10
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Now, I must admit.

11
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: I was pretty skeptical that it would work over the weekend,

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,079
but apparently it did. It totally worked. We don't have

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,359
any more kings anymore. I am as surprised as you.

14
00:00:50,799 --> 00:00:52,759
I thought I would, you know, wake up and it

15
00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:57,039
would just be normal, a regular Monday, bunch of kings everywhere.

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,439
Speaker 1: But no, it worked.

17
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:07,519
Speaker 2: Thank you Democrats for your momentous events, your rallies, your bravery,

18
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:12,519
your courage. Dan rather might say, you have saved us

19
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:17,480
from all the kings. Again, I was skeptical, but here

20
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:20,000
we are. Look around, do you see any kings? I

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,640
don't either, so it obviously worked. Now, there was a

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:32,959
royal wedding, or what passes for royalty in America, which

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,480
is George Soros. Well, his son Alex got married to

24
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,719
Huma Abodeen. I guess her name is now going to

25
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:48,519
be Huma Soros Humasaurus, which sounds almost like a dinosaur species.

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,640
You know that you learn about humasros. But anyway, Yeah,

27
00:01:52,719 --> 00:01:57,560
top Democrats were out celebrating the lavish wedding of former

28
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Hillary Clinton aide Uma Aberdeen and Alex Soros, the son

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,680
of left wing mega donor George Soros.

30
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Among those in attendance.

31
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, Chuck Schuma, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton is She

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,199
even delivered remarks at the wedding. It was held at

33
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,479
a Soros family estate in the Hamptons, which is the

34
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,960
very wealthy, upscale area of Long Island, New York, out

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,120
at the east end of the island. Guests at the

36
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:41,039
opulent affair dined on I don't even know what this is.

37
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,840
I probably will mispronounce it, but truffle agnolotti, agno loti.

38
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:50,479
I have no idea what that is. I don't even

39
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,680
think I know what a truffle is. I mean, I

40
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:56,360
see the word and I've like, I've heard of truffle oil.

41
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,199
I've probably eaten some of it, but I just is

42
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,039
it like a is it a mushroom?

43
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: I think? Anyway.

44
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:09,199
Speaker 2: They also had chilled p soup. That's pea soup, by

45
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:19,400
the way, pea soup. That sounds horrific. Yeah, but well

46
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:22,000
I got texture issues with pea soup. It's just it

47
00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,560
looks like a bowl of boogers, you know. And I

48
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,199
just I'm not a fan. I like peas, but and

49
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,159
I like soup, but I pea soup can't do it.

50
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,360
And then you made it even worse by having it chilled.

51
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: Ugh.

52
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: So it's basically it's a p smoothie, right, that's what

53
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:43,439
That's what you've made. You just put it in a

54
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,840
bowl and you're calling it soup. This is how the

55
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:49,120
wealthy dyed. Oh, I don't know what this word is

56
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:56,879
either wagu bavette, b a ve e tte, sports car,

57
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:05,479
I don't know, wagu bavette, and grilled prawns. New York

58
00:04:05,479 --> 00:04:09,639
Times labeled it as something of a political royal wedding

59
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:12,360
on the No King's Day.

60
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,599
Speaker 1: They had this wedding on the.

61
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: Same day that they were protesting the kings. The Democrats

62
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,360
were literally at a royal wedding. The No King's protests

63
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:29,680
were organized in part by the Sorrows funded activist group Indivisible.

64
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:36,800
One such demonstration titled shut Down Billionaire's Lane, No Kings.

65
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,160
That's the name of the event that was scheduled on

66
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:48,720
Saturday in Southampton, which is where they were. That's the name,

67
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,560
shut Down Billionaire's Lane, No Kings.

68
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't but.

69
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:57,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like right down the street from where the

70
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,199
Sorrows Aberdeen wedding took place and people flew in on

71
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,079
their private jets. Is that Billionaire's Lane? I don't know,

72
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,279
do they. I've never heard of this thing called Billionaire's Lane.

73
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,399
Maybe it's a place in the Hamptons where all the

74
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:12,199
billionaires live.

