Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program.
It's 800-941 Sean if you want to join us.
We will preview our trip.
I've only I've been to every state in the country except Alaska.
This week will end that after this week, God willing, I will be in Alaska for the Trump Putin summit, and that means I will have been at least once to every state in the entire country, which I'm very proud of.
And the weird thing is I love Alaska.
I'm obsessed with its rugged individualism.
I love shows like Life Below Zero and I Love Deadliest Catch when you know these crabers go out in the Bering Sea in the most unbelievable conditions, and they go out for King Crab, and we've we talked to Mike Rowe about this last week.
Um so we will give you a big preview of all of that coming up in the course of the uh program today.
We have more of the big gerrymandering fight.
We have Zoran uh Marxist Mamdami news that we're gonna share with you.
Uh as we're coming on the air here, I'm not gonna go to it now.
Um we have the D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser reacting to President Trump this morning, announcing that he will federalize D.C. police, deploy National Guard troops in an effort to fight crime.
Uh the president will be has invoked Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which would place the city's Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control.
You know, and I'm listening to the mayor.
You would think that this is a city that is free of crime and and one of the safest places, best places on earth, and nothing is further from the truth.
She's talking about how great they're pre-K starting at three is, and you know, we have the best, the best, the best, everything, and and this is, you know, we don't have representation, and and she's turning this into we should have DC statehood, etc.
etc.
Let me just start with the reality.
If you look at capital cities around the world and their homicide rate per hundred thousand, by far and away, DC has the highest rate, and countries that you would not expect are far lower than what's going on in D.C. The homicide rate for 100,000 people in D.C. is 41.
The next highest is Uruguay, 16.1% per 100,000.
The next highest is Baghdad in Iraq, 15.2 per 100,000.
Now remember, DC, 41.
The next one is Nigeria, 15, Panama City, Panama, 14.3, Brazil, 13, Costa Rica, 13, uh Bogota, Colombia, 11, Bolivia, 10.7, Mexico City, Mexico, 8, compared to DC's 41.
Lima, Peru, 7.
Ethiopia, 6.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 5.5.
Estonia, 5.5, uh, Kenya, Nairobi, 5.
Havana, Cuba, 4 per 100,000, the murder rate.
San Salvador, El Salvador, 1.9.
Istanbul, Turkey, 1.8.
So the president is looking at these numbers and he's saying, you know what?
This has got to stop.
And the president pointed out he called it Liberation Day in D.C. and says we're going to take our capital back.
He then criticized the crime in DC, compared the crime statistics to other cities around the world, other capital cities around the world.
And then he pointed to the attack on this guy from Doge, better known as online as Big Balls.
And this was a guy that was trying to help out a woman that was being brutally beaten in an attempted carjacking and the an attempted killing of a congressional intern in D.C. in a shooting that took place, among other incidents.
And the president also said he's going to get rid of the poverty and the slums in D.C. He said at his press conference he wants to change the statute on bail in D.C. I mean, this is another one of these defundism no bail law of reimagine the police insanity cities.
And he said the radical left city council adopted their no cash bail, and every place in the country you have no cash bail that where you have it, it's a disaster.
And he's not wrong.
And he said somebody murders somebody and they're out on no cash bail before the day is out.
We're going to end that in Chicago, he continued.
We're gonna end, we're gonna put we're going to change the statute.
I spoke with Pam Bondy and Todd Blanch.
I talked to everybody.
We will change the statute, and I'm gonna have to get Republicans to vote because Democrats are weak on crime, and they are weak on crime.
And the reaction is is very predictable, which I'll get to in a second.
He said that DC has become unsafe, dirty, and disgusting.
It's covered in graffiti.
I don't know when's the last time he's been to New York City, but we're talking about beautification of D.C. And you know, people come from all over the country, Iowa, Indiana, they come, they get mugged.
Not gonna happen.
Keep coming, and by the time you get your trip set, it's gonna be safe again.
And he's gonna he's gonna put enough police presence.
Now, oh he's declaring martial law, the left is going crazy.
No, he's not.
How many more people have to be mugged?
How many more people have to be raped?
How many more people have to be killed?
And why don't Democrats care about it?
That's what I'd like to know.
Um the president said I was told I heard a number of what, 3,500 police.
He said they're inadequately staffed, is 3,500, he said, and I thought you were only going to say 30 policemen or men and women.
You have 3,500, but he said we need more.
