Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong
Speaker 1: and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: I think dialogue is very important, and I think it's
Speaker 3: a very positive meeting for the world because during Biden administration,
Speaker 3: no dialogue was happening. So I think it's very important
Speaker 3: to hear Russian position directly, and there are lots of
Speaker 3: misunderstandings misinformation about the Russian position. And it's also a
Speaker 3: chance to sort of reset if the meeting goes well
Speaker 3: US Russian relations.
Speaker 1: That's the Russian point of view. That is so obvious
Speaker 1: what they're doing. We've been misunderstood. Very important dialogue, can't
Speaker 1: wait to talk. We should be friends, We will be friends.
Speaker 1: Be good to see you eat salmon together in Alaska. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, you're murderous thugs and you think it's basically
Speaker 1: just a big stall or uh yeah, yeah. I think
Speaker 1: they probably have two strategies in mind. Depending on how
Speaker 1: things go, they'll pivot from one to the other. The
Speaker 1: one is the big stall, as you've been describing, trot
Speaker 1: out some very reasonable sounding possible agreements that are roughly
Speaker 1: seventy five percent done, and we'll just take a little
Speaker 1: while to hash out the last twenty five percent, they'll say,
Speaker 1: and then they will stretch that interminably while they continue
Speaker 1: to do what they've done. Second strategy, and they are
Speaker 1: absolutely gonna try this is hit Trump with a package
Speaker 1: of alluring baubles rewards for essentially giving up Ukraine to
Speaker 1: Russian domination, disarm Ukraine, completely, assure it will never join NATO,
Speaker 1: get rid of the Zelensky government, which they charmingly call denocification,
Speaker 1: and in return, you know, we'll give you xyzab and
Speaker 1: c and make you look like a big winner. Mister President. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think Trump would go for that, but my
Speaker 1: theory on that after we hear a little bit. This
Speaker 1: is ABC News is reporting on this.
Speaker 4: Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to lay the groundwork, heaping
Speaker 4: praise on President Trump. Putin saying, the current American administration
Speaker 4: is making quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
Speaker 4: stop the crisis, and reach agreements that are of interest
Speaker 4: to all parties involved in this conflict. Putin saying Trump
Speaker 4: wants to create long term conditions for peace, both between
Speaker 4: our countries and in Europe and in the world. One
Speaker 4: big question, will President Trump hold a joint press conference
Speaker 4: here as eye by side with Vladimir Putin? The White
Speaker 4: House Press secretary said that was the plan, but Trump
Speaker 4: later saying though that would be nice. If the summit
Speaker 4: doesn't end, well, you'll just have his own press conference
Speaker 4: and head home.
Speaker 1: And I feel like there's a zero chance of a
Speaker 1: side by side press conference. I think Trump will do
Speaker 1: one because he loves to come out and tell people
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, I want to get this on. This
Speaker 1: is Fox's reporting that's got some nuggets in it I
Speaker 1: hadn't heard anywhere else. Let me just say this about
Speaker 1: Putin that he famously does his three four hour press
Speaker 1: conference once a year or whatever it is. But to
Speaker 1: keep in mind, if you ask him a question he
Speaker 1: doesn't like, you end up in the hut next to Navalny,
Speaker 1: the late Navalny, in some concentration camp. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't see him leaping at the chance to engage the
Speaker 1: free media.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: Putin appears to be angling for arms controls in a
Speaker 6: video released by the Kremlin, wrapped in a compliment for Trump.
Speaker 1: The current American administration, which everyone knows is making, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
Speaker 1: putin dangling the prospect of long term peace.
Speaker 6: Quote, if we reach agreements in the area of control
Speaker 6: over strategic offensive weapons at the next day, One source
Speaker 6: familiar with the talks says, that's new and Russia has
Speaker 6: not previously voiced any request for strategic weapons reductions.
Speaker 1: Okay, so what does that hold if we can come
Speaker 1: up with a deal on strategic offensive weapons? What is that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the sort of babble I was talking about a
Speaker 1: mister Trump. Look, I know we're here to talk about Ukraine,
Speaker 1: but how about a giant historic arms control agreement. I mean,
Speaker 1: you'd be like one of the greatest peacemakers in the
Speaker 1: history of the world. Why don't we all ratchet down
Speaker 1: the number of nuclear arms and the threats and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And yeah, there's that little patch of ground
Speaker 1: in Europe. I'm sure we could come to an agreement
Speaker 1: on that. But this is history making stuff, sir. And
Speaker 1: then who knows they're going to hit him with a
Speaker 1: blizzard of that stuff. Well, yeah, and that other clip
Speaker 1: where the Russian said and what we want is the
Speaker 1: sort of peace that can be long lasting for all
Speaker 1: of Europe. Europe was at peace for the last eighty
Speaker 1: years until you invaded Ukraine repeatedly, Yes, Kathy Heinrich. Fox
Speaker 1: goes on to say this meantime.
