10
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,399
Speaker 2: I usually have the clarity and conviction of the English language,

11
00:00:32,439 --> 00:00:35,840
command of the words to use, the proper utterances and

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,679
verb tenses and things and ways to communicate, but the

13
00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:44,280
Panthers games leave me stuttering. It's like, wait, what you know?

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,439
Inability to know where the first down is, inability to

15
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:51,560
make a pass. Just watching that game last night was painful.

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,119
I'm not trying to be judgmentally here. I would love

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,399
I'm shocked that the Panthers are doing that as well

18
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,280
this season as they are, But when you watch them

19
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:03,039
sometimes it looks like a high school team could beat them. Now, Nick, Nick,

20
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:05,000
are you over there? Are you are you listening to this?

21
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:07,120
Did you guys?

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:07,719
Speaker 3: So?

23
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,159
Speaker 2: What did you you listen to some of it is

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,439
it just me or is it just painful sometimes to

25
00:01:13,599 --> 00:01:16,680
listen to her watch? Well, first of all, the radio

26
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,640
broadcast is excellent. But beyond that, yeah, it was tough

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,760
for us. I agree, but it's just yuah, it sounds well,

28
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,159
it sounded like we started off but then it just

29
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:28,480
it was one of those nights again. It was right,

30
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:32,239
the defense had three intersept they intercepted San Francisco three times.

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,959
The Panthers couldn't turn that into any points. It was embarrassing.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,920
It was just like, oh, but anyway, twenty to nine

33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,319
last night, and yet and yet they're you know, only

34
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,560
like a half game out of first place in their division,

35
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:44,719
which says a lot about how bad the division because

36
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:47,480
the Bugs lost the night before. Anyway, this is a

37
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:50,599
political talk show, and yet we're endeavoring to entertain you

38
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,920
with regale you with tales of Panthers gone wayward. And

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480
Christian McCaffrey just single handedly destroyed the Panthers. It must

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,640
have been an interesting revenge grim. He said, yeah, you guys,

41
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:03,599
you could have kept me, could have built a better

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,040
team around me, but I'm just gonna run all over you.

43
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:08,560
So anyway, chat Adam sitting in for Pete Calender. The

44
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:11,000
boy sounds a little different. It's me, it's not he.

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,639
He is hopefully enjoying his time off as I take

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,879
hold of the microphone here and have a great time

47
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,000
at News Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WPT. If

48
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:20,800
you would like to get in on the conversation, because

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,879
we will cover a number of topics, you're welcome to

50
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,159
do so seven oh four five, seven oh eleven ten,

51
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,400
or maybe you have one on your own. We had

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,240
a caller yesterday, Ernest talking about the the military with

53
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:37,759
these ex military or people in Congress that had made

54
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:41,240
a video kind of alluding to the fact that troops

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,639
should disobey their commanders and like Mark Kelly had, you know,

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,240
and he was in it, slucking a bunch of six

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,319
of them total. And you have to wonder his questions

58
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,520
were germane. He's asked who was behind the video? Who

59
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:56,120
there had to be. They didn't just come to this

60
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,639
on their own. It was organized. It was structured who

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,840
turned it down because I'm sure other people were approached

62
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:03,680
about it in Congress, but these Democrats just went and

63
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,919
led you to believe that there was some kind of

64
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:10,840
illegal commands that were taking place. Now that in and

65
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:14,000
of itself accomplished the propaganda they wanted to. It got

66
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:16,680
out there, and so it leaves in people's minds this

67
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:20,560
thing that illegal commands are coming down the pipe. And

68
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:23,039
when they were interviewed about it, are you aware of

69
00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:26,960
any illegal commands? No, they're not. They just believe it

70
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,919
could happen. They believe it it could not that it is.

71
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:33,159
And then they tried to turn their attention to the

72
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,719
domestic front. Well, you know, deploying US troops on our soil.

73
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:42,639
That's bad. They don't put context. They don't have any context.

