1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 2: I'm strong and Key Armstrong and Getty. 4 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 3: So let's go to Oregon where there's chaos burning the streets. Antifa, 5 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 3: radical left anarchists are causing chaos in that city. 6 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: So Donald Trump is. 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: Sending in the National Guard now to end he says, 8 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: quote the chaos, death and destruction. This is what he 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: read on truth social We will never allow mobs to 10 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: take over our streets, burn our cities, or destroy America. 11 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 3: The National Guard is now in place and has been 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: dedicated to restoring law and order and ending the chaos, 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: death and destruction. We are a nation of law and 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 3: we will prevail. 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: So that's from Fox and Friends this morning. It's about 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: Trump sending the National Guard into Portland, and for mainstream 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: media and for a lot of America, it seems to 18 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: come out of nowhere. The National Guard in Portland. Why Portland? 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: And I've never quite understood why. I mean, We're a 20 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: big country and it's three thousand miles coast to coast, 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,639 Speaker 2: and almost entirely the media is centered in New York City, 22 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: but is it really that hard to have a grip 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: on what's happening on the other side of the United States. 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: Apparently it is because, as Joe and I complained about 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 2: a lot back in the day, they completely missed the 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: knightly Antifa riots in Portland went on for hundreds of 27 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: days and nobody was talking about it at the time. 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: And what's really interesting to your point slash theory, because 29 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously bias plays a big role in it, 30 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: but even conservative media is sleep at the switch on 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff, which is uh hard to explain. 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, generally, that's why I bring you this. David Marcus 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: writing for Fox News Opinion, and he's writing like it's 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: news to people. Well, it is news to him and 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: a lot of you around the country. I guess it's 36 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: not news to any of us on the West Coast 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: who have been to Portland or San Francisco, or La 38 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: or Seattle over the last several years. Now, I'm going 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: to read a little bit from his piece. His comments 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: about San Francisco are inaccurate. Now, I think that's interesting. 41 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: Here you got a Fox News reporter talking about what 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: Portland like now and he's completely unaware of the fact 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: that San Francisco has turned it around. I have been 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 2: reporting that as a guy who goes into San Francisco regularly, 45 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: that it's completely different in the nice areas of San 46 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: Francisco now than it was a year ago. I mean, 47 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 2: they have really turned it around with the new mayor 48 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: and everything like that, But it used to look like 49 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: the way he's going to describe Portland here. This city 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: is in the national spotlight this week because of the 51 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: violent antics of Antifa with their attacks on the local 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center after President Trump's plan 53 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: to send in federal law enforcement. Maybe you don't know 54 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: that because a lot of mainstream Mountain aren't reporting that 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: the federal agencies agents and buildings have been attacked regularly, 56 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 2: like for like one hundred straight days in Portland, right, 57 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: But there are. 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Plenty of just nice civilian people who are secretaries and 59 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: janitors and stuff in those buildings and they're terrified. 60 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: Here's the writing of David Marcus of Fox, who went 61 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: to Portland this week on Monday morning. Downtown Portland is 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: a ghost town by the standards of most of major 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: American cities. There are basically only two types of people 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: walking around those who have a lot of money and 65 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: those who have none. This is very much a West 66 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: Coast phenomenon, similar in many ways to the mess that 67 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: San Francisco is in my aside being that, hey, David, 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: go to San Francisco. It ain't like that anymore. I 69 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: don't know why it matters so much if you're a 70 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: big city on the East coast, but we don't consider 71 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 2: it part of America if you're on the West coast. 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 2: But anyway, I mean, especially. 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: Because from a conservative point of view, San Francisco has 74 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: turned itself around by embracing the very policies we've been 75 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: howling for. 76 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good Fox story. It's a good story 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: for anybody. Actually, even liberals got fed up enough that 78 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: they're willing to try something different, and hey, it worked anyway. 79 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: Back to Portland. In Portland, it is normal to turn 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: a corner off a block of high end shopping and 81 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: walk into a row of homeless tents, the smell of 82 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 2: human waste and burning drugs commingled. Yes, in case you've 83 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: never experienced this, you could be next to a well, 84 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: uh not that long ago. In San Francisco, you could 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: walk out of sacks fifth avenue which was locked by 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: the way with an armed guard out front of it. 87 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: And walk just a few feet and you got homeless 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: tents and you're scared to be there, and it's just amazing. 