0:16
Speaker 1: He works at Chris Christie and falls each on a
0:18
Speaker 1: lot of public service stuff.
0:19
Speaker 3: Rich Valdez calumnist now with the Washington Times.
0:21
Speaker 4: This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with a
0:24
Speaker 4: Nation Nation with America.
0:27
Speaker 1: With your host, Rich Valdez.
0:30
Speaker 4: What's up, America.
0:31
Speaker 3: I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an s at Rich
0:34
Speaker 3: Valdez on all of the social media when asked Nochez,
0:38
Speaker 3: it is a pleasure to be with you guys.
0:40
Speaker 4: God bless each and every one of you.
0:42
Speaker 3: And I want to get into a couple of things
0:45
Speaker 3: that are going on here right It's Wednesday night edition
0:47
Speaker 3: of the program, December third, and what a day to
0:50
Speaker 3: be alive in America, the land of opportunity, even where
0:53
Speaker 3: the snowflakes are falling.
0:55
Speaker 4: And I'm not just talking about the ones in DC.
0:57
Speaker 3: I'm talking about you know, these lines that I'm seeing
1:00
Speaker 3: that there are people getting snow in some parts of
1:02
Speaker 3: the country. So I guess that's exciting for some for
1:05
Speaker 3: others maybe not so much. But either way, we got
1:09
Speaker 3: to keep that same upbeat energy because no matter what
1:12
Speaker 3: kind of storm we're facing, whether it's snow or the left,
1:15
Speaker 3: we got to dance right through it like a med anga,
1:18
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So first up, we got
1:20
Speaker 3: a bunch of Americans, millions in fact, that are waking
1:24
Speaker 3: up to inches of fresh snow after the big Powerhouse
1:28
Speaker 3: winter storm was sweeping through certain parts of the country.
1:33
Speaker 3: Mother nature giving us a little bit of a backlash.
1:36
Speaker 3: I guess we're a blessing depending on how you want
1:38
Speaker 3: to look at it. But you know, shoveling is like
1:40
Speaker 3: free cardio for some people, right. I've kind of switched
1:44
Speaker 3: my cardio from being on the treadmill to doing the Staremaster,
1:50
Speaker 3: and I gotta tell you, it's so much harder, so
1:51
Speaker 3: much harder, and it's so much harder when you don't
1:53
Speaker 3: use hands right, keep your hands at your sides or
1:55
Speaker 3: put them in the air or whatever. Just don't hold on, man,
1:58
Speaker 3: you don't hold on. It becomes like a core workout too.
2:01
Speaker 3: It's really really something. Anyway, I want to get into
2:03
Speaker 3: a bunch of things right because we're talking about we
2:05
Speaker 3: got this border stuff that continues the boldness of the
2:10
Speaker 3: drug traffickers. Right, that stuff continues. They were beating up
2:14
Speaker 3: Secretary Heg Sath and President Trump and Tom beat those saying, oh,
2:17
Speaker 3: these guys are masked murderers.
2:19
Speaker 4: They're terrible, they're this, and they're that.
2:21
Speaker 3: Well, turns out the guys climbing out of the boat
2:25
Speaker 3: trying to get back in the boat, trying to call
2:26
Speaker 3: for reinforcements, trying to salvage the drugs actually was released.
2:34
Speaker 3: There was no cover up, There was none of that.
2:35
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff was fake, phony fraud, right. The
2:40
Speaker 3: even the folks from ABC News and I'll get into
2:44
Speaker 3: that in a moment, but even they had to acknowledge it.
2:48
Speaker 3: But there's also some stuff coming out of California. Steve
2:52
Speaker 3: Hilton from the Fox News channel, you might remember him,
2:54
Speaker 3: he's running from governor and he's now establishing a tip
2:58
Speaker 3: line to expose for after that whole billion dollar mess
3:03
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. What a scandal, my mother would say, kikanao.
3:09
Speaker 3: But bravo to Steve Hilton. Transparency is what we need
3:13
Speaker 3: in California. It's what we need actually all across our government.
3:16
Speaker 3: And you know, like many Peopleabwela has always said, you
3:21
Speaker 3: see something, say something, see the iago, right, you got
3:24
Speaker 3: to do something about it anyway. Uh, we'll try to
3:26
Speaker 3: clean house here and make America more efficient again. And
3:30
Speaker 3: we're doing that one whistleblower at a time. And this
3:34
Speaker 3: is a time where you know, you've got so called
3:36
Speaker 3: whistleblower is coming out this edition six and others saying, oh,
3:40
Speaker 3: this is no good. What's going on with these drug boats,
3:42
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. And you've got also
3:46
Speaker 3: the people saying, oh, this this targeting of the Somalian
3:50
Speaker 3: community of refugees in Minnesota and in Michigan and elsewhere,
3:58
Speaker 3: it's racist. And listen, who doesn't love a good racist trope?
4:03
Speaker 3: Right when you're in the media, right, the yellow journalists
4:05
Speaker 3: out there, they love to run with something like that.
4:08
Speaker 3: The problem is this just isn't reality. It's not actually
4:12
Speaker 3: a thing. And this is where it gets complicated for them.
4:15
Speaker 4: Right.
4:15
Speaker 3: The saga continues between El Trompeto and ilhan Omar.
4:21
Speaker 4: And this time, now you've got the mayor there.
4:23
Speaker 3: You've got the police chief there, You've got so many
4:25
Speaker 3: people weighing in on all these different things that are
4:29
Speaker 3: going on. She says Trump's a racist. She says she's garbage.
4:32
Speaker 3: She could leave the country. And I got to tell you,
4:36
Speaker 3: I think that President Trump is taking a hardline approach
4:41
Speaker 3: here because it's necessary, right, It's an absolute necessary message
4:46
Speaker 3: that has to be brought to the table, not that
4:48
Speaker 3: she's garbage. And that's the fluff.
4:52
Speaker 4: Of it, right.
4:53
Speaker 3: What's really important here is there are things that are
4:56
Speaker 3: going on that are a culturally incompatible with the country.
5:00
Speaker 3: That's probably the least significant, and I'll say that to
5:02
Speaker 3: be the least because that leads into the next part,
5:05
Speaker 3: which means these are issues of national security. And I'll
5:10
Speaker 3: get to the third part, which I think is the
5:12
Speaker 3: most important part along with national security, straight up fraud.
5:17
Speaker 3: When you've got all this money, billions of dollars that
5:22
Speaker 3: we now have reason to believe was being funneled to
5:26
Speaker 3: Al Shabab, a terrorist group that runs piracy and other
5:31
Speaker 3: things in Somalia, you got to stop and say, hold
5:35
Speaker 3: on a second, what's going on? And you got to
5:36
Speaker 3: ask yourself, is this happening in my state? Right in
5:41
Speaker 3: New Jersey? I don't know if that's happening, but I
5:42
Speaker 3: do know in New York there's a bunch of unexplained
5:44
Speaker 3: funds going to different congressional districts, and I'm sure it's
5:47
Speaker 3: happening in New Jersey. I just happened to get tips
5:49
Speaker 3: every now and again from people who think I'm still
5:52
Speaker 3: working with Project Veritas, and they called me and they're like, hey,
5:55
Speaker 3: did you know the thirteenth Congressional district in New York?
