- 0:00Speaker 1: Straight ahead on Real America tonight Beijing's burning bridges. A
- 0:04Speaker 1: high stakes trip to the communist capitol is currently underway
- 0:06Speaker 1: as President Trump will meet with President Jijingping tomorrow, looking
- 0:10Speaker 1: to use Chinese leverage over Iran to try and reopen
- 0:14Speaker 1: the strait of her moves, plus border backlash in Fairfax County, Virginia,
- 0:19Speaker 1: lawmakers there set to confront the deadly cost of Centuary rules,
- 0:22Speaker 1: as a grieving mother will testify on Capitol Hill this
- 0:25Speaker 1: week that local Democrat officials ignored a federal detainer, allowing
- 0:30Speaker 1: an illegal criminal alien to run free and then murder
- 0:33Speaker 1: her daughter. In California's corruption crisis, here we go again,
- 0:38Speaker 1: a stunning admission of foreign interference as Arcadia, California's mayor
- 0:42Speaker 1: resigns because she was acting as a secret agent for Beijing.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Was this another Eric Swollwell girlfriend? All that and more
- 0:51Speaker 1: starts right now. Let's go good tuesaving to you folks.
- 1:03Speaker 1: President Trump as we speak, head and over to Beijing
- 1:05Speaker 1: for high stakes talks with President g as administration attempts
- 1:09Speaker 1: to try and navigate a volatile Middle East crisis that
- 1:13Speaker 1: has now pushed the US China relationship to its limits.
- 1:17Speaker 1: The objective convincing the Chinese to use their leverage over
- 1:22Speaker 1: Iran to end the two month war and to reopen
- 1:26Speaker 1: the Strait of Hormus again, where the world gets twenty
- 1:29Speaker 1: percent of its.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Oil and natural gas.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Well, the White House has publicly set low expectations for
- 1:34Speaker 1: any big, huge breakthrough. The pressure's mounting again. With twenty
- 1:39Speaker 1: percent of the crude oil flowing through the strait. Both
- 1:42Speaker 1: nations and other nations around the globe are feeling the
- 1:45Speaker 1: economic squeeze. We're all paying the pain at the pump, right.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Inflation went back up. Gotta get it handled.
- 1:52Speaker 1: The lead up to the summit has well, let's say,
- 1:55Speaker 1: about anything but smooth. Washington recently slapped sanctions on Chinese
- 1:59Speaker 1: fis for aiding with Iranian military strikes, while Beijing has fired.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Back, calling the moves illegal pressure.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Despite the friction, both leaders seem eager to prevent the
- 2:10Speaker 1: Iran conflict from triggering.
- 2:12Speaker 2: A full scale trade war.
- 2:14Speaker 1: But the Strait isn't the only sticking point, folks, the
- 2:17Speaker 1: President says. The agenda also includes the long standing dispute
- 2:21Speaker 1: over US support for Taiwan.
- 2:24Speaker 3: You think we should still be sued, Well, I'm going
- 2:28Speaker 3: to have that discussion with President She. President she would
- 2:31Speaker 3: let us not to, and I'll have that discussion. That's
- 2:34Speaker 3: one of the many things I'll be talking about. Well,
- 2:38Speaker 3: you know, he and I have gotten other than with COVID.
- 2:41Speaker 2: You know, I was not.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I was.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I was just not accepting of what happened with COVID.
- 2:47Speaker 3: But other than that, he and I have had a
- 2:50Speaker 3: great gentleman. I find him to be an amazing an
- 2:54Speaker 3: amazing man. And when I say that, the President says, oh,
- 2:58Speaker 3: that's terrible.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Did he God?
- 3:00Speaker 3: You know he runs one point four billion people with
- 3:03Speaker 3: a pretty iron fist. He's he loves his country. I
- 3:08Speaker 3: can tell you that President she I look forward to
- 3:10Speaker 3: being there and if he felt anything wouldn't we wouldn't
- 3:13Speaker 3: be doing it.
- 3:15Speaker 2: But a lot of good things can happen always the negotiator.
- 3:19Speaker 2: Think about it.
- 3:20Speaker 1: That comment just came from the the White House, I
- 3:23Speaker 1: think yesterday, and he's getting ready to have this huge meeting.
- 3:27Speaker 2: He knows that the Chinese watch our media, watch our press.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So what do you do? You build the guy up.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You're about to go hit hard to try to get
- 3:34Speaker 1: what you want. Why would you trash talking before you
- 3:38Speaker 1: sit down face to face and say, here's what I
- 3:40Speaker 1: want you to do.
- 3:41Speaker 2: That's why Trump's a good negotiator.
- 3:43Speaker 1: The Beijing summit marks a critical junction in a year
- 3:46Speaker 1: of escalating economic friction. The timeline, let's go back to
- 3:49Speaker 1: April twenty twenty five, when President Trump enacted thirty four percent.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Tariffs across the board on the Chinese. That sparked a.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Cycle of retaliation that saw levies hit triple digits before
- 4:02Speaker 1: a temporary truce was brokeered last October. Today's agenda, we're
- 4:07Speaker 1: told it's going to focus on three specific pillars. First
- 4:11Speaker 1: and foremost, trade negotiations, discussing a formal board of trade
- 4:15Speaker 1: to manage China's rare earth export and permits, and US
- 4:19Speaker 1: sanctions on firms buying Iranian crew. Second, technology, under pressure
- 4:25Speaker 1: from Nvidia, the Administration is weighing whether to ease advance
- 4:28Speaker 1: chip restrictions to maintain Chinese reliance on USAI architecture, and finally, security,
- 4:36Speaker 1: and that encompasses a lot folks, Taiwan remaining the biggest
- 4:40Speaker 1: risk to try and keep some sort of stability in
- 4:42Speaker 1: the region, and the US Treasury demanding that China pressure
- 4:45Speaker 1: Iran to reopen the Strait of hermus this summit is
- 4:49Speaker 1: less about breakthroughs and more about managing our relationship with
- 4:53Speaker 1: China and the fragile truce with Iran. And as a
- 4:59Speaker 1: if you're watching last night, you also saw a clip
- 5:02Speaker 1: from the President saying that one of the first things
- 5:03Speaker 1: out of his mouth is going to be talking about
- 5:05Speaker 1: fentanyl and how it's killing Americans and how he wants
- 5:09Speaker 1: Gjiji Pink to stop it from going from China to
- 5:12Speaker 1: Mexico to our shores. Joining me now with more insight
- 5:15Speaker 1: into this historic meeting between the two leaders, and let's
- 5:18Speaker 1: not forget all of the big, huge CEOs that are
- 5:22Speaker 1: flying with Trump for this meeting. He's the host of
- 5:25Speaker 1: the Crossroads podcast and the senior investigative reporter over at
- 5:28Speaker 1: the Epic Times.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Our friend Joshua Philip back on Real America.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Joshua, We've tried to lay it out there, but you
- 5:36Speaker 1: are a lot more familiar with the Chinese relations than
- 5:38Speaker 1: I and my team are. So what did we miss
- 5:41Speaker 1: when it comes to how high stakes these talks are
- 5:43Speaker 1: and what they'll be talking about.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Well, I think you're pretty spot on. Actually, you know
- 5:49Speaker 4: the Chinese Communist Party what they want. They want tariff relief.
- 5:52Speaker 4: They want Trump to live some of the tariffs. They
- 5:55Speaker 4: also want semiconductors. As you mentioned, One important factor that
- 5:59Speaker 4: I have in heard mentioned that I think is important
- 6:01Speaker 4: to note when it comes to the Strait of Horror Moves.
- 6:04Speaker 4: China needs it open more than the US does, right,
- 6:07Speaker 4: And what the CCP does not want, what cheating team
- 6:10Speaker 4: does not want, is for Trump to basically say, okay, Iran,
- 6:14Speaker 4: time is up. Time to disappear off the face of
- 6:17Speaker 4: the map. If Trump were to effectively, you know, end
- 6:20Speaker 4: the Iranian regime without a deal that could be in
- 6:23Speaker 4: favor of China, if they helped negotiate it, it would
- 6:26Speaker 4: mean the US would probably take over security of the
- 6:29Speaker 4: Strait of Horror Moves, meaning the management of that strait
- 6:32Speaker 4: would fall under the United States. China does not want
- 6:35Speaker 4: that at all, right on the yeah, that is the
- 6:38Speaker 4: big thing they don't want.