75
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:12,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

76
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,079
Speaker 2: But there's just something rich no pun intended, Actually yes,

77
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:25,079
pun intended. There's something rich about a No King's protest

78
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,720
attacking billionaires in the Hamptons. Give me a break, you're

79
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:36,759
the Hamptons, guys. The Board of Open Society Foundations, a

80
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,920
major Soros philanthropic organization, elected Alex Soros as chairman in

81
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,480
December twenty twenty two. Alex describes himself as quote more

82
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,399
political than his father, George Soros, said that his younger

83
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:00,199
son earned the chairmanship. The younger Soros has met with

84
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:04,279
numerous high profile Democrats to discuss issues that the Foundation

85
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,279
is involved in. Yes, and he takes photos of every

86
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:16,279
Democrat that you know makes the pilgrimage to Alex's penthouse, skyscraper,

87
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,839
apartment or condo, and he takes pictures of him and

88
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:24,199
posts him up like you would, you know, gain trophies

89
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,959
on the wall that you you know, you took down

90
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,399
this seventy point buck or something and you put his

91
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,839
head on your wall, so like he's collecting Democrat trophies.

92
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:39,319
Alex Soros and Aberdeen announced their engagement in July twenty

93
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:45,480
twenty four. Abdeen was previously married to Anthony Weener, that's right,

94
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680
whose political career ended after he sent explicit photos to

95
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,319
a minor from Gaston County. That's from the Daily Caller

96
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,000
News Foundation piece by Harold Hutchison, headline, Democrat big wigs

97
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,079
hobnob at Ritzy Soros wedding on No King's Day. Yeah,

98
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,079
like just the irony alone did not anybody? Well, I

99
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:13,199
guess they probably had the date planned for a long time.

100
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:18,319
They chose Flag Day. It's very odd, but yeah, just

101
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,879
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Now I could not.

103
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: Tell if the parade that was held up in Washington,

104
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:31,959
d C.

105
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: With all of the.

106
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,639
Speaker 2: Military you know, personnel and equipment and all that and vehicles,

107
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,240
maybe that's what got rid of the Kings. Maybe there

108
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:45,959
was such a strong show of force from our military

109
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,040
that maybe it didn't have anything to do with all

110
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,399
of the you know, seventy year old white liberals reliving

111
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360
you know, the sixties Woodstock era or something like. Maybe

112
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:59,040
they didn't actually get rid of the Kings for us.

113
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,720
Maybe it was the show. Oh of course. Now I

114
00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:07,120
can't tell if the left wanted our troops to be

115
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:12,040
doing like goose stepping like the Nazis, because they seemed

116
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,199
very disappointed that they weren't, like they were predicting that

117
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,800
this would be terrible and that they were going to

118
00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:20,480
be like jack booted thugs walking the streets and all

119
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,360
of this. And then when it was actually held, the

120
00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:27,439
parade was done, and then I saw this criticism from

121
00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:31,600
lefties online that were like, oh, that was pretty lousy,

122
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,159
that was that was pitiful, and they didn't even know

123
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,360
how to march in line together, like they were just

124
00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:41,919
like attacking the troops as not being Nazi like, so,

125
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,879
I'm I was just unclear. Did we want them to

126
00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:48,120
be like the Nazis or did we not lefties? And

127
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:51,360
by way, I mean you like what was it? I know,

128
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:56,480
like because it didn't fulfill your catastrophe fever dream, right,

129
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,879
your predictions that it was going to be this terrible thing.

130
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,080
Turned out it was a pretty good bread. Yeah, here's

131
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,679
a great idea. How about making an escape to a

132
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,240
really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just

133
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,799

00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,639
John says, I did not hear about the royal wedding.

154
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,559
I was busy ticking off the vast majority of my

155
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,799
friends in the arts community because I don't agree that

156
00:10:26,879 --> 00:10:29,720
everybody needs to bow to the angry rioters and mob

157
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,480
ah over the week. And that's John's up in New Jersey,

158
00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:39,679
so he's surrounded up there. So the parade Byron York says,

159
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,440
it was a good thing.

