Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, thanks to all of
you for me well us right down our toll free
telephone number if you want to be a part of
the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean.
If you want to join us, we will preview our trip.
I've only I've been to every state in the country
except Alaska. This week will end that after this week,
(00:25):
god willing, I will be in Alaska for the Trump
Putin Summit, and that means I will have been at
least once to every state in the entire country, which
I'm very proud of. And the weird thing is is
I love Alaska. I'm obsessed with it's rugged individualism. I
love shows like Life Below Zero, and I love Deadliest
(00:46):
Catch when you know, these crabbers go out in the
Bearing Sea in the most unbelievable conditions and they go
out for King Crab. And we talked to Mike row
about this last week, so we will give you a
big pre view of all of that coming up in
the course of the program. Today, we have more of
the big jerry mandering fight. We have zoron Marxist Momdami
(01:09):
news that we're going to share with you as we're
coming on the air here, I'm not going to go
to it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
We have the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser reacting to President
Trump this morning, announcing that he will federalize DC police,
deployed National Guard troops, and an effort to fight crime.
The President will be as invokes section seven forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which would place
the city's Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. You know,
(01:39):
and I'm listening to the mayor, you would think that
this is a city that is free of crime and
one of the safest places, best places on earth. And
nothing is further from the truths. He's talking about how
great their pre k he's starting at three is and
and you know, we have the best, the best, the
best everything, and and this is, you know, we're we
(02:00):
don't have representation, and she's turning this into we should
have DC statehood, et cetera, et cetera. Let me just
start with the reality. If you look at capital cities
around the world and their homicide rate per one hundred thousand,
by far and away, DC has the highest rate, and
(02:23):
countries that you would not expect are far lower than
what's going on in DC. The homicide rate per one
hundred thousand people in DC is forty one. The next
highest is Uruguay sixteen point one percent per hundred thousand.
The next highest is Baghdad in Iraq fifteen point two
(02:46):
per one hundred thousand. Remember DC forty one. The next
one is Nigeria fifteen, Panama City, Panama fourteen point three,
Brazil thirteen, Costa Rica thirteen, Bogata, columbs be eleven, Olivia
ten point seven, Mexico City, Mexico eight compared to DC's
(03:08):
forty one. Lima Peru seven, Ethiopia six, Buenos Aires, Argentina
five point five, Estonia five point five, Kenya Nairobi five, Havana,
Cuba four per one hundred thousand. The murder rate Dan
Salvador El Salvador one point nine is stumbled Turkey one
(03:30):
point eight. So the president is looking at these numbers
and he's saying, you know what, this has got a stop.
And the President pointed out he called it Liberation Day
in DC and says we're going to take our capital back.
He then criticized the crime in DC. Compared the crime
statistics to other cities around the world. Other capital cities
(03:50):
around the world, and then he pointed to the attack
on this guy from Doze better known as online is
big Balls, and this was a guy that was trying
to help out a woman that was being brutally beaten,
and an attempt at carjacking and an attempted killing of
a congressional intern in DC in a shooting that took place,
(04:12):
among other incidents. And the President also said he's gonna
get rid of the poverty and the slums in DC.
He said at his press conference he wants to change
the statute on bail in DC. I mean, this is
another one of these deep fundismantle no bail law, reimagine
the police, insanity cities. And he said the radical left
city Council adopted their no cash bail and every place
(04:35):
in the country you have no cash bail. Where you
have it, it's a disaster. And he's not wrong. And
he said, somebody murders somebody and they're out on no
cash bail before the day is out. We're going to
end that in Chicago, he continued, We're gonna end We're
gonna put We're going to change the statute. I spoke
with Pam Bondi and Todd blanche I talked to everybody.
(04:56):
We will change the statute, and I'm gonna have to
get Republicans to vote because Democrats are weak on crime,
and they are weak on crime, and the reaction is
very predictable, which I'll get to in a second. He
said that DC has become unsafe, dirty and disgusting. It's
covered in graffiti. I don't know when's the last time
he's been to New York City, but we're talking about
(05:17):
beautification of DC. And you know, people come from all
over the country, Iowa, Indiana, they come, they get mugged,
not going to happen. Keep coming, and by the time
you get your trip set, it's going to be safe again.
And he's gonna he's gonna put en up police presence. Now, oh,
he's declaring martial law. The left is going crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
How many more people have to be mugged, how many
more people have to be raped? How many more people
have to be killed? And why don't Democrats care about it?
That's what I'd like to know, the President said. I
was told I heard a number of what thirty five
hundred police? He said, they're inadequately staffed is thirty five hundred,
he said, And I thought, you're only going to say
(06:00):
thirty policemen, men and women. You have thirty five hundred.
But he said, we need more. We need a lot more.
And he said the administration is going to be removing
homeless encampments in DC. I mean, you have homicide, sexual abuse,
assault with a dangerous weapon five hundred and thirty four
incidents as of this morning, and eight hundred and ninety
(06:21):
eight robberies as of this morning. Ninety nine homicides has
of this morning, and one that total violent crime one thousand,
five hundred and eighty six as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And these numbers are out of control. Property crime fourteen thousand,
ninety three, you know, theft, auto theft three thousand, seven
hundred and twenty, other thefts sevenenty twenty three. It's insane.
And you know what, I think the country's capable of
doing better. My answer, you know, and then you have
(06:54):
predictable people like Al Sharpton was a big opponent of
Rudy Giuliani and stopping frisk. They went from three thousand,
close to three thousand murders a year down to about
three hundred because police number one. They got the police.
