  Speaker 3: Is America, your late-night national town hall conversation. If you

  Speaker 3: want to share your opinion, give me a call, 877-VALDEZ-1, 877-825-3371.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Share your thoughts. Drop me a recording. We'll pop it
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: right into the show. And I want to start with
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve voting today and finally
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: making a decision on interest rates. Check this out.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: The Federal Reserve is leaving interest rates unchanged. Watching market movement,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: it's been up for most of the session in anticipation
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: of this. Markets widely believed, I think it was about
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: 92 percent chance that they're going to be unchanged. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: now the big guessing game is what happens at the
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: next Fed meeting and how it affects your money.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: That is the decision.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: The Federal Reserve.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: And that is the decision indeed. Federal Reserve voting 10
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: to 2 to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged from 3.75
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to 4.0 percent. No hike, no cut. Markets just got
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: a little breathing room. And the rest of us got
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: one less thing to target at the moment. Other big
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: story today. Flavio Bolsonaro, he was able to make it
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out of Brazil. And guess where he landed? Right here
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: in Miami. After his flight was grounded, he made it
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: through Argentina and Ecuador. And listen, the left will jail
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: you every single time they can. They will try to
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: destroy you if you get in the way of their agenda.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: They charged him with money laundering, corruption, all of this
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: right after his election loss. A result that surprised a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: lot of Brazilians, right? Because he was just up in
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: the runoff. The United States granted him and his family visas.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I've actually met Flavio Bolsonaro. I met him and his
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: brother at CPAC earlier this year. I met his dad
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: and Eduardo at CPAC some years ago. when his dad
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: ran for president. And the father is now in jail,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: right now, for challenging the radical left. And the guy
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: that they used to beat him, quote-unquote, Lula da Silva,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: that guy was in jail. And they did everything they could,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: every legal maneuver they could to get him out, got
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: him out of jail, and let him run for president.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And that's who they put back in, an actual jailbird.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: They took the guy out of jail, Lula da Silva,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Ran him for president, the left. He's a socialist. He wins.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: And then they do what they do. And they put
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the America first or Brazil first, the populist president, the conservative,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the one that was aligned with Trump, Bolsonaro, Jair Bolsonaro.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: They put him in jail. Now they're trying to put
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: his kids in jail. Sound familiar? That's right. Sounds like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: exactly what they try to do to El Trumpito. But
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: that is exactly what happened. Freaking crazy. Really is. But
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Flavio Bolsonaro landing in Brazil using an Italian passport because
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: his ancestry, take two, his ancestry traces back to Italy,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Bolsonaro with a Z, and he was allowed to make
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: way to Argentina using his Italian passport to land safely
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: in Florida. And listen to the warm reception that he
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: got right at the private airport in Florida. Check this out.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: This is a private hangar, people coming up to him,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: wearing free Bolsonaro shirts. Lots of people in there, looks
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: like friends, close family. Lots of people wearing Brazilian gear.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: And this party.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Only gets bigger in Florida.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: The news gets out that he's in Florida. And before
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you know it, people are flooding the streets in Florida.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Because why? Because they are prepared to welcome their leader,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: their leader in exile. And I think it's fantastic. Listen
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to this. This is an actual block party. All right,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: so what we're watching right here, I'd say about, I
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: don't know, this has got to be a minimum of 100,000
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: people that are flooding the beach to celebrate Flavio Bolsonaro.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: And he says that he will continue to lead the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: opposition from the United States, this is a very, very
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: big deal, right? Let me read you the letter. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: have it in English here, courtesy of my friend Roger Stone,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: who translated it. And he says, I address the Brazilian
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: people and the international community as Brazil's leader. First and foremost,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I would like to thank President Millet for his courage.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: his sense of justice and respect for the law, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: President Trump and the wonderful American people for welcoming me.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: This is a land of freedoms and of brothers and
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: sisters who share the same values as the good people
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: of my country. President Trump is a great defender of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: freedom of expression. On Sunday night, I watched in disbelief
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: as electoral fraud unfolded before my eyes. The illegitimate and
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: illegal actions of Lula's former lawyer allowed a mathematical impossibility
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to become a reality, with Lula gaining more than 10
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: million votes between the first and second rounds, a ruling
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: by the Federal Supreme Court overriding the jurisdiction of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Superior Electoral Court, extending voting at the very last moment,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and the order only arriving at the legal closing time,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: when the polls had already closed. Voters were subjected to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: different rules. So far, the electoral court has confined itself
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to defending the extension of voting hours without providing even
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: a single credible answer. And these are grounds for invalidation.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: But that's not the only problem. Throughout the campaign, There
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: was abuse of political and economic power, as well as
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the use of government resources to favor re-election. These are
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: serious acts, expressly prohibited by law, that justify disqualifying the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Lula-Alckmin ticket. The regime's response to my challenge came swiftly.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: As though following a previously devised plan, seven minutes after
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: this repugnant electoral fraud, the judge who was implicated in
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: a massive corruption scandal directly named in the investigation, he
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: used to try to confiscate my passports. And he would
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: very likely be in prison if they'd not prevented me
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: from taking office. He set the machinery of the regime's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: political persecution in motion. Given that he was legally barred
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: from the outset of entirely lacking in impartiality, to initiate
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: any judicial proceedings against me. His mere participation in procedural
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: acts demonstrates the scale of the arbitrary nature and illegality
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: of what's now underway. It was not my intention to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: leave my homeland, but now I know exactly where this
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: is heading. This is a classic playbook of any coup d'etat,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: the political persecution that began with my father, former President
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Jair Bolsonaro, and spread to thousands of other ordinary patriotic Brazilians,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and even American citizens, has a single objective, to silence
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: anyone who disagrees with the authoritarian regime established in Brazil
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: through a Supreme Court captured by the Workers' Party, which
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: is a criminal organization. To be clear, there is no
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: arrest warrant against me, because I have committed no crime.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: What exists is a politically motivated witch hunt. intended to
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: hold me hostage and use me as a tool of
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: blackmail to protect Supreme Court justices from impeachment. Here is
