Speaker 4: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an
0:30
Speaker 4: ass at Rich Valdez on all of the social media.
0:32
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Thursday night edition of the program. Blessed
0:36
Speaker 4: and honored to be here with you all. Thanks for
0:38
Speaker 4: joining our late night national town hall conversation seventeen blocks
0:42
Speaker 4: from Madison Square Garden right here in New York City
0:44
Speaker 4: in our Times Square studios, and our phone number if
0:47
Speaker 4: you want to join us is eight seven seven. I
0:50
Speaker 4: don't even know the number, eight seven seven Valdes one,
0:53
Speaker 4: eight seven seven Valdez one. Anyway, I want to get
0:57
Speaker 4: into a couple of things, some news that broke earlier today.
1:00
Speaker 4: Of course, President Trump being the first president to ever
1:03
Speaker 4: attend a oral arguments of the Supreme Court of the
1:08
Speaker 4: United States for the fourteenth Amendment case on birthright citizenship.
1:13
Speaker 4: And this of course really big deal, I think, because well,
1:17
Speaker 4: obviously it's a precedent setting thing. And b if you
1:21
Speaker 4: were watching it, the cameras were very interesting. As President
1:25
Speaker 4: Trump was leaving the hearing, guess what he's talking to
1:32
Speaker 4: Attorney General Pambondy. And moments later we hear reports that
1:39
Speaker 4: she is out. She's no longer going to be serving
1:43
Speaker 4: as the Attorney General of the United States. We got
1:46
Speaker 4: a report from Fox NEWSUS Peter Doucy on this one.
1:48
Speaker 5: Check this out, Kayley, I just got off the phone
1:51
Speaker 5: with President Trump.
1:51
Speaker 3: We have a big scoop.
1:53
Speaker 5: Pam Bondi will soon leave her job as the Attorney General.
1:58
Speaker 5: She is going to get a different job within the administration.
2:01
Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like there is any bad blood between
2:04
Speaker 5: her and President Trump, but it does seem like they
2:07
Speaker 5: want her to go and do something else, and in
2:10
Speaker 5: an interim role. She will be replaced by Todd Blanche,
2:14
Speaker 5: who is currently her deputy at the Justice Department. So
2:18
Speaker 5: it doesn't sound like Blanche is being elevated long term
2:22
Speaker 5: to the Attorney General. There might be somebody else that
2:24
Speaker 5: the President wants to go in there, but President Trump
2:27
Speaker 5: soon will announce to the entire world that it is
2:31
Speaker 5: the end of Pambondi's time as the Attorney General. He
2:35
Speaker 5: still thinks that she is a great person and that
2:38
Speaker 5: she did a good job, and he still wants her
2:41
Speaker 5: in the fold because she will still be an important
2:43
Speaker 5: part of the administration, he tells me, but no longer
2:47
Speaker 5: as the top law enforcement officer of the United States.
2:52
Speaker 5: That at least for a little while, is going to
2:54
Speaker 5: be Todd Blanche.
2:56
Speaker 4: So that's again Peter Doucy from the Fox News Channel.
2:58
Speaker 4: I'm bringing that news to life. And shortly after that
3:02
Speaker 4: posts making their way around the internet that this had
3:06
Speaker 4: a lot more to do with a certain coziness that
3:11
Speaker 4: Attorney General Bondi had. Now, again, this is all speculation,
3:13
Speaker 4: and I don't do this in any way to speak
3:16
Speaker 4: ill of Attorney General Bondi. I don't know her personally.
3:19
Speaker 4: I met her once in one of the suites at
3:21
Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden for the New York City Trump rally.
3:24
Speaker 4: She was very charming. She was there with Secretary Linda McMahon,
3:28
Speaker 4: who I've had on my show a couple of times,
3:30
Speaker 4: and you know, I said a quick hello, and that
3:33
Speaker 4: was it. So I couldn't you know I can pick
3:36
Speaker 4: her out of a lineup, because I've seen herund TV
3:38
Speaker 4: a million times. I doubt she could pick me out
3:40
Speaker 4: of a lineup. But that being said, a certain coziness
3:45
Speaker 4: is being described as what was had between Eric Swoalwell,
3:51
Speaker 4: the Congressman, and of course Attorney General BONDI listed to us.
3:55
Speaker 6: A through December of twenty twenty five, we received messages
3:58
Speaker 6: at my office that said, I hope so somebody shoots
4:00
Speaker 6: you and your children and your wife in the head.
4:03
Speaker 6: Pew pw motherfucker, pew pugh. I would stay indoors as
4:06
Speaker 6: much as possible, and my children, unfortunately have to do that.
4:10
Speaker 6: The Department of Justice has not charged this individual in
4:13
Speaker 6: cited that he's a prolific caller and has health conditions,
4:16
Speaker 6: although what we have found in our investigation and his
4:19
Speaker 6: voicemails is that he has said he will employ others
4:22
Speaker 6: to do this. The President can come after me. It's fine,
4:25
Speaker 6: I'm in the arena, so are these folks. But we
4:28
Speaker 6: never expected that the Department of Justice would not seek
4:32
Speaker 6: to prosecute and investigate those who are making threats against us,
4:36
Speaker 6: and that would include those on that side of the aisle,
4:38
Speaker 6: and I'm just asking for your help to protect life
4:42
Speaker 6: because life is at risk with the environment we're.
4:44
Speaker 7: In right now.
4:46
Speaker 8: Congressman, I completely agree with you. I know about several
4:51
Speaker 8: of those personally involving you. I believe one has been
4:56
Speaker 8: charged publicly, and there's something I would be happy to
5:00
Speaker 8: talk to you about off camera. But I can assure
5:04
Speaker 8: you that they are very serious. They are being looked into,
5:08
Speaker 8: and I can give you more details on those. None
5:11
Speaker 8: of you should be threatened ever, None of your children
5:15
Speaker 8: should be threatened. None of your families should be threatened.
5:19
Speaker 8: And I will work with you. Can come into my
5:21
Speaker 8: office any day. I will work with all of you
5:23
Speaker 8: on both sides of the aisle. If you are ever threatened,
5:26
Speaker 8: and I would, I'll gladly talk to you after this
5:29
Speaker 8: hearing about your cases. But I can tell you some
5:32
Speaker 8: of them are very active.
5:34
Speaker 4: So again that's an exchange. While Pam Bondi is under
5:37
Speaker 4: oath as attorney General in a hearing in that moment
5:40
Speaker 4: being led by Eric Swalwell, the congressman and Colin Rugg
5:46
Speaker 4: reporting that she was fired in part because President Trump
5:49
Speaker 4: believed that she had tipped off Eric Swalwell according to
5:52
Speaker 4: The Daily Mail. This thus far, I don't know about it,
5:58
Speaker 4: if it's verified or not, but I know this is
6:00
Speaker 4: what's being reported that Trump reportedly believes BONDI had tiptof
6:03
Speaker 4: Swalwell about the FBI's efforts to share investigative documents about
6:08
Speaker 4: his relationship with an alleged spy that we all know
6:11
Speaker 4: is Fang. Fang. The FBI was preparing a cash of
6:16
Speaker 4: documents on Swalwell's relationship with Christine Fang, and that was
6:21
Speaker 4: alleged by the Daily Mail. She's intervening in those matters.
6:25
Speaker 4: The White House wasn't pleased she was intervening due to
6:28
Speaker 4: her personal friendship with mister Swalwell. And that is what
6:31
Speaker 4: a source told the Daily Mail. It's a quote from
6:33
Speaker 4: their reporting. I don't know. I don't know the extent
6:36
Speaker 4: of it. I know that she did an amazing rock
6:39
Speaker 4: star job when she was defending the president as a civilian,
6:43
Speaker 4: as a citizen from Florida during his first impeachment. She
6:47
Speaker 4: was terrific. Then She's always been terrific in her analysis
6:51
Speaker 4: on Fox News. And I think some people feel that
6:54
Speaker 4: she left some business on the table that didn't do enough,
7:00
Speaker 4: you know, lacked much to be desired, if you will,
7:03
Speaker 4: with respect to prosecuting the lawbreakers, right Democrats that have
7:09
Speaker 4: been alleged or accused or believed to have broken the law.
7:13
Speaker 4: And I don't know the answer to that. Again, you've
7:17
Speaker 4: always known my thought on this. I don't think it's
7:19
Speaker 4: a Pam Bondi problem. I think it's a swamp problem.
7:22
Speaker 4: I don't believe that there are many individuals, right, you
7:25
Speaker 4: know who I think could do this type of thing
7:27
Speaker 4: who would be primed for it. Rudy Giuliani. I think
7:30
Speaker 4: Rudy Giuliani would be ready to go. I think the
7:34
Speaker 4: woman that they made out to be a crazy person,
7:36
Speaker 4: what's her name, Sidney Powell. I think Sidney Powell. I
7:42
Speaker 4: would venture to say that in both of those cases,
7:46
Speaker 4: then I do think that they would do a really
7:47
Speaker 4: good job. That in both cases, neither of them would
7:50
Speaker 4: get confirmed by the Senate. And I don't think President
7:54
Speaker 4: Trump would even nominate either of them, to be frank
7:57
Speaker 4: with you, why, I think I'll tell you why. I
8:01
Speaker 4: think that President Trump sees that as too much of
8:04
Speaker 4: an uphill battle. He realizes that every move he makes
8:07
Speaker 4: in Washington, he has to expend some political capital in
8:11
Speaker 4: some areas he has plenty of capital to expend. In
8:13
Speaker 4: others not so much. So you want to be careful
8:16
Speaker 4: on how you are expending your political capital. That's just
8:19
Speaker 4: the reality of the currency in Washington, d C. Now,
8:21
Speaker 4: do I think that guides and informs everything the president doesn't? No.
