0:48
Speaker 3: that are going on because the biggest headline of the
0:50
Speaker 3: day don Leye Moong, right, Don Leimon Don Lemon arrested. Listen.
0:54
Speaker 3: I was totally taken by surprise here. I didn't think
0:58
Speaker 3: Don Lei Mounh was going to be arrested, but they
1:00
Speaker 3: have pressed charges that he violated the Face Act and
1:04
Speaker 3: prevented people from their god given right to worship and
1:11
Speaker 3: journalists or not. You're not allowed to get in people's way,
1:15
Speaker 3: and good for them, right. I think it's you know,
1:18
Speaker 3: it's going to be tough. The media is going to
1:20
Speaker 3: sell this like Trumps a fascist. He's going after journalists.
1:24
Speaker 3: He's trying to jail the free press. But all you
1:27
Speaker 3: got to do is watch a few videos, learn how
1:29
Speaker 3: to read, and you'll ultimately understand. Nobody gets to exercise
1:37
Speaker 3: their right, and in their exercising and their right prevent
1:40
Speaker 3: you from your exercising of yours. Doesn't work that way, right,
1:45
Speaker 3: You don't have a right to free speech so much
1:47
Speaker 3: that I don't get a right to mind. We all
1:49
Speaker 3: have our rights together, So happy to hear about that.
1:53
Speaker 3: Don Ley mong As I like to call him on
1:55
Speaker 3: this program, Don Leimung making a statement that he gave
2:01
Speaker 3: after his quote unquote arrest. Listened to this.
2:07
Speaker 5: Some breaking news to bring you. Confirmation from the US
2:10
Speaker 5: Justice Department that the former CNN anchor Don Lemon has
2:16
Speaker 5: been arrested by federal agents. Is understood from a statement
2:22
Speaker 5: from his attorney that he was arrested last night in
2:26
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. He was there to cover the Grammy Awards.
2:30
Speaker 5: He has been a journalist for thirty years, and his
2:33
Speaker 5: constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what
2:37
Speaker 5: he's always done. Now, he had appeared to be taking
2:41
Speaker 5: part in some of the protests that were taking place
2:45
Speaker 5: in Minnesota against some I'm.
2:47
Speaker 3: Just going to jump in here and say no, what
2:49
Speaker 3: he did in Minnesota was very different than sitting behind
2:52
Speaker 3: the anchor's desk at CNN. In Minnesota, he actually joined
2:56
Speaker 3: a mob of people and went inside a church and
2:59
Speaker 3: was asked to leave by the pastor. I don't remember
3:02
Speaker 3: that when he said I'd like for you to leave,
3:04
Speaker 3: and he said, oh, you want me to leave? And
3:05
Speaker 3: if you play that tape again, when he's in the church,
3:07
Speaker 3: he's holding on to the pastor's sleeve like trying to
3:09
Speaker 3: get his attention during the interview, and the pastor pushes
3:13
Speaker 3: him off, and then he tells the pastor, hey, hey,
3:15
Speaker 3: don't push me man. I mean, it was just such
3:17
Speaker 3: a crazy thing to watch. But let's go back to
3:20
Speaker 3: this clip from Sky News some.
3:21
Speaker 5: Of the tactics being used by the Ice agents there
3:25
Speaker 5: in which two protesters lost their lives. Well, it has
3:30
Speaker 5: been confirmed by the US Justice Department that Don Lemon,
3:34
Speaker 5: the former CNN anchor has been arrested.
3:39
Speaker 3: All right, that is Don lee Mong, Don le Mong
3:43
Speaker 3: arrested now, Don le Mong after he was locked up,
3:46
Speaker 3: and he made a statement listen to this one.
3:48
Speaker 6: Last night, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents
3:51
Speaker 6: to arrest me in the middle of the night for
3:53
Speaker 6: something that I've been doing for the last thirty years,
3:57
Speaker 6: and that is covering the news. The First Amendment of
4:01
Speaker 6: the Constitution protects that work from me and for countless
4:04
Speaker 6: of other journalists who do.
4:07
Speaker 3: What I do.
4:09
Speaker 6: I stand with all of them, and I will not
4:12
Speaker 6: be silenced. I look forward to my day in court.
4:19
Speaker 3: So Don Lemong was locked up, listen, and we've got
4:21
Speaker 3: a bunch that we're going to get into here with
4:23
Speaker 3: Don Leimung. I want to talk about this a little bit.
4:25
Speaker 3: Of course, we're going to get into some Epstein files.
4:27
Speaker 3: There's new stuff on that, as well as a few
4:29
Speaker 3: other things I want to get into. But Don Leemong,
4:32
Speaker 3: So what's interesting about this, at least from my perspective,
4:36
Speaker 3: is that he says, Look, the government is saying I
4:40
Speaker 3: did the following right. The government's position is this, let
4:44
Speaker 3: me scroll to it here, right, the Face Act, Freedom
4:47
Speaker 3: of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. Now, this is not
4:50
Speaker 3: an act that was created by Republicans. This is an
4:52
Speaker 3: act that was created by Democrats to go after people
4:55
Speaker 3: praying outside abortion clinics. And quite frankly, there are some
4:58
Speaker 3: people outside abortion clinics that are so going to use
5:01
Speaker 3: the word over zealous that they can really make a
5:04
Speaker 3: situation difficult for a person that made that decision to
5:10
Speaker 3: go and you murder their child. So I understand the
5:13
Speaker 3: defense and saying, look, we want to make it unpleasant
5:15
Speaker 3: for you, but I don't know that that's allowed. The
5:17
Speaker 3: last thing, I think some girl that is going through
5:19
Speaker 3: a very difficult time in her life where she's like
5:22
Speaker 3: should I do or should I not do it? I
5:23
Speaker 3: don't know what to do, and then have somebody you know,
5:25
Speaker 3: so you're going to hell? You know, I don't know
5:27
Speaker 3: if that's helpful, right, That might push her over to
5:29
Speaker 3: the other side, is what I mean. I'm not saying
5:31
Speaker 3: that we shouldn't be honest. I'm saying that we should
5:33
Speaker 3: be loving while we're being honest. All that to the side.
5:36
Speaker 3: This is the Face Act. So that's the story with
5:38
Speaker 3: the Face Act. Now what's interesting here is the government
5:41
Speaker 3: is alleging the following things, that there was physical obstruction.
5:45
Speaker 3: This is what the Department of Justice is arguing that
5:47
Speaker 3: Don Lemon and I like to call him Don Lemon,
5:50
Speaker 3: saying what he did went well beyond journalism, his intent
5:53
Speaker 3: to interfere. Under the Face Act, it's a crime to
5:56
Speaker 3: use force, threats, or physical obstruction to intentionally interfere someone
6:00
Speaker 3: exercising their religious freedom. Conspiracy. Lemon faces a conspiracy against
6:04
Speaker 3: rights charge which is eighteen Usc. Two forty one, carries
6:08
Speaker 3: a potential sentence of ten years. He is clearly saying, look,
6:12
Speaker 3: I'm using my freedom of speech and freedom of the
6:15
Speaker 3: press as a defense. Don li Monk is going to
6:17
Speaker 3: say that he was there, he was present strictly as
6:20
Speaker 3: a journalist to document a protest a public concern. It's
6:23
Speaker 3: going to say that arresting him is going to have
6:25
Speaker 3: a chilling effect on such freedom of the press, arguing
6:29
Speaker 3: that charging a reporter for being present at a site
6:31
Speaker 3: where others are breaking the lass, that's a dangerous precedent
6:34
Speaker 3: for freedom of the press, and that there's a lack
6:38
Speaker 3: of force. Some people that are opining on this from
6:42
Speaker 3: Cato Institute in other places are saying that the Face
6:45
Speaker 3: Act typically requires a forceful disruption, which they argue Lemon's
6:49
Speaker 3: conduct did not meet. Now, I would say, I don't
6:53
Speaker 3: have the proof one way or the other that Lemon
6:55
Speaker 3: went in with those people, But if I had to
6:57
Speaker 3: take a look at what I've seen, like they went
7:01
Speaker 3: in and he was right there with him, because he
7:02
Speaker 3: had a whole live stream that he conducted when he
7:05
Speaker 3: was in their staging area, and he even said, look,
7:08
Speaker 3: they're planning on doing things. They do kind of gotcha
7:10
Speaker 3: type of things, they get in people's faces, so he
7:12
Speaker 3: knew what was going on. He seemed to be privy
7:14
Speaker 3: to the planning. Now, I don't know if he's going
7:16
Speaker 3: to be able to make the case and say, look,
7:18
Speaker 3: if I am a journalist embedded in a tank battalion
7:21
Speaker 3: and I'm riding in a tank and this tank is
7:23
Speaker 3: going to go and shoot some bad guys, does that
7:25
Speaker 3: make me complicit with shooting the bad guys because I'm
7:28
Speaker 3: on the tank, embedded with this crew. And I guess
7:31
Speaker 3: that's a good question. I don't know if that's the
7:33
Speaker 3: argument he's making. I know, if they did this to me,
7:35
Speaker 3: that would be the argument I'm making, right because you
7:37
Speaker 3: know me I'm a free speech absolutist, but ultimately Lemon
7:41
Speaker 3: was asked to leave by the pastor, and nobody has
7:44
Speaker 3: a freedom of press in a moment like that. If
7:47
Speaker 3: you know you're not asked to come in, you're not
7:49
Speaker 3: asked to come in. A couple of months ago I interviewed.
