---

1. U.S.-Russia Relations and the Putin-Trump Summit

Discussion Overview: Armstrong and Getty engage in a nuanced discussion about the anticipated summit between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. They explore the potential agendas, motivations, and implications of such a meeting, especially in the context of ongoing hostilities and geopolitical tensions.

Key Points:

• Importance of Dialogue: Jack Armstrong emphasizes the necessity of direct communication between the U.S. and Russia to prevent misunderstandings and misinformation. He notes, “So I think it's very important to hear Russian position directly” (03:13).

• Russian Strategies: The hosts speculate on Russia's possible strategies during the summit, including stalling tactics and the proposal of significant arms control agreements to incentivize Trump’s participation. Armstrong remarks, “They are absolutely going to try this is hit Trump with a package of alluring baubles” (04:55).

• Putin’s Position: Christina Quinn highlights Putin's public statements praising Trump’s efforts to cease hostilities, suggesting a diplomatic opening. She cites, “Putin appears to be angling for arms controls in a video released by the Kremlin, wrapped in a compliment for Trump” (06:19).

• Challenges and Skepticism: The hosts express skepticism about the summit's potential success, questioning whether Trump will prioritize a ceasefire over other strategic interests. Armstrong questions, “Unless you're willing to arm Ukraine in a way that we haven't in the past... then the war slogs on” (12:35).

Notable Quotes:

• Jack Armstrong: “A very important dialogue. Can't wait to talk. We should be friends. We will be friends.” (03:27)
• Christina Quinn: “Putin appears to be angling for arms controls...” (06:19)
• Jack Armstrong: “The greatest way to save lives that exists on earth is to be clearly ready to slaughter the hell out of the other guy.” (11:02)

2. California Politics and Gavin Newsom's Administration

Discussion Overview: The hosts transition to state politics, focusing on California Governor Gavin Newsom's administration. They critique recent legislative actions, particularly surrounding redistricting and efforts to combat human trafficking, highlighting perceived inefficiencies and policy failures.

Key Points:

• Redistricting Controversy: Armstrong and Getty discuss Texas Democrats' demands related to redistricting maps, extending the conversation to California's own redistricting efforts led by Newsom. They criticize attempts to revert California to partisan gerrymandering, which they view as detrimental despite existing nonpartisan measures. Armstrong sarcastically suggests renaming the UK to "the formerly Great Britain" to mock Europe's political maneuvers (15:25).

• Human Trafficking Legislation: A significant portion of the discussion centers on a proposed California bill aimed at making the solicitation or purchase of a child for sex a felony. The hosts condemn the administration's stance, arguing that financial constraints are prioritized over protecting vulnerable minors. They highlight the legislative process's opacity and the potential for silently killing the bill by placing it on the "suspense file" (36:00).

• Operational Failures: Armstrong critiques the Department of Finance's justification for blocking the trafficking bill, mocking the rationale that incarcerating offenders would be too costly compared to the heinous crimes committed (38:08).

Notable Quotes:

• Jack Armstrong: “Allow children to continue to be raped in California to save money.” (38:24)
• Unknown Speaker: “I cannot understand the mindset that looks at crime as how many prison cells do we have...” (38:23)
• Jack Armstrong: “That's horrifying. I don't want to get into the 2028 presidential elections way too early...” (39:02)

---

3. Lawsuit Against Candace Owens and Brigitte Macron

Discussion Overview: The episode addresses the legal battles between conservative commentator Candace Owens and Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron. Owens is sued for making unfounded and defamatory claims regarding Brigitte Macron's gender and background.

Key Points:

• Allegations and Defamation: Armstrong explains that Owens has been persistently claiming that Brigitte Macron is transgender, a claim she vehemently denies. He mocks the seriousness of the allegations, highlighting the lack of factual basis behind them.

• Investigative Claims: The hosts question the necessity of private investigators for disproving indisputable facts, insinuating that Owens' claims are baseless and malicious.

