All right, we'll start with 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,039 a Pete tweet. It is Andy who says, hey there, Pete, 12 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,560 love the show, Thank you sir. With usaid running shadow 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,200 projects all over the globe with no government oversight, why 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,479 exactly couldn't they get the interpreters and other allies out 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:57,920 of Afghanistan and Iraq? What a great question after all 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:04,359 of the money going for these various international and NGOs, 17 00:01:04,519 --> 00:01:10,920 Like why why was that such a Charlie foxtrott. It's 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:17,879 a good question. But wait, there's more. Glenn Beck posted 19 00:01:17,879 --> 00:01:22,920 this on Twitter, founder of Blaze Media and talk show 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,439 host Glenn Beck. He says, under Biden, agencies like FEMA, USAID, 21 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,120 Health and Human Services DHS, and the State Department paid 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,920 billions of taxpayer dollars to NGOs to fund the Illegal 23 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,040 Immigration Industrial Complex or the IIIC, or as I call it, 24 00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:51,319 the I one NGO. Global Refuge that's its name. Global 25 00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:56,760 Refuge made two hundred and seven million dollars in revenue 26 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,280 in one year twenty twenty two, and virtually all of 27 00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,159 that eighty seven percent of it was taxpayer funded, US 28 00:02:05,239 --> 00:02:10,000 taxpayer funded. There's another one called Southwest Key. They got 29 00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:13,719 seven hundred and ninety million in government grants in twenty 30 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:18,599 twenty two, despite records of financial scandals and misuse of 31 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,080 federal funds. Starting in twenty twenty one, Biden approved one 32 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,319 point six billion dollars in FEMA funding to go toward 33 00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:32,439 immigrant care expenses, and this paid for, among other things, 34 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,080 booking fourteen thousand hotel rooms over the past two years 35 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,400 for illegal immigrants in New York City. Also in twenty 36 00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:44,400 twenty one, Biden moved two billion dollars from HHS to 37 00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:48,199 help pay for the illegal immigrant crisis. Of the two billion, 38 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960 eight hundred and fifty million, so just under half the 39 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,240 money that Congress had intended to rebuild the US strategic 40 00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,159 National stockpile of emergency medical supplies that were deleted or 41 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:06,719 depleted during the pandemic instead went to the illegal immigrant crisis. 42 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:15,599 Five point five billion dollars total from State Department, USAID 43 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,000 and FEMA just in the last two years have been 44 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,680 funding the NGOs that have been driving the flow of 45 00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:31,639 illegal immigration into our country. It is a scandal of 46 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:39,199 epic proportions. Yeah, USAID and the charities that they have 47 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,280 been quote unquote charities, many of whom have this facade 48 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,240 of some affiliation with a religious organization, right, or that 49 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,919 charity has been corrupted from the inside. They have been 50 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,280 actively engaged in the human trafficking industry, because that's what 51 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:07,520 that is. When you are organizing caravans of people to 52 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,039 walk across dangerous areas, hooking them up with coyotes from 53 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:22,439 the drug cartels, coyotes who then take as payment, you know, money, 54 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,920 they shake down people on that are making the journey, 55 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,600 they collect extra money from them. They murder people, They 56 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,720 rape the women, right, that's what you are helping them do. 57 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,160 And if the cartel sees some girls that they think 58 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:43,680 would be good for their sex trade, their sex slave industry, 59 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,800 they will take them too. And that's what these so 60 00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:52,199 called religious organizations have been helping. I have been saying 61 00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:54,920 this for twenty years when I first started looking at 62 00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,560 the immigration issue, and it all my interest in it 63 00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:03,720 started in when Pat McCrory was the mayor of Charlotte. 