160
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

161
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: I was not offended by the parade. It's the Army's

162
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,600
two hundred and fiftieth birthday, right, I'm fine with all

163
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:54,720
of that not a big deal, and so Byron York writes,

164
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:57,679
He's here's the first thing to say about Saturday's military

165
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,519
parade in Washington, d C. Honoring the army two hundred

166
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:02,840
and fiftieth birthday. It was a good thing to do.

167
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,039
It wasn't a vanity production for President Donald Trump's birthday.

168
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120
It wasn't an authoritarian flex. It wasn't a threat to

169
00:11:11,159 --> 00:11:16,279
the American people or to the democracy. It was instead

170
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,960
a dignified celebration of one of the great institutions of

171
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,240
American life as it and the US marks its two

172
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,240
hundred and fiftieth year of existence. Trump was right to

173
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,559
highlight the Army's birthday as the beginning of America two fifty.

174
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,200
That's the brand, by the way, that's America two fifty

175
00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,240
all one word. That's the brand. The marketing thing like

176
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,200
hashtag in it, you know, for for the July fourth celebration.

177
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,720
It was also a good parade, Byron York says, and

178
00:11:51,759 --> 00:11:54,600
then he talks about, you know, all of the various

179
00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,440
pieces of equipment, how it told the story. You know,

180
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,960
it starts with the r the beginning of the Army's history,

181
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840
and then like horses, the fife and drum Corps, and

182
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:07,720
it kind of works its way towards the modern.

183
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:09,919
Speaker 1: You know, modern.

184
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: Equipment, modern forces, all of that. The crowd seemed pretty big,

185
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,080
but not huge, and it was spread across an extended

186
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,919
area because it was a parade.

187
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: Right.

188
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,399
Speaker 2: White House spokesman Stephen Chung tweeted, amazing, despite the threat

189
00:12:25,399 --> 00:12:28,159
of rain, over two hundred and fifty thousand patriots showed

190
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,960
up to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of

191
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,039
the US Army. God Bless the USA. And that's the

192
00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:34,960
White House line.

193
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 3: Right.

194
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: All of Trump's opponents and the Democrat Party and the media,

195
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,080
but I repeat myself and elsewhere, they'll all say it

196
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,679
was far less right. And here's the thing, no way,

197
00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,320
there's no way to know with any certainty because many

198
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:56,559
years ago, you may recall, the National Park Service got

199
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,279
out of the business of estimating crowd sizes. Do you

200
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:06,039
remember why, Well, they came out and gave a crowd

201
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,200
estimate after the million man March that was put on

202
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:13,679
by the Nation of Islam, and they pointed out that

203
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,840
there wasn't a million people there. Now, they didn't do

204
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:19,039
it meanly or you know, they were just saying, you know,

205
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:21,840
national Park Service estimate was, you know, one hundred thousand

206
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,080
people or whatever. Still had a good turnout, a decent

207
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,960
sized turn I mean, that's a lot of people to

208
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:29,840
attend any one event, right, And so they had this

209
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,799
million man march and they did not get a million men,

210
00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:36,559
and outrage ensued, and so they were like, you know what,

211
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,519
We're not going to do estimates anymore. So it's hard

212
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,879
to know how many. There is one important thing to

213
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:47,679
also remember about crowd size right Spyron York. There is

214
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,759
a partisan component here. Trump wants to hold big, beautiful

215
00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:55,039
events in Washington because the setting is so magnificent, but

216
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,320
the district of Columbia and the surrounding counties in Maryland

217
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,519
and Virginia are heavily heavily democrat. So even with the

218
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,320
high military presence in some areas, anybody within easy driving

219
00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:14,639
distance or public transportation distance to the parade was likely

220
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,759
a Democrat. And that's just the way it is. It

221
00:14:16,799 --> 00:14:19,559
was true in twenty seventeen when Trump insisted that his

222
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:23,279
inauguration crowd was bigger than it was, and it's true

223
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,799
now for a Republican it's not really something to worry about. Though,

224
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,720
like you, if you are a Republican, you're not going

225
00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:35,399
to be able to throw a massive rally or parade

226
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:40,279
in Washington, d C. Because the Democrats won't go to it.

