Shooting, Stymie, Syndication on Roku TV

On Friday, Rich discusses the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a male nurse who impeded an ICE action and went for a gun he had holstered in the midst of resisting apprehension by ICE. Then, Democrats in Congress vow to stymie ICE funding in their next vote. Plus, Rich hosts a press conference to reveal the details of his streaming video project - a streaming television syndication deal to offer his show (translated into Spanish via AI) to 90 million subscribed homes on Roku TV - the largest streaming provider in North America. This is a collaboration with the iconic merengue singer Raul Acosta of Oro Solido fame.

Rich Valdes Signs Roku Syndication Deal with Latin Music Icon Raul Acosta (Oro Solido) for Spanish-Dubbed Talk Show from Times Square Studio

America's Liberty-Loving Latino Expands Upbeat Commentary to Bilingual Audiences, Available to Roku's 90 Million + Subscribers in the US, the Caribbean, and Latin America.

New York, NY – January 23, 2026 – Global Media Federation (GMF), led by Latin music icon Raul Acosta, and its streaming network Festiva TV, today proudly announced the signing of acclaimed broadcaster Rich Valdes for a forward-thinking syndication partnership. This collaboration delivers Valdes’ popular late-night show exclusively in Spanish to Roku’s 90 million+ subscribed households, while unveiling the network’s new cutting-edge streaming TV studio overlooking iconic Times Square as the production hub.

The deal marks Festiva TV’s strategic expansion beyond its core music offerings into high-quality news and commentary programming, bringing Valdes’ signature upbeat conservative commentary—covering current events, culture, and faith with Puerto Rican flair—to a massive Spanish-speaking audience via AI-dubbed content. The program to be available at 9:00 pm EST and is syndicated exclusively on Roku through Festiva TV (in Spanish).

Acosta, the visionary behind GMF and creator of the merengue band Oro Solido, approached Valdes for this first-of-its-kind collaboration, recognizing him as one of the top hosts in the country and the most recognized Hispanic broadcaster in conservative talk media—highlighted by his hand-picked succession to the legendary late-night syndicated timeslot once held by Larry King and Jim Bohannon, plus frequent commentaries on Newsmax TV.

 “Given the shifting political tides in the Caribbean and Latin America, choosing Rich Valdes as a syndication partner for our Roku channel was a no-brainer,” said Acosta. “He’s nationally recognized, extremely talented, attracts high-quality guests, and his personality and clear perspective are exactly what our audience is looking for as we grow Festiva TV into a premier destination for news and commentary.”This strategic alliance enables true bilingual access: audiences can continue enjoying Valdes in English on iHeartRadio and other platforms, while viewers can now watch the AI-dubbed Spanish version on Roku and major streaming devices, including Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV.

The partnership fills a key market gap by delivering sophisticated U.S.-based conservative content tailored to Hispanic viewers across the U.S., Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, and beyond. Production will originate from Valdes’ new flagship streaming studio in the heart of Times Square, featuring panoramic views of the landmark Times Square view and supporting dynamic town-hall discussions and in-depth interviews.“It’s a blessing to partner with Raul Acosta and Festiva TV to bring my show ‘En Español’ to tens of millions on Roku,” said Valdes. “This allows us to reach new audiences in Spanish while I remain completely open to English syndication opportunities across terrestrial radio, cable television, and streaming platforms like Rumble—building on my ongoing work in those spaces.”

Festiva TV, with over 60 channels and 20 streaming radio options, is excited to delve deeper into talk shows and commentary as part of its evolution into a full-spectrum entertainment and information platform. Streaming begins in February. For show schedules, streaming details, and updates, visit www.richvaldes.com or search for Festiva TV in the Roku Channel Store.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is America with Rich Valdez, powered by poliitweek dot
com and.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Rich Valdees is with US former Christian Administration official.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
You work at Chris Christie and follows each on a
lot of public service stuff. Rich Valdez calumnist now with
the Washington Times.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
This is America, Richiev.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
You're on the air with a Nation Nation with America.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
With your host, Rich Valdez.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
What's up, America, I am Rich Valdez. Valdeza then asked
that Rich Valdez on all of the social media, welcome
to the program. Happy Friday, to your big day today.
And toward the end of the program, I'm going to
play the announcement that we have. I mentioned that I'd
be making an announcement in January. It is January twenty third,
and I will be making that announcement. So welcome to

(00:46):
the program. I am Rich Valdez at Rich Valdez on
all of the social media. I may or may not
have said that already. And we are seventeen miles away
from Madison Square Garden. Actually it's really seventeen blocks. We
have a new studio now. But anyway, I want to
get into a number of things because there's a shooting
that has a lot of people and rightly so right,

(01:09):
people should always be concerned with shooting. Shootings shouldn't be
a normal thing, right. We shouldn't be like Chicago where
we go wow, I mean by yeah, Mada, I don't know,
through Hio and they do. No. No, we can't do that.
We can't just lament that they shot another person. Ah,
too bad, poor thing. No, it's important that we have feelings,
that we have humanity and we actually take stuff seriously.
But what I want to get into here is this

(01:32):
this shooting, right, because this shooting is complicated, right, And
some people are going to say, oh my gosh, the
ice thugs are out there killing people in the streets.
Others are going to say, how could you just sit
there and blindly defend the police. I'm going to say
that shootings are not an open and shut thing, right,
And I guess they can be. Right. If you're the
judge and this comes to you as the judge, you're

(01:54):
going to have to figure out, right, did this officer
intend to harm this person for like no good reason
or was this a defensive shooting. Now we've seen a
million in two videos that are starting to come out.
It's clear to me that every cop there, every ice officer,
was trying to remove the gun, secure the gun, make

(02:16):
sure they don't get shot by the gun that was
on mister Pretty. I wish I had his name in
front of me. Forgive me for being so prepared, but
you know what I'm talking about, this guy, the male nurse.
Let me stop umming and actually just look up his name.
I think it's Ryan Pretty, right, Ryan. Maybe it's not
Ryan Pretty, maybe it's something else. I know those of

(02:38):
you who know it are like, hey, it's not that,
it's this Alex Pretty. Excuse me. I think he was
referred to as Ryan Pretty and some of the initial reports. Okay,
so it wasn't me right as it came out, this
guy Alex Pretty, male nurse. Anyway, he was shot right,
he had a gun on him and he was interfering
in this investigation. Now by interfering or impeding, what is

(03:00):
meant by that is, Hey, we're here to lock up
this guy, and somebody gets in front of the cops,
they deal with that guy, and then when they're about
to deal with that guy, telling this guy, hey, get
out of the way, get over here and move over here.
Don't do this. This guy comes to aid the guy
that they're talking to. That's who in their right mind
does this? Right? Number one? Really, who in their right
mind does that. This has nothing to do with you
have a Second Amendment right? Do you have the right