64 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,800 He organized an immigration task force. I forget what the 65 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,399 exact it may have been just a commission or something, 66 00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:13,879 and he brought together all of these different people from 67 00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:17,959 different industries. He brought law enforcement, the hospital people, the 68 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,319 school people, he brought all these different representatives into the mix, 69 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,120 and they put out a report on the impacts of 70 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:35,199 illegal immigration, not legal, illegal immigration. And when I started 71 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,839 hearing the stories back in the early two thousands about 72 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:41,560 what was going on, the thing that stood out to 73 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,600 me was this is indefensible when you hear of the 74 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,399 human wreckage that is left in its wake. Right. I mean, 75 00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:55,839 I knew about the quote unquote rape trees. I heard 76 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,480 about those things twenty years ago. It hasn't stopped. It 77 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,360 continued to this day. And if you are endorsing or 78 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:08,720 supporting or defending a system that allows that to occur, 79 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,240 you do not occupy a moral high ground. You do not, 80 00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:17,879 in fact, you have the opposite. You are the opposite. 81 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,839 You are defending a barbaric, inhumane system, and now the 82 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:31,040 borders are Tom Holman. I saw this former Fox News 83 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,480 host Megan Kelly her podcast. She just did a one 84 00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:38,480 thousandth episode celebration. I didn't realize that she started her 85 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,560 podcast like right after I did. I'm not saying she 86 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,839 did it because I did. I'm just saying it. It's 87 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,639 just fairly coincidental. But she has like a thousand episodes 88 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:49,720 now in her podcast, like an hour and a half long, 89 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:56,079 every single weekday, and started on audio only, but now 90 00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:58,079 then they did the YouTube version as well. I think 91 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,519 there are at like eight hundred something episodes there, she said. 92 00:07:00,519 --> 00:07:04,120 But she said I would not cross Tom Holman. She 93 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:06,600 had Tom Holman on a couple of weeks ago, and 94 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,759 she's like, Tom Holman is a scary guy. Like it 95 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,600 makes you wonder, like, am I illegal? I'm legal? Right, 96 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,959 I'm a legal resident. Just being in his presence, you're like, oh, hey, 97 00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:20,439 am I legal? I just want to make sure I 98 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:24,120 think I'm a legal resident. Yeah. So Tom Holman now 99 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,199 says that Trump is not going to hesitate to use 100 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,240 the US military if Mexican cartels target American troops on 101 00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:39,639 the southern border, He says, do I expect violence to escalate, Absolutely, 102 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,800 because the cartels are making record amounts of money. He says, 103 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,800 we're taking the money, or we're taking money out of 104 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,399 their pocket. Homan said the troops need to protect themselves 105 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,519 and that he would send a warning to the cartels 106 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,160 if any US soldiers are harmed. Quote, the wrath of 107 00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:58,480 President Trump's going to come down. He has the ability 108 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,439 to wipe them off the face of the earth. On 109 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,319 his first day in office, you'll recall Trump declared a 110 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:08,959 national emergency at the southern border that allowed the Department 111 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,519 of Defense to deploy armed forces to the region. I 112 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:21,480 would submit this is twenty years overdue, twenty years overdue, 113 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,680 even if illegal immigration wasn't a problem that we know. 114 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:31,759 It is right that wide open border has been traversed 115 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,159 by the cartels for decades. You cannot control an unpatrolled 116 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:45,120 border when your neighbor is basically a narco state. And 117 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,679 I don't understand the hesitancy to recognize this fact. It 118 00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:52,519 is well known. We've all seen documentaries and movies about 119 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:56,320 the drug trade and all this stuff. Mexico is always 120 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,000 part of the problem. Okay, not all Mexicans, be clear, 121 00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:06,039 but the country itself, the number of people, the number, 122 00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,639 let's just say, the number of politicians and journalists who 123 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,799 are murdered by the cartel is all the proof you 124 00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:17,480 need that Mexico is hanging on by a thread. It 125 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,240 is essentially a failed state. It is a narco state. 