5:59
Speaker 3: A lot of funny busines is going on. These guys
6:00
Speaker 3: are sending money, They're getting it right out Washington, sending
6:03
Speaker 3: it right to Haiti. I don't know how true that
6:06
Speaker 3: is yet, I'll look into it. I'm gonna try and
6:07
Speaker 3: bring in some of the big guns, the best researchers
6:09
Speaker 3: I can come up with, to talk to them about that.
6:12
Speaker 3: But bottom line here, there's a lot of funny business
6:16
Speaker 3: going on and people are upset, and rightfully so, because man,
6:23
Speaker 3: when you're talking about that type of fraud, that type
6:28
Speaker 3: of waste, that type of abuse, let me tell you,
6:31
Speaker 3: this is a problem for a lot of people. So listen,
6:35
Speaker 3: those are some of the headlines I want to get into.
6:37
Speaker 3: I also want to dig in to a couple of
6:40
Speaker 3: other things. This Pakistani who was arrested for planning to
6:45
Speaker 3: do a shooting.
6:46
Speaker 1: Listen to this, this police work one oh one these
6:49
Speaker 1: officers did a absolutely great job. Last Monday night, Newcastle
6:52
Speaker 1: County police officers on routine patrol saw a truck in
6:55
Speaker 1: Canby Park after it was closed. Instead of just shooing
6:59
Speaker 1: the person along, the offer made contact with twenty five
7:01
Speaker 1: year old lukemon Khan. He was acting nervous storing the stop.
7:05
Speaker 1: At some time, they asked mister Cohn to exit the vehicle,
7:07
Speaker 1: which she refused. As police arrested the University of Delaware student,
7:10
Speaker 1: they say they found a loaded handgun, loaded extended magazine's
7:13
Speaker 1: body armor, and a kit to convert the glock into
7:16
Speaker 1: a long gun. With Conn and custody, Newcastle County immediately
7:19
Speaker 1: got the Feds involved, who got a warrant and got
7:21
Speaker 1: into Cohn's home on Van Buren Street in Wilmington.
7:24
Speaker 4: But it's scared of a genie's out of me.
7:26
Speaker 1: Neighbors shocked to find agents slamming their way into the
7:29
Speaker 1: row house next door. All of a sudden, we see
7:31
Speaker 1: drones coming up and they started breaking glass. Neighbors say
7:34
Speaker 1: they barely spoke to Conn and were shocked to learn.
7:36
Speaker 1: Prosecutors say he had all sorts of weapons, handwritten notes
7:39
Speaker 1: about urban warfare, tactics and body armor kits. They also
7:42
Speaker 1: found hand drawn maps of the University of Delaware police
7:45
Speaker 1: department and notes about.
7:46
Speaker 3: That is police work. One on, let me tell you, loco,
7:49
Speaker 3: this is a crazy man. Now, of course I say
7:51
Speaker 3: he's crazy. Others say he's a terrorist.
7:53
Speaker 4: All true.
7:54
Speaker 3: You take your pick of what you want to call
7:55
Speaker 3: this guy. Bottom line, this guy no good, no bueno
7:59
Speaker 3: for America. Now are we supposed to be accepting of
8:02
Speaker 3: the term racist, xenophobe, all the rest of the things
8:05
Speaker 3: that left is going to call us because this guy
8:07
Speaker 3: wanted to shoot up a school and he got caught
8:09
Speaker 3: because some cops did their job. That's fantastic, by the way,
8:11
Speaker 3: kudos to law enforcement. Listen, I'm all about this, and
8:14
Speaker 3: I don't care where this guy comes from. I don't
8:16
Speaker 3: care that he's a radical, radicalized Islamic fundamentalist, whatever.
8:22
Speaker 4: I don't prefer that.
8:24
Speaker 3: I think anybody who's going to be a school shooter,
8:27
Speaker 3: a college campus shooter, a whatever shooter the cops can
8:31
Speaker 3: get him. Shouldn't we all be celebrating this. Isn't this
8:34
Speaker 3: something that we should celebrate. We get the left ones
8:36
Speaker 3: to make this into some sort of race about racism right.
8:42
Speaker 3: They want to see who can get to the moral
8:45
Speaker 3: outrage first. And I think this is part of why
8:50
Speaker 3: people are so turned off. You've got some people that
8:52
Speaker 3: want to say it's a badge of honor.
8:54
Speaker 4: You know what.
8:54
Speaker 3: Call me a racist, call me a zenfhol, call me
8:56
Speaker 3: whatever you want, because I love this country and I'm
8:58
Speaker 3: not going to sit here and let terrrist through. You've
9:00
Speaker 3: got others that are saying, look, these people are new Americans.
9:03
Speaker 3: They're coming here to make a life better and blah
9:05
Speaker 3: blah blah, we can't let one bad apple.
9:07
Speaker 4: Ruin the bunch.
9:08
Speaker 3: Well, hold on this report that I just played for you,
9:10
Speaker 3: by the way, from NBC ten Philadelphia about the University
9:13
Speaker 3: of Delaware police. This was about that guy, This one guy, Lukwan,
9:18
Speaker 3: whatever his name was. This had nothing to do with
9:20
Speaker 3: trying to vilify everybody else. It just happens to be
9:23
Speaker 3: that it fits a trend where we're finding the people
9:25
Speaker 3: that have come to this country from other places, in
9:28
Speaker 3: particular Muslim majority countries.
9:30
Speaker 4: As of late, right we're seeing more of that. Now.
9:33
Speaker 3: Some are going to say that's the media manufacturing this hysteria.
9:36
Speaker 3: You know, in reality, if we stop and look back
9:38
Speaker 3: at everybody who's about to shoot up a college campus.