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,520
The thing. It's like when you see somebody driving slowly

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,159
your neighborhood. You're mad, You've got to be somewhere, you

76
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:47,919
got an appointment, and then you get around them and

77
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960
you realize, you know, hey, they're like, just I'm glad

78
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,879
they were able to drive. They were driving safely, they

79
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,319
were just driving the speed limit. Context, but these Democrats

80
00:03:56,319 --> 00:04:00,759
had no context for their assertion that the US military

81
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,919
was used in some kind of surreptitious way, The camp

82
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,039
commander in chief was doing something unconstitutional. But they wanted

83
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,039
to leave that image in your head. And Ernest was

84
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,400
great to point that out and ask very difficult questions

85
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:14,759
that now other people are asking. So we'll see how

86
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,240
that ends up. Now, I want to kind of start

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,560
there going into this, we talked about, you know, the

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,560
socialist the Mundani thing. Not to belabor it, but just

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,439
as you watch the Democratic Party the non Democratic Party,

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,079
I guess I should say Democrats are not very democratic.

91
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,720
You saw that last year. It's not hard to say

92
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,800
they weren't democratic. They didn't even have a primary. They

93
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:37,759
threw their one guy under the bus, and then they

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,480
handpicked the successor to be the person having not received

95
00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:44,319
any votes during a primary, to be their standard bearer

96
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,560
into the election. So they weren't democratic at all about that.

97
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,720
But having said all that, and there's a story about

98
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,800
the Biden administration that we'll get into later about immigrants

99
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,800
and airports, and it's just the more we learn, the

100
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,120
worse it looks, and the Trump durand syndrome behind a

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,959
lot of the actions of the left right now. But

102
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:06,199
this all kind of come comes home to roost here

103
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:11,480
in Charlotte because you have a mayor that doesn't seem

104
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,720
to care about the law, that that hand picks what

105
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:22,560
she thinks the law should be. And the sad reality

106
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,279
about that, and we'll get especially as we get after

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,160
the brank is what does that mean? I mean, if

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,360
you're a Charlotte tean, or even if you're in the

109
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:33,040
ancillary areas, if you're in Huntersville or mint Hill or Matthews, whatever,

110
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,160
if you're in these other areas in and around Charlotte,

111
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:38,480
or even in Union County or Gas or Coberras, and

112
00:05:38,519 --> 00:05:41,399
you look inward, you look at where the city of

113
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:45,720
Charlotte is heading. Okay, let's just say, what is the

114
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:49,839
course that's being charted by the leadership of those running

115
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:53,800
the city vilials being the mayor, and it's a mayor,

116
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:56,680
it's it's a mayor manager form of government for most

117
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,879
the word Dylan Rual state the mayor doesn't have a

118
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,480
lot of power, but it certainly set a tone and

119
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,360
she makes comments. And remember how they kind of covered

120
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:07,399
up the death of the young lady on the on

121
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:11,000
the light rail, not covered ups too strong, but didn't

122
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,319
far from that, they withheld information from the public about

123
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:16,360
that death, an unnecessary death, someone who had been through

124
00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,000
the system multiple times. But if you were to look

125
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,000
just objectively, I don't care if you're a Democrat or

126
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Republican or unaffiliated, and you were to look at the

127
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:29,560
direction Charlotte is headed. So Charlotte has many wonderful things, banking,

128
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:34,360
It's got so many things going for it. But remember

129
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,839
the HP two situation started in Charlotte, the men and

130
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,319
women's restroom. That issue really kind of started germinated in Charlotte.

131
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,480
It's laughable to look back on, but remember how big

132
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,480
an issue that became from Pat McCrory. But if you're

133
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,240
looking at Charlotte and where it's headed politically, do you

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,519
believe the city is headed toward the right, toward fewer regulations,

135
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:02,399
more efficiencies lower? Do you believe that's the direction that

136
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:06,040
has been charted? Or do you believe it has the

137
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,680
aspirations to be more like Chicago or Memphis? Do you

138
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,279
believe that it seems to be turning its back on

139
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:20,720
law abiding citizens and picking and choosing other political issues

140
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:25,040
rather than legal ones. In other words, is it is

141
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,720
aspiring to be a Seattle? Is it aspiring to be

142
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,879
a Mom Donnie kind of New York? Now I'm not

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,720
saying that Vililes is like Mumdanni, but you certainly need

144
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,199
to question the direction that and I'll get into that

145
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,079
after the break. We will talk about some of the

146
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:45,639
statements the mayor's made. What the question why? I would

147
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,199
ask that, and many of you who listen to this

148
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:49,959
kind of broadcast or listen to Peter or Vins or

149
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:53,680
any the other people. But you know, these are issues

150
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920
that come up frequently, and then you have to wonder.

