Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and no He Armstrong and Jetty.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys were so close it was like
Speaker 1: Brandolina or Benefit. Now you know that Elon and Trump,
Speaker 1: they had their own couple name.
Speaker 3: We are gonna get back into talking about the riots
Speaker 3: in La here in a little bit. It has been
Speaker 3: the lead story on all my evening newscasts for three
Speaker 3: straight days and deservedly so, and probably for a fourth
Speaker 3: day because it's out of control, and Joe's guesses it's
Speaker 3: gonna get worse.
Speaker 1: Yes, Indeed, the pros have hit town, the professional revolutionaries,
Speaker 1: the black masked cafia wearing Antifa types.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's more on that.
Speaker 3: And Kamala Harris made her first major statement since she
Speaker 3: lost the presidential election about as good as you would
Speaker 3: expect it to be in Oh, that's sort of.
Speaker 2: How pleasing no One.
Speaker 1: So those who were hungering for Kamala Harris to make
Speaker 1: a comment, I guess are placed.
Speaker 2: I'm over the Elon. I'm over the Elon and.
Speaker 3: Trump feud in terms of interest other than every single
Speaker 3: in real life. Almost almost everyone I've talked to has
Speaker 3: hit me with a conspiracy theory on this, and I
Speaker 3: just and we've gotten a lot of texts about it,
Speaker 3: so I thought it'd be worth bringing up. And well,
Speaker 3: Speaker Mike Johnson sets it up.
Speaker 4: I didn't go out to craft a piece of legislation
Speaker 4: to please the richest man in the world. What we're
Speaker 4: trying to do is help hardwiking Americans who are trying
Speaker 4: to provide for their families and make ends meet. Those
Speaker 4: are the people that are going to be excited about
Speaker 4: what this legislation produces. This is going to be Jeff economy,
Speaker 4: and I'll tell you what. All wages are going to rise.
Speaker 4: There's going to be more jobs and economic opportunity for
Speaker 4: more people. We cannot wait to deliver that.
Speaker 3: So Speaker Mike Johnson saying, hey, we're not crafting legislation
Speaker 3: for the richest man in the world. Almost everybody I've
Speaker 3: talked to about this has said, don't you think this
Speaker 3: is on purpose? That they contrived this? And this is
Speaker 3: starting last Thursday or Friday whenever this broke. People saying
Speaker 3: this to me in the hallways here at work, and
Speaker 3: you know, wherever I am. That it was contrived to
Speaker 3: one help Elon get back on the side of the lefties,
Speaker 3: which would help his business the Tesla back on track.
Speaker 3: That Trump was like giving him a little help there
Speaker 3: so he could be you know, anti Trump and also
Speaker 3: on the side of this bill. See, we're we're not
Speaker 3: crafting this for oli arts. The oligarch hates this bill.
Speaker 3: Make it seem like it's for the American people, like
Speaker 3: Speaker Johnson just did. I don't buy that. I don't
Speaker 3: think that's the case. But you know, no, I like
Speaker 3: the first one a lot more than the second one. Well,
Speaker 3: both at the plausibility you're working together, that's the same conspiracy.
Speaker 3: That's one conspiracy. They're working together. Elon attacks the bill
Speaker 3: makes it look like it's not helping billionaires, which it's
Speaker 3: not crafted for billionaires, but makes it look like it's
Speaker 3: not written by billionaires, it's not an oligarchy. And then
Speaker 3: on the other side, Elon gets to reclaim his anti
Speaker 3: Trump status and maybe people start buying tensils again.
Speaker 2: I'm buying that. Yeah, I don't know, and I'll never know.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying it's not one person that brought
Speaker 3: that up to me, probably a dozen people since last
Speaker 3: Friday brought that up to me, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that the second again, the second
Speaker 1: half would be more plausible if more people were paying
Speaker 1: closer attention.
Speaker 2: The bill is in trouble.
Speaker 1: By the way, there are several senators who are standing
Speaker 1: up and saying they're huge flaws with this thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can go for it.
Speaker 3: Oh, running through a number of stories that you may
Speaker 3: have missed, and again we'll get back to the riots
Speaker 3: in La in a little bit. So we have mentioned
Speaker 3: that Greta Thunberg was on a flotilla a boat trying
Speaker 3: to bring aid to the starving Palestinians right to help
Speaker 3: with climate change or is she just completely moved on
Speaker 3: she's moved well, I think she's still into climate change.
Speaker 3: But this is a different topic. This it's not even irony,
Speaker 3: it's not the right word for this. Got pointed it
Speaker 3: over the weekend. They're big yacht full of protesters headed
Speaker 3: to Gaza past a raft full of Sudanese refugees fleeing
Speaker 3: an actual genocide where nearly two hundred thousand people are
Speaker 3: dead and twenty million are literally starving to death and
Speaker 3: they didn't stop or help any of those Sudanese there
Speaker 3: on their way to Gaza.