9:41
Speaker 3: You know you're going to find all sorts of Catholics
9:42
Speaker 3: and Christians and everybody else. And what's happening here is
9:46
Speaker 3: just you know, this is cherry picking the news media. Okay,
9:50
Speaker 3: if you say so, I haven't seen that. I played
9:54
Speaker 3: you that clip yesterday when I was on NEWSMS over
9:56
Speaker 3: the weekend or on Monday, and they the narrative is
10:01
Speaker 3: that Jasmin Crockett was pushing was that it's immigrants commit
10:06
Speaker 3: way less crimes than everybody else. While that may maybe
10:10
Speaker 3: you can find some data to back this up based
10:14
Speaker 3: on the fact that there are less immigrants in the
10:15
Speaker 3: country than there are citizens. Okay, you can try and
10:19
Speaker 3: make the argument that way, but I would say if
10:22
Speaker 3: you do it per capita based, you know, adjusted for size,
10:26
Speaker 3: I would say, no, you're wrong. I think and listen,
10:28
Speaker 3: this is something I've known growing up when I was
10:30
Speaker 3: a kid growing up. Right, We left Brooklyn when I
10:33
Speaker 3: was I don't know, eleven, twelve years old, so I
10:35
Speaker 3: did all my teenage years on this side of the
10:38
Speaker 3: Hudson River in Hudson County, New Jersey, and I could
10:40
Speaker 3: tell you this soundly alarmed. I'll tell you this. One
10:42
Speaker 3: of the things that I saw growing up. There's a
10:45
Speaker 3: town called Fairview, New Jersey, had bordered North Bergen for
10:48
Speaker 3: whatever reason, it had way more immigrants rich. How do
10:52
Speaker 3: you know it had more immigrants? Well, I'll tell you,
10:54
Speaker 3: I'm not blind. I could see. But aren't you profiling?
10:57
Speaker 3: Aren't these just people? How do you know you didn't
10:59
Speaker 3: check their paper? This is that head in the sand
11:01
Speaker 3: approach to life that isn't going to get anybody anywhere.
11:04
Speaker 3: These were people that clearly came from a different country.
11:07
Speaker 3: They sounded different, they spoke different, they dressed different, they
11:10
Speaker 3: acted different. What I can tell you, on a Saturday night,
11:13
Speaker 3: a Friday night, even maybe a Sunday, these guys would
11:17
Speaker 3: be hammered, hammered, I mean balls to the wall, drunk,
11:23
Speaker 3: walking around Bergenline Avenue, walking around all over the place.
11:28
Speaker 4: They would go bar hopping.
11:29
Speaker 3: Again, nothing wrong with that, But the only other place
11:31
Speaker 3: I'd seen that was in Hoboken, which was more a
11:34
Speaker 3: little bit of a college town. The Stevens people would
11:36
Speaker 3: come out and there was a lot of bars, and
11:38
Speaker 3: you saw a lot of that pub crawl type of thing.
11:40
Speaker 3: All the girls that we grew up with knew stay
11:42
Speaker 3: away from these guys because they got drunk and they
11:46
Speaker 3: would try to do what they did back home, whether
11:48
Speaker 3: it was Honduras, whether it was going Guatemala, where it
11:51
Speaker 3: was wherever. And again, these are not attacks on all
11:53
Speaker 3: the people in those countries. These happened to be individuals
11:57
Speaker 3: that were coming from those countries. El Salvador amongst them,
12:00
Speaker 3: and came here and acted up. And I can tell
12:04
Speaker 3: you that if I had to guess, probably one hundred
12:07
Speaker 3: percent or ninety percent of the drunken disorderly cases or
12:11
Speaker 3: sexual assaults that were called into the local police department
12:16
Speaker 3: were those guys, because it was abundantly clear they were
12:19
Speaker 3: roaming the streets in groups three, four or five drunk, stumbling,
12:23
Speaker 3: falling down, getting up. Sometimes you'd see them blooded up
12:25
Speaker 3: because not because they got beat up because they fell down,
12:27
Speaker 3: they busted their face and they keep going. So again
12:30
Speaker 3: I bring that up to say, what, this is something
12:32
Speaker 3: I've seen since I was a young guy. Really I'm
12:35
Speaker 3: still a young guy, but I mean, you know, teenager.
12:38
Speaker 3: The United States has a responsibility to its own citizens
12:42
Speaker 3: to make sure that whomever comes here is respectful, compatible, consistent,
12:49
Speaker 3: and of benefit to the United States, and that's why
12:53
Speaker 3: I saw this clip of Secretary Rubio and I wanted
12:55
Speaker 3: to make sure you heard it.
12:56
Speaker 4: Listen to this.
12:56
Speaker 2: But all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the
13:00
Speaker 2: the West writ large, but the United States in particular,
13:03
Speaker 2: as the greatest evil on the earth. And every chance
13:05
Speaker 2: to have the notion that somehow Radical Islam would be
13:08
Speaker 2: comfortable with simply controlling some province in Iraq or Syria
13:12
Speaker 2: is just not born out by history. Radical Islam has
13:15
Speaker 2: shown that their desire is not simply to occupy one
13:18
Speaker 2: part of the world and be happy with their own
13:20
Speaker 2: little caliphate. They want to expand. It is a revolutionary
13:24
Speaker 2: in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more
13:26
Speaker 2: territories and more people. And Radical Islam has designs openly
13:30
Speaker 2: on the West, on the United States, on Europe. We've
13:33
Speaker 2: seen that progress there as well, and they're prepared to
13:36
Speaker 2: conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran nation
13:40
Speaker 2: state actions, assassinations, murderers, you name it, whatever it takes
13:43
Speaker 2: for them to gain their influence and ultimately their domination
13:47
Speaker 2: of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and imminent
13:50
Speaker 2: threat to the world and to the broader West, but
13:52
Speaker 2: especially to the United States, who they identify as the
13:55
Speaker 2: chief source of evil on the planet. The reason why
13:58
Speaker 2: they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the leadership of
14:02
Speaker 2: the UAE of Bahrain is because they've allowed the United
14:04
Speaker 2: States to partner with them. That's why they hate them.
14:06
Speaker 2: They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel, but
14:09
Speaker 2: they also hate America, and they hate anywhere in the
14:11
Speaker 2: world that we have influenced. They seek to attack it,
14:13
Speaker 2: including here in the homeland. If you look at the
14:16
Speaker 2: domestic terrorists, at the attacks that happened here domestically, the
14:19
Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints.
14:24
Speaker 2: And that includes the shooting in the Poults nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
14:27
Speaker 2: That includes the Saudi Pilot and Pensacola, my home state,
14:30
Speaker 2: two attacks.
14:30
Speaker 3: Ultimately that again Secretary Rubio speaking with Hannity on the
14:36
Speaker 3: Fox News channel, and again the quote that stuck out
14:40
Speaker 3: to me here, Radical Islam has shown that their desire
14:43
Speaker 3: is not simply to occupy one part of the world
14:46
Speaker 3: and be happy with their own little caliphate. They want
14:49
Speaker 3: to expand. It's revolutionary in its nature. It seeks to
14:53
Speaker 3: expand and control more territories and more people. That's a
14:58
Speaker 3: clear and imminent threat to the world and to the
15:01
Speaker 3: broader West, but especially the United States, who they identify
15:06
Speaker 3: as the chief source of evil on the planet. Secretary
15:11
Speaker 3: of State Marco Rubio doing an excellent job and explaining
15:13
Speaker 3: that really just quite eloquently, nothing racist or xenophobic about that.
