A couple of breaking news items. Apparently I'm seeing reports,
Well it's not apparently I'm seeing I am seeing reports
that apparently David Hogg might be out as DNC vice chair.
I've yet to see any confirmation of that. It was
just I saw somebody with a scoop, so we'll see. Also,
we've got a report here that hang on, let me
open this up. It is there have been a bunch
of fires set. There's a there are massive wildfires burning
in and near Jerusalem. They have arrested in arson suspect.
It is a Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem and David
ray bois rebois rebel rebey. He says, deliberately setting fire
to the land you believe is yours is the most
Palestinian thing ever, and that is that's fair. And also
the New York Times has just discovered that Christians wear
crosses on necklaces. They did a whole story on it.
So just want to get you caught up. Christians where
the cross on their necklaces. It's a brand new trend.
Apparently the New York Times has just been alerted to it,
and so they they started a deep dive. They did
a whole write up on this brand new trend. All right,
I'm so excited today, you know why, because Gary's Law
is one step closer to adoption. Gary's Law. We're going
to make this happen. We're going to make Gary's Law happen,
and hopefully it'll be called Gary's Law too, as I
feel like there's still time. Although there are other sheriffs
in the state that this could apply to, but locally,
it's I'm calling a Gary's Law forever. That's it's what
it's going to be named after our illustrious and sometimes
frustrated Sheriff Gary not my fault, McFadden. So the bill
was passed by the North Carolina House yesterday and it
would shore up requirements for local law enforcements cooperation with
federal immigration officials. The story out of the North State
Journal NSJ online dot com by our friend ap Dillon.
The bill covers arrests for felonies, and yesterday there was
an amendment offered and adopted that added a one that's
a class A one misdemeanors such as sexual battery and
battery on an unborn person, which obviously was outrageous to Democrats.
None of them supported it except one Democrat. There was
one Democrat who crossed over and voted with the Republicans
on passage of the bill. It was Mecklenburg County Democrat
Carla Cunningham, who has supported these types of efforts before
the ICE cooperation efforts. Charlotte Observer reports the House voted
seventy to forty five to approve House Bill three eighteen.
Cunningham's support for the bill stood out as several other
Democrats from Mecklinberg County spoke during the debate on Tuesday
afternoon to express their strong opposition to it, which, by
the way, this would be why nobody in Democrat leadership
in Mecklinberg County is making any kind of an effort
to remove Gary McFadden, which they can do. You can
remove a sheriff from office for maladministration, for corruption, for
other things, but that would be I would submit maladministration.
I kind of feel like, when you have eighteen deaths
in the jail in your what six year tenure, six
and a half year tenure so far, you're you got
three deaths per year at the jail, not to mention,
you know, the exodus of of your command staff, your
inability to retain qualified people the way you know, he
used racial slurs against his own command staffers, all of this,
but it would require Democrats to have to throw one
of their own out for maladministration. I have very little
doubt that there is probably a majority of Democrat officials
in Mecklenburg County that recognize the problem that McFadden is.
I want to believe that I have no data to
support this wild speculation, but I want to believe that
a majority of the Democratic leadership, both in the judiciary
and in the municipal and county governments. I have to
believe that they see the problem when when the mean
look because they're not listening to this show. They're not
listening to me say this stuff. But when this Charlotte
Observer editorial board says that he is not fit for
the office, they have got to now be aware because
you know they read the editorial board of the Charlotte Observer, right,
these are their allies, so they have to be aware
of this. And now we're running another bill. And congratulations
State Democrats having to go on the record yet again
as defending criminal illegal aliens, because that's who this is, targeting,
criminal illegal aliens. Just a quick recap of how you
end up in a jail cell in Mecklenburg County. Okay,
if you're an illegal alien and you are speeding, you
will not end up in a jail cell for simply
speeding and for simply being an illegal alien. If, on
the other hand, you murder somebody, let's say, and you
are an illegal alien, well now you will that will
land you in the Mecklinberg County jail and you will
be charged with a crime. See there's a difference. When
you are arrested for whipping up on your spouse, right,
abusing your kids or something. You get arrested because there
is probable cause to arrest you. The law enforcement officer
deems there to be probable cause, and they bring you
into the jail for processing. You then go before a
magistrate if well, if if you're charged with murder, you're
probably not going in front of a magistrate. You're probably
going to a judge. But you go in front of
a magistrate, and then the magistrate will set that bond
for you based on the charges. If you're a flight
risk and everything else, that's how you end up in
the jail. So there was probable cause to bring you
in for some sort of a violent act. Once you
are there, then the Mecklenberg County Sheriff's Office is supposed
to contact ICE and let them know, oh, hey, we
got Pete Callander in here. He's accused of some violent
criminal act and he's going in front of the magistrate,
you know, this afternoon. And then ICE will say, let's
run them through see if they're if we can confirm
their identity. See now, in the past, the Mecklimber County
Sheriff's Office used to be able to determine somebody's identity
all on their own, but then they willfully blinded themselves
to this information. By scrapping their participation in the two
eighty seven g program. That was McFadden. He didn't want
to know who's in the jail. And the reason you
do that is so you can now not cooperate with ICE.