151
00:07:56,959 --> 00:08:00,199
You can't blame the mayor entirely for this, because you

152
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:02,480
have to wonder, what are the citizens? Why do the

153
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,519
citizens not seem to care the people who live in Charlotte.

154
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,439
I mean, many of the other areas around Charlet there

155
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160
very conservative, and maybe that's it. Maybe that those who

156
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:14,720
can leave and those who do have the option they

157
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,160
leave Charlotte. It leaves everyone behind that thinks that they

158
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,959
are owed something by town officials, that they are owed

159
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,800
something by the government. And so you end up heading

160
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,600
in that leftist way, that more socialist way of thinking

161
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,080
that you can just redistribute, you can just redistribute.

162
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to

163
00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:39,639
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina?

164
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:42,480
Just a quick drive up the mountain and cabins of Asheville.

165
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:46,320
Is your connection, whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,

166
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,600
maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,519
family and friends together for a big old reunion. Cabins

00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,279
on the in on the conversation seven O four five,

186
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:54,639
seven oh eleven ten. And with that being said, CJ,

187
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,240
I appreciate you calling in. How are you today?

188
00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, well I haven't talked to you in a while.

189
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,799
Appreciate you. But I've concerned about this raid thing. And

190
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:07,360
when they just it was told that if you have

191
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:10,559
a criminal record, you could be arrested. But apparently they

192
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,840
said today three hundred were arrested, but not all of

193
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:16,519
them are criminals. Now that is concerning to all of it.

194
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:19,879
They can just sit and rest arrest anybody. I thought

195
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:21,720
it was only criminals like from.

196
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: These jaels and the CJJ CJ. Hold on, CJJ, CJ, CJ, CJ. Well,

197
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:31,399
let me just correct one thing. They didn't arrest them.

198
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,799
They detain people and determine what their status is. And

199
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,759
that even the gentleman Generaldo Heraldo Ortiz Puerto Rican that

200
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,120
was pulled out, he's been detained twice and released. They

201
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,840
didn't even take him. They didn't process him in jail

202
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:47,360
or anything like that. So yes, that does if you're

203
00:10:47,399 --> 00:10:49,600
in certain groups and they bring them in that does

204
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,399
that make it great?

205
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:50,639
Speaker 3: No?

206
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: Is that a great thing?

207
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: No?

208
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 2: So I can't disagree with you there, But do you

209
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,559
are you interested in any of these people that are

210
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,720
here illegally and have been arrested, released by Charlotte and

211
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,559
not complying with immigration officials? Are you interested in those

212
00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:07,639
people being left on the streets.

213
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 3: Well, I'm having trouble and having trouble hearing you, honey,

214
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:13,840
I don't know what's going on.

215
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well I pause. What I was asking is

216
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:20,519
do you think that the people that are being arrested

217
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,919
that are criminals should be arrested and deported?

218
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 3: Well, I would say that someone that has serious credentials.

219
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,759
You know, there have been murders of rapist, this type

220
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:34,720
of thing. They're the ones I thought they were going

221
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:36,000
to try to get off the street.

222
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: Basically, Well, CJ, let me read you a couple. Let

223
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:45,480
me let me read you. CJ. Let me read you, CJ,

224
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,960
let me read you a couple. Okay, So these are

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,159
people that were arrested in Charlotte and released with not complying.