15:18
Speaker 3: Those are the facts he's bringing, the receipts, and that's
15:20
Speaker 3: the truth. And he's not the only one. There are
15:24
Speaker 3: imams that say this. There are people in Bahrain and Qatar,
15:28
Speaker 3: in Abu Dhabi that I've heard say the same thing,
15:32
Speaker 3: that radical Islam is ruining Islam. So when you tell
15:36
Speaker 3: me now that you've got people that are coming from
15:39
Speaker 3: countries where the easiest way the way they figured out.
15:44
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying not everybody does scamming. There are
15:46
Speaker 3: a lot of people that do scamming. But when you
15:49
Speaker 3: have people that do this type of scamming, and the
15:53
Speaker 3: scam is I'm going to marry a step a step
15:57
Speaker 3: sibling or a sibling of mine in order to get
15:59
Speaker 3: papers to stay in this country, to become a resident,
16:02
Speaker 3: to become a citizen, it begs the question, are there
16:05
Speaker 3: other things going on now? I don't know if it's
16:08
Speaker 3: a racist trope or not. I don't know if there's
16:10
Speaker 3: data to support this. I don't know if some think
16:13
Speaker 3: tank has done the investigation into in particular this community
16:17
Speaker 3: that's been called into question being inbred.
16:20
Speaker 4: I know that's a common thing. I hear.
16:22
Speaker 3: I have read that in similar situations there is inbreeding
16:27
Speaker 3: going on, and because there is, it causes all the
16:30
Speaker 3: things that come along with inbreeding, right, which are the
16:33
Speaker 3: following things like birth defects, reduced immunity, people are just
16:38
Speaker 3: less physically fit. They happen because mating between closely related
16:43
Speaker 3: individuals increases the chance for offspring that will inherit two identical,
16:47
Speaker 3: often harmful, recessive genes from the same common ancestor, which
16:52
Speaker 3: reduces their vital genetic diversity. And you know, we've all
16:55
Speaker 3: known these things. They cause problems. So I believe the
16:58
Speaker 3: term for marriage that's closer than cousins is konsanganus. Konsanganius.
17:08
Speaker 3: Marriage rates are significantly higher in certain cultures and within
17:14
Speaker 3: certain religious factions.
17:17
Speaker 4: From what I've read, it can.
17:19
Speaker 3: Be permitted, but is not necessarily encouraged, and thank god, right,
17:23
Speaker 3: so cousin marriage is generally permitted in Islam, but it's
17:28
Speaker 3: not explicitly encouraged some Islamic scholars, such as Imam Shafi,
17:36
Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm saying that wrong. They've discouraged it due
17:39
Speaker 3: to potential risk of genetic defects, and rightfully so they should,
17:43
Speaker 3: especially if it's practiced repeatedly across generations.
17:48
Speaker 4: But there are some cultural factors.
17:50
Speaker 3: The prevalence of knsanganist marriage is often more a reflection
17:55
Speaker 3: of regional and cultural norms, social factors, educational levels than
18:01
Speaker 3: more of a religious mandate.
18:02
Speaker 4: And I get that right.
18:03
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, when in Rome do as
18:05
Speaker 3: the Romans do, and some of these rates, you know,
18:09
Speaker 3: from twenty to fifty percent are found in the Middle
18:12
Speaker 3: East and in North Africa.
18:15
Speaker 4: But obviously there's.
18:16
Speaker 3: Wide variations between different countries and different communities, and this
18:19
Speaker 3: does pose a health risk. Medical professionals and other studies
18:23
Speaker 3: point to the increased risk of autosomal recessive genetic disorders
18:28
Speaker 3: like thalacemia, sickle cell anemia, and other things when closely
18:34
Speaker 3: related individuals reproduce. So this is not something that is
18:40
Speaker 3: particular to som Alians. I would say it's probably not
18:45
Speaker 3: practiced very broadly in that culture, at least based on
18:49
Speaker 3: some of the reading I've done, it is something that
18:51
Speaker 3: does exist largely in the Middle East and in North Africa.
18:55
Speaker 3: And you could find this stuff online, you know, just
18:57
Speaker 3: do a quick search some of it and chat things.
18:59
Speaker 3: Other are in different publications, the National Institutes of Health,
19:03
Speaker 3: et cetera. The point is, oftentimes stereotypes are funny in
19:09
Speaker 3: comedy and things like that, right, you know, because there's
19:12
Speaker 3: truth to it.
19:13
Speaker 4: If it wasn't so true, it wouldn't be so funny.
19:15
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that this is funny, right, I'm
19:17
Speaker 3: talking more about when they, you know, somebody you know,
19:20
Speaker 3: makes a joke about Puerto Ricans liking to dance or
19:23
Speaker 3: being loud or something like that, that's usually true, right,
19:27
Speaker 3: so those punchlines hit a little better.
19:29
Speaker 4: Anyway.
19:30
Speaker 3: My point here is to shed some light on what's
19:33
Speaker 3: going on here and to say that there's a heated
19:36
Speaker 3: debate over these things, and whether it's this Pakistani student
19:40
Speaker 3: that's arrested for you know, having a firearm and more
19:43
Speaker 3: than one hundred rounds of ammunition in his car. The
19:46
Speaker 3: Armor Ballistic played the notebook outlining the possible attack on
19:50
Speaker 3: the use of the University of Delaware. Excuse me, this
19:52
Speaker 3: guy con excuse me. I called him lackwill. That was
19:55
Speaker 3: the other guy who shot the National Guard guys I confused,
19:57
Speaker 3: my my radicalized murderers or attempted murders.
20:01
Speaker 4: This is lukman Khan. Excuse me.
20:04
Speaker 3: My point is, and I'm not saying that these guys
20:06
Speaker 3: are inbred. I'm saying that when you have these closely
20:09
Speaker 3: knit societies. Again, the stereotype was true in certain places
20:11
Speaker 3: in the United States as well, right, saying that they
20:14
Speaker 3: know it was so rural that people marrying their cousins
20:16
Speaker 3: and you know, all sorts of incests and stuff like that.
20:19
Speaker 3: These things are incompatible with the rest of our culture
20:23
Speaker 3: by and large, in the Western hemisphere, Western society, that's
20:27
Speaker 3: not a thing here, you know. But for some of
20:29
Speaker 3: these small enclaves, if you will, you have individuals in leadership,
20:34
Speaker 3: people that are at the helm of making policy and
20:36
Speaker 3: making decisions, like Secretary of Rubio. When they say that
20:41
Speaker 3: we have people in particular militant factions within certain religions
20:47
Speaker 3: that have been radicalized. And when I say certain religions,
20:49
Speaker 3: I'm specifically referencing radical Islam at this point, that is
20:54
Speaker 3: inconsistent with America. It's inconsistent with American life. This is
20:59
Speaker 3: nothing against Muslims that are law abiding, god fearing people.
