- 0:26Speaker 3: What's up, America. I am Rich Valdez Valdez with an
- 0:29Speaker 3: s at Rich Valdez on all of the social media.
- 0:32Speaker 3: You're a liberty loving Latino. I may go right here
- 0:34Speaker 3: seventeen blocks away from Madison Square Garden, New York City,
- 0:37Speaker 3: from our Times Square studio. If you want to join
- 0:39Speaker 3: me on our late night national town hall conversation, give
- 0:42Speaker 3: me a call. Eight seven seven Valdes one, eight seven
- 0:45Speaker 3: seven Valdest and the number one. And I want to
- 0:48Speaker 3: get into a bunch of things because by now you've
- 0:50Speaker 3: heard there's been a third assassination attempt on El Tromprizo
- 0:54Speaker 3: Tonaldus Magnus, the forty fifth and forty seventh President of
- 0:58Speaker 3: these United States, Donald J. And this happened over the
- 1:01Speaker 3: weekend while many of us were doing what we do
- 1:04Speaker 3: on the weekends, and Trompito was trying to pull up
- 1:07Speaker 3: to the Washington Hilton to be the first president to
- 1:11Speaker 3: attend the White House Correspondence dinner. And guess what. Some
- 1:17Speaker 3: lunatic barrels through the first barrier of security where the
- 1:22Speaker 3: magnetometers are, those metal detection machines with a shotgun, a handgun,
- 1:27Speaker 3: a couple of knives on him, and he takes a
- 1:30Speaker 3: shot at one of the Secret Service people. This guy
- 1:32Speaker 3: absolutely out of his mind. And it's just wild to
- 1:38Speaker 3: think that people get this desperate. But I get it.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I'm just saying I understand why he's killing him, and
- 1:45Speaker 3: I understand that as well. I'm not saying I agree,
- 1:47Speaker 3: but I understand when you're fed a line of rhetoric
- 1:49Speaker 3: all the time that this is bad, this is bad,
- 1:51Speaker 3: this is bad. Which is why I constantly try to
- 1:54Speaker 3: put my focus on things that I think are worthy
- 1:56Speaker 3: of attention. Right, I try not to demonize people. Now,
- 2:00Speaker 3: when I do, it's with the understanding that someone might
- 2:05Speaker 3: do that. Right, I'm gonna be very frank when I
- 2:08Speaker 3: say this person, people who kill people should be killed.
- 2:10Speaker 3: I mean that. I do mean that. I think that
- 2:12Speaker 3: people who kill people should be killed. I think that's
- 2:14Speaker 3: a fair you know, a fair thing, because they're killing people.
- 2:18Speaker 3: So when I say that Democrats never met a terrorist
- 2:21Speaker 3: or criminal or crazy left wing law that they didn't love,
- 2:25Speaker 3: I mean that I don't want them to die. I'm
- 2:27Speaker 3: not calling for their death. I'm just saying they are
- 2:29Speaker 3: the ones exacerbating many of our societal problems. Now, you
- 2:33Speaker 3: don't hear me saying things like they say about Trump, right,
- 2:37Speaker 3: because in effect, what they've done is they've turned Trump
- 2:39Speaker 3: into Satan, Satan incarnate. And this is why people say, oh,
- 2:44Speaker 3: Trump could cure cancer, and they wouldn't be satisfied, of course,
- 2:47Speaker 3: not if somebody came to you and said, hey, listen,
- 2:49Speaker 3: I've got the cure for cancer, and it comes from
- 2:50Speaker 3: Satan himself. Do you want it? I think a lot
- 2:53Speaker 3: of people go, no, man, I'll take my cancer. I'm good,
- 2:55Speaker 3: I'll take the l piece nobody wants to deal with. Say,
- 3:00Speaker 3: if he's doling out bags of cash, I don't think
- 3:03Speaker 3: people are going to get in the line. I mean
- 3:04Speaker 3: some people might, but you know, the Bible's taught us
- 3:07Speaker 3: what is it what is it profit a man to
- 3:09Speaker 3: gain the world? And lose his soul. So with that thinking,
- 3:13Speaker 3: when people absolutely demonize Trump and to the truest extent
- 3:20Speaker 3: of those words, it only makes sense that's some altruistic
- 3:24Speaker 3: thirty one year old teacher that's becoming very emotional because
- 3:28Speaker 3: he's going through his TikTok timeline or his whatever social
- 3:31Speaker 3: media he uses and seeing that Trump did this, and
- 3:34Speaker 3: the armed thugs are in the streets shooting white women
- 3:37Speaker 3: in the face American citizens saying they're deporting bad guys.
- 3:40Speaker 3: But these people, none of them are even bad guys.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They're just people that have ice detainers and blah blah blah.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Anybody with a good heart is going to be questioning
- 3:49Speaker 3: these things because they're going to say, oh, my goodness,
- 3:52Speaker 3: how could it be, How could such a bad evil man?
- 3:55Speaker 3: How could no one be doing anything about this? And
- 3:58Speaker 3: therein lies the problem, which is why Trump called it
- 4:01Speaker 3: out very early on fake news, fake news, the fake
- 4:04Speaker 3: news media. Right, he did, and he did it rightfully.
- 4:06Speaker 3: So and it's the fake news media that in many
- 4:09Speaker 3: ways are to blame. Now, to the credit of many
- 4:11Speaker 3: and starting with President Trump, we've gotten rid of a
- 4:14Speaker 3: lot of fake news actors, right, dun Leemong Dunley mong
- 4:18Speaker 3: is no longer in the picture. Brian Stelter's been somewhat marginalized,
- 4:22Speaker 3: right he was gone, Now he's back. Joy read. These
- 4:25Speaker 3: people were some of the biggest peddlers of hate, and
- 4:28Speaker 3: I think it's a good thing that they are, you know,
- 4:30Speaker 3: at least not purporting themselves to be the news, as
- 4:34Speaker 3: long as they have their own podcast, have their own
- 4:37Speaker 3: TV show, what's opinion show, write a book, do whatever
- 4:40Speaker 3: you want, share your hate somewhere else. But don't fool
- 4:43Speaker 3: people into thinking that that's the fact, right, that your
- 4:45Speaker 3: opinion is what's going on, that Trump is an actual tyrant.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Why because these are the problems that happen, and that's it.
- 4:51Speaker 3: People like to think that, you know, Trump thinks he's
- 4:53Speaker 3: above the law. Trump doesn't think he's above the law.
- 4:55Speaker 3: If anything, Trump's the most indicted president we've ever seen.
- 4:58Speaker 3: And that's a fact. Anyway, I just wanted to lay
- 5:01Speaker 3: that out there. But this is the scoop on what
- 5:04Speaker 3: went down. Check this out.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Jeff Carroll, Interim Chief of Police for the Metropolitan Police Department.
- 5:09Speaker 2: This afternoon this evening, members of the United States Secret
- 5:12Speaker 2: Service and the Metropolitan Police Department, We're here at the
- 5:15Speaker 2: Washington Hotel for a site detail for the Correspondence Center.
- 5:20Speaker 2: As the Mayor mentioned, at approximately eight thirty six tonight,
- 5:23Speaker 2: an individual charged a US Secret Service checkpoint here in
- 5:27Speaker 2: the lobby area of the hotel. He was armed with
- 5:30Speaker 2: a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. As he ran
- 5:34Speaker 2: through that checkpoint, members of law enfortment from the United
- 5:37Speaker 2: States Secret Service intercepted that individual. This is a very
- 5:41Speaker 2: preliminary investigation. At this point. We do know that law
- 5:44Speaker 2: enforcement exchanged gunfire with the individual. We do know that
- 5:48Speaker 2: a US Secret Uniform Division officer was struck in his vest.
- 5:53Speaker 2: He was transported to a local hospital for treatment. He
- 5:56Speaker 2: seems to be in good spirits at this time. The
- 5:58Speaker 2: suspect in this case, he was not struck by gunfire. However,
- 6:02Speaker 2: he was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated. Again,
- 6:07Speaker 2: we're very early in the investigation. We have members of
- 6:09Speaker 2: the United States Secret Service, the Metropolitan Police Department, and
- 6:13Speaker 2: the FBI here to continue to investigate this matter. But
- 6:16Speaker 2: at this point it does appear he is a loan actor,
- 6:19Speaker 2: a loan gunman that does not appear to be any
- 6:21Speaker 2: sort of danger to the public at this time. However,
- 6:24Speaker 2: we are continuing to investigate this matter.