226
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Hordan Renaldo Chavez, criminal alien from Costa Rica arrested for

227
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,960
indecentelebrities with the children, first degree sexual exploitation of a minor,

228
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,360
attempted statutories, sexual offense with a child, solicitation of a

229
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,639
child by He was released after authorities in Charlotte failed

230
00:12:05,639 --> 00:12:08,320
to honor the ICE detainer. Then you have Osmond Ornando

231
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,840
Pia's order Ties, a criminal illegal alien from Hondoras statutory

232
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:13,840
sex offense with a child in decent liberties with a

233
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:17,080
child sex sex by a substitute parent. Costume was released

234
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,080
by Charlotte officials after he failed they failed to honor

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,240
the ICE detainer so he could be deported. Jefferson Mooyse

236
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,720
Modatina Sorto, a criminal alien from Hondora's sexual battery resisting

237
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:29,480
an officer, fleeing, eluding arrest with a motor vehicle, also

238
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,720
held by Charlotte, released without honoring the ICE detainer. So

239
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:38,960
Charlotte is processing people and releasing child sex offenders into

240
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,720
the streets, multiple people. And I've got lists and list

241
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,120
of these people, and these are also being arrested. I

242
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:47,360
don't hear you saying you're concerned about that.

243
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 3: Oh, I am concerned very much. So that doesn't make

244
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,519
any sense either.

245
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, why would Charlotte be releasing these people back in

246
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,399
verify what exactly who they're arresting, why type of thing,

247
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,919
So you can look at that.

248
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,799
Speaker 3: You can go to that what's going on.

249
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,759
Speaker 2: You can go to DHS dot gov. They have all

250
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:10,240
the list of people who have been arrested, and there's

251
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,519
over three hundred of them now three fifty I believe

252
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,039
in counting that. You can look at their criminal you

253
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:18,799
can look at their criminal records. But this happened. I mean,

254
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,679
I just want you to understand the context. The reason

255
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,200
this happened is because Charlotte officials, for whatever reason being

256
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,720
a sanctuary city I don't know, will arrest people that

257
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:29,440
do have criminal backgrounds and do have crimes and then

258
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,879
releasing them and not cooperating with the government. Now, the

259
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,320
mayor of this city has said she took an oath

260
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,039
to defend the constitution, to defend the laws of the country,

261
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:43,600
and she isn't interested in doing that, And I think

262
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:46,600
that's problematic. I mean, would you think it's problematic if

263
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,320
you have groups of individuals that are leading a great

264
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,600
city like Charlotte that don't want to comply with the law.

265
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,799
Speaker 3: That's definitely our mayor is I think is corrupt my

266
00:13:57,919 --> 00:14:03,360
personal opinion, okay, and I wish they'd gotten a new

267
00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:05,720
mayor in and clean things up a little bit.

268
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,799
Speaker 2: Well, okay, I'm not going to get into that one.

269
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,720
I'm not as profoundly knowledgeable about whether she's corrupt or not.

270
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,919
I know some other Charlotte officials that have gone down

271
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,279
that path and left for those reasons. But I do

272
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,200
I really agree with you on this. I don't want

273
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,200
Americans Puerto Rican citizens are American citizens. I don't want

274
00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:30,919
them arrested. I don't want them to be deporting willy nilly.

275
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:34,720
I want them to verify who they're getting, and if

276
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,440
they're finding criminals and people who are illegal, get those

277
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:41,639
It is an almost a herculean impossible task. I think

278
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:44,080
they're doing the best they can. I wish that Charlotte

279
00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:48,399
would stop trying to harbor and release criminals and start

280
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
at least cooperating so that this didn't have to take place.

281
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,360
So that would be my take on it. Fair enough, fair.

282
00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:01,679
Speaker 3: Enough, I agree, Thank you very much. I enjoy hearing you.

283
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:03,600
I wish you could be on all the time.

284
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: Wow. Well that is that is high praise indeed, CJ.

285
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,039
And thank you for calling in and being part of

286
00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:12,159
the broadcast. Okay, you're welcome. So and again I would

287
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:16,120
agree with her this. It is a Being an American

288
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,720
means you you believe everyone has the right. Meaning you're

289
00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:22,960
an American. You don't have the right to not be processed.

