Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong
and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I think dialogue is very important, and I think it's
a very positive meeting for the world because during Biden administration,
no dialogue was happening. So I think it's very important
to hear Russian position directly, and there are lots of
misunderstandings misinformation about the Russian position. And it's also a
chance to sort of reset if the meeting goes well
US Russian relations.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
That's the Russian point of view. That is so obvious
what they're doing. We've been misunderstood. Very important dialogue, can't
wait to talk. We should be friends, We will be friends.
Be good to see you eat salmon together in Alaska. Okay,
all right, you're murderous thugs and you think it's basically
(01:08):
just a big stall or uh yeah, yeah. I think
they probably have two strategies in mind. Depending on how
things go, they'll pivot from one to the other. The
one is the big stall, as you've been describing, trot
out some very reasonable sounding possible agreements that are roughly
(01:29):
seventy five percent done, and we'll just take a little
while to hash out the last twenty five percent, they'll say,
and then they will stretch that interminably while they continue
to do what they've done. Second strategy, and they are
absolutely gonna try this is hit Trump with a package
of alluring baubles rewards for essentially giving up Ukraine to
(01:53):
Russian domination, disarm Ukraine, completely, assure it will never join NATO,
get rid of the Zelensky government, which they charmingly call denocification,
and in return, you know, we'll give you xyzab and
c and make you look like a big winner. Mister President. Well,
I don't think Trump would go for that, but my
(02:15):
theory on that after we hear a little bit. This
is ABC News is reporting on this.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to lay the groundwork, heaping
praise on President Trump. Putin saying, the current American administration
is making quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
stop the crisis, and reach agreements that are of interest
to all parties involved in this conflict. Putin saying Trump
wants to create long term conditions for peace, both between
(02:42):
our countries and in Europe and in the world. One
big question, will President Trump hold a joint press conference
here as eye by side with Vladimir Putin? The White
House Press secretary said that was the plan, but Trump
later saying though that would be nice. If the summit
doesn't end, well, you'll just have his own press conference
and head home.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And I feel like there's a zero chance of a
side by side press conference. I think Trump will do
one because he loves to come out and tell people
what happened. Yeah, I want to get this on. This
is Fox's reporting that's got some nuggets in it I
hadn't heard anywhere else. Let me just say this about
Putin that he famously does his three four hour press
conference once a year or whatever it is. But to
(03:22):
keep in mind, if you ask him a question he
doesn't like, you end up in the hut next to Navalny,
the late Navalny, in some concentration camp. So yeah, I
don't see him leaping at the chance to engage the
free media.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Putin appears to be angling for arms controls in a
video released by the Kremlin, wrapped in a compliment for Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The current American administration, which everyone knows is making, in
my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
putin dangling the prospect of long term peace.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Quote, if we reach agreements in the area of control
over strategic offensive weapons at the next day, One source
familiar with the talks says, that's new and Russia has
not previously voiced any request for strategic weapons reductions.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, so what does that hold if we can come
up with a deal on strategic offensive weapons? What is that? Yeah,
that's the sort of babble I was talking about a
mister Trump. Look, I know we're here to talk about Ukraine,
but how about a giant historic arms control agreement. I mean,
you'd be like one of the greatest peacemakers in the
(04:27):
history of the world. Why don't we all ratchet down
the number of nuclear arms and the threats and stuff
like that. And yeah, there's that little patch of ground
in Europe. I'm sure we could come to an agreement
on that. But this is history making stuff, sir. And
then who knows they're going to hit him with a
blizzard of that stuff. Well, yeah, and that other clip
where the Russian said and what we want is the
sort of peace that can be long lasting for all
(04:48):
of Europe. Europe was at peace for the last eighty
years until you invaded Ukraine repeatedly, Yes, Kathy Heinrich. Fox
goes on to say this meantime.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Reuter's reports ahead of the meeting, Putin's been preparing to
test Russia's new nuclear armed, nuclear powered cruise missile. Trump
told reporters today he hasn't considered reducing military presence in
Europe to get Russia to agree to a peace deal.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That hasn't been put before me. And I think about
that for later, but it has not been put before.
So Putin's floating testing a new nuclear weapon in the
midst of all this, right, what is that? And that
last little bit about And look, also, we'd love you
to reduce your presence in Europe US. Why don't you
(05:36):
just kind of disarm Europe a little bit? Because Putin?
You can't ever underestimate Putin. Putin knows Trump thinks Europe
has been lazy and useless his partners in NATO. He's
going to appeal to Trump's desire to get the Euros
to do it on their own. He's going to say, look,
(05:56):
they've been freeloading off you the whole time. You got
to reduce your forces in Europe, and yeah, does it
played war advantage? Oh, we have no designs on anything
except Ukraine, which is really part of Russia. Well, the
good news for people with like my mindset is that
Trump has been closer and more positive about his European
relationships in the last couple of weeks than he's ever been.
(06:17):
He's had multiple meetings and they've gone over. He says
he agreed to Europe's red lines, which were, you know,
not only not taking troops out of Europe, but Europe
putting troops in Ukraine and no land swaps. All kinds
of different things that Trump says he agreed to. I
(06:38):
hope he doesn't forget that stuff when he's alone in
a room with Putin buttering him up. So Hillary Clinton
was on a podcast this morning, and I haven't heard it.
I wanted to hear it because I don't. I don't
know if her ton of voice was sarcastic or not.
Maybe it was sarcastic, but she said if Trump can
get a piece deal that doesn't include a land swap,
she herself would nominate him for or the Nobel Peace Prize. Now,
(07:03):
is that just sarcasm like that can't happen, or is
she honestly saying that would be an amazing deal.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know her level of sarcasm, but I think
you've gotten to her point. Yeah, that that is a
trick so extraordinary, you know what, he pulls that off.
He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Might not have been snarky,
but it was a statement. What do you think psychologically
is Trump's it seems genuine hatred of war in general,
(07:36):
people dying in wars. Where do I think that comes from? Yeah,
it seems like more than even most people like he
just hates He just can't stand the idea of people
dying in warfare. Yeah, that's a really interesting question. I
wonder if part of it has to do with his
age and a little perspective seeing his grandchildren or whatever,
(08:01):
and realizing that, you know, all of the battles and
disagreements and you know, the storm and drong of life,
it really doesn't amount too much at the end. It's
just about living. And to snuff people out over territorial
disagreements strikes him as well, completely idiotic and wasteful. I
don't know. It is not of a piece with his
(08:23):
public image, right, in which he really tries to play
the hard ass and the I don't care the consequences,
you know type guy. I mean, he says it so
often and it seems to be genuine. The first of all,
the killing has got to stop. Too much killing, right, Yeah?