- 6:27Speaker 3: All right. That's the chief police DC Metro Police, And
- 6:32Speaker 3: I got to say, listen, I am glad that the
- 6:34Speaker 3: security that they had in place worked right. He did
- 6:38Speaker 3: not get to the president. But I am going to say,
- 6:43Speaker 3: I didn't know that you could shoot at federal cops
- 6:45Speaker 3: and not end up dead. I find that amazing. I
- 6:49Speaker 3: think if somebody were to do that at my local
- 6:51Speaker 3: police department, they'd end up looking like Swiss cheese. The
- 6:55Speaker 3: fact that this guy was able to do all of that,
- 6:57Speaker 3: all those shots that you heard ring out of four
- 6:59Speaker 3: or five shots whatever it was, actually shoot a cop
- 7:02Speaker 3: and they shot back and he didn't get hit is
- 7:05Speaker 3: just amazing to me. It really is. It's almost as
- 7:08Speaker 3: amazing as the fact that we went to the moon
- 7:11Speaker 3: and had all these really cool pictures of the moon
- 7:13Speaker 3: back in nineteen sixty nine, nineteen seventy one or seventy two,
- 7:16Speaker 3: and then we went again in twenty twenty six, and
- 7:19Speaker 3: we have no pictures from the twenty twenty six because
- 7:22Speaker 3: apparently it was too difficult to take a selfie. You know,
- 7:26Speaker 3: just think of all the times that people tell you
- 7:29Speaker 3: there is as much computing power in your cell phone
- 7:32Speaker 3: now or more than was on the spaceships that went
- 7:36Speaker 3: to the Moon. I'm floored by that.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Now.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Listen, I am somewhat skeptical about some of this stuff.
- 7:41Speaker 3: I'm not saying it happened didn't happen. My skepticism is
- 7:44Speaker 3: really rooted in if what they're telling me is true
- 7:48Speaker 3: about this moon thing. And I'm sorry I'm having ADHD here,
- 7:50Speaker 3: I have to kind of bounce back and forth on
- 7:52Speaker 3: these topics. But if what they're telling me is true,
- 7:55Speaker 3: the fact that we couldn't take the pictures, we couldn't
- 7:59Speaker 3: get out, They didn't have a moon rover, it didn't
- 8:01Speaker 3: fit on this particular space, why did we send that
- 8:04Speaker 3: particular spaceship? Just again, it doesn't add up, right, It
- 8:08Speaker 3: doesn't add up to me at all. But all that aside,
- 8:12Speaker 3: the fact that this guy is alive and well and
- 8:14Speaker 3: didn't get shot is amazing to me. Right, It really
- 8:18Speaker 3: is amazing to me. I'm floored by it, honestly. But anyway,
- 8:23Speaker 3: all that being said, El Trumpito, about forty minutes, half hour,
- 8:27Speaker 3: maybe an hour after the actual shooting transpired, he took
- 8:33Speaker 3: to the White House to have a press conference and
- 8:37Speaker 3: to set the record straight to describe exactly what happened
- 8:41Speaker 3: and how it went down. Listen to this.
- 8:46Speaker 6: Thank you, President Trump.
- 8:48Speaker 2: There's a report in the New York Post that this
- 8:50Speaker 2: assailant assembled his weapon somewhere on site at the hotel.
- 8:56Speaker 3: What do you think about that? And I asked, respectfully,
- 9:01Speaker 3: why do you think this keeps happening to you?
- 9:05Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've studied assassinations, and I must tell you,
- 9:12Speaker 5: the most impactful people, the people that do the most.
- 9:16Speaker 5: You take a look at the people Abraham Lincoln. I mean,
- 9:19Speaker 5: you go through the people that have gone through this
- 9:23Speaker 5: where they got them. But the people that do the most,
- 9:27Speaker 5: the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones
- 9:30Speaker 5: that they go after. They don't go after the ones
- 9:33Speaker 5: that don't do much because they like it that way.
- 9:36Speaker 5: And when you look at the people that have either
- 9:40Speaker 5: whether it was an attempt or a successful attempt, they're
- 9:44Speaker 5: very impactful people. Just take a look at the names.
- 9:47Speaker 5: They're the big names. And I hate to say I'm
- 9:51Speaker 5: honored by that, but I've done a lot. We've done
- 9:54Speaker 5: a lot. We've taken this country and we were laughing
- 9:58Speaker 5: stock for years and now with the hottest country anywhere
- 10:01Speaker 5: in the world. We've changed his country and there are
- 10:04Speaker 5: a lot of people that are not happy about that.
- 10:07Speaker 5: So I think that's the answer. Peter.
- 10:09Speaker 3: That's President Trump again doing a White House briefing immediately
- 10:13Speaker 3: following the shooting that occurred at the White House correspondence dinner.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Now there's a couple other things I want to play
- 10:19Speaker 3: for you here because moments after the shooting. Again, this
- 10:23Speaker 3: is a room filled with reporters right many in the
- 10:26Speaker 3: fake news and others. It's all the media that covers
- 10:29Speaker 3: the White House. And Wolf Blitzer, you know og from CNN.
- 10:36Speaker 3: He was there and he was right next to the
- 10:39Speaker 3: shooter and he gave this account, which I thought was
- 10:42Speaker 3: really an interesting take. Listen to this.
- 10:45Speaker 7: I start hearing gunshots in the hall right near me,
- 10:49Speaker 7: and the next thing I knew, a police officer threw
- 10:52Speaker 7: me to the ground and was on top of me.
- 10:54Speaker 7: And I was listening and watching what was going on,
- 10:58Speaker 7: and apparently they got the gunman who had a major
- 11:02Speaker 7: weapon there. But it was so worrisome. The noise was
- 11:05Speaker 7: so loud in a small area, and all of a sudden,
- 11:08Speaker 7: I'm seeing gunshots and then they grabbed me. The police
- 11:12Speaker 7: officers and they take me back into the men's room
- 11:17Speaker 7: where I was safe, and there about fifteen other men
- 11:20Speaker 7: who are stuck in there and they won't run about,
- 11:23Speaker 7: and that's what happened. And then after a while they
- 11:26Speaker 7: let me out and I'm out. Now I'm not back
- 11:28Speaker 7: in the ballroom, but everything he's apparently closing down. Very
- 11:34Speaker 7: scary incident. All of a sudden, the guy with a weapon,
- 11:37Speaker 7: who was a very very serious weapon, he starts shooting.
- 11:41Speaker 7: I happened to have been a few feet away from
- 11:43Speaker 7: him as he was shooting him. Of course, the first
- 11:45Speaker 7: thing he went through my mind is he's trying to
- 11:47Speaker 7: shoot me. And I don't think he was trying to
- 11:49Speaker 7: shoot me, but I was very close to him as
- 11:52Speaker 7: the gunshots were fired. And it was very very scary.
- 11:55Speaker 7: But I'm okay now.
- 11:57Speaker 3: Both Blitzer and amazing, right, just amazing to hear some
- 12:02Speaker 3: of these accounts. There was another woman that said she
- 12:04Speaker 3: saw the shooter fall down right in front of her.
- 12:07Speaker 3: And again this was again a room filled with reporters,
- 12:11Speaker 3: so they're used to catching the details and getting this
- 12:15Speaker 3: stuff out there. Listen to this one.
- 12:18Speaker 8: Bad reception, lots of cell phone pull I couldn't get
- 12:21Speaker 8: any text messages out, and I just wanted to check
- 12:23Speaker 8: on Alexander and he was babysitting, so I want to
- 12:26Speaker 8: make sure he was doing okay. And so I just
- 12:30Speaker 8: stepped out of the ballroom and walked up.
- 12:33Speaker 3: A flight of stairs.
- 12:34Speaker 8: I was still inside the building, and I got through
- 12:37Speaker 8: to him and he answered, and then I heard three
- 12:39Speaker 8: really loud bangs and the gentleman fell right in front
- 12:43Speaker 8: of me, face down.
- 12:45Speaker 3: He had a rifle.
- 12:46Speaker 8: The rifle fell in front of him untill off to
- 12:48Speaker 8: the side. He was wearing magazines like with rifle bullets
- 12:51Speaker 8: that were kind of like similar in fashion. The woman
- 12:54Speaker 8: wearing a cross body bag. And then I just I
- 12:58Speaker 8: just got the hell out of there. I didn't stop
- 13:00Speaker 8: see Thursday and blood. I just I ran back to dolmstairs.
- 13:05Speaker 3: And that clip is from Ben Dennis and Aaron Thiel
- 13:10Speaker 3: interview that they had about her eyewitness account of the
- 13:13Speaker 3: guy falling down in front of her. And I want
- 13:14Speaker 3: to talk about this guy right. His name is Cole Allan,
- 13:17Speaker 3: middle named Thomas, thirty one years old. He's a teacher,
- 13:20Speaker 3: another product of the Teachers Union, I suppose, and good
- 13:24Speaker 3: old Cole Allan was very angry with President Trump. He
- 13:28Speaker 3: kept calling him a pedophile and a racist, which is
- 13:32Speaker 3: what you hear the angry left usually when they're ranting
- 13:34Speaker 3: in their car or their kitchen. And what's interesting about
- 13:39Speaker 3: all of this is that he wrote a manifesto, like
- 13:44Speaker 3: all these shooter guys do, right, and it was fascinating
- 13:49Speaker 3: how detailed it was. He claims to be a Christian,
- 13:52Speaker 3: and he's like, sorry, I did it, but I had to.
- 13:55Speaker 3: If I find it, I will read some of it
- 13:58Speaker 3: to you, maybe not all of it because it's a
- 13:59Speaker 3: little long. But President Trump was asked about this. He
- 14:03Speaker 3: did media on Sunday just yesterday, and in the media
- 14:06Speaker 3: that he's doing, he does an interview with Fox. He
- 14:09Speaker 3: does an interview with CBS on sixty minutes, and the
- 14:13Speaker 3: sixty minutes clip it goes sideways, right. He doesn't seem
- 14:19Speaker 3: to blink when they try to malign him. Listen to this.