The number of police levels up higher. As of today,
there are about eleven thousand short of where they need
(07:17):
to be, which is around forty one thousand officers, you know,
to cover the you know, ten twelve million people. However,
many people live in New York City, and you know,
Al Sharpton fought Rudy Giuliani every step of the way,
but lives were saved, and a lot of lives were
saved in predominantly minority neighborhoods. And you would think that
that would be a goal of everybody, that that's not
(07:39):
something anybody should disagree with. And they use crime statistics
as a means of where they were going to concentrate
a more heavy police presence. Well, I guess we shouldn't
be too surprised. Wherever now is you know, actually objecting
to Trump's crackdown on rampant crime.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Well, what's his answer? How is it?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
All these blue cities, blue states, they seem to care
the most about people, and their silence is deafening.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
New York Times and the Washington Post report the Trump
administration will put one hundred and twenty FBI agents from
their regular duty and deploy them on night patrol with
law enforcement officers in DC. Now, if you have that
much crime going on in your city, you would think
you'd welcome that with open arms.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But apparently not.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Remember one of the things that they had an opportunity
before January sixth, knowing so many people were coming to Washington,
d C. It was Donald Trump as backed up by
then acting Defense Secretary Miller, backed up by his chief
of staff Cash Bettel, backed up by Mark Meadows, backed
up by General Millie, and Trump himself. They had tried
(08:52):
to call up the National Guard, knowing so many people
were coming. No, they didn't want it. A mural bowser
put a stop to it. Even Nancy Pelosi in her
own words admitted, Oh yeah, this is my fault.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You see the picture of this doose guy, big balls
and the crap that he got beaten out of. You know,
why do we accept all of this homelessness? You know,
this goes back to what I have said about where
Nancy Pelosi lives in San Francisco, one mile from her
home in a really wealthy gated community with multi multi
(09:26):
million dollar mansions on one side and on the other
side of this is an encampment where people are shooting
up in the street, defecating in the street, urinating in
the street. And I'm like, well, why don't you get
together with you a millionaire friends, everybody pitch you in
one hundred grand or whatever it takes. You build a
homeless shelter, You feed them two meals a day, You
(09:47):
give people a place to shower, and maybe you hire
a couple of mental health experts to help out people
with drug addiction or mental health issues that they might have,
and actually do something. Because liberals are only terest with
other people's money. It was an article I read today
Hoover Institute. Despite California spending a whopping twenty four billion
(10:09):
dollars on homelessness since twenty nineteen, homelessness increased by about
thirty thousand. How do you get it so wrong spending
that amount of money? Just like the train to nowhere? Anyway,
So the President announced the federal takeover of the DC
Police Department. I guarantee you the police department is probably
(10:31):
going to be happy. And if you get rid of
deep thund dismantled no ball laws, they'll even be happier.
So the president tackling what is a problem?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
What is the alternative to this? To continue to let
things spiral out of control? Homes get robbed, people get robbed,
people get carjacked, people die, people get murdered, people get raped.
At what point do you say, maybe it's a good
idea to have more of a law enforcement presence for
the safety and security of the law abiding people that
(11:00):
live in our towns and cities. You know, when is
America going to come to grips with the fact that
police officers buy and large. There are exceptions, by and large,
the ninety nine percent of them are there to put
their lives on the line to keep you and your
family safe and secure. There are a few bad apples,
definitely few bad apples everywhere, but you got to root
(11:22):
them out also. Anyway, he declared his intention to relocate
DC's homeless population far from the US capital. I mean,
they have all of this money. Where are generous liberals?
I thought they cared so much about other people? But
you see, the left is only generous with your money
if they cared so much about homelessness. One mile from
(11:45):
Nancy Pelosi's house, we sent our cameras there. We have
the videotape people shooting up drugs, defecating in public because
there's no place to go.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She lives with millionaires.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The President talked about looking into her stock investments, apparently
one of the most successful stock investors in the entire country.
Will give you a preview of this Trump putin summit.
I don't really know how we're going to define winning.
(12:21):
I do know this, I do hope the president is successful. Now,
if you look at the president's track record, President's actually
been pretty successful of bringing peace to the world, and he's.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He really has.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
He really has gone a long way in helping to
bring peace around the world. I mean, when India and
Pakistan and their tensions were flaring up, he got involved
and he was able to put a quick end to that.
Twelve days with Israel and Iran, he was able to
put a quick end to that and knockout Iran's nuclear facilities.
Rwanda and the Congo, he was able to put an
end to that conflict. Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Camp and on Friday,
(13:02):
Armenian and Azerbaijan, and don't forget Egypt and Ethiopia. That
was the number seven. I mean, that's a lot thought
that he's had. Now, I do think a lot of
things have happened that have created an environment, not the
least of which is the trade deal that the President
struck with Western European allies and nearly a trillion dollars
(13:26):
in energy commitments that they're going to buy their energy
from the US instead of buying it from Plutin in Russia,
which has only been funding his war machine. Secondly, the
President putting the fifty percent tariff on India if they're
going to continue to purchase cheap energy from Vladimir Putin,
you know, as soon as you start hitting Putin in
(13:47):
a pocketbook, that then reduces his capability in terms of
being able to fund his war machine. And that's exactly
what this is going to work with Iran too. I mean,
Iran was on the verge of bank until Joe Biden
became president. Anyway, we'll give you a preview of all that.
We also have nuking Rich Lindsay Graham on all of this,
and it's in keeping with the presidents, with President Trump's doctrine,
(14:11):
which is no forever worse I twenty five now to
the top of the hour. Glad you're with us, Happy Monday.
It really isn't any such thing as a happy Monday.
But anyway, glad you're with us. What if you could
delay your next mortgage payment, would that be a good
thing for you? Maybe your next two mortgage payments? Jamie Diamond,
(14:31):
JP Morgan Chase said he thinks that we're gonna have
four cuts as early as this year. Maybe Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Will wake up.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't know, I don't I don't have a crystal ball.