- 6:40Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense.
- 6:41Speaker 1: I mean, if they're getting so much of their oil
- 6:43Speaker 1: and their natural gas from those guys and they have
- 6:45Speaker 1: to all of a sudden come through the good old
- 6:47Speaker 1: US of A their biggest economic adversary, I would think
- 6:51Speaker 1: they wouldn't like that.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Not to mention, they have to come through us to
- 6:54Speaker 4: get the Venezuelan oil now too, that's right.
- 6:57Speaker 1: That's right again, people that were giving Trump's so much
- 7:00Speaker 1: crap right for invading a foreign land and snatching up
- 7:03Speaker 1: their leader, even though Democrats were the ones that put
- 7:05Speaker 1: the bounty on his head and said we wish somebody
- 7:07Speaker 1: would take him out, and then Trump does it. This
- 7:10Speaker 1: is all connected, and that's what Joshua explained that to
- 7:13Speaker 1: our viewers and the folks in the cheap seats on
- 7:16Speaker 1: the left and the media on how this is all connected,
- 7:19Speaker 1: whether it's the oil, the training ground for terrorists, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: all these evil dictators.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I mean, they were all working together. And obviously none.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Of them, from Venezuela and Cuba and South America to
- 7:30Speaker 1: Iran in our Middle East foes to China, none of
- 7:33Speaker 1: them have our best interests in mind. And so Trump's
- 7:36Speaker 1: been slowly dismantling, in my opinion, their whole little connection.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Am I wrong?
- 7:42Speaker 4: There? You're spot on. So it's several tiered. So China
- 7:47Speaker 4: has been creating kind of an alternate world and alternate
- 7:50Speaker 4: world order, and a lot of that has to do
- 7:53Speaker 4: with undermining American sanctions. So if North Korea gets sanctioned,
- 7:57Speaker 4: for human rights abuses. China is there to swing keep
- 8:00Speaker 4: them up. If, for example, Iran gets sanctioned for killing
- 8:05Speaker 4: what like thirty five thousand citizens recently, China is there
- 8:09Speaker 4: to bail them out. You know, they're there to make
- 8:11Speaker 4: the trade deals. If Russian gas can't be sold, China
- 8:15Speaker 4: buys it. And so what you've had happen is they
- 8:19Speaker 4: have kind of an anything goes type of policy. The
- 8:22Speaker 4: only requirement is, don't question our human rights choices, don't
- 8:26Speaker 4: try to, you know, tell us that we're we shouldn't
- 8:29Speaker 4: kill or abuse our citizens, and that that's kind of
- 8:31Speaker 4: the Chinese led world orders.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Right when it comes to.
- 8:35Speaker 4: Venezuela, Russian and Iran oil powers, and China has been
- 8:39Speaker 4: buying really cheap oil from them for a long time.
- 8:42Speaker 4: The other big picture is, as you mentioned, yeah, it's terrorism,
- 8:45Speaker 4: China uses that. Of course, it's also drugs you mentioned.
- 8:48Speaker 4: That's one of the first things Trump's going to talk about.
- 8:50Speaker 4: China is the real drug kingpin. They established a lot
- 8:53Speaker 4: of the drug trade networks. They do the money laundry
- 8:55Speaker 4: for the cartels, They sell them the synthetic drugs. Eventional
- 8:59Speaker 4: they even sell the ingredients for big drugs for example,
- 9:02Speaker 4: like methamphetamine, the precursors come from China.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Also, wow, what about bricks. Nobody's talking about that.
- 9:09Speaker 1: But I remember a couple of years ago in the
- 9:11Speaker 1: program having you on and talking about the forming of
- 9:15Speaker 1: this new development bank called BRICKS, which was bringing together
- 9:18Speaker 1: Brazil and Russia and India and China and South Africa,
- 9:23Speaker 1: and they were all trying to weaken our dollar. Doesn't
- 9:26Speaker 1: by Trump doing what he's doing and dismantling these regimes
- 9:30Speaker 1: and taking back oil control. From what I've read already online,
- 9:34Speaker 1: it seems like bricks is already weakening, which is then
- 9:37Speaker 1: in turn going to strengthen the dollar again, something a
- 9:40Speaker 1: businessman would get, not a politician.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Well, and that that's actually kind of a core point
- 9:47Speaker 4: that a lot of people miss. So bricks they were getting,
- 9:51Speaker 4: they were getting ready to roll out of bricks currency.
- 9:54Speaker 4: They even had, you know, for example, like samples ready
- 9:57Speaker 4: to go. Trump threatened a hundred percent tariffs on any
- 10:01Speaker 4: country that tries to undermine the US dollar. That whole
- 10:04Speaker 4: movement fell off, but you know, kind of on delay
- 10:06Speaker 4: till Trump leaves office. That's kind of the way they're
- 10:08Speaker 4: doing it. As you mentioned, that's really off the table
- 10:11Speaker 4: now though, without having Venezuelan and oil. Without having we'll
- 10:15Speaker 4: see what happens with Iran. Right, they really don't have
- 10:18Speaker 4: the power for this. And interesting note, it turns out
- 10:21Speaker 4: that China said they were getting rid of the US dollar.
- 10:23Speaker 4: It turns out they've been hoarding dollars and so even
- 10:27Speaker 4: they don't seem to believe.
- 10:28Speaker 2: In this ha And is it interesting?
- 10:31Speaker 1: We never heard anything about fighting back against bricks under
- 10:34Speaker 1: the last regime, the Biden Harris regime. You never hear
- 10:37Speaker 1: Democrats or some of the old rhinos speak of it.
- 10:40Speaker 1: But Trump saw what was happening and was smart enough
- 10:42Speaker 1: to start hitting key things, removing key people, taking the
- 10:47Speaker 1: fight to a ram.
- 10:48Speaker 2: Not just about nukes.
- 10:49Speaker 1: I know that's the big talk, but let's be real
- 10:52Speaker 1: to me. This is a huge economic war to put
- 10:56Speaker 1: America back as the top economic and milli terry leader
- 11:01Speaker 1: on the friggin planet. And that's why he's always talking
- 11:03Speaker 1: about We're bringing back the golden air of America, where
- 11:05Speaker 1: everybody either revered.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Or feared US.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Our dollar was strong, we got the best military, and
- 11:11Speaker 1: if you need something, you always call the good old
- 11:13Speaker 1: US of A. And I gotta admit over the last
- 11:16Speaker 1: decade or two under Obama and then Jojo I would say,
- 11:21Speaker 1: we were weakened in all of those areas, and Trump's
- 11:25Speaker 1: trying to bring it back.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I get what he's doing. Joshua Finnel word to you,
- 11:28Speaker 2: my friend.
- 11:30Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, we'll see what happens. I don't think Trump's
- 11:32Speaker 4: going to hand that much back to she. We might
- 11:34Speaker 4: see some we might see some tariff relief, we might
- 11:36Speaker 4: see some Chinese investment, but I think the long term
- 11:39Speaker 4: goal is to bring factories back to the United States,
- 11:42Speaker 4: and a decoupling from China will be a part of
- 11:46Speaker 4: that which we're currently watching.
- 11:48Speaker 1: And he can use those tariffs to threaten if they
- 11:50Speaker 1: don't work with us on getting Iran under control right
- 11:54Speaker 1: and the straight back open. To me, it's brilliant negotiating
- 11:58Speaker 1: using the economic with the military to try and get
- 12:01Speaker 1: what he wants for us, the American people.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Joshua Phillip.

- 12:06Speaker 1: reporting over at Epic Times.

- 12:11Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:11Speaker 1: Thirty arrests, a violent history and the policy that let
- 12:15Speaker 1: a monster walk free coming up, the devastating results of
- 12:20Speaker 1: the immigration fallout in another liberal place, Fairfax County, Virginia.
- 12:25Speaker 1: This as a grieving mother prepares to testify before Congress.
