your support. So last hour I went over a bunch
of the overrides that were completed today in the North
Carolina General Assembly. One of those overrides, I said, I
was going to circle back in true jen Psaki style,
was House built three eighteen And the name of that
is an act to modify eligibility for release and require
notification of release to Immigration and Customs enforcement when a
prisoner is subject to an immigration detainer and administer creative warrant. Okay.
So this is to close the loophole that certain sheriffs
in North Carolina all Democrats in the cities you know
Asheville or Bunkham County, Wait County, Durham, and Mecklenburg where
they do not alert ice before they release some illegal
alien that has been arrested for some violent offense. They
don't tell ICE, Hey, this guy is bonding out. We're
getting ready to release him. And so they wrote a
law they tried to force these sheriffs to cooperate to
keep the community safe. But these sheriffs ran on explicit
platforms of not cooperating with ICE, so they have found
every way possible to avoid fully cooperating with ICE. While
Sheriff Gary not my fault, McFadden continues to claim that
he is cooperating with ICE and that ICE should cooperate
more with him, him or something. So we got another
law that Governor Stein tried to veto or did veto,
and now it's been overridden. In order for the veto
to get an override, you got to have three fifths
majority in each chamber. Well, the Republicans in the Senate
control three fifths of the seats, so they have a supermajority.
They can override vetos without a single Democrat vote over
In the House, the Republicans are one vote shy of
a supermajority, so they need to get at least one
Democrat to vote with them on any override. And they
got one. And the one they got on this measure
was Carla Cunningham, a Democrat from Mecklenburg County, and she
got up and delivered a floor speech that well, I'll
say it this way. I could see her fellow Democrats
around her, because I don't know if you've ever seen
the way the legislature, the House side is laid out.
They all have their desks and they're pretty tight together,
and so when you rise to speak on something, there's
a microphone at your desk, and you pick up the
microphone and you just speak right from your chair, right
from the desk, and you're surrounded on She's surrounded by
fellow Democrats and just watching them during this speech. They
were squirming. They were squirming over what she said, and
then they were trying to stop her too. Like I
mentioned last hour, Destin Hall had to warn the gallery,
this is not an opportunity for you to chant and
applaud and cheer and scream things. This is the time
for the members to debate. These members represent the eleven
million people in North Carolina. And so this is what
he told them that when you're trying to shout somebody down,
you're saying that your voice is more important than all
the other people in North Carolina. I mean, just think
about the selfishness and narcissism required to do that. Yes,
but Democrats have been doing this for years, ever since
Republicans took control of the General Assembly. They started it
with the moral Monday movements, shut down the operations, try
to prevent the legislative body from working, from meeting, from debating,
and so over the years though they have developed. The
Republican leadership has now developed this method of you know,
you get a warning and then we're going to have
you removed by the sergeant at arms. And they're like,
they don't put up with this stuff anymore. So Carla Cunningham,
once again Democrat from Mecklenburg County.
Speaker 2: Today is a new day, but I'd like to take
a moment to reintroduce myself to each of you. I
am ados American descendants of slaves. I am a Black American,
and i am an American. I'm going to present my
case in support of House Built three eighteen as it
is time for my unapologetic truth to be shared with
all of you. First, as a people, we need to
recognize that it's not just the numbers that matter, but
also where the immigrants come from and the culture they
bring with them to another country. As the social scientists report,
all cultures are not equal to Some immigrants come and
believe they can function and isolation, refusing to adapt. They
have come to our country for many reasons, but I
suggest they must assimilate, adapt to the culture of the
country they wish to live in. No country is going
to allow people to come in and not acknowledge it's constitution,
legal systems, and laws. They were not tolerated. So do
you think I can go to another country and set
up my own rules to live by, use the language
I choose, and then tell that country that you must
speak my language. That's not going to happen, nor should it.
As a country, the United States has been more tolerant
than most other countries. Other countries are making it much
more difficult to get citizenship.
Speaker 1: We have been naive.
Speaker 2: We have been exploited and abused by the different tactics
to gain citizenship in America. It's time to wake up.
Global migration in the past was not projected to be
as it is today. We must establish new rules to
address us distinct type of migration that we are facing
in our country, state and cities. It's time to turn
the conveyor belt off.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I wonder if any of her colleagues
actually listen to what she's saying with an open mind.
Why would she be saying these things. This is stuff
that some radical right wing nazi would say, right.
Speaker 2: And adopt a global migration suitable for the times that
we're in and that is not destabilizing our communities. A
large number of people entering a country can change it forever.
In conclusion, let me share with you all what happens
when a woman lawmaker like myself choose to move differently. Yes,
I was degraded for my vote. Yes I was called
racist for my vote, and yes I was said I
was trash. However I figured it out. They want me
to stop elevating my ancestors history. They want me to
be silent in my country. They want me to line
up behind their priorities while my people and communities continue
to struggle in our country.