Speaker 1: So apparently Sudanese lives don't fit their nerd. No, it's
Speaker 1: about victim oppressor ideology and overthrowing the West.
Speaker 3: So I got one more news nugget that I came across.
Speaker 3: It's gonna spark a discussion. But you got something you
Speaker 3: want to get before I get to that, because I
Speaker 3: want to hijack the whole thing here.
Speaker 2: Oh I just switched off my stuff. I thought you
Speaker 2: had ahead of steam.
Speaker 1: I always got ahead of steam. Doesn't mean it's just
Speaker 1: clicked away. Mean, oh, you know what I want to
Speaker 1: throw out? This is apropos nothing but number one I
Speaker 1: can close the tab and number two I wanted.
Speaker 2: To talk about it.
Speaker 1: Louisiana State University of Shreveport, their baseball team went fifty nine,
Speaker 1: and oh wow, it is, as far as anybody can tell,
Speaker 1: the only time any competitive baseball team on any level
Speaker 1: close to this has had an undefeated season. You can't
Speaker 1: do that in baseball because of the nature of the game.
Speaker 1: It is flabber gas and the players and coaches can't
Speaker 1: believe it either.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, nature of the game in the length of
Speaker 3: the season. You play fifty nine games in any sport,
Speaker 3: you're not gonna go undefeated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna get a bad hop or your pitcher's
Speaker 1: gonna lose his control or something that bad game. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: way to go LSU Shreveport. Wow, freaking believable. Yeah, right now,
Speaker 1: back to the grim hatred of the I've got an
Speaker 1: interesting Warren famine.
Speaker 3: I've got an interesting stat. I'm not getting into Warren famine.
Speaker 3: We'll get back into Warren famine oddly enough in Los
Speaker 3: Angeles coming up in a second. But I've got an
Speaker 3: interesting stat about a change in men yet another one
Speaker 3: that should be a headline after this.
Speaker 2: Wow. Interesting. So we're from our friends at Trust and Will.
Speaker 1: You, as a grown up, have probably heard it's really
Speaker 1: important to have a trust or a will or both
Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody knows what your wishes are

Speaker 1: the hell of the probate process.
Speaker 2: Don't do that to them.
Speaker 1: Well, with Trust and Will, you can create and manage
Speaker 1: a custom estate plans starting at just one hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety nine bucks for real.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you're thinking like me I should do that.
Speaker 3: I've been meaning to do that, but then I got
Speaker 3: to figure out who and call a lawyer and go
Speaker 3: meet with them and gather up the forums and ah.
Speaker 3: This you do on a website. Manage your trust will online.

Speaker 1: get twenty percent off on your estate plan documents, secure
Speaker 1: your assets, protect your loved ones. Trustendwill dot com slash
Speaker 1: armstrong for that twenty percent off.
Speaker 3: So we comment a lot on societal changes that are huge,
Speaker 3: but don't get enough commentary around you know, people not dating, marrying,
Speaker 3: having kids the way they used to, all that sort
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 2: Why we ignore that? This is an interesting one.
Speaker 3: Before the nineteen eighties, men who did not complete college
Speaker 3: had higher rates of married family formation compare to those
Speaker 3: who did complete college. Before the nineteen eighty if you
Speaker 3: didn't go to college, you're more likely to get married
Speaker 3: rather than less likely. Over the last forty years, the
Speaker 3: trend has gone the other direction, and now men who
Speaker 3: have not graduated from college are much less likely to
Speaker 3: get married than people that went to college. That is
Speaker 3: a hillbilly elegy. Interesting, something is going on there that
Speaker 3: ain't good. Yeah, I've read a fair amount.
Speaker 1: I don't have it at my fingertips about the the
Speaker 1: earnings gap between women who are going to college in
Speaker 1: numbers never seen before and getting fake educations, by the way,
Speaker 1: that are overly expensive, and they have a higher earning
Speaker 1: power than a man who didn't go to college. These
Speaker 1: are broad averages, obviously, and that there is still a
Speaker 1: hesitation among women to get with a guy who can't
Speaker 1: earn as much as they do.
Speaker 3: So the college graduate women are going around saying, I
Speaker 3: ain't saying he's a goal digger, but I ain't going with.
Speaker 2: No broke plumber. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Actually, if you're going with a plumber, yeah broke. I
Speaker 1: was just trying to come up with a rhyme. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. That might explain some of it.
Speaker 1: Are part of it.
Speaker 3: People are just not coupling in general. You know, that's
Speaker 3: a good point. It doesn't. That's a good point. It
Speaker 3: doesn't give the other side maybe, and college graduates also
Speaker 3: are much less likely to get married than they were before,
Speaker 3: which is almost certainly true. So if you know, Paul
Speaker 3: Plummer's an interesting flip either way you look at it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, who knows, who knows.
Speaker 1: It's very odd though, as we've said a million times,
Speaker 1: if it was any species but humans, the world of
Speaker 1: science would be screaming that this is incredibly important and
Speaker 1: it's a crisis and we need to deal with it.