Speaker 6: Reuter's reports ahead of the meeting, Putin's been preparing to
Speaker 6: test Russia's new nuclear armed, nuclear powered cruise missile. Trump
Speaker 6: told reporters today he hasn't considered reducing military presence in
Speaker 6: Europe to get Russia to agree to a peace deal.
Speaker 1: That hasn't been put before me. And I think about
Speaker 1: that for later, but it has not been put before.
Speaker 1: So Putin's floating testing a new nuclear weapon in the
Speaker 1: midst of all this, right, what is that? And that
Speaker 1: last little bit about And look, also, we'd love you
Speaker 1: to reduce your presence in Europe US. Why don't you
Speaker 1: just kind of disarm Europe a little bit? Because Putin?
Speaker 1: You can't ever underestimate Putin. Putin knows Trump thinks Europe
Speaker 1: has been lazy and useless his partners in NATO. He's
Speaker 1: going to appeal to Trump's desire to get the Euros
Speaker 1: to do it on their own. He's going to say, look,
Speaker 1: they've been freeloading off you the whole time. You got
Speaker 1: to reduce your forces in Europe, and yeah, does it
Speaker 1: played war advantage? Oh, we have no designs on anything
Speaker 1: except Ukraine, which is really part of Russia. Well, the
Speaker 1: good news for people with like my mindset is that
Speaker 1: Trump has been closer and more positive about his European
Speaker 1: relationships in the last couple of weeks than he's ever been.
Speaker 1: He's had multiple meetings and they've gone over. He says
Speaker 1: he agreed to Europe's red lines, which were, you know,
Speaker 1: not only not taking troops out of Europe, but Europe
Speaker 1: putting troops in Ukraine and no land swaps. All kinds
Speaker 1: of different things that Trump says he agreed to. I
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't forget that stuff when he's alone in
Speaker 1: a room with Putin buttering him up. So Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: was on a podcast this morning, and I haven't heard it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear it because I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: know if her ton of voice was sarcastic or not.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was sarcastic, but she said if Trump can
Speaker 1: get a piece deal that doesn't include a land swap,
Speaker 1: she herself would nominate him for or the Nobel Peace Prize. Now,
Speaker 1: is that just sarcasm like that can't happen, or is
Speaker 1: she honestly saying that would be an amazing deal.
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know her level of sarcasm, but I think
Speaker 1: you've gotten to her point. Yeah, that that is a
Speaker 1: trick so extraordinary, you know what, he pulls that off.
Speaker 1: He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Might not have been snarky,
Speaker 1: but it was a statement. What do you think psychologically
Speaker 1: is Trump's it seems genuine hatred of war in general,
Speaker 1: people dying in wars. Where do I think that comes from? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like more than even most people like he
Speaker 1: just hates He just can't stand the idea of people
Speaker 1: dying in warfare. Yeah, that's a really interesting question. I
Speaker 1: wonder if part of it has to do with his
Speaker 1: age and a little perspective seeing his grandchildren or whatever,
Speaker 1: and realizing that, you know, all of the battles and
Speaker 1: disagreements and you know, the storm and drong of life,
Speaker 1: it really doesn't amount too much at the end. It's
Speaker 1: just about living. And to snuff people out over territorial
Speaker 1: disagreements strikes him as well, completely idiotic and wasteful. I
Speaker 1: don't know. It is not of a piece with his
Speaker 1: public image, right, in which he really tries to play
Speaker 1: the hard ass and the I don't care the consequences,
Speaker 1: you know type guy. I mean, he says it so
Speaker 1: often and it seems to be genuine. The first of all,
Speaker 1: the killing has got to stop. Too much killing, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I believe one sincere. Yeah, you know, the danger
Speaker 1: there is that those who are willing to kill will
Speaker 1: steamroll you, right if you're not willing to meet the
Speaker 1: bully on the schoolyard. Yeah. And as illogical as it
Speaker 1: is that human beings regularly go to slaughtering each other
Speaker 1: and destroying each other's stuff, I mean, it's unproductive all
Speaker 1: the way around. It is the history of humankind and
Speaker 1: always will be. So there's got to be a certain
Speaker 1: level of just accepting that's part of human nature, as
Speaker 1: awful as it is. I just I hope, and the
Speaker 1: greatest way to save lives that exists on earth is
Speaker 1: to be clearly ready to slaughter the hell out of
Speaker 1: the other guy, right, I don't know. I really hope
Speaker 1: he goes in there with a strong mindset of ceasefire. Ceasefire, ceasefire,
Speaker 1: and if you're if you're not talking about a ceasefire,
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in talking to the problem with that
Speaker 1: is you walk out of that meeting, and then where
Speaker 1: are you? The war continues, and unless you're willing to
Speaker 1: arm Ukraine in a way that we haven't in the
Speaker 1: past us in Europe, then the war slogs on and
Speaker 1: there's lots of killing. Uh, and Russia's mostly getting the
Speaker 1: better end of it, barely, right, right, I mean, so
Speaker 1: it's not a great walk away from it position. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, I read something that I hadn't come up
Speaker 1: us before, and that was a pretty detailed analysis. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to find what the hell did I do with it?