And I believe one sincere. Yeah, you know, the danger
(08:45):
there is that those who are willing to kill will
steamroll you, right if you're not willing to meet the
bully on the schoolyard. Yeah. And as illogical as it
is that human beings regularly go to slaughtering each other
and destroying each other's stuff, I mean, it's unproductive all
the way around. It is the history of humankind and
(09:08):
always will be. So there's got to be a certain
level of just accepting that's part of human nature, as
awful as it is. I just I hope, and the
greatest way to save lives that exists on earth is
to be clearly ready to slaughter the hell out of
the other guy, right, I don't know. I really hope
he goes in there with a strong mindset of ceasefire. Ceasefire, ceasefire,
(09:32):
and if you're if you're not talking about a ceasefire,
I'm not interested in talking to the problem with that
is you walk out of that meeting, and then where
are you? The war continues, and unless you're willing to
arm Ukraine in a way that we haven't in the
past us in Europe, then the war slogs on and
there's lots of killing. Uh, and Russia's mostly getting the
better end of it, barely, right, right, I mean, so
(09:53):
it's not a great walk away from it position. Yeah.
You know, I read something that I hadn't come up
us before, and that was a pretty detailed analysis. I'm
trying to find what the hell did I do with it?
A pretty detailed analysis of Russia's current financial situation, just
the tremendous hit that the economy is taking the fact
(10:14):
that they are out of cash and no one will
buy their debt. China will not buy Russian bonds, and
so they have not to mention the monumental loss of
life in the field. They're having a harder and harder
time recruiting cannon fodder. They're offering bonuses, signing bonuses that
are greater than the average salary yearly salary for a
(10:36):
Russian man right now, and that if Trump says, Okay,
we're gonna play the long game, that's not good for Putin.
I think the next thing that needs to be said, though,
is that unless you are going to seriously aid Ukraine
one way or another, they're not exactly in great shape either. Yeah,
(10:58):
so I like the hard line. No, no, no, this
is about a ceasefire. If you're wanting to talk about
all this other crap after a ceasefire, the problem being,
like I just said, what's your bargaining position if you
walk out of the deal, Putin says, cool, I guess
things are going to continue the way they are, which
is what I wanted. I'm the one who started this,
right right, unless you're willing to like come up with
(11:21):
a whole new level of arming Ukraine, and I don't
know that we are not. According to jd Vance, we aren't.
Maybe if Trump actually gets butt hurt personally offended, he
might say, if you, dude, okay, three billion dollars worth
of stuff to Ukraine by tomorrow, I hereby order, just
because he's angry about it. You know, I don't know.
It's a hell of a basis for foreign policy. But
(11:42):
I see your point. All right, here's your exit question, Jack.
Will Europe collectively find one or more of its testicles
and play a serious role in how this plays out?
Is Europe a single beast with the normal two testicle
or is it like the entire twenty eight countries, which
(12:03):
would give you what fifty six testicles? Well, for the
purpose of the metaphor, and because there's no proof that
quite a few of those countries have any testicles whatsoever,
let's view it as a collective beast with the standard
set of two. Will they find them and assert themselves
in some way? They're getting closer than they've ever been,
(12:23):
like in our lifetimes, I think to deciding we got
to start taking care of our own backyard. So yes,
Great Britain and Germany and France certainly believe that. I'm
going to go with yes. I think Europe's gonna find
its testies right down there where they exist, Like you
know what kind of blow your pocket? Oh good lord,
(12:43):
do he's an idiot? Michael? Can you believe that TwixT
your life ways? The UK ought to be referred to
as the formerly Great Britain? Wouldn't that be more accurate.
It's a little bit of a hurtful name, but it
would be more accurate. Yees, it's accurate. Any thoughts from
you text line four KFTCY.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
A new podcast interview, vice President JD. Van said that
the most surprising thing about being vice president is quote
how much you are never alone?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Hey? Man, don't you have three kids? What made you
think you were suddenly going to be alone?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
I have three kids and I'm only alone in the
bathroom and I still have to answer stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Questions through the door. Correct. Yeah, what's your expectation for
being alone? Uh? I want to get this on just
because we were just having this discussion. Are our friend
Mike Lyons, our favorite military analyst. He's not available today,
but he did tweet this out an hour ago. Not
(13:43):
having great expectations for what's to come from the summit today,
there's this is just what we were talking about. There's
just not enough leverage on Russia to change their behavior.
The meeting will be over quickly. So it's a kind
of a weird deal where like I go in and
say this is the price I'll give you for the boat,
and they say I'm not taking that. Oh, well then
I'm leaving, and they say, okay, fine, I didn't really
(14:04):
need to sell the boat. I mean, that's kind of
the situation we're in. Trump comes to says, I want
to cease fire. No, well then I'm leaving. Okay, fine,
I was gonna I want to fight the lot War anyway.
So it's not gonna go that way. Russia is gonna
pull some of the maneuvers I've been describing. But there's
when it comes to the core topic of Ukraine, there's
(14:25):
practically no overlap. I mean so little it's it might
as well be zero. It gets back to that George
Schultz quote that I've mentioned several times this week. These
things only work if you've got up some force, a
power to force something. And do we have it, like
you were talking about Europe and the balls. Does the
United States or Europe going to bring enough power to
(14:48):
the Ukraine situation that the Putin has to move and
right now it doesn't look like it. Yeah, there's got
to be a serious stick involved in the negotiations. Yeah, anyway,
much more to come on. Speaking of a Serian hostel, yes,
oh oh lord, inappropriate. The Macrones cute little Manuel Macrone
(15:09):
and his high school teacher former wife, Brigitte former high
school teacher, current wife. They're still married, right, yes, yeah, anyway,
she was his high school teacher when they first allegedly,
you know, locked eyes and found love. Anyway, a little weird,
but who am I to judge? They seem to be
happy at weird, so they are in case you don't
(15:32):
know this, suing US podcaster and influencer and half a
nut Candace Owens for claiming repeatedly a series of quote outlandish, defamatory,
and far fetched fictions about the couple, the central claim
of which is that Brigitte Macrone was born male. Candis
(15:54):
Owens has been claiming that Macrone's wife is a dude
for quite some time and claims to have plenty of
evidence yes transgender. Specifically, the investigation carried out, Oh I'm sorry,
so they've hired private and guest investigators to listen see
see if missus McCrone is a dude or not. No,
they don't need an investigator. This is the Macrone side.
Oh okay, the investigation dot d. Some details were shared
(16:18):
with the Financial Times, as well as describing her links
to the far right in France. Investigators outlined her connections
to right wing populist figures in the US and UK
and her online interactions with a Russian nationalist boy. That
is some thin cruel. Mister McCrone, Does your wife have
an Eiffel Tower? Yes?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Wow? Or no wow wow wow we we we or
no anyway? All right, So they're trying to portray her
as some right wing nut job. I don't where are
they suing her in France. You're not going to get
anywhere in the US. Friends, I just I don't know
(17:01):
how much they know about that. And my question with
that this line of stuff is if she was a dude,
what difference does that make to the world or foreign
policy or anything. I mean, you know that is a
reasonable question. Armstrong and Getty. The House will come to order.
