That's When The Stickwork Begins

long version. Our executive producer hands and thinks it's a good opportunity to hear Gavin Newsom if he's got the chops to succinctly just you know, take take advantage of a moment where all eyes are on him. Here we go.

be a spectacle anyway. Sorry to be so clear. Well, we're not used to it. That's certainly true. Our old friend David Drucker with I think an obvious take, but one that is friends in the mainstream media probably don't understand or dig and.

impact illegal immigration, opinions could change. But just assuming that this is two thousand and a twenty twelve, and that never mind everybody else in the United States, that the Hispanic community is going to be reflexibly opposed to what they see is a wrong assumption to make at the outset.

more controversial. True, sure, I don't like that. Yeah. And at the same time, you can protest like crazy in the US and ask for redress agrievances and make speeches and organize people to vote and the rest of it. One hundred percent in favor of that. Speak your mind, folks, speak your mind. But you're setting fires to cars and hurlan chunks a concrete at cops. Uh huh. That's when the stickwork begins. As they expectorate, we initiate. That's what

I say. They loogie, we boogie. If she has a hawker, we called cocker. That's the way it goes from here on out. So David French of The New York Times tweeted out, peaceful civil disobedience is honorable. Violence is beyond the pale. This is basic stuff. Yet I see people conflate violence and civil disobedience all the time. They are not the same obs. I tell you what, Conservative America,

how about we all agree on this. We call out political violence every time either side like this for instance, you can't justify it. There is no justifying it. We're lucky no cops were killed. I saw a video that was hair raising. It's unbelievable. Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom, We've got this under control. It just became a problem because Trump weighed in, Oh my god, we're all watching the current LAPD chief just said, agitators are coming in

from outside. I just like you predict. Hello, Mark, Now, wherever there is energy of protests, they want to be because they want to amplify it, they want to turn it violent. They want to provoke a massive crackdown. It's the same philosophy of like the lunatic Tim McVay and his cabal of idiots who bombed the Mirrow building in Oklahoma City. They thought it would spark, you know, a popular revolution, especially if there was a crackdown. That's what

the antifa types want. They want the cops to wait in and crack heads. Well, you round them up, and you ended in as quickly as you can.

So is this from political? The headline grabbing incidents and images of residents clashing with ICE agents have provided an opening for Democrats to put the Trump administration on the defensive provided in opening for the Democrats to put the Trump administration on the defensive. That's how you look on it, and look at this, go ahead and try, yeah, good with that. Well, Halprin's point is you're just wrong, as

he said, on the substance and the politics. People don't agree with your take, so you know it's fine, I guess, but you're wrong on the politics of it too. You're doing your you're if you're trying to sway people, you're doing more harm than good. As did happen through all of the years under Biden, ignoring the border, pretending it wasn't happen when people knew it was happening, right right.

You're often asking do these people believe their crap? I think you have an indication there, at least in the media, who has so many of them. All they have is their ideology. They're incapable of rational thought. Yes, they actually believe deporting illegal immigrants, even criminals, is so deeply outrageous and unpopular. If we just show people what's happening, they will be on our side. No, No, that's not going to be the result at all. Here, it's amazing to

me the extent to which ideology can blind intellect. Because those poll numbers were known during the election, anytime any sort of polling was not about illegal immigration or deportations or criminals or just deporting in general, the numbers were overwhelming. I mean we were shocked, nor that we were shocked at the how much approval there was for the sanity side. I mean, beyond two thirds of Americans wanted all undocumented

immigrants deported, or that's what they expressed to pollsters. They're so fed up with the current situation. You know. One major factor of that, I think is your major media types, particularly your big time media folks. They are utterly unaffected by illegal immigration, except that you know, they pay less

for the gardener their made or whatever. On the other hand, the Hispanic the average you know, like there's one, but there are many, many, many Hispanic Americans who live in the sort of neighborhoods where it's trendy Iragua members, it is some of the MS thirteen members. It's just criminals in general. It's people flooding the labor market and depressing the wages. Once again, it's the protected class and the

unprotected class. And they are a hell of a lot of hardworking, decent Hispanic Americans who are in the unprotected class, and they see the reality of illegal immigration, not the college classroom version of it that the major media inhabits, the reality and they don't like it. Then there are over six hundred thousand convicted criminals here illegally. People are just trying to an astounding number. We ought to repeat

that once an hour. How does that happen? But the idea that there are states and cities that say you can't kick them out, we will get in the way of the federal government trying to kick them out. Good lord, I don't even know how you get there. But if you're just an average family in a neighborhood in your Spanic, you don't want criminals around. If they're convicted criminals, and criminals get them out of here anyway, So do I fini?