227
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,799
They could have gone to this, right, they could have gone,

228
00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:50,720
but they they wanted to depose kings. So now there

229
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:53,440
were some protesters, and Byron York writes about that too,

230
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,399
And no they were not like hauled away and thrown

231
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,480
in jail as all you know kingdoms do to the dissenters. No,

232
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:06,240
they just were allowed to hold signs and do their

233
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,559
chance and whatever. No violence broke out. So it was

234
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,360
entirely peaceful. There was no like mostly peaceful. It was

235
00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:18,679
entirely peaceful. It was just a parade. Of course, you'd

236
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,000
have to be pretty stupid to you know, act foolish

237
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,000
like that and start violence when you've got you know,

238
00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:31,519
the military there with all of their weaponry. One more thing,

239
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,200
he writes, the idea behind the nationwide movement was to

240
00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:40,399
create a narrative that Trump's opposition dwarfs his support, and

241
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,679
that opposition is growing as everyday Americans are shocked by

242
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,639
Trump's actions. Organizers will say, just look at the demonstrations

243
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:51,759
across the country, millions of people coming out to protest Trump,

244
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,919
and then compare that to his puny parade in Washington.

245
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,480
We are the real majority, right, That's what the No

246
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,720
King's messaging is supposed to convey among many of the

247
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:05,720
messages because they're kind of all over the place on

248
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:08,600
the messages they've got, like, yeah, there's a lot of

249
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:11,799
different messages. It really wasn't a great branding effort. But

250
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,000
the whole point is to like give this idea that

251
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,159
you know, Trump's not popular, we're the majority, and you

252
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,559
know we are going to rise up for democracy, which

253
00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:27,759
we literally just had. We we just did the democracy

254
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,399
like eight months ago and and Trump won.

255
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: Guys.

256
00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: That's really what it was about, right, This is this

257
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:35,759
is why it's a tough case for the left to make.

258
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: Here.

259
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,559
Speaker 2: They're they're working hard to make it, but it's a

260
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:44,679
tough case to make because we just did a democracy

261
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,279
and Trump won, and so you're no Kings. Things seems

262
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,879
a lot more just like TDS, Trump derangement syndrome and

263
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,639
like whining and sore losing. That's what it kind of

264
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,039
looks like to me. All Right, if you're listening to

265
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,599
this show, you know I try to keep up with

266
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,759
all sorts of current events. And I know you do too,

267
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,440
And you've probably heard me say get your news from

268
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:14,079
multiple sources. Why Well, because it's how you detect media bias,

269
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,680
which is why I've been so impressed with ground News.

270
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,480
It's an app and it's a website, and it combines

271
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:22,599
news from around the world in one place, so you

272
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,000

00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,240
using ground News a few months ago and more recently

276
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,440
chose to work with them as an affiliate because it

277
00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:42,359
lets me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom.

278
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:45,559
The blind spot feature shows you which stories get ignored

279
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:46,960
by the left and the right.

280
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,000

also supports ground News as they make the media landscape

286
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:13,480
more transparent. Alrighty, So, President Donald Trump yesterday directed federal

287
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:20,839
immigration officials to prioritize deportations from Democrat run cities, a

288
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,720
move that comes after large protests erupted in Los Angeles

289
00:18:24,799 --> 00:18:28,720
and other major cities against the Trump administration's immigration policies.

290
00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:35,400
This is according to I Am Eror mad Hanni Madonni

291
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:45,680
Inie Anyway, the Associated Press. So is it possible that

292
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:52,559
the cities that are being targeted La, Chicago, New York?