8:24
Speaker 4: I think the president is largely guided and informed by
8:28
Speaker 4: what he believes to be his right to do the
8:30
Speaker 4: right thing. So it's kind of like you and me.
8:32
Speaker 4: We think the right thing is to donate to this
8:34
Speaker 4: charity or to help this particular family in need. That's
8:37
Speaker 4: where our heart is. Then we go to our checkbook
8:39
Speaker 4: and we are I'm going to give you Oh wait,
8:41
Speaker 4: hold on, I can't give you ten thousand. Well maybe
8:43
Speaker 4: I can give you two. No, wait a second, maybe
8:46
Speaker 4: it's looking more like a grand Oh hold on, I
8:49
Speaker 4: just found out I got to buy some more orthodontire,
8:52
Speaker 4: So looks like it's going to be somewhere between two
8:54
Speaker 4: fifty and five hundred bucks. There are realities on the
8:57
Speaker 4: currency that you can expend based on what you have
9:00
Speaker 4: available to spend at the time you're spending it. That's it.
9:02
Speaker 4: There's not really a credit card unless you want to
9:05
Speaker 4: owe some favors, and even that, you know, comes with
9:07
Speaker 4: a cost. So I think that's part of the reason
9:09
Speaker 4: why I think the president is limited in who he
9:12
Speaker 4: can nominate and picks the best person when he picks them.
9:15
Speaker 4: That's that. So I'll keep you up to speed on that,
9:17
Speaker 4: because again I don't know the entirety of that case.
9:20
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's a little smear, I don't
9:23
Speaker 4: know anything. Honestly, I think Pam Bondi was great, and
9:26
Speaker 4: I don't think she was dragging her feet. I don't
9:28
Speaker 4: think that she was complicit in some Epstein thing. I
9:30
Speaker 4: don't think that she was part of the problem. I
9:33
Speaker 4: think that the solution that so many people and again
9:36
Speaker 4: when I say so many people, and I should probably
9:37
Speaker 4: say some people, that some people expect to bring everybody
9:40
Speaker 4: to the gallows, to bring everyone to the electric chair.
9:43
Speaker 4: You know, we're gonna see everybody from Maxine Waters and
9:47
Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi to Bill Gates to doctor Fauci, to Build Clinton,
9:51
Speaker 4: Barack Obama and everyone else for their crimes against humanity.
9:54
Speaker 4: This is not happening. Not happening, whether it deserves to
9:58
Speaker 4: happen or not, it's not happening.
10:00
Speaker 7: Now.
10:00
Speaker 4: Some might argue, well, the reason it's not happening is
10:02
Speaker 4: because of BONDI all right, time will tell if Todd
10:04
Speaker 4: Blanche is the ag. Todd Blanche is already on the
10:06
Speaker 4: record saying that he would not look into the Epstein
10:08
Speaker 4: files any further, that everything had to be done was done.
10:11
Speaker 4: So now we're gonna blame him, right and saying he's
10:14
Speaker 4: also complicit, that he's also the bad guy. Somehow what
10:17
Speaker 4: he's doing is wrong. I don't think that we can
10:18
Speaker 4: do that. I don't think it's appropriate anyway, Moving along,
10:21
Speaker 4: I also want to get into, let's see, oh yes,
10:26
Speaker 4: the latest on Iran. Forgive me, I'm a little slow
10:29
Speaker 4: motion here. Plus those molester stories. I wanted to get
10:31
Speaker 4: into these teachers that are being accused of sexual misconduct
10:35
Speaker 4: with students. Is there a theme? Is there something that
10:39
Speaker 4: is common amongst each situation? I don't know. I don't
10:42
Speaker 4: know the answer, but we're going to find that out
10:44
Speaker 4: when we return. Don't go anywhere. I'm rich child, that's
10:47
Speaker 4: this is America.
10:58
Speaker 2: This is America.
11:21
Speaker 4: All right, up, he goes, Welcome back, Rich Valdez, Valdest.
11:24
Speaker 4: We got ask that Rich Valdest on all off the
11:27
Speaker 4: social media Welcome back, Happy Thursday to you. And I
11:32
Speaker 4: want to get into this story right, very interesting story
11:37
Speaker 4: on CBS News. CBS News reporting about this fraud case.
11:44
Speaker 4: As you know, doctor Oz has been making the rounds
11:47
Speaker 4: talking about fraud in many different places, not the least
11:51
Speaker 4: of which in California and Minnesota. And we've got this
11:56
Speaker 4: fraud story that I gotta tell. It's like it doesn't
11:58
Speaker 4: go away. This one's coming out of La Listen.
12:00
Speaker 7: To this, right.
12:13
Speaker 9: So, I'm on the scene of a FBI led raid
12:17
Speaker 9: of a home owned by a husband and wife, a
12:20
Speaker 9: psychologist and a nurse, who the FBI says ran a
12:23
Speaker 9: fraudulent hospice for years, racking up over seven million dollars.
12:27
Speaker 3: In fraudulent payments. I don't know if you can get
12:31
Speaker 3: a sense, but.
12:33
Speaker 7: We are.
12:35
Speaker 10: In a very very nice part of town. We're in
12:38
Speaker 10: the city of San Dimas in a very early area.
12:42
Speaker 10: Homes are all behind gates and essentially hidden behind all
12:50
Speaker 10: of the screenery here. This is a very private, exclusive area.
12:54
Speaker 10: You wonder where the money from hospice fraud goes.
12:58
Speaker 3: Some of it goes to funding a certain certain lifestyle.
13:03
Speaker 3: See one one.
13:04
Speaker 11: Arrest a man as one person a man in custody. Uh,
13:11
Speaker 11: this is uh the alleged this is the owner of
13:16
Speaker 11: an alleged fraudulent aprospice.
13:19
Speaker 3: Uh, this would probably be I guess the psychologist.
13:22
Speaker 11: I see to see further back, a woman being escorted
13:27
Speaker 11: as well.
13:28
Speaker 3: I see two people. I see a few.
13:30
Speaker 12: People being escorted.
13:31
Speaker 2: Actually a few of those I.
13:34
Speaker 3: Think I've seen many four five. Anyway, we're seeing a
13:39
Speaker 3: number of people.
13:40
Speaker 11: Being escorted out under the last retirement five duality.
13:46
Speaker 7: Too.
13:48
Speaker 11: Not entirely clear who's who, but we do know that
13:51
Speaker 11: two of the targets included a husband, a life team
13:54
Speaker 11: and a husband a psychologist and life and.
13:58
Speaker 3: Nurse the same time. Fauger dispis for many years.
14:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, guy, all right, bring that down a little bit.
14:05
Speaker 4: This guy, I don't know his name. His name Adam
14:09
Speaker 4: my My, Adam Maya Gucci. I'm sorry, I can't say
14:15
Speaker 4: the name, but Adam nice. Try here to report on
14:19
Speaker 4: the news. But you're not giving us much news. I
14:21
Speaker 4: don't know what's going on here. I can barely hear him.
14:23
Speaker 4: But just like CNN would bring people like when they
14:28
Speaker 4: rated Roger Stone, CBS News is not bringing this guy
14:31
Speaker 4: on these things. So it doesn't matter what side of
14:33
Speaker 4: the aisle you're on, right, there's always going to be
14:34
Speaker 4: somebody with a camera when the swat team is here
14:37
Speaker 4: to take you down. And again that's the case here
14:41
Speaker 4: these guys doing their reports, CBS News reporting that these
14:47
Speaker 4: this doctor and nurse were defrauding the government. Right, very
14:54
Speaker 4: interesting stuff coming out of Los Angeles. And this is
15:00
Speaker 4: this is I mean, I guess it comes as no surprise, right,
15:04
Speaker 4: Why is it no surprise, Well, because doctor Oz was
15:06
Speaker 4: out there talking about this for quite a while, not
15:09
Speaker 4: that long ago, and he said, we're hitting it hard,
15:12
Speaker 4: and he's leading this initiative to go ahead and bring
15:16
Speaker 4: people down. And now I think they've brought in around
15:20
Speaker 4: eight different people in the last couple of days with
15:24
Speaker 4: respect to healthcare fraud right in southern California. This one,
15:30
Speaker 4: let's see here, they used fifty million bucks. It seems
15:35
Speaker 4: they were using healthy patients, luring them into this scam
15:40
Speaker 4: just to get kickbacks. Yeah, this is verre. They used
15:42
Speaker 4: hundreds of people, by the way, all right, this is
15:46
Speaker 4: the reporting from the foxnews dot com website. A sweeping
15:50
Speaker 4: federal takedown in Los Angeles has exposed what prosecutors are
15:54
Speaker 4: saying is a brazen, multimillion dollar scheme that turned an
15:58
Speaker 4: end of life care program into a cash allegedly using
16:01
Speaker 4: people who weren't even dying to rip off taxpayers out
16:04
Speaker 4: of more than fifty million bucks. Eight defendants, including nurses,
16:08
Speaker 4: a chiropractor, and an alleged psychologists, were arrested in a
16:13
Speaker 4: crackdown targeting sham hospice operations and fraudulent medical building schemes.