7:53
Speaker 3: His name was something Melkezedek forgetting his first name, but
7:59
Speaker 3: he was the minister of finance to an African nation.
8:03
Speaker 3: I worked for the king of the Ntibelli tribe and
8:08
Speaker 3: we talked about a number of things. And one of
8:09
Speaker 3: the things when I met him, he was telling me
8:12
Speaker 3: that he was here visiting New York in New Jersey
8:14
Speaker 3: and he visited a synagogue in New Jersey and they
8:17
Speaker 3: wouldn't let him go in. And I said, really, why,
8:20
Speaker 3: what's up with that? And he said, well, they you know,
8:22
Speaker 3: they asked me what I was doing here, if I
8:24
Speaker 3: had ever come here before. There's a lot of questions
8:26
Speaker 3: before they would let him, uh, you know, into the building.
8:29
Speaker 3: And I said, well, I mean, I guess you know,
8:30
Speaker 3: some of the synagogues in the area have heightened their
8:33
Speaker 3: security because things have been a little hectic for synagogues,
8:38
Speaker 3: and I could only imagine in my church, we want
8:40
Speaker 3: to have an open door policy. But if you, you know,
8:43
Speaker 3: are the you don't look I guess like you're there
8:46
Speaker 3: for seeking Jesus, right, and you look like you're there
8:49
Speaker 3: to make trouble or argue or something like that, then
8:52
Speaker 3: I'm sure that they can ask you to leave too.
8:55
Speaker 3: And that's the point here, right, I think that's the
8:58
Speaker 3: real bottom line here. You're not allowed to just pull
9:01
Speaker 3: up somewhere, even if it's an open door and stay
9:05
Speaker 3: beyond your invitation. Right. It's if it's limited to you
9:09
Speaker 3: participating in the pews and being a active participant in
9:17
Speaker 3: the service and grade. But if your actions are beyond
9:21
Speaker 3: what everybody else is doing, and you're in the aisles
9:23
Speaker 3: and you're obstructing, then I think they have every right
9:26
Speaker 3: in the world to ask you to leave. That seems
9:28
Speaker 3: fair to me. Right, So this is going to go
9:30
Speaker 3: to court, and I'm honestly curious. I don't think this
9:33
Speaker 3: is a slam dunk for the government at all. I
9:36
Speaker 3: think this is President Trump doing his best to say, hey, look,
9:40
Speaker 3: you guys, do what you got to do. With the
9:41
Speaker 3: Department of Justice, and people at the Department of Justice
9:44
Speaker 3: wanting to make an example of this hoping to deter
9:48
Speaker 3: future protest inside of houses of worship. And I think
9:52
Speaker 3: that's fair, right. Protest is meant for the public square,
9:55
Speaker 3: not for houses of worship. The allegations against Lemon again
9:58
Speaker 3: physical obstruction, to interfere in conspiracy. He's saying that in
10:03
Speaker 3: this fourteen page indictment that he's not guilty of these things.
10:05
Speaker 3: He wasn't physically obstructing. But again the prosecutors are saying
10:09
Speaker 3: that Donlimone posted himself at the main door where he
10:13
Speaker 3: confronted concreens and physically obstructed them as they tried to
10:16
Speaker 3: exit the building. I can tell you this. I saw
10:18
Speaker 3: the video of him interviewing the pastor where he was
10:20
Speaker 3: holding on to the sleeve near the pastor's elbow as
10:23
Speaker 3: he was putting the microphone in his face, And when
10:25
Speaker 3: the pastor didn't want him to hold onto his sleeve anymore,
10:28
Speaker 3: he pushed mister Lemon's arm, and then Lemon goes still
10:31
Speaker 3: push me. What do you want him to do if
10:33
Speaker 3: you got your hands all over the guy, right? I mean,
10:35
Speaker 3: I think it's just a double standard here, refusal to leave,
10:37
Speaker 3: occupying sacred space, intimidating the leadership of the church and
10:41
Speaker 3: physically obstructing those seemed like things I saw in the video.
10:44
Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see if the same kind of
10:47
Speaker 3: people that gave them the grand jury indictment, if they
10:51
Speaker 3: will now give him an actual guilty charge in a
10:55
Speaker 3: jury trial. I don't know. My hope is yes, my
10:57
Speaker 3: gut says no. We'll see if I'm right or wrong.
10:59
Speaker 3: I was right about Comy and I was right about
11:01
Speaker 3: Letitia James. So far, I've been right about the Clintons.
11:04
Speaker 3: They said we're not coming. We're not coming. Will they
11:06
Speaker 3: come in maybe, but they're probably gonna have such a
11:09
Speaker 3: narrow scope, right, Smile a lot, smile, a lot wave smile, smile, smile,
11:15
Speaker 3: answer no questions. Let their attorneys do all the talking
11:17
Speaker 3: and leave if they if if that's a big if
11:20
Speaker 3: capital I capital f if they show up anyway, We'll
11:22
Speaker 3: get to that a little bit later. What I want
11:24
Speaker 3: to talk about now again is this face act stuff,
11:26
Speaker 3: because this is a big deal, right, this is going
11:29
Speaker 3: to be the media attention around it. Lemon Is obviously,
11:32
Speaker 3: you know, he's already held a press conference. He's already
11:35
Speaker 3: talking about I did nothing wrong. They're coming at me
11:37
Speaker 3: for being a journalist for the thirty years I've been
11:39
Speaker 3: in this business. He's going to continue doing that, and
11:41
Speaker 3: he's going to get a lot of people to believe
11:44
Speaker 3: that Trump is a fascist, coming after journalists for exercising
11:48
Speaker 3: their First Amendment right and listen, if I were his attorney,
11:50
Speaker 3: I'd be doing the same thing. I'd be out there saying, unbelievable,
11:54
Speaker 3: how the maga Republicans are out here. Not only are
11:57
Speaker 3: they trying to chill freedom of the press, but now
11:59
Speaker 3: they're all so trying to do it in a house
12:01
Speaker 3: of worship. I mean, where else can you be free
12:03
Speaker 3: to speak but a house of worship? Right, This is
12:05
Speaker 3: how they would position at least how I would position
12:08
Speaker 3: it if I were a radical leftist, because that's how
12:10
Speaker 3: they think. That's how they work. They do anything to
12:12
Speaker 3: try and spark outrage in a common person, in someone
12:16
Speaker 3: who might otherwise not know better. Right, somebody who's invested
12:19
Speaker 3: in their work, in their children, in their own livelihood,
12:22
Speaker 3: in their own life, not somebody who's an armchair quarterback,
12:26
Speaker 3: and you know, doing a quick google on what the
12:28
Speaker 3: Face Act is. They realize that most people are not informed,
12:31
Speaker 3: and they take advantage of this. So I don't know
12:34
Speaker 3: how this thing ends up. I'm surprised that there was
12:36
Speaker 3: even an indictment. I figured they would talk tough on
12:39
Speaker 3: Lemon and let them go. I think at the end
12:40
Speaker 3: of the day you might satisfy a part of the
12:43
Speaker 3: base with the federal indictment. But at the end, if
12:46
Speaker 3: Lemon walks away unscathed, it none of this stuff sticks. Man.
12:49
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, He'll become emboldened. Right, He'll walk
12:53
Speaker 3: around saying, Hey, they try to get met I fought
12:55
Speaker 3: city Hall on one. Right, He's going to feel that
12:58
Speaker 3: much more powerful, like he can do this every step
13:00
Speaker 3: of the way, Like, oh, I know how to do it.
13:02
Speaker 4: Now.
13:02
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, when you pull up on a church,
13:04
Speaker 3: when you pull up on a synagogue, when you pull
13:05
Speaker 3: up on a master, this is how you do it. Right.
13:07
Speaker 3: He's going to write the rule book on this thing.
13:09
Speaker 3: So we're going to see how that goes. Don Ley
13:10
Speaker 3: moh arrested by the Department of Justice. His attorney is
13:15
Speaker 3: Abby Lowell. Abby Lowell famously represented Hunter Biden and a
13:19
Speaker 3: bunch of other people. This is, you know, one of
13:21
Speaker 3: those attorneys that takes the case in order to get
13:26
Speaker 3: all the media attention. But Lowell argues that Don lemonhe
13:29
Speaker 3: was acting as an independent journalist documenting a matter of
13:33
Speaker 3: public interest, saying that it's a very distinct role, that
13:36
Speaker 3: the sole purpose of live streaming and reporting is not
13:39
Speaker 3: to participate in the activist tactical goals, but to report it.
