#LIBERTADYORDEN2026 capitulo 18. El tigre Abelardo, Paloma Valencia, el Petro caosAdded:
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] Today we are announcing an indictment charging Raul Castro and several others with conspiracy to kill US nationals.
[applause] [applause] [applause] [applause] Very, very good afternoon.
For this, your program Liberty and Order, chapter number 18 on today, Wednesday, May 20, already on a rather pleasant afternoon for the city of Bogotá, despite the fact that the mayor and this amoral, despotic, corrupt, delusional misgovernment of the Lord of Petrocaos and his gang of cannibals who are lying in wait for the national budget.
I am Professor Rafael Gómez Martínez, of conservative doctrine, but not of the Conservative Party, which is mired in its deepest crisis of doctrinal ethics in its more than 375 years of history, to such an extent that half of the Conservative Party, half of the existing caucus in the Conservative Party in Congress, decided to join without any rumor the campaign of Paloma Valencia, just as they joined the campaign of Gustavo Petro.
And so we are because the news last night, well into the night, is that former president César Gaviria, along with his daughter and a divided liberal faction, joined Paloma Valencia's campaign, as well as the Christian Party, in quotes, Mira, which approved absolutely all the reforms to the moral misgovernment of Mr. Petro. from day one of his government.
We should do a program one of these days about political parties and Christianity, shouldn't we? How valid is the issue of political parties and religious functions? And if they are ethically Christian, then what is Christian about a Christian party supporting an anti-Christian government? Let's look at the announcement made by Paloma Valencia's campaign upon receiving the support of the Mira party, a minority bloc, a very disciplined party that claims to be Christian, that claims to be conservative and a defender of life, but that supported the amoral, despotic and corrupt misrule of the Petro Chaos lord in all his internal parliamentary reforms and prior to several variables.
We made the decision, one of them, as I told you, being the electoral issue, another being government programs, party affinity, the relations we have with the Democratic Center, the coalitions we have made throughout the country.
Well, a decision had to be made, and ultimately the criterion that allows us to make the decision is that Paloma Valencia is a woman, a woman of principles, a woman of values, a woman we know as a colleague in the Senate of the Republic, a conciliatory woman, a woman of action, of firm decisions, but who also engages in dialogue, who also reaches consensus, and this country in this moment of polarization needs that for the first time we are very close, Colombia is very close to having a woman president. This is the opportune moment for us as a party, within the framework of consistency, because we have supported women, because we are the authors of several laws of the Republic, including the Natalia Ponce law, equal pay for equal work for women victims.
If they had been consistent, if they had supported the Natalia Ponce law, and the one who made that law was the tiger Abelardo, but they didn't go with Paloma to Valencia, and we are seeing within the political circus all the political inconsistency, because everything that Paloma Valencia fought for in Congress during her entire term as senator, now all that is working in favor of Paloma Valencia.
Good afternoon to our dear businessman Fernando Orjuela, while the other panelists try to connect today. Don Fernando, who has been committed to this program since last year, 2025.
And here we go, Fernando, we're already on our second season doing this program and warning Colombian society about what was coming. And then it came, Fernando, 12 days before the elections, the presidential election came with a strong upward trend for Abelardo, Cepeda falling and Paloma falling even more. Very, very good afternoon, dear Fernando. Forward.
Rafael. Good afternoon. Well, we continue to be very surprised by this whole political atmosphere, in which the worst of the human condition has truly surfaced in this contest, right? Incoherence and insult, slander, libel. And all the criminal offenses associated with defamation have been the order of the day in an absolute ideological incoherence that speaks volumes about our political environment in Colombia, eh, without ideology, with a lot of politicking, and we see some absolutely astonishing associations.
And where it doesn't even matter, but rather to preserve the clientelist and bureaucratic power that has been growing, eh, on the part of the politicians in the Colombian state to live off it and to steal from it, because that's pretty much what politicking has ended up being, just to enlarge the state for the personal benefit of the politicians and leave the country mired in that lack of doctrine and that lack of mission and vision for the country.
Put the microphone on him, Rafa. Yes, it's because I have a little dog here that's driving us crazy, and I have to put a microphone on him because the dog is starting to drive the whole neighborhood crazy, and since he's a small dog and they leave him alone all afternoon, the poor little dog starts barking because what else does the poor little dog do? The problem isn't the puppy, the problem is that he leaves it alone all afternoon.
Well, these are the contingencies. We apologize to our audience if the show is interrupted at times by the bricks and the distressed little dog because he was left alone. Poor.
So, the issue is, Fernando, that if the political incoherence of Paloma Valencia is at its peak, not only of Paloma Valencia, but of the entire Democratic Center, even at times of former president Álvaro Uri Vélez, who yesterday suffered an attack, in quotes, by what are known as social collectives, social collectives that are doing their thing in Bolivia.
Well, they took over Bolivia, Fernando and José Abel since last Sunday and they have a lot of love, but Bolivian society already knows how things are going and is beginning to react against those social groups sent by Evo Morales.
Because that's how the left is. When the left is not in power, it doesn't allow others to govern, and then it generates chaos, uncertainty, and fear. For example, Fernando, we have information that in some rural areas, people are buying land with money whose origin is unclear. This land is being automatically subdivided, and people unknown to anyone are arriving in rural areas that were once peaceful, creating absolute chaos in the areas where these people settle. We do n't know where this money is coming from, but this is happening in the Colombian countryside with the complete abandonment of the Colombian state authorities. And before, Fernando was abandoned, because as a consequence of this amoral misrule by the Petrocaos boss and the National Land Agency, recovering the countryside is going to be one of the great tasks, whether it's Panoma or Tigre Abelardo, right?
[snort] Man, I do believe that the mission of the next government and the ministry, without a doubt, is more important in the social sphere, because obviously the Ministry of Finance is going to be fundamental, but in the social sphere I do believe that the Ministry of Agriculture has to have a person in charge with an intellectual, academic and professional level.
It is extraordinary because there is a dynamic that can transform the country, but on the basis of absolutely clear policies. I know what you were saying about the land. Near one of our properties, there are already several estates that the government has bought and divided into 10 hectares per family.
They are only given the land.
without any services whatsoever, there are no electricity services, and obviously no water either. And they give them the land, not all of it productive, but let's say it was productive, but they have no resources. Then they arrive and settle in what are practically squalid, shantytown-like dwellings, and this has begun to create a social problem between those who arrive and those who are already there. Well, basically because it has generated problems of crime, and very poor people arrive, so they don't have work, they don't have the ability to make their land productive.
So, that's creating a very complex social problem, very complex.
I know of areas where those foreigners who have already taken their land have dismantled entire neighboring farms. In other words, the situation is not at all easy socially, and while the idea of giving them land seems interesting to me, it necessarily has to be accompanied by a whole infrastructure that allows them to live with dignity, because a plot of land without electricity, without water, without even a shovel to plow, and without any advice on what to cultivate, without recommendations, without soil studies, well, it simply increases poverty. It's that simple.
Yes, in that line of thinking of distributing land to the less fortunate, these kinds of expropriations are committed, both direct and indirect. That's exactly what Hugo Chávez did at the beginning of his government when he expropriated the tourism sector and expropriated the hotels in the tourism sector. And when he expropriated sectors of the tourism industry, the first thing he did was allow people below the means to enter the hotels. This policy was later copied, for example, by New York, by the Democratic mayors when they put all the migrants who no longer fit in New York City into the Hinton Hotel.
So, uh, this becomes a very complex social problem, to the point that this morning in New York there was an explosion. We have clarity on the facts, uh, on the Wall Street side, and we don't yet have clarity on the circumstances, but there's a very deep hotel zone there, Fernando, and that's where the migrants were put by order of the Democratic mayors and now communists like the Muslim one they have there in New York, who announced in recent days that he no longer has a budget. Fernando has only been mayor of New York for 6 months and he has already run out of budget.
Good afternoon to José Abel Paz, the young lawyer from the Conservative Party, immersed in his deepest crisis of doctrinal ethics. José Abel, good afternoon. With 12 days until the first round, what's your first impression, please? We're doing well, teacher. Good afternoon.
Come on, as he said, as the blind man, the deaf man, and the drunkard said in the dark night. We're doing well.
