Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is America with Rich Valdez, powered by politweek dot Com.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Rich Valdes is with us former Christian administration officials.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
You worked with Chris Christie.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Have been Followista on a lot of public service stuff.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Rick Valdez Communist now with the Washington Times.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with the Nation.
Nation with America with your hosts, Rich Valdez.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
What's up, America.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
I am Rich Valdidz Valdesz with ans on all of
the social media. You're liberty loving Latino, amigo, seventeen miles
away from Madison Square Garden, New York City. Blessed to
be on this microphone with all of you. And for me,
it's a beautiful Monday, December eighth, twenty twenty five. Were
doing two hours today, by the way, and I'm feeling
that Island vibe even in this chili big apple weather.

(00:51):
It's like a fresh bean echo out that with a
sight of maludos.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
If you know what I'm talking about, you know you know.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
But first off, I want to jump into the world
of politics, and oh man, this is like a side
of side Dants where everybody's stepping up except the people
that would tripping over their own feet last term. Now
check this out, borders. Our Tom Homan just dropped the
mic saying that the Trump administration has already rescued sixty
two thousand missing migrant kids from some seriously evil situations

(01:18):
like sex trafficking and child labor. I think this is
huge on me, he goes, Now, the real heroes are
these guys that are at work every day saving these lives,
restoring order at the border, doing what has to be done.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
And I think that's a blessing.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
And we're going to get into some of that and
hear Tom Holman's comments as well, but from my perspective,
this is pure victory. And speaking of messes getting cleaned up,
there's a Somali scandal that's been brewing and brewing and
brewing that might tank Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas's career. Now

(01:53):
you would think that him just being himself right and
acting the way he does is what's tanking his career.
But turns out this massive fraud is hitting harder than
a lot of people expected, and with people like il
Han Omar, the congresswoman from Minnesota, calling out how Somalis
are getting victimized under his watch, wof I think this
is going to sting worse than biting into you know,

(02:17):
you name it a Somali pirate sandwich. Anyway, we will
continue ed Trompito and all this. Magnus the forty fifth
and forty seventh president of these United States, el president.
He's stirring the pot internationally too. The US envoys are
now chatting with Greenland officials. Oh are we taking Greenland again?

(02:37):
Amid tensions over his interest in the island. And if
anybody knows how to make a deal that's big, this
is the guy to get it done. He turns you know,
icebergs into opportunity in Greenland. And there's a damning memo
that just surfaced showing how the previous administration ignored warnings
that there's soft on immigration policies would spark chaos. You

(03:00):
know me, I say that it wasn't just soft that immigration, right,
that's putting it mildly. I said that this was the
Biden administration conducting an underground railroad, an illegal slave trade,
the largest largest slave trade we've ever seen in American history,
smuggling humans across the border. That's what Joe El Baboso
ke Mara Edis and Alejandro Majorcas did and they should

(03:22):
be a shade of themselves for doing it.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
But this memo not good, No surprise there.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
But now we're looking at that with the UH Muscle
of America first. Now, Pete Hexseth is laying out a
killer military strategy focused on strengthening America without these endless wars.
And listen, who doesn't love that? So I'm all into
it and I'm looking forward to it. And if you
got to, you know, bring about peace through strength by

(03:52):
blowing up one drug boat at a time.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
No problem.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
By the way, there's a new poll out that shows
that more and more Americans are in agreement with blowing
up these drug boats in order to protect the homeland
and to keep drugs out of our country.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Not too bad.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Now, shifting gears to what's going on globally, because you know, Ukraine, Russia,
that's still a whole thing. They're unleashing some underwater drones
to hit ships and ports. Wow, that's pretty cool. They're
doing that in the Black Sea. Now over in Nigeria,
you've got one hundred school kids that were abducted from

(04:29):
a Catholic school and they got freed after weeks of
being held captive. Praise God for that true miracle in
my opinion. But tragedy did strike in India with a
massive nightclub fire, killing twenty five people, including tourists. You know,
just on a pause there, just to get into that

(04:50):
for a second. This is the second time I heard
about that this year. Right, there was a big party
in Santo Domingo, Relican and the Dominican Republic that that
the roof fell in because there was you know, people
were over capacity and they had too many air conditioning

(05:11):
units on the roof of the nightclub and people were
killed there as well. All I could say is, look,
I haven't heard of this happening in the United States,
and I'm sure it has. But obviously when you go
abroad sometimes they don't have the same ball busting zoning officials,
right and building code inspectors and whatnot. And this is
probably the last time I'll ever say they're busting balls,

(05:32):
because you know, when it comes to engineering, you got
to get it right. Otherwise, tragedies like this happened, and
that's truly heartbreaking. So my thoughts, my prayers their way.
I hope you'll join me and sending some prayers to
their way and closer to home, NYU students are whining
about homeless people and junkies that are getting cleared from
a park despite the crime spike. Now, listen, this is interesting, right,

(05:55):
and a little bit in the second hour tonight, we're
going to be talking with Councilwoman Vicki Palladino from the
New York City Council. But it's so funny how we're
trying to clean things up with the homeless and it's
not not cleaning it up so much. Right, We're talking
about twenty eight degrees, twenty five degrees, twenty four degrees overnight.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
People dying weather like that. Why is it okay?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Why is Zora and Mamdani saying, I don't think we
should be clearing up these homeless encampments, So you think
they should just stay there and freeze forty degrees at
night with some blankets and maybe a huddle and whatever. Maybe,
but twenty four degrees that sounds inhumane to me. Yet
nobody's saying that these guys are evil, that they're lacking

(06:42):
in humanity. Instead, it's a question of, no, we shouldn't
bother those people. They live there, nobody should be allowed
to sleep on the street. And those aren't my own words,
those are the words that may Or Giuliani told me.
He was my colleague back in I guess I was
twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty during the pandemic, prior
to pandemic, and I remember him telling me. You know,

(07:06):
I asked him, I said, why did you know, how
did you do it? And what was the impetus for that?
And that's what he told me. He said, Rich, it's
not okay for people to sleep on the street. From
a moral positioning, it's wrong. And honestly, that was never
a I'd never looked at it that way that, you know,
it's kind of restating the obvious, right. I think we

(07:28):
all think, yeah, that's wrong, but it was never a
matter of public policy, and that was his public policy position.
It's wrong, it's inhumane. It lacks humanity to allow your
fellow man, your neighbor, to sleep on the street when
it's freezing cold. So kudo's to Mayor Giuliani, and a
big thumbs down to Zora Mumdani because he's a pindilm

(07:48):
and he's getting this wrong. This sounds like Netflix drama,
but it's actually real life. Anyway, Let's lighten things up
a little bit with some entertainment and pop culture headlines,
because who doesn't need to laugh every now and again
after all this heavy stuff. I know I do, and
you guys know what I do to get this stuff
out of my head. To brainwash myself. I watch shows
like The Jersey Shore and other dramas, you know, Jersey

(08:12):
shows reality. But there's a drama that I'm watching, a
crime drama called The Family Business with my friend Sean Ringold.
It's on BET but it's streaming on Paramount Plus and
on Amazon Prime. Let me tell you, I enjoy it.
It's a little Hollywood, a little bit, a little bit
racy at times, but the plot is interesting. Ernie Hudson

(08:33):
he's the original Ghostbuster. I mean, this is an amazing cast.
They get along well, they have a good chemistry, I
could say, and it's a really good show. So shout
out to Sean Ringold and The Family Business. And like
I said, entertainment news. Jason Bateman, he was great in Ozark,
by the way, making some rare comments about his sister Justine.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Now I don't know what the Tea is on that.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Maybe we'll get into it a little bit later and
maybe we'll bring in a guest later this week, maybe Friday,
to do some entertainment news. But just wanted to put
that out there, and if I get to it before
the end of the show, I definitely will. And Cardi B.
You remember Cardi B, the rapper from the Bronx. She's
making a boatload of cash and she was the one
that she was like. She supported Bernie Sanders, then she
supported Joe Biden. But she also did a wonderful rant

(09:23):
about how she don't want the government take out her money.
She's talking about taxes. Cardi B is way more conservative
than she thinks. She should take a page from the
Queen Nicki Minaj and really look at things for what
they are and call them what they are. There's no
need to hate on Trump as much as we do.
And I might say we, I mean America, when in

(09:43):
fact these policies they really do benefit the American people.
Let me see anyway, she just got a wild new
neck and back piercing. Man, that's crazy. This is like spicy,
very spicy, spicier than my lead ess on Coocho recipe
and I can't wait to see it. I'm not looking

(10:04):
at an image. I just read the headline for that.
Billy Ray Silas Take two Billy Ray Cyrus. He's clapping
back at a woman claiming she's Miley's mom in a lawsuit.
So little family drama going on there. The Achy Breaky
Heart two point zero. Kate Winslet is blasting the terrifying
plastic surgery epidemic and weight loss drugs like ozempic and others.

(10:27):
Why I don't know, but she says that it's no winnom,
so we're gonna find out what's up with that.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
And let me see.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
There was a couple of other headlines I wanted to
get into here, but these are kind of cheesy, so
I'm gonna skip over those.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Sports.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
You know, I don't do sports wrapping up with the
medical stuff. I don't like to wrap up with medical Actually,
I like to keep that a little first and foremost.
But this is where it is. Let's see medical news
because we have to know what's going on. A paralyzed
woman is suing Moderna, blaming the COVID vaccine for her problems. WHOA,

(11:01):
the jab strikes again. This is pretty serious. Check this out.
Another vaccine story, a victim is speaking out as her
bones are reportedly dying off.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Wow, that's brutal.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Anyway, the FDA.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
And the vaccine advocacy people, pro vaccine people, they're at
it again and they're saying there might be some therapy
for certain rare diseases.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
So we're gonna see what's going on with that.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
As you know, we had a report on that on Friday,
and I don't think there's been too much change for that,
but there have been I talked about this last week too.
There are some rogue botox injections that people are buying
from social media, and people are still being hospitalized for those,
so stay away from those anyway, America, keep it locked
right here. That's what's going on so far. We're going

(11:53):
to continue the conversation straight ahead, lots to get into
some of the heavy stories, some of the lighter stories,
and then in the second an hour of the program,
our conversation with Councilwoman Vicki Palladino.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez, This.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Is America, This is America.

Speaker 6 (12:30):
All of the programs.

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Like America at Night with Rich Valdez, and Donald Trump
as a guest. Who's gonn watch Lady Night TV?

Speaker 7 (12:37):
Come on?

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Who would want to?

Speaker 8 (12:39):
I want to listen to you Rich all the time?

Speaker 5 (12:41):
All right?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I mean, he goes, welcome back. It's Rich Valdesk keeping
you company this Monday. And check this out. President Trump
getting into a sparring match in the press conference today,
going at it with Rachel Marble from I.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
Think she's from ABC News and this is a good one.
Listen to this, President, President.

Speaker 9 (13:15):
You said that you would have no mister President, you
said you would have no problem with releasing the full
video of that strike on September second off the coast
of Venezuela. Secretary Hegstack now says.

Speaker 6 (13:24):
It's you said that. I didn't say that. This is
ABC fake news.

Speaker 9 (13:29):
You said that you would have no problem releasing the
full bit. Okay, Well, Secretary Hegsack.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
Whatever Hegseth wants to do is okay with you. He
now said, it's under review.

Speaker 9 (13:35):
Are you ordering the secretary to release that full video?

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Whatever he decides, it's okay with me.

Speaker 8 (13:41):
So every boat we knock out of the water, every
boat we saved twenty five thousand American lives.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
That was a boat loaded up with drugs. I saw
the video.

Speaker 8 (13:49):
They were trying to turn the boat back to where
it could float, and we didn't want to see that
because that boat was loaded.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Up with drugs, just like everything else. But every boat
we should down.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
And I don't know if you know, we're ninety two
or ninety four percent down in drugs coming in by
the sea, and we're trying to find who with the
six percent because I don't know. People aren't liking to
drive boats right now loaded up with drugs. But every
single put the thing of that, every single boat we
shoot out, on average, we save twenty five thousand American lives.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Do you feel okay about that? Cord? Keep us safe? Look,
I know, I know, my man. What about okay? We're
totally releasing the fool video. Didn't I just tell you
that said it.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
Was obnoxious reporter in the whole place. Let me just
tell you you are an obnoxious, a terrible actually a
terrible reporter. And it's always the same thing with you.
I told you, whatever Pete Hegseth wants to do is.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
Okay with me?