13:42
Speaker 3: He says there's a separation of actions here. They argue
13:44
Speaker 3: that Lemon cannot be held liable for the physical actions
13:47
Speaker 3: or obstructions committed by protesters, as he was holding a
13:50
Speaker 3: camera and a microphone, not interlocking arms with them or
13:54
Speaker 3: blocking doors like they did. He's also going to use
13:57
Speaker 3: something called a lack of force threat defense, so saying
14:00
Speaker 3: that everything that was happening here was verbal versus physical.
14:03
Speaker 3: Mister Lowell contends at asking questions, even peppering someone with
14:07
Speaker 3: questions is protected speech. It's not physical force, it's not
14:10
Speaker 3: a threat of force. He's also expected to use something
14:12
Speaker 3: called incidental contact, saying any physical proximity cited by the
14:16
Speaker 3: Department of Justice, as described in their indictment to an
14:19
Speaker 3: incident or a crowd or a chaotic scene was a
14:22
Speaker 3: circumstance as opposed to a deliberate attempt to obstruct. Again,
14:27
Speaker 3: I don't know if these defenses are going to work.
14:29
Speaker 3: I think these defenses are weak, but I think the
14:32
Speaker 3: case is equally as weak. Not because the case is weak,
14:35
Speaker 3: because I think they're going to have a tough time
14:37
Speaker 3: finding a jury to say, yeah, you know what, throw
14:39
Speaker 3: the book at him. He's guilty as sin. I just
14:42
Speaker 3: don't think that's the case. I might be wrong, and
14:44
Speaker 3: I won't be shocked either. If he's indicted, he earned it.
14:47
Speaker 3: Good for him. I'll be pleasantly surprised, and we'll keep
14:49
Speaker 3: it moving. I do think, though, that there's going to
14:51
Speaker 3: be a bunch of people saying, I don't want to
14:53
Speaker 3: be the one to do it to this guy. Years ago,
14:56
Speaker 3: there was some action against James Rosen that Obama took
14:58
Speaker 3: back then I thought, this is not how you treat
15:00
Speaker 3: the press. This is clearly Obama trying to chill his speech.
15:04
Speaker 3: So I can only imagine there's going to be some
15:06
Speaker 3: people thinking that here now, even though that's not the
15:08
Speaker 3: case here, I think people are gonna think that here.
15:10
Speaker 3: And in real life, you have to take certain political
15:12
Speaker 3: calculations into consideration, not me per se, just them, right.
15:17
Speaker 3: This is why you have attorneys general and positions like
15:21
Speaker 3: that that are appointed by and serve at the pleasure
15:24
Speaker 3: of the president, because ultimately there's a consideration there is
15:27
Speaker 3: this a fight we need to have right now, or
15:29
Speaker 3: is there a better way, a different way? Right You
15:31
Speaker 3: can take a absolutist perspective and say no, no, absolutely, he
15:34
Speaker 3: did wrong. We're going after him. That's it. Wind loser, draw, Hey,
15:36
Speaker 3: good for you. It's probably the approach I would take too.
15:39
Speaker 3: Let's roll the dice, see what happens. This is what
15:41
Speaker 3: we believe happen. We're gonna argue our best case. May
15:44
Speaker 3: the best man win. But I'm just giving you the
15:48
Speaker 3: political skinny on it from my perspective, So we'll see
15:51
Speaker 3: what happens. Now, let's see the blah blah blah blah blah.
15:56
Speaker 3: The defense. Last point here. The defense is particularly aggressive
15:59
Speaker 3: and challenge the Section two forty one conspiracy against rights charge,
16:03
Speaker 3: which excuse me, which carries the heaviest prison time no
16:07
Speaker 3: meeting of the minds criteria. Lowell argues, there's no evidence
16:10
Speaker 3: that Lemon even agreed to violate anyone's rights. Attending a
16:14
Speaker 3: briefing to know where the news will happen is standard
16:17
Speaker 3: journalistic practice, not a criminal conspiracy. Now, I've got to
16:21
Speaker 3: say on that front, I think that's going to be
16:23
Speaker 3: where this comes down to again back to my tank analogy.
16:25
Speaker 3: If there's somebody embedded with a tank battalion and they
16:28
Speaker 3: shoot the bad guys, is this guy part of the
16:30
Speaker 3: war or is he a war correspondent that was there
16:33
Speaker 3: documenting what's going on. I don't know. If that guy
16:35
Speaker 3: gets out of the tank and goes, you know, to
16:37
Speaker 3: the other sides as hey puts a microphone in the
16:39
Speaker 3: face of the people they just blew up. What's it
16:41
Speaker 3: feel like to get blown up like that? Do you
16:42
Speaker 3: feel like you're losing the war your reaction? Does that
16:45
Speaker 3: make him part of the attack or not? And is
16:47
Speaker 3: their precedent for that? These are all good questions that
16:50
Speaker 3: I think will be answered as this whole thing evolves.
16:53
Speaker 3: And then the last part of the Abbey Lowell defense
16:56
Speaker 3: is the double standard argument. The defense is highlighting that
16:59
Speaker 3: a fe Federal Magistate judge excuse me, it's Friday, originally
17:04
Speaker 3: refused to sign a warrant suggesting that the Department of
17:07
Speaker 3: Justice was lacking enough substantive information in their indictment to
17:14
Speaker 3: get the approval from the grand jury, and it was
17:19
Speaker 3: a stretch. Well, now they've gotten it, So is it
17:24
Speaker 3: a stretch? Is this a constitutional overreach? I don't think
17:26
Speaker 3: it's a constitutional overreach. I think this is what the
17:29
Speaker 3: courts are for. Right. Everybody asserts their position and that's it.
17:34
Speaker 3: And I think, look, I think Lemon is fighting with
17:37
Speaker 3: his bully pulpit in the public eye, and I think
17:41
Speaker 3: the rest of these people are gonna have to fight
17:43
Speaker 3: in the courtroom, right, Because you don't often see Attorneys General, dag's,
17:49
Speaker 3: deputy Attorney general's assistant, United States Attorneys whatever, typically litigating
17:55
Speaker 3: on television. Right, they typically do their thing outside of
17:59
Speaker 3: a press conference or an announcement. They typically do their
18:02
Speaker 3: thing in the courtroom. So we shall see, right. I
18:05
Speaker 3: don't have a crystal ball on this one. But again
18:07
Speaker 3: my gut tells me not all the charges are gonna stick.
18:11
Speaker 3: Maybe one, maybe zero, who knows, But I don't see
18:15
Speaker 3: it again. If it happens, God is great. We have
18:19
Speaker 3: some justice and we move on. But I was having
18:22
Speaker 3: a discussion with my brother and he was telling me,
18:24
Speaker 3: you're gonna be so shocked. You're yeah, you're gonna You're
18:27
Speaker 3: not gonna believe it. I can't wait to see the
18:28
Speaker 3: look on your face, and I said, brother, I would
18:30
Speaker 3: it's not gonna be that shocking to me. If Don
18:32
Speaker 3: Lemon is in trouble, I don't think he's above the law.
18:35
Speaker 3: I just think that again, he's got a good defense,
18:42
Speaker 3: I think saying, hey, look, I in my whole career,
18:44
Speaker 3: all I've ever done is be a journalist. Whether I'm
18:46
Speaker 3: a fake news journalist or not, that's beside the point.
18:49
Speaker 3: Are you guys gonna come at me because I'm a
18:51
Speaker 3: left wing journalist? Does that make me any less of
18:53
Speaker 3: a journalist? Some might say yes, some might say no.
18:56
Speaker 3: One thing I can tell you is Don Lemon has
18:58
Speaker 3: a history of being on the fake news media and
19:00
Speaker 3: his show and his podcast, his YouTube and stuff like that.
19:04
Speaker 3: One thing I can't say with any certitude is that
19:07
Speaker 3: Don Lemon has a history of leading, you know, insurrections
19:11
Speaker 3: into churches, which I think is disgusting. So I would
19:15
Speaker 3: put the focus on the woman with the dreadlocks and
19:18
Speaker 3: the guy with the beard, and they were arrested as well,
19:20
Speaker 3: so I'm glad they were arrested. But again, of all
19:23
Speaker 3: the participants here, I don't think Don Lemon is the mastermind.
19:26
Speaker 3: So I don't see why we're giving it as much
19:28
Speaker 3: attention as we are. But I just wanted to give
19:30
Speaker 3: you all of my thoughts on that one. Now, Don
19:32
Speaker 3: Lemon's not in the clear. He's also being uh, what's
19:36
Speaker 3: the word I'm looking for? I guess, chastised and argued
19:42
Speaker 3: with with a number of people, not the least of
19:45
Speaker 3: which is Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj, who's been a fan
19:49
Speaker 3: favorite on the Maga side of the isle, well, she
19:52
Speaker 3: was asked a question about Don Lemon, and it was
19:55
Speaker 3: mainly about his reaction. He threw Nicky under the bus,
19:58
Speaker 3: saying all sorts of things about her. Listen to what
20:00
Speaker 3: she had to say for.