Yes, we're doing well. Anyway, well, you see, I was looking, teacher, and Fernando, good afternoon and to the entire audience. I was noticing that there was an issue with the polls, like they're not paying much attention to them or they're hiding them, but the polls are n't as relevant as they used to be, right? At this time, they were at their peak, producing results, and setting trends.
The polls seem to be stagnating, as if some higher power is holding them back, but I do n't know who's behind it or who benefits from keeping the polls quiet. We already know that they've been bought. I saw that the matter began when the National Electoral Council filed charges against Guarumo for misuse of a survey, and from then on, things started to go downhill. Have you heard anything about that? Of course, Enrique Gómez, who is now a senator for the National Salvation movement. Yesterday he denounced that they want to censor Abelardo the tiger.
Let's see. Of course, the Mata regime assassinated Álvaro Gómez 30 years ago and his crime remains unpunished. That's why the establishment is challenging Abelardo. Take off your vest. They tell him not to go around with bodyguards. Don't check your pallets and whether they are capable of killing. Of course, they are also capable of applying censorship. That's why the establishment revokes the licenses of polling firms that make it uncomfortable and restricts the ability of media outlets that don't fall in line to publish [music]. That's why we have to finish this in the first round, achieve that majority plus one so we can start [music] to build the miracle homeland. The establishment trembles because it knows that Abelardo is truly the independent [musician], the one who will pull the tablecloth. That's why we're going all out for the win on May 31st. Here we are [music] all standing firm for the homeland.
[music] From the firm star for the homeland.
That was the reason, José Abel. The reason is that the tiger finally started to lead in the polls, and for the first time in both the Atlas Intel poll and the other polls. And the reason given by the National Electoral Council, by Magistrate Prada and the magistrate of the Hysterical Pact, was that they could not publish the poll results during these two weeks.
So, meanwhile, and this is going to be the topic of today, Tiger Abelardo, Paloma Valencia and Petro Caosel, Tiger Abelardo filled the Bayodupar square in an unusual act and presented during the previous weekend, Tiger Abelardo filled the Alfonso López square in Valle Dupara.
Meanwhile, Mr. Cepeda continues his series of speeches against Palomo Valencia and former President Uribe, and sends some men to former President Uribe's farm to paint his wall.
We have been very critical of former President Uribe here, [clears throat] but in this case what we must be is supportive of the former president, not only for the frontal battle he has waged against the FARC issue, but also because in this case Fernando Yabel, apparently his wife Lina was alone and these bandits came to paint their house, to make their home comfortable and then it produced the reaction of the people of Medellín.
that he won't let it happen. So, let's look at Cepeda and Álvaro Uribe regarding the issue of the house painting.
Cepeda is around here. In the next few minutes, hours, we will be filing a new document with the Attorney General's Office in which I, and my campaign, denounce that we have received information and documents indicating that an armed group, apparently one of the dissident groups, is carrying out actions to pressure and coerce the electorate in the department of Guaviare. I'm not going to make public the details of that complaint; the authorities will know about it. The fact is that I clearly state that I will provide both audio and images that will be very clear regarding the complaint I am making.
Senator Cvededa, please denounce that the [laughs] FARC dissidents are going to be what we have been denouncing. Fernando Yabel has been on this program and in our columns and opinion pieces for 2 years. Hey, your comment, Ferná.
Well, regarding Uribe, it seems to me that he is still a bit confused.
Ah, well, wait, let's look at the Uribe issue and then we'll continue with the comments.
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] United, has come.
United.
We continue.
We continue with the same narrative, we continue with the same social groups, we continue with the same narrative that wants to sell us UI as the sole cause of all evils in the present era.
And as we say here on this program, we have been very critical of the positions taken by former President Uribe, but we must also recognize his courage in confronting them head-on. " Eh," Fernando Yavel said, "They have to kill me first, they have to kill me." And if that's what we're going to end up with in Colombia, whether it's Abelardo or Paloma, today's message for the Colombian people is that we have to rise up and defend ourselves for our own freedom, because this is what the dark forces of the extreme left will do in their different forms from day one of taking office, whether it's Paloma or Belardo.
So, Fernando, the courage of former President Uribe.
Yes, I find the whole thing a bit strange.
I also saw the video of the counterpart, a young boy, Muriel, something like that, uh, who was the one who led the painting of that mural.
I was in Llano Grande and they tell me that I asked a friend today where that wall was located in relation to Uribe's house. He tells me it was three blocks away. In other words, I'm left wondering whether that mural is part of Uribe's property or not.
According to the person from Llano Grande, no, that's three blocks from the access to Lina's property, because that's the property of Lina's father. That's where I get a little lost. I don't know if that is actually part of Lina's property or not. What did cause a stir, let's say, was that the mural being painted by those from the historical pact made reference to the deaths caused by the... what do you call it? The Ave Maria and the false positives. 6602.
Yes, but now they've risen to a much higher number.
Ah, sure, sure. They invent the narrative and exaggerate them. Yes of course.
Exact. So then the mural was with the 7,000 and something that the JEP is talking about right now and that's what prompted his return to Llano Grande, uh, that the president wanted to do his duty. So, I don't know if this is just another excuse from Uribe to claim that the mural was on his property or not, something that needs to be clarified.
The people of Llano Grande tell me no, that it is not part of Álvaro Uribe's property. So, if it's not on Álvaro Uribe's property, do these people have the right to paint a mural there or not?
Uh, we still don't know of a law that prevents graffiti and murals in Colombia, right? So, really, it seems to me a fact, uh, let's say that in its beginning or in its seed it seems a bit unusual to me. I don't know if that is actually on Álvar Orive's property or not. What I do find curious is the reaction. Let's assume he is there or he isn't. If he's not there, then why the reaction from Álvaro Oribe? He says that because they were, let's say, damaging his memory, which is true of his government. So, let's talk about their reaction. What I do find unusual is that the incident occurred even though it is not on Orive's property. If it's not on Orive property, well, those walls can be painted by anyone in any city in Colombia, even without any order, even if they are on private property. That's an appalling public abuse. Uh, our fellow panelist actually wrote a rather interesting editorial about graffiti that's worth commenting on. So that makes it clear to me.
What did follow was a violent, head-on fight, which I do not think is right at all, regardless of its origin. And these people will do anything.
Even a councilman showed up there, the councilman with the bat, and they almost threw him out with knives, right? In other words, it's a direct social confrontation that seems very deliberate to me, and what did make me curious is that the 20 or 25 motorcycles that were in the police force didn't prevent either one thing or the other. Wow, very, very curious. I would like to clarify whether or not that is private property.
So, the thing is, and I'm asking José Abel this, if I go to the José Abel National University to paint a mural of Lauriano Gómez, what's the big deal about saying good afternoon to José Abel?
At the very least, he could be attacked by the urban militias of the National Army.
that not like from there to from there upwards whatever I want. The police can take him away.
Well, all that means if I can't paint a mural of Lauriano Gómez at the National University, because these people can point and look at them wherever they want, and in that sense, because let's not forget that what is going to happen and what these types of social movements and collectives have always sought is permanent confrontation with the aim of producing a social explosion. So, what they 're giving us here is a series of hints, to the point that Iván Cepeda's vice president has already announced that if Iván Cepeda doesn't win, one of them will step down, and all the mingas (protest groups) in the country will take to the streets, José Abel. So they can do it, but I can't.
What we need here are precisely leaders who do not capitulate to terrorism, because unfortunately that is what happened with Iván Duque and they sell a false narrative to the country, which is that they do it because they don't want the country to burn, that they don't want there to be more deaths. That was the ridiculousness of Iván Duque, for example, when the Primera Línea, the Primera Línea terrorist group, set the country on fire and murdered civilians, he did everything, saying no, he didn't declare a state of internal commotion because then he was giving them the benefit of the doubt. And?
So what do we do? Let them do what they want, and then the institutions cannot enforce the rules.
And that's where the double standard lies, because many police officers talk so much about the law, about the law of the law, but they only talk about Law 1801, the one that suits them, the police code, to make their daily deals.