Speaker 5 (14:50):
That is ed trumpito and forgive me. I called it.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
Richard Marble it's Rachel Scott. I got that wrong in
the first iteration here. So now these back and forth
are interesting to me because I love it when Trump
calls out the fake news media, and I do remember
him saying, you know, if they want to release the video,
release the video. I love that Trump gives the Secretary

(15:12):
of the autonomy to do what needs to be done.
And I understand the media is doing their job as well, right,
I get it. She's saying, looked, we want to see
this video. We want to see this video. Now, I
know the strike from the other day. We saw that
video and the guy that was climbing out of the
boat climbing back into the boade, and you know it

(15:33):
was ultimately after they said there was a kill order
and at this and that, which is funny because it's
kind of like saying hush money, right, Obviously, if you're
paying somebody money on a non disclosure agreement, non disclosure
means to be quiet or like you tell the babies, hush,
So hush money just makes it sound so much worse,
just like a kill order. But what do you think
the generals are doing? The admirals, what do you think

(15:55):
they're doing when you have an enemy. You've labeled the
Narco terrorists, Arco terrorists, enemies of America, and you're pointing
battleships at them with missiles and guns and rockets and
all sorts of bombs. What do you think we're to
do tickle them? We're going to kill them? And I
think it's it's sometimes lost on those in the media.

(16:15):
So anyway, kudos to Ed Trompito for doing what he
had to do here. I think this was an important
conversation that had to be had with the media because
oftentimes they get it twisted. That's all I can say
on that one. Now, staying in Washington, there's some other
news here.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
Check this out.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
The United States House of Representatives is facing a mass exodus.
Nearly ten percent are not looking for reelection. Now, excuse me.
My brother and I go back and forth whenever this happens.
I always say, look, this is people that these are
people that have to get elected every two years. Now,

(16:54):
when you're a member of Congress, you increasingly make yourself
more valuable in most situation sUAS well, what do you mean, Rachel,
I'll explain. If you're a member of Congress, depending on
the committees you sit on. You may have security clearance,
You may know more or less about the inner workings
of many different things, from infrastructure to aerospace, to defense,

(17:17):
to healthcare to so many things. Right, and when you
have that knowledge and that experience and the friendships that
you make on Capitol Hill, you become very valuable in
the eyes of companies who say, man, I'd like to
hire this guy when he's done being a congressman. Because
once you pass that whatever amount of time, a year

(17:38):
or whatever it is, that you can't immediately become a lobbyist.
Excuse me, who do you think is the most effective lobbyist?

Speaker 9 (17:46):
Right?

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Of course, former members of Congress makes all the sense
in the world because they have all the relationships, they
have all the knowledge to know how where the bodies
are buried, etc. So it makes a lot of sense.
And this makes members of Congress very very sought after.
For those who don't, they go into the practice of law. Again,

(18:08):
but they have so many areas of expertise, so they
can specialize in certain areas. Or if you have of
counsel to a number of firms, that it pushes the
firms pedigree up a little bit. Saying I've got former
Congressman so and so, and this is why a lot
of people run for Congress and they say, you know,
and I'll go. I'll do my time, and then when
I'm done, my stock goes up. However, it's also true

(18:33):
that they have to raise money to get re elected
every two years. It's not like being the Senator. So
you're constantly, always on the campaign trail. And it's not
for the faint of heart. I can tell you right now.
I've been asked to run for Congress a number of times,
and I think I've said no every single time because
I don't think I would like this job. To me,
it doesn't sound right. I have to not live in

(18:54):
my house, right, So if I'm not going to be home,
guess where I want to be.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
You got it?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Miami or portter Y. I don't want to be in
the swamp in Washington, d C. I mean, it's nice,
it's you know, especially during April and the cherry blossoms
come out, but outside of that, I don't want to
be there. I'll go if I have to go, but
these guys have to go there, then they go back
to their home district. It's endless Dinners it's endless phone calls,

(19:19):
it's endless reading. That reading part I could probably handle,
But I don't like being on the phone that much
unless it's what callers on the radio, right, So I think,
you know, for me, it's not something I would jump
at the opportunity to do, especially not for one hundred
and seventy four thousand dollars a year. Because while that
sounds like a good salary, and it is, I think

(19:40):
you can make a salary like that in other places.
Can you make it as easily? Well, that depends, right,
It depends on how you view that job. If you
view it as something where you're kind of sitting back
and relying on your aids to do all the reading
and all the writing and all the correspondence, and you're
just doing all the politicking, then maybe in some congressmen
may in fact do that. However, I think to be

(20:02):
effective in Congress, you have to be able to have
the relationships to influence the balance of power, right, you
have to politic you have to be able to really
do the job. And in order to do that, you
got to be in the game. You got to be there.
So anyway, these lawmakers are resigning from Congress. According to
Daily Caller, at a record rate, forty members that's ten

(20:24):
percent of Congress roughly are saying no thanks, I'm not
going to run. In twenty twenty six. That means we're
going to have a bunch of new freshmen coming in.
Now more lawmakers are expected to actually call it quits
in the coming weeks. Some members are returning home to
discuss reelection plans over the Christmas holiday. Now, of course,
there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes
here right The most famous I'm not running for reelection

(20:47):
that we just had was Marjorie Taylor Green and we
just did that a couple of days ago on the show.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
So excuse me. So what does this amount to?

Speaker 4 (20:57):
I think what it amounts to is some people are saying, look,
I played chicken with a trumpito and I don't want
to have to deal with a primary challenge from Trump.
Others are saying the exact opposite. They're saying, what, you
know what, I was lockstock and barrel with Trump and
the Republicans, and now the district is turning a little bluer.
I don't think I'm going to have the support if

(21:17):
I run, I might lose I don't want to lose,
I might as well just not run for reelection and
go ahead. And now I don't think that's the case
for many, But I think for most people they're like,
you know what, this is just too hard.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
It's too hard.

Speaker 4 (21:28):
And if they think, you know, even if it's a miscalculation,
if they think that history will repeat itself and that
we will, in fact, because we have a Republican governor president,
that we will get a Democrat legislature in Congress, then
they don't want to be lame ducks.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
They don't want to be in the minority. I get
that too, right.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
So everybody's making their own political calculations here as to
what is going to be. And it's going to open
up the door for a bunch of new people to
run in a midterm. So they're not gonna be running
with Trump. They won't have the coattails of the president.
And I am curious here because one thing they that
they will get if they're solid candidates and they're running

(22:13):
in solid districts, they will get the support of the President.
And I don't know if you guys remember, but when
Trump really wants to go in, he goes in we're
talking about rallies, we're talking about all that. So I think,
especially if he feels like his back is against the wall,
he's gonna need these people. So we're gonna see what
happens and how that plays out. I don't think we're

(22:35):
gonna see a repeat of this year where we didn't
see Trump in New Jersey. We did not see him
at least I didn't see him much in Virginia or
New York City at all, other than you know, some
comments he made on TV. He was kind of hands
off on most of the stuff except for his commentary.
I think if Trumpito decides to get in the race,
he typically fares very well with his endorsements. The endorsements

(22:58):
that are kind of tacit where he's kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm endorsing him. Yeah, go ahead, throw my picture on there.
I think those don't fare as well. So let's see
what happens. But Republicans happen to be leading Democrats in
these retirement announcements. You got twenty three of the forty
being Republicans to seventeen, according to some information that's coming

(23:20):
from the website down Ballot Now. In past elections, the
party control of the White House tends to see retirement
spike in the lead up to midterms. It's not that uncommon,
it's just this many is a little bit uncommon.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Now.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Redistricting decisions in Texas and California and the potential of
redrawing congressional maps in Florida and Virginia could spur some
more retirements in the days and weeks to come. You
got Republican Marjorie Taylor Green from Georgia Mark Green of
Tennessee both saying they'd rather not serve out their full term.
Now you've got good news for Republicans that the majority

(23:57):
of Republican retirements so far are limited to very safe
red seats. So that means that you might have the President,
the White House, or others of influence people in the
GOP and the party establishment saying hey, listen, you're nearing retirement.
You've indicated you may not want to run again. This

(24:19):
is the time to get out because your seat is safe.
We will put the effort, the money and Trumpito, the rallies,
you name it, will do a soft handoff so that
we'll keep this in control and we don't lose, and
will mitigate any laws, so I think that that's likely
the case. For Nebraska Congressman Don Bacon, who was a
vocal critic of Trump, his battleground seat is likely going

(24:44):
to be the only one that's going to flip to
Democrats because he was a critic of Trump. So other
than that, I think the rest of them are pretty safe,
and you will see those type of soft handoffs unless
there's a major primary, then it'll change anyway. A majority
of the Republicans leaving Congress are running for a different office,
including senator, governor, or state attorney general. So it's not

(25:06):
like they're just getting out of politics in general, kind
of like Marjorie Taylor Green. Now let me see others
that are leaving for other office. At least Stephanic who's
going to be running for governor in New York, Nancy
Mace who's also leaving Congress.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
I didn't know that. I'm just reading that right now.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Chip Roy of Texas, who I think is going to
be running as well for a state wide office. You've
got four Texas Republicans, let's see Morgan Littoral, Jody Errington,
Troy Nells, and Michael McCall. They're all calling it quits
in twenty twenty six. They don't want to seek reelection.

(25:48):
Their retirements are all notable since all four members are
relatively young and we're not threatened with serious primary challenges. Right,
You've got Littoral fifty years old, Jody Errington fifty three
years old, Troy Nell's fifty seven years old, and Michael
McCall at sixty three.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
So let's see where they go, right and keep a
trend on that.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
Nels's retirement announcement drew attention due to his immediate endorsement
of his twin brother to succeed him in Congress. The
three term lawmakers a staunch supporter of Trump.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Yeah, sure is. I've had him on before. Good guy,
and this is a interesting thing.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Like I said, the soft handoff. Here he's handing it
off to his twin brother. And listen to the way
he did the endoor. I don't have the audio, but
I got the transcript. I've got this guy. He's a
good looking guy. Looks a lot like me, Nells said Wednesday,
referencing his twin brother, Trevor Nells, who jumped into the

(26:48):
race to succeed him eight days before the filing deadline closed.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
Look at that. That's going to be cool to see
that happen.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
If it happens, right, I don't know if it'll be
a first in history, but the first I remember, at
least in my lifetime, of a twin taking over for
the other twin in Congress. Then on the Democrat side,
you've got let's see here again, I'm getting this information
here from the Daily Caller. You've got excuse me, senior
Democrat lawmakers announcing that they're not going in the reelection direction.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Former House Speaker Pelosi. We knew that.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
One Congresswoman Jan Schakowski from Illinois, she's eighty one years old.
Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey's eighty Wow. I met
her years ago. Nidia of Alaska seventy two. Wow, thank god,
she was like AOC for the last thirty years. Now
she's seventy two. Jerry Nadler seventy eight, also not running

(27:43):
for reelection.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
That's great. These are pretty radical.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
People that again I'm getting excited now, But likely they
will be replaced by the Zoron Mamdani's and aocs of today,
because I don't see Republicans winning these seats in these
very deep blue districts in New York City. Former Pelosi
deputies like Stenny Hoyer of Maryland is eighty six, he's out.

(28:08):
Jim Cliburn of South Carolina. Neither of them have discussed
their reelection plans, but they are eighty six and eighty
five years old, respectively, so all eyes on them again.
Back on the Republican side, some senior members have filed
to run for reelection during the mid term. Got How
Rogers eighty seven years old running as a Republican in Kentucky.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Good for him.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
John Carter eighty four years old running as a Republican
in Texas, God bless him. They're not cutting and running,
let me see. And Trump endorsed the latter Texas Congressman
John Carter, who is a former judge, Saint Judge Carter
has my complete and total endorsement for reelection. He will
never let you down. And Trump posted that on truth
Social on Thursday. So very interesting to see the little

(28:55):
shakeup going on. But like I was saying before, but
my brother, whenever these things happen, when people say we're
not running for reelection, he immediately calls this stepping down, right,
And this is some sort of quanon deep state read
between the lines where I'm supposed to believe that some
of these people are actually going to jail, but they're
going to jail secretly for their crimes. So they say,

(29:15):
I'm not running for reelection. Wink wink, nod nod. Air
quotes Bunny Ers and that that somehow equates to people
going to jail. And I think to myself, Martin Luther
King famously said, justice delayed is justice denied. How about
justice obscured, justice hidden from the eyes of your accusers.
That's not justice at all. Keep it luck right here on,

(29:36):
Rich Valdez.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
This is America, This is America.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
The forty fifth President Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
to speak with Rich Valdez.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Oh, very good.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
The honor is all yours.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
Conservative talk with a dash of sofrito.