16:19
Speaker 4: According to the Department of Justice, at the center of
16:21
Speaker 4: the case, hospice companies are accused of signing up healthy patients,
16:27
Speaker 4: paying kickbacks, and pocketing millions from Medicare for treatment that
16:31
Speaker 4: was never needed or never provided. Here's a quote. We
16:36
Speaker 4: are enforcing a zero tolerance policy for criminals who defraud
16:40
Speaker 4: American taxpayers. That's first United States Attorney Bill Assale on Yeah,
16:46
Speaker 4: today Thursday. Now, the defendants arrested this morning who were
16:51
Speaker 4: charged with stealing millions of dollars of health care benefits,
16:54
Speaker 4: got caught and now they face years in federal prison.
16:58
Speaker 4: One of the most strikingations involved an Anaheim nurse, Lalita Minrd,
17:03
Speaker 4: who prosecutors say ran a hospice business that recruited patients
17:06
Speaker 4: that I'm at a market promising them free services and
17:10
Speaker 4: three hundred dollars in months as long as they enrolled right,
17:15
Speaker 4: three hundred dollars in cash excuse me per month. Another
17:18
Speaker 4: one was a couple who signed up who weren't terminal ill,
17:21
Speaker 4: something their doctor confirmed, but were allegedly plaid six hundred
17:26
Speaker 4: dollars a month in envelopes of cash while Medicare was
17:29
Speaker 4: billed for end of life care. Mister excuse missminrd's company
17:35
Speaker 4: alone submitted more than nine point one million dollars in
17:38
Speaker 4: forra audulent claims, collecting roughly eight and a half million
17:41
Speaker 4: from taxpayers. Wow, let's see what else we got here.
17:47
Speaker 4: Investigators say that the pattern repeated across multiple cases. Patients
17:51
Speaker 4: who weren't dying were enrolled in hospice and these marketers
17:56
Speaker 4: were paid illegal kickbacks, and the providers were cashing on this,
18:00
Speaker 4: all while delivering little or no legitimate care the defendants
18:04
Speaker 4: charged today. This is again according to the Inspector General T.
18:09
Speaker 4: March Bell from the Department of Health and Human Services,
18:13
Speaker 4: saying that the defendant's charge today allegedly turned hospice care
18:16
Speaker 4: into a cash producing operation, were resulting in more than
18:19
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars in losses to taxpayers, and anyone who
18:23
Speaker 4: seeks to weaponize hospice care to builk Medicare should expect
18:27
Speaker 4: to be held accountable. In another case, a Covida, California couple,
18:32
Speaker 4: a nurse and a self described psychologist that's the one
18:34
Speaker 4: the CBS was reporting on, allegedly pulled in more than
18:37
Speaker 4: four million in Medicare and spent it on mortgages, international travel, restaurants,
18:42
Speaker 4: and personal bills. Well, I mean, when people enriched themselves,
18:46
Speaker 4: that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna spend it, you know,
18:47
Speaker 4: on their cost of living. It's not like they're gonna
18:50
Speaker 4: come out and say, yeah, we stole four million bucks
18:52
Speaker 4: and we decided to make a film. Come on, they're
18:55
Speaker 4: going to buy stuff and live life, take trips. Federal
18:58
Speaker 4: prosecutors say one repeat offender went even further, allegedly running
19:03
Speaker 4: multiple fraudulent hospice companies while allegedly facing charges in separate
19:08
Speaker 4: in a separate case and legally barred from operating such businesses.
19:11
Speaker 4: Look at that, he was like, all right, well, while
19:13
Speaker 4: I'm going to trial for this and you guys are
19:14
Speaker 4: looking at me over here, I might as well just
19:16
Speaker 4: go ahead and run thees. It'll take you that long
19:18
Speaker 4: to get me by. Then I will make more money now.
19:21
Speaker 4: In addition to hospice fraud, authority say the takedown and
19:24
Speaker 4: covered nineteen million dollars a scheme targeting Labor Union's health plan.
19:30
Speaker 4: The defendants allegedly build for fake or unnecessary chiropractic and
19:33
Speaker 4: therapy services and even fabricated patient records. Today's arrests are
19:39
Speaker 4: another decisive strike on our war on fraud. Department of
19:42
Speaker 4: Labor Inspector General Anthony Esposito said, if you steal from
19:47
Speaker 4: workers or taxpayers, your time is up. We will find you,
19:50
Speaker 4: investigate you, and hold you accountable. So that's what we
19:54
Speaker 4: got going on here coming out of Southern California. And
19:58
Speaker 4: I think it's interesting, right, very interesting. Southern California seems
20:02
Speaker 4: to be a hotbed, just like daycare fraud was a
20:05
Speaker 4: hotbed for the folks in the Somali communities in Minnesota.
20:10
Speaker 4: In Minneapolis. Now you've got Southern California where people are
20:14
Speaker 4: doing what they do. Very interesting stuff. Now these guys
20:18
Speaker 4: are taking this very seriously. They're saying that healthcare fraud
20:20
Speaker 4: undermines federal programs, threatens public trust diff its resources away
20:25
Speaker 4: from legitimate patient care, and all those that profit at
20:30
Speaker 4: the expense of the taxpayers and patients will be held accountable.
20:33
Speaker 4: So everybody is doing their things. They're on their game.
20:37
Speaker 4: They're minding their p's and queues, which, for those of
20:41
Speaker 4: you who may not know, means minding your pints and courts.
20:44
Speaker 4: It's a bar expression from Europe. Anyway, I've convicted many
20:50
Speaker 4: of these defendants face up to ten years in federal prison,
20:53
Speaker 4: with some charges carrying even longer sentences. All right, anyway,
21:02
Speaker 4: that's the latest on is healthcare fraud. Now, I'll tell
21:05
Speaker 4: you this, I am. I'm glad to see it. Not
21:10
Speaker 4: much I can add to this other than a couple
21:12
Speaker 4: of months back, I did a story about a guy
21:16
Speaker 4: named doctor a man what was his name, Muhammad Muhammad Kasmir,
21:24
Speaker 4: I think it was doctor Kasmir ka z M I
21:27
Speaker 4: R I think and uh. He was a regular MD,
21:33
Speaker 4: you know, internal medicine that began to offer different services
21:40
Speaker 4: in in his practice. You know, he had a place
21:43
Speaker 4: in Manhattan Park Avenue, he had a place in several
21:48
Speaker 4: places in Jersey. And I I'd met this guy and
21:55
Speaker 4: he was not Kasmir. What was his name anyway, drawn
22:02
Speaker 4: a blank, But anyway, I met the guy and he
22:04
Speaker 4: was like, oh, yeah, oh, you do like, you know,
22:07
Speaker 4: marketing through radio and whatever. At the time, I was
22:10
Speaker 4: doing these red carpet parties. Excuse me, and I said
22:14
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, And you know, he's like, oh, I would
22:16
Speaker 4: like to you know, promote my business. I do a
22:19
Speaker 4: lot of esthetic skincare stuff. And I was like, oh,
22:23
Speaker 4: like a dermatologist and he was like, no, I'm you know,
22:26
Speaker 4: I'm an internist, but you know, we offer a lot
22:28
Speaker 4: of very customized service and blah blah blah blah blah.
22:31
Speaker 4: And I had done this type of thing in the
22:32
Speaker 4: past with another doctor, very reputable, and he had a
22:36
Speaker 4: lot of celebrity clients, and that was why he was
22:38
Speaker 4: interested in coming to this red carpet event that I
22:40
Speaker 4: was producing because it was in part we were donating
22:44
Speaker 4: some of the money to VH one Save the Music Foundation,
22:47
Speaker 4: and there was going to be you know, a handful
22:48
Speaker 4: of celebrities there, so he wanted to put his brand
22:52
Speaker 4: in front of those people and you know, get referrals
22:55
Speaker 4: from them to their celebrity friends, et cetera. So it
22:58
Speaker 4: made sense for him, and I was telling this guy
23:01
Speaker 4: about that, and he said, yeah, I want to do
23:03
Speaker 4: that too. You know what's it cause how does it work? Well?