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the persecution's script. Passport confiscation, an electronic ankle monitor, censorship,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: house arrest, a sham trial, and finally, a politically motivated conviction.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I will not subject my family to this, and my
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: country does not deserve to endure this international disgrace again.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Faced with the political weaponization of Brazil's justice system, I
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: brought my family to the United States, where we are safe.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Once again, I thank President Trump and the American government
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: for welcoming us and providing the legal protections we no
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: longer have in Brazil. I want to make this clear.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I did not flee Brazil. I left for Brazil's sake.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I left an authoritarian regime so that I could be
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the leader my people deserve. Because silenced, imprisoned and censored
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: As my father is, I could not provide that leadership.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: And we won't be left with the institutional theater of
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: an emasculated opposition controlled by a Supreme Court filled with
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the regime's servants. I'm not the first person who has
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: had to fight for his own country from abroad. Rui
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Barbosa went into exile for confronting Floriano Peixoto's arbitrary rule
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: and from there continued defending the law and freedom Charles
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: de Gaulle led Free France from London, sentenced to death
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: by the Vichy regime, and returned to liberate his country.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: José Martí organized the struggle for Cuban independence from New York.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: In Venezuela, Juan Guaidó and Edmundo González had to leave
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: the country for confronting the Chavista dictatorship. And María Corina Machado,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: despite being persecuted, refused to legitimize the fraud and became
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a global symbol of democratic resistance. All of them were
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: treated as criminals by the regimes they confronted. History has
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: called them something else. Patriots is what history calls them.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: This is only the beginning of our struggle for democracy,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: human rights, and freedom in Brazil. I want to tell
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: not only my 60 million voters, but the Brazilian people
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: that I am the leader and that the criminals who
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: stole Brazil's election are part of a criminal organization that
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: has imposed a tyranny. You want a change, and I
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: will not abandon you. I will be our nation's voice
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: and its free leadership. To Brazil's institutions, I make this appeal.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: This madness must end. Brazil today is engulfed in legal chaos, corruption,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: and political persecution, in which the opposition is afraid to speak,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: and a former president's family is treated as an enemy
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: of the state. No nation can live in peace or
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: prosper this way. There is still time to restore the
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: balance among the branches of government and give Brazilians back
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the confidence they've lost. To the international community, I ask,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: do not normalize what is happening in Brazil. What is
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: happening in my country today is not normal and cannot
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: be treated as normal. The senators, representatives, and governors whom
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I helped elect and especially to my candidate for the
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: President of the Senate, Rogerio Marino, I know that today
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: you lack the freedom necessary to carry out your political
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: duties fully. Therefore, I will lead the opposition from here
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: in the United States. I will say what you cannot
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: say there. I will take the risks you cannot take.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: And to you who voted for me and dream of change,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: we are not defeated and we are not alone. This
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: is only the beginning of our struggle for democracy, human rights,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and freedom in Brazil. In the coming days, I will
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: address the Brazilian people regularly, and we will present a
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: strategy to mobilize the opposition and the immense popular support
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: we have. Through every peaceful and legitimate means to prevent
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Lula from consolidating a dictatorial regime in Brazil, I ask
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: each of you to stand firm and never give up.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I left Brazil, but I have not abandoned the Brazilian people.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: This struggle did not end on October 25th. It will
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: only end when Brazil becomes a free country again. And
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: that day will come. May God bless Brazil. Flavio Bolsonaro.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Great letter and excellent sentiment. This is the exact type
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: of theater that they were trying to put into play.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Right here in the United States.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: They wanted to jail Don Jr. They wanted to jail
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: El Trompito. And now Jair Bolsonaro is in jail. And
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: what happens with this is people get excited, right? This
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: is the exact brand of political theater that the left
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: would love to see here.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: In the U.S.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And let's be honest. Some of us on the right
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: would be happy to play the same game and lock
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: everybody up. Constitution goes out the window, the Bible goes
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: out the window, and it just becomes a contest of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: who can hurt the other side more. That's no bueno,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: my friends. This is why we have to be moored
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: by our faith, by our worldview. For me, it's Christ, Christianity.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: And for our country, from a governmental perspective, it's the Constitution.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to become Brazil. And Lord knows, a
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago, we almost did. Thankfully, Trump was
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: able to run again and win to prove that America
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: is stronger, that the people can speak, that we can
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: overcome the swampiness. We can overcome the corruption. We can
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: overcome the crazy. But this stuff is happening, right? We're
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: seeing it happen. Brazil has fallen. France has fallen. So
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: many huge cultural icons and destinations aren't what they once were.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And now we are six days away from losing even
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: more liberty. You've got to do whatever you can to
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: make sure that doesn't happen. Keep it locked right here
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: on Rich Valdez.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's brown, he's bald,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and he's breaking it down.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's so handsome.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: What's his name?
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Rich Valdez. All right, familia, there's thousands of people, thousands
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: of people outside the Ohio rally where President Trump will
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: be tonight, Wednesday night. We're actually just wrapping up. And
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: he's there to promote Vivek Ramaswamy and John Husted. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: moments ago, President Trump taking to the... podium to introduce
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: John Husted, who you may remember him talking about his
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: rear end a couple of days ago. All right, let's
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: just tap into this live.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Mr.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: President, for caring about Ohio and coming back again and
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: again and again to help us win this.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Election on Tuesday.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Is that right?
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: I have to tell a story about the president because
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: one day I got a call from the president and
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: the plant manager from Kenworth. And they said, hey, our
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: plant's in trouble. They said, we need a fair trade deal.
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Foreign companies are assembling trucks in Mexico, avoiding the costs
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: and undermining our plant here in Chillicothe. And if we
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: don't get a good trade deal, our plant's going to
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: have to close and all of those jobs will go away.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: They said, can we come see you and can we
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: talk to you quickly?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I said, sure.
