Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Jettie and no he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 3: If you stand in the way of your enforcement operations,
Speaker 3: you know you could be subject potential to arrest. Are
Speaker 3: you saying that about Mayor Bass and Governor news Are
Speaker 3: they at risk of being arrested?
Speaker 2: And I'll say about anybody you cross that line. So
Speaker 2: that's Tom Holman saying to Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 2: you cross that line of not enforcing federal law and
Speaker 2: then we're going to have to do something about it. Well,
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom had an opportunity there. You know, he wants
Speaker 2: to be president of the United States. We've only played
Speaker 2: the short version of this clip. I haven't heard the
Speaker 2: long version. Our executive producer hands and thinks it's a
Speaker 2: good opportunity to hear Gavin Newsom if he's got the
Speaker 2: chops to succinctly just you know, take take advantage of
Speaker 2: a moment where all eyes are on him. Here we go.
Speaker 4: He's a tough guy, wasn't he do that? He knows
Speaker 4: where to find me. But you know, what Lay your
Speaker 4: hands off four year old girls that are trying to
Speaker 4: get educated. Lay your hands off. These poor people are
Speaker 4: just trying to get.
Speaker 2: Live their lives.
Speaker 4: Man, trying to live their lives, paying their tax. Has
Speaker 4: been here ten years. The fear here, the horror, the
Speaker 4: hell is this guy? Come after me, arrest me. Let's
Speaker 4: just get it over with. Tough guy. You know, I
Speaker 4: don't give a damn, but I care about my community.
Speaker 4: I care about this community. The hell are they doing.
Speaker 4: These guys need to grow up, they need to stop,
Speaker 4: and we need to push back. And I'm sorry to
Speaker 4: be so clear, but that kind of bloviating is exhausting.
Speaker 2: So Tom, arrest me, let's go. I'm sorry to be
Speaker 2: so clear. I'm sorry you are so clear, and I'm
Speaker 2: about those four year old girls out. I want them deported. Gavin,
Speaker 2: You're right, that's the issue here. I was terrible. That
Speaker 2: was that was not great. So Holman implied that if
Speaker 2: anyone actively interfered with federal officers doing their jobs, they
Speaker 2: would be arrested. And that's what Gaby was saying. Come
Speaker 2: and get me, tough guy, you know, or I am
Speaker 2: coming get me. Let's get this offs over with i'd
Speaker 2: be a spectacle anyway. Sorry to be so clear. Well,
Speaker 2: we're not used to it. That's certainly true. Our old
Speaker 2: friend David Drucker with I think an obvious take, but
Speaker 2: one that is friends in the mainstream media probably don't
Speaker 2: understand or dig and.
Speaker 5: So sure, now that people are watching what it means
Speaker 5: to engage in a mass deportation policy, now that the
Speaker 5: government is putting boots on the ground, if you will,
Speaker 5: and I use that term carefully to try and actually
Speaker 5: impact illegal immigration, opinions could change. But just assuming that
Speaker 5: this is two thousand and a twenty twelve, and that
Speaker 5: never mind everybody else in the United States, that the
Speaker 5: Hispanic community is going to be reflexibly opposed to what
Speaker 5: they see is a wrong assumption to make at the outset.
Speaker 2: Yeah, David Drugger having to carefully hint since he's on
Speaker 2: MSNBC in the morning, but saying, yeah, I don't think
Speaker 2: Hispanics are going to have a problem with booting out
Speaker 2: the convicted criminals from their neighborhoods right right, based on polling,
Speaker 2: that's true. When you get into some of the non
Speaker 2: criminals who get routed up to that'll be a little
Speaker 2: more controversial. True, sure, I don't like that. Yeah. And
Speaker 2: at the same time, you can protest like crazy in
Speaker 2: the US and ask for redress agrievances and make speeches
Speaker 2: and organize people to vote and the rest of it.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent in favor of that. Speak your mind, folks,
Speaker 2: speak your mind. But you're setting fires to cars and
Speaker 2: hurlan chunks a concrete at cops. Uh huh. That's when
Speaker 2: the stickwork begins. As they expectorate, we initiate. That's what
Speaker 2: I say. They loogie, we boogie. If she has a hawker,
Speaker 2: we called cocker. That's the way it goes from here
Speaker 2: on out. So David French of The New York Times
Speaker 2: tweeted out, peaceful civil disobedience is honorable. Violence is beyond
Speaker 2: the pale. This is basic stuff. Yet I see people
Speaker 2: conflate violence and civil disobedience all the time. They are
Speaker 2: not the same obs. I tell you what, Conservative America,
Speaker 2: how about we all agree on this. We call out
Speaker 2: political violence every time either side like this for instance,
Speaker 2: you can't justify it. There is no justifying it. We're
Speaker 2: lucky no cops were killed. I saw a video that
Speaker 2: was hair raising. It's unbelievable. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 2: We've got this under control. It just became a problem
Speaker 2: because Trump weighed in, Oh my god, we're all watching
Speaker 2: the current LAPD chief just said, agitators are coming in
Speaker 2: from outside. I just like you predict. Hello, Mark, Now,
Speaker 2: wherever there is energy of protests, they want to be
Speaker 2: because they want to amplify it, they want to turn
Speaker 2: it violent. They want to provoke a massive crackdown. It's
Speaker 2: the same philosophy of like the lunatic Tim McVay and
Speaker 2: his cabal of idiots who bombed the Mirrow building in
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. They thought it would spark, you know, a
Speaker 2: popular revolution, especially if there was a crackdown. That's what
Speaker 2: the antifa types want. They want the cops to wait
Speaker 2: in and crack heads. Well, you round them up, and
Speaker 2: you ended in as quickly as you can.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Mark Coppert and his news roundup came with a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of examples of the mainstream media having the completely
Speaker 2: wrong take on this story or certainly not reflecting like
Speaker 2: eighty percent of America, like this ridiculous clip from ABC
Speaker 2: seven in Los Angeles, large of people.