Speaker 1: A pretty detailed analysis of Russia's current financial situation, just
Speaker 1: the tremendous hit that the economy is taking the fact
Speaker 1: that they are out of cash and no one will
Speaker 1: buy their debt. China will not buy Russian bonds, and
Speaker 1: so they have not to mention the monumental loss of
Speaker 1: life in the field. They're having a harder and harder
Speaker 1: time recruiting cannon fodder. They're offering bonuses, signing bonuses that
Speaker 1: are greater than the average salary yearly salary for a
Speaker 1: Russian man right now, and that if Trump says, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play the long game, that's not good for Putin.
Speaker 1: I think the next thing that needs to be said, though,
Speaker 1: is that unless you are going to seriously aid Ukraine
Speaker 1: one way or another, they're not exactly in great shape either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I like the hard line. No, no, no, this
Speaker 1: is about a ceasefire. If you're wanting to talk about
Speaker 1: all this other crap after a ceasefire, the problem being,
Speaker 1: like I just said, what's your bargaining position if you
Speaker 1: walk out of the deal, Putin says, cool, I guess
Speaker 1: things are going to continue the way they are, which
Speaker 1: is what I wanted. I'm the one who started this,
Speaker 1: right right, unless you're willing to like come up with
Speaker 1: a whole new level of arming Ukraine, and I don't
Speaker 1: know that we are not. According to jd Vance, we aren't.
Speaker 1: Maybe if Trump actually gets butt hurt personally offended, he
Speaker 1: might say, if you, dude, okay, three billion dollars worth
Speaker 1: of stuff to Ukraine by tomorrow, I hereby order, just
Speaker 1: because he's angry about it. You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's a hell of a basis for foreign policy. But
Speaker 1: I see your point. All right, here's your exit question, Jack.
Speaker 1: Will Europe collectively find one or more of its testicles
Speaker 1: and play a serious role in how this plays out?
Speaker 1: Is Europe a single beast with the normal two testicle
Speaker 1: or is it like the entire twenty eight countries, which
Speaker 1: would give you what fifty six testicles? Well, for the
Speaker 1: purpose of the metaphor, and because there's no proof that
Speaker 1: quite a few of those countries have any testicles whatsoever,
Speaker 1: let's view it as a collective beast with the standard
Speaker 1: set of two. Will they find them and assert themselves
Speaker 1: in some way? They're getting closer than they've ever been,
Speaker 1: like in our lifetimes, I think to deciding we got
Speaker 1: to start taking care of our own backyard. So yes,
Speaker 1: Great Britain and Germany and France certainly believe that. I'm
Speaker 1: going to go with yes. I think Europe's gonna find
Speaker 1: its testies right down there where they exist, Like you
Speaker 1: know what kind of blow your pocket? Oh good lord,
Speaker 1: do he's an idiot? Michael? Can you believe that TwixT
Speaker 1: your life ways? The UK ought to be referred to
Speaker 1: as the formerly Great Britain? Wouldn't that be more accurate.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a hurtful name, but it
Speaker 1: would be more accurate. Yees, it's accurate. Any thoughts from
Speaker 1: you text line four KFTCY.
Speaker 7: A new podcast interview, vice President JD. Van said that
Speaker 7: the most surprising thing about being vice president is quote
Speaker 7: how much you are never alone?
Speaker 1: Hey? Man, don't you have three kids? What made you
Speaker 1: think you were suddenly going to be alone?