(03:20):
to conceal care? None of that really matters in this instance.
What matters here is if I see five or six
guys with masks on, with guns on their hips, shirts
that say HSI ice Border Patrol, whatever, it's my cue
to not be there, because they're clearly not here for me, right,
clearly not here for me. I have no business with

(03:41):
those people. So what do you do when you see
a police car behind you with the lights on? What
do you do? You pull over? You let them go
around you, and you move on with your business. Well,
this guy didn't do that, right now, Dana Bash. She
tried to make it into something that it wasn't right.
She tried to make it in to it's one's natural

(04:02):
instinct to help someone automatically assuming the victim role, that
this guy that's agitating the police and likely engaging in
the commission of a federal crime, that he's somehow the victim.
Listen to this. This is Dana Bash on CBS. Nope,
CNN forgive me interviewing Greg Bobino, United States Border.

Speaker 6 (04:27):
Patrol to us from every angle, Sir, that he was
approached by them when he was helping another individual who
was pushed down. What evidence do you have that he
was assaulting any law enforcement Dania.

Speaker 7 (04:41):
We don't need a suspect's help in an active law
enforcement scene.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
When you say suspect, what does he suspected help?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Ma'am? He is suspected of impeding a law enforcement investigation
by these federal agents who are clearly conducting that one
had just maced a guy. The guy's on the ground.
Why would you think he's not suspected of doing something.
I mean, come on, you're supposed to be the top
tier of journalism here at sin and right, wink wink.

Speaker 7 (05:07):
That's an active law enforcement scene. He knew that was
an active law enforcement scene, especially when the officers approached him,
and is very evident he did not need to be
where he.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Was when somebody is pushed down, and a person's instinct
is to help that person. When somebody's pushed down by
law enforcement, you're saying that you just stand back and
let law enforcement do what they're doing.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I would say, you know, Greg Bovino, Sarah, you always
do these great videos. Where were you within this? Why
did you say hell yeah, hell yeah, with a green machine,
green lean, green machine, right, I mean, come on, I
was waiting for some of that tough talk. I like
this guy. I think he's terrific. But let's be clear here.
I guess he didn't want to put, you know, get
a little wild there, because you know, somebody's life was

(05:50):
just lost. But and I understand that again. Henceforth, why
I don't work in government. I have zero kuth for
things like this. I would take this woman to task.
And the reason I would because she's out of line.
She's making this automatic presumption. Every question that she asks
presumes that somehow they are at fault by default. Cops bad,

(06:12):
border patrol bad, ice bad. This is automatically assumed in
her narrative, and in real life that's not the case.
Now that may be the reality for some people, it's
never been my reality. And I have been pulled over
by cops that were doing the wrong thing. Right I
was when I was a kid. I remember that stuff

(06:34):
like yesterday on more than one occasion that's happened to me.
But I still know if you give me ten cops,
I'm gonna put my money on nine of them, if
not all ten. In most situations trying to do the
right thing, And that's what happened here. Yeahead played the tape.

Speaker 7 (06:55):
You know, Dana, every situation is different. What our officers
are faced with here in Minneapolis are chaotic, very difficult,
and violent situations in which individuals in this suspect is
not the only one to bring a loaded weapon to
a riot. The situations are chaotic and ever changing. Follow

(07:15):
directions for law enforcement. Don't inject yourself knowingly beforehand into
a law enforcement which situation.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
With respect, it feels as though in some ways you're
blaming the victim here.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
The victims are the bord of patratl agence. I'm not
blaming the border of patal agents. The victim are the
border batual agents. The suspect put himself in that situation.
The victims are the border batal agents there.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
I just want to also go back to what I
was asking about with regard to what Secretary Nome said
that he was brandishing a gun at any point, Do
you have any evidence that yes, he might. He had
a gun on his person. Was he brandishing it?

Speaker 7 (07:57):
We heard the law enforcement officer say gun, gun, gun,
So at some point they knew there was a gun.
So again that is going to be part of that
investigation as to what was happening on the ground there
between those victims, the Border Patrol agent victims, and the suspect, it.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
Looks it looks like this. The guy gets involved in
something he shouldn't be involved in. Right, That is wrong.
I want to be very clear here. I'm not saying
the man should be dead today. I am saying that
he got involved in something he should not be involved in,
and Dana ash is trying to get everybody else hurt.
You don't jump into things. You don't see the cops

(08:38):
struggling to put handcuffs on somebody and come to their aid.
You don't see the cops macing someone and coming to
their aid. You don't see the cops shoving someone out
of the way and come to their aid. Why because
that's their business, that's the police dealing with this individual.
And why because you're the next one that's going and

(09:00):
they get pushed to the ground, maced and handcuffed. Now,
if you don't know how to put that math together,
that two plus two, if that doesn't make four in
your mind, go right ahead, go right ahead. I mean,
look at the bassa watch what's gonna happen to you.
I'm gonna recommend you don't do that, because look at
what happened to mister pretty right. This is a real

(09:22):
situation of he got involved in something and you can't
do that there. It's indefensible what he did, in my opinion, indefensible.
You see six or seven border patrol agents because you
have listened to your idiot mayor, or you've listened to
your idiot governor Tim Walls, or these talking heads on television.
Listen this lady, Dana Perino. I'm sorry I keep calling

(09:44):
her Dana Prina, Dana Bash. Excuse me. Dana Perno's actually
ten times better than this woman. But Dana Bash is
telling these people these things. She's never gonna be on
the streets there. She's got a comfy anchor gig. Listen.
I'm never gonna be on the streets there either. That's
not my thing. There's never been a day in my

(10:05):
life where I said, you know what, today, I'm going
to go and interfere with the police. It's never happened that,
I doubt it ever will. But bottom line is, they
get into a thing and you got four or five
guys trying to get this guy down. Give me your hands,
give me your hands, let me see your hands, and
his hands are going all over the place except where
they need to go. Now, somebody sees that he has

(10:28):
a gun and a holster. They yell gun. Now you
yell gun to a bunch of cops, what do you
think happens? Yeah, they grab theirs because they have to
shoot you before you shoot them. That is the rule. Now,
if you want to argue that cops shouldn't have guns,
go right ahead. If you want to argue that cops
shouldn't be able to shoot people to defend themselves, you
can argue that till you turn blue in the face.

