Best of the Program | Guest: Julio Rosas | 6/9/25

Charlie Sheen is an icon of decadence.

I lit the fuse and my life turns into everything it wasn't supposed to be.

He's going the distance.

He was the highest paid TV star of all time.

When it started to change, it was quick.

He kept saying, No, no, no, I'm in the hospital now, but next week I'll be ready for the show.

Now, Charlie's sober.

He's gonna tell you the truth.

How do I present this with any class?

I think we're past that, Charlie.

We're past that, yeah.

Somebody call action.

Yeah, aka Charlie Sheen, only on Netflix, September 10th.

Hey, on the podcast today, we're all about L.A.

and the riots and not just what happened, but the perspective on why it's happening.

Who's paying for this?

And did the Constitution come into play?

You know, Cosie posse,

yeah.

Can the president just send in troops to California?

The answer is yes, but we explain why.

It's a very narrow path, but he walked it perfectly over the weekend.

We have all of this and so much more on today's podcast.

Now let's get to work.

So I was glued to the news this weekend.

You know, not the tinfoil hat streaming from a basement kind of news, but the shiny corporate news, you know, the we've got a hair budget bigger than NASA network kind of stuff, you know.

And they serenaded me with this heartwarming tale of mostly peaceful protests that were happening in Los Angeles.

And it was truly inspiring, truly inspiring.

Those politicians in California just keeping people safe and fighting for the average person, you know.

Meanwhile, over the anchor's shoulder, it was like an audition reel for Mad Max Fury Road.

I don't know if anybody...

caught that, you know, a guy in black block gear just yeeting a congregation, a concrete slab at federal agents like he's you know gunning for gold in the anarchist Olympics.

But

it was great.

It was great.

Dumpster fire blazing.

Dude in a Che Guevara crop top trying to set a

police car on fire.

But it was mostly peaceful.

And I think what screams mostly peaceful is the cloud of tear gas.

Maybe that was just some sort of dystopian

vape ad that was running in the background.

I'm not really really sure, but with a straight face, don't worry.

It's mostly peaceful.

You know, it's hype for the part where it's totally and completely not.

Kind of like saying, you know, imagine that.

Remember the, oh, the humanity guy.

It's kind of like saying if he was, you know what, the Hindenburg mostly flew, except for that tiny explosion part at the very end, but it mostly flew.

Yeah, it really did.

You know, my blind date was very, very charming until he tried to stuff me into an ice bath and cut out my kidneys.

Oh, and speaking of ice, the Titanic mostly floated, except for that little part at the end when it didn't.

You know, those little parts seem to be important, historically speaking.

I don't know.

I mean, yes, you had a very lovely dinner.

You had an awful lot in common.

But when he tried to put you in the ice

bath, all of that kind of doesn't count anymore, you know?

And I love the fact that they're calling this just spontaneous and grassroots because absolutely, that's what I was thinking.

Totally grassroots, especially with their signs that say, you know, smash capitalism or whatever they were saying.

I don't know if you saw this, but printed in crisp HD, you know, was.

I don't remember what exactly it was, but it was like comradeskinkos.com,

where you can get a discount now, you know, for bulk riot boards.

But it said the communists and social printed by, paid for by.

I mean, they're proud of the fact that they're communists.

And the flags, oh my gosh, it was so patriotic.

Well, I mean, unless you were an American, you know, we got a parade of

parade of banners.

I'm hearing stuff in my ear.

Parade of banners from El Salvador and Cuba and Venezuela.

The Palestinian flag, that always screams peace to to me, you know.

You know,

it was good.

It was like they raided a UN gift shop and said, give me all the flags from dirtbag communist countries that are failing and terrorist states.

I need all of those flags.

Meanwhile, the news anchors clutching their pearls and the PhDs in their creative delusion insist these are just...

terrified everyday Americans.

Really?

Because they didn't look terrified.

Wait, you mean the people that are having the Molotov cocktails thrown at them?

Those were the terrified Americans?

No, that's not what they meant.

Okay, Janet, sure.

I mean, assuming that Americans show up to protest in tactical vests,

waving foreign flags and, you know, mispronouncing proletariat.

I mean,

maybe that's the average American.

I don't know.

And here's my favorite part of the circus this weekend, and we're going to get into this deeply a little later on in the program.