23:05
Speaker 4: You know, you know, do you need anything that I
23:07
Speaker 4: that I have or I offer? And long story short,
23:14
Speaker 4: he nice guy, but I remember seeing him and him saying,
23:22
Speaker 4: you know what's going on? You need anything? And I
23:24
Speaker 4: was like, no, I'm good for now. You know, if
23:26
Speaker 4: I need anything, I'll let you know. And you know,
23:28
Speaker 4: I'll let you know when the next event I have
23:30
Speaker 4: coming up. And I said, you know, how are things
23:33
Speaker 4: you're still doing your thing with, you know in the
23:35
Speaker 4: city I'm park have And he said, no, man, they
23:38
Speaker 4: gave me a hard time there at my license. You know,
23:41
Speaker 4: they're giving me a hard time. So if you know
23:43
Speaker 4: anybody who needs anything, just you know. I'm working out
23:45
Speaker 4: of my my office in Jersey and out of my house.
23:49
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh interesting. And then one day
23:52
Speaker 4: I'm just reading an article and it was him. He'd
23:56
Speaker 4: been arrested for billing Amtrak the healthcare the health insurance
24:02
Speaker 4: company for Amtrak workers like Amtrak police and Amtrak you know,
24:08
Speaker 4: railroad workers for all sorts of things that they never did.
24:14
Speaker 4: I don't know if he was paying some of them.
24:15
Speaker 4: I think he might have been paying some of them
24:17
Speaker 4: and they were in on it. But for the most part,
24:18
Speaker 4: I think he just got access to their records and
24:20
Speaker 4: just build them. And yeah, and he got in trouble
24:23
Speaker 4: when he went to jail. It was at least that's
24:26
Speaker 4: I believe what was alleged by the US attorney in
24:28
Speaker 4: New Jersey who indicted him. And I thought to myself, man,
24:32
Speaker 4: can you believe that, Like this guy was once a
24:35
Speaker 4: doctor on Park Avenue and now he's likely locked up
24:39
Speaker 4: and again, nice guy. It just really really something. Anyway,
24:46
Speaker 4: that was my two cents on that. I'm gonna pause
24:48
Speaker 4: it right here. We're gonna come right back. We're going
24:50
Speaker 4: to talk about a series of articles that I saw
24:54
Speaker 4: online and in the New York Posts and other places
24:57
Speaker 4: that had a very similar theme. Teachers that we're getting
25:02
Speaker 4: sexually involved with their students. And I don't know all
25:05
Speaker 4: the answers to this here, Like I don't know if
25:07
Speaker 4: these are you know, gross middle aged men messing around
25:12
Speaker 4: with small kids, or I do know in some cases
25:15
Speaker 4: they were women between the ages of twenty seven and
25:17
Speaker 4: forty seven messing around with students. And my thinking is,
25:21
Speaker 4: who are these students. What is going on here? And
25:25
Speaker 4: I was so confusing. I still have a lot of questions,
25:27
Speaker 4: but I'm going to share some of that stuff with
25:29
Speaker 4: you and re return. Keep it locked right here. I'm
25:31
Speaker 4: Rich Valdees.
25:32
Speaker 2: This is America. This is America.
25:48
Speaker 5: The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
25:51
Speaker 5: to speak.
25:52
Speaker 4: With Rich Valdes.
25:53
Speaker 2: Oh, very good.
25:58
Speaker 4: The honor is all you conservative talk with a dash
26:03
Speaker 4: of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez. All right, amigos, welcome back.
26:10
Speaker 4: And I wanted to bring your attention over to this
26:13
Speaker 4: story that I saw that I thought, man, this is
26:17
Speaker 4: wild stuff. Now this is a little bit old, and
26:20
Speaker 4: I'm just going to replay it for the sake of
26:23
Speaker 4: showing you a theme that while this happened around Christmas time,
26:27
Speaker 4: it happened again in January, again in February. Here we
26:30
Speaker 4: are in March April, and it seems to not be stopping.
26:34
Speaker 4: So listen to this. Out of Arizona News twelve.
26:38
Speaker 13: Kopa County Attorney's Office is looking at felony chargers for
26:41
Speaker 13: two Peoria High School teachers from the same school. It
26:44
Speaker 13: comes are after an investigation film they allegedly engaged in
26:48
Speaker 13: sexual relationships with underage students.
26:50
Speaker 14: Twelve News journalist Sean Rice reviewed both police reports and Sean,
26:54
Speaker 14: you're joining us now in studio with what you found.
26:57
Speaker 15: Yeah, Troy krebagod eating to you both. Peoria Police spent
27:00
Speaker 15: the last five months collecting evidence against two Centennial High
27:04
Speaker 15: School teachers. One is twenty seven years old and the
27:07
Speaker 15: other is forty seven years old. We are not naming
27:10
Speaker 15: either educator because they have yet to be charged criminally,
27:14
Speaker 15: but the allegations in these two police reports are incredibly concerning. Now.
27:18
Speaker 15: Peoria PD began their investigation back in July. That's when
27:21
Speaker 15: parents of a sixteen and seventeen year old boys both
27:25
Speaker 15: came forward with evidence that this forty seven year old
27:27
Speaker 15: teacher had been sending explicit, sexually explicit photos and videos
27:32
Speaker 15: to their children. The woman declined to answer questions from police,
27:36
Speaker 15: even though they had them in their possession, but police
27:38
Speaker 15: analyzed the tattoos on the woman's body in those they
27:41
Speaker 15: concluded she was the person in these videos. Then Peoria
27:45
Speaker 15: police opened an investigatation into another female teacher. They collected
27:49
Speaker 15: mountains of digital evidence proving the teacher was asking to
27:53
Speaker 15: perform sexual acts on a male minor student. They performed
27:56
Speaker 15: a search warrant at that Peoria apartment complex. They collected
27:59
Speaker 15: her call and in the backseat they found bodily fluids
28:03
Speaker 15: from unknown people. They also found money exchanges of six
28:07
Speaker 15: hundred and thirty dollars paid from the teacher to the
28:10
Speaker 15: students over a two month period. And as you just
28:12
Speaker 15: saw in one of those text messages, the teacher said, quote,
28:16
Speaker 15: this money exchange feels like straight prostitution. Peoria police have
28:20
Speaker 15: recommended she'd be charged with pandering for prostitution. They argue
28:24
Speaker 15: they use the money to coerce the minor student to
28:27
Speaker 15: engage in sexual acts with her. The key to this case,
28:30
Speaker 15: according to a criminal defense attorney, is having these minor
28:33
Speaker 15: victims willing to take the stand in a court of law.
28:37
Speaker 4: Can you believe that that is wild? Johnny Carson wanna
28:40
Speaker 4: say that has some weird wild stuff. Now it doesn't
28:43
Speaker 4: end there. Now they bring in the lawyer and they
28:45
Speaker 4: do the rest of this news package. Let me tell you,
28:47
Speaker 4: I'm gonna play it all just because I thought it
28:49
Speaker 4: was so eye opening. Then I'm going to show you
28:51
Speaker 4: the trend that has emerged in multiple other cases that
28:55
Speaker 4: are very similar. Listen to this.
29:00
Speaker 16: A lot of times the prosecutor needs a victim, and
29:02
Speaker 16: that's why some of these cases it takes so long
29:04
Speaker 16: to bring a case because sometimes victims are reluctant to
29:08
Speaker 16: testify because of emotional history and trauma and they might
29:12
Speaker 16: not want to come forward to become public.
29:16
Speaker 15: You can certainly understand that, but that is the key
29:18
Speaker 15: to a potential prosecution. That Peoria Unified School District says.
29:21
Speaker 15: Both teachers are now on administrative leave. They've been on
29:24
Speaker 15: leave for the past several months. The district is conducting
29:27
Speaker 15: their own investigation into these alleged criminal activities, you know,
29:32
Speaker 15: sexual acts that may have been performed. That is an
29:34
Speaker 15: investigation that is completely separate from the one being conducted
29:37
Speaker 15: by Peoria police. Now police set this case to prosecutors
29:41
Speaker 15: for review back on November eighteenth, the Maricopa County Attorney's
29:45
Speaker 15: Office could not give me a timeframe on when they
29:47
Speaker 15: will make a charging decision.
29:49
Speaker 14: Try so, Sean, were these two incidents connected, like, were
29:54
Speaker 14: the teachers somehow connected to each other? And this was
29:57
Speaker 14: a whole you know, you know, coordinated in all four.
30:01
Speaker 15: Of it's talked about that Peoria police was looking into
30:04
Speaker 15: whether or not there was messages between these two teachers.
30:07
Speaker 15: They couldn't find a lot of evidence that connected they
30:09
Speaker 15: were working in coercion or anything connected to one another,
30:13
Speaker 15: besides maybe seeing each other in class every day or
30:16
Speaker 15: in school every day. What I will say is it's
30:18
Speaker 15: talked about extensively with other minors. Peoria police interviewed that
30:22
Speaker 15: this was known in the school. This was known that
30:24
Speaker 15: these two teachers were having maybe some sexual relations with
30:27
Speaker 15: minor students that they should not have been.
30:29
Speaker 13: And even exchanging money for those acts.
30:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one case. All right, we'll see what happens
30:33
Speaker 4: with this. Thank you. Known in the school. They were prostitutes,
30:38
Speaker 4: not the teachers. The teachers were, obviously John's. I laughed,
30:42
Speaker 4: not because I think it's funny, because I think it's
30:44
Speaker 4: just so crazy, right, that's the uh, the laugh of
30:48
Speaker 4: incredulity here. It's hard to believe this stuff, but that
30:52
Speaker 4: is in fact an actual case. Now I'm going to
30:56
Speaker 4: double back here to these stories that I found. They're
31:01
Speaker 4: labeled right here. Listen to this. Here's the first one
31:07
Speaker 4: wild stuff, And I thought to myself, man, this is
31:10
Speaker 4: really really something. Now this one has a photo of
31:13
Speaker 4: the teacher her mug shot, I wouldn't give her a
31:17
Speaker 4: time of day. Next to it a headshot and yeah,
31:21
Speaker 4: I probably, you know, talked to her at a bar
31:23
Speaker 4: or something. You know, she's not pretty but not ugly,
31:26
Speaker 4: and you know it seems like a friendly face. Now,
31:30
Speaker 4: let's see here if this has the link to the
31:32
Speaker 4: article that I'm looking for. The caption here Teacher of
31:36
Speaker 4: the Year finalists couldn't keep away from this kid that
31:39
Speaker 4: she was charged having sex with. So the headline here,
31:44
Speaker 4: she's pretty stupid. I would agree with that. This is
31:47
Speaker 4: the story of the Teacher of the Year finalists for
31:50
Speaker 4: Colorado's Teacher of the Year used music and drugs to
31:53
Speaker 4: groom a sixteen year old student for sex and then
31:55
Speaker 4: continue to contact him even after she was fired and
31:58
Speaker 4: hit with serious charges. Who does this stuff? I mean,
32:02
Speaker 4: that's just wild stuff. Anyway. Her name Tara Johnson Swartz,
32:07
Speaker 4: and she's now been sentenced to fourteen years in prison
32:09
Speaker 4: after being hit with two criminal cases, the first following
32:12
Speaker 4: a grand jury investigation into her relationship with a teen
32:17
Speaker 4: for the second and the second account for continuing contact
32:20
Speaker 4: with that same teen in defiance of court orders telling
32:23
Speaker 4: her not to. Here's a quote coming from one of
32:26
Speaker 4: the fidavit's involved here, obtained by CBS News. She is
32:29
Speaker 4: pretty stupid. I'm not gonna lie, the victim told police
32:32
Speaker 4: after her second arrest. That's the victim wow. Calling her
32:37
Speaker 4: an unstable woman already ruined her life and she keeps
32:41
Speaker 4: making it worse. That's another quote from the victim. The
32:44
Speaker 4: former teacher at Stems School in Highlands Ranch, just outside
32:49
Speaker 4: of Denver is a predator who will now have to
32:51
Speaker 4: live with that label for decades. According to Douglas County
32:54
Speaker 4: District Attorney George Bruschler, she began texting and exchanging music
33:00
Speaker 4: playlists in twenty twenty four, when the student was just
33:02
Speaker 4: sixteen years old. The Affidavid showed. She later brought him
33:06
Speaker 4: cigarettes and then let him use her marijuana vape pen
33:10
Speaker 4: before they started to have sex. According to police, Their
33:13
Speaker 4: relationship was discovered and reported to police in January of
33:16
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, five months after Johnson Swartz had been
33:20
Speaker 4: named one of the seventh finalists in Colorado's Teacher or
33:23
Speaker 4: the Year award. That's so funny, I laughed, because I
33:28
Speaker 4: have my own stories about stupid things like this, not
33:31
Speaker 4: that I was involved in, but things that I'd heard
33:32
Speaker 4: when I was in high school. Let's see here we continue.
33:38
Speaker 4: Their relationship was discovered and reported to police in January
33:41
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, just months after Johnson Swartz had been
33:45
Speaker 4: named one of the seventh finalists for Colorado's Teacher the
33:48
Speaker 4: Year award. School officials immediately suspended her, and she was
33:52
Speaker 4: later fired and banned from campus. However, less than a
33:56
Speaker 4: month later, on February eighteenth, twenty twenty five, the student
33:59
Speaker 4: was caught on security camera leaving the school and jumping
34:02
Speaker 4: into Johnson Schwartz's car. He later told investigators she drove
34:06
Speaker 4: him to a nearby neighborhood. She was later indicted and
34:10
Speaker 4: arrested on charges of felony, kidnapping, three counts of sexual
34:13
Speaker 4: assault on a child, and contributing to the delinquency of
34:17
Speaker 4: a minor. She was released on a one hundred thousand
34:20
Speaker 4: dollars bond the following day, but continued to contact the
34:24
Speaker 4: student against court orders. According to the documents that the
34:26
Speaker 4: court provided, over the fourth of July weekend last year,
34:30
Speaker 4: the teacher and the boy ran into well, the boy.
34:32
Speaker 4: The guy is seventeen years old now, but we'll still
34:34
Speaker 4: call him the boy. Ran into each other on back
34:39
Speaker 4: to back nights at a music venue in Greenwood Village.
34:43
Speaker 4: The band playing Both Knights was among those on the
34:46
Speaker 4: playlists the two had shared. At one point, she cornered
34:50
Speaker 4: the teen and just told him just say you don't
34:52
Speaker 4: love me. Oh man, it's like some fiddle attraction stuff.
34:58
Speaker 4: After seeing him both nights, Johnson Swore continued to text him.
35:02
Speaker 4: The boy and his parents reported the encounter to the police,
35:06
Speaker 4: and she was arrested again at her house. After she
35:11
Speaker 4: was quit teaching, she had found a job at a
35:14
Speaker 4: fast food restaurant. The boy said he was not surprised
35:17
Speaker 4: she was unable to stay away from him, calling her
35:20
Speaker 4: an unstable woman. She'd throw away her entire life for me,
35:24
Speaker 4: and I'm not entirely surprised by the fact that she
35:26
Speaker 4: then would have trouble letting go, because she did throw
35:30
Speaker 4: her life away for me. But no, I never told
35:33
Speaker 4: her I loved her, and she never said that to me,
35:35
Speaker 4: he said, according to the affidavit. Wow, so that was
35:40
Speaker 4: the first story that caught my eye that brought me
35:42
Speaker 4: into that next story. And there's yet another one that
35:45
Speaker 4: I'll get into. Really just wild, I mean, I don't
35:50
Speaker 4: know about you. But I don't hear about this stuff
35:51
Speaker 4: on a daily basis. And when I was in school,
35:54
Speaker 4: things like this didn't happen. I'll tell you the things
35:56
Speaker 4: that did happen when I was in school, but this
35:59
Speaker 4: is not one of those things. Let's see next story.
36:05
Speaker 4: This one here. New Jersey teacher had sex with a
36:10
Speaker 4: student six times after grooming him starting at age twelve.
36:16
Speaker 4: Prosecutors saying, you strip me of my innocence. Ooh, this
36:23
Speaker 4: is a younger teacher, younger looking. Let's see New Jersey
36:29
Speaker 4: teacher grooming. You stripped me of my innocence. That's the headline.
36:33
Speaker 4: A married former New Jersey middle school teacher had sex
36:36
Speaker 4: with her students six times and then continued to carry
36:39
Speaker 4: out six years of grooming, manipulation, and abuse, starting with
36:43
Speaker 4: a boy was just twelve years old, according to a prosecutor.
36:47
Speaker 4: According to bail hearing last Wednesday, Ashley Fissler, thirty six
36:52
Speaker 4: years old, had sex with her student and then continued
36:56
Speaker 4: sexting with him for years, as recently January twenty twenty six,
37:02
Speaker 4: even after the teen told her he wanted her out
37:05
Speaker 4: of his life. Gloucester County Prosecutor Kylie Finley alleged in
37:09
Speaker 4: her indictment, saying quote, this was more than just six
37:14
Speaker 4: isolated acts of sex abuse against the minor. Finley said,
37:17
Speaker 4: this was a pattern of six years of grooming, manipulation,
37:20
Speaker 4: and abuse by this defendant as a middle school teacher
37:23
Speaker 4: against one of her active and former students. Fissler, who
37:27
Speaker 4: appeared from Salem County by video from the jail there,
37:32
Speaker 4: looked on during the nearly hour long hearing, wearing dark
37:37
Speaker 4: green jail scrubs and only speaking to confirm her name,
37:40
Speaker 4: saying Ashley Fissler. Through the years, miss Fissler, a social
37:46
Speaker 4: studies teacher at Orchard Valley Middle School in Washington Township,
37:51
Speaker 4: exchanged disturbing messages with the teen, including offering to buy
37:55
Speaker 4: him a sex toy, shave his pubic hair, asking him
38:00
Speaker 4: I'm reading directly from the article by the way in
38:01
Speaker 4: the New York Post, asking him to describe the sex
38:04
Speaker 4: he had with girls his age, recommending steamy movies to him,
38:08
Speaker 4: and requesting he sent her photos of himself. Wow, definitely
38:15
Speaker 4: never happened to me. When I was in school, the
38:17
Speaker 4: most I ever got was a note to my parents
38:19
Speaker 4: saying we want to see them. In addition to back
38:22
Speaker 4: to school night, and that never went over well. Finley
38:25
Speaker 4: said her office had seven thousand, five hundred pages of
38:30
Speaker 4: text messages between the teacher and the boy as she
38:33
Speaker 4: argued that Miss Fissler beheld without bail while her case
38:38
Speaker 4: played out. Finley, the prosecutor, explained the pair sent explicit
38:43
Speaker 4: photos of themselves to each other, but her office was
38:46
Speaker 4: unable to recover them. Finley said that the victim's statements
38:50
Speaker 4: to the police were corroborated by the text to her office,
38:54
Speaker 4: and they've been going on since twenty twenty three straight
38:57
Speaker 4: through twenty twenty six. In August ninth message from twenty
39:02
Speaker 4: twenty three, the teacher was reminiscing with the victim about
39:06
Speaker 4: when the victim was in middle school, specifically at a
39:10
Speaker 4: time that the victim came to her classroom on her
39:14
Speaker 4: prep period and the defendant made out with the victim
39:18
Speaker 4: and they were grinding. So, when this guy was in
39:20
Speaker 4: middle school, I guess, saying he was twelve or thirteen
39:23
Speaker 4: or something like that, he was making out with a
39:25
Speaker 4: teacher who then was thirty three years old. Wow, Finley said, asking,
39:34
Speaker 4: adding excuse me, Finley is the prosecutor. Fistley is the defendant,
39:38
Speaker 4: adding that this match specific details he gave to investigators.