(10:51):
But that is their principal tool, right, I mean, besides
their walkie talking to get back up. This is what
cops are known for. They're known for carrying guns. One
cop is able to secure the gun, he gets it off,
he probably screams, I got the gun. But that doesn't
mean that with everybody else yelling and trying to get

(11:12):
this guy under control. That they hear that. It also
doesn't help that this guy's not trying to lay down,
he's not trying to cooperate. He's trying to get up.
He's wrestling with the cops, and he reaches with his
right hand for his holster. Now, the guy who took
the gun knows he's got the gun. The guy who

(11:34):
pulls out his gun when he hears gun knows that
if this guy goes for his gun, he's toasted. Well
what did the guy do. He went for his gun.
It's on video if you look at the slow freeze
frame video at the end. He goes right for his gun,
it's not there, and he gets shot. In my opinion,
neither the gentleman that was killed nor the agent doing

(11:56):
the shooting knew that that gun wasn't there. Now, I
am not a trainer in any law enforcement capacity, but
I can tell you these are split second decisions that
these people have to make, and I would recommend they
make that decision every single time. If there's a better
way to handle that in split seconds, go right ahead.
I don't think we changed the rule book here because

(12:17):
this guy decided to go help the other guy help
quote unquote help. It's really called interfering. They know what's
going on, right, This guy knows exactly what's going on.
He knew that he was out in these streets where
ice is, where border patrol is, where federal law enforcement is.
They're doing all this. You don't get into a tussle
with the cops knowing you've got a gun on you. Right,

(12:39):
there's rules to having guns, and you typically you want
to be as safe as possible. Getting yourself into a
fight is not one of them. That's not one of
those safe rules. So I feel badly for this man,
you know, I feel badly for anyone that dies. But
when somebody says, hey, what happened to guy? Oh that

(13:00):
guy he jumped right in front of him a mac
truck going fifty miles an hour. Oh man, that sucks. Right,
You feel bad for the person, But you never stop
and say did he think that he was gonna like
bounce off of it and live? Right? Did this guy
think that by doing this he wasn't gonna get shot?
He's out of his mind, And that needs to be

(13:22):
the message for every American. If you see a bunch
of men with guns and you yourself. Are a man
with a gun and you get involved in an altercation
with the group of men with guns, cops are not.
You run the risk of getting shot. You know how,
you don't get shot. Don't get involved in that mess.

(13:45):
Bunto e p period the end. Now, I am not
lacking compassion. I feel badly for this man. I feel
badly that. You know my mother, My mother always just
tell me mate, I bobo, yeah, listen, kid, don't don't
be an idiot. I think this guy was acting foolishly.
He was acting foolishly because of his emotions. His emotions

(14:09):
got the better of him. Like so many people, people
that are posting saying this is absolutely crazy. We're becoming
a fascist state, these Nazis. People need to take a beat.
People need to take a breath and realize that the
government the police. I don't like the government, and I
support the police because I believe they do an incredibly

(14:30):
difficult job and I've known many of them very very
well in life, and they're good people that put themselves
at risk because of their service, minded attitude and outlook
on life. Most cops are good people that want to
help people. Most it's a taxing job. It's like being
a soldier, it's like being a nurse. These are all

(14:50):
difficult jobs or people give of themselves and a high
burnout right oftentimes things. I oftentimes think that one of
the closest things to being a cop is being a nurse,
because you leave so much of yourself emotionally in each shift.
You see things that change you for life on a
daily basis. That's not easy. Most of us don't do

(15:16):
that on a daily basis. I for sure don't. I
watch crazy videos, but I can you know I'm not
living the crazy video. I'm watching the crazy video. So
I salute everybody that's a nurse. I salute everybody in
law enforcement. Not easy, and I salute people that use
their right to free speech and believe in protest. I do.

(15:38):
And this man should be at a safe distance, like
every other protester should be holding a sign, chanting their chance,
saying whatever they want. But you don't go putting hands
on cops. You don't get involved in someone at the
cops are physically involved with. I mean, I can't believe
as an adult I'm telling anybody this, but some people

(16:01):
allow their emotions to just really dictate everything, and for them.
It's real quick. Bottom line that guy should be alive.
The cops should never kill him. Well, the cops wouldn't
have killed him if he wouldn't have gotten involved with
the cops. It's pretty simple. And it's heartbreaking, it really is.
It is heartbreaking when you look at this stuff, It's like, wow,
because of four clips on TikTok and three on Instagram

(16:25):
and two on Facebook, you now have become this hateful
person that thinks it's okay to go and scream and
spit and yell and drop f bombs on cops and
on everybody else. I mean, since when is that protest? Now? Again?
You could say that, look doesn't say we have to
be polite, all right, Look, it doesn't hang up your sign,

(16:46):
wave your banner, do it from across the street. Don't
get in anybody's face, anybody's face, right. These people that
think it's considered peaceful protests to take a bullhorn at
one of those sirens and blast it in somebody's ear,
or to slam a cow bell, you know, inches from
somebody's timpanium. That is not peaceful protest. That is injuring

(17:09):
someone's eardrum. And the more of these things I see,
the more I think these people are delusional. The ones
that are starting it know exactly what's going on. They're instigators,
they know that they're looking for trouble. They know what
they're doing. But there's a lot of unsuspecting people that
think they're just doing the right thing. They think that, Man,

(17:30):
I've seen enough of this. How many times do I
have to see another person get harmed? These are hard
working illegal immigrants that have a right to live in
this country. Go home. You're not even a trained cop anymore, right,
I mean, the type of things they're saying about these
ice guys, it's just incredible to me, the fact that
we start at a place where they're bad and the
bad guys are good. Now, listen, I'm not saying every

(17:53):
illegal immigrant is a bad human. I'm not even one
of those people that'll say the mere fact that they
came here and they're not and their visas over stated
makes them a criminal. I don't believe. I think staying
here if you're as criminal as anybody else who's missed
some sort of paper deadline. Right, these are not people
that are raping children and robbing people at gunpoint. That's

(18:15):
a criminal to me. But at the same time, lawful
versus unlawful is a thing. When I got my car booted,
that was on me, right, Whether I knew I had
those tickets or not, that was on me. I wasn't
gonna sit there and tell these cops because you guys
want to give me tickets, because you go, no, man,

(18:35):
it doesn't work that way. I can get mad as
mad as I want to get, even mad at those
cops for whatever reason, right because they were annoying. But
I got myself in that mess. I can't blame anybody
for that but me. So I just want to be
on the record here because I don't think anybody should

(18:55):
be killed and I don't think that ICE is killing
anyone with impunity. And the fact that I do accept
wholeheartedly that there are people that will watch the same
video as me and see it differently. That's true. Yes,
I have biases. I support the police. You know my
position is strong on this. If I support the disbanding