Speaker 7: I have three kids and I'm only alone in the
Speaker 7: bathroom and I still have to answer stupid.
Speaker 1: Questions through the door. Correct. Yeah, what's your expectation for
Speaker 1: being alone? Uh? I want to get this on just
Speaker 1: because we were just having this discussion. Are our friend
Speaker 1: Mike Lyons, our favorite military analyst. He's not available today,
Speaker 1: but he did tweet this out an hour ago. Not
Speaker 1: having great expectations for what's to come from the summit today,
Speaker 1: there's this is just what we were talking about. There's
Speaker 1: just not enough leverage on Russia to change their behavior.
Speaker 1: The meeting will be over quickly. So it's a kind
Speaker 1: of a weird deal where like I go in and
Speaker 1: say this is the price I'll give you for the boat,
Speaker 1: and they say I'm not taking that. Oh, well then
Speaker 1: I'm leaving, and they say, okay, fine, I didn't really
Speaker 1: need to sell the boat. I mean, that's kind of
Speaker 1: the situation we're in. Trump comes to says, I want
Speaker 1: to cease fire. No, well then I'm leaving. Okay, fine,
Speaker 1: I was gonna I want to fight the lot War anyway.
Speaker 1: So it's not gonna go that way. Russia is gonna
Speaker 1: pull some of the maneuvers I've been describing. But there's
Speaker 1: when it comes to the core topic of Ukraine, there's
Speaker 1: practically no overlap. I mean so little it's it might
Speaker 1: as well be zero. It gets back to that George
Speaker 1: Schultz quote that I've mentioned several times this week. These
Speaker 1: things only work if you've got up some force, a
Speaker 1: power to force something. And do we have it, like
Speaker 1: you were talking about Europe and the balls. Does the
Speaker 1: United States or Europe going to bring enough power to
Speaker 1: the Ukraine situation that the Putin has to move and
Speaker 1: right now it doesn't look like it. Yeah, there's got
Speaker 1: to be a serious stick involved in the negotiations. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: much more to come on. Speaking of a Serian hostel, yes,
Speaker 1: oh oh lord, inappropriate. The Macrones cute little Manuel Macrone
Speaker 1: and his high school teacher former wife, Brigitte former high
Speaker 1: school teacher, current wife. They're still married, right, yes, yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: she was his high school teacher when they first allegedly,
Speaker 1: you know, locked eyes and found love. Anyway, a little weird,
Speaker 1: but who am I to judge? They seem to be
Speaker 1: happy at weird, so they are in case you don't
Speaker 1: know this, suing US podcaster and influencer and half a
Speaker 1: nut Candace Owens for claiming repeatedly a series of quote outlandish, defamatory,
Speaker 1: and far fetched fictions about the couple, the central claim
Speaker 1: of which is that Brigitte Macrone was born male. Candis
Speaker 1: Owens has been claiming that Macrone's wife is a dude
Speaker 1: for quite some time and claims to have plenty of
Speaker 1: evidence yes transgender. Specifically, the investigation carried out, Oh I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: so they've hired private and guest investigators to listen see
Speaker 1: see if missus McCrone is a dude or not. No,
Speaker 1: they don't need an investigator. This is the Macrone side.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, the investigation dot d. Some details were shared
Speaker 1: with the Financial Times, as well as describing her links
Speaker 1: to the far right in France. Investigators outlined her connections
Speaker 1: to right wing populist figures in the US and UK
Speaker 1: and her online interactions with a Russian nationalist boy. That
Speaker 1: is some thin cruel. Mister McCrone, Does your wife have
Speaker 1: an Eiffel Tower? Yes?
Speaker 8: Or no?
Speaker 1: Wow? Or no wow wow wow we we we or
Speaker 1: no anyway? All right, So they're trying to portray her
Speaker 1: as some right wing nut job. I don't where are
Speaker 1: they suing her in France. You're not going to get
Speaker 1: anywhere in the US. Friends, I just I don't know
Speaker 1: how much they know about that. And my question with
Speaker 1: that this line of stuff is if she was a dude,
Speaker 1: what difference does that make to the world or foreign
Speaker 1: policy or anything. I mean, you know that is a
Speaker 1: reasonable question. Armstrong and Getty. The House will come to order.
Speaker 1: It is evident to the Chair that a quorum is
Speaker 1: not present.