But the other rule, for example, the Constitution, which is the rule of rules and the principle of constitutional supremacy, that is something nobody takes into account, including the President of the Republic. So, with even more reason and motivation, we have to choose someone who has publicly stated that if a criminal, wherever he comes from, is going to set fire to a KAI, is going to assault a police officer, is going to set fire to public transportation, is going to block important roads for the transport of food and, well, all of Colombia's commercial activity, then he is going to take him down. That's what we need right now, because right now we have a few accomplices and a whole lot of other criminals entrenched in the powers of the State who invoke the law only to give total impunity and room to maneuver to terrorism and violence and all that is anarchy.
But the rule does not exist when it comes to protecting citizens, people in a state of defenselessness.
So, what's needed here is, as Dr. Enrique Gómez was saying a moment ago, someone has to pull back the curtain because the way we are with this narrative, they're leading us astray, and the question you ask, professor, is totally valid. Terrorism does what it wants, it goes wherever it wants and then invoking the right to protest, also supported by certain media outlets like Blue Radio, which says that urban terrorism, vandalism and the blocking of important roads in the country's capital cities are affecting the mobility of others. more citizens, because that is the right to protest. That's the narrative we need to change. We cannot fall into this trap, we cannot continue because we have already fallen into the trap, but we cannot continue playing along with the story that urban terrorism is carried out in public universities, that chemistry laboratories are used to manufacture Molotov cocktails and do all this under the shield of university autonomy.
And we cannot allow them to commit terrorism at all levels on private property in the nation's capitals and block the roads through which merchants move their goods and through which the country's food is moved, risking food security. We cannot allow that in the name of protest. The Constitution is very clear. The protest must be peaceful.
But here they've already changed the narrative on us, overriding constitutional provisions, moreover. So, here's what's needed: seriousness. Someone serious, someone who says, "No, gentlemen, I really liked it when he, and many Colombians liked it when Dr. Abelardo said on Caracol that someone who, in the name of social protest, commits violence, terrorism, and is violating the fundamental rights of other citizens, had to be taken down." What those terrorists who go out to destroy everything in the streets haven't learned by heart is that their rights end where the rights of others begin. So they have a blank check. I don't know who would sign them, who would give them that check to do whatever they want. And then, when it comes to the order of the institutions and defending the defenseless population, then they are rigorous with the rules. No, no, we must respect, we must respect, but they respect us.
So, here the roles were reversed, here the order of things was reversed, and this needs to be called by its name. And yes, the criminals must be annihilated. The President of the United States and the Secretary of War of the United States speak directly of annihilating criminals who [snort] are bringing drugs into the United States and who are acting against the interests of the United States. And we are no more Christian than Christ; the United States is more civilized than Colombia.
That much is clear. So, they talk about annihilating their enemies, and we don't. We are here in a state of passivity, in a fallacy, in a hypocrisy that makes it difficult to understand who designed this situation, which is so hard to comprehend.
But all the more reason, teacher, we need someone who calls things by their name and whose hand doesn't tremble. If he has to lock down the country to defeat urban terrorism, let him do it, let the citizens do it. That is the mandate he will give to the next president.
At this moment, Aston Villa is beating Freiburg of Germany 3-0 in the Conference League final, one of the tournaments invented by UEFA to increase its exorbitant profits in the world of business and sports. And with respect to what Fernando Yabel says, let's look at Mr. Petro's delirious speech in his crazy address at the Wednesday ministerial councils that are becoming the Tuesdays that are becoming the material for this program. We're going to miss him when he's gone.
All the facades of our houses are public, they are not private property. a rule that is forgotten. I practiced it in Bogotá and allowed graffiti because graffiti is a work of art or free expression. So we know, right? In cities, young people have been killed while painting graffiti.
[snort] The facades are public property, not by order of the current government, but for decades. I don't remember what the rule was that made companies. So, I want to tell the public to show respect during election periods, not because it's a crime to paint a mural of Lauriano Gómez. Fernando, let's go and paint it to see what it has to offer, but look, but look, let's go to the Nariño house. Let's go to the Nariño Palace and say that since the facades are public, then we'll paint an image of Lauriano Gómez in Congress. Let's see what happens to us, Abel.
Professor, but look, look at the hook of the terrorist Gustavo Petro, because there is no other word to define him. I don't remember the rule, the rule simply doesn't exist. And if such a rule existed, it turns out that the Constitution states that in case of incompatibility between the Constitution and the laws, the constitutional provisions will prevail, and the Constitution guarantees private property to its citizens. So, let's not assume this crazy guy is telling the truth, even though we know it's a lie, because no law says that I can go and paint the neighbor's facade, just because I felt like it, because it's public property, that's totally absurd. But assuming someone did it in secret, then the Constitution automatically overturns that by virtue of the principle of constitutional supremacy.
So, of course, there are the seals applauding his outrageous behavior.
That's completely false. No rule says that. The guy is completely crazy and they should respect him. Those who deserve respect are the criminals.
Because then some stressed-out citizen shoots a criminal because he's damaging his private property, his house, and then they come out and tear their clothes in outrage.
But then, why not encourage a campaign of respect, of recognition of others and of other people's property? But of course, look, here we have a president who, with that message, is practically telling the graffiti artists to go ahead, to keep going, that they have the green light, to go and paint whatever they want, but that brute doesn't remember the rule. So, we're very, very caught up in that narrative. Yes, but it's not true. That's not true.
I agree with José. That law and that decree do not exist. What does exist, which the gentleman, in his schizophrenia, suddenly confuses, is that the facades of buildings are indeed for common use, but within the private property of the building. Perhaps that's what he's confused about, but private property is an asset, it's part of the constitutionality of this country, and it's not true that facades are for public use. That is an absolute ignorance of the Constitution and the laws, like everything Petro does, so what is serious is what is happening at the CNE. I do think that we should dedicate a little time to analyzing what a survey is, what a poll is.
And note the speed with which the magistrate, in just four weeks, ruled without taking it to the full court, that gentlemen of Atla Intel should not make the results of the surveys public. That's arbitrary, that's malfeasance, isn't it, José Abel?
I think that's where he's completely failing in his duties, but so is the representative of the Democratic Center on the National Electoral Council, Mr. Prada. So I do think that's very complex, but look, in four weeks the magistrate and she already believed herself to be from the council to declare what she declared. without going to the full chamber, but they have taken more than 4 years to verify and, uh, to have the evidence of the exceeding of the limits in Petro's campaign. They're not very diligent about that, but what does worry me is that they're removing an expression 12 days before the first round of elections, because what's the difference between a poll and a survey, Rafael? And we need to be clear about that.
Anyone can go and say what their opinion is in a poll.
For example, let's do a survey. Who are you going to vote for, Fernando?
I'm going to vote for Abelardo.
José Abel, who are you going to vote for?
By Abelardo.
Ready. 100% of this polling station will vote for Abelardo. That's breaking a law, is n't it? That's a poll that I don't know, according to the law, cannot be published. According to the law, according to the law.
The law says that Paloma, among others, approved that law.
The law, the law only includes surveys, not polls.
Clear. Enton ah, well, uh, no se extralim, se extralimitó. José Abel has some meat for the chicken there if he wants it. Why doesn't that judge, José Abel, sue? and for exceeding its functions, for privatizing.
Yes, the point is to identify what's behind it.
Furthermore, that's the issue because, of course, one can file an emergency injunction, a protective measure, a provisional measure, because she is violating Article 20 of the Constitution, for example, which has to do with information and also the right to participate in order to elect and be elected, because in any case, the candidates also have that right to know how they are doing and that is not a crime. But the bigger question is who is paying for that because they were driving very recklessly. That's what's so striking. They were coming in wildly, giving out survey results almost every day, and then suddenly they put the brakes on.
