All Right, so, 10 00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:33,479 if this feels like groundhog Day, it's not, but it 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,840 kind of sort of is because local Democrats are still 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,960 very angry about Carla Cunningham voting with the Republicans to 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000 pass a bill to override the governor's veto. Cunningham is 14 00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:55,000 a Democrat state representative in Charlotte, and she voted to 15 00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:01,119 override the Democratic governor Josh Stein's veto of the Immigration 16 00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:06,680 Enforcement bill that would force local sheriff's offices to fully 17 00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:11,959 cooperate with ICE. Because sheriffs like ours here in Mecklenburg 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,799 County Gary not my fault. McFadden, our illustrious sheriff. When 19 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:23,879 he's not letting people loose, he's frustrated that his command 20 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:30,319 staff forces him to use racial epithets, but she voted 21 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,480 with the Republicans and this has gotten the Democrats very angry. 22 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,959 Last week I played clips of the full was it 23 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,519 last week or maybe it was two weeks ago. I 24 00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,400 guess it was last week, and I played her full 25 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:52,840 speech ran about six minutes. She was interrupted twice by 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,480 Democrats and leftists. The first was the first interruption was 27 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,840 a bunch of the people in the gallery that started 28 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,479 coughing and clearing their throats really loudly, you know, like 29 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,800 that kind of thing, and the Speaker of the House, 30 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,159 Deston Hall, had to gabble them down and say act 31 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:18,479 like adults. Basically, by the way, we're going to have 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker of the House Deston Hall on the show here 33 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:24,639 at two o'clock, so third hour of the show today 34 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,520 will be chatting with him. They've still got more vetos 35 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,639 to get through, but on this one they need on 36 00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:35,199 all veto overrides. They need a Democrat on board because 37 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,960 they are one seat shy of a super majority, and 38 00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:45,800 so Carla Cunningham was that Democrat vote and she got 39 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:48,759 up and explained her vote in this speech. Again, she 40 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,919 got interrupted by the peanut gallery and then she got 41 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,240 interrupted by a fellow Democrat lawmaker deb we will not yeah, 42 00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:00,960 mister speaker Butler from New Hanover County, who is very 43 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,199 theatrical in her performances, and she attempted to shut down 44 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,080 Cunningham by calling the question basically, I call for a vote, 45 00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:14,800 just like the and floor debate, and let's just move 46 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,879 the question. She did not want Cunningham to be able 47 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:24,159 to finish explaining why she wanted this vote or why 48 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:28,639 she wanted to side with the Republicans, and her comments 49 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,520 were directed mainly at Democrats and Democrat voters, explaining herself 50 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080 and her colleague did not want her to be able 51 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,240 to do that. And immediately afterwards then we start getting 52 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,719 all of the condemnations from her fellow Democrats. We had 53 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:54,120 the senatement minority leader Sidney Batch, Democrat, who ripped into Cunningham. 54 00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:59,280 We saw an op or, well not an op ed, 55 00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:03,960 but a column in the Charlotte Observer by Paige Mastin. 56 00:04:04,039 --> 00:04:05,199 Speaker 2: The opinion editor. 57 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: She ripped into Cunningham saying how dare she say what 58 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,080 she said? And what is it that she said? Well, 59 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920 I will play this clip again. This was the clip 60 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,839 that I played for State Representative Caleb or sorry, State 61 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,639 Senator Caleb Tedros from Charlotte. I had him on the show. 62 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,439 I think that might have been Monday, and I played 63 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:31,959 this clip for him because he had put out a 64 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,680 statement saying that there's no room for what she said 65 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,240 in the Democrat Party. And in his post on substack 66 00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:47,720 this statement, he said that her comment is dangerous and divisive. 67 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,000 Here's what she said, and here's the clip I played 68 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,879 for him because this is the one that he quoted. 69 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,199 Speaker 3: First, as a people, we need to recognize that it's 70 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,480 not just the numbers that matth, but also where the 71 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:05,079 immigrants come from and the culture they bring with them 72 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,839 to another country. As the social scientists report, all cultures. 73 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:12,319 Speaker 1: Are not equal. 