BREAKING: TRUMP DEPLOYING US MARINE CORPS TONIGHT
FULL TRANSCRIPT
They could arrive as soon as tonight
under the northern command. Wow. Trump
is indeed sending 500 Marines to the LA
area to protect federal buildings and
personnel. So, are they just going to
station them on federal property?
Probably that already led Trump to
federalize the national land. Look at
this. Marines are deploying. The move
comes in the wake of weekend protests.
Marines are deploying. The decision to
send active duty forces marks an
escalation. White House didn't respond.
The troops won't engage with protesters.
Okay, so they're just kind of going to
be like a like a, you know, dressing.
It's kind of like, see, we're in charge
here. Okay, that makes sense. They could
arrive as soon as tonight under the
Northern Command. Wow. Which was
responsible for US military operations
in North America. That's incredible.
Federal agents arrested several
immigrants during a target operation on
Friday. We saw this. We talked about the
protest. Wow. I wonder what people are
saying on X about that. Full Marine
Battalion has been mobilized to Los
Angeles. No way. Guard troops over the
weekend without Governor. Oh, CNN's
going to have a field day.
Gavin Newsome's consent. In this new
move, active duty military members are
being deployed as a show of force
against US citizens. CNN's Natasha
Bertrand is live for us at the Pentagon.
Natasha, what are you learning?
Well, Brianna, this is something that
Secretary of Defense Pete Hexiff had
previewed over the weekend. He said that
if necessary, uh, he would deploy the
Marines to Los Angeles to help I has it
been necessary because I know the
National Guard being deployed is
disputed as necessary. Obviously, Trump
says it was. Newsome says it wasn't. I
don't mind the National Guard being
deployed, but now they're saying, "Oh,
we're going to send Marines if
necessary." And they're sending the
Marines interesting federal agents with
handling the protest there. And it
appears now that these Marines,
according to our sources, they have been
mobilized. These 500 Marines, a full
Marine battalion based out of uh 29
Palms, California, which is just outside
San Bruno, about an hour away from Los
Angeles. They have been mobilized and
they are gearing up to go and uh help
ICE agents as well as other federal
officials deal with these protests uh in
Los Angeles. importantly, they're going
to be bolstering as well the National
Guard uh guardsmen and women who have
been activated in Los Angeles by
President Trump. But as you said, it is
a significant escalation of the
president's uh use of the military as a
show of force against these protesters.
Um it's and and again here they show the
National Guard in front of a hospital,
but what they're really trying to say
is, hey, like don't mess with our
buildings. Don't mess with the
courouses. Don't mess with federal
property. uh you know uh Social Security
Administration or the IRS buildings or
Department of Homeland Security
buildings or whatever. That's what
they're saying.
Embassies, they're really trying to show
don't mess with us. It's really a show
of power is what it is. I don't really
think it's necessary, but it's a very
politically charged message as well
because what you're doing is you're
saying Governor Nuomoe has failed so
much. This is the pitch, right? Governor
Nuomo has failed so much that not only
did we have to send the National Guard,
we had to deploy the military because
Karen Bass and Gavin Nuskum, as Trump
would say, is are are so incompetent.
For the first time in forever, we had to
use the National Guard and the military
just to maintain order. It's a show of
force. It's a show of Trump basically
saying, "I'm the boss. Don't dick around
when I'm the president." That's what
he's doing. Really not clear, you know,
the last time uh Marines were deployed
to help essentially with riot control.
Though it's unclear at this point just
what their actual tasking will be.
Typically, when if they are deployed to
these situations, it is expected that
they will operate in much the same way
that the National Guard does. Doing
things like perimeter security, maybe
some crowd. Yeah, it's and and again,
even the Wall Street Journal says
they're not going to be involved in like
dealing directly with the protests. It's
it's the tanks on the streets. Not
really, you don't even need the tanks,
but it's the Humvees showing up on the
streets. It's the, you know, air force
buzzing the area, right? Like, not that
they're necessarily going to do that,
but it's the intimidation factor. And
it's not just I honestly I don't even
think it's for the protesters. I think
who it really is, it's for the
California voters. It's for
Californians basically getting sent a
message by the Trump White House, a new
sheriff is in town. That's basically
what they're doing here. Uh that's my
that's my take, my opinion. And now I
actually think it's fantastic because I
totally agree that politics in
California sucks. That's why I ran for
governor against Newsome. And I pitched,
you know, ending highspeed rail,
financial education in schools, uh trade
schools. We pitched all these things
before it was popular. I actually ran on
deploying the National Guard to help us
solve our homeless problem. So like this
is like right up my alley because I'm
like, "Yeah, like we should send a
signal of power and make sure that we
aren't being agitated by, you know,
things that we can't control. We have to
maintain order so we can maintain our
economy so people want to come visit uh,
you know, Los Angeles. You go to
Hollywood and it smells like piss and
it's unsafe. people aren't going to come
visit anymore, right? Uh and so this is
different though because it's not the
state taking its own control because
Gavin Newsome is obviously lashing out
and suing Donald Trump over the sort of
usurpion of the National Guard, which
the California government should be
operating, but Newsome refused to
because he said local law enforcement
had it under control, which maybe they
did. But the whole point again is this
is Trump going, "Daddy's in town.
