This is America, Richiev. You're on the air with A
Nation America with your host, Rich Valdez.
Speaker 5 (00:26):

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I am Rich Valdez Valdesk with an S at Rich

website Rich valdest dot com. Check me out on social
media at Rich valdesk with an S so we can
keep in touch. And President Trump ed Trumpito inviting Mohammed
(00:48):
ben Salman to the White House today. I'm going to
get to that in a minute. Then he got into
it with a reporter. Then more Epstein drama. The Epstein
email hoax continues, and now now there's more to it,
more people getting involved, more people talking about it with
this upcoming congressional vote as well as people weighing in
on other things. Right, we've got a bunch of people
(01:10):
weighing in on what's going on in the Middle East.
ICE continues their work across the country with people weighing
in on both sides of that argument, and so much more.
But I want to start with the state visit from
Mohammed ben Salmon, the head honcho in Saudi Arabia, and
he was in the White House. He was explaining the
(01:30):
President Trump that he's very interested in joining the Abraham
Accords only if the Abraham Accords will consist of a
two state solution. Now, this has been contentious throughout this
peace process, but listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
We want to be part of the Brim Accord, but
we want also to be sure that secure a clad
path of two state solution. Today we have a healthy
discussion with Prisminster President that we got to walk on
that to be sure that we can prepare situation as
lit as possible to have that.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
I think we're you know, I don't want to use
the word commitment, but we've had a very good talk
on the Abraham Accords. We talked about one state, two state,
you know, we talked about a lot of things in
a short period of time.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
We'll be discussing it further too. But I think you
have a very good feeling for the Abraham and Court,
just definitimes. The President we want peaceful, the readies, we
want peaceful. The Palestinians, we want them to co exist
peaceful in the region.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
We will do all best to reach out and the
defense agreement.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
Have you reached the agreement on that is pretty much?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Have it?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
So that is again Mohammed ben Salmon from Saudi Arabia
had Hancho there and he says, look, we're looking for
a two state solution. El Trompito says, look, you're interested
in peace, going back and forth. This is what negotiating
looks like. Of course, I think the real solution here
is a three state solution if you're going to look
at multi state solutions, because what happens in the West Bank, right,
(02:55):
they have a whole different angle that doesn't necessarily coincide
with what's happening in Gaza. So this is going to
be curious. And again this is why they weren't involved
in that first go round. I think they're going to
reach a place where things make a lot of sense
because they're selling their oil. Trump is making deals and
he's doing an incredibly heavy lift.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Right.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
This is the same Mohammed bin Salmon that wouldn't even
shake hands with Joe Biden. It sent the mayor to
greet him when he got there. There was no pomp,
no circumstance. President Trump comes and it's like, hey, roll
out the red carpet, bring in the dancers. We're having
a hoe down here.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Listen. I got it, I got it.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
They still have things to hammer out, and I think
that they're on the same page. We're going to see
what happens. But it's interesting to me to see that
there seems to be a genuine amount of goodwill here
now ed Trumpito, of course, continuing to feel questions from
those in the press corps when someone from the fake
(03:53):
news media, you know, I love it when he says
the fake news, you know, any points to the back
of the room, you know, kind of puts his a
hand of his eyebrow because the lights are in his face,
and he points way back. He says, look at the
fake news. They're all back there. Look at the fake news.
Because I think nobody's been as effective at labeling the
left within the media as fake news, and the truth is,
(04:15):
they are fake news in many ways, right. They've created
so many false narratives that you know, people like me
have to come out here and try to explain and
make sense out of it and make truth of because
they're honestly and lamentably they're such good liars. So anyway,
I want to get into President Trump again fielding some
questions with a reporter from ABC News.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
When this happens, listen to this.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
It's about a one week for Congress to release the
Epstein files.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Why not just do it now.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
It's not the question that I mind, it's your attitude.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
I think you are a terrible reporter.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
It's the way you ask these questions. You start off
with a man who's highly respected asking him a horrible,
insubordinate and just a terrible question. And you could even
ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched. Somebody
sucks you over at ABC. You got to psych it.
(05:15):
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. As far
as the Epstein files is, I have nothing to do
with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club
many years ago because I thought he was a sick perverb.
But I guess I would turn out to be right.
But you know who does have Bill Clynton. Larry Summers,
who ran Harvard, was with him every single night, every
(05:37):
single weekend. They lived together. They went to his island
many times. I never did.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Andrew Weissman here.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
All these guys were friends of his. You don't even
talk about those people. You just keep going on the
Epstein files. And what the Epstein is is a Democrat
hoax to try and get me not to be able
to talk about the twenty one trillion dollars that I
talked about today. It's a hoax.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So that's President Trump again with Mohammed Vin Salmon in
the White House and he's sparring with reporter from ABC News,
Mary Bruce, And I'm going to get into that, but
I thought it was interesting he mentions Larry Summers, Larry Summers,
the former Harvard president and former Federal Reserve board chair,
(06:25):
And he recently was asking Jeffrey Epstein, or at least
it was revealed recently that he was asking Jeffrey Epstein
for dating advice.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
I'm going to get into that in a little bit.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
But this woman, Mary Bruce, she used President Trump's meeting
with the Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salmon from Saudi Arabia
to ask about the killing of Jamal Kashogi and of course,
you know, turned into the Epstein files eventually, and President Trump,
you heard him say it, people are wise to your hoax.
(07:00):
Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I love
it the way he you know, he's as honest as
he can be without becoming I'm gonna say belligerent. Right.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
He went on to say, quote, I'll tell you something.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC
News because your news is so fake and so wrong.
And we have a great commissioner, a chairman who should
take a look at that. He added, Now, this is
the type of stuff that, of course the left within
the media begin to say, this is Trump. He's being
a fascist, he's weaponizing government, he's trying to get things.
(07:35):
You know, anybody who goes against him or asks him
tough questions, he's going to try and you know, use
the government against him. But the reality is, what has
he done. He hasn't done anything. He hasn't done anything
to he said, he thinks those are his opinions, right,
he's not in control of that stuff. And of course
now he's the commander in chief, he's the chief executive
(07:56):
of the United States. He can ask Chairman car to
take a look at things that are not on the
up and up, and if they don't meet the standard,
then it's them, right, who've put themselves in this situation.