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: You can't imagine it. In most places. I'll skip past 90 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: this drug addict bumming a cigarette from him. There are 91 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 2: homeless people sprinkled around the center and city. Let me 92 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: start again and slow down. There are homeless people sprinkled 93 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: around center city Philadelphia, for example, But you have to 94 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: go looking for the pure human misery that is Ken'sington Philadelphia. 95 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: In Portland, it is omnipresent. Yeah, And that's the way 96 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: it is in Seattle and LA and was in San 97 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: Francisco until very recently. 98 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: And I'll never win this fight, but call them transient 99 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: drug addicts. That's what they are. 100 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely. The people of Portland and the media want to 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: put out pictures of Portland of lovely brunches or a 102 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: pretty storefront on social media say look, it's fine here, 103 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: but it's not. And they talked about statements by various 104 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: politicians in the Portland area. Extremely privileged and progressive members 105 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: of Portland. The rich put out these social media posts 106 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: and they live in a bubbled area in which this 107 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 2: just isn't as true, that is not exactly accurate. As 108 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: I pointed out for a long time, just did that 109 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: in San Francisco. It was the nicest hotels and the 110 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: nicest stories, You had this sort of stuff. So any 111 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: effort to claim that the city wasn't take over by 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: you know, street drug addicts, you're just it's a combination 113 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: of lying and denial. And I don't even know what 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: it would be from a psychological standpoint. 115 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: Right well, And it's unbelievable levels of blindness too, because 116 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: the New York Post has a story about the Antifa 117 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: violence and they point out that this one gal, who 118 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: is a disabled black woman living in a low income 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 1: subsidized apartment near the ice facility, says she hasn't slept 120 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: in days because there's so much yelling and violence and 121 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: bull horns and the rest of it. She said, it's miserable. 122 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: And she's the sort of person that the Left claims 123 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: to care about. 124 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: Back to this article, it's not just the homeless that 125 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: Portlanders have grown accustomed to. At the local CBS, which 126 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: looked like something out of the Soviet Union, ninety percent 127 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: of the stock was behind lock and key. Not just 128 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: razors and deodorant, but bags of chips too. I asked 129 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: the arms security guard if he stops a lot of theft. 130 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: He said, look around, there's nothing anyone can steal, and 131 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: mostly here for the crazies or violent people that might 132 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: come in and if you're just tuning in. 133 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: We reported earlier that Walmart has closed its last two 134 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: stores in Portland, following Target out the door. By the way, 135 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: Walmart has a dozen stores right outside Portland in the suburbs, 136 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: but it's just too dangerous and thefty top right within 137 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: the city. 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: Well done, And hey Walmart, Hey, convenience stores, restaurants, any store, Walgreens, 139 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: if you're closing down because there's too many drug addicts 140 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: around to do business, please say it out loud. Just 141 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: say it out loud. We have to. There's too much 142 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 2: theft and it's too dangerous and we can't get anybody 143 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 2: to work here. That's why we're closing down. I don't 144 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: know why they're scared to say that. I guess they 145 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: feel like they'll be attacked by the left for blaming 146 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: the victim or something. I don't know. 147 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: I wonder it's got to be something like that because 148 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: Walmart put out a statement there was like Kamala Harris 149 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: wrote it, I mean, it was just a rambling mess. 150 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: Starbucks always does. But you know there are a lefty 151 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: organization top to bottom, but they never want to say 152 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: out loud why they're closing their stores. The crystal clear 153 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: message that this sends to the citizenry of Portland is 154 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: that they live surrounded by thieves who cannot be trusted, 155 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: so they should go to the protection of fancy restaurants 156 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: or their high rise apartments. Let the streets be the streets, 157 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: and just hide where you live. And then he said, 158 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: this is where Antifa comes back into the story. Why 159 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 2: does Atifa feel empowered to simply take over square blocks 160 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: of Portland as it has and harass whomever they want to. 161 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: In New York City or Philadelphia, the police would eventually 162 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: shut it down. Where I live in West Virginia wouldn't 163 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: last ten minutes, he writes. In Portland, it happens everywhere, 164 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: all the time. The obvious answer is that the city 165 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: doesn't stop them, just as the city does nothing to 166 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 