- 14:27Speaker 3: This is Trump interviewing with Nora O'Donnell on CBS sixty minutes.
- 14:32Speaker 9: The so called manifesto is a stunning thing to read.
- 14:35Speaker 9: Mister president. He appears to reference a motive in it.
- 14:40Speaker 9: He writes this quote administration officials, they are targets, and
- 14:44Speaker 9: he also wrote this, I'm no longer willing to permit
- 14:47Speaker 9: a pedophile, rapist, and trader to coat my hands with
- 14:51Speaker 9: his crimes. What's your reaction, Well.
- 14:53Speaker 5: I was waiting for you to read that because I
- 14:55Speaker 5: knew you would, because.
- 14:56Speaker 10: Your horrible people. Horrible people. He did write that, I'm
- 15:02Speaker 10: not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody. Excuse me, I'm
- 15:09Speaker 10: not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person.
- 15:13Speaker 10: I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do
- 15:18Speaker 10: with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on.
- 15:21Speaker 5: The other side of the plate are the ones that
- 15:25Speaker 5: were involved with let's say Epstein or other things. But
- 15:29Speaker 5: I said to myself, you know, I'll do this interview
- 15:32Speaker 5: and they'll probably read the manifesto. You know it's a
- 15:35Speaker 5: sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading
- 15:39Speaker 5: that because I'm not any of those things. Excuse me.
- 15:45Speaker 5: You shouldn't be reading that in sixty minutes. You're a disgrace.
- 15:49Speaker 5: But go ahead, let's finish the interview.
- 15:50Speaker 9: The other thing that he wrote in your.
- 15:52Speaker 3: Disgraceful Yeah, it's an old school Trump would have got
- 15:58Speaker 3: up and walked out, but he stayed there. I don't
- 16:00Speaker 3: know his thoughts, and this is what he means. And
- 16:02Speaker 3: I agree when you talk about the fake news media.
- 16:05Speaker 3: This is Nora O'Donnell. She's been on TV as long
- 16:08Speaker 3: as I've been around, and I don't mean around as
- 16:11Speaker 3: a professional or as an adult, like since I was
- 16:13Speaker 3: a little kid. She's been on TV. So she says,
- 16:15Speaker 3: do you think he was talking to you? Who do
- 16:17Speaker 3: you think he was talking to?
- 16:18Speaker 10: Who?
- 16:18Speaker 3: Do they try to go kill?
- 16:19Speaker 4: You?
- 16:19Speaker 3: Don't go to a place where the president of the
- 16:21Speaker 3: United States is with guns and say no, I came
- 16:25Speaker 3: to kill furnal, I came to kill the other guy. No,
- 16:27Speaker 3: of course not. He's talking about Trump, right. It's this
- 16:30Speaker 3: is the Epstein rhetoric that's all over the place. He's
- 16:33Speaker 3: a pedophile running our country two years ago or four
- 16:36Speaker 3: years ago? Is that he's a racist? Right? Somehow, these
- 16:40Speaker 3: these empty words really take root and meaning with people
- 16:45Speaker 3: that choose to look at things only one way. I
- 16:50Speaker 3: have my opinions and my views, and we all know
- 16:52Speaker 3: I support the president. But it's not that I only
- 16:54Speaker 3: see things one way. I will see them every single way,
- 16:58Speaker 3: and then I'll make a decision, and ultimately I always
- 17:00Speaker 3: land typically in the same place. I look at this,
- 17:03Speaker 3: and I say, who's being honest here? What did Trump
- 17:06Speaker 3: say versus what she said? And she says, oh, you
- 17:09Speaker 3: think he was talking about you? How can I take her? Seriously?
- 17:12Speaker 3: All you got to do is have any type of
- 17:14Speaker 3: social media, open it for two seconds and you're going
- 17:17Speaker 3: to see somebody calling Trump a pedophile and a racist
- 17:19Speaker 3: and a stool stooge of Israel. Right, this is what
- 17:25Speaker 3: they call him day in, day out, Like I don't
- 17:27Speaker 3: know how many times per second I see that when
- 17:29Speaker 3: I'm scrolling. So for Nora o'donald, who is an accomplished
- 17:32Speaker 3: journalist who's hosting sixty minutes to play dumb like that,
- 17:35Speaker 3: it only is befitting to call her fake news, right,
- 17:39Speaker 3: I mean that's all I could say. I think today
- 17:42Speaker 3: she gets the Bed of the Week award.
- 17:44Speaker 7: Hit it.
- 17:52Speaker 3: So Nora o'donald gets the Pendell of the week. And again,
- 17:55Speaker 3: we're equal opportunity here, right, So I'm not gonna say
- 17:58Speaker 3: we're not going to give it to women. Women get
- 17:59Speaker 3: it just the same way as men get it. But
- 18:02Speaker 3: she did continue the interview, and he did have this
- 18:05Speaker 3: to say to Uija Jang. Right, Wuija Jang is the
- 18:09Speaker 3: current president of the White House Correspondence Press Association, whatever
- 18:13Speaker 3: it's called. And she is the Asian woman that was
- 18:16Speaker 3: seen speaking with him throughout the evening on the video
- 18:21Speaker 3: that you've likely seen. And she made her way back
- 18:23Speaker 3: to the White House for the White House Press Conference
- 18:26Speaker 3: and asked President Trump the following question. She also praised
- 18:29Speaker 3: him for being conciliatory and unifying the country and really
- 18:34Speaker 3: making a solemn moment out of it. Check this out.
- 18:39Speaker 11: So quickly, and I wonder, as you mentioned, it all
- 18:44Speaker 11: happens so quickly. And I wonder, especially because unfortunately you
- 18:50Speaker 11: have experience with these sorts of threads. In that moment
- 18:55Speaker 11: when you realize there was a threat in service agents,
- 18:59Speaker 11: we're telling us to take it down. Can you describe
- 19:03Speaker 11: what was going through your mind, how you were feeling
- 19:05Speaker 11: in that moment.
- 19:07Speaker 5: It's a very good question. Actually I was, Uh, it's
- 19:09Speaker 5: always shocking when something like this happens. Happened to me
- 19:13Speaker 5: a little bit, and uh that never changes.
- 19:17Speaker 7: Uh.
- 19:17Speaker 5: The fact we were sitting right next to each other, first, Lady,
- 19:21Speaker 5: am I right? And I heard a noise and sort
- 19:25Speaker 5: of thought it.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Was a tray.
- 19:27Speaker 5: I thought it was a tray going down. I've heard
- 19:30Speaker 5: that many times, and it was pretty loud noise, and
- 19:33Speaker 5: it was from quite far away. He hadn't reached the
- 19:36Speaker 5: area at all. They really got him, but uh so
- 19:39Speaker 5: it was quite far away. But it was a gun
- 19:42Speaker 5: and some people, uh really understood that pretty quickly. Other
- 19:47Speaker 5: people didn't. I was watching to see what was happening.
- 19:50Speaker 5: Probably should have gone down even faster.
- 19:53Speaker 6: Uh.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Milania was very cognizant. I think of what happened. I
- 19:57Speaker 5: think she knew immediately what happened. He was saying, that's
- 20:01Speaker 5: a bad noise. And we were whisked away along with
- 20:09Speaker 5: other people. But we were really whisked away. And again
- 20:11Speaker 5: the performance of the Secret Service and the police, all
- 20:15Speaker 5: of the law enforce breath it was really good.
- 20:17Speaker 4: So it was very quick.
- 20:18Speaker 5: There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking, because
- 20:20Speaker 5: it was a matter of seconds before we were out
- 20:22Speaker 5: the door and gone into an area. We very much
- 20:26Speaker 5: and you wanted to too. We very much wanted to
- 20:29Speaker 5: continue it because I don't like to let these sick people,
- 20:32Speaker 5: these thugs, these horrible, horrible people, change the fabric of
- 20:37Speaker 5: our life, change the course of what we do. So
- 20:40Speaker 5: we held out you were there, We held out right
- 20:42Speaker 5: till the end, but they didn't want to take a chance,
- 20:45Speaker 5: and I understand it was protocol.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Again, that's President Trump, excuse me, President Trump speaking with
- 20:51Speaker 3: Wija Jang, the president of the White House Correspondence Association.
- 20:56Speaker 3: She's also with CBS News, or at least this was
- 20:58Speaker 3: on CBS News. This clip that I'm playing for you,
- 21:01Speaker 3: and very interesting stuff, right, if you've seen the video, Yeah,
- 21:05Speaker 3: they did whisk them away. What I found interesting about
- 21:07Speaker 3: this was that the jd Vance team was a lot quicker,
- 21:12Speaker 3: like by I don't know, eight, ten, fifteen seconds than
- 21:15Speaker 3: the Trump team, right, because again he was just a
- 21:17Speaker 3: few feet away on the stage, and they got jd Vance,
- 21:20Speaker 3: the Vice President out of there, like I said, about
- 21:22Speaker 3: ten or fifteen seconds before they got to the president.