Because Abel, because the tiger Abelard came first, José Abel. That 's the only reason. Yes, but the reason I heard from the gentleman from the technical department of the National Electoral Council was that surveys, not polls, can be done, but they cannot be published according to the law. The survey can be conducted and published, and that's why Semana magazine is being banned. I think there are two differences. Or the survey is the one we just did. The survey, the poll, the survey is that they randomly select someone to give an opinion from a selective group of that. But the underlying problem, and this must be said, is that the pollsters, the surveys they are conducting, which inflate Cepeda's numbers, they don't take those firms into account. Instead, it is the Intel survey that currently has the technological instrument that has given the best result worldwide in accurately predicting the votes. Well, that's true for me, what Atlas Intel does is more of a survey than a fundraiser, even though they don't select the people who participate. Anyone who wants to can participate. Then they argue that if you bring 500 people from our side to participate in the Intel survey, then it inflates the survey. Let's say it's a concept about subjectivity that needs clarifying, but it seems to me that deep down it undermines any kind of democratic opinion, regardless of the form the survey takes. It is also not significant because ultimately the big poll is on election day. So, there are many formulas for measuring electoral trends, and they can be accurate or not.
Ultimately, it has no significance because the only important one is the one on the 31st.
So there they are getting into a matter of violating the freedom of democratic expression. And I think that there, both Prada and the magistrate of the historical pact, I think that in my opinion they are prevaricating, that is, and additionally they are not taking their presentation to the plenary session, which is the one that approves that in a public manner those types of ordinances are issued, such as the one that the magistrate issued, which is absolutely selective.
Furthermore, with the aggravating factor you mention, right, Fernando? In the sense that it was Congresswoman Paloma Valencia, along with Congresswoman Angélica Lozano and their friend Claudio López, who promoted this new survey law with the aim of broadening the objective scope of each survey, which was very limited in number.
They expanded it to include rural areas, and that's why the CP candidate is winning in some parts of the country; because they broadened the scope of the universe that the surveys call "the universe," and the polling firms let themselves be taken in.
Paloma Valencia Abel participated in that. As we mentioned at the beginning of the program, José Abel said that Paloma Valencia received the full support of Congress, and for everything Paloma Valencia fought for during her life as a congresswoman, now everything is in her favor.
José Abel commented on the congressional regime closing ranks around Paloma Valencia.
The establishment wants to guarantee the continuity of the status quo and they'll do whatever it takes because of the blow they could receive. Not only will their shady interests be compromised, but what will start to be uncovered will also come to light.
If things have been uncovered— the filth of this government— with Petro in power, what will it be like when he leaves and someone completely opposed to this shady system of government we have now takes over?
I think it will be very difficult to accept.
That explains, that explains the desperation they have. The first to offer her support, one of the first to offer her backing in Congress for Paloma's candidacy was the conservative, who is an example for you, Professor Rafael, whom you admire and respect so much.
Efraín Cepeda, do you remember the speech he gave? Yes, I remember the speech he gave, a very patriotic speech, very patriotic, very... here they give him a part, like in the style of Councilor Guri, he brought the duck today, José Ael, surely not, professor, look, professor, look and pay attention because to close the topic of the polls, it is not illegal at this time to publish polls. Do you know when it was illegal to publish polls? before October 31 of last year, because polls can be published starting 3 months before the registration of candidates. That is, candidates began registering in February and the last ones were in March. So, from November 1st, surveys could be published until May 31st. There is no legal restriction at this time as such.
There are some operational requirements, and that is that the survey has to be probable, it has to be proven, it has to be scientific and representative, it has to show the interest of the electorate. That was the way around it, José Abel, to increase the size of the representative sample. That was the objective of Paloma's law. It was objective, and the other thing is that it has to indicate the margin of error and the confidence level and explain the methodology that was used.
Those are like the four basic foundations of the survey. So, at this moment there is no rule that says no. The magistrate, the magistrate did overstep her bounds, and of course, since I am acting at the public's request, I am proceeding, so don't worry, we'll see what we can do between now and tomorrow. That's the least of it.
This, well, very good.
But then, but then, professor, we have to learn from the loyalty of Dr. Efraín Cepeda, who supports what truly benefits the country.
He is a guardian of the Constitution and of democracy.
With the right hand.
With your right hand, yes? No, with the right hand, right? Uh-huh. Yes.
[laughs] Being 354 and a gold chain here and a gold necklace too, right? At 3:54 in the afternoon, Ángela Sánchez Cadena, the decline of Uribe with a paint roller.
That makes sense, doesn't it? How true.
Gloria González.
We are more than 15 million consistent and steadfast Colombian patriots.
Olga Velázquez ties between Cep between Cepella and de la Prella.
Hmm, I don't think so, you know, Olga? I don't think so. We'll see why.
Dracerol.
Here from Bogotá with this little dog that drives us crazy.
Profeiguri was dismissed.
Uh, I think you could win a lawsuit over that debate, right?
Will the time ever come to fight for freedom and democracy? We are already fighting and the objective of this program, the beginning of this program a decade ago now, Fernando, was precisely that. We already had a vision of what was coming and we started this program, Fernando, and we've been at it for a decade now.
Nobody has asked me about the surveys. Yes, that's another one, isn't it? Fernando and Abel conduct surveys, they conduct surveys, and they never call you, do they? They never ask him anything, not even by email. You never get a call beforehand. Before, at least they'd call the house phone and you'd answer, but now [clears throat] you just do n't know how they're doing that thing anymore, right? The dollar, the dollar closed higher this afternoon, Fernando.
3796.
3796.
Some analysts believe that depending on the outcome in 12 days, Abel and Fernando will either be 1000 pesos higher, that is, towards 4700, or 1000 pesos lower, that is, towards 2700.
In that sense, I would prefer that we be higher. Fernando, but who makes it go upwards and who makes it go downwards?
If Paloma and Abelardo win, then we're going downhill. If Cepeda wins, the price will automatically go up because you're taking dollars out of the market.
Okay. So, remember that the representative market rate has its equilibrium point based on supply and demand. Okay. So, economically it would be if you, wait, if you have this market that is worth 1,000 pesos and you take the $1,000 out of the market, automatically the price goes up. So, if he gets drunk and wins the first round, what are you going to do? Are you going to leave your money or take it out? Fernando, what would your common sense tell you?
No, well, it's time to take it out.
So, what would you do? Does he leave the dollars or take them out?
I take it out immediately.
Clear. Then market pressure pulls outwards and automatically raises the price of the dollar with unexpected speed and [clears throat] that has inflationary implications, it has implications for interest rates and it will have implications later on the issue of unemployment.
If you win, Tiger Abelardo Paloma, depending on the margin of error, then the market remains still and more dollars are likely to arrive. So, when more dollars enter the market, the price automatically drops and the currency begins to fluctuate between the strength of the Colombian peso against the dollar, in quotes. So, in that scenario of ideas, the financial sector believes that if CPEDA wins, it could automatically go up to 1500 pesos above where it is at the moment, and also in a very quick period, because remember, Fernando and Abel, if we don't win in the first round, either with Paloma or with El Tigre, we have a month left, right?
A month of pitched battle, and in that scenario, it's every man for himself. Yes of course. And I think that in that month there won't be any law or order that will matter, right?
Because if what's happening right now is happening, imagine what will happen when he wins in the first round and the other candidate either wins or loses, that's going to be a fratricidal war, truly, a very complex political landscape. But let's talk about your economic analysis. Notice that, curiously, if either De la Prella or Paloma wins and the dollar tends to fall, the most affected will be the foreign exchange earnings from Colombian exports.
So, that's a very complex situation because obviously incomes are down, complex, but in return, let's say there's an unprecedented supply, if it happens again like 4 years ago, where Petro got 1,900,000 votes basically in the departments where cocaine is produced, which is somewhat the strategy they want to use again now. So, I would say that a lot of dollars are coming in so that this strategy is effective in buying votes. So, we're at a horrible, horrible black market crossroads.
But here we have discussed the topic of smurfing on several occasions and in our various opinion columns, both on your blog and in my opinion column, and nobody stopped us. Fernando.
So, uh uh Wilson Wilson Moreno says that if he wins he'll be drunk, freedom hangs by a thread. I don't.
Since Petro won, freedom was already hanging by a thread. That's why it was important to stop Petro in the elections or to stop him in the mayor's office. And that's what people didn't understand. nor the establishment. The establishment, as José Abel rightly says, did not understand the true threat that these people represent to democracy and was swayed by Mr. Petro's narrative, first in the mayor's office and then in the presidency, and then they were left high and dry, right, Fernando? Because, as my mother José Abel rightly says, let's see if they already had the experience of Bogotá, so why would they re-elect him as president? And my lady Mar is absolutely right, if we already had the experience of Bogotá, why did we allow him to become president? Whose fault is it then? Well, it's from us that we don't allow it from anyone else.