290
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,960
They can't just arrest you willy nilly, and so detaining

291
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,600
someone and determining status happens. Heck, it happens on college

292
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,320
campuses when copsule detained students, you know, and they're drunken, disorderly,

293
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,120
or maybe they're not, or maybe they suspect them of

294
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:39,720
underage drinking. It happens. It doesn't make things right. They

295
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,000
didn't mirandize them. They're not arresting them. They're detaining and

296
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,279
finding out status. So that's suspicion. So if there is

297
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,039
reasonable suspicion, they do. But this whole website about people

298
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:54,559
who have been arrested that Charlotte Charlotte's I don't know

299
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,399
law enforcement, you know, due to sanctuaries, I don't know.

300
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:03,000
But when you have someone that's another vehicle, theft, larceny, trespassing, burglary,

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,159
forced entry, property damaged possession of stolen property, in drug possession,

302
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:09,480
that's one person was released after authorities failed to honor

303
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,279
the ICE detainer in Charlotte. And then you wonder how

304
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:16,840
someone gets killed on a light rail when they've been

305
00:16:16,879 --> 00:16:18,360
through the system, And that was someone who was a

306
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,200
legal citizen, but it was a criminal that was released

307
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,639
back into the streets. So there are serious questions that

308
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Charlotte needs to answer for. There are serious questions that

309
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
either the council, the mayor law enforcement. I don't know,

310
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,840
but if law enforcement were actually working with the US

311
00:16:34,919 --> 00:16:37,879
government rather than against the US government, then this wouldn't happen.

312
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,519
But our operation, Charlotte's Web is certainly delivering. And the

313
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,159
list of criminals is I was just reading you the

314
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:47,960
list of criminals that had been detained from Charlotte and

315
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:51,799
then released back into the public. These these sex offenders

316
00:16:51,799 --> 00:16:53,480
with miners and stuff that have been released back into

317
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:56,240
the public and not detained. And so ICE has a

318
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,039
list of those, and it also has the list of

319
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,399
people that have been arrested, and it it is, oh,

320
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,079
there's some bad there's some bad ones out there all right.

321
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this show, you know, I try

322
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,720
to keep up with all sorts of current events and

323
00:17:08,759 --> 00:17:10,839
I know you do too, and you've probably heard me

324
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,079
say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because

325
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,799
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've

326
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,160
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and

327
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,240
it's a website and it combines news from around the

328
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,000
world in one place so you can compare coverage and

329
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,920
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,

330
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,240
dot news slash pete. I put the link in the

331
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:37,519
podcast description too. I started using ground News a few

00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: You can just like Trump all you well, sometimes he's

343
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,839
just hilarious, and the pardoning of the turkeys today has

344
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,440
become kind of a stand up routine and before I

345
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,720
get into Mayor Lyles, which I wish she could be funny,

346
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,880
but I found her to have that great sense of humor,

347
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,720
so and I'm not going to play the closer. It

348
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:30,240
was kind of read, they're funny enough if I've kind

349
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:33,000
of tried to give you context of the tradition of

350
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,839
pardoning two turkeys. By the way, they're going back to

351
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,039
Raleigh to live this wonderful life of turkey whatever, like

352
00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:40,519
as if the turkey would know. In a hilarious moment,

353
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:44,480
Trump declares last year's Biden turkey pardens to be null

354
00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,519
and void. The turkeys were about to be processed. That

355
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:50,079
Trump has saved them. Everyone's cracking up, he used, But

356
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,839
he said, Biden used an auto pen for the turkey

357
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,559
pardons last year, so I have the official duty to determine,

358
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:59,480
and I have determined it. Last year's turkey partons are invalid,

359
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,000
and are the pardons of about every other person that

360
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,480
was pardoned after the Where's Hunter. The turkey's known as

361
00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:08,559
Peach and Blossom last year have been located and they

362
00:19:08,559 --> 00:19:10,839
were on their way to be processed. But I have

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,160
stopped that journey and I'm officially parting them as well.

364
00:19:13,279 --> 00:19:16,000
They will not be served for Thanksgiving dinner. He went

365
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,839
on to say that our Secretary RFK Junior has certified

366
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:23,200
that the turkeys Turkey's being pardoned today are the first

367
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,279
ever Maha turkeys make America healthy again turkey weighing over

368
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:29,599
fifty pounds each, these are two of the largest turkeys

369
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:32,480
ever presented. In other words, they could be fat, but

370
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:37,119
they're still healthy turkeys. Hen says, there were about the

371
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,440
turkeys that I'm partying were about to be sent to

372
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:43,400
President Naive bukelis Secot in El Salvador, but he stopped it.