293
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,839
Could it be that those cities have implemented sanctuary city

294
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,359
policies that then drew in a large number of illegal

295
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,759
aliens over the past you know, decade. Hence the need

296
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:13,480
to focus your efforts on those cities. It's not that

297
00:19:13,559 --> 00:19:19,039
they are Democrat cities that they are because they obviously

298
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:24,839
did the policies right. But the policies drew in large numbers,

299
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,519
and so that's why you would focus your efforts on

300
00:19:27,559 --> 00:19:34,559
those cities. Are we supposed to ignore the cities? Also, Trump,

301
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,680
in a social media posting, called on US Immigration and

302
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,640
Customs enforcement officials to quote do all in their power

303
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:45,640
to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single

304
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:51,279
largest mass deportation program in history end quote. He also

305
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:57,240
added that to reach the goal, officials quote must expand

306
00:19:57,319 --> 00:20:01,559
efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities,

307
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,440
such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where millions

308
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:09,599
upon millions of illegal aliens reside. Right It's like the

309
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,599
old line, you know, they ask who has a billy

310
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,680
the kid? Why'd you rob the bank? And well, that's

311
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:20,440
where they have the money. Trump's declaration comes after weeks

312
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,359
of increased enforcement and after Stephen Miller, White House Deputy

313
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,440
chief of staff and main architect of Trump's immigration policies,

314
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,640
said ICE officers would target at least three thousand arrests

315
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,720
a day, which would be an increase from the six

316
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:40,160
hundred and fifty per day during the first five months

317
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,240
of Trump's second term, which makes sense because you go

318
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,680
from like no enforcement under Biden and then you got

319
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,839
to kind of ramp it up. And that's why they're,

320
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:54,079
you know, signing all of these Oh I heard driving

321
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,960
in today, you know, I pop around the dial and

322
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,960
I pull up the the NPR station and I I'm

323
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,240
always curious, like, oh, what do they think is the

324
00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:11,599
news today? And Jen White from one A, that's the

325
00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,160
program one A. I think it's first Amendment, but it

326
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,359
could also be like Section one a of the newspaper.

327
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,759
But do they even have sections of newspapers anymore.

328
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't like.

329
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,559
Speaker 2: They're all just basically like one one chunk now, except

330
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:29,160
for like on Sundays, I guess. Anyway, they were talking

331
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,799
about this immigration enforcement stuff, and she had on a

332
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:36,519
couple of legal experts and lawyers, and there was a

333
00:21:36,519 --> 00:21:40,400
guy on from I think he was out of Emery University,

334
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:46,160
and he's talking about the expansion of the two eighty

335
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,240
seven G program. I've talked about two eighty seven G

336
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,680
for twenty years because the quick recap is that it's

337
00:21:53,720 --> 00:22:00,200
a federal Statute two eighty seven parentheses G, and it

338
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:06,119
allows local law enforcement agents to be essentially deputized, so

339
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:10,559
they get access into the database that ICE uses so

340
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,839
when people are coming into your jail. Sheriff's offices around

341
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:18,119
the country were using two eighty seven G to identify

342
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,759
if people are illegal aliens or not. And our former

343
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:27,039
Sheriff of Mecklenberg County, Jim Pendergraph, actually implemented it here.

344
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,400
He was one of the very first in the country

345
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,119
and then proceeded to go all around the country instructing

346
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,319
other sheriff's offices how to use two eighty seven G

347
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240
because he got hired to do that as a consultant

348
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:44,960
basically for the Bush administration. And then, of course, you know,

349
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,799
the left rises up against this program and they start

350
00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:52,440
scrapping it. Our sheriff scrapped cooperation with ICE, scrapped the

351
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,839
two eighty seven G program in Mecklamberg County when he

352
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,559
was first elected, and this has gone on in you know,

353
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,799
Asheville as well Durham. So the left does not like

354
00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:06,039
the two eighty seven G program. And listening to this

355
00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:08,240
guy talk about the two eighty seven G, he never

356
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,440
tells the audience what it is, but he's very concerned

357
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,839
at all of the agreements they're up to now like

358
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,119
they had. I think he said something like there were

359
00:23:17,319 --> 00:23:20,599
one hundred two eighty seven G agreements in place when

360
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:24,039
Trump was sworn in, and now they're at like six

361
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,319
hundred and fifty and this is very alarming. It's militarizing

362
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,799
everybody and what something or I don't even know. I

363
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:34,119
couldn't even follow his logic on why this is so

364
00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:38,680
terrible to have other agencies enter into the agreement so

365
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,279
they can help identify illegal aliens that they may have

366
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,000
in custody or that they take into custody or whatever.

367
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: But I just thought, how odd.