We need a lot more.
And he said the administration is going to be removing homeless encampments in D.C. I mean, you have homicide, sexual abuse, assault with a dangerous weapon, 534 incidents as of this morning, and 898 robberies as of this morning, 99 homicides as of this morning, and one total violent crime, 1,586 as of this morning.
Uh, and these numbers are out of control.
Property crime, 14,000 ninety-three.
You know, theft, auto theft, three thousand seven hundred and twenty, other theft, seven thousand twenty-three.
It's insane.
And you know what?
I think the country's capable of doing better.
My answer, you know, and then you have predictable people like Al Sharpton was a big opponent of Rudy Giuliani and Stoppin' Frisk.
They went from 3,000, close to 3,000 murders a year, down to about 300 because police, number one, they got the police, the number of police levels up higher.
As of today, they're about 11,000 short of where they need to be, which is around 41,000 officers, you know, to cover the you know 10, 12 million people, however many people live in New York City.
And, you know, Al Sharpton fought Rudy Giuliani every step of the way, but lives were saved, and a lot of lives were saved in predominantly minority neighborhoods, and you would think that that would be a goal of everybody, that that's not something anybody should disagree with.
And they use crime statistics as a means of where they were gonna concentrate a more heavy police presence.
But I guess we shouldn't be too surprised.
Reverend Al is is, you know, actually objecting to Trump's crackdown on rampant crime.
Well, what's his answer?
How is it all these blue cities, blue states?
They seem to care the most about people, and their silence is deafening.
Uh anyway, New York Times uh and the Washington Post report the Trump administration will put 120 FBI agents from their regular duty and deploy them on night patrol with law enforcement officers in D.C. Now, if you have that much crime going on in your city, uh you would you you would think you'd welcome that with open arms, but apparently not.
Remember, one of the things that they had an opportunity before January 6th, knowing so many people were coming to Washington, D.C., it was Donald Trump as backed up by then acting defense secretary Miller, uh backed up by his uh his chief of staff, Cash Patel, backed up by Mark Meadows, backed up by General Milley and Trump himself.
They had tried to call up the National Guard, knowing so many people were coming.
No, they didn't want it.
And Muriel Bowser put a stop to it.
And even Nancy Pelosi in her own words admitted, oh, yeah, this is my fault.
I don't know.
Did you see the picture of this doge guy, big balls and and the crap that he got beaten out of?
You know, why why do we accept all of this homelessness?
You know, this this goes back to what I have said about where Nancy Pelosi lives in in San Francisco.
One mile from her home in a in a really wealthy gated community with multi-multi-million dollar mansions on one side, and on the other side of this is an encampment where people are shooting up in the street, defecating in the street, urinating in the street.
And I'm like, well, why don't you get together with your millionaire friends?
Everybody pitch in a hundred grand or whatever it takes.
You build a homeless shelter, you feed them two meals a day, you give people a place to shower, and maybe you hire a couple of mental health experts to help out people with drug addiction or mental health issues that they might have and actually do something because liberals are only generous with other people's money.
There was an article I read today, Hoover Institute.
Despite California spending a whopping 24 billion dollars on homelessness since 2019, homelessness increased by about 30,000.
How do you get it so wrong spending that amount of money, just like the train to nowhere?
Anyway, so the president announced the federal takeover of the DC police department.
I guarantee you the police department's probably going to be happy.
And if you get rid of defund dismantled no bail laws, they'll even be happier.
So the president tackling what is a problem.
Now, what what is the alternative to this?
To continue to let things spiral out of control.
Homes get robbed, people get robbed, people get carjacked, people die, people get murdered, people get raped.
At what point do you say maybe it's a good idea to have more of a law enforcement presence for the safety and security of the law abiding people that live in our towns and cities?
You know, what is it when is America going to come to grips with the fact that police officers, by and large, there are exceptions.
By and large, the ninety-nine percent of them are there to put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe and secure.
There are a few bad apples, definitely.
He few bad apples everywhere.
But you got to root them out also.
Um anyway, he declared his intention to relocate DC's homeless population far from the U.S. Capitol.
I mean, they have all of this money.
We're generous liberals.
I thought they cared so much about other people.
But you see, the left is only generous with your money.
If they care so much about homelessness, one mile from Nancy Pelosi's house, we sent our cameras there.
We have the video tape.
People shooting up drugs, defecating in public, because there's no place to go.