I hope he's right, But imagine you can put those
two payments in your pocket and get a little breathing room.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
By the way, it's Linda's birthday today. She's off. I
can't believe it. She's only twenty eight years old. And
that what she told, Oh, she said twenty one. I
think today. That's pretty funny enough.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're happy thought you talking about her age?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well, she said she's twenty one. I'm just taking her
out of a word. I'm sure she wouldn't lie about
something like that. And Meanwhile, he's got kids older than
she is, just saying, I'm just I'm just pointing that out. Uh,
vagrant drug addicts are now having sidewalk sex on the
streets of New York. I rather, it's in the New
York Post today. I get the part edition. Even in
(16:39):
the free state of Florida, the New York Post every day,
and they have their taxpayer funded safe injection site has
now reached the depraved low. So the New York Post
sent out reporters and you have attics so zonked out.
They got this new drug that's zonking people out even
more than pentanhol, if you can believe it. And they
(17:02):
discovered people right in front of other right and broad daylight,
or routinely having sex outside at the doorstep of neighbors.
And neighbors are afraid because they don't want to deal
with people whacked out on drugs, and so they have
to endure the X rated free for all. Anyway, the
Post witnessed this madness first hand near on Points East
(17:23):
Harlem headquarters on a recent Wednesday afternoon. As this pair
were I'll use their words, code joined for fifteen long
minutes and kept going even as pedestrians awkwardly walked past.
The guy was just doing his thing, looking around, wasn't
afraid of anything. I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't
(17:43):
believe it, said one eyewitnessed that find it revolting who
has not to be identified. Can't really blame them for
not wanting to be identified. The guy finished, and he
just starts zipping his pants and walking away, and the
woman was still bent over wondering what was going on.
And after he got maybe three yards away, she said, hey, hey, hey,
(18:03):
that's it, and he said come on, and then she
pulled up her pants and ran behind him. One neighbor says, quote,
it's disgusting. He lives across the street from where this
scene took place. Government backshooting galleries down the block addicts
give and clean needles of the paraphernalia to snort, smoke,
and ject their drug of choice. It opened in twenty
(18:25):
twenty one, along with the second location in New York
and Washington Heights and Anyway. The nonprofit Unpoint on Point
has hauled in a total sixteen point four million dollars
in taxpayer funds from New York City's Department of Health,
more than half coming from New York share of the
(18:46):
opioid settlement funds from the company that developed OxyContin, whose
company was found guilty of criminally misbranding the drug, contributing
to the opioid crisis.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't know if you followed that story. That was
a pretty wild story. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
New York City also shut down their last illegal immigrant hotel.
They shelled out a whopping one hundred and seventy million
dollars to these crime bridden shelters for illegals.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The illegal.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Biden Harris mayorcus illegal that was unvetted that killed Rachel
Moore and the mother of five, sentence to life without parole.
I wish we had the death penalty. This is the
Maryland case. More than sixteen hundred illegal immigrants arrested on
in Long Island.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
New York.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I grew up in Long Island, including many MS thirteen
gang members, murderers, and international fugitives. That's in Long Island.
Bruce Blakeman is doing a really good job. He's the
Nassau County executive out there. He struck a deal in
February that set aside fifty county jail cells for illegal
immigrant detainees. So far a funneled more than fourteen hundred
(20:02):
of them, picked up all over New York City and
through gone through the facility. Now it's just like you know,
if you listen to the conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow, they're
either internment camps or concentration camps, and you get one
Nazi analogy after another. It's insane. Anyway, we'll get back
to that in a second. But we had a lot
(20:23):
of other news, all right, So let me give you
a preview of what I think is going to unfold
this week. Now, let me start out by saying, and
I think this is critical, is that the war between
Russia and Ukraine. This is entirely a war that started
on Joe Biden's watch. If you remember when Putin was
(20:45):
amassing troops along the Ukrainian border, if you remember it,
I'll show you a map on TV tonight, and the
map shows how much territory Russia has taken. It's not
as much as you think, but it's still a lot.
Now you can make the argument that, for example, the
don Bas region, and I'm putting aside Crimea that was
(21:08):
annexed in twenty fourteen. If we start arguing about twenty fourteen,
they're not going to get anywhere. But that happened under
Obama and Biden. But Putin is amassing military troops and military.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hardware along the.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All along the border with Ukraine, and Joe Biden never
picked up the phone and called Vladimir Putin and said
what are you doing? And there were people that were
warning it was so obvious what was going to happen,
is it not? It was pretty commonly known that Putin
had territorial ambitions as it relates to Ukraine, far beyond Crimea.
(21:46):
And that's where Donald Trump in his first term said,
not on my watch, not happening. You take get that
out of your head. And nothing happened in the Trump
first term anyway. So Joe Biden, you think you'd pick
up the phone and say Vladimir what are you doing?
I don't think he was cognitively capable of doing that.
And I don't think Putin would have cared anyway. And
(22:07):
long story short, you know Joe said two things just
before the invasion, what your what do you what words
do you have a Putin don't remember? Don't Kamala Harris repeated, don't.
Oh that really I'm sure put the fear of God
into Vladimir Putin. And the next thing he said, but
what if they invade, Well, it depends if it's a
(22:30):
minor incursion or not accountable.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If it invades, and it depends on what it does.
It's one thing if it's a minor incursion, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Then we end up having to fight about what to
do and not do, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So it's let's be very clear here.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
President Trump is trying to clean up Joe Biden's mess.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I mean he inherited all this. Now, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
The President Trump has spent a lot of political capital
around the world with great success. When Indian and Pakistan
had their flare up, he was able to put a
quick end to that. When Israel and a Ram were
going at it was that was a twelve day war.
It ended, and we also we got involved and took
out their nuclear sites, which we had to do. The
(23:17):
President tried to work out a peaceful deal with the RAND,
the malla's number one state sponsored terror weren't able to
do it. In keeping with the Trump doctrine. Yeah, you know,
some people interpret wrongly the Trump doctrine to mean isolationism.