20:01
Speaker 7: Don Lemon's arrest over his church in Minneapolis. He since
20:04
Speaker 7: called you racist, unhinge, homophobic, and out of your death
20:08
Speaker 7: anything you'd like to say to Don Lemon, cocksucker, stop.
20:16
Speaker 3: Mincing no words. The Queen of Rap said it right
20:19
Speaker 3: right there, Nicki Minaj. Stop and you already heard what
20:25
Speaker 3: she called him. I thought it was pretty funny. I
20:26
Speaker 3: heard it three or four times, and I laughed every
20:28
Speaker 3: single time. Forgive me anyway, we're gonna continue with that.
20:32
Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj is the queen. She joined El trumpitos and
20:36
Speaker 3: all this magnus to forty fifth and forty seventh President
20:38
Speaker 3: of these United States to talk about the Trump accounts
20:42
Speaker 3: joined by Michael Dell and others investing in America. We'll
20:45
Speaker 3: get to a little bit of that a little bit later.
20:49
Speaker 3: I can't do that right now. I would love to
20:50
Speaker 3: do it right now, but right now I got to
20:52
Speaker 3: get into this Epstein stuff because there's new Epstein stuff. Yes,
20:55
Speaker 3: and you know me, you know how much I don't
20:57
Speaker 3: like the Epstein stuff. But it's because it's always the
21:00
Speaker 3: same thing. I think Todd blanche the Deputy Attorney General,
21:03
Speaker 3: he made it very very clear, it doesn't matter how
21:05
Speaker 3: much information we put out, what you're looking for will
21:07
Speaker 3: never be satisfied, right. And that's my belief too, the
21:10
Speaker 3: people that they want something that just isn't gonna happen.
21:14
Speaker 3: And I blame the Iranians, I blame the Russians, I
21:19
Speaker 3: blame the Chinese and anybody on the Trump team that
21:23
Speaker 3: was pushing the orange jumpsuit theory that the answer to
21:27
Speaker 3: everything was orange jumpsuits. While that may be a very
21:31
Speaker 3: solid answer, it really isn't one because it's not happening, right.
21:36
Speaker 3: And I don't believe it was ever going to happen. Instead,
21:39
Speaker 3: people went in, they started working. And I think Dan
21:41
Speaker 3: Bongino talks about that all the time, right when he
21:44
Speaker 3: talks about the black pillars, that's what he's talking about.
21:47
Speaker 3: People that took the black pill They want to their malcontents.
21:50
Speaker 3: They want to say, you know, here's what's wrong with this,
21:52
Speaker 3: and here's what's wrong with that, instead of saying, hey,
21:54
Speaker 3: you know, the FBI has arrested a truckload of pedophiles,
21:58
Speaker 3: a truckload of people that were bringing drugs into this country,
22:01
Speaker 3: a truckload of you know, criminal conspiracies. They went after
22:05
Speaker 3: these church people, not the church people per se, but
22:08
Speaker 3: these violent leftists that obstructed the church. And these are
22:12
Speaker 3: all good things, right, I think they're all good things.
22:14
Speaker 3: But you know, perhaps I'm biased, Perhaps I favor this administration.
22:19
Speaker 3: But I'd rather see work getting done than us driving
22:23
Speaker 3: with our foot on the gas at one hundred miles
22:25
Speaker 3: an hour focused on the rearview mirror. That's a good
22:28
Speaker 3: way to crash. Keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Fildes.
22:32
Speaker 1: This is America six, This is America.
24:18
Speaker 3: President boakes you up, mister President, welcome to the program sir.
24:22
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
24:24
Speaker 3: I know you very well and I have I listen,
24:27
Speaker 3: but I have a lot of people that listen and
24:29
Speaker 3: they love your show and I appreciate it very much.
24:33
Speaker 3: All right, amigos, welcome back Rich Valdez, keeping your company
24:36
Speaker 3: here this Friday, heading into the weekend. And the Epstein files. Right,
24:40
Speaker 3: there's a new update on the Epstein files. This time
24:45
Speaker 3: Todd Blanche breaks it all down, just a little bit lengthy,
24:48
Speaker 3: it's about a full minute, but I want you to
24:50
Speaker 3: hear what the Attorney General Deputy Attorney General had to say,
24:53
Speaker 3: because I think he put it really well. Check this out.
24:57
Speaker 2: The categories of documents withheld include those permitted under the
25:01
Speaker 2: Act to be withheld, files that contain personal personally identifi
25:05
Speaker 2: information of victims or victims, personal and medical files, and
25:09
Speaker 2: similar files the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly
25:13
Speaker 2: unwarded invasion of personal privacy.
25:16
Speaker 3: So they've released these files. They are not releasing things
25:19
Speaker 3: that will violate personal privacy or things that will you know,
25:23
Speaker 3: jeopardize sources, methods and things of that nature. And like usual,
25:28
Speaker 3: I feel most of the cases that you see don't
25:31
Speaker 3: typically list. For example, when somebody is arrested for selling drugs,
25:41
Speaker 3: you typically don't always see the person that's buying the drugs, right,
25:48
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's undercover agents and whatever and whatnot. Now, sometimes
25:52
Speaker 3: you might have one that flips and they'll become a
25:53
Speaker 3: witness and you will see that. And sometimes those witnesses
25:55
Speaker 3: are protected, so you won't see that. Right, It's as
25:58
Speaker 3: far as I know, it's not a a common thing.
26:01
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm wrong, right, I'm not a criminal defense lawyer,
26:05
Speaker 3: but there's a fascination with we want to know who
26:08
Speaker 3: the client list is, as if this is information that's available.
26:13
Speaker 3: And I think that the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche
26:17
Speaker 3: answered this pretty well. Listen to this.
26:20
Speaker 8: You said, this is the end of the Epstein of
26:22
Speaker 8: your review of the Epstein files. So just to clarify,
26:26
Speaker 8: or is the public going to learn the identities of
26:30
Speaker 8: the men who abuse the girls with the information that
26:34
Speaker 8: you're releasing and if not, why not?
26:36
Speaker 4: And then I have a quick follow up.
26:38
Speaker 2: I mean, you just baked in an assumption into your
26:40
Speaker 2: question that I have never said and I don't know
26:42
Speaker 2: to be true. Is the public going to learn about
26:46
Speaker 2: men that abuse these girls? Like what does that mean
26:49
Speaker 2: I understand what that means.
26:51
Speaker 8: Well, I mean they're the men who abuse the young
26:56
Speaker 8: women through Epstein's.
27:00
Speaker 2: We said in July, and it remains as true today
27:03
Speaker 2: as it was in July. If we had information we
27:06
Speaker 2: meeting the Department of Justice about men who abused women,
27:10
Speaker 2: we would we would, we would prosecute them.
27:14
Speaker 3: Right.
27:14
Speaker 2: We talked about the work that we're doing.
27:15
Speaker 3: That's why I said that.
27:16
Speaker 2: There's I said this earlier, there's this built in assumption
27:19
Speaker 2: that somehow there's this hidden tranche of information of men
27:23
Speaker 2: that we know about that we're covering up, or that
27:26
Speaker 2: we're not we're choosing not to prosecute.
27:28
Speaker 3: That is not the case.
27:29
Speaker 2: I don't know whether there are men out there that
27:31
Speaker 2: abuse these women. If if we learn about information and
27:34
Speaker 2: evidence that that allows us to prosecute them, you better
27:37
Speaker 2: believe we will. But but I don't think that that
27:40
Speaker 2: that the public or you all are going to uncover
27:45
Speaker 2: men within the Epstein files that abuse women.
27:49
Speaker 3: Unfortunately. Mm hmm, Well there you have that again. I
27:53
Speaker 3: think that's as clear as it gets, right, letting people
27:56
Speaker 3: know you're looking for something that isn't there. And and
28:00
Speaker 3: he didn't stop there, right, He doubled down. He said,
28:03
Speaker 3: excuse me, I'm trying to play a different one. Let's
28:07
Speaker 3: go with the next one, and then the next one.
28:09
Speaker 3: I think he kind of makes it very clear.
28:14
Speaker 9: Can you assure the American public the President Trump, like
28:17
Speaker 9: every other prominent person whose name came up in relation
28:20
Speaker 9: to the Epstein fives that all documents, photos, and anything
28:24
Speaker 9: relevant to him connected to the case are being released.
28:29
Speaker 3: Now again, this is the attorney channel Todd Blanche, Deputy
28:32
Speaker 3: Attorney General, who's overseeing this, and he's about to clarify
28:36
Speaker 3: on whether we can assure the American people that President
28:39
Speaker 3: Trump had nothing to do with this stuff. Check this out.