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: Let's go have a conversation. Let's get this done.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: I want to know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: And so they told me about their plight. And I
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: called the president. And I called his team. And I
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: explained to them that this plant in Chillicothe, one of
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: the great iconic Brands in our nation, Kenworth, was in
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: jeopardy of going under if we didn't get them a
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: fair trade deal from people who were trying to undermine it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: And immediately, the president and his team took action, saved
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: the plant, and added 1,000 jobs right here in Chillicothe.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: And this is a great thing to remember. When Barack
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Obama was president, he said, all of those manufacturing jobs
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: are going.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: To go away.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: Let's get used to it. Since Donald Trump has been president,
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: in the last 20 months, we've added 10,000 manufacturing jobs right.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Here in Ohio.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: President, you have not let Ohio down.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Ohio will not.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: Let you down.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: We will win on Tuesday, won't we, folks? Let's go
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: get them!
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Outstanding. Packed crowd, like I said. Thousands of people that
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: are outside that can't get in. There's probably more people
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: outside than there are inside. Vivek Ramaswamy also taking the
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: podium to make his remarks. And it... This is just...
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Top notch, right? These people are excited. I'm really curious
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to see how Ohio turns out. Let's go to Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Mr.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: President. This election actually comes down to something very simple.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Same thing as the 2024 election. Who's actually going to
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: make your life better? And if you think about that,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: just honestly, not even the people who are in this room,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: even the independents watching at home, Who do you actually
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: think is going to make your life better?
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: The answer is so clear. In 2024, Donald Trump, you
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: voted for him to do that.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: You know what he did?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He passed the biggest tax relief package we've ever seen
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: in our history.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Big, beautiful bill.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: And I'm proud of that for our country.
• 20:05
  Speaker 9: Yep.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And you know what I'm gonna do after I'm elected?
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna pass the biggest property tax relief package Ohio
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: has ever seen in our history.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: Who's gonna make your life better?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: President Trump sealed the border to keep illegal immigrants out
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of the United States of America. And when I'm your
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: next governor, we're going to end the sanctuary cities to
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: keep illegal.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Immigrants out of the state of Ohio. It's that simple.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: We could go on all night, but it comes down
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: to a very simple premise. President Trump puts Americans first.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm going to put Ohioans first. We're going to fight
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: for you and we're going to win this election next
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. God bless you and your families.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: Get out and vote.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Let's get the job done and we're taking America and
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio to the next level. Thank you, Mr.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: President.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Again, that's Vivek Ramaswamy. And President Trump making his position very,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: very clear that Democrats are trying to stop this momentum
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: of the Trump train of the MAGA movement by fighting
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: voter ID. And this is something that I think is
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: common sense for most people, right? I think when you
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: tell most people and do this experiment yourself, just meet
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: people in your neighborhood and go, Hey, did you know
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: you can vote without ID? I think most people will
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: realize that, um, what would think that you need one
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: and cause they just don't remember. And, You know, people
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: think signing in the book, or maybe they know the guy.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: In New Jersey, you've got to sign in a book.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: But most people I ask, they're like, you mean I've
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: never had to show ID?
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: Huh.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I think most people think they're getting lucky. They're getting over.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: But let's go to the president on this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: That might be just as important as you guys getting elected.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: Think of it. Voter, they don't want voter ID, the Democrats.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: The Democrats, because their policies are separate. But they don't
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: want voter ID. Why? Because they want to cheat.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: They don't want.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Proof of citizenship. Think of it. Because they want to cheat.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: They don't want to... I talked to them. You know,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of them.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: Some are very friendly. I have good relationships with some.
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: I said, why don't you want voter ID? Well, I'd
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: rather not talk about that. There's nothing they can say.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: They want to cheat. It's very simple. So get out
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: and vote yes on issue three to require photo voter ID.
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: Thank you. I don't know, fellas. That might be just
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: as important as you.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: It might be. It might be just as important as
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: voter ID scenario. This is one of those things that
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: you've got to take super seriously. And listen, just for
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: a second, take yourself back to 2016, right? 2016, as
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Trump would say, 2016. Now, in 2016, Trump had the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: ultimate foil. Her name was Hillary Clinton. And he would
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: fill these stadiums with people chanting, lock her up, lock
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: her up. Well, let me tell you, that came back
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: to life tonight. Check this out.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: Therefore, because she used a fake name to be sworn in,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: I assume she must immediately resign from Congress.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Ilhan Omar.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: She comes from Somalia, which isn't even really a country.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: They have no government. All they have is crime and killing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: People kill each other. People walk around killing each other
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: all day. They don't even have a country. Therefore, because
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: she used a fake name.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: So he wants to lock her up. lock her up,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: lock her up. And listen, I get it. I get
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the appeal. I, I realize that people, um, don't like it. And, uh,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: nobody should, nobody should appreciate getting lied to by public officials.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: And I can't wait to hear what the outcome of this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think anything will happen, but I would love
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: to see something happen, right? I'm with the rest of
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: you guys. Fascinating to see how this is playing out
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: so much, uh, investigating. Speaking of investigating, uh, We've got
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: an update on Eric Swalwell. Listen to this one.
• 24:51
  Speaker 12: Officers conducting a raid on a Beverly Hills mansion in
• 24:55
  Speaker 12: connection to the investigation of former Democrat Congressman Eric Swalwell.
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: As you recall, Swalwell resigned from U.S. Congress and withdrew
• 25:05
  Speaker 12: from the California governor's race earlier this year. after multiple
• 25:09
  Speaker 12: accusations of sexual misconduct. He had been living inside this home.
• 25:13
  Speaker 12: A friend of his, a very wealthy friend, kicked him
• 25:16
  Speaker 12: out after those allegations of sex misconduct came up. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 12: that friend's home is where they are now. Senior National
• 25:24
  Speaker 12: Correspondent William Lajeunesse in L.A.