(17:22):
It is evident to the Chair that a quorum is
not present.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Now a ritual the special Legislative Session, and the Texas
House is closed as soon as it's open. Speaking from Illinois, today,
Texas Democrats issued demands for their return to the lone
Star state, the first being that Governor Greg Abbott abandoned
the special session, which includes a redistricting map that could
award Republicans five more seats in the US Congress. Their
second demand is that California redraw its districts to the
(17:48):
advantage of Democrats. This, as Texas Democrats admitted today, they
cannot maintain this standoff indefinitely.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
We know that there's a certain point where we passed
the baton to another and say we have run our
leg of this race.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It is time for you to run your leg of
the race. All right, play the jackass, Donald.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Trump, you have poked the bear and we will punched back.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We have got to meet fire with fire. I'm sorry,
I said jackass. I meant bear the bear. They've poked
the bear, not the jackass. That's Gavin Newsom from cal
Unicornea counting on the fact that people don't get that
California has already jerrymandered. So's Illinois. So are lots of
(18:35):
blue states. There were lots of red states. It's common thing.
It's part of our history. As was pointed out the
other day by the great Kevin Williamson, the term jerry mander,
which comes from a guy named Gary, but somehow over
the years we turned it to jerrymander. But he was
a signer to the Declaration of Independence. I mean this
goes that far back, right, Yeah, and it's just and
(18:59):
Democrats are better at it than Republicans historically speaking, as
we've discussed that if we get into a war, there's
much more upside for Republicans than Democrats. To Gary Manner
even more severely. But Gaviy Newsom was in full I
am the warrior for the woke resistance mode yesterday. It
was quite amusing. What he's trying to do is overturn
(19:23):
California's barely ten year old law that says redistricting districting
will be done by a non partisan commission, which has
been become heavily left anyway, but it's better than the
legislature being involved because they're utterly corrupt. And so Gavy
is going to put it to a vote of the people,
try to overturn that and return the state to partisan
(19:45):
Gary mandering, even though it enjoys enjoys just in overwhelming
disapproval that idea. So I would love to see him
just whacked in that offer effort, but he was rowling.
Let's listen to him. Next clip, Michael eighty five, Wake.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Up America, this is serious moment. Yeah, wake up to
what's going on. Wake up to the fear, anxiety. Wake
up to what's happening, not just here in Los Angeles
where we saw our streets militarized.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Of course, our due process rights throwing out the window.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I think he might be two to four years late
on this tactic. I think it would have worked. You
remember there was a time where all this sort of
stuff worked, that Trump is the Hitler. Where did I read?
I read a piece yesterday on how uh like, for instance,
you're not hearing much narrative really out of anyone about
(20:41):
how Trump is a puppet of Putin. That was the
only theme the entire first term of Trump's presidency. But
that's pretty much gone because obviously he's not in a
variety of ways. And I think this this whole angle
would just I just I just don't think it's got
the legs it had before. You know, let's go ahead
with eighty seven. Michael I said in a moment to
(21:04):
wake up America. Wake up.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You will not have a country if he reaches this election.
You will have a president will be running for a
third term.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
I received in the mail at Trump twenty twenty eight
at from one of his biggest supporters. These guys are
not screwing around. The rules do not apply to the
most corrupt president in history. All right, he doesn't believe
in free enterprise, crony capitalism.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Wow, he is.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. To lawless president, Wake up, America,
Wake up to what's going on.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
To Gavin who's some condemned corruption is just too much? Sorry, yeah,
we so if you're listening in other parts of the country,
we've had Gavin Newsom on our radar for many, many,
many years, going back to when he was mayor of
San Francisco, and we've done events with him and that
sort of stuff. So maybe we're too close to it
(22:02):
because I read a lot and listen to a lot
of national pundits who think Gavin Newsom comes off really well,
that he's very powerful, skilled politician. At this maybe I'm
jaded by so many years of listening to his crap fools,
But what was I gonna say? What is he just saying?
It's the New York East Coast media elite. They pronounced
(22:23):
to the rest of They explain America to the country
and the country to America or whatever. Well, I'm trying
to need you, but maybe they're taking it in like
average voters who haven't been exposed to Gavin Newsom all
these years when he's running for president. But I just
think this is the end of our democracy. Thing is
played on both sides. I think I think both sides
(22:46):
played it so hard over the last like eight years.
I just don't think it lands anymore. I hope I'm right. Actually, well,
in a weird coincidence, wink, wink and clip, we'll hear
about what was happening right outside Newsom's event in LA.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That strinking scene outside of California event featuring the state's
top democratic figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom. A group of
heavily armed Border Patrol agents conducting an operation near the
venue in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo, saying they apprehended at
least one person Newsom's team, saying the action was meant
as intimidation because inside the hall, the governor and state
(23:27):
lawmakers were announcing a partisan redistricting plan to combat a
similar Republican led effort in Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So ice was there outside the stadium made at least
one immigration arrest, and their spokesperson made a clear that
there's no such thing as a sanctuary state. We're here
to enforce the law. We're going to enforce it. So
who orchestrated that?
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Who?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Again, who's purely coincidental? Who figured out Gavin was having
an event and thought and knew there were illegals around
and put that together? I wonder how high up did
that go?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Karen Bass, the useless
communist mayor of La call it a provocative act. Yeah,
this is just completely unacceptable. You know what's also provocative
is saying criminals can go free because they're illegal. That's
pretty provocative. Yeah, you literally have provoked us, Karen, So, yes,
(24:28):
it is provocative. Yes, indeed, you know, if we had time,
I would do a California's Crumbling update. Right now we
don't really, so I'll just give you this, which we mentioned,
I think late in the show yesterday. There is a
California bill in America. You too can have this sort
(24:49):
of governance in twenty twenty eight, if you play your
cards right. There's a California bill that targets excuse me,
targets consumers of the child second trafficking industry. Oh, there's
a big bust in human trafficking in LA which we
need to get to in a little bit. But anyway,
there's a California bill that targets people who buy children
(25:13):
for sex, which is a misdemeanor in cal Unicornia, and
thinking sane people with souls are trying to make it
a felony. But it's still making its way through the process,
not without debate surrounding the cost of the proposal and
how it could impact sixteen and seventeen year olds. That's
(25:35):
a smoke screen written by a sloppy journalist. Well, it's accurate,
but it's just putting the cart before the horse. The
proposal is more than halfway through the legislative process. It
would make it a felony to solicit or purchase a
child for sex in an effort to crack down on
the trafficking industry that's been growing across California in the
whole country. Right now, it's currently a misdemeanor with a
(25:58):
minimum with two days in jail. On Wednesday, lawmakers in
the Assembly Appropriations Committee, dominated of course by the supermajority
of Democrats, place the bill on what's known as the
suspense File, a list of bills that are expected to
cost the state a significant amount of money. The bills
on that list are either past or killed without public discussions,
(26:19):
which is in a special closed hearing which is scheduled
for next week. So they're going to kill the bill quietly,
So while we're building a bullet train in nowhere at
billions of dollars, any sort of letters of billions of dollars. Yes,
any legislation that would stop people from buying children for
sex is too expensive for the state, right exactly, an
(26:42):
official with the Department of Finance. So lawmakers it could
cost the state a lot and hamper the state's progress
on reducing prison populations. This is a quote from Millie
Yon of Newsom's Unholy Democrat administration in California. California is
successfully remained below the court ordered prison population cap and
(27:03):
has even made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds
of millions of dollars in annual savings. I cannot understand
the mindset that looks at crime as how many prison
cells do we have? We can only lock up as
as opposed to build as many prison cells as you
got for as many criminals as you have, right, which
(27:24):
is obviously the way to handle it. Let me finish
your sentence for you, miss Yon, Miss Millie Yan of
the Department of Finance of the State of California, blah
blah blah, millions of dollars in annual savings, and we
don't want to give that up. It would be too
expensive to jail people who buy sixteen year old girls
to rape them because they can't consent, certainly not to
(27:48):
being prostituted. So we will allow children to continue to
be raped in California to sell to save money. Millie,
did I get that right? Feel free to wag, feel
free to get in contact if you don't find that
accurate enough. That's horrifying. I don't want to get into
the twenty twenty eight presidential elections way too early. Obviously,
(28:10):
the current guy is what eight months into his first
his term. But it'll be interesting to see if Gamma
Newsom can run without being tarred with the reality of
his state. He's certainly gonna try, and it'll be interesting
to see if that works or not. It will absolutely,
but it strikes me this is absolutely the perfect time
(28:31):
to do this. We have to do this right now.