Speaker 1: All right, so you probably can hear a little bit
in the background there some of these frequent flyers, these democrats,
these leftists that packed the gallery for these things they've
now started like fake coughing in order to disrupt her speech,
and the speaker of the House testin hall, he's about
to shut that down in quite comical fashion. 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. The blind spot feature
shows you which stories get ignored by the left and
the right. See for yourself check dot ground, dot news
slash pete. Subscribe through that link and you'll get fifteen
percent off any subscription. I use the Vantage plan to
get unlimited access to every feature. Your subscription then not
only helps my podcast, but it also supports ground news
as they make the media landscape more transparent. I do
have some texts here. Sorry, I fell behind on the
the text line a little bit. Okay, So this was
in reference to Laura Bud saying that it's not a
god given right to possess a gun, to own a gun.
That representative it was speaking, probably went to a school
where they did not teach her the Second Amendment to
the Constitution. That's possible. She's an attorney though, That's what's amazing.
Not really, though, Does Laura Budd seriously think people in
private schools would not be vetted properly who they would
have volunteer with a conceal carried permit? I have a
conceal carried permit and had to go through proper training
for it. Common sense. She must have been left out
in the common sense department. I don't know what happened
to House Bill fifty. I don't know which one that
is off the top of my head. Okay, so I'm
caught up on the text line, So let me resume
this audio clip. This is Carla Cunningham Democrat from Charlotte
Mecklimer County here, and she voted with all of the Republicans,
seventy one of them, to override Governor Stein's veto of
this Cooperation with Ice bill, so this will now become law.
And she played the first chunk of it, and she's
wrapping up, and you can start to hear these leftists
in the gallery start doing these fake coughs and sound
effects to register their displeasure with her, and she is
calling out people like them, if not them, specifically for
the abuse that she has been subjected to for daring
to cross the Democrat line. Because when she voted for
this bill originally before it went to the henor for
his signature or veto, which you got, Vito, she started
getting the kind of abuse that Tricia Cotham got on
the school voucher issue. Tricia Coffam, educate, former educator, right
state representative, and she switched parties to become a Republican
because she was subjected to this kind of abuse from
her own party members. So now you've got the Speaker
of the House who's about to interrupt Carla Cunningham in
order to shut down this behavior that these democrats in
the gallery are engaging in mister.
Speaker 3: Speaker, lady will spin momentarily. Members, it's not a kindergarten class.
I look up and I see full grown adults, many
of you senior citizens, and you're clearly trying to make
noise like a young child might when there's having to
sit in a classroom and listening. So please, you're not
doing anything by making these noises. And if the sergeant
in arms sees the lady who just was making the noise,
the sergeant arms has the chairs direction to go ahead
and remove the lady. Again, folks, please, you're allowing folks
on both sides of this issue to speak. If you
want to come down here and debate, go run for
bublic office. Thank you. Lady continues to have a.
Speaker 2: Floor, Thank you, mister speaker. As I was saying, they
want me to line up behind their priorities while my
people and communities continue to struggle in our country. Is
this not your country? This is my country, with the
good and the not so good. This is my country.
It is a bee now. If you want to adapt
to my country, not isolate yourself, and come here, I
welcome you. But today I am telling you I am
not going to be silenced by those who disagree with
my ideology on the issue at hand.
Speaker 3: Mister speaker, Representive Cunningham, what purpose is the lady from
New handad repsent of Butler? I feel like.
Speaker 4: We're getting into personal territory and maligning the character of
the members of this body.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the lady is speaking of the personal
attacks that she received from folks outside of this body.
Unless I misheard what she said, and the lady is
correct that it's not appropriate to talk about personal attacks
of members of the body. Again, I understand her to
be saying some personal things that she received from outside.
Speaker 5: But mister speaker, in that case, I would move the
previous question.
Speaker 3: Okay, ladies not recognized formation Representive Cunningham.
Speaker 1: All right, So what that was? Deb Butler? Deb Butler
from New Hanover County, most famously of the I will
not yield biscus Speaker. Remember that it's been a few years.
This was when they overrode former Governor Roy Cooper's veto
on something when the Democrats failed to show up in
sufficient numbers and Republicans looked around and they were like, hey,
we got enough votes right now to override that veto.
So they pulled it up and they were like, let's
vote on this, and by refusing to, she grabbed the
mic and she's like, I refuse do you just went
on this rant. It went viral, of course, and she
made appearances on MSNBC as a defender of the democracy.
And the kicker on it was that had the Democrats
just left, there would not have been a quorum and
then they would not have been able to vote on anything.
But because she had this tantrum, this meltdown, they took
the vote and they override the governor. They overrode the
governor's veto. So Cunningham now concludes here just forty seconds.