(19:15):
of police. As long as the citizens can be armed,
you let me carry as many guns as I want
to carry, and I don't care if we have cops.
But until that day comes, then I guess we need
those cops. I respect them, they respect me. I hopefully
will have a good day, and I think so far
it's worked for me in these forty seven years. I've
got be forty eight in May. So I'm not trying

(19:37):
to be cynical or snide. I'm not trying to say
that guy got what was coming to him, although I
am saying that quite directly. That guy walked into a
shootout waiting to happen, and he got shot, and he
should not have done it. But I'm not gonna sit
here and say I don't feel bad for him or
his family. I feel terribly. Every one of us has
a stupid family member. Every one of us has people

(19:57):
that are knuckleheads, like Tim Walls says knucklehead. Well, guess
what knuckleheads can get shot. That's usually who ends up
getting shot. And this man for his hyper emotionalism of
getting involved, right, They're gonna try and paint them as
a nurse who went to the rescue to the aid
of someone who's being harmed by eyes. Listen, bad things

(20:18):
do happen. I understand that, and I'm not saying that.
You know that it's okay that bad things happen. No,
it's wrong that bad things happen. But we can't go
in exacerbate situations. We can't go and pour gasolina on
something and then you know, claim that you know we
got burned. Don't be an arsonist, don't get yourself shot.
I'm Rich Aldees.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
This is America.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
This is America, all right, I mean, he goes, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
It's Rich Valdes. Valdest with an ask at Rich Valdes
on all of the social media. Eight seven seven Valdes
number one, eight seven seven Valdes, one call, leave me
a message. That's it. Too many people trying to get
in while we're in the studio doing the show, and
apparently nobody gets it right. So leave me a message.
I will get your call on the air. I promise
that I will. I'm looking forward to hearing from you,

(21:35):
but it seems like I don't know if it's our
producers technically challenged. I don't think it's our callers. They've
been great for many, many years. But anyway, I do
want to hear from you, So take a moment humor me.
Please me right, I would love that. Give me an
early Christmas gift and engage with me. That's one of
my favorite parts of this program. I'm gonna keep coming back.
Make sure you keep calling the show. Now I want

(21:55):
to I want to stay on this topic for a
little bit because again I want to make it very clear,
I don't like this serious stuff too much. Right, you know,
I'd much rather be talking about one of those crazy
stories that the New York Post has, like when I
did a few years ago, Right, Like AI sex bots
are replacing prostitutes in the red light district in Amsterdam.

(22:18):
That's the type of story I want to talk about. Right.
These are funny things that are kind of off the
wall that you can laugh at and have a good
time with, and they make you feel light and happy.
At the end you're like, ah, that's so funny. But
this is not one of those. I have no other
way I can see this because of my biases. I
am pro America, I am pro life, I am pro

(22:39):
law enforcement. I am pro a lot of things. And
one of the things I'm not pro is Tim Walls.
Tim Walls and his Democrat acolytes that are out there
actively trying to undermine the federal government. Right number one,
they do it through their policy. Let me remind everyone.

(23:01):
From my perspective, back in the days, there was a process,
a legal term called nullification. This was used after the
Civil War. People were saying, well, we don't do that
Lincoln stuff where we accept then words, right, we're not
taking the colors or however they wanted to phrase their
derogatory characterization of blacks from the South. They didn't want

(23:26):
acknowledge them, Miss Freeman. They wanted to be they wanted
to nullify federal law. Well, that's in effect what these
people are doing. These are the new rebels, right, The
new Confederates are Tim Walls and every Democrat that is
saying that they want to defund ice, every Democrat that's
saying that they will not cooperate Democrats. It doesn't matter
if you're a Democrat or Republican. State governors and city

(23:48):
mayors like Jacob Freifry, these guys don't have the power
to enforce federal immigration law. There is no citywide immigration law,
there is no statewide immigration law. There is only federal
immigration law. They don't have this right. So when Tim
Walls and Jacob Freifry and any other mayor that's involved

(24:10):
and making sure that ice officers are out there, that
they're being hung out to dry right, trying to serve
warrants on people, knowing full well that they have no
local law enforcement support none. This is the result. You've
got agents getting harmed in a remarkable way. These guys
are getting harmed. The threats against them are through the roof.
Right now, we have three thousand, I don't know, maybe

(24:32):
close to thirty two hundred counties in America. I think
it's thirty one something, three one hundred and something.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
I want to say three one hundred and fifty four,
but I could be wrong. But just north of three
thousand counties in our United States of America. That's across
all forty eight states, all fifty states. It's been narrowed
down to nine counties nine where all of this anti
ice stuff is happening. They're making it look like it's
the Civil War. Well that's crazy, ho my cell phone.

(25:01):
They're making it seem like all of this crime is
coming from one area, or it's happening in every area.
But it's not. It's coming from nine areas. In particular,
it is coming from Minnesota. But this is concentrated, right,
This is not normal. Most states in this country or
most counties, thousands of them are not behaving this way.

(25:23):
They're not trying to illegally nullify federal law. They don't
even have a right to do that, right, So it's
clear to me that they're just actively working to organize
their way to rebel against a government. And again, an
organized rebellion against the government, last I checked, is literally
the textbook definition of an insurrection. Let's listen to what

(25:44):
somebody's Democrats have to say, shall we we shall check this.

Speaker 8 (25:47):
Out in Minneapolis.

Speaker 9 (25:48):
We will not cooperate with ICE or any federal agency.

Speaker 8 (25:54):
Just what they are.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Doing is causing chaos and distrust.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Of course, I bear responsibility to bring down the junture.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
Twice you get to out of the arles.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
I'm sure that's part of my role as mayor.

Speaker 10 (26:13):
And by the way, protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful.
The desire to get out of protest and.

Speaker 3 (26:22):
Entry speak up to this administration of how wrong this is.
That that is a patriotic beauty. That's a patriotic duty, right,
So listen, if you have your governor, Governor Don Rickles
also known as Tim Walls, telling you it's your patriotic
duty to get out there. This is why nurses like

(26:42):
mister pretty are out there running to the aid of
people armed and good. I think it's good for him
to be armed. I do.

Speaker 8 (26:50):
Now.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
Is it true that he's dead today because he was armed? Likely?
Very likely, But he could have been armed and alive
had he not gone anywhere near that mess. When you
see federal agents trying to subdue somebody or giving verbal
commands to somebody, you don't get involved. That's not your job, right.

