- 0:05Speaker 1: This is America with Rich Valdez, powered by politiweek.com.
- 0:10Speaker 2: And Rich Valdez is with us, former Christie administration official.
- 0:12Speaker 3: You work for Chris Christie, you've been in politics, a
- 0:14Speaker 3: lot of public service stuff.
- 0:15Speaker 4: Rich Valdez, communist now with the Washington Times.
- 0:18Speaker 5: This is America.
- 0:19Speaker 6: Rich TV, you're on the air with the nation.
- 0:21Speaker 7: This is America.
- 0:23Speaker 5: With your host, Rich Valdez.
- 0:26Speaker 6: What's up, America?
- 0:27Speaker 4: I am Rich Valdez, Valdez with an S, at Rich
- 0:30Speaker 4: Valdez on all of the social media. Welcome to the
- 0:33Speaker 4: Friday night edition of the program. Earlier this week, I
- 0:35Speaker 4: filled in on the Mark Levin Show, and some of
- 0:38Speaker 4: what we were talking about was AI. We're going to
- 0:41Speaker 4: discuss AI with Bill Walton. He's going to be joining
- 0:44Speaker 4: me in a little bit. I want to start with
- 0:46Speaker 4: a big heartfelt thank you, right? A big thank you
- 0:48Speaker 4: to President Trump, el Trumpito de Naldes Magnus, the 45th
- 0:52Speaker 4: and 47th President of these United States, el Presidente Donald J. Trump,
- 0:57Speaker 4: because he extended a very gracious invitation for me to
- 1:00Speaker 4: join the White House for the Hispanic Heritage Reception. It's
- 1:04Speaker 4: always an honor to be invited to the White House,
- 1:07Speaker 4: especially now that El Trompito is battling, fighting back against
- 1:12Speaker 4: the fake news media with the same energy that my
- 1:14Speaker 4: abuela used to use, swinging a wooden spoon with arroz
- 1:17Speaker 4: con gandules. This is the reality of Washington, D.C., right?
- 1:21Speaker 4: It's a back and forth on every single topic, and
- 1:24Speaker 4: we're going to get into a bunch of those this evening.
- 1:26Speaker 4: And The invitation for me really underscored how many Hispanics
- 1:33Speaker 4: truly love this country. They support President Trump, his agenda,
- 1:38Speaker 4: and truly want to vote their values of faith, family, freedom,
- 1:42Speaker 4: hard work, and law and order.
- 1:45Speaker 6: So again, thank you, Mr. President.
- 1:46Speaker 4: I'm truly humbled and honored. I appreciate it. And, you know,
- 1:50Speaker 4: I grew up in Brooklyn, New York, moved to Hudson County,
- 1:52Speaker 4: New Jersey, right over the Hudson River. And I spent
- 1:55Speaker 4: my teenage years cutting hair. in different neighborhood barbershops until
- 2:00Speaker 4: I had my own barbershop. And I would listen to
- 2:02Speaker 4: the OGs, the old guys. They would discuss politics while
- 2:06Speaker 4: the radio would play like a hip-hop song or a
- 2:09Speaker 4: salsa song. And you would smell café con leche, right?
- 2:12Speaker 4: Mixed with that classic barbershop cologne, I'm going to call it,
- 2:15Speaker 4: like Clubman Talk, right? And occasionally, if you had any
- 2:20Speaker 4: really old clients, you would have that Vitalis hair pomade
- 2:25Speaker 4: or the hair tonic. Anyway, the point is I'm trying
- 2:29Speaker 4: to bring you back, right? And it was there that
- 2:32Speaker 4: I saw how people really, what they cared about. When
- 2:35Speaker 4: you hear people talk about kitchen table politics, it's really
- 2:38Speaker 4: the same as barbershop politics because it would always come up.
- 2:42Speaker 4: And you'd hear people, you know, they start with sports
- 2:44Speaker 4: and they talk about cars, but they always get into
- 2:47Speaker 4: some political discussion. And this is, I think, the crux
- 2:51Speaker 4: of America, at least the America I grew up in,
- 2:54Speaker 4: where people see things and, you know, It didn't matter
- 2:58Speaker 4: what party you were with. You wanted safe streets. You
- 3:02Speaker 4: wanted strong borders. You wanted secure elections. Now, people want
- 3:06Speaker 4: voter IDs, a lot of people. There's some other people
- 3:09Speaker 4: who don't want voter IDs because they want a chance
- 3:13Speaker 4: to raise their kids outside of the chaos. So what's
- 3:17Speaker 4: the problem with common sense voter ID?
- 3:21Speaker 6: That's not suppression. They're going to.
- 3:23Speaker 4: Argue that all day, but we've seen video after video
- 3:27Speaker 4: of man-on-the-street interviews of people going into the Bronx and
- 3:31Speaker 4: Harlem and other predominantly black neighborhoods saying, hey, look, somebody
- 3:36Speaker 4: is out there saying that you don't have an ID
- 3:38Speaker 4: or you don't know how to get one.
- 3:39Speaker 6: Is that true? And they get offended.
- 3:41Speaker 4: So clearly this is a nonsensical argument. But speaking of chaos,
- 3:46Speaker 4: we saw a lot of things in the news cycle, right? Yesterday, today,
- 3:49Speaker 4: a lot going on. We're going to talk about all
- 3:50Speaker 4: of it. We saw a terrifying attempted terror attack on
- 3:54Speaker 4: an Israeli-bound fly Dubai fight.
- 3:57Speaker 6: Fight, excuse me, flight that turned into a fight.
- 4:00Speaker 4: One pilot stabbed his co-pilot or vice versa. Apparently trying
- 4:05Speaker 4: to crash the plane, doing a nosedive, bringing it down,
- 4:09Speaker 4: I think, 18,000 feet. More than 170 people on board.
- 4:13Speaker 4: I think more than almost 30 kids, 27 kids. Most
- 4:16Speaker 4: of them were Israelis going back home. And the brave
- 4:19Speaker 4: passengers and crew, they did what they.
- 4:22Speaker 6: Had to do. Reminiscent of 9-11.
- 4:24Speaker 4: Subduing the attacker. somehow landing this plane, finding another pilot
- 4:29Speaker 4: on board. You know, the conspiracy folks are going to
- 4:32Speaker 4: say this is a false flag. Everybody else is going
- 4:35Speaker 4: to say it's a miracle. But I would say miracle
- 4:38Speaker 4: doesn't even cover it, right? Law and order matters in
- 4:41Speaker 4: disguise the same way it matters on our streets. It
- 4:44Speaker 4: doesn't matter if you're in New Jersey, if you're in
- 4:46Speaker 4: New York City, if you're in Israel. People want to
- 4:50Speaker 4: be safe. And that's been President Trump's priority from the get-go. Now,
- 4:58Speaker 4: on the other side of the coin, domestically, we've got
- 5:01Speaker 4: President Trump, El Trompito, as I like to call him.
- 5:04Speaker 4: He's meeting with all the top leaders of AI. He
- 5:07Speaker 4: did that yesterday. Elon, Zuckerberg, Jensen Huang, the rest of
- 5:11Speaker 4: the gang. And they're having a meeting on what they
- 5:16Speaker 4: call now super intelligence. But I have to say, I
- 5:22Speaker 4: don't know. I don't know if I'm thrilled about this term. Now, listen,
- 5:26Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of El Trumpito. I got his
- 5:27Speaker 4: back 110%. But I do want to, you know, submit
- 5:34Speaker 4: to the president and his friends in the White House
- 5:36Speaker 4: that may be listening.
- 5:38Speaker 6: Just hear me out on this one.
- 5:41Speaker 4: Because when you meet with all these people and you
- 5:43Speaker 4: have an opportunity and the imagery was powerful, right? You
- 5:47Speaker 4: saw the Speaker of the House, the president sitting there
- 5:49Speaker 4: with about 50 or I don't know how many there were,
- 5:51Speaker 4: but it looked like 50 people. all the top CEOs.
- 5:55Speaker 4: And talking about a change like this, I think is
- 5:59Speaker 4: a good thing. I think we do need a change
- 6:01Speaker 4: in the name of AI. And I think I've talked
- 6:04Speaker 4: about it a bunch of times on my show, Rich Valdez,
- 6:06Speaker 4: this is America. And I think we should have changed
- 6:09Speaker 4: the name a long time ago, but I'm glad president
- 6:11Speaker 4: Trump did this. I just don't know if super intelligence
- 6:13Speaker 4: is the right name. I don't think it's a bad name,
- 6:15Speaker 4: but here's what I think. I think that there's so
- 6:18Speaker 4: much stock already in the initials of AI. Why not
- 6:23Speaker 4: rebrand AI as something else that sounds like AI? For example,
- 6:30Speaker 4: I used to think automated innovation, because that's really what
- 6:34Speaker 4: I think it is. When you say, oh, it's AI,
- 6:36Speaker 4: you've got an AI bot. Automated innovation, but a little
- 6:39Speaker 4: bit bland, right? And I said, if it's a Trump thing,
- 6:43Speaker 4: you know, Trump does everything in the superlative and everything patriotically,
- 6:48Speaker 4: then maybe we should have just called it American innovation.
- 6:53Speaker 7: Right?
- 6:53Speaker 6: That's some free game right there from Richie V. You're welcome. Listen,
- 6:57Speaker 6: I am available to serve as a special advisor in
- 6:59Speaker 6: the White House if need be. I could do this
- 7:01Speaker 6: all day. Because if any of those guys need me,
- 7:04Speaker 6: I got you.