And I hear, I hear an ambulance, Fernando, and the advice is that we shouldn't get sick, right? Because I don't know if you have been to the clinics there in the place where you are, José Abel, I imagine the emergency room. Have you been to an emergency room lately, José Abel? There in the area where you are located.
Yes, teacher. And they're completely taken over.
They look like a battlefield, don't they, Fernando? gone to an emergency room, for example, here to Marley or to the one for the heart, uh, what's it called? The one in Toverín, the children's cardiology clinic. Have you been to the emergency room at the children's cardiology clinic, Fernando? It's been a while since I've been, but it's a really depressing place, isn't it? It's very depressing.
Depressing. You're already in, and that's depressing. It's best if they don't get sick, right? And then, amidst all the madness we are seeing, José Abel and Fernando, Abelardo filled the Vallear square. That is the only real survey that exists right now in Vallear.
[music] AP Cuello, José Abel, entered the ranch.
But tough, really tough. Valledupar is one of the most politically complicated departments in Colombia. I am sure that in that square there were former voters of the Ape Cuello party. In Valledupar there is a saying that is very important.
There's a mango tree in the plaza of Valedupar, isn't there? And there's a saying that goes that if people pass the mango tree, they become president, and the only one who's passed it is the one from La Priella, and it's Alfonso López Square, right? It's a liberal position, it can't be that square, can it?
José Abel, [snort] What, teacher?
Which is the most liberal Alfonso López square. That can't be the square, can it?
Yes, teacher. And it's curious because things have changed quite a bit. The conservative strongholds of the past are now strongholds of the left and liberalism and places of liberal tradition.
Now they're kind of leaning to the right. Well, that's what the dynamic is all about, isn't it?
What they call the pendulum of history as such, because let's remember that both the Cesar department and the Bolivar department were created by former president Alfonso Lopez to please the political class of both Cesar and Bolivar. Sorry, that's the truth. That's how they were born, that's how César Bolívar and Córdoba were born. So, that's why you see that amalgamation of interests that we've also discussed on this program, that classic political class, the cronyism of that area, who take turns, as Álvaro Orisa mentioned at some point on this program, they take turns depending. Then I hand over the power to Fernando. Fernando passes it to him, he passes it to me, and we take turns and divide it up in order to seize budgets from mayoral offices, governorships, congresses, the Senate, and that's how we all work together. Then, until there comes a moment when everything breaks down and suddenly people broke down in this Fernando, at this moment, Fernando, the people will be that they have awareness and woke up because of this fervor that the tiger Abelardo is producing, I had n't seen it for a very long time. Fernando, perhaps at times you remind me to keep things in perspective when suddenly you did see Álvaro Gómez when he was leaving the streets in the constituent assembly, for example. Uh, we are suddenly seeing that level of fervor with Tiger Abelardo, who at this moment must be heading to the Tarimazo in the Plaza del Lourdes. Fernando Bogotá. Here's your tiger. See you tomorrow at a big demonstration in Lourdes Park at 5 pm. We are going to send out a loud roar so that the usual suspects, the establishment, the radical left, understand that there is a pack that has risen up, that will confront them and defeat them to change politics forever.
Thank you Bogotá, I'll see you tomorrow in Lourdes at 5 pm, standing firm for the homeland.
[music] Chirme for the homeland.
How is that trip to Lourdes right now, Fernando? It must be almost full by now because it's already 5 o'clock, right? Well, I don't know. Look, Rafael, I've had a few surprises. I think that the environment in which one moves somewhat influences one's tendencies. Well, the atmosphere you can breathe in Unicentro is very different from the one you can breathe in Ciudad Bolívar or Bosa, okay. The atmosphere one can breathe in the countryside is very different.
So, if you ask me in the field, and I say this with firsthand knowledge, there's a strong tendency for it to be left-leaning. If you go to Ciudad Bolívar in Bogotá, which is so complex, Bogotá has become a left-wing city, there the activists of Abelardo and Paloma have to fight very hard against Cepeda, quite the contrary and with the danger of [clears throat] of public lynching, right? It's like what happened to Carlos Ayala, who was the first, remember Fernando and Abel, Carlos Ayala Orosco was the first to denounce that he goes everywhere with the same buses of the indigenous minga. There are 30 buses, they've already got it figured out. There's a file about that here, I think it's this one. Let's see, Fernand.
[music] [music] [music] [music] [music] It's the same 30 buses that go everywhere with the CPA candidate and they've already got him hooked. And Carlos Sayala was the first to mention the presence of the indigenous friend from Cauca at the demonstrations of candidate Cepeda José Abel. So today we have Tigre Abelardo Lourdes, Cepeda, I think he's somewhere in the south and Paloma is also in Bogotá.
Nothing's going to happen to us, Fernando, not a chance. Let's stay in the house here with the dog barking, because why dare to go back again? Although I would dare to go to Lourdes, Fernando, to see the return. How is? The tiger Abelardo awakened the people on one hand and shook up the ruling class of the country on the other.
I do believe, I do believe that there is at least a sector, that 30, that 35%, that tends to have, uh, Abelardo, in the trends. Note that in this business of surveys and polls, the only thing that seems important to me to analyze are the trends, that is, the most relevant data that they all have added together. That trend is worth appreciating, and in all the trends, the only one that is observed growing and growing is CEDA Paloma, which is falling, and CPEDA, which is static. So that needs to be analyzed very carefully.
And the only certainty is that Tiger Abelardo remained in second place the whole time.
All the time. There is no, there is no, there is no, they couldn't bring him down even though they were criticizing him more for Paloma's campaign than for Cepeda's own campaign.
By the way, the progressives have infiltrated this group; we ask them to please be respectful and prudent in their comments.
Hey, but they got in on us, Fernando, and then they think that by making speeches and insulting us they're going to silence us, but they're not going to silence us. We'll keep talking about it here, even if these people who want to seize power don't like it, just like they 're doing in Bolivia. A completely poor country, a country totally impoverished because of years of Evo Morales. And then Pasa Mora, a conservative, came to power in Bolivia. And look what's happening in Bolivia. I have it here, if it even shows up.
We turn to the crisis in Bolivia, where the latest protests against President Rodrigo Paz devolved into vandalism and looting on Monday. The demonstrations that began in early May have expanded into a nationwide movement, with protesters pressuring the government to address the rising cost of living, and some even calling for a peaceful resignation. According to F, several groups tried to advance towards the government headquarters and attacked public buildings, cable car stations and also shops, while the police responded with tear gas. Morales, who governed Bolivia from 2006 to 2019, has supported the protests.
So, these people think they can intimidate us, they think they can take the right to verbally attack us on social media, as Fernando has rightly denounced in all his comments on social media, the verbal aggression of these people, because that's what the left and socialism are like.
When the left is not in power, or when socialism is not in power, what it does is generate more chaos, as happened with the so-called social uprising, which was nothing more than an urban takeover of Colombian cities to produce the election of Mr. Petro later during Duque's government, and Duque allowed it. That 's the truth. If we had reacted as we should have, perhaps Mr. Petro would not have been president. Now they want to do the same experiment in Bolivia, a people and a country that has been the subject of the social experiment of communism in different forms of struggle for decades. To such an extent that Cheegevara arrived there, and to such an extent that Chegueevara was decommissioned, and to such an extent, Fernando, that at the National University they have immortalized Chegueara. So, what would happen to me if I painted a picture of Lordano Gómez at the National University? José Abel.
Then there comes a time when either you defend yourself with Councilor Guri Guri's bat or we'll see what happens, but we're not going to let it go, Fernando and Abel, we're not going to let it go with all this verbal violence from the progressivism that has taken over our youth, precisely because it has not defended itself with courage and with our conservative principles. We understand that a counter-reaction is beginning to emerge in public universities due to a neo-conservative movement, led by Fernando Yavel, promoting new conservative trends of the 21st century within public universities, which are tired of the anarchism into which the country's public universities have fallen. One extreme leads to the other. And if you want to see us in Bolívar Square, we'll see you there. We have no fear here. We are not afraid of anyone because if we have to defend ourselves here, then we will defend ourselves, Fernando, let's see if that's what they want. If in Bolivia the people of La Paz are already reacting against the people of El Alto, and that is what they want in terms of confrontation, remember, Fernando, the nights of fear we lived through in Bogotá, when the people of Toderín began to take to the streets and the people of Cedritos to defend themselves against the people of Toderín. If that's what they want. Ready. Let's see how far we get, yes or no, Fernando?