There are probably innocent people that don't deserve to be booted, that could or will or have gotten rounded up. And sure am I against that. Yes, I don't want that to happen, but you gotta watch it. So you got this Kilmar Obrego Garcia dude, the Maryland man that we all know of the Maryland sother that got sent to that prison where they put you in white shorts and bend you over and walk you around in chains that

he shouldn't have gone. Well, he's back in the United States and officially charged with one count of conspiracy to unlawfully transport legal aliens for financial gain and another count of unlawful transportation of illegal aliens for financial gain a different one. When he got pulled over and I don't know why, I just saw the video this weekend. When he got pulled over, he had thirteen people in his car. Almost certainly he was transporting people and weapons and money

and all kinds of different stuff. That's what he was doing in Maryland in little league coach. What whether he was officially part of MS at thirteen, what the hell difference does it make if he was part of the you know, moving people around thing, and that's what he's being charged with. His lawyer says that it's pollycock. Is that the right term for poppycock? Poppycock? Yeah, I knew I was wrong. I don't actually use the term poppycock,

so I said I shouldn't throw it around loosely like that. Well, we have a justice system and rules of evidence and the rest of it, and conviction by a jury of his peers, which I guess is MS thirteen members got to find twelve of them, so we'll let the system work. Do you ever have a phrase or word come out of your mouth that you hear a lot and you think, man, that doesn't fit me. The saying poppycock does not fit my I don't know my whole vibe. Maybe put on

a bowler and try to say it again. Yea, that will work. I know what it is. I was listening to Missus Dallaway on audiobooks over the weekend and I that threw me off one day London in the twenties. That's what happened to me. We have a commercial we have to do here, Michael. I lost. Now, no good, Okay, we got other stuff to get to. The State of California has officially decided to sue the Trump administration for I guess, sending National Guard troops without the governors asking

for them, well, misusing the statute that would allow that. Yeah, soue away, Gabby boy, sue away. Yeah, we'll see where most of America is on that too, politically A lot on the way. Stay here. He's a tough guy. Why wasn't he do that?

an attempt to provide cover for secret weapons programs. According to this bombshell report that came out over the weekend, it's a review by the Department of Defense. In the nineteen eighties, an Air Force colonel went to a bar near Area fifty one gave the owner fake photos of flying saucers. You know, I'm sure, just kind of. I probably shouldn't tell you, but you know, just between you and me, here's a picture, and it's spread from there the inns, and it renewed the fervor over UFOs that

had started years before. The point from the Pentagon was he was on an official mission from the Pentagon to spread disinformation and hide the true purpose of the site where the government was testing the first ever stealth warf plane. Now, if I've been at that meeting, I might have said, Colonel, I appreciate the idea, but isn't this a little like, well, you don't want anybody to know that you're like putting cabinets in your garage, and so you make it look

like your staging dog fights. I mean, you're trying to cover up something completely reasonable with something wildly unreasonable and very very interesting. I don't think you understand what a cover up is. Well, the military reason that the best way to keep its new technology hidden from the Soviet Union's prying eyes during the Cold War was it to bury it amid a trove of conspiracy theories around Area fifty one. Ah ah, the just the flood the zone

with craziness. What's the belief This incident is just one of several where government agencies a legendly played up America's UFO mythology for the purpose of protecting its military assets. I wonder if that's what I wonder, if that's what was going on with the drones over New Jersey something like that, it wouldn't surprise me a bit. No, well, I get that. Okay, there's a rumor out Area fifty one that they're trying a new you know, laser beam

or a stealth aircraft or something. Well that gets it's flooded with the alien crap and nobody believes it isn't that something. It was. It was on an actual government mission to go into a Nevada bar. And I can trust you, can't I sell Yeah, anyway, don't tell anybody told you. Look at this picture of this flying. It's just a whiskey hocking. But I can't keep this under my head anymore. Man. You guys see this stuff. Yeah, I would have loved that job. Give me that job

to go into bars and spread miss or disinformation. I want that job about alien autopsis and spacecraft. All you only spread disinformation. Send me into bars. I've got the I've got the skill set. Yeah. Wow, what a great gig. Remember if I'd known they had that sort of program, I might have enlisted back in the day. It's Michael.