74 00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:13,319 Speaker 2: That's it. 75 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: Some immigrants come and believe they can function and isolation, 76 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:22,959 refusing to adapt. They have come to our country for 77 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:28,720 many reasons, but I suggest they must assimilate, adapt to 78 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,480 the culture of the country they wish to live in. 79 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,639 Speaker 1: So that's what got her in all the trouble because 80 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:36,800 she said all cultures are not equal. And so when 81 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,439 I had Senator ted Dross on and I asked him, like, 82 00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:42,600 you said that that's divisive and dangerous. So are you 83 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,600 making the argument that all cultures are equal? And he 84 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,040 tap danced around in he said, well, you know, I 85 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,839 don't mean it like that. It's the context of what 86 00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:53,600 she was talking about. And I said, okay, well what's 87 00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:54,079 the context? 88 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,959 Speaker 2: And well the bill. 89 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,519 Speaker 1: Okay, but the bill was about enforcement of illegal immigration law, right, 90 00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:06,120 so what was what's the context? And he never explained 91 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:13,079 the context. So now we have yet another Democrat organization 92 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,079 weighing in on this against Carla Cunningham. Here's from the 93 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,399 Charlotte Observer Sophia Bailey and Avi Bajpai. Their story begins 94 00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:26,319 THUSLYE Representative Carla Cunningham's fiery speech about immigration on the 95 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,360 House floor last week continues to draw a major pushback 96 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:34,160 from fellow Democrats and hints of appetite within some corners 97 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,360 of the party for a primary challenge. Okay, there aren't. 98 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,079 These are not hints. There are Democrats that are calling 99 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,759 for her to be primary down and the Young Democrats 100 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:48,000 of North Carolina, the official youth arm of the state party, 101 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:53,959 joined the chorus of intra party voices condemning Cunningham's remarks. 102 00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:59,639 Here is what the Young Democrats put out following her 103 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,720 vote overri Governor Stein's veto of anti immigrant legislation. It's 104 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:09,480 not it's an illegal immigration enforcement. See again, stop conflating 105 00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:16,079 illegal with legal immigration. They are different. Representative Cunningham disgraced 106 00:07:16,079 --> 00:07:19,160 her office with a hate filled speech. It wasn't actually 107 00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:22,959 hate filled. She didn't say anything hateful towards anybody. She 108 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,879 was talking about the need to assimilate into the American society. 109 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,040 When people come here, and when you come in such 110 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,439 large numbers and then you self isolate and you refuse 111 00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:38,800 to assimilate, that creates problems because cultures clash on things 112 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,000 they do not agree with each other on. And when 113 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,560 you bring in too many people that have a difference 114 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,199 in cultural norms that clashes with the home country, you're 115 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,240 going to have bigger problems. 116 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 2: That's what she was saying. 117 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,639 Speaker 1: And by the way, she's one hundred percent correct, one 118 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,759 hundred percent correct. Of note, the Taliban this week announced 119 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,680 the reinstitution of the stoning of women. Yeah, they're bringing 120 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,079 it back because they haven't had themselves a good stoning 121 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,879 in quite a while, been about thirty something years, and 122 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,839 so now they're bringing it back where they get to, 123 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120 you know, accuse a woman of adultery, bury her up 124 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,720 to her shoulders and pelt her with large rocks until 125 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,439 she is dead. Yes, that is a cultural norm I 126 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:38,080 wish to not import. That's just me, I would say 127 00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,600 on the ledger of good culture bad culture. If we're 128 00:08:41,639 --> 00:08:45,919 doing a comparison, if you stone women to death based 129 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,399 on an allegation of adultery, I think you're a worse culture. 130 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:53,240 And I think that gives the other culture in comparison 131 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,320 a lot oflyway, unless they're murdering people based on accusations 132 00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:02,639 and only one gender, by the way, like, unless that's 133 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,279 the case, like, there's that other culture gets to do 134 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,480 quite a bit in order to offset that scale. 135 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:08,919 Speaker 2: You know. 136 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: They go on to say, to say all cultures are 137 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,039 not equal is completely disqualifying and has no place in 138 00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:17,519 our party. 139 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: See what are they doing. 140 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,519 Speaker 1: They're doing the same thing that the Coffers and deb 141 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:27,039 Butler did. Just shut up, Cunningham, that's what they're saying 142 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,159 to her. They cannot argue the merits, just like teddros 143 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,159 Couldn't you know?