75% of the spontaneous rage fest

funded by tax dollars.

75%

of what you saw funded by tax dollars.

That's great.

That is great.

Politicians there working overtime so some trust fund Trotsky can molotov a cocktail,

a Dunkin' Donuts, you know, the only place you can get a decent cup of coffee.

Wait, you're burning down the coffee shop now.

Why are you burning down the coffee shop?

And all the politicians are cheering.

I mean, it's great.

It's great.

These politicians, you know, they're the same, the same people that spent the summer of 2020 letting

your city burn down some sort of a, I don't know, communist barbecue pit.

And while everybody on CNN was talking about hope and healing, it's the same thing.

It's the same boomers that in, you know, back in the 70s were jetting off to liberate communist guerrillas,

you know, with nothing but a tie-dye shirt and a dream.

We're going to do it.

This is utopia.

Now they're back sipping taxpayer-funded oat milk lattes

and

just

opining on how peaceful this is.

And look at that.

My gosh, look at the art.

That was a police car.

Now it's a avant-garde bonfire art piece that we're just doing the installation on now.

Yes, yes, this is how progress happens.

It's not progress.

This is not progress.

This is communism.

This is somebody trying to overthrow the United States of America.

You know, somebody should point out, hey, I don't know, setting buildings on fire, setting police cars on fire, throwing concrete slabs at police officers and government agents, agents,

probably not peaceful.

You know, but you say that and boom, you're a fascist bigot, you know, or just, God forbid, somebody who notices things and is still attached to reality.

But relax, gang.

It's just, you just squint, squint at the flaming Starbucks and

it looks like it's just pretty and mainly peaceful.

And you got to squint a little harder at the looted target and

all of that.

But it's just vibes.

It's just revolutionary taxpayer-funded vibes.

That's all it is, gang.

That's all it is.

So I just want to,

it's great.

It's great.

Now,

this all started apparently because we were going after these poor

illegals that are here just because they're poor and they're...

They're just looking for a better life, maybe more people to rape.

I'm not sure.

Did I say that?

That's all wrong.

Let me give you the list of the people that they arrested.

This is what started it, okay?

You have Rolando Enriquez, 55 years old, just came here for a better life.

He's from the Philippines.

Now, he wanted to start all over.

He has a criminal history that includes burglary in Ontario, California.

He was sentenced to four years in prison.

But it wasn't just that.

He also, I like this one, sexual penetration with a foreign object with force and assault with the intent to commit rape in the city of Pomona, California.

He was sentenced to 37 years in prison.

But

I don't know how they count time in California, but I don't think he was in prison for 37 years.

He was arrested on Saturday and served a notice to appear.

That's an outrage.

How can we possibly, how could we possibly, all he was doing was inserting foreign objects in people.

That's all he was doing.

You know, with force, with an intent to rape.

But who hasn't done that?

I mean, we've all made mistakes.

Then you have Jose Ortiz, 42 of Ecuador.

He was arrested on Friday, served administrative deportation.

His criminal history includes being sentenced for more than 11 years in prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilos of cocaine.

So he's just a drug dealer, like America doesn't have drug dealers.

We don't deport all of our drug dealers, do we?

Again, he was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.

My question is.

Why wasn't he in prison?

I'd like to know that one.

Then you have Victor Martinez.

He's 44.

He's from Mexico.

He was arrested, alleged active gang member of Bratz 13.

But he's only,

he only has a criminal history that includes sexual battery in Los Angeles.

He had 135 days in jail, five years probation.

Now, see, that's the California that I know and love.

Give him a few days

in the clink and let him go.

Let him go.

Sentenced to 90 days in jail, three years' probation for receiving known or stolen property in Norwalk, and sentenced to 365 days in jail and four years probation for petty theft.

Now, that's much more like your average Californian, right?

I mean, he was only stealing stuff,

you know,

and maybe

receiving some stolen property, but no big deal.

Then you have Victor Aguilar, 32.

He's from Mexico, arrested on Friday.

Criminal history in Pasadena that includes being sentenced to 112 days in jail for possessing unlawful paraphernalia.

Stu, what do you think unlawful paraphernalia is in California?

I mean, I could come up with a lot of things.

You know, I'm here in Idaho.

You're in Texas.

I could come up with a lot of things that might be unlawful

paraphernalia.