- 21:26Speaker 3: And when they got to the President, they didn't move
- 21:27Speaker 3: him quickly. I don't know if that's part of their
- 21:29Speaker 3: plan or not, but they moved Jdvance extraordinarily quickly. And
- 21:33Speaker 3: with President Trump, one guy got behind him, one guy
- 21:35Speaker 3: got in front of him, then another guy came out
- 21:38Speaker 3: with a rifle, and then they moved him. Then I
- 21:39Speaker 3: don't know if he if he hit the deck or
- 21:41Speaker 3: if he tripped or whatever. It was, but then you know,
- 21:44Speaker 3: they made like a cocoon around him, and then they
- 21:45Speaker 3: got him out of there, and and Uija Jang was,
- 21:48Speaker 3: you know, kind of left in the dust, like what
- 21:50Speaker 3: on earth is going on? And I can only imagine. Right,
- 21:53Speaker 3: I was meeting President Trump once and one of those
- 21:58Speaker 3: Secret Service guys kind of shoved me. You know, they're
- 22:02Speaker 3: like giant men. They're like baseball players, you know, they're
- 22:04Speaker 3: like six foot five and really strong, and you know,
- 22:08Speaker 3: he was kind of telling me to wait, but he
- 22:10Speaker 3: put his hand out so hard that it hit my shoulder,
- 22:12Speaker 3: went right through me. And again at the time, it
- 22:14Speaker 3: was probably two hundred pounds strong guys, and there's a
- 22:18Speaker 3: lot of firepower, and there's a lot of them. And
- 22:20Speaker 3: this was a private meeting with you know, me and
- 22:24Speaker 3: the President and maybe two or three other people. There
- 22:27Speaker 3: were about four other people in the vicinity, but it
- 22:30Speaker 3: was not a big public event, and it was at
- 22:36Speaker 3: least eight or nine agents that were like circling him.
- 22:40Speaker 3: The security around him is tight. And this was in
- 22:43Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, so I can only imagine, you know,
- 22:49Speaker 3: prior to the Butler thing, after the Butler thing, I
- 22:51Speaker 3: could only imagine how much tighter the protection around the
- 22:55Speaker 3: president is. But all that being said, I think that
- 22:59Speaker 3: it's a great thing that Trump is alive, right, And
- 23:01Speaker 3: if I didn't say that at the beginning, it's implied.
- 23:04Speaker 3: I think it's a great thing that they got this guy.
- 23:06Speaker 3: And I wasn't saying that I think he should be dead.
- 23:09Speaker 3: I was saying that I'm just surprised that he wasn't
- 23:12Speaker 3: shot after shooting at the cops. I just want to
- 23:14Speaker 3: clarify that for anybody who's going to try and twist
- 23:17Speaker 3: my words. But long story short, third assassination attempt on
- 23:22Speaker 3: El Trumpito, and man, there's never a dull moment anyway,
- 23:28Speaker 3: We're going to continue our conversation. Of course, the trip
- 23:30Speaker 3: to Islamabad, Pakistan that was canceled as the Iranians don't
- 23:37Speaker 3: really know who's in charge, or at least President Trump
- 23:39Speaker 3: is saying, they don't know who's who and who are
- 23:41Speaker 3: going to negotiate with if we don't have the right people.
- 23:44Speaker 3: So this goes right in line with the interview that
- 23:47Speaker 3: I did last week, and if you didn't check it out,
- 23:49Speaker 3: make sure you do. With the retired major from the
- 23:53Speaker 3: Israeli Defense Forces, Doraan Campell. I really want to urge
- 23:56Speaker 3: you to listen to that, and if you haven't heard it,
- 23:59Speaker 3: maybe on your podcast player. You'll hear it right after this,
- 24:02Speaker 3: but definitely a really interesting interview that gives you a
- 24:05Speaker 3: little bit of a bird's eye view into how those teams.
- 24:07Speaker 3: He's a special Forces leader with the IDF and is
- 24:12Speaker 3: an American citizen and was explaining the geopolitical situation from
- 24:17Speaker 3: a perspective that was easy to understand and one that
- 24:21Speaker 3: I thought was valuable. So make sure you check that
- 24:23Speaker 3: out again. Kudos to Ed Trompito. Thank god he's alive.
- 24:27Speaker 3: Kudos to all the men and women in the Secret
- 24:29Speaker 3: Service that did their thing and kept him alive. Glad
- 24:32Speaker 3: nobody was really seriously injured in this assassination attempt, and
- 24:35Speaker 3: there is more to come. Straight ahead. Keep it locked
- 24:37Speaker 3: right here. I'm Rich Valdez.
- 24:39Speaker 4: This is America, all right.
- 25:04Speaker 3: I mean it goes quick commercial break to let you
- 25:06Speaker 3: know that we are gonna be answering your questions. I
- 25:10Speaker 3: don't mean open phone in America. I mean you have
- 25:12Speaker 3: asked for an ad free version of this program and
- 25:15Speaker 3: it is coming your way. I'll let you know the
- 25:18Speaker 3: details on that We're going to have three different levels
- 25:20Speaker 3: where you could join, so you keep it locked right here.
- 25:23Speaker 3: More to come straight ahead. I am Rich Valdez.
- 25:44Speaker 4: This is America.
- 25:53Speaker 3: President MS. Take you up, mister President. Welcome to the
- 25:55Speaker 3: program sir.
- 25:56Speaker 4: Well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
- 25:59Speaker 6: I know you very well, and I have I.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Listen, but I have a lot of people that listen
- 26:03Speaker 5: and they love your show and I appreciate it very much.
- 26:06Speaker 3: All right, I mean goos, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez.
- 26:08Speaker 3: And a couple of days ago, there was a report
- 26:11Speaker 3: out of New York City where they claimed he was
- 26:14Speaker 3: fourteen or fifteen years old. This kids, I don't know,
- 26:16Speaker 3: six feet tall. He looks huge. You look like a
- 26:18Speaker 3: grown adult to me. But he asks a girl for
- 26:21Speaker 3: her phone number. She says no. He gets angry and
- 26:25Speaker 3: he attacks her. And the whole thing was quote on video.
- 26:28Speaker 3: His friends were actually encouraging him to to continue to
- 26:32Speaker 3: attack on the girl. This is the audio of that incident.
- 26:35Speaker 3: Listen to this, right.
- 26:39Speaker 12: I did knock the.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Shit out of you right now, right.
- 26:43Speaker 6: Oh no, no, you're staying right here.
- 26:45Speaker 3: We will now. He grabs her, she's trying to walk away.
- 26:48Speaker 3: He pushes her, but he chases her. He grabs her
- 26:55Speaker 3: in the air, body slams her to the ground. She's
- 26:58Speaker 3: out cold. While she's out cold, he stomps on her
- 27:01Speaker 3: head with his big foot. He walks away, smiling at
- 27:04Speaker 3: the camera. His friend is enamorated by the whole thing.
- 27:07Speaker 3: These kids are monsters, and the kid holding the camera
- 27:09Speaker 3: is equally as guilty as the kid doing the stomping.
- 27:12Speaker 3: In my opinion. Now, I saw this and I was outraged. Honestly,
- 27:17Speaker 3: I thought to myself, what more could this girl have
- 27:20Speaker 3: done other than pull out a gun and shoot him.
- 27:22Speaker 3: She's fourteen years old herself. What could she have done
- 27:25Speaker 3: against this monster who's double her size, who doesn't know
- 27:30Speaker 3: how to you know, doesn't understand no means no, doesn't
- 27:32Speaker 3: understand that women are to be treasured protected. It just
- 27:37Speaker 3: boils my blood to see something like this. But you
- 27:40Speaker 3: know what's worse, or maybe just as bad, the mother.
- 27:46Speaker 3: The mother now gives her account of what's going on,
- 27:53Speaker 3: and you're not going to believe what she says. The
- 27:55Speaker 3: mother of the monster, listen to this. Did you sit
- 27:58Speaker 3: while he stumped on her head?
- 28:00Speaker 13: She's been a bully to him.
- 28:02Speaker 5: That's it.
- 28:02Speaker 3: She's been a bully. Wow, she was being a bully
- 28:06Speaker 3: to him. So this lady thinks it's okay for her
- 28:10Speaker 3: uh gigantic son to grab a little girl and stomp
- 28:15Speaker 3: on her head and body slam her because she wouldn't
- 28:17Speaker 3: give a phone number. She didn't touch that guy. She
- 28:20Speaker 3: tried to get away from that guy and he followed her.
- 28:24Speaker 13: Yes, from in the classroom of the classes. What they
- 28:26Speaker 13: have and some messages? What has sent to his phone
- 28:29Speaker 13: from her? He learned she's been a bully to him
- 28:32Speaker 13: and push him down and he fell.
- 28:36Speaker 2: So then he picks her up because of that and
- 28:38Speaker 2: stomps on her head.
- 28:39Speaker 14: That justifies that.
- 28:40Speaker 13: No, they were on What I learned is like they
- 28:45Speaker 13: were friends. They are friends overall in general because it
- 28:48Speaker 13: goes to the same school.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Do you understand that would show that she's bullying her?
- 28:54Speaker 9: Yeah, we have he's online.
- 28:55Speaker 3: Do you know the name's online online? Well, you know
- 28:58Speaker 3: her name? Was he trying to get her phone number?
- 29:02Speaker 3: Was he trying to date her?
- 29:03Speaker 4: He has our number.