28:44
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I can assure that we complied with
28:47
Speaker 2: the statute, we complied with the Act, and there is
28:50
Speaker 2: no that we did not protect President Trump, but didn't
28:54
Speaker 2: protect or not protect anybody. I mean, I think that
28:57
Speaker 2: that there's a hunger or ad for information that I
29:01
Speaker 2: do not think will be satisfied by the review of
29:03
Speaker 2: these documents, and there's there's nothing I can do about that.
29:08
Speaker 2: But President Trump, of all the people in Washington, d C.
29:13
Speaker 2: And around this country that have said for years the
29:15
Speaker 2: same consistent message about Jeffrey Epstein. It's President Trump, and
29:20
Speaker 2: so there's not been a change of course or anything.
29:23
Speaker 2: And certainly his direction to the American people in the
29:26
Speaker 2: Department of Sorry, his direction to the Department of Justice
29:29
Speaker 2: was to be as transparent, release the files, be as
29:32
Speaker 2: transparent as we can.
29:34
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what we did outstanding. I think that's
29:39
Speaker 3: as clear as it gets. I do not share this
29:43
Speaker 3: fascination in the Epstein's files as others do. I know that.
29:46
Speaker 3: I think for many people what happens is they have
29:49
Speaker 3: connected these two things inextricably. And the two things are
29:53
Speaker 3: this child trafficking and the Epstein files. Well, I think
29:59
Speaker 3: that there was child t involved. I don't know that
30:02
Speaker 3: we can get more blood out of this stone. I
30:04
Speaker 3: don't think we're going to get anything else out of it.
30:07
Speaker 3: And I think people just love to be malcontent. People
30:10
Speaker 3: love to be again to reference my buddy Vongenom again
30:13
Speaker 3: black Pillars, right, they like to be malcontents. As the
30:16
Speaker 3: great one Mark Lebnoi says, there are some people that
30:20
Speaker 3: nothing is ever enough for them, And I get that
30:23
Speaker 3: because I've got a good streak of that in me, right,
30:26
Speaker 3: I really do. This is my response typically to politics.
30:31
Speaker 3: People tell me, oh, but this and that, and they
30:33
Speaker 3: get all emotional, and I think, why is it that
30:34
Speaker 3: I'm not as emotional? Why Because I stopped caring about
30:39
Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff. And I don't mean that
30:41
Speaker 3: I don't care about the fate of our country or
30:44
Speaker 3: the future that my children have. No, but I mean
30:46
Speaker 3: a lot of these things. Right. I've been around this business,
30:51
Speaker 3: around politics, around the media long enough to know that
30:56
Speaker 3: there's a lot of people that get away with a
30:58
Speaker 3: lot of things. There's a lot of people that have
31:01
Speaker 3: power and can pull off a lot of things. And
31:04
Speaker 3: that is the way the world works. The big fish
31:08
Speaker 3: always eats the little fish. I mean at least ninety
31:11
Speaker 3: nine percent of the time. There may be on some
31:14
Speaker 3: rare occasions a few little fish get together and eat
31:16
Speaker 3: the big fish. Okay, but it's it's against the law
31:19
Speaker 3: of nature in my opinion. I'm not saying it's a
31:22
Speaker 3: good thing. I'm just saying it's a thing you can't
31:24
Speaker 3: necessarily change. You can try. It's like saying we're going
31:28
Speaker 3: to eradicate evil. How do you eradicate evil. No, you
31:32
Speaker 3: can be a cop, you can become a preacher, you
31:35
Speaker 3: can become a doctor, and you can try to heal
31:38
Speaker 3: the sick, you can try and jail the bad people,
31:43
Speaker 3: you can try and arrest the other people, the you know,
31:47
Speaker 3: people making offenses against their neighbors. But ultimately, you can't
31:51
Speaker 3: stop evil from existing. We're not God. And that's the
31:55
Speaker 3: point that I take that. Sometimes I think we overshoot
31:58
Speaker 3: for things. You got to take the win that you've
32:00
Speaker 3: got and move on, fight again tomorrow. Tomorrow's another day.
32:05
Speaker 3: My philosophy, Maybe I'm wrong, right, Maybe I need to
32:07
Speaker 3: be more aggressive, but I doubt I will be because
32:10
Speaker 3: I don't think you get anything out of it. I
32:12
Speaker 3: don't think you know, your blood pressure goes up, you
32:14
Speaker 3: get all freaked out about things, and then what you
32:17
Speaker 3: become The people that I make fun of on a
32:18
Speaker 3: daily basis, right, these people that are just so hyper
32:21
Speaker 3: emotional about things that they're like these people that you
32:26
Speaker 3: see on the on the videos, these women that are
32:29
Speaker 3: shouting into their camera and their car as soon as
32:32
Speaker 3: you see the car, right, you know, they're freaking out.
32:36
Speaker 3: I'm not one of those people, and I hope you're
32:38
Speaker 3: not one either. Anyway. A little bit of a detail
32:41
Speaker 3: here from Fox News on the Justice Department releasing more
32:45
Speaker 3: than three million Jeffrey Epstein records, including his personal emails,
32:50
Speaker 3: with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, telling Fox News that
32:54
Speaker 3: in none of these communications, even when doing his best
32:57
Speaker 3: to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggests President Trump had
33:01
Speaker 3: done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any
33:04
Speaker 3: of his victims. Not even Epstein is accusing Trump. Moreover,
33:10
Speaker 3: he went on, during the course of our investigation, we
33:13
Speaker 3: seized years and year's worth of Epstein's personal emails. Blanche
33:17
Speaker 3: told Fox News there are communications with hundreds and hundreds
33:21
Speaker 3: of individuals discussing the intimate details of Epstein's and others' lives.
33:26
Speaker 3: In none of these communications, even when doing his best,
33:31
Speaker 3: I think they just read that. Yeah, they repeated it
33:33
Speaker 3: here in the article his best to disparage President Trump,
33:38
Speaker 3: he never mentioned any criminal wrongdoing, inappropriate contact with any
33:42
Speaker 3: of the victims. Fox News Digital first obtained newly released
33:47
Speaker 3: information declassified emails on Friday. The Justice Department is expected
33:53
Speaker 3: to release more than three million pages of records in
33:56
Speaker 3: addition to this or as part of it. The new
34:00
Speaker 3: records also mentioned the President's largely showing that Epstein was
34:07
Speaker 3: resentful right he had a lot of disdain for President
34:09
Speaker 3: Trump criticized him a lot during his first administration. One
34:13
Speaker 3: email reviewed by Fox News Digital was from March twenty
34:16
Speaker 3: sixteen between Epstein and author and reporter Michael Wolfe. You
34:20
Speaker 3: know he's no Trump fan. In the email, Wolf is
34:24
Speaker 3: encouraging Epstein to come up with an immediate counter narrative
34:28
Speaker 3: to James Patterson's book about him filthy Rich, a powerful billionaire,
34:33
Speaker 3: the sex scandal that undid him and all the justice
34:36
Speaker 3: that money can buy. Excuse me, and he says, you
34:42
Speaker 3: need an immediate counter narrative to the book. Wolf writes,
34:45
Speaker 3: I believe Trump offers an ideal opportunity. It's a chance
34:48
Speaker 3: to make the story about something other than you, while
34:51
Speaker 3: at the same time letting you frame your own story. Also,
34:55
Speaker 3: becoming anti Trump gives you certain political cover which you
34:59
Speaker 3: decidedly don't have right now. In another email three years later,
35:03
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, Epstein writes to wolf of course he
35:07
Speaker 3: knew about the girls. He asked Glaane as he asked
35:10
Speaker 3: Elaine to stop. So apparently they're talking about when Trump
35:17
Speaker 3: found out about the Shenanigans that Epstein was up too
35:20
Speaker 3: and told him to stop and to you know eventually
35:22
Speaker 3: to move out of mar Alago back in two thousand
35:24
Speaker 3: and three. In another email in February twenty nineteen, Epstein
35:28
Speaker 3: writes a long email to Wolf noting that blah blah
35:34
Speaker 3: blah who worked they redacted the name of the person
35:37
Speaker 3: worked at Mar a Lago, and that Trump knew of
35:39
Speaker 3: it and came to my house many times during that period.
35:44
Speaker 3: He never got a massage, Epstein writes. Epstein then goes
35:47
Speaker 3: on to discuss a business arrangement involving Trump relating to
35:52
Speaker 3: a friend who was having a financial difficulty with assisted
35:55
Speaker 3: living homes. In another email to Wolf in January twenty eighteen,
35:58
Speaker 3: Epstein is complaining about the President, saying he doesn't take
36:01
Speaker 3: advice and that his children have little experience and poor judgment.