- 12:30Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll talk with Congressman Jim Jordan on the
- 12:32Speaker 1: changes that need to happen in this country to keep
- 12:35Speaker 1: us safe. No more sanctuary cities for God's sakes. Plus,
- 12:40Speaker 1: did you hear this one? A major scandal is brewing
- 12:43Speaker 1: involved in Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey and one of his
- 12:46Speaker 1: alleged ex girlfriends. The claims involves some pretty kinky stuff,
- 12:51Speaker 1: but bigger picture a possible bribe and a payout to shut.
- 12:55Speaker 2: The accuser up.
- 12:56Speaker 1: We've got the on camera deposition of the woman making
- 13:00Speaker 1: the claims, and a bit later it's National Police Week.
- 13:03Speaker 1: We'll take some time out of a show to honor

- 13:45Speaker 2: Welcome back.
- 13:45Speaker 1: While past regimes have played fast and loose with our
- 13:48Speaker 1: border security and immigration policy, lawmakers on the Hill and
- 13:52Speaker 1: the Trump administration are working overtime trying to curb the
- 13:56Speaker 1: illegal and all too often deadly consequent of allowing millions
- 14:01Speaker 1: of unvetted illegal criminal aliens into this country. It happened,
- 14:06Speaker 1: let's be real, under Obama, and it was supercharged under
- 14:10Speaker 1: the Biden Harris regime. This Thursday at ten am, now,
- 14:14Speaker 1: let's just show a subcommittee. We'll hold a hearing on
- 14:16Speaker 1: the situation in Fairfax County, Virginia. I know you've heard
- 14:20Speaker 1: that name a lot, folks. Between Fairfact and Allowed in
- 14:22Speaker 1: those two counties next to the swamp is where all
- 14:25Speaker 1: the dirty liberal crap goes down. Fairfax a community now
- 14:29Speaker 1: grappling with the fallout of policies that limit cooperation with
- 14:33Speaker 1: federal immigration authorities.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Of course, the Dems don't want to cooperate. They like
- 14:37Speaker 2: all the illegals.
- 14:38Speaker 1: The committee will examine how these sanctuary rules prioritize illegal
- 14:43Speaker 1: aliens over you legal American citizens. Testimony will come from
- 14:48Speaker 1: former Virginia Attorney General Jason Marriz and Cheryl Minter. Cheryl's
- 14:53Speaker 1: a mother who's seen the devastating consequences first hand of
- 14:57Speaker 1: these liberal policies. Mintner's daughters, Stephanie, was murdered in February.
- 15:02Speaker 1: The suspect here we go again, a man from Sierra
- 15:07Speaker 1: Leone with over thirty prior charges, including assault, rape, and
- 15:13Speaker 1: a whole bunch more thirty of them. But he was
- 15:15Speaker 1: walking free despite the fact he had an ICE detainer,
- 15:19Speaker 1: which means the local cops in that county went yet,
- 15:23Speaker 1: go ahead, We're not going to call the Feds. Go
- 15:24Speaker 1: back out on the street, while the families of the
- 15:27Speaker 1: victims are left to pick up the pieces. The cowards
- 15:30Speaker 1: behind these policies aren't just making excuses. These lib tards
- 15:33Speaker 1: are doubling down. Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano, has
- 15:38Speaker 1: made it official policy to tip the scales of justice,
- 15:42Speaker 1: directing his prosecutors to manipulate plea deals specifically to help
- 15:47Speaker 1: illegal aliens avoid deportation. Isn't that aiding in a betting
- 15:52Speaker 1: can we throw his ass in prison. Discano argues that
- 15:55Speaker 1: deporting a criminal is a perversion of justice, claiming it
- 16:00Speaker 1: it's unfair for an illegal alien to face.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Removal while a citizen does not. Are you kidding me?
- 16:07Speaker 5: The idea that we favor one group over another is
- 16:11Speaker 5: completely wrong. You know that has been fed by, in
- 16:14Speaker 5: my opinion, purposeful misreporting and people taking things out of
- 16:18Speaker 5: context for political gain. I can tell you that my
- 16:21Speaker 5: job and our office's job is to keep us safe,
- 16:24Speaker 5: and regardless of what somebody's status is, our job is
- 16:27Speaker 5: to hold people accountable when they hurt our neighbors, and
- 16:29Speaker 5: that's what we do.
- 16:31Speaker 1: However, as we see in the tragic case of Stephanie Mettner,
- 16:35Speaker 1: the real perversion of justice is a system that views
- 16:38Speaker 1: the unnecessary destruction of a criminal's immigration status as a
- 16:41Speaker 1: higher priority than the actual live of an American citizen.
- 16:46Speaker 1: It is disgusting and the ultimate slap in the face
- 16:48Speaker 1: to families who have to now cope with the loss.
- 16:52Speaker 6: I had her for forty one years, and I don't
- 16:58Speaker 6: know what I'm going to do without her. Changes got
- 17:01Speaker 6: to happen with this, It's just got to. I don't
- 17:04Speaker 6: know where all these political people are I mean, they
- 17:12Speaker 6: stop serving citizens. They've just stopped, and I'm not quite
- 17:19Speaker 6: sure how they get voted in.
- 17:22Speaker 1: It's disgusting. I feel your pain. Joining us now to
- 17:25Speaker 1: weigh in and all this. He's the chairman of the
- 17:27Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee. Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan back on the program. Jim,
- 17:32Speaker 1: nice to see you. Thanks for taking up this and
- 17:34Speaker 1: having this hearing later this week. It is so tragic
- 17:37Speaker 1: that every month, Jim, I got to sit here and
- 17:40Speaker 1: play a clip of a grieving mom or dad about illegal,
- 17:44Speaker 1: not illegal, allegal American, tax paying citizen getting raped or
- 17:49Speaker 1: murdered by another criminal, illegal alien. And then we come
- 17:52Speaker 1: to find out it's not just the Biden Harris regime
- 17:55Speaker 1: that let him in, but now there's prosecutors and judges
- 17:58Speaker 1: and elected Democrats that are letting them walk instead of
- 18:01Speaker 1: call them the Feds to kick them out.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Yeah, no, exactly right.
- 18:05Speaker 7: Descano said his jobs to keep people safe. We'll tell
- 18:07Speaker 7: that to step and the minor's mom who was just
- 18:09Speaker 7: on the on the screen there. So understand the Democrats plan.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Dan.
- 18:13Speaker 7: First, during Biden they let in ten million illegal migrants,
- 18:17Speaker 7: so they just no border whatsoever, let in ten million, Second,
- 18:21Speaker 7: create sanctuary jurisdictions, which makes it difficult to remove those
- 18:26Speaker 7: individual illegal migrants who commit another crime. And then third,
- 18:30Speaker 7: don't fund ICE. So that's been their plan, and they've
- 18:32Speaker 7: been executing that plan, where we're trying to fund ICE
- 18:35Speaker 7: now as we speak here in the Congress because the
- 18:37Speaker 7: Democrats refuse to do it. So that's their plan. Now
- 18:39Speaker 7: Discano is taking it a step further. So now that
- 18:43Speaker 7: in ten million they create sanctuary jurisdiction, then they try
- 18:45Speaker 7: to defund ICE. Ascano is saying, and I'm not going
- 18:48Speaker 7: to charge or I'm going to take into account their
- 18:50Speaker 7: immigration status when I decide what to charge them with
- 18:54Speaker 7: because I don't want them deported. So he's actually just
- 18:57Speaker 7: releasing bad guys on the street who do terrible things.
- 19:01Speaker 7: As evidence by what happened to Stephanie Mentor. So this
- 19:05Speaker 7: is why we're having him in. It is so crazy
- 19:08Speaker 7: where the left is now at.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't make this crap up, Jim, Like, seriously,
- 19:13Speaker 1: what the hell happened to that party?
- 19:15Speaker 2: They think it can change your genership.
- 19:17Speaker 1: A wild border and illegal criminal aliens mean more than
- 19:20Speaker 1: American citizens. I don't know how anybody votes Democrat Jim
- 19:23Speaker 1: in their lives.