368
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: You're catastrophizing the two eighty seven G to an audience,

369
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:54,880
to this NPR audience, and you never explained to them

370
00:23:55,039 --> 00:24:03,079
what the program does. Anyway, the Trump administration has directed

371
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:08,119
immigration officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants, and hotels.

372
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: Did y'all hear this?

373
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: Trump expressed alarm about the impact aggressive enforcement is having

374
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:19,640
on those industries, according to a US official familiar with

375
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,319
the matter, who spoke only on condition of anonymity. So

376
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:31,319
we're stopping the enforcement at farms, restaurants, and hotels. I

377
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:36,400
don't think that's a great idea, but I do have

378
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,480
some audio here.

379
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

380
00:24:40,039 --> 00:24:45,559
Speaker 2: This was a thick framed glasses wearing awful, affluent, white

381
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:51,279
female liberal from California who posted a short video with

382
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:57,559
the title bleep ice no human is invisible, which I

383
00:24:57,599 --> 00:24:59,839
don't even understand what that means. But yeah, here's what

384
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:00,400
you said.

385
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 3: So I'm in my beautiful city, LA, and I have

386
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,400
friends texting me like all morning, my gardner didn't show up,

387
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,480
my housekeeper didn't show up. Oh my farmer's market was closed.

388
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:16,680
Everyone's scared. Well, this is not going to just happen

389
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:20,480
in LA and you one percenters that only voted for

390
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:25,160
Trump because of money. Guess what You're gonna have to

391
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:28,799
do your own dishes or clean your own house or

392
00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:32,240
mowing your own lawn and owe that wonderful produce, the

393
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,400
organic produce you get for your brunches at all. Gone, Yeah,

394
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,720
you're going to actually have to do some work around

395
00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,720
your house. These people are important.

396
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: Okay, she was directing that message to one percenter's billionaires.

397
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,960
I'm assuming, right, the top one percent of wagejourners or

398
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,119
the wealthiest one percent. Maybe, Yeah, they're still not going

399
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,920
to be doing their own dishes and mowing their yards.

400
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,519
They're billionaires. They have so much money they can actually

401
00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:11,079
afford to pay the wages required of us by US citizens. Right,

402
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,920
you guys, this is not a winning message, right, Lobbying

403
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,160
to keep your indentured servants so you can pay them,

404
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:23,200
you know, off the books, under the table, less than

405
00:26:23,599 --> 00:26:28,079
the job actually would pay if they were legal. Like,

406
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,279
this is not a good look. This is not a

407
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:34,079
good argument, but they're they're.

408
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Going with it. Who's going to pick your crops?

409
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: All?

410
00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: Right?

411
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,759
Speaker 2: So spring is here a time of renewal and celebrations.

412
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,559
You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and the special days for

413
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000
mom and dad. Your family's making memories that are going

414
00:26:47,079 --> 00:26:49,440
to last a lifetime. But let me ask you, are

415
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,720
all of those treasured moments from days gone by? Are

416
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,039
they hidden away on old VCR tapes, eight millimeter films,

417
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,519
photos slides? Are they preserved? Because over time, these precious

418
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,720
memories can fade and deteriorate, losing the magic of yesterday.

419

429
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,319
Dot com producer Nick looked it up because he was

430
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,480
curious about what wagou bevet is. It was served at

431
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:52,839
the Alex Soros uma Abadeen wedding that just so happened

432
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,279
to take place the same day as the No Kings

433
00:27:55,799 --> 00:28:00,880
protesting the closest thing to a royal wedding, know in

434
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,519
the Democrat party over there up at the Hampton's East

435
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:06,559
end of Long Island, and I read through what they

436
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,759
served aside from the gross chilled pea soup. But pea soup,

437
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:18,240
but the wagoo babette babett is apparently, well, I will

438
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:20,759
let Nick, you should do this. You should, you should

439
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,799
announce what exactly wagoo babette is.

440
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: It's flap or flank steak. So it's flank steak, but

441
00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,319
with a with a fancy name, fancy name.

442
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: It's for the Hamptons.

443
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:34,759
Speaker 1: It's like.