Speaker 3: He could change it down the floor.
Speaker 2: Thank you, just to speaker.
Speaker 1: Oh and note how she tried to silence Carl Cunningham
as well there by calling the question.
Speaker 2: See, it was my ancestors who came over as slaves,
built this country with a strain on their backs. They
sweat pouring from their bodies in the rice fields, the
cotton fields, and the tobacco farms.
Speaker 1: For this country lived as servants.
Speaker 2: And was the footstool, I said, the footstool for far
too many feet to step on so today, if you
asked me to line up behind another group of people
to raise awareness about their plight, I don't apologetically say no.
Speaker 1: There you go. Me thinks the Democrat Party has some
bit of a riff. 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 your connection. Whether you're
celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to plan
a memorable proposal, or get family and friends together for
a big old reunion, Cabins of Asheville has the ideal

pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two eight three
six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there
is to offer at Cabinsofashville dot com and make memories

in Jersey for you have given me hope for a
Democrat to so eloquently articulate what sensible conservatives have tried
to express for so long. I now have to rethink
my position that we might be in the end times. Well,
you know, you never know. Maybe from the text line,
I don't know. It's from somebody in Wisconsin. This week's
Hero of the Week Carla Cunningham. Finally another crack in
the North Carolina Democrat Party, or in the another crack
in the party dam Kudos to Carla Cunningham for truly
standing up for common sense, the rule of law, and
doing what's right for her constituency and North Carolina citizens.
At large. Oh James, that's James in Waxaw. Well, the
phone number is identified as a Wisconsin number on the
text line, so that's all it says. Gary on Twitter says,
I one hundred percent support the Democrat representative from Mecklemburg
County speech. She is correct. Our country is being flooded
with cheap labor is going to far more harm anyone
without a college degree. It was the cause of fewer
jobs and decreased pay while driving up the cost of
used vehicles and housing. Yeah, that's one of those things.
I'm always amazed how nobody ever makes the connection between
the housing crunch and allowing millions and millions of extra
people into the country every year. Like that's like I
kind of feel like that's related. Right, all right, So
you heard Carla Conningham's speech, and one of the things
that she said a couple times there at the end
was she was talking about my country. This is my country.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 1: That prompts a response from former judge Marsha Morey, Democrat
from Durham, and this awful is going to rebut her
fellow Democrats argument.
Speaker 4: We've heard passionate debate about this, and I'm going to
be from the first one to say, this is not
my country. This is our country.
Speaker 1: Oh so brave, just please stop, just stop. You're not
like this. That's not clever, right, it's our Well, who's
our Who do you include in our will? She tell us. Oh,
I bet she does, and I bet her definition is
a bit more, shall we say, expansive than mine.
Speaker 4: This is our country. Native Americans, African Americans, immigrants, we
have all built this country.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you hear what she just did there. She
conflates all immigrants legal with illegal. Right, she conflates them
all together, because most Americans are fine with legal immigration.
Most Americans understand that this is a nation of immigrants
coming from all over the world, attracted by an idea,
a concept, the free market, guaranteed rights endowed by our creator.
Despite what that Democrat lawyer said from the House floor earlier, right,
these are god given, inalienable rights, and our constitution limits
the government in a way that it does not do
so for like any other country on the planet. It says,
this is it like these are the enumerated power. Everything
else is reserved to the states and the people. Right,
these concepts, this ability to work, hard play by the rules,
get ahead. That's the draw freedom right. In one word,
it's freedom. It's not the democracy, it's freedom. So when
Carl Cunningham is up there talking about illegal immigration and
this creating all sorts of problems, and it's displacing her
people who are black Americans who have borne the brunt
of the competition for the lower paid positions because the
illegal aliens that come in, they get taken advantage of
by disreputable employers that are willing to pay them less
money to do the same job that an American would
require more to be paid. And so she's pushing back
on this, but she's got the the apt white female
liberal from Durham who's going to tell her how it
really is. It's our country, don't you see. And then
she conflates legal with illegal immigration.
Speaker 4: But what does this bill do? It denies that immigrants
are an essential part of our community.
Speaker 1: It doesn't.
Speaker 4: It denies that they are neighbors, that they are co workers,
that they are our friends.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that they are any of that family. No, none
of that.
Speaker 4: We all agree we wan't safe communities. But as we
have heard, that's no longer the issue with this bill.
It is scapegoating. It is scapegoating immigrants, and research has
shown us that the immigrant community is less likely to
commit crimes than the US citizen.
Speaker 1: She never says the word illegal. It's always just immigrant community, immigrant,
this immigrant that.
Speaker 2: That is a fact.