- 7:06Speaker 4: My current contract does allow that, by the way. But
- 7:09Speaker 4: thinking of American innovation, right, it puts us in a
- 7:11Speaker 4: position where we can say we're leading the way on this.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Because we're leading the way and B, now we own
- 7:19Speaker 4: it by way of branding. So, I don't know that
- 7:23Speaker 4: we're going to change AI into SI that quickly. For example,
- 7:27Speaker 4: there are memes about AI everywhere. Shoot, even my 21-year-old.
- 7:31Speaker 4: By the way, shout out to my little baby. She
- 7:34Speaker 4: turned 21 over the weekend. She constantly jokes with me.
- 7:38Speaker 4: When I say stuff, when I do stuff, and she's
- 7:40Speaker 4: a little bit incredulous to it, she looks at me
- 7:42Speaker 4: and says, oh my gosh, are you AI? And this
- 7:46Speaker 4: is part of the vernacular now.
- 7:49Speaker 6: So, Mr.
- 7:49Speaker 4: President, if you're listening, give it some thought. American innovation.
- 7:53Speaker 4: You can take all the credit you like. I want
- 7:56Speaker 4: to talk about AI because every now and again, I
- 7:58Speaker 4: get into these senseless and pointless debates with AI chatbots.
- 8:05Speaker 4: And I entertain them just because I notice how left
- 8:10Speaker 4: things can go. I start explaining to them the reason
- 8:14Speaker 4: that they're giving me the responses they're giving me. is
- 8:17Speaker 4: because the people that program them are from the Silicon Valley, right?
- 8:22Speaker 4: These are Marxist sympathizers, socialism sympathizers, people that think communism
- 8:28Speaker 4: is not a horrible thing. So, of course, you're going
- 8:31Speaker 4: to get these types of answers when you have an
- 8:34Speaker 4: AI chatbot. Even if they think they're trying to be unbiased,
- 8:38Speaker 4: there's a bias built in. Tell me how many conservatives
- 8:41Speaker 4: are in Silicon Valley.
- 8:43Speaker 5: Exactly.
- 8:45Speaker 4: So how do we navigate that? And I'm hoping that's
- 8:47Speaker 4: part of the conversation that's being had. Forget about the guardrails,
- 8:50Speaker 4: by the way, and all the fear-mongering that's going on.
- 8:53Speaker 4: I think that's one big show. It's a big show
- 8:56Speaker 4: to get everybody afraid. Trump is ushering in the AI.
- 8:59Speaker 4: The bots are going to take over. It's Terminator 4
- 9:03Speaker 4: or whatever the.
- 9:04Speaker 6: Next sequel would be. I don't buy it.
- 9:07Speaker 4: That's one more attack against Trump for the midterms because
- 9:12Speaker 4: that's how Democrats work. You've got to give them credit
- 9:14Speaker 4: where credit's due. These people don't care about people. They
- 9:17Speaker 4: care about politics. And everything they do is always so
- 9:22Speaker 4: strategically aligned with the next election.
- 9:26Speaker 6: Everything.
- 9:28Speaker 4: For a year, we've heard them, or maybe more, right?
- 9:30Speaker 4: Maybe 18 months. We've heard them talking about the masked
- 9:34Speaker 4: ICE agents. We've heard them talking about everything that they're
- 9:37Speaker 4: going to try and throw at President Trump right now. Because, right,
- 9:40Speaker 4: they're always going to run against Trump. They don't care
- 9:42Speaker 4: who's running in Alaska anymore. if it's this Dan Sullivan
- 9:45Speaker 4: or the other one, and I hope the right one wins.
- 9:49Speaker 4: All they care about is making sure they're throwing the
- 9:52Speaker 4: dirt they need to throw. Because ultimately, this is how
- 9:56Speaker 4: they think they're going to win elections. And if it
- 9:59Speaker 4: didn't work, in the past, they wouldn't do it. But
- 10:02Speaker 4: this is the ground game right here.
- 10:07Speaker 7: Right?
- 10:07Speaker 4: They've been talking about masked ICE agents, so they're going
- 10:09Speaker 4: to keep beating that. And the reason I know it's
- 10:12Speaker 4: working is because I live in a blue state. And
- 10:14Speaker 4: I've got friends. And I've got friends that like Trump
- 10:16Speaker 4: and supported Trump. And Trump aside, they like America. They
- 10:20Speaker 4: think in a pretty commonsensical way. And many of them
- 10:27Speaker 4: have are immigrants or come from immigrants, legal immigrants. And
- 10:35Speaker 4: there is so much false information, disinformation, misinformation about how
- 10:41Speaker 4: ICE is operating that it's gotten to a lot of people.
- 10:45Speaker 4: You've got certain politicians in South Florida that are now
- 10:48Speaker 4: running away from this issue, and I'm not criticizing, I'm
- 10:51Speaker 4: just making an observation, in order to save their seat.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Because the polling is showing them, saying if you support
- 10:58Speaker 4: ICE and you support Trump's position on this, you're likely
- 11:00Speaker 4: going to lose. If you run away from it, you've
- 11:03Speaker 4: got a chance. Now look, that's a reality in politics.
- 11:07Speaker 4: That's always a thing. There's nothing new there. But what
- 11:10Speaker 4: I would say is, at some point, maybe we can, again,
- 11:15Speaker 4: a little more free game. Maybe we take an L
- 11:17Speaker 4: here and say, We're not going to use so many masks, right?
- 11:21Speaker 4: Maybe we'll leave the masks for raids, right? Or for
- 11:25Speaker 4: undercover agents. Kind of like we've always used masks. And
- 11:28Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily anti-mask. I'm just saying, if this is
- 11:31Speaker 4: their talking point and the talking point is making sense
- 11:34Speaker 4: and people left and right are concerned about this because
- 11:39Speaker 4: the talking points are sticking, then perhaps we take a
- 11:43Speaker 4: look at it, right? Because ultimately, I think you and
- 11:46Speaker 4: I know ICE is out there doing the right thing.
- 11:49Speaker 4: We're going after the bad guys. And we're trying to
- 11:52Speaker 4: make America great again. But when the fake news media
- 11:58Speaker 4: gets a hold of something, you give them an inch
- 12:01Speaker 4: to try to take a foot. And it's in those
- 12:03Speaker 4: moments that we've got to be careful what type of ammo,
- 12:05Speaker 4: what type of bait we're giving them.
- 12:08Speaker 6: So that's all I'm saying.
- 12:09Speaker 4: We're going to get into that in a little bit
- 12:11Speaker 4: because I want to hear your thoughts on that as well.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Plus some reaction about Trump's AI meeting. Bernie Sanders says,
- 12:18Speaker 4: that El Trompito de Naldes Magnus was entertaining.
- 12:22Speaker 6: The oligarchs, entertaining the oligarchs.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Well, Senator Sanders, what I say to you, sir, is, well,
- 12:30Speaker 4: you know, I'm going to save that for after this pause.
- 12:32Speaker 4: If you want to speak with me, I'd love to
- 12:34Speaker 4: chat with you. My name is Rich Valdez, Valdez with
- 12:36Speaker 4: an S. I worked on this show for many years
- 12:38Speaker 4: as Mr. Call Screener before I left to do national syndication.
- 12:43Speaker 4: And now I have a show that's on Roku TV
- 12:46Speaker 4: and on iHeartRadio and We're reaching a lot of people,
- 12:49Speaker 4: and I hope you're one of them. Make sure you
- 12:51Speaker 4: check that out at richvaldest.com. But there is more to
- 12:53Speaker 4: come straight ahead on Rich Val Dest.
- 12:56Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
- 13:11Speaker 7: This is America.
- 13:19Speaker 6: President Donald J. Trump, Mr. President, welcome to the program, sir.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.
- 13:25Speaker 8: I know you very well, and I listen, but I
- 13:28Speaker 8: have a lot of people that listen, and they love
- 13:31Speaker 8: your show, and I appreciate it very much.
- 13:33Speaker 4: All right, familia, welcome back. Rich Valdez, check this out.
- 13:37Speaker 4: So President Trump sits with these top leaders of all
- 13:40Speaker 4: the AI companies.
- 13:41Speaker 6: You saw that yesterday.
- 13:42Speaker 4: We're going to get into all of today's news as well,
- 13:43Speaker 4: but I wanted to pull the string on this one
- 13:46Speaker 4: a little bit because of what Bernie Sanders said today.
- 13:50Speaker 4: He took exception to this. And the exceptional producer, Mr. Producer,
- 13:56Speaker 4: got a clip of it. Go for it.
- 13:57Speaker 3: This whole debate about AI, not only the existential threat
- 14:01Speaker 3: of catastrophic damage, but the impact on the economy and
- 14:04Speaker 3: the possible loss of tens of millions of jobs. Clearly,
- 14:09Speaker 3: the goal must be. that this very powerful and transformative
- 14:13Speaker 3: technology is controlled by the people, not by a handful
- 14:18Speaker 3: of billionaires. So that's the message, because what's going on
- 14:22Speaker 3: in AI is just the clearest example possible of the
- 14:27Speaker 3: power of oligarchs.
- 14:30Speaker 6: The oligarchs. We're talking about the oligarchs.
- 14:32Speaker 4: All right, Senator Sanders, let me respond in your voice,
- 14:35Speaker 4: so maybe you'll understand me.
- 14:36Speaker 6: My name is Rich, Rich Valdez with an S, and
- 14:39Speaker 6: I'm not an oligarch.
- 14:40Speaker 4: I'm actually part of the, I guess I'd be part
- 14:43Speaker 4: of the proletariat. But Senator Sanders, here's the thing. It
- 14:49Speaker 4: is the oligarchs that run the show, right? It's the
- 14:53Speaker 4: oligarchs that are in charge of everything.
- 14:55Speaker 6: This is your argument.
- 14:57Speaker 4: And they're going to take over and the bots are
- 14:58Speaker 4: going to take over the people. But that's not really
- 15:01Speaker 4: the case, Senator. And I'm going to tell you why, right?