She lives with millionaires.
The president talked about looking into her stock investments.
Apparently the most success, one of the most successful stock investors in the entire country.
Um, we'll give you a preview of this Trump Putin summit.
Um, I don't really know how we're going to define winning.
I do know this.
I do hope the president is successful.
Now, if you look at the president's track record, the president's actually been pretty successful at bringing peace to the world, and he's he really has um he really has gone a long way in helping to bring peace around the world.
I mean, when India and Pakistan and their tensions were flaring up, he got involved and he was able to put a quick end to that.
Twelve days with Israel and Iran, he was able to put a quick end to that and knock out Iran's nuclear facilities.
Rwanda and the Congo, he was able to put an end to that conflict.
Serbia, Kosovo, Thailand, Cambodia, and on Friday, Armenia and Azerbaijan, and don't forget Egypt and Ethiopia, that was the number seven.
I mean, that's a lot thought that he's had.
Now, I do think a cer a lot of things have happened that have created an environment, not the least of which is the trade deal that the president struck with Western European allies and nearly a trillion dollars in energy commitments that they're going to buy their energy from the U.S. instead of buying it from Putin and Russia, which has only been funding his war machine.
Secondly, the president putting the 50% tariff on India if they're going to continue to purchase cheap energy from Vladimir Putin, you know, as soon as you start hitting Putin in the pocketbook, that then reduces his capability in terms of being able to fund his war machine.
And that's exactly what is going to work with Iran too.
I mean Iran was on the verge of bankruptcy until Joe Biden became president.
Anyway, we'll give you a preview of all that we also have new king Rich Lindsey Graham on all of this and it's in keeping with the president's with President Trump's doctrine, which is no forever wars.
I 25 now to the top of the hour.
Glad you're with us happy Monday.
There really isn't any such thing as a happy Monday but anyway glad you're with us.

NMLS 18234 NMLS consumer access dot orgas birthday today she's off can't believe it she's only 28 years old isn't that what she told oh she said 21 I think today it was pretty funny.
I don't know if you're happy about you talking about her age well she said she's 21 I'm just taking her at her word I'm sure she wouldn't lie about something like that.
And meanwhile she's got kids older than she is just saying just pointing that out Vagrant drug addicts are now having sidewalk sex on the streets of New York I've read this in the New York Post today.
I get to I get the hard addition even in the free state of Florida the New York Post every day and they have their taxpayer funded safe injection site has now reached a depraved low.
So the New York Post sent out reporters and you have addicts so zonked out.
They got this new drug that's zonking people out even more than fentanyl, if you can believe it.
And they discovered people right in front of other right in broad daylight are routinely having sex outside at the doorstep of neighbors.
And neighbors are afraid because they don't want to deal with people whacked out on drugs.
And so they have to endure the X-rated free for all.
Anyway, the Post witnessed...
this madness firsthand near on point's East Harlem headquarters on a recent Wednesday afternoon as this pair were I'll use their words co-joined for 15 long minutes and kept going as pedestrians awkwardly walked past the guy was just doing his thing looking around wasn't afraid of anything I couldn't believe it.
I I just couldn't believe it said one eye witness that find it revolting who has not to be identified can't really blame them for not wanting to be identified the guy finished and he just starts zipping his pants and walking away and The woman was still bent over, wondering what was going on.
And after he got maybe three yards away, she said, Hey, hey, hey, that's it.
And he said, Come on.
And then she pulled up her pants and ran behind him.
One neighbor says, quote, it's disgusting.
He lives across the street from where this scene took place.
Government backed shooting galleries down the block, attics giving clean needles, other paraphernalia to snort, smoke, inject.
They're drug of choice.
It opened in 2021, along with a second location in New York and Washington Heights.
And anyway, the nonprofit on point, on point, has hauled in a total 16.4 million dollars in taxpayer funds from New York City's Department of Health, more than half coming from New York's share of the opioid settlement funds from the company that developed OxyContin, whose company was found guilty of criminally misbranding the drug contributing to the opioid crisis.
I don't know if you followed that story.
That was a pretty wild story.
Anyway, New York City also shut down their last illegal immigrant hotel.
They shelled out a whopping hundred and seventy million dollars to these crime-ridden shelters for illegals.
The illegal Biden Harris Majorcus uh illegal that was unvetted that killed Rachel Morin, the mother of five sentenced to life without parole.