Speaker 6 (30:00):
Now here's Rich Valdez.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
All right, I mean he goes, welcome back, and we're
going to continue our conversation plenty to discuss tonight again
in the second hour. We've got counselwoman Vicki Palladino joining
us in just about twenty five or thirty minutes or so,
we'll get into that. Plus we've got a couple of
things I want to jump into because there's been a
bunch of talk over the weekend Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green

(30:26):
doing her sixty minutes sit down interviews. She was widely
criticized for that on the social media. And we will
get into some of those clips. I've got a few
of them that I want to play for you, But
before we do that in a subsequent segment, I want
to talk about right now some of what went down
in the news with Joy Reid. Joy Reid was on
her podcast just before the weekend saying that this nation

(30:47):
was founded by killers and leeches.

Speaker 10 (30:50):
Listen to this, So you know, this nation was founded
by killers who slaughtered ninety percent of the indigenous people,
leeches who glombed off of the indigenous, who taught them
how to survive in the wilderness, and then murdered them
as their things, and then took all their land. And

(31:11):
you want to talk about entitlement, They felt entitled to
own other people and they didn't even want to pay
taxes on it, so they decided to have a whole
war with Britain.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
So anyway, tell us how you really feel a joy
reading now? Listen she's entitled to feel that way. And
I'm sure there's a lot of people listening to that saying,
you know what, she's right, where's the lie in that?
And I think it's not that there's a lie in
that per se.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Right.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
I'm not saying that some of the people who started
this country didn't kill people. I just don't think that
we could call them killers, right. I don't believe that
the people that were fighting for their liberty against the
British crown and working with and against at times the
Indians the Native Americans are leeches. I think this is

(31:57):
an entirely negative view of how the thing went. And
talking about being entitled to own people, This wasn't something
that they started. I think it's well proven that the
slave trade coming out of Africa was started by the Africans.
They were selling their own people. So these people here
on this side were customers. That's not to absolve them

(32:17):
of anything, but I have to say, we're the only
country on the whole planet that fought a war over
to stuff and we won, and we don't have slavery today. Now,
slavery is illegal unless it's sanctioned by Joe A. L.
Baboso Biden right, because he's the one that opened up
the border to allow for the sex slaves and the
child labor and all that stuff to continue happening on

(32:38):
his watch. But in reality it's illegal. And for joy
Read to just take this posture, I think it's just disingenuous, right.
I think people who look at her as an authority
is a person of influence. And I don't know how
many people that is, but I'm sure there are people.
And when they look at her and they hear that,
they go, yeah, yeah, they're shaking their head because now
they're angry. This is how communists work.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
I don't do that.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
I'm never trying that hard to get you to believe
what I'm saying or to agree with me. I tell
you what I think, I tell you why I think it,
and I'll tell you why I disagree with her.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
And this is what I'm doing. You'll never hear her say,
oh you know. Conservative commentator Rich veld Does said on
his show Blah Blah, blah and Blah. He said that this.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Country was started by people that were fighting against the
British crown, fighting for liberty. He said that they were
here working with the Indians at times why we have Thanksgiving.
She would never ever give a plug to me right
to show you what the people on the other side
are saying. She gives you one side of the story,
the side that she wants you to hear. And that's

(33:42):
the grand difference here. This dialogue is open. I'm happy
to talk with her, and I'm happy to play her
audio clips so that you can hear them and I
can give you my reaction to them, because sadly, this
is I think where we go wrong.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
This is where we go wrong as a society.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Where we have no heterodoxy, where we have no point
in counterpoint, where we don't have any actual discussion or dialogue.
And this is bad for the national discourse, it's bad
for the body politic, it's bad in general. And speaking
of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, prior to him, these
guys that in my opinion, had policies that were very

(34:22):
detrimental to the country. One of the former Obama people
who was an official over at the DEA, the Drug
Enforcement Administration, well he was charged just today. It looks
like with agreeing to launder millions of dollars for who
the Mexican drug cartel, which is now known as a

(34:43):
foreign terrorist organization NARCO terrorists. Paul Campbell, who previously served
as a high ranking DEA official in the Obama administration,
is accused along with a friend, of agreeing to launder
millions of dollars for the cartel Hariikon Nueba HENACIONG cja G,
one of Mexico's largest drug cartels. Campo, who served as

(35:05):
the Deputy Chief of Financial Operations at the DEA under Obama,
is accused alongside Robert Sensei in an unsealed fifteen page indictment,
of working to launder twelve million dollars to CJNNG. That's
the cartel which controls huge swats of the drug trade
throughout the United States and is also involved in humans
smuggling at the US Mexico border. Look at that, Ain't

(35:29):
that something? After President Donald Trump was elected in his
first term in twenty sixteen, Campo was among many federal
employees who left their posts. According to federal prosecutors, Campo
and Senci started meeting with a confidential source posing as
a member of CJNG back in twenty twenty four. In
later meetings, prosecutors alleged to Campo and Senci agreed to

(35:52):
launder twelve million dollars of CJNG narcotics. According to the
news release that was put out, laundering seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars by converting cash into cryptocurrency, provided a
payment for approximately two hundred and twenty kilograms of cocaine
on the understanding that the payment would trigger the distribution

(36:13):
and sale of narcotics worth approximately five million dollars, for
which Campo and Senci would directly receive a portion of
the narcotics proceeds as profit, and also receiving a further
commission upon laundering of the balance of the narcotics proceeds. Wow,

(36:33):
sounds like they're throwing the book at these guys now.
The most shocking indictment here alleges that Campo and Sensei
began advising the confidential source on pre procuring drones and
weaponry so that the cartel could carry out its drug
trafficking and human smuggling operations using state of the art
military weapons like AR fifteen. I don't think AR fifteens

(36:56):
are military weapons, but semi autumn refels and M four carbines,
as well as M sixteen rifles, grenade launchers, and rocket
propelled grenades. Well, those definitely are a little bit more
on the military side, but not the air fifteen. In
one conversation, the confidential source told Campo that the Halisco

(37:18):
Cartel put explosives on the drones so they can just
send it over there and boom. In a similar conversation,
the confidential source asked how much explosive material the drones
could carry, to which Senci allegedly responded that the drones
could carry six kilograms, or enough to blow up a
whole fing.

Speaker 5 (37:38):
I don't know what to say. Quote.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
Campbo, who is sixty one years old from Virginia, and Senci,
who is seventy five years old from Florida, are each
charged with one count of conspiring to commit narco terrorism,
one count of conspiring to distribute and possess with intent
to distribute cocaine, one count of conspiring to ed material
support and resources to the cartel, the Halisco Cartel a

(38:05):
designated foreign terrorist organization, and one count of conspiring to
commit money laundering. Both Campbo and Senci face life in
prison if convicted of all charges.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Wow, how's that now?

Speaker 4 (38:21):
I'm just waiting for the second shoe to drop, where
the next headline says one of these guys say, yep,
people in the administration knew exactly what was going on.
I don't know if that's gonna happen or not, but
it would be great if it did, because then we
would know that it wasn't just shameless, idiotic policymaking from

(38:43):
Joe Biden in particular, but more of a willingness kind
of the government working hand in glove with cartels to
facilitate this, which is truly my suspicion, and I think
this is just the beginning, just the tip of the iceberg.
Even if this is the end, the end, all be all,

(39:03):
that this chief of financial operations at the DEA during
the Obama years is now a drug dealer himself, laundering
money for the cartels. Man, this is the type of
stuff that movies are made out of, and that's real life.
So shame on him, and kudos to the men and
women in federal law enforcement that got this thing done. Man,
that's some good news. Anyway, There's some other stuff I

(39:25):
want to get into.

Speaker 5 (39:26):
Tom Homan.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Tom Homan talking about these kids that have been rescued
sixty two thousand kids have been rescued. I think this
is fantastic news. Let me see if I can pull
this up. Can we get to Tom Homan cut all right,
go ahead, play it?

Speaker 11 (39:42):
Half a million children or smuggling in this country or
Joe Biden? They released some done let of sponsors. They
lost track of three hundred thousand. President Trump committed on
day one that we will do everything we can to
find every one of these children. We know many are
in sex trafficking, many are in forced labor, many are
being abused. I look at the numbers every day. On Friday,
I looked at the numbers. There's over sixty two thousand

(40:06):
children found by the Trump administration, children that weren't even
being looked for and Biden administration. President Trump saved over
sixty two thousand children's lives. Some of these children and
sex trafficking, we found them. Some were in forced labor,
some were being mistreated. I can't even discuss some of
the mistreatment we found out about. President Trump again proves

(40:30):
what he's the greatest president in my lifetime. Over sixty
two thousand children rescued by President Trump again, children that
were ignored and weren't being looked for under President Biden.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
This is remarkable news, right, It was just thirteen thousand
the last time I heard a movement on this.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
This is a big deal, and.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
It shows you how important and how serious issues are
with immigration that we have so many kids that have
gone unaccompanied. I don't know if you heard the podcast
at the radio show a couple of months ago when
we did a story about the hotline. It might have
been over the summer where the woman was giving congressional
testimony and she's like, yeah, we had a one hundred

(41:17):
number if the kids, you know, who felt like they
were threatened or anything like that, that they could call.
What turned out it was not only an unmanned number.
It turns out that there was also something like fifty
thousand voice messages and nobody was answering these calls. How
in the world is that responsible? How in the world
is that a thing? But yep, it's actually a thing.
It's a sad thing, but it's a thing. So again,

(41:38):
sixty two thousand migrant kids have been rescued by the
Trump administration. Again, these are serious things, forced labor, sex trafficking,
These are kids like eleven twelve, that type of kid
sometimes younger. Over half a million kids are smuggled into

(41:59):
this country during the Biden administration, is what Tom Holman
said on Fox and Friends yesterday morning, Sunday morning. They
lost track of three hundred thousand kids in the Biden administration,
meaning they came here. They don't know if they were
really with the parents or they came here unaccompanied, and
they were lost. They were told to come back right

(42:20):
and with a court date, and then they got lost
in the shuffle. They don't have a real address, they
don't know where they're staying, they don't know, you know,
how to actually get in touch with this child. I mean,
this is sad when you hear Tom Homan, the Borders
are saying, we know many of them are in sex trafficking,
many of them are in forced labor, many are being abused.

(42:42):
And the only reason I believe this to be true
is because how many times have I heard this stuff
on the on radio, the TV, the news, whatever. And
you hear about a kid that's working in a factory
in some overnight sweep and they get eleven year old,
twelve year old, fourteen year old kids there, usually the
forced labor's boys, because they use the girls for other stuff,

(43:05):
worse stuff, and I bring it up all the time.
But I remember I was doing a radio show story
like that might have been last year. The kid got
his hands stuck in a mechanical chicken separator, so it
separated his hand and they turned the machine off and

(43:25):
his hand was stuck in there, and I think the
whole hand was mutilated. But first thing that went through
my head was why on earth is a miner in anybody,
but mainly a miner working in a chicken plant at
that hour. And obviously I put the two and two
together and I said, oh, this kid's an illegal alien.
He's probably trafficked here, working off his debt to the cartel,

(43:49):
working as a forced labor. Somebody's probably getting a piece
of his wages. And I had a producer do some
searching around because he told me in my ear through
the IFB he said, well, we don't know that they
were in illegal alien. I said, that's a right. I
will speculate that before the end of the show or
before the end of that hour. Boom voila. The kid

(44:14):
was an illegal alien. He was an unaccompanied miner. And
this is who happens. This is what happens to these kids, right,
this is who it happens to, is what I'm trying
to say. Obviously, your kids are at home of sleep
with you. My kids are, you know, one's living away
outside of her college that she graduated from near where
she lives now and where she works now. And my

(44:35):
other kid lives with me, and that's that. So children
that are working in the middle of the night that
are twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, guess what, they're not
here with their parents. They're probably their parents are probably
worried somewhere back home. So anyway, I said all a

(44:56):
lot to say this. Kudos to the Trump administration for
doing what's right right, just doing what's right in the
eyes of humanity, just fixing a problem that needs fixing.
I know there's gonna be critics out there. They're gonna say, listen, Rich,
you're such a softy. You don't understand. They just throw
this stuff out there because they know you guys eat
it up. The QAnon people. You talk about saving the kids,
and people go crazy. Let me tell you something. Anybody

(45:17):
who doesn't go crazy for saving and rescuing children that
have been stolen or being trafficked for sex or forced
labor or anything else. If you don't go crazy over
an issue like that, there's something wrong with you.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Let that sink in. I'm Valdez. I'm coming right back.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
This is America, This is America. He's got the best
head of hair and podcasting. This is America with Rich
Valdeniz all.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
Right, I mean he goes welcome back.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
We continue, of course, checking the comments on the social
media for your thoughts, your calls, your reactions, and everything
that you guys want to share with me. And we're
gonna get into a couple of other stories tonight. As
I met, this's plenty to discuss. I got a whole
thing on the hit Parato over here, not the least
of which was this story here where'd it go? Oh yeah,

(46:09):
we'll stand in immigration for a while, because there was
a lot of immigration news listen to this. When I
started doing the research for this this the number was
this one eight hundred criminal migrants are going to be
released despite deportation holds from ICE. So that's just under
two thousand. By the time we got our hands on

(46:31):
the audio, that number jumped drastically. It's wild to see
exactly what's going on, But there is a lot happening here.
Listen to this Fox News alert from Haley Mcananny.