Speaker 3: It could turn very volatile, if you move law enforcement
Speaker 3: in there and the wrong way and turn what is
Speaker 3: just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn
Speaker 3: into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers.
Speaker 2: And demostrats could turn volatile. The video attached to that
Speaker 2: voiceover is a whole bunch of cars on fire and
Speaker 2: debris and graffiti, just smoke everywhere. Could turn volatile if
Speaker 2: you send in the cops when people are just enjoying
Speaker 2: watching cars burn. That is unbelievable. So is this Alzheimer?
Speaker 2: So is this from political? The headline grabbing incidents and
Speaker 2: images of residents clashing with ICE agents have provided an
Speaker 2: opening for Democrats to put the Trump administration on the
Speaker 2: defensive provided in opening for the Democrats to put the
Speaker 2: Trump administration on the defensive. That's how you look on it,
Speaker 2: and look at this, go ahead and try, yeah, good
Speaker 2: with that. Well, Halprin's point is you're just wrong, as
Speaker 2: he said, on the substance and the politics. People don't
Speaker 2: agree with your take, so you know it's fine, I guess,
Speaker 2: but you're wrong on the politics of it too. You're
Speaker 2: doing your you're if you're trying to sway people, you're
Speaker 2: doing more harm than good. As did happen through all
Speaker 2: of the years under Biden, ignoring the border, pretending it
Speaker 2: wasn't happen when people knew it was happening, right right.
Speaker 2: You're often asking do these people believe their crap? I
Speaker 2: think you have an indication there, at least in the media,
Speaker 2: who has so many of them. All they have is
Speaker 2: their ideology. They're incapable of rational thought. Yes, they actually
Speaker 2: believe deporting illegal immigrants, even criminals, is so deeply outrageous
Speaker 2: and unpopular. If we just show people what's happening, they
Speaker 2: will be on our side. No, No, that's not going
Speaker 2: to be the result at all. Here, it's amazing to
Speaker 2: me the extent to which ideology can blind intellect. Because
Speaker 2: those poll numbers were known during the election, anytime any
Speaker 2: sort of polling was not about illegal immigration or deportations
Speaker 2: or criminals or just deporting in general, the numbers were overwhelming.
Speaker 2: I mean we were shocked, nor that we were shocked
Speaker 2: at the how much approval there was for the sanity side.
Speaker 2: I mean, beyond two thirds of Americans wanted all undocumented
Speaker 2: immigrants deported, or that's what they expressed to pollsters. They're
Speaker 2: so fed up with the current situation. You know. One
Speaker 2: major factor of that, I think is your major media types,
Speaker 2: particularly your big time media folks. They are utterly unaffected
Speaker 2: by illegal immigration, except that you know, they pay less
Speaker 2: for the gardener their made or whatever. On the other hand,
Speaker 2: the Hispanic the average you know, like there's one, but
Speaker 2: there are many, many, many Hispanic Americans who live in
Speaker 2: the sort of neighborhoods where it's trendy Iragua members, it
Speaker 2: is some of the MS thirteen members. It's just criminals
Speaker 2: in general. It's people flooding the labor market and depressing
Speaker 2: the wages. Once again, it's the protected class and the
Speaker 2: unprotected class. And they are a hell of a lot
Speaker 2: of hardworking, decent Hispanic Americans who are in the unprotected class,
Speaker 2: and they see the reality of illegal immigration, not the
Speaker 2: college classroom version of it that the major media inhabits,
Speaker 2: the reality and they don't like it. Then there are
Speaker 2: over six hundred thousand convicted criminals here illegally. People are
Speaker 2: just trying to an astounding number. We ought to repeat
Speaker 2: that once an hour. How does that happen? But the
Speaker 2: idea that there are states and cities that say you
Speaker 2: can't kick them out, we will get in the way
Speaker 2: of the federal government trying to kick them out. Good lord,
Speaker 2: I don't even know how you get there. But if
Speaker 2: you're just an average family in a neighborhood in your Spanic,
Speaker 2: you don't want criminals around. If they're convicted criminals, and
Speaker 2: criminals get them out of here anyway, So do I fini?