Speaker 3: So I promised that I want to get this on
Speaker 3: like at least once every half hour. This is Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 3: governor of California, responding to Tom Holman, the guy that's
Speaker 3: running this whole immigration thing.
Speaker 2: He's a tough guy, wasn't he do that? He knows
Speaker 2: where to come after me, arrest me. Let's just get
Speaker 2: it over with, guys.
Speaker 3: Yes, no posturing there, no play into the cameras, no
Speaker 3: stunting there. That's just gavinism. Made a good loyal resistance.
Speaker 3: That's right, you know what. And I assumed Gavin was
Speaker 3: smarter than this.
Speaker 1: He thinks running for president is just like running for
Speaker 1: governor of California.
Speaker 2: Or maybe mayor of San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean he is tacked to the center
Speaker 1: at times, but he doesn't realize because he's so bubbled
Speaker 1: how incredibly toxic a lot of his points of view
Speaker 1: are to most of America because he never gets any
Speaker 1: pushback in cal Unicornia, it's a one party dictatorship, so
Speaker 1: he thinks that's sort of okay. I need to show
Speaker 1: him tough and resolute and standing up for the people.
Speaker 1: But Gavin, you're doing it in favor of not deporting
Speaker 1: dangerous criminals who have no right to be in the country.
Speaker 1: That does not play brother, That does not play across
Speaker 1: the broad fruited plane.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Remember, Trump got more male Hispanic votes than the Democrat
Speaker 3: did and continues to have historically. Like I saw a
Speaker 3: chart yesterday and did dig that up. He's got a
Speaker 3: higher approval rating at this point than Obama had. Right,
Speaker 3: and the assumption that Hispanic people in general are anti
Speaker 3: cracking down on illegal immigration is just fictional, but it
Speaker 3: seems to be universally held among the media. We'll check
Speaker 3: in with our sports reporter coming up, Roland Garris will
Speaker 3: check in with the latest on the French Open I
Speaker 3: wish I had to watch both those tennis matches. I
Speaker 3: read over and over on Twitter yesterday that there were
Speaker 3: a couple of the best tennis matches in the history
Speaker 3: of the sport, the female and the men. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: men was five plus hours. Yeah yeah, Well, probably not
Speaker 3: going to go back and watch it, but let.
Speaker 2: Me know when they're getting close to being done. Maybe
Speaker 2: I'll tune it in.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I used to love to watch those. We've
Speaker 3: got so much to get to today. And then we
Speaker 3: got a great guest formerly with LAPD. He was going
Speaker 3: to try to explain to us what was going on
Speaker 3: over the weekend, or where things might go, or what
Speaker 3: they can do and what they can't do. This this
Speaker 3: is quite the standoff between Trump and Gavin and decency
Speaker 3: and non decency. In my opinion, stay tuned. LAPD has
Speaker 3: declared all of downtown La an unlawful assembly area, so
Speaker 3: it ain't no assembling, So that gives them the right
Speaker 3: to boot you out no matter what's going on, right,
Speaker 3: you can't claimb here peacefully assembling. We're gonna talk to
Speaker 3: retired LAPD sergeant former Lac City councilman Dennis Zin coming
Speaker 3: up in a little bit about what happened over the weekend.
Speaker 3: It is a big, big story. I was in a
Speaker 3: safer part of California yesterday, drove to Modesto with my
Speaker 3: son for the Big American Graffiti Car Days that they
Speaker 3: have every summer, and it's one of the biggest car
Speaker 3: shows in America. It's really cool. We caught the tail
Speaker 3: end of it. But I wasn't gonna talk about the cars.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about this. Could you if you were
Speaker 3: out roaming around a little bit hungry and there's a
Speaker 3: food truck called the Twisted Pig, could you walk by
Speaker 3: that and not order something?
Speaker 2: I couldn't. I would eyeb all the menu carefully at
Speaker 2: the least.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a deciding between the pulled pork sandwich
Speaker 3: in the try tip, and I went with the try
Speaker 3: tip and it was very, very good. But I don't know,
Speaker 3: you call yourself the Twisted Pig a guy like me,
Speaker 3: you just I don't mind.
Speaker 1: You might as well reach in my pocket and take
Speaker 1: my money out. I mean, I couldn't stop. You got
Speaker 1: beef from the Twisted Pig.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. That's a good point, But the
Speaker 2: main thing is gonna.
Speaker 3: I almost dropped my sunglasses into a truck into a
Speaker 3: truck stop toilet.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: I p had him on my head on a bent
Speaker 3: over to clean off the disgusting seat, and my sunglasses
Speaker 3: fell off of my head and just luckily bounced off
Speaker 3: the seat and went sideways as opposed to right into
Speaker 3: the toilet.
Speaker 1: And I see, just I don't know, well, and you
Speaker 1: got in your rational mind. I mean, wash with hot
Speaker 1: soapy water. It never feels and know that that's look,
Speaker 1: I understand science. These glasses are fine. Then you'd put
Speaker 1: them on your head and think, Oh, I think if
Speaker 1: they fall in you just flush them down.