but way moo's on fire right. Tell you what, whether it's Karen Bass or Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, these people who exist in a one party environment and rise to the top of that and start to think they actually have game. No, you've never You've never played a game. You've just scrimmaged against your own team. You think you have Chopskevin, you don't. You've been washing playing the Washington Generals your whole life. Look it up, Google it, Armstrong

and getty. Little sound from the riot over the weekend. Listen to this. I don't know if that was that motorcycle that. I don't know if you could hear that or not. Is that the famous guy on the motorcycle waving the Mexican flag with a mask over his face. But anyway, he tried to crack the vehicles burned behind him. He tried to crash the police line in a motorcycle. That's a different guy. Wow, tried to crash the police line with a motorcycle, which is a hell of a bold,

dangerous move. You're committed, But there's no need for the Feds because the locals have it all under control. According to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass it's Trump who's caused the problem. Yeah, here's Mayor Karen Bass on with CNN. Do you think the National Guard is needed now?

the windows out of the police station. Right, it doesn't matter how mad you are, how righteous you are, how mean Derek Chauvin was, or how innocent George Floyd was, None of that stuff matters. You don't get to riot. I don't set fires. I don't see how. I don't see how you stop this without some serious violence on you know, on the side of the police, though. I mean, because you need to send the message you will get shot. You try to break the windows out of the freaking

police station. We will shoot you. There has to be a line somewhere. Well, right, Yeah, I am reminded of back when I was actively raising my kids and people would occasionally say, hey, Joe, sounds like you're doing a good job as a dad. I've got this problem. What would you suggest? And often it would be you know, completely out of control teenager for whom no boundaries had been set for a very very long time, and now

they're you know, really really getting into serious trouble. And and I would not say this, but the first piece of advice I would want to give is get a

time machine. So what do you want to do to get out of this unrest and violence and all the deportations and the contract Get a time machine because you got to go back about four and a half years to win Joseph R. Biden, Mummy Delaware, strode into the Oval office and decided, we're just gonna lay the borders wide open because there's no painless way to solve this. Now we have gone so far down this road. The only way back is through pain and inconvenience, to say

the least. Well, and then I would like you, I would honestly like some of my Libertaria friends to explain to me what you do how you handle this. But I've been saying for years about the time machine on the when your sports team wins, you don't get to set a bus on fire. The taxpayers then have to pay, you know, a half a million dollars to replace. We just can't. That's not okay. Why do we allow that?

So if you allow all that when your sports teams win, or George Floyd dies or whatever, it just builds this idea that there is a real giant gray area where will allow you to smash the windows out of the police station, set cop cars on fire, hurl chunks of cement cops or whatever. Before we're ever gonna hit in the head with a stick, we need to hit more people on the head with a stick. Tell me how you don't fix it without hitting people in the head

with sticks, the armstrong doctrine. I will tell you this. I can tell you precisely why they did it the other way that you were describing. It's like if a big bully starts pounding on you. There are two responses. You can either fight back or you can like curl up into the fetal position, get kicked a couple of times, and hope he gets bored and goes away. And the cities think, all right, we've got a level you know,

two level of chaos right now. If we send the cops in swinging sticks, it's going to go to level three or four. Well, just let them vent, We'll let them go home, sober up, and then we'll clean up the mess. But it is a net gain over fighting back. But the problem is that accumulates over time that message gets sent, Like you're saying, that's my point, is that what you end up with is it just goes further and further. And if you cracked heads early on, then

you wouldn't have to do it next time at all. Yeah, a lot of the people on the streets, including the pros who I keep referring to, and you will see them out in force tonight. I suspect your Antifa types, your radical Marxists, black Flag or whatever they call themselves. If you ask them, they'd say, oh, no, they never do anything. Right. Now, we can tear apart of the Columbia Library, we can march in Times Square, we can harass Jews and terrify them, tear down posts. We can

