And again, thank you so much for your support. I
believe this is day five of me successfully not ramming
any federal officials vehicles in a sign of protest. Day five,
I am on here. Staceymatthews from RedState dot com joins me.
You can read her work there RedState dot com. Hello, Stacy,
how are you.
Speaker 3: I'm good, Peter, congratulate you on your restraint.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you. It's you know, one day at a time.
So as I understand it, you had a bit of
a front row seat to some of the aftermath of
the mayhem or one of these moonbats use their vehicle
to try to obstruct the operations.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, and actually both of the vehicle ramming incidents
happened on the university area in Charlotte, which is an
area I'm very familiar with. I don't live too far
away from that. And the second incident in particular involved
someone who, according to the War Patrol, allegedly attempted to
ram their vehicles as they were at a gas station
here in the University area, and when they tried to
pursue the person, they let them on a high speed
chase for about a mile.
Speaker 2: Well, hang on, that's as I said in the first
hour when I was talking about this case, Stacy, that's
how you promote the feeling of safety in the community,
as I understand it, because that's what all of the
protesters are about, is making people feel safe. And high
speed chases through heavily congested areas that's how you do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you were.
Speaker 3: Aware, absolutely, and this wasn't just a congested area piece.
It was. Assuming they took the route that I think
they did, because they ended up on a Neweleview Lane,
which is off of Rocky River Road West. It actually
would have taken them by a elementary school, which around
the time that happened was around lunchtime, which is sometimes
you see the kids out there playing on the playground
in the front of the school. So this person endangered
not just the CVP officers and people on the road,
but they also endangered neighborhoods that were nearby, and also
a school full of elementary age children. And I actually
came up on the tail end of it as I
was running errands on Monday, and those CVP officers were present,
they were blocking off the road. There were people nearby
who were filming and shouting obscenities, you know, and things
of that nature, probably not knowing what just happened that
somebody not only tried to endanger the life of the
CVP agents, but also the people everybody in the neighborhood,
school kids and that sort of thing. And it was
a similar situation with the first incident which happened also
in the University area on Sunday, involving a white van
who rammed into several law enforcement vehicles. And the stretch
of road that he was on, I believe it was
forty nine Highway forty nine. It's nothing but residential and
commercial businesses in that area, and it's right there at
UNC Charlotte. They were able to catch up with the
person about a mile up the road and they arrested them,
and they're sharp being charged with the felony. But these
people think they actually are putting the lives of illegal
immigrants over the people in their own communities. They're endangering
the people in their own communities so people can live
and work and probably commit crimes here while being illegal.
Speaker 2: When you rolled up on the scene and you saw
the aftermath, is that when you tried to ram the
vehicles yourself.
Speaker 3: I actually had similar restraints.
Speaker 1: Oh good for you, Okay, good to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know, it's it's you know, it's just
these things have been going on all over the city
that the operations have. You know, they've been on the
South Side, They've been in the University area. They've even
been scattered out to Hunter's Bull and Matthews And I
believe that I've heard that they're even in Raleigh. They're
a area. Yea, you know, they're not messing around, but
you know, the the wactivists are at it. And and
and what gets me, Pete is I was encouraged to
hear the caller in your previous hour state that he
had seen some mostly positive comments on TikTok towards the officers,
because what I've seen on the next door app has
been an absolute dumpster fire.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the next door app is always a
dumpster fire, so I.
Speaker 3: Mean it's like it's extra special.
Speaker 2: There was.
Speaker 3: You know, there's people on there saying things like, you know,
spare me with the if they need to do it legally,
if you're a descendant of Columbus, you don't belong here either.
Those are the kind of things that you see on
the people are saying, well, nobody's here legally, okay, whatever.
It's just I've actually had to temporarily turn off notifications six.
Speaker 2: I would recommend you just leave them off just forever.
There's no reason to ask. Yeah, just for your own
mental health. That's probably for the best. All right, let's
shift gears a little bit because we got a couple
of things. Where do you want to hit first? Do
you want to I mean, because it's all kind of
congressional related. We got HAKEM. Jeffreys, we got Jamie Raskin,
Stacey Plasked. We've got just a bunch of Democrats in disarray,
shall we say, And and it all starts, I guess
with the uh with the Epstein emails and such.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, you know, I almost honestly think that Trump
has been talking all these months about, well, we shouldn't
focus on the Epstein file, specifically to get Democrats to
shoot themselves in the foot, which is what they've done
this week with the revelation that Delegate Stacey Plasket from
the Virgin Islands actually was revealed in some of the
text messages or the email messages I should say, as
texting Jeffrey Epstein during at twenty nineteen congressional hearing, and
he was actually coaching her on questions to ask a witness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is that wrong? I mean, maybe she didn't
know who Epstein was.