So if somebody comes in, you treat that person as
if they are a US citizen and you're not calling
ICE to ask for confirmation of of their identity. The
purpose is to release more illegal aliens who are charged
with all sorts of crimes, every crime. So prompts the
legislature to now say no, you got to send notice
over to ICE, and you got to let them know
if you cannot identify this person's nationality, their citizenship or
visa status or whatever. If you cannot confirm it, then
you have to ask ICE. You got to send it
over to ICE. And then I says, oh, yeah, that
person was ordered deported, so hold on to them. We're
going to come get them. Do us a favor, call
us before they bond out. And McFadden said, I don't
have to call you. I'm not required to call you.
And if I were to call you, I could be sued.
Despite the fact that none of the other ninety five
sheriffs across this state that have been making those phone
calls have ever been sued. None of these other sheriffs
have ever been sued for any of these speculative horribles
that the Left say will happen if you cooperate with Ice.
It's complete and utter garbage. It is a BS argument
that Democrats keep making, and it is dumb and false.
They are counting on the audience hearing that argument to
be stupid and ignorant. All right, if you're listening to
this show, you know I try to keep up with
all sorts of current events, and I know you do too,
And you've probably heard me say get your news from
multiple sources. Why well, because it's how you detect media bias,
which is why I've been so impressed with ground News.
It's an app and it's a website and it combines
news from around the world in one place so you
can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it
out at check dot ground, dot news slash pete. I
put the link in the podcast description too. I started
using ground News a few months ago, and more recently
chose to work with them as an affiliate because it
lets me see clearly how stories get covered and by whom.

I have audio. I listened to the floor debate from
yesterday in the North Carolina House of Representatives as they
debated House Bill three eighteen, which will require sheriffs to
make a freaking phone call to Ice to let Ice
know that the guy that I said they are interested
in taking into custody is about to leave the jail,
because apparently some sheriffs need to be told, need to
be required. I am sure somebody else is going to
come along and put some other loophole, you know, in
front of our sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden, and
the four or five other sheriffs around the state that
do this same sort of game. I'm sure they're already
looking at the law or the bill rather and then
if it becomes law, they're looking at it and they're
going to try to find yet another loophole so they
can keep releasing criminal aliens back out onto the street.
That is why they oppose any kind of effort to
force the sheriffs to cooperate with Ice. They don't want
anybody to be deported. It's very simple. Like everybody who's
confused at these arguments the Democrats are making, they're they're
they're making whatever argument they can because they're trying to
find a rationalization for it. And you're gonna hear some
really stupid arguments that were delivered by our own Mecklenberg delegation,
really really stupid, like almost galactically stupid. But first we're
going to start off with the House Speaker, Destin Hull,
who is the primary sponsor of the bill. And that's
really all you need to know is because when the
Speaker of the House personally sponsors a bill, chances are
it's going to pass because he's the Speaker of the House,
right he's the leader of the House majority Republicans, so
he's the primary sponsor. He comes down, you know, off
the you know, out of the well where he's up
there leading the House meeting, the conference whatever. He's usually
up there running the show, and he comes down and
he speaks from the floor in order to defend his
and advocate for his bill. He says, ninety five out
of the state's one hundred county sheriffs fully and voluntarily
already cooperate with ICE.
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, some where around five or so sheriffs in
our state if not outright violating the law or certainly
violating the spirit that was behind that law. True that
said that when an ICE detainer gets loves, the sheriff
has somebody in their jail who's been charged with a
serious crime that they have to cooperate with ICE. So
this bill fixes any perceived loopholes that may exist in
the current wall. It requires the sheriff to communicate with ICE,
let them know that they've got someone in there they
can't determine citizenship for. If they receive an ICE detainer,
they then have to hold that person for up to
forty eight hours from the time that they would otherwise
be released, and they have to contact ICE to let
them know they've received a detainer and to let them
know when that person will be released from custody from
their jail.
Speaker 1: Okay. One of the things they also clarified here was
the timeline, because sheriffs were using the moment of take
to start the clock running on the forty eight hours.
So this way, if you got processed through, like let's
just say you're an illegal alien, you get arrested for
beating up your wife, maybe you know, beating up a
couple of roommates or something whatever, and you then get arrested,
you get taken to the jail, and by starting the
clock the moment you walk through the jail doors, that
means that if it takes, you know, a couple hours
maybe a day to get processed through and then finally
to make an appearance before a magistrate or something, Ice
gets less time. Like everything that McFadden is doing is
meant to ensure as many people who are illegally in
the country that get arrested for some sort of criminal act.