126 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:26,080 You cannot have an unpatrolled border along that line. So 127 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,279 now they're going to send some troops down there. Seventy 128 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,039 six percent of the fourteen thousand migrants so far who 129 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:38,919 have been arrested are criminals. Did you know that? So 130 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,120 fourteen thousand migrants that have been arrested so far, three 131 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,039 quarters of them are criminals. And the fact that this 132 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,200 wasn't done before Trump came into office is all the 133 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,840 proof you need that Biden did not need any special 134 00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:59,480 authorization or more authority to enforce border security. It was 135 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,519 a choice. All right. If you're listening to this show, 136 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,080 you know I try to keep up with all sorts 137 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,120 of current events, and I know you do too, And 138 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,039 you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, Well, 139 00:10:11,039 --> 00:10:13,759 because it's how you detect media bias, which is why 140 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:17,000 I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, 141 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,399 and it's a website, and it combines news from around 142 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,840 the world in one place so you can compare coverage 143 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,799 and verify information. You can check it out at check 144 00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:30,279 dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link 145 00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,399 in the podcast description too. I started using ground News 146 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,159 a few months ago and more recently chose to work 147 00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,200 with them as an affiliate because it lets me see 148 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,080 clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind 149 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,879 spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the 150 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,679 left and the right. See for yourself.

Your subscription 154 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,039 then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports 155 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,360 ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent. 156 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,639 So Trump declares a national emergency at the southern border, 157 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,120 allowing the DoD to deploy armed forces there. He also 158 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,000 signed an executive order to designate drug cartels and other 159 00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:26,360 criminal organizations there as foreign terrorist organizations or specifically designated 160 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:37,279 global terrorists. What does that mean, Well, drone strikes. That's 161 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:44,720 drone strikes, that's what because like Donald Trump is not 162 00:11:44,759 --> 00:11:49,159 going to send troops. I don't think to invade Mexico unless, 163 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,639 of course, they wanted to be our fifty first state. Sorry, 164 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,559 I was just thinking through how that would work. But 165 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,960 would they be fifty one or fifty two after Canada, 166 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,559 but maybe fifty three after Greenland? No, because Guam, Iu 167 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:10,759 and Puerto Rico maybe. So whatever it means drone strikes, 168 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:17,240 it means targeted assassinations, targeted operations, right black ops into 169 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:23,879 your country, Mexico to take out cartel leaders in very 170 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:31,440 you know, effective and brutal ways. So maybe they get 171 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,679 the message here, Maybe they think the juice isn't worth 172 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,399 the squeeze. Maybe they just kind of go into hiding 173 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200 for a couple of years and wait out Trump. I 174 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:44,480 don't know, we're going to see. Holman said, people need 175 00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:50,240 to understand what is asylum, right, because there's this narrative 176 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:53,480 that was created in the Biden administration purposefully and then 177 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,399 amplified by the you know, the legacy media, which is 178 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,399 basically the you know, the communications arm of the Democrat Party, 179 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:06,039 which is that no, no, no, they're allowed to be here. 180 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,720 So they're not illegal immigrants, it's different. They are asylum seekers. 181 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,159 And what Holman is saying, which he is absolutely correct, 182 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,039 and I've covered this as well, which is that asylum 183 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,440 is a specific process. And when the Biden administration created 184 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,399 that stupid app, which Trump immediately shut down, right, the 185 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,720 creation of that app was the smoking gun because you 186 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,919 could just log into an app say I'm an asylum seeker. 187 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,960 I check the box, so you say the right words. 188 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,919 And by the way, the coyotes would tell the the 189 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,320 illegal immigrants, they would tell these people, this is what 190 00:13:47,399 --> 00:13:52,240 you say. I am fleeing oppression. I fear for my life. Right, 191 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:55,080 they gave them the language to say so they could 192 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,679 claim asylum. And what he's saying is like, well, you're 193 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,679 saying you're coming from a dangerous country. So what country 194 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,759 is dangerous? Like why are you fleeing? And people need 195 00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:13,799 to understand that asylum, he says, is you're escaping fear 196 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,720 and persecution from your home government because of race, religion, 197 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,440 political affiliation, and participation in a specific social group. He said, 198 