- 29:06Speaker 13: She's on Instagram, she's on What's Up and and messages
- 29:10Speaker 13: and him?
- 29:11Speaker 3: So where are the text That girl was trying to
- 29:14Speaker 3: get away.
- 29:14Speaker 13: From that point?
- 29:17Speaker 3: Okay, But where are the texts on lines on what's up?
- 29:22Speaker 3: This mother is delusional? Now listen. I understand that she's
- 29:27Speaker 3: trying to do the right thing, trying to protect her kid,
- 29:29Speaker 3: trying to you know, use her ego to get out
- 29:32Speaker 3: of this so that anything they ask she'll have a
- 29:34Speaker 3: positive response to. But at some point we have to
- 29:39Speaker 3: dig deep within our souls and say, my son made
- 29:43Speaker 3: a huge mistake. What he did was wrong, and we're
- 29:46Speaker 3: working on it. We're going to figure it out. Or
- 29:49Speaker 3: even no comment, how about the good old no comment,
- 29:53Speaker 3: but to say why did he did he say why?
- 29:56Speaker 3: The question was did he say why he stomped on
- 29:59Speaker 3: her head? And she said because she was bullying him.
- 30:06Speaker 3: He's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of my life.
- 30:09Speaker 3: I don't know. Am I overreacting. I want you to
- 30:11Speaker 3: let me know eight seven seven Valdes one or you
- 30:14Speaker 3: could You could do that same number and send a
- 30:15Speaker 3: text message, by the way, and our team will get
- 30:18Speaker 3: that to me and if before the end of my
- 30:20Speaker 3: session here, I'll read them on the air. But you know,
- 30:25Speaker 3: I can't help but think we're in a really bad place.
- 30:28Speaker 3: I don't know if this is the result of fatherless homes.
- 30:30Speaker 3: I don't know if this is the result of a lazy,
- 30:33Speaker 3: undisciplined mother. And I'm not saying that I'm not lazy
- 30:36Speaker 3: and undisciplined. I am. I can be lazy and undisciplined
- 30:39Speaker 3: like the rest of them. Right. I don't go to
- 30:41Speaker 3: the gym as often as I do. My gut is
- 30:43Speaker 3: getting bigger. I don't eat the way I'm supposed to
- 30:45Speaker 3: all the time. But if my kid stops on somebody's head,
- 30:50Speaker 3: first thing I'm going to ask is why did you
- 30:52Speaker 3: do that? You know what they do to you. And
- 30:54Speaker 3: the second thing I'm going to do is if I
- 30:57Speaker 3: have the boy and he's beating up the girl and
- 30:59Speaker 3: she didn't attack him, I'm going to say, look, this
- 31:03Speaker 3: is this is bad, and I'm going to correct my kid.
- 31:07Speaker 3: I mean, even blind people could see that that was wrong,
- 31:12Speaker 3: just based on the audio. We're in a really bad
- 31:16Speaker 3: place in life in society when we have incidents like
- 31:21Speaker 3: these where people will beat someone up. This isn't some
- 31:30Speaker 3: guy that's drunk at a bar, and that might be
- 31:33Speaker 3: acceptable for some I'm not saying that's acceptable to me,
- 31:36Speaker 3: But this is a fourteen or fifteen year old boy
- 31:38Speaker 3: who's very big. And I keep emphasizing big because you've
- 31:41Speaker 3: got to realize that you're double the size of this person,
- 31:46Speaker 3: Like where is your awareness? And maybe he doesn't have
- 31:48Speaker 3: any Maybe there's something wrong with his head. But still
- 31:52Speaker 3: people like that can't be in society. People who can't
- 31:55Speaker 3: handle rejection for whatever reason. Right, there's something called rejection sense.
- 31:59Speaker 3: It's dysphoria, right, I think that's what it's called RSD,
- 32:04Speaker 3: and it amplifies how you feel when you're rejected. If
- 32:08Speaker 3: he suffers from this issue, he shouldn't be in society.
- 32:14Speaker 3: He should stay away from those things. Maybe he shouldn't
- 32:16Speaker 3: try and engage with girls. Now, if there's a shred
- 32:20Speaker 3: of truth to what the mother's saying, Let's say the
- 32:22Speaker 3: girl was making fun of him. He doesn't comb his hair,
- 32:24Speaker 3: he has a big microphone haircut. Whatever it is, right,
- 32:28Speaker 3: bullying happens, that's still not the answer. I'm gonna slam
- 32:31Speaker 3: you on the ground and stomp your head. Listen, this
- 32:36Speaker 3: thing is bad all the way around. And that girl
- 32:39Speaker 3: was trying to get away from that guy, and he
- 32:40Speaker 3: pursued her, and that is inexcusable. Anyway, more to comes
- 32:43Speaker 3: straight ahead, keep it locked right here. It's Valdez.
- 32:46Speaker 4: This is America, This is America. He's got the best
- 32:58Speaker 4: head of hair and podcasting This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 33:04Speaker 3: All right, I mean he goes welcome back. Maybe that's
- 33:06Speaker 3: Rich Valdez. Valdeza then asked that Rich valdezt on all
- 33:09Speaker 3: of the social media, happy to be with you this Monday,
- 33:12Speaker 3: and check this out. The Supreme Court of the United
- 33:14Speaker 3: States has decided they have ruled to reinstate the Texas
- 33:19Speaker 3: redistricting map. That's right, the map that was called into
- 33:24Speaker 3: question and taken to the federal courts, and the federal
- 33:26Speaker 3: court said, Nope, you can't do that. They brought it
- 33:28Speaker 3: to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court again today saying no, absolutely,
- 33:33Speaker 3: you can go ahead and keep that map. It's all
- 33:35Speaker 3: good in the hood. The Supreme Court formally reinstating the
- 33:39Speaker 3: pro Republican map. Wasn't ready for that, you guys all
- 33:43Speaker 3: that that's Ken Couchinelli who's opining on the map in Virginia.
- 33:50Speaker 3: But before we get to the Virginia, I want to
- 33:53Speaker 3: get to the map. Excuse me, what's wrong with you guys?
- 33:57Speaker 3: The Supreme Court finally reinstating this and this is a
- 34:02Speaker 3: very interesting thing, because if the Virginia one doesn't go
- 34:06Speaker 3: through and the Texas one goes through, then that's a
- 34:08Speaker 3: good thing. Right Anyway, six to three majority formalizing the
- 34:13Speaker 3: interim decision that was made in December. Blah blah blah
- 34:17Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. They're going to
- 34:19Speaker 3: have as many as five currently Democrat districts are going
- 34:25Speaker 3: to now be Republican districts as they did in December.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. We already
- 34:33Speaker 3: covered a lot of this anyway. Yeah, that's the bottom line.
- 34:37Speaker 3: So the process of redrawing the maps or redistricting is
- 34:42Speaker 3: generally happening once per decade to reflect population changes, and
- 34:47Speaker 3: what happened in Virginia was it's being done mid decade
- 34:50Speaker 3: and it's not being done to reflect any population change.
- 34:55Speaker 3: Excuse me. It's being done specifically to reflect a political change,
- 35:00Speaker 3: which I think is what's not going to happen. Now.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Ken Kuchinelli was on Newsmax who offered this report. By
- 35:06Speaker 3: the way, and now I'm ready for ken Kuchinelli's Democrats.
- 35:10Speaker 6: They didn't care about the rules and now what they
- 35:13Speaker 6: want to say is, oh, the will of the people, Well,
- 35:16Speaker 6: they should have thought about the rules that go along
- 35:19Speaker 6: with all of this. In our state constitution. There are
- 35:23Speaker 6: four solid state constitutional arguments that they violated the constitution
- 35:30Speaker 6: and they have to win all four to make this stick.
- 35:35Speaker 3: All right, So that again is former Attorney General of
- 35:38Speaker 3: the State of Virginia or the Commonwealth of Virginia, I
- 35:41Speaker 3: should say Ken Kuchinelli, and he's usually right on right,
- 35:44Speaker 3: Ken Kuchinelli is a great lawyer. I think that this
- 35:48Speaker 3: is going to present the problem for the Virginia decision.
- 35:52Speaker 3: But again they're going to say, we had the voters decide.
- 35:54Speaker 3: This was the voter, So you're going to violate the
- 35:56Speaker 3: will of the people, right, So it's going to be
- 35:58Speaker 3: an ongoing battle for sure. Now, in other news, another
- 36:02Speaker 3: thing that's happening, being led by Democrats quite frankly, is
- 36:07Speaker 3: this national popular vote business. And again this is people
- 36:12Speaker 3: trying to use their state legislatures to legalize the national
- 36:16Speaker 3: popular vote as the official count of how we can
- 36:22Speaker 3: award electoral votes. So saying, if whoever wins the national
- 36:26Speaker 3: popular vote, that's who's going to win the presidential election. Now,
- 36:30Speaker 3: again common sense is an interesting thing because by saying
- 36:35Speaker 3: it that way, it almost sounds like it makes sense. However,
- 36:38Speaker 3: we don't use common sense when we talk about the law, right,
- 36:42Speaker 3: we use common law. We use existing law, what they
- 36:45Speaker 3: call president and the law in this country since seventeen
- 36:50Speaker 3: eighty nine has always been the electoral college. Right, that
- 36:54Speaker 3: is how a president is elected in the United States. Now,
- 36:57Speaker 3: to change that, you would have to change the constitution,
- 37:00Speaker 3: not this national popular vote stuff. That's all a ruse,
- 37:03Speaker 3: just like the Virginians going and saying we want to
- 37:06Speaker 3: vote for a redistrict thing when it goes against the
- 37:08Speaker 3: Virginia constitution. Right, when you have things that are in
- 37:11Speaker 3: your constitution, you can't just go against them by passing
- 37:14Speaker 3: a law. You have to undo this constitutional precedent, right
- 37:19Speaker 3: by introducing a new law which to override your constitution.
