will send them right back where they're coming from.
33:58
Speaker 3: NASA's live coverage is expect to begin at one pm
34:01
Speaker 3: Eastern Time today. You can follow the play by play.
34:04
Speaker 3: At one point thirty, the crew will have a conversation
34:06
Speaker 3: with mission control. At two forty five, Artemis two seven
34:10
Speaker 3: hour lunar flyby will officially begin, and the Integrity's course
34:14
Speaker 3: will send the crew behind the Moon, passing on lookers
34:19
Speaker 3: left and swinging by to re emerge on lookers right.
34:23
Speaker 3: Pretty cool now. From their vantage point, the crew will
34:26
Speaker 3: be able to see the elements of both the near
34:28
Speaker 3: and far size, with about twenty percent of the far
34:31
Speaker 3: side eliminated, with plenty of opportunities to see things for
34:34
Speaker 3: the first time that we've never seen before, at least
34:37
Speaker 3: human eyes have never seen before. The crew will work
34:39
Speaker 3: in pairs, observing the Moon in fifty five to eighty
34:42
Speaker 3: five minute shifts due to the limited windows space. Juliengross,
34:47
Speaker 3: Artemis sample curation lead, who was asked with helping choose
34:51
Speaker 3: these sites, praise the in person human observation as being
34:55
Speaker 3: the best for being able to provide immediate descriptions compared
34:59
Speaker 3: to the robotic spacecraft. So yet again humans outdo the
35:03
Speaker 3: robots and that's nice something that she told The Epic Times.
35:08
Speaker 3: She said the human brain is so good at looking
35:10
Speaker 3: at a surface and immediately picking out those changes in
35:13
Speaker 3: the blink of an eye. Orbiters and spacecraft take months
35:17
Speaker 3: and years to get their data. Lunar scientists also told
35:20
Speaker 3: The Epic Times that there are spots on both the
35:23
Speaker 3: far and near sides that they're very excited to see.
35:26
Speaker 3: On the far side, some of those targets include Oriental Basin,
35:29
Speaker 3: which is an older basin called Hertz Sprung h E
35:36
Speaker 3: r t Z s p r U n g heurts Sprung.
35:40
Speaker 3: On the near side, Gross said she was most excited
35:43
Speaker 3: to observe the Aristitchios plateau. I'm sure I'm saying that wrong.
35:49
Speaker 3: It's the Brooklyn and me it's the Brooklyn pronunciation. Kelsey Young.
35:53
Speaker 3: This is the science lead aboard. Artemists too, said that
35:57
Speaker 3: the crew will also be able to see the Apollo
36:01
Speaker 3: twelve and Apollo fourteen landing sites. How cool is that?
36:05
Speaker 3: So excellent stuff here, and eventually they'll be going dark
36:09
Speaker 3: when they lose their connectivity. By six forty five PM,
36:13
Speaker 3: Artemis two will witness an Earth set and experience a
36:17
Speaker 3: loss of communication with mission control as the Moon's position
36:20
Speaker 3: moves directly between Integrity and the Earth, just like the
36:24
Speaker 3: Apollo missions that came before it. At seven oh two,
36:26
Speaker 3: Artemis two is expected to make its closest pass to
36:30
Speaker 3: the lunar surface, at an altitude of approximately just four
36:33
Speaker 3: thousand miles. At that distance, mission leaders say that the
36:37
Speaker 3: Moon will appear the size of a basketball held at
36:41
Speaker 3: arm's length. That distance will give Integrity astronauts a unique
36:45
Speaker 3: perspective compared to those of Apollo, who flew much closer.
36:49
Speaker 3: At seven to twenty five PM, communication is supposed to
36:53
Speaker 3: be reacquired, and then Earth rise will be observed at
36:58
Speaker 3: nine to twenty pm. Lunar observations are expected to be completed,
37:04
Speaker 3: and and it goes on and on and on until
37:07
Speaker 3: about our time. So we'll give you an update on
37:10
Speaker 3: that tomorrow. But I just wanted to share some of
37:12
Speaker 3: that with you. I was getting bored of the article,
37:14
Speaker 3: so I'm going to stop reading it. But it's not
37:17
Speaker 3: a boring topic, right, It's a pretty interesting topic to
37:20
Speaker 3: hear people going around the moon and that type of exploration.