Clip sixty Matt Finn special report, Fox News last night.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Fox News exclusively on scene during a pre dawn takedown
of the Hoover Street at that the federal government says
runs a heinous sex trafficking operation, exploiting victims as young
as fourteen years old.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
With the promise of a wealthy lifestyle. Has he been here?
Is he in the residence?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
In a partnered operation named Broken Laid Homeland Security, the
DOJ and LAPD targeted eleven suspects across Los Angeles. The
US Attorney's Office tells Fox it's the first time it's
pursued a racketeering case for human trafficking in LA.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You see something, call it out. This is the FEDS
and the locals in LA. Good job LA carrying out
Operation Broken Blade. And one more clip. Just to tell
you about these fourteen, fifteen, sixteen seventeen year olds, often girls,
sometimes boys, who are being sold to be raped with
(29:33):
the approval of the Gavin administration.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Federal investigators say a female, a Maya Armstead, who goes
by the street name Lady Duck, is a prolific human
trafficker who ruled with force her Moniker even tattooed on
at least four victims' bodies. The criminal complaint alleges Armstead
posted a video of herself beating a woman in a
convenience store, holding her down by the hair and repeatedly
(29:57):
kicking and seeing her. The woman shouts that she's pregnant,
but defendant Armstead continues to beat her. In another instance,
the complaint alleges an associate of Arms said asked if
she wanted to purchase his sex worker for one thousand dollars,
noting that if she did not, he would sell her
organs across the border.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh my god. On the other hand, according to Millie
Yan of the Govenet Administration, California, successfully blah blah blah
made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds of millions
of dollars in annual savings. Woo, that's rough. That pregnant
young girl getting the hell beat out of her on
(30:36):
the floor of a convenience store. That's who we're talking about. Hey, liberals,
don't you worry about that sort of thing? Seconding, so
what do you if you do? What do you do
if you got a neighbor who for some reason blows
a train horn over and over in his house next
to you, like a real one, real train horn. There's
(30:57):
lots of different kinds of crazy. We got that and
other stuff all the way. Stay here, he Yet he
does this periodically several times during the day. It only
shuts off when the air runs out because it's blasted
by air. Then he turns it back on. It has
a range of three and a half miles. It is
an actual train horn. I want justice to be served.
(31:20):
I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I honestly to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you
guys in your own homes.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I don't know what else to do. I mean, I
hear what he's saying. He needs help, but what kind
of help does he need?
Speaker 6 (31:32):
The three cop cars showed up there or here for
about a half hour, and they all turn around and
hopped in their cars and drove away.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
So the guy bought was that the guy that blows
the train horn saying I'm sorry? Yes, what what do
you do? Sincerely apologize to my neighbors, said Bob. What's
his first name? Well was last Gary Boyadzian. But he
(32:00):
has no plans to stop I do sincerely apologize to
my neighbors. I honest to gods, I'm so sorry to
discomfort you guys in your own homes. But I don't
know what else to do. Hey, Gary, Gary, I get
an idea. It's kind of more what you gotta not do.
Here's what you should do. Just spinball in her stop
(32:22):
blowing your freaking train horn. So he wouldn't explain the
nature of what his personal grievance was, only that he
needed help and that he wanted quote justice to be served.
(32:43):
Set a neighbor and frustration. I mean, I hear what
he's saying. He needs help, but what kind of help
does he need? He's fifty years old. The cops found
ten horns when they finally kicked in his door yesterday.
Ten He had ten train horns in his house or
even buy a train horn. Listen, what does that have
(33:04):
to do with justice being served? He needs justice. Therefore,
he blows his train horn several times a day. Those
things can be Those things can be heard from for miles.
He started blaring the horns each afternoon. Wow, there are
so many different kinds of nuts out there. Then, yeah,
(33:26):
the horn has an effective range of three point five miles.
Can you imagine being next door? Yeah, they seriously do
invent a new kind of crazy every day. And when
the police were coming, he would turn them off and
then what are you talking about? And then I guess
the cops would think, well, what are we gonna do?
Hang around and hope he blows the horn again because
(33:46):
we didn't hear it. We know he doesn't know what
else to do. Jack, that's the funny. He needs justice
to be served, he told ABC seven. They arrested me
just for blowing a horn. Wow, did you see how
many of them showed up at my house yesterday? Like
I'm an effing criminal? Well you are? You literally are?
(34:09):
I mean you're not a murder or anything, but yeah,
you're breaking the law. Repeatedly, he said that the horns
were a cry for help, claiming the LAPD is helping
a mobster trying to kill him. Okay, okay, all right,
yeah psycho, Yeah too bad. Wow, that is rough. He'd
(34:31):
lived in that neighborhood for twenty years without issue neighbors
around him twenty years, and all of a sudden, every
afternoon he starts setting off a train horn. I don't
know why, go over and knock on the door. Maybe
the first day, probably, but certainly the second day. I
go over and say, what was that my train horn?
(34:54):
I'm a trying to alert people to the fact that
the LAPD won't protect me from this hitman who's trying
to kill me. What else to do? I need justice.
I wonder if he's got like the crossing gates of
his big front door. I wonder if he makes school
buses stop and open their doors and look both ways
before they drive by his house. Wow. Wow, If I
(35:15):
could stand it, I'd probably lay back just to observe
how this is going to play out. If I could
stand the train horn every afternoon, Yeah, because it's pretty interesting.
We got a good guest to talk about the Putin
Trump summit, and there's new information coming out all the time.