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: William.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: So we're not going to get into all of that,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: but that's what's going on. This is, again, an investigation.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: This raid had to do with prostitution. That is the
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: latest on what's going on with Eric Swalwell. One of
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: those pre-dawn raids. I'm watching the video of the SWAT trucks,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: armored personnel carriers, pulling up while it's still dark outside.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: And that is, in fact, exactly what happened with Eric Swalwell. Now,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to give you a little bit of an update there
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: on what's going on, let's go to this report from
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: ABC7 News in the Bay Area.
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: An FBI raid at the Beverly Hills mansion of a
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: billionaire donor tied to former East Bay Congressman Eric Swalwell.
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: Good evening.
• 26:08
  Speaker 13: Thank you for joining us. I'm Dan Ashley. And I'm
• 26:10
  Speaker 13: Amma Dates.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: It happened this morning at the L.A.
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: Mansion of Stephen Klubeck, a former donor and friend of Swalwell's.
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: ABC 7 Eyewitness News political reporter Monica Mann has been
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: following the story for us and is here with the
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: very latest on this, Monica.
• 26:22
  Speaker 14: Dananama, here you can see the FBI searching Stephen Klubeck's
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: Beverly Hills mansion. And we're learning more about his ties
• 26:29
  Speaker 14: to Eric Swalwell, as well as new details about the
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: state of the former congressman's office. New video shows federal
• 26:37
  Speaker 14: agents raiding the Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire Stephen Klubeck.
• 26:41
  Speaker 14: ABC News has learned the FBI executed a search warrant
• 26:45
  Speaker 14: Tuesday morning in connection with its criminal investigation into former
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: Congressman Eric Swalwell, who spent time at the home.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: They have to show probable cause that the place to
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: be searched, in this case the home, contains evidence of
• 26:58
  Speaker 11: a crime. Now, historically, homes are entitled to the greatest
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: protection under the law, the highest degree of privacy. So
• 27:05
  Speaker 11: judges don't normally sign off on those search warrants unless
• 27:09
  Speaker 11: the agents can show enough probable cause to do so.
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: Klubeck ran for California governor but dropped his bid and
• 27:15
  Speaker 14: spent a million dollars to support Swalwell. He claims he
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: later cut ties when Swalwell was accused of sexual assault.
• 27:23
  Speaker 14: The FBI has not said what agents were searching for
• 27:26
  Speaker 14: or whether anything was seized. The search comes two months
• 27:30
  Speaker 14: after federal agents seized Swalwell's iPhone and laptop at San
• 27:34
  Speaker 14: Francisco International Airport. Agents also searched his home in the Washington, D.C.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: area the following day. The FBI investigation is centered on
• 27:43
  Speaker 14: allegations of sexual assault, with a previous search warrant, citing
• 27:47
  Speaker 14: a federal civil rights law, and other possible offenses. Swalwell
• 27:51
  Speaker 14: resigned from Congress and ended his bid for governor in April.
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: He denies the allegations and has not been charged with
• 27:58
  Speaker 14: a crime back in the Bay area. It's a different
• 28:00
  Speaker 14: kind of fallout. When house officials came to clear Swalwell's
• 28:03
  Speaker 14: former district office here in Castro Valley, his successor, Congresswoman
• 28:07
  Speaker 14: Aisha Wahab tells me what they found was more reminiscent
• 28:10
  Speaker 14: of a frat house than a congressional office.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Now check this out. So he, the Bay area, right?
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I haven't been there in forever, but, um, Aisha Wahab
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: is who replaced him. And they say that they found
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the district office, this is a professional building, looking like
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: a frat house. Check this out.
• 28:35
  Speaker 14: Nerf guns, boxes of wine, and even a door decorated
• 28:38
  Speaker 14: with the words, studs only. But Wahab says house officials
• 28:41
  Speaker 14: also found military medals and congressional awards left behind. Her
• 28:46
  Speaker 14: office is now looking to return the awards to their recipients.
• 28:50
  Speaker 14: Swalwell's attorney says that he left immediately after resigning and
• 28:54
  Speaker 14: that clearing out the office was the responsibility of his
• 28:57
  Speaker 14: former staff. And Swalwell's attorney did send me a lengthy
• 29:01
  Speaker 14: statement about his former district office, but the attorney did
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: not respond to my request for comment on today's raid. Now,
• 29:08
  Speaker 14: Klubeck's attorneys told us that he was not home when
• 29:12
  Speaker 14: the FBI searched his mansion, adding that he continues to
• 29:15
  Speaker 14: have faith in the judicial process of this country.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Dan, Ama.
• 29:19
  Speaker 13: Monica, thank you.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Monica and Dan and everybody else. Listen,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: this mansion, by the way, looks like a small city.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is not, if you're thinking 10 bedrooms,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: this looks like it's 20. Easy. I mean, this thing
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: is huge. Looks like half a city block. Talk about mansion.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: It's like a complex, like a compound. swalwell's living it
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: up and apparently living it up in his office as
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: well so as we get more news on uh eric
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: swalwell and his fallout from fang fang to 90210 i
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: will keep you posted but man what an interesting turn
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: of events for eric swalwell anyway straight ahead The latest
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: fallout on what happened with Ambassador Mike Waltz and the
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: beef he had with the Cubanos, that's coming up. Plus,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: we're going to get into a couple of other things
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: about these FBI officials. I don't know if you remember
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: them who were charged with lying about Hunter Biden's laptop.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Nikki Flores and Bradley Benavidez. Well, there's an update in
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: their case as well. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: President Donald J.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Trump, Mr.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: President, welcome to the program, sir.
• 30:52
  Speaker 15: Well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: I know you very well, and I listen, but I
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: have a lot of people that listen, and they love
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: your show, and I appreciate it very much.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you, America. Welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: company tonight. It's 9.24 p.m. and it's six days until
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: the midterm elections. Meanwhile, they're still counting votes in Israel.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing off against challenger Gadi Eisenkot.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: And the New York Times is still saying there is
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: no sign of a clear winner as of 40 seconds ago. Again,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: it's 9.24 p.m. on Wednesday night, we are six days
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: from the U.S. elections. And here's a quick report from
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: The New York Times. The New York Times, the great lady,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: they've got the up-to-date stuff here on the Israeli election.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Listen to this.