37:24
Speaker 3: And I know there's a lot of skeptics that think
37:25
Speaker 3: we didn't do it before, or that this is the
37:27
Speaker 3: first time. There's some skeptics that don't even think we're
37:29
Speaker 3: doing it this time. So take it as you will.
37:34
Speaker 3: But I think it's a pretty cool thing. And I'm
37:39
Speaker 3: just wondering if you know, they're going to come back
37:41
Speaker 3: with stories about new life, right the way we have
37:44
Speaker 3: new life in Christ with the resurrection of Jesus for
37:46
Speaker 3: Easter Sunday, will we have new life on the moon? Right?
37:51
Speaker 3: Do we have little moon friends like we have on
37:54
Speaker 3: Mars with the Martians. I'm just speculating, right, I think
37:58
Speaker 3: I don't think those have been confirmed. Anyway, we'll discuss
38:03
Speaker 3: that and so much more straight ahead. I'll give you
38:05
Speaker 3: my recap on Easter Sunday and a couple other items
38:09
Speaker 3: that I want to get to. Don't go anywhere, We're
38:11
Speaker 3: coming right back. I'm Rich Valdez.
38:13
Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
38:27
Speaker 16: He's got the best head of hair and podcasting.
38:30
Speaker 5: This is America with Rich Valdez.
38:46
Speaker 17: You have some NBA news out of Chicago. On Monday,
38:48
Speaker 17: the Bulls release guarred Jaden Ivy for comments baby detrimental
38:52
Speaker 17: to the team after Ivy posted some anti gay sediments
38:55
Speaker 17: in a lengthy social media post. Ivy specifically took exception
38:59
Speaker 17: to the NBA's Embrace of Pride month, citing the league's
39:02
Speaker 17: quote unrighteousness end quote. Ivy has been active on social
39:06
Speaker 17: media lately, vocalizing his religious views. Ivy's mother, Nielle, is
39:10
Speaker 17: the head women's basketball coach at Notre Dame right up
39:14
Speaker 17: the road at South Bend.
39:15
Speaker 3: Now, while it's their right to do what they do,
39:18
Speaker 3: why exactly is the NBA, or better said, the Chicago
39:22
Speaker 3: Bulls franchise, why are they specifically doing this now? If
39:28
Speaker 3: this guy wants to say I don't like what the
39:30
Speaker 3: NBA does that's fine. Listen, most employers if you trash them,
39:33
Speaker 3: if you say I don't like that my boss does
39:35
Speaker 3: this or this or this. Whether you work for Donald
39:37
Speaker 3: Trump or you work for a big radio company doesn't matter.
39:40
Speaker 3: They're within their rights to say, hey, you're not allowed
39:43
Speaker 3: to disparage the work we do here. You're supposed to
39:45
Speaker 3: be part of the team. That's a term of our
39:47
Speaker 3: employment agreement. That makes sense. I'm on board with that,
39:52
Speaker 3: But I think when you're a person that's saying, look,
39:55
Speaker 3: I am embracing my faith, and as a matter of
39:59
Speaker 3: my I no longer agree with these statements. I don't
40:03
Speaker 3: like this, and I want to be on the record
40:05
Speaker 3: saying that. This is very different than saying I don't
40:10
Speaker 3: like the tablecloths they use at my restaurant or whatever.
40:14
Speaker 3: And it falls into free speech, it falls into a
40:17
Speaker 3: lot of other things. Now, granted, none of us have
40:19
Speaker 3: free speech at work per se. Right, maybe I do,
40:23
Speaker 3: But someone could come to me and be within their
40:28
Speaker 3: rights and say, hey, look, you keep trashing our company.
40:31
Speaker 3: I don't want you doing it, and they be legally
40:34
Speaker 3: within their rights. Because I'm not in the public square.