Speaker 2: Well I wasn't. I wouldn't have fished them out. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know. There were two hundred bucks. You gotta
Speaker 2: fish them out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Michael, you wouldn't remember the guy guy we used
Speaker 3: to work with, the guy that wore the robe all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: We used to work with.
Speaker 1: Remember we were we were in the restroom, side by
Speaker 1: side of the stalls, and what happened to my belt
Speaker 1: buckle fell in the toilet And he said, if that happened,
Speaker 1: you just fishing and rinse it. Fishing and rinse it, dude,
Speaker 1: fishing rinse it. So that's what I'd carry down to Earth.
Speaker 1: I would have known my fishing and rinse it disgusting. Oh,
Speaker 1: I should probably pay you this off I mentioned I was.
Speaker 1: I was in an outlet mall on Saturday with my
Speaker 1: daughter who was shopping for clothes for her internship. And uh,
Speaker 1: and there was the big Pride celebration, okay. And it
Speaker 1: was in the like in the parking lot and their
Speaker 1: booths and the DJ was cranking music was the twisted
Speaker 1: Big there No, there were no no pigs twisted or untwisted,
Speaker 1: but it was, you know, about the usual assortment of
Speaker 1: misfits and guys wearing pink shorts and folks and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm fine, I don't I don't really have a hassle
Speaker 1: with anybody. My only reaction to it was I want
Speaker 1: to start a brand new charity that raises millions of
Speaker 1: dollars to give free guitar lessons to gay people wherever
Speaker 1: they might be so they can start playing better music. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was just this awful throbbing I'm at a rave
Speaker 1: disc them It's a sunshiny Saturday afternoon and they're cranking
Speaker 1: this ridiculous, terrible techno, garbage music. Whatever happened? Elton John
Speaker 1: stands me. You want a gay icon? Even the Great
Speaker 1: Share Ladies and was straight. But anyway, who else?
Speaker 2: The girls? Oh my god, I love them. They're fabulous.
Speaker 2: Doom goodom Goodomo goodom.
Speaker 1: For like fifteen straight minutes, everybody's walking around the parking
Speaker 1: lot and their shorts. Why are the terrible? As a musician,
Speaker 1: I was offended? Have some pride in your music?
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 1: George Soros is spending many millions of dollars trying to
Speaker 1: turn Texas blue, multimillion dollar effort that would be obviously
Speaker 1: a huge deal. Yeah, they've suffered through decades of electoral
Speaker 1: losses in the nation's second largest state, Texas majority pack
Speaker 1: a Soros funded pack. You remember when people used to
Speaker 1: say George Soros, it's like the Wizard of Oz. Your
Speaker 1: conservatives are always talking about him. And then they'd say, well,
Speaker 1: you're an anti Semite because Soros is a Jew and
Speaker 1: so protesting.
Speaker 2: Even lion liars.
Speaker 1: He finances the most loathsome of organizations that hate America
Speaker 1: all over the country. But they're trying to organize tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates, and boosts turn out
Speaker 1: ahead of the twenty twenty six mid terms.
Speaker 2: I wish them well.
Speaker 3: It is hard to not continue to report on the
Speaker 3: biggest story in America as there keeps being breaking news.
Speaker 3: California is now officially suing Donald Trump over sending in
Speaker 3: the National Guard to try to deal with the riding
Speaker 3: over the weekend.
Speaker 2: So that is the way Jackasses sue away.
Speaker 3: So that would be an interesting legal battle, and we'll
Speaker 3: see how that turns out.
Speaker 2: We're going to have.
Speaker 1: A mostly peaceful interview with a former LA councilman and
Speaker 1: LAPD sergeant. Love that Jent knows the politics, he knows
Speaker 1: the law enforcement sides about what's going on in LA.
Speaker 3: Oh and if you haven't heard this clip from ABC
Speaker 3: seven in Los Angeles while everything was on fire, we
Speaker 3: got to play that clip before we do the interview.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's you can't believe it's true.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's better than mostly peaceful protests during George Floyd.
Speaker 2: It's incredible. They spit, we hit huh ohh boy. We
Speaker 2: get a lot on the way, stay here, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 5: Large group of people. It could turn very volatile if
Speaker 5: you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way
Speaker 5: and turn what is just a bunch of people having
Speaker 5: fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation
Speaker 5: between officers and demonstrators.
Speaker 3: That's not AI, that's actually ABC seven in Los Angeles
Speaker 3: over the weekend saying things could turn volatile if you
Speaker 3: send in law enforcement as people are just enjoying themselves
Speaker 3: watching cars burn.
Speaker 2: What that's the sort.
Speaker 1: Of ridiculous commentary you're getting from a lot of the
Speaker 1: media around the country.
Speaker 2: That's one of the craziest things I've ever heard anybody say.