Visit creative video dot com. This 162 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000 is what passes for I don't even want to call 163 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200 it debate, but I guess this is what passes for 164 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,600 it in the Democrat Party, It's like they are incapable 165 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,720 of discussing the actual issue and this Carla Cunningham speech 166 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:52,399 is a perfect example of it. 167 00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 2: Right. 168 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: The Young Democrats put Yeah, the Young Democrats in North 169 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,840 Carolina put out this statement attacking her, and they say 170 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,440 immigration is an unqualified good. Well, wait a minute, what 171 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:11,440 kind of immigration? See immigration? I would agree that immigration, 172 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,679 legal immigration is good. 173 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: I know about unqualified good. 174 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,919 Speaker 1: Because if you just have you know, open borders with 175 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:20,440 legal immigration just as sort of a rubber stamp on 176 00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:22,720 millions and millions or billions of people, like I don't 177 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,399 know if that's an unqualified good. But controlled legal immigration 178 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,120 I would agree good. 179 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: I want that. 180 00:11:30,159 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: I want people who want to participate in the American 181 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,120 project to come here. I want to want them to 182 00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:40,200 bring their skills and their ambition, their entrepreneurship, their love 183 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,279 of freedom right, their willingness to be self reliant. 184 00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:44,399 Speaker 2: I want all of those people. 185 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, illegal immigration, Well you know, now, I don't know 186 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,879 who's signing the guest book on the way in. They 187 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,799 say diversity is an unqualified good, and that is flat 188 00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,720 out false. There are good things to diversity, but there 189 00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:04,320 are also bad things about diversity. There are there are challenges, 190 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,919 and you are a fool if you are blind to that. 191 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,480 When you put people together who have competing visions of 192 00:12:12,519 --> 00:12:16,639 what a society should be doing and what is good 193 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,000 or bad. They don't have the same they don't have 194 00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:23,399 similar views on civil rights. For example. No, it's not 195 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,799 necessarily a good thing. Like you guys are the fish 196 00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,759 that doesn't know it's wet. Like you've just grown up 197 00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,600 as young democrats. You've just grown up in this multi 198 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:38,000 plural society, multiplural, multicultural, pluralistic society, let's say that. But 199 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:41,639 I guess multiplural could be an amalgamation of the two terms. Anyway, 200 00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:45,879 you've just grown up in this society and you think that, oh, 201 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,840 this is normal. This is not normal. Okay, this experiment 202 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:55,480 of America is unique. This is what American exceptionalism is about. 203 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,519 It is the exception to the way societies have been 204 00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,799 ordered throughout all of human history. That's what makes us 205 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:09,960 so special. But that takes work and tolerance. Yes, but 206 00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:14,879 when you have people of diverse opinions about things in 207 00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:19,279 the society, you get friction. So it's not always an 208 00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:24,399 unqualified good. And then they go on to quote the 209 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000 statue of a liberty poem because you remember when that 210 00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,519 got adopted into the US Constitution, right, And then they 211 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:33,000 say we are better because of the immigrant communities who 212 00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:35,200 call our country, state, and cities home. 213 00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: Legal immigrant, legal immigrant. 214 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: Cunningham's constituents deserve better than a representative who rejects this ideal. 215 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,720 She doesn't, right, she doesn't. And by the way, I 216 00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:51,600 would say we are better because of the immigrant communities 217 00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:55,960 who call our country, state, and cities home. I would say, no, 218 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,360 we are better when immigrants come to America and call 219 00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:02,879 themselves Americans. That's what makes us better, not just like, oh, 220 00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,159 this is my home, and you know, I'll maybe go 221 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,360 back home to that other place, or I'll go someplace 222 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,879 else and that'll be home. They said that Cunningham's floor 223 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:18,519 speech dehumanizes her neighbors, which it did not. Here's the 224 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:25,480 thing when you create subgroups of oppressed peoples as your coalition, 225 00:14:25,879 --> 00:14:32,000 your diverse coalition, which according to them, is an unqualified good. 226 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,919 Right note the reaction. They're saying diversity is an unqualified good. 227 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,799 But when someone has a different opinion than they do, 228 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,039 they savage her and they threaten her with a primary 229 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,919 because that's what this statement is doing. You'll be held 230 00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:51,240 accountable by your community. Good luck. 231 00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:55,279 Speaker 2: They've made, They've. 232 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: Solicited and supported primary challenges in the past against Cecil Brockman. 