Speaker 2: There are probably innocent people that don't deserve to be booted,
Speaker 2: that could or will or have gotten rounded up. And
Speaker 2: sure am I against that. Yes, I don't want that
Speaker 2: to happen, but you gotta watch it. So you got
Speaker 2: this Kilmar Obrego Garcia dude, the Maryland man that we
Speaker 2: all know of the Maryland sother that got sent to
Speaker 2: that prison where they put you in white shorts and
Speaker 2: bend you over and walk you around in chains that
Speaker 2: he shouldn't have gone. Well, he's back in the United
Speaker 2: States and officially charged with one count of conspiracy to
Speaker 2: unlawfully transport legal aliens for financial gain and another count
Speaker 2: of unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain a
Speaker 2: different one. When he got pulled over and I don't
Speaker 2: know why, I just saw the video this weekend. When
Speaker 2: he got pulled over, he had thirteen people in his car.
Speaker 2: Almost certainly he was transporting people and weapons and money
Speaker 2: and all kinds of different stuff. That's what he was
Speaker 2: doing in Maryland in little league coach. What whether he
Speaker 2: was officially part of MS at thirteen, what the hell
Speaker 2: difference does it make if he was part of the
Speaker 2: you know, moving people around thing, and that's what he's
Speaker 2: being charged with. His lawyer says that it's pollycock. Is
Speaker 2: that the right term for poppycock? Poppycock? Yeah, I knew
Speaker 2: I was wrong. I don't actually use the term poppycock,
Speaker 2: so I said I shouldn't throw it around loosely like that. Well,
Speaker 2: we have a justice system and rules of evidence and
Speaker 2: the rest of it, and conviction by a jury of
Speaker 2: his peers, which I guess is MS thirteen members got
Speaker 2: to find twelve of them, so we'll let the system work.
Speaker 2: Do you ever have a phrase or word come out
Speaker 2: of your mouth that you hear a lot and you think, man,
Speaker 2: that doesn't fit me. The saying poppycock does not fit
Speaker 2: my I don't know my whole vibe. Maybe put on
Speaker 2: a bowler and try to say it again. Yea, that
Speaker 2: will work. I know what it is. I was listening
Speaker 2: to Missus Dallaway on audiobooks over the weekend and I
Speaker 2: that threw me off one day London in the twenties.
Speaker 2: That's what happened to me. We have a commercial we
Speaker 2: have to do here, Michael. I lost. Now, no good, Okay,
Speaker 2: we got other stuff to get to. The State of
Speaker 2: California has officially decided to sue the Trump administration for
Speaker 2: I guess, sending National Guard troops without the governors asking
Speaker 2: for them, well, misusing the statute that would allow that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: soue away, Gabby boy, sue away. Yeah, we'll see where
Speaker 2: most of America is on that too, politically A lot
Speaker 2: on the way. Stay here. He's a tough guy. Why
Speaker 2: wasn't he do that?
Speaker 4: He knows where to find me, Come after me, arrest me.
Speaker 4: Let's just get it over with, tough guy.
Speaker 6: I first heard about it. I was in Baltimore, Maryland.
Speaker 6: I said, oh my gosh, I leave home for a week.
Speaker 6: Look what happened There was what was called him monroll Monster.
Speaker 6: Years years ago, someone saw a big creature out near
Speaker 6: the Fermi power plant. I think it's really funny that
Speaker 6: this was spotted near where that was.