But it's not necessarily he's just picking people that he
doesn't like to say, Hey, I think you're fake news,
so you can't report the news. It doesn't seem willy
(08:16):
nilly to me, right, it seems like you've got to
prove a case. President Trump happens to have won lawsuits
against ABC News and other CBS news. So when you've
won these lawsuits, they've been whether defamatory or falls and
you're the victor, the clear victor, and it's a matter
of record and court, a matter of fact. I don't
(08:41):
think you can say that this is a weaponization of government.
And I'm not the one making this up. Right, you
can google anywhere you want. President Trump winning these lawsuits
left and right. So anyway, the point of it is,
they get into this sparring match. And I thought it
was funny because who else would do that, right, who
(09:02):
else takes that moment with the crown Prince there? I honestly,
I would tell you I would be somewhat mortified, and
I just say, well, unbelievable with this lady in my head,
and I do my best to answer it and probably
move on, just because I'd be embarrassed to kind of
fight back in front of my guest. But that goes
to show you had Trumpito figures out how to do
(09:24):
it very quickly, stayed calm. He didn't jump out of
his chair. He just said, you're a bad person. And
I tell you I learned a thing or two from
him every now and again. All right, I mean, he goes,
I'm gonna pause right here. We're coming right back straight ahead.
We're gonna talk about how Jeffrey Epstein was given out
dating advice to this Larry Summers, plus what's going on
(09:44):
with Hakeem Jeffries and more with what's happening in New
York from Mamdani Nickey Minaj and a few other things
that dumb mayors across the country are saying, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
This is America. This is Amyot. He's brown, he's bald,
and he's breaking it down.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
Oh he's so handsome.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
What's his name, Rich Valdez.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
All right, I mean he goes, We continue the conversation.
Thanks for tuning in, Rich Valdez here, keeping your company
live and in person. You know the website Rich Valdes
dot com, Rich valdesk with an S of course, at
rich valdest on all the social media. And I want
to get into this Epstein stuff a little bit more because,
(10:35):
as you know, the other day, I was doing some
work with the New York Post and I did a
story about Larry Summers getting caught up in that Epstein
email hoax, and they were trying to, you know, put
it on Trump like Trump had done this, Trump had
done that. But turns out when they dug deep into
all of that information that was released, it was Larry
(10:56):
Summers who was reaching out to Epstein with respect to
getting dating advice because he wanted to date a particular economist.
Crazy stuff, right, So let me call my pedophile buddy,
Jeffrey Epstein and see, how do you score these chicks?
What is it that you tell them? I mean, amazing
the stuff that goes on. I'm going to get into
that in a second. But I want you to hear
(11:17):
a little bit of what's going on on Capitol Hill,
because clearly the Democrats have been beating up Trump. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
But the problem is, every time it's supposed to fall
in his lap, it doesn't happen. Instead, what happens is
it falls back on Democrats and supporters. Trump pointed out
today that all of Epstein's political donations were to Democrats.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Not a single one was to him.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Well, anyway, Speaker Johnson chimed in on what's going on,
listen to this.
Speaker 11 (11:48):
But the truth is the biggest proponents of this discharge
petition were never actually interested in transparency or insure injustice
or protecting victims of this unspeakable tragedy, the Epstein evils.
And how do we know that because the Democrats had
every one of the Epstein files in their possession for
(12:10):
the four long years of the Biden administration. The Biden
Department of Justice had the files the entire time, and
not a single one of the people who are so
loud and animated right now, they never said anything about
it for all those four years. None of them held
press conferences, none of them demanded the release of the documents,
and under Biden's DOJ they when they prosecuted just Epstein
(12:33):
and Julane Maxwell, not a single one of these Democrats
or any of the proponents of the discharge ever made
any noise about that at all.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
So that's Speaker Johnson, and he's right.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Nobody made any noise because they knew that this would
likely implicate them, it's my opinion. But when they thought
that this could potentially fall on Trump, or when they
figured out that there's stuff in here that Trump doesn't
want people to know about, and not because it implicates him,
but likely because it implicates other people that are involved
in various peace processes and could permanently embarrass our country,
(13:04):
not because of him again, but because of people from
our country engaging in this kind of crazy behavior. Well,
guess what, he does the right thing and saying, look,
let's move on. But they're putting them in a position
where he's saying, look, I'm gonna go ahead and do it.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
And I support that.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm not necessarily one of these guys that is an
Epstein absolutist. I know some people they can't sleep at
night because we haven't seen the Epstein files and people's
names were not redacted, and this, that, and the third.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I can go to sleep just fine if I've never
heard the name Jeffrey Epstein again. The guy's dead. The
guy was in jail. He died in jail. His accomplice
is serving twenty years.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Now.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You could sell, but she's serving it in a country club.
She's doing this. Not a single person from that list. Hey, listen,
in real life, when people get locked up and they
don't roll on people, that's what happens. You get that
twenty year bid. So, I mean it makes sense to me.
This is a federal crime. The Feds only go after
cases they know they're going to win. So what are
(14:06):
you gonna do. You got to take the win you
can get. You don't want to take an l So
you take the win you can get, and you say,
all right, I'm gonna go for twenty years.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
She's gonna agree to twenty years. They're gonna negotiate.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
All right, you got twenty years, they want twenty five,
you want thirty, want fifty years.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
How about we go twenty and you give me a
medium security. So I can eat and I could do yoga,
and I could do pilates. I can get out and still,
you know, be whatever, you know, an old lady and
do my thing. This is these things happen all the time.
They try to paint it on Trump like he's doing something.
I don't believe that for a second. But anyway, I
(14:41):
want to get into this this stuff with Epstein because
you know what, there's another Democrat that has been implicated.
And this is the chairman of the Oversight Committee at
James Comer talking about a particular congressman that was mentioned
in some of this EPISOD stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
The files also show that a House Democrat colluded with
Epstein during the twenty nineteen Oversight hearing to discredit witness
with a vendetta against President Trump, and unsurprisingly, Democrats have
been silent about their colleagues's coordination with Epstein. Another email
shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event or to
(15:23):
meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of their twenty
thirteen effort to win a majority. So Hakeem Jeffreys campaign
solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we found in
the last document batch. The files underscore why former President
Trump must appear for his deposition. We've subpoened him. To date,
(15:46):
the Democrats have done nothing to help us secure his appearance.