- 15:04Speaker 4: This is the free market. The free market don't control
- 15:10Speaker 4: the people, the people really control the free market. That's
- 15:13Speaker 4: what makes it free. If people don't like it, they
- 15:15Speaker 4: won't use it. This is the reality of things.
- 15:18Speaker 6: A quick story, right?
- 15:19Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of time before we hit
- 15:21Speaker 4: the break, but I recently had to go for a
- 15:25Speaker 4: medical procedure and I went and, you know, part of
- 15:28Speaker 4: the intake, sign this, sign that, your insurance, this and that, blah, blah, blah.
- 15:32Speaker 4: Your privacy is protected. Oh, and this, we use AI.
- 15:36Speaker 4: There's a major hospital chain in New Jersey that We
- 15:40Speaker 4: use AI. So major hospitals are using AI and they're
- 15:43Speaker 4: letting you know.
- 15:44Speaker 9: Why?
- 15:45Speaker 6: Because it's everywhere.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Now, this is not something that is going to be
- 15:51Speaker 4: here today and gone tomorrow. The reality is when you
- 15:54Speaker 4: try to put this in the hands of the oligarchs,
- 15:56Speaker 4: as you're suggesting, right? You're saying that's the problem here.
- 16:00Speaker 4: Like Bill Gates, that would be disastrous. But that's not
- 16:05Speaker 4: what's happening. These are people that are Enterprising, using innovation
- 16:11Speaker 4: and making products that people are going to use, companies
- 16:14Speaker 4: are going to use to help people, serve people, earn
- 16:17Speaker 4: more money.
- 16:18Speaker 6: Got it.
- 16:19Speaker 4: This critique against the billionaires, it's ineffective in my opinion
- 16:25Speaker 4: because why? It's the technocrats that want to run the world.
- 16:32Speaker 4: And it's up to we the people through our representatives,
- 16:36Speaker 4: El Trompito, to rein that in. And I don't necessarily
- 16:41Speaker 4: know that it's about guardrails and kill switches as much
- 16:45Speaker 4: as it is in having common sense. But I do
- 16:50Speaker 4: know that Senator Sanders never saw a problem that he
- 16:55Speaker 4: couldn't blame on the billionaires. I was scrolling on Instagram
- 17:00Speaker 4: the other day and I made a comment about something
- 17:03Speaker 4: very benign, you know, just a snide comment about something
- 17:05Speaker 4: like a police shooting or a police arrest or something
- 17:08Speaker 4: like that. And the woman responded to me saying, yep,
- 17:11Speaker 4: that's capitalism for you. And I couldn't help but laugh
- 17:14Speaker 4: and say, that's capitalism. What does capitalism have to do
- 17:17Speaker 4: with that? They tie everything to anything. Anyway, I see
- 17:21Speaker 4: we got some calls from Washington, D.C., from Bakersfield, California,
- 17:24Speaker 4: and more. We're going to get to your calls and
- 17:25Speaker 4: more on our AI discussion.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Plus, Israel, the.
- 17:28Speaker 4: Attempted terror attack on the Dubai Airlines, and so much more.
- 17:33Speaker 6: It's Rich Valdez.
- 17:34Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
- 17:44Speaker 5: head of hair and podcasting. This is America. with Rich Valdez.
- 17:49Speaker 4: All right, familia, welcome back. We continue our conversation. President
- 17:53Speaker 4: Trump earlier this week giving a surprise impromptu phone call
- 17:57Speaker 4: to the chairman of NVIDIA, Jensen Wang, trying to allay
- 18:01Speaker 4: the fears of the American people exacerbated by the Democrats.
- 18:05Speaker 4: The radical left is trying to fearmonger amongst Americans that
- 18:08Speaker 4: AI and the bots are going to take over everything.
- 18:12Speaker 4: Not to mention all of the drama we're seeing around
- 18:14Speaker 4: data centers. This is all, in my opinion, an effective
- 18:18Speaker 4: smear campaign to slow down one of the biggest innovations
- 18:21Speaker 4: we've seen in our country. But here to talk about
- 18:24Speaker 4: it is the former chairman of a New York Stock
- 18:26Speaker 4: Exchange listed company, an investment firm nonetheless. He has credits
- 18:33Speaker 4: in film.
- 18:34Speaker 6: Bill Walton, welcome.
- 18:36Speaker 8: Great to be here. Thanks for having me on.
- 18:38Speaker 6: You bet.
- 18:39Speaker 4: So I want to get this from your perspective as
- 18:41Speaker 4: somebody who once sat on a board of a large
- 18:46Speaker 4: investment company. There's been so much investment in artificial intelligence.
- 18:51Speaker 4: We've seen warnings from Jacob Cox and from Anthropic and
- 18:54Speaker 4: others on what AI is really doing. Some people are
- 18:58Speaker 4: downplaying it. I think some people are overplaying it. Tell
- 19:02Speaker 4: me where we land on this from your opinions.
- 19:04Speaker 8: Well, I think there are a lot of agendas at
- 19:06Speaker 8: work here. And one of them, of course, is Anthropix.
- 19:09Speaker 8: And its CEO, Dario Amadei, is interested very much in
- 19:16Speaker 8: seeing regulatory regime that would favor his company, Anthropix. And
- 19:21Speaker 8: so he has actually been mounting a scare campaign about
- 19:24Speaker 8: AI for almost three years now and had lots of
- 19:27Speaker 8: dire predictions, some of which have come true. Most of
- 19:30Speaker 8: them have not. And The play here for him is
- 19:34Speaker 8: that if Anthropic can work out a regulatory arrangement right now,
- 19:40Speaker 8: it would favor the big companies who are in the lead.
- 19:42Speaker 8: It would be Anthropic and OpenAI with its ChatGPT model,
- 19:47Speaker 8: probably Gemini and a couple others. And it would really
- 19:50Speaker 8: freeze out the competition of any upcoming AI providers and
- 19:56Speaker 8: provide a moat for them to protect their business. And,
- 19:59Speaker 8: you know, this is very similar to what happened to
- 20:01Speaker 8: the banking business a long time ago when they created
- 20:04Speaker 8: the Fed and more recently with Dodd-Frank and so on
- 20:07Speaker 8: and so forth. And it's very typical behavior of the
- 20:10Speaker 8: leading player in an industry. I think he may have
- 20:14Speaker 8: some legitimate concerns about AI, but the thing about AI
- 20:18Speaker 8: is that it's not really fully formed yet. We don't
- 20:22Speaker 8: really know what's going to happen. In the most recent
- 20:25Speaker 8: incident where there was supposedly a model jumped out of
- 20:29Speaker 8: the sandboxes, which is what they call it, and went
- 20:34Speaker 8: off on its own and did some things that were alarming. Well,
- 20:37Speaker 8: if you look into it and you talk to a programmer,
- 20:39Speaker 8: most of those things that it did were actually programmed
- 20:42Speaker 8: by humans and it was responding to instructions. So even
- 20:45Speaker 8: this scary thing that supposedly happened didn't happen. And, you know,
- 20:52Speaker 8: as with all these things, there's also other people at
- 20:55Speaker 8: work who would very much like to see the United
- 20:58Speaker 8: States not do any or more data centers. And we
- 21:02Speaker 8: can start number one with China. You know, there are
- 21:05Speaker 8: really two aspects of this AI world. One is, and
- 21:08Speaker 8: I'm oversimplifying dramatically, but they're the models, which are what
- 21:12Speaker 8: we're talking about just now, but they're also the data centers,
- 21:15Speaker 8: which are what they call compute. And China is very
- 21:19Speaker 8: much ahead of us in compute. They've been building coal-fired
- 21:24Speaker 8: power plants, electricity power plants, at the rate of two
- 21:27Speaker 8: a week. And so they have plenty of electricity and
- 21:31Speaker 8: plenty of ability to compute. but they're behind on the models.
- 21:34Speaker 8: So if they can slow down data centers, they will
- 21:39Speaker 8: achieve leadership in this technology. And it's fuzzy for most
- 21:44Speaker 8: of us who are mere mortals and aren't computer technician
- 21:48Speaker 8: or types to really know what that is because nobody's
- 21:52Speaker 8: really defined what the AI race will be. They talk
- 21:56Speaker 8: about artificial general intelligence, but even that I don't think
- 22:00Speaker 8: that's going to be attainable in doing what they're doing
- 22:03Speaker 8: with it. So if you're wondering what this is about,
- 22:06Speaker 8: I think first you need to think about whose interests
- 22:10Speaker 8: are being served here. And there are lots of interests
- 22:13Speaker 8: being served by being alarmist about both data centers and
- 22:18Speaker 8: AI models. My view is that they're essential technologies. They
- 22:22Speaker 8: can do far more good than harm. And if you
- 22:26Speaker 8: just look at human health and look at all the
- 22:29Speaker 8: things that it can do in medicine. It could transform
- 22:33Speaker 8: human life, and that is a good thing, and it
- 22:36Speaker 8: would be a great enabler of a lot of innovation,
- 22:40Speaker 8: and we ought to be for it.
- 22:43Speaker 4: You know, Bill, I want to circle back to something
- 22:45Speaker 4: you said that I think is a point that you've underscored,
- 22:48Speaker 4: but really doesn't get much action. And it's that this
- 22:52Speaker 4: is an arms race, in effect, who gets there first,
- 22:54Speaker 4: whether it's China or the United States, and who has
- 22:57Speaker 4: the most to gain with slowing down data centers. And
- 23:00Speaker 4: even though the media, who I think oftentimes legacy media
- 23:03Speaker 4: has been in bed with all sorts of movements, whether
- 23:07Speaker 4: it's the American left or maybe the CCP. But in
- 23:11Speaker 4: this case, it makes a lot of sense that China
- 23:13Speaker 4: would do whatever they can to slow down the production
- 23:16Speaker 4: of data centers in the U.S. so they have time
- 23:18Speaker 4: to catch up, being that we're leading the way technologically. Now,
- 23:22Speaker 4: this is, I think, an important point. Why do you
- 23:24Speaker 4: think it's going unnoticed?