It's not isolationism, as evidenced by his first term, because
the Isis Caliphate built out all during the Obama Biden
(23:39):
years and Donald Trump systematically, without much fanfare or credit,
wiped out the entire caliphate.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
He ended it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It took out Solamani on that tarmac and wiped out
the number one terrorist in the entire world. You know
that led all the terror efforts for the number one
state sponsor terror. He took out bag Daddy and associates.
He also dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
He's not an isolationist, and I agree with the Trump
(24:11):
doctrine completely, but he also believes in no forever wars,
which you can define is we can't go back to
the days of what went on in Iraq. Now, granted,
you know, modern military weaponry has become way more sophisticated.
Technology has advanced incredibly, and I keep arguing, if people
will listen to me, the future wars are not going
(24:32):
to be fought on a battlefield, to be fought in
air conditioned offices and people will be pressing buttons and
whatever intelligence you might need on the ground will be
on the ground, but very limited. Want you are not
going to see I don't think again in our lifetime
boots on the ground the way we once did. And
I think that things are changing rapidly, especially in light
(24:54):
of artificial intelligence. So now Trump inherited this. Now he's
trying you get involved. Let me play Trump from earlier today.
He was asked about this and he said, I'm not
gonna tell Putin, you're gonna I'm gonna tell Putin you
got to end this war. I mean, look at this weekend.
Innocent men, women and children are dying. And let me
(25:16):
also be clear, Putin is a murdering dictator, thug, and
if he had territorial claims that he felt were legitimate,
there were far better answers than doing what he's done
in Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Listen, Oh, I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin
and I'm gonna be telling him you gotta end this war.
You got to end it. And he wasn't gonna mess
with me. He was this war would have never happened.
You know, we had a discussion about it one time,
and we never had that discussion again. Would have never happened.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
All Right, So they're gonna meet in Alaska. We'll be
there broadcasting Thursday and Friday of this week. And then
he went on to say he's not gonna make the deal,
and he's gonna talk to Putin, Paul Zelinski, hauled European
Union leaders and anyway and try and make a deal.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm going to meet with him, We're going to see
what the parameters are, and then going to call up
President Zelinski and the European leaders right after the meeting. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell him what kind of a deal.
I'm not going to make a deal. It's not up
to me to make a deal. I think a deal
should be made for both. I think Russia has to
get back into building their country. It's a massive country.
(26:25):
I think they have eleven time zones. If you can
believe it, it's a massive it's by far from the
standpoint of land, it's by far the largest. They have
tremendous potential in Russia to do well. They're not doing well.
Their economy is not doing well right now because it's
been very well disturbed by This doesn't help when the
President of the United States tells their largest or second
(26:46):
largest oil buyer that we're putting a fifty percent tarif
on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was
a big blow. And then they said, gee, he wasn't
so tough. Nobody else would have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I haven't stopped there.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I mean, look, I was all set to do things
far bigger than that. But I got a call that
they'd like to meet, and I'm going to see what
they want to meet them.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'd like to see US cease fire.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I'd like to see the best deal that could be
made for both parties. You know, it takes two to tango, right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
All right, so the president, Look, what this evolved into
under Biden, to be very blunt, was a proxy war
between the US and Russia because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
they were providing for free, even though we have thirty
seven trillion in debt, all of the weaponry to Ukraine.
(27:40):
European Union as usual didn't step up and do their part.
It's their continent. They've got to be part of the solution. Also,
I think it's very smart of the President to involve them,
although I'm very disgusted with most of those leaders because
they now, like people like Emmanuel McCrone, want to recognize
hamas ignoring the fact that they're their own charter calls
(28:00):
for the destruction of Israel. But putting all that aside.
So what is winning going to look like?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I'd say going into this on Friday, there's probably a
twenty five percent chance that a Putin's going to be unreasonable,
that Donald Trump's going to get up and walk away
from the table. If you ever read the art of
the deal, never want to deal that much and be
willing to walk away up until the last second. I
don't think you'd have any problem saying yet like Reagan
(28:27):
did in reikievek and get up and walk away from
the table. I don't think you'd have any problem at all.
I don't think that's what he wants. I don't think
that's what anybody wants. But you know the thing what
brought Putin to the table, what got his attention, Well,
the tariff deal with the European Union where they're going
to spend nearly what a trillion dollars on American energy. Well,
(28:52):
that's money that Putin was using the fund his war machine.
The second thing is the second action that took place,
is the the fifty percent tariffs on India that played
a big part in bringing Putin to the table, and
now the president, unlike Biden Harris, yeah, he's I will
and I'll give credit to the Ukrainian people for fighting
(29:14):
valiantly after they were invaded. But at the end of
the day, we can't be fighting a proxy war. At
least Trump is now selling them the weaponry rather than
giving it to them. You know, I think what I
don't know, like an area like Donbas, which was like
the population was eighty percent Russian national I don't think
(29:35):
that's going back to Ukraine. If I had to guess
what's going to be part of a finalized deal. If
I'm Ukraine and if you look at the map, they
still have most of their country. If I'm Ukraine in
this deal, rather than risk being totally annihilated over time,
I would want more than anything else. I would want
(29:57):
security guarantees. I would want a strong, longer relationship with
the United States. I would want to rebuild the military
to really create a deterrence to prevent Russia from ever
doing this again and not having a third invasion. I won't,
you know, but you know, at least the President is
giving it a try where others I don't think are
capable of it anyway, eight hundred and nine four one.
(30:18):
Shawn is on number if you want to be a
part of the program. Man, we have so much other
stuff to get to the left going crazy on gerry mandering.
We got you know, Kami Momdanni, We got Marxist mum
Danni jd vance warning about Obamagate indictments that are coming.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That's so much news to get to. Also, new Kingrich
Lindsey Graham coming up.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, thanks to all of
you for me well us right down our toll free
telephone number if you want to be a part of
the program, it's eight hundred and ninety four one Sean.
If you want to join us, we will preview our trip.