I support full transparency. The Oversight Committee will continue to
work to get the truth to the American people and
to get justice for the victims. That's our goal of
this investigation.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Well, that's a big deal. Again, that's House Overside Committee
Chairman James Comer making this statement today that Tuesday that
Democrat leader Hakim Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Comer,
who's a Republican from Kentucky, is leading the Oversight Panel
into investigating Jeffries. With respect to Epstein, and he went
(16:26):
back about a dozen years to a twenty thirteen email
from a political consulting firm inviting the notorious pedophile to
a Democrat party dinner to get to know Hakim Jeffries.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
How about that, mm HM.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Now, Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to attend the event and
to meet privately with Hakim Jeffries as part of their
twenty thirteen effort to win a majority. Again, that's part
of Comer's testimony today is reported by The New York Post. So,
Hakim Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein, he claimed,
that's what we found in the last document batch.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
And you just heard that audio.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
So this is what the email says, Dear Jeffrey, we
are thrilled to announce that we are working with Congressman
Hakim Jeffries, one of the rising stars in the New
York City congressional delegation, sometimes referred to Brooklyn's Baraque. He
is a staunch supporter of President Obama and a progressive
(17:24):
voice for the New York for the people of the
City of New York. That's a quote from the email
that was sent from the fundraising firm to Epstein. It
also included a video and an article touting the Brooklyn
Democrats' work during his first year in Congress. Hakim is
committed to electing a Democrat majority. And this is what
(17:46):
they were you really pushing, saying that he's encouraging his
friends to participate in the d Triple C and the
Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee with their joint fundraising dinner with
President Obamata is coming Monday night, and the email continued,
shoot us an email or give us a call if
you'd like to get involved with the dinner. I would
(18:07):
like to get an opportunity to know mister Jeffries a
little better.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Isn't that something?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
So these are some of the exhibits that were entered
into evidence in the House Overside Committee hearing. And again,
this invite was sent five years after Epstein fled guilty
to charges of solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution
from a minor Again and that second part there, I
thought he was in the trafficking of young girls for
(18:36):
many years.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
I didn't know that he himself.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
Was soliciting the services of minor girls, which makes him,
you know, a pedal, and you know that came to light,
I don't know last year or whatever. And I thought
to myself, man, how do you let a guy like
that go?
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Right?
Speaker 4 (18:53):
And I understand sometimes we don't always get the justice
we want, but it seems like, man, I think they
could have done a little better. But this is me
Monday morning quarterbacking right now. Epstein, of course, like I
mentioned before, died. If you believe that he died, some
people don't believe he died. I believe that he did
kill himself or that someone went in there and made
(19:15):
it look like he killed himself. And either way, I
can't prove either one, right, So you could pick whicheveryone
you'll like and go with it. But that happened in
twenty nineteen while he was awaiting trial on federal sex
trafficking charges for children. And he had donated tens of
thousands of dollars to several Democrats in the nineteen nineties
and the two thousands so FEC or Federal Election Commission
(19:39):
records don't appear to show an Epstein donation to Jeffreys,
but that at least around the time that the email
was sent. But we do know that he solicited those funds,
and that was the charge today. So Larry Summers asking
for advice from this person that's notorious for, you know,
(20:05):
soliciting prostitution from young girls. And this economist that Larry
Summers was speaking to Jeffrey Epstein about, well, he said,
you know, he's looking for information on how to get
a quote horizontal with this girl. And you know she's
a lot younger than him. It looks like from the
(20:27):
picture I'm looking at the woman Larry Summers asked for
advice to get horizontal with in those emails.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
This is in the New York Post.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
By the way, to Jeffrey Epstein is a high flying economist.
The ex Treasury secretary was referring to a Chinese macro economist,
Ku Jin.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
She's forty three years old.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Back then, she was a tenured professor at the London
School of Economics and a graduate of Harvard. She's the
daughter of a top Chinese associate of President Shi Jingping.
Isn't that interesting now? In several message from twenty eighteen
to twenty nineteen, the married former Harvard President Larry Summers
(21:07):
confided in his wingman Jeffrey Epstein about a woman he
was chasing, and he was given him blow by blow
updates of his pursuit. Throughout the correspondence that they shared,
Somers and Epstein referred to the woman as Peril Austin
danjep Powers Okay, anyway, he calls her Peril, never using
(21:29):
her name and messages, but he also forwarded some of
her emails for commentary, in which Jin's name is unredacted.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Hmmm, this guy's really good.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
And in one of those messages, Summers asked Epstein whether
it was meaningful quote unquote to talk about the probability
of him getting horizontal with Pearl. Now, I just got
to say, how beta is that she've got? Larry Summers,
the president of Harvard. The guy was then charge of
the Federal Reserve Treasury secretary whatever it was he did,
(21:59):
and he he can't work up the nerve to talk
to a girl who's forty three years old and he's seventy.
And then he's got to go to Jeffrey Epstein, the
pimp and chief, to say, hey, do you think what
is it meaningful to talk about the probability of him
(22:19):
getting horizontal with Shorty? Should he unbelievable? I tell you, man,
this is crazy stuff. Anyway, he says, you're better at
understanding Chinese women than at probability theory, is what Summer said. Man,
what a geek. Anyway, maybe that's why he was going
to Epstein. Probably didn't have anybody else to go to.
(22:41):
He should check out the dating coach that we bring
on all the time, Jennifer Stiers.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Maybe she could have helped them. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Epstein went on to suggest that the probability of Summer's
ending up in bed with her was probably zero.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
That's so funny.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
No shorty for you anyway, He adds, she's never going
to find another Larry Summers.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
Probability of that zero? Man, What a tough guy. Anyway.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
People speculated online that the nickname is drawn from the
racist Yellow Peril trope of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, which was used to stoke fear that Asian immigrants,
especially Chinese and Japanese people, were a danger to westerns.
I think that happens to any group that's, you know,
migrating to a country. Civil rights attorney Alexandra Caravaido, a
(23:30):
clinical instructor at Harvard Law School and their Cyber Law Clinic,
described the exchanges as absolutely disgusting and wrote online Larry
Summers needs to resign or be pushed out of Harvard
and Summers announced Monday that he would step back from
public commitments at the university, although it was unclear if
he'll remain teaching there. In a statement to the Harvard Crimson,
(23:53):
Summers said it was part of an effort to rebuild
trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me. Wow,
so he's going to make it seem like, look, I'm
just cheating on my wife, not to mention that he's
trying to hook up a shorty. And this particular shorty
is the daughter of some prominent chi Jing Ping senior advisor.