Speaker 1: For some much more learned perspective, we're going to turned
Speaker 1: to Dennis Zion, retired LAPD sergeant, former LA City councilman,
Speaker 1: Worth mentioning that Dennis has experienced a lot of this
Speaker 1: sort of thing before, multiple terms as a city councilman.
Speaker 1: Honored as Officer of the Year by the California Highway Patrol. Dennis,
Speaker 1: how are you, sir.
Speaker 6: I'm doing wonderful this morning, and gentlemen, thank you.
Speaker 3: So I woke up and saw people smashing the windows
Speaker 3: out of police headquarters for Los Angeles Police Department.
Speaker 2: How do you react to that?
Speaker 6: This reminds me and I joined the LAPD in nineteen
Speaker 6: sixty eight, twenty one years old, right out of college.
Speaker 6: This reminds me of riots that we've had in the past,
Speaker 6: and people want to ignore that. But when we have
Speaker 6: political officials that play into the hands of the hooligans,
Speaker 6: these are the tragedies that occur. And I witnessed yesterday,
Speaker 6: was occurring the last couple of days, what was occurring
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, and it just reminds me of what's
Speaker 6: happened in the past. And what I want to highlight
Speaker 6: is lostantus pairing for the World Cup, the World Olympics.
Speaker 6: It comes to Los Angeles, folks. What happens in Los
Speaker 6: Angeles people forget. And I've been in this law enforcement
Speaker 6: for fifty six years. I still serve in the LAPD
Speaker 6: as a reserve officer, and I have a son who's
Speaker 6: with the LAPD, So I'm very close to public safety
Speaker 6: and Native Angelino. But what I see is a failed
Speaker 6: leadership and now the governor wants to attack president. The
Speaker 6: president wants to assert his authority. The bottom line is
Speaker 6: cops need to be supported to protect and serve, and
Speaker 6: they're not able to do that. They have a City
Speaker 6: Council Los Angeles majority of them are not supporting law enforcement.
Speaker 6: What they want to do is dis armed police. We
Speaker 6: have a major crisis happening, and I don't understand how
Speaker 6: people don't wake up when I was watching on TV yesterday,
Speaker 6: how they've taken over the freeway. How are they're destroying
Speaker 6: California High Patrol cars, How they're assaulting police officers and
Speaker 6: just a token number get arrested. It's unbelievable that in
Speaker 6: this city this type of activity takes place when we're
Speaker 6: going to sponsor the look the World Olympics come to
Speaker 6: Los Angeles and be a victim. What we've seen happening
Speaker 6: last night was looting, stores, broken into vandalism, graffiti all over,
Speaker 6: these taxis that were burned. It just it doesn't stop.
Speaker 1: And now the both the governor and Mayor Karen Bass said,
Speaker 1: we have no need for the Feds. We've got this
Speaker 1: under control. How do you react to that.
Speaker 6: Well, it was not under control. Clearly. Let me tell
Speaker 6: the numbers, right. LAPD has eight seven hundred and forty
Speaker 6: six officers. That's from the recruiting the academy to the
Speaker 6: chief of Police eighty seven forty six and in twenty
Speaker 6: nineteen we had ten thousand and seventy two officers. Wow,
Speaker 6: and when we're talking about eighty seven forty six, that
Speaker 6: includes every recruit, that includes the command staff, that includes detectives,
Speaker 6: that includes the people in the helicopter, that includes everyone.
Speaker 6: Eighty seven forty six. We're a city this size, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6: And we don't have a majority of the council supporting
Speaker 6: law and order in the City of Los Angeles, and
Speaker 6: we have a mayor has to waffle back and forth
Speaker 6: to appease those that don't want to support the LAPD.
Speaker 6: And I feel bad for the taxpayers because they're not
Speaker 6: getting the service they deserving, their paying for in the
Speaker 6: City of the Angels. And I will tell you the
Speaker 6: Angels have left Los Angeles. They have flown west. They're
Speaker 6: out of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: So help me understand what should happen. If you've got
Speaker 3: a mob that is acting like this, do you shoot people?
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you stop it?
Speaker 6: You don't use deadly force. You don't use deadily force.
Speaker 6: That's the last resort. But what you do is you
Speaker 6: enforce the law. You start corralling them, bringing to the
Speaker 6: buss arrest them, take them down, book them, put them
Speaker 6: in the criminal justice system. Let the courts deal with it.
Speaker 6: They didn't do that. What they're doing is they're like
Speaker 6: they're sweeping them. They're sweeping them this way and that
Speaker 6: way through downtown. Then they go onto the freeway, they
Speaker 6: take over the Harbor Freeway, and then they're assaulting the
Speaker 6: CHP They're destroying their cars. It's outrageous to see in
Speaker 6: the City of the Angels that this type of bacteriy
Speaker 6: would take place in this day of history. It's absolutely unimaginable.
Speaker 6: And then the political officials, the governor wants to challenge
Speaker 6: the president, the president wants to assert his authority. Someone's
Speaker 6: going to be responsible. Pointing the finger back and forth
Speaker 6: is not solving the problem. We need to have law
Speaker 6: enforcement do their job in a professional matter. LA City.