Speaker 7: Now a ritual the special Legislative Session, and the Texas
Speaker 7: House is closed as soon as it's open. Speaking from Illinois, today,
Speaker 7: Texas Democrats issued demands for their return to the lone
Speaker 7: Star state, the first being that Governor Greg Abbott abandoned
Speaker 7: the special session, which includes a redistricting map that could
Speaker 7: award Republicans five more seats in the US Congress. Their
Speaker 7: second demand is that California redraw its districts to the
Speaker 7: advantage of Democrats. This, as Texas Democrats admitted today, they
Speaker 7: cannot maintain this standoff indefinitely.
Speaker 5: We know that there's a certain point where we passed
Speaker 5: the baton to another and say we have run our
Speaker 5: leg of this race.
Speaker 1: It is time for you to run your leg of
Speaker 1: the race. All right, play the jackass, Donald.
Speaker 5: Trump, you have poked the bear and we will punched back.
Speaker 1: We have got to meet fire with fire. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I said jackass. I meant bear the bear. They've poked
Speaker 1: the bear, not the jackass. That's Gavin Newsom from cal
Speaker 1: Unicornea counting on the fact that people don't get that
Speaker 1: California has already jerrymandered. So's Illinois. So are lots of
Speaker 1: blue states. There were lots of red states. It's common thing.
Speaker 1: It's part of our history. As was pointed out the
Speaker 1: other day by the great Kevin Williamson, the term jerry mander,
Speaker 1: which comes from a guy named Gary, but somehow over
Speaker 1: the years we turned it to jerrymander. But he was
Speaker 1: a signer to the Declaration of Independence. I mean this
Speaker 1: goes that far back, right, Yeah, and it's just and
Speaker 1: Democrats are better at it than Republicans historically speaking, as
Speaker 1: we've discussed that if we get into a war, there's
Speaker 1: much more upside for Republicans than Democrats. To Gary Manner
Speaker 1: even more severely. But Gaviy Newsom was in full I
Speaker 1: am the warrior for the woke resistance mode yesterday. It
Speaker 1: was quite amusing. What he's trying to do is overturn
Speaker 1: California's barely ten year old law that says redistricting districting
Speaker 1: will be done by a non partisan commission, which has
Speaker 1: been become heavily left anyway, but it's better than the
Speaker 1: legislature being involved because they're utterly corrupt. And so Gavy
Speaker 1: is going to put it to a vote of the people,
Speaker 1: try to overturn that and return the state to partisan
Speaker 1: Gary mandering, even though it enjoys enjoys just in overwhelming
Speaker 1: disapproval that idea. So I would love to see him
Speaker 1: just whacked in that offer effort, but he was rowling.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to him. Next clip, Michael eighty five, Wake.
Speaker 8: Up America, this is serious moment. Yeah, wake up to
Speaker 8: what's going on. Wake up to the fear, anxiety. Wake
Speaker 8: up to what's happening, not just here in Los Angeles
Speaker 8: where we saw our streets militarized.
Speaker 5: Of course, our due process rights throwing out the window.
Speaker 1: I think he might be two to four years late
Speaker 1: on this tactic. I think it would have worked. You
Speaker 1: remember there was a time where all this sort of
Speaker 1: stuff worked, that Trump is the Hitler. Where did I read?
Speaker 1: I read a piece yesterday on how uh like, for instance,
Speaker 1: you're not hearing much narrative really out of anyone about
Speaker 1: how Trump is a puppet of Putin. That was the
Speaker 1: only theme the entire first term of Trump's presidency. But
Speaker 1: that's pretty much gone because obviously he's not in a
Speaker 1: variety of ways. And I think this this whole angle
Speaker 1: would just I just I just don't think it's got
Speaker 1: the legs it had before. You know, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: with eighty seven. Michael I said in a moment to
Speaker 1: wake up America. Wake up.
Speaker 5: You will not have a country if he reaches this election.
Speaker 5: You will have a president will be running for a
Speaker 5: third term.
Speaker 1: Mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that.
Speaker 5: I received in the mail at Trump twenty twenty eight
Speaker 5: at from one of his biggest supporters. These guys are
Speaker 5: not screwing around. The rules do not apply to the
Speaker 5: most corrupt president in history. All right, he doesn't believe
Speaker 5: in free enterprise, crony capitalism.
Speaker 1: Wow, he is.
Speaker 5: Wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. To lawless president, Wake up, America,
Speaker 5: Wake up to what's going on.