(24:13):
And it's his university that's been nabbed in the last
several years several times for having researchers and scientists trying
to export all sorts of lab grown pathogens. Okay, that's
your typical I'm cheating on my wife with my secretary, right,
and I'm not condoning that either. I'm just saying this stuff.
(24:36):
It's amazing to me that people don't get in trouble.
It's amazing to me. I mean, since when do we
not lock up college presidents but we can lock up
everybody else. Speaking of locking up everybody else, I'm going
to get to that in the next segment. Some crazy
stuff that's going on there. But anyway, let's see what
happens with Larry Summers and his dating advice from Epstein.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Is this going to get him out? How's this whole
thing gonna end up? Who knows?
Speaker 4 (25:04):
I have no idea, But what I do know is
that I'm coming right back he'd be locked right here.
I'm Rich Valdez.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
This is America, this is America.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
The forty fifth President, Donald Trump thinks it's an honor
to speak with Rich Valdez.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Oh very good, thanks Rich.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
The honor is all yours. Conservative talk with a dash
of sofrito. Now here's Rich Valdez. All right, I mean
he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdes.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
By the way, Trumpito, now the forty seventh president as well,
got to update some of those liners. But something I
want to get into in this segment is people getting
locked up, right, because you know, it's funny. You've got
people in New York City, right, people in particular Mom Dannie.
(25:59):
But he's one of any Democrats that they don't want
to lock up anybody.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
They think it's okay.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I mean, if we look at the trajectory of what's
happened with Democrats in recent years, and this is not
just in New York City, this happens in Chicago, It's
happening all over California. But Mam Donnie says, I I
will not lock up teenagers and charge them as adults.
(26:27):
I will not lock up people that strangle somebody and
that person doesn't die, so attempted murder, you just get
a desk appearance ticket.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
You must appear in court.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
He says, he's not locking up all sorts of different
people that do all sorts of horrific crimes short of
killing people. And if we all know what's happened with
shoplifting that they like. Curtis Sliwa has said many times
it's a shame we live in a city where you
have to lock up the toothpaste, but you can't lock
up anybody else but good old mom.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Donnie. Ma'm Donnie today says you know what.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I stand behind my comments that if Benjamin Netanya who
bib Netanyaho, Prime Minister of Israel, if he comes to
New York, I will lock him up.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Check this out.
Speaker 12 (27:21):
You said you would arrest Benjamin nettyaw whose based on
the twenty twenty twenty four International Court arrest warrant next
UN General Assembly as mayor, would you do that?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
So I've said time and again that I believe this
is a city of international law, and being a city
of international law means looking to uphold international law, and
that means upholding the warrants from the International Criminal Court,
whether they're for Benjamin Netanyaw or Vladimir Putin. I think
that that's critically important to showcase our values. And unlike
Donald Trump, I'm someone who looks to exist within the
confines of the laws that we have, so I will
(27:53):
look to exhaust every legal possibility, not to create my
own laws to do so.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
On the other hand, this is also a world event.
Does that not count a little bit?
Speaker 13 (28:03):
Well?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I think we are a global city. But I also
think what New Yorkers are looking for as consistency in
the way in which we talk about our values and
follow through on them. And that's why I think these
warrants from the International Criminal Court they are worth fully
exploring every legal possibility to actually follow through on.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
So again there's Mamdani again trying to do a little
word salad there to try and get out of this.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Say, look, look, I stick with it, but we got
to do this.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
But you know, it's yes, but it's no, but it's no,
but it's yes, and it depends and thank you so much. Right,
typical politician, just trying to get out there. But we
know where his heart is at on this, right, He's
been pretty clear, He's been pretty honest. He's he's locking
up that, yeah, and he's saying, I'm not making those
laws up.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Those are the ICC laws. We observe those. What do
you want me to do? Now?
Speaker 4 (28:42):
The United States is not a party to the International
Criminal Court, So how New York City, in its sovereignty
becomes you know, it's not a signatory to the ICC,
but it's saying it's going to observe international law is
somewhat beyond me. And honestly, it begs the question, what
happens when Ed Trompito rolls up with bb net and
(29:04):
Yahoo right next to him for a photo op in
Times Square?
Speaker 5 (29:08):
What's moum done he gonna do?
Speaker 10 (29:09):
Now?
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I can imagine he's gonna go there and shout. He's
gonna go there and shout the way he's shouted at
Tom Holman.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
All right, what are you gonna do? Tom Homan? What
are you gonna do?
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Remember now, you haven't seen that video. It's a crazy
video got him elected. Will he do that to President Trump?
Will he get some brave, gutsy ballsy security detail to
try and lock up Prime Minister Net Yahoo?
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Now?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Clearly I think the answer is no. But he wants
to put on a show. Meanwhile, he's hitting up the
White House and he's like, Hey, can somebody get me
an appointment with Ed Trompito, the forty seven to forty
fifth president of these United States? Because you know now
that I'm gonna be mayor, I do want to cut
a deal with him. I'd like to get some of
that money, you know what I'm saying, because ultimately I
(29:53):
believe in Marxism and we worship at the altar of
big government. And Ed Trompito's got some of that money
I need.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
So what's that.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Hook of brother up? All right, that's where he's at. Now,
He's not the only bend the whole in this game.
You've got others, right in particular Brandon Johnson. Brandon Johnson
is the mayor of Chicago, and again, Mamdani won't arrest
(30:22):
anybody in New York City, but he's willing to lock
up Net and Yahoo. Now Johnson switches gears and just
blames Trump for absolutely everything.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 14 (30:32):
So we know that the intentional attacks that are coming
from the Trump administration and the extreme right in this
country has very much been what I call is it's
an attempt to relitigate the Civil War, right, they have
not accepted the results that the North actually won.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Hold on a second now, And it's funny you say
something bombastic like that, because it's like throwing a flurry
of punches and people just they're seeing stars right now.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
Right, she's talking about what's going on in.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Life with everything, you know, with respect to President Trump,
with the ice deportations, border patrol on the streets, sending
additional federal troops or federal law enforcement to assist with
crime that may be out of control on federal cases,
and he just goes somewhere else and says, hey, look,
(31:26):
this is all about this is truly all about racism.
Right again, this is your typical trope, I feel from
the from the left right. It's always about race. It's
never about by the way, I suck as mayor. I
don't know how to bring down crime because the last
(31:47):
five mayors before me didn't bring down crime, and bringing
down crime wasn't anybody's goal. Our job was to just
we learned how to talk about accepting crime. Not one right,
whether it's Romney, Manuel as the mayor over there, or
anybody else. None of these mayors and even their Governor
(32:08):
jab Pritzker. None of these guys really give a rats
ass about doing the right thing. So this is Brandon Johnson. Anyway,
there's a little bit left here. Go ahead, play the tape, right.