36:05
Speaker 3: There are huge discrepancies with his real net worth, Epstein
36:08
Speaker 3: writes to Wolf, full disclosure would make it clear. Epstein,
36:12
Speaker 3: also in twenty eighteen, continues mocking Trump, calling him dopey
36:16
Speaker 3: Donald or demented Donald, and complains about his finances and
36:20
Speaker 3: acquisitions and relationship with Deutsche Bank. Meanwhile, in emails between
36:25
Speaker 3: Epstein and Thomas Landon of The New York Times in
36:28
Speaker 3: January of twenty eighteen. Landon asks if Epstein is still
36:32
Speaker 3: in touch with Wolf, who had published his book Fire
36:36
Speaker 3: and Fury, which is about Trump. Yep Epstein replies, Landon,
36:41
Speaker 3: wrights have to say he is looking sounding increasingly unhinged.
36:45
Speaker 3: Are you tempted to take any money off the table
36:48
Speaker 3: in the markets? No, but no question Donald's statement is
36:51
Speaker 3: goofy Epstein replies, it's unclear which Trump's statement he's referring
36:56
Speaker 3: to quote early dementia. Landon replies, you be the judge.
37:01
Speaker 3: Wasn't there a time when he was at least at
37:04
Speaker 3: least completed his sentences. Epstein writes back, No, he was
37:08
Speaker 3: always stupid. So this is a little bit of the
37:10
Speaker 3: back and forth. Epstein couldn't stand El Trompito. So to
37:14
Speaker 3: assert that they were running in the same circle and
37:16
Speaker 3: somehow we're friends, or that they, you know, Trump was
37:19
Speaker 3: one of his clients or was visiting the island, Nope,
37:22
Speaker 3: seems pretty clear they didn't like El Trompito. So anyway,
37:26
Speaker 3: that's the scoop on that. Straight ahead, I still want
37:29
Speaker 3: to talk about what's happening with Don Lemon, no, not Donimon,
37:33
Speaker 3: with Nicki Minaj, as well as with what's the other
37:36
Speaker 3: story I want to talk about. Well, I guess we'll
37:38
Speaker 3: get to some of that on Monday Grammys, right, because
37:41
Speaker 3: that's why they arrested Don Lemon, because the Grammys are
37:43
Speaker 3: coming up. Grammys will be on Sunday.
37:45
Speaker 5: Now.
37:45
Speaker 3: I know most people don't care about the Grammys. I
37:47
Speaker 3: personally am a big fan of music, all different types
37:50
Speaker 3: of genres of music and film. And just like I
37:53
Speaker 3: like film and I like music, I don't necessarily discriminate
37:57
Speaker 3: on the basis of my pouls or my faith. To
38:01
Speaker 3: be frank with you, I know some people you know,
38:04
Speaker 3: in accordance with their faith and their politics, will will
38:09
Speaker 3: only consume entertainment and media that matches up with what
38:13
Speaker 3: they believe. I tend to think that's for me. It's
38:16
Speaker 3: not very honest, right, it's not. It's disingenuous for me.
38:19
Speaker 3: And the reason for that is if I say, oh,
38:22
Speaker 3: I can't stand that gangst the rap, that stuff is horrible,
38:25
Speaker 3: or reggaet Dong and how they treat women in these
38:28
Speaker 3: songs an absolutely disgusting filth. It's demonic. I could say
38:31
Speaker 3: that and there would be truth in some of that, right,
38:34
Speaker 3: but the truth would also be there if I say,
38:36
Speaker 3: you know, over the weekend, I watched The Equalizer with
38:39
Speaker 3: Denzel Washington, and there was so much killing, and it
38:42
Speaker 3: was the killing was just evil and demonic, and of
38:44
Speaker 3: course some of it was self defense. But I mean,
38:45
Speaker 3: this is a contract killer for hire going mad, and
38:48
Speaker 3: I could paint the same picture about evil. Rappers are entertainers,
38:52
Speaker 3: just like actors are entertainers. Robert de Niro is largely
38:56
Speaker 3: disliked by the conservative movement, but he's a fan favorite
38:59
Speaker 3: in Holly when he makes good films. So just because
39:02
Speaker 3: I don't like his politics doesn't mean I'm not going
39:04
Speaker 3: to watch his movies. The Godfather didn't stop being a
39:06
Speaker 3: good movie just because. And you know that's where the
39:09
Speaker 3: guys get a massage or whatever in the spawn, they
39:11
Speaker 3: shoot him in the face, right in the eyeball, you know,
39:13
Speaker 3: right through his glasses. These are classics, classic gangster movies.
39:17
Speaker 3: I see no difference between watching The Godfather or a
39:20
Speaker 3: Pacino film, or a De Niro film, or any you know,
39:23
Speaker 3: even Dwayne the Rock Johnson or Bruce Willis film and
39:28
Speaker 3: listening to a rap song right now. I mean, some
39:31
Speaker 3: might be raunchier than others, some might be more hardcore
39:34
Speaker 3: than others. Some might talk more about guns while others
39:36
Speaker 3: talk about making money. I get it. But that's the
39:39
Speaker 3: art and the interpretation of the art. That's people sharing
39:41
Speaker 3: their experience and their interpretation of life, you know. I mean,
39:45
Speaker 3: if we use that standard, you can turn around to
39:47
Speaker 3: me and say, you know, rich when you bring up
39:48
Speaker 3: those crazy stories. You know where they're using AI sex
39:52
Speaker 3: bots in brothels in Brussels, Belgium. You know, I think
39:55
Speaker 3: that's demonic in this, that and the third. And I'm
39:58
Speaker 3: just talking about things that are happening in the world world.
40:00
Speaker 3: So I think take everything with a grain of salt.
40:04
Speaker 3: You know, protect yourself, protect your spirit, You protect your mind,
40:07
Speaker 3: your body, your soul, and you enjoy what you want
40:09
Speaker 3: to enjoy within moderation that you feel is appropriate. You know,
40:13
Speaker 3: and you seek the counsel and guidance of your God
40:15
Speaker 3: and your life, your wife, your husband, whomever. You know,
40:18
Speaker 3: you use as a sounding board. But let's not sit
40:21
Speaker 3: here and judge everybody else. If you want to listen
40:23
Speaker 3: to Bad Bunny, listen to Bad Bunny. You want to
40:25
Speaker 3: listen to Nicki Minaj, listen to Nicki Minaj. Some people
40:27
Speaker 3: are big fans of Nicki Minaj now because she is
40:30
Speaker 3: on the Maga bad wagon. I like Nicki Minaj since
40:34
Speaker 3: at least twenty twelve when she put out super Bass.
40:37
Speaker 3: I thought that was a great song. I thought it
40:38
Speaker 3: was funny, right, because I just I enjoy certain things,
40:42
Speaker 3: and that's I think that's okay. At least that's the
40:44
Speaker 3: America I believe in, where you can like whatever you like.
40:47
Speaker 3: You can like Hall and Oates, you can like Bad Bunny,
40:50
Speaker 3: you can like jay Z, and you could like kid Rock.
40:55
Speaker 3: Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Voltees.
40:57
Speaker 4: This is America. This is America.
41:20
Speaker 3: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
41:24
Speaker 3: to speak with Rich Valdez.
41:26
Speaker 1: Oh, very good.
41:30
Speaker 3: The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
41:36
Speaker 3: of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez, all right, I mean

Speaker 3: eight seven seven Validesk number one. I'm not going to
43:36
Speaker 3: go to your calls right now because I want to
43:39
Speaker 3: circle back to a story I left off on before,
43:41
Speaker 3: which was Nicki Minaj and and Trumpito with the Trump accounts. Right.
43:48
Speaker 3: She joined the gang to discuss the launch of the
43:52
Speaker 3: Trump accounts, and I thought it was really, really nice.
43:55
Speaker 3: She had a lot of nice things to say. Listen
43:56
Speaker 3: to hip hop artists, recording artists, rapper nick Beanaj.
44:01
Speaker 7: I am probably the President's number one fan and that's
44:11
Speaker 7: not going to change. And the hate or what people
44:17
Speaker 7: have to say, it does not affect me at all.
44:21
Speaker 7: It actually motivates me to support him more. And it's
44:25
Speaker 7: going to motivate all of us to support him more.
44:27
Speaker 7: We're not going to let them get away with bullying
44:30
Speaker 7: him and you know, the smear campaigns, it's not going
44:33
Speaker 7: to work. Okay. He has a lot of force behind
44:38
Speaker 7: him and God is protecting him. Amen.
44:46
Speaker 3: Amen, look at that. I thought that was a great
44:49
Speaker 3: message between President Trump Nicki Minaj really genuinely seem to
44:54
Speaker 3: have a very nice relationship. I saw her in the
44:57
Speaker 3: Oval Office and he you have it. Got play the
45:01
Speaker 3: clip in the Oval Office. It's almost like President Trump
45:04
Speaker 3: gets overshadowed. I often say, I think Donald J. Trump,
45:08
Speaker 3: the President of the United States, El Trumpito is I
45:10
Speaker 3: like to call him. I believe that he is the
45:12
Speaker 3: most famous person on the planet. I could be wrong,
45:15
Speaker 3: but I think they know who Donald Trump is in
45:17
Speaker 3: just about every part of the country. I mean in
45:20
Speaker 3: every country, in every part of the world. Maybe I'm wrong,
45:22
Speaker 3: Maybe it's bad, buddy, but I have a feeling it's
45:25
Speaker 3: l Trumpito. But listen to Donald Trump and Nicki Minaj
45:28
Speaker 3: in the Oval Office. She's saying hello to some.