Speaker 6: The state of California has an immigration policy. We don't
Speaker 6: enforce immigration laws period. It's in the law in California.
Speaker 6: We don't enforce it. LAPD. You can be arrested for murder, robbery, rape,
Speaker 6: if you're here illegally, that doesn't count. They only enforce
Speaker 6: the criminal codes, not in immigration. Yet they're coming out
Speaker 6: condemning about this immigration issue. It's a federal issue. It's
Speaker 6: not a local issue, it's not a state issue. But
Speaker 6: when you have the politicians can't seem to get along,
Speaker 6: we have this controversy that takes place. Now we have
Speaker 6: what happens now in Los Angeles, in downtown LA, which
Speaker 6: is a metropolitan area, a lot of businesses, a lot
Speaker 6: of activities. This is it's almost comical. You could write
Speaker 6: a comedy how terrible politicians going to act and lead
Speaker 6: and discover what we end up with the tragedies that
Speaker 6: have occurred. And now we're expecting more prost tests today.
Speaker 1: And Honnest Snein is a retired LAPD sergeant, former LA
Speaker 1: City Council and tennis And it is my opinion that
Speaker 1: the pros, the antifatypes, the black flag types, they are
Speaker 1: flocking to Los Angeles now because they want to go
Speaker 1: wherever there is protest, wherever there is you know, legitimate
Speaker 1: unhappiness or whatever, and harness that energy to their goals.
Speaker 2: How familiar are you with what they do and how
Speaker 2: they do it?
Speaker 6: Well, I know what their tactics are. What they do
Speaker 6: is they bring it together and they continue this challenge.
Speaker 6: They want to continue this as long as they can.
Speaker 6: I mean they're in the headlines. We're national news, Los
Speaker 6: Angus national news. We're not national news about having the
Speaker 6: Olympics and all these world affairs, the Academy Awards. No,
Speaker 6: we're in the news because we've got chaos taking place.
Speaker 6: We've got people taking over free we've got people assaulting
Speaker 6: police offic we've got officers hurt. Howard patrol officers, LAPD off.
Speaker 6: We brought in mutual aid, the sriffs Department, the National Guard.
Speaker 6: I mean, clearly LAPD does not have the resources to
Speaker 6: maintain control of the city of Los Angers. When we
Speaker 6: have this type of situation take place, they still have
Speaker 6: calls for service. People call nine one one, Well where's
Speaker 6: the police officers, Well, they're down in a demonstration. We
Speaker 6: don't can't respond to your call. This is outrageous conduct.
Speaker 6: So the police is your civilian police department that handles
Speaker 6: crime and handles the situations that they can handle. They're
Speaker 6: not geared for this type of demonstration activity. They're trained
Speaker 6: for it, but this isn't an everyday occurrence, and sadly,
Speaker 6: it diverts all these resources, especially on a Sunday. Sunday
Speaker 6: is a low deployment day. Your detectives are off, your
Speaker 6: undercover officers are off. You have your uniform forces, and
Speaker 6: now they have to muster them throughout the city of
Speaker 6: Los Angers to go down there and protect downtown Los Angers.
Speaker 6: And I saw, I said many times, we're the buses
Speaker 6: where we arrest these people who commit these crimes and
Speaker 6: put them in the criminal justice system, take them to
Speaker 6: county jail and book them. No one was getting arrested.
Speaker 6: I mean a token number got arrested, but they didn't
Speaker 6: make them men arrests as they used to quill the situation.
Speaker 6: As it continues day after day after day, it just
Speaker 6: gets worse and more property damage and then more of
Speaker 6: a headline. Los Angeles can't manage itself.
Speaker 1: Dennis zign Report, retired LAPD and LA City Councilman, Dennis,
Speaker 1: great stuff.
Speaker 2: We look forward to staying in touch. Well done. Good
Speaker 2: to talk to you.
Speaker 6: Know.
Speaker 3: I might be talking to you tomorrow. I hadn't even
Speaker 3: thought about that. I mean, that's obviously true whenever you
Speaker 3: have a situation like this, but you got every single
Speaker 3: cop devoted to this story.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is a big city full of crime. Ain't
Speaker 1: nobody around anything else. Oh my god, that is rough.
Speaker 1: I want to hear it again, Play ABC seven again.
Speaker 1: So and you need to see the visual. The visual
Speaker 1: is cars on fire, smoking the air, chunks a cement
Speaker 1: on the pavement, being thrown at cops.
Speaker 2: And this is what the host says.
Speaker 5: Large group of people. It could turn very volatile if
Speaker 5: you move law enforcement in there and the wrong way
Speaker 5: and turn what is just a bunch of people having
Speaker 5: fun watching carsburn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers.
Speaker 3: Surely and demonstrated, surely he wishes he had that one back.