233 00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:05,919 He won his re election in the primary very close 234 00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:10,320 Michael Ray Democrat. Also he lost his primary after being 235 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,840 targeted for crossing Governor Cooper Mecklimberg County Democrat party chair 236 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,120 Wesley Harris told WFAE that he has received calls from 237 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:21,919 Democrats across the state who want the party to help 238 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,759 put up a primary challenger to her. To Cunningham, Harris 239 00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,960 told wfa that he cannot weigh in during primaries. I 240 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,080 don't get to pick who is a Democrat and who isn't. 241 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,519 And I agree with him on that that's Roy Cooper's job. 242 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360 Any challenge has to come from their district. 243 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,399 Speaker 2: He said. 244 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,639 Speaker 1: When you create all of these little subgroups of the oppressed, 245 00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:52,480 you cannot be surprised when they get angry, much like 246 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,399 the young Democrats are now angry. You can't be surprised 247 00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:01,720 when they get angry. That's some other subgroup in the 248 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,840 coalition is getting or is perceived to be getting preferential 249 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:14,159 treatment by the group leaders. And that's what Cunningham was articulating. 250 00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:15,639 That's what she was saying. 251 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 2: She got it. 252 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: The first thing she said was I am an a 253 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:25,879 DOS is what she said, ADS. 254 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: I think it. 255 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:28,679 Speaker 1: Stands for I'd never heard this term before. She said 256 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,440 it afric or is it African descendant or American descendant 257 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:34,200 of slaves? 258 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: I think is what she said. A DOS is what 259 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,240 the acronym is. Right. 260 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: So she is a participant and member of a subgroup 261 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,080 in the Democrat coalition, one of the oppressed classes that 262 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,679 Democrats keep telling their fellow Americans that you are an 263 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,120 oppressed class. Here's how you're oppressed, and here's the oppressor, 264 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,399 White Republicans basically, right, So when you when you start 265 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:05,880 forcing that victimhood mentality into your subgroups and then aligning 266 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,319 all of these subgroups based on their perceived depression and 267 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,720 telling them gonna, we're gonna champion your causes and they're 268 00:17:13,759 --> 00:17:17,079 all gonna be equal. They're all our top priority, which, 269 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,599 of course is garbage. You cannot have one hundred top priorities. 270 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,480 One of them is going to be the top one, right, 271 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:27,559 There's only one that's the top. And so what she 272 00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:31,960 was saying is that she's tired of her priorities as 273 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,680 a member of one of the subgroups being brushed aside 274 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,559 for the priorities of another one of your subgroups. That 275 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,880 is a normal dynamic that happens in politics all the time. 276 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,079 Republicans have different subgroups as well, different you know, around 277 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,400 policy preferences and and you know things they want to say, 278 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,119 tax rates, over foreign wars, over whatever. Like, they're different 279 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,799 subgroups over there too. But this the Democrats, is based 280 00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:05,000 on identity. And when she sees prioritization being given now 281 00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:08,000 to some other subgroup, that's what she's for. That that's 282 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:12,599 what she's pushing back against. And the Democrat's. 283 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 2: Response is, shut up, Carla, we're gonna fire you. 284 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 285 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,400 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 286 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:25,680 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 287 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,079 Asheville is your connection.