373
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,640
I'd like to thank the president of that country, he said, Goblin, wallll.

374
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,519
We're going straight to the terrorist confinement center in El Salvador.

375
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:54,640
Even those birds don't want to be there. He's just

376
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,319
having so much fun with this, and he says President

377
00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,720
Trump was about to name the turkeys he's partnering Chuck,

378
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:02,079
and but then I realized, he said, I wouldn't be

379
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,160
partoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I

380
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,759
wouldn't care what Malania told me. So it's just become

381
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,440
kind of a comedic and this is just happening in

382
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,720
the fast like thirty minutes or so that that this

383
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:17,640
is going on. It is kind of funny just to

384
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,079
add some levity to you know, kind of It's so

385
00:20:21,559 --> 00:20:28,680
easy to get this, uh, to get overly toxic. You know,

386
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,480
it's so easy even I try every day to not

387
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:38,039
be toxic. I profoundly disagree with the political left. I

388
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,960
think they're going down the socialist strain. It's it's almost

389
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,599
as if they have no read on history whatsoever. When

390
00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:48,039
when their party continues to track to the left, I

391
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:50,559
know many rank and file Democrats that are friends of

392
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:53,640
mine that are very concerned about this issue. And I

393
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,200
know many of you in the audience, because I know

394
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,079
this audience is very diverse politically and every other way imaginable.

395
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,319
And it's got to disconcerting to watch it tack toward

396
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,160
AOC Bernie Sanders Mandani, you know, to see it move,

397
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:12,559
and it's it's got to be difficult for mainstream Democrats

398
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:16,400
to celebrate those victories say, look, our party is doing great,

399
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,680
because many of those Democrats back almost half of them,

400
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,279
and this is this is also disconcerting. Almost half of

401
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:25,599
them in Congress voted for or just over half voted

402
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:30,440
for a condemnation of socialism. The more alarming component to

403
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,839
this is last week's resolution one hundred plus Democrats voted

404
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:41,839
against condemning socialism. That is alarming on yourself that people

405
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,160
believe that that in any way, that but for tweaking

406
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,839
it here and there, that somehow the results of socialism

407
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:54,839
would be different. It never is. It always ends up

408
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,759
in people starving, people being killed, political enemies being hunted down.

409
00:21:58,799 --> 00:22:03,039
It always ends up up. And there's probably never been

410
00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:07,880
a system of government that has killed more humans anywhere

411
00:22:08,039 --> 00:22:10,079
on the planet. If you add them up over time,

412
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:13,799
it's just astounding. So but I want to get back

413
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:16,920
to the Charlotte situation as we get you know, as

414
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,279
we wrap up our first hour year, and anyone who

415
00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:20,519
wants to get in on the conversation, by the way,

416
00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:22,519
Chat Adam sitting in for Pete Callender here on News

417
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,759
Talk eleven ten ninety nine to three seven oh four

418
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,240
five seven zero eleven ten, five seven eleven ten, you

419
00:22:29,279 --> 00:22:32,759
can get into the conversation. Is that the story I

420
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,680
think the Charlotte media, and I don't want to be

421
00:22:35,039 --> 00:22:38,480
disrespectful to them, you know, it's it's kind of disappointing

422
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,440
that they choose to be so political, And what I

423
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,039
mean by that is, rather than really digging into this issue,

424
00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:51,960
it's more important to them to like show Operations Charlotte's

425
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,400
Web from only one perspective that somehow it's bad, without

426
00:22:56,559 --> 00:23:02,160
trying to provide context. Why did Operation Charlotte's Web come about?