Speaker 14 (32:22):
Because if you look at all of the attacks, it's
not just black cities. He's going after education, housing, transportation,
good paying jobs, and healthcare. Those are literally the five
demands of descendants of slaves post Civil War. So it's
evident that they are not, you know, committed to actually
realizing the full dream of what this country can offer.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Wow, now listen, maybe he really believes that. And I
gotta say, this is not a young man. He's not
an old man, but he's not a young man. He
didn't he's not AOC.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
If I look at AOC, and I could say, look AOC.
She grew up without her dad, She grew up with
just her mom. She ended up going to college, and
that's where it all got to her, right, just her
upbringing and her indoctrination in college. And maybe that's what
happened to Brandon Johnson too. But the fact that he
really thinks that this is a continuation of slavery. He
(33:15):
keeps talking about education is there a single Republican that's
in charge of education. Can you find me a failing
school district in this country that's run by Republicans?
Speaker 13 (33:26):
Right?
Speaker 4 (33:27):
Maybe even if you find one, can you find ten?
Because I could find you the top ten failing districts
in this country, and I can guarantee you they're all Democrats.
This is a product of their making. So, whether it's
Brandon Johnson and his stupidity as mayor or Mamdani and
his stupidity with regard to arresting the wrong people, you've
(33:51):
seen what happens with Democrats, right, They even turn on
each other. Now you've got these guys are considered the
extremely the far left, and they're threatening Hakim Jeffries, they're
threatening Chuck Schumer, they're running candidates against them. They're banding
together because they want this movement that they've created, the
(34:15):
Bernie bros. On steroids. They want that to be the
future of the Democrat Party. And I have to say,
I think they've won already. I think they are the
future of the Democrat Party. I don't think you see
a Bobby Kennedy type of Democrat emerge from this party.
I don't think you see a Joe mansion. There's no
(34:35):
room for them. There's not even room for Schumer. There's
not even room for Jeffries. What does that tell you?
We're in pretty bad shape? Right anyway? Straight ahead, Nicki Minaj,
weis in on some stuff that I think is actually important.
Nicki Minaj. The rapper whose real name is Onika Mirage.
Not only is she beautiful, but she's also smart. More
(34:58):
to come, straight ahead, don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
This is America.
Speaker 9 (35:05):
This is America, but English or primo nomrodos Bara Rich
veald is e s nos America Alona.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
All right, I mean he goes that's this is America
a Spanol for anybody who was deeply offended by that
liner s s America speak English. Come on, pal, all right,
this is America. I am Rich Valdez at Rich Valdez
with an S on all of the social media. Thank
you all for your participation, thanks for listening, thank you
(35:42):
for being a part of the show tonight. And of
course I want to thank you for all of your
five star reviews. We've got over five hundred five star
reviews for This is America with Rich Valdez, and I
have to ask you a favor the favor I want
to ask you is you need to make sure that you.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Refer me to a friend.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Right there's a lot of people that want to listen
to the abbreviated program. It's not hours long and late
night radio, but it's an hour of pretty solid commentary,
my analysis, a crack, a couple of jokes, and I
give you the best of what I've got in this
little tiny hour. And we might extend the length to
two hours. We're considering that, but right now, just let
(36:28):
people know where to go. They could stream it on iHeartRadio.
Of course, you go to Richfaldesk dot com and you
can always send them a link. And of course, again
thank you for those five star reviews. They mean the
world to me. Anyway, I want to talk about Nicki Minaj.
Now Nicki Minaj, she is the rapper making headlines lately
because she thanked President Trump. She thanked him for having
(36:51):
the leadership to do the right thing with respect to
what's happening in Nigeria.
Speaker 5 (36:58):
Listen to this.
Speaker 15 (37:00):
To thank President Trump for by auoritizing this issue and
for leadership on the global stage and calling for urgent
action to defend Christians in Nigeria to combat extremism and
to bring a stop to violence against those who simply
want to exercise their natural right to freedom of religion
(37:20):
or belief.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
That's again Nicki minaj bringing the star Power to the
United Nations to bring attention globally to the persecution of
Christians in Nigeria. Now minaj was born in Trinidad and
Tobago and she's teaming up with President Trump and his
US Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz to speak
at an event hosted by the United States Mission to
(37:43):
the United Nations that spotlighted religious violence and the killings
of Christians in the most populous African nation. Now Minaje,
who was a rap mogul, said she wanted to speak
out against injustice and stand up for people who are
persecuted for their beliefs, saying quote, in Nigeria, Christians are
(38:04):
being targeted, driven from their homes and killed. Churches have
been burned, families have been torn apart, and entire communities
live in fear constantly simply because of how they pray,
she told attendees, and she got a very warm reception
looking at the photos. Very well dressed by the way,
and she went on to say sadly, this problem is
(38:28):
not only a growing problem in Nigeria, but also in
so many other countries around the world, and it demands
urgent action. She went on saying, I want to be clear,
protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides or
dividing people. It's about uniting humanity. Minaj, who's been a
vocal supporter of the Trump Administration's actions to combat the
(38:50):
persecution of Christians in Nigeria, seemed to distance herself from politics.
Addressing her fans directly, who she calls Barbs. She once
again said that she was not taking signs, saying Barbes,
I know you're somewhere listening. I love you so very much.
You have been the ultimate light in my life and
career for so long. I appreciate you, and I want
(39:12):
to make it very clear once again that this isn't
about taking sides. This is about standing up in the
face of injustice. It's about what I've always stood for
my entire career, and I will continue to stand for
that the rest of my life. I will care if
anyone anywhere is being persecuted for their beliefs, and again
(39:35):
that's Nicki Minaj, of course, former National Security advisor, and
now you an ambassador for the United Nations or US
Ambassador to the United Nations, I should say. Mike Waltz
also said that the killing of Christians in Nigeria is
a genocide wearing the mask of chaos. There is a
(39:56):
body of evidence, and you're going to hear from our
experts today that paints a very grim picture of disproportionate
suffering amongst Christians, where again, families are torn apart, clergy
is repeatedly assassinated, and entire congregations, church congregations just wiped out.