I wish we had the death penalty.
This is the Maryland case.
More than 1,600 illegal ill uh immigrants arrested on in Long Island, New York.
I grew up in Long Island, including many MS-13 gang members, murderers, and international fugitives.
That's in Long Island.
Bruce Blakeman is doing a really good job.
He's the Nassau County executive out there.
He struck a deal in February that set aside 50 county jail cells for illegal immigrant detainees.
So far, it funneled more than 1,400 of them, picked up all over New York City and through have gone through the facility.
Now it's just like, you know, if you listen to the conspiracy theorist, Rachel Maddow, they're either in terms camps or concentration camps.
And you get one Nazi analogy after another, it's insane.
Um anyway, we'll get back to that in a second.
But we got a lot of other news.
All right, so let me give you a preview of what I think is going to unfold this week.
Now, let me start out by saying, and I think this is critical, is that the war between Russia and Ukraine?
This is entirely a war that started on Joe Biden's watch.
If you remember when Putin was amassing troops along the Ukrainian border, if you remember, and I'll show you a map on TV tonight, and the map shows how much territory Russia has taken.
It's not as much as you think, but it's still a lot.
Now, you can make the argument that, for example, the Donbass region, and I'm I'm putting aside Crimea.
That was annexed in 2014.
If we start arguing about 2014, they're not going to get anywhere.
But that happened under Obama and Biden.
But Putin is amassing military troops and military hardware all along the coast the all along the border with with Ukraine.
And Joe Biden never picked up the phone and called Vladimir Putin and said, What are you doing?
And there were people that were warning.
It was so obvious what was going to happen.
It was not.
It was pretty commonly known that Putin had territorial ambitions as it relates to Ukraine far beyond Crimea.
And that's where Donald Trump in his first term said, Not on my watch, not happening.
You take you get that out of your head.
And nothing happened in the Trump first term.
Anyway, so Joe Biden, you'd think he'd pick up the phone and say, Vladimir, what are you doing?
I don't think he was cognitively capable of doing that, and I don't think Putin would have cared anyway.
And long story short, you know, Joe Joe Joe said two things just before the invasion.
Well, what's your what are you what words do you have for Putin?
Don't.
Remember, don't.
Kamala Harris repeated, don't.
Oh, that really, I'm sure it put the fear of God into Vladimir Putin.
And the next thing he said, but what if they invade?
Well, it depends if it's a minor incursion or not.
Russia will be held accountable if it invades.
And it depends on what it does.
It's one thing if it's a minor incursion, and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, etc.
So it's let's be very clear here.
President Trump is trying to clean up Joe Biden's mess.
I mean, he inherited all this.
Now, it's interesting that President Trump has has spent a lot of political capital around the world with great success.
When India and Pakistan had their flare up, he was able to put a quick end to that.
When Israel and Iran were going at it, he was that was a 12-day war, it ended.
And we also we got involved and took out their nuclear sites, which we had to do.
The president tried to work out a peaceful deal with Iran.
The mullahs, number one state sponsor of terror, weren't able to do it in keeping with the Tr Trump doctrine.
Yeah, you know, some people interpret wrongly the Trump doctrine to mean isolationism.
It's not isolationism, as evidenced by his first term.
Because the ISIS caliphate built out all during the Obama Biden years, and Donald Trump systematically, without much fanfare or credit, wiped out the entire caliphate.
He ended it.
He took out Solomani on that tarmac and wiped out the number one terrorist in the entire world, you know, that led all the terror efforts for the number one state sponsor of terror.
He took out Baghdadian associates.
He also dropped the mother of all bombs on Afghanistan.
He's not an isolationist.
And I agree with the Trump doctrine completely.
But he also believes in no forever wars, which you can define as you we can't go back to the days of what went on in Iraq.
Now, granted, you know, modern military weaponry has become way more sophisticated.
Technology has advanced incredibly, and I keep arguing if people will listen to me that future wars are not going to be fought on a battlefield, they'll be fought in air-conditioned offices and people will be pressing buttons, and whatever intelligen you might need on the ground will be on the ground.
But very limited, you want you're not going to see, I don't think, again, in our lifetime, boots on the ground the way we once did.
Um, and I I think that things are changing rapidly, especially in light of artificial intelligence.
So now Trump inherited this.
Now he's trying to get involved.
Let me play Trump from earlier today.