• Political Implications: The discussion touches upon the broader implications of such defamation in political discourse, emphasizing the absurdity of vilifying figures without substantive evidence.

Notable Quotes:

• Jack Armstrong: “If she was a dude, what difference does that make to the world or foreign policy or anything?” (24:02)
• Jack Armstrong: “They are suing us podcasters and influencers... the central claim... Brigitte McCrone was born male.” (22:45)
• Unknown Speaker: “Candace Owens has been claiming that McCrone's wife is a dude...” (22:51)

---

4. Anecdote: Neighbor Blowing Train Horns

Discussion Overview: Towards the episode's end, Armstrong and Getty share a bizarre local story about a neighbor named Gary Boyadzian, who repeatedly blows a train horn from his home as a form of protest or personal statement, leading to neighborhood tension and police intervention.

Key Points:

• Behavioral Breakdown: Gary repeatedly blows his train horn multiple times a day, claiming it as a cry for help and alleging threats from a mobster, despite no evidence supporting his claims.

• Community Impact: The incessant horn-blowing disrupts neighbors’ peace, leading to frustration and calls for Gary to cease his actions.

• Law Enforcement Response: Police intervention results in the discovery of multiple train horns in Gary's home, yet he remains uncooperative, insisting his actions are justified.

Notable Quotes:

• Gary Boyadzian: “I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors. I honestly to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you guys in your own homes...” (46:12)
• Jack Armstrong: “Here's what you should do. Just spitball in here. Stop blowing your freaking train horn.” (47:38)
• Unknown Speaker: “He's 50 years old. The cops found 10 horns when they finally kicked in his door yesterday.” (48:05)

---

Conclusion

Throughout the episode, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty provide a blend of political critique, sharp commentary, and offbeat anecdotes. Their discussions reflect a deep skepticism towards political maneuvers and legislative actions, coupled with a penchant for highlighting unusual local stories. The hosts maintain an engaging and dynamic dialogue, offering listeners both information and entertainment.

Notable Closing Moments:

[Unknown]

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

[Jack Armstrong]

Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. Well, I think dialogue is very important and I think it's a very positive.

[Ice Cube]

Meeting for the world because during Biden administration, no dialogue was happening.

[Jack Armstrong]

So I think it's very important to hear Russian position directly. And there are lots of misunderstandings, misinformation.

[Unknown]

About the Russian position and it's also.

[Jack Armstrong]

A chance to sort of reset if the meeting goes well. U.S. russia relations.

[Unknown]

That's the Russian point of view.

[Jack Armstrong]

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. This would be good to see you. We eat salmon together in Alaska. Okay. All right. You're murderous thugs.

[Unknown]

And. And you think it's basically just a big stall or.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, yeah. There. 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 75% done and we'll just take a little while to ash out the last 25%, 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 going to try this is hit Trump with a package of alluring baubles, rewards for essentially giving up Ukraine to Russian domination, disarm Ukraine completely assure it will never join NATO, get rid of the Zelensky government, which they charmingly call denazification. And in return, you know, we'll give you XYZ, A, B and C and make you look like a big winner, Mr. President.

[Unknown]

Well, I don't think Trump would go for that. But my theory on that, after we hear a little bit. This is ABC News is reporting on this.

[Jack Armstrong]

Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to lay.

[Christina Quinn]

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.

[Jack Armstrong]

Putin saying Trump wants to create long.

[Christina Quinn]

Term conditions for peace, both our countries and in Europe and in the world.

[Jack Armstrong]

One big question.

[Christina Quinn]

Will President Trump hold a joint press conference here side by side with Vladimir Putin? The White House press secretary said that was the plan. But Trump later saying, though that would.

[Jack Armstrong]

Be nice if the summit doesn't end.

[Christina Quinn]

Well, he'll just have his own press conference and head home.

[Unknown]

And I feel like there's 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.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

I want to get this on. This is Fox's reporting that's got some nuggets in it I hadn't heard anywhere else.