39:41
Speaker 4: The prosecutor also said the victim to old Fistler, he
39:44
Speaker 4: was struggling mentally, and I can't imagine why. I'm honestly,
39:50
Speaker 4: I think if this were to happen to me, and
39:51
Speaker 4: I don't know, but if this word happened to me,
39:56
Speaker 4: I don't know that I would struggle mentally. I would likely,
40:00
Speaker 4: you know, feel like I'm the man. But that's just
40:06
Speaker 4: me and all of my friends. I think we would
40:09
Speaker 4: all agree with that. Anyway, He was struggling mentally and
40:13
Speaker 4: physically in school because of his relationship with the teacher.
40:16
Speaker 4: In December of twenty three, he confided with the teacher
40:19
Speaker 4: that he was thinking about her and getting excited, etc. Etc.
40:23
Speaker 4: She creepily responded, according to the post, oh my gosh,
40:27
Speaker 4: that's fantastic. What a frick guy. The deed also began
40:32
Speaker 4: telling Fistler about his mental health struggles in twenty twenty three.
40:35
Speaker 4: She responded, I feel like I forced you to grow
40:37
Speaker 4: up abnormally quick. Wow, that's pretty deep. And another time
40:40
Speaker 4: she told him I take the blame for all of this.
40:42
Speaker 4: When he said he didn't want to sleep with the
40:44
Speaker 4: girls his own age because he worried he'd think of her.
40:48
Speaker 4: She just said, don't call her Ashley in bed, which
40:51
Speaker 4: was her name. He eventually told her about an encounter
40:55
Speaker 4: he had with another girl, another teenage girl, and she
40:58
Speaker 4: told him I wish it was me, and then went
41:00
Speaker 4: on to asking graphic questions. The victim can't even have
41:04
Speaker 4: a normal sexual encounter with an age appropriate person without
41:08
Speaker 4: her making it about her, the prosecutor said. The teenager
41:13
Speaker 4: tried multiple times to break off the relationship, but the
41:16
Speaker 4: teacher continued trying to control him, also having him check
41:22
Speaker 4: in with her at least weekly and in most cases daily.
41:27
Speaker 4: The teenager wrote a message to her saying quote, I
41:31
Speaker 4: have to be really I have to be. I have
41:36
Speaker 4: to try. I have to try really hard to rebuild
41:39
Speaker 4: the things you broke inside of me. You destroyed things
41:43
Speaker 4: inside of me, you stripped me of my innocence. Well,
41:48
Speaker 4: either he was really hurt or that's something the prosecutors
41:51
Speaker 4: told him to write as part of their case, because
41:53
Speaker 4: I can't imagine a kid that age saying that just
41:55
Speaker 4: seems so mature. Anyway. By January of twenty twenty six,
42:00
Speaker 4: he told the teacher, I don't want you in my
42:02
Speaker 4: life anymore. I'm getting older and I look back on
42:04
Speaker 4: the situation, I can't help but see you as a
42:07
Speaker 4: manipulative and selfish, she wrote back, adding he says there's
42:11
Speaker 4: no remorse here, and when Fissler eventually quit teaching, she
42:16
Speaker 4: said the reason was because she blurred the lines with
42:19
Speaker 4: another student. The teen reported the abuse to the police
42:22
Speaker 4: in January, also alleging exchange that they exchange in oh,
42:27
Speaker 4: that she exchanged inappropriate messages with two other students, including
42:30
Speaker 4: sending one of the photos of herself in a bikini.
42:34
Speaker 4: Mind you, this woman is married and there's a photo
42:38
Speaker 4: of her with her husband. Seems like a handsome guy
42:42
Speaker 4: from what I can tell here, Like if you've ever
42:44
Speaker 4: seen the show The Bachelor, every bachelor to me has
42:47
Speaker 4: looked the same, right. They're all white guys with like
42:50
Speaker 4: brown hair, pretty short hair kind of top, a little
42:53
Speaker 4: longer on top, with a slight beard, stubble type of thing.
42:57
Speaker 4: He's that guy and she from the profile here again,
43:03
Speaker 4: younger thirty something, pretty nice hair is blown out in
43:05
Speaker 4: this picture. She doesn't seem ugly at all, and she's married,
43:10
Speaker 4: so by all means she's a sick woman. She really
43:12
Speaker 4: is a sickoh. Her defense attorney, Rocco Sipparone. He says
43:17
Speaker 4: that his client isn't a flight risk, and she's married
43:19
Speaker 4: and owns a house and lives near all of her
43:21
Speaker 4: family in the Garden State. He also claimed that since
43:24
Speaker 4: she quit teaching in twenty twenty three, she's not a
43:26
Speaker 4: risk to any other students. He claimed that the reason
43:28
Speaker 4: she quit was because she helped the student cover up
43:31
Speaker 4: a hickey on their neck and hide it from their parents. Oh,
43:34
Speaker 4: so she's a lib on top of everything, which was
43:37
Speaker 4: what she meant when she stated she blurred the lines.
43:40
Speaker 4: Yeah right, whatever, This is deeper than that. I'm pretty
43:43
Speaker 4: sure they go on. Judge William Ziegler says he would
43:47
Speaker 4: issue a ruling this coming week and order another video
43:53
Speaker 4: hearing to hear from the teacher. He said to the
43:57
Speaker 4: fact that she had no criminal history and other midiganting
43:59
Speaker 4: fan comes with a recommendation to release her, but he
44:02
Speaker 4: wanted to review the law, saying, quote, I want to
44:05
Speaker 4: give this careful consideration because a decision one way or
44:08
Speaker 4: the other sets the tone for the entire case. The
44:12
Speaker 4: judge signed a restraining order barring the teacher from having
44:15
Speaker 4: any contact with the victim. Again, that's the second story,
44:20
Speaker 4: just in a string of things that I just happened
44:21
Speaker 4: to stumble upon. Then it gets better. There's one more. Yes,
44:26
Speaker 4: bear with me, because quite frankly, I think this is
44:29
Speaker 4: just interesting to say the least. Right now, let's see.
44:33
Speaker 4: Now we get to this third one, which I think
44:35
Speaker 4: might be the one I started with, but the actual
44:38
Speaker 4: article here, Yeah, because now I think they were charged.
44:40
Speaker 4: Excuse me, all right, here we go. So special ed
44:45
Speaker 4: teacher admits having sex with two students, once with both
44:48
Speaker 4: in the same room, saying, quote, I made a mistake again,
44:52
Speaker 4: wouldn't say she's ugly. It does look crazy, but not ugly.
44:55
Speaker 4: Looks twenty something brown hair. Let's see if I'm right.
44:57
Speaker 4: A special ed teacher admits to having sex with two students,
45:00
Speaker 4: once with both in the same room, according to police.
45:03
Speaker 4: High school special ed teacher allegedly admitted to doing this
45:06
Speaker 4: in Wisconsin. World studies teacher Nadia Horn twenty two. Yeah,
45:10
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good at this admitted to having sex with
45:12
Speaker 4: both pupils, including three times with one who told cops
45:16
Speaker 4: they did everything that you could do with a person.
45:19
Speaker 4: According to the complaints shared by Weau TV that first
45:24
Speaker 4: victim was in the room when she had sex with
45:26
Speaker 4: the other boy too, with the teacher groping him before
45:30
Speaker 4: he left. According to the disturbing court documents, she says,
45:35
Speaker 4: I made a mistake is what she allegedly told the
45:38
Speaker 4: cops in her interview, wildly claiming that the teacher pupil
45:41
Speaker 4: sex felt mutual. Horn's confession came after she was seen
45:46
Speaker 4: weeping in her mugshot as cops said they were investigating
45:49
Speaker 4: her for several victims. Horn bought the first victim and
45:53
Speaker 4: iPhone fourteen in January. When he said he was un
46:00
Speaker 4: able to snapchat her, she was like, snapchatman, He said, no, no,
46:03
Speaker 4: I can't. I'll buy your phone.