• 31:45
  Speaker 16: I got a job.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: We ran a good campaign. I think we convinced the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Israeli people.
• 31:57
  Speaker 14: I feel like the prime minister has done better than
• 32:00
  Speaker 14: some of the pre-campaign polls were suggesting.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: And both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ghani Isinkat, who
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: believed in the opposition, they gave triumphant speeches, each of
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: them pretty much saying, hey, I won this thing tonight.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: actually winning that thing for them. And they're having parties and.
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: Everything, so.
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: The Israeli people don't want another term with Netanyahu, but
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: we'll see who will.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Form a coalition.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I believe he'll win. The election's God willing. And this
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: is a big, big turnout with even the Arab parties.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Ben-Gabir.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Some of the Arab voters said they hoped they.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Could oust the current leadership.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: The Arabs voted.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Upon the actions.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Of Smotrich, Ben-Gavir, Netanyahu. All the injustice that still comes
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: upon them is what this man was saying. Exit polls
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: suggest that the Arab parties may have won enough seats
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: to play a key role in forming the next government.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Netanyahu has effectively ruled in this coalition, and Eisenkot is
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: not interested in forming a government that way, but they
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: may not have a choice. It's all about these coalitions.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: So as we get more news on that, I'll keep
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: you posted, but as of right now, Now that now
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: that now that not a damn thing. But we've got
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: an update from what's going on with Ambassador Mike Walls,
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: because last night he was on the Sean Hannity show
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: and made an announcement about what was going to happen.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Listen to this.
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: For I came on tonight. Secretary Rubio signed the paperwork
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: to eject the diplomat that thought he could, the Cuban diplomat,
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: the first secretary of their delegation who shoved and tried
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: to assault one of our American diplomats.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: He's gone.
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: He is going to be on a plane to Havana
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: within the next 24 hours. You lay a hand on
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: an American here in the United States, President Trump, Secretary Rubio,
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: and myself, we're not going to stand for it. Just
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: before I came on tonight.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Excellent. So that was last night following the melee, I'll
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: call it, right? The Revolu, El Bochinche, que se formó
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: at the United Nations conference.
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: Uh.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: all that drama you saw coming out of the united
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: nations yesterday uh... that was uh... ambassador mike walsh his
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: comments on the fox news channel last night fast-forward to
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: today he made his announcement right inside uh... that the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: united nations and i think we have a clip of
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: that as well there it is going to play.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: In response the regimes so-called diplomats responded by pounding their
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: desks screaming across this chamber, storming the podium, not respecting
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: the sanctity of this institution, and even assaulting an American diplomat.
• 35:23
  Speaker 9: And by the way, that conduct is in violation of
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: the host country agreement, and that so-called diplomat today will
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: be put on a plane back to Havana. It is unacceptable.
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: If you lay a hand on an American diplomat in
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: this body, there will be consequences.
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: And in response.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listen. Thank you, Ambassador. I think that the
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: response here was appropriate.
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Those guys got out of pocket. And honestly, I think
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: that's the diplomatic response. I think there should be more
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: of a response. I think it's about time that President Trump,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: you know, gets it in gear over here with these people,
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: the Cubans, and says, hey, you know, I got a
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: lot going on. Listen, I'm sure President Trump is a
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: wiser man than me. No question. But in my non-infinite wisdom,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: in my naivete, I would absolutely pursue a stronger posture
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: with Iran. I would absolutely pursue a stronger posture with Cuba.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: And I would do it so that by election day,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: we can say, yep, yep, took care of it. We're
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: all done. Now, I know that's not something that is
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: likely to happen, but that would be my choice. And again,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: this is why when people say, you should run for office,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I tell them, man, I'm running away from the office
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: because I would make rash decisions. I know I would.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: What's the use of having all those aircraft carriers and
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: cool fighter jets and the best top gun pilots if
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: you can't use them? If you can't say, hey, you
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: guys are acting up and I'm tired of negotiating. I'm
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: going to make this happen real quick and get it
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: over with. Let's get this world globe back on track
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: so we're not paying what we're paying for gas prices
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: so people aren't worried about getting bombed by the Houthi rebels.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: That's where I'm at. I'm not criticizing Trump either. I'm
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: sure he has way more information than I do. But
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: from my perspective, I say finish the job, sir. We
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: support you. And one of the best ways to make
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: America great again is to eliminate Iran and liberate Cuba.