[Jack Armstrong]

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 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. No.

[Christina Quinn]

Putin appears to be angling for arms controls in a video released by the Kremlin, wrapped in a compliment for Trump.

[Unknown]

The current American administration, which everyone knows.

[Jack Armstrong]

Is making, in my opinion, quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities.

[Christina Quinn]

Putin dangling the prospect of long term peace if we reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons at the next stage. One source familiar with the talks says that's new. And Russia has not previously voiced any request for strategic weapons reductions.

[Unknown]

Okay, so what does that hold if we can come up with a deal on strategic offensive weapons? What is that?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's the sort of bauble I was talking about. Hey, Mr. 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 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.

[Unknown]

And then who knows they're going to.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hit him with a blizzard of that stuff.

[Unknown]

Well, yeah, and that other clip where the Russians said, and what we want is a sort of peace that can be long lasting for all of Europe. Europe was at peace for the last 80 years until you invaded Ukraine, you see, repeatedly. Yes. Kathy Heinrich of Fox goes on to say this.

[Christina Quinn]

Meantime, Reuters reports ahead of the meeting, Putin's been preparing to test Russia's new nuclear armed nuclear powered cruise missile. Trump told reporters he hasn't considered reducing military presence in Europe to get Russia to agree to a peace deal that.

[Jack Armstrong]

Hasn'T been put before me. And I'll think about that for later, but it has not been put before me.

[Unknown]

So Putin's floating, testing a new nuclear weapon in the midst of all this.

[Jack Armstrong]

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 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, and, 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, they've been freeloading off you the whole time. You got to reduce your forces in Europe. Yeah. Does it play to our advantage? Oh, we have no designs on anything except Ukraine, which is really part of Russia.

[Unknown]

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. 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. No land swaps, all kinds of different things that Trump says he agreed to. I 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 tone of voice was sarcastic or not. Maybe it was sarcastic, but she said if Trump can get a peace deal that doesn't include a land swap, she herself would nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, is that just sarcasm? Like, that can't happen, or is she honestly saying that would be an amazing deal?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. 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.

[Unknown]

What do you think, psychologically, is Trump's. It seems genuine hatred of war in general, People dying in wars.

[Jack Armstrong]

Where do I think that comes from?

[Unknown]

Yeah, it seems like more than even most people. It just like he just hates. He just can't stand the idea of people dying in warfare.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, that's a really interesting question. I wonder if part of it has to do with his age and a little perspective and seeing his grandchildren or whatever and realizing that, you know, all of the battles and, and disagreements and, you know, the sturm and drong of life really doesn't amount to much at the end. It's just about living and, and to snuff people out over territorial disagreements strikes him as, well, completely idiotic and wasteful.

[Unknown]

I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

It is not of a piece with his 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.

[Unknown]

I mean, he says it so often and it seems to be genuine. First of all, the killing has got to stop.

[Jack Armstrong]

Too much killing, Right? Yeah. And I believe 100 he's sincere.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

You know, the danger 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.

[Unknown]

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 always will be. So there's gotta be a certain level of just accepting that's part of human nature. As awful as it is. I, I just, I, I hope.

[Jack Armstrong]

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.

[Unknown]

Right. I don't know. I really hope he goes in there with a strong mindset of ceasefire, ceasefire, ceasefire. And if you're, if you're not talking about a ceasefire, I'm not interested in talking to you. 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 and Europe, then the war slogs on and there's lots of killing and, and Russia's mostly getting the better end of it. Barely.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right. Right.

[Unknown]

I mean, so it's not a great walk away from it position.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. You know, I read something that I hadn't come across 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 that they are out of cash and no one will buy their debt, China will not buy Russian bonds. And so they, 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 Russian man right now. And that if, if Trump says, okay, we're going to 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.

[Unknown]

Yeah, so I like the hard line. 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. 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.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right, Right.