Speaker 3: Sure, Well, now the excuses that they've used she and
Jamie Raskin and some others in Congress. Oh, well, he
was just a constituent. It was in twenty nineteen. This
was eleven years after he was convicted on sex offenses
involving minors. Actually, he was very well known, So you
can't tell me that she didn't know. So we was
at the time they were being he was being.
Speaker 2: Texted, and she's the delegate from the Virgin Islands, and
that's important because that's where his pedophile island was located.
So like he was connected to her and Raskin's defense,
I actually have the clip. Here's Jamie Raskin defending Plasket,
who I had no idea that there was even this
delegate there, but here's Raskin.
Speaker 4: Well, they want to give them an other headline, which
is that they've arraigned a Democratic member for taking a
phone call from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein in the middle
of a hearing. And of course I don't think there's
any rule here against taking phone calls in a hearing.
Speaker 3: Apparently there's no rule against members of Congress acting stupidly
on the House for either.
Speaker 1: No, there's definitely not a role on that.
Speaker 3: Fifty shades of stupid comment there. I mean, hey, Jamie
Raskin has been one of the lead bad faith actors
in all of this, demanding that the file get released,
talking about what a sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein was and
he was, and now all of a sudden, a member
of Congress on the Democrat side texting with him. It
is basically colluding with him during a congressional hearing eleven
years after he was convicted of sex offenses. We just
now need to boil it down to he was just
a constituent.
Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Now have you heard her response to.
Speaker 3: This, She said the same thing, that he was a constituent.
Speaker 2: Let me play you this clip. There's like forty seconds here.
This is her on CNN. This is Plasket on CNN.
Speaker 5: I believe that Jeffrey Epstein had information, and I was
going to get information to get it the truth. Having
a friendship with him is not something that I would
deem to have, and so I'm just looking forward.
Speaker 1: I'm moving forward, moving forward.
Speaker 5: And I think that that's what we as American people
should do, is move forward. Individuals are not involved in
illegal activity, extending his criminal enterprise or his financial enterprise
or all of those things. I think that we need
to look at what people are doing moving forward.
Speaker 3: Wait, let me just better understand that. What is that point?
Speaker 2: Because at the time, he wasn't a sex offender and
it had been detailed all the sexual there are a
lot of people who have done a lot of crimes.
There you go, But you know, just a lot of
people have done a lot of crimes. You know, paid
his debt to society and stuff, right right.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I don't even know if it was
mentioned in that scene in interview. But Hakeendre Jeffries, who
was the minority leader in the House, was put on
the hot sea last night by GOP Oversight Committee Chair
James Comer, who revealed that in the latest trench of
emails that a group that was affiliated with Jeffries hint
during his first year in Congress, actually solicited Jeffrey Epstein
to appear for a campaign appearance in Sunraiser. I have
that audio tail private, possibly even have a private meeting
with Jeffries, you know. And so it's like, you know,
this is one of these things to be careful what
you wish for. You know. They demanded that these things
get you know, put out there. But now that they're
out there, like Plaska said, it's time to move.
Speaker 1: On exactly, let's just move forward. Oh, this is a
distraction now.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's like it is comical in the way
this is now like reaching, this thing is reaching out
into all these different people. I noticed also Steve Bannon
has been implicated in playing some sort of a similar
role as that guy Michael Wolfe. Because remember the Democrats,
what was it last week they tried to well, they
leaked out these three emails that you know somehow. Another
was like, oh, Jeffrey Epstein hated Donald Trump, Like okay,
Like I don't know if that's the win you think
that is. And then the other one is like it
implicates Michael Wolfe as like giving him advice on how
to manage the pr of the pedophilia charges and stuff.
And now you've got Steve Bannon trying to do the
same thing, like very recently with this guy, like a
year before he committed suicide or died or was murdered
or whatever.