(27:11):
But everybody wants to be you know, Benjamin Crump. Everybody
wants to be al sharp, and everybody wants to be
somebody's lawyer. And that's not the moment for law, and
that's the moment for getting things done peacefully, right, peaceful protest.
I disagree. I don't want you to lock me up.
You should let me go. But you know, you put
your hands behind your back, you don't kick, you don't
do it. You just take it easy, don't make it

(27:33):
worse than it needs to be. Why Because when things
get ugly like that, people get hurt. That's a fact.
This should be I mean, you should teach this to
your children. I've told mine. Listen, the last thing you
want and I can listen. There are many a time.
I was pulled over once by a cop, real young guy,
brand new. He wants to sit there and give me

(27:53):
a lecture. I made a turn, I turned on a block.
He pulled me over. I was like, oh, what's going on?
You know is one way? I was like, actually, I
did not know this was a one way. I didn't
see the one way sign. I don't come around here
too often. And he's like, oh, yeah, how long you
live in this town. I was like, oh, fifteen years.
He said, fifteen years. You've never been down this road.
I was like, no, I live on the other side

(28:14):
of the highway, and honestly, I came here. I was
going that way. I realized I had to turn around,
so I figured i'd come through this block. I had
no idea most streets are on here two way. And
he's like, oh, I find it real hard to believe, sir,
that you know you lived. And I was like, hold on,
what is this? What is this? Like? This is completely unnecessary. Right,
this guy needs to say, all right, listen, I'm giving
you a break or I'm giving you a ticket, right,

(28:36):
keep your eyes open. Yeah, by the way, the sign's
over there it's obstructed by the tree, or you know,
maybe you missed the sign, or listen, hey, what are
you blind? Here's your ticket. I don't care. But what
you're now going to do is sit there and talk
to me in a condescending manner and give me a lecture. Right.
Not necessary, It's not in the job description of being
a cop. I was mad at this guy. I just

(28:57):
looked at him like an idiot and and thank them
and went on my way to you know, to just
talk a lot of crap in my car afterwards. And
he did let me go. He was like, well, strive carefully,
and I went on my way. But my point was
he was a jerk. That guy was a jerk, and
there are people that are jerks that work in every

(29:17):
line of work. And I realize that I'm not going
to walk away from that, and goh, these guys are
out to get me. Every last cop They're not. They're not.
I've had I've had too many run ins with too
many different cops to know that the cops are good guys.
They're they're your friend, They're there to help the other day.
Another jerk cop. If you want me to stay on
that moment, right. I pulled over and uh at the

(29:42):
airport to get my daughter. All right. You know, it's
like there's two sides to pull over. You pull over
on the left side, or you can pull over on
the right side. The right side is right in front
of the airport doors. You got to keep it moving
as a cop there like center, I pick your people
up and move. My daughter wasn't out yet, so I
pulled over on the left side, all the way in
the front, so kind of out of the way. And

(30:05):
my daughter calls, She's like, I'm coming, dad, I have
a bag with me. So I get out to open
the back of my car. I'm opening the car and
I see, you know, a cop and he's real real
close to my bumper and he keeps getting closer and
closer and closer, and I'm like, you're right, like do
you see me standing here? You know? I just look
at him, and you know, I look over and I
go everything okay, And he's like, I don't know, you

(30:27):
tell me. I was like, oh boy, all right, And
now it's these rhetorical games, right, I don't know. I'm
guessing he wanted me to move, but I didn't know.
I couldn't park there. I knew I couldn't park on
the other side, so I go everything all right, I mean,
did I do something wrong? He tells me, Well, there's
a sign right up there that says no parking, and

(30:49):
it's really high. This sign, way way higher than my
line of sight and anybody's line of sight, which I
would suspect is intentional so that they can give you
a ticket to sell. You didn't see the sign. Look
at it all the way up there right, you know,
some Paul Bunyan type of sign. I was like, oh, well,
I didn't realize that. I'll move the car, I said,
But if I move it right this second, I said,
is that all right? If you can you give me

(31:10):
like three minutes, because my daughter just told me she's
coming out, and if I have to move it from here,
I'm gonna have to go all around the whole airport,
and if you could do that for me, And he says, well,
let's see if you're telling them the truth or not,
and he just stares at me. Anyway, about ten seconds later,
my daughter comes out of the airport and I put

(31:30):
the stuff in the trunk, and then when she came
he pulled off and I thought this guy could have
handled this so much differently. But again, it's New York.
We were in Jersey, but he seemed like a New
Yorker because it was a We have a joint police force,
the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, so
you never know what you're getting there. But my point is,
I've dealt with a lot of people with tough characters

(31:51):
like that, and you know whatever, you just now what
a jerk This guy's a jerk right, Sometimes we add
off jerk off. This guy's a jerk off, and that's it.
That's the extent of it. And sometimes you got a
cop that's a jerk off. But I didn't sit there
and say, you know what, screw you?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
What that was wrong?

Speaker 3 (32:08):
You pull up my phone, start taping. Right. There's a rapper.
I'm on a tangent here, but I'm gonna go with it.
Stick with me, work with me, folks. There's a rapper
named Old Dirty Bastard, part of something called the Wu
Tang Clan. Now Old Dirty Bastard ODB as he is stylized,
was in a car stop with the NYPD and went

(32:30):
for something after he was told not to move. They
say he was going for a wallet or a cell
phone or something like that. Swiss cheese, right, They thought
he was going for a gun. They lit him up
and he's done. I love Tho dB. I think he
was fantastic. I feel very badly that he was killed.
But again I understand, these things happen, and they can

(32:52):
happen to me, and they can happen to my children,
and they happen to you. So I tell people, listen,
when you're dealing with law enforcement, take it easy. You
don't want to agitate these people. There are people trying
to kill them, and if they think you're going for
a gun, they're well within their rights to defend themselves.
And they have guns, so they can defend themselves with

(33:14):
a gun. And you could sit there and try to
play Matt Locke all day long and say, oh, you
know what I mean, you should wait till you see
the gun. You should wait till they fired that gun.
If you haven't heard a bullet coming at you, if
that's not whizzing right at your dome, sh then you
shouldn't be allowed to shoot. You've got to be kidding me. No,
I don't play that game. Listen, I get it. These guys.