- 19:23Speaker 7: Ever again, and Dan, understand how pervasive this sanctuary jurisdiction
- 19:28Speaker 7: policy is. And remember what it is to you've talked
- 19:31Speaker 7: about this, you said it, well, this is when politicians
- 19:34Speaker 7: at the local level tell local law enforcement not to
- 19:37Speaker 7: work with federal law enforcement when it comes to enforcing
- 19:40Speaker 7: federal law. So that's what's happening in the sanctuary jurisdiction.
- 19:44Speaker 7: And now eighteen states, excuse me, eighteen cities, eleven states,
- 19:48Speaker 7: three counties, and the District of Columbia are sanctuary jurisdictions.
- 19:53Speaker 7: But because they're big blue cities, big blue states, that
- 19:57Speaker 7: represents almost a third of the country, a third of
- 20:00Speaker 7: the population of the greatest country ever now live in
- 20:04Speaker 7: a sanctuary jurisdiction, where again, politicians tell local law enforcement
- 20:08Speaker 7: not to work with federal law enforcement when it comes
- 20:11Speaker 7: to enforcing federal law. And in some cases you have
- 20:14Speaker 7: district attorneys who just ignore the law at the local
- 20:17Speaker 7: level and say, we're going to release these guys on
- 20:19Speaker 7: the street, even though they've been charged with all kinds
- 20:22Speaker 7: of things, even though they've done all kinds of previous crimes.
- 20:25Speaker 7: We're gonna let them out on the street where they
- 20:27Speaker 7: end up doing terrible things.
- 20:28Speaker 1: This is just absolutely disgusting, you know. And here's the deal, Jim,
- 20:32Speaker 1: what are the consequences? Somebody caught up with Senator Eric Schmidt.
- 20:36Speaker 1: This is a quick sound, but I want to play it.
- 20:38Speaker 1: And somebody asked him about the consequences if you're out
- 20:40Speaker 1: there obstructing Ice, if you're out there aiding the illegal
- 20:43Speaker 1: alien like that one judge did that got in trouble
- 20:46Speaker 1: out west right, that helped the alien get out of
- 20:48Speaker 1: her courtroom before Ice could show up. I feel like
- 20:51Speaker 1: this da is doing the same thing. He's aiding and
- 20:53Speaker 1: a betting. Anyway, here's Senator Schmidt rolled that real quickly.
- 20:56Speaker 8: Consequences look like Stephanie Mentor, American mother whose killer was
- 21:02Speaker 8: shielded by Fairfax's Fairfax County's sanctuary policies.
- 21:07Speaker 2: That's the consequences, folks.
- 21:08Speaker 1: Murder, death, rape, horrific things are happening, mainly to young
- 21:13Speaker 1: American women at the hands of these disgusting legal aliens
- 21:17Speaker 1: and literally elected Democrat lawmakers das judges, people on the
- 21:22Speaker 1: other side of the aisle you got to work with.
- 21:24Speaker 1: I feel bad for you, Jim, are okay with this crap?
- 21:26Speaker 7: They're allowing, well, well, there may be some consequences for
- 21:31Speaker 7: mister Descano because the Justice Department, and God blessed the
- 21:34Speaker 7: Attorney General Blanks for the work that they're doing. But
- 21:36Speaker 7: the Justice Department has opened up an investigation into what
- 21:40Speaker 7: he's doing because we believe it's preferential treatment for illegal
- 21:45Speaker 7: He's supposed to be serving the American citizens in his
- 21:48Speaker 7: respective jurisdiction there, he's supposed to be serving them, but
- 21:51Speaker 7: he's given preferential treatment to illegal migrants, even broadcasted that
- 21:56Speaker 7: on his website of his campaign. So hopefully there's some
- 22:00Speaker 7: consequences coming from mister Discano, as evidenced by the fact
- 22:04Speaker 7: the Justice Department is investigating this.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Let's hope.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Final one to you is this hearing fill us in.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Who's all going to be there Thursday? I would assume, oh, an,
- 22:12Speaker 1: we're going to broadcast most of it are parts of it,
- 22:15Speaker 1: but this is kicking off. What did I read ten
- 22:16Speaker 1: or eleven am on Thursday East Coast.
- 22:18Speaker 7: Time, ten o'clock Thursday. We have miss Mentor's mom who
- 22:21Speaker 7: you had just had on there. Of course we're going
- 22:23Speaker 7: to have mister Discano. I'm going to have the sheriff
- 22:25Speaker 7: from a Fairfax County as well. We're going to have
- 22:28Speaker 7: the former Attorney General for the state of Virginia. So
- 22:31Speaker 7: we'll have those four witnesses who will be there on
- 22:34Speaker 7: Thursday morning.

- 22:56Speaker 1: former girlfriend comes forward this week on the record alleged
- 23:00Speaker 1: claims of sexual decency, but the bigger picture a bribe
- 23:04Speaker 1: to keep her mouth shut and a congressional slush fund.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Payout if she signed it.
- 23:11Speaker 1: But she had to do an NBA so she couldn't
- 23:13Speaker 1: talk about what happened.
- 23:14Speaker 2: Now she's speaking out in her own words, and you
- 23:17Speaker 2: be the judge.

- 24:01Speaker 1: Taxpayer funded silence is under the microscope today on the Hill,
- 24:04Speaker 1: new documents obtained via subpoena by GOP Congressman and Nancy
- 24:08Speaker 1: Mace reveal the grim details of the congressional slush fund
- 24:12Speaker 1: used for years to settle sexual harassment claims. The records
- 24:16Speaker 1: started in four I'm told, and go up to twenty eighteen,
- 24:19Speaker 1: probably beyond. They detail about three hundred thousand dollars in payouts.
- 24:23Speaker 1: One of them includes a herring account from different AIDS
- 24:26Speaker 1: and assistance, including one who alleged the late Representative John
- 24:29Speaker 1: Conners pressured her for sexual favors on official government trips.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Others exposed the tickle fight defensive former Representative Eric Massa
- 24:38Speaker 1: as a mask for what AIDS described as jarring misconduct
- 24:43Speaker 1: from representatives in the House of Representatives. While laws changed
- 24:47Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen to make lawmakers pay their own settlements.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Mace warns a many records prior to four were destroyed,
- 24:54Speaker 1: leaving years of potential abuse in the darks. That brings
- 25:00Speaker 1: us to the current controversy that began today swirling around
- 25:04Speaker 1: Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massey. The Massy files are exploding all
- 25:10Speaker 1: over X and social media today. Now we're talking about
- 25:13Speaker 1: allegations of a calculated criminal attempt to silence a woman.
- 25:20Speaker 1: According to her, The story centers around a woman named
- 25:23Speaker 1: Cynthia West, who describes a disturbing pattern a job essentially
- 25:28Speaker 1: handed to her by Thomas Massey through his colleague and
- 25:32Speaker 1: good friend, Indiana Congresswoman Victoria Sparts. But the dream job,
- 25:37Speaker 1: Cynthia says, turned into a nightmare after allegedly rejecting some
- 25:43Speaker 1: kinky sexual advances by Massy.
- 25:46Speaker 2: West says she was then met with a.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Horrible boss who fired her via text Victoria after only
- 25:54Speaker 1: working for her for six weeks, and after she moved
- 25:57Speaker 1: from Florida to Washington, d c. Massy's request, here comes
- 26:02Speaker 1: the cover up again. These are relegations, and Cynthia suggests
- 26:07Speaker 1: an illegal attempt to buy her silence with a bribe
- 26:11Speaker 1: and then a forced.
- 26:12Speaker 2: NDA non disclosure agreement.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Wessays she refused the bribe first, she claims from Massey,
- 26:19Speaker 1: and then second from Congress with that slush fund. And
- 26:24Speaker 1: now today she's telling her story about the man Massey
- 26:28Speaker 1: who's out there preaching transparency all about the Epstein files,
- 26:32Speaker 1: yet has potentially and allegedly some dark.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Secrets of his own.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Now, she sat for a deposition with an attorney in
- 26:39Speaker 1: Kentucky for over thirty minutes. I also spoke with her
- 26:43Speaker 1: on the phone today for over fifteen minutes. We have
- 26:46Speaker 1: condensed the deposition, but I want you to watch and
- 26:49Speaker 1: listen to her carefully and you decide who you believe.