But in California,

what would that be?

The Constitution?

Would that be unlawful?

Okay, all right.

Good, good, good.

Any GOP bumper sticker or anything like that?

He was also sentenced to 16 months in jail for possessing controlled substances.

He was four years, sentenced for four years behind bars for assault with a deadly weapon.

And then 364 days.

Not a full year, 364 a full year would have been madness but 364 days in jail for obstructing a public officer uh he's also an alleged active member of the uh via boys gang which i think has a k-pop group uh from the 90s i'm not sure uh then you have delfino martinez 51 of mexico he was arrested on friday served notice to appear his criminal history includes assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury in los angeles He was sentenced to a year in jail.

Okay, so then you have,

holy cow.

Now, why didn't we have this at the beginning?

Jeez, now I know

why everybody's so upset.

They arrested Jesus.

Now, I didn't know Jesus

had a middle and two last name, Jesus Alan Hernandez Morales.

So I'm not sure if it's the same Jesus or not,

but he sounds like he, I mean, he was arrested and sentenced in Las Cruces.

The crosses, hello, this is what this is all about, people.

239 days in jail for conspiracy to transport an illegal migrant.

So all he was doing is what Jesus would have, no, what Jesus did do.

He was smuggling people in the back of his car.

And I'm sure it had nothing to do with sexual favors or anything like that.

Also,

he discharged a firearm at an inhabited dwelling and a vehicle.

What?

What?

This is so ridiculous he discharged a firearm at an inhabited

an inhabited dwelling.

You mean

so it wasn't just a flop house.

No, even flop houses could be inhabited.

So it was someplace where people were dwelling and he

accidentally

discharged a fire.

In other words, he pulled the trigger of a gun.

Okay.

Also,

four years of probation,

but this was only for battery on a spouse.

or a cohabitant.

I love that one.

A spouse or a cohabitant.

We're not really sure how they define their relationship.

Sentenced to four years also for willfully cruel,

willful cruelty to a child

and 10 days for driving under the influence.

How is this guy out so much to keep doing all of these crimes?

I mean, how is that happening?

You do one, you should, it should prevent all of the other crimes from happening.

You know?

Also, three years, sentenced for three years behind bars for assault with a semi-automatic firearm, which is like,

might as well be a bazooka to people in California, and being sentenced to three years behind bars for personal use of a firearm.

And I want you to know that was not in an inhabited dwelling.

That was just outside someplace in the wild.

We don't even know where that happened.

So it could be even worse.

So these are just the people that were arrested on Friday that caused all of these riots.

And you can see why, how the average person, as Karen Bass says, is so concerned that they could be next.

Well,

if you are inserting foreign objects into a cohabitant

in an occupied dwelling with a firearm,

yeah, you might be next.

You might be next.

But is that a bad thing?

Gonna get into that.

And so much more how Californians are paying for this coming up.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

Realestateagentsitrust.com.

Now back to the podcast.

If you're a Californian, the current L.A.

riots

is an example of your tax dollars at work.

Here's why I can say that with real confidence.

Let's start here.

The Coalition for Human Immigrant Rights, CHIRLA, C-H-I-R-L-A,

one of the key players in fomenting the violent response to immigration enforcement actions over the weekend.

Last hour, if you missed any of today's podcast, make sure you go back and listen.

Last hour, I went through who these people were that we rounded up.

They were violent, extremist,

rapist,

burglars,

people that have beaten up their wives, doing cruel things to children, you name it.

That's who this is all really about.

Okay, this is not about scooping up people in the middle of the night.

So, who are, who's Churla?

Well, it's an LA-based nonprofit.

They take radical positions on immigration.

For example, it led the 2018 campaign to abolish ICE.

It currently leads the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network, which gathers intel about enforcement actions and deploys activists to respond to, in other words, to put our police officers and ICE federal agents in danger by exposing them in advance.

They also have strong ties to the Democrat Party in California.

They have supported the election of Democrat candidates throughout its lobbying arm and throughout its history.

It has a really close relationship with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

The organization also has a close relationship with organized labor in the state.

Now, wait a minute.

You don't mean like

SEIU.

I'll have Jason give me an update on SEIU, the head guy of SEIU.

If you followed me back when we were on Fox and back in those days on radio, you know the role of SEIU and how bad this organization really is.