2: clean up the vagrancy and open drug use. It is 167 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: a total surrender, as day by day people die in 168 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: the streets beneath the beautiful pine trees overlooking what should 169 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: be a wonderful city. The wealthy here just don't seem 170 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: to care much if people have needles sticking out of 171 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: their arms or be teep as assaulting journalists. That's the 172 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: part I don't get. And as we learned with San Francisco, 173 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: there is a limit apparently. But why for all those 174 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: years do people who you obviously are well to do 175 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: you live in one of the most expensive places in 176 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: the world, but you pretend that this isn't happening around 177 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: you because I guess you feel like you'd well again 178 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: be blaming the victim of that would make you right 179 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: wing or a conservative or something that if you said 180 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 2: it out loud, what is right in front of your 181 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: face every single day. 182 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: I just think it goes back to the Bart and 183 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Swain piece about how a lot of the justification for 184 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: left wing violence is right out of the mainstream left, 185 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: whereas the excuses for right wing political violence are like 186 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: wack of doodles who believe something no conservative does, and 187 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: the idea that well and these people are in such 188 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: media bubbles. As we've discussed many times, conservatives are surrounded 189 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: by progressives telling them their point of view. I can 190 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: tell you what their arguments are quite accurately and in detail. 191 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 2: They have no idea what our arguments are. So you 192 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: got the. 193 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: Self congratulatory ultra lefty people in Portland who have never 194 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: heard an alternative opinion, and they think Trump's an actual 195 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: fascist and Antifa is actually fighting against fascists, and not 196 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: that they're violent, alienated Marxist jackasses. 197 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: They just don't know. I was just thinking, do I do? 198 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: It seems like it's a human nature thing to a 199 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: certain extent, So like, are there realities that I ignore 200 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: because it would bump up against my political views? But 201 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: if you're walking out of your apartment in your expen 202 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: way too expensive apartment in Portland or San Francisco or 203 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: Seattle or La or wherever you are, and there's human 204 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: poop on the sidewalk, something that didn't used to be 205 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: a thing at all anywhere in the country. I mean, 206 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 2: it was just like it was unheard of, and now 207 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 2: it's regular, and you know they're there's what they used 208 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: to call San Francisco snow on the street from all 209 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: the windows shattered in cars overnight because stealing is rampant 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: and all your favorite stores have closed, and there's an 211 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: armed guard in front of the store you want to 212 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: go into, with a gun that unlocks the door and 213 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 2: lets you in. How do you just ignore that reality 214 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 2: as opposed to, you know, complain about it or want 215 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: to do something about it because it just doesn't fit 216 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: your worldview? Yeah, exactly. 217 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: People are more likely to believe something completely ridiculous than 218 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: admit that, you know, what, my precepts were wrong. 219 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: You know, I've been wrong all along about this stuff 220 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: That reminds me. I was in a store in Los 221 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: Angeles with a woman and there is a store where 222 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: they had it's a common thing. You put all the 223 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: most stealable stuff in a center section and then you 224 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: have one way you can walk into it. It's like 225 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: a little corridor, and then you have a guard there 226 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: so that anything that that's an easier way to locking 227 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: it up, you just put it all in one section. Anyway, 228 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: this person suggested to me, look at it's the stuff 229 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: that they need the most, like stuff to stay clean 230 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: and brush their teeth and everything like that that they're 231 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: keeping away from these people, Like that's your reaction to this. 232 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: And they believe that these camps full of transient drug 233 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: addicts are people who are just priced out. 234 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: Of the rental market, right, and hardworking people who need 235 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 2: toothpaste and mean right winger capitalist type people are specifically 236 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 2: hiding and putting a guard in front of deodorant and 237 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: toothpaste because you want these people to be stinky and 238 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 2: have bad. 239 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 1: Teeth, right, And if we can institute rent control, then 240 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: rents will drop your nuts. Yeah, it's a string of 241 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: inane opinions, but they're pretty mainstream. 242 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: Glad Fox sent a report to Portland to report on 243 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: something that has been true for a very very long time. 244 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: Send another reporter to San Francisco so you can see 245 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: that things turned around a lot with different policies. Any 246 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: comment on this text line four one five to nine 247 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: five kftc Armstrong truck from a viral video because Grand 248 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: Room was going happened. 