Yes, we are really reaching a point of desperation and exorbitant fanaticism, but you know what, we can say at this moment, regardless of who wins on May 1st, that Abelardo generated an impressive political phenomenon. In other words, the Abelardo phenomenon is against the usual suspects and against the narco-terrorism that is governing today. This new political class has already been born in Colombia, independent of the election results, and that will make a big difference in Colombia's political future. That new politician, that new political group, that new movement, whatever we call it, that repudiates the same old faces, the same old politicking and corruption, and that repudiates the narco-terrorism embodied in Petro's government and which Cepeda intends to continue, is already a relevant and very important political figure, and he is second in command. That will completely change the political history of the country.
José Abel showed us enlightened courage at a time when we had lost everything. And although Abelardo may not be considered a complete success due to his humble origins in Montería and Valleupar, José Abel dared to take the plunge, and that is what we value in this editorial line. who dared to go against the pre-established regime, as Álvaro Gómez Hurtado said. And there he is, José Ael. The only certainty is that Abelardo remained in second place and is now in first place in the polls. That's the only one, really, that there is about that topic. And if Colombian society doesn't react as it should, as Racelón says, well, it deserves its fate, Josabel, because with all the examples we have of us continuing to vote for a man and a political and economic system like the one Mr. Cepeda wants to impose, then Colombia deserves its fate, from José Ael.
Yes, look, I was looking at the issue of Bolivia and curiously Petro spoke out saying what he knows how to say, Petro being Petro, that this is the expression of the offended popular masses and that they are already being killed. And then the Bolivian government very kindly expelled the Colombian ambassador from Bolivia because, well, obviously she was interfering in their internal affairs. Do you remember Colombia and Chile in 2019?
Yes. They simultaneously set fire to Colombia and Chile. They set Chile on fire. Then remember, remember that at that moment, Dios Cabello produced a famous phrase, right? And the little breeze, the Bolivarian breeze. And then Duque, uh Fernando, within his political globalism, uh said, "The best thing we can do for our Venezuelan brothers and sisters is to open our borders."
At that moment we said, "Oh no, what a lovely guy." But later we realized that this was in response to the policy of migrant globalization promoted by Soros and the UN. well, in order to destabilize governments. And then he arrived with them and said, "We're going to send you some Bolivarian sympathizers.
Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, Quito, Lima, Santiago, Santiago.
Yes, curiously, nothing ever happened in Brazil.
So, nothing happened in Mexico either. And nothing happened in Biden's United States either.
And nothing happened in Biden's United States either. So, we have to put up with these Bolivarian visits and we can't defend ourselves.
Well, there will come a time when we will defend ourselves, and if that's what they want, look, there are more than a few of us here who are willing to defend our property, our lives, and our honor so that Colombia doesn't fall into the clutches of communism. And to this disoriented youth who are led astray by these social narratives, well, why don't they go to Venezuela or go to Cuba?
To Cuba, to Cuba, where the prosecution of the dictatorship has already begun, or to Haiti, why do they want to impose a failed model on us? A failed model. A failed model, moreover.
Sooner or later This whole youth attacking us today, José Abel, is doing its job well. Sooner or later, this disoriented youth will fall into the clutches of Cepeda's socialist orangutan, and they'll try to escape, but then they won't be able to get out, just like the Venezuelan youth couldn't.
So, I don't know, Fernando, what more message can we give to this disoriented youth, given that it's almost 4:22 in the afternoon? What can we say? Is it a setback? Is it a generational setback? Is it an identity crisis? Or is it that we haven't defended with what we should have?
Look, regarding some comments from the leftists in the comments section, we need to clarify that what's governing right now is pure mediocrity.
And that's measured by the number of mediocre, inept, and incapable ministers Petro has had. The big difference between what's being proposed Right now, with figures like José Manuel Restrepo, rector of four universities, former minister of two portfolios with doctorates, it's clear that excellence is what governs, versus what we 've seen in Petro's government, which is mediocrity, ineptitude, and an astonishing incapacity, you see? But additionally, there are the results. The results we see in Petro's government are the greatest indebtedness in Colombian history, because they've stolen the money and generated deficits that they've covered with external debt. And what does that translate to? That Colombians are the ones who have to pay for it and they have no way to do so. In other words, it's going to generate much more poverty.
But if we add to that the fact that Colombia's gross domestic product has only grown by 2%, it means that there has been no productivity in Colombia under Petro's government, and what is being proposed is precisely a business-oriented scheme and vision that generates high productivity so that there are no taxes, which is what Mr. Petro has done.
Petro, but rather that productivity and greater wealth should generate taxes based on productivity, which is how a state should be planned, and not on the basis of taxation. So, managing the economy under ideological guidelines is one thing, and managing ideology under productivity-based approaches is another, which is what it generates.
Therefore, there are huge, abysmal differences in what our listeners are saying. And there's an issue, Fernando, within political ideas, when you examine the structure of what is known as socialism, Karl Marx, in opposition to the utopian socialists, imposed ideological unanimity.
And anyone who went against that ideological unanimity, which is what happens in public universities and among this disoriented youth, would be attacked and subjected to the yoke of the voice and the hammer, which is what happens in Colombian public universities today. A young person who tries to rise up against the anarchism that exists within public universities Today, well, we already know what's going to happen to him.
So, when you have ideological unanimity and [clears throat] you only find it in verbal violence, as we're seeing in today's comments, there's no rationality worth anything. Fernando and José Abel, there comes a point when you have to answer, yes or no?
José Abel fell asleep. Yes, but in addition to that, there's another big difference.
No, no, Fernando, you've already started, and now I'll continue. There's an abysmal difference, and that is that Petro's government was based on all the progressive, left-wing globalist theories that want to destroy the core of society, which is the family, versus what de la Espriella proposes, which is the consolidation of the family and of women as the axis of the family to generate values and principles that in Petro's project are completely blurred by the walk culture, by the indoctrination of children in schools, by sex reassignment surgery, by The gender ideology, the 2030 agenda, versus the establishment of a market-driven economy as a natural element, with the family, values, and principles already fully defined from a progressive perspective. So, these are two completely different scenarios. One is the strengthening of the family, and the other is complete social and ethical degeneration in all values, which is what Petro proposed and what Cepeda clearly wants to continue.
[clears throat] The class woke up today, Fernando. We need to read and be informed, remember Nicaragua, Cuba. People don't care, this disoriented youth doesn't care. They don't care about what the Cuban people have lived through, the Nicaraguan people, all of Central America, what Mexico is experiencing with drug trafficking, what Cauca has experienced. These people don't care.
What Venezuela has experienced, Rafael. What Venezuela experienced, for God's sake.
Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America, by far. And today it has 92% absolute poverty, and today we should be richer than Dubai or the Middle Arab countries, and this disoriented youth, José Abel, uh, uh, they don't care about anything at all.
They're willing to end the fear of the [ __ ] and finish us off. What would you say, José Abel, when Senator Alexander López says he's alive by a miracle? A senator from the Green Party of the FARC says he's alive by a miracle because of a FARC attack. José, and when was that attack, professor? Yesterday, the night before last, or last night, I think it was.
Alexander López has a huge debt to the country because he appeared on screen in 2019 next to the front lines, attacking and attacking the police. So, it's that lack of institutional seriousness that has us finished, because the Constitution speaks of political crimes, which are three: rebellion, sedition, and rioting. And sedition is precisely creating paramilitary groups to attack the state itself. It turns out that when a public official falls into that error, into that crime, Well, it 's doubly criminal because he 's committing crimes from within the institution. It's very different for a parishioner to get up and throw a stone than for a senator or a representative to do so, because they are obligated to act within the institutional order, within the legal framework.