(33:36):
Now people are going to try and beat them up. Oh,
they need better training. Listen, it's not training. Sometimes you
get people that are jerks, that's who they are by nature.
Training is going to help that. Years of therapy may
not even help that, right, Years of church may not
help that. Some people are just like that. Now, do
we need training, Sure, training's great, But bottom line I'm
making here is that you don't want to give a

(33:59):
copper rear to feel threatened. Right, You want to keep
things peaceful. They want it peaceful and you want it peaceful.
I think the onus is on both of us. The
onus is not just on the cop to be respectful.
I'm sure if I'm respectful most of the time, they're
going to be respectful. Now, sometimes you get you know
Officer Jo right that I mentioned to you in different contexts,

(34:23):
you can get that guy. But even with that guy,
you handle it right and it goes fine. And that's
the point of what I'm talking about here. We don't
sit here and talk about dismantling the police. We don't
sit here and talk about dismantling ice because all of
a sudden it's wrong to enforce immigration law or it's

(34:46):
okay if you violate immigration law as long as you
work in a restaurant, as long as you work in construction,
as long as you have a family, like maybe you
got married or you have children, because if you're a
parent and you're a criminal, then you can't be arrested.
These rules don't apply to anyone anywhere. This is hyper
emotionalism that's being used against people to incite people. But

(35:11):
yet the Democrats, this is what they do. They join
Tim Walls and they say, nope, nope, I'm not voting
for this. I'm going to vote to defund ICE. I'm
going to make sure that we shut this thing down.
Listen to this.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
I hate shutdowns.

Speaker 6 (35:26):
I'm one of the people that helped negotiate the solution
to the last the end of the last shutdown.

Speaker 7 (35:30):
But I can't vote for a bill that includes ICE
funding under these circumstances.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
I'm not giving ICE or Border Patrol another dime.

Speaker 10 (35:37):
We can't vote to fund this lawless Department of Homeland Security.
We cannot provide another dime to this lawless operation. How
can you good conscries continue funding a department without the
guardrails of protections.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
What are these guardrails and protections that you want, Senator,
I want to know you want ICE to show up
and say hi, listen, guys, they know that you should
not be releasing people wanted for murder when you release
them from your county jails. But when you do, maybe
you could just give us a call, so maybe we
could try and get them out. No, they don't get
a call, they don't get anything. So they have these

(36:12):
active warrants and active ICE detainers, which is, please detain
this person so that we Immigration Customs Enforcement can take
these people out of the country. No, then they can say,
all right, well then if they have a court date,
let's go get them there. That's wrong too, right, So
now it's wrong to get them anywhere now, So what
does the federal government have to do. They have to
go get them at home. They got to go get
them somewhere. So now they're finding them in the communities

(36:35):
where they are. And when you have a community like
Minneapolis that makes it a sanctuary to protect these people, well,
then there they are. So now they're there and they're
trying to get the people that they're trying to collect
and enforce the law on. So what does Minneapolis do well,
they don't send any cops. They only have six hundred cops.

(36:55):
They want to blame Ice for absolutely everything. They want
to say that, you know, just go home, just stop,
stop doing your job. Let's stop. Let you know, Tim Walls,
Let's see if we have Tim Walls here, right. Tim
Wallas says, people just want to live their lives. Of
course they do. Imagine you have a bank robber living
next to you, and the cops come and you're bothered

(37:17):
by the fact that there's a swat team in. An
officer with a bullhorn say come out with your hands
up right, and you go out there, and you're like, listen, man,
this guy just wants to live his life, all right,
So what he robbed the bank? Just let him be right, geez,
come on, have a heart. I mean again, now, am
I comparing every immigrant to a bank robber? No, I
am comparing every immigrant that has a child molestation charge,

(37:41):
that has a child sexual assault charge, that has a
child rape charge, or some other rape charge. Those guys,
excuse me, or the wife beaters. But does that mean
they're the only ones that get deported or anybody who's
in the country unlawfully? Right? Since now when we get
to pick and choose, we go to get the guy

(38:03):
with the tattoo on his face. Whatever his name is,
let's call him Marco. And Marco has you know, a
warrant for whatever, because you know it's a misunderstanding. He
dated a girl that was when he was sixteen, she
was thirteen. The parents didn't like him because he was
a gang banger. Back then he had too much tattoos
on his face, so they said, you know what, you

(38:25):
raped our daughter, and that got into litigation and to
find a better life, he sought the American dream by
fleeing his native country in South America and came to
the United States with being wanted for rape. Now did
he rape her? I don't know. I'm not his lawyer
and I'm not his god, but I do know that's
to charge us on paper. So when Greg Bovino and

(38:48):
Tom Holman and the rest of these guys in Ice
and Border Patrol come to enforce the law, I'm supposed
to be the nurse named uh Preddy and say I'm
gonna I'm gonna get in. I'm going to stop you
from doing your job. I'm going to impede a federal
investigation or a federal apprehension. I mean, this is absolute
crazy town. I'm sorry to say it, but it is.

(39:12):
And we've got to start looking at it as if
it is crazy town and stop trying to justify and
normalize that it's okay to tell Ice to beat it.
How about we start saying, Hey, Governor Wallas, you've got
blood on your hands. Hey Mayor Frey Fry, you've got
blood on your hands. People are literally dropping dead at
the bullet of someone that they should never have been
involved with because of your dumbass Why don't you do

(39:35):
the right thing and stop making these people out to
be heroes and martyrs, calling them an Frank unbelievable.

Speaker 10 (39:44):
We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses,
afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading
that story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that
children's story about Minnesota. And there's one person who can
end this.

Speaker 3 (40:03):
Now, that's right, and it's Tim Walls. Tim Walls can
end this right now by saying I will play ball,
I will follow the law. Anybody who is incarcerated that
has an active ICE detainer is going to be turned
over to ICE. Anybody that we encounter in a traffic
stop is going to be turned over to ICE. Anybody
that calls for help, federal law enforcement or otherwise, we're

(40:26):
going to have their back. The state police is going
to be there to help them. I'm not going to
activate the National Guard and have them giving coffee to
the protesters. Now, listen. I haven't verified that story yet,
but I saw the video of the Minnesota purportedly of
the Minnesota National Guard wearing yellow vests to differentiate between
them and ICE, so that the protesters knew not to

(40:47):
fight with them. They literally are fighting so much with
these guys, they're injuring them. I saw one video where
the guy got his finger bitten off. I saw another
one where these two guys holding the fort down at
a hotel where they were washing the hotel with a
huge hammer, like a huge sledge hammer. They're trashing the hotel,

(41:07):
like breaking the sign and breaking the walls because these
people were there sleeping there so they could work. These
people being ICE. How is all of this crime and
these attacks normalized yet somehow that goes out the window.
No compassion for those people, no compassion for the young girls.