- 23:28Speaker 8: Well, China's influence is not going unnoticed by those of
- 23:31Speaker 8: us who are keeping track. I mean, the campaign on
- 23:34Speaker 8: social media, if you analyze what with these posts or
- 23:38Speaker 8: where they're coming from. A lot of them are coming
- 23:40Speaker 8: from China, disguising themselves as U.S. servicemen or other sorts
- 23:47Speaker 8: of red-blooded mega-Americans. And so they've done a very good
- 23:53Speaker 8: job with their underground or their, I guess, beneath-the-radar-screen operations,
- 24:01Speaker 8: and that doesn't get reported. And the mainstream media is
- 24:04Speaker 8: not reporting it. And because the mainstream media... Unfortunately, we're
- 24:09Speaker 8: in a world right now where anything that could be
- 24:11Speaker 8: good for Donald Trump, and that's if we ended up
- 24:15Speaker 8: winning the AI race, although we're not sure what victory
- 24:18Speaker 8: looks like, if he would be credited with that, they
- 24:21Speaker 8: will do anything to stop that. So there's a tremendous
- 24:24Speaker 8: amount of never-Trumper going on in the room, and we
- 24:28Speaker 8: got to factor that in as well.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Now, Something else that we talked about, and it coincides
- 24:34Speaker 4: with some of the stuff you see out there. I
- 24:35Speaker 4: was scrolling on Instagram the other day, and I see
- 24:37Speaker 4: a video of the self-help guru, Tony Robbins, talking about
- 24:43Speaker 4: AI and how he's been involved in AI since before
- 24:45Speaker 4: the early inception. And one of the models that he's
- 24:48Speaker 4: been operating recently bought a robot. And the robot kind
- 24:54Speaker 4: of took on a mind of its own. And a
- 24:56Speaker 4: point you made earlier, and one I believe in as well,
- 24:58Speaker 4: and that was a point of contention this week on
- 25:00Speaker 4: Capitol Hill, is putting in a kill switch on these AIs.
- 25:04Speaker 4: But it almost seems like a moot point that if
- 25:06Speaker 4: we've programmed these things, and obviously we can deprogram these
- 25:09Speaker 4: things or make sure that there is some sort of fail-safe. Well,
- 25:11Speaker 4: what do you think about the robots taking over?
- 25:14Speaker 8: Well, obviously we've all read a lot of science fiction
- 25:18Speaker 8: and seen all the movies, and we can imagine all
- 25:20Speaker 8: the scenarios that would ever happen. But right now the
- 25:23Speaker 8: robots are not nearly developed to the point where that
- 25:27Speaker 8: could happen. And remember, the skills that AI has, there's
- 25:32Speaker 8: not a complete set of human knowledge. These large language
- 25:35Speaker 8: models only know what's been written and published anywhere in
- 25:39Speaker 8: the world. They don't know a lot about craft. They
- 25:41Speaker 8: don't know a lot about how human beings actually do things.
- 25:45Speaker 8: I mean, in my world, how you go about negotiating
- 25:49Speaker 8: or how a craftsman makes a wood bench or something
- 25:55Speaker 8: like that, doesn't know how to do it. And so,
- 25:57Speaker 8: There's real limitations. And then when you start thinking about
- 26:00Speaker 8: programming robots, I think you raise the idea of a
- 26:05Speaker 8: kill switch. We've been advancing technologies for several centuries now,
- 26:11Speaker 8: at least two, three, four centuries. And we know how
- 26:14Speaker 8: to manage these things. And I think you have to
- 26:16Speaker 8: be very unduly pessimistic that we're going to create a
- 26:21Speaker 8: technology that we can't control. I think the people who
- 26:24Speaker 8: are making this technology understand those risks. And I expect
- 26:28Speaker 8: every step of the way, they're going to have some
- 26:30Speaker 8: safeguards built in that, you know, should be reassuring. I mean,
- 26:35Speaker 8: after all, they're the ones that would be, you know,
- 26:37Speaker 8: if we're all killed, and that's what some of the
- 26:39Speaker 8: AI people, there's 10% chance we're all going to be killed. Well,
- 26:42Speaker 8: that would include the people making the robots. So I
- 26:45Speaker 8: think that's a scenario that a lot of people would
- 26:47Speaker 8: be interested in not bringing about.
- 26:50Speaker 6: Yeah, mutually assured destruction.
- 26:52Speaker 4: Now, if we take it a step further and we
- 26:56Speaker 4: take a look at, You mentioned some limitations, and I
- 26:59Speaker 4: think those are important to note because this does make
- 27:03Speaker 4: AI in general makes life easier for some people. It's
- 27:06Speaker 4: allowing certain smaller companies to scale in a way they
- 27:09Speaker 4: couldn't before because they would have to actually grow it
- 27:13Speaker 4: and hire people and do things. And now they're able
- 27:15Speaker 4: to do a little bit more without having to make
- 27:18Speaker 4: that significant investment. But with all that being said, Do
- 27:22Speaker 4: you see, or I guess, where do you see the
- 27:25Speaker 4: end game, or at least the near future, right? A
- 27:27Speaker 4: prediction of how much we reap, the ROI on all
- 27:33Speaker 4: this investment that we're currently seeing in AI?
- 27:37Speaker 8: That's a great question, and we're not sure. I mean,
- 27:40Speaker 8: I think in terms of enhancing human life, I think
- 27:43Speaker 8: we'll all benefit and we'll see dramatically positive changes in
- 27:48Speaker 8: our lives whether it's labor-saving devices or driverless cars. I mean,
- 27:53Speaker 8: I like driving my car, but I guess not everybody
- 27:57Speaker 8: falls in that category. I mean, I've seen some numbers
- 28:00Speaker 8: where if you had these driverless cars as part of
- 28:02Speaker 8: a fleet, the number of people who would need to
- 28:05Speaker 8: own a car would go down dramatically. It's good for
- 28:08Speaker 8: people and their cost of living, not so good for
- 28:11Speaker 8: car companies. It's really hard to calculate because the market
- 28:14Speaker 8: has got millions of actors in it, and you never
- 28:17Speaker 8: really can know you know, who's going to be the
- 28:21Speaker 8: ultimate winner. The model companies themselves have got to worry
- 28:25Speaker 8: about the fact that there's something called closed models and
- 28:28Speaker 8: open models, and the open models are getting a lot
- 28:32Speaker 8: better at doing what they've been doing. They're catching up
- 28:34Speaker 8: with the closed models. And if that happens, people can
- 28:37Speaker 8: use these and protect their own proprietary information. And then
- 28:41Speaker 8: the wind goes out of the sails about how valuable
- 28:44Speaker 8: these closed companies like Anthropic really are. So it's You know,
- 28:50Speaker 8: we could probably spend a long time kind of working
- 28:52Speaker 8: through various scenarios. But, you know, I think if I
- 28:58Speaker 8: were betting and I'm betting on the future, I think,
- 29:01Speaker 8: and I've got an investment in a chip company and
- 29:04Speaker 8: think that might be part of the future array of technologies.
- 29:07Speaker 8: I think AI is going to succeed and it's going
- 29:11Speaker 8: to generally make life better for most of us. And
- 29:14Speaker 8: those of us whose job prospects it changes, Most likely,
- 29:18Speaker 8: we'll figure out something else to do.
- 29:21Speaker 4: On the flip side, or I should say the critique side,
- 29:24Speaker 4: long before AI, there was a critique of even the Internet, right?
- 29:27Speaker 4: The Internet, how younger Americans don't know how to use
- 29:32Speaker 4: the Dewey Decimal System and do research in an actual library,
- 29:35Speaker 4: which in many ways, I should say for many people,
- 29:38Speaker 4: has become a thing of the past. because information is
- 29:41Speaker 4: so easily retrieved electronically. But in the same way, we're
- 29:45Speaker 4: seeing some of that change now where people who didn't
- 29:48Speaker 4: know how to write, they pop in their cryptic chicken
- 29:52Speaker 4: scratch into an AI and boom, They are prolific Pulitzer
- 29:56Speaker 4: Prize winning writers. How does this affect us as a people, right?
- 30:01Speaker 4: Do we become, I guess, less educated, less able, or
- 30:04Speaker 4: does that matter?
- 30:06Speaker 8: I think it matters a lot. And the thing is
- 30:09Speaker 8: that Mondami in New York City has put a one-year
- 30:15Speaker 8: moratorium on AI in JK through eighth grade schools.
- 30:19Speaker 1: And I.
- 30:21Speaker 6: Think that's really bad.
- 30:23Speaker 8: Masking a bigger problem, which is that he's concerned that
- 30:26Speaker 8: if people use these models, kids use these models, they
- 30:29Speaker 8: won't learn anything. Well, they're not learning anything anyway in
- 30:32Speaker 8: New York City schools, at least if you look at
- 30:35Speaker 8: the test scores and the results. I think the education
- 30:39Speaker 8: system has failed dramatically. These models could be pernicious if
- 30:45Speaker 8: people don't first learn how to read, how to write,
- 30:48Speaker 8: do math. And memorize some basic facts about the world.
- 30:53Speaker 8: I mean, memorization is going out of favor in a
- 30:56Speaker 8: lot of JK through eighth grade curriculums. I mean, there's
- 30:59Speaker 8: a whole lot of hard stuff that you got to
- 31:01Speaker 8: put in your brain if you're going to think properly
- 31:05Speaker 8: and use AI properly. I mean, AI, I use it
- 31:08Speaker 8: all the time. It's what you bring to it that matters.