- 37:24Speaker 3: At least, you know, federally, you're talking about a three
- 37:27Speaker 3: fifths majority in many cases. So this is a wild
- 37:32Speaker 3: thing that people are actually entertaining that that doesn't work.
- 37:35Speaker 3: It's not real. However, what we do have and what
- 37:39Speaker 3: we do see is that states are taking this seriously. Now,
- 37:42Speaker 3: this is something that I've seen and I understand but
- 37:46Speaker 3: somebody who sees it and understands it better than me
- 37:48Speaker 3: is my friend Kathy. You might see her on social
- 37:52Speaker 3: media as Kathy Talk at Kathy Talk. She's terrific at
- 37:56Speaker 3: these explainers, and I've got one I want you to hear.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Check this out.
- 38:00Speaker 15: Your vote may not even count anymore. And I'm not
- 38:02Speaker 15: talking about fraud. I'm talking about a bill that your
- 38:04Speaker 15: governor might have already signed into law while nobody was
- 38:07Speaker 15: paying attention. It's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
- 38:11Speaker 15: And here's how it works. Democrat controlled states are passing
- 38:14Speaker 15: laws to say that, regardless of how their residents vote,
- 38:17Speaker 15: they will hand all of their electoral votes to whoever
- 38:20Speaker 15: wins the National Popular Vote. That's not how constitutional republic works. Yesterday,
- 38:26Speaker 15: Virginia's governor, Abigail Spamberger, she signed it into law. So
- 38:30Speaker 15: now Virginia is the eighteen state to join. They have
- 38:33Speaker 15: two hundred and twenty two electoral votes locked in. They
- 38:36Speaker 15: only need two seventy for this to become effective. This
- 38:39Speaker 15: has been a twenty year strategy to dismantle the electoral college,
- 38:44Speaker 15: and it exists for one reason, so that a handful
- 38:47Speaker 15: of massive cities can't decide the election for the entire country.
- 38:51Speaker 15: Keep in mind, these are the same cities and states
- 38:53Speaker 15: that flooded with illegal migrants and then chose no voter
- 38:57Speaker 15: ID for people to cast their ballots. Connecting the dots.
- 39:01Speaker 15: Make sure you people are paying attention to what is
- 39:04Speaker 15: happening in your own state, because that is where it matters.
- 39:09Speaker 3: One hundred percent right, Thank you Kathy for that update.
- 39:12Speaker 3: This is one hundred percent true. This is the usurpation,
- 39:16Speaker 3: the circumvention of our constitution, of our republic, as she
- 39:21Speaker 3: quite aptly put it, and it's happening right under our noses.
- 39:25Speaker 3: And people think it's a nice thing. It's a good thing.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Why because well, because Trump won the electoral college. And
- 39:30Speaker 3: if Trump won the electoral college, then it must be
- 39:31Speaker 3: a bad thing, right, old white men, old straight white men, sis,
- 39:35Speaker 3: gender white men, whatever line they want to feed you.
- 39:38Speaker 3: It's the law of the land. And if you want
- 39:39Speaker 3: to change the law of the land, you got to
- 39:41Speaker 3: change your constitution. Not this National Vote Compact, which I'm
- 39:46Speaker 3: sure is going to make its way to the Supreme Court,
- 39:49Speaker 3: and I'm sure they're going to say this isn't contravention
- 39:53Speaker 3: of the Constitution and therefore it's not legal. Electing a
- 39:57Speaker 3: president is a federal process, it's a election. So these
- 40:02Speaker 3: states are acting in contravention of this. And this is
- 40:06Speaker 3: clear as day to me. Now I understand literally right here,
- 40:09Speaker 3: you hear it. That is the United States Constitution hanging
- 40:12Speaker 3: on the wall next to me, and it has hung
- 40:14Speaker 3: next to me every day that I've worked in media
- 40:17Speaker 3: and broadcasting for the last eight years because I felt
- 40:21Speaker 3: that I needed to know this stuff and be able
- 40:23Speaker 3: to reference it quickly if somebody's challenging me on it.
- 40:28Speaker 3: So I say this with my understanding of this. Now again,
- 40:31Speaker 3: I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a judge. I'm not
- 40:32Speaker 3: any of these things. And you get some people that
- 40:35Speaker 3: will twist the truth to benefit their argument. But at
- 40:38Speaker 3: the end of the day, we have to have some
- 40:40Speaker 3: hope that the justice is in the Supreme Court are
- 40:43Speaker 3: going to hold true to the spirit and tradition of
- 40:46Speaker 3: the United States Constitution and do what they were sworn
- 40:49Speaker 3: to do and what they were appointed to do. So
- 40:52Speaker 3: we'll see how this goes. But it never ceases to
- 40:57Speaker 3: amaze me. How how I'm gonna use a word desperate, right,
- 41:03Speaker 3: desperate and ingenious at the same time, the left is
- 41:08Speaker 3: in trying to do what they do. Anyway. That's it
- 41:12Speaker 3: on the election stuff. Coming right back, more to come
- 41:14Speaker 3: straight ahead. It's for child desk. Don't go anywhere. Happy Monday.
- 41:17Speaker 4: This is America.
- 41:31Speaker 3: This is America, all right, Famdia, welcome back. And you
- 41:38Speaker 3: know I've shared many times that in my journey, I
- 41:42Speaker 3: was once almost three hundred pounds and lost a ton
- 41:45Speaker 3: of weight, and now I'm I don't know what am
- 41:48Speaker 3: I just probably just over two hundred pounds. I'm usually
- 41:52Speaker 3: just under two hundred pounds. But every now and again
- 41:54Speaker 3: you get into, you know, your moods and whatnot. And
- 41:57Speaker 3: I haven't been in the gym as often as i'd
- 41:59Speaker 3: like to be. I started going again, but I'm not
- 42:01Speaker 3: as consistent as i'd like to be. Anyway, Long story short,
- 42:05Speaker 3: there is a hormone that is produced, and I'm not
- 42:07Speaker 3: talking about the glucagon stuff, the golp one, which is
- 42:11Speaker 3: fascinating in and of itself. We've talked a lot about that,
- 42:14Speaker 3: right and the peptides that they've made that are helping
- 42:16Speaker 3: people all over the place, the ozempic and the lagovi
- 42:20Speaker 3: and the zep bound and all the rest of those
- 42:23Speaker 3: tru zeppetide, But specifically, I want to talk about this
- 42:27Speaker 3: new hormone that's being produced, and I got a clip
- 42:31Speaker 3: on it. Check this out.
- 42:34Speaker 12: Another substance that is released both by muscle and the
- 42:37Speaker 12: liver during exercise is a hormone called FGF twenty one.
- 42:42Speaker 12: A recent study found that giving FGF twenty one as
- 42:46Speaker 12: a drug reduced alcohol consumption up to fifty percent in
- 42:50Speaker 12: mice and vervet monkeys that were addicted to alcohol. FGF
- 42:55Speaker 12: twenty one produced as a result of exercise, particularly vigorous
- 42:59Speaker 12: aerobic exercise, can cross the blood brain barrier and bind
- 43:04Speaker 12: her receptors in the hypothalamus. It also alters dopamine signaling.
- 43:09Speaker 12: Dopamine is used in reward pathways in the brain, which
- 43:12Speaker 12: play a role in alcohol seeking behavior.
- 43:15Speaker 3: Interesting, right, So now I say this because a friend
- 43:19Speaker 3: of mine she had gotten weight loss surgery some years
- 43:24Speaker 3: ago and she probably lost one hundred pounds and after
- 43:30Speaker 3: that she stopped drinking. And it wasn't for calories or
- 43:33Speaker 3: anything like that or health purposes. She said, whenever I
- 43:36Speaker 3: have a drink, I never ever get a buzz. She
- 43:39Speaker 3: doesn't get drunk. And I said, how could that be?
- 43:42Speaker 3: She have no idea, she said, but I could put
- 43:44Speaker 3: down drink after drink after drink, and I'm sober as
- 43:48Speaker 3: all can be. She's like, it never hits me, and
- 43:52Speaker 3: I always found that odd, And now this makes sense.
- 43:54Speaker 3: I don't know how it's happening and why it's happening,
- 43:56Speaker 3: but I guess this hormone FGF twenty one is produced
- 44:00Speaker 3: which blocks the alcohol consumption to your bloodstream so that
- 44:03Speaker 3: you're not getting drunk. Now she's talking about the larger
- 44:06Speaker 3: health benefits of it, and so is the article that
- 44:08Speaker 3: I was looking at in Fox News. Sorry Fox Business,
- 44:12Speaker 3: but no Fox News. Yeah, I was right. Natural hormone.