They are, I believe they are just,

insurrectionists through and through, communist through and through, but that's my opinion.

The organization also has a close relationship with the organized labors,

which in turn, they become a major financial supporter of Democratic politicians.

On Friday, Chirla held a rally protesting ISIS enforcement actions and the arrest of the SEIU president for obstruction.

Now, the incredible part is that Churla's activities are primarily funded by

you if you are a taxpayer in California.

We have obtained a financial audit that shows that for fiscal year ending 2023, $34 million from the state, mostly through the Department of Social Services, accounts for 72% of the total revenue.

This is nearly a three-fold increase over the previous year.

Now, all of this information is coming from

what's her name?

Laura Powell.

Laura Powell.

She is the,

what is her handle?

G-O-P.

She's a civil liberties attorney

in California.

Okay.

They also received $450,000 in federal contract in 2023,

which Mayor Bass publicly took credit for on helping secure.

DHS froze funding in February, which prompted a lawsuit from Chirla.

The DHS was also funding this group.

DHA then canceled the contract.

The lawsuit was then dismissed.

This is the military, educational, industrial complex, all of this stuff.

This is a non-profit industrial complex.

Eisenhower did not include the non-profit industrial complex because we hadn't really thought of it yet back in the 50s.

But that's exactly what is going on here.

Now, there are other people involved.

If you are

in doubt at all

on what is actually happening in California, uh, I want you to listen this week because this week and on Wednesday, our Wednesday TV show, I'm going to go through all of this and I want you to have a friend watch it, somebody who's not completely lost, but still maybe a little confused.

They must understand what they're seeing is a show.

This is all planned.

This has nothing to do with Trump.

This has nothing to do with illegals that are here, that are good families.

It has nothing to do with this.

This is about a color revolution.

Now, let me tell you about one of the guys involved in this.

He's a billionaire from America, Neville Roy Singham.

He is

kind of a mysterious figure that made a lot of his fortune in part due to his ties with communist China.

He now lives in China and has emerged now now as a key funder of the radical groups inside the United States that are pushing for the violent protests.

And he's got a very strict pro-Beijing kind of script.

He made his wealth by selling IT software business to an investment firm partially owned by the Communist Party in China.

He is a major funder of a group called the People's Forum.

Hmm.

The People's Forum.

They're not hiding in plain sight there.

Below are excerpts from a very long expose that Just the News published in March this year.

Hang on, I'm just reading my notes from

Jason.

Meet the pro-CCP Marxist revolutionary group behind the Mohammed Khalil protests of 3-2025.

Jason, remind me who

Mahmoud Khalil is.

He was the guy, Columbia University, that said all that off.

Give us a quick thumbnail of him.

That's it.

Yeah, he was one of the central figures when they were

shutting down Colombia.

There was a much larger

group, which we'll go into later, that were doing this thing called Shut It Down for Palestine.

Again, another tie to socialists, Marxists, for some weird, odd reason, a heavy focus on Maoism in particular.

Of course.

But yeah,

that's who that guy was, and that's also who the Trump administration was looking to deport.

So the People's Forum has been a driving force behind the protests condemning the detention and possible deportation of the pro-Palestinian Columbia graduate student, Mahmoud Khalil.

There are scores of videos posted by the forum on social media detailing the group's role in organizing, promoting, attending, and leading all of the pro-Khail protests.

They did a rally outside the courthouse.

They did a sit-in at Trump Tower.

Khalil's legal team has addressed the crowd at a protest organized by the forum.

This is all from that American billionaire that now lives in China.

The forum is led by a guy named Milano Delos Santos.

And I'm saying that as white as a white man can possibly say it, because that's who I am.

Also,

personally tweeted multiple times to promote the forum-led protests for Khalil.

Major patron for the People's Forum is the communist businessman, Neville Roy Singham.

For months, we've been the target of a campaign that alleges our funding comes from dark money.

A few years ago, we met Roy Singham, a Marxist comrade who sold his company and donated most of his wealth to non-profits that focus on political education, culture, and internationalism.

This is from the People's Forum.

Singham married Jodi Evans.

Who is Jodi Evans?

Well, she's the co-founder of the radical left-wing group Code Pink.

Her group touts itself as anti-war, but it's also very pro-China and very pro-very anti-Israel, pro-strangely

pro-Islamists.