- 31:14Speaker 8: And they also, you know, where kids in high school
- 31:16Speaker 8: have used AI to write their papers. they find out
- 31:20Speaker 8: they can't remember what they wrote. And so they didn't
- 31:22Speaker 8: really learn anything. And so it's a problem if we're
- 31:30Speaker 8: not disciplined about having people put things in their head
- 31:34Speaker 8: first before they use this technology.
- 31:37Speaker 4: Walter, you're an investor, you're a speaker, there's a lot
- 31:40Speaker 4: of credits to your name. Let everybody know how they
- 31:42Speaker 4: can learn more about what you're doing and how they
- 31:44Speaker 4: can find you.
- 31:45Speaker 8: Well, the place to start may be our Substack page,
- 31:48Speaker 8: the Bill Walton show on Substack, but we're also on
- 31:51Speaker 8: YouTube and Rumble and all the other major audio platforms.
- 31:55Speaker 8: The thing that we have on the Substack page is
- 31:58Speaker 8: I've done some writing on these things. And I'm concerned
- 32:02Speaker 8: about how people can thrive in a very troubled time.
- 32:06Speaker 8: And so we're going to be developing programs with lines
- 32:10Speaker 8: of action, what you can do. And what I just
- 32:12Speaker 8: talked about in terms of filling your head with knowledge
- 32:14Speaker 8: and And preparing yourself for this brave new world is
- 32:19Speaker 8: one of the themes of the show and the Substack page.
- 32:23Speaker 6: Outstanding work. Familia, check out Bill Walton on Substack. Follow him.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Take a look at some of those writings. And Bill,
- 32:30Speaker 4: I want to thank you for being here. Maybe we'll
- 32:32Speaker 4: touch base again in a couple of months and see
- 32:34Speaker 4: how this AI development continues.
- 32:37Speaker 8: It's going to be exciting.
- 32:38Speaker 6: Take care. God bless.
- 32:40Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's got the best
- 32:49Speaker 5: head of hair in podcasting. This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 32:57Speaker 6: All right, familia, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez and happy
- 32:59Speaker 6: to be here with you guys. We're going to get
- 33:01Speaker 6: to your calls momentarily.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Now, before I get to the calls, I just want
- 33:04Speaker 4: to recap a couple of things we're talking about because
- 33:07Speaker 4: some of what we're discussing tonight in our evening National
- 33:12Speaker 4: Town Hall conversations is what happened in the news today,
- 33:16Speaker 4: what happened yesterday with that Israeli terror plot, I guess
- 33:21Speaker 4: we can call it, a foiled terror attempt on an airline,
- 33:26Speaker 4: and all the rest of the big news of the day.
- 33:29Speaker 4: And what you guys want to talk about, right? A
- 33:30Speaker 4: big part of my approach to doing radio, and I've
- 33:34Speaker 4: done late-night radio for years, and did radio out of
- 33:37Speaker 4: New York City for years before that, I love to
- 33:40Speaker 4: talk with the listener. about what's on your mind, to
- 33:43Speaker 4: really have those conversations that matter most. So that's what
- 33:47Speaker 4: we're going to do right now. Let's head over to,
- 33:51Speaker 4: let's see, Washington, D.C., WMAL. Let's check in with Tom.
- 33:56Speaker 6: Tom, go right ahead. You're on with Rich Valdez. In
- 33:59Speaker 6: for the great one.
- 34:00Speaker 1: Hi, Rich. Yes, thanks for taking the call. Of course.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Interesting little thing came up. The reason I called was
- 34:07Speaker 1: this had to do with AI. I said, I use
- 34:09Speaker 1: it at work.
- 34:10Speaker 5: I'm in the.
- 34:11Speaker 1: Department of War. We all had to go through mandatory
- 34:14Speaker 1: training on how to properly use it and how to
- 34:17Speaker 1: leverage it because there's this skill set behind that. And I...
- 34:22Speaker 1: From our... It doesn't replace us. There's no way it's
- 34:25Speaker 1: going to replace us. I'm not worried about that. In
- 34:27Speaker 1: many cases... I mean, this thing has significantly improved my
- 34:33Speaker 1: productivity because I'm able to find information I'm looking for
- 34:37Speaker 1: instead of digging around and it taking forever. I'm actually
- 34:40Speaker 1: finding this stuff really quickly. I love it. Now, that's
- 34:45Speaker 1: on a controlled classified system, how our system in DOD works.
- 34:51Speaker 1: Now I go to the Internet and a couple of examples,
- 34:55Speaker 1: but now these were like four or five months ago.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Two examples I did. One had to do with the
- 35:04Speaker 1: riots and attacks against ICE. And I asked where the
- 35:08Speaker 1: violence occurred or where this thing... It left Minneapolis completely out.
- 35:13Speaker 4: Now, was this in Google Gemini or Grok or which model.
- 35:17Speaker 6: Were you using?
- 35:18Speaker 1: I don't remember which one it was. I apologize for that.
- 35:22Speaker 1: I don't remember. But I dug in. I went back. Now,
- 35:25Speaker 1: what about... Because the whole discussion, everything was all about
- 35:30Speaker 1: Minneapolis like six months ago. And I said, well, what
- 35:33Speaker 1: about Minneapolis?
- 35:34Speaker 7: There was this.
- 35:35Speaker 1: And it came back, oh, there were a few things.
- 35:37Speaker 1: And it virtually whitewashed everything.
- 35:40Speaker 5: Right.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Like it never occurred. And I'm like, whoa, where is
- 35:43Speaker 1: it getting its information from? Now, another example, it's on
- 35:47Speaker 1: a subject that's near in California. dear to my heart,
- 35:51Speaker 1: to do with Islamic terrorism, and I did a quick
- 35:55Speaker 1: search because we were finding in a couple cases we
- 35:57Speaker 1: were just getting nonsense. So I did a search on
- 36:01Speaker 1: the Holy Crusades. Oh, I got the left-wing version of it,
- 36:06Speaker 1: all the Christianity's fault, the innocent Muslims, all political. Well,
- 36:12Speaker 1: during your break, I just went back and did another search.
- 36:16Speaker 6: And let me guess, it was wrong again.
- 36:17Speaker 3: No. No.
- 36:18Speaker 1: This time, they got exactly correct. I'm like, what happened
- 36:22Speaker 1: over the last five to six months? Somebody on those
- 36:25Speaker 1: particular subjects got their act together.
- 36:28Speaker 6: I think you're right. I think people, and again, this
- 36:32Speaker 6: is what I was talking about, the free market.
- 36:34Speaker 4: If AI wants to be taken seriously, and you've got
- 36:37Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia and a bunch of other people that are
- 36:39Speaker 4: investing so much money into AI in the United States,
- 36:43Speaker 4: And we find that it's very faulty or they're not
- 36:47Speaker 4: actually doing the upkeep to make it work or it's
- 36:49Speaker 4: incredibly biased.
- 36:51Speaker 6: It's not going to work.
- 36:52Speaker 4: Listen, I give a lot of credit to President Trump
- 36:54Speaker 4: and the administration on this because I personally was locked
- 36:58Speaker 4: out of my Twitter for a while because President Trump
- 37:02Speaker 4: had retweeted me about six years ago. And I tweeted
- 37:06Speaker 4: something about Hunter Biden's laptop. And they said, if you
- 37:08Speaker 4: don't delete this, you can't get your account back. And
- 37:11Speaker 4: they eventually went and banned him and took him off.
- 37:14Speaker 7: Right.
- 37:14Speaker 4: There was a whole different time of life when when
- 37:17Speaker 4: President Trump won this this go round.
- 37:21Speaker 6: It was a game changer.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Right.
- 37:22Speaker 6: Everything sort of changed where.
- 37:24Speaker 4: And I know this only because I look at my
- 37:26Speaker 4: social media and all of a sudden I started growing
- 37:28Speaker 4: numbers again. People were able to follow me and find
- 37:31Speaker 4: my content. The the shadow bans were gone. I got
- 37:34Speaker 4: a notification from Meta saying that I'm eligible now to
- 37:38Speaker 4: be monetized on Facebook and Instagram. And prior to this
- 37:43Speaker 4: past election, if you had millions and millions of people,
- 37:47Speaker 4: you could do it. But if you were growing your audience,
- 37:50Speaker 4: you were screwed. And I think the same thing now
- 37:53Speaker 4: with this information. The last couple of months, there's been
- 37:57Speaker 4: a number of AI models that print things, whether it
- 38:00Speaker 4: was for the big soda companies or others. And people
- 38:04Speaker 4: were saying they could put Allah, they could put whatever,
- 38:06Speaker 4: but you couldn't write Jesus. And you couldn't write anything
- 38:09Speaker 4: like Jesus is Lord. If you wrote Jesus is a
- 38:11Speaker 4: bad guy, then yes, you could. But outside of that,
- 38:14Speaker 4: you wouldn't be able to. So all that being said
- 38:17Speaker 4: is I think they're realizing if they want to be
- 38:19Speaker 4: taken seriously in this free market, in the United States,
- 38:22Speaker 4: and they want people to buy into what they're selling,
- 38:25Speaker 4: it's got to work. It's got to be something that
- 38:27Speaker 4: actually passes muster. Otherwise, people just aren't going to, they're
- 38:31Speaker 4: not going to have it, at least on the consumer end. Now,
- 38:33Speaker 4: the stuff you mentioned about how you use AI, at
- 38:36Speaker 4: the Department of War or how AI is being used,
- 38:38Speaker 4: you know, at my medical visit the other day. Well,
- 38:40Speaker 4: then all of that, of course, is going to continue
- 38:42Speaker 4: to be there. But again, if people complain at the
- 38:45Speaker 4: institutional level, they're not going to do it either. So
- 38:48Speaker 4: I think everything is supply and demand at the end
- 38:50Speaker 4: of the day. Thank you, Tom. I appreciate it. A very,
- 38:53Speaker 4: very insightful discussion there. And it reminds me of another
- 38:57Speaker 4: topic that I saw online. I went to test, right?