40:37
Speaker 3: I'm working, so I get that I'm not here to
40:40
Speaker 3: make the case against the Chicago Bulls for violating some
40:44
Speaker 3: sort of right or committing a crime. But I'm going
40:48
Speaker 3: to say, what is up with this embrace? It's not
40:51
Speaker 3: like it's a huge portion of our population that is
40:57
Speaker 3: even gay. What gives? Where did all this pressure come from?
41:04
Speaker 3: And why? Well, there's an old saying that the squeaky
41:07
Speaker 3: wheel gets the grease, right, squeaky wheel gets the oil.
41:11
Speaker 3: Now that's true. I get that if you complain enough.
41:14
Speaker 3: We've seen it in many different places, a bunch of
41:16
Speaker 3: places where a minority of people will make enough noise
41:22
Speaker 3: to get a majority's attention. The Marxist through this all
41:26
Speaker 3: the time. But to what end? What is the real
41:30
Speaker 3: purpose here? And I asked these questions because mister Jaden
41:37
Speaker 3: Ivy he shares his thoughts on Instagram. I have a
41:43
Speaker 3: clip here of him, you know, taking exception to how
41:47
Speaker 3: they've treated him, And I thought this was very just
41:51
Speaker 3: worth listening to listen to this.
41:53
Speaker 18: They said, my conduct is detrimental to the team. Right,
41:58
Speaker 18: Why didn't they just say, uh, we we don't agree
42:02
Speaker 18: with his stance on lgbt Q. Yeah, why didn't they
42:05
Speaker 18: say that? But how how is it? How is it
42:07
Speaker 18: conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to
42:09
Speaker 18: the team? What did I do to the players? I
42:12
Speaker 18: did nothing but but but practice with them, play with them,
42:16
Speaker 18: passed the ball to them. Good teammates to them, said
42:19
Speaker 18: good job, good shot. I said, I said, uh uh,
42:25
Speaker 18: good job, good job, good past. Way to play bro right, I.
42:30
Speaker 3: Said these things to my teammates.
42:32
Speaker 18: Was never detrimental to them. So why is it that
42:36
Speaker 18: the NBA and the Chicago Bulls say that I'm detrimental
42:39
Speaker 18: to the team. How because I because I have because
42:42
Speaker 18: I believe in the truth, Because because I know Jesus
42:47
Speaker 18: is the Way, the truth, and the life.
42:51
Speaker 3: Amen.
42:54
Speaker 18: How how is my conduct detrimental to the team because
43:00
Speaker 18: because of what I believe, because of what the truth is.
43:06
Speaker 18: He goes on that the world can proclaim l G
43:09
Speaker 18: B t Q.
43:12
Speaker 3: Right.
43:13
Speaker 18: They have, they have, They proclaim Pride months and the
43:17
Speaker 18: NBA they proclaim it. They they show it to the world,
43:24
Speaker 18: they say, come, come, come join us for pride, for
43:29
Speaker 18: Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim
43:39
Speaker 18: it on the billboards, they proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness.
43:46
Speaker 18: So how is it that that one can't speak righteousness?
43:49
Speaker 3: How is it one that?
43:51
Speaker 18: How? How how are they to say that? Uh? You
43:54
Speaker 18: you man, this man is crazy. I'm not. I'm not
43:58
Speaker 18: the the jail used to be put, the old jazz dead.
44:03
Speaker 18: A lot of christ you know, no matter what the
44:08
Speaker 18: basketball setting is, you know, I'm born again the Holy Spirit.
44:15
Speaker 16: You know, I've been saved by Jesus Christ. No matter what.
44:20
Speaker 18: How many d MPs I don't get to play, or no.
44:24
Speaker 3: Matter now Jade and Ivy j I would not be
44:28
Speaker 3: the first Christian to be kicked off his team, to
44:32
Speaker 3: be waived, to lose a job, to be censored, to
44:36
Speaker 3: be ostracized because of his faith. In fact, that's kind
44:40
Speaker 3: of commonplace for Christians in many ways in recent history.