The New York Times reported that Singham works in Shanghai, that his efforts are linked to

the Chinese Communist Party.

This is from the New York Times, that he has attended at least one CCP workshop on promoting the party globally.

The New York Times also reported that he provides backing for the People's Forum.

The Free Beacon has reported that key leaders for the forum serve in top position at Singham's Justice and Education Fund.

The New York, I'm sorry, the Free Beacon also reported that the network run by Singham is also behind Breakthrough Media and Dongsheng News, who both push pro-China narratives and whose content is reshared by the forum here in the United States.

Free Press also reported that Singham and Evans have donated over $20 million to the People's Forum from 2017 to 2022 through a series of shell organizations and donor advisory groups, accounting for nearly all of the group's funding.

The Free Beacon also reported in 2024 the People's Forum had encouraged anti-Israel activists to recreate the violent protests of the summer of 2020, just hours before the rioters' storm and occupied a building at Columbia University campus.

So these are some of the people that are involved.

Again, you also have the federal government involved.

DHS,

under Maorcus,

was also helping fund, I think it was Churla, wasn't it?

Churla.

Yeah.

Tell me that connection.

So, yeah, so

Churla,

and I just lost it on my notes too.

But Churla was receiving not only state taxpayer funds, but they were also under Karen Bass received another grant from the federal government from the Department of Homeland Security.

Reports say that that grant specifically was due to lobbying efforts from Karen Bass.

Karen Bass, in case you don't remember who Karen Bass is, she's not just the LA

mayor, and we'll get into her later this week, but I want to just recap who Karen Bass is.

She's just not an incompetent Yahoo.

She is somebody who is very important to the movement, and we'll explain here coming up in just a second.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

This is going to come as a surprise to you,

but

the Democrats have decided to sue Donald Trump over sending the National Guard to

California over the weekend.

Quote, according to Gavin Newsom, he flamed the fires and illegally acted to federalize the National Guard.

No, he really didn't.

I mean, I could go over it with you, but I already did.

So, if you missed any part of the podcast, just go to hour one of the podcast and I go through the Constitution and

how the National Guard can be deployed and what has to be met, et cetera, et cetera.

And Donald Trump met those standards, and it's very, very clear.

But why confuse the California court with facts, you know what I mean, and reason?

What's really going on in Los Angeles, I think the guy who's got the biggest death wish out of all of us, he's always, I'll go, Julio Rosas is our Blaze Media national correspondent.

He's worked for Town Hall, Washington Examiner,

Independent Journal Review.

He was also one of the initial

Manhattan Institute fellows with Christopher Ruffo.

So, I mean, he's been in the fight for a long time.

He did a book, I think it was in 2020, The Gaslighting of America, and

it was all on what was happening in 2020.

And I remember something was happening in the summer of 2020 that kind of looks like what's happening now in L.A.

Julio, welcome to the program.

You are in L.A.

now?

Yes, yeah.

I'm currently in the area.

So tell me what your week.

Tell me what your weekend was like.

Well, Glenn, I have to be honest.

I was on vacation and I picked the wrong time to try to get some RR.

But as soon as things started happening, I said, you know what?

This is what we've been waiting for.

Because I was in Los Angeles earlier this year after Trump was inaugurated, and there were protests even then.

I know that Democrats are saying, oh,

if you get them to admit that there's riots, which has been very hard to do, apparently, they'll say, well,

it's Trump's fault.

But that's why there's unrest and disorder.

But

there was unrest and disorder in Los Angeles months ago in direct response to Trump finally being back in office.

I was outside Los Angeles City Hall, and there was a big school walkout, and a big fight happened, and a high schooler got stabbed in that.

That's not the fault of the president.

That's not the fault of the National Guard.

And so what's happening now, what I've been telling people, is that Los Angeles specifically,

especially in a case like this, They've been waiting for months for an opportunity to act out.

You know, you got all the

faux

controversies over the deportations from the quote-unquote Maryland man, Garcia, and all that.

And they've been waiting for their turn to be targeted so that they can, you know, in their eyes, you know, fight back against Trump and his administration.

And so,

of course, you know,

that's not to say that,

you know, ICE shouldn't be doing operations here.

But this was to be expected.