do anything we want. The authorities never do anything. They put us in zip ties, We go down, fill out a couple of papers, they turn us loose, and we're never prosecuted. Nobody doesn't. I'm sure you could find some forty year old guy who is at the WTO protests in Seattle in ninety eight and has been to these all over the country and said, no cop has ever hit me. I've done all kinds. I've broken all kinds

of stuff. I've set things on fire, I mean all kinds of things, and throwing rocks at cops, bottles whatever, spit on them. I would actually like to hear, like, how you stop this without hitting people in the head with sticks. I'm being completely serious here. I don't think you can. Can we look for a phrase like occasionally institute physical force or something? So I'm thinking more gentlemanly. I'm trying to deal in reality here. You're gonna have

to hit hippies in the lid with sticks. Okay, here's Donald Trump. When they spit at people, you know, they spit, that's that new thing. They spit and worse, you know what they throw at them? Right, and when that happens. I have a little staker. They say they spit, we hit, And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police officers. Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do is the common thing. They get up to them this far away and then they start spitting in their face. That happens.

They get hit very hard. If they spit, we hit. I don't know how we I don't know why you hit somebody for spitting. I don't know. I don't know. You know that's on a person I'm hitting you. It leaves your lips. You're beat down by chips traditional name of the California Highway Patrol. You have a million of fitball in these so to speak, Yes, so to speak a feel pardon the expression, yes, gotta hit people in

that head with sticks? Well yeah, I think I don't see how you correct this without hitting people in the head with stick Seriously, But to show that I'm not a complete maniac, just an eighty percent maniac. Is having this conversation with my son yesterday, my youngest son, and he's super law in order and really wanting to hit beats in the heads with sticks and everything like that. I said, well, you gotta be. Here's where you get

into a problem. Though. If the cops can just hit anybody in the head with a night stick or shoot them that you know is bothersome to them, you might end up living in a town like we live in where the cops don't like people who like Trump. And then they, you know, they they claim you said something in the hitch in the head with a stick, so it could get out of hand pretty quickly. But we're

a long way from that right now. When you're setting a cop car on fire, Hey, you set that cop corn fire, I want to hitch in the head with the stick they go to set on fire. You hit him in the head with a freaking stick. I don't know, just stop it. Well, you arrest them, you prosecute him, you put them in jail for the next year and a half of their lives in large numbers, Okay, I suppose that would work if you actually did it. I

guess I'm assuming that will never happen. But yeah, yeah, Well, it's like our former LAPD guy we had on earlier. That's what he said. You show up with buses and you arrest lots and lots and lots of people and actually prosecute them through our justice system, not like Jack the maniac wants to do extra judicial brutality. Man, it's not it's not extra judicial. If you're trying to set a police car on fire, you can hit him with the head with a stick. Cat well, only if you

need to. Wells, if you try to set that police car on fire, I'm going to hit your head with a stick. How a would I try to cuffy first? Yeah, I guess. I keep tackling in cuffya, I get I guess you know, as a kind of similar to the pro test grow. I've gotten to the point where I can't even imagine anybody getting arrested and prosecuted because I've seen it over and over again. So you just want to go to the stickwork, go, Jean croup on them. I cannot join you in this. You've lost your mind.

And one more from Jim McDonald lapd Chief about how bad it is out there. This violence that I've seen is disgusting.

get control of the streets stick nogging. If you haven't seen the video of all those cars on fire last night, all those waymos, so they were actually ordering up waymos on the app on their phone like I did in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago, to take a ride, not to set it on fire. They'd order up the weymos weymost would drive there. Then you set them on fire, and they had bunchets of them out there. I don't