Daddy's back. Clean your up."
That's basically what Trump's doing. And
it's a powerful message now because of
the crappy politics in California. I
always I always like to say it's one of
the best places except for LA. Except
for it's one of honestly even even LA
gets some credit. It's one of the best
places to buy real estate. It's one of
the reasons I like buying real estate in
California because the politics sucks so
badly that they fail to build new
houses. So rioters burn down houses or
you know wildfires burn down
houses and you can't build new homes.
It's actually like really sad. It's not
like a laughing thing but it's just it's
a way of saying like the politics sucks
so badly. It's a great ironically great
place to invest in real estate because
they keep reducing the supply while
refusing to let the supply go up. You
know Texas and Florida let supply go up.
They let people build but then prices go
down like what we're seeing now with the
COVID bubble. California hasn't had as
much of that issue, especially coastline
real estate. So, it's like the world's
craziest pitch for house hack. Go to
househack.com, invest in our
nonacredited round and earn up to five
or earn a 5% yield and the upside of the
stock. All right, let's listen to the
rest of this control. But the rules of
engagement here, we are told, are still
being finalized and defense department
lawyers are also looking at the kinds of
rules of engagement these Marines will
have as they encounter protesters
possibly on the streets of Los Angeles.
But again, this coming uh at a very very
tense moment with the governor of
California uh suing the Trump
administration over of course the
deployment of the National Guard by
President Trump uh against his will
there in California.
Yeah. Well, against it's it's funny they
say against his will because it's it's
not like I I don't think that Newsome's
like, "Oh, no. Don't don't do it at
all." Uh in fairness, to some extent he
potentially is and and we've seen some
clips where he's like, "Oh, we don't
need it. We're fine. This is just
creating chaos. But I think it's more
like what matters more than that
argument is the ego, right? This is a
blow to Newsome's ego. Look at this. A
Marine Corps helicopter was just spotted
flying over LA protesters. Again, this
is a message of power. This screams
American superiority. We won't let your
bull crap politics control our country.
This is a symbol of power. you know a
subscriber
uh in some particular branch of military
I won't mention which uh you know show
gave me a nice close demonstration of
one of the um uh well a certain type of
really fancy helicopter and when those
suckers fly over you at a low altitude
it's like holy smokes it it is like all
inspiring and you're like okay my
molotov cocktail ain't going to do
anything here look at this for For those
who don't remember, in May 1992,
following the Rodney King riots in LA,
Marines from Camp Pedleton out just
north of San Diego were deployed to the
city to help restore order. Don't waste
your time with propaganda about how
using the military is fascism, right?
And that's what's going to happen is
it's going to get branded as fascism.
That's actually what the Democrats want
though. So that because Democrats are
going to use that to run against Trump
in 2026. Oh, he's a fascist. Trump is
going to go, I want law and order.
Ultimately, the people pick, right? It's
like, oh, I don't I don't like all these
guns and military. And on the other
side, it's like, well, I also like law
and order, right? So, it's ideally you
have the middle and the cops just handle
everything. But then again, like where
are the cops when we have Whimos getting
blown up, right? They're there, but you
just they're just too many people. And I
think that's why Donald Trump has this
actually relatively strong case against
Newsome that hey, like we're not going
to be able to uh defend this this
lawsuit uh that we're bringing against
Donald Trump. you know, the the we'll
we'll put a clip of it in here, but
earlier uh note to the editors, it was
about what 58 minutes or so into, uh
into our our uh California, uh you know,
attorney general clip there, we we saw
the attorney general of California say,
"Oh, you know, our police are fine. We
we go from level one and then we go, you
know, to the next level and we have a
process for these things." Well, the
process is causing more damage on the
streets and Trump's like, "Not in my
country." And keep in mind, that's also
important because it matters to the
trade negotiations. You know, if America
is a clown show in media across the
world and everybody's like, "Oh, look,
California is burning down uh and and
it's, you know, a lawless uh the United
States is a lawless area, you know, on
the front page of newspaper articles,
then we look like a clown show. you
know, we don't maybe maybe they don't
need to negotiate with us because maybe
we're not the greatest country. So,
somewhat interesting. Anyway, uh that's
my take on that. All right, back to
where I was. All right.