They have been preparing and what has been playing out in the streets, you know, violently is exactly what they were hoping for because they want to,

again, in their eyes, defend the community and fight back against fascism and racism.

So, Julio, it's amazing to me because you look at the people.

Let me just give you a couple.

One of them, 55-year-old guy from the Philippines, criminal history, burglary,

four years in prison for burglary, sentenced to sexual penetration with a foreign object and to force an assault with an attempt to rape in the city of Pomona.

Sentenced to 37 years in prison for that, arrested on Saturday.

That's one of the guys they're complaining about.

Another guy, criminal history

includes sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for conspiracy to possess with intent or distribute five kilos of cocaine.

History, another one includes sexual battery in Los Angeles.

Also sentenced for three years probation for receiving

stolen product,

obstruction of an officer, assault with a deadly weapon.

I mean, all of these, I mean, that's who they picked up.

These were not, you know, the regular people.

How are the Democrats getting away with supporting the worst of the worst and everybody just looking the other way?

I mean,

I hate to just repeat kind of the meme, but it really, Trump derangement syndrome.

Trump was great at moving the needle within the Republican Party on immigration and actually taking it seriously.

The side effect of that was the Democrats said, well, we have to be the exact opposite of Trump, which is why the Biden-Harris administration opened the border.

Okay, well, now that he's back in office,

it doesn't matter.

To them, it does not matter who they're picking up.

They can pick up the worst person on earth, and they're still willing to fight tooth and nail.

And we've seen that

even before this operation here in Los Angeles.

And this is really the fault of the mainstream media.

This is the fault of Democrats in Congress

by whipping people up into a frenzy over every little thing whenever there's an immigration enforcement action.

And so that's why I'm just concerned that this is going to continue, not just in Los Angeles, but elsewhere whenever there is

a big mobilization, right?

Oh, it will.

The National Guard, he sent in the National Guard.

And let me just give you the code right from the book.

National Guard, President of the United States, can send the National Guard into a state without a governor's consent, but only under specific legal conditions, Constitution, federal statutes, and legal precedent give the President this authority, primarily in cases of insurrection, rebellion, or when federal rights are being denied.

The request, if without a request, Section 252,

the President can send in the National Guard to enforce federal law if unlawful obstructions or rebellion make it impossible to enforce federal law in that state by regular means.

The president then can send in forces without consent, rebellion or denial of constitutional rights, if there is an insurrection or domestic violence that hinders the execution of federal laws or results in the denial of civil rights protected under the Constitution.

I mean, it is very clear the president can do this.

And in any other time in our history, everybody, all Americans would say, yes, thank you.

Send in the federal troops to stop this.

It's clearly

an insurrection,

but not the case now.

People in California are actually paying for some of this through their tax dollars.

Yeah, absolutely.

And it's evidenced by the fact that they're not waving American flags.

They're waving flags of foreign countries.

And I think, and this shows how President Trump has improved because in 2020,

he encouraged the governors in these blue states, mostly blue states, to put out the National Guard.

And eventually they did.

But that took a little bit of time.

And that's why I think it shows how

the leadership is much more decisive this time around, and supported by, I would say, by a better cabinet as well,

who who say, you know what, we're not going to do this again.

We're not going to wait for anybody to dither.

Because, I mean, Minneapolis was, I mean, the reason why that got out of control is because Tim Walls just did not decisively say, okay, we'll send in the National Guard.

And so this

I just really need people to understand is that this is what the far left in particularly Los Angeles, but and also other areas, they've been waiting for this moment.

And so I think that

it sends a strong, clear message that, hey, we're not only going to send in federalized National Guardsmen, but we're going to send in the Marine Corps.

And, you know, Glenn, I was in the Marines once at one point.

And

they're ready to go too.

They're ready to go to take care of business just because

just like with my vacation, you ruined their weekend.

So they're not in the best of moods.

They got to get called back because it takes time to get worked up for a deployment of any kind.

But

it's unfortunate that all of this started because ICE and HSI were taking the people into custody

like you were listening, right?

People that shouldn't be here, number one, but also number two, while they were here doing these horrific crimes against other immigrants, primarily, but also U.S.

citizens too.

So, I mean,

I think Stephen Miller was, you know, I just saw his video again today when he was at the White House saying, you know, I couldn't pay any member of the media here to live next to these people, even if the house was free and you wouldn't have to pay any property taxes.