45:36
Speaker 9: People range see they forgot I was here.
45:40
Speaker 10: Now we still allow you.
45:47
Speaker 3: He says, boy, did that go fast?
45:49
Speaker 8: Right?
45:49
Speaker 3: He's got a good sense of humor, right, because he's
45:51
Speaker 3: literally in the Oval office. He's literally the president. He's
45:54
Speaker 3: literally El Trompido, who's always been famous, by the way,
45:57
Speaker 3: and she walks into the Oval. We're in the cud. Know,
46:01
Speaker 3: white fur coat, this white flowy gown or off white,
46:04
Speaker 3: a crew whatever color it might be, and a white
46:07
Speaker 3: maga hat with gold letters. And that's it. Show stopper, right,
46:11
Speaker 3: very attractive woman, Nicki Minaj. Anyway, I thought that was great,
46:16
Speaker 3: So President Trump doing that now. Earlier in the week,
46:18
Speaker 3: President Trump also chimed in on the on the what
46:25
Speaker 3: did he say? He talked about the criticism that he'd
46:29
Speaker 3: gotten from the media when he was resting his eyes
46:34
Speaker 3: during a cabinet meeting last month, and listened to his response,
46:39
Speaker 3: I thought it was terrific.
46:40
Speaker 10: So the One Big Beautiful Bill that was passed on
46:43
Speaker 10: July fourth last year, we're starting to see the effects
46:46
Speaker 10: kick in. You mentioned the great Economy, one of the
46:50
Speaker 10: things in the One Big Beautiful Bill, mister President, was
46:53
Speaker 10: an honor to host you, and as you said, the
46:55
Speaker 10: best rapper in the world, Nicki Minaj and yesterday's trim
46:58
Speaker 10: held Summit Usgame No had a million people sign up
47:02
Speaker 10: for Trump accounts just this week.
47:04
Speaker 5: The the.
47:11
Speaker 10: I think there will be twenty five million families who
47:14
Speaker 10: are eligible. The segment that you and she did has
47:19
Speaker 10: a billion hits, a billion hits on the internet. So
47:22
Speaker 10: we're telling everyone go fell out form forty five forty
47:26
Speaker 10: seven Trump account out of gov. So thanks to you,
47:30
Speaker 10: the Trump accounts and next generations America will benefit from
47:34
Speaker 10: today's record breaking economy. Record breaking.
47:36
Speaker 3: So Okay, that wasn't the clip I thought it was,
47:39
Speaker 3: but it was even better, right. I think it was
47:41
Speaker 3: perfectly fitting and flowing. So thank you, senor productor. And
47:45
Speaker 3: what I think is really cool about this is these
47:48
Speaker 3: Trump accounts. Again, I didn't know that there was a
47:50
Speaker 3: million of them that were opened up in the last
47:53
Speaker 3: week since they were announced or whatnot. I think that's fantastic.
47:56
Speaker 3: These Trump accounts could grow to fifty thousand dollars even
48:00
Speaker 3: substantively more according to the President than his advisors. And
48:05
Speaker 3: again this information is coming from CNBC. A couple of
48:08
Speaker 3: quick points. Families can start the process to open Trump accounts,
48:12
Speaker 3: which is an investing account for kids when the twenty
48:15
Speaker 3: twenty five filing returns begin. So that's now right today,
48:20
Speaker 3: the thirtieth of January. The interest in early wealth building
48:23
Speaker 3: was prompted by varying estimates of how much these accounts
48:26
Speaker 3: could grow. At the Trump account Summit in Washington, DC.
48:29
Speaker 3: And that's the one where you heard him speak with
48:31
Speaker 3: Nicki Minaj and whatnot. So very very good stuff here
48:34
Speaker 3: that happened yesterday, honestly. The Trump administrations also framed its
48:39
Speaker 3: new investment account, the Trump Accounts, as an early wealth
48:42
Speaker 3: building tool for little kids, one that officials have said
48:45
Speaker 3: can make your kid a millionaire by their late twenties,
48:48
Speaker 3: but financial advisors and policy experts say the numbers depend
48:51
Speaker 3: on annual contributions and investment performance. Here's a quote. As parents,
48:56
Speaker 3: if we make maximum contributions to our child's Trump account,
49:00
Speaker 3: the projected value will be nearly one point one million
49:03
Speaker 3: by the time they are twenty eight years old. White
49:05
Speaker 3: House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said on Wednesday, the twenty
49:09
Speaker 3: eighth of January, at the Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, DC.
49:12
Speaker 3: Later that day, President Trump told the summit attendees that
49:15
Speaker 3: with everybody's contribution, Trump accounts should reach at least fifty
49:20
Speaker 3: thousand in value by age eighteen, and could be very
49:23
Speaker 3: substantially more than that. I got to work on my trumpito,
49:28
Speaker 3: but you get the point. Now, with slightly greater contributions,
49:32
Speaker 3: the typical account will grow to one hundred thousand or
49:34
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand dollars and can even grow up past
49:37
Speaker 3: three hundred thousand dollars per child, he said. Other politicians
49:40
Speaker 3: and speakers tossed out additional projections. According to the CNBC People,
49:45
Speaker 3: they say that Trump tax deferred accounts, also known as
49:48
Speaker 3: five thirty A accounts, include a one thousand dollars contribution
49:52
Speaker 3: from the United States Department of the Treasury for kids
49:54
Speaker 3: born between twenty twenty five and twenty twenty eight. A
49:58
Speaker 3: growing number of companies have pledged to match the Treasury's
50:01
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars seed money for children of employers and
50:05
Speaker 3: philanthropists in multiple states, as well as others that have
50:09
Speaker 3: committed to additional gifts for certain qualifying families. Now the
50:14
Speaker 3: Trump Accounts dot Gov is the website. The projection is
50:20
Speaker 3: right now that these accounts could grow to six thousand
50:23
Speaker 3: dollars by age eighteen fifteen thousand dollars by age twenty
50:26
Speaker 3: seven or two hundred and forty three thousand dollars by
50:29
Speaker 3: age fifty five, assuming that initial thousand bucks in the
50:33
Speaker 3: treasury deposit with no further contributions. This estimates based on
50:38
Speaker 3: the S and P five hundred historical annual average return
50:41
Speaker 3: of over ten percent. However, these are quote unduly optimistic
50:45
Speaker 3: assumptions about future stock market returns without adjusting for inflation
50:49
Speaker 3: or taxes, says Alan Viard. He's a Senior Fellow emeritus
50:53
Speaker 3: at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, and
50:56
Speaker 3: he wrote that back on the twenty third of January
50:59
Speaker 3: in a report saying the administration's projections greatly overstate the
51:02
Speaker 3: account's likely payoff. He doesn't know that, but I guess
51:07
Speaker 3: his job is to draw contrasts. So all right, contrast
51:10
Speaker 3: is drawn. I think both points are worth looking at.
51:14
Speaker 3: You want to say, a right, they're projecting this. He's
51:16
Speaker 3: saying it's overstated. You maybe cut it down the middle
51:19
Speaker 3: to figure out your odds. It doesn't sound like a
51:20
Speaker 3: bad deal to me at all. Now. The administration's projections,
51:26
Speaker 3: According to the White House spokesman on this cushed de Sigh.
51:29
Speaker 3: He told CNBC in an email that many economists inaccurately
51:33
Speaker 3: predicted economic catastrophe under Trump's administration, saying economists who couldn't
51:38
Speaker 3: see one year into the future need to have the
51:40
Speaker 3: humility to admit they probably can't predict twenty eight plus
51:44
Speaker 3: years of compound growth that a generation of American children
51:48
Speaker 3: will enjoy thanks to President Trump and the Trump accounts. Well,
51:52
Speaker 3: said mister desigh, I think that's probably very accurate. Now,
51:56
Speaker 3: let's talk about how much a Trump account could grow.
51:59
Speaker 3: No math here underpins the account balanced projections. So advisors
52:03
Speaker 3: and others are saying that compound growth calculations, but there's
52:08
Speaker 3: some uncertainty that remains with assumptions about future returns and contributions.
52:13
Speaker 3: Investors should understand that projections like these reflect best case outcomes,
52:18
Speaker 3: not expectations. And that's according to Kathy Curtis. She's a
52:22
Speaker 3: certified financial planner that can contributed to the CNBC article.
52:27
Speaker 3: The administration estimates of Trump account growth might be realistic,
52:31
Speaker 3: and some say they may not be realistic for many families,
52:35
Speaker 3: depending on many factors. So got it. It's an investment tool,
52:39
Speaker 3: and it's like a bond or like so many other
52:41
Speaker 3: things that you buy and you put money in and
52:43
Speaker 3: you wait and you don't know.