• 37:32
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: At least that's my thinking. You let me know what
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: your thoughts are. 877-381... No, that's Mark's number. My number, 877-VALDEZ1,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: if you want to join me. And we will leave
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: some time at the end today for a little open
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: phone America. We have a few people that are in
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: the queue. And if you want to be in the queue,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: you know what to do. 825-3371 is our phone number, right? 877-VALDEZ1. Now,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I was going to take a pause here, but I
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: think there's something else that I wanted to discuss. Oh, yes,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: it's those two FBI agents... that were charged with lying
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: about the Hunter Biden laptop. And I will get into
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: that in the next segment for sure, because there was
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: some big news on that today. But before I do,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to kind of put a pin in
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: our discussion here about what Secretary Rubio did in response
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: to the attack on the American diplomat that occurred while
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Ambassador Walz was on the podium at the world stage.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: in the United Nations building here in New York. And
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed paperwork ordering the expulsion
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: of a Cuban diplomat from the United States following that
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: confrontation at the UN. And that's good stuff. The official's
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: name is Richard Tour de la Concepcion. That's, you know,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: it's funny. My buddy Ruben the Cuban that I've talked
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: about on this program, that's actually his last name, Concepcion.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: I wonder if they're related. I got a column about
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: this one. Anyway, He is the first secretary of Cuba's
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: mission to the United Nations. He's accused of shoving an
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: American diplomat and trying to grab his phone during a
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: clash at the UN headquarters. I saw that and I
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: played that for you yesterday. That was the clip that
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get to where they get into this altercation. Anyway,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: he's gone and he's getting flown back out to Cuba.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: And as you heard the ambassador say, you lay a
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: hand on an American in the United States, and President Trump,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Secretary Rubio, and Ambassador Waltz are going to make sure
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: that you're out of here. Get the rest of these
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: guys out of here and get this thing handled. Anyway,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: I'm happy that they're getting tossed out of here. I
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: love the Cuban people, by the way. I think they're fantastic,
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: but I don't care where you come from, what color
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: you are, what your background is, if you're a commie,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: I'm probably not going to get along with you. Pardon me.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: It's a little late and I get a case of
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: the yawns every now and again. I got to hit
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: that yawn button. But yeah, I don't really get along
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: with the commies. I don't know if you do. Anyway,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: I want you to hold tight right here. Keep it
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: locked because we're coming right back. We got a couple
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: more things to cover. We're going to talk about those
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: FBI agents and another story that I got that's freaking wild.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I don't want you to miss it. Don't go anywhere.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdez.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: head of hair in podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: All right, America, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: this Wednesday night, six days away from the midterm elections.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: And just last night we heard news about these two
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: FBI agents that obscured and did something nefarious and tampering
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: with the Hunter Biden laptop, not being totally forthright and
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: honest with regard to that. And you would think, man,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: that's a big deal. Yeah, we all did, right? President Trump,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: of course, was asked that question just outside of Air
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Force One just yesterday. And here's what he had to say,
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: accompanied by Secretary RFK Jr. and the head of Medicare
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: and Medicaid services, Dr.
• 41:30
  Speaker 15: Oz.
• 41:32
  Speaker 18: Two former FBI agents are officials are facing felony charges
• 41:37
  Speaker 18: tied to Hunter Biden. Do you think that the FBI
• 41:41
  Speaker 18: were protecting the Bidens before the 2020 election?
• 41:44
  Speaker 15: I guess I don't know exactly what it is, but
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: I heard they were arrested or charged and I heard
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: there were bad people. Yeah, the crooked people that, you know,
• 41:54
  Speaker 15: they are dirty cops like Comey.
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: Comey's a dirty cop.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Comey's a dirty cop. He always has a good tie-in. Well,
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: that was yesterday. Now, here's today.
• 42:08
  Speaker 17: A federal judge dismissed new obstruction charges today against two
• 42:12
  Speaker 17: former FBI officials for their roles in investigations into Hunter Biden.
• 42:17
  Speaker 17: In a court hearing today, the judge scolded Justice Department
• 42:20
  Speaker 17: lawyers for adding the charges overnight without a judge's sign-off.
• 42:25
  Speaker 17: Nikki Flores and Bradley Benavides are still charged with lying
• 42:28
  Speaker 17: to Congress during 2023 testimony, allegedly playing down their knowledge
• 42:33
  Speaker 17: about a laptop belonging to former President Biden's son. Their
• 42:37
  Speaker 17: lawyers have slammed the charges, blaming prosecutors for what they
• 42:40
  Speaker 17: called outrageous government conduct. A federal judge dismissed... Thank.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: You, federal judge. And wait, it gets better, right? This
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: is the swamp doing what the swamp does, right? Well,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: guess what? Here's what these FBI agents that were charged
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: with lying about the Hunter Biden laptop, here's what they
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: told ABC News. They're now accusing the Department of Justice
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: of serious abuse. A magistrate judge blasted the judge, as
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: you just heard in that report, the Justice Department attorneys
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: during a hearing Tuesday after the department put in an
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: overnight court filing, added a charge of obstruction for two
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: charges of lying to Congress that were brought Friday against
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: the two former FBI agents who investigated Hunter Biden. The
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Justice Department on Friday charged Nikki Flores, a former deputy
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: assistant director of FBI's counterintelligence division, and Bradley Benavidez, another
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: former senior counterintelligence official, with allegedly making false statements to
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Congress stemming from a probe into whether investigators in the
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: lead up to the 2020 election sought to suppress or
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: discredit the veracity of the material on the laptop of
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: former President Joe Biden's son, which included embarrassing photos and videos,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: as we've discussed plenty of times. Now, the Department of
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Justice early yesterday, Tuesday, announced that they've added obstruction of
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: a congressional proceeding charge. But in a contentious hearing, Magistrate
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Judge Zia Faruqi slammed the Justice Department for the overnight filing,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: which prosecutors posted to the case docket without receiving a
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: sign-off from a judge. The FBI and both the agents
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: who swore out the complaint also didn't include a signature.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: So the judge says, I think they should have filed nothing,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: said Judge Faruqi. They never had complaints filed on their
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: record that are unsigned waiting for a judge to make
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: a probable cause finding. I think that is inappropriate and
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: it harms the defendant. I'm frustrated that I got it
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: in the middle of the night, but I'm much more
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: concerned that it's not filed on the public record.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: The U.S.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Attorney in the hearing, John Borchert, struggled repeatedly as Faruqi
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: asked him to explain the government's conduct, which the judge
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: said was unlike any case he'd ever seen in the
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: history of a D.C. district court. Judge Faruqi explained, ultimately
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: granted the request from Flores and Benavidez and their attorneys
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: to strike the amended complaint from the docket and said
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: he would continue Tuesday's hearing to determine whether prosecutors established
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: probable cause in their initial complaint that was filed last week. So,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Judge tosses it out, and on top of that, he's
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: yelling at everybody, saying that they made a mess of
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: what's going on. because somebody forgot a signature or whatever. Listen,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: you got to cross those T's dot those eyes because
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: it's way too much going on, right? Way too much
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: going on in the, uh, in this case where people
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: walking away and whatnot. So I thought that was pretty interesting. Now, uh,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: let's just sit on that for a minute. And when
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: we come back, I'm going to get into this story
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: that I think is just bizarre. And, um, I'll tell
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: you more about it when we return. Don't go anywhere.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdez, and don't move a muscle.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: All right, familia, welcome back. Rich Valdez keeping you company tonight,
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: Wednesday night, six days away from the midterm elections, 2026 midterms.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: And I want to get into this story that I
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: thought was just bizarre. That's my word of the week, bizarre.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, every now and again, you see these things
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: and it's like, man, that is some scary stuff. I
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: don't want to have to deal with that, right? I
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: don't want to have to deal with some of the
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: crazy that's going on in this world. But This is
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: a church, a real-life church, with a pastor and the
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: first lady of the church, the pastor's wife. It's, I guess,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: an evangelical denomination. I don't have all of the information
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: about it. I just know that this particular church believes
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: in stuff that many people that call themselves Christians do
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: not believe in. I want you to pay close attention
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: to what they're talking about. This is wild. Play the tape.