Speaker 2: So bigfoot spotting over the weekend. It's very exciting. Reminded
Speaker 2: me of this. I don't know if you've heard this
Speaker 2: or not headline. Pentagon planted the Area fifty one uf
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory that lives till this day on purpose. According
Speaker 2: to a new government report that is out, the UFO
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory, Yes they planted it. Yes. Some of the
Speaker 2: most prevalent UFO conspiracy theories, including about aliens being housed
Speaker 2: at Area fifty one, were fueled by the Pentagon in
Speaker 2: an attempt to provide cover for secret weapons programs. According
Speaker 2: to this bombshell report that came out over the weekend,
Speaker 2: it's a review by the Department of Defense. In the
Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, an Air Force colonel went to a bar
Speaker 2: near Area fifty one gave the owner fake photos of
Speaker 2: flying saucers. You know, I'm sure, just kind of. I
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't tell you, but you know, just between you
Speaker 2: and me, here's a picture, and it's spread from there
Speaker 2: the inns, and it renewed the fervor over UFOs that
Speaker 2: had started years before. The point from the Pentagon was
Speaker 2: he was on an official mission from the Pentagon to
Speaker 2: spread disinformation and hide the true purpose of the site
Speaker 2: where the government was testing the first ever stealth warf plane. Now,
Speaker 2: if I've been at that meeting, I might have said, Colonel,
Speaker 2: I appreciate the idea, but isn't this a little like, well,
Speaker 2: you don't want anybody to know that you're like putting
Speaker 2: cabinets in your garage, and so you make it look
Speaker 2: like your staging dog fights. I mean, you're trying to
Speaker 2: cover up something completely reasonable with something wildly unreasonable and
Speaker 2: very very interesting. I don't think you understand what a
Speaker 2: cover up is. Well, the military reason that the best
Speaker 2: way to keep its new technology hidden from the Soviet
Speaker 2: Union's prying eyes during the Cold War was it to
Speaker 2: bury it amid a trove of conspiracy theories around Area
Speaker 2: fifty one. Ah ah, the just the flood the zone
Speaker 2: with craziness. What's the belief This incident is just one
Speaker 2: of several where government agencies a legendly played up America's
Speaker 2: UFO mythology for the purpose of protecting its military assets.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's what I wonder, if that's what
Speaker 2: was going on with the drones over New Jersey something
Speaker 2: like that, it wouldn't surprise me a bit. No, well,
Speaker 2: I get that. Okay, there's a rumor out Area fifty
Speaker 2: one that they're trying a new you know, laser beam
Speaker 2: or a stealth aircraft or something. Well that gets it's
Speaker 2: flooded with the alien crap and nobody believes it isn't
Speaker 2: that something. It was. It was on an actual government
Speaker 2: mission to go into a Nevada bar. And I can
Speaker 2: trust you, can't I sell Yeah, anyway, don't tell anybody
Speaker 2: told you. Look at this picture of this flying. It's
Speaker 2: just a whiskey hocking. But I can't keep this under
Speaker 2: my head anymore. Man. You guys see this stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I would have loved that job. Give me that job
Speaker 2: to go into bars and spread miss or disinformation. I
Speaker 2: want that job about alien autopsis and spacecraft. All you
Speaker 2: only spread disinformation. Send me into bars. I've got the
Speaker 2: I've got the skill set. Yeah. Wow, what a great gig.
Speaker 2: Remember if I'd known they had that sort of program,
Speaker 2: I might have enlisted back in the day. It's Michael.
Speaker 5: Remember a couple of years ago a bunch of people
Speaker 5: were going to storm Area fifty one and.
Speaker 2: Natural, Yeah, right to finally see the alien who it's
Speaker 2: strapped down when they're probing it unbelievable. I know we
Speaker 2: got another Karen Bass, mayor of La Clip to play
Speaker 2: for you. They got every all under control. They had
Speaker 2: it under control. Trump didn't need to send the National Guard.
Speaker 2: We had it under control. You can tell by all
Speaker 2: but way moo's on fire right. Tell you what, whether
Speaker 2: it's Karen Bass or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, these
Speaker 2: people who exist in a one party environment and rise
Speaker 2: to the top of that and start to think they
Speaker 2: actually have game. No, you've never You've never played a game.
Speaker 2: You've just scrimmaged against your own team. You think you
Speaker 2: have Chopskevin, you don't. You've been washing playing the Washington
Speaker 2: Generals your whole life. Look it up, Google it, Armstrong
Speaker 2: and getty. Little sound from the riot over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Listen to this. I don't know if that was that
Speaker 2: motorcycle that. I don't know if you could hear that
Speaker 2: or not. Is that the famous guy on the motorcycle
Speaker 2: waving the Mexican flag with a mask over his face.
Speaker 2: But anyway, he tried to crack the vehicles burned behind him.
Speaker 2: He tried to crash the police line in a motorcycle.
Speaker 2: That's a different guy. Wow, tried to crash the police
Speaker 2: line with a motorcycle, which is a hell of a bold,
Speaker 2: dangerous move. You're committed, But there's no need for the
Speaker 2: Feds because the locals have it all under control. According
Speaker 2: to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass it's Trump who's caused
Speaker 2: the problem. Yeah, here's Mayor Karen Bass on with CNN.
Speaker 2: Do you think the National Guard is needed now?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think the National Guard is needed now.
Speaker 1: Things in La are calm. I will tell you that
Speaker 1: I'm saddened by the extent of the vandalism in the
Speaker 1: form of graffiti all through the downtown area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. This is what LAPD chief Jim McDonald
Speaker 2: said in a press conference.
Speaker 7: We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people
Speaker 7: out there engaged in this type of activity and the
Speaker 7: type of things that they're doing. They'll they'll take backpacks
Speaker 7: and the backpack will have.