Speaker 3: Surely he wishes he had that one back that he
Speaker 3: didn't say it could turn volatile. You have people just
Speaker 3: having fun watching cars on fire. Right, it's not quite
Speaker 3: to the level of the cheesecake factory being looted. There
Speaker 3: goes someone with a cheesecake, not sure where they got that.
Speaker 3: I mean, it has it didn't quite reach that level,
Speaker 3: but it's awfully bad.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: So let me read this from Mark Calpern and his
Speaker 3: news today about his newsletter today about the mainstream media
Speaker 3: coverage of this. We keep saying this is like eighty
Speaker 3: twenty ninety ten is an issue in this country.
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 3: Even in Los Angeles in California, but that ten or
Speaker 3: twenty who were on the side of the mayhem are
Speaker 3: all in the media. Mark Alprin wrote again, this is
Speaker 3: complicated stuff, but the Democrats and the dominant media are
Speaker 3: on the wrong side of the substance and the politics
Speaker 3: of all this. Agreed, there's no way to know how
Speaker 3: this will end, including on the streets, but we already
Speaker 3: know that history is in the process of repeating itself,
Speaker 3: and not in the way Blue America seems to think.
Speaker 2: No, it's going to repeat itself. And as you get
Speaker 2: you know, JD.
Speaker 1: Vance as the next president or a Republican Congress or something.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: Bill Crystal, for instance, Conservative my whole life, still calls
Speaker 3: himself a conservative. You know, went anti Trump and lost
Speaker 3: his mind, tweeted out.
Speaker 1: Mass deportation is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism, as
Speaker 1: it was always intended to be. So this is all
Speaker 1: just a plan by Trump to be an authoritarian. So
Speaker 1: Trump called Biden and said, throw the borders open in
Speaker 1: a way that's never been done and just let in
Speaker 1: millions and millions of people, be they gang members, hardworking,
Speaker 1: honest folk, or anything in between. Child will less, just
Speaker 1: anybody from anywhere on earth.
Speaker 2: Let him in, and then when I get into office,
Speaker 2: all to poor hum. Yeah, good theory. Bill, he has
Speaker 2: lost his mind.
Speaker 1: Well, what are you supposed to do if the previous
Speaker 1: administration allowed the biggest migration in human history, what are
Speaker 1: you supposed to do? Well, I guess there's nothing we
Speaker 1: can do about it, because that'd be mass deportation. Well right,
Speaker 1: you know, as I've been putting out, if you let
Speaker 1: a problem go this long, the solution is going to
Speaker 1: be painful.
Speaker 3: And that happens in life, in politics and business and
Speaker 3: all kinds of things. If you let something get ugly
Speaker 3: enough when you go to fix it, it's gonna be
Speaker 3: an unfortunate situation.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is not We overspent one or we
Speaker 1: ran a credit card up to a limit. We maxed
Speaker 1: out all our credit cards, and we've been embezzling from
Speaker 1: our boss. We don't smoke a little pot on the weekend.
Speaker 1: We're a full blown drug addict. We in fact, we're
Speaker 1: selling now. We have gone so far down the road
Speaker 1: of lawlessness on immigration, the untangling of it is going
Speaker 1: to be painful. Looking for the painless solution, it doesn't exist. Friends,
Speaker 1: And as we were discussing earlier, having observed this in
Speaker 1: Seattle and Portland and in La at times. In Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: the Blue leadership Gaven Newsom, Karen Bass and the LA
Speaker 1: City Council and their ilk they think they can passive
Speaker 1: their way out of this. Here's the problem again. It's
Speaker 1: gone beyond the people who think immigration policy ought to
Speaker 1: be somewhat different, to hell with America, I'm a Mexican crowd.
Speaker 1: And then from them to the professionals as I keep
Speaker 1: bringing up the professional Marxist agitators, the black flag, the Antifa,
Speaker 1: the masked people. By the way, the laws is no
Speaker 1: demonstrating masked. Can we in many many states? Can we
Speaker 1: start enforcing that? For the love of God. But anyway,
Speaker 1: you might be able to just diffuse and wait and
Speaker 1: be passive and the people, the legitimate folks who are
Speaker 1: kind of pissed off. That will work in many cases,
Speaker 1: just keep them from doing too much damage.
Speaker 2: It goes away. But now the pros are involved. Folks.
Speaker 1: You on one hundred and twelve nights in a row
Speaker 1: or whatever that number was, that on holy number in
Speaker 1: Portland where they're attacking the federal courthouse night after night
Speaker 1: after night. That is the result if you don't wait
Speaker 1: in there and start enforcing the law.
Speaker 2: Trust me on this.
Speaker 3: People to night after night, people in masks waving Mexican flags,
Speaker 3: setting things on fire. I know how that's going to
Speaker 3: play politically, even in California.
Speaker 2: Right. I don't know when we'll get to it.
Speaker 3: But did you see Simone Biles Gold medal gymnasts and
Speaker 3: Riley Gaines get into it over the weekend, over the
Speaker 3: whole trans thing. I did not, And that was something
Speaker 3: I have to get to. That headline that Simone Biles
Speaker 3: ended her career. I didn't know what it meant.