21:03
Speaker 3: I've got nothing against them. Of course, I do belong
21:06
Speaker 3: to an absolutist religion where I believe that my God's
21:09
Speaker 3: the only God. These are my own personal beliefs, but
21:11
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean I disrespect anybody for their view from
21:15
Speaker 3: their opinion, interesting points, very interesting points, to say the least. Anyway,
21:21
Speaker 3: more to come straight ahead, We're going to get into
21:23
Speaker 3: the rest of the headlines, a lot more of what's
21:24
Speaker 3: happening in entertainment, news, pop culture, and I don't know politics.
21:29
Speaker 4: You know has Totomeo. That's what I like to talk about.
21:31
Speaker 3: But I'd like to keep it a variety here, right,
21:33
Speaker 3: We'd like to keep it kind of open to everybody anyway.
21:36
Speaker 3: I'm at Rich Valdesk at richvaldest on all of the
21:38
Speaker 3: social media. Thanks for your notes, for your comments, for
21:41
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. We do have some additions to
21:44
Speaker 3: the program that I'll be able to announce this week.
21:46
Speaker 3: This week coming up is the week where we expand.
21:49
Speaker 3: I'll be bringing some guests back into the fold as
21:53
Speaker 3: well as your calls, and we're going to be doing
21:56
Speaker 3: that soon. I'll give you the updated phone number for that.
22:00
Speaker 3: Well we got a good one too, so anyway, keep
22:02
Speaker 3: it locked right here on Rich Valdez.
22:04
Speaker 4: This is America. The forty fifth President.
22:14
Speaker 3: Donald Trump thinks it's an honor to speak with rich Valdez.
22:18
Speaker 5: Oh, very good.
22:23
Speaker 4: The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
22:28
Speaker 4: of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez, all.
22:33
Speaker 3: Right, and he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez Valdez with
22:36
Speaker 3: an S. Happy to be with you at Rich Valdez
22:38
Speaker 3: on all of the social media, and I want you
22:41
Speaker 3: to hear from doctor Restef. He is the one of
22:45
Speaker 3: the head honchos over at the CDC at the meeting
22:48
Speaker 3: that occurred back in September, and again they're going to
22:51
Speaker 3: be meeting again on Friday for some final determinations.
22:54
Speaker 4: Check this out.
22:55
Speaker 5: There were people that felt that we should recommend pregnant
23:00
Speaker 5: into vaccinate for the reasons that people mentioned here, but
23:02
Speaker 5: most of the people felt that there is strong reason
23:04
Speaker 5: actually not to recommend them. I think that, after all,
23:07
Speaker 5: we decided not to bring it to a vote today,
23:11
Speaker 5: but we do hope that the FDA and the CDC
23:14
Speaker 5: will look much more carefully into this because most of
23:19
Speaker 5: us are extremely concerned about the safety and the lack
23:23
Speaker 5: of robust evidence bought on safety and efficacy for you know,
23:27
Speaker 5: not only pregnant women but their babies. This is something
23:30
Speaker 5: that I think really deviates from any standards that we
23:33
Speaker 5: knew in the past.
23:34
Speaker 3: The word that is doctor retze f Levi again with
23:37
Speaker 3: the CDC. He's a member of the ACIP and listen.
23:41
Speaker 3: This debate is about the concern that professionals in the
23:46
Speaker 3: healthcare industry have with respect to forcing vaccinines Take two,
23:52
Speaker 3: forcing vaccines on children and the reason being some are alleging,
23:57
Speaker 3: including the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy.
24:01
Speaker 3: He says this is because drug companies want to make money.
24:05
Speaker 3: But in reality, if your child is brand new, a
24:09
Speaker 3: day old, why would we vaccinate them against hepatitis when
24:13
Speaker 3: the chances of getting that are from sexually transmitted diseases
24:17
Speaker 3: from maybe what are the other causes here, intravenous drug use,
24:23
Speaker 3: getting a tattoo, that type of thing where there's some
24:25
Speaker 3: blood swapping. If that's not the case, then why vaccinate
24:30
Speaker 3: against that that's the argument, and again doctor Levi and
24:34
Speaker 3: others are supporting that. And check out the latest on this.
24:39
Speaker 3: This is in the New York Post and I thought
24:40
Speaker 3: this was pretty interesting. Sorry, not the post, actually stat
24:45
Speaker 3: News and listen to this headline. Experts say that top
24:47
Speaker 3: FDA officials claim that COVID vaccines caused kids deaths.
24:52
Speaker 4: And requires more evidence.
24:53
Speaker 3: Vina Pisad ties ten deaths to the COVID shots, calls
24:57
Speaker 3: for a stricter vaccine regulation and elaked memo. The Food
25:01
Speaker 3: and Drug Administration's top vaccine regulator, asserted it in an
25:04
Speaker 3: email to staff sent on Friday, that the COVID nineteen
25:08
Speaker 3: vaccine caused at least ten deaths in children and called
25:12
Speaker 3: for changes to the way the agency is regulating these
25:15
Speaker 3: vaccines but excerpt take two. But experts told STAT News
25:20
Speaker 3: they were skeptical of some of the memo's extraordinary claims
25:23
Speaker 3: because it was not presented with detailed data. Been A Prasad,
25:27
Speaker 3: director of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research,
25:32
Speaker 3: known as SIEBER, set in an email that the regulatory
25:36
Speaker 3: requirements for these new vaccines would be heightened as a
25:40
Speaker 3: result of the deaths, saying quote this is a profound revelation,
25:44
Speaker 3: Prosad wrote in the memo, which was obtained by STAT
25:47
Speaker 3: and has since been made available online by other news organizations.
25:50
Speaker 3: For the first time, the United States FDA will acknowledge
25:54
Speaker 3: that COVID nineteen vaccines have killed American children. In many cases,
25:59
Speaker 3: such man and dates were harmful. Prasad wrote, it's difficult
26:03
Speaker 3: to read cases where kids aged seven to sixteen may
26:08
Speaker 3: be dead as the result of COVID vaccines.
26:12
Speaker 4: Wow.
26:13
Speaker 3: Prasad and other representatives of the Department of Health and
26:17
Speaker 3: Human Services, which oversees the FDA, did not respond to
26:20
Speaker 3: any detailed requests for comment. And you know it goes
26:25
Speaker 3: on to say that it's unclear what the FDA's next
26:28
Speaker 3: steps are going to be. They're going to be meeting
26:29
Speaker 3: on Friday to have more discussion about this. Amongst the
26:33
Speaker 3: discussion is going to be some conversation about hepatitus B
26:38
Speaker 3: and you know, why are we giving those and other
26:40
Speaker 3: vaccines to.
26:43
Speaker 4: Newborn babies. But a lot to unpack here. They want
26:48
Speaker 4: to know this FDA revelation.