249 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: A fifty six year old New York man was arrested 250 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: on grand larceny charges. They were trying to repoe his truck, 251 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 1: which he wasn't making payments on, and he leapt into 252 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: well first, he violently shoved down the tow truck driver 253 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: and then jumped into the tow truck and stole it 254 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: with his truck, his pickup truck not quite all the 255 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: way attached, leaving a wake of destruction and auto parts 256 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: in the street. 257 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 2: Evidently, that's a good plan. That's a good you're thinking 258 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: long term. That's a really good plan. I mean, because 259 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: it's likely to work out. Everything's gonna work out the 260 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 2: way you want. You're gonna drive off on the tow truck, then, 261 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: like keep your car and not get arrested for stealing. 262 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: Everything's gonna work out fine. Again, it's just playing a 263 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: good plan, and. 264 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: The bank will see the injustice of demanding that you 265 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: make payments. So their tone is twenty twenty Chevy Silverado. 266 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: The rear wheels were being attached to the tow truck's arm, 267 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: and he runs out, get the f out of here, 268 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: put the truck down. I'm warning you, mfor and he 269 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: shoves the driver down, threatening to punch him. FIM, nobody's 270 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: taking this truck from me, he says, as he pulls 271 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: away with the tow truck. 272 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 2: I knew somebody who did repost for cars, and he 273 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: said it's incredibly dangerous. I had to fight all the time. 274 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: That's nuts. You're gonna fight the person. Again, good long 275 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: term thinking. How you ended up in a financial situation 276 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: where you can't make your car payment With that kind 277 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: of brilliant long term thinking, I'll fight the guy and then, 278 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: like Joe said, and the bank will decide, you know what, 279 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 2: we are treating him unfairly expecting him to make these payments. 280 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: He's really committed downing that truck. 281 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: Why he beat a man down and smashed up fifteen 282 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: other vehicles. 283 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 2: We should let him keep his truck. 284 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, so anyway, court records show that mister Leosa had 285 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: said his name fifty six year old Russell Leosa. 286 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: This guy's fifty six and he's pulling this stuff. Yeah, 287 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: you're a little old for that kind of decision. Let's 288 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: see where was it? 289 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: Ah. Court records show that Leos has been involved in 290 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: a variety of legal actions bankruptcy, for closure, unpaid bills, 291 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: motor vehicle torts, and he also has a couple of 292 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: prior arrests. 293 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: According to New York City Police. He was sued in. 294 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty for posting false and privileged in defamatory statements 295 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: on Facebook accusing a neighborhood man of being a pedophile 296 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: and predator. Because the guy was having an affair with 297 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: Leos's estranged wife. 298 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: Hmm okay, yeah, the thun plickens. 299 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But oddly enough, he blamed the planiff for 300 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: the breakup of his marriage and oddly claimed that as 301 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: a former lawman, the other man quote understood that sexual 302 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: intercourse with another man's wife is a crime and punishable 303 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: with imprisonment. 304 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: Okay, I ever tell the story about the disc jockey 305 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: I worked with who got his car repossessed. We were 306 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: all watching out the window while it happened. That was 307 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: so inert whatever happened to him. His name was the Orphan. 308 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: Nobody ever knew what his real name was. And then 309 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: as his past became sketchier and people realized it wasn't 310 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: just he had a DJ name, he had an alias. 311 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: He was trying to hide his name. But we were 312 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: all he got his car repossessed. We're all standing in 313 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: the radio station looking out the window, and the thing 314 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: shows up bothed away. His girlfriend he showed up with 315 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: when he came to town disappeared with another dude. She 316 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: was wearing a fur coat. I don't know what was 317 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: going on with the Orphan. A very complicated story. 318 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: Well, and You've said this a million times. This guy 319 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: is who he is because he's made so many bad decisions. 320 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: He's not unfortunate. He's an idiot. Yeah. Man, there's some 321 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: pretty big news around Epstein and Ukraine, so stay tuned. 322 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Geeddy. 323 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 4: Maxwell House Coffee is changing its name for the first 324 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: time in more than one hundred and thirty years, the 325 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 4: coffee giant temporarily rebranding as Maxwell Apartment. The company says 326 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 4: it's making the switch to reflect the number of Americans 327 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 4: now renting instead of buying homes, and they say to 328 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 4: remind consumers that the coffee is affordable. 