- 44:15Speaker 3: This is from just a couple of days ago, the
- 44:17Speaker 3: twenty second of April. Natural hormone may reduce ob city
- 44:20Speaker 3: without cutting calories. According to scientists. Listen to this, this
- 44:23Speaker 3: is pretty interesting stuff. Researchers at the University of Oklahoma
- 44:27Speaker 3: have discovered a hormone that appears to reverse ob city
- 44:30Speaker 3: in the body. This study was published in the Journal
- 44:32Speaker 3: of Cell Reports, and it used mouse models that she
- 44:35Speaker 3: talked about to identify it as naturally occurring hormone called
- 44:38Speaker 3: FGF twenty one, which stands for fibroblast growth factor twenty one.
- 44:43Speaker 3: The hormone appears to work by signaling the brain region,
- 44:47Speaker 3: the area of the brain that's involved in metabolism and
- 44:50Speaker 3: appetite regulation. That's the same area that's targeted with the
- 44:54Speaker 3: popular GLP one drugs. According to this press release from
- 44:58Speaker 3: the university, the FGF twenty one is reportedly already involved
- 45:02Speaker 3: in the development of a drug to treat metabolic dysfunction
- 45:05Speaker 3: associated with fatty liver disease. You also have the professor
- 45:12Speaker 3: Matthew Potoff, who is a professor of biochemistry and physiology
- 45:16Speaker 3: at the Ou College of Medicine and at the Center
- 45:23Speaker 3: for Diabetes as well, saying that the study showed how
- 45:25Speaker 3: the hormone sends these signals to the lower back region
- 45:29Speaker 3: of the brain. Again, this is out of my wheelhouse,
- 45:32Speaker 3: but I just found this whole thing very interesting. So
- 45:35Speaker 3: previous studies showed that FGF twenty one signals the brain
- 45:38Speaker 3: instead of the liver, but they didn't know where in
- 45:41Speaker 3: the brain. Now they do. He goes on to say,
- 45:44Speaker 3: we thought we would find that it signaled the hypothalamus,
- 45:47Speaker 3: which is widely implicated in body weight regulation. So we
- 45:50Speaker 3: were surprised to discover that the signal was actually to
- 45:54Speaker 3: the rear of the brain, or the hind brain as
- 45:56Speaker 3: they call it, which is where the GLP one analogs
- 45:59Speaker 3: are believed to act. The brain circuit behind these metabolic
- 46:03Speaker 3: benefits appears to work by mediating the effects of FGF
- 46:08Speaker 3: twenty one. I thought that was pretty interesting, right. This
- 46:11Speaker 3: process can also be linked to side effects like gastrotensinal
- 46:15Speaker 3: issues and bone loss in some cases. He went on
- 46:20Speaker 3: to say that we hope that by identifying the specific circuit,
- 46:24Speaker 3: it can help in the creation of a more targeted
- 46:26Speaker 3: therapy which will be effective without the negative side effects
- 46:30Speaker 3: that they're currently finding now. The FGF twenty one and
- 46:32Speaker 3: GLP one hormones act very differently, although they target the
- 46:37Speaker 3: same area of the brain. According to these researchers, GLP
- 46:40Speaker 3: one reduces food and take via appetite. FGF twenty one
- 46:45Speaker 3: increases metabolic rate, burning energy and triggering weight loss. Imagine
- 46:50Speaker 3: being on both of those, you'd be in optimal shape.
- 46:52Speaker 3: Sign me up, I'll take some FGF twenty one. Hootoff
- 46:55Speaker 3: shared his hope for the hormone drug that could target
- 47:00Speaker 3: both weight loss and the fatty liver disease noting that
- 47:04Speaker 3: additional studies are still necessary at this point. Now Doctor
- 47:09Speaker 3: Peter Balss He's a specialist in hormone and weight loss
- 47:14Speaker 3: here in New York. He said that this discovery raises
- 47:17Speaker 3: the possibility of targeting metabolic rate directly rather than relying
- 47:21Speaker 3: on calorie restriction. However, it's a preliminary study, so I'll
- 47:27Speaker 3: keep you up to speed on this. But I just
- 47:28Speaker 3: thought this whole thing was very interesting, that we're really
- 47:32Speaker 3: making strides in this area, because if you ask me,
- 47:34Speaker 3: this is one of the biggest problems that we face
- 47:36Speaker 3: right now in our country, is that we have so
- 47:38Speaker 3: many fat people, right and fat people, and I guess
- 47:42Speaker 3: this one you can take to the back. I'll own
- 47:44Speaker 3: this all day. Fat people are typically lazy, typically right
- 47:49Speaker 3: when I can tell you when I'm fatter, I am
- 47:52Speaker 3: definitely lazier. Right when I am in better shape. The
- 47:55Speaker 3: things I do are like go on walks, I go
- 47:58Speaker 3: to the treadmill, I go to the gym, my lift weights,
- 48:01Speaker 3: I do more stuff. When I am not active, I
- 48:05Speaker 3: am lazier. I sit on my couch more, I bingemore
- 48:08Speaker 3: TV shows. I do a whole lot less of everything.
- 48:12Speaker 3: So I believe that fat people are lazy. That and
- 48:17Speaker 3: I'm saying this as a former fat person that occasionally
- 48:20Speaker 3: gets fat. I mean now and again, right or fat ear,
- 48:23Speaker 3: And I feel the lazy habits kick right in. Right,
- 48:26Speaker 3: It's something I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it later.
- 48:28Speaker 3: I'm watching TV. I just want to sit here and relax.
- 48:31Speaker 3: I'd like some fried pork rinds. Anybody have some, you know,
- 48:34Speaker 3: it's just a fact of life. So with a fat country, right,
- 48:40Speaker 3: when you have men that are just everybody's got man boobs,
- 48:44Speaker 3: everybody's we're glorifying the dad bod. Nobody's a hard body,
- 48:49Speaker 3: rock ribbed man anymore, right, or a few of them,
- 48:53Speaker 3: then that puts us at danger, right, danger physically, medically,
- 49:00Speaker 3: security wise. Right, our enemies are going to say, oh good,
- 49:03Speaker 3: all we have to do is lift weights, because these
- 49:05Speaker 3: guys are a bunch of fat, lazy Americans. Now, of course,
- 49:08Speaker 3: I'm speaking in generalities here, but the bottom line is,
- 49:11Speaker 3: you're better off if you're lifting weights. You're better off
- 49:14Speaker 3: if you're building muscle. You're better off if you have
- 49:16Speaker 3: a leaner frame than if you have a fatter frame.
- 49:18Speaker 3: And that's just life, right, So you know, I go
- 49:21Speaker 3: to the gym, not necessarily to say after three or
- 49:24Speaker 3: four years, Wow, you've been going to the gym for
- 49:26Speaker 3: three or four years and you still don't have a
- 49:28Speaker 3: six pack. No, I don't go there for a six pack.
- 49:30Speaker 3: I go there so that I'm not fat like I
- 49:32Speaker 3: was the day before. Right, every day away from fat
- 49:36Speaker 3: is a good thing. Right, Fat is the enemy. And
- 49:39Speaker 3: I say all this because I remember that I was
- 49:43Speaker 3: talking to a guy some years ago from a diabetes
- 49:46Speaker 3: foundation and we were debating each other on TV. He
- 49:51Speaker 3: was a Democrat strategist at that time, and I remember
- 49:56Speaker 3: him saying, you know, I did a and he had
- 49:58Speaker 3: lost a lot of weight, and this is a conversation
- 50:02Speaker 3: about weight loss we were talking about. And he said
- 50:04Speaker 3: to me, you know, I remember I presented at this
- 50:08Speaker 3: you know, the diabetic foundation that he works with, at
- 50:10Speaker 3: a conference and he made an opening statement like fat
- 50:15Speaker 3: is bad. And he said they scared him, the people
- 50:19Speaker 3: that hired him to do the job or you know,
- 50:21Speaker 3: asked him to speak that they were so offended and
- 50:24Speaker 3: they said, we don't want to offend people that are
- 50:26Speaker 3: fat in the audience. And he said, no, it's exactly
- 50:28Speaker 3: what I want to do. I want people to realize
- 50:30Speaker 3: that it's not okay to be fat. This whole body
- 50:32Speaker 3: positivity thing is good. You should feel positive about your body,
- 50:36Speaker 3: but not when you're fat, that you should feel bad
- 50:38Speaker 3: about it and lose weight. And I said, yeah, that's
- 50:42Speaker 3: a good thing, right, because it's not about the way
- 50:44Speaker 3: you look, it's about the way your body functions. Anyway,
- 50:47Speaker 3: it was just an interesting talk, and I agree that
- 50:50Speaker 3: we are in a place where you know, we are
- 50:54Speaker 3: glorifying bad health, bad decisions, bad diets, bad habits, and
- 50:59Speaker 3: it's bad all around. It's bad for your mental health,
- 51:02Speaker 3: it's bad for your physical health, it's bad for your
- 51:04Speaker 3: cardiovascular health. It's bad for the safety and security of
- 51:08Speaker 3: our nation. What does the future look like of our
- 51:10Speaker 3: country if we all become fat? Now again, generality, it
- 51:15Speaker 3: is not everybody's going to become fat. Some people have
- 51:17Speaker 3: those amazing metabolisms that burn everything insight. But at the
- 51:21Speaker 3: end of the day, I think we owe it to
- 51:23Speaker 3: ourselves and to the next generation, and even to the
- 51:25Speaker 3: generation that came before us, that did work hard, that
- 51:29Speaker 3: did build the railroads back in the seventeen hundreds, eighteen hundreds, right,
- 51:33Speaker 3: these people built America, and now that we have all
- 51:38Speaker 3: of this infrastructure. I think it's incumbent upon us with
- 51:41Speaker 3: the AI generation that's before us, to say, hey, we're
- 51:46Speaker 3: going to make sure that we maintain that tradition, that
- 51:49Speaker 3: we are ready to rock and roll, and that we're
- 51:51Speaker 3: going to be healthy. And I know it's easier to
- 51:53Speaker 3: say than to do, because I've done it. You know,
- 51:55Speaker 3: I lost probably eighty pounds through the Keto diet and
- 51:59Speaker 3: exercise before I ever touched any peptides or any of
- 52:02Speaker 3: that stuff, So you know it can be done. Took
- 52:07Speaker 3: me a long time. It wasn't like I did it
- 52:08Speaker 3: in five minutes. It probably took me four years. But
- 52:11Speaker 3: my point is you can consistently work towards those things,
- 52:14Speaker 3: and then you'll fluctuate and you gain some and you
- 52:17Speaker 3: lose some, and you just gotta again go back to
- 52:19Speaker 3: the good habits. Anyway, I know I'm preaching to the
- 52:21Speaker 3: choir here, but ultimately I think it's important that we
- 52:25Speaker 3: do the right thing with our bodies because ultimately that
- 52:27Speaker 3: means we're doing the right thing for America and for
- 52:29Speaker 3: the future. All right, coming right back, final thoughts, don't
- 52:32Speaker 3: go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.
