All righty, so let's talk a little bit 11 00:00:31,719 --> 00:00:34,640 more about this constitutional crisis, shall we? 12 00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:38,439 Speaker 2: Every time? 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk a little bit more about this slogan 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,880 that the Democrats are using. They have pivoted off of 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:58,679 the democracy over to constitutional crisis. Okay, so they have pivoted, 16 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:02,920 and it is very much on brand. I feel like 17 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,120 where Democrats will throw a particular demographic or a part 18 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:16,480 of their coalition or an issue right under a bus 19 00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:21,719 metaphorically speaking, in order to argue for the cause dujure 20 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,519 the cause of the day. They need a particular narrative 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,799 for this moment right now, and so they just craft 22 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,280 a narrative. They rely on a compliant, if not complicit 23 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:41,519 media to advance that slogan that narrative, and it doesn't 24 00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:44,680 matter if that new narrative flies in the face of 25 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:47,239 what they were saying up until a second ago. 26 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. They're never asked, Hey, wait a minute. 27 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: You've been screeching about the democracy for all this time, 28 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,159 and now when you have the peoples elected representative in 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000 the form of the president to oversee the executive branch, 30 00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:11,400 now you're arguing that him trying to do the thing 31 00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:16,000 for which he was elected by the people in the democracy, 32 00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:20,000 that now he's not allowed to touch anything. I mean 33 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:24,199 you're talking about he can't update websites, he can't have 34 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,360 his secretaries and his team implement policies and initiatives that 35 00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:35,280 he wants to implement. And the people who are blocking 36 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:40,800 him from doing so are these low level judges that 37 00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:46,439 are issuing temporary restraining orders that apply to the entire country. 38 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,319 And again I mentioned this yesterday. 39 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: I believe. 40 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: The hiring, the creation and the hiring of these federal 41 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,680 district judges was to keep a lot of the stuff 42 00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:04,479 all of the plate of the US Supreme Court. They're 43 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,039 supposed to handle a lot of these matters at the 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,280 lower levels, and then if they get it wrong, you 45 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:12,120 can appeal, and then if the appeals courts gets it wrong, 46 00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:14,439 then you can appeal up to the US Supreme Court 47 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680 because they don't have the time to handle every single case. 48 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,840 So I guess we could get rid of all of 49 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,479 those federal district court love right. We could get rid 50 00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:28,199 of all the judges, get rid of all the federal 51 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:30,360 district courts, and throw it all to the US Supreme 52 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Court and see how they like working non stop every 53 00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,840 single day of the year instead of doing their you know, 54 00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:40,080 their summer sessions or fall sessions or. 55 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:40,639 Speaker 2: Whatever they are. 56 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: I mean, think about how insane it is to argue 57 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,520 that a permanent bureaucracy. 58 00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:54,479 Speaker 2: In DC. 59 00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: Is immune from any oversight by their boss. That's what 60 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:04,759 their argument is. That the boss can't direct any of 61 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,159 these agencies to do anything, even though Article two of 62 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:13,199 the Constitution lays out that exact thing for him. 63 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: He is the executive. 64 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: He doesn't get to write law, he carries it out, 65 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:24,319 and so he sets those priorities right within the law 66 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,360 that Congress has passed. And again, part of this is 67 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,279 also that Congress has abdicated a lot of its responsibility 68 00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:33,480 because they found it to be easier to win reelection 69 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,240 and raise money. If they don't actually have to pass laws, 70 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680 they'll just turn all of it over to the administrative state. 71 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,360 And by the way, this is something that the left 72 00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:49,279 has been pushing for my entire life. The left wants 73 00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:52,839 more and more power in the administrative branch, in the 74 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:56,959 executive branch, and so they have empowered the president to 75 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,639 do things. They have empowered the administrative state through the 76 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,000 chev deference, like all of that stuff, the Supreme Court ruling. 77 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:09,199 The left has been pushing in that direction my entire life. 78 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,360 And now you've got somebody in there who's saying, Okay, 79 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,839 I'm going to use these powers and I'm going to 80 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:16,920 now go a different direction. 81 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: And oh no, you can't do that. 82 00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: It's almost like they have built this fourth branch for themselves. 83 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,920 And when you look at the voting data, it's quite 84 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,839 clear that that is in fact what they did. Because 85 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:35,959 the people who work for the federal government and the 86 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,240 people who live in the DC area. 87 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,199 Speaker 2: Are overwhelmingly democrat. 88 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: They donate ninety plus percent to Democrats, and so they 89 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:48,839 are advancing, they are marching through the institution, if you will, 90 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,040 in the executive branch. And so now we have come 91 00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,240 to this place where after empowering the executive branch to 92 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,000 do all of this stuff, now we're not allowed to 93 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,079 check it, We're not allowed to rein it in, we're 94 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,120 never allowed to cut it back, we're never allowed to 95 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,000 make any changes. 96 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 2: That is not a democrase. 97 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: If there has in fact been a constitutional crisis, it's 98 00:06:12,519 --> 00:06:16,439 because the left has put us here, and these judges 99 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:23,920 are now trying to stop Trump. By the way, I 100 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000 do have in the stack of stuff. Mm hmmmm, where 101 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,480 to go about this? One of these judges, Oh, it's 102 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:32,399 in where to go? 103 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:34,439 Speaker 2: One of the judges. 104 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: Has a history that includes making anti Trump statements. 