I've only I've been to every state in the country
except Alaska. This week will end that after this week,
(00:25):
god willing, I will be in Alaska for the Trump
Putin Summit, and that means I will have been at
least once to every state in the entire country, which
I'm very proud of. And the weird thing is is
I love Alaska. I'm obsessed with it's rugged individualism. I
love shows like Life Below Zero, and I love Deadliest
(00:46):
Catch when you know, these crabbers go out in the
Bearing Sea in the most unbelievable conditions and they go
out for King Crab. And we talked to Mike row
about this last week, so we will give you a
big pre view of all of that coming up in
the course of the program. Today, we have more of
the big jerry mandering fight. We have zoron Marxist Momdami
(01:09):
news that we're going to share with you as we're
coming on the air here, I'm not going to go
to it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
We have the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser reacting to President
Trump this morning, announcing that he will federalize DC police,
deployed National Guard troops, and an effort to fight crime.
The President will be as invokes section seven forty of
the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which would place
the city's Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. You know,
(01:39):
and I'm listening to the mayor, you would think that
this is a city that is free of crime and
one of the safest places, best places on earth. And
nothing is further from the truths. He's talking about how
great their pre k he's starting at three is and
and you know, we have the best, the best, the
best everything, and and this is, you know, we're we
(02:00):
don't have representation, and she's turning this into we should
have DC statehood, et cetera, et cetera. Let me just
start with the reality. If you look at capital cities
around the world and their homicide rate per one hundred thousand,
by far and away, DC has the highest rate, and
(02:23):
countries that you would not expect are far lower than
what's going on in DC. The homicide rate per one
hundred thousand people in DC is forty one. The next
highest is Uruguay sixteen point one percent per hundred thousand.
The next highest is Baghdad in Iraq fifteen point two
(02:46):
per one hundred thousand. Remember DC forty one. The next
one is Nigeria fifteen, Panama City, Panama fourteen point three,
Brazil thirteen, Costa Rica thirteen, Bogata, columbs be eleven, Olivia
ten point seven, Mexico City, Mexico eight compared to DC's
(03:08):
forty one. Lima Peru seven, Ethiopia six, Buenos Aires, Argentina
five point five, Estonia five point five, Kenya Nairobi five, Havana,
Cuba four per one hundred thousand. The murder rate Dan
Salvador El Salvador one point nine is stumbled Turkey one
(03:30):
point eight. So the president is looking at these numbers
and he's saying, you know what, this has got a stop.
And the President pointed out he called it Liberation Day
in DC and says we're going to take our capital back.
He then criticized the crime in DC. Compared the crime
statistics to other cities around the world. Other capital cities
(03:50):
around the world, and then he pointed to the attack
on this guy from Doze better known as online is
big Balls, and this was a guy that was trying
to help out a woman that was being brutally beaten,
and an attempt at carjacking and an attempted killing of
a congressional intern in DC in a shooting that took place,
(04:12):
among other incidents. And the President also said he's gonna
get rid of the poverty and the slums in DC.
He said at his press conference he wants to change
the statute on bail in DC. I mean, this is
another one of these deep fundismantle no bail law, reimagine
the police, insanity cities. And he said the radical left
city Council adopted their no cash bail and every place
(04:35):
in the country you have no cash bail. Where you
have it, it's a disaster. And he's not wrong. And
he said, somebody murders somebody and they're out on no
cash bail before the day is out. We're going to
end that in Chicago, he continued, We're gonna end We're
gonna put We're going to change the statute. I spoke
with Pam Bondi and Todd blanche I talked to everybody.
(04:56):
We will change the statute, and I'm gonna have to
get Republicans to vote because Democrats are weak on crime,
and they are weak on crime, and the reaction is
very predictable, which I'll get to in a second. He
said that DC has become unsafe, dirty and disgusting. It's
covered in graffiti. I don't know when's the last time
he's been to New York City, but we're talking about
(05:17):
beautification of DC. And you know, people come from all
over the country, Iowa, Indiana, they come, they get mugged,
not going to happen. Keep coming, and by the time
you get your trip set, it's going to be safe again.
And he's gonna he's gonna put en up police presence. Now, oh,
he's declaring martial law. The left is going crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
No, he's not.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
How many more people have to be mugged, how many
more people have to be raped? How many more people
have to be killed? And why don't Democrats care about it?
That's what I'd like to know, the President said. I
was told I heard a number of what thirty five
hundred police? He said, they're inadequately staffed is thirty five hundred,
he said, And I thought, you're only going to say
(06:00):
thirty policemen, men and women. You have thirty five hundred.
But he said, we need more. We need a lot more.
And he said the administration is going to be removing
homeless encampments in DC. I mean, you have homicide, sexual abuse,
assault with a dangerous weapon five hundred and thirty four
incidents as of this morning, and eight hundred and ninety
(06:21):
eight robberies as of this morning. Ninety nine homicides has
of this morning, and one that total violent crime one thousand,
five hundred and eighty six as of this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And these numbers are out of control. Property crime fourteen thousand,
ninety three, you know, theft, auto theft three thousand, seven
hundred and twenty, other thefts sevenenty twenty three. It's insane.
And you know what, I think the country's capable of
doing better. My answer, you know, and then you have
(06:54):
predictable people like Al Sharpton was a big opponent of
Rudy Giuliani and stopping frisk. They went from three thousand,
close to three thousand murders a year down to about
three hundred because police number one. They got the police.