An hour three, I hope you can grab it. Armstrong
and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong
and Jetty and now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I think dialogue is very important, and I think it's
a very positive meeting for the world because during Biden administration,
no dialogue was happening. So I think it's very important
to hear Russian position directly, and there are lots of
misunderstandings misinformation about the Russian position. And it's also a
chance to sort of reset if the meeting goes well
US Russian relations.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
That's the Russian point of view. That is so obvious
what they're doing. We've been misunderstood. Very important dialogue, can't
wait to talk. We should be friends, We will be friends.
Be good to see you eat salmon together in Alaska. Okay,
all right, you're murderous thugs and you think it's basically
(01:08):
just a big stall or uh yeah, yeah. I think
they probably have two strategies in mind. Depending on how
things go, they'll pivot from one to the other. The
one is the big stall, as you've been describing, trot
out some very reasonable sounding possible agreements that are roughly
(01:29):
seventy five percent done, and we'll just take a little
while to hash out the last twenty five percent, they'll say,
and then they will stretch that interminably while they continue
to do what they've done. Second strategy, and they are
absolutely gonna try this is hit Trump with a package
of alluring baubles rewards for essentially giving up Ukraine to
(01:53):
Russian domination, disarm Ukraine, completely, assure it will never join NATO,
get rid of the Zelensky government, which they charmingly call denocification,
and in return, you know, we'll give you xyzab and
c and make you look like a big winner. Mister President. Well,
I don't think Trump would go for that, but my
(02:15):
theory on that after we hear a little bit. This
is ABC News is reporting on this.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to lay the groundwork, heaping
praise on President Trump. Putin saying, the current American administration
is making quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
stop the crisis, and reach agreements that are of interest
to all parties involved in this conflict. Putin saying Trump
wants to create long term conditions for peace, both between
(02:42):
our countries and in Europe and in the world. One
big question, will President Trump hold a joint press conference
here as eye by side with Vladimir Putin? The White
House Press secretary said that was the plan, but Trump
later saying though that would be nice. If the summit
doesn't end, well, you'll just have his own press conference
and head home.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And I feel like there's a zero chance of a
side by side press conference. I think Trump will do
one because he loves to come out and tell people
what happened. Yeah, I want to get this on. This
is Fox's reporting that's got some nuggets in it I
hadn't heard anywhere else. Let me just say this about
Putin that he famously does his three four hour press
conference once a year or whatever it is. But to
(03:22):
keep in mind, if you ask him a question he
doesn't like, you end up in the hut next to Navalny,
the late Navalny, in some concentration camp. So yeah, I
don't see him leaping at the chance to engage the
free media.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Now.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Putin appears to be angling for arms controls in a
video released by the Kremlin, wrapped in a compliment for Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
The current American administration, which everyone knows is making, in
my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities,
putin dangling the prospect of long term peace.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Quote, if we reach agreements in the area of control
over strategic offensive weapons at the next day, One source
familiar with the talks says, that's new and Russia has
not previously voiced any request for strategic weapons reductions.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, so what does that hold if we can come
up with a deal on strategic offensive weapons? What is that? Yeah,
that's the sort of babble I was talking about a
mister Trump. Look, I know we're here to talk about Ukraine,
but how about a giant historic arms control agreement. I mean,
you'd be like one of the greatest peacemakers in the
(04:27):
history of the world. Why don't we all ratchet down
the number of nuclear arms and the threats and stuff
like that. And yeah, there's that little patch of ground
in Europe. I'm sure we could come to an agreement
on that. But this is history making stuff, sir. And
then who knows they're going to hit him with a
blizzard of that stuff. Well, yeah, and that other clip
where the Russian said and what we want is the
sort of peace that can be long lasting for all
(04:48):
of Europe. Europe was at peace for the last eighty
years until you invaded Ukraine repeatedly, Yes, Kathy Heinrich. Fox
goes on to say this meantime.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Reuter's reports ahead of the meeting, Putin's been preparing to
test Russia's new nuclear armed, nuclear powered cruise missile. Trump
told reporters today he hasn't considered reducing military presence in
Europe to get Russia to agree to a peace deal.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That hasn't been put before me. And I think about
that for later, but it has not been put before.
So Putin's floating testing a new nuclear weapon in the
midst of all this, right, what is that? And that
last little bit about And look, also, we'd love you
to reduce your presence in Europe US. Why don't you
(05:36):
just kind of disarm Europe a little bit? Because Putin?
You can't ever underestimate Putin. Putin knows Trump thinks Europe
has been lazy and useless his partners in NATO. He's
going to appeal to Trump's desire to get the Euros
to do it on their own. He's going to say, look,
(05:56):
they've been freeloading off you the whole time. You got
to reduce your forces in Europe, and yeah, does it
played war advantage? Oh, we have no designs on anything
except Ukraine, which is really part of Russia. Well, the
good news for people with like my mindset is that
Trump has been closer and more positive about his European
relationships in the last couple of weeks than he's ever been.
(06:17):
He's had multiple meetings and they've gone over. He says
he agreed to Europe's red lines, which were, you know,
not only not taking troops out of Europe, but Europe
putting troops in Ukraine and no land swaps. All kinds
of different things that Trump says he agreed to. I
(06:38):
hope he doesn't forget that stuff when he's alone in
a room with Putin buttering him up. So Hillary Clinton
was on a podcast this morning, and I haven't heard it.
I wanted to hear it because I don't. I don't
know if her ton of voice was sarcastic or not.
Maybe it was sarcastic, but she said if Trump can
get a piece deal that doesn't include a land swap,
she herself would nominate him for or the Nobel Peace Prize. Now,
(07:03):
is that just sarcasm like that can't happen, or is
she honestly saying that would be an amazing deal.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I don't know her level of sarcasm, but I think
you've gotten to her point. Yeah, that that is a
trick so extraordinary, you know what, he pulls that off.
He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Might not have been snarky,
but it was a statement. What do you think psychologically
is Trump's it seems genuine hatred of war in general,
(07:36):
people dying in wars. Where do I think that comes from? Yeah,
it seems like more than even most people like he
just hates He just can't stand the idea of people
dying in warfare. Yeah, that's a really interesting question. I
wonder if part of it has to do with his
age and a little perspective seeing his grandchildren or whatever,
(08:01):
and realizing that, you know, all of the battles and
disagreements and you know, the storm and drong of life,
it really doesn't amount too much at the end. It's
just about living. And to snuff people out over territorial
disagreements strikes him as well, completely idiotic and wasteful. I
don't know. It is not of a piece with his
(08:23):
public image, right, in which he really tries to play
the hard ass and the I don't care the consequences,
you know type guy. I mean, he says it so
often and it seems to be genuine. The first of all,
the killing has got to stop. Too much killing, right, Yeah?