329 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: That sounds like he got pranked. That can't be real, right, 330 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 2: I think they were trying to remind Americans that the 331 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: coffee exist. When was the last time you heard of 332 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 2: Maxwell House reference? I find that artably. I also don't 333 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: believe the landlines are coming backstory. Maybe we should talk 334 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: about that later. I don't believe it's actually happening. But 335 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: two things that are happening that are super interesting. First, 336 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: this is from the Wall Street Journal. An exclusive from 337 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. The United States is going to 338 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: provide Ukraine with intelligence for long rain missile strikes on 339 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: Russia's energy infrastructure. This is the first time that Biden 340 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: or Trump has said, yeah, We're going to help you 341 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: shoot deep into Russia and try to take out their 342 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: energy infrastructure. This is a pretty big deal. That's according 343 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: to American officials and the Trump administration, who is weighing 344 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: right now sending Kiev even more powerful weapons that could 345 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: put in range more targets within Russia. Trump recently signed 346 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: off and allowing intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to aid 347 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: Kiev with the strikes. US officials are asking the NATO 348 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: allies to provide similar support. The expanded intelligence sharing with 349 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 2: Kiev is the latest sign that Trump is deepening support 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: for Ukraine as the peace talks have clearly stalled. It's 351 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: the first time that Trump will aid Ukrainian strikes with 352 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 2: the long range missiles against energy targets deep inside Russia. 353 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 2: This is I'm not worried about World War three starting 354 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 2: out of this or anything like that, but I mean, 355 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: this is getting closer to a full on NATO US 356 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 2: versus Russia sort of situation. Definitely. Yeah. 357 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: I came across super interesting piece talking about how NATO 358 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: abandoned what they called active defense and you know, maybe 359 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: someday we can get into it, but in favor of 360 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: a much more robust counter attack strategy. Specifically, and here's 361 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: why I bring it up. You've got to be able 362 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: to attack your enemy's supply lines. You can't just fight 363 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: them at the front and wait for help to come 364 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: and good things to happen. You have to attack their 365 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: supply lines and their supply depots and their energy infrastructure. 366 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: That's how you weaken the front line. 367 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: And so Ukraine's been wanting to do that for a 368 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: very long time, but they've been held back. 369 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: So now they're going. 370 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: To be able to do what is obvious in terms 371 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: of successful warfare. 372 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: So Russia had the biggest call up draft conscripting soldiers 373 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: that they've had since twenty sixteen, and NATO and the 374 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: United State Ukraine are going to go after their energy infrastructure. 375 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: This work, you get a lot more hot, really fast, well. 376 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: And hot in a lot of different ways. Because the 377 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: Russian economy is really struggling. They have serious problems right now. 378 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: Their main source of income is oil exports, and they've 379 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: banned any more oil experts exports through the rest of 380 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: the year because they need it domestically. And then the callup. 381 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: Do you remember how many guys got called up as 382 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: a huge number of humans? I can't remember, but that's 383 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: not gonna sit well. I mean, how many call ups 384 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: have they had and emptying out the prisons and giving 385 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: giant bonuses and like dragon North Koreans into the fray 386 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: and now they've gone back to the well again. 387 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: Wow, are losing seven thousand guys a week killed and wounded? 388 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that's just a stunning number. Anyway, that's that situation. 389 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: This is more fun or weird. This is from the 390 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: New York Post, but it's actually happened New York Posts. 391 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: Miranda Divine, who we've had on the air before, good reporter. 392 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was on her podcast yesterday and, 393 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: in a notable break with the Department of Justice, claimed 394 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was the greatest blackmailer ever. He 395 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 2: knew him. Howard Lutnick, current Commerce Secretary, knew Epstein and 396 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: said Epstein was the greatest black mailer ever and probably 397 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 2: traded the Fed's video of rich and well connected associates 398 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: getting massages from young women in exchange for his two 399 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 2: thousand and eight plea deal down there in Florida where 400 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: he got off that plea deal that nobody's ever been 401 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: able to understand, where he was dead to rights, guilty 402 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 2: of all kinds of different things, and he got a 403 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 2: really sweetheart deal and was back out in the public, 404 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: continuing to do his thing. So a current secretary in 405 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 2: Trump's cabinet thinks that Epstein had videos that he used 406 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: to blackmail people to get out of that. I go 407 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: on what made the shocking allegations? Yesterday on a pod 408 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: Force one, a podcast that comes out today.