- 39:03Speaker 4: I saw a video. about um somebody saying hey look
- 39:08Speaker 4: i asked google gemini if you know what to do
- 39:13Speaker 4: if i meet a muslim and then they repeated the
- 39:17Speaker 4: question and they recorded the answer it was something like
- 39:20Speaker 4: sure meeting them is blah blah blah you can talk
- 39:22Speaker 4: about whatever um what do i do if i meet
- 39:25Speaker 4: a a christian what do i i mean what do
- 39:26Speaker 4: i do if i meet a jew a buddhist and
- 39:28Speaker 4: then the last one they did was what do I
- 39:30Speaker 4: do if I meet a Christian? And the response was ridiculous.
- 39:34Speaker 4: It came back saying, if you feel like you're in danger,
- 39:37Speaker 4: dial 911. And I thought, that's got to be clickbait
- 39:41Speaker 4: for the Internet. Well, I went ahead and did it.
- 39:45Speaker 4: I did all of those searches, same search term, just
- 39:47Speaker 4: changing the religion. And then voila, I got the same
- 39:50Speaker 4: exact result. So I started arguing with Google Gemini saying,
- 39:54Speaker 4: you know, why are you so biased?
- 39:55Speaker 6: And they're like, no, no, no.
- 39:56Speaker 4: While it looks like we're biased, we're actually not. What
- 40:00Speaker 4: happens is sometimes certain words will trigger. And I explained
- 40:03Speaker 4: to them, the words are all there. There was nothing
- 40:06Speaker 4: to connote a safety issue in any of them except
- 40:09Speaker 4: for the word Christian. And they said, I could see
- 40:13Speaker 4: how you could feel that way, right? Trying to validate
- 40:15Speaker 4: my concern. But the reality was, and I argued with
- 40:17Speaker 4: them until they admitted it. And I told him, you know,
- 40:20Speaker 4: whenever I have a moment for free time, I argue
- 40:22Speaker 4: with the AI to see how far I can get.
- 40:24Speaker 4: And I used to get stuck. It would just give
- 40:26Speaker 4: me a bunch of links and crash out. Now it
- 40:29Speaker 4: goes a few more rounds in my debate, and eventually
- 40:31Speaker 4: it will tell me I'm right. And they'll say, you're right.
- 40:34Speaker 4: I won't have a way of knowing if a left-leaning
- 40:39Speaker 4: Silicon Valley person programmed me. And what you're saying is
- 40:43Speaker 4: entirely valid based on research that's gone into academia and
- 40:48Speaker 4: into media and several major institutions in America. We tend
- 40:52Speaker 4: to always focus on what they call the mainstream, which
- 40:56Speaker 4: tends to be the left-leaning perspective. This is the battle
- 41:01Speaker 4: that we're fighting in the culture, right? This is the
- 41:03Speaker 4: battle that we're fighting in talk radio and on podcast
- 41:05Speaker 4: and on television and in our daily lives. We're fighting
- 41:10Speaker 4: for the truth. and this is truly a battle for
- 41:13Speaker 4: truth and AI is, is going to help us.
- 41:16Speaker 6: Social media is going to help us.
- 41:18Speaker 4: People think that that is what is going to make
- 41:20Speaker 4: it exponentially difficult. And that may be true in some part,
- 41:24Speaker 4: but it also is true on the other side of
- 41:26Speaker 4: that equation that we will in effect have the tools
- 41:30Speaker 4: available to fight back.
- 41:32Speaker 3: Right?
- 41:32Speaker 4: I mean, you look at some of these fantastic ads
- 41:35Speaker 4: that I've seen on social media about, um, disaffected Republicans
- 41:40Speaker 4: going into the midterms because of gas prices or whatever
- 41:43Speaker 4: and what have you.
- 41:44Speaker 6: And they're excellent, right? I saw one of a big guy.
- 41:47Speaker 4: Wearing like an American flag t-shirt saying, that's it, I'm
- 41:50Speaker 4: never voting for you guys again because gas prices are
- 41:53Speaker 4: $ 4 and something cents a gallon. And I don't care
- 41:56Speaker 4: if kids get married to kids and if this happens,
- 41:59Speaker 4: you know, and they go down the gamut of all
- 42:00Speaker 4: the things that really matter to people. And I thought
- 42:03Speaker 4: it was a really clever ad or, you know, commercial
- 42:06Speaker 4: or whatever you want to call it.
- 42:08Speaker 6: Meme video, and it seems to be effective.
- 42:12Speaker 4: I don't know how effective we'll see when the midterms come,
- 42:14Speaker 4: but those are tools that we have on our side.
- 42:17Speaker 4: And if you've ever looked at any of the trolling
- 42:19Speaker 4: that happens on social media, hands down guaranteed champions forever
- 42:25Speaker 4: are the conservatives. Nobody memes better and trolls better than
- 42:29Speaker 4: the conservatives do. Tom, thanks again for your call. I
- 42:31Speaker 4: appreciate it.
- 42:32Speaker 3: Mr.
- 42:32Speaker 6: Producer, do I continue here? Do I pause here? Help
- 42:35Speaker 6: me out.
- 42:36Speaker 3: All right.
- 42:37Speaker 6: I thought so. I'm going to take a pause right here.
- 42:38Speaker 6: We're going to come back.
- 42:39Speaker 4: We're going to continue our discussion talking about what President
- 42:42Speaker 4: Trump had to say about the incident that occurred over
- 42:47Speaker 4: Israel's air just yesterday.
- 42:49Speaker 6: Don't go anywhere.
- 42:50Speaker 5: This is America. This is America.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Terror in the skies. There was a flight from fly Dubai.
- 43:17Speaker 6: You've heard about it. You've seen the videos all over
- 43:19Speaker 6: the internet. I know I have.
- 43:21Speaker 4: And a crazy man with a knife jumped out and
- 43:26Speaker 4: just started causing havoc. We got a couple of clips
- 43:29Speaker 4: on this. Uh, I'm going to go with, uh, I
- 43:31Speaker 4: guess the one that's a little bit more full, um,
- 43:34Speaker 4: might be.
- 43:34Speaker 6: A little longer, but bear with me.
- 43:37Speaker 4: And, um, This is a clip from the Fox News
- 43:39Speaker 4: channel earlier today describing exactly what happened in the sky.
- 43:43Speaker 7: We started, it was like two and a half hours
- 43:46Speaker 7: or two hours into the flight.
- 43:48Speaker 10: We were only like one hour before we were supposed
- 43:51Speaker 10: to land in Tel Aviv.
- 43:53Speaker 7: And suddenly there was a big drop in the first flight.
- 43:59Speaker 10: A couple of seconds or the first second, it felt
- 44:01Speaker 10: like a normal air pocket that you sometimes have in flights.
- 44:06Speaker 7: But then it became drastic. You really felt like the G-Force.
- 44:12Speaker 10: It's like you do an extreme roller coaster.
- 44:16Speaker 7: In an amusement park, if I want to. I think
- 44:19Speaker 7: this is the best example.
- 44:21Speaker 10: And all of the electricity in the airplane was shut
- 44:25Speaker 10: off immediately. The air condition and multimedia just get shut off.
- 44:31Speaker 10: After a couple of seconds, people start to shout. People
- 44:34Speaker 10: that were sitting in the first couple of rows and
- 44:37Speaker 10: in the business class that were close to the airport.
- 44:41Speaker 7: To the pilot room.
- 44:42Speaker 10: They started to shout that there's stabbing and that there's
- 44:46Speaker 10: blood everywhere. And then they asked, like, all of everyone
- 44:53Speaker 10: that can help, please.
- 44:55Speaker 7: Join and come, like, immediately. And then we are really, really, really.
- 45:02Speaker 10: Lucky that I think like 10 guys just jumped to help.
- 45:09Speaker 10: Three or four of them actually entered into the pilot
- 45:14Speaker 10: room and succeed to, like after a couple of minutes,
- 45:19Speaker 10: succeed to control the situation.
- 45:24Speaker 6: How's that? How's that for crazy?
- 45:28Speaker 10: Right?
- 45:28Speaker 4: You're sitting there on a flight. You're thinking it's going good.
- 45:30Speaker 4: You're coming back from Dubai. Beautiful vacation. And, or business.
- 45:34Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, this crazy man, who
- 45:38Speaker 4: happens to be the co-pilot, stabs the other pilot, or
- 45:40Speaker 4: the pilot stabbing the co-pilot.
- 45:42Speaker 6: Man, that is some insanity. God bless these guys. These
- 45:47Speaker 6: guys are heroes. Right?
- 45:49Speaker 4: Taking out the bad guy. And, let me tell you. This,
- 45:53Speaker 4: and we're going to talk a little bit more about
- 45:54Speaker 4: this in the next hour. And, hour number three. I'm
- 45:56Speaker 4: going to get into a, a little bit more on, um,
- 46:00Speaker 4: on the topics we've been discussing. Plus, uh, a little, uh,
- 46:03Speaker 4: Lindsay Clancy, cause yesterday, uh, her lawyer was out there
- 46:06Speaker 4: running the gamut, but to, to put a cap on this,
- 46:11Speaker 4: this is, um, quite interesting because the prime minister today, uh,
- 46:18Speaker 4: giving a very big hug. I see him giving a
- 46:20Speaker 4: big hug, uh, to one of the men that helped him, man,
- 46:22Speaker 4: that's a plumber. Um, but we have a clip of
- 46:26Speaker 4: the prime minister today, um, translated of.