He wants as many of them to get out of
the jail before ICE can come get them. It's what
he literally ran on. He ran on a campaign promise
of not cooperating with ICE. That was six years ago.
The public mood has shifted, and that's why they're constructing
all of these silly arguments about Oh no, no, I'm
just trying to make sure I don't get sued. I'm
just trying to make sure I'm following the law, and
I just want a judicial warrn blah blah blah. You
want illegal aliens out onto the streets, that's what you want.
He has said that deportation will not solve the illegal
immigration problem. He has said that, so we have another
law or another bill. I should say, hopefully this becomes law.
It has enough votes. If Carla Cunningham votes with the
Republicans again to override agubernatorial veto, it has the votes.
Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.
Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of
Asheville is connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,

I said in the last segment that Gary McFadden has
made it very clear he does not want to cooperate
with ICE and that he does not believe deportations are
a solution to the illegal immigration problem. Okay, and because
I have this file of McFadden related dumbassary. I can
give you the quotes from him. By now, ICE should
be aware we do not honor civil detainers because they
are not signed by a judge. That is explicit, we
do not honor the detainers. I'm not sure what else
you need to hear in order to understand that McFadden
is not cooperating with ICE. He ran on a campaign
promise not to do so. He scrapped the two eighty
seven g program, and he states, we do not honor
civil detainers because they are not signed by a judge. Okay.
Then in another statement he put out, this was after
they released somebody from the jail, and I said to
go pick them up. And then he was like, not
my fault, because that's his brand. Not my fault, McFadden.
He says, this is why I continue to emphasize the
importance of open discussions with ICE. I don't know, like,
what exactly are you hoping to achieve in your open discussions.
They discussed with you the detainer request. Here's our detainer request,
and you say I don't honor those. That's the end
of that discussion. I'm not sure what else there is
to be discussed. So they have now gone around you,
and the state legislature is now going to force you
to cooperate with ICE. He says, simply deporting individuals is
not an effective solution and does not make our communities safer.
Simply deporting individual it does. Actually, it actually is a solution.
If you have a secure border, deportation is an effective
solution because then they cannot get back in, and if
they do get back in and they get caught again,
right now they can be arrested, criminally charged with re entry,
and any chance that they're going to have of getting
in the correct way, the legal way, that's out the window.
And it does make our community safer because if you
arrest a criminal, illegal alien for violence against citizens, non citizens,
anybody in the community, and then that person gets deported,
they're not going to be able to revictimize or victimize
anybody new So it does make the community safer. So
those are the receipts there for the quotes that I
attributed to him, because they are his quotes. He issued
these in press releases. What is a detainer? It is
issued by ICE. It serves three key functions. Number one
to notify a law enforcement agency that ICE intends to
assume custody of an alien in that agency's custody once
the alien is no longer subject to the agency's detention.
So if you arrest an illegal alien and they're being
held on some criminal charge, ICE does come in and
just take them and short circuit that criminal process. What
ICE does is wait until your process, your criminal process
has concluded, and then they go and take the person.
The other purpose to request information from the law enforcement
agency about an alien's impending release. So this way ICE
can assume custody in a safe environment before the alien
is released from the law enforcement agency's custody. What Gary
McFadden is doing via policy is exactly what that judge
did up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, aiding and abetting the flight
of a wanted illegal alien, a criminal illegal alien. Just
the only difference is that the judge up there, you know,
said hey, follow me out this door, and you know,
successfully got one guy out of the building. McFadden is
doing it via policy where he can release dozens, hundreds,
who knows however many law enforcement pick up. It's the
same thing. The other key function, it's a request that
the law enforcement agency maintain custody of that alien. For
a period not to exceed forty eight hours beyond when
he or she would otherwise have been released. This way,
it gives Ice some time to assume custody, to get
over there, get the personnel, get the transport vehicle, get
there and pick them up. But the thing is, it's
a request, and McFadden has been denying those requests. Why well,
see his previous statement. He does not believe that simply
deporting individuals is an effective solution, nor does he believe
it makes the community safer. That's why he won't cooperate.
And by the way, he always relies on this language
about a judicial warrant. It's got to be signed by
a judicial official. And he knows damn well that these
are administrative warrants. The detainer is administrative, it's not criminal
because these it comes out of the civil law. But
the courts all the way up to the Supreme Court
have ruled that these are legitimate warrants. And so he's
playing off of this this wording. Oh, it's not from
a judge. It has to be from a judge. But meanwhile,
you got the guy a Brago Garcia, the one that
got shipped off to l Salvador, and they were like,
no due process. He didn't have due process. Well, he
had two immigration judges that ordered him deported to which he,
by the way, agreed as long as he didn't get
sent to l Salvador, and that was the mess up.