(41:29):
That truly broke my heart right there was a young girl,
a Dakara from Maryland that was Thompson I believe her
last name was, that was raped by an illegal alien
and murdered, left for dead, Lake and Riley left for dead,
Jacqueline Nunger Eye left for dead. Where was the outrage

(41:54):
for that? Because guess what those hit Those hit a
nerve for me because I have daughters though ages. Now
that stuff is heartbreaking to put yourself, even for a
split second, to think, Oh, my god, imagine if that
were my little girl. Now I understand if some people
are going, wow, imagine that are my husband, my brother,
my cousin's a nurse, imagine, But at some point you

(42:15):
have to say, what did Linke and Riley do wrong?
What did any of these girls do wrong? Except live?
They're just trying to, like Tim Walla says, they're just
trying to live their lives. These other people are not
trying to live their lives. These other people are actively
getting involved and in the face of law enforcement. And
they're not dying as a result of being in the

(42:35):
face of law enforcement. They're dying as a result of
getting involved in something that can potentially have a deadly
consequence for nay good hitting the gas with a cop
in front of her? What she think was gonna happen? Now,
maybe she didn't see him. Guess what I understand he
saw her, and we have to be able to swallow that.
I get it. It's tough. I'm not here saying that

(42:57):
she should have died. I'm saying that any officer in
that situation needs to do what he did. What she
had control over was not being there, being a normal
human being, hold up a sign, get a bullhorn and
stand across the street. Who stopped her from getting involved
with them? The local police Guess what they weren't there?
Why Jacob Freyfry and Tim Walls out to lunch to

(43:19):
both of them, these guys are ridiculous. This is why
people are dying because of their failures. These guys. Really,
somebody should sue them civilly for their lack of judgment,
for their inability to make good and keeping people safe
sitting instead of blaming Trump and calling all these guys

(43:40):
Nazis like Jasmine Crockett does. Check this out. Unbelievable.

Speaker 11 (43:44):
Yeah, as it relates to the enforcement that we see
right now, let me be clear, they are supposed to
do Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not going after US citizens,
not going after people that are documented. That is not
what they are supposed to do, but that is what
they are doing.

Speaker 9 (43:57):
They are turning us into Nazi Germany by saying and
they're going to.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Go door to door.

Speaker 9 (44:01):
They are going after people because of their accent or
the color of their skin, because this Supreme Court gave
them carte blanche ability to do so. So all we
want ICE to do is to do what ICE was
created to do.

Speaker 11 (44:12):
And unfortunately that's not what they are doing.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Congresswoman, please check with your friends, because the reason that
they're not able to do what you're wanting them to
do is because they're supposed to pick people up from jail.
They're supposed to pick people up in the easiest way possible.
Right when there's an ICE detainer, they expect to have
the support and the cooperation of their law enforcement colleagues
at the state and local level. Instead they're being met

(44:37):
with an f you, even from the police chief. Right.
I mean, it's this is it's like civil war here.
They will do anything and say anything, and they don't
care how many lives they lose in the process. They
do not want any federal law enforcement to occur in Minnesota,

(44:58):
and sadly, like President Obama used to say, President Trump
has an obligation. He has an obligation to make sure
that these things happen. Obama had it and did a
way better job. And guess who his border chief was,
Tom Homan. He did such a great job. Obama gave
him one of those ribbons that go around his neck
and a board. I think it was the National Medal

(45:19):
of nose k. So I don't want to hear it,
Miss Crockett, I don't want to hear it. Mister Wallas,
I don't want to hear it. Fray Fry. You guys
literally are costing people their lives and you should be
ashamed of yourselves. More to come straight ahead. Plus, I've
got our big announcement for the video project that I've
been telling you about that is being revealed and here

(45:39):
it comes. Don't go anywhere. I'm Rich Falda, This is America.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
This is America.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
President Bamad J. Trump, Mister President, welcome to the well.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
Thank you, Rich, and thank you for everything.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
I know you very well and I have I listened,
but I have a lot of people that listen and
they love your show, and I appreciate it very much.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
All of the social media. It's a blessing to be
here with you, and we're in our brand new studios.
I don't know if you could see through the glare
Times Square, New York City, literally seventeen blocks away from
Madison Square Garden where it all started.

Speaker 8 (46:23):
About eight years ago.

Speaker 3 (46:25):
And part of what we're doing today is we're talking
about the new syndication for our show.

Speaker 8 (46:30):
I want to give a few shout outs.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
There's a lot of people that I have to thank,
so I want to thank them up front. I want
to thank some of my buddies who are tuning in
at home. But first I wanted to say you guys
were expecting to see me at twelve noon, and it
is twelve noon in Puerto Rico.

Speaker 8 (46:46):
We're using Puerto Rico time, so.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Thank you for tuning in. And there's a few people
I have to many. If I forget you, forgive me.
But I did this very late at night, and I
want to start with some of the VIPs, Valdez VIPs
that are out there tuned in, locked in. Thank you
for subscribing to the Rumble Channel as well as of
course President and mekinse who, by the way, is on

(47:13):
his way here. He's on the jet and he might
get here before the end of the stream, but we
do have him via video, so we'll be talking with
him in a moment. We've got Dennis Gonzalez who's going
to be with us today. Dennis Gondalez. Shout out to him,
our senior advisor, mister advisor, as well as Luis Antonio Valna,
the national president of Festiva Media, which is part of

(47:36):
Global Media Federation, which is the company owned by Ula.

Speaker 8 (47:40):
Costa, and of course my.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
Senior advisor for all things engineering, former vice president that
Westwood One, former director of Operations at ABC Radio, Bob Mack.
I couldn't do all this stuff without your Bob Mac.

Speaker 8 (47:55):
Thank you brother. Of course, one of my favorite producers,
mister producer. Shout out to my brother.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
And of course I say she's my bodyguard, but she's
really might produce her.

Speaker 8 (48:06):
Miss Bobadiah, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
Shout out to you, and of course missus and Sam's
from My Heart Radio is here as well. You get
to see her pretty face in a little bit. And
folks from the media that I know are locked in
right now. Are friends from Talkers Magazine, are friends from
Barrett Media, from World News in Espanola, and all the
rest of our media partners. Thank you for locking into
this event. And I was going to give a shout

(48:31):
out to Professor Emeritus doctor Rolando Alum, but he chose
to go somewhere else today, so all right, you get
the shout out anyway. And of course, my buddy Andrew
from Lyn Digital Media, and so many of our listeners
that are here with us, and I want to kick
this whole thing off saying it's it's been such a
fun journey for me and I love radio, out door radio,

(48:54):
but part of what is to be a professional is
to be able to adjust and in terrestrial radio, which
I love in adoor and I've made my life and
I will continue to do and do continue to do.
I kicked off this brand new year twenty twenty six
on the air. But I'll say this, nobody's building new

(49:15):
radio towers, but people are building plenty of new streaming networks.
Years ago people would say what radio station are you on?
Now people tell me how do I watch you? What's
your YouTube? And that type of thing is what brings
us to the place where we are now where we're like,
you know what we need to expand we have to

(49:38):
get into streaming video. So without further ado, I want
to bring in our senior advisor for a company that
I started called Richfaldesk Media and our production arm, which
is the ABC Recording Network.