Speaker 12 (46:42):
This is a Fox News alert. Listen to this shocking development.
Forty seven criminals were released from jails in New York
even though they had active ICE detainers. These released criminals,
which immigration authorities were requesting custody of, included people linked
to at least twenty nine homicides. That's according to the
Department of Homeland Security. What is going on in New York?

Speaker 5 (47:06):
What is going on in New York?

Speaker 4 (47:07):
Well, she brings on Claudia Tenny, congresswoman from New York,
where I've interviewed several times, who's a terrific congresswoman, and
she breaks it down, explaining exactly what's going on. And
guess what, we can't blame this on the madman, Mam Danny,
not yet, Zorn Mombani hasn't even taken office yet, and
this is going on.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Check this out.

Speaker 13 (47:28):
Yeah, this is a sanctuary state, as you know, still
is a sanctuary state run by the Democrats completely even
the governor faces a vetoproof majority in the legislature. And
now we're going to end up having a pro sanctuary
mayor coming in the first of January. But yeah, there
are thousands, almost seven thousand people with these advanced criminal records,
like you know, murder, you said, you said, homicide, rape, extortion,

(47:53):
you name it. Just about every crime, child, sex, crimes
that are led into our state every single year this
last year. And this is all done. Letitia James, our
attorney general, was alerted. She doesn't care. She even goes
after and is trying to prosecute any of the local
governments who want to cooperate with what is called the
two to eighty seven G program. That program allows local

(48:16):
police to coordinate with ICE if we have dangerous criminal
aliens within the confines of a county or a city.
She is interfering with that. She's actually prosecuting my home
sheriff for actually cooperating. And I'm my district in upstate
New York, New York twenty four. My entire northern border
is the Canadian border, and so.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
They're prosecuting the sheriff, right. The sheriff is trying to
do the right thing. And you've got the Attorney General
of the State of New York, Letitia James, conducting lawfair
against the sheriff. In Congressoman and Tenne's district. This is wild,
but she goes on, go ahead, play the tape.

Speaker 13 (48:56):
And we have had almost ninety percent of the people
on the foreign teary watch list under Joe Biden were
coming in across the northern border. So it's a very
dangerous place and a very easy place for safe haven,
especially with a sanctuary state like New York.

Speaker 5 (49:10):
So they used the lawfair over and over and over.
This is what they do.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
It's lawfair, lawfair, and more lawfair, and they do it
to their own if they have to. When it comes
to immigration, they wanted to cover up everything. Henry Quaar,
Democrat from Texas. He says that the Biden doj tried
to entrap him and bribe him. Right, How's that he
recently got pardoned by Trump because they caught him up

(49:36):
in this thing. But during this week's broadcast of The
Fox Sunday Morning with Maria Bartiromo, Congressman Henry Quaar discussed
his presidential pardon and the alleged crimes that were associated
with it. Quaar claimed that the Biden Department of Justice
had set up a sting operation to entrap him.

Speaker 5 (49:54):
How about that? Check this out.

Speaker 7 (50:01):
Tell me specifically, who tried to bribe you? You mean
Biden's DOJ tried to bribe you, Yes, they did.

Speaker 14 (50:09):
You know, we got all the testimony, the three H two's,
this thing operation. They set up a false a false company,
a false account.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
They took out money.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
We saw all this.

Speaker 14 (50:22):
They took out the money and they said this money
was to bribe me. They try to use this money.
They talked to my DC staff. My DC staff told them, no,
there was nothing there. So they actually returned the money
back to the account because they couldn't bribe me. So
the Biden administration they tried to and trap me and

(50:46):
try to bribe me, and that failed. And this is
very significant because one more thing. Everything came in from
the DJ in d C. Everything came from the DOC
office there. The local law that is the one in
Houston never got enough. And from my sources, they did
not get involved because they felt there was not a

(51:08):
case and they said we're not going to get involved.
In Houston office that we're not going to get involved.
It's all the DOJ people in Washington, d C. There's
a lot more. And I have talked to Jim Jordan
and I've asked Jim Jordan, I want to sit down
with y'all because I think you all need to investigate
those prosecutors and you need to investigate their supervisors also.

Speaker 4 (51:31):
So Quaar has consistently denied any wrongdoing, and they only
went after him because he was the first one out
there saying in the South Texas area, Hey, listen, we
got a problem here. This is a problem. We have
to close the border. Yes, the border is wide open. Yes,
the cartails are running rampant around here. So what did
the Biden people do? They set him up. They tried

(51:53):
to frame him, to set him up so he could
go down for a crime that he didn't commit.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
That's called law fair.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
This is the type of criminality that we see going on,
and they probably get the inspiration from the cartels that
are working hand in glove, kind of like puppeting Joe Biden,
because in my opinion, they were totally in control. And
I'm glad that President Trump has now labeled them as
narco terrorist foreign terrorist organization's ftos so that they can
use the military. That's the only way you're going to

(52:21):
stem the tide of what's going on. When you could
see that they had Biden officials that were involved in this.
We just talked about that, right, those two guys, and
are those the only two guys?

Speaker 5 (52:33):
Of course not. It goes well beyond that. This is
the problem. This is how deep it is.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
When people talk about the deep state, that's what they're
talking about. It's not just a bunch of politicians that
are out to get you. It's about people that are
turning a blind eye to crime, and then others that
are putting their hand out while your eyes are closed.
They've got their handout and they're saying, sure, I'll launder
twelve million dollars. Sure I'll go ahead and do this.
Sure I'll lock up this guy, Henry Quaar. Sometimes it's

(52:59):
willing this because of the money that you know is
coming in. It's lucrative for them. Sometimes it's threat, all right,
the cartels get to these people, they get to their families,
they know what buttons to push me. They say, hey,
look you got to do this, and if you don't
do this, we're going to do this. Whatever the case is,
you've got to push back because sadly, this is the

(53:20):
outcome of that.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
This is what happens.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
You start ruining a good congressman again, how good could
he be a Democrat? I'm kidding, but obviously he's trying
to do the right thing here, and they threw him
against the wall and under the bus. I mean, this
is horrible and this is how it works, and if
you don't stop that, you end up with all sorts
of chaos like you have in Honduras. I'll end on

(53:45):
this one. This is a story coming out of bright part.
The defeated socialists from Honduras. Oh, selling the alarm. I mean,
it's just time to wrap up this hour. The defeated
socialists from Honduras are accusing Trump of rigging the election.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
Their election.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
Trump is rigging their election in Honduras because he said
that the call for protests were too serious for them
to deal with and it would annull the results. The
guy's name is ari xy Mankata. I guess that's Rishikada,

(54:28):
the candidate of Hondura's their ruling party, it's called libret
a socialist party. On Sunday called for protests against it's
yet to be defined results and accused President Trump of
allegedly coercing the nation's recent election. Now, I don't know
about you. Trump has said all sorts of things about
people in the American media, about American elections, about all

(54:51):
sorts of things.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
It was rigged, folks. Now they're saying what Trump said. However,
they're doing.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
It with a little twist, a socialist twist, a communist twist, Marxist, Leninist,
Castroite type of twist, because they're blaming America. They're saying, oh,
it was the Americans and their capitalism and their coercion
and their imperialism that is trying to control our election.
Now that may be true in some countries at certain times.

(55:18):
I don't think it's true right now. In Honduras, I
don't think we have an American candidate. Now, we might
have our thumb on the scale a little bit right,
like all good spy agencies do in funding the opposition
party and trying to create conditions in other countries that
are favorable, and that's what they do to us vis
a the the Chinese infiltration of the Democrat Party, and

(55:39):
you've got people in the Democrats, and quite frankly, it's
some Republicans that are out there going, oh, look, we
shouldn't worry about this, We shouldn't be so harsh on China.
We shouldn't cancel TikTok. We shouldn't do this right a
lot of people, and originally they wanted to make sure
that TikTok was untouched. President Trump stepped in and said, look,
the only way this thing continues is if the service

(56:00):
in the United States and we get an American buyer,
and they did. But had it not been for that,
I think we would have lost TikTok a long time ago.
And by the way, I'm still not on TikTok, but
i am on all of the social media at rich
Faldesk with an ask at rich Faldesk. Now, this is
an interesting story. I'm just gonna give you a little
bit more. A quote from the article leave It It
does not recognize the elections held under the interference and

(56:22):
coercion of Donald Trump and the allied oligarchy that attacked
the people with an electoral an electoral coup. That's what
Moncatta said last night in the press conference, reading from
an official party statement in which leave It denounced Trump's
foreign interference. So now Trump is the foreign interference guy
in Honduras, not bouquet Lee, their neighbor, not anybody else.

Speaker 5 (56:44):
Trump.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
This is what they've done in communism, forever, blaming the
American capitalist pigs, the imperialists.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
They don't like us.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
We are the existence of America is their opportunity to
just say there's something bad happening now. For the past week,
Honduras has been under tense electoral uncertainty. After their election
on November thirtieth, The National Electoral Council CNE hasn't finished

(57:13):
counting all the votes yet, it's been eight nine days.
The electoral authority has attributed the delays to technical problems
quote unquote allegedly experienced by the service provider hired for
the vote tally and the transmission platform. That sounds eerily
familiar to what the Democrats and the Biden people were saying. Anyway,

(57:34):
the most recent preliminary results reported by the local outlets
over the weekend indicate, excuse me, indicate. As of Sunday,
conservative politician and Trump backed candidate Nazri as Fura is
winning the race by a razor thin zero point seven
percentage points of a margin against the Liberal Party candidate
and former Vice president Salvador Nasala. You know, for Hondurans,

(57:58):
they have interesting names as Fura and Nosralla doesn't sound
very Honduran to me, But what do I know?

Speaker 5 (58:05):
Now?

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Rich Shechi Mankata, who represented the current Socialist government of
President Scio Mara Castro, remains in third place with less
than twenty percent of the votes, essentially leaving her out
of a path towards victory regardless of whether ASA or
in Nosralla end up winning the election. Either way, she's
out so interesting stuff here, And this is why I

(58:27):
try to give you both sides of the story so
that you see exactly what's going on. Right, I could
see how if you're not paying attention, you might think, oh, man,
this guy is endorsed by Trump, or then Trump is
interfering in the election. I mean, you could say that
to the degree that Trump endorsed the candidate, But do
they really think that Trump did something to their voting

(58:47):
machines or that we hacked their election?

Speaker 5 (58:49):
One way or another?

Speaker 4 (58:49):
Is Hondura's that consequential? Shoot, we're getting socialists elected right
here in the United States. How could we possibly possibly
possibly be worried about socialists getting elected somewhere else?

Speaker 5 (59:04):
Anyway? That alarm means it's time for me to pause.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
I'm coming right back our interview with Councilwoman Vicki Palladino
and so much more.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
Keep it locked right here. I'm Rich Valdez, Amica.

Speaker 3 (59:19):
This is America. He's brown, he's bald, and he's breaking
it down.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Oh he's so has some what's his day? Rich Valdez?

Speaker 3 (59:32):
All right, he goes.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
Welcome back.

Speaker 4 (59:33):
It's Rich Valdez and I want you to listen to
this clip of audio I want to play for our guest.
Council member Vicki Palladino is joining us and council member.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
Listen to this clip of audio.

Speaker 4 (59:43):
It is from Fox five News Antoine Lewis and the
anchor team reporting on this car fire.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Right.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
It was a meetup of cars, things went crazy. The
guy was beaten very badly, and well they explain it,
but it's just crazy to this is happening in your
neck of the woods. When I first saw this, I
thought there's no way this could be happening in Vicki's district,
and then I saw it actually was in your district.