- 26:53Speaker 9: Are you working with any candidates in Kentucky in any race? No,
- 26:58Speaker 9: are you at any way affiliated with any political organizations
- 27:01Speaker 9: that are actively engaged in any races in Kentucky.
- 27:04Speaker 1: No?
- 27:06Speaker 9: Are you being paid by anybody to be here?
- 27:08Speaker 2: No?
- 27:10Speaker 9: Has anything of value that offered or promised to you
- 27:13Speaker 9: by anyone for your testimony today in any way?
- 27:16Speaker 2: No?
- 27:17Speaker 9: Do you know Thomas Massey?
- 27:19Speaker 5: Yes?
- 27:23Speaker 9: What was your first contact with him?
- 27:28Speaker 10: We started DM or private messaging on x or Twitter
- 27:33Speaker 10: about mid August twenty twenty four.
- 27:37Speaker 9: Who initiated those direct messages?
- 27:40Speaker 10: He did?
- 27:42Speaker 9: Did he ever call you?
- 27:44Speaker 10: We started talking shortly after that on the phone.
- 27:48Speaker 9: Were you able to discern from these conversations why he
- 27:52Speaker 9: was calling you?
- 27:54Speaker 10: Well, I mean we talked about being in venture, Bud
- 27:57Speaker 10: Easier was pursuing a relationship. It was I mean, that's
- 28:01Speaker 10: what it seemed like.
- 28:03Speaker 9: Okay, people are gonna ask, so I'm gonna ask you.
- 28:09Speaker 9: Are you married legally separated?
- 28:12Speaker 10: Legally separated?
- 28:13Speaker 9: And at the time I was.
- 28:16Speaker 10: It was very intense, very very romantic, intense relationship that
- 28:23Speaker 10: was forming very quickly. Who wanted to move to the
- 28:26Speaker 10: next stages very very quickly. I ended up getting a
- 28:31Speaker 10: promise ring. We spent a lot of time together when
- 28:34Speaker 10: I didn't have my kids because it was week on,
- 28:36Speaker 10: week off, so we were either you know, talking and messaging,
- 28:40Speaker 10: or when I didn't have my kids, then I was
- 28:42Speaker 10: either in Kentucky or he was coming to Florida. And
- 28:47Speaker 10: we did go on some other trips too, So.
- 28:53Speaker 9: This wasn't just a long distance relationship. I mean you
- 28:55Speaker 9: actually visited with him in Washington, d C. Yes, And
- 29:00Speaker 9: you visited with him in Kentucky where at his home,
- 29:03Speaker 9: and you mentioned that he took you on trips? Where'd
- 29:06Speaker 9: you go on trips?
- 29:08Speaker 10: We visited a friend of mine in Savannah, Georgia, and
- 29:11Speaker 10: then we went to South Africa?
- 29:14Speaker 9: Was South Africa a business trip?
- 29:17Speaker 10: I would say political? I didn't have a job. But
- 29:20Speaker 10: then he texted me and he got a job for
- 29:23Speaker 10: me at another congressional office that would have allowed me to,
- 29:27Speaker 10: you know, work that schedule to be with him.
- 29:32Speaker 9: He got you a job, yeah, at a congressional office. Yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 9: so that you could be in DC. Had you applied
- 29:45Speaker 9: for a job, No, how did you learn that you
- 29:49Speaker 9: suddenly had a job.
- 29:50Speaker 10: Well, he texted me the details. So you kind of
- 29:53Speaker 10: arranged it with another member of Congress who was the
- 29:59Speaker 10: job with victorious parts.
- 30:02Speaker 9: How did it work out for you working for her?
- 30:05Speaker 10: Not very well? I ended up getting fired, So there
- 30:10Speaker 10: was that.
- 30:12Speaker 9: Well how long did you work for?
- 30:15Speaker 10: Oh? Six weeks?
- 30:17Speaker 9: Okay? Well during that period of time, how did you
- 30:19Speaker 9: perceive your relationship with Thomas Massey was going?
- 30:23Speaker 2: Well?
- 30:26Speaker 10: I ended up breaking off the relationship shortly after I
- 30:29Speaker 10: started working for her. And after trying to be in
- 30:32Speaker 10: DC with him and work for her. Why well, he
- 30:39Speaker 10: he he wanted me to engage in behavior that I
- 30:43Speaker 10: just I wasn't comfortable, So I couldn't I couldn't stand
- 30:49Speaker 10: that relationship.
- 30:51Speaker 9: Well what did he say when you? Did you tell
- 30:54Speaker 9: him you weren't comfortable that?
- 30:56Speaker 10: Yeah? I did.
- 30:58Speaker 9: Did you object?
- 30:59Speaker 10: Yes? I did?
- 31:01Speaker 9: How did he react?
- 31:02Speaker 10: He'd get angry?
- 31:07Speaker 9: How did he treat you.
- 31:10Speaker 10: When you, I would say, emotionally abusive?
- 31:14Speaker 9: What'd you do?
- 31:18Speaker 10: Well? I mean at that point I broke up with him.
- 31:22Speaker 9: Did he ever make any contact with you after you
- 31:25Speaker 9: broke up with him in an attempt to either rekindle
- 31:29Speaker 9: the relationship or apologize?
- 31:31Speaker 10: Oh? No, not for that.
- 31:34Speaker 9: Then what happened after you broke up with him?
- 31:38Speaker 2: Well?
- 31:38Speaker 9: Did you keep working in DC?
- 31:40Speaker 2: I did?
- 31:42Speaker 10: And it was bad, and you know, I had to
- 31:48Speaker 10: go to ethics and there's I ended up getting fired.
- 31:54Speaker 9: How'd you find out you were fired?
- 31:57Speaker 10: Oh? A text message?
- 31:59Speaker 9: Are you familiar with the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights?
- 32:02Speaker 2: Yeah? I am.
- 32:04Speaker 9: How did you become familiar with them? How did you
- 32:05Speaker 9: find out about them?
- 32:07Speaker 2: So?
- 32:08Speaker 10: I had been talking to ethics about some of the
- 32:10Speaker 10: things that were happening, and so there's the Congressional Accountability
- 32:14Speaker 10: Act and they had said that these people in this
- 32:16Speaker 10: office might be able to help me, so I started
- 32:18Speaker 10: engaging with them.
- 32:23Speaker 9: When you made contact with them, were you provided with
- 32:26Speaker 9: an attorney?
- 32:27Speaker 10: Yes? Yes?
- 32:29Speaker 9: Were you required to fill out any forms or identify
- 32:31Speaker 9: any evidence or identify witnesses?
- 32:34Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 32:35Speaker 9: Did you comply with all those requirements?
- 32:37Speaker 10: I did.
- 32:40Speaker 9: And in the course of filling out those documents, did
- 32:43Speaker 9: you buy a chance list Thomas Massey? I did, essential witness?
- 32:46Speaker 10: I did.
- 32:47Speaker 11: Yes.
- 32:48Speaker 9: How did he react to that?
- 32:50Speaker 10: Well, out of courtesy when I started the process, I
- 32:53Speaker 10: called him up to let him know, and he was very,
- 33:00Speaker 10: very angry, and he said, you're just You're just one
- 33:05Speaker 10: person that you can't make a difference. That you need
- 33:07Speaker 10: to just walk away. And then he had five thousand
- 33:10Speaker 10: dollars that he said that he would give me if
- 33:13Speaker 10: I would just walk away. I didn't take it, though.
- 33:20Speaker 9: Did he offer you a check?
- 33:22Speaker 2: No?
- 33:23Speaker 10: He has cash, so so it's part of his cow money, right,
- 33:28Speaker 10: it's his non traceable money.
- 33:32Speaker 9: No, wait a minute, he said, as part of his
- 33:35Speaker 9: cow money.
- 33:36Speaker 10: Yeah, because he's got cows. He sells cows and he
- 33:39Speaker 10: gets cash and he keeps it kind of.