46:05
Speaker 7: Wow.
46:06
Speaker 4: Then send him very revealing snaps and asked him to
46:09
Speaker 4: meet outside of school. The teacher at North High School
46:13
Speaker 4: in Eau Claire admitted during her police interview that the
46:17
Speaker 4: snaps potentially included nudes. The teacher, who faces up to
46:21
Speaker 4: forty years if convicted, allegedly told students she couldn't wait
46:24
Speaker 4: to see him and claim seeing him made her body
46:27
Speaker 4: feel a certain way. She also encouraged him to skip
46:30
Speaker 4: class so he could come over to her apartment with
46:33
Speaker 4: the last request just hours before she was arrested. I
46:36
Speaker 4: shouldn't be asking you this, but will you come over?
46:39
Speaker 4: She messaged him. Horn brought both victims to her home
46:43
Speaker 4: to hang out before allegedly having sex with the second boy.
46:47
Speaker 4: She admitted that a third student was also at her
46:50
Speaker 4: apartment and admitted to giving them wine, but denied supplying
46:54
Speaker 4: them with any drugs. Horn also wildly claimed she didn't
46:57
Speaker 4: feel as if she was taking advantage of the boys.
46:58
Speaker 4: Horn had been hit with second degree sexual assault charges,
47:01
Speaker 4: two counts of child endangerment, and two counts of sexual
47:04
Speaker 4: assault of a child by someone who works with kids
47:08
Speaker 4: or volunteers. The teacher is now suspended without pay. Appeared
47:12
Speaker 4: at the Wisconsin court last Monday, and next court date
47:18
Speaker 4: will be on the twentieth of May. She posted a
47:20
Speaker 4: fifteen thousand dollars bond and was released from jail. So
47:25
Speaker 4: you tell me if that is not a disturbing pattern
47:30
Speaker 4: of events in things that at least this is something
47:35
Speaker 4: that I thought would never happen. I did not think
47:37
Speaker 4: that young, attractive female teachers took advantage of twelve to
47:44
Speaker 4: seventeen year old boys. Never in a million years did
47:47
Speaker 4: I think that this was something that happened, And if
47:49
Speaker 4: it did, I'd say that happened once. I just gave
47:52
Speaker 4: you three stories that just happened in the last six months.
47:54
Speaker 4: So I don't know the answer to this, but I'm
47:56
Speaker 4: curious to know your thoughts on it. I want to
47:58
Speaker 4: know what do you think? Why is this happening? Has
48:00
Speaker 4: this always been happening? Can you call me at eight
48:03
Speaker 4: seven seven VALDEESK one and say, yep, yep, happened to me.
48:06
Speaker 4: I was fighting them off. How do you I needed
48:08
Speaker 4: a stick to fight off all my teachers in grammar school.
48:11
Speaker 4: That was not the case for me, it was not
48:12
Speaker 4: the case for any of my friends. And I just
48:16
Speaker 4: I feel like we have entered a new dimension, a
48:19
Speaker 4: new realm, a new way of doing life, where things
48:23
Speaker 4: that once weren't now are And how did we get here? Right?
48:26
Speaker 4: How did we in fact get here? The closest I
48:29
Speaker 4: have of any stories like this was that I was
48:32
Speaker 4: once bored to tears in a class that I was
48:36
Speaker 4: very accustomed to sleeping in high school. It was my
48:39
Speaker 4: social studies class. I probably said too much, but I
48:43
Speaker 4: would fall asleep in this class all the time. And
48:47
Speaker 4: one year, like whatever. Let's say, my freshman year, the
48:53
Speaker 4: teacher would stare at me right in my face while
48:55
Speaker 4: I was sleeping. I guess he was used to it
48:57
Speaker 4: and he would just keep going. He was a veteran.
49:00
Speaker 4: But the following year, I had a brand new teacher, young,
49:04
Speaker 4: attractive and like fresh out of college, so maybe twenty two.
49:09
Speaker 4: And I remember her just asking me everything okay, and
49:14
Speaker 4: I was like yeah, and I didn't know what it meant.
49:16
Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, I was in the guidance counsel's
49:18
Speaker 4: office and they were asking me if I was using
49:20
Speaker 4: drugs and I said, why why would you ask me that?
49:23
Speaker 4: And they said, well, your teacher says you can. You're
49:24
Speaker 4: having troubles staying away in class. I said that's because
49:26
Speaker 4: the class is boring, not because I'm on drugs. But
49:30
Speaker 4: I was so offended by this that you know that
49:32
Speaker 4: she referred me over this. And then I told a
49:35
Speaker 4: friend of mine and he said, that teacher, the young one,
49:39
Speaker 4: and I said yeah, He said, the blonde one. I
49:41
Speaker 4: said yeah, and he said, dude, we were smoking weed
49:45
Speaker 4: with her the other day. And I couldn't help but laugh,
49:48
Speaker 4: and I was like, I was mad too. I was
49:50
Speaker 4: like I can't believe she referred me for doing drugs
49:52
Speaker 4: I wasn't doing and then she, in fact herself was
49:55
Speaker 4: getting high with students. I later so a teacher, and
50:01
Speaker 4: this teacher was also young and new and handsome guy,
50:07
Speaker 4: good looking dude, and he I remember him saying something
50:10
Speaker 4: I brought her up. I was like, oh, man, you
50:12
Speaker 4: heard about this new teacher or whatever. I said, you
50:14
Speaker 4: know her? And he said, oh, I know her really well. Yeah,
50:16
Speaker 4: we've been out a few times. I was like, oh,
50:19
Speaker 4: like that. He was like, yeah, I like that. He
50:20
Speaker 4: was very open about his exploits with teachers. And that's
50:25
Speaker 4: as crazy as I got in my high school. And
50:26
Speaker 4: by then I was already you know, approaching junior year.
50:30
Speaker 4: That was at the end of my sophomore year. But
50:34
Speaker 4: that was it, right. It was the teachers that were
50:36
Speaker 4: fraternizing amongst themselves and occasionally, you know, I guess, engaging
50:42
Speaker 4: in the smoking of the the Devil's lettuce with some
50:47
Speaker 4: of the students, which again, you know, at the time,
50:49
Speaker 4: I thought, wow, I didn't know they did that. But
50:51
Speaker 4: this stuff that I just told you out of control, right,
50:55
Speaker 4: I mean, here they have me peeing in a cup
50:58
Speaker 4: to prove that I'm not sleeping because she's but because I, uh,
51:02
Speaker 4: you know, I was whatever they were alleging, and I
51:06
Speaker 4: passed the test with flying colors. Needless to say, bottom line,
51:10
Speaker 4: it seems like times have changed and we're on a
51:12
Speaker 4: new Uh. I don't know, I don't know what to say.
51:16
Speaker 4: I'm really at a loss here. I feel like it's
51:18
Speaker 4: the devil's playground and we're just we're just spectators in it.
51:23
Speaker 4: If you think I'm wrong, give me a call. Eight
51:24
Speaker 4: seven seven Valdez. One more to come straight ahead. We're
51:26
Speaker 4: gonna wrap this thing up. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.
51:30
Speaker 12: This is America, this is America.
51:47
Speaker 1: He's making podcasting great again. This is America with Rich Valdaz.
52:04
Speaker 4: All right, I mean it goes. Welcome back, Rich valdezk
52:06
Speaker 4: keeping your company this Thursday, and I want to get
52:09
Speaker 4: into something a little different, a little bit of a
52:10
Speaker 4: political prognostication, if you will. They've been having a lot
52:14
Speaker 4: of conversations with people, and I'm saying, look, listen, if
52:17
Speaker 4: we don't win the midterms, Trump gets impeached. He's said that,
52:20
Speaker 4: and we have a thin majority. So mentally, I'm saying,
52:24
Speaker 4: doesn't look like we're winning. Now, that doesn't mean I
52:27
Speaker 4: really don't think we're winning. Right. I like to mess
52:29
Speaker 4: with people too, because people like to, you know, to
52:31
Speaker 4: Rich fald has said, so I like to mess with
52:33
Speaker 4: them a little bit. They come, what do you think
52:35
Speaker 4: about I think we're losing. What do you think about twenty?
52:37
Speaker 4: I think we're losing again. Right. The more I can
52:39
Speaker 4: tell people I think we're losing, the better I think
52:41
Speaker 4: people around me will be motivated to work really hard
52:45
Speaker 4: to make sure that conservatives don't lose. But needless to say,
52:51
Speaker 4: I am of two minds here obviously, right, I don't
52:53
Speaker 4: have a crystal ball. I don't know, but it seems
52:55
Speaker 4: to me Trump's very popular most places I go. And
52:58
Speaker 4: again I'm talking about my impromptu interviews, whether it's talking
53:05
Speaker 4: about gas prices that are something like three bucks, a leader, right,
53:10
Speaker 4: a leader in Europe, or being in Texas or you know,
53:16
Speaker 4: just those happen to be the places I've been recently,
53:19
Speaker 4: or you know, just talking to people across the country
53:21
Speaker 4: in different ways. I always find it very interesting, and
53:24
Speaker 4: most people do support Trump. Most there is i'd say
53:28
Speaker 4: twenty or thirty percent of people that I come across
53:31
Speaker 4: that don't like Trump for whatever reason, and mainly because
53:34
Speaker 4: the Democrats have been successful in painting him as Satan incarnate.