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,840 there are many fraudulent asylum claims, like I would venture 199 00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:30,600 to guess it's about ninety percent of them, because you 200 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000 just log in click the boxes and then they're like, okay, 201 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,879 you have an appearance in front of an asylum judge 202 00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:40,960 in eight years because we're so backed up because so 203 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,360 many people have downloaded the app and so many people 204 00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:50,759 are claiming asylum. So he says, there are many fraudulent 205 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:55,759 claims which have overwhelmed the system. And once again, what 206 00:14:55,879 --> 00:15:00,919 does that do. It makes it difficult for the actual 207 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:07,080 people who are legitimately seeking asylum. It makes it difficult 208 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:13,639 for them. Again, this is the human cost of what 209 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,360 these leftists have been doing through these agencies like USAID 210 00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:21,840 and the various charities that have been engaged in this 211 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:27,240 massive global human trafficking operation, which has by the way, 212 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,440 been enriching the cartels. He says, what you don't do 213 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:35,799 is claim asylum by entering the country illegally. Right, That's 214 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,639 the first red flag, and that's why they did the APP. 215 00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:40,759 That's why I say it's the smoking gun, is that 216 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,000 you're not suppose if you're seeking asylum, there is a 217 00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:46,240 process for doing that and you go to a port 218 00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,960 of entry to do so. But they don't do that. 219 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,039 They do the APP and then they cross illegally at 220 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,679 some other part to evade detection and if they can 221 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:01,759 get across without detected, they don't even do the app 222 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,600 I saw or heard rather on the top of the 223 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,720 hour newscast there that our local hospital Atrium, they sent 224 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:18,000 out some guidance to their employees saying don't break the law. 225 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120 That's essentially what it was, all right. They told their 226 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,759 employees that you are not to obstruct ice. If they 227 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:32,159 come in to do whatever it is they're trying to do, 228 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:38,279 do not obstruct ice. Charlotte Meckleberg Schools, they put out 229 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:43,840 a policy directive if you will, or just or directions. 230 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,960 Here's how the story was reported by the local NPR 231 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,200 affiliate by Julian Berger. After the Trump administration reversed a 232 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,200 policy that limited immigration enforcement in sensitive areas like schools, 233 00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,360 that was one of the things that the Democrats did. 234 00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:04,119 They're like, you can't do immigration enforcement in these sanctuary buildings. 235 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:10,880 Basically it's what they were essentially reserved as. You can't 236 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,480 go to schools or churches or like any of these 237 00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:19,240 other places, you can't go there. Charlotte Mecklenberg Schools released 238 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,119 a directive last month stating that immigration officers have a 239 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:27,119 right to enter schools with a valid warrant. If they 240 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:32,319 are looking for somebody, think of like a seventeen year 241 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:37,920 old member of Trende Arawa, right, some gang banger thug 242 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240 who came into the country illegally filled out the CPB 243 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,839 asylum app and is now in the country and he's 244 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,319 sitting next to your kid in high school. And Ice 245 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,200 knows that kid is going to be there, that criminal 246 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,920 kid is going to be there, and so they want 247 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440 to get him and ship him out. And I think 248 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,359 now they're like they're going to start moving these deportees 249 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:08,160 down to Gitmo. So it used to be you can't 250 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,440 go into the school to do it. I mean, think 251 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,640 about think about what think about what the mindset must 252 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:22,920 be for a teacher or an administrator to like block 253 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:31,359 federal law enforcement from removing a violent gangster from their classroom. 254 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,920 It's sick. It's sick because that kid, that gangster will 255 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,359 likely victimize the people that are around him, because they 256 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,720 are targets of opportunity. You do not occupy the moral 257 00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:51,039 high ground. Here's a great idea. How about making an 258 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,319 escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western 259 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,880 North Carolina.