Speaker 5 (01:00:09):
So I know that you're not going to allow that
to happen. Now, I want you to listen to this.
Check this out.

Speaker 7 (01:00:14):
An illegal car meet up in Queens turning violent, with
a suspect now facing charges for allegedly attacking a homeowner
and his wife.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Ry Foxfis Antwo Lewis joins us now in studio The
Closer look at how things got so out of hand Antoon.

Speaker 15 (01:00:25):
Seven, Teresa Official Cities meetups have been plaguing in this
particular neighborhood in Queens for at least four years. They
are baits for social media posts, and this one escalated
from chaos to violence and city leaders are now cracking down.
Take a look at the cell phone video capturing this
violent car meet up in Marble, Queens last month. Officials
say that about fifty cars were involved in drag racing,

(01:00:45):
doughnut spins, setting off fireworks and at some point, as
you can see right there the carb resident a security
guard was actually set on fire. Things further escalated when
a couple was attacked after confronting several members of the
group that had gathered on their lawn as the shenanigans
played out. That couple received very serious injuries as you
can see right there. We spoke with the husband shortly
after this happened, and today Queen's District Attorney Melinda cas

(01:01:08):
announcing the arrest of at least one in connection with
this attack on that husband and wife, and Kat says
that they are looking for the others.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Now. I know, council Member Palladino, that you spoke with
Police Commissioner Jessica Tish, And my question to you is
did she give you any indication that she's going to
be sticking on with Zora Mumbani long term? I know
she's indicated that she is going to stay around. Talk
to us what's going on? Did your conversation get that deep?

(01:01:37):
Council Member Vicki Palladino, are you encouraged in your conversation
with Police Commissioner Tish that she's willing to stay on
with Zoron Mumdani?

Speaker 7 (01:01:45):
And it is encouraging that she is going to stay.
But the question is this, how long is she going
to stay? How long with the team that he put
together right now? The transitional team is a disgrace. Anybody
any other names you wear of any of them? Okay?

(01:02:06):
The top guy Alex Patali. He authored the book The
End of Policing.

Speaker 16 (01:02:12):
I Okay.

Speaker 17 (01:02:16):
Boy.

Speaker 7 (01:02:18):
Next guy up is Lombamba Bendell his activism is controversial.
He's organized campaign for free the Black Liberation Army members,
some of them have been convicted of murdering police officers.
The next one is just as bad. And the list
goes on and on, and he's got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

(01:02:48):
eight people heading up his public Safety Transition team. And
the top three are the absolute worst of the worst.
So how long is just going to be able to stay?
That remains to be seen. We got to wait this out.
I mean, the writing's on the wall. We know what's coming.
He made it clear before you know, you know, when

(01:03:10):
he stood at that podium when he took his victory,
he gave his victory speech, declared war on Trump, declared
war on just about everybody that stands against the DSA.
So we got to wait and see how this is
going to go. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:03:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
Now you spoke of Queen's District Attorney Melinda Katz. She's
been pretty aggressive on fighting crime. I have a clip
of her talking about the arrest in this illegal meetup,
and I want to get your reaction.

Speaker 18 (01:03:36):
Listen to yes, whether we catch the others or not,
this individual, this defendant, still is being prosecuted for gang assault,
for the assault that happened, and for the injuries. The
massive injury is the serious physical injury that these victims
that occurred in these victims. This husband, mister Ferrara, has
a broken rib, structured ribs, fractured shoulder, the thyroid was fractured.

Speaker 15 (01:04:00):
Authorities took nineteen year old Justin Aguilera of Far Rockaway,
Queens into custody Thursday night. They say he took part
in the attack on the couple on their lawn. In
addition to two Council of Gangle salt, he is also
charged with felony.

Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Assault, riot and trespass.

Speaker 15 (01:04:14):
New York City Council Member Vicki Palladino helped draw attention
to the incident, and today she went back to that
intersection where it happened with members of the NYPD and
other city agencies. She's calling for speed bumps to be
put in place to deter any future violence. The couple
that was attacked is expected to survive their injuries. The suspect,
Justin Aguilera, is facing twenty five years in prison if convicted.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
So that's Antoine Lewis from Fox five News, and you
heard from Melinda Katz saying that they're going to prosecute
this as a felony. We heard from you talking about
speed bumps. How is this all fitting together now, Council
Member Palladina, She is going.

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
To do everything that she had to make sure that
the others are the two others that they got their
eye on, are brought in. They're not stopping. They're going
to just keep going. And that's a very good thing.
And as far as I go with trying to get
what I've been trying to get in Malba and in
other parts of my district through DOT, it was a

(01:05:09):
simple solution back in the day two years ago, three
years ago, when I first went to DOT with problems
of speed bumps and certain areas that could be actually
blocked off that people cannot come into this enclave known
as malbur and I had them boots on the ground
on Friday a few days ago, and I'm expecting to

(01:05:32):
hear back from DOT late this week with some sort
of plan for where we could strategically place speed bumps,
but not just that in the center of this circle,
as throughout Malba. You have to know the area to
know what I'm really to kind of visualize what I'm saying,
an above ground circle whereas they plant flowers, they plant

(01:05:56):
a tree and something could be done so that that's
because that's the only real circle left in Malba. The
other ones. It's an old, old neighborhood. You're going back
fifty sixty, seventy years. They've already had these gardens in
the middle of these intercessions where the four corners meet,
and I'm looking to get that done as well. I

(01:06:17):
haven't stopped. I will not stop. Everybody knows how I am.
And DOT showed up because I called them on Monday morning,
the twenty fourth. I told them, you put me off
for four years, four years, the last three, the last two.
I will not tolerate this any longer. And they were

(01:06:38):
there on Friday. Now they've been there with me in
the past. But they said that the area doesn't warrant feedbumps,
so it doesn't warrant a traffic light, or it doesn't
warrant anything. I put before them, baloney, Yes it does,
and yes it did. It took a catastrophe like what
we saw happen. It looked like Bay Route happen on

(01:07:00):
that Sunday night, early Sunday morning, I should say, Saturday night.
That made them move a little quicker. How quick are
they going to move now? And what are they going
to show me at the end of this week has
yet to be seen. But we're not done. The only
problem we've got right now that I could see is
that we have an administration changing, which means who's ever

(01:07:22):
in charge?

Speaker 14 (01:07:23):
Now?

Speaker 7 (01:07:23):
Are commissioners? Are they still going to be around in January?
We've got some serious things happening. There's so many wheels
turning because we're going through a transition. You know, if
this was Adams staying on, I know it was going
to be handled properly because it would be a continuation
of what I've been working with for four years. But

(01:07:47):
since we're going through this transition and we've got somebody
so left of law and order, he doesn't believe in
any of this stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
For how we're going to do, I don't know, folks
wrong with the Counselwoman Vicki Palladino joining us and councilwoman
you mentioned Mayor Mamdani or mayor elect, I should say,
And he's coming in and there's a lot of apprehension
about what that administration is going to look like. But
there is a a clip that he put out regarding

(01:08:16):
how to avoid ice and ice capture. Oh yeah, that's
coming into questions. So we're gonna play that straight ahead. Amigos,
We're coming right back. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Valdez.

Speaker 3 (01:08:25):
This is America. This is America.

Speaker 14 (01:08:36):
In glace or primal norodos Bara, Rich Valdez, e s
nos America.

Speaker 4 (01:08:43):
Awara, All right, amigos, welcome back. It's Rich Valdez. And
like I mentioned, Zori Mumdani's coming under fire for telling
people to avoid capture from ice. Our guest is Councilwoman
Vicki Paladine and council Member Palladino. I have this audio

(01:09:03):
clip of good old Mayor elect Mamdani calling for people
to avoid ice capture.

Speaker 5 (01:09:10):
I'm going to play it for you. Check this out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:13):
Last weekend, ice attempted to raid Canal Street and detain
our import. As mayor, I'll protect the rights of every
single New Yorker and that includes the more than three
million immigrants who call this city in their home.

Speaker 6 (01:09:24):
But we can all stand up to ice.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
If you know your rights, if you encounter ice, these
are the things that every New Yorker should know.

Speaker 6 (01:09:31):
First.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
ICE cannot enter into private spaces like your home, school,
or private area of your workplace without a judicial warrant
signed by a judge.

Speaker 6 (01:09:39):
That looks like this.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
If ICE does not have a judicial warrant signed by
a judge, you have the right to say I do
not consent to entry, and the right to keep your
door closed. Sometimes ICE will show you paperwork that looks
like this and tell you that they have the right
to arrest.

Speaker 6 (01:09:58):
That is false.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
ICE is legally allowed to lie to you, but you
have the right to remain silent. If you're being detained,
you may always ask am I free to go repeatedly
until I answer you. You are legally allowed to film
ICE as long as you do not interfere with an arrest.
It is important to remain calm during any interaction with ICE. Formarms,
do not impede their investigation. Resist arrest to world one
last thing. New York has had a constitutional right to this.

(01:10:22):
When I'm there, we will protect that right. New York
will always.

Speaker 3 (01:10:26):
Welcome tools, and I will fight each and every day.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
To protect, support and celebrates use.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
Okay, people have obviously seen that he's out there telling
people just like AOC has done in the past.

Speaker 7 (01:10:39):
He took out a whiteboard. He look out a whiteboard,
and he proceeded to be the professor, okay, telling people,
educating people on how to avoid ice. Now, what do
you make of that? First of all, to disgrace he's
giving people teaching people's civil disobedience. He is he is
absolutely starting a fire that Trump is going to have

(01:11:02):
to come in and put out. So you know that
very nice so called press conference that he did with
Zo ran Trump. Believe me, I don't believe for one
second that they're pals. I don't believe for one second
that all of this really went over as well as
Trump played his card smart. What Trump did was Trump

(01:11:25):
played three dimensional chess with this kid. And in my opinion,
it's only my opinion. I do not could be dead wrong,
but I don't think so. What he did was he
gave this kid the pat on the back and he said,
go ahead, dig your grave. Let's see how far you're
going to dig before I have to come in and
do my job. He gave the kid the benefit of
the doubt, but I believe behind closed doors he told

(01:11:49):
him exactly what was going to be and if he
wants to play his games, Zoe Ran, he better be
prepared for what's going to happen.

Speaker 17 (01:11:59):
Now.

Speaker 7 (01:11:59):
A lot of people need to understand something here. You've
got a city council that I sit on right. This
city council is made up of fifty one members. Eighteen
of those members until this past election were part of
the Progressive caucus. That's one third. Since this election in November,

(01:12:20):
they gained four more progressives, so now it will be
twenty two Progressives in a fifty one body. So anything
Zoe Wran wants to do, he's going to get full
support from from our body, you know, the city council.
I believe that he will come in here trump if

(01:12:44):
need be, and he will do what needs to be done.
I don't know this. This is Zo Wran as braving
as he was on election night, standing at that podium,
equally as daring as he will just recently on the
video that he just did teaching people how to avoid ice,

(01:13:06):
how to work in other words, with these forms, to
fill out forms the right way. Think about what he's doing.
I mean this, but this is who the guy is.
And for anybody to think any differently, you're being foolish,
but he is. How the vote went. The vote went
from Mandani from thirty years old to eighteen years old

(01:13:31):
the majority. And when you look closely at those numbers,
and we did, those young people have only lived in
the city of New York three years, five years, the
most was seven years. So they're not even real New Yorkers.
These are kids who are going to school, and he
made sure that he got them all registered to vote,

(01:13:54):
and they did. Now you got the DSAY coming in
here full steam. You got Blasio's people sitting on his
transition team, sitting in his cabinet, and this is not
gonna farewell at all. This is not gonna go well
for us at all. We've got some serious problems and
I really think that he will face the consequences or

(01:14:20):
worse yet, the good people of the City of New
York will have to face the consequences because of this, Mayor.
I don't think Trump is kidding around. I think he's
gonna do what needs to be done. He's testing, He's
putting him in a test, and he's testing this kid,
and we're gonna see which way he's gonna go. Don't

(01:14:40):
test Trump, don't test Trump, You're gonna lose, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:14:43):
Vicky's gonna lose. I agree.

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
I think you hit the nail on the head when
you said that he was giving him the benefit of
the doubt. And I think a lot of that was
I don't know if you recall President Trump inviting Speaker
Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer to the Oval Office for
a meeting earlier his first administration, and they blew up
and they didn't want to play ball, and he just said, well,

(01:15:06):
that's what we got right. I think he extended the
olive branch and he wanted to get it on camera
to say, hey, look I did it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
I did my job. I showed up.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
I was polite, I was you know, fair, open, well amicable,
and now it's for you guys to mess up.

Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
And I think that's what's going to happen.

Speaker 18 (01:15:22):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:15:23):
I'll tell you in my position as a council member,
I want to meet with Zoe Rammondani. Now he knows
Dickie Paladino because he reads my tweets, He follows me,
his people follow me on social media. As a matter
of fact, I lo me not leave this out, Alex.

(01:15:43):
The tally that I just told you about who wrote
the book end up Policing. Yes, he already blocked me
on Twitter, so he can't he doesn't read. He blocked me.
So this is what we have coming in to this administration.
You're going to block an elected official from social media
because of what I have to say? Well, isn't that

(01:16:05):
just too bad?

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
Queens? Why would anybody block you?

Speaker 7 (01:16:13):
Maybe because I'm onto everybody everything that he's going to do,
I mean, even his cleaning up of the he doesn't
want to clean up the homeless. Of all his horrible ideas,
this this idea is going to be probably the worst
idea that he's had yet, because it's going to be
the one that we're going to be able to see
and touch immediately. For him to leave people out on

(01:16:37):
the street like this in this freezing weather that we're
having right now, and not wanting to clean up homeless encampments,
think about what this guy is doing. Yeah, it's insane.
It doesn't make an ounce of sense. So he's gonna
he's gonna fall on his face. Give him three to
six months. This isn't gonna pan out well, not at all,

(01:16:59):
not at all. But he does have the support of
the council in most cases. And we're gonna see how
far everybody wants to go with this before anybody, uh,
before anybody does anything about it. My biggest concern, you know,
because he talks about the affordability crisis, he talks about
the homeless crisis. He talks about he talks about the uh,

(01:17:22):
you know, the affordability. As far as housing goes, I
got new cz oh Rand. Nobody's gonna want to live here,
But you won't have to worry about housing because people
are gonna pick up and move. They're not gonna stay.
The day after he won is primary. I cannot tell
you how many for sale size went up. I cannot

(01:17:43):
tell you how many people that you know, major players
in Wall Street searching for other places to do business.
They don't need to do business in New York. They
can go elsewhere. So what are you doing? This is
communism two positive communism. You're going to have the rich

(01:18:03):
and you're going to have the poor. The poor then's
going to feed off of the government dollar and that's it.
The middle class, the bottom is going to drop out.
Then there's also eminent domaine, eminent domain.

Speaker 4 (01:18:19):
This is going to want you mean taking taking properties
that become abandoned because people can't rent them.

Speaker 7 (01:18:24):
And not even abandoned. He's going to work on it
before they even become abandoned, become abandoned.

Speaker 5 (01:18:30):
With freezing rents, it's.

Speaker 7 (01:18:33):
Almost impossible for people to afford. In New York, we
passed something in twenty nineteen called Local War ninety seven.
Local War ninety seven is detrimental to any co operal
condo owner. And anybody who bought a co operal condo
knows that's the most affordable housing in our middle class areas,

(01:18:55):
where you could live in a beautiful two bedroom garden apartment,
three bedroom garden of apartment for relatively three hundred thousand
dollars and you have your maintenance fees. But because of
the green new bill that they passed here called Local
Lord ninety seven, doing away with gas and raising the
rates of electricity, they've already got hit with their first wave.

(01:19:18):
It was passed in twenty nineteen. It did not go
into effect until January of twenty three, I believe it
is twenty three or twenty four, and they got hit.
And I went out on a trailblazing effort and we
we all came together against Local Lord ninety seven. Not
the council members, mind you, the people, the civic associations,

(01:19:41):
the community boards, the people who have a right to
their voice being heard. And they all voted against it.
Two community boards voted in favor of it, out of
all of them in the City of New York. And
yet there it is. It happened. It's an effect. They
some co opts just got hit with a three hundred

(01:20:04):
dollars a month increase in their maintenance. Now, when you
talk about a senior citizen who's living on a fixed
income and their and their mortgages paid off because they
bought their condo twenty five years ago, their maintenance is
eleven hundred dollars. Now their maintenance is fifteen sixteen, seventeen
hundred dollars a month. They're living on a fixed income.

(01:20:27):
How are they going to do it? But what happens
is the co ops and the condos have to take
a loan to be able to upgrade. And it's a
constant upgrade. It's upgrade. It's waves of upgrades that happened
every year to three years. So now seventeen hundred and

(01:20:48):
fifteen hundred is going to go to two thousands. So
if you're an older couple and you're only bringing in
twenty two hundred between social Security each and you're pension,
maybe you're bringing in twenty five d how are you
gonna do this? You're screwed. Now you get a young
couple they decided to buy a co op or a condo.

(01:21:11):
It cost them three point fifty. Like I said, it's
the most affordable form of housing. And now you got that,
you got your mortgage, and now you have your maintenance
which you purchased or your maintenance was only one thousand
dollars a months in addition to your mortgage, which now
probably brings you up somewhere around twenty two hundred a month.
Tack on that three hundred dollars wave that you just

(01:21:33):
got hit with, and now you're playing with twenty five
to twenty eight hundred. How are you going to do this?
So the co op board they have to take a
loan to upgrade, and now your apartment's got a lean
on it. How are you going to sell your apartment
with a lean against it?

Speaker 14 (01:21:53):
You're not.

Speaker 7 (01:21:55):
So what happens the city takes it over.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
And this is what we saw in Castro's Cuba where
they started seizing proby.

Speaker 7 (01:22:04):
Exactly what somebody else told me. Castro's Cuba. This is
exactly what somebody else told me. And you know what,
when I speak to people all the time who have
come from Cuba, who have come from Russia, who have
come from Poland, they have told me, Vickie, what is wrong?

(01:22:24):
What are they doing? Don't they under? And they live
here in New York and they work hard and just
to make ends meet. And we left where we came
from for here. Now I can tell you I know
two young couples from Poland. They're only in there. Well,
she's fifty, her husbands in the mid fifties. They came

(01:22:46):
here twenty years ago and Poland, their whole family's there,
and they're thinking about moving back to Poland. Then stay
here this insanity. I've got people putting out for sale
signs and they're going to Long Island, Suffolk County, or

(01:23:06):
they're going up Westchester Way. They're willing to drive an
hour to two two hours to get into the city
to work all day and drive home rather than live
like this. They don't want to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
Vicki Palladino. Should everybody wave the white flag and give up.
Is that what you're saying, Leave New York run away?

Speaker 7 (01:23:32):
No, I am begging, Lily. I have to tell you
this weekend, I'm lying Christmas streets all over the district
right and I'm talking to I'm talking to Vicky.

Speaker 14 (01:23:43):
What do we do?

Speaker 7 (01:23:44):
I said, please stay put. I'm begging you, stay put.
The guy that got bet up on his front lawn
in Malbourne says to me, Vick, I've had it with
New York. I have my daughter in college. I have
my son in high school. As soon as he's done
with high school. If the sale sign's going out, please
don't do this. I'm begging you, please stay, please stay.

(01:24:06):
And you know what our governor's race is coming up.

Speaker 19 (01:24:09):
Rich.

Speaker 7 (01:24:11):
We need to take back Albany. We must take back Albany.

Speaker 5 (01:24:17):
What does a win at Albany look like in New
York City?

Speaker 7 (01:24:21):
A big It helps a lot because the power of
the pen as you could see with Trump, is so important.
Even if she doesn't in the long run, he needs
to at least wish You've got to win. If we
don't take the Senate, he's got a battle on our hands.

(01:24:43):
But what she could still do with the power of
the pen is a lot. She could get a rid
of Alvin Brad. He could do away with congestion pricing,
he could do away with speed cameras. He could override
a lot of things here with our education, property taxes
he can't touch. He talks about property taxes, he cannot

(01:25:05):
touch our property taxes that comes from the state of
New York. So if the if a Republican takes over
the governor's mansion, we've got a chance. I don't know
rich in all honesty, and I'm here all of my life.

(01:25:25):
I don't know what will happen if the Republicans do
not take the State House. I don't know. That's how
important it is.

Speaker 5 (01:25:37):
So what do people do? How do they help you?
How do they get more involved?

Speaker 7 (01:25:41):
Well, what we're doing now is you know a lease
is moving about the entire state. You run for governor.
It's not an easy task, but I got to tell
the people of the city of New York. First of all,
anybody out there did look up police and find I
don't have hope being in front of me to tell
you how to donate. Because even though she's raised a
lot of money, he needs even more than that. Because

(01:26:05):
what's behind what's going to be behind Hopel. Now here's
the other caveat to all of this. You've seen Hakem
Jeffries taken knee to the DSA. We've seen the so
called Democratic leadership taken knee to this communist. So they
might even decide to primary Hopel because if you remember,

(01:26:27):
he refused to endorse her. When the cameras asked, Doran,
will you endorse the Hopel for governor the way she
endorsed you for mayor? He didn't answer. I don't have
an answer for that yet. It's too soon.

Speaker 5 (01:26:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26:41):
All I know is she said no to the train proposal,
but yes, keep making your ice videos.

Speaker 5 (01:26:46):
So I guess she's compromising with him as well.

Speaker 7 (01:26:49):
Yeah, because this what are you afraid of? Here's the deal,
here's the deal. Also, if you were a real leader.
Now I'm gonna say something about out to the Democrats,
because this guy's not a Democrat, he's PSA. If the
Democrats had half a mind and a spine and needs

(01:27:11):
that can get locked together and say, you know what,
they should have did this even during the primary session.
They didn't do this. Who are you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
We are?

Speaker 7 (01:27:21):
The Democratic pride we are the Democratic Party. You do
not represent the Democratic Party. You represent the Democratic Socialist Party.
You're not one of us. Why didn't they stand up
to him? Why did they take a knee to AOC
who can't knit two sentences together and make any sense?

(01:27:45):
Bernie Sanders that other one? And then you got Pocahontis.
What the hell is her name? Yeah, huh, okay, you've
got these The other guy boham, what's his name?

Speaker 5 (01:27:59):
To Jamal Barrow, that's the one who likes to pull
the fire alarms. He got put out.

Speaker 7 (01:28:05):
So you're telling me you're going to takenknee to these people.
You're the Democratic Party of the United States of America,
and you have taken a knee to the likes of
these people. What is wrong with the Democrats? And that
is why, that is why the Democrats were set up.

(01:28:25):
They did not come out in both the way they
should have. Oh no, no, no, they did not, No,
they did not. Yeah, they'd rather sit it out.

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
Well, I think for so many people, the Democrats are
sitting out for the same reason that you're involved in this.
And before we go, I want you to tell everybody
a little bit about why you were a wife and
a mom, living your life golden years. You didn't need
to get involved in politics. Your husband has a good business,
you have beautiful children. Why did you decide to throw
your hat in the ring for State Senate and then

(01:28:54):
for city council and keep doing it? Obviously you're doing well,
you keep winning by record breaking numbers. But what was
the reason you did it?

Speaker 7 (01:29:01):
I did it because I didn't like what was going on.
The Blasio was on mayor at the time. I saw
what was happening with the State Senate. The Republicans had
control of the State Senate until the election of twenty eighteen,
pardon me, and that was the election I ran it.
I lost. However, when we had that, when we had

(01:29:24):
the State Senate, I said, lose the Senate, lose the state.
That was my slogan, because we were only holding on
by the whites of our fingernails, and by that I
mean two or three seats.

Speaker 9 (01:29:38):
That was it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
That was it.

Speaker 7 (01:29:40):
So the Democrat pushed it into full throttle. It was
the blue waves, the year of the Blue Waves in
twenty eighteen, and they took it lock stock and smoking barrels.
That we lost the State Senate by something like twenty seats. Wow,
there's only sixty some odd seats in the state Senate.

(01:30:04):
And at the time when in twenty eighteen when I ran,
we had I think it was thirty one seats, so
there must be thirty three seats, sixty sixty three seats
because I and you know, I ran against Jean Loue.
He's a season politician, and at that time there was
an independent line, a legit independent line, and Tony Avella,

(01:30:28):
two season politicians. Vicky Palladino got off for kitchen table.
I raised a lousy thirty seven thousand dollars. I can't
tell you how proud I am of that campaign. I
went everywhere in the district, everywhere that I could possibly go,
and I beat Tonyavella on the Independent line, and of

(01:30:48):
course John Lewis took a beating, but still, I think
over twenty thousand people came out and voted for me,
which was pretty good for somebody off a kitchen table.
All that did was make me want to do more
and more and more, because that race made us a
one party state, and that is why we are totally blue,

(01:31:10):
and that is why it is almost it is I
won't say almost impossible. It's so difficult for Republican to win.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
Well, you did it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
You did it, and I think that you've got to
give yourself a little credit for doing it and hold
on to hope that it can be done again.