Speaker 2: A cinder block in it.
Speaker 7: They have a hammer and they'll break up the cinder
Speaker 7: block and use that pass it around to throw at officers,
Speaker 7: to throw at cars, and throw at other people. We've
Speaker 7: seen people with hammers and you've broadcasted breaking the ballards
Speaker 7: behind the Federal building and taken the rocks, if you will,
Speaker 7: are pieces of concrete and throwing them at officers. We've
Speaker 7: had liquid who knows what description thrown at officers, that
Speaker 7: there's no limit to what they're what they're doing.
Speaker 2: No, somebody's got to stop a step in and explain
Speaker 2: to the chief, No, you're not overwhelmed. The mayor just
Speaker 2: said you're not. It's all under control. You've got this.
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to tell the chief that we have to
Speaker 2: establish and it'll take a long time. We have to
Speaker 2: establish in cities across America that you can't do that.
Speaker 2: You don't get to do that. You don't get to
Speaker 2: set police cars on fire. You don't get to smash
Speaker 2: the windows out of the police station. Right, it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter how mad you are, how righteous you are, how
Speaker 2: mean Derek Chauvin was, or how innocent George Floyd was,
Speaker 2: None of that stuff matters. You don't get to riot.
Speaker 2: I don't set fires. I don't see how. I don't
Speaker 2: see how you stop this without some serious violence on
Speaker 2: you know, on the side of the police, though. I mean,
Speaker 2: because you need to send the message you will get shot.
Speaker 2: You try to break the windows out of the freaking
Speaker 2: police station. We will shoot you. There has to be
Speaker 2: a line somewhere. Well, right, Yeah, I am reminded of
Speaker 2: back when I was actively raising my kids and people
Speaker 2: would occasionally say, hey, Joe, sounds like you're doing a
Speaker 2: good job as a dad. I've got this problem. What
Speaker 2: would you suggest? And often it would be you know,
Speaker 2: completely out of control teenager for whom no boundaries had
Speaker 2: been set for a very very long time, and now
Speaker 2: they're you know, really really getting into serious trouble. And
Speaker 2: and I would not say this, but the first piece
Speaker 2: of advice I would want to give is get a
Speaker 2: time machine. So what do you want to do to
Speaker 2: get out of this unrest and violence and all the
Speaker 2: deportations and the contract Get a time machine because you
Speaker 2: got to go back about four and a half years
Speaker 2: to win Joseph R. Biden, Mummy Delaware, strode into the
Speaker 2: Oval office and decided, we're just gonna lay the borders
Speaker 2: wide open because there's no painless way to solve this.
Speaker 2: Now we have gone so far down this road. The
Speaker 2: only way back is through pain and inconvenience, to say
Speaker 2: the least. Well, and then I would like you, I
Speaker 2: would honestly like some of my Libertaria friends to explain
Speaker 2: to me what you do how you handle this. But
Speaker 2: I've been saying for years about the time machine on
Speaker 2: the when your sports team wins, you don't get to
Speaker 2: set a bus on fire. The taxpayers then have to pay,
Speaker 2: you know, a half a million dollars to replace. We
Speaker 2: just can't. That's not okay. Why do we allow that?
Speaker 2: So if you allow all that when your sports teams win,
Speaker 2: or George Floyd dies or whatever, it just builds this
Speaker 2: idea that there is a real giant gray area where
Speaker 2: will allow you to smash the windows out of the
Speaker 2: police station, set cop cars on fire, hurl chunks of
Speaker 2: cement cops or whatever. Before we're ever gonna hit in
Speaker 2: the head with a stick, we need to hit more
Speaker 2: people on the head with a stick. Tell me how
Speaker 2: you don't fix it without hitting people in the head
Speaker 2: with sticks, the armstrong doctrine. I will tell you this.
Speaker 2: I can tell you precisely why they did it the
Speaker 2: other way that you were describing. It's like if a
Speaker 2: big bully starts pounding on you. There are two responses.
Speaker 2: You can either fight back or you can like curl
Speaker 2: up into the fetal position, get kicked a couple of times,
Speaker 2: and hope he gets bored and goes away. And the
Speaker 2: cities think, all right, we've got a level you know,
Speaker 2: two level of chaos right now. If we send the
Speaker 2: cops in swinging sticks, it's going to go to level
Speaker 2: three or four. Well, just let them vent, We'll let
Speaker 2: them go home, sober up, and then we'll clean up
Speaker 2: the mess. But it is a net gain over fighting back.