Email is Pete at the 282 00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:14,599 Pete calendarshow dot com and on Twitter at Pete Calendar. 283 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:18,839 I have a message. It's a Pete tweet from the 284 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,720 last six months. Like, that's the user's name, the last 285 00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:26,240 six months. I'm not saying that this tweet is from 286 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:28,440 the last six months, although it is from the last 287 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,720 six months. Nevermind. This person on Twitter says Pete sanctuary 288 00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,160 structures for illegal aliens, but not for those who failed 289 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,440 to follow the science right, So you're safe if you 290 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,000 go into the school or the church. But if you 291 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,920 wanted to go to the school or the church during COVID, no, 292 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:58,799 you are arrested. Charlotte Meckleberg schools told their employees don't 293 00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:03,519 obstruct ice follow the law. The directive is the only 294 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:07,279 official guidance sent to teachers and staff since the policy 295 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,160 change at the federal level. It says that public schools 296 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,799 cannot deny education to undocumented students. Well, oh you sure 297 00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:20,759 you can't you do it if they don't have the 298 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:22,119 documents for the vaccines? 299 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: Right? 300 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: Like, don't they prevent students from taking classes if they 301 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,559 don't get their shots in kindergarten that sort of thing. Right, 302 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:31,559 Don't you have to be immunized before they let you 303 00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:33,359 into the schools? That used to be the case. I 304 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,240 don't know. Don't you have to do that now? Or 305 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,039 you have to produce what would I call it, a 306 00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:42,519 document from a doctor that says like they're not or 307 00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:46,880 like an exemption of some kind religious exemption. Right, don't 308 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,240 you have to show them like the kid's birth certificate 309 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,920 or something, or like, hey, this is my kid. I'm 310 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,039 enrolling them in school. So don't tell me that this 311 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,720 is like it is merely a lack of documentation or something. 312 00:21:57,759 --> 00:22:00,440 This is what I mean when you corrupt the language. 313 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,680 Things like this don't make sense in your news stories 314 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,920 because schools do, in fact prevent students from enrolling if 315 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:12,680 they don't have documentation. It's only citizenship that we're talking about. 316 00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:14,480 That's what you really want to get to, and that 317 00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,920 is a more precise word. But you don't want to 318 00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:21,359 use that word because you are woke, I guess, right, 319 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,680 The directive also tells school employees not to interfere if 320 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,680 immigration officials present a search or arrest warrant. Got a 321 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,079 tweet here Also another peet tweet from Moral Compass, who says, 322 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,799 I work at a school and an email was sent 323 00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:41,359 out by our administration. In the email, it was emphasized 324 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,119 three times to not have an altercation with law enforcement. 325 00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:54,720 And I kind of low key wish somebody would actually yeah. 326 00:22:54,799 --> 00:22:57,880 And then the local NPR station that did this story, 327 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,480 Julian Berger at WFAE reports with a quote from Justin Parmenter. 