Right people who 312 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,680 get arrested for something, they end up at the jail. 313 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,920 That's who we're talking about. And so they've been savaging her, 314 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,880 attacking her and making this argument without any evidence, to 315 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,200 quote a phrase that's in vogue now, without any evidence, 316 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,599 saying that her comments are dangerous and divisive to say 317 00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,599 that all cultures are not equal. 318 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,039 Speaker 2: But she is correct, they are not all equal. 319 00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: That's not to say that you go out and target 320 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,559 them or attack them or anything like that. It's just 321 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,640 recognizing that if we get to pick and choose as 322 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680 a nation state who we would like to admit into 323 00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:39,519 our nation, then we have to make some sort of 324 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,920 value judgment about the people who are coming in. And 325 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,799 if you are coming from a culture that says, you 326 00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:50,119 know what our cultural norm and I'm just going to 327 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,400 make one up here is to you know, murder every 328 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,519 one of our neighbors just because they're. 329 00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 2: Not like us. 330 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: No okay, wait that's humas, that's uh okay, never mind. 331 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,240 So like, but there you go, Like, would you allow 332 00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:06,079 Amas to come in? 333 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 2: Why not? 334 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Because it's a deaf cult, right, It's a deaf cult 335 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,079 that wants to murder every infidel. So no, I don't 336 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,519 want any of them moving into America. So Eric says 337 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,880 on the UH text line driven by Liberty Buick gmc, 338 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,839 so are they saying a culture that has public executions 339 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,200 for gay people or says women should be totally subservient 340 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,200 to men and that culture is no worse than any 341 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:38,680 other and an unqualified good that should be accepted here. 342 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,519 See Eric, that's the kind of question that they will 343 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:44,799 not answer, just like Senator teddros would not answer that question. 344 00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:48,440 They don't want to have to defend their position. And 345 00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:51,200 I don't blame them for not thinking they have to, 346 00:21:51,279 --> 00:21:54,519 because media never makes them defend these decisions. They never 347 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:58,079 ask the Democrats why or what evidence do you have 348 00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,400 that supports that claim? 349 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 2: They never ask them that. 350 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,519 Speaker 1: King Daddy texts in and says, I guess the Democrats 351 00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,279 don't feel like we should listen to all women anymore. 352 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:17,240 So across the pond, Britain's Labor government or is it 353 00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:21,559 labor Lebauer They put a you in their words. For 354 00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:25,079 some reason, the Labor government is in trouble. It's program 355 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,000 of massive Third World immigration from places like Pakistan, sorry 356 00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:37,759 Pakistan and Somalia is wildly overwhelmingly unpopular. Glenn Reynolds at 357 00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,480 The New York Post says that that's not even the 358 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:43,839 real problem. The real problem is that, despite the best 359 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,599 efforts of Prime Minister Geter Sturmer and his leftist captive media, 360 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:54,000 Britain's themselves have discovered just how unpopular it is. And 361 00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:57,680 you might think that's absurd, right if mass immigration and 362 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,680 let's be clear, this is illegal immigration. And also let's 363 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,359 be clear that despite Britain giving millions of dollars to 364 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,799 the French to try to stop to have the French 365 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:11,200 stop the people from getting on all the boats from France, 366 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:13,880 and France is aiding and abetting this invasion of Britain. 367 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,319 Like that's part of the story too. The French are 368 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:19,240 not cracking down on this. They're allowing these operations to occur. 369 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,160 And once they start, you know, going into the water, 370 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,559 then maritime law says you got to rescue these people. 371 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,480 And now they're in your country. So you may think, well, 372 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,920 how is it that not everybody knows mass illegal immigration 373 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,720 is so unpopular. Well, everybody doesn't know it, Reynolds says, 374 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,839 because the government has been policing speech about immigration. The 375 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,519 point of this is not to reduce racism or hate, 376 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:50,079 but to make it harder for people to realize just 377 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,119 how many of their fellow citizens feel the same way 378 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:59,400 they do. That's why you police the speech. This is 379 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,359 what Rush law and the audience that he had recognized, 380 00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:07,680 and it's what made him so popular, was that he 381 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,319 got on the radio and he said things that many, 382 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,319 many millions of people agreed with but thought nobody else 383 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,200 thought like they did because they weren't hearing any of 384 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:23,279 these arguments being articulated. Rush gets on the air, and 385 00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:25,799 now they hear somebody saying the same thing, like that's 386 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:29,319 what I think too. I thought I was alone. And 387 00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:30,960 then you hear people call in and they're like, I 388 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,920 think the same thing. And then you get a permission structure, 389 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,799 which is what happened with Trump in the last election. 