44:44
Speaker 3: But that's a whole separate point. The bottom line is here,
44:47
Speaker 3: I want to take a moment to congratulate the guy
44:49
Speaker 3: and tell him, Hey, good for you. I'm glad you're
44:51
Speaker 3: saying what you want to say. You're speaking your truth,
44:54
Speaker 3: and you've found a place to do it. And I
44:56
Speaker 3: could recommend a few more, right Rumble, great place to
44:59
Speaker 3: tell your truth some of the pod cast platforms. Also,
45:03
Speaker 3: maybe the Chicago Bulls is not the best place for
45:06
Speaker 3: you to tell the truth? Got it? And I believe
45:08
Speaker 3: that what God has for you will come your way.
45:12
Speaker 3: But it opens up the conversation to a bigger question,
45:16
Speaker 3: and the question is why is there such promotion of
45:22
Speaker 3: this movement? What's in it for anybody? Why is there
45:28
Speaker 3: such a push? And all I could tell you is
45:32
Speaker 3: there's a number of reasons, I'm sure, but the one
45:35
Speaker 3: that's explained in this video by a man that has
45:39
Speaker 3: very long green hair. He's wearing makeup and a Louis
45:44
Speaker 3: Vatan shirt and he looks like a woman. Right, he's
45:49
Speaker 3: dressed as a woman, he's acting as a woman, but
45:51
Speaker 3: he is a man and it looks like he's on
45:56
Speaker 3: a show called Him and Her. And this is a
46:02
Speaker 3: very interesting take, right this guy, I believe he goes
46:06
Speaker 3: by the name jeffree Star, and he is I'm gonna
46:11
Speaker 3: dare say gay looking if he's not trans. But listen
46:16
Speaker 3: to what he had to say. Very interesting.
46:18
Speaker 14: The alphabet sweetie should be in your own category. Okay,
46:22
Speaker 14: let me break it down for you. Straights, lesbian, gay
46:27
Speaker 14: and bye. Is that not a sexuality? That's a sexuality? Okay, right, Okay,
46:33
Speaker 14: your what you think your identity is has nothing to
46:36
Speaker 14: do with what you're sexually attracted to. So why is
46:39
Speaker 14: T and Q on LGB T And now what I
46:43
Speaker 14: that means LGB gay lesbian and by that is your
46:47
Speaker 14: preference of who you are attracted to and what you like,
46:52
Speaker 14: your identity issues and who you think you are is.
46:55
Speaker 3: So step Now this is patriot Anna, a lesbian that's
47:03
Speaker 3: on the social media who wants to react to this,
47:05
Speaker 3: and I thought her explanation was fantastic. Listen to this.
47:08
Speaker 19: I'm an agreement, Jeffrey. The eye stands for intersex, the
47:12
Speaker 19: Q and the plus queer and then maps. Yep, it's
47:17
Speaker 19: a whole thing. They're trying to normalize pedophilia. Let's take
47:21
Speaker 19: a gander at this.
47:23
Speaker 11: So there we have it.
47:24
Speaker 3: Now. You know that, I don't know if it was
47:27
Speaker 3: last summer or two summers ago, maybe even three summers ago,
47:31
Speaker 3: the term maps became very popular minor attracted person or
47:37
Speaker 3: the plural form m AP, m aps maps, and people
47:42
Speaker 3: were freaking out about this, saying, hold on a second,
47:44
Speaker 3: don't try normalize pedophilia, and they were like, no, we're
47:47
Speaker 3: not normalizing pedophilia. Pedophilia is a disease. We're normalizing the
47:51
Speaker 3: people that suffer from that as minor attracted persons, and
47:56
Speaker 3: we shouldn't ostracize them for being sick. And this is
47:58
Speaker 3: how they're painting this was thinking to myself, someone who
48:01
Speaker 3: is attracted to a child, and they try to separate
48:04
Speaker 3: it by saying, just because you're attracted to a child
48:05
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that you're a rapist. Child rapists and pedophiles
48:09
Speaker 3: are not the same. If you're a pedophile, you're just
48:11
Speaker 3: suffering from this disease. You become a child rapist when
48:14
Speaker 3: you give in to the disease. And I thought to myself,
48:18
Speaker 3: look at this, an apologist for child molesters. How sick
48:23
Speaker 3: and it hasn't been widely accepted, but there are a
48:26
Speaker 3: few people that have sipped on the kool aid. But
48:29
Speaker 3: she goes on.