328 00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:06,960 Does that name ring a belle? It should? We've quoted 329 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,920 him several times over the years, many times over the years, 330 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,000 because he is the radical Marxist who is with the 331 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,680 NCAE leadership, the union, the teachers union guy. He's a 332 00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:24,680 teacher at South Academy of International Languages specializing in COMI. 333 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,960 And he says the lack of follow up community And look, 334 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,680 I say that because I follow the guy on Twitter, 335 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,160 Like I know what the guy is about. He's very 336 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,880 he's very clear about his politics on this stuff. So 337 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,079 he says the lack of follow up communication or training 338 00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:45,200 has left many educators and families uncertain. Oh my gosh, dude, really, like, 339 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,400 you're not serious right now, are you. I haven't a 340 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,960 make ups at the glasswer of it. Really you need 341 00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:57,039 training for this. They just gave it to you, dude. 342 00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,640 They just said, well, look see, here's my problem with 343 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,559 this is that I'm treating this right now as if 344 00:24:01,599 --> 00:24:03,319 it is a good faith argument. And it is not 345 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,039 a good faith argument. This is just the calm strategy, 346 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,160 which is like, we just need some follow up communication. 347 00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:10,880 I just need him to talk to me some more 348 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,599 about the policy. Just can we really go over this? 349 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,240 And what they really want is a bitch fest. That's 350 00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:17,759 what they want. They want to be able to stand 351 00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:19,519 in a room and scream and yell and maybe get 352 00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:25,960 some cameras in there for a pr op. Our responsibility 353 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,519 as educators is to provide a safe and nurturing environment 354 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,200 for students and to consider the whole child's needs, not 355 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,839 just their academic needs. Once again, I will point out 356 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,720 because some people who are in education do not understand this. 357 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:46,920 They are not your kids period. You may be their 358 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,920 teacher for eight or nine months, but that's the extent 359 00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:57,480 of your relationship with that child. It's not yours. I understand. 360 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,480 Kids come in, kids are abused, kids are neglected, your 361 00:25:01,519 --> 00:25:05,680 first reporters or mandated reporters, like I understand all of that, 362 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,839 but there is some there are some people that have 363 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,279 this idea that those are your children and they are 364 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,279 not your children. You may not like that, but that 365 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,160 is the truth. Okay, that is reality. And if that 366 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,400 kid is actually a trend a Araguah gangbanger and Ice 367 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,400 comes to get him, unless you are justin parmenter, you 368 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,720 should not get in the way of the Ice. Folks. 369 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,400 I would like to see justin do that. I feel 370 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,319 like that would actually be kind of entertaining for me. 371 00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:39,079 If there's video, Oh okay on if there's video, then 372 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,000 I would I would like to see that. Parliamentary and 373 00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:45,640 other teachers say CMS has not provided additional meetings or 374 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:51,200 training to help them understand how to support undocumented students. 375 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,599 What other training do you need? They just told you 376 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,759 do not get in the way of Ice if they 377 00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:01,319 come in here answers Ice comes into a school to 378 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:06,000 do something like this next to zero. Being in a 379 00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:09,480 position to facilitate our students and families knowing what their 380 00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:12,279 rights are could bring some peace of mind. You are 381 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,960 not an immigration attorney. Dude, this is not your responsibility. 382 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,759 They're like, well, what do I do if a kid 383 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,000 asks me? What do they you know? Ask me about 384 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:22,880 this stuff? You know what you tell the kid the 385 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960 same thing you tell the kid when they ask about 386 00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:30,200 your your sexual proclivities. It's not your place to say that. 387 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,039 If you have questions about whatever is going on about 388 00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:37,279 the immigration debate, you should probably google that.

And then the room 396 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,759 gets all quiet.