(40:17):
Finishing with this, he said, folks, we have an entire
faith that is being erased, one bullet at a time,
one torched Bible at a time. Strong words from Mike Waltz,
and I gotta tell you, I'm very proud of the
administration for the position that they've taken here. I'm very
(40:38):
proud of Nicki Minaj for having the courage to do that.
Because every now and again, when rappers or celebrities take
positions that are against what many would expect people in
Hollywood to take, they get roasted, they get crucified, they
get bombarded with hate from their peers in popular culture,
(41:01):
and ultimately this is not This is why I don't
hate when the lefties in Hollywood say what they say.
I mean, I can, I'll criticize, but I don't hate them.
This is why I don't say I'll never watch another
Robert the Nero movie, or I'm never gonna go to
the Bad Bunny concert at the super Bowl. I don't
say any of those things. And the reason why because
(41:21):
I am not about to hate somebody because they think
differently than me. Because most of my life, I've been
a conservative. All of my life. I've been an American
of Puerto Rican heritage. And when you're a conservative American
of Puerto Rican heritage, guess what, a lot of people
look at you funny. A lot of people think you're different.
(41:43):
And guess what.
Speaker 5 (41:44):
I was different, and I didn't mind being different.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
You know.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
When I was a teenager, I started going to an
Evangelical church. I'd grown up Catholic. I wanted to try
and live my life as best I could for Jesus
and again try being nineteen in my neighborhood, and I
was pretty successful. I owned a barbershop at that age.
And you know, I'd meet girls and they were just like,
(42:09):
what do you mean, You're just trying to focus on
your business or this. You know, people take you the
wrong way sometimes and it's not always easy to take
a stand for what you believe is right. So kudos
again to Nicki Minaj. Sounds like Ambassador Waltz is the
right choice to be leading the charged there, plus his
(42:30):
background as National Security advisor and his time in Congress,
I think help him as well as his military career.
Speaker 5 (42:37):
So again kudos to all of them. And my final
thoughts are coming up.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
I want to talk about the impact that artificial intelligence
is having on the fake news.
Speaker 5 (42:47):
More on that. When we return, don't go anywhere. I'm
Rich Valdez.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
This is America. This is America, all right.
Speaker 4 (43:02):
I mean, he goes, welcome back, Rich Valdez, keeping your company,
Rich Valdes Valdez with an s at Rich Valdesz on
all of the social media.
Speaker 5 (43:09):
And you might recall.
Speaker 4 (43:11):
A couple of weeks ago there was controversy because a
female patron at a gym was ejected from the gym.
Speaker 5 (43:18):
Right they said, hey, lady, you gotta go.
Speaker 4 (43:20):
Why because she complained that there was a man in
her locker room, you know, walking around with his dingling out.
He claimed to be a trans woman, but she claimed
he was a man with a penis. So this was
a big deal, obviously making headlines. And I'll remind you
of that audio if you needed. But Joy Reid weighed
in on this, and guess what Joy read Now she's
(43:44):
sort of in agreement, right. She was on I think
with a family member of hers doing a video podcast
and a very interesting perspective that Joy Reid had. I
want you to listen to this.
Speaker 10 (43:57):
There would be women walking around, women walking around with
their boobies dangling, swinging in the breeze. And it's not
even like perky boobies, just boobies drooping to their knees.
They kicking their boobies down the street. And they want
to walk up and have a conversation with you. And
I'm like, don't walk up to me with no clothes
on and talk to me. I don't want to talk
to you.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
So Joy Reid says she doesn't want to talk to
anybody who's naked. Listen, I don't blame her. The last
thing I want to do is start having naked conversation
in the gym. I wasn't really an athlete growing up,
so you know, I'm not sort of used to that.
But be it as it may, I think it's a
lot more common when it's people you know in the
(44:37):
same locker room than it is someone that you know.
This woman is in the locker room trying to get dressed.
She's expecting dangling boobies, as she said, and instead what
does she find a dangling No, no, no, she says,
listen to this.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
I would be disturbed. I'm telling you, I would be alarmed.
Speaker 10 (44:56):
I'm alarmed enough when I see a woman with her
dangling boobies. If I saw a penis in the ladies
rocking room, I would freak out too. This is this
is just I mean, this is nothing against trans anybody.
What is saying is I turn around and I see
a peepye a penis in front of me inside of
(45:18):
the room. I would probably go to management and say,
wait a minute, why is there somebody a naked man
in this room?
Speaker 4 (45:23):
Now hold on a second, joy, because that's exactly what
Tish Hyman, the Grammy Award winning songwriter, did at a
Los Angeles Jim Gold's gym. She went to management and said,
excuse me, there is a man, a naked man in there.
I am incredibly uncomfortable. I am a naked woman. There
is a naked man in front of me. I don't
(45:44):
feel safe and this is wrong. And guess what, they
kicked her out of the gym. Now, Joy Reid, I
want you to just finish playing this clip.
Speaker 10 (45:53):
Go ahead, because just the world we live in, just
from a safety standpoint and just from a you know,
from a prime fabacy standpoint, I would so I can
see why she would have gone and reported to management
there's a man naked in the bank. Now if they
clarified and they said, well, trans okay, But I think
they should take her concerns also seriously, because if she's uncomfortable,
(46:16):
does she not have the right to be at least
uncomfortable with this situation? Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (46:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Take the woman's opinion and her
complaints seriously, and listen, this is Joy Reid. It doesn't
come more left wing than Joy Reid. And she herself
said this has nothing to do as an anti trance thing.
It's just having a respect for women thing. Now me personally,
I think listen, we didn't grow up in Europe, and
(46:42):
Europe everybody's changing in front of everybody and that's the
normal thing.
Speaker 5 (46:45):
We're not there.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
I guess maybe they're trying to bring that European Hey,
let's all go to the same steam room. Let's all,
we're not there yet. This isn't the red light District.
This is the United States, and we still have these
these gender boundaries, if you will, and I'm okay with them.
I personally, if my daughter was at the gym, I
wouldn't want either of my kids to be a in
(47:07):
a situation where they're uncomfortable or be around naked dudes.
Speaker 5 (47:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (47:11):
We just again, that's not how our society works in
the United States. If they were brought up that way
and it was no big thing but a dingling, then hey,
no problem. Oh but that's not the case. Now again,
I want to remind you that this is what happened
with the woman again in LA And I've got a
clip on that.
Speaker 5 (47:32):
Bring up that clip for me.