Speaker 4: We need to work towards finding solutions, not creating divisiveness
and ignoring community concerns. This is furthering an anti immigrant
agenda no matter what the cost, and when police act
as immigration agents, witnesses or victims of crime are going
to be less likely to report crime, to be protected
by our communities, and forcing law enforcement to cooperate with
ICE has led to racial profiling of black, brown, and
immigrant communities, with law enforcement targeting people based on appearance
and not criminal behavior.
Speaker 1: Again, this is to ensure that the sheriffs call ICE
when an illegal alien has been arrested for something violent
and they're in the jail. That's what this bill is.
This isn't sending cops out into the streets to go
target people. This is about Hey, Sheriff Gary McFadden, not
my fault, McFadden, pick up the phone and call ICE
so we can come take custody of this suspect and
do it in a safer way than out on the street.
That's it.
Speaker 4: You know.

But apparently American Eagle, the clothing manufacturer, apparently they're Nazis.
I've been reliably informed of this by multiple media outlets today.
I had no idea, which is weird because I think
it was founded by some Jewish guys. But Nazis so
and they know the media and the these TikTok influencers
that are driving the the legacy media. Apparently they know
this because they put Sidney Sweeney in an ad and
the ad says that she has good genes, and American
Eagle makes genes and they show her in the genes.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: See, so like you see the obvious Nazi connection here, right,
I mean it's like it's very blatant. So, in case
you don't know, Sidney Sweeney is what may be referred
to in some circles as a quote unquote smoke show.
She's very attractive and at least if you were into
the you know, the voluptuous good looks that sort of
thing as attractive. Okay, So she also has blonde hair
and blue eyes. See Nazi, Nazi, Nazi all over the place.
It just like screaming Nazi at us. Yeah, MSNBC headline
Sidney Sweeney's edge shows an unbridled cultural shift towards whiteness.
Advertisements are always mirrors of society, and sometimes what they
reflect is ugly and startling. Here was Yeah, here is
ABC's Good Morning America. They did a they did a
brief piece on this as well.
Speaker 7: I'm check the pulse. We begin with the backlash of
our new ad campaign featuring actress Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: The ads are for American Eagle and the tagline is
Sidney Sweeney has great genes.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 8: In one ad, the blondehair, blue eyed actress talks about
jeees as in DNA, being passed down from her parents.
Speaker 7: The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda
with racial undertones.
Speaker 5: The coun good cheat.
Speaker 1: This is this is uh, let me see your name.
Robin landa professor at Keen University, never heard of.
Speaker 5: It activates a troubling historical associations for this country. The
American eugenics movement and it's prime between like nineteen hundred
and nineteen forty, weaponized the idea of good genes just
to justify white supremacism.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: It also justified planned parenthood. Yeah, uh huh do you
know Charles Krault, the newsman guy. His father, I believe,
was the Mecklenburg County Director of Health and he was
a big Eugenesis guy. They named a building after him,
I think at one point here. Yeah, so there's a she.
So the ad campaign is she's dressed in all denim
and she she talks to the camera and she's like, oh,
you know, my parents gave me good genes or something
because she's attractive. See, like that's why. Oh I'm attractive
because my parents passed down the good genes and then
good genes. And then she crosses out g E n
e S on one billboard and writes Jenes j e
a n s. Right, you get it, good gens. It's
a play on words. She has good genes because she's attractive.
She has good genes because they're American eagle. That's literally
all there is to this people. But no, we can't
have nice things. So here's a sample of the kind
of dumbassery that has been occurring. You guys are complaining
about that Sydney's Sweeney jeans, and so I went and
saw it. That's Nazi propaganda.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be like kind of fad
that's gonna be in history book.
Speaker 6: I will be the friend that's two woke because those
Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ads are weird, like fascist weird,
like Nazi propaganda weird. Would we be surprised that a
company whose name is literally American Eagle is making fascist
propaganda like this?
Speaker 1: Probably not okay. So just to paint the picture here,
both of those women that you just heard speaking have
nos rings ones in front of a trans flag. They
both have the big glasses. It's right, like right out
of Central Casting. Here, only the dog, here's the dog whistle.
I'm not sure how many times we have to go
over this, but only the dogs hear the whistle. If
you are hearing a whistle about a jeans ad with
Sidney Sweeney saying I have good jeens because she's attractive.
But you see white blue eyes and you think, oh
my gosh, they're you genesists and Nazis, Like you're the
dog in the dog whistle metaphor. David Harson at the
Washington Examiner. He says, I'm not a sociologist, but I
think the Sweeney ed shows an enduring cultural desire to
see hot people on TV. I think, yeah, I think
that might actually be it. I think that's all that's
going on here. But yes, in case you are, if
you are wondering, we have indeed entered the zone, in
the zone of dumb mass. Now, on the bright side,
this one's probably only going to be very short lived.
I don't see this one having a lot of legs,
unlike Sydney. So I'm sorry. That's terrible joke. Terrible joke.