26:52
Speaker 3: Did it include cases where people had multiple shots. It's
26:57
Speaker 3: just something where you know, if somebody try to get
26:59
Speaker 3: a shot in a boost at the same time. These
27:01
Speaker 3: are the things they're trying to figure out in the
27:03
Speaker 3: cases where they're saying that children were killed. Now again
27:06
Speaker 3: another quote from the memo. The talk about purported danger
27:10
Speaker 3: of combined vaccines or multiple vaccines given at the same
27:13
Speaker 3: visit is concerning if applied to ban or unrecommend combo
27:17
Speaker 3: vaccines or require spacing out in a way that greatly
27:20
Speaker 3: reduces uptake and done without evidence or harm, said Jeffrey Morris,
27:24
Speaker 3: a professor of public health at University of Pennsylvania. So
27:28
Speaker 3: a lot of critics are pushing back, and it begs
27:29
Speaker 3: the question, are these critics pushing back because they are,
27:33
Speaker 3: you know, for public health, for the public good, for
27:36
Speaker 3: the safety of America, or because they are funded by
27:41
Speaker 3: big pharma and big farmer. Says no, don't say the
27:44
Speaker 3: vaccines are killing anybody. Now, I'm going to tell you
27:48
Speaker 3: a little inside scoop because you know, I've had some
27:50
Speaker 3: good travels in my life, and one of those travels,
27:54
Speaker 3: you know, made me some friends, and one of my
27:57
Speaker 3: friends ended up doing a pretty long stint in a
27:59
Speaker 3: career in the United States Department of Health and Human Services,
28:04
Speaker 3: where he served as an executive for something like thirty
28:07
Speaker 3: seven years, and he was always inside and out, you know,
28:13
Speaker 3: of work. He always was the same. He told the
28:16
Speaker 3: company line. He believed what he was doing. And I'll
28:19
Speaker 3: tell you that in the last year or so, because
28:22
Speaker 3: he lost a brother, his tune changed.
28:26
Speaker 4: And he said, let me tell you.
28:28
Speaker 3: I had a lunch with him not too long ago,
28:31
Speaker 3: and he said, you know, we were told these things
28:35
Speaker 3: weren't killing anybody, he said, but I got to tell you.
28:39
Speaker 3: After my brother, who was otherwise healthy, a veteran of
28:42
Speaker 3: the United States military, took the vaccine, he developed myocarditis
28:47
Speaker 3: other heart related issues. These proteins built up, messed him up,
28:56
Speaker 3: and he's dead now, and God rest his soul. And
29:00
Speaker 3: this is a scary proposition for people, especially somebody who
29:03
Speaker 3: was there pushing these things, making sure that Americans were
29:08
Speaker 3: healthy and safe and had access to the vaccines. And again,
29:10
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that all vaccines are harmful to all people.
29:14
Speaker 3: I'm saying that this vaccine that was somewhat rushed, that
29:17
Speaker 3: was somewhat experimental in the delivery of it. Right, We've
29:23
Speaker 3: had doctor Robert malone On who's inventor of the mRNA
29:28
Speaker 3: vaccine technology and he's the first one to say that
29:31
Speaker 3: that wasn't for vaccines, it was for gene therapy, and
29:35
Speaker 3: that's not the delivery mechanism. That's not what mRNA was
29:38
Speaker 3: created for, but it's what it was used for. And
29:41
Speaker 3: of course there's lots of off label uses for things
29:43
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean anything. But he specifically went on to
29:47
Speaker 3: say that this is bad and we should not be
29:49
Speaker 3: doing it. So he'll be speaking at the December fifth,
29:53
Speaker 3: Friday's meeting of the FDA the CDC. Excuse me, and
29:57
Speaker 3: I'll bring an update on some clips on that as
29:59
Speaker 3: well well. But very interesting stuff that's going on, and
30:05
Speaker 3: there's a lot of news coming out of the FDA,
30:06
Speaker 3: a lot of news about healthcare in general. One of
30:10
Speaker 3: the things that I saw that I thought was really interesting,
30:13
Speaker 3: and I talked about this recently, about this major breakthrough
30:16
Speaker 3: of blood test that can find dementia risk before symptoms
30:20
Speaker 3: even start. And I thought that's pretty cool because that's
30:22
Speaker 3: one of those things that people really suffer from. What
30:24
Speaker 3: I don't know is all right, we identify the risk,
30:27
Speaker 3: now what just because we know it's happening doesn't mean
30:30
Speaker 3: you could stop it from happening. But this is an
30:35
Speaker 3: interesting one I think people might appreciate. There's a group
30:42
Speaker 3: of people that are now hospitalized with pretty severe illness
30:46
Speaker 3: after they took these, you know, off the street type
30:50
Speaker 3: of injections of botox that they actually bought off of
30:53
Speaker 3: social media. One of them is a New Yorker and
30:56
Speaker 3: this is the piece that I was looking at the
30:57
Speaker 3: New York Post. At least one Big Apple resid was
31:00
Speaker 3: amongst ten people hospitalized with severe illness in the US
31:04
Speaker 3: after injecting botox that they brought from unlicensed sources through
31:09
Speaker 3: social media this year. Isn't that crazy. The victims ended
31:13
Speaker 3: up in the hospital between May and August, and they
31:18
Speaker 3: they were served dozens of doses of botox batchelinum toxin
31:24
Speaker 3: and they had to be given the anti toxin after
31:28
Speaker 3: they injected this dangerous knockoff into their body. It's pretty
31:32
Speaker 3: scary stuff. Three of the victims required intubation and a ventilator.
31:37
Speaker 3: According to a health advisory from Medical People that came
31:41
Speaker 3: out on Monday from the City of New York and
31:43
Speaker 3: the Department of Health. No deaths were reported in connection
31:46
Speaker 3: with these illegal botox injections, but some of them were
31:51
Speaker 3: pedaled on apps like TikTok and WhatsApp, isn't that something
31:57
Speaker 3: crazy stuff? Many of the products sold vials of white
32:01
Speaker 3: powder without labels, instructions, or even warnings. Some of the
32:06
Speaker 3: symptomatic individuals reported seeing advertisements for vendors selling batchulinum toxin
32:12
Speaker 3: products on social media, including TikTok, and none of the
32:16
Speaker 3: people injecting these products reportedly met the state requirements for
32:21
Speaker 3: purchasing or administering botox products under state law in New York,
32:26
Speaker 3: at least, botox is only available from trained, licensed professionals
32:30
Speaker 3: who administer the product, but the rule hasn't stopped a
32:33
Speaker 3: lot of at home kits where you do it yourself
32:36
Speaker 3: with unregulated ingredients being peddled over the past. It's been
32:40
Speaker 3: going on for about a decade, but apparently it's growing
32:43
Speaker 3: and now you've got it an increased risk of infection
32:47
Speaker 3: as well as life threatening botchulism that can be the
32:50
Speaker 3: result of this. Now in doing your own injections, some
32:56
Speaker 3: people just order the Korean botox. And this is again
33:01
Speaker 3: a quote that I'm reading from a TikTok user who
33:03
Speaker 3: wrote in the comments section of one of these botox
33:07
Speaker 3: tutorials and said, tired of paying ridiculous amount of money
33:12
Speaker 3: when the neurotoxin itself is under one hundred dollars for
33:16
Speaker 3: one hundred units per bottle.