But these people, including Alexander López, well, we saw them there, and they owe explanations, just like Claudia López, just like the left, Gustavo, the two Gustavos, Claudio, Gustavo Petro himself. Claudia López came and told the kids, "No, you can sneak onto TransMilenio and nothing will happen to you." So, what are we seeing today at the TransMilenio stations, like on 76th Street, with the "angels" from the Pedagogical University who think they can abuse authority and think they can sneak on every day, and when someone tells them no, then they get killed?
So there comes a point, there comes a point when you have to answer to them.
Of course. And that's precisely the problem, professor. That crime is institutionalized. Crime is practically legalized. Look, for example, legally speaking, the Supreme Court of Justice committed a blunder, a legalistic mess, with EPA Colombia, because it turns out that EPA Colombia was invited by Gustavo Bolívar, Gustavo Petro, Alexander López, Intías Prilla, Pizarro, that whole pack, to do what they did.
Well, the Supreme Court of Justice is prosecuting it, but where are the masterminds? Where are the intellectual actors?
And with the aggravating factor, professor, that the Supreme Court of Justice is the natural judge of congressmen, and there are congressmen behind that frontline terrorist group. Wouldn't it be Gustavo Bolívar, being a congressman, asking for money for the frontline to buy them helmets and vests? That's creating a paramilitary force.
So, with that institutional structure that exists in Colombia, where they do things backward, sometimes they don't do them at all, other times they omit their duty, for example, the Supreme Court of Justice let Santrich escape and They take Iván Márquez and then issue a detention order when he's already in Venezuela, rifles in hand, safe and sound. That's disrespectful to the citizens. Then there's the case of Calarcá, right?
The case of Calarcá, to go so far afield.
Look, there's Calarcá now because Alexander López is alive by a miracle after an attack he suffered in Calarcá. So, yes, and who freed Calarcá, professor? The Attorney General, the state itself, and that general we have there.
So, the issue is that we're going to be forced to confront the fact that sooner or later, society is going to take its stand, either on this mural or on this mural.
Whoever crosses that mural, you'll be in trouble, because the state wasn't capable of safeguarding the well-being, honor, and property of the citizens, as stated in Article One of the Constitution of the Armed Forces.
So, you're experiencing this in the agricultural sector, which is very familiar with it. You're experiencing it as it already is. They're violating property lines, for example, and if you try to tell someone not to move their fence, a problem arises.
So, how are we going to defend ourselves, José? Well, sooner or later you'll become a councilman, kid. If someone comes to my apartment to paint my door, I'll grab my bat and defend myself. That's the level we're going to reach.
Fernando.
Yes. The anarchy this government has created is so great that talking about justice and enforcing it is an illusion.
The system is so powerful that crime does whatever it wants, drug trafficking does whatever it wants, drug traffickers and criminals are caught red-handed and within two days, or the same day, or even that same night, they're released.
Then, obviously, a guy like Esplella comes along, who wants robust justice, and then comments like Mr. Hernando Lozano's come out... Comments that say they are a danger to the rule of law.
Give me a break.
Paloma is more dangerous, and even more dangerous is CPED, in the sense that CPED represents radicalization. Therein lies the theoretical and practical praxis of the discourse of the carnivorous left of the 21st century.
And Paloma is even more dangerous because she represents today the entire congressional regime that led us to this point.
So, if the issue is to make two points about the CES, right now in the city of Medellín, Fernando, a police patrol put a wheel clamp on a truck because it didn't pay for street parking. That's the level of invisibility we're reaching. Until Colombia accepts that it has hit rock bottom morally, economically, socially, and spiritually, and that it needs to return to its conservative values, as we've been discussing on this program, the only thing that will save us here are the values and principles and the conservative doctrine focused on God, family, country, unity, and the liberal economic system. That's the only thing that will save us.
The established order. [snort] Otherwise, the only thing he seeks is to break with that established order. Anyone who wants to break with that established order, well, sooner or later you understand why a character like Trump appears. A character like Trump appears, Fernando, because American society is in very bad shape.
And then there comes a moment when you say, "Well, I have to defend myself."
And suddenly someone gives him a voice and he had the highest vote count in recent history, almost equal to Ronald Reagan.
[snort] So, what we have to give credit to Abelardo the Tiger is that he dared to lift the tablecloth, to pull the tablecloth off the table, to say things as they are, and then, because he's from the coast, from Valledupar and Montería, the rest of the country looked down on him like they looked down on Álvaro Uribe during the primaries. Do you remember, Fernando?
Maybe, let's see, no? But do you remember, Fernando, when Álvaro Uribe appeared with his look of a rancher from Medellín and Cattle rancher and horseman. The contempt he received from coastal society, Cali society, and Bogotá society during his first term—because it was pure contempt.
It's the same thing we're experiencing now with Abelardo the Tiger because he wears short socks and because he's from Montería.
So, Bogotá society and the rest of the country despise him.
Either we take our rightful place here, or later we'll all be crying to the wolves, all of us who are supporting Cepeda and Paloma, right?
Yes, of course. Go cry. At least one would say that when this turns into a complete mess—and excuse the Latinism that just slipped out today—when this turns into a complete mess, then at least admit that you voted for Cepeda and have the guts to admit that you voted for Paloma, right?
No. And furthermore, for example, where are all the opinionated actors and actresses who voted for Petro right now? Do you remember that actress who stood there in the hippie park saying, "They're killing them, they 're killing them." "Where is that money today, José Abel?"
Of course. And well, they're sending letters. They sent 14 petitions to the presidency demanding they receive the money they were told they would get.
Ah, it's that budget from the Ministry of Culture that they're interested in. Of course, that's what they're interested in. Of course, of course. And then, let's do a historical memory project, and the actor Montero was given nearly 25 billion pesos to do a historical memory project, and here Fernando and I are worrying about a bank overdraft. So, these are new things, Fernando. Either we take our rightful place here, or these people who are supporting Cepeda and Paloma, well, they need to be responsible, right, Fernando? Because to this day, those who supported Chávez and Maduro are already dead.
Even those who went to Miami and Madrid, right? Many of those in Miami, many of those in Madrid, no, this mouth is not... Mine, but in the first few days, Chávez, there they were with Chávez, everyone supporting Víctor, right?
Okay. Look, Rafael, no country in the world progresses with anarchy. It only progresses if there is robust justice, if there is law and order. And that has been more than proven by economies, the only economies in the world that grow like Singapore's, by a figure like Lianu, who generated productivity, protected it with robust justice, and when the profits came in, investment began in infrastructure, health, education, and so on.
That's what needs to be done. No country in the world progresses with anarchy, and even less so allied with crime like what Mr. Petro has done and what Mr. Cepeda intends.
And Mexico is experiencing it, Fernando.
Of course, Mexico is experiencing it to such an extent that they had to send the Marines into Mexico to try to recover the order lost due to drug trafficking.
Well, all these people who are attacking us today... Today, well, at least take responsibility, right? And go out there gloriously in Bolívar Square. But when you have nothing left to eat, don't come to my house begging. Yes or no, José Abel? [snort] José overslept today.
[laughter] Either we stand up for ourselves, says Dracelor. He's right, Fernando. Either we stand up for ourselves, or what? The only thing one has is one's homeland, the only thing one has is one's country, and the only things one has are the three things one has, so we must defend them tooth and nail. And no, there is no human power that cannot generate that strength. The country must be defended above all else. And today we are seeing examples that will endure in history, such as Paloma Valencia and her vice president, who refuse to back down regardless of all the poll trends, and this could create a division within the opposition, a very serious problem. And Four years ago, Petro won the presidency thanks to votes from narco-terrorism, due to the coercion of terrorism, and that could happen again in the second round, which is what we shouldn't allow. We should win in the first round so that corruption and the establishment of the state don't further manipulate the elections. They're asking me to explain what would happen if the productive sector collapses. No, Wilson, there's no need to explain. These people don't understand anything. They're completely anachronistic, illiterate, and manipulated, and they let themselves be taken in by that story.
So, we have to answer them, and then they fall silent.
No, we shouldn't answer them. If there's no productivity, misery and absolute poverty will follow. It happened in Venezuela. They already have, they already have mental poverty; they'll fall into absolute economic poverty.