Speaker 8 (49:51):
I want to bring to you.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Somebody who spent thirty years, more than thirty years in government.
He is a friend, he's a trusted senior advisor. I
call him mister Advisor. He most recently served the President
of the United States and Secretary Kennedy, and now he's
helping us trailblaze things in the Caribbean, in in Washington,

(50:13):
many places. He's got a lot of connections. Dennis Gonzalez,
our senior advisor.

Speaker 12 (50:17):
Welcome, sir, Well, thank you, Rich, thank you. Good afternoon everybody.
By the way, Rich, it's thirty seven years in public service.
But I started when I was ten, So good afternoon
when I started, as everyone, delighted to be here and
honored to be mister adviser to my dear and good

(50:38):
friend Rich. Welcome to this joint rocal syndication announcement. And
let me read the rest of this because I don't
want to miss anything and face the wrath of Rich.
So this is an announcement by Global Media Federation, Festiva TV,
Valdez Media, and the ABC Record Network. Thank you all

(51:02):
for joining us here in this beautiful studio right here
in the in beautiful Times Square.

Speaker 8 (51:07):
I love this area.

Speaker 12 (51:09):
Of course, finding parking is challenging, but I love it anyway.
And I am Dennis Gonzalez, your master of ceremonies. We
are here to announce a groundbreaking syndication deal bringing Rich
Valdez's dynamic late night talk show exclusively in Spanish Espaniol

(51:31):
to Roco via Festiva TV. And so Rich just made
a an opening mark, but I'm turning it back to
him because he's going to introduce someone specialized earlier.

Speaker 8 (51:44):
Thank you, Dennis Gonzalez. I appreciate you, my brother.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Earlier I alluded to the president, the national president of
Global Media Federation, which is the parent company to festive
A Media and festive A TV, which is our new
syndicator for OKU and we're doing it exclusively in Espanol
and nine a lot of you are thinking, who cares? Well,
that's just the first step, right, We're leaving the door
open for a lot more opportunities, but I didn't want

(52:09):
to miss out on this opportunity, as reaching ninety million
new homes is a really big deal for this program
and for all of our listeners and are now our
new viewers. So I want to welcome somebody who's spent
his career a storied individual who has really dedicated himself
to the craft of radio, to the craft of making
news on television, both with Univision here in New York,

(52:32):
America's biggest media market, as well as in radio in
New York. And he did it with Telemundo, He's done
it with Uniebisung, and he's doing it now with Rajuela
costein Presidente Medenge and the wonderful GMF Festiva Family. My
brother Luis Antonio Vallela welcome.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
Thank you, Thank you Rich for that introduction.

Speaker 13 (52:55):
I was thinking if you were talking about me or
song as given the fifteen political ties in the Caribbean
and Latin America, choosing Rich Valdez as a syndication partner
at our rocal channel was the right decision to make.
He's one of the top one hundred hosts in America

(53:17):
and certainly the most recognizable boys in conservative Hispanic media.
Even President Trump says that he listens to rich so
he's extremely talented. He's a great personality on air and
off air, which sometimes it doesn't happen. In this case,
what you see is what you get on and off air.

(53:41):
His personality and clear perspective are exactly what our audience
is looking for as we grow to grow, as we
grow Festiva TV as a premier destination for news and commentary.

Speaker 5 (53:54):
It's an honor to share this role with you.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Reach Thank you, brother, I appreciate you. It really truly
is an honor. It's my honor to be here, and
I'm grateful to you for being here. I'm grateful to
Raula Costa, who's going to be joining us now via video.
And once we have that cueued up, once we have
him ready to go, you're gonna hear from him. Who's
spent again, just a very storied career, thirty years in music.

(54:20):
He's won plenty of awards, and I think we have him.

Speaker 8 (54:23):
Do we have him? Yeah, let's go, Raulta. President Medingay, welcome.

Speaker 2 (54:28):

Global Media Federation to partner up with Rich valdeesk TV

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Very generous of you to say thank you for inviting
me to be a part of your network and for
syndicating my show, Rich Valdez and Espanol, something that I
haven't seen in conservative talk media ever, and it's the
first of its kind type of deal. You guys are
cutting edge and I appreciate the opportunity. I know that
Vana White took the day off, but we've got somebody
a little bit better.

Speaker 8 (55:35):
I like to call her our producer.

Speaker 5 (55:54):

Speaker 8 (56:02):
After you.

Speaker 13 (56:04):
I feel that I'm signing one of those orders executy
orders President Trump going away.

Speaker 5 (56:22):
Or yours.

Speaker 8 (56:23):
Thank you brother, you mentioned that Trumpezo I can use
thank you. So I want to thank you again, I

(56:45):
really do.

Speaker 3 (56:45):
I really appreciate the invitation, and I want to thank
Dennis for being here. I want to thank Zen Sam's
for being here. I want to thank Jatt and about
By for being here. And I want to thank all
of our again, our media partners and everybody who's locked
in on the live stream.

Speaker 8 (56:57):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
Make sure you're subscribe, both on The Rumble and on
all the other video channels. This is going to be
rolling out in February and an exact date in February.
We're gonna leave you a little hanging just because there's
a couple of big sporting events in February and I
don't want to compete with those, so we're gonna work
our way around those. And there's also some English video

(57:18):
stuff that's coming. This is the first of several with
several different partners. So I'm going to close with saying this,
it's it's truly a blessing to be with with with Raula.

Speaker 8 (57:30):
Costa, with with Luis.

Speaker 3 (57:32):
Antonio, with all of our partners here to bring my
show in Espanola right to ninety million homes on Roku.

Speaker 8 (57:45):
It's really something I didn't see coming, you know, two
years ago.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
When we started talking about this several months back, I
started to crystallize that this is the right direction to
go in. So I'm grateful for the opportunity, and this
will allow us to reach new audiences, but it's also
going to allow us to maintain English syndication opportunities and
keep those open right across terrestrial radio, cable, television, streaming

(58:14):
platforms like Rumble. I'm going to continue building on my
ongoing work in those spaces.

Speaker 8 (58:20):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
This is separate and apart from that, and that's I
think one of the most beautiful things about this deal
is that it gives me the opportunity to be versatile.
I cannot be tied up by this one particular contract,
so I'm grateful for your flexibility in that as well.

Speaker 13 (58:36):
Thank you, Thank you so much. I think this would
be great for the Hispanic audience, but also for the
Latino bi lingual audience in the United States. This will
be an asformative movement that we're happen with you in.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
Spanish outstanding, well, I mean thank you, Asta labroxima, take care,
good night, God bless you America. I'm rich Valdez and
this is America and Espanol.

Speaker 4 (59:08):
This is America.