53:39
Speaker 4: And I know it's a Holy week and I don't
53:40
Speaker 4: want to get to spiritual here, but Satan incarnate, that's
53:45
Speaker 4: how they've painted President Trump. And if they can convince
53:49
Speaker 4: you that he is Satan, would skin on then Even
53:52
Speaker 4: if he comes to you and says, to your child
53:54
Speaker 4: is sick, I have the cure to her cancer, they
53:57
Speaker 4: would say, get out of here, Satan, not today, Satan. Right,
54:00
Speaker 4: That's literally what they've achieved with Donald Trump with a
54:03
Speaker 4: number of people. Now, some people break free from this TDS,
54:07
Speaker 4: this Trump derangement syndrome and give him an actual chance
54:12
Speaker 4: to figure out, you know, whether they like the guy
54:15
Speaker 4: or not. But others can't. And that's because it's in
54:18
Speaker 4: their nature, it's in their past life, you know, traumas
54:22
Speaker 4: that they need a bad guy and they need somebody
54:24
Speaker 4: to hate, and why not Trump seems to be it.
54:26
Speaker 4: He's a racist, you understand, he's a racist. But all
54:31
Speaker 4: that being said, I feel like most people support trumpeto
54:36
Speaker 4: and there are a number of places where Democrats continue
54:39
Speaker 4: to make missteps. Now I say Democrats because that's the
54:43
Speaker 4: largest term I can think of, right, But it's really
54:45
Speaker 4: Democrats in Washington that are leading the way here, and
54:50
Speaker 4: in particular the most progressive among them. Now, there is
54:54
Speaker 4: no question in my mind that there is a growth
54:57
Speaker 4: of people that accept communism for whatever reason, likely because
55:01
Speaker 4: they haven't thought it out. They're the same ones that
55:03
Speaker 4: will start with this. I don't support communism, but I
55:06
Speaker 4: do support Democrats socialists. I think Zora Mumbani has a
55:09
Speaker 4: lot of great things he's talking about. I think we
55:11
Speaker 4: do have a problem with a really aggressive NYPD, and
55:14
Speaker 4: maybe it is time to defund the police or bring
55:17
Speaker 4: about some sort of meaningful reform. I think that's a
55:19
Speaker 4: conversation we have to have. What about affordability. People can't
55:23
Speaker 4: even afford to live in New York anymore. You've got
55:25
Speaker 4: young people that are working that can't even split an
55:28
Speaker 4: apartment amongst three people. You've got a housing crisis like
55:31
Speaker 4: you've never seen. I mean, we can't continue to pretend
55:34
Speaker 4: this isn't happening. President Trump isn't doing anything about it now.
55:38
Speaker 4: Of course that's not me saying that. That's what the
55:40
Speaker 4: Democrats would say to argue with me, understood, So they
55:43
Speaker 4: get on that high horse, and they feel like, man,
55:46
Speaker 4: they've just convinced themselves. They have now whipped themselves into
55:50
Speaker 4: a little bit of a frenzy where they feel confident
55:52
Speaker 4: because they were just shadow boxing in a mirror that
55:54
Speaker 4: wasn't fighting back. And you know what happens. They start
55:56
Speaker 4: to put pressure on their friends. They go to the
55:58
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumers of the world and the rest of the
56:00
Speaker 4: Democrats and they try to push them further and further
56:03
Speaker 4: to the left. And President Obama's chief of staff who
56:06
Speaker 4: went on to run for mayor of Chicago and win.
56:09
Speaker 4: His name is Ram Emmanuel. Ram Emmanuel was very honest
56:13
Speaker 4: in a podcast recently saying that Democrats have lost the
56:18
Speaker 4: plot in this story. This, I think is important. It's
56:21
Speaker 4: important that we pay attention to what Ram Emmanuel's saying,
56:24
Speaker 4: because I believe he's saying this for the political purpose,
56:27
Speaker 4: the self serving political purpose of trying to make a
56:30
Speaker 4: lane for himself, saying, I am the anti AOC Democrat,
56:34
Speaker 4: I am the anti squad. I don't support that kind
56:37
Speaker 4: of crazy. I don't want your kids playing in, you know,
56:40
Speaker 4: in the opposite sexist sports. But we still hate Trump
56:43
Speaker 4: and he's trying to create this lane. But even they
56:46
Speaker 4: are realizing it's time for a realignment. Check this out.
56:49
Speaker 4: It's the plot.
56:50
Speaker 17: We as democrats nationally, from LATINX to defunding the police,
56:53
Speaker 17: to police organizations are all racist, to bringing a set
56:57
Speaker 17: of cultural wars to our schools, losing sight of those
57:00
Speaker 17: cultural wars full stop. You are worried about bathroom access
57:04
Speaker 17: and locker room access. Why don't you focus on classroom excellence.
57:08
Speaker 17: You have fifty percent of our kids not reading at
57:10
Speaker 17: grade level.
57:11
Speaker 4: Well they can just say we can do both.
57:12
Speaker 17: You've proven you can't because you've permitted a thirty year
57:15
Speaker 17: low and reading of mass scores, and nobody seems to
57:18
Speaker 17: be calling the whistle on this. We lost the plot.
57:21
Speaker 17: Why because the party got unanchored, every one of our
57:25
Speaker 17: most successful electoral presidents anchoring themselves in what I call
57:29
Speaker 17: middle class values and values that are universal, at least
57:31
Speaker 17: in this country, ascribed to. We went from acceptance to advocacy.
57:36
Speaker 17: Big difference. And I'll just take one on that I
57:39
Speaker 17: shouldn't so here it goes. I remember fighting for title nine,
57:43
Speaker 17: the reason we are champions and women's sports in the Olympics,
57:46
Speaker 17: in soccer hockey, Title nine. Why would you undercut the
57:50
Speaker 17: premise of Title nine with the ability of trans men
57:53
Speaker 17: playing in women's sports.
57:55
Speaker 4: To me, it's insane, baffling.
57:57
Speaker 17: You are undermining one of the great accomplishments we as
58:00
Speaker 17: a country, but also spearheaded by the Democratic Party.
58:03
Speaker 4: Title nind and we're undercutting it. We lost the plot
58:08
Speaker 4: that is rom Emmanuel again President Ohama, Obama's chief of staff,
58:14
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think he's right. Yeah, I also think
58:17
Speaker 4: he is desperately carving a lane for himself. I don't
58:22
Speaker 4: think he believes that this will be a win for
58:25
Speaker 4: him in the next go round. But I do believe
58:28
Speaker 4: he thinks that if we carve this lane now, it
58:31
Speaker 4: will exist for a number of years. And he may
58:35
Speaker 4: not be wrong, right, he may be right that you
58:37
Speaker 4: may get some Democrats that defect, right, the people that
58:41
Speaker 4: were Democrats for Bobby Kennedy, for example, people that, like
58:45
Speaker 4: he said, and for years we had you know, Obama
58:48
Speaker 4: and Clinton had that in common that when they ran,
58:51
Speaker 4: maybe not while they governed, but when they ran, these
58:54
Speaker 4: guys were both championing the Defensive Marriage Act. Obama of
58:59
Speaker 4: course went back on his position, took a new position,
59:05
Speaker 4: and embraced all sorts of things, and then during his
59:08
Speaker 4: administers I think it was during his administration the Supreme
59:11
Speaker 4: Court approved marriage between men and women to be the
59:15
Speaker 4: law of the land, and then he lit up the
59:17
Speaker 4: White House in the colors of the LGBTQ flag. I
59:22
Speaker 4: think that was a shift for him, but a safe
59:24
Speaker 4: one politically speaking, because he could say, look, I'm just
59:27
Speaker 4: following the Oh, let me be Claire, let me be Claire.
59:30
Speaker 4: I'm just following what the court ordered. And yeah, listen,
59:34
Speaker 4: he can play all the politics he wants, right, I
59:36
Speaker 4: get it. Bottom line here is rom Emmanuel isn't wrong.
59:42
Speaker 4: And I think this is what the Democrats are missing.
59:45
Speaker 4: So the question I'll leave you guys with is will
59:47
Speaker 4: the Democrats find a center? Will Gavin Newsom bring it back?
59:51
Speaker 4: Is that why he's been having conversations with Charlie Kirk,
59:56
Speaker 4: God Rest his Soul and with Sean Hannity and a
1:00:00
Speaker 4: hearing to be this I get along with conservatives kind
1:00:03
Speaker 4: of guy. I don't know, but we'll find out. But
1:00:06
Speaker 4: I'll say this. The only thing necessary for evil to
1:00:09
Speaker 4: triumph is for good people to do nothing. And if
1:00:13
Speaker 4: you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. Is sta
1:00:15
Speaker 4: LABROXI might take care, good night, and God bless you America.
1:00:19
Speaker 4: I'm rich Valdez.
1:00:21
Speaker 2: This is America.