390 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:40,759 Right when all of a sudden, Elon Musk comes out 391 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:42,480 and you get other people that are like, you know, 392 00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:45,359 oh my god, like Zuckerberg, even he's like, man, he 393 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,960 looked pretty cool and he stood up, fight fight fight, Right, 394 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,640 It granted permission for people to say, you know, this 395 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:56,839 is cool, this is okay, I can do this. Britain 396 00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,279 has been persecuting people who have been trying to call 397 00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:01,599 attention to the problem, and as the government gives light 398 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,680 sentences to child rapists there, it then imprisons moms for 399 00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:11,559 tweets on the grounds of inciting race hatred. They're literally 400 00:25:11,599 --> 00:25:15,319 going into people's homes based on Facebook posts. And the 401 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,599 whole point of this effort is to construct and maintain 402 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,440 something known as a preference falsification, which I'd never heard 403 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:27,839 of before. This is usually found in authoritarian regimes. The 404 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,200 trick is here with a preference falsification is that you 405 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:36,000 make citizens pretend that they believe what the government says 406 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,640 when they really don't, but you force them to pretend. 407 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:42,200 You make them pretend that they believe it, and fake 408 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,960 their approval of what the government does. You promote marches 409 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,680 and demonstrations and speech all in favor of the government's 410 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,440 preferred positions, and you severely punish marches, demonstrations, and speech 411 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:58,960 that oppose the government's favored positions. And if you do 412 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,599 it right, you can have like ninety percent of your 413 00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:06,319 population hating you and your policies but doing and saying 414 00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,799 absolutely nothing about them. Because everybody in that ninety percent 415 00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,400 thinks they're part of a tiny minority. Resistance seems to 416 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:20,400 be futile. And it works until it doesn't. This is 417 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,640 the problem that Britain is facing right now. It's starting 418 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,480 to not work anymore. The problem with preference falsification Reynolds 419 00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:32,400 rights is that sooner or later, some event or some 420 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,759 development can make people realize that what they have been 421 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:40,880 told to is popular is in fact very unpopular. They 422 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,000 realize they are the majority opinion. When that happens, As 423 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:49,440 Duke University scholar Timor Kiran writes in his book Private Truths, 424 00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:56,279 Public Lies, the result is a preference cascade. I've talked 425 00:26:56,279 --> 00:27:00,839 about preference cascades for years. Think of it in this term. 426 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,759 Slowly at first, then very quickly. That's a preference cascade. 427 00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:11,440 That was Russe Limbaugh's rise, a preference cascade. All of 428 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,519 a sudden, people realize I'm not the only one that's 429 00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:17,960 my preference. More people see that preference displayed, and they 430 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,799 sign on to All right, if you're listening to this show, 431 00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:22,359 you know I try to keep up with all sorts 432 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,400 of current events, and I know you do too, And 433 00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:29,279 you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, well, 434 00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:32,039 because it's how you detect media bias, which is why 435 00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:35,279 I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, 436 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,680 and it's a website, and it combines news from around 437 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,119 the world in one place so you can compare coverage 438 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,079 and verify information.

I started using ground News 441 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,400 a few months ago and more recently chose to work 442 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,480 with them as an affiliate because it lets me see 443 00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,400 clearly how stories get covered and by whom.