Speaker 2: Oh politically like you like, yeah, she is.
Speaker 3: Like a pitch woman and spokeswoman. She ain't gonna make
Speaker 3: more money now than she did before.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Maybe we'll get to that coming up, among other things.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 7: Sounds like from your experience, you've see someone actually walking
Speaker 7: away with a cheesecake there after the cheesecake factory was looted.
Speaker 2: Unclear where they may have gotten that armstrong he yetie.
Speaker 7: It's an update to a story that captivated the internet.
Speaker 2: Take a look at this.
Speaker 7: That missing runaway zebra getting airlifted back to his home
Speaker 7: in Tennessee. This missing pet was on the loose for
Speaker 7: a week, but Ed is now safely back home after
Speaker 7: being spotted in a pasture.
Speaker 2: Near a highway.
Speaker 1: America can breathe again. Jack Ed the Zebra is home.
Speaker 1: Pat and Zebra ed full team coverage next hour. So
Speaker 1: if you saw this over the weekend, I did mention
Speaker 1: on the show last week that this Minnesota girls softball
Speaker 1: team had gone made it to the state championship. They
Speaker 1: got a dude on her team, a transgender pitcher who's
Speaker 1: just dominant, also dominant as a at the plate, so
Speaker 1: like you.
Speaker 2: Know, probably because he's a guy.
Speaker 1: Back to you anyway, So the Minnesota State High School
Speaker 1: League posted a photo of the team making it to
Speaker 1: the state championship on social media. Riley Gains, the activist
Speaker 1: swimmer who swam against Lea Thomas, we know that old story.
Speaker 1: Riley Gains, the activist on the side of sanity, said,
Speaker 1: notice that the comments had been turned off on the
Speaker 1: posting of the Minnesota State high school softball.
Speaker 2: Team, probably because there's a dude on the team.
Speaker 3: Back to you, and she said, to be expected when
Speaker 3: your star player is a boy. Simone Biles, seven time
Speaker 3: Olympic gold medalist, saw the post and told Gains she
Speaker 3: was truly sick all of this campaigning just because you
Speaker 3: lost a race, straight up sore loser. Biles wrote to Gaines,
Speaker 3: who competed against a transgender there's a trans swimmer, Leah
Speaker 3: Thomas and twenty man, a giant man who.
Speaker 2: Could swim really fast. Yeah someone.
Speaker 3: Biles goes on to say, you should be uplifting the
Speaker 3: trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive,
Speaker 3: or creating a new avenue where trans feels safe in
Speaker 3: all sports. Maybe a transgender category category in all sports.
Speaker 6: What did that?
Speaker 2: But instead you get.
Speaker 3: Them out of women's sports, simone, But instead you bully them.
Speaker 3: One thing's for sure, No one in sports is safe
Speaker 3: with you around.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: In another post, Bile said, bully someone your own size,
Speaker 3: which ironically would be a male. I guess saying Riley
Speaker 3: Gaines is big. She's big compared to someone Biles who's like,
Speaker 3: could fit in my pocket your ears. A tall woman
Speaker 3: shot Riley games because somebody's really really good at flipping
Speaker 3: and jumping intowist and she's miraculously good. It doesn't mean
Speaker 3: she has, you know, any wisdom. Riley Gaines responded with
Speaker 3: this is actually so disappointing. It's not my job or
Speaker 3: the job of any woman to figure out how to
Speaker 3: includ lude men in our spaces. You can uplift men
Speaker 3: stealing championships and women's sports with your platform. Men don't
Speaker 3: be long in women's sports. And I say that with
Speaker 3: a full chest. My take is the least controversial take
Speaker 3: on the planet. Simone Bios being a male apologist at
Speaker 3: the expense of young girls dreams, did not.
Speaker 2: Have that on my bingo card. She said, Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 1: You're just straight up jealous because you lost a race,
Speaker 1: Yeah to a six foot four inch man with a
Speaker 1: penis and text testicles calling himself a woman.
Speaker 3: Good final statement from Riley Gaines. Maybe she should compete
Speaker 3: in the pommel horse and rings in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Those are gymnastic sports they don't have for women because
Speaker 3: they don't have the same upper body strength where you
Speaker 3: could really do it. Pointing out that there's a physical
Speaker 3: difference between men and women, and yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: That is a beautiful example of how ideology Trump's intelligence
Speaker 1: at Trump's common sense. It leads people to say and
Speaker 1: think perverse things that are utterly unsupportable.
Speaker 3: How is disappointing. How long on the rings could you
Speaker 3: hold your arms straight out with your body in the middle.
Speaker 3: How long you suppose you could.
Speaker 1: Do that, It would not be measurable by current scientific methods.
Speaker 1: A fraction of a fraction of a second.
Speaker 3: More on the La Riots and hour three off you
Speaker 3: don't get to get the podcast Armstrong and Get You
Speaker 3: on demand