Viviana says that Abelardo is our only one. The class woke up today. José Abel, they're awake today. José Abel, it's 4:43 PM, time to close the program. See you later, watch out.
See you Tuesday, next Tuesday, Wednesday the 27th, it'll practically be June 12th, right? When are the elections, Fernando?
May 31st, and... Ah, May, the 27th and we're on the 31st.
So, we're 11 days away from voting, Mr. Rafael Gómez Martín. And people keep going on about the "state of the rich" in Petro's narrative.
Listen, don't wake up, brothers. What's wrong with you?
How can we have such an ideological anachronism with our youth indoctrinated beyond belief? Fernando and Abel, we have the mirror of how they're leaving the public universities, how they're leaving the district schools in Bogotá under the mayor's office. Listen, they told some stories about the district schools, Fernando, which corroborate what you're saying about the indoctrination in Ciudad Bolívar. And so, the issue is... These people keep harping on about the Púnica University narrative and all that nonsense. Well, if that's what they want, fine, we'll go all out with Councilor Guri's bat and see how far we get, José Abel, right?
[snort] Yes, absolutely, of course, we have to, because even though we talk about debate, there are many Colombian citizens who are keeping quiet, but they have guns, they're more dangerous. So, let the criminals think twice too, because you've said it on this program several times, unlike Venezuelans and other temperaments, Colombians are indeed violent.
So, they're taking us to the extreme, fine, Fernando, we're going to the extreme, right? We'll let them if that's what they want.
Yes, unfortunately, it's the only way forward, but I do want to end by saying that I do see a great reaction from the conscious citizenry, the great Colombian citizenry affected by the political maneuvering, by the corruption of the same old faces, by all that... Admissibility of all narcoterrorism in more than 70% of the municipalities in eastern Colombia, people are reacting. There are still people in Colombia who love Colombia. There are still decent people in Colombia with values and principles who will come out to defend Colombia, and that will be seen on May 31st. I repeat, a new, very powerful political force has been created, that of popular fervor, of citizens with awareness, and that is very important for the country.
We have a golden opportunity to punish this entire political caste that led us to where we are, including Mr. Cepeda's campaign, including Paloma Valencia's campaign.
And if we have to respond vehemently, we will, José Abel, we are not going to let them get away with it. Let them be afraid and buy a dog, as our friend Risa Loca says on Caracón's show, right?
Agreed, José Abel. No, José is half asleep.
No, no, I'm not asleep, not at all. [laughter] Wake up, José, Brother.
No, we have to set an example for the class. What were you saying, teacher?
We have to set an example, listen, Fernando, we have to set an example for the class, please.
Wake up the class, the class is awake and we're asleep. No, no, no. We can't do this. Wake up the class, wake up the class.
You snore very loudly, please, don't snore [laughs] so loudly.
Right now, some studies are starting to be presented in Lourdes Square. We should witness the events and go to Lourdes Square.
If you want, we can go, if you want, we can go. Let's go on Transmilenio [laughs] let's see if we get there. Let's see if we get there. No, José Abel, please close the program. It's 4:47 in the afternoon, right? Well, tell the listeners that... Sorry, sorry, José, sorry, José, sorry.
Olmedo López Fernando, 4 years later, accepts the charges of the risk management unit. This country is a joke, brother, isn't it? A joke. Okay, close the program. And poor Sandra, what was that crazy woman's name again? The one from Bonilla, Sandra Ortiz, who went to a bank and they denied her a loan. Let's see.
Well, I came here to the Congress of the Republic today, first of all, to activate my accounts. Here's my original account.
So I came to borrow money and to activate my accounts. A loan.
Why borrow money, Doctor?
Oh, because I'm broke. I went two years without working, right? I live off my salary, and with a look on my face, José Yabel, these people go to the Congress of the Republic to activate their accounts when they should already be financially settled. José Abel, your final message for this disoriented youth?
Well, I'll repeat what we've repeated before. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, they were manipulated, and many of those manipulated by the radical left, led by Petro and Bolívar and all those other characters.
They ended up in jail, they lost their freedom.
They'll do the same thing again. Among them is EPA Colombia, which ruined a promising future by making a blunder like damaging the Transmilenio machines.
And the modus operandi of the radical left in Latin America returned with its operations of anarchy and destruction of society's material goods and also of life itself.
The same thing they started doing in 2019 in Latin America, they started doing again. They are already destabilizing Bolivia, and the irrefutable proof of that is Petro's pronouncement in favor of that supposed popular movement enraged against the elites.
They have started again to instrumentalize violence.
Therefore, Colombian citizens, and specifically Colombian youth, cannot be useful idiots for these malevolent, unscrupulous characters, whose only interest is maintaining their power at any cost and who forget about the people they manipulate.
Therefore, they can no longer be convinced, lend themselves to carrying on that narrative and that cause.
Failed.
Think about it, at least, if you're not thinking about Colombia, professor, think about yourselves, because you even lose your freedom in these confrontations. And in these urban guerrilla-style demonstrations, no one even knows who's involved. People end up dead, people are wounded.
Look, if that's what you want... So, I'm again inviting you to look at things objectively, and above all, to think about the individual, not about political projects that have only brought the country suffering and pain. So, they've already started.
Petro is happy because, according to him, the president of Bolivia is going to fall, and here they've already threatened. If Dr. Abelardo wins, they've already threatened what they're going to do, but this time they're going to run into a very strong wall of resistance. They're going to get a lot of surprises because terrorism can never be above legality and the rule of law. So, Well, let the youth reflect, let them not think about the country because that's asking too much of them, but let them think about themselves.
If you want the police and the criminal investigation department to arrive with arrest warrants for urban terrorism, property damage, and other crimes they might commit when they go out there, manipulated by those criminals in Congress and the government, they wo n't reflect. José Adelus, I understand this clearly. These people are so manipulated, and that's what Lenin called, and Antonio Grany later echoed, the useful idiots of the revolution.
That's what our disoriented youth in public universities are: the useful idiots of the revolution.
Fernando, the president of Atlas Intel, Andrey Román, Andrey Román, established a group of lawyers, and they're obviously going to sue this magistrate, but he says Paloma won't make it to the second round.
A message, a final message at 4:53 in the afternoon.
The message is very clear, Rafael.
As long as fanaticism is clouded by the sun Stupidity is born. When the brain is clouded by fanaticism, only stupidity is born.
And conversely, when the brain and mind are made aware, only common sense triumphs. We have to play the game of common sense instead of stupidity. And I think that's becoming clear. I'm optimistic that Colombia has a large mass of Colombian voters who are very aware of what's happening, and I think that will be evident on May 31st. I believe that Colombia has the strength and the passion, as Abelardo says, to break free from all this ostracism imposed on us by the Colombian left, but also—and this must be said—by the usual suspects, those who created and promoted Petro's current government, as was the case with Duque's administration. So, it's in our hands, that simple.
[laughs] And Mr. Petro, who used to praise the polls, comes out this afternoon, Fernando and Abel, he comes out saying that Guarumo and all the polling firms are preparing an electoral fraud. These people are delusional, Fernando, they really are.
Colombia, wake up. You've been warned.
If you don't vote the right way, then you deserve your fate, but you've been warned.
And those who vote for Cepeda and those who vote for Paloma, then take responsibility for what happens. Have the courage to accept it.
Well, are we going to Lourdes or what?
Because at least we have the will to do something different with our lives and we have the possibility of choosing on the 31st.
It's likely that we won't have it after that.
Imagine the chaos for a month, Fernando, before the Colombia-Portugal match in the World Cup, which is what people are interested in, and the Panini sticker album, listen. No, the Panini sticker album, to wrap things up, I realized that Haiti, Aruba, and Curaçao qualified for the World Cup.
How is it that a country like Haiti and an island like Aruba qualify for a World Cup? I really don't understand, but well, it's 4:56 in the This afternoon, we're signing off.
Fernando, see you on Wednesday the 27th. We have a fantastic program coming up 5 days before the elections. Wednesday the 27th at 3 PM, right on time to send the final campaign messages.
Colombia, wake up! Have a good afternoon despite this amoral, despotic, and corrupt government and Galán the Alcarte. Good afternoon indeed.
[sigh] [music]