444
00:28:36,519 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: It's like the Patagonia toothfish. You can't call it that.

445
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,599
That's its name, though, but you can't call it that

446
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,079
on a menu. Nobody will order a toothfish. Call it

447
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:55,519
sea bass, Chilean sea bass, and boom, everyone's favorite fish. Now, yeah,

448
00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:56,799
babet is a flank steak.

449
00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:03,039
Speaker 1: There you go. So did you know that? I don't know.

450
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: Well, Randy Weingarten was not at the Soros wedding. I

451
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,880
don't believe because she was out at one of the

452
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,640
No King's protests, and to be fair, her union, the

453
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,039
American Federation of Teachers, they were some of the prime

454
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:24,960
organizers of these marches, so she I do have actually

455
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,599
hang on a second, let me play the clip here.

456
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,359
But did you know that she's she's been on the

457
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,799
Democrat National Committee for like twenty something years. Did you

458
00:29:32,839 --> 00:29:36,319
know that she's been Like why is the teacher union

459
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,920
president on the DNC.

460
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 4: You are the community to this president's chaos, and together

461
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,759
we build a future of opportunity and justice for all.

462
00:29:53,559 --> 00:30:00,240
Home over fear, aspiration over anger, the promise of America

463
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:01,480
for each.

464
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,079
Speaker 1: And every American.

465
00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:06,119
Speaker 4: That is what we are fighting for today.

466
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I could not.

467
00:30:10,039 --> 00:30:12,519
Speaker 2: I could not listen to an entire speech like that.

468
00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:14,599
And the whole time she's like hopping up and down,

469
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,480
and it's kind of comical because she's very short, and

470
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:23,119
so like the shot front the camera is like below

471
00:30:23,279 --> 00:30:25,839
the lectern, and so you just see her head's like

472
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,759
kind of jumping up and down behind the lectern as

473
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:32,880
she's But what is this aspiration over anger? That's not true?

474
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:36,720
You guys like you can't just say that this is

475
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:39,319
what you're about, and when you're not actually about that,

476
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:43,599
we can all see it's all about anger. You guys

477
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,119
are just really, really angry all the time. Even her,

478
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,839
the way she's delivering the speech is anger. But anyway,

479
00:30:51,079 --> 00:30:57,799
she she's a longtime powerhouse member of the Democratic National Committee,

480
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,319
but not anymore. She's leaving the da And see, she

481
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,839
has been a member of the DNC for twenty three years,

482
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,880
and she wrote a letter to the DNC chair Ken

483
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Martin that she had fundamental disagreements with him. Quote, I

484
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,759
appear to be out of step with the leadership you

485
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:18,720
are forging. This was a letter dated June fifth. And

486
00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:20,519
I do not want to be the one who keeps

487
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:25,279
questioning why we are not enlarging our tent and actively

488
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:29,039
trying to engage more of our communities. Her departure is

489
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,200
the latest sign that the party is still embroiled in

490
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:34,319
factional disputes, and it is likely to only further finger

491
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:39,559
pointing and intensify criticism among Democrats. She's not the only one,

492
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:42,880
by the way. She backed Ken Martin's opponent in the

493
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:49,319
election of the chair, but so did Lee Saunders. Lee

494
00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:53,720
Saunders of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees,

495
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:58,920
the other union. He left the DNC too. They both quit.

496
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,039
They both sent letters and said it was because of

497
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Ken Martin's leadership and that they're not expanding. The DNC

498
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:11,519
is not expanding its coalition. This comes on the heels

499
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:14,680
of David Hogg just getting kicked out of his position

500
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,240
as vice chair of the party for basically being the

501
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:21,359
wrong gender and race. All right, that'll do it for

502
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,079
this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could

503
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:26,359
not do the show without your support and the support

504
00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:29,200
of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, so if

505
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,279
you'd like, please support them too and tell them you

506
00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:33,400
heard it here. You can also become a patron at

507
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,480
my Patreon page or go to thepetecallanershow dot com. Again,

508
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,279
thank you so much for listening, and don't break anything

509
00:32:40,279 --> 00:32:45,279
while I'm gone.