[Unknown]

Unless you're willing to, like, come up with a whole new level of arming Ukraine, and I don't know that we are. Not according to J.D. vance, we aren't. Maybe if. If Trump actually gets butt hurt, personally offended, he might say, F you, dude. OK, $3 billion worth of stuff to Ukraine by tomorrow. I hereby order. Just because he's angry about, you know, I don't know.

[Jack Armstrong]

That's a hell of a basis for foreign policy, but I see your point. All right, here's your. Here's your. Your exit question, Jack. Will Europe collectively find one or more of its testicles and play a serious role in how this plays out?

[Unknown]

Is Europe a single beast with the normal two testicles, or is it like the 28 countries which would give you, what, 56 testicles?

[Jack Armstrong]

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? I.

[Unknown]

They're getting closer than they've ever been, like, in our lifetimes, I think, to deciding we gotta start taking care of our own backyard. So, yes, Great Britain and. And Germany and France certainly believe that. I'm gonna go with yes. I think Europe's gonna find its testes right down there where they exist, like, you know, kind of below your pockets.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, good Lord. Don't do that. He's an idiot. Michael, can you believe that? Twixt your legs, by the way, the UK ought to be referred to as the formerly Great Britain. Wouldn't that be more accurate?

[Unknown]

It's a little bit of a hurtful name but it would be more accurate.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, it's accurate.

In a new podcast interview, Vice President J.D. vance said that the most surprising thing about being vice president is, quote, how much you are never alone. Hey, man, don't you have three kids? What made you think you were suddenly gonna be alone? I have three kids, and I'm only alone in the bathroom. And I still have to answer stupid questions through the door, Correct?

[Unknown]

Yeah. What's your expectation for being alone? Want to get this on? Just because we were just having this discussion?

[Jack Armstrong]

Our.

[Unknown]

Our friend Mike Lyons, our favorite military analyst. He's not available today, but he did tweet this out an hour ago. Not 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 need to sell the boat. I mean, that's kind of the situation we're in. Trump comes and says, I want to cease fire. No. Well, then I'm leaving. Okay, fine. I was going to. I want to fight the war anyway.

[Jack Armstrong]

So it's not going to go that way. Russia is going to pull some of the maneuvers I've been describing. But there's. When it comes to the core topic of Ukraine, there's practically no overlap. I mean, so little. It. It might as well be zero.

[Unknown]

It gets back to that George Schultz quote that I've mentioned several times this week. These things only work if you've got 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 the Ukraine situation that Putin has to move and right now it doesn't look like it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, there's got to be a serious stick involved in the negotiations. Yeah. Anyway, much more to come on. Speaking of serious. Yes.

[Christina Quinn]

Oh, oh.

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, lord. Inappropriate. The McCrones, cute little manual Macron and his high school teacher, former wife, Brigitte.

[Unknown]

Former high school teacher, current wife. They're still married, right?

[Jack Armstrong]

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. So they are, in case you don't 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 McCrone was born male.

[Unknown]

Candace Owens has been claiming that McCrone's wife is a dude for quite some time and claims to have plenty of evidence.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes, transgender. Specifically, the investigation carried out. Oh, I'm sorry. So they've hired private and guest investigators.

[Unknown]

To look into, see if Mrs. McCrone is a dude or not.

[Jack Armstrong]

No, they don't need an investigator. This is the McCrone side.

[Unknown]

Oh, okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

The investigation, some details were shared 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 gruel.

[Unknown]

Mr. McCrone, does your wife have an Eiffel Tower? Yes or no?

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Unknown]

We are no.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow, wow, wow. We, we, we or no? Anyway. All right, so they're trying to portray her as some right wing nutjob. I don't. Where are they suing her in France? You're not going to get anywhere in the U.S. friends. I just, I don't know how much they know about that.

[Unknown]

My question with that this line of stuff is if it, if she was a dude, what difference does that make to the world or foreign policy or anything?

[Jack Armstrong]

I mean, you know, that is a reasonable question. Armstrong and Getty the reviews and ratings.