Speaker 1: To Gavin who's some condemned corruption is just too much? Sorry, yeah,
Speaker 1: we so if you're listening in other parts of the country,
Speaker 1: we've had Gavin Newsom on our radar for many, many,
Speaker 1: many years, going back to when he was mayor of
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and we've done events with him and that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So maybe we're too close to it
Speaker 1: because I read a lot and listen to a lot
Speaker 1: of national pundits who think Gavin Newsom comes off really well,
Speaker 1: that he's very powerful, skilled politician. At this maybe I'm
Speaker 1: jaded by so many years of listening to his crap fools,
Speaker 1: But what was I gonna say? What is he just saying?
Speaker 1: It's the New York East Coast media elite. They pronounced
Speaker 1: to the rest of They explain America to the country
Speaker 1: and the country to America or whatever. Well, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to need you, but maybe they're taking it in like
Speaker 1: average voters who haven't been exposed to Gavin Newsom all
Speaker 1: these years when he's running for president. But I just
Speaker 1: think this is the end of our democracy. Thing is
Speaker 1: played on both sides. I think I think both sides
Speaker 1: played it so hard over the last like eight years.
Speaker 1: I just don't think it lands anymore. I hope I'm right. Actually, well,
Speaker 1: in a weird coincidence, wink, wink and clip, we'll hear
Speaker 1: about what was happening right outside Newsom's event in LA.
Speaker 2: That strinking scene outside of California event featuring the state's
Speaker 2: top democratic figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom. A group of
Speaker 2: heavily armed Border Patrol agents conducting an operation near the
Speaker 2: venue in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo, saying they apprehended at
Speaker 2: least one person Newsom's team, saying the action was meant
Speaker 2: as intimidation because inside the hall, the governor and state
Speaker 2: lawmakers were announcing a partisan redistricting plan to combat a
Speaker 2: similar Republican led effort in Texas.
Speaker 1: So ice was there outside the stadium made at least
Speaker 1: one immigration arrest, and their spokesperson made a clear that
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as a sanctuary state. We're here
Speaker 1: to enforce the law. We're going to enforce it. So
Speaker 1: who orchestrated that?
Speaker 8: Who?
Speaker 1: Again, who's purely coincidental? Who figured out Gavin was having
Speaker 1: an event and thought and knew there were illegals around
Speaker 1: and put that together? I wonder how high up did
Speaker 1: that go?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Karen Bass, the useless
Speaker 1: communist mayor of La call it a provocative act. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just completely unacceptable. You know what's also provocative
Speaker 1: is saying criminals can go free because they're illegal. That's
Speaker 1: pretty provocative. Yeah, you literally have provoked us, Karen, So, yes,
Speaker 1: it is provocative. Yes, indeed, you know, if we had time,
Speaker 1: I would do a California's Crumbling update. Right now we
Speaker 1: don't really, so I'll just give you this, which we mentioned,
Speaker 1: I think late in the show yesterday. There is a
Speaker 1: California bill in America. You too can have this sort
Speaker 1: of governance in twenty twenty eight, if you play your
Speaker 1: cards right. There's a California bill that targets excuse me,
Speaker 1: targets consumers of the child second trafficking industry. Oh, there's
Speaker 1: a big bust in human trafficking in LA which we
Speaker 1: need to get to in a little bit. But anyway,
Speaker 1: there's a California bill that targets people who buy children
Speaker 1: for sex, which is a misdemeanor in cal Unicornia, and
Speaker 1: thinking sane people with souls are trying to make it
Speaker 1: a felony. But it's still making its way through the process,
Speaker 1: not without debate surrounding the cost of the proposal and
Speaker 1: how it could impact sixteen and seventeen year olds. That's
Speaker 1: a smoke screen written by a sloppy journalist. Well, it's accurate,
Speaker 1: but it's just putting the cart before the horse. The
Speaker 1: proposal is more than halfway through the legislative process. It
Speaker 1: would make it a felony to solicit or purchase a
Speaker 1: child for sex in an effort to crack down on
Speaker 1: the trafficking industry that's been growing across California in the
Speaker 1: whole country. Right now, it's currently a misdemeanor with a
Speaker 1: minimum with two days in jail. On Wednesday, lawmakers in
Speaker 1: the Assembly Appropriations Committee, dominated of course by the supermajority
Speaker 1: of Democrats, place the bill on what's known as the
Speaker 1: suspense File, a list of bills that are expected to
Speaker 1: cost the state a significant amount of money. The bills
Speaker 1: on that list are either past or killed without public discussions,
Speaker 1: which is in a special closed hearing which is scheduled
Speaker 1: for next week. So they're going to kill the bill quietly,
Speaker 1: So while we're building a bullet train in nowhere at