The number of police levels up higher. As of today,
there are about eleven thousand short of where they need
(07:17):
to be, which is around forty one thousand officers, you know,
to cover the you know, ten twelve million people. However,
many people live in New York City, and you know,
Al Sharpton fought Rudy Giuliani every step of the way,
but lives were saved, and a lot of lives were
saved in predominantly minority neighborhoods. And you would think that
that would be a goal of everybody, that that's not
(07:39):
something anybody should disagree with. And they use crime statistics
as a means of where they were going to concentrate
a more heavy police presence. Well, I guess we shouldn't
be too surprised. Wherever now is you know, actually objecting
to Trump's crackdown on rampant crime.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Well, what's his answer? How is it?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
All these blue cities, blue states, they seem to care
the most about people, and their silence is deafening.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
New York Times and the Washington Post report the Trump
administration will put one hundred and twenty FBI agents from
their regular duty and deploy them on night patrol with
law enforcement officers in DC. Now, if you have that
much crime going on in your city, you would think
you'd welcome that with open arms.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But apparently not.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Remember one of the things that they had an opportunity
before January sixth, knowing so many people were coming to Washington,
d C. It was Donald Trump as backed up by
then acting Defense Secretary Miller, backed up by his chief
of staff Cash Bettel, backed up by Mark Meadows, backed
up by General Millie, and Trump himself. They had tried
(08:52):
to call up the National Guard, knowing so many people
were coming. No, they didn't want it. A mural bowser
put a stop to it. Even Nancy Pelosi in her
own words admitted, Oh yeah, this is my fault.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You see the picture of this doose guy, big balls
and the crap that he got beaten out of. You know,
why do we accept all of this homelessness? You know,
this goes back to what I have said about where
Nancy Pelosi lives in San Francisco, one mile from her
home in a really wealthy gated community with multi multi
(09:26):
million dollar mansions on one side and on the other
side of this is an encampment where people are shooting
up in the street, defecating in the street, urinating in
the street. And I'm like, well, why don't you get
together with you a millionaire friends, everybody pitch you in
one hundred grand or whatever it takes. You build a
homeless shelter, You feed them two meals a day, You
(09:47):
give people a place to shower, and maybe you hire
a couple of mental health experts to help out people
with drug addiction or mental health issues that they might have,
and actually do something. Because liberals are only terest with
other people's money. It was an article I read today
Hoover Institute. Despite California spending a whopping twenty four billion
(10:09):
dollars on homelessness since twenty nineteen, homelessness increased by about
thirty thousand. How do you get it so wrong spending
that amount of money? Just like the train to nowhere? Anyway,
So the President announced the federal takeover of the DC
Police Department. I guarantee you the police department is probably
(10:31):
going to be happy. And if you get rid of
deep thund dismantled no ball laws, they'll even be happier.
So the president tackling what is a problem?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
What is the alternative to this? To continue to let
things spiral out of control? Homes get robbed, people get robbed,
people get carjacked, people die, people get murdered, people get raped.
At what point do you say, maybe it's a good
idea to have more of a law enforcement presence for
the safety and security of the law abiding people that
(11:00):
live in our towns and cities. You know, when is
America going to come to grips with the fact that
police officers buy and large. There are exceptions, by and large,
the ninety nine percent of them are there to put
their lives on the line to keep you and your
family safe and secure. There are a few bad apples,
definitely few bad apples everywhere, but you got to root
(11:22):
them out also. Anyway, he declared his intention to relocate
DC's homeless population far from the US capital. I mean,
they have all of this money. Where are generous liberals?
I thought they cared so much about other people? But
you see, the left is only generous with your money
if they cared so much about homelessness. One mile from
(11:45):
Nancy Pelosi's house, we sent our cameras there. We have
the videotape people shooting up drugs, defecating in public because
there's no place to go.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
She lives with millionaires.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
The President talked about looking into her stock investments, apparently
one of the most successful stock investors in the entire country.
Will give you a preview of this Trump putin summit.
I don't really know how we're going to define winning.
(12:21):
I do know this, I do hope the president is successful. Now,
if you look at the president's track record, President's actually
been pretty successful of bringing peace to the world, and he's.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He really has.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
He really has gone a long way in helping to
bring peace around the world. I mean, when India and
Pakistan and their tensions were flaring up, he got involved
and he was able to put a quick end to that.
Twelve days with Israel and Iran, he was able to
put a quick end to that and knockout Iran's nuclear facilities.
Rwanda and the Congo, he was able to put an
end to that conflict. Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Camp and on Friday,
(13:02):
Armenian and Azerbaijan, and don't forget Egypt and Ethiopia. That
was the number seven. I mean, that's a lot thought
that he's had. Now, I do think a lot of
things have happened that have created an environment, not the
least of which is the trade deal that the President
struck with Western European allies and nearly a trillion dollars
(13:26):
in energy commitments that they're going to buy their energy
from the US instead of buying it from Plutin in Russia,
which has only been funding his war machine. Secondly, the
President putting the fifty percent tariff on India if they're
going to continue to purchase cheap energy from Vladimir Putin,
you know, as soon as you start hitting Putin in
(13:47):
a pocketbook, that then reduces his capability in terms of
being able to fund his war machine. And that's exactly
what this is going to work with Iran too. I mean,
Iran was on the verge of bank until Joe Biden
became president. Anyway, we'll give you a preview of all that.
We also have nuking Rich Lindsay Graham on all of this,
and it's in keeping with the presidents, with President Trump's doctrine,
(14:11):
which is no forever worse I twenty five now to
the top of the hour. Glad you're with us, Happy Monday.
It really isn't any such thing as a happy Monday.
But anyway, glad you're with us. What if you could
delay your next mortgage payment, would that be a good
thing for you? Maybe your next two mortgage payments? Jamie Diamond,
(14:31):
JP Morgan Chase said he thinks that we're gonna have
four cuts as early as this year. Maybe Jerome Powell.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Will wake up.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I don't know, I don't I don't have a crystal ball.
I hope he's right, But imagine you can put those
two payments in your pocket and get a little breathing room.