Speaker 1 (01:31:27):
Well.

Speaker 7 (01:31:27):
I run a very strong Republican club, the White Sto
Republican Club. It's rated top one of the I think,
if not the top, the second in the state. And
I'm very proud of this club. And people just keep
coming in droves and droves anytime I do anything. You know,
I've made a lot of very good friends and I

(01:31:49):
look forward to you know, just won the twenty five race,
which is for four straight years. Who knows what the
future will hold for me down the line, but I
surely hope that I'm not done yet. I will say
that there's more to do. I'm always up for a fight,
should there be one, although you know there has to
be one, I don't. I would prefer the easier path,

(01:32:13):
which would be conversations and trying to figure out and
fix what's broke. But you have to understand, when you
deal with people of this mindset, there is no negotiations. However,
the real Democrats, those Blue dog Democrats, the old school
Kennedy Democrats. Now they're well in their eighties if not older. Yeah,

(01:32:37):
you need to come out and vote. They need to
come out and vote. They're fed up and you're all
going to see them vote for a lease now. Also,
they you have got in order for at least to win,
you must win thirty three percent of New York City
because that's how much people. You know, we are very

(01:33:00):
what's the word, I'm looking forward. We have so many
people living here as opposed to throughout the state. There's
sixty one counties.

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
Oh was that the apportionment?

Speaker 7 (01:33:14):
Yes, because of the amount of people here, she's got
to win thirty three percent. So anybody who lives in
New York City, we need you to vote. We need
your support. Democrat, Republican, Independence, I don't care what party
you come from. The point is you're not gonna like

(01:33:34):
what's coming. You certainly didn't like what happened in twenty five.
It's only going to get worse than twenty six. So
we need everybody to get involved. Everybody to understand that
she's not a right wing crazy lady Trump lady, Okay,
because that's the most that's the thing they're going to
play on Yeah, well that's not who she is.

Speaker 5 (01:33:56):
Honestly, I think people there's a lot of people that
probably would prefer that as to it.

Speaker 7 (01:34:00):
Crazy like people are set up, they want to change.
This is the this is the time to make the change.
The change is coming.

Speaker 14 (01:34:10):
I know.

Speaker 7 (01:34:11):
You know, people are so tired of hearing people like
me say this to them. They're really like, that's the
sense thick, you know, shaking their heads now and they
listen to this saying, you know how many times have
we heard New Yorkers say this? You know, what's the sense?
It doesn't matter? And that's what I hear. But it
does matter. Please don't give up. It does matter and

(01:34:34):
we can win.

Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Amen, Vicky Palladino. I want to thank you for being here.
By the way, the website is at least for governor
dot com. And tell everybody your website and how they
can follow you.

Speaker 7 (01:34:44):
They can follow me at Vicky for NYC dot com.
Follow Vicky Paladino for NYC on Twitter. That's my real
hardcore Twitter. I would advise that's the meat and the potatoes.
You could follow Council Member Vicky Paladino on Facebook and
you can follow Vicky Paladino for NYC on Facebook. Both

(01:35:05):
are a little common in Twitter.

Speaker 4 (01:35:07):
Outstanding well counsel woman, Vicki Paladine. I want to thank
you for being here. Keep keep the fight going, keep
that fire in your belly, and God.

Speaker 7 (01:35:15):
Speak to you.

Speaker 5 (01:35:15):
Thank you man, thank you, do talk to you.

Speaker 18 (01:35:17):
So this is.

Speaker 4 (01:35:30):
America, all righty by us. Welcome back rich Valdez. Valdez

(01:36:05):
with an ass at Rich Valdez on all of the
social media.

Speaker 5 (01:36:08):
And I like this one, a little smooth, little mellow
right here.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
All right, anyway, I'm saying I'm going to get into
the action now. So Marjorie Taylor Green, Congressman from Georgia
that's retiring. She was on Sixty Minutes with Leslie stall
And giving an interview, obviously answering all the questions about
the back and.

Speaker 5 (01:36:34):
Forth with her and El Trampito, El Trumpito calling.

Speaker 4 (01:36:37):
Her an ill prepared trader, and her saying lots of
things in this interview. And we're going to get to
that straight ahead. Actually right now, I think we just
got to get those queued up. Can we get those
queued UPFA said your productor all right, let's get that done.
I want to start with number twelve cut number twelve.
The one referencing is green.

Speaker 5 (01:37:02):
Yeah, you just play it?

Speaker 16 (01:37:03):
Are you maga?

Speaker 19 (01:37:05):
I am America First? And that's not the same as mega.
Maga is President Trump's phrase, that's his political policies. I
call myself America first.

Speaker 16 (01:37:19):
But you're not saying you're mago. I'm America first.

Speaker 4 (01:37:24):
Yeah, all right, So she wants to make a clear
delineation that she is not Mega. Then she goes on
to say she will not be anybody's battered wife. Check
this one out.

Speaker 16 (01:37:35):
Did you surrender? Did Donald Trump run you out of town?

Speaker 8 (01:37:39):
No?

Speaker 16 (01:37:40):
Not at all.

Speaker 19 (01:37:42):
Actually, Leslie, it's more like this is I said in
my statement, I will be no one's battered wife, and
I'm in it and I won't allow the system to
abuse me anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
So you heard her statement when she made it. The
night that she made it, we brought that to you
breaking news. And now this is what happened last night
on Sunday night, sixty minutes. President Trump, of course demanding
an apology after this, saying I want sixty minutes to
apologize to me over its misleading Hunter Biden laptop coverage,
and he fumed about outgoing Republican Congressoman Marjorie Taylor Green's

(01:38:19):
combat of interview with Leslie Stall, in which she hinted
that Republican colleagues mock him behind his back, calling her
a trader in an epic truth Social rant that he
went on earlier today. The only reason Marjorie Taylor Green,
excuse me, in true ed Trumpeto fashion, he gave her
a good nickname here. The only reason Marjorie Trader Green,

(01:38:40):
oh hold on. The only reason Marjorie Trader Brown, because
Green turns brown under stress went bad is that she
was let me see if I could do this in
my el Trumpito voice. The only reason that Marjorie Trader Brown,
because Green turns brown under stress she went bad is
that she was jilted by the President of the United States.

(01:39:03):
Certainly not the first time she's been jilted. And that's
what Trump wrote this morning on truth Social after the
sixty minutes interview aired. The primetime interview came just weeks
after the firebrand Georgia representative This is in the New
York Post and one time diehard Trump's supporter, announced that
she would be resigning from Congress after breaking with the

(01:39:25):
president on issues like the release of the Jeffrey Epstein
files and voicing support for extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies.
She also blamed el Trumpito for rhetoric fueling death threats
against her and her family.

Speaker 5 (01:39:41):
Now that part, I got to say, this is a
little bit of a stretch.

Speaker 4 (01:39:43):
I understand the logic here, but people are going to
criticize people in politics all the time, and you can't
really turn her on and say this is because of you.
He didn't say anything like go and get her, go
and kill her, right, he didn't say anything like that.
I guess she's going to say beca because he called
her a trader. That this is how, you know, people
are automatically supposed to treat traders. But the thing is

(01:40:06):
traders like Bennett Arnold and whatnot. That's how a military
tribunal would deal with a military trader, not necessarily a
civilian right. And civilians aren't held to the uniform code
of military justice. And I think that's widely known anyway,
and if it's not, it really should be. Now Green
said it would shock people to learn how Republicans talk

(01:40:27):
about the president out of his earshot. Well, I don't
think that would be shocking. I think any president, any honestly,
any big person period. Right, if you're the CEO of
a company, your secretary probably sings your praises all the time.
But when she gets home or he gets home and
they talk to their spouse, I'm sure they're like, what
a jerk? Did you know he did whatever today? Or
blah blah blah blah blah blah. I mean, people blow

(01:40:50):
off steam by talkers smack. It's a thing that people do.
It wouldn't surprise me anyway. Another quote here from Green,
she says, Okay, I want watch many of my colleagues
go from making fun of him, making fun of how
he talks, making fun of how of me constantly supporting him,
to when he won the primary in twenty four they

(01:41:11):
all started saying, excuse my language, leslie kissing his ass
and decided to put a maga hat on for the
first time. Green also claimed that Republicans bite their tongue
when speaking about Trump, even when they disagree with him,
because they're terrified of ending up in his crosshairs. Well, listen,
if you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen.

(01:41:33):
I mean, Trump is great at coming up with nicknames.
I never would have come up with that one, Marjorie
Trader Green, That's this is excellent, right. I mean, he
is a master marketer. I always say he's like the
first talk radio president. He comes up with the best
nicknames to create a foil for his radio show. You know,
for a while, I was hoping really intently that he

(01:41:55):
was going to be the one to replace Rush Limbaugh.
I think El Tranpito on the radio would be a
maze every day. Obviously, you know, he's got way too
much on his plate to do something like that. But
a brother could dream, anyway, she says, I think they're
terrified to step out of line and get a nasty
truth social post about them. Listen, if you're gonna be
a whist and be afraid of something like that, that's

(01:42:16):
on you, right Listen. If you support the president, you
support the president. If you don't support the president, you
don't support the president. I'm gonna tell you this. I
have supported the president on many, many, many things, and
I broke a company with the President on his support
for Andrew Cuomo. I wasn't afraid of getting a truth
social quote. I'm sure he could say something nasty about

(01:42:38):
me if he wanted to. But I think the President
tends to respect people that disagree and they do it
wholeheartedly with you know, without being vicious and attacking him.
Right now, she's talking about people making fun of him.
I don't make fun of the guy. I do an
impression because I think and he's one of the I
think he might be the most famous person in the world,
at least now at this point in time.

Speaker 5 (01:42:58):
He definitely is.

Speaker 4 (01:42:59):
When you're at the top, people are gonna take shots.
That's just how it works. He fights back, that's what
he's doing. So I mean, come on, if you're any
member of Congress, I mean, Jasmine Crockett's not afraid to
talk bad about Trump. AOC's not afraid to take on Trump. Right,
I'll hand Omar is always running her mouth. So how
are you gonna tell me that the Republicans are afraid

(01:43:20):
to say something about Trump. If you got a problem
with the guy, take it up with him. If not,
the figure out what you got to do. But to
sit here and say you want to say something but
you're afraid, that's just cowardice.

Speaker 5 (01:43:31):
Come on, or'll be out there. I don't want to
hear it.

Speaker 4 (01:43:34):
Anyway, and as expected, President Trump fought back with his
lengthy post on truth Social.

Speaker 5 (01:43:40):
Let me see if I could pull that up so
I can read it to you. Oh, I think I
got it right here.

Speaker 4 (01:43:43):
All right, So I'm looking at the truth Social post here,
and I read you at the beginning about being jilted,
which is funny.

Speaker 5 (01:43:50):
And he goes on too.

Speaker 4 (01:43:51):
Much work, not enough time, and her ideas are now
really bad. She sort of reminds me of a rotten apple.
Marjorie is not America for or Maga, because nobody could
have changed her views so fast, and her new views
are those of a very dumb person. That was proven
last night when washed up Trump hating Sixty Minutes correspondent

(01:44:15):
Leslie Stahl, one who still owes me an apology from
when she attacked me on the show with a serious
conviction that Hunter Biden's Laptop from Hell was produced by Russia,
not Hunter himself, totally proven wrong, interviewed a very poor prepared,
poorly prepared trader who, in her confusion, made many really

(01:44:36):
stupid statements. My real problem with the show, however, wasn't
the low IQ trader. It was the new ownership of
sixty minutes paramount would allow a show like this to air.

Speaker 5 (01:44:49):
They are no better than.

Speaker 4 (01:44:50):
The old ownership who just paid me millions of dollars
for fake reporting about your favorite president. Me since they
bought it, signixty minutes has actually gotten worse. Oh well,
far worse things can happen. PS I hereby demand a
complete and total apology, though far too late to be meaningful,

(01:45:11):
from Leslie stall In sixty minutes for her incorrect, libelous
statements about Hunter's laptop. President DJT, Now, I got to
work on my Trump impression. Like my buddy Sean Ferrass says,
leave it to the professionals, But I try to do
it for your amusement, and it helps me to decipher
what I'm reading as well. Anyway, that alarm means I

(01:45:32):
gotta start wrapping it up as well. But that's what's
going on with Marjorie Taylor Green. Of course, she has
doubled down on her critique of Israel, saying she refuses
to bow down to people calling her an anti semit
I think we have that clip as well.