- 33:45Speaker 9: He doesn't report it. No, has there been any resolution
- 33:49Speaker 9: of either one of those proceedings today. No, have they
- 33:57Speaker 9: made any efforts to resolve this with you?
- 34:00Speaker 10: Yes, so I have an offer. It's at the House
- 34:05Speaker 10: for approval, but settlement. You have an offer of what settlement?
- 34:10Speaker 10: For sixty thousand dollars to settle the case for the
- 34:16Speaker 10: retaliatory discharge in the Congressional Accountability Act violation with the
- 34:21Speaker 10: Office of Victoria's sparks. But if I do that, then
- 34:25Speaker 10: I have to sign an NDA, and so I can't.
- 34:30Speaker 10: I can't do that.
- 34:34Speaker 9: You're saying that you were offered sixty thousand dollars only
- 34:39Speaker 9: if you remain silent about all this. Yes, do you
- 34:43Speaker 9: have any documents to demonstrate that?
- 34:46Speaker 10: Yeah? I mean right here now.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Folks, keep in mind that over the lasting year, mister
- 34:52Speaker 1: Massey has been one of the most vocal proponents of
- 34:54Speaker 1: unsealing the Epstein files and standing up for truth and
- 34:59Speaker 1: transparent and for women who have been taken advantage of
- 35:03Speaker 1: or violated.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Well, maybe that was a cover. I don't know. Again.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I spoke with Cynthia today via phone. She has committed
- 35:13Speaker 1: to doing an interview once she checks with her attorneys,
- 35:16Speaker 1: and I will be putting her on this program soon
- 35:18Speaker 1: to let her tell her side of the story, and
- 35:21Speaker 1: with that I extend an invitation to Congressman Thomas Massey

- 36:32Speaker 1: once again, at the epicenter of a global political scandal,
- 36:35Speaker 1: in a stunning admission of foreign interference in the heart
- 36:38Speaker 1: of Los Angeles County Arcadia.
- 36:41Speaker 2: That's a small city.
- 36:42Speaker 1: The Mayor Eileen Wang just resigned and agreed to plead guilty.
- 36:48Speaker 1: You're ready for this acting as an illegal agent. Rather,
- 36:52Speaker 1: she probably is an illegal alien, an illegal agent for

- 37:10Speaker 1: Right alongside Mike's son of Chino Hills. Together, they operated
- 37:15Speaker 1: a website called US News Center. While it looked like
- 37:18Speaker 1: a local community outlet, the FBI says it was actually
- 37:21Speaker 1: a mouthpiece for Beijing. Court documents reveal a pair executed
- 37:25Speaker 1: direct orders from Chinese officials to flood their site with
- 37:30Speaker 1: pro Chinese propaganda. First Assistant the United States Attorney Bill A.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Sale stated that such covert actions undermine our democracy and
- 37:39Speaker 1: represent a direct effort to corrupt our American institutions on
- 37:43Speaker 1: social media, the assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Espionage
- 37:46Speaker 1: Division says, by her own emission, Ailien Wang secretly served
- 37:51Speaker 1: the interest of the CCP. Let this serve as a
- 37:54Speaker 1: clear warning individuals who act on behalf of foreign governments
- 37:57Speaker 1: to influence our political process will be a identified, investigated
- 38:01Speaker 1: and brought to justice.
- 38:03Speaker 9: End quote.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Wang now faces and I'm going to say this only
- 38:08Speaker 1: ten years in federal prison. The City of Arcadia says
- 38:11Speaker 1: it's cooperating fully with the FBI, as the bureau warns
- 38:14Speaker 1: this case serves as a clear warning to others you
- 38:16Speaker 1: actiform powers were coming for you. The disgraced mayor of
- 38:21Speaker 1: Arcadia isn't the only corrupt politician near the city of Angels.
- 38:24Speaker 1: The grossly incompetent mayor of La Karen Bass, is also
- 38:28Speaker 1: feeling the heat as the twenty twenty.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Sixth election approaches.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Now released a recorded phone call from January fourth, twenty
- 38:37Speaker 1: twenty five, days before the fires broke out, between Bass
- 38:40Speaker 1: and a businessman named John Ayle are surfacing. In this recording,
- 38:45Speaker 1: Ale claims he personally warned Mayor Bass about dangerous wind
- 38:49Speaker 1: conditions and high fire risks three days before the blaze
- 38:52Speaker 1: is ignited. The Mayor's office particularly denying the allegations, insisting
- 38:56Speaker 1: the call was strictly about law enforcement operations at mc
- 39:00Speaker 1: arthur Park. So you listen to this call and you
- 39:03Speaker 1: decide for yourself.
- 39:05Speaker 12: If the situation is very dangerous and I would never do.
- 39:10Speaker 12: I will take the criticism before I do a publicity
- 39:15Speaker 12: stunt and frankly a press conference at this point in time,
- 39:19Speaker 12: which is be publicity, I think I don't property owners, yeah,
- 39:25Speaker 12: and the residents. I mean forty one thousand people live
- 39:27Speaker 12: within a square mile here.
- 39:29Speaker 10: Yeah, two families share one bedroom apartment.
- 39:32Speaker 9: But they want to hear that something is going to
- 39:35Speaker 9: be done.
- 39:37Speaker 10: But it's recognized exactly.
- 39:40Speaker 12: But if I have a choice between that and compromising something,
- 39:44Speaker 12: I just have to go along with it. It's not
- 39:48Speaker 12: my area of expertise. I want to make sure that
- 39:51Speaker 12: you are safe and hopefully you can read in between
- 39:56Speaker 12: the lines.
- 39:57Speaker 2: Read between the lines. It was about MacArthur Park.
- 40:01Speaker 1: You saw the FEDS were there busting stuff the other day, right,
- 40:04Speaker 1: because it's such a crap hole. Anyway, this whole controversy
- 40:07Speaker 1: rattling city hall. Los Angeles voters were supposed to see
- 40:11Speaker 1: the candidate's face off in another debate, I believe, tomorrow night.
- 40:15Speaker 1: But in a stunning move, guess what, organizers from the
- 40:18Speaker 1: League of Women's Voters officially called off the May thirteenth
- 40:22Speaker 1: forum because the mayor pulled out.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Why, oh, I'm going to.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Be in Sacramento fighting for fire funds. So yeah, I
- 40:29Speaker 1: can't do the debate.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Uh huh.
- 40:32Speaker 1: It was supposed to be with council Member Nithra Raman
- 40:35Speaker 1: and Karen and Spencer Pratt who crushed them, joined.
- 40:40Speaker 2: Me now to sound off on all this.
- 40:42Speaker 1: He represents District thirty six State Senator Tony Strickland.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Tony, nice to see you again.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Let's begin in Arcadia and then we'll move down to
- 40:50Speaker 1: La Another Democrat, another Chinese spy.
- 40:55Speaker 11: Now, you can't make this stuff up, Tan, And it's
- 40:57Speaker 11: like Diane Feinstein swallowing. And now this, I mean, you
- 41:02Speaker 11: wouldn't believe that if you read it in a book,
- 41:05Speaker 11: in a novel. This is just another example, and we
- 41:10Speaker 11: should do whatever we can to throw the book at
- 41:12Speaker 11: this mayor to send a message to everybody else across
- 41:16Speaker 11: the country that this is unacceptable. And I don't think
- 41:19Speaker 11: ten years is enough in terms of being a spy
- 41:22Speaker 11: for another country against against our country.
- 41:25Speaker 9: It's treason.
- 41:26Speaker 2: And so again, you can't make this stuff up.
- 41:31Speaker 13: And it seems to always be happening here in California.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, Hopefully they give her more than ten years.
- 41:37Speaker 1: I don't care if she comped to it and said yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 1: I did it, blah blah blah. It was just propaganda.