33:19
Speaker 4: Well.
33:19
Speaker 3: Botulism is a bacteria produced illness caused by the toxin
33:24
Speaker 3: that's attacking the body's nerves. These symptoms might include a headache,
33:29
Speaker 3: muscle weakness, facial paralysis, and difficulties speaking. Some symptoms suffered
33:35
Speaker 3: by victims, at least the ones from New York included
33:38
Speaker 3: shortness of breath imagine that right. Let's see what else here,
33:46
Speaker 3: extreme weakness in the arms and legs, amongst other things.
33:50
Speaker 3: The city's Health department issued an advisory back in April
33:53
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four after these botox or botulism like
33:58
Speaker 3: illnesses were reported in New Yorkers receiving botox shots from
34:03
Speaker 3: unlicensed providers with unverified products. But the latest excuse me,
34:08
Speaker 3: the latest surge is marking a turning point in which
34:13
Speaker 3: the victims are injecting themselves wild stuff. I mean, again,
34:17
Speaker 3: not that wild if you're you know, taking it at
34:19
Speaker 3: face value. But I'm just thinking about Listen, the last
34:22
Speaker 3: thing I'm gonna do for something that's going in my
34:24
Speaker 3: face is order it online and do it myself. Come on,
34:28
Speaker 3: you've got to be kidding me. You need it to
34:31
Speaker 3: be done right, right, You got to get the right muscle,
34:33
Speaker 3: the right whatever. I mean, they're supposed to know what
34:36
Speaker 3: they're doing. I know for one thing for sure, I
34:39
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm doing right. I was a barber,
34:41
Speaker 3: not a botox person. Doesn't mean I can't become one,
34:44
Speaker 3: but trust me, I have no idea what I'm doing there. So,
34:47
Speaker 3: and I would say that's the truth for most of
34:49
Speaker 3: us that are listening to this right now. So anyway,
34:53
Speaker 3: that's the latest on that. And they actually sentenced the doctor,
35:00
Speaker 3: the doctor that sold the fentinel or was it fantal
35:07
Speaker 3: I think it was ketamine, excuse me, that sold the
35:12
Speaker 3: ketamine to the actor from friends Chandler bing Matthew Perry
35:18
Speaker 3: in the week's leading up to his fatal overdose. Doctor
35:22
Speaker 3: Placentia was the first of five defendants to be sentenced
35:26
Speaker 3: in connection with Perry's death. Back in October of twenty
35:29
Speaker 3: twenty three. He pled guilty to four counts of distribution
35:33
Speaker 3: of ketamine, and he was sentenced to thirty months two
35:36
Speaker 3: and a half years in federal prison plus two years
35:40
Speaker 3: of supervised release, and a five thousand dollars. Fine, Wow,
35:48
Speaker 3: guy ends up dead. This guy pays five grand, he
35:50
Speaker 3: does thirty months. Listen, I guess if that worked for you,
35:55
Speaker 3: probably it wouldn't work for me. Wouldn't work for me.
35:58
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a severe enough right Listen. I
36:02
Speaker 3: saw a thing of a doctor getting five years in
36:05
Speaker 3: federal jail for just defrauding health insurance. Guy was working
36:11
Speaker 3: with Amtrak employees and they would bring him the insurance
36:16
Speaker 3: card and he would just say, oh, I did this,
36:19
Speaker 3: I did this, I did this, you know, building for
36:21
Speaker 3: services he never rendered into the millions and millions of dollars.
36:25
Speaker 3: Was getting rich on it, and he was splitting it,
36:26
Speaker 3: you know, giving them a kickback. This guy got five
36:30
Speaker 3: years in jail for robbing money that was likely insured.
36:35
Speaker 3: This is somebody dead, fatal overdose. Why profit right? They
36:44
Speaker 3: wanted to make money on this guy. That's it wild anyway.
36:52
Speaker 3: The other defendants that are awaiting sentencing, listen to this.
36:58
Speaker 3: Jazz Vene Senga, the ketamine queen, facing up to sixty
37:03
Speaker 3: five years. Her sentencing is scheduled for the twenty fifth
37:08
Speaker 3: of February twenty twenty six. Eric Fleming's facing up to
37:11
Speaker 3: twenty five years, scheduled for January seventh, twenty twenty sixth
37:17
Speaker 3: Kenneth Imoasa Perry's assistant, faces up to fifteen years. His
37:24
Speaker 3: sentencing is scheduled for January fourteenth of twenty twenty six
37:28
Speaker 3: and doctor Mark Chavis faces up to ten years. He's
37:32
Speaker 3: scheduled to be sentenced on December seventeenth. So I guess
37:36
Speaker 3: this first person was the one that rolled on everybody
37:38
Speaker 3: else and got the deal. Lucky them, look lucky them, man.
37:46
Speaker 3: And yeah, anyway, what else do we got here? It
37:53
Speaker 3: was one more let me see if there was one
37:55
Speaker 3: more health story that I wanted to share. I flagged
37:57
Speaker 3: the couple and I said, man, these are really interesting stories.
38:00
Speaker 3: Really a lot of interesting stuff going on in the
38:02
Speaker 3: world of health.
38:03
Speaker 4: Ah. Here it is.
38:06
Speaker 3: Doctor Marty Mackery. He's the Commissioner of the FDA. He says,
38:11
Speaker 3: there is a new oh zepic type of drug coming out,
38:19
Speaker 3: and this is going to be what they call the
38:21
Speaker 3: new era of weight loss drugs, and it's going to
38:25
Speaker 3: be a blockbuster. Drugs like zep bound and Wagovi have
38:30
Speaker 3: already taken the US by storm with the number of
38:32
Speaker 3: Americans using them to slim down again. This is the
38:35
Speaker 3: piece in the post, and Big Farmer is not done
38:38
Speaker 3: cashing in on the weight loss boom yet. Drug I
38:40
Speaker 3: was gonna say, drug dealers and drug makers are ready
38:42
Speaker 3: to create a new wave of next level GLP one
38:46
Speaker 3: treatments with a lot of promise. And you know some
38:50
Speaker 3: of the promise of these drugs it's not just weight loss,
38:52
Speaker 3: because it helps control part of the brain that deals
38:55
Speaker 3: with impulse. Some are saying that this could stop overreading,
38:58
Speaker 3: It could stop people that have other rug and addiction issues.