Speaker 5 (01:45:49):
Let's see if we can get that queued up and
listen to this.

Speaker 17 (01:45:54):
Why did you vote against the anti Semitism Awareness Act.

Speaker 19 (01:46:00):
Since I've been a member of Congress, we've had several
resolutions that constantly denounce anti Semitism. I've already voted denouncing
anti semitism many times before it becomes an exercise that
they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it.

Speaker 17 (01:46:19):
Is there no value in having the United States Congress
reaffirm the fact that they denounce anti Semitism in the
face of a growing issue, a growing problem.

Speaker 19 (01:46:32):
We don't have to get on our knees and say
it over and over again when we don't already knees. Yes,
we do not have to get on our knees.

Speaker 16 (01:46:41):
Well, most members of Congress disagree with you.

Speaker 19 (01:46:44):
Well, most members of Congress take donations from APAC and
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:46:49):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
I'm sure that there were a bunch of people that
were really excited about her comment about taking money from APEC.
But I am going to say, most members of Congress
aren't voting on their knees. Do you hear multitudes of
members of Congress saying, oh my god, they made me
vote against anti semitism again.

Speaker 5 (01:47:05):
Ah, the nerve?

Speaker 4 (01:47:07):
Why would you be mad about voting against anti semitism?
It's like voting against racism or anything else that is
patently bad.

Speaker 5 (01:47:16):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:47:16):
I say this to say she's trying to make the case,
as are others that are in the conservative movement that
I believe don't like the Jews. It's my belief, and
they hide it behind a critique of Yahoo, a critique
of the kanesse At, a critique of the Israeli government,
or the IDF. And she says she's voted a number

(01:47:39):
of times for anti semitism, then why why not? Why
not do it one more time? And I think Leslie
Stall was right here. I think we're seeing more and
more anti semitism all over the place, so then why
not reaffirm that in the face of the growing anti Semitism.
I understand she's saying she feels like it's enough, it's
enough to vote present. But to sit here and say
I'm not going to get on my knees. Who's asking

(01:48:01):
you to get on your knees. Nobody's ever asked me
to get on my knees. I don't understand this. To me,
that's the not so thinly veiled attempt to attack, and
it just to me, it wasn't a good look.

Speaker 1 (01:48:16):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:48:16):
It almost seemed like she was contentious towards these types
of resolutions, which, again, if you don't want to vote
against anti semitism, then I mean it's safe for some
to assume that you're voting for it. And I don't
think anybody wants to be in that camp. That's my thought.

(01:48:36):
And I also don't think that anybody's being paid. If
I were a member of Congress, whether I took money
from Apak or not, I would vote to disparage anti Semitism.
Why would anybody not unless you're ill? Hand omar so
I think that was a bad look. But otherwise, godspeed
to you, Marjorie Taylor Green, thanks for your service to
the country. And we continue straight ahead more to there's

(01:49:00):
a doctor out there that says mammograms might actually be
causing cancer. Go figure, it was supposed to catch cancer.
He says you might catch cancer from the mamogram. Ain't
that's something. Don't go anywhere Amara.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
This is Samaria, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:49:29):
I mean, he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your
company tonight, almost.

Speaker 5 (01:49:34):
Wrapping it up.

Speaker 4 (01:49:34):
And I want to get into this discussion about the
doctor that says that anti no anti semitism. That was
the last thing that mammograms, that mammograms, the radiographic imaging
that's used to examine breast tissue might in fact be

(01:49:56):
leading to more instances of breast cancer. This I thought
was pretty shocking, and apparently it's supported by some data,
and then it's also shot down by other data, by
those that say no, no, no, don't say that. We
don't want you to say that the testing is causing
the cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:50:14):
Listen to this data has come out about mimography, getting
a mammogram that shows that for every ten thousand people
that you give a mammogram to, eight people will die
that would have never had breast.

Speaker 6 (01:50:26):
Cancer from breast cancer.

Speaker 1 (01:50:29):
Now you can justify using a mammogram and say, well,
hundreds of people will be saved by getting mammograms preemptively.
First off, the hipocratical says do no harm.

Speaker 5 (01:50:39):
First, that's doing harm.

Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
You're killing eight people. You're killing eight people for every
ten thousand mammograms. And yes, you're saving hundreds. However, there
is a ton of data that actually shows as a
fifty two percent overdiagnosis when using mimography. That means that
we are treating a great deal of people that would
have never died of breat cancer in the first place,
just by doing the mammogram. Now, if you want to

(01:51:02):
do a safer way, you have a couple options. You
can do ultrasound, which literally is super definitive, and if
you found something on mammogram, you'd get an ultrasound anyways,
except with ultrasound there's no radio deation. Secondly, you can
do a thermogram. Just have them take a heat signature
of your breast tissue and you can actually see if
there's metabolock activity potentially extra blood flow to one of
your breast and then you'd get an ultrasound. Anyways, Why

(01:51:23):
are we getting mammograms and telling women to get mammograms
on a yearly basis, especially if they have dense breast tissue,
when the radiation from the mammogram can actually cause breast
cancer and they've done long term studies on this. I
actually read a cock Froom review, which is the most
prestigious research EIMTE to exist. It's a huge menanalysis of
multiple multiple studies and basically said, in a study of
node positive cancers that were saved within screen pre screens

(01:51:49):
versus controls, screen would be a mammogram there was a
zero net effectiveness rating, so just keep that in mind.
Ultrasound and thermogram should be the standard.

Speaker 5 (01:52:00):
So that is pretty alarming right.

Speaker 8 (01:52:05):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:52:05):
This doctor, his name is doctor Goodbinder. He issued this
PSA on his Instagram feed. But some people are saying
it's it's pseudoscience, it's misleading, it's not real. Now this
when you put it out on TikTok, it got over
a one point five million views. I think that this
is an interesting topic to explore. I mean, it sounded

(01:52:26):
it made sense to me. It's not the first time
I've heard that either. I also heard it about biopsies
that biopsies can also spread the carcinogenic tissue, causing more
illness as opposed to not cutting it open. But according
to doctor Goodbinder, the recent data indicates that these mammograms
may actually be harmful to some patients. And like he said,

(01:52:49):
for every ten thousand people that you give a mammogram to,
eight people will die that would have never had breast
cancer to begin with. He continued to explain that many
just to find the use of these machines because they
save hundreds of lives, and that's because early detection of
breast cancer leads to better survival rates. However, the doctor

(01:53:09):
said he firmly believes in the Hippocratic oath taken by
doctors and that first part is do no harm.

Speaker 5 (01:53:15):
And I agree with that too.

Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
It's central to the oath. It reminds doctors to be
mindful when treating patients. He says, it's doing harm to
actually kill eight people per every ten thousand mammograms. I think,
so we shouldn't be killing people because we're trying to
test for cancer that we're trying to save you from.
The doctor also argued that the assertion that hundreds of
lives are saved annually by mammograms might be a misrepresentation,

(01:53:41):
saying that there's a ton of data that actually shows
a fifty two percent over diagnosis and you heard that
in the video when using mimography, and that he recommends
using ultrasound as an alternative to that. I'm very curious because,
according to an article from Johns Hopkins's Medicine, this this
is one of six common mammogram myths that could potentially

(01:54:04):
lead people to miss the health screening that they need,
which is recommended annually for women over the age of forty,
and the article features another doctor, doctor zeb she's a
breast imaging specialist at Johns Hopkins, advocating for this. So again,
like usual, you get some doctors that think it's not good,
others that think it is good. And she ultimately makes

(01:54:26):
the case that humans that are exposed to constant background
radiation in their daily lives, the radiation does from a
mammogram is equal to about two months of background radiation
for the average woman. So I guess like background radiation
being like microwave ovens or cell phone usage or things
like that. The FDA published an article that states that

(01:54:47):
thermography has not been shown to be effective as a
standalone test for breast cancer screening and detecting the early
stages of breast cancer. The article further states that patients
who opt for thermography did not take the results as
definitive if they don't also get another test, such as
a mammogram. In the comments section, plenty of viewsers said

(01:55:09):
they agreed with doctor Goodmunder. However, not everyone agreed with
his advice, And ultimately, I think these are things you
got a test right. There was a time in our
medical history collectively as a country that we were forcing
people to get vaccines. And if you didn't get when

(01:55:31):
you were killing someone's grandmother. I don't know if anybody
remembers that, right, get the vaccine, you're killing my mother,
You're killing my grandmother. We all know that was a force.
It was fake, it was phony, it was fraud. And
now we know that those vaccines, in fact have even
killed some children who were given the vaccines when they
didn't even need them. So I'll let you make of
this what you want. But now you know, and like

(01:55:51):
Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of
the story. Anyway, keep it locked right here. I'm gonna
wrap things up. I'll be right back.

Speaker 3 (01:55:57):
This is America, This is America. He's making podcasting great again.

(01:56:19):
This is America with the Rich Valdez.

Speaker 4 (01:56:24):
All right, I mean he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez.
Valdees with an ask at Rich Valdez on all of
the social media keeping you company.

Speaker 5 (01:56:31):
And I want to get into a couple of items
of good news, if you will. There's a study that
came out in January. It's a little bit out of
date right now, but very positive. A lot of good news.

Speaker 4 (01:56:42):
Coming out of it indicating that if you have potential
for breast cancer. The weight loss drug mount Jarro, which
I've heard nothing but great things about it, I can
tell you from my own perspective that it.

Speaker 5 (01:56:58):
Seems to be a miracle drug. The now say, or
the scientists now say, yes. In fact, people are experiencing
a decrease in the risk for cancer.

Speaker 4 (01:57:13):
Because of this. All right, check this out. Mount Jarro boobs.
Weight loss drugs can shrink breast cancer tumors. According to
a new study, turns out that these GLP one drugs
just aren't slimming waistlines, they're shrinking tumors as well. A
new study reports that mice shed about twenty percent of
their body weight and saw their breast cancer tumors decrease

(01:57:35):
after getting injected with her Zeppetite, which is sold as
mount Jarro or zip bound for obesity. Obesity is a
significant risk factor for breast cancer, said the study author,
a doctor Amanda Cosinicus. She's a PhD candidate at the
University of Michigan. And while it's very preliminary data, the

(01:57:56):
studies in the mice suggest that these new anti obesia
city drugs may be a way to reduce obesity related
breast cancer risk and improve outcomes as well. Trezepatite is
a part of a drug class called GLP one, which,
like ozepic and wagovi, they reduced appetite by mimicking the
GLP one hormone that the body naturally produces after eating.

(01:58:19):
And there is a new study and I talked about
it last week, routetaitide. I think it's what it's called
this or rich retritatide. Anyway, I'm saying it wrong. But
this new drug they're saying could help you with all
sorts of impulse control like gambling, drug addiction, all sorts

(01:58:41):
of things where people can't feel like they can't control themselves,
including eating, impulse eating.

Speaker 5 (01:58:48):
That these things are showing some sort of improvement there.

Speaker 4 (01:58:52):
So for the new study, sixteen young mice with breast
cancer were fattened up and kept in a warm home
to encourage obesity.

Speaker 5 (01:58:59):
Sounds right.

Speaker 4 (01:59:00):
The mice we're given trezeppetide and a placebo every other
day for sixteen weeks. Researchers measured their tumor volumes twice
a week, finding that as the mice shed the pounds
and the fat stored in their livers, their tumors shrank accordingly.
So Marrow of the story, don't be fat. If you
got to be fat, get yourself some to zeppetide, all right,

(01:59:21):
I mean, he goes. I think that's it for me.
I hope, I hope that's it for me.

Speaker 11 (01:59:27):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:59:27):
I don't think we have much more time left. I
think we've got thirty seconds on the clock. But I
want to thank you for being here.

Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
I want to thank counsel woman of Vicki Palladino for
joining us and calling into the show this evening. Looking
forward to adding in the call in portion open phone
in America that you guys can call into. We're making
strides on that front. You know, it's technology and we've
got to get around these things. But the big news
which will be coming in January, I think you're really

(01:59:56):
gonna enjoy.

Speaker 5 (01:59:57):
That as well.

Speaker 4 (01:59:58):
So us stall Approxima, take care, good night, and God
bless you America.

Speaker 5 (02:00:03):
And I always say at the end of the show,
you have to stand for something. If you stand for nothing,
you'll fall for anything. And the only thing necessary for
evil to triumph is for you to do nothing. I
start at Proxhima I'm rich Valdez and this is America.

Speaker 3 (02:00:19):
This is America.