Speaker 4 (47:34):
This is her immediate reaction upon coming out of the gym.
Speaker 5 (47:40):
Go step mad, bro mad.
Speaker 16 (47:44):
With big decks and a woman's locker at and that's
why I'm getting kicked out and I want to make
short across now I stop. Everybody saw that man, no
fucking locker role. No one says shit, And I'm fucking
(48:06):
done with that. Yes you still thanks?
Speaker 5 (48:10):
And such a boy. Now she wasn't done. She went
on me making in front of a man, but I
might have one who.
Speaker 17 (48:21):
I'm talking that day for not wanting men.
Speaker 5 (48:24):
In the locker role.
Speaker 4 (48:25):
For there, she's terminated for not wanting men in the
locker room. Now again, this is an unfortunate thing because
it didn't end there. This man and again, this man
is he looks like a man, he's not. You know,
they're gonna argue you can't determine who identifies as what.
But he looks like a gay guy. He doesn't look
like a woman per se to me. But he followed
(48:49):
her into the women's room, called her a bitch quote
from her Twitter post of November two, and she ran
out of the locker room crying and screaming. She says,
this is why we can't be quiet, because people need
to know what's happening. Thank you to the man who
helped her today. Listen to this exchange again. This is
a video of this woman confronting this man after he
(49:11):
called her a bitch for kicking him out.
Speaker 5 (49:14):
Of the women's locker room. Oh you did.
Speaker 17 (49:17):
You tell me or not? That woman like to dig
exactly exactly.
Speaker 4 (49:24):
No, now mind you, I just give you a little
play by play here. That is the man arguing with her,
and a very tall Asian man gets in that man's
face and he's in her defense.
Speaker 5 (49:35):
Good for him.
Speaker 17 (49:36):
Now he knows how to be a man. Right now,
he knows how to be a man. Stay out of
the woman's locker room. Remember, we don't want it to
He needs to have evoked for that ship. And the
woman told you, the girl told already. We already follow reports.
Speaker 16 (49:53):
No, no, no, the video.
Speaker 5 (49:56):
You can't give it to me for this.
Speaker 17 (49:58):
I'm a woman and I have every right I want
a man in the restroom when I'm naked. There are
girls naked in there. Look at him walking in there
like it's okay.
Speaker 4 (50:05):
It's not okay, it's not okay. Well again, this was
the big deal here. And let me tell you. I
gotta tell you this woman, she's not a conservative, she's
not anything. I have no affiliation with her. She's just right,
(50:27):
she's right. Now. Of course, the Jim could turn around
and say, look, this is our policy. We allow this,
and if you don't like it, you can leave. And
that's what they did, right, They told her to leave.
And I think that's a bad move because what type
of standard are we setting here? What type of future
do people look into?
Speaker 5 (50:45):
You know what I should look into? Excuse me?
Speaker 4 (50:48):
What kind of future can people expect where there's absolutely no.
Speaker 5 (50:54):
Thought of safety?
Speaker 4 (50:56):
Now again, if they want to take the position to
forget that they're trans people and that we don't have
a mend's room, we don't have we have unisex changing rooms,
then do that or what I would recommend, just have
a third a.
Speaker 5 (51:08):
Gender non conforming, gender neutral. Right.
Speaker 4 (51:12):
Used to work for a big radio company and they
had gender neutral bathroom. As a matter of fact, that
the bathroom closest to my studio in the World Trade
Center is the gender neutral bathroom. It's a very nice bathroom,
by the way, but no urinal in it. It's the
gender neutral bathroom. And I think you should have a
(51:33):
gender neutral training area, changing area, whatever you want to have. Right,
if you're gonna have to play this game, you're gonna
have to play it that way. Right, They have the
family bathroom in a lot of places. You can do
that right. You can do a family bathroom slash gender
neutral right so that the people that identify as other
(51:56):
than can go there. But to start alienating against people
because they're and again I can't say because she's straight,
she's not. She identifies as a black lesbian. She said
it a bunch of different times in her videos that
she's made. She met with some folks in the California
Legislature and was in their face and said, look, as
a black lesbian, I don't understand how you could say
(52:18):
that I'm transphobic, or I'm this, or I'm that. She said,
I'm not being racist, I'm being a matter of fact
that the trans guy he looked like either was white
or hispanic. So again, this isn't one of those things
where I could say it's the left, dude. No, it's
it's the left going too far to the left. It's
the left falling off the map because they're trying to
literally cut off their nose in order to spike their
(52:40):
own face. Crazy town, crazy town. Shame on the La
Golds Gym, and kudos to Tish Hyman anyway, I mean,
he goes straight ahead we're going to talk about Mamdani,
the mayor elect of New York City. He says he
will not arrest anybody in town, but he might just
arrest bb net and Yahoo if he shows face in NYC.
Speaker 5 (53:03):
Ay even die though. Guess what.
Speaker 4 (53:06):
Nicki Minaj comes out in defense of President Trump's support
for Christians getting slaughtered in Africa.
Speaker 5 (53:12):
Don't go anywhere.
Speaker 1 (53:14):
This is America. This is America.
Speaker 12 (53:22):
He's making podcasting great again.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
This is America with rich Valdez.
Speaker 14 (53:31):
All right.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
I mean he goes welcome back, and I want to
I want you to hear a clip. And this is
a clip, an interesting one. It's about immigration. And I
want to talk about what's going on with immigration because
a lot of people are falling apart on this very issue,
even people that support immigration now saying it's going too far,
(53:52):
it's getting too rough. And I think there's a reason
for that, and the reason for that is not necessarily
the truth or the facts. I think, sadly, what's happening
is that you've got some people out there, in particular
right now in the media, others in the Democrat Party
or you know, just opposition to President Trump and the
(54:15):
America First agenda and Congresswoman Alma Adams. She made a
video today from Charlotte, North Carolina, talking about ice.
Speaker 5 (54:26):
Just listen to.
Speaker 13 (54:27):
This, Charlotte. Our community is under siege. Ice and border
patrol are roaming this community, profiling people, picking people up.
It does not matter who you are. You can be
an immigrant, you can be legal, illegal, or US citizen.
They're picking people up. It's my understanding that almost one
hundred people or maybe more have been picked up already.
(54:49):
So I'm urging each of you please be careful. If
there are things that you see that should not be
please report those to my office immediately, and please be careful.
Speaker 4 (55:02):
Again, that's congress Woman Adams there. But there are videos
out there that are being spammed all over the place.