Speaker 3: Right, well, you know, and the thing is thee his
Democrats don't want to hear this. All of this actually
makes Trump look like that really the only good one
in the whole picture. He's the one that had it
stain thrown out of mar Alocco all those years ago
for poaching workers for what ended up being you know,
his sexual deviation stuff. So he's the only one that
really looks good in all of this. You know, he's
the one. He's the one that kind of stood against
you for He's he's rumored to be the whistleblower informant
and I believe the Florida case. He's the one that
in my opinion, you know more or less comes out
smelling like a rose and all this more so than
anybody else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if that rumor turns out to be true, that
he was the one, he was a source for the
investigators that finally went after Epstein like this could not
this could not be worse for Democrats. That turns out
to be true. Hey, Stacy, I always appreciate your time.
Keep up the great work. You can read her work
at RedState dot com. She writes under the numb depume
of sister told you Stacy, thanks so much.
Speaker 3: Pete, thank you, and don't ram any cars.
Speaker 2: You two all right, you two, all right, Thanks day,
say appreciate you 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.

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it
also supports ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent. This from TP today. I passed a protest
at the corner of Kilbourne Drive and Central Avenue. That's
my old stomping ground in front of a business last night.
The business owner had to tow a car that was
parked at as establishment because they were not patrons, they
were protesters, and then the protesters wanted the business owner
to pay for the toe. Here's one from Manuela. I
love listening to your program. I came legally to America
in nineteen ninety nine. I followed the rules and renewed
my green card right before it expired for about two years.
Now I'm a US citizen. Congratulations, Manuela, thank you. Welcome.
America is home and I'm happy and proud to be here.
Regarding the border patrol being in Charlotte this week, I
don't understand all the fuss. Illegal immigrants knew for a
very long time to file papers. The Trump administration made
no secret out of all of this. If I get
pulled over, I cooperate. I show proof of legal ID.
People who have been procrastinating for years to file now
have no right to complain. And if you are here
and you have a long history of crime, I want
you to go back to your home country or prison
so America can be safe again. Thank you, Manuela, I
appreciate that. Yeah, the issue of assimilation, let me see,
I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Get to, uh do did you? Did you? Did?
Speaker 3: She?
Speaker 2: Oh Seth says did did Stacy Matthews just coin the
term wacktivist?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've seen her use it in her posts at Red State,
so yeah, she's been using it for a while.
Speaker 1: The term wacktivists.
Speaker 2: Ian wants to know, did I did I get the
term moon back from the Great Neil boords I believe
I did. Ian says, I've totally co opted it. Yeah,
it's a great it's a great urn, a great term.
And Joe Joseph from Ashville, it's going to come out
that Trump is the informant and force and forced Epstein
going to prison. Mega blowout backfire is headed straight at
the Democrats on this. Well, I mean, so far the
signs are not looking good for Democrats on this. Here
is James Comer, who he's the House Oversight Committee. He
went to the floor of the House and he revealed
one of the emails that they had gotten from the
Epstein estate was an email from a Democrat consulting firm
sent to Jeffrey Epstein where it was trying to induce
him to come to a fundraiser for Keem Jeffries AK
and they called him this in the email.
Speaker 1: Brooklyn's Barack. That's what they called him in the fundraising email.
Speaker 6: Another email shows Democrat fundraisers invited Epstein to an event
or to meet privately with Hakeem Jeffries as part of
their twenty thirteen effort to win a majority. So Hakeem
Jeffries campaign solicited money from Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we
found in the last document batch. The files underscore why
former President Trump must appear for his deposition. We've subpoened him.
Speaker 1: To date, the Democrats have done.
Speaker 6: Nothing to help us secure his appearance. I support full transparency.
The Oversight Committee will continue to work to get the
truth to the American people and to get justice for
the victims. That's our goal of this investigation.
Speaker 2: With that yell back, so he said former President Trump,
but I think he meant either Obama or Clinton, because
the Clintons have refused. They're not coming in for the depositions,
and Democrats aren't helping them, right. Democrats are so interested
in transparency that they're not helping move along this investigation
on anything. They're just like, release the files, release the files,
and like, okay, well here are some files, like ooh ah, well,
I didn't think you were going to release all of them,
like with my name.
Speaker 5: You know.

text line, Dana the Troll says, if it was so
many Democrats in the Epstein emails, why would so many
Republicans not vote to release it? Trump included, Okay, well
they did release all of the emails. They pushed the
thing through the House. It got unanimous consent in the Senate. Everybody,
everybody but one, voted in the house for it. So
now like there are a couple different explanation that Dana
will not entertain because Dana has.