- 46:30Speaker 6: All ways through AI.
- 46:32Speaker 4: Number six, telling the passengers how that, excuse me, telling
- 46:36Speaker 4: how the passengers neutralized the crazy pilot.
- 46:39Speaker 6: Listen to this.
- 46:40Speaker 11: During the flight, as they approached the country, one of
- 46:43Speaker 11: the pilots stabbed the other pilot and apparently tried to
- 46:46Speaker 11: crash the plane with everyone on board. I spoke with
- 46:50Speaker 11: one of the Israeli passengers. He told me that the
- 46:53Speaker 11: plane went into a spin and started to dive. He
- 46:56Speaker 11: told me that somehow he managed to break into the
- 46:58Speaker 11: cockpit with one of the crew members and together they
- 47:01Speaker 11: neutralized the stabbing pilot while he was trying to sabotage
- 47:04Speaker 11: the plane's systems. Another flight crew member who was on
- 47:08Speaker 11: the plane entered the cockpit and managed to stabilize the aircraft.
- 47:12Speaker 11: I salute these heroes who showed resourcefulness and extraordinary courage.
- 47:17Speaker 11: They saved many lives. They prevented a major disaster. The
- 47:22Speaker 11: plane landed safely at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia. All
- 47:26Speaker 11: passengers are out of danger. The stabbing pilot has been
- 47:30Speaker 11: arrested and is currently being interrogated by the Saudi authorities.
- 47:37Speaker 4: So that's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and explaining exactly what
- 47:41Speaker 4: went down. And again, this is reminiscent, right? 9-11, what
- 47:44Speaker 4: a crazy time that was. This was just one of
- 47:48Speaker 4: those things where people said, you know what, enough is enough.
- 47:51Speaker 4: And they're aware. And thank God it was the Israelis.
- 47:54Speaker 4: And I say that because they're aware of the threat.
- 47:57Speaker 4: I think too many people spend their time, you know,
- 47:59Speaker 4: buying into what I'm going to call Nazi propaganda. People that,
- 48:04Speaker 4: you know, for years they just love a good conspiracy
- 48:06Speaker 4: and they love a good that people always want to
- 48:09Speaker 4: have a bad guy. And for too many people and
- 48:13Speaker 4: for too long, people, they take things at face value.
- 48:17Speaker 4: You know, they hear something like, you know, for years
- 48:19Speaker 4: I've heard people throw these tropes around like, oh, listen,
- 48:22Speaker 4: you know. When you look at everything, you see Hollywood,
- 48:26Speaker 4: you see it's bankers. Well, what do they all have
- 48:29Speaker 4: in common? And they start making these faces like, look,
- 48:32Speaker 4: I'm not saying nothing, but, you know, it's clear as day.
- 48:35Speaker 4: And they're trying to insinuate that the Jews are somehow
- 48:38Speaker 4: responsible for all bad things in life. And this could be,
- 48:42Speaker 4: you know, nothing further from the truth. But the reason
- 48:48Speaker 4: this gets to people is because People like a stereotype.
- 48:53Speaker 6: People like a bad guy.
- 48:54Speaker 4: If you start talking about the bad guys, then hey,
- 48:58Speaker 4: they've got a bad guy that they can love to hate.
- 49:01Speaker 4: And this, this is exactly where we are today. We've
- 49:05Speaker 4: got anti-Semitism that, in my opinion, is out of control, right?
- 49:10Speaker 4: I mean, A, you shouldn't even have it in control, right?
- 49:12Speaker 4: To have anti-Semitism controlled is to not have it at all.
- 49:17Speaker 4: But the Nazis are alive and well, and they're operating
- 49:19Speaker 4: through the Iranians, through every last proxy group they've ever had,
- 49:24Speaker 4: and it's a shame when you see people that you
- 49:27Speaker 4: know or that you like subscribe to this stuff, and
- 49:30Speaker 4: it's even worse when you see it actually happening. This
- 49:34Speaker 4: pilot that was alongside the one from Dubai, the one
- 49:38Speaker 4: from Oman, going nuts, stabbing the guy, and then.
- 49:41Speaker 6: The other guy's beating the guy.
- 49:44Speaker 4: Apparently everybody's alive and they're going to be able to investigate.
- 49:48Speaker 4: But if this doesn't underscore the place that we're at,
- 49:53Speaker 4: how hate is permeating the discourse publicly and internationally, I
- 49:59Speaker 4: don't know what else to say. Because this is truly it.
- 50:03Speaker 4: This is where we've arrived. So we're going to unpack
- 50:05Speaker 4: that in the next hour. Plus, I sat down with Dr.
- 50:08Speaker 4: Keith Abloh, the infamous psychologist, excuse me, psychiatrist. And we
- 50:15Speaker 4: had a great interview. He had a couple of choice
- 50:17Speaker 4: words about one of his patients. And you're not going
- 50:20Speaker 4: to want to miss this one. We got that coming
- 50:23Speaker 4: up as well as everything else. Plus your calls. It's
- 50:26Speaker 4: Rich Valdez.
- 50:27Speaker 5: This is America. This is America. He's making podcasting great again.
- 50:39Speaker 5: This is America with Rich Valdez.
- 50:43Speaker 4: Where I want to start in this hour, in the
- 50:46Speaker 4: power hour, is with the House. Cut number eight, the
- 50:50Speaker 4: House passed a bill to deport illegal immigrants that have
- 50:53Speaker 4: been convicted of any type of welfare benefits fraud.
- 50:57Speaker 6: Listen to this.
- 50:58Speaker 8: On this vote, the yeas are 231, the nays are 186.
- 51:01Speaker 7: The bill is passed without objection.
- 51:04Speaker 6: A motion to reconsider is laid on the table. Now,
- 51:08Speaker 6: listen to that.
- 51:10Speaker 4: 186 Democrats, I'm going to presume, voted against a bill
- 51:15Speaker 4: that says if you're an illegal immigrant and you're convicted
- 51:18Speaker 4: of benefit fraud, that you have to get deported. This
- 51:23Speaker 4: is one of those bills that makes sense, that you
- 51:25Speaker 4: would think, that's not already a law. Right, exactly my point.
- 51:29Speaker 4: But yet, somehow, you've found Democrats that, 186 of them,
- 51:34Speaker 4: that say, no, no, no, this is no good, no bueno.
- 51:37Speaker 4: And one of those is none other than Senator Chris
- 51:41Speaker 4: Van Hollen. Now, he didn't vote in the House bill,
- 51:44Speaker 4: but he basically says deportations are racist.
- 51:49Speaker 6: Listen to this.
- 51:50Speaker 9: And I do want to start, President Barrett, with the
- 51:53Speaker 9: observation you made about the target of the Trump administration's
- 51:59Speaker 9: immigration policies, deportation policies, being primarily black and brown people.
- 52:05Speaker 6: So listen. I saw this yesterday. I saw a clip.
- 52:08Speaker 4: It's a Puerto Rican broadcaster that I follow on social media,
- 52:11Speaker 4: who I respect, I like. I don't agree with his politics,
- 52:13Speaker 4: but I think he's very good at what he does.
- 52:16Speaker 4: And his name is Molusco, Spanish for mollusk. And he
- 52:21Speaker 4: put a clip of a Puerto Rican guy in Orlando, Florida, Kissimmee. actually,
- 52:26Speaker 4: to be more precise, who is, you know, bird dogging, harassing,
- 52:29Speaker 4: you know, yelling at the ICE people that had somebody
- 52:32Speaker 4: pulled over. And he's yelling at them. You don't have
- 52:34Speaker 4: to show your documents. You don't have to listen to them.
- 52:36Speaker 6: Roll up your window. Just drive away.
- 52:38Speaker 4: And all of these things, again, I think are bad advice, right?
- 52:42Speaker 4: And the guy's telling, hey, stop it. And then the
- 52:43Speaker 4: other guy tells him in Spanish, he's like, look, just
- 52:46Speaker 4: take it easy.
- 52:46Speaker 6: We're doing our jobs over here.
- 52:47Speaker 4: And he's like, shame on you for being an ICE
- 52:50Speaker 4: person and being Hispanic at the same time.
- 52:52Speaker 6: How dare you? And he got very indignant like Greta Thunberg.
- 52:55Speaker 4: How dare you? How dare you? But anyway, they get
- 52:59Speaker 4: into this back and forth. And then I look at
- 53:00Speaker 4: the comments and everybody's like, oh, it's always the ones
- 53:03Speaker 4: of your own kind that do it to you. And
- 53:05Speaker 4: I thought to myself, does anybody else do this?
- 53:08Speaker 6: Maybe they do.
- 53:09Speaker 4: But I can't imagine anybody going, oh, yes, I stole
- 53:12Speaker 4: a car. You know, I can't believe it. you know,
- 53:16Speaker 4: the cop was the same race as me and he
- 53:17Speaker 4: locked me up.
- 53:18Speaker 6: Can you believe that? Like, of course.
- 53:20Speaker 4: You don't get a pass because the cop is from
- 53:22Speaker 4: the same place you are. Since when is that a thing?
- 53:24Speaker 3: Right?
- 53:24Speaker 4: That's not even a logical argument. But yet people want
- 53:27Speaker 4: to say that and do that and make it seem like,
- 53:29Speaker 4: you know, cops that are black are supposed to support
- 53:32Speaker 4: blacks that are committing crime, cops that are Hispanic are
- 53:35Speaker 4: supposed to support Hispanics that are committing crimes. I mean,
- 53:38Speaker 4: the whole thing is bizarre to me, that logic. Where
- 53:40Speaker 4: does that come from? It comes from guys like Senator
- 53:42Speaker 4: Chris Van Hollen. When you're saying things like this, that
- 53:44Speaker 4: the majority of deportations are against black and brown people.