It is possible thanks to our friends at American Financing
dot net. And look, if you're feeling stretched by everyday

Speaker 1 (16:02):
By the way, it's Linda's birthday today. She's off. I
can't believe it. She's only twenty eight years old. And
that what she told, Oh, she said twenty one. I
think today. That's pretty funny enough.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
You're happy thought you talking about her age?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well, she said she's twenty one. I'm just taking her
out of a word. I'm sure she wouldn't lie about
something like that. And Meanwhile, he's got kids older than
she is, just saying, I'm just I'm just pointing that out. Uh,
vagrant drug addicts are now having sidewalk sex on the
streets of New York. I rather, it's in the New
York Post today. I get the part edition. Even in
(16:39):
the free state of Florida, the New York Post every day,
and they have their taxpayer funded safe injection site has
now reached the depraved low. So the New York Post
sent out reporters and you have attics so zonked out.
They got this new drug that's zonking people out even
more than pentanhol, if you can believe it. And they
(17:02):
discovered people right in front of other right and broad daylight,
or routinely having sex outside at the doorstep of neighbors.
And neighbors are afraid because they don't want to deal
with people whacked out on drugs, and so they have
to endure the X rated free for all. Anyway, the
Post witnessed this madness first hand near on Points East
(17:23):
Harlem headquarters on a recent Wednesday afternoon. As this pair
were I'll use their words, code joined for fifteen long
minutes and kept going even as pedestrians awkwardly walked past.
The guy was just doing his thing, looking around, wasn't
afraid of anything. I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't
(17:43):
believe it, said one eyewitnessed that find it revolting who
has not to be identified. Can't really blame them for
not wanting to be identified. The guy finished, and he
just starts zipping his pants and walking away, and the
woman was still bent over wondering what was going on.
And after he got maybe three yards away, she said, hey, hey, hey,
(18:03):
that's it, and he said come on, and then she
pulled up her pants and ran behind him. One neighbor says, quote,
it's disgusting. He lives across the street from where this
scene took place. Government backshooting galleries down the block addicts
give and clean needles of the paraphernalia to snort, smoke,
and ject their drug of choice. It opened in twenty
(18:25):
twenty one, along with the second location in New York
and Washington Heights and Anyway. The nonprofit Unpoint on Point
has hauled in a total sixteen point four million dollars
in taxpayer funds from New York City's Department of Health,
more than half coming from New York share of the
(18:46):
opioid settlement funds from the company that developed OxyContin, whose
company was found guilty of criminally misbranding the drug, contributing
to the opioid crisis.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't know if you followed that story. That was
a pretty wild story. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
New York City also shut down their last illegal immigrant hotel.
They shelled out a whopping one hundred and seventy million
dollars to these crime bridden shelters for illegals.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
The illegal.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Biden Harris mayorcus illegal that was unvetted that killed Rachel
Moore and the mother of five, sentence to life without parole.
I wish we had the death penalty. This is the
Maryland case. More than sixteen hundred illegal immigrants arrested on
in Long Island.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
New York.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I grew up in Long Island, including many MS thirteen
gang members, murderers, and international fugitives. That's in Long Island.
Bruce Blakeman is doing a really good job. He's the
Nassau County executive out there. He struck a deal in
February that set aside fifty county jail cells for illegal
immigrant detainees. So far a funneled more than fourteen hundred
(20:02):
of them, picked up all over New York City and
through gone through the facility. Now it's just like you know,
if you listen to the conspiracy theorist Rachel Maddow, they're
either internment camps or concentration camps, and you get one
Nazi analogy after another. It's insane. Anyway, we'll get back
to that in a second. But we had a lot
(20:23):
of other news, all right, So let me give you
a preview of what I think is going to unfold
this week. Now, let me start out by saying, and
I think this is critical, is that the war between
Russia and Ukraine. This is entirely a war that started
on Joe Biden's watch. If you remember when Putin was
(20:45):
amassing troops along the Ukrainian border, if you remember it,
I'll show you a map on TV tonight, and the
map shows how much territory Russia has taken. It's not
as much as you think, but it's still a lot.
Now you can make the argument that, for example, the
don Bas region, and I'm putting aside Crimea that was
(21:08):
annexed in twenty fourteen. If we start arguing about twenty fourteen,
they're not going to get anywhere. But that happened under
Obama and Biden. But Putin is amassing military troops and military.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Hardware along the.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All along the border with Ukraine, and Joe Biden never
picked up the phone and called Vladimir Putin and said
what are you doing? And there were people that were
warning it was so obvious what was going to happen,
is it not? It was pretty commonly known that Putin
had territorial ambitions as it relates to Ukraine, far beyond Crimea.
(21:46):
And that's where Donald Trump in his first term said,
not on my watch, not happening. You take get that
out of your head. And nothing happened in the Trump
first term anyway. So Joe Biden, you think you'd pick
up the phone and say Vladimir what are you doing?
I don't think he was cognitively capable of doing that.
And I don't think Putin would have cared anyway. And
(22:07):
long story short, you know Joe said two things just
before the invasion, what your what do you what words
do you have a Putin don't remember? Don't Kamala Harris repeated, don't.
Oh that really I'm sure put the fear of God
into Vladimir Putin. And the next thing he said, but
what if they invade, Well, it depends if it's a
(22:30):
minor incursion or not accountable.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
If it invades, and it depends on what it does.
It's one thing if it's a minor incursion, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Then we end up having to fight about what to
do and not do, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So it's let's be very clear here.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
President Trump is trying to clean up Joe Biden's mess.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I mean he inherited all this. Now, it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
The President Trump has spent a lot of political capital
around the world with great success. When Indian and Pakistan
had their flare up, he was able to put a
quick end to that. When Israel and a Ram were
going at it was that was a twelve day war.
It ended, and we also we got involved and took
out their nuclear sites, which we had to do. The
(23:17):
President tried to work out a peaceful deal with the RAND,
the malla's number one state sponsored terror weren't able to
do it. In keeping with the Trump doctrine. Yeah, you know,
some people interpret wrongly the Trump doctrine to mean isolationism.