He was asked about this, and he said, I'm not going to tell Putin you're gonna I'm gonna tell Putin you gotta end this war.
I mean, look at this weekend.
Innocent men, women, and children are dying.
And and let me also be clear, Putin is a murdering dictator thug, and if he had territorial claims that he felt were legitimate, there were far better answers than doing what he's done in Ukraine.
Listen.
And I'm gonna be telling him you gotta end this war, you gotta end it.
And he wasn't gonna mess with me.
He was this war would have never happened.
You know, we had a discussion about it one time, and we never had that discussion again.
Would it never happen?
All right, so they're gonna meet in Alaska.
We'll be there broadcasting Thursday and Friday of this week.
And then he went on to say, um, he's not gonna make the deal.
Then he's gonna talk to Putin, call Zelinsky, call European Union leaders, and anyway, and try and make a deal.
Here's what he said.
I'm gonna meet with him.
We're gonna see what the parameters are, and then gonna call up uh President Zelensky and the European leaders.
Right after the meeting, yeah.
And I'm gonna tell him what kind of a deal.
I'm not gonna make a deal.
It's not up to me to make a deal.
I think a deal should be made for both.
I think Russia has to get back into building their country.
It's a massive country.
I think they have 11 time zones, if you can believe it.
It's a massive, it's a by far uh from the standpoint of land, it's by far the largest.
They have tremendous potential in Russia to do well.
They're not doing well, their economy is not doing well right now because it's been very well disturbed by this.
It doesn't help when the president of the United States tells their largest or second largest uh oil buyer that we're putting a 50% tariff on you if you buy oil from Russia.
That was a that was a big blow.
And then they say, gee, he wasn't so tough.
Nobody else would have done that.
And I haven't stopped there.
I mean, look, I was all set to do things far bigger than that.
But I got a call that they'd like to meet, and I'm going to see what they want to meet about.
I'd like to see a ceasefire.
I'd like to see the best deal that could be made for both parties.
You know, it takes two to tango, right?
All right.
So the president look, what this evolved into under Biden, to be very blunt, was a proxy war between the U.S. and Russia.
Because Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, they were providing for free, even though we have 37 trillion in debt, all of the weaponry to Ukraine.
European Union, as usual, didn't step up and do their part.
It's their continent.
They've got to be part of the solution, also.
I think it's very smart of the president to involve them.
Although I'm very disgusted with most of those leaders because they now, like people like Emmanuel Macron, want to recognize Hamas, ignoring the fact that their own charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
But putting all that aside, so what is winning going to look like?
Now, I'd say going into this on Friday, there's probably a 25% chance that a Putin's going to be unreasonable, that Donald Trump's going to get up and walk away from the table.
If you ever read the art of the deal, never want to deal that much and be willing to walk away up until the last second.
I don't think he'd have any problem saying like Reagan did in Reykjavik and get up and walk away from the table.
I don't think you'd have any problem at all.
I don't think that's what he wants.
I don't think that's what anybody wants.
But, you know, the thing, what what brought Putin to the table?
What got his attention?
Well, the tariff deal with the European Union where they're going to spend nearly uh uh what a a trillion dollars on American energy.
Well, that's money that Putin was using to fund his war machine.
The second thing is the second action that took place is the 50% tariffs on India.
That played a big part in bringing Putin to the table.
Um now the president, unlike Biden Harris, yeah, he's uh I will and I'll give credit to the Ukrainian people for fighting valiantly after they were invaded.
But at the end of the day, we can't be fighting a proxy war.
At least Trump is now selling them the weaponry uh rather than giving it to them.
You know, I think what I don't know, like an area like Donbas, which was like the population was 80% Russian national.
I don't think that's going back to Ukraine if I had to guess what's going to be part of a finalized deal.
If I'm Ukraine, and if you look at the map, they they'd still have most of their country.
If I'm Ukraine in this deal, rather than risk being totally annihilated over time, I would want more than anything else, I would want security guarantees.
I would want a stronger relationship with the United States.
I'd want to rebuild the military to really create a deterrence to prevent Russia from ever doing this again and not having a third invasion.
I won't, you know, but you know, at least the president's giving it a try, where others I don't think are capable of it.
Anyway, 800 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Man, we have so much other stuff to get to.
The left going crazy on gerrymandering.
We got, you know, Kami Mamdanny.
We got Marxist Mamdanny, uh, J.D. Vance warning about Obamagate indictments that are coming.