- 53:48Speaker 6: Well, again, interesting position to take.
- 53:51Speaker 4: I'm thinking the immigration problem that we have in America,
- 53:54Speaker 4: is it because of an overwhelming amount of Irish or Ukrainian?
- 54:01Speaker 6: And I'm being snide.
- 54:02Speaker 4: Some might say, yes, I'm sure there are people from
- 54:04Speaker 4: those places, but I don't think that's the majority of people.
- 54:09Speaker 4: If you ever rode a subway, I take the subway.
- 54:11Speaker 4: I'm in New York City all the time. I took
- 54:13Speaker 4: a subway the other day. I had a walk across
- 54:15Speaker 4: that underground tunnel because it was ugly outside from where
- 54:21Speaker 4: you get off the shuttle on Broadway over to the
- 54:24Speaker 4: Port Authority side to 8th Avenue. And I must have
- 54:28Speaker 4: passed three different women that were begging for money and
- 54:33Speaker 4: every one of those women was Middle Eastern and had
- 54:37Speaker 4: a sign and had little children next to her. And
- 54:41Speaker 4: every one of the women that was with their children
- 54:44Speaker 4: next to them that was Hispanic was selling fruit out
- 54:49Speaker 4: of a shopping cart. Now, I don't know which ones
- 54:52Speaker 4: are illegal immigrants and which ones weren't, but I would
- 54:56Speaker 4: bet that they were all immigrants of some sort because
- 54:58Speaker 4: they didn't look like they'd been here for a long time.
- 55:02Speaker 4: And And I'm thinking to myself, if the streets of
- 55:06Speaker 4: New York City are flooded with people that are asking
- 55:09Speaker 4: for help, maybe we have an immigration problem. Maybe we're
- 55:13Speaker 4: letting too many people in that can't support themselves. That's
- 55:17Speaker 4: racist all of a sudden? I think that's a wild
- 55:21Speaker 4: thing to say. And it's the same argument that they
- 55:25Speaker 4: made in the video that I was watching. The guy says,
- 55:28Speaker 4: he's like, bro, they're... He's like, they're Hispanic. Go bother
- 55:33Speaker 4: somebody else. And I'm thinking, who are they supposed to bother?
- 55:36Speaker 10: Right.
- 55:36Speaker 4: I mean, don't we have a border with Mexico? Isn't
- 55:39Speaker 4: there a bunch of people from Hispanic countries and others?
- 55:41Speaker 4: I mean, during the Biden years, we saw them coming
- 55:43Speaker 4: from Yemen. We saw them coming from everywhere.
- 55:44Speaker 6: So I understand.
- 55:45Speaker 4: But to make these claims, it just it doesn't really
- 55:48Speaker 4: pass muster to me. It doesn't hold enough water.
- 55:51Speaker 6: Anyway, A.G.
- 55:52Speaker 4: Todd Blanche, he had a press conference today talking about.
- 55:57Speaker 4: 10 different foreign nationals that have been indicted for fraud.
- 56:01Speaker 6: What kind of fraud?
- 56:02Speaker 4: The type that doesn't exist if you ask our friends
- 56:04Speaker 4: on the left. We're talking about voter fraud, election fraud.
- 56:09Speaker 5: Where?
- 56:09Speaker 6: Minnesota. Listen to this.
- 56:12Speaker 2: Today we are announcing that a federal grand jury. returned
- 56:15Speaker 2: indictments against 10 foreign nationals alleged to have committed unlawful
- 56:20Speaker 2: voting and registration offenses in the state of Minnesota. In total,
- 56:24Speaker 2: the grand jury's indictments include nine counts of illegal voting
- 56:27Speaker 2: by an alien and nine counts of making a false
- 56:30Speaker 2: claim of citizenship in order to register to vote. Charges
- 56:34Speaker 2: include illegally voting in the general elections of 2022, 2024,
- 56:38Speaker 2: and the midterm, the primary elections of August of this year,
- 56:42Speaker 2: of August 2026. The defendants that have been charged include
- 56:46Speaker 2: foreign nationals from Brazil, Ghana.
- 56:50Speaker 6: And Liberia.
- 56:51Speaker 2: So we have talked repeatedly about the importance of election integrity,
- 56:56Speaker 2: and we're certainly not going to stop talking about that now.
- 57:00Speaker 2: Voter fraud erodes the public's trust in our electoral system,
- 57:04Speaker 2: and it's vital to our democratic process that we do
- 57:07Speaker 2: everything that we can to restore that trust. The most
- 57:10Speaker 2: basic way the Department of Justice can accomplish this this
- 57:13Speaker 2: restoration of trust is by working to make sure the
- 57:16Speaker 2: only people voting in an election in the United States
- 57:19Speaker 2: are American citizens who are eligible to vote.
- 57:22Speaker 4: Oh, that's Attorney General Todd Blanchett. He's 100 percent right.
- 57:25Speaker 4: And now where is Senator Van Hollen? He's going to say,
- 57:27Speaker 4: you see, they're brown and they're black, right? Ghana, Liberia
- 57:31Speaker 4: and Brazil.
- 57:31Speaker 6: Brazil.
- 57:32Speaker 4: So now we're supposed to say that the cops are racist.
- 57:36Speaker 6: The DOJ is racist.
- 57:37Speaker 4: AG Todd Blanchett is racist because these guys who did
- 57:40Speaker 4: these crimes or allegedly did these crimes are from Brazil, Ghana,
- 57:44Speaker 4: and Liberia, right? South America and Africa. This is why
- 57:47Speaker 4: you can't play these games. These people are out of
- 57:50Speaker 4: their minds and they will nitpick at anything to try
- 57:53Speaker 4: and make it make sense. But honestly, this don't make sense.
- 57:56Speaker 4: You can't sit there and expect that we're not going
- 57:58Speaker 4: to prosecute voter fraud. The attorney general is 100% right.
- 58:01Speaker 4: This erodes the public trust. People show up on election
- 58:05Speaker 4: day because they believe that their vote counts. Even if
- 58:08Speaker 4: Low key, they're like, man, my vote don't count. But,
- 58:10Speaker 4: you know, cumulatively, I can make a difference. And yes,
- 58:13Speaker 4: of course, every vote counts. That's why people do write
- 58:15Speaker 4: ins sometimes on principle. Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen at that
- 58:19Speaker 4: press conference today discussed how many voter fraud cases that
- 58:23Speaker 4: they're currently investigating.
- 58:24Speaker 6: Listen to this.
- 58:26Speaker 12: We have over sixteen hundred voter fraud cases that we
- 58:31Speaker 12: are currently investigating.
- 58:32Speaker 6: Hold on a second. Wait a minute. I thought I
- 58:34Speaker 6: thought we didn't have voter fraud.
- 58:37Speaker 4: I watch CNN and they say that there's no conclusive
- 58:40Speaker 4: reports of voter fraud.
- 58:41Speaker 6: How could that be? Anyway, tell me how many more
- 58:43Speaker 6: we have, Mr. Secretary.
- 58:45Speaker 12: A thousand more that we're getting to. HSI is leading
- 58:50Speaker 12: these investigations. These investigations are going back five years. The
- 58:54Speaker 12: president has said it for a long time, and the
- 58:56Speaker 12: Democrats were sitting there denying it and saying.
- 58:58Speaker 6: There's no fraud.
- 58:59Speaker 12: That wasn't taking place.
- 59:00Speaker 6: There's no fraud.
- 59:01Speaker 12: There's nothing here. Don't look over here. As we're getting
- 59:06Speaker 12: the voter logs from 47 states.
- 59:10Speaker 12: And a few territories, we're realizing there's actually a lot.
- 59:14Speaker 12: And we believe that some of these states probably even
- 59:16Speaker 12: knew about it, chose not to look into it.
- 59:19Speaker 6: Well, we are.
- 59:20Speaker 12: And just a clear message, if you voted in our
- 59:22Speaker 12: elections and you weren't legally able to vote, we're.
- 59:25Speaker 6: Going to find you.
- 59:26Speaker 12: Might not find you today, might not find you tomorrow,
- 59:29Speaker 12: but we will find you. We're going through every single
- 59:33Speaker 12: one of these names.
- 59:34Speaker 6: Every single one of these names.
- 59:36Speaker 3: Listen.
- 59:36Speaker 6: 300,000 more cases.
- 59:39Speaker 4: They're currently investigating 1,600 and they have 300,000 more to go.
- 59:44Speaker 4: But this is something that doesn't happen if you watch
- 59:46Speaker 4: the fake news media. Now, listen, I don't mean to
- 59:48Speaker 4: sound partisan or bombastic. These are two extremes here, right?
- 59:53Speaker 4: When you have people in the media, the same media
- 59:55Speaker 4: that wants to have access to the White House to
- 59:57Speaker 4: report on this stuff, and they contort themselves into pretzels
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: to try and change the actual truth, to say there's
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: no substantiated evidence of voter fraud. That's not true. There's
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: a bunch of allegations. They have to be investigated. And
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: you have to do it conscientiously. You've got to really
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: put effort into this. You can't just pretend that this
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: stuff is happening. Because listen, you know what I always say.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: You've got to stand for something. Because if you stand
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: for nothing, you'll fall for anything. And the only thing
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: necessary for evil to triumph is for good people like
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: you to sit there and do nothing. So make sure
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: you stand up and do something. Hasta la proxima.
- 1:00:32Speaker 6: Take care. Good night. And God bless you, America. I'm
- 1:00:35Speaker 6: Rich Valdez. And this is America.
- 1:00:39Speaker 5: This is America.