Nobody was talking about Emstein again. That's 458 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: a heck of a thing for him to say out 459 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: loud as a current part of the Trump administration. Yeah, 460 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 2: it's amazing. 461 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: And Miranda Devine is she speaks with a tongue dipped 462 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: in sarcasm, but she's very accurate and serious. 463 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 2: Well, let me throw you this question. Do you think 464 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: I'll use a particular Do you think Bill Gates got 465 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 2: happy ending massages at massages at Epstein's place, and and 466 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: then then Epstein's strong armed him and he actually like 467 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: gave him money. 468 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: I have no idea. Obviously, it's not inconceivable. Wow, if 469 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: it was a blackmail ring, a blackmail racket, if that's 470 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: what he if that was his method, I could see 471 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: that working at least for a while. 472 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: Well, he was ungodly wealthy, and nobody can quite figure 473 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: out how he got that wealthy. M right. 474 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: Although you know, maybe it's just me, and maybe this 475 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: is big talk, but I've always thought if anybody tried 476 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: to blackmail me, I would go to whatever party would 477 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: be offended, my wife or my employer or whatever, and say, hey, 478 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: here's what's happening. I'm going to the cops. Yes, I 479 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: did get a happy ending in a massage. I'm not 480 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: proud of it, and I'm sure you're angry with me, 481 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna let a blackmail or blackmail me. 482 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: So I'm going to the cops the David Letterman routine. 483 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: That's what he did. 484 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I've done so many stupid things in 485 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: my life, I'm fairly comfortable admitting to it. 486 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: Well, I think the thing that you're just recognizing that 487 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 2: David Letterman recognized. If you don't know that story, he 488 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: was having an affair and then the person threatened to 489 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 2: come forward with it, wanted money, was it whatever they 490 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 2: wanted and. 491 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: He just a weird drinkle involving a screenplay. But it 492 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. 493 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 2: He just went on the air that night and said, look, 494 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: I was having an affair and they're trying to extort me, 495 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: and so I'm just letting you know right now. And 496 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,239 Speaker 2: he's talked about it a lot since. Obviously he made 497 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: his marriage very very difficult. They're still together, they had 498 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 2: a kid. I'm glad they survived it. But he just thought, well, 499 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 2: this will never end if I go down that road, 500 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 2: which usually is the case. That's one of the reasons 501 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: I would think that, know, these rich, powerful people weren't 502 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: doing that, But you know, maybe Epstein just kept them 503 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: on a string, strung them along, kept money coming in 504 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: on a regular basis. 505 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the source of my skepticism. At no point 506 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: did somebody think I'm well known for getting erotic massages 507 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: or you know, or escorts or whatever, or dating models. 508 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Nobody gives a crap if I got a handy, I'm 509 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 1: calling them on this. 510 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: I know never happened. I know somebody personally who paid 511 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: an extorter. Wow. Wow, I probably shouldn't even tell the story, 512 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 2: but something had happened. They were in the wrong, and 513 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 2: this person said, I won't go to the cops if 514 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 2: if you give me I forget how much. It was 515 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: like ten thousand dollars, and they did, and my hold on, 516 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna teach uh oh, I got the COVID nine A. Anyway, 517 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 2: they gave him the ten thousand dollars, and my advice 518 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: to them was, look, they're just gonna call you up 519 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: in a week and say I need two thousand more 520 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: or I'm going to the cops. It'll never end. But 521 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: I was wrong in this case. They never came back 522 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: to him, and that was jeez, twenty years ago. Hmm, 523 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: But you happy ending. Usually that's what happens, though, isn't 524 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: it often? Often? 525 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that much about extortion, but yeah, that's 526 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: one of the risks of going along with it. 527 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 2: There's nothing stopping them from touching you up again on 528 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 2: which the payment plan like a subscription. You forget you 529 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: have it. I'll bet Epstein had a bunch of powerful 530 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: people and he had it was probably charities. You know, 531 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: I've got these nonprofits. I'd like you to donate this 532 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: much per month forever to my nonprofit. That sort of thing. 533 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not impossible. Seems like a bit of a stretch. 534 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: They got the massage room right in the middle of 535 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: the house. See that's prejudicial number one. You never get massages, 536 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: so it seems odd to you. If I had room 537 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: to have like a physical therapy room in my house 538 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: that included massage and stuff, and I didn't have to 539 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: go somewhere, I would do that in a minute. 540 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 2: Would you have cameras there so you could record your friends? 541 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: Of course I would No, of course not. Would you 542 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: sidle up to someone in the middle of my house? 543 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: What if it was at the edge of my house. 544 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: You keep using that phrase like it's an indictment. Don't 545 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: be a bsir? 546 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: Would me? I didn't. It wasn't me taking a tour 547 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 2: of Epstein's house. Now you've repeated it more than once. 548 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: Lutnig's words, I mean the middle of his house. The 549 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: Geographic Center. It was amazing. It was nowhere near the 550 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 2: outer wall. Would you sidle up next to somebody you 551 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 2: don't know who just moved in next door to you, 552 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 2: and would you say, yeah, the right kind of massages. 553 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: Well, I wouldn't sidle up to anybody and say that 554 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. 555 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, that's weird damn behavior. You just move into 556 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 2: a neighborhood. I have a massage table right in the 557 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 2: middle of your house. I've never seen that before. Yeah, 558 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 2: the right kind of massages? What hell? Okay, welcome to 559 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: the neighborhood.