Speaker 2: But the problem is that accumulates over time that message
Speaker 2: gets sent, Like you're saying, that's my point, is that
Speaker 2: what you end up with is it just goes further
Speaker 2: and further. And if you cracked heads early on, then
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have to do it next time at all. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a lot of the people on the streets, including the
Speaker 2: pros who I keep referring to, and you will see
Speaker 2: them out in force tonight. I suspect your Antifa types,
Speaker 2: your radical Marxists, black Flag or whatever they call themselves.
Speaker 2: If you ask them, they'd say, oh, no, they never
Speaker 2: do anything. Right. Now, we can tear apart of the
Speaker 2: Columbia Library, we can march in Times Square, we can
Speaker 2: harass Jews and terrify them, tear down posts. We can
Speaker 2: do anything we want. The authorities never do anything. They
Speaker 2: put us in zip ties, We go down, fill out
Speaker 2: a couple of papers, they turn us loose, and we're
Speaker 2: never prosecuted. Nobody doesn't. I'm sure you could find some
Speaker 2: forty year old guy who is at the WTO protests
Speaker 2: in Seattle in ninety eight and has been to these
Speaker 2: all over the country and said, no cop has ever
Speaker 2: hit me. I've done all kinds. I've broken all kinds
Speaker 2: of stuff. I've set things on fire, I mean all
Speaker 2: kinds of things, and throwing rocks at cops, bottles whatever,
Speaker 2: spit on them. I would actually like to hear, like,
Speaker 2: how you stop this without hitting people in the head
Speaker 2: with sticks. I'm being completely serious here. I don't think
Speaker 2: you can. Can we look for a phrase like occasionally
Speaker 2: institute physical force or something? So I'm thinking more gentlemanly.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to deal in reality here. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: to hit hippies in the lid with sticks. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. When they spit at people, you know, they spit,
Speaker 2: that's that new thing. They spit and worse, you know
Speaker 2: what they throw at them? Right, and when that happens.
Speaker 2: I have a little staker. They say they spit, we hit,
Speaker 2: And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police officers.
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do is
Speaker 2: the common thing. They get up to them this far
Speaker 2: away and then they start spitting in their face. That happens.
Speaker 2: They get hit very hard. If they spit, we hit.
Speaker 2: I don't know how we I don't know why you
Speaker 2: hit somebody for spitting. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know that's on a person I'm hitting you. It
Speaker 2: leaves your lips. You're beat down by chips traditional name
Speaker 2: of the California Highway Patrol. You have a million of
Speaker 2: fitball in these so to speak, Yes, so to speak
Speaker 2: a feel pardon the expression, yes, gotta hit people in
Speaker 2: that head with sticks? Well yeah, I think I don't
Speaker 2: see how you correct this without hitting people in the
Speaker 2: head with stick Seriously, But to show that I'm not
Speaker 2: a complete maniac, just an eighty percent maniac. Is having
Speaker 2: this conversation with my son yesterday, my youngest son, and
Speaker 2: he's super law in order and really wanting to hit
Speaker 2: beats in the heads with sticks and everything like that.
Speaker 2: I said, well, you gotta be. Here's where you get
Speaker 2: into a problem. Though. If the cops can just hit
Speaker 2: anybody in the head with a night stick or shoot
Speaker 2: them that you know is bothersome to them, you might
Speaker 2: end up living in a town like we live in
Speaker 2: where the cops don't like people who like Trump. And
Speaker 2: then they, you know, they they claim you said something
Speaker 2: in the hitch in the head with a stick, so
Speaker 2: it could get out of hand pretty quickly. But we're
Speaker 2: a long way from that right now. When you're setting
Speaker 2: a cop car on fire, Hey, you set that cop
Speaker 2: corn fire, I want to hitch in the head with
Speaker 2: the stick they go to set on fire. You hit
Speaker 2: him in the head with a freaking stick. I don't know,
Speaker 2: just stop it. Well, you arrest them, you prosecute him,
Speaker 2: you put them in jail for the next year and
Speaker 2: a half of their lives in large numbers, Okay, I
Speaker 2: suppose that would work if you actually did it. I
Speaker 2: guess I'm assuming that will never happen. But yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: it's like our former LAPD guy we had on earlier.
Speaker 2: That's what he said. You show up with buses and
Speaker 2: you arrest lots and lots and lots of people and
Speaker 2: actually prosecute them through our justice system, not like Jack
Speaker 2: the maniac wants to do extra judicial brutality. Man, it's
Speaker 2: not it's not extra judicial. If you're trying to set
Speaker 2: a police car on fire, you can hit him with
Speaker 2: the head with a stick. Cat well, only if you
Speaker 2: need to. Wells, if you try to set that police
Speaker 2: car on fire, I'm going to hit your head with
Speaker 2: a stick. How a would I try to cuffy first? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess. I keep tackling in cuffya, I get I
Speaker 2: guess you know, as a kind of similar to the
Speaker 2: pro test grow. I've gotten to the point where I
Speaker 2: can't even imagine anybody getting arrested and prosecuted because I've
Speaker 2: seen it over and over again. So you just want
Speaker 2: to go to the stickwork, go, Jean croup on them.