39:01
Speaker 3: I think that's worth looking at, right. If you can
39:04
Speaker 3: use this GLP one stuff to fix your gut, fix
39:07
Speaker 3: your brain, and make sure that people are living a
39:09
Speaker 3: healthier life and not getting high or not overreading or
39:12
Speaker 3: doing a lot of things that they did impulsively before,
39:15
Speaker 3: that's interesting, right, This might be a huge breakthrough. Anyway,
39:19
Speaker 3: these sky high price tags have kept a lot of
39:21
Speaker 3: people away from getting this stuff. This new generation of
39:24
Speaker 3: medication is not just focusing on weight loss, according to
39:28
Speaker 3: David Lao, who's an endochronologist and a professor at the
39:31
Speaker 3: University of Calgary, but he told The Washington Post this week,
39:34
Speaker 3: he says we're talking about changes beyond what you see
39:36
Speaker 3: on the scale. But make no mistake, these pharmaceutical companies
39:41
Speaker 3: are aiming to help people shed even more pounds with
39:43
Speaker 3: these new iterations of these glp ones. And of course
39:47
Speaker 3: the way that works. The golp one is a peptide
39:51
Speaker 3: that mimics one or two hormones that are naturally produced
39:55
Speaker 3: in your gut that tell your body you're full, and
39:58
Speaker 3: it slows down your diget questionin it lowers your blood sugar,
40:01
Speaker 3: and it helps you stay full for a longer period
40:04
Speaker 3: of time, which is good for you. Eli Lilly is
40:07
Speaker 3: the drug maker that makes several of these based on
40:10
Speaker 3: what they call try zepetide to zepatite, excuse me, And
40:13
Speaker 3: they want to take it even further with a new
40:15
Speaker 3: medication that targets three hormones, earning the nickname triple G.
40:21
Speaker 3: Now it's in the mid stage of clinical trials. Obese
40:24
Speaker 3: adults are receiving these weekly injections right now. It's called
40:29
Speaker 3: I was going to call it retarded tried, but that's
40:31
Speaker 3: not what it says. It says re tart truetide. Yeah,
40:36
Speaker 3: retart to try. I think I got it right. And
40:39
Speaker 3: people are losing about twenty two percent of their current
40:42
Speaker 3: body weight in about eleven months. That's compared to fourteen
40:46
Speaker 3: percent of their body weight over fifteen months with semaglutide,
40:50
Speaker 3: which is the active ingredient in ozepic, and we go
40:54
Speaker 3: in phase three trials, which are starting in January of
40:57
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, if they are approved by the FBI,
41:00
Speaker 3: the FDA. Excuse me, Happy hump day, everybody. This will
41:03
Speaker 3: be approved at that point, should it happened. In the meantime,
41:07
Speaker 3: Lily is saying they've got other contenders, including lurinotide, a
41:13
Speaker 3: once weekly injection that targets amelin, a hormone that's released
41:17
Speaker 3: in the pancreas during meals. Here's a quote from doctor
41:21
Speaker 3: Lewis Arone. He's the director of Comprehensive Weight Control at
41:25
Speaker 3: Cornell will and he says we've been studying ammelin for
41:29
Speaker 3: weight loss for over twenty years. In certain ways, it
41:32
Speaker 3: may be a better compound, adding that it appears to
41:36
Speaker 3: cause less lean muscle loss and fewer stomach related side effects.
41:42
Speaker 3: Good stuff, right, I mean again, it sounds promising if
41:44
Speaker 3: it's all true. Now, in a phase two clinical trial,
41:47
Speaker 3: lorinotide patients would lose about nine percent sliding scale nine
41:53
Speaker 3: to twenty percent of their body weight, and they didn't
41:56
Speaker 3: hit any plateaus, suggesting they might keep dropping pounds if
42:00
Speaker 3: they stay on this drug longer. The weight loss that
42:03
Speaker 3: they've seen in the study does have a very significant
42:07
Speaker 3: clinical impact, and Leana K. Billings, she's the lead author
42:11
Speaker 3: of the clinical triald, she was really happy about that, saying,
42:15
Speaker 3: with this degree of weight loss in only forty eight weeks,
42:17
Speaker 3: we see people having improvement or resolution in other conditions
42:20
Speaker 3: like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteo arthritis, sleep apnea, and more weight
42:26
Speaker 3: related conditions.
42:27
Speaker 4: And let me tell you that's a win.
42:28
Speaker 3: You know, America is the fattest country in the world
42:30
Speaker 3: as far as I could see, and I think that's
42:33
Speaker 3: a good thing, right.
42:34
Speaker 4: That we'd be a little less fat.
42:36
Speaker 3: Novo Nordisk is developing their own amylin targeting drug that
42:41
Speaker 3: also includes semiglutide, giving it a little added punch to twofer.
42:46
Speaker 3: The clinical trials for that are delivered to delivering around
42:49
Speaker 3: twenty percent weight loss, roughly five percent more than semiglutide
42:55
Speaker 3: just by itself. The drug is called Cagrissima, and it
42:59
Speaker 3: was generally safe you know, a little bit of nausea,
43:02
Speaker 3: vomiting diarrhea. I sound like one of those drug commercials, right,
43:06
Speaker 3: You know, if you have nausea, vomiting diarrhea, constipation or
43:08
Speaker 3: other things might cause blah blah blah blah blah blah
43:11
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. Anyway, but these are all pretty simple things,
43:14
Speaker 3: the gastro intestinal things that seem to be common with
43:17
Speaker 3: most of these medicines. Anyway, I'll keep you posted if
43:19
Speaker 3: this stuff gets approved by the FDA and they go
43:21
Speaker 3: into it, and then of course there's a pill coming
43:24
Speaker 3: out which is not going to be as effective, but
43:27
Speaker 3: you can get about ten and a half percent of
43:30
Speaker 3: your body weight lost in about sixteen months. Lots going
43:34
Speaker 3: on GLP ones, all these new something tides. I'm wondering
43:38
Speaker 3: if this is going to be one of those things
43:41
Speaker 3: in a couple of years that we go. Man, these
43:43
Speaker 3: magic things are looks like they're killing everybody right the
43:46
Speaker 3: way we're looking at the COVID vaccine.
43:47
Speaker 4: I hope not.
43:48
Speaker 3: I mean looks like, you know, there's some research, not all,
43:50
Speaker 3: but some research here around twenty years of work at
43:53
Speaker 3: least with ammelin and some of the other stuff. So
43:55
Speaker 3: curious to see how this stuff pans out. But anyway,
43:58
Speaker 3: that's the health update for today. Yeah, straight ahead, we're
44:00
Speaker 3: gonna get into a few more topics. Don't go anywhere,
44:03
Speaker 3: I'm Rich Valdess.
44:05
Speaker 4: This is America.