427
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,519
What was the City of Charlotte doing that led to

428
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:07,640
the decision to do this and expand it's now expanding

429
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,279
toward Raleigh, another city that's decided to go left and

430
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,759
asking tough questions. So I want to read to you what, Well,

431
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:23,200
maybe I'll get this right. But the oath that she

432
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,519
took when she took office, So the oath that Mayor

433
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:35,000
Lyles took is that that she did solemnly Well, here

434
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:40,559
we go, I, Mayor lyle By Lyles, do solemnly swear

435
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:43,519
affirm that I will support and maintain the Constitution and

436
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,400
laws of the United States and the Constitution in laws

437
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,440
of North Carolina not inconsistent therewith, and I will faithfully

438
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,319
discharge the dues of my office as Mayor of the

439
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,680
City of Charlotte. So help me God, she took that oath,

440
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,640
she didn't take sit and say, well, I'm going to

441
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,720
take this oath sept for immigration laws because I don't

442
00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:09,079
like immigration laws. So she took the oath to defend

443
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:14,880
and support the laws of the United States. So when

444
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,960
she decides to hand pick and to oppose that, she

445
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,440
she has technically violated her oath of office. Now that

446
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,480
may not matter to many people. It should, it should

447
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:28,880
matter to her, but it doesn't seem to. And I

448
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,039
say that because there's there's a story over at Fox News.

449
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,160
It makes it's a national story, and and I think

450
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,279
it's a good one. It says that, you know, violent

451
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:40,240
crime in Charlotte has ignited a political storm, with Republican

452
00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:44,000
lawmakers pointing to the city's rising homicide rate. As mayor

453
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,680
Villiles leadership has faltered. Quote, when you're in charge of

454
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,680
a city, it's your job to put the best possible

455
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,039
foot forward and create as best of a perception as

456
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,839
you can. Now that that perception may or may not

457
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,200
match reality. In the case of Charlotte, the perception does

458
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,079
not match the reality. Abdul Ali, North Carolina twelve geopchair

459
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,599
person told Fox News Digital. Now, granted that's going to

460
00:25:03,599 --> 00:25:09,039
be a political perspective. Recent federal immigration raids in Charlotte

461
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:12,559
area and lawmakers calling for National Guard deployments have complicated

462
00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:16,359
City Hall's messaging on public safety success. The Charlotte Meckelburg

463
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,240
Police Department's third quarter report shows overall crime down eight

464
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,119
percent from January through September compared with a year earlier.

465
00:25:24,039 --> 00:25:26,880
Lyles's point of those numbers to argue that investments in recruiting, pay,

466
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,279
and target enforcement are working. However, the message comes in

467
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,440
Charlotte faces intensifying scrutiny over violent crime, showing how much

468
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,400
homicides have gone up truly violent crime.

469
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: You know. Stories are powerful. They help us make sense

470
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,599
of things, to understand experiences. Stories connect us to the

00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:46,720
people of our past while transcending generations. They help us

472
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:49,839
process the meaning of life and art. Stories are told

488
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 2: I do want to go back to the story I

489
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,920
was talking about with it Charlotte Mayer Viylyiles and talking

490
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,359
about the crime rate that is ongoing, and the fact

491
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,920
that you know, this isn't easy, This isn't this should

492
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:00,000
be a no brainer. But for the hatred, the hatred

493
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:04,799
of one person is really pushing those on the left

494
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,039
into these I don't know, seven levels of hell. I

495
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:12,240
don't Dante, I don't know what it is that these

496
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,519
people want to do. But they're rather than just say

497
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,279
you know what, we all, regardless of party, have a

498
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,880
vested interest in making our community safer, would rather say

499
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,000
we're just going to oppose. We're going to create a

500
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,160
sanctuary city, which is not an American thing. It's it's not.

501
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,599
It's there's nothing, there's nothing, nothing American about creating a

502
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,359
sanctuary city. It is a political statement that is anathema

503
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:35,960
to the laws of the United States about our sovereignty.

504
00:27:36,279 --> 00:27:38,920
It is absolutely anathema to those who have worked to

505
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:44,119
become sentiment citizens. It is absolutely a horrific person. I

506
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,240
don't care in regards to your political party, all of

507
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,720
you should be against sanctuary cities because it's a false premise.

508
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,279
It's not. It means you have to commit you have

509
00:27:51,279 --> 00:27:53,359
to commit multiple crime shift to get across the border.