Speaker 2: I cannot join you in this. You've lost your mind.
Speaker 2: And one more from Jim McDonald lapd Chief about how
Speaker 2: bad it is out there. This violence that I've seen
Speaker 2: is disgusting.
Speaker 7: It's escalated now since the beginning of this incident.
Speaker 2: What we saw the first night was bad. What we've seen.
Speaker 7: Subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse and more violent.
Speaker 7: Tonight we had individuals out there shooting commercial grade fireworks
Speaker 7: at our officers that can kill you, and we have
Speaker 7: adapted our tactics to be able to have a chance,
Speaker 7: to be able to take these people into custody and
Speaker 7: to be able to hold them accountable.
Speaker 2: Well, as we heard a little bit ago, people that
Speaker 2: are carrying around giant chunks of cement in a backpack
Speaker 2: and have the tools to then break that into pieces
Speaker 2: and throw a cops in those are pros well. And
Speaker 2: the chief in a way answered me. He said, it's
Speaker 2: way toochaotic, endangerous to try to arrest people. So you've
Speaker 2: got that. He must be confused. I want to hear
Speaker 2: the mayor again. Fifty seven Michael, this is Karen Bass.
Speaker 2: I'm unclear on the facts. Do you think the National
Speaker 2: Guard is needed now?
Speaker 1: No, I don't think the National Guard is needed now.
Speaker 1: Things in La are calm. I will tell you that
Speaker 1: I'm saddened by the extent of the vandalism in the
Speaker 1: form of art.
Speaker 2: It's under control. I think she said that something like
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock Sunday morning or something like that that, No,
Speaker 2: everything's calm now, it's under control. Yeah, the s is
Speaker 2: going to hit the fan again tonight and one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty nights in a row Portland style unless you
Speaker 2: get control of the streets stick nogging. If you haven't
Speaker 2: seen the video of all those cars on fire last night,
Speaker 2: all those waymos, so they were actually ordering up waymos
Speaker 2: on the app on their phone like I did in
Speaker 2: San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, to take a ride,
Speaker 2: not to set it on fire. They'd order up the
Speaker 2: weymos weymost would drive there. Then you set them on fire,
Speaker 2: and they had bunchets of them out there. I don't
Speaker 2: I can't imagine what those cost per car. Wow, the
Speaker 2: Jaguars to start with, so probably sixty seventy thousand dollars
Speaker 2: car least to start with, and then the tech in them,
Speaker 2: it's gotta be one hundred and fifty thousand dollars vehicle.
Speaker 2: How many of them did they set on fire? I
Speaker 2: don't know, Yeah, a lot. This is why we as
Speaker 2: a country can't have nice things. We always wondered what
Speaker 2: Waymoon or any of these autonomous vehicles, how they were
Speaker 2: going to deal with this situation that's going to be
Speaker 2: a problem, because you know, a taxi driver is not
Speaker 2: going to drive into that part of town while the
Speaker 2: riot is going on, right, But the Wai Mo, stupid,
Speaker 2: stupid ai just drives into that part of town to
Speaker 2: get set on fire. Well, and at some point the
Speaker 2: criminal gangs are going to realize they can surround it,
Speaker 2: stop it, drag the passenger out, rob them, beat them,
Speaker 2: and be on their way. You'll see it fairly routinely.
Speaker 2: So you think it's going to be bad tonight, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I suspect so, Yeah, I hope I'm wrong. So what
Speaker 2: does the National Guard have the ability? They can't start
Speaker 2: shooting people. They have numbers, they can line up by
Speaker 2: the hundreds and clear those streets. Just physical force, they
Speaker 2: can shoot people famously. But I certainly hope they won
Speaker 2: one with hes. Get the Marines in there, that seems
Speaker 2: a little over the top. Paratroopers dropping in from the sky, Yes, Michael,
Speaker 2: what about tasers? Strong tasers? Tasers that sound a bad
Speaker 2: thing as opposed to a stick. Yeah, I had some electricity.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm just a fan of the fire hose myself.
Speaker 2: She's got a bit of a fraught history. But oh,
Speaker 2: it doesn't kill anybody. It just backs everybody up. Speaking
Speaker 2: of potential violence. I had the most aggravated pushback against
Speaker 2: me driving a cyber truck yesterday. That is just amazing
Speaker 2: and speaks to the times we live in That and
Speaker 2: other stuff on the way. Come on, large group of people.
Speaker 3: It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement
Speaker 3: in there and the wrong way and turn what is
Speaker 3: just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn
Speaker 3: into to a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.