- 41:42Speaker 1: I wasn't like doing anything with documents or anything secret. No,
- 41:45Speaker 1: you work for the Chinese, any foreign government. You're a
- 41:48Speaker 1: trader to the nation. Back in the old days, you know, always
- 41:51Speaker 1: to do with traders and trees and its sobs. Anyway,
- 41:54Speaker 1: I'll move on to another traitorous person, and that's Ms
- 41:58Speaker 1: Karen Bass, because I believe she's been a trader to
- 42:01Speaker 1: her constituents in La. I don't know what that phone
- 42:04Speaker 1: call was about, whether it was about the crime in
- 42:06Speaker 1: MacArthur Park or it was the fires or whatever three
- 42:09Speaker 1: days before, but the bottom line is she's got skeletons.
- 42:12Speaker 2: She's way overhead. She can't run that city.
- 42:15Speaker 1: And the other night Spencer lit her and that council
- 42:17Speaker 1: woman up. I mean, everybody says he won the debate.
- 42:21Speaker 11: Well I'm not shocked that she canceled the next debate.
- 42:23Speaker 13: Right if anybody watches the watch the debate, Spencer Pratt
- 42:28Speaker 13: just destroyed his opponents, you know, because Spencer's talking about
- 42:31Speaker 13: common sense issues. Democrats, independence and Republicans looked at what
- 42:36Speaker 13: Spencer had to say, and it really shows you the
- 42:40Speaker 13: lack of leadership that Karen Bass is given to the
- 42:42Speaker 13: people of Los Angeles. And I'm not shocked and I'm
- 42:45Speaker 13: not surprised that she canceled the debate. She has nothing
- 42:48Speaker 13: to gain by going to debate Spencer Pratt. And because
- 42:51Speaker 13: he did that, he did a remarkable job. Yeah, and
- 42:54Speaker 13: then when.
- 42:55Speaker 8: It comes to the audio, we should have full transparency
- 42:58Speaker 8: on everything that has to do with these fires, because
- 43:01Speaker 8: the people have a right to know who where people
- 43:04Speaker 8: were and what they actually did moving forward.
- 43:08Speaker 1: Amen, All right, Well, we'll see if they reschedule the
- 43:10Speaker 1: debate unless they're too scared of Spencer.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Pratt, and we'll see what happened with Pratt. Yeah, and we'll.
- 43:15Speaker 1: See what happens to the American version of Fang Fang.
- 43:19Speaker 1: The ex mayor of Arcadia, Tony Strickland, State Senator California
- 43:23Speaker 1: represent the thirty six.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Thank you so appreciate you always. Thanks for having me.
- 43:27Speaker 2: I really appreciate that. Of course, stick around.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, it is National Police Week
- 43:31Speaker 1: in America, so we're going to take time out to

- 44:17Speaker 2: Welcome back to the White House.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Officially kicking off National Police Seek Last night, President Trump
- 44:22Speaker 1: hosting a dinner in the Rose Guard for national law
- 44:25Speaker 1: enforcement leaders. The event, if you don't know, honors officers
- 44:30Speaker 1: represented by groups like the National Association of Police Organizations,
- 44:34Speaker 1: the National Sheriffs Association, the DC Police Union, and the
- 44:38Speaker 1: National Border Patrol Council. Joining the President, our Vice President,
- 44:42Speaker 1: and top administration officials, including Oh I love this guy.
- 44:45Speaker 1: Borders are Tom the Pitbull Holman, FBI Director Cash Battell
- 44:49Speaker 1: as well and others. White House officials describe the men
- 44:52Speaker 1: and women that wear that uniform and serve and protect
- 44:55Speaker 1: us as heroes, affirming the Trump Administration's unwavering support.
- 45:01Speaker 2: You're never going to hear defund the police from.
- 45:03Speaker 1: The Trump administration like a bunch of wacko Democrats. As
- 45:07Speaker 1: thousands gather in DC this week, the tributes will continue
- 45:10Speaker 1: throughout the week. Tomorrow an annual candlelight vigil on the
- 45:14Speaker 1: National Mall, ensuring the legacy of the fallen and that
- 45:18Speaker 1: they are never forgotten. During the dinner, the President pointed
- 45:21Speaker 1: to recent stats on federal crime fighting, highlighting nearly two
- 45:25Speaker 1: hundred thousand criminal resignationwide and the removal of more than
- 45:30Speaker 1: six hundred thousand illegal criminal aliens. We're talking about the
- 45:34Speaker 1: ones with criminal pass not just the ones that came
- 45:36Speaker 1: in illegally. We're going about, as he calls them, the
- 45:38Speaker 1: bad ombras. The President also reaffirmed a new executive order
- 45:42Speaker 1: directing the Attorney General to pursue the death penalty for
- 45:46Speaker 1: anyone convicted of killing a cop. The President told the
- 45:50Speaker 1: assembled officers that they are quote restoring the foundation of
- 45:54Speaker 1: law and order in the country, and he promises that
- 45:57Speaker 1: he is vowed to uphold through the remainder of Police
- 46:00Speaker 1: Week and the remainder of his term as president. And
- 46:04Speaker 1: I hope so because look, I know there's always these
- 46:07Speaker 1: stories about well this cop did that and he abused
- 46:10Speaker 1: his power that. Look, there's bad apples in every profession.
- 46:13Speaker 1: Look at mine. How many fake news reporters are out there?
- 46:18Speaker 1: Why do you have malpractice insurance for doctors? There's bad ones,
- 46:21Speaker 1: there's bad lawyers, there's bad accountants. Of course, there's going
- 46:24Speaker 1: to be some bad cops. But you don't throw the
- 46:26Speaker 1: baby out with the bathwater, and you don't scream.
- 46:28Speaker 2: Defund the police. Let's send social workers out to a shooting.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Here now to remind us all about what a difficult
- 46:35Speaker 1: job is to be in law enforcement, especially these days
- 46:39Speaker 1: where everybody's got a camera, and then they deceptively edit
- 46:41Speaker 1: stuff and say, look ah, this cop treated me, and
- 46:43Speaker 1: they want to defund them. They want to put a
- 46:45Speaker 1: target on their back. I think the next time you
- 46:48Speaker 1: need one, you won't be screaming defund the cops or
- 46:51Speaker 1: calling them the P word. My pal retired Panell County,
- 46:54Speaker 1: Arizona sheriff and now Republican candidate for the fifth congressional
- 46:58Speaker 1: district in the Grand Canyon State, pall Mark Lamb back
- 47:01Speaker 1: on the program. Sheriff, You're always sheriff, to me, even
- 47:04Speaker 1: if you're retired, how you doing, Sheriff.
- 47:06Speaker 2: I'm doing good.
- 47:07Speaker 14: I'm out here in Washington, DC, celebrating Police Week and
- 47:10Speaker 14: knocking out some campaign meetings while I'm at it.
- 47:13Speaker 2: Wait, did you get to go to the White House
- 47:14Speaker 2: dinner last night for Police Week?
- 47:16Speaker 9: I did not.
- 47:17Speaker 14: I would have loved to have been there, but I
- 47:19Speaker 14: was on my way into DC last night.
- 47:21Speaker 2: I knew a lot of people that were there. And
- 47:23Speaker 2: this is why we.
- 47:24Speaker 14: Love President Trump in this area, because he has been
- 47:27Speaker 14: so supportive of law enforcement over his two administrations. This
- 47:31Speaker 14: is exactly why Joe Biden not one time, Dan did
- 47:35Speaker 14: he invite the sheriffs to the White House.
- 47:37Speaker 9: Not one time?
- 47:39Speaker 14: And I went eight times under President Trump when I
- 47:42Speaker 14: was there.
- 47:42Speaker 1: You know, it only makes sense because and I like
- 47:45Speaker 1: what you've always said, Like the sheriff Chad Bianco says this,
- 47:48Speaker 1: you say this other sheriff's. I know, you guys are
- 47:51Speaker 1: like one of the last local lines of defense, right
- 47:54Speaker 1: you're holding up the constitution. You're following the law to
- 47:58Speaker 1: the letter, and you're protected and servant. I don't not
- 48:00Speaker 1: say city cops or state troopers don't do it, but
- 48:03Speaker 1: you know, county sheriffs are out there not just patrolling
- 48:06Speaker 1: streets and keeping the peace. You guys are doing the investigations.