Speaker 1: Her bias already calcified.
Speaker 2: And so this, you know, I don't know, and I
acknowledge the things that I don't know. I can take
a guess, I can make some theories whatever, but that
doesn't mean I know. I don't know why Trump flipped.
Could be that he was, like I've seen. One explanation
is that politically he didn't want to focus on the
Epstein stuff because he's doing all this other stuff that
he wants credit for. He wants all the focus on
the stuff that he that he's been doing. That's so,
you know, wonderful, and look at all the good we're doing,
and you guys are getting you know, distracted with this
thing or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's possible, right, It's possible that he doesn't want this
stuff that's in there from his already known previous relationship
with Jeffrey Epstein. He didn't want more of that to
dominate the news cycle because it's been thirty years, right
and by his count, you know, I kicked Jeffrey Epstein
out of the mar a lago. Maybe he was the
source for the FBI didn't want that out. One of
the other things is if Epstein was acting as a
cutout as a bagman for governments, including hours, if he
was running honeypot traps in order to blackmail, or if
he was just handing money off to get off book
black ops done for governments without angering allies and stuff, right,
he could have been fulfilling that role as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know how he made all of his money.
Speaker 2: I don't know why the guy from Victoria's Secret right,
one of the the fashion mogul guys, was giving him,
you know, millions and millions of dollars to manage his accounts.
I don't know those I don't have the answers to
that stuff. I don't know about the plea deal that
he got. I would like to know all of that.
I have said we should release all of the files
as well. I was critical of Trump when he's like,
move on, move on. No, you ran on this, your
base wants this, your voters want this. Democrats are the
Johnny come Lately to this party. Democrats didn't want any
of this stuff. They didn't care about the Epstein stuff.
I've been talking about the Epstein stuff since twenty eighteen
when all of this stuff broke and with the flights
down to Epstein Island, Little Saint James right, and he
got the plea agreement, and he went like and he
had these previous convictions.
Speaker 1: I covered it at the time.
Speaker 2: And the other another potential explanation is that there are
powerful people from here and from other governments and whatever,
and they may be in the files.
Speaker 1: Maybe they didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 2: Maybe they were friends, like look what's happening with Larry
Summers right, Like it's going to destroy some people. It
could destroy some people. And maybe they didn't do anything wrong.
They're just going to get associated with it. All of
these things are possible. I don't know. We shall see.
But Dana says, why would some many Republicans not vote
to release it? Damn that kool aid must be some
must be strong. I'll clean that up for you. Trump
had backdoor meetings to get a congresswoman to change her vote.
That was Bobert, Congresswoman Bobert. Guess he's not the only
one who deflects.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, he tried to get her to not go along
with this, and when that failed and he did the
meeting in the situation room, which would indicate to me
that there may be some stuff in there that's like classified.
You're doing it in the situation room, so maybe there's
some classified stuff that's in there that's going to jeopardize
relationships or it's going you know, or it's like, hey,
we you know this ally of ours, didn't you want
us to do something, but we wanted to do it,
So we funded some off book black op to do
the thing that we publicly said we didn't do. And
you would use a guy like Epstein to funnel the
money to the group to get the black op done,
that's possible too. I don't know. I don't know. There
are all sorts of explanations surrounding this stuff, but the
very fact that Democrats are now getting caught up in
it two days after they got what they wanted is
kind of hilarious. Right, you guys have been pushing and
pushing and pushing for it, and so far, what do
we have. We've got a Democrat representative from virgin Islands
who was texting with Epstein during the testimony of Michael Cohen.
She was trying to get Trump and so she's texting
with Epstein during the hearing, and he's feeding her questions.
Steve Bannon I mentioned Steve Bannon apparently was offering like
pr strategy for Epstein. This was in like twenty eighteen.
Michael Wolf, Larry Summers. Excuse me, Larry Summers. He's in
here too, Bill Gates. Right now, there isn't anything that
I have seen so far that implicates anybody in actual
criminal activity. See, but people are going to associate anybody
that shows up in the emails as part of this
illegal activity. I'm not doing that because I try to
rely on the evidence. 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 Ashville 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
spot for you where you can reconnect with your loved
ones and the things that truly matter within the breath.