• 47:47
  Speaker 10: And what we would call a polygynous marriage. My husband,
• 47:51
  Speaker 10: our prophet, he has a second wife.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: You know, prophet and I, you know, we are living
• 47:58
  Speaker 10: even right now in what we would call a polygynous marriage.
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: Say that again? We are living right now in what
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: we would call a polygynous marriage. She means polygamous. But
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: I get the point. She calls him prophet. She says,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: the prophet and I have, listen to this. Our prophet,
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: he has a second wife. My husband, the prophet, has
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: a second wife. Are you listening to this?
• 48:23
  Speaker 10: Y'all know her. Y'all love her.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Y'all benefit from her ministry every week.
• 48:31
  Speaker 10: And so I just want to take this time and
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: just as a pleasure of mine to introduce to y'all
• 48:36
  Speaker 10: Prophet's wife and my sister in marriage, Minister Shekayla.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Minister Shekayla. So this woman comes out.
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 48:53
  Speaker 17: Almost knocked me down.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: And Minister Shekayla. is, again, the second wife of the prophet.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: And they think this is cool. And I don't know
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: if this is a Christian denomination. It's called kingdom marriage.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: I don't see... I don't know what it's called. Life work.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a... Jesus-centered church. I
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: would suspect it's not. But whatever it is that they believe,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: they believe that it's okay to be married. Listen to more.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: This is so amazing. I bet it is so amazing
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: for you, Mr. Prophet Man.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: Just a few words.
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: From Minister Shikala to see whatever she wants to say.
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon, everyone. Cats out the bag.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: The cats out the bag.
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: Elephants in the room.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: First, I want to just give honor to God, you know,
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: who is leading us and guiding us. And then my
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: husband and then also my sister in marriage. It's I
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: want to speak to the fact that I know people
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: have questions. People have comments and concerns. And one thing that,
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: You're damn right. We got questions and concerns. That's putting
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: it mildly.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: What I want to address is that.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: It is amazing to know that this is the will
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: of God and to live it.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: That's the will of God? I mean, listen, I've read
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the Bible. at least once, and I read it all
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: the time, you know, in small parts, small spurts, I've
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: yet to see where you can take multiple wives. The
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: only thing I've seen that raises an eyebrow for me
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: today is what Hunter Biden did. And if your brother dies,
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: you can take his wife. It's actually a mandate. And
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: Biden did that and it was creepy, right? And listen,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I'm not here to judge, but I'm just sharing my
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: observation about that. But I don't see how this is
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: something we're supposed to do.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: I have not been slighted, not one bit, and I
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: have gained so much. I mean, I have gained so much,
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: and I've learned so much from Pastor. I mean, he's
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: poured so much into me.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: I bet he's poured a lot into you.
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: To our family, and we are a family.
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: We don't walk around like individuals fighting, beeping, but it
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: is a family dynamic in the image of what God
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: wants to put.
• 51:27
  Speaker 17: In the earth.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: And there are people who have known for some time,
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: and I just want to say thank y'all for supporting us,
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: for loving us, for praying for us, for fighting for us,
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: for warring with us. I mean, it has been a journey,
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: and though it has been a learning experience, it keeps
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: getting better.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, it keeps getting better. The gift that keeps
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: on giving. A polygamous marriage in a church.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Ay, bendito.
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: It just keeps on getting better.
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: God just keeps increasing us, keeps blessing us, keeps taking
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: us through the journey, and we're learning and we're growing.
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: And we've had the pleasure of just even impacting.
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: So many other people around the world. There's been people
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: in different states that has reached out like, this is
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: our life. We want to live the life of God.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: There's been people who's been kicked out of churches because
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: they live this life and they don't have anywhere to go.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been kicked out because it's called living in sin, ma'am. Unbelievable.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: It's also illegal in most states.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: Worship. They don't have anywhere to be vulnerable.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: They don't have anywhere to go and pray and talk
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: to talk to God because people shun them and shun
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: it so much.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: But God's word is real. God's word is true. We
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: are a strong family.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, we are a strong family.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: We benefit from her worship. We benefit from the revelation
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: in the word. We benefit because it's a house of prayer.
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: God uses us to pray, uses me to pray. I mean,
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: it is just such an amazing thing to just be
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: a light.
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: And somebody, it has to start somewhere. And we're blazing
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: a trail.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: Amen.
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: Catching on fire. So, yes, God bless y'all.
• 53:01
  Speaker 7: I love y'all.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: That is amazing. Can we clap one more time for Mr.
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: Shaquille O'Neal?