105 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,199 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's just. 106 00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: Coincidental that he would rule against Donald Trump on a 107 00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:52,519 matter like this. I'll find it during the break. There's 108 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:54,399 too much show prep. There's too much I have too 109 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,519 much stuff. Donald Trump needs to slow down. Okay, just 110 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,800 just for like a day so I can so I 111 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,759 can clear out some of the some of the stuff. 112 00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:10,600 So you've got you got the Blaze dot com and 113 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:17,800 they go over six sorry, five times that democrats ignored 114 00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,199 the courts. Because this is what you're hearing from the 115 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:24,199 left and the media. But I repeat myself that this 116 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,759 is what's going to cause the crisis, is you know, 117 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,439 Trump is being told by judges don't do some stuff, 118 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:30,920 and he's going to ignore the courts. 119 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: He better not ignore the courts. 120 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: What did Donald Trump say in the Oval office. We 121 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,920 played the SoundBite the other day with Elon Musk. He said, 122 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,519 if the courts, uh, you know, rule against this, he says, 123 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,079 of course, will will appeal. 124 00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:44,439 Speaker 2: We'll comply with the courts. 125 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,839 Speaker 1: And by the way, I was trying to think back 126 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,519 to an example of Trump ignoring the courts, whether it's 127 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,480 in his you know, all of the litigation that came 128 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,079 against him, right the charges. 129 00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:55,399 Speaker 2: And all that stuff. 130 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,319 Speaker 1: He's always complied with the courts as far as I 131 00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:01,399 can remember. If the sports rule he can't do something, 132 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:06,120 he doesn't do it. So once again, this derangement, this fear, 133 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,480 this projection that he's going to do what you're doing 134 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,480 and what you have done. Because in the five examples 135 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,759 by Candae Hathaway at the Blaze dot com, we'd ever 136 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,519 heard anything about a constitutional crisis when Joe Biden and 137 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:24,800 Barack Obama were doing some of the stuff in lower 138 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:28,120 courts and governors and stuff. Democrats do this stuff all 139 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:35,360 the time, they celebrate it. Right. The prime example is 140 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:41,480 Joe Biden and the student loan scheme. He was told 141 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:47,000 the Trump administration said it to, the Obama administration said 142 00:08:47,039 --> 00:08:54,039 it to You had constitutional lawyers, everybody was in agreement, you. 143 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: Cannot do this. 144 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden said himself that he could not do this, 145 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,879 and then he turned around and did it. And then 146 00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:01,080 the Supreme Court said you can't do it. And then 147 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,440 he said I'm going to do it anyway, and no 148 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,080 one cared. On the left, we cared, We talked about it, 149 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:10,879 constitutional crisis. You're ignoring the courts. What the hell are 150 00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:15,320 you doing? And then he went out and bragged about it, 151 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,840 bragged about it. The court told me I couldn't do 152 00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:24,919 this thing, and people on the right were outraged, nearry 153 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,879 a peep from the left. But now I'm supposed to 154 00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:35,960 believe that a president directing his administration and the agencies 155 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,240 that fall under his power constitutional power. Now I'm supposed 156 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,080 to believe that this is the crisis because you're afraid 157 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,840 that a court, a lower court that made some ruling, 158 00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:51,679 not the Supreme Court yet, but a lower district court 159 00:09:51,759 --> 00:09:54,799 made a ruling that is not based in law, that 160 00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,799 will by all accounts I've seen be overturned pretty quickly 161 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,600 on the rocket docket. They're saying it's going to go 162 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,240 very quickly up to the Supreme Court. But now I'm 163 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,440 supposed to believe this is a crisis because you're afraid 164 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600 Donald Trump is going to do exactly what Joe Biden did. 165 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,240 It's all projection with these people. It's crazy, it's insanity. 166 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,000 It is insanity. It's gaslighting to a degree I have 167 00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:23,360 never seen like doing something. You're watching them do it 168 00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:29,240 and they're like, I'm not doing this. You cannot have 169 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,559 rational discourse with people like this. I don't think all right, 170 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,440 if you're listening to this show, you know I try 171 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,200 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 172 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,320 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 173 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,559 say get your news from multiple sources.

Alrighty, So a couple of examples, this from 193 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,519 the Blaze dot com. Democratic politicians and the corporate media 194 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,279 were in lockstep this week parroting the claim that the 195 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Trump administration's actions amount to a constitutional. 196 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,039 Speaker 2: Crisis. All right, However, neither the Democrat. 197 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: Party nor its media outes expressed such concerns in the 198 00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:05,159 past when left wing politicians ignored and even in some 199 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,120 cases blatantly defied court orders. 200 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,039 Speaker 2: For example, I. 201 00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: Mentioned that Joe Biden student loan deal, but before that 202 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,600 it was Obama and DAKA. Remember he said he couldn't 203 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,720 do it, and then he did it, and nobody said 204 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,480 this was a constitutional crisis. In June of twenty twenty three, 205 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,879 the Supreme Court struck down former President Joe biden sweeping 206 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,840 federal student loan quote forgiveness plan. The court declared it 207 00:12:31,879 --> 00:12:38,200 to be unconstitutional. Two reports out of the Government Accountability 208 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,360 Office found that Biden's student loan cancelation program automatically approved 209 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,120 borrowers without proper vetting, and it failed to implement fraud 210 00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:50,600 protection safeguards as well. Despite the Supreme Court's ruling and 211 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,240 despite the GAO's findings, the Biden administration decided to move 212 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,039 forward with its pledge to cancel federal student loan debt. 213 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,679 That was mid twenty three, and in February of twenty four, 214 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,600 Biden boasted about his attempts to circumvent the Supreme Court decision. 215 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: He said, the Supreme Court bloked virgin stame h nours. 216 00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: We're going to pursue alternative paths for studentary relief for