48:33
Speaker 19: Anti discrimination bill for gender attracted and same sex attracted pedophilia.
48:44
Speaker 2: Bill.
48:46
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
48:47
Speaker 19: So to understand their disgusting flag, the minor is attracted persons,
48:53
Speaker 19: the other blues little boys, Pink represents little girls, Jellers
48:57
Speaker 19: is attracted both, while wight represents their attracted to the innocence.
49:04
Speaker 19: If you support this at all, you cannot say you
49:06
Speaker 19: care about children at all. I can't believe I even
49:11
Speaker 19: have to make a video about this. This is not
49:14
Speaker 19: the shit I marched for as an og lesbian.
49:18
Speaker 16: Mm hmm, nope.
49:21
Speaker 19: Sexual identity and sexual attraction are two different things. And
49:24
Speaker 19: by the way, Jeffrey, there is something. It's called the
49:27
Speaker 19: USA LGB Alliance Lesbian Gay Bisexual only we've been divorced
49:32
Speaker 19: from a TQ plus and it's going to stay that way.
49:36
Speaker 19: Get your wood chippers ready, because these folks are trying
49:38
Speaker 19: to get rights.
49:41
Speaker 3: So they're trying to get rights, and looks she's right.
49:44
Speaker 3: I was listening to a clip from a radio show
49:46
Speaker 3: out of Philadelphia where somebody called in. A caller called
49:50
Speaker 3: into like a morning radio show, not a talk radio
49:54
Speaker 3: show where they talk about the news and commentary like
49:57
Speaker 3: I do, but like a morning show, just like a
50:00
Speaker 3: fun morning show where they talk about music and you
50:03
Speaker 3: know what Oprah did over the weekend or whatever. And
50:07
Speaker 3: somebody called in and was making the case for why
50:12
Speaker 3: we should support the pedophiles. And kudos to the hosts
50:15
Speaker 3: of that show for saying, hold on a second, this
50:17
Speaker 3: sounds like you're trying to make excuses for pedophiles and
50:20
Speaker 3: we're not having it. Do we have that clip. All right,
50:24
Speaker 3: we do check it out Q one O two Radio, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
50:28
Speaker 3: I think this was twenty twenty four. Check this out.
50:32
Speaker 20: With IPCE if you don't know. That's International Pedophile and
50:36
Speaker 20: Child Emancipation and our goal is to abolish the stigmatization
50:41
Speaker 20: of people with pedophilia sexual interests in normalizing the potential
50:45
Speaker 20: role and moderating pedophiles emotional well being. I know that's
50:49
Speaker 20: a mouthful.
50:49
Speaker 2: Well, that's tar we get any further.
50:52
Speaker 4: Are we saying right now? Yeah, this is sounds disgusting.
50:56
Speaker 2: Are you saying you're a pedophile.
50:58
Speaker 20: No, I'm not saying that I'm a pedophile in the
51:01
Speaker 20: sense that I've never had sexual relations with a person
51:04
Speaker 20: under age. Accept because I'll illegal. Well, I just don't
51:08
Speaker 20: believe we should be shunting those in our community that
51:10
Speaker 20: have desires to engage in a romantic relationship with someone
51:13
Speaker 20: in a drastically different age group.
51:15
Speaker 3: So you're saying you support pedophiles.
51:18
Speaker 20: I'm saying I support love. And just because America views
51:21
Speaker 20: ages like eighteen as some sort of imaginary bar or
51:25
Speaker 20: a line in the sand for humans to engage romantic
51:28
Speaker 20: relationships doesn't mean it's right.
51:29
Speaker 15: So you don't see anything wrong with a tween year
51:33
Speaker 15: old dating a twelve year old.