- 52:34Speaker 1: This is America. This is America.
- 52:50Speaker 4: He's making podcasting great again. This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 52:56Speaker 3: All right, I mean he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez here.
- 52:58Speaker 3: And I wanted to get to a couple of things.
- 53:00Speaker 3: I have a couple of clips I want to play
- 53:02Speaker 3: for you, because you know what's still going on in
- 53:04Speaker 3: our world. They're still killing Christians overseas, right, Christians are
- 53:09Speaker 3: being slaughtered all over the place. Just this morning or
- 53:13Speaker 3: last night or whatever time it was, I got a
- 53:17Speaker 3: note from somebody, like one of those direct messages on
- 53:21Speaker 3: social media, like on Instagram or something, and it was
- 53:24Speaker 3: a video of a woman who was approached by an
- 53:27Speaker 3: Islamist militant and a woman in Africa. I think, I
- 53:37Speaker 3: want to say Sudan, maybe Gana. I honestly don't remember
- 53:40Speaker 3: what the video said where it was, but this woman
- 53:45Speaker 3: said that the guy took a machetti to that was
- 53:49Speaker 3: English and Spanish, right, machetti, machete. He took a machete
- 53:53Speaker 3: to both of her small sons, and she just had
- 53:58Speaker 3: to sit there and watch. It was just heartbroken and
- 54:01Speaker 3: screaming and crying. And if I wanted to depress you,
- 54:04Speaker 3: I'd play the audio, but it's all in her African language,
- 54:07Speaker 3: and you know, you really got to see it more
- 54:09Speaker 3: than hear it. But it reminded me of how dire
- 54:13Speaker 3: things are in Africa. And it's not just Africa. It's happening.
- 54:16Speaker 3: And even in Lebanon, right, even with the Israeli war
- 54:19Speaker 3: with Lebanon, with has Belah, there are Christians that are
- 54:22Speaker 3: being slaughtered where has Bela is hiding out amongst the
- 54:25Speaker 3: Christians and whatnot. I mean, lots of bad things are
- 54:28Speaker 3: happening to Christians around the world, and this is something
- 54:34Speaker 3: that happens. I think it happens entirely too much, and
- 54:38Speaker 3: it's something that we don't often get to hear a
- 54:41Speaker 3: lot about, and I feel like sometimes it gets swept
- 54:45Speaker 3: under the rug, so to speak. And that's not a
- 54:49Speaker 3: good thing, right, It's not a good thing that we
- 54:51Speaker 3: live in a world where that type of thing is happening,
- 54:54Speaker 3: and happening in the quantities that it is and in
- 54:58Speaker 3: the frequency that it is. These things, in my opinion,
- 55:03Speaker 3: have to end. We have to take a stand against this.
- 55:07Speaker 3: And it's the radicals within the Muslim movement, right. I
- 55:17Speaker 3: don't blame all the Muslims, but I do blame the
- 55:19Speaker 3: radicals because they are very intent not just on prostelytizing
- 55:27Speaker 3: and sharing their faith and dominating the globe with their faith,
- 55:30Speaker 3: which I would say is likely the goal of every religion,
- 55:34Speaker 3: but more so the way that they do it. And
- 55:37Speaker 3: in this clip, and again this is not me saying
- 55:40Speaker 3: all Muslims do this, but this is me saying this
- 55:42Speaker 3: Muslim said this and is acting this way. And it's
- 55:46Speaker 3: really eye opening. Listen to this.
- 55:50Speaker 14: When Muslims go and conquer the adjacent country, what do
- 55:55Speaker 14: we do? We kill them all? No, the prophet says,
- 55:58Speaker 14: the first thing you do is called the Islam. If
- 56:00Speaker 14: they refuse, then tell them a law obliged upon you
- 56:06Speaker 14: to pay taxation in return. When enemy comes and attack
- 56:11Speaker 14: your country, you don't fight.
- 56:13Speaker 4: We Muslims protect you.
- 56:14Speaker 6: So panelah for this little money.
- 56:17Speaker 14: Yes, and you enjoy sitting in your homes and in
- 56:19Speaker 14: your country and live your life normally.
- 56:22Speaker 4: But the ruling is for shahiah.
- 56:25Speaker 14: So you do not open nightclubs. You do not for nikki.
- 56:28Speaker 14: If they refuse, then we have to fight. And if
- 56:33Speaker 14: we fight you, then we capture you. You become our slaves,
- 56:36Speaker 14: and we take your land and you take care it
- 56:39Speaker 14: because you refuse, I give you too good option in
- 56:41Speaker 14: that in the coming forty to fifty years, when the
- 56:43Speaker 14: Muslims become strong as they're supposed to be.
- 56:46Speaker 3: When now, yeah, you heard that right, he said, we
- 56:51Speaker 3: don't kill you, indicated we won't kill you right away.
- 56:54Speaker 3: Right when he says fight, he takes his hand and
- 56:56Speaker 3: he runs it across his neck, meaning we're gonna kill
- 57:00Speaker 3: you first. It's their third option. That is wild. I've
- 57:05Speaker 3: never heard of any religion right that does that, including
- 57:09Speaker 3: my Muslim friends. Yeah, I've never ever had one of
- 57:12Speaker 3: them tell me that you know we're gonna kill you.
- 57:14Speaker 3: I've never I grew up with a bunch of kids
- 57:18Speaker 3: in high school that were from Palestine, from Syria, and
- 57:21Speaker 3: they are Muslim. Not a single one of them ever
- 57:28Speaker 3: asked me to become a Muslim, ever tried to share
- 57:32Speaker 3: their faith with me. Not a single one of them.
- 57:34Speaker 3: They were always the best tippers. They were all my
- 57:36Speaker 3: barber clients, great guys, nice guys, and I haven't seen
- 57:42Speaker 3: many of them in a long time, but I feel
- 57:44Speaker 3: like we'd still get along. One of them, I think
- 57:47Speaker 3: doesn't like me anymore because of my political positions, and
- 57:50Speaker 3: he says it, you know, in effect that I'm a
- 57:52Speaker 3: shill for Israel. But outside of him, and he's an attorney,
- 57:57Speaker 3: and I still have a lot of respect for him
- 57:58Speaker 3: and care for him and his family. But outside of
- 58:01Speaker 3: that one kid, out of the six or seven of them,
- 58:03Speaker 3: we all get along. So I can't say that I've
- 58:07Speaker 3: had this experience with Muslims. I can't. But they're out
- 58:10Speaker 3: there right and they want to subjugate people, make you
- 58:15Speaker 3: their slave. You heard him say it, not me. That's
- 58:18Speaker 3: some wild stuff. That's stuff that most people can't get behind.
- 58:22Speaker 3: This is why we have to be informed. We have
- 58:24Speaker 3: to know what's going on. We have to stand on something,
- 58:27Speaker 3: whether it's your faith, it's your philosophy. You got to
- 58:30Speaker 3: stand for something because if you stand for nothing, you'll
- 58:33Speaker 3: fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for evil
- 58:37Speaker 3: to triumph is for good people like you to sit
- 58:40Speaker 3: there and do nothing. So now is your time to
- 58:43Speaker 3: do something. A stall approxima, Take care, good night, and
- 58:47Speaker 3: God bless you America. I'm Rich Valdez, and this is America.
- 58:52Speaker 4: This is America.