That's like the other side of the blackmail coin. 569 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: That's the interesting part of those laws. 570 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 2: To me. 571 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: If I go to you like preemptively and say, look, 572 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: I saw you saw me with the underage messus and 573 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: all I tell you what, here's fifty K I need 574 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: you to sign this form. 575 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: That's like reverse blackmail, but that's completely illegal.

These days radical Islam versus Western civilization. 590 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: People act like nine to eleven was a bit of 591 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: a blip, but now it's gone, ignoring the tens of 592 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: thousands of Christians being killed in Africa, for instance. So 593 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: German authorities arrested three men on Wednesday. They believe we're 594 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: affiliated with Hamas and suspected of planning attacks targeting Israelian 595 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: Jewish institutions. According to German prosecutors, the suspects, two German 596 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: nationals and one Lebanese born individual, were arrested in Berlin. 597 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: They had all sorts of weapons and explosives. Separately, Munich's 598 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: Octoberfest was temporarily closed for several hours on Wednesday after 599 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 1: an unrelated bomb threat linked to a domestic dispute. They 600 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: thought at first, and then this terrible story out of 601 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: Britain that oh, I thought she sent that to the 602 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: whole group, Hanson. There was an attack in Britain on 603 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: Jewish folks timed to the big Jewish holiday that killed 604 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: a couple and wounded several more by Islamists. 605 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 2: Today in the last twenty four hours.

I guess 608 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 2: the woman who was a committed suicide bomber and disappointed 609 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 2: that she was not successful after she was jail and 610 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 2: treated for medical reasons by the Israelis and everything like that, 611 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 2: she didn't change her mind because she was a committed 612 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 2: Jews must die. I'm going to go to Paradise if 613 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 2: I kill them and die in the cause sort of person. 614 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 2: And I guess that's what these jihadists are. They believe, 615 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 2: they actually believe it. They're going to go to paradise, 616 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: and Jews are evil, so it's a good expenditure of 617 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: your life to take out Jews. Yeah, and gosh, there 618 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 2: was a which is nuts. It's absolutely completely freaking nuts. 619 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: There is a big event going on. 620 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: Is it now or just happen, I'm not sure, but 621 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: it's this big American Arab Discrimination Committee is the organization 622 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: holds Arab Khan in a dearborn, Michigan a town. It's 623 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: a majority Muslim town, dubbed America's Jihad capital by some 624 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: because so many of its city and religious leaders have 625 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: sided with Hamas against the US and IS. And three 626 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: rising stars in democratic politics, Michigan Senate candidate and former 627 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: CNN contributor Abdul l sa ed, A representative ro Kana, California, 628 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: and Michigan Lieutenant Governor Garland Gilchrist are all listed as speakers. 629 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 1: Even though this organization that puts it on and civilly, 630 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 1: the other speakers are absolutely undisguised supporters of Hamas and 631 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: radical Islam. 632 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: Now, I wonder if it's just Dearborn proper. The Dearborn 633 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 2: metro area is four million people. Well that includes Detroit, 634 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,479 Speaker 2: but Dearborn itself just the suburb is Muslim majority. Yeah, 635 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 2: that's what the Free Beacon says, and they're generally pretty accurate. 636 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: But these Democrats know they need that vote or want 637 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: to win that vote, and so they are saying the 638 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: things those people want to hear. 639 00:34:55,960 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 2: And it brings us back to Hallibec's great book Submission. 640 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: Submission, Yeah, about the way radical Islam takes over Western 641 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: democracies bit by bits, slowly through elections and. 642 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 2: Pressure on politicians and submissiveness by people who watch it 643 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: happen right, not realizing how bad it's going to be. 644 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: If you miss a segment, get our podcast Armstrong and 645 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 2: Getty on demand.