Speaker 2: Claire candidate for Clip of the Year ABC seven in
Speaker 2: La over the weekend, saying things could turn volatile as
Speaker 2: you're looking at footage of many cars on fire and
Speaker 2: chunks of cement and smoking the air and right, things
Speaker 2: could just having a good old La car burning. Then
Speaker 2: the cops show up, This could be volatile. Thanks could
Speaker 2: turn volatile if you send in the cops people just
Speaker 2: enjoying themselves watching cars burn. That is hilarious. I would
Speaker 2: like to actually talk to that guy. Do you know
Speaker 2: what you said? Do you wish you were just peacefully
Speaker 2: smashing the windows at the police department and then then
Speaker 2: the cops showed up, it turned volatile. I'll give you
Speaker 2: a chance to take it back. Sometimes I misspeak. So
Speaker 2: did you mean to say that? Okay, you meant to
Speaker 2: say that. What the hell are you talking about. We
Speaker 2: got a bunch of texts about the story of the day, which,
Speaker 2: of course the riding in LA. Uh. We got this
Speaker 2: from Lost Angelus. A Los Angeles listener just heard on
Speaker 2: the pickleball court my kids in LA won't go out
Speaker 2: right now. The reply, Oh, because of the rioters. No,
Speaker 2: because of the National Guard. So they're scared of the
Speaker 2: National Guard having their kids go outside, not the rioting. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's like somebody I mentioned. Hell last week in LA.
Speaker 2: I know a super progressive person, very nice person, but
Speaker 2: super progressive, bought a gun for the first time. Can't
Speaker 2: believe they bought a gun because white men are so
Speaker 2: angry about being replaced. That's her concern. In Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're about to march. We're still waiting for
Speaker 2: the uniforms to come back for the manufacturer. I've been
Speaker 2: advocating hitting people in the head with sticks more often
Speaker 2: to get this to stop. We got some other ideas.
Speaker 2: Water cannons with blue indelible dye like the Japanese do.
Speaker 2: That's not bad. Oh wow, wow, got this note? You
Speaker 2: can't use tasers in California because the power will go
Speaker 2: out while you're charging them. Funny when powered tasers. Somebody
Speaker 2: said a Waymo cost about it. They gave me a second.
Speaker 2: My solar taser is still charging. I can geta zap
Speaker 2: the hell out of you. It got five minutes. Just
Speaker 2: hang on. Oh crap, it's cloudy. My solar taser is
Speaker 2: not gonna work. Uh. Somebody said a Weymo cost two
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so they burnt easily a
Speaker 2: million dollars with a waymos. The National Guard uses burner rifles.
Speaker 2: We used to do ads for burner guns. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: fire tear gas pellets or plastic bullets. So that's what
Speaker 2: you can look for out of the National Guard. Oh,
Speaker 2: mals got this. I don't know, Katie, you had the
Speaker 2: video or somebody did. I haven't seen it. Did you
Speaker 2: guys see the video of the man on stilts walking
Speaker 2: up to the police line. It's hilarious. I don't know
Speaker 2: the guy on stilt's video. I didn't see him walking
Speaker 2: up to the police line, but I definitely saw the
Speaker 2: police tackling him after that. So how tall were the stilts? Average?
Speaker 2: Stilt height. I don't know. There's not an average stilt height.
Speaker 2: It varies a lot. F two foot stilts five feet
Speaker 2: that's really high. I don't know how tall the stilts
Speaker 2: were where his feet, like at head level or waist level?
Speaker 2: Was he half again taller than the cops, twice as
Speaker 2: tall as the cops, three times as tall as the cops.
Speaker 2: He was on the ground, You got to hit him low. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I could knock a guy over on stilts
Speaker 2: pretty easily. Yeah, how's a bad plan? Still, guy, just
Speaker 2: letting you know that wasn't your best idea. Maybe rethink
Speaker 2: that one. Hard to imagine what your point was. How
Speaker 2: much time I got, Michael minute, I can't tell my
Speaker 2: story about the most aggressive pushback against me driving a
Speaker 2: cyber beast that I've had so far from some elon
Speaker 2: musk hating maniac, and I'm surprised that this hasn't gotten
Speaker 2: out of hand somewhere in the country. I'll tell that
Speaker 2: story an hour of the show, perhaps hour four. And
Speaker 2: if you don't get our four, you should get the
Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and get you on demand. Joe's predicting more
Speaker 2: violence tonight in Los Angeles. Uh yeah, absolutely, as the pros,
Speaker 2: the Antifa types are hitting town, the Marxists all So,
Speaker 2: what else has Gavin Newsom been up to? Is La Burns,
Speaker 2: that sort of leadership he's provided to the state of
Speaker 2: cal Unicornea, We'll take a look at that. Cool. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: we do a lot every single day, but man, the
Speaker 2: news cycle right now is crazy. We'll try to keep
Speaker 2: you on top of it. And again, if you miss
Speaker 2: a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