And I believe one sincere. Yeah, you know, the danger
(08:45):
there is that those who are willing to kill will
steamroll you, right if you're not willing to meet the
bully on the schoolyard. Yeah. And as illogical as it
is that human beings regularly go to slaughtering each other
and destroying each other's stuff, I mean, it's unproductive all
the way around. It is the history of humankind and
(09:08):
always will be. So there's got to be a certain
level of just accepting that's part of human nature, as
awful as it is. I just I hope, and the
greatest way to save lives that exists on earth is
to be clearly ready to slaughter the hell out of
the other guy, right, I don't know. I really hope
he goes in there with a strong mindset of ceasefire. Ceasefire, ceasefire,
(09:32):
and if you're if you're not talking about a ceasefire,
I'm not interested in talking to the problem with that
is you walk out of that meeting, and then where
are you? The war continues, and unless you're willing to
arm Ukraine in a way that we haven't in the
past us in Europe, then the war slogs on and
there's lots of killing. Uh, and Russia's mostly getting the
better end of it, barely, right, right, I mean, so
(09:53):
it's not a great walk away from it position. Yeah.
You know, I read something that I hadn't come up
us before, and that was a pretty detailed analysis. I'm
trying to find what the hell did I do with it?
A pretty detailed analysis of Russia's current financial situation, just
the tremendous hit that the economy is taking the fact
(10:14):
that they are out of cash and no one will
buy their debt. China will not buy Russian bonds, and
so they have not to mention the monumental loss of
life in the field. They're having a harder and harder
time recruiting cannon fodder. They're offering bonuses, signing bonuses that
are greater than the average salary yearly salary for a
(10:36):
Russian man right now, and that if Trump says, Okay,
we're gonna play the long game, that's not good for Putin.
I think the next thing that needs to be said, though,
is that unless you are going to seriously aid Ukraine
one way or another, they're not exactly in great shape either. Yeah,
(10:58):
so I like the hard line. No, no, no, this
is about a ceasefire. If you're wanting to talk about
all this other crap after a ceasefire, the problem being,
like I just said, what's your bargaining position if you
walk out of the deal, Putin says, cool, I guess
things are going to continue the way they are, which
is what I wanted. I'm the one who started this,
right right, unless you're willing to like come up with
(11:21):
a whole new level of arming Ukraine, and I don't
know that we are not. According to jd Vance, we aren't.
Maybe if Trump actually gets butt hurt personally offended, he
might say, if you, dude, okay, three billion dollars worth
of stuff to Ukraine by tomorrow, I hereby order, just
because he's angry about it. You know, I don't know.
It's a hell of a basis for foreign policy. But
(11:42):
I see your point. All right, here's your exit question, Jack.
Will Europe collectively find one or more of its testicles
and play a serious role in how this plays out?
Is Europe a single beast with the normal two testicle
or is it like the entire twenty eight countries, which
(12:03):
would give you what fifty six testicles? Well, for the
purpose of the metaphor, and because there's no proof that
quite a few of those countries have any testicles whatsoever,
let's view it as a collective beast with the standard
set of two. Will they find them and assert themselves
in some way? They're getting closer than they've ever been,
(12:23):
like in our lifetimes, I think to deciding we got
to start taking care of our own backyard. So yes,
Great Britain and Germany and France certainly believe that. I'm
going to go with yes. I think Europe's gonna find
its testies right down there where they exist, Like you
know what kind of blow your pocket? Oh good lord,
(12:43):
do he's an idiot? Michael? Can you believe that TwixT
your life ways? The UK ought to be referred to
as the formerly Great Britain? Wouldn't that be more accurate.
It's a little bit of a hurtful name, but it
would be more accurate. Yees, it's accurate. Any thoughts from
you text line four KFTCY.
Speaker 7 (13:06):
A new podcast interview, vice President JD. Van said that
the most surprising thing about being vice president is quote
how much you are never alone?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Hey? Man, don't you have three kids? What made you
think you were suddenly going to be alone?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
I have three kids and I'm only alone in the
bathroom and I still have to answer stupid.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Questions through the door. Correct. Yeah, what's your expectation for
being alone? Uh? I want to get this on just
because we were just having this discussion. Are our friend
Mike Lyons, our favorite military analyst. He's not available today,
but he did tweet this out an hour ago. Not
(13:43):
having great expectations for what's to come from the summit today,
there's this is just what we were talking about. There's
just not enough leverage on Russia to change their behavior.
The meeting will be over quickly. So it's a kind
of a weird deal where like I go in and
say this is the price I'll give you for the boat,
and they say I'm not taking that. Oh, well then
I'm leaving, and they say, okay, fine, I didn't really
(14:04):
need to sell the boat. I mean, that's kind of
the situation we're in. Trump comes to says, I want
to cease fire. No, well then I'm leaving. Okay, fine,
I was gonna I want to fight the lot War anyway.
So it's not gonna go that way. Russia is gonna
pull some of the maneuvers I've been describing. But there's
when it comes to the core topic of Ukraine, there's
(14:25):
practically no overlap. I mean so little it's it might
as well be zero. It gets back to that George
Schultz quote that I've mentioned several times this week. These
things only work if you've got up some force, a
power to force something. And do we have it, like
you were talking about Europe and the balls. Does the
United States or Europe going to bring enough power to
(14:48):
the Ukraine situation that the Putin has to move and
right now it doesn't look like it. Yeah, there's got
to be a serious stick involved in the negotiations. Yeah, anyway,
much more to come on. Speaking of a Serian hostel, yes,
oh oh lord, inappropriate. The Macrones cute little Manuel Macrone
(15:09):
and his high school teacher former wife, Brigitte former high
school teacher, current wife. They're still married, right, yes, yeah, anyway,
she was his high school teacher when they first allegedly,
you know, locked eyes and found love. Anyway, a little weird,
but who am I to judge? They seem to be
happy at weird, so they are in case you don't
(15:32):
know this, suing US podcaster and influencer and half a
nut Candace Owens for claiming repeatedly a series of quote outlandish, defamatory,
and far fetched fictions about the couple, the central claim
of which is that Brigitte Macrone was born male. Candis
(15:54):
Owens has been claiming that Macrone's wife is a dude
for quite some time and claims to have plenty of
evidence yes transgender. Specifically, the investigation carried out, Oh I'm sorry,
so they've hired private and guest investigators to listen see
see if missus McCrone is a dude or not. No,
they don't need an investigator. This is the Macrone side.
Oh okay, the investigation dot d. Some details were shared
(16:18):
with the Financial Times, as well as describing her links
to the far right in France. Investigators outlined her connections
to right wing populist figures in the US and UK
and her online interactions with a Russian nationalist boy. That
is some thin cruel. Mister McCrone, Does your wife have
an Eiffel Tower? Yes?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
Or no?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Wow? Or no wow wow wow we we we or
no anyway? All right, So they're trying to portray her
as some right wing nut job. I don't where are
they suing her in France. You're not going to get
anywhere in the US. Friends, I just I don't know
(17:01):
how much they know about that. And my question with
that this line of stuff is if she was a dude,
what difference does that make to the world or foreign
policy or anything. I mean, you know that is a
reasonable question. Armstrong and Getty. The House will come to order.