51:34
Speaker 20: That's not what I'm saying. But listen, in Nigeria, the
51:37
Speaker 20: age of consent is eleven. It's fourteen in other countries
51:41
Speaker 20: like Brazil Colombia. If we're taking them, excuse me, if
51:46
Speaker 20: we're taking a month as a country to showcase our
51:48
Speaker 20: pride for other communities of sexual explorations, then I think
51:52
Speaker 20: we should add the letter P, which is just as
51:54
Speaker 20: important as the LGB and T. I work with IPCEE.
52:00
Speaker 20: If you don't know, that's International Pedophile and Child Emancipation.
52:05
Speaker 3: Now, this woman, I thought wholeheartedly that this was a prank,
52:10
Speaker 3: that they were doing this to push the troll. It
52:15
Speaker 3: turns out that there are really people like this. And
52:20
Speaker 3: I've played this clip several times on the show over
52:23
Speaker 3: the last year or two to make the point that
52:28
Speaker 3: it seems like it's crazy and fake and wild to
52:31
Speaker 3: you and to me, But there are people out there,
52:34
Speaker 3: excuse me, that eat this whole thing up. They're truly
52:39
Speaker 3: out there. These are the same people that they'll pick
52:42
Speaker 3: up any cause, any cause, just to go against the grain,
52:46
Speaker 3: you know, oh no, because they love the underdog. We
52:50
Speaker 3: can't be this dumb and we can't be this supportive
52:53
Speaker 3: of evil. We've got to pay attention to what's going on.
52:58
Speaker 3: So kudos to Jada and Ivy for calling things as
53:02
Speaker 3: they are and standing on his business. Ten does down
53:08
Speaker 3: is what I believe, and I'm not moving. Good for you, sir,
53:12
Speaker 3: because the minute you move is the minute you sound
53:14
Speaker 3: like this woman here from Icpe. How crazy is that? Anyway? More?
53:20
Speaker 3: To come straight ahead, I am Rich Valdez.

Speaker 3: the Lord, you'll find it there. Anyway, I wanted to
56:56

Speaker 3: Roku TV, but some people want it without commercials or
57:19
Speaker 3: a little bit of extra behind the scenes action or
57:21
Speaker 3: one on one direct access to ask me questions or
57:25
Speaker 3: have conversations or get some advice or whatever the case is.
57:28
Speaker 3: So we're going to have all those different tiers available,
57:31
Speaker 3: Valdez VIP or Platinum VIP, and of course you can
57:37
Speaker 3: always sign up at the Amigo level, which is free.
57:41
Speaker 3: It's free to be a patriot, no issues there. And
57:44
Speaker 3: of course your calls are always welcomed. I did not
57:47
Speaker 3: even take a look at the calls today, so that
57:50
Speaker 3: is on me. I apologize. Sometimes I take a look
57:52
Speaker 3: and I see them, and let me tell you. We
57:54
Speaker 3: get a number of calls from Arizona. John Jacob Jingleheimer
57:57
Speaker 3: Schmidt gives us a good out of calls as well.
58:00
Speaker 3: Good to hear from you, John, thank you for your
58:03
Speaker 3: kind words. We get calls from Canada from New York,
58:07
Speaker 3: but not everybody leaves a quality voice message or voice note,
58:11
Speaker 3: making it difficult to play it on the air. And
58:14
Speaker 3: given the unpredictable nature of exactly when I'll be recording,
58:18
Speaker 3: I'm not able to take many of your calls live.
58:21
Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean that you can't, you know, call
58:24
Speaker 3: and say I think that blah blah blah and blah
58:26
Speaker 3: blah blah is blah blah blah. And if that's what
58:29
Speaker 3: you think, then that's exactly what we'll put on the
58:31
Speaker 3: air and I'll give you my response to that. So
58:33
Speaker 3: eight seven seven Valdez one is the number for that. Anyway,
58:36
Speaker 3: This is where I say a start, a proxima, take care,
58:38
Speaker 3: good night, and God bless you America. I am Rich Valdez,
58:42
Speaker 3: and this is America.
58:45
Speaker 5: This is America.
1:00:00
Speaker 18: Yousssssss