- 48:09Speaker 1: You guys do a lot of stuff. And I've always
- 48:12Speaker 1: said I don't know why more politicians don't get involved
- 48:15Speaker 1: with meeting with law enforcement and trying to figure out
- 48:18Speaker 1: what you guys and gals need on the streets to
- 48:20Speaker 1: make your job easier and safer while protecting us.
- 48:24Speaker 2: And so when we've heard this.
- 48:25Speaker 1: Last ten years, and it probably goes further back around
- 48:28Speaker 1: the Obama regime, of this defund police crap coming from
- 48:32Speaker 1: the Democrats and the left, it just discussed the hell
- 48:34Speaker 1: out of me.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Mark.
- 48:36Speaker 14: Well, look, first of all, these folks don't believe in
- 48:38Speaker 14: the country that we believe in. They're moving closer to socialism,
- 48:41Speaker 14: they're moving closer to communism.
- 48:43Speaker 9: They would love federal.
- 48:44Speaker 14: Law enforcement, not local law enforcement, because they understand, especially
- 48:48Speaker 14: during COVID with guys like me, when we weren't having
- 48:51Speaker 14: any part of the nonsense that was going on with
- 48:53Speaker 14: the lockdowns and other things, it was really a lot
- 48:56Speaker 14: of the sheriffs that started standing up and saying we're
- 48:59Speaker 14: not going to this, We're not going to impede on people's.
- 49:01Speaker 2: Rights, and the far left knows this.
- 49:03Speaker 14: We are an impediment to their long term plan of
- 49:07Speaker 14: socialism in this country, which is why the left pushes
- 49:10Speaker 14: so hard for this defund the police narrative.
- 49:13Speaker 2: And they never go.
- 49:14Speaker 14: After criminals and they don't want to go after illegals
- 49:16Speaker 14: either that are in this country illegally harming American citizens.
- 49:20Speaker 14: And this is what we believe in, and this is
- 49:22Speaker 14: what President Trump believes in.
- 49:24Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and like I said at the opening,
- 49:26Speaker 1: you knew what I was talking about, mark right. And
- 49:28Speaker 1: I only put that little preface out there because anytime
- 49:32Speaker 1: I support cops, there's always that one or two naysayer, viewer,
- 49:39Speaker 1: keyboard warrior that likes keep licking the boots. Cops are bad,
- 49:43Speaker 1: Cops abuse their power. Cops do this, duh. Everybody in
- 49:47Speaker 1: a position of power these days, somebody abuses. That doesn't
- 49:51Speaker 1: mean everybody in that profession does. And I appreciate and
- 49:55Speaker 1: thank the men and women in law enforcement because let's
- 49:57Speaker 1: be real, and one time or another, almost every American
- 50:01Speaker 1: is gonna pick this thing up and hit.
- 50:03Speaker 2: Nine to one one.
- 50:03Speaker 1: Whether the car's broken down and a trooper pulls alongside
- 50:07Speaker 1: the road to help you out, or you're in a
- 50:08Speaker 1: domestic violence situation, somebody robs your business, you name it.
- 50:12Speaker 1: One of these days you're gonna have to pick it
- 50:14Speaker 1: up and hit those three numbers.
- 50:15Speaker 2: And if you think.
- 50:16Speaker 1: Cops are so bad, tell you what block nine to
- 50:18Speaker 1: one one from your friggin phone mark.
- 50:22Speaker 14: Look, they will all call the police, everybody, even though
- 50:25Speaker 14: the defund the police, all the people that hate the police,
- 50:28Speaker 14: the first number they're gonna call if something goes wrong
- 50:30Speaker 14: is the police. Look, our profession has such a low
- 50:34Speaker 14: sustained complaint rate. I think it's like point zero zero
- 50:38Speaker 14: zero three percent. We respond to millions of calls a year,
- 50:41Speaker 14: and the men and women do a phenomenal job. Are
- 50:44Speaker 14: there bad apples, sure, and we do the best we
- 50:46Speaker 14: can to weave them out of our own profession.
- 50:49Speaker 9: Yep.
- 50:49Speaker 14: But doctors mountpractice deaths. Not to take away from them,
- 50:52Speaker 14: I'm not trying to disparage them, but there's two hundred
- 50:54Speaker 14: and fifty thousand death but from the malpractice a year.
- 50:59Speaker 14: We've got teachers, one after another, continually getting in trouble
- 51:02Speaker 14: for violating children and abusing children. And yet we continue
- 51:07Speaker 14: to look at police who want to put cameras on
- 51:09Speaker 14: police Look, here's how.
- 51:11Speaker 2: We can start.
- 51:12Speaker 14: Let's start by removing qualified immunity from judges who have
- 51:15Speaker 14: all day long to look at a case and determine it. Well,
- 51:18Speaker 14: we respond and make split second decisions. I say, the
- 51:21Speaker 14: men and women of this job, and we have such
- 51:24Speaker 14: a high percentage of good people in this profession and
- 51:27Speaker 14: such a low percentage of bad apples. We are far
- 51:30Speaker 14: better than most professions.
- 51:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when your the officer involved shootings where
- 51:34Speaker 1: somebody had a weapon. People who's going to complain cops
- 51:35Speaker 1: are killing people on the streets. It's literally like forty
- 51:38Speaker 1: five or fifty or something. Every the number is low
- 51:41Speaker 1: as heck. And great point. Great analogy with other professions
- 51:45Speaker 1: who do have a lot of bad actors to the
- 51:47Speaker 1: tunes of tens of hundreds of thousands of bad actors.
- 51:50Speaker 1: And so I just I want to do something this
- 51:52Speaker 1: week and mark you with the perfect guy, just to
- 51:53Speaker 1: remind folks that, hey, you're always going to call on
- 51:56Speaker 1: a cop at some point in your life. So just
- 51:58Speaker 1: because you might have had a bad EXCEP experience, you've
- 52:00Speaker 1: got a traffic ticket you didn't like, or maybe a
- 52:03Speaker 1: cop overstepped the boundaries with his authority and trinity like crap.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Then fine, report them, get rid of that one. But overall, let's.
- 52:10Speaker 1: Remember, especially this week when we're honoring police, to remember
- 52:14Speaker 1: that we need them. They're out there protecting and serving
- 52:17Speaker 1: our communities and we need them. Mark, I'll give you
- 52:19Speaker 1: the final word on this week honoring law enforcement.
- 52:23Speaker 14: Amen, Dan, and I couldn't have said it better, and
- 52:25Speaker 14: thank you for all the men and women who put
- 52:27Speaker 14: on the badge.
- 52:27Speaker 9: But this week is above.
- 52:28Speaker 2: And beyond remembering them.
- 52:30Speaker 14: We were remembering those who lost their lives in the
- 52:33Speaker 14: line of duty, those families who lost their loved one,
- 52:36Speaker 14: who will never want again come home and hang in
- 52:39Speaker 14: the uniform up for the bad job.
- 52:40Speaker 2: They gave their life in this.
- 52:42Speaker 14: Profession to protect Americans and American citizens. And this week
- 52:46Speaker 14: we honor those who do this job, and even more so,
- 52:49Speaker 14: we honor those who lost their lives do this job,
- 52:52Speaker 14: and we honored their families for paying the ultimate sacrifice
- 52:56Speaker 14: for the American people.
- 52:57Speaker 2: Amen.
- 52:57Speaker 1: And it's a fitting timing to have this week because
- 53:00Speaker 1: Memorial Days right around the corner, and being a veteran myself,
- 53:03Speaker 1: a lot of cops are vets. It's kind of ironic
- 53:05Speaker 1: that within the same couple of weeks. We honor people
- 53:07Speaker 1: who protect and serve, either here on the homeland or abroad,
- 53:11Speaker 1: and we better never ever forget those sacrifices. Sheriff lamb
- 53:15Speaker 1: we love you. Look up the website. Help him out
- 53:17Speaker 1: with his candidacy. He's going to be the next congressman
- 53:20Speaker 1: for the fifth district in Arizona.
- 53:21Speaker 2: I know it, I feel it my bones. Mark, you
- 53:23Speaker 2: got it.
- 53:23Speaker 14: Take care, brother, Thank you, brother, marklamb Us, marklamb Us,
- 53:27Speaker 14: thanks for happing me on.