510
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,119
You have to travel into our country illegally with no documentation,

511
00:27:56,519 --> 00:27:58,759
no no regard to what your past record had been,

512
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,920
whether you've been a criminal or time or escape from

513
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,640
a prison, doesn't matter. Once you get to the city

514
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,480
of Charlotte. If you're in a sanctuary city, you can

515
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,200
reside there, and if you don't break any laws while

516
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,759
you're there, it's okay, or maybe they don't know you

517
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:12,279
broke them. But what you've done is you've created an

518
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,519
unsafe environment. But for the fact that you either hate Republicans,

519
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,640
or hate Conservatives, or hate Trump, whatever it is, it

520
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,039
does not serve the public interest to have that perspective.

521
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,960
So this operation Charlotte's Web could easily have been avoided

522
00:28:27,599 --> 00:28:29,680
had the leaders in Charlotte said, you know what, I

523
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,039
don't care who you are. If you're here illegally, we're

524
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:34,039
going to work with immigration officials and you're going to

525
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:35,799
go back to the country where you belong. And if

526
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:37,200
you have a criminal record, you're going to move to

527
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,200
the front of the line. But you're not going to

528
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,559
come to our city, use our resources and take advantage

529
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:44,559
of our system and move ahead of other people who

530
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:47,920
are working very hard to become citizens and are playing

531
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,599
by the rules. You're not going to do it. We

532
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,279
have enough criminals here without adding to them. But that's

533
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:55,960
not what happened. So, you know, the mayor may want

534
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,640
to say, hey, things are down and better, but the

535
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,359
rise in violent crime in charlill I go back through

536
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,279
the story a little bit. It's on Fox News, then

537
00:29:02,279 --> 00:29:04,440
you have be oh, fox News a bunch of conservative news. No,

538
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,599
it's a story, it's a genuine story. The messaging comes

539
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,240
as Charlotte faces intensifying scrutiny over violent crime, with Republican

540
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:14,480
lawmakers pointing to the sharp rise in homicides and assaults

541
00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:18,279
in the Queen cities bustling downtown. It's almost weekly daily

542
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:20,720
at this point that we're hearing about the homicides in Charlotte.

543
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,359
We've averaged about one hundred or so annually on this

544
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,319
Mayor's watch. Ali's the twelfth District GP guy sharing his

545
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,319
recent attendance of multiple vigils for young children killed. I

546
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,160
think the perception that we're trying to create is one thing,

547
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,519
but the reality is different. And obviously there's an epidemic

548
00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:39,240
of underreporting of certain crimes to gen statistics. We've seen this.

549
00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:42,160
We've had the FBI even tell us that cities do

550
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:44,480
under report things or don't fly reports to make their

551
00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:48,720
stats look better, but that doesn't mean it's better. The

552
00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:51,839
rise in violent crimes prompted Republican lawmakers to urge Democratic

553
00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:54,160
Governor Josh Stein to deploy the National Guard. For now,

554
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,079
the governor has resisted that call, and local officials have

555
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,599
argued that public safety is a local responsibility. Fine, local responsibility,

556
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:05,640
then enforce the laws and prosecute criminals. Just do it,

557
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,759
and then you can resist those calls all you want.

558
00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:10,920
But you guys are acting like there's not a problem

559
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,759
when there is. The city faced eight homicides in seven days. Recently,

560
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:17,039
the murder rateing uptown Charlotte is now two hundred percent

561
00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:19,359
higher than it was a year ago, set a letter

562
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:22,000
from a trio of Republican lawmakers. According to the Fraternal

563
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:26,079
Order of Police, aggravated assaults involving knives or guns I

564
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,279
presented from eighty six in twenty twenty four to one

565
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:30,839
hundred and eleven and twenty twenty five, and personal strong

566
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,200
arm robberies have increased from twenty six to thirty one

567
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,200
in the same period. Lyle was most recently re elected

568
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,640
when he a fifth term. Her reelection came after her

569
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,400
leadership was scrutinized for her response to Arena Zarutzka's violence

570
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:48,200
stabbing in August. Again, there's no reason, there's no reason

571
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,759
that this can't be bipartisan, except for the fact that

572
00:30:51,799 --> 00:30:54,039
the Democrats are afraid that Trump will get credit.

573
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,039
Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you