The House will come to order it is evident to the chair that a quorum is not present. Now a ritual, a special legislative session in 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 U.S. congress. Their second demand is that California redraw its districts to the advantage of Democrats. This, as Texas Democrats admitted today they cannot maintain this standoff indefinitely.

[Unknown]

We know that there's a certain point where we pass the baton to another.

[Jack Armstrong]

State and say we have Run our leg of this race.

[Unknown]

It is time for you to run your leg of the race.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right, play the jackass.

[Unknown]

Donald Trump, you have poked the bear and we will punch back.

[Jack Armstrong]

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 Newsome from Cal Unicornia, counting.

[Unknown]

On the fact that people don't get that California is already gerrymandered. So is Illinois. So are lots of blue states. So are 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 gerrymander, which comes from a guy named Gary, but somehow over the years we turned it to gerrymander. But he was a signer to the Declaration of Independence. I mean this goes that far back, right? Yeah, I mean it's just.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. And Democrats are better at it than Republicans historically speaking. And as we've discussed that if we get into a war, there's much more upside for Republicans than Democrats to gerrymander even more severely. But Gabby 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 California's barely 10 year old law that says redistricting districting will be done by a nonpartisan commission which has been become heavily left anyway. But it's better than the legislature being involved because they're utterly corrupt. And so Gavi is going to put it to a vote of the people to try to overturn that and return the state to partisan gerrymandering 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 rolling. Let's, let's listen to him next clip. Michael85 Wake up America. This is serious moment. 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, where due process right.

[Unknown]

Thrown out the window. I think he might be two to four years late on this tactic. I think it would have worked. Remember there was a time where all this sort of stuff worked that Trump is the Hitler.

[Jack Armstrong]

Where did I read, I read a.

[Unknown]

Piece yesterday on how like for instance, you're not hearing much narrative really out of anyone about how Trump is a puppet of Putin. That was the, 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, it just. I just. I just don't think it's got the legs it had before, you know, go.

[Jack Armstrong]

Ahead with 87, Michael.

[Unknown]

I said in a moment ago, wake up, America. Wake up. You will not have a country if.

[Jack Armstrong]

He rigs this election. You'll have a president will be running.

[Unknown]

For a third term.

[Jack Armstrong]

Mark my word wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail.

[Unknown]

A Trump 2028 hat from one of his biggest supporters.

[Jack Armstrong]

These guys are not screwing around. The rules do not apply to him. The most corrupt president in history, all.

[Unknown]

Right, doesn't believe in free enterprise, crony capitalism.

[Jack Armstrong]

He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. The lawless president.

[Unknown]

Wake up, America.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wake up to what's going on. To Gavin Newsom, condemn corruption is just too much. Sorry.

[Unknown]

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, 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.

[Jack Armstrong]

They're fools.

[Unknown]

But what was I going to say? What is he just saying?

[Jack Armstrong]

Oh, it's the New York east coast media elite. They pronounced to the rest of the explain America to the country and the country to America or whatever. Well, I'm trying to, but maybe they're.

[Unknown]

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 both sides played it so hard over the last eight years, I just don't think it lands anymore. I hope I'm right, actually.

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, in a weird coincidence, wink, wink, wink. In clip 82, we'll hear about what was happening right outside Newsom's event in la. That striking scene outside a California event featuring the state's top Democratic figures, including Governor Gavin Newsom, a group of heavily armed Border Patrol agents conducting an operation.

[Joe Getty]

Near the venue in Los Angeles's Little.

[Jack Armstrong]

Tokyo, saying they apprehended at least one person. Newsom's team Saying the action was made as intimidation because inside the hall, the governor and state lawmakers were announcing a partisan redistricting plan to combat a similar Republican led effort in Texas. So ICE was there outside the stadium, made at least one immigration arrest, and their spokesperson made it clear that there's no such thing as a sanctuary state. We're here to enforce the law. We're going to enforce it.

[Unknown]

So who orchestrated that?

