    Denuclearized Iran, Dementia, Defending The Homeland (ADLE wins)
    Jun 23 2026
    On Monday night, Rich reacts to the geopolitical aftershocks of a denuclearized Iran. Following a highly contentious Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed this weekend by President Trump. Is this a permanent step toward peace, or is the region entering an even more volatile phase of enforcement? Plus, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns.

    Then, we shift our focus to brain health and the growing crisis of cognitive decline
    . We dive into the latest research from neurological experts
    on how our modern diet triggers neuroinflammation. We reveal the top "at-risk" foods
    that are scientifically linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease:
    • Ultra-Processed Foods: Fast food, packaged snacks, and instant meals that disrupt gut-brain communication.
    • Refined Sugars & High-Fructose Corn Syrup: Sugary beverages that spark insulin resistance in the brain, often referred to as "Type 3 diabetes."
    • High-Glycemic Carbohydrates: White bread, white rice, and refined pastries that cause rapid blood sugar spikes.
    Finally, we head to Bogotá to unpack the historic victory of right-wing political outsider Abelardo de la Espriella (ADLE) and his "Defenders of the Homeland" coalition. Running on a hardline Bukele-style security agenda, ADLE secured a dramatic 49.66% runoff victory and the massive impact of Donald Trump's explicit endorsement on Truth Social, where the U.S. President praised "El Tigre" and predicted a powerful new era.

  • Interview: Dennis Gonzalez (Puerto Rico Water Crisis Explained)

    Interview: Dennis Gonzalez (Puerto Rico Water Crisis Explained)
    Jun 17 2026
    On Tuesday night, Rich hosts an exclusive interview with retired government official Dennis E. Gonzalez about the unfolding Puerto Rico water crisis on the Rich Valdés This Is America podcast. As the founder of Gonzalez Strategies and Solutions, Dennis brings decades of raw insider knowledge from his time serving decades in both the U.S. Department of Health under both Trump administrations and the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration under past governors. He exposes the ugly truth: how career politicians weaponized corruption, allowed catastrophic disrepair, and kicked the can down the road for decades while actively misusing resources meant to protect the island's critical water infrastructure. While this historical disaster cannot be placed on the shoulders of newly elected Governor Jenniffer González-Colón, Valdés highlights her aggressive, proven leadership in effectively ending the island-wide blackouts alongside major federal support from President Trump. With Puerto Rico finally stabilizing its electrical grid without a major island-wide blackout for almost a year, the big question remains: can Governor González-Colón work that same magic to rescue the island's failing water system before it's too late?