I can't imagine what those cost per car. Wow, the Jaguars to start with, so probably sixty seventy thousand dollars car least to start with, and then the tech in them, it's gotta be one hundred and fifty thousand dollars vehicle. How many of them did they set on fire? I don't know, Yeah, a lot. This is why we as

a country can't have nice things. We always wondered what Waymoon or any of these autonomous vehicles, how they were going to deal with this situation that's going to be a problem, because you know, a taxi driver is not going to drive into that part of town while the riot is going on, right, But the Wai Mo, stupid, stupid ai just drives into that part of town to

get set on fire. Well, and at some point the criminal gangs are going to realize they can surround it, stop it, drag the passenger out, rob them, beat them, and be on their way. You'll see it fairly routinely. So you think it's going to be bad tonight, Yeah, I suspect so, Yeah, I hope I'm wrong. So what does the National Guard have the ability? They can't start shooting people. They have numbers, they can line up by the hundreds and clear those streets. Just physical force, they

can shoot people famously. But I certainly hope they won one with hes. Get the Marines in there, that seems a little over the top. Paratroopers dropping in from the sky, Yes, Michael, what about tasers? Strong tasers? Tasers that sound a bad thing as opposed to a stick. Yeah, I had some electricity. I guess I'm just a fan of the fire hose myself. She's got a bit of a fraught history. But oh, it doesn't kill anybody. It just backs everybody up. Speaking

of potential violence. I had the most aggravated pushback against me driving a cyber truck yesterday. That is just amazing and speaks to the times we live in That and other stuff on the way. Come on, large group of people.

what you said? Do you wish you were just peacefully smashing the windows at the police department and then then the cops showed up, it turned volatile. I'll give you a chance to take it back. Sometimes I misspeak. So did you mean to say that? Okay, you meant to say that. What the hell are you talking about. We got a bunch of texts about the story of the day, which, of course the riding in LA. Uh. We got this

from Lost Angelus. A Los Angeles listener just heard on the pickleball court my kids in LA won't go out right now. The reply, Oh, because of the rioters. No, because of the National Guard. So they're scared of the National Guard having their kids go outside, not the rioting. Okay, that's like somebody I mentioned. Hell last week in LA. I know a super progressive person, very nice person, but

super progressive, bought a gun for the first time. Can't believe they bought a gun because white men are so angry about being replaced. That's her concern. In Los Angeles, Oh yeah, we're about to march. We're still waiting for the uniforms to come back for the manufacturer. I've been advocating hitting people in the head with sticks more often to get this to stop. We got some other ideas. Water cannons with blue indelible dye like the Japanese do.

That's not bad. Oh wow, wow, got this note? You can't use tasers in California because the power will go out while you're charging them. Funny when powered tasers. Somebody said a Waymo cost about it. They gave me a second. My solar taser is still charging. I can geta zap the hell out of you. It got five minutes. Just hang on. Oh crap, it's cloudy. My solar taser is not gonna work. Uh. Somebody said a Weymo cost two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so they burnt easily a

million dollars with a waymos. The National Guard uses burner rifles. We used to do ads for burner guns. Yeah, that fire tear gas pellets or plastic bullets. So that's what you can look for out of the National Guard. Oh, mals got this. I don't know, Katie, you had the video or somebody did. I haven't seen it. Did you guys see the video of the man on stilts walking up to the police line. It's hilarious. I don't know

the guy on stilt's video. I didn't see him walking up to the police line, but I definitely saw the police tackling him after that. So how tall were the stilts? Average? Stilt height. I don't know. There's not an average stilt height. It varies a lot. F two foot stilts five feet that's really high. I don't know how tall the stilts were where his feet, like at head level or waist level? Was he half again taller than the cops, twice as tall as the cops, three times as tall as the cops.

He was on the ground, You got to hit him low. Yeah, I think I could knock a guy over on stilts pretty easily. Yeah, how's a bad plan? Still, guy, just letting you know that wasn't your best idea. Maybe rethink that one. Hard to imagine what your point was. How much time I got, Michael minute, I can't tell my story about the most aggressive pushback against me driving a cyber beast that I've had so far from some elon musk hating maniac, and I'm surprised that this hasn't gotten

out of hand somewhere in the country. I'll tell that story an hour of the show, perhaps hour four. And if you don't get our four, you should get the podcast Armstrong and get you on demand. Joe's predicting more violence tonight in Los Angeles. Uh yeah, absolutely, as the pros, the Antifa types are hitting town, the Marxists all So, what else has Gavin Newsom been up to? Is La Burns, that sort of leadership he's provided to the state of

cal Unicornea, We'll take a look at that. Cool. Uh yeah, we do a lot every single day, but man, the news cycle right now is crazy. We'll try to keep you on top of it. And again, if you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