[Jack Armstrong]

Who, again, who's. Purely coincidental, who figured out Gavin was.

[Unknown]

Having an event and thought and knew there were illegals around and put that together? I wonder how high up did that go?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah, I don't know. Let's see. Karen Bass, the useless communist mayor of la, called it a provocative act. Yeah, this is just completely unacceptable.

[Unknown]

You know, it's also provocative is saying criminals can go free because they're illegal. That's pretty provocative.

[Jack Armstrong]

Yeah. You literally have provoked us, Karen. So, yes, it is provocative. Yes, indeed. You know, I, 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 of governance in 2028 if you play your cards right. There's a California bill that targets, excuse me, targets consumers of the child sex trafficking industry. Oh, there was 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, that targets people who buy children 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 16 and 17 year olds. That's a smokescreen written by a sloppy journalist. Well. 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 going growing across California and the whole country right now it's currently a misdemeanor with a minimum of two days in jail. On Wednesday, lawmakers in the Assembly Appropriations Committee, dominated of course by the supermajority of Democrats, placed 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 passed or killed without public discussions, which is in a special closed hearing which is scheduled for next week. So they're going to kill the bill quietly.

[Unknown]

So while we're building a bullet train to nowhere at billions of dollars, any.

[Jack Armstrong]

Sort of legislation, hundreds of billions of dollars. Yes.

[Unknown]

Any legislation that would stop people from buying children for sex is too expensive for the state.

[Jack Armstrong]

It Right, Exactly. An official with the Department of Finance told lawmakers it could cost the state a lot and hamper the state's progress on reducing prison populations. This is a quote from Millie Yan of Newsom's unholy Democrat administration in California. California successfully remained below the court ordered prison population cap and has even made strides toward closing prisons resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in annual savings.

[Unknown]

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.

[Jack Armstrong]

Right.

[Unknown]

Which is obviously the way to handle it.

[Jack Armstrong]

Let me finish your sentence for you, Ms. Yan. Ms. 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 16 year old girls to rape them because they can't consent, certainly not to 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 weigh it. Feel free to get in contact if you don't find that accurate enough.

[Unknown]

That's horrifying. I don't want to get into the 2028 presidential elections way too early. Obviously the current guy is what, eight months into his first his term. But it'll be interesting to see if Gavin Newsom can run without being tarred with the reality of his state. He's certainly going to try and it'll be interesting to see if that works or not.

[Jack Armstrong]

It will. Absolutely. But it strikes me this is absolutely the perfect time to do this. We have to do this right now. Clip 60 Matt Finn, special report fo last night.

[Unknown]

This is a police you have a warrant.

[Jack Armstrong]

Come out with your hands up. Fox News exclusively on scene during a.

[Unknown]

Pre dawn takedown of the Hoover street gang that the federal government says runs a heinous sex trafficking operation exploiting victims.

[Jack Armstrong]

As young as 14 years old with the promise of a wealthy lifestyle.

[Unknown]

Has he been here?

[Jack Armstrong]

Is he in the residence in a.

[Unknown]

Partnered operation named Broken Blade homeland security, the DOJ and LAPD targeted 11 suspects across Los Angeles.

[Jack Armstrong]

The U.S. attorney's office tells Fox it's.

[Unknown]

The first time it's pursued a racketeering case for human trafficking in la.

[Jack Armstrong]

You see something, call it out. This is the feds and the locals in la. Good job. LA Opera. Carrying out Operation Broken Blade. And one more clip just to tell you about these 14, 15, 16, 17 year olds, often girls, sometimes boys, who are being sold to be raped. With the approval of the Gavin administration, federal investigators say a female, Amaya Armstead.

[Unknown]

Who goes by the street name Lady.

[Jack Armstrong]

Duck, is a prolific human trafficker who ruled with force.

[Unknown]

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 kicking and kneeing her.

[Jack Armstrong]

The woman shouts that she's pregnant, but.

[Unknown]

Defendant Armstead continues to beat her. In another instance, the complaint alleges an.