Taking fourteen thousand acres of the Pisga National Forest, their
Cabins offer a serene escape in the heart of the
Blue Ridge Mountains, centrally located between Ashville and the entrance
of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. It's the perfect
balance of seclusion and proximity to all the local attractions
with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs, Wi Fi grills,
outdoor tables and your own private covered porch. Choose from
thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas and a great lodge
with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of Ashville has the
ideal spot for you for any occasion, and they have
pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two eight three
six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there
is to offer at Cabins Offashville dot com and make
memories that'll last a lifetime. So Dana has written again
on the text line, if those who are in the
emails didn't do anything, why worry about it. That's the
same thing you're saying about illegals. If you did nothing
wrong and you're legitimate, it should be okay. Well, I
gave actually a whole list of potential problems. It's not
just the emails that came from this fundraising, this Democrat
fundraiser trying to line up a meeting with Hakim Jeffries.
Do I think Hakim Jeffries knew about the outreach to Epstein?
Speaker 1: I do not. I do not At this point.
Speaker 2: There's no evidence to suggest that he knew that it's
some other fundraising firm and they probably blasted out to
all donors. And Epstein's on the Democrat donor list because
he's donated lots of money to Democrats.
Speaker 1: Right where he did. He's dead now, so anyway, But
there's the whole foreign policy stuff.
Speaker 2: If Epstein had his had a role in any of
the foreign policy stuff doing off book things with covert
agencies and operators like that could cause international crisis. So
that stuff might be in the emails too.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.
Speaker 2: That's that is a potential because Epstein had all these
international connections and had a lot of money and moved
a lot of money, and that's suspicious anyway. Then there's
this suggestion from Jeff I think Trump wanted all of
this to come out next year ahead of the midterms.
That's possible. That's one theory. And this is seven oh
four number oh This is dan Trump pulled a fast
one and made the Democrats force the disclosure of this stuff,
so Trump can't be accused of using the files to
damage his political opponents. That's your seven dimensional chess argument
that Trump is employing. That's possible as well. I don't know, however,
here's how you could use some of this stuff from
the Donald Trump's White House put out a statement. Where
is democrats transparency on Epstein? Why aren't Democrats talking about
the fact that Delegate Stacy Plaskett solicited and was given
thirty thousand dollars from Epstein for the d Triple C
after he was already a convicted sex offender, Or that
she herself accepted maxed out donations from Epstein for her
own campaign, or the fact that the wife of the
former Democrat governor of the US Virgin Islands told Epstein quote,
we would have a friend in Stacy if he made
said donations, or the fact that Plaskett was literally texting
Epstein during a committee hearing, or how about this? Why
aren't Democrats talking about the fact that President Bill Clinton
traveled on Epstein's aircraft twenty six times, or the fact
that one of Epstein's Victims wrote that she saw Clinton
on Epstein's island with two young women, or that Clinton's
visit to the island was corroborated by one of his
former top aides. Why aren't Democrats talking about the long
relations and storied friendship that Larry Summers, ex Harvard President,
Clinton Treasury secretary and prominent Democrat had with Epstein, who
described himself as Summers's wingman. Or why aren't Democrats talking
about the fact that Democrats so called journalist Katie Couric
had dinner at Epstein's residence after he was already a
convicted sex offender who had served jail time. She writes
about this, by the way in her memoir, the guests
at this meeting, at this dinner Prince Andrew, Chelsea Handler,
and Woody Allen. Why are Democrats talking about the fact
that Reed Hoffmann, billionaire Democrat mega donor, visited Epstein's pedophile island,
attended a dinner with him, and even planned to stay
at his New York mansion. Why aren't Democrats talking about
the fact that the Democrat National Committee refused to return
thirty two thousand dollars in donations from Epstein. Why aren't
Democrats talking about the fact that Michael Wolfe, the author,
encouraged Epstein to blackmail Donald Trump, insisting that the convicted
pedophile could generate a quote debt from him. He concludes
the press release, it's time for Democrats to answer for
their long standing ties to Epstein. Then we can get
back to what matters to the American people. See, that's
the way that you would weaponize this sort of thing.
Dana right, and Democrats have been trying to do this
against Trump. That's why they put out the three selectively
edited emails and tried to lie by redacting the victim
that they were quoting Virginia Jeffree or Jeoffrey, who had
already testified under oath that Donald Trump had nothing to
do with any of this stuff, that she had no
relationship with Trump, never saw him, and all that, didn't
do anything wrong, But they tried to use an email
that had her name and attributed something to her. They
tried to smear Trump with that. That's how you would
use the emails. Hope that helps all right, that'll do
it for this episode.