Speaker 1: billions of dollars, any sort of letters of billions of dollars. Yes,
Speaker 1: any legislation that would stop people from buying children for
Speaker 1: sex is too expensive for the state, right exactly, an
Speaker 1: official with the Department of Finance. So lawmakers it could
Speaker 1: cost the state a lot and hamper the state's progress
Speaker 1: on reducing prison populations. This is a quote from Millie
Speaker 1: Yon of Newsom's Unholy Democrat administration in California. California is
Speaker 1: successfully remained below the court ordered prison population cap and
Speaker 1: has even made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in annual savings. I cannot understand
Speaker 1: the mindset that looks at crime as how many prison
Speaker 1: cells do we have? We can only lock up as
Speaker 1: as opposed to build as many prison cells as you
Speaker 1: got for as many criminals as you have, right, which
Speaker 1: is obviously the way to handle it. Let me finish
Speaker 1: your sentence for you, miss Yon, Miss Millie Yan of
Speaker 1: the Department of Finance of the State of California, blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, millions of dollars in annual savings, and we
Speaker 1: don't want to give that up. It would be too
Speaker 1: expensive to jail people who buy sixteen year old girls
Speaker 1: to rape them because they can't consent, certainly not to
Speaker 1: being prostituted. So we will allow children to continue to
Speaker 1: be raped in California to sell to save money. Millie,
Speaker 1: did I get that right? Feel free to wag, feel
Speaker 1: free to get in contact if you don't find that
Speaker 1: accurate enough. That's horrifying. I don't want to get into
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight presidential elections way too early. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the current guy is what eight months into his first
Speaker 1: his term. But it'll be interesting to see if Gamma
Speaker 1: Newsom can run without being tarred with the reality of
Speaker 1: his state. He's certainly gonna try, and it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see if that works or not. It will absolutely,
Speaker 1: but it strikes me this is absolutely the perfect time
Speaker 1: to do this. We have to do this right now.
Speaker 1: Clip sixty Matt Finn special report, Fox News last night.
Speaker 9: Fox News exclusively on scene during a pre dawn takedown
Speaker 9: of the Hoover Street at that the federal government says
Speaker 9: runs a heinous sex trafficking operation, exploiting victims as young
Speaker 9: as fourteen years old.
Speaker 1: With the promise of a wealthy lifestyle. Has he been here?
Speaker 1: Is he in the residence?
Speaker 9: In a partnered operation named Broken Laid Homeland Security, the
Speaker 9: DOJ and LAPD targeted eleven suspects across Los Angeles. The
Speaker 9: US Attorney's Office tells Fox it's the first time it's
Speaker 9: pursued a racketeering case for human trafficking in LA.
Speaker 1: You see something, call it out. This is the FEDS
Speaker 1: and the locals in LA. Good job LA carrying out
Speaker 1: Operation Broken Blade. And one more clip. Just to tell
Speaker 1: you about these fourteen, fifteen, sixteen seventeen year olds, often girls,
Speaker 1: sometimes boys, who are being sold to be raped with
Speaker 1: the approval of the Gavin administration.
Speaker 9: Federal investigators say a female, a Maya Armstead, who goes
Speaker 9: by the street name Lady Duck, is a prolific human
Speaker 9: trafficker who ruled with force her Moniker even tattooed on
Speaker 9: at least four victims' bodies. The criminal complaint alleges Armstead
Speaker 9: posted a video of herself beating a woman in a
Speaker 9: convenience store, holding her down by the hair and repeatedly
Speaker 9: kicking and seeing her. The woman shouts that she's pregnant,
Speaker 9: but defendant Armstead continues to beat her. In another instance,
Speaker 9: the complaint alleges an associate of Arms said asked if
Speaker 9: she wanted to purchase his sex worker for one thousand dollars,
Speaker 9: noting that if she did not, he would sell her
Speaker 9: organs across the border.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. On the other hand, according to Millie
Speaker 1: Yan of the Govenet Administration, California, successfully blah blah blah
Speaker 1: made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars in annual savings. Woo, that's rough. That pregnant
Speaker 1: young girl getting the hell beat out of her on
Speaker 1: the floor of a convenience store. That's who we're talking about. Hey, liberals,
Speaker 1: don't you worry about that sort of thing? Seconding, so
Speaker 1: what do you if you do? What do you do
Speaker 1: if you got a neighbor who for some reason blows
Speaker 1: a train horn over and over in his house next
Speaker 1: to you, like a real one, real train horn. There's
Speaker 1: lots of different kinds of crazy. We got that and
Speaker 1: other stuff all the way. Stay here, he Yet he
Speaker 1: does this periodically several times during the day. It only
Speaker 1: shuts off when the air runs out because it's blasted
Speaker 1: by air. Then he turns it back on. It has
Speaker 1: a range of three and a half miles. It is
Speaker 1: an actual train horn. I want justice to be served.