[Jack Armstrong]

Associate of Armstead asked if she wanted.

[Unknown]

To purchase his sex worker for $1,000, noting that if she did not, he would sell her organs across the border. Oh, my God.

[Jack Armstrong]

On the other hand, according to Millie Yahn of the Gavin administration, California successfully, blah, blah, blah, made strides toward closing prisons, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in annual savings. Savings.

[Unknown]

That's rough.

[Jack Armstrong]

That pregnant young girl getting the hell beat out of her on the floor of a convenience store. That's who we're talking about.

[Unknown]

Hey, liberals, don't you worry about that sort of thing.

[Jack Armstrong]

Man. Sickening.

[Unknown]

So what do you have to 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?

[Jack Armstrong]

Like a real one, real train horn.

[Unknown]

There's lots of different kinds of crazy. We got that and other stuff on the way. Stay here.

He does this periodically several times during the day. It only shuts off when the air runs out because it's black. Blasted by air. Then he turns it back on. It has a range of three and a half miles.

[Unknown]

It is an actual train home.

[Jack Armstrong]

I want justice to be served. I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors. I honestly to God. I'm so sorry to discomfort you guys in your own homes. 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? Three cop cars showed up.

[Unknown]

They were here for about a half hour.

[Jack Armstrong]

They all turned around, hopped in their cars and drove away.

[Unknown]

So the guy blow. Was that the guy that blows the train horn saying I'm sorry?

[Jack Armstrong]

Yes. What. What do you mean do? Sincerely apologize to my neighbors, said Bob. What's his first name? Well, his last. Gary Boyadzian. But he has no plans to stop. I do sincerely apologize to my neighbors. I honest to God, I'm so sorry to discomfort you guys to 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.

[Unknown]

Here's what you should do. Just spitball in here. Stop blowing your freaking train horn.

[Jack Armstrong]

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. Said a neighbor in frustration. I mean, I hear what he's saying. He needs help, but what kind of help does he need?

[Unknown]

He's 50 years old. The cops found 10 horns when they finally kicked in his door yesterday.

[Jack Armstrong]

10.

[Unknown]

He had 10 train horns in his house. Or even buy a train horn.

[Jack Armstrong]

What does that have 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.

[Unknown]

He started blaring the horns each afternoon.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Unknown]

There are so many different kinds of nuts out there.

[Jack Armstrong]

Then he had the horn has an effective range of 3.5 miles. Can you imagine being next door? Yeah. They seriously do invent a new kind of crazy every day.

[Unknown]

And when the police were coming, he would turn them off. And then. So what are you talking about? And then I guess the cops would think, well, what. What are we going to do? Hang around and hope he blows the horn again? Because we didn't hear it. We.

[Jack Armstrong]

He doesn't know what else to do, Jack.

[Unknown]

That's the funny part.

[Jack Armstrong]

He needs justice to be served.

[Unknown]

He told ABC7 they arrested me just for blowing a horn.

[Jack Armstrong]

Wow.

[Unknown]

Did you see how many of them showed up at my house yesterday like I'm an effing criminal?

[Jack Armstrong]

Well, you, you. You are. You literally are. I mean, you're not a murderer or anything, but. Yeah, you're breaking the law.

[Unknown]

Repeatedly, he said that the horns were a cry for help, claiming the LAPD is helping a mobster trying to kill him. Okay, okay.

[Jack Armstrong]

All right.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Jack Armstrong]

Psycho. Yeah. Too bad.

[Unknown]

Wow, that is rough. He'd lived in that neighborhood for 20 years without issue. Neighbors around him. 20 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 and go over and say, what was that? My train horn. I'm trying to alert people to the fact that the LAPD won't protect me from this hitman who's trying to kill me.

[Jack Armstrong]

I need justice. I wonder if he's got, like, the crossing gate in front of his ding, ding, ding, ding, 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.

[Unknown]

Wow. If I 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 effort. Afternoon.