We couldn't pay you enough money because you guys actually all live in these in these actually nice areas away from them.

And that's what really makes me upset is because that is absolutely true.

They, you know, I

worked in DC, the bubble and all that, and that's absolutely true.

No one wants to live next to these people, but

because of their sensibilities and their and their misguidedness, they they still think, well, other people can because at least we have the money to not do that.

Julio, do you have any idea what Gavin Newsom is doing with all this?

Because he's spent the last few months trying to convince people he's right down the middle.

He's anti-woke.

He doesn't want men playing in women's sports and all this.

He seemed to be setting himself up for some move to the middle for a presidential campaign.

And then his reaction to this just seems to be, I don't know, some level cheering it on.

Yeah, I mean, he's peacocking.

I mean, he's saying, oh, Tom Holman, arrest me.

Just get this over with.

Pete Hegsteph, what a joke.

You know, he's doing his typical posturing.

But I think this, again, shows that in a time of crisis, you can either have a Democrat who's going to sympathize with the violent people that are ravaging American streets, or you're going to go with the other side.

And I think, especially, because it's not just him, they released that letter, that statement from all the Democratic governors.

So that, you know, J.V.

Pritzker, Josh Shapiro, you know, other people that might want to make a run in 2028, this is going to come back to haunt them because, surprise, surprise, most Americans don't agree with just letting rioters

rampage through the streets while waving foreign flags.

So

I guess J.D.

Vance is going to have to thank Gavin Newsom for

providing him with more ammunition

when that time comes.

But yeah, I mean, it just further proves that there's a reason why California is in the state that it's currently in, which is not good.

I used to live out here at one point, and I understand why people love it for its beauty,

for what it once was, but it is

far from that today.

And that is directly because of the policies in times of peace and in times of chaos.

Tell me what

is expected today.

Is this going to continue to go on night after night?

Is it going to

have respite?

what is

I I I think so.

I mean I w it depends to see

I mean it's kind of crazy that the the call to action yesterday was so early in the day because usually these things are kind of reserved towards more of the evening because in the evening they can get away with more stuff.

So I the we're still we're still waiting on word to see what kind of the the time is.

But no, I think if things are to be expected to continue,

and and it just depends on

it just depends on how how

many

additional resources are put into

the Los Angeles area.

I know that the reporting is 500 Marines with 2,000 National Guardsmen.

We didn't really see the National Guard out there, and that's just because under their rules, they are mainly protecting

federal locations.

And that does free up officers to take care of the rioters locally.

But

in my opinion, I don't think it's going to really truly end in terms of the violence.

Obviously, people can protest peacefully.

But in terms of the violence, I don't think it's going to end until there is a massive response because Los Angeles is a big city, right?

I mean, the county is huge.

So you can, sure, you can secure the downtown area, but if something happens in Santa Monica or Glendale or

wherever, that's going to you're either you're going to have to draw those resources and those personnel away and then exposing what they were once securing, or you're going to have to bring in more people so that you have all your bases covered.

It is, it's absolutely incredible to watch.

And if he does send in the troops, you're going to see Portland and Seattle

and Minneapolis and everybody else start to react exactly the same way.

I mean, I think this is,

you know, have you seen any of the coalition between the Palestinian, Islamicist,

communist, socialist kind of

activity, because

this all seems to be rolled into one.

And

I think this is their tactic to get them to 2028, quite honestly.

It's just set the whole country on fire.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, yeah, because

these are always a coalition of far-left beliefs when it comes to racism, imperialism, colonialism, white supremacy.

I mean, to them, it's all

one in the same.

So, yeah, we saw a few Palestinian flags, saw a few kafiyas, people wearing the, you know, they cover their faces.

Yeah.

And some of the graffiti

mentions that issue and the courts is like, oh, well, I'm glad we didn't forget that because clearly that hasn't been given enough attention these past two years past two years.

But no, I think you're right.

And we're we're seeing in other cities the the same kind of far left network

promoting protests.

I I saw one that's supposed to be in Chicago.

There's one supposed to be in Tampa.

I don't expect Tampa to get out of control because they actually take care of writers

head-on.

But no, Glenn, you're right.

So basically,

what I'm hearing is that I'm not going to go back to my vacation while anytime through this summer.

No, you're not.

Julio, thank you so much.