Hey? 419 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,559 Speaker 1: I'm all right. What's up? 420 00:28:17,519 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: I was listening to your show. And while I was 421 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,640 listening to your show, my controller from my office sent 422 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,240 me a text. You'll never guess who just walked in 423 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:26,680 our door? 424 00:28:27,039 --> 00:28:32,839 Speaker 1: Elon Musk Well close, hie, how many. 425 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,599 Speaker 2: So a couple of them, and they came in and 426 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,039 asked us questions about our staff and we alway produced 427 00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:43,200 the proper information about payroll and how we on board everybody, 428 00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,079 so you know, we're clean. But it was interesting, said, 429 00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:47,960 they were very polite, nice, They knocked on the door 430 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:48,599 that you should come in. 431 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: No, wait, they didn't kick it in, no, like exactly. Really. 432 00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:57,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, I'll just listen to your show, and 433 00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:59,839 it's all the time, the first time I really had 434 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,119 any thing irrelevant to that, So I figured I would 435 00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:04,799 give a call, and you know, I'm sure there's gonna 436 00:29:04,799 --> 00:29:07,319 be some quote unquote casualties along the way, but I 437 00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:09,799 think they're they're trying to do the right thing, and 438 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,240 you know, and that's just my belief. 439 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: Well, I remember growing up seeing TV shows and movies 440 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,920 where Ice would you know, go into some warehouse operation 441 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,160 or something, and you know, they would go trying and 442 00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:26,240 round up people that were in the country illegally, and 443 00:29:26,279 --> 00:29:28,400 they'd you know, everybody be trying to run out the 444 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,319 back doors and stuff. So you're saying it was not 445 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:34,240 that kind of a scene at your place today. Do 446 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:37,240 you mind if I asked, like what kind of like 447 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:40,839 what industry are you are you in? 448 00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:47,759 Speaker 2: I'm in the furniture industry, okay, all right, so like that. 449 00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: And so they just came in asking for the payroll paperwork. 450 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,799 And that's the thing, Like there are people that are 451 00:29:53,839 --> 00:29:55,920 in the country legally and they have the visas to 452 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,160 allow them to be here to work. So if you 453 00:29:58,279 --> 00:29:59,559 got the paperwork, then you're fine. 454 00:30:00,519 --> 00:30:00,839 Speaker 2: Correct. 455 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Greg, I appreciate it, buddy. Thanks. I 456 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:03,880 have a great weekend. 457 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: I have a great weekend. 458 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,599 Speaker 1: All right, Yes, sir, you too. Now, just for the record, 459 00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:13,440 I did not send Ice to Craig's workplace, Okay, just 460 00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:16,039 want that clear. I didn't do it. Now, I did 461 00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:20,839 apparently start poking around the Governor of New Jersey's house. 462 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,799 I don't know if they actually went to the house. 463 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,680 It may have because the Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, 464 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,240 and he went out there and did this virtue signal 465 00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:33,759 flex where he said that there's somebody in his circle 466 00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:40,039 of friends or something who doesn't have their their legal 467 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,759 status where they would like it to be or something. 468 00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:47,519 He used some euphemism like that while on stage at 469 00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:51,279 some sort of public event, and he's using this story. 470 00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:53,279 He's like, well, you know, I talked with my wife 471 00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:54,559 and we said, well, just you know, we'll put her 472 00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:57,039 in the apartment over the garage. And I'm like, well, 473 00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:00,640 they allow apartments of a garages and new I thought 474 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,440 they would have banned those already then. Anyway, the next thing, though, 475 00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:05,200 was like, wait a minute, you're saying you're harboring an 476 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:10,000 illegal immigrant. A source close to the governor told Newsweek 477 00:31:10,079 --> 00:31:13,759 that he does not have an undocumented immigrant living in 478 00:31:13,839 --> 00:31:17,480 his home, and he was just reiterating a conversation he 479 00:31:17,559 --> 00:31:20,839 had had with his wife about somebody in their orbit. 480 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640 The person in question, according to the governor, has legal 481 00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:30,400 status and was just feeling anxious about the Trump administration's 482 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,079 immigration agenda. Okay, so all right, Obviously Governor Murphy lied. 483 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,960 Now I don't know which one is the lie. He 484 00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:41,720 either lied about putting her in the apartment above his 485 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:46,519 garage or he lies about actually, she's here legally. She 486 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,000 was just nervous one of like, only one of those 487 00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:52,640 things can be true when you say that she's here 488 00:31:53,279 --> 00:31:57,279 illegally and your housinger or she's here or yeah, she's 489 00:31:57,319 --> 00:31:59,519 here illegally and you put her up in the in 490 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,279 the in the apartment, or she is here under legal 491 00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:06,680 status and you did not do that. You're not impeding 492 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,559 it they either way, it's a lot, all right. That'll 493 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:13,160 do it for this episode.