Right this is all from a 457 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,079 piece by Glenn Reynolds. 458 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,039 Speaker 2: Well not all. 459 00:28:57,079 --> 00:28:59,359 Speaker 1: I've been peppering in my own thoughts as I go 460 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,119 Glenn Reynolds at the New York Post. Glenn Reynolds, by 461 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,359 the way, is a professor of law at the University 462 00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:11,839 of Tennessee and he is the founder of the Instapundit blog. 463 00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:19,640 Instapundit dot com is the website. So what's happening now 464 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,160 in Britain? People are waking up to the realization that 465 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,319 the majority of them actually agree with each other and 466 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,640 not the government after a string of cases in which 467 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,720 migrants sexually assaulted local girls and women. See, this has 468 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,519 been a problem going on in Britain for probably a 469 00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:42,839 decade now, and you've reached critical mass. There are so 470 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:49,599 many victims and the government's efforts to keep a lid 471 00:29:49,839 --> 00:29:55,119 on the story has not worked. Thanks to the rise 472 00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:00,640 of new media podcasters, you know, British based YouTuber and stuff. 473 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,759 They've been covering these stories and the more they cover them, 474 00:30:05,759 --> 00:30:09,559 the more people realize that what they had heard or 475 00:30:09,599 --> 00:30:15,519 what they had experienced is actually pretty common now. So 476 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,359 now they've started taking to the streets. There have been 477 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,680 demonstrations in Britain over the last two weeks. The demonstrations 478 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,839 are too big to hide. It's not like twelve people 479 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,400 in front of some you know, gas station, much like 480 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,799 the UH the No King's. 481 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: Rally or the UH what was it? 482 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,519 Speaker 1: The Rage against the Regime protest last weekend here in 483 00:30:39,559 --> 00:30:42,480 the States. These are too big to hide. They're cropping 484 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,200 up in every corner of the nation, organized largely on 485 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,720 Facebook and other social media. After London police I saw 486 00:30:49,759 --> 00:30:52,079 this story when it happened the other day. They tried 487 00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:58,319 to ban protesting outside of one of these migrant hotels 488 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:04,079 literally hotel where the government is putting up all of 489 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,599 these migrants. They're paying for their room and board, giving 490 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:13,079 them stipends and such authorities. They first tried to ban 491 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,160 the protest, and then they walked it back with a 492 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,200 clarification that the ban applied only to specific protesters, just 493 00:31:21,279 --> 00:31:23,319 people with these names like Tommy Robinson. 494 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,559 Speaker 2: I gots it questionable. 495 00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: Groups of masked, thuggish counter protesters have been allegedly delivered 496 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:38,880 two marches in police buses. They're literally bussing people in 497 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,440 to counter protest the British protesters who are demanding a 498 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:51,880 stop to this illegal immigration that is changing the very society. 499 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:54,440 When they tried to bring one of these buses in, 500 00:31:54,559 --> 00:32:00,160 though they found themselves outnumbered and were pushed back by 501 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:04,880 the crowds, by the British crowds, shoving them back into 502 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,240 the vans. I didn't think the Brits had it in them. 503 00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:10,759 I thought anybody that would behave that way already immigrated 504 00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:17,839 to America. But sometimes, Reynolds writes, preference cascades presage major 505 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,519 political changes. Other times, as in the infamous case of 506 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:30,599 Nicholas Chichescu's Communist Romania, they produce violent revolution. The one 507 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,119 thing about preference falsification is that a lot of times 508 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,319 it keeps the It keeps not just the people in 509 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:39,440 the dark, but really even not so much, because the 510 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,759 people know what's going on around them in their daily lives, 511 00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:45,079 their real lives, and they just pretend to go along 512 00:32:45,119 --> 00:32:48,240 with this fake news from the government. Right, what's the 513 00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:52,640 joke from communist Russia? It was the old Soviet Union. 514 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,720 They would say, like, we listen to the news and 515 00:32:55,759 --> 00:32:58,079 we pretend that they're not lying to us, and they 516 00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:01,200 pretend that we don't know they're lying to us. They 517 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,599 would watch the news just to know what the government 518 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,079 wanted them to believe, not that they believed it, they 519 00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:08,839 just would watch it to know what the propaganda was. 520 00:33:09,839 --> 00:33:13,160 But not only does it try to deceive the public, 521 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,160 but it also keeps the government itself in the dark too. 522 00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:22,720 In Chichescu's case, he genuinely believed that his people loved him, 523 00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:25,759 right up until he was dragged out of his mansion 524 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,039 and shot. The British establishment would have been better served 525 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,880 to let its citizens to debate the immigration question openly 526 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,319 and fairly, but it didn't do that because it knew 527 00:33:36,319 --> 00:33:39,759 it would lose such a debate, so it foisted open 528 00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:42,119 borders on a nation that did not want that, and 529 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680 then try to silence the opposition. And now we are 530 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,440 watching as the regime's strategy collapses and the preference cascade 531 00:33:49,839 --> 00:33:52,359 is in the very fast phase. 532 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,319 Speaker 2: Right. It was slowly at first and then very quickly. 533 00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:00,599 Speaker 1: Is this going to end Keir Starmer's career, result in 534 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,640 his ouster or worse violence? I'm seeing a lot of 535 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,119 people talking about the potential for violence in Britain coming 536 00:34:08,119 --> 00:34:09,400 their way. 537 00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:10,519 Speaker 2: I don't know. 538 00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:13,559 Speaker 1: I don't make predictions, but it'd have been better off 539 00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:17,320 just having the debate, all right, that'll do it for 540 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,079 this episode.