But he was ordered deported by judges. So even then,
when you get your due process, it's still not enough.
Why because they don't want anybody deported. Like this is
the point. All of these arguments are just window dressing,
all right. So spring is here a time of renewal

says it is not about crime in my view, it's
about illegals being counted in the census, thus more seats
and more power in Congress. Yes, I have covered this
angle to it as well. You count all non citizens
as part of the census, but then they don't get
to vote, and so that's like best of both worlds
for Democrats. You get to maintain your district size and
keep your district seats and such. In states that are
losing native born citizen populations California, New York come to mind,
so if you keep piling more and more people in there,
you get to keep counting those bodies towards your towards
the census, which is used to apportion the House seats
in the United States House are representatives, and then they
don't get to vote. That's perfect right. I could represent
eight hundred fifty thousand people, but you know, only like
half of them can actually vote me out. That's wonderful.
This legislation in the North Carolina House that just passed
goes over to the Senate. Now Senate has its own version,
so we'll see what the Senate does. I'm calling it
Gary's Law. The House Speaker Destin Hall is the primary sponsor.
He said. We have seen example after example of sheriffs
in North Carolina, including Mecklenburg Sheriff Gary not my fault Macfadden,
ignoring the detainer requests from ICE and releasing illegal aliens
charged with serious crimes who bonded out or were just released.
Speaker 2: Probably the most famous example happened in Mecklinbrook County a
few years. It's really what brought all of this top
of mind to the folks in our state. Where a
person had been charged with domestic violence related defenses against
a victim and they were arrested for those things. The
sheriff then received the I detainer but ignored it let
that person walk out. That person went right back committed
another offense against that same victim, this time in order
to arrest them, CMPD had to essentially do a nine
hour standoff with that person. And that's one example.
Speaker 1: One example. He said, up until twenty eighteen, every sheriff
in the state of North Carolina cooperated with ICE and
so we didn't need a law. But after twenty eighteen,
something happened. Well, it was the election of the sheriffs
in the Democrat primaries in these Democrat controlled counties, Mecklenburg
being one, Funcome County, Quentin Miller, he won up there
while I was still working up in Asheville, same platform
as McFadden, Durham, Forsyth, Guilford, Orange County, Wake, Watauga, Chatham,
all of them. These are considered to be sanctuary jurisdictions
according to the Center for Immigration Statistics, which did a
report on these sanctuary jurisdictions that have the most declined
ice detainers, and North Carolina ranks five on the list
with five hundred and eight declined ice detainers over the
course of about two years. And they're all coming from
a handful of counties, mainly Mecklenburg, Wake and Durham and
Bunkom Destinhall said he has heard criticism about the cost
of holding criminal aliens, but he points out, well, what's
the cost to that woman who was revictimized in Mecklamburg
County in the example he just outlined, what's the cost
to her? Does that matter? What was the cost of
mobilizing law enforcement to go out and apprehend that Honduran
national in Mecklinburg County a couple of years ago. What
was the cost of that mobilization and the nine hours
stand off? What's the price tag for that? Anybody care?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: You never hear them arguing about that cost. What about
the cost when officers go out to serve warrants in
an uncontrolled environment? Yesterday was the one year anniversary of
exactly that, where four officers law enforcement agents lost their
lives trying to serve a warrant in an uncontrolled environment
when they went up to the suspect's house and he
opened fire on them and held them at bay for
like an hour or so, murdering four officers in the process. Right,
That's why ICE doesn't want to do these, uh, these
apprehensions in uncontrolled environments, which is obvious to anybody with half, no,
a quarter of a functioning brain. If I can take
custody of somebody in the jail where I know they
do not have a weapon, although Gary's not that great
on that record either, but more often than not, let's say,
chances are they don't have a weapon on them and
they're being released from custody and you are inside a jail.
Usually the suspect is in handcuffs, and you don't have
to worry. You don't have to worry about them trying
to make a break for it because they can't run
out of the building. You don't have to worry about
them assaulting you because they're wearing handcuffs. Right, You can
take custody of them more easily in the controlled environment
of a jail or a courthouse. And the story that
came out of Milwaukee with the judge ushering the criminal
alien out the back door so he can sprint away
from Ice agents. They did catch him down the street,
But that's just that's a singular example of the everything
McFadden has been doing from a policy level, no difference.
He's aiding and debetting criminal illegal aliens who want to
avoid apprehension and deportation and Destin Hull says, and I
hope he is correct that this will fix any of
these loopholes, these perceived loopholes at least, and hopefully resolves
a pretty dangerous problem that the sheriffs have allowed to fester.
They just refuse to cooperate because they voting base demanded it,
and they may believe it. They absolutely may believe that
deportations will not solve any of the illegal immigration problem.
They may actually believe it, but it also plays in
the Democrats primary, and that's really what they're about.