These are dehumanizing videos that depict immigration enforcement and cops.
Because people who are into this issue, the algorithm rewards
that they're making a ton of money on this. The
(55:23):
only problem is they're not real. They're AI and this
is duping people.
Speaker 5 (55:32):
Left and right.
Speaker 4 (55:32):
These AI generated videos that are brutal. They're brutal to watch.
I'm looking at articles in Yahoo News and BBC even
they're reporting on this, but AI generated videos on a
platform called Soro, which comes from open Ai. There are
videos of ice raids and ice arrests that are just
(55:54):
again brutal to watch. You got one where they're ripping
a guy out of a Walmart, female officer thrown up
against a police car. Then you've got another one with
a woman whose hair is very disheveled and she's being
grabbed by a white officer with a bald head. Interestingly,
all these and almost all these videos, you could see
(56:18):
the face of the ice officers, and they don't have
the right uniforms. They're locking people up and putting them
in cars that say police. They don't have the right
emblem or badge on their uniforms, but you know their
bulletproof vests as like police ice. And all of these
videos characteristically have the same two United States flag emojis
(56:44):
at the top of the screen, and they're getting quite
a lot of action online. They're going viral. Like I said,
people see these things. There's one where they grab the mom.
Another officer grabs the baby out of her arms. Everybody's crying.
She's screaming, my baby. They grab or they toss her
in the back of a car. And I mean here's
a script for one of them. Watch your steps, sir,
(57:05):
keep moving. A police officer with a vest that reads
ICE and a patch that reads poists poic says to
a Latino appearing man wearing a Walmart employee vest. He
leads them towards a bus that reads Immigration and serves,
and next to him, one of his colleagues begins walking
unnaturally sideways, one leg impossibly darting through another as he
(57:28):
leads to the back of the line and other Latino
Walmart employees are apparently being detained by Ice. In this video,
two American flag emojis are superimposed at the top of
the video, and the text on it just says deportation.
This video, it's got four million views, sixteen thousand, six
hundred likes, nineteen hundred comments, and twenty two hundred shares
(57:53):
on Facebook alone, and again it was obviously generated by
open Aiyes Sora. Now, many of these videos that are
generated by Sora, they have a Sora watermark that appears
on the screen, but these don't. And it's just really interesting. Again,
this is a piece in four oh four Media, the
(58:13):
news website. Some of the comments seem to understand why
the guy's walking the way is. One of the commenters says, AI,
it's because of the artificial intelligence. The guy's foot goes
through his own leg. Another guy says many of the
comments clearly do not understand. You'll find lots of them
at Walmart. Another top comment reads Walmart doesn't do paperwork
(58:34):
before they hire you. Another one says they're removing zombies
from Walmart before Halloween. I mean, it just goes on
and on, but I mean this is wild stuff. I mean,
the bottom line here, it's forget about the comments. What's
wild about this is that it's not real. These are
not real ice rates. This is the rhetoric that people
(58:56):
are spouting online. This is all these congres people out
there on the news talking about they're disappearing people, they're
kidnapping people, they're doing this, they're separating families, right, and
then they're creating this false imagery of false statements that
are being said when this isn't happening. Now, I've set
time and again if anybody listens to this show, or
(59:19):
to my radio show, or anytime I've spoken on television,
I always say it, get me the video right. One
guy called into my radio show not that long ago,
and he said to me, I'm a Chicago cop and
I got it to you, and I support Trump. But
what they're doing in Chicago, what I saw the other
day when they grabbed that five year old at gunpoint,
(59:40):
put them on the ground.
Speaker 5 (59:41):
And I said, you didn't get a video. You're a
Chicago cop.
Speaker 4 (59:44):
You saw a crime in progress, you saw federal officers
overstep in their boundary.
Speaker 5 (59:48):
Did nothing. He stayed quiet. He yelled at me, what
do you.
Speaker 4 (59:51):
Mean, You're trying to say, I'm not a cop, trying
to call me a liar. I said, no, I'm trying
to call you a coward. And then I said, yes,
I am calling you a liar. Anyway, the point was,
these people make stuff up. These are trolls, and I'm
not saying that this is impossible. Of course, there's a
possibility that douchebag people can do douchebag things, but the
fact is it's not happening. The majority of the people
(01:00:14):
working in federal law enforcement, in state and local law enforcement,
and law enforcement as a whole, are not here trying
to harm people. That's just the bottom line. This is
from my experience as a police chaplain, from my experience
with two brothers that were on the job and the NYPD.
My brother finished NYPD, went back, became a FED who's
assistant Federal Security Director at JFK Airport in charge of
(01:00:37):
law enforcement investigations for the Department of Homeland Security. And
I can tell you that I've met so many of
his colleagues, and I've never seen people that were out
there to get people good people. They were only out
there to get the bad guys. So my point in
saying this is they create these images and then while ah,
(01:00:59):
we've got situation where people say, oh, but I saw it,
I believe it, it's real, And now their emotions are
all inflamed and they're like, this is crazy, this looks
like Nazi Germany. Trump really is a fascist? When this
isn't happening at all. It's not happening. It's fake, it's phony,
it's fraud. So I want to bring that to your attention. See,
can you tell your friends, because this here is a problem.
(01:01:20):
And I've seen the same problem exist on the other side,
fake videos, crazy stuff that couldn't be proven. For all
I know, there were clips from horror movies back in
twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, and people were passing
them off as Hillary Clinton at a spirit cooking event
(01:01:41):
eating children, this, that and the other. You know, I mean,
just bloody, gory stuff that you can't make out who's
in the video. And then they go, oh, no, I
saw the video, but it must have been taken down right.
Somebody says that in a tweet, some anonymous person, you know,
like like I love my country sixty nine sixty nine
seven three four, ABC one two three, write some anonymous
(01:02:03):
tweeter and while all of a sudden, this is factually
true because it's something that you suspect it could have
been true, and now eight billion people will share it
and there's zero truth to it. That is, my friends,
what we call propaganda fake news, and you and I
have to stand against it. Reagan called on us to
be informed patriots. I think we need to do that.
(01:02:24):
El Trompito called on us to call out the fake news.
Look at the fake news. Look at him right there.
And I'm calling on you to stand for something, because
if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything.
Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
I start up.
Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
Roxim, my friends, take care, good night, and God bless you,
and he goes I'm rich Valdes and this is America.
Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
This is America.