It's not isolationism, as evidenced by his first term, because
the Isis Caliphate built out all during the Obama Biden
(23:39):
years and Donald Trump systematically, without much fanfare or credit,
wiped out the entire caliphate.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
He ended it.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
It took out Solamani on that tarmac and wiped out
the number one terrorist in the entire world. You know
that led all the terror efforts for the number one
state sponsor terror. He took out bag Daddy and associates.
He also dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
He's not an isolationist, and I agree with the Trump
(24:11):
doctrine completely, but he also believes in no forever wars,
which you can define is we can't go back to
the days of what went on in Iraq. Now, granted,
you know, modern military weaponry has become way more sophisticated.
Technology has advanced incredibly, and I keep arguing, if people
will listen to me, the future wars are not going
(24:32):
to be fought on a battlefield, to be fought in
air conditioned offices and people will be pressing buttons and
whatever intelligence you might need on the ground will be
on the ground, but very limited. Want you are not
going to see I don't think again in our lifetime
boots on the ground the way we once did. And
I think that things are changing rapidly, especially in light
(24:54):
of artificial intelligence. So now Trump inherited this. Now he's
trying you get involved. Let me play Trump from earlier today.
He was asked about this and he said, I'm not
gonna tell Putin, you're gonna I'm gonna tell Putin you
got to end this war. I mean, look at this weekend.
Innocent men, women and children are dying. And let me
(25:16):
also be clear, Putin is a murdering dictator, thug, and
if he had territorial claims that he felt were legitimate,
there were far better answers than doing what he's done
in Ukraine.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Listen, Oh, I'm going in to speak to Vladimir Putin
and I'm gonna be telling him you gotta end this war.
You got to end it. And he wasn't gonna mess
with me. He was this war would have never happened.
You know, we had a discussion about it one time,
and we never had that discussion again. Would have never happened.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
All Right, So they're gonna meet in Alaska. We'll be
there broadcasting Thursday and Friday of this week. And then
he went on to say he's not gonna make the deal,
and he's gonna talk to Putin, Paul Zelinski, hauled European
Union leaders and anyway and try and make a deal.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm going to meet with him, We're going to see
what the parameters are, and then going to call up
President Zelinski and the European leaders right after the meeting. Yeah,
and I'm going to tell him what kind of a deal.
I'm not going to make a deal. It's not up
to me to make a deal. I think a deal
should be made for both. I think Russia has to
get back into building their country. It's a massive country.
(26:25):
I think they have eleven time zones. If you can
believe it, it's a massive it's by far from the
standpoint of land, it's by far the largest. They have
tremendous potential in Russia to do well. They're not doing well.
Their economy is not doing well right now because it's
been very well disturbed by This doesn't help when the
President of the United States tells their largest or second
(26:46):
largest oil buyer that we're putting a fifty percent tarif
on you if you buy oil from Russia. That was
a big blow. And then they said, gee, he wasn't
so tough. Nobody else would have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I haven't stopped there.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I mean, look, I was all set to do things
far bigger than that. But I got a call that
they'd like to meet, and I'm going to see what
they want to meet them.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'd like to see US cease fire.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I'd like to see the best deal that could be
made for both parties. You know, it takes two to tango, right.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
All right, so the president, Look, what this evolved into
under Biden, to be very blunt, was a proxy war
between the US and Russia because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
they were providing for free, even though we have thirty
seven trillion in debt, all of the weaponry to Ukraine.
(27:40):
European Union as usual didn't step up and do their part.
It's their continent. They've got to be part of the solution. Also,
I think it's very smart of the President to involve them,
although I'm very disgusted with most of those leaders because
they now, like people like Emmanuel McCrone, want to recognize
hamas ignoring the fact that they're their own charter calls
(28:00):
for the destruction of Israel. But putting all that aside.
So what is winning going to look like?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I'd say going into this on Friday, there's probably a
twenty five percent chance that a Putin's going to be unreasonable,
that Donald Trump's going to get up and walk away
from the table. If you ever read the art of
the deal, never want to deal that much and be
willing to walk away up until the last second. I
don't think you'd have any problem saying yet like Reagan
(28:27):
did in reikievek and get up and walk away from
the table. I don't think you'd have any problem at all.
I don't think that's what he wants. I don't think
that's what anybody wants. But you know the thing what
brought Putin to the table, what got his attention, Well,
the tariff deal with the European Union where they're going
to spend nearly what a trillion dollars on American energy. Well,
(28:52):
that's money that Putin was using the fund his war machine.
The second thing is the second action that took place,
is the the fifty percent tariffs on India that played
a big part in bringing Putin to the table, and
now the president, unlike Biden Harris, yeah, he's I will
and I'll give credit to the Ukrainian people for fighting
(29:14):
valiantly after they were invaded. But at the end of
the day, we can't be fighting a proxy war. At
least Trump is now selling them the weaponry rather than
giving it to them. You know, I think what I
don't know, like an area like Donbas, which was like
the population was eighty percent Russian national I don't think
(29:35):
that's going back to Ukraine. If I had to guess
what's going to be part of a finalized deal. If
I'm Ukraine and if you look at the map, they
still have most of their country. If I'm Ukraine in
this deal, rather than risk being totally annihilated over time,
I would want more than anything else. I would want
(29:57):
security guarantees. I would want a strong, longer relationship with
the United States. I would want to rebuild the military
to really create a deterrence to prevent Russia from ever
doing this again and not having a third invasion. I won't,
you know, but you know, at least the President is
giving it a try where others I don't think are
capable of it anyway, eight hundred and nine four one.
(30:18):
Shawn is on number if you want to be a
part of the program. Man, we have so much other
stuff to get to the left going crazy on gerry mandering.
We got you know, Kami Momdanni, We got Marxist mum
Danni jd vance warning about Obamagate indictments that are coming.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
That's so much news to get to. Also, new Kingrich
Lindsey Graham coming up.