(17:22):
It is evident to the Chair that a quorum is
not present.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Now a ritual the special Legislative Session, and the Texas
House is closed as soon as it's open. Speaking from Illinois, today,
Texas Democrats issued demands for their return to the lone
Star state, the first being that Governor Greg Abbott abandoned
the special session, which includes a redistricting map that could
award Republicans five more seats in the US Congress. Their
second demand is that California redraw its districts to the
(17:48):
advantage of Democrats. This, as Texas Democrats admitted today, they
cannot maintain this standoff indefinitely.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
We know that there's a certain point where we passed
the baton to another and say we have run our
leg of this race.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It is time for you to run your leg of
the race. All right, play the jackass, Donald.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Trump, you have poked the bear and we will punched back.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
We have got to meet fire with fire. I'm sorry,
I said jackass. I meant bear the bear. They've poked
the bear, not the jackass. That's Gavin Newsom from cal
Unicornea counting on the fact that people don't get that
California has already jerrymandered. So's Illinois. So are lots of
(18:35):
blue states. There were lots of red states. It's common thing.
It's part of our history. As was pointed out the
other day by the great Kevin Williamson, the term jerry mander,
which comes from a guy named Gary, but somehow over
the years we turned it to jerrymander. But he was
a signer to the Declaration of Independence. I mean this
goes that far back, right, Yeah, and it's just and
(18:59):
Democrats are better at it than Republicans historically speaking, as
we've discussed that if we get into a war, there's
much more upside for Republicans than Democrats. To Gary Manner
even more severely. But Gaviy Newsom was in full I
am the warrior for the woke resistance mode yesterday. It
was quite amusing. What he's trying to do is overturn
(19:23):
California's barely ten year old law that says redistricting districting
will be done by a non partisan commission, which has
been become heavily left anyway, but it's better than the
legislature being involved because they're utterly corrupt. And so Gavy
is going to put it to a vote of the people,
try to overturn that and return the state to partisan
(19:45):
Gary mandering, even though it enjoys enjoys just in overwhelming
disapproval that idea. So I would love to see him
just whacked in that offer effort, but he was rowling.
Let's listen to him. Next clip, Michael eighty five, Wake.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
Up America, this is serious moment. Yeah, wake up to
what's going on. Wake up to the fear, anxiety. Wake
up to what's happening, not just here in Los Angeles
where we saw our streets militarized.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Of course, our due process rights throwing out the window.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I think he might be two to four years late
on this tactic. I think it would have worked. You
remember there was a time where all this sort of
stuff worked, that Trump is the Hitler. Where did I read?
I read a piece yesterday on how uh like, for instance,
you're not hearing much narrative really out of anyone about
(20:41):
how Trump is a puppet of Putin. That was the
only theme the entire first term of Trump's presidency. But
that's pretty much gone because obviously he's not in a
variety of ways. And I think this this whole angle
would just I just I just don't think it's got
the legs it had before. You know, let's go ahead
with eighty seven. Michael I said in a moment to
(21:04):
wake up America. Wake up.
Speaker 5 (21:06):
You will not have a country if he reaches this election.
You will have a president will be running for a
third term.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
I received in the mail at Trump twenty twenty eight
at from one of his biggest supporters. These guys are
not screwing around. The rules do not apply to the
most corrupt president in history. All right, he doesn't believe
in free enterprise, crony capitalism.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Wow, he is.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
Wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. To lawless president, Wake up, America,
Wake up to what's going on.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
To Gavin who's some condemned corruption is just too much? Sorry, yeah,
we so if you're listening in other parts of the country,
we've had Gavin Newsom on our radar for many, many,
many years, going back to when he was mayor of
San Francisco, and we've done events with him and that
sort of stuff. So maybe we're too close to it
(22:02):
because I read a lot and listen to a lot
of national pundits who think Gavin Newsom comes off really well,
that he's very powerful, skilled politician. At this maybe I'm
jaded by so many years of listening to his crap fools,
But what was I gonna say? What is he just saying?
It's the New York East Coast media elite. They pronounced
(22:23):
to the rest of They explain America to the country
and the country to America or whatever. Well, I'm trying
to need you, but maybe they're taking it in like
average voters who haven't been exposed to Gavin Newsom all
these years when he's running for president. But I just
think this is the end of our democracy. Thing is
played on both sides. I think I think both sides
(22:46):
played it so hard over the last like eight years.
I just don't think it lands anymore. I hope I'm right. Actually, well,
in a weird coincidence, wink, wink and clip, we'll hear
about what was happening right outside Newsom's event in LA.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
That strinking scene outside of California event featuring the state's
top democratic figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom. A group of
heavily armed Border Patrol agents conducting an operation near the
venue in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo, saying they apprehended at
least one person Newsom's team, saying the action was meant
as intimidation because inside the hall, the governor and state
(23:27):
lawmakers were announcing a partisan redistricting plan to combat a
similar Republican led effort in Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So ice was there outside the stadium made at least
one immigration arrest, and their spokesperson made a clear that
there's no such thing as a sanctuary state. We're here
to enforce the law. We're going to enforce it. So
who orchestrated that?
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Who?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Again, who's purely coincidental? Who figured out Gavin was having
an event and thought and knew there were illegals around
and put that together? I wonder how high up did
that go?
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Karen Bass, the useless
communist mayor of La call it a provocative act. Yeah,
this is just completely unacceptable. You know what's also provocative
is saying criminals can go free because they're illegal. That's
pretty provocative. Yeah, you literally have provoked us, Karen, So, yes,
(24:28):
it is provocative. Yes, indeed, you know, if we had time,
I would do a California's Crumbling update. Right now we
don't really, so I'll just give you this, which we mentioned,
I think late in the show yesterday. There is a
California bill in America. You too can have this sort
(24:49):
of governance in twenty twenty eight, if you play your
cards right. There's a California bill that targets excuse me,
targets consumers of the child second trafficking industry. Oh, there's
a big bust in human trafficking in LA which we
need to get to in a little bit. But anyway,
there's a California bill that targets people who buy children
(25:13):
for sex, which is a misdemeanor in cal Unicornia, and
thinking sane people with souls are trying to make it
a felony. But it's still making its way through the process,
not without debate surrounding the cost of the proposal and
how it could impact sixteen and seventeen year olds. That's
(25:35):
a smoke screen written by a sloppy journalist. Well, it's accurate,
but it's just putting the cart before the horse. The
proposal is more than halfway through the legislative process. It
would make it a felony to solicit or purchase a
child for sex in an effort to crack down on
the trafficking industry that's been growing across California in the
whole country. Right now, it's currently a misdemeanor with a
(25:58):
minimum with two days in jail. On Wednesday, lawmakers in
the Assembly Appropriations Committee, dominated of course by the supermajority
of Democrats, place the bill on what's known as the
suspense File, a list of bills that are expected to
cost the state a significant amount of money. The bills
on that list are either past or killed without public discussions,
(26:19):
which is in a special closed hearing which is scheduled
for next week. So they're going to kill the bill quietly,
So while we're building a bullet train in nowhere at
billions of dollars, any sort of letters of billions of dollars. Yes,
any legislation that would stop people from buying children for
sex is too expensive for the state, right exactly, an
(26:42):
official with the Department of Finance. So lawmakers it could
cost the state a lot and hamper the state's progress
on reducing prison populations. This is a quote from Millie
Yon of Newsom's Unholy Democrat administration in California. California is
successfully remained below the court ordered prison population cap and
(27:03):
has even made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds
of millions of dollars in annual savings. I cannot understand
the mindset that looks at crime as how many prison
cells do we have? We can only lock up as
as opposed to build as many prison cells as you
got for as many criminals as you have, right, which
(27:24):
is obviously the way to handle it. Let me finish
your sentence for you, miss Yon, Miss Millie Yan of
the Department of Finance of the State of California, blah
blah blah, millions of dollars in annual savings, and we
don't want to give that up. It would be too
expensive to jail people who buy sixteen year old girls
to rape them because they can't consent, certainly not to
(27:48):
being prostituted. So we will allow children to continue to
be raped in California to sell to save money. Millie,
did I get that right? Feel free to wag, feel
free to get in contact if you don't find that
accurate enough. That's horrifying. I don't want to get into
the twenty twenty eight presidential elections way too early. Obviously,
(28:10):
the current guy is what eight months into his first
his term. But it'll be interesting to see if Gamma
Newsom can run without being tarred with the reality of
his state. He's certainly gonna try, and it'll be interesting
to see if that works or not. It will absolutely,
but it strikes me this is absolutely the perfect time
(28:31):
to do this. We have to do this right now.