52:46
Speaker 4: Right.
52:46
Speaker 3: I've seen people do this with five twenty nine accounts
52:49
Speaker 3: for college. As college becomes more of a thing, that's
52:52
Speaker 3: I going to use the word pass a right. I
52:55
Speaker 3: think college has become pass in many circles, so this
52:59
Speaker 3: might be about way to go. I mean, let's talk
53:01
Speaker 3: about this for a second. And I'd really love for
53:04
Speaker 3: you to call me on this or at least leave
53:05
Speaker 3: me a social media message or something. But I'm curious.
53:12
Speaker 3: My best advice to my children right now is get
53:16
Speaker 3: a degree. My daughter finished her degree and she's working
53:19
Speaker 3: and whatnot. But people change career fields, they go in
53:23
Speaker 3: different directions, industries change, right, Lots of things happen over
53:26
Speaker 3: the course of one's career, and you got to be
53:31
Speaker 3: ready to adapt to those things. So that being said,
53:34
Speaker 3: I'm saying this, if you're going to become an engineer,
53:36
Speaker 3: a doctor, a lawyer, anything where you require state licensure,
53:42
Speaker 3: then you're going to need a degree in that area.
53:45
Speaker 3: Anything where you don't need and I'm putting the emphasis
53:49
Speaker 3: on need, the degree by all means go without it
53:54
Speaker 3: and put that money towards buying a piece of property. Right.
53:57
Speaker 3: The other day we talked with Steve Moore. He talked
53:59
Speaker 3: about buying a cop That was my first purchase too.
54:01
Speaker 3: It was a condo. It's a two bedroom, two bedroom,
54:04
Speaker 3: one bath. I thought it was a good deal. I
54:08
Speaker 3: was in my twenties. Still, I would love for my
54:11
Speaker 3: children in their twenties each to buy one of those.
54:14
Speaker 3: I'd like, what heck if they bought one together and
54:16
Speaker 3: rented it out. The point is for the appreciation of
54:19
Speaker 3: the asset. I know some people who've taken a little
54:23
Speaker 3: bit of a loss on real estate deals from here
54:25
Speaker 3: to there, but by and large, like if I know
54:28
Speaker 3: ten people, nine of them made money. All you got
54:31
Speaker 3: to do is sit there and wait and just kind
54:32
Speaker 3: of look at the market, you know. And even sometimes
54:35
Speaker 3: not even that, Sometimes you can buy a place that's
54:37
Speaker 3: a dump. Right. There used to be a place in
54:39
Speaker 3: New Jersey. It was an absolute dump back in the
54:42
Speaker 3: nineteen seventies and eighties, and then by the nineties and
54:46
Speaker 3: two thousands this place began to flourish. Today you can't
54:50
Speaker 3: touch it. It's called Hoboken. Hoboken, New Jersey, was once
54:53
Speaker 3: a place where there were gangs in the streets, violence
54:55
Speaker 3: all over the place, housing projects that spilled out into
54:58
Speaker 3: the streets, but all sorts of drama. Now it's like
55:01
Speaker 3: a miracle mile of bars and restaurants and an economic engine.
55:07
Speaker 3: Right with all sorts of housing. They've got these brownstones
55:10
Speaker 3: where you can't afford to live in them. They've got
55:12
Speaker 3: these high rises. I mean, it's just amazing what's happened
55:14
Speaker 3: in Hoboken. And that's the same thing happened in Jersey City.
55:18
Speaker 3: The same thing happened with the section down under the
55:20
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Bridge overpast Dumbo. With many areas of New York City,
55:25
Speaker 3: you see these resurgences, this gentrification, whatever you want to
55:30
Speaker 3: call it. People start to make money. So I would say,
55:32
Speaker 3: if you look back at something right, I'll give you
55:36
Speaker 3: a little tidbit for anybody who might be in this area,
55:38
Speaker 3: if you can afford to buy anything. I'm talking about
55:42
Speaker 3: a gutted apartment with no plumbing in Hudson County pretty
55:45
Speaker 3: much any part of Hudson County, right, and I'm serious.
55:48
Speaker 3: There's a town in Hudson County, New Jersey called East Newark.
55:52
Speaker 3: It's right next to Harrison and Newark. Most people think
55:55
Speaker 3: that's a bad part of town. It's not that bad there.
55:58
Speaker 3: But my point is he got it even there, which
56:01
Speaker 3: is not a desirable place, not easily accessible to New
56:04
Speaker 3: York City. There's not a whole lot of upside. I
56:06
Speaker 3: think you're gonna make money. You get a place in
56:08
Speaker 3: Weehawk in West New York North Bergen again, if you
56:11
Speaker 3: can afford a place there. These places have made people
56:16
Speaker 3: wealthy and comfortable because of the longevity and the increase
56:21
Speaker 3: of property values. I remember I had a barbershop back
56:24
Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety for a few years during the nineties
56:28
Speaker 3: late nineties, and one of the guys I rented my
56:30
Speaker 3: first shop from my second shop actually was a guy
56:33
Speaker 3: named Alfonso caught it up. I doubt he's still around,
56:35
Speaker 3: but shout out to him if he is older. Cuban
56:38
Speaker 3: guy worked for the town and it was in West
56:41
Speaker 3: New York, New Jersey, and I remember him telling me
56:44
Speaker 3: when I came from Cuba, I worked here. I bought
56:46
Speaker 3: this building. It was a two family building with a
56:48
Speaker 3: store in the bottom. The store was the barbershop. He
56:51
Speaker 3: paid thirty five thousand dollars for that building when he
56:54
Speaker 3: sold it in nineteen ninety nine or two thousand, probably
56:58
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine, maybe ninety eight. I think he sold
57:02
Speaker 3: it at the time for like somewhere between three fifty
57:05
Speaker 3: and four hundred thousand dollars. He paid thirty five thousand
57:09
Speaker 3: for it, all right, so not a bad deal for him, right,
57:13
Speaker 3: he went, he took his wife, they went to Florida,
57:15
Speaker 3: and he lived his retirement days in the beauty of Miami.
57:20
Speaker 3: God bless him. I think that's fantastic now those days over. No,
57:25
Speaker 3: not necessarily. I think people that are moving in now
57:28
Speaker 3: are going to pay higher prices between five hundred and
57:31
Speaker 3: seven hundred thousand dollars to get into something. And what
57:35
Speaker 3: they get into, and if it's a condo, maybe less.
57:39
Speaker 3: It's going to see similar growth in the thirty years
57:42
Speaker 3: that they're there, I think. So, maybe not the same
57:46
Speaker 3: high growth like that ten x, but they're going to
57:49
Speaker 3: see some good growth. It's going to be one of
57:51
Speaker 3: the safest places to park your money. And not for anything.
57:54
Speaker 3: It's a multifamily, so if you live in one, you
57:57
Speaker 3: rent the other one. You got a store rented out
57:59
Speaker 3: that particular building. It was a mixed use property. I mean,
58:01
Speaker 3: you're making money now, that's not for everybody, right, I
58:03
Speaker 3: know it's likely not for me. I got two left
58:05
Speaker 3: hands when it comes to that. But my point is
58:08
Speaker 3: these are wealth building things, and my advice to my
58:11
Speaker 3: kids is that skip a few meals and save money
58:15
Speaker 3: so you can get into a house in your twenties.
58:18
Speaker 3: Don't wait till you're in your thirties to then add
58:20
Speaker 3: that thirty year note on there and get into your
58:22
Speaker 3: sixties to have it paid off. The quicker you can
58:25
Speaker 3: pay it off, the better off you'll be. The quicker
58:27
Speaker 3: you can leverage any equity that you earn and maybe
58:30
Speaker 3: get another one that's the name of the game. Or
58:34
Speaker 3: take out a helock, a home equity line of credit
58:36
Speaker 3: so you can leverage maybe a business and expand that.
58:40
Speaker 3: So there's I mean again, I'm not a financial guru
58:43
Speaker 3: and I wouldn't take my own financial advice sometimes, but
58:48
Speaker 3: in a situation like this, I think the Trump accounts
58:51
Speaker 3: listen doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. And
58:55
Speaker 3: the best deal, I think is get your kid to
58:57
Speaker 3: buy a piece of property. So they do this account
59:00
Speaker 3: and by the time they're twenty eight, they've got two
59:03
Speaker 3: or three hundred thousand dollars in there. Take some of
59:06
Speaker 3: that out buy a piece of property, or buy two
59:11
Speaker 3: and make more money out of that money. That sounds
59:14
Speaker 3: like a good deal to me anyway. Keep it locked
59:16
Speaker 3: right here. There is more to come straight ahead. I'm
59:18
Speaker 3: Rich Valdez.
59:19
Speaker 4: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
59:31
Speaker 4: This is America with Rich Valdez.
59:34
Speaker 3: All right, I mean he goes welcome back. I didn't
59:36
Speaker 3: realize I went so long in that first segment beating