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: Can we clap one more time for Minister Shikala? Man,
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: let me tell you. This is a prostitution of the gospel. If,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: in fact, this is a Christian church. I don't know
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: what kind of church this is. I would hope that
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: it's not. But irrespective of its denomination and its tradition,
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: this isn't the way. I know the Mormons believe in this.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: I know the Muslims believe in this. apparently these people
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: believe in this. And I'm not necessarily against this. I
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: am for what I believe the Bible has called us
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: to do. Now, yes, in the Bible, in the Old Testament,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: there's talk about people having multiple wives. I get that.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I know that's a tradition that they do. It's just
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: one I wasn't raised around. And I have a tough
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: time keeping a girlfriend, let alone a wife, let alone
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: more than one. I don't know. Maybe that's the challenge
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: for me is that's the problem. You're trying to, You're
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: putting all the pressure on one woman, Rich. You need
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: a sister wife to help her out. My sister in marriage, right,
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: as she called her. I don't know. This is crazy stuff.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: If you want to chime in on this topic or
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: any of the other topics we have, I'm happy to
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: get into this. There's stuff we talked about last night.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: I'd love to hear from you. I want to hear
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: from you. Give me a call.
• 54:27
  Speaker 16: Hi, this is Charlie from Worcester County, New York.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, Charlie. Welcome to the show. Go right ahead.
• 54:34
  Speaker 16: And I'd like to speak about AOC.
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind about AOC? All out crazy. Go
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: right ahead. Make your point.
• 54:42
  Speaker 16: Make a point that she is not a true New Yorker,
• 54:47
  Speaker 16: and how people don't point that out. That's been a
• 54:51
  Speaker 16: problem since day one, that she's like, not only to
• 54:54
  Speaker 16: the community she represents, but.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and not to cut you off, but
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: what's interesting about this, Charlie, is that she... has kind
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: of made herself out to be somebody that was born
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: in a hospital in the Bronx, but grew up in Westchester.
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: And listen, I was born in a hospital in Brooklyn,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: lived in Brooklyn until I was about 12. And before
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: I turned 13, I think I moved to Jersey. And
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: you are able to absorb some of the culture. I'm
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: not sure that she was able to absorb that culture
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: from Yorktown Heights, which is a wonderful neighborhood, by the way.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: If I had to raise kids, I'd much rather raise
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: them in Yorktown Heights than in Brooklyn or the Bronx.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: But that's what she chose to do. And it's just
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: one of those things where you're calling out her hypocrisy
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: or her falsehood here.
• 55:42
  Speaker 16: But just never having actually a job as well.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Ah, yeah. Well, not only she did not have a job,
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: I think she was a bartender, so that might not
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: be fair. But what's interesting about it is that even
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: in the job she has now, she's never even passed
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: a single piece of legislation. And I think that's pretty wild.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 56:04
  Speaker 16: I think just a total fraud. Anyway, I'm trying to
• 56:08
  Speaker 16: get on the show to ask you that question. I
• 56:10
  Speaker 16: don't know if it's possible.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. And I'm happy to talk about that
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: because ultimately, Charlie, I think what happens here is you've
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: got AOC all out crazy, my least favorite congresswoman from
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: the Bronx and Queens, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And you're right to
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: call her out for being a fake, a phony, and
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: a fraud. Now, as far as never having a job,
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: she never had political experience, but Neither did Donald Trump, right?
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: He wasn't even so much his dog catcher. And look
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: at the tremendous president he turned out to be, not once,
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: but twice so far. And, you know, I just think
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: of how bad things would be if anybody's crying about,
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: you know, tightening their belt right now and going through
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: some tough times financially. Imagine if he wasn't the president.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: Imagine if Kamala Harris was in office. My goodness. Think
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: about that for a second. Charlie, my brother, thank you
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: for your call. I appreciate it. Let us continue. All right,
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: let's go to Ohio and check in with Arthur. Arthur's
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: in Ohio. Give me a call. 877-381... No, wrong number. Valdez1.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Go right ahead. Yes, go right ahead.
• 57:16
  Speaker 9: Yeah, hi.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: My name is Arthur.
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: I'm calling from Dayton, Ohio.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, Arthur. What's going on? What do you want to
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: talk about tonight?
• 57:23
  Speaker 16: And I want to talk about the chances of Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listen, I think Vivek Ramaswamy did a phenomenal
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: job tonight. You've got Vivek is in Ohio with John
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: Husted running for Senate. And President Trump was there. And
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: I think they did an amazing job. Listen, Vivek Ramaswamy
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: was probably one of the strongest candidates in the 2024 election. Him, RFK,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: President Trump. And it doesn't surprise me at all that
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: he's right now running for governor. It won't surprise me
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: at all if he wins. And it wouldn't surprise me
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: at all if he wins and succeeds as governor. If
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: he runs for president, because the writing's on the wall.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: Another one that could do that, I think, is Marco Rubio,
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: who could run for governor if he felt like it
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: before doing this. I don't think he would. I think
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: he's probably ready to rock and roll. He's got the momentum.
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: Byron Donald is another one. Executive leadership now as governor
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: when he wins. I speak that into existence. And I
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: think these guys are the Republican bench. There's plenty. Meanwhile,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: you turn around, you look at the Democrats. And you
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: don't see Hakeem Jeffries on the campaign trail. You don't
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: see Chuck Schumer on the campaign trail. You just see
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: these newcomers all the time. Gran Platner, the other guy,
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: the lumberjack, Troy Jackson, who's the one in Angie Nixon
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: in Florida. I mean, it's one weirdo after the next.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Don't forget Tallarico and El Sayed. I mean, this is
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: just a freak show. when it comes to politics, right?
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: These are big tax and spend liberals that are communist sympathizers.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: So I think people with sense will vote against that.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: My fear is that there's a lot of people with
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: no sense. I don't know if that makes any sense. Arthur,
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: thank you for your call, my brother. That's pretty much
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: all the time that I've got for today. But I
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: always like to bid you adieu by saying you got
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: to stand for something, because if you stand for nothing,
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: you'll fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: evil to triumph is for good people like you to
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: sit there and do nothing. So make sure you do something.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: Make sure you vote. Make sure you get people to
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: the polls. Hasta la proxima. I'll check in with you tomorrow.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: Five days away. Take care. Good night. And God bless you, America.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdez. And this is America.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: This is America.