Clip sixty Matt Finn special report, Fox News last night.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Fox News exclusively on scene during a pre dawn takedown
of the Hoover Street at that the federal government says
runs a heinous sex trafficking operation, exploiting victims as young
as fourteen years old.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
With the promise of a wealthy lifestyle. Has he been here?
Is he in the residence?
Speaker 9 (28:57):
In a partnered operation named Broken Laid Homeland Security, the
DOJ and LAPD targeted eleven suspects across Los Angeles. The
US Attorney's Office tells Fox it's the first time it's
pursued a racketeering case for human trafficking in LA.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You see something, call it out. This is the FEDS
and the locals in LA. Good job LA carrying out
Operation Broken Blade. And one more clip. Just to tell
you about these fourteen, fifteen, sixteen seventeen year olds, often girls,
sometimes boys, who are being sold to be raped with
(29:33):
the approval of the Gavin administration.
Speaker 9 (29:36):
Federal investigators say a female, a Maya Armstead, who goes
by the street name Lady Duck, is a prolific human
trafficker who ruled with force her Moniker even tattooed on
at least four victims' bodies. The criminal complaint alleges Armstead
posted a video of herself beating a woman in a
convenience store, holding her down by the hair and repeatedly
(29:57):
kicking and seeing her. The woman shouts that she's pregnant,
but defendant Armstead continues to beat her. In another instance,
the complaint alleges an associate of Arms said asked if
she wanted to purchase his sex worker for one thousand dollars,
noting that if she did not, he would sell her
organs across the border.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Oh my god. On the other hand, according to Millie
Yan of the Govenet Administration, California, successfully blah blah blah
made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds of millions
of dollars in annual savings. Woo, that's rough. That pregnant
young girl getting the hell beat out of her on
(30:36):
the floor of a convenience store. That's who we're talking about. Hey, liberals,
don't you worry about that sort of thing? Seconding, so
what do you if you do? What do you do
if you got a neighbor who for some reason blows
a train horn over and over in his house next
to you, like a real one, real train horn. There's
(30:57):
lots of different kinds of crazy. We got that and
other stuff all the way. Stay here, he Yet he
does this periodically several times during the day. It only
shuts off when the air runs out because it's blasted
by air. Then he turns it back on. It has
a range of three and a half miles. It is
an actual train horn. I want justice to be served.
(31:20):
I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
I honestly to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you
guys in your own homes.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
I don't know what else to do. I mean, I
hear what he's saying. He needs help, but what kind
of help does he need?
Speaker 6 (31:32):
The three cop cars showed up there or here for
about a half hour, and they all turn around and
hopped in their cars and drove away.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
So the guy bought was that the guy that blows
the train horn saying I'm sorry? Yes, what what do
you do? Sincerely apologize to my neighbors, said Bob. What's
his first name? Well was last Gary Boyadzian. But he
(32:00):
has no plans to stop I do sincerely apologize to
my neighbors. I honest to gods, I'm so sorry to
discomfort you guys in your own homes. But I don't
know what else to do. Hey, Gary, Gary, I get
an idea. It's kind of more what you gotta not do.
Here's what you should do. Just spinball in her stop
(32:22):
blowing your freaking train horn. So he wouldn't explain the
nature of what his personal grievance was, only that he
needed help and that he wanted quote justice to be served.
(32:43):
Set a neighbor and frustration. I mean, I hear what
he's saying. He needs help, but what kind of help
does he need? He's fifty years old. The cops found
ten horns when they finally kicked in his door yesterday.
Ten He had ten train horns in his house or
even buy a train horn. Listen, what does that have
(33:04):
to do with justice being served? He needs justice. Therefore,
he blows his train horn several times a day. Those
things can be Those things can be heard from for miles.
He started blaring the horns each afternoon. Wow, there are
so many different kinds of nuts out there. Then, yeah,
(33:26):
the horn has an effective range of three point five miles.
Can you imagine being next door? Yeah, they seriously do
invent a new kind of crazy every day. And when
the police were coming, he would turn them off and
then what are you talking about? And then I guess
the cops would think, well, what are we gonna do?
Hang around and hope he blows the horn again because
(33:46):
we didn't hear it. We know he doesn't know what
else to do. Jack, that's the funny. He needs justice
to be served, he told ABC seven. They arrested me
just for blowing a horn. Wow, did you see how
many of them showed up at my house yesterday? Like
I'm an effing criminal? Well you are? You literally are?
(34:09):
I mean you're not a murder or anything, but yeah,
you're breaking the law. Repeatedly, he said that the horns
were a cry for help, claiming the LAPD is helping
a mobster trying to kill him. Okay, okay, all right,
yeah psycho, Yeah too bad. Wow, that is rough. He'd
(34:31):
lived in that neighborhood for twenty years without issue neighbors
around him twenty years, and all of a sudden, every
afternoon he starts setting off a train horn. I don't
know why, go over and knock on the door. Maybe
the first day, probably, but certainly the second day. I
go over and say, what was that my train horn?
(34:54):
I'm a trying to alert people to the fact that
the LAPD won't protect me from this hitman who's trying
to kill me. What else to do? I need justice.
I wonder if he's got like the crossing gates of
his big front door. I wonder if he makes school
buses stop and open their doors and look both ways
before they drive by his house. Wow. Wow, If I
(35:15):
could stand it, I'd probably lay back just to observe
how this is going to play out. If I could
stand the train horn every afternoon, Yeah, because it's pretty interesting.
We got a good guest to talk about the Putin
Trump summit, and there's new information coming out all the time.
An hour three, I hope you can grab it. Armstrong