Speaker 1: I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors.
Speaker 5: I honestly to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you
Speaker 5: guys in your own homes.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to do. I mean, I
Speaker 1: hear what he's saying. He needs help, but what kind
Speaker 1: of help does he need?
Speaker 6: The three cop cars showed up there or here for
Speaker 6: about a half hour, and they all turn around and
Speaker 6: hopped in their cars and drove away.
Speaker 1: So the guy bought was that the guy that blows
Speaker 1: the train horn saying I'm sorry? Yes, what what do
Speaker 1: you do? Sincerely apologize to my neighbors, said Bob. What's
Speaker 1: his first name? Well was last Gary Boyadzian. But he
Speaker 1: has no plans to stop I do sincerely apologize to
Speaker 1: my neighbors. I honest to gods, I'm so sorry to
Speaker 1: discomfort you guys in your own homes. But I don't
Speaker 1: know what else to do. Hey, Gary, Gary, I get
Speaker 1: an idea. It's kind of more what you gotta not do.
Speaker 1: Here's what you should do. Just spinball in her stop
Speaker 1: blowing your freaking train horn. So he wouldn't explain the
Speaker 1: nature of what his personal grievance was, only that he
Speaker 1: needed help and that he wanted quote justice to be served.
Speaker 1: Set a neighbor and frustration. I mean, I hear what
Speaker 1: he's saying. He needs help, but what kind of help
Speaker 1: does he need? He's fifty years old. The cops found
Speaker 1: ten horns when they finally kicked in his door yesterday.
Speaker 1: Ten He had ten train horns in his house or
Speaker 1: even buy a train horn. Listen, what does that have
Speaker 1: to do with justice being served? He needs justice. Therefore,
Speaker 1: he blows his train horn several times a day. Those
Speaker 1: things can be Those things can be heard from for miles.
Speaker 1: He started blaring the horns each afternoon. Wow, there are
Speaker 1: so many different kinds of nuts out there. Then, yeah,
Speaker 1: the horn has an effective range of three point five miles.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being next door? Yeah, they seriously do
Speaker 1: invent a new kind of crazy every day. And when
Speaker 1: the police were coming, he would turn them off and
Speaker 1: then what are you talking about? And then I guess
Speaker 1: the cops would think, well, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: Hang around and hope he blows the horn again because
Speaker 1: we didn't hear it. We know he doesn't know what
Speaker 1: else to do. Jack, that's the funny. He needs justice
Speaker 1: to be served, he told ABC seven. They arrested me
Speaker 1: just for blowing a horn. Wow, did you see how
Speaker 1: many of them showed up at my house yesterday? Like
Speaker 1: I'm an effing criminal? Well you are? You literally are?
Speaker 1: I mean you're not a murder or anything, but yeah,
Speaker 1: you're breaking the law. Repeatedly, he said that the horns
Speaker 1: were a cry for help, claiming the LAPD is helping
Speaker 1: a mobster trying to kill him. Okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: yeah psycho, Yeah too bad. Wow, that is rough. He'd
Speaker 1: lived in that neighborhood for twenty years without issue neighbors
Speaker 1: around him twenty years, and all of a sudden, every
Speaker 1: afternoon he starts setting off a train horn. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, go over and knock on the door. Maybe
Speaker 1: the first day, probably, but certainly the second day. I
Speaker 1: go over and say, what was that my train horn?
Speaker 1: I'm a trying to alert people to the fact that
Speaker 1: the LAPD won't protect me from this hitman who's trying
Speaker 1: to kill me. What else to do? I need justice.
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's got like the crossing gates of
Speaker 1: his big front door. I wonder if he makes school
Speaker 1: buses stop and open their doors and look both ways
Speaker 1: before they drive by his house. Wow. Wow, If I
Speaker 1: could stand it, I'd probably lay back just to observe
Speaker 1: how this is going to play out. If I could
Speaker 1: stand the train horn every afternoon, Yeah, because it's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: We got a good guest to talk about the Putin
Speaker 1: Trump summit, and there's new information coming out all the time.
Speaker 1: An hour three, I hope you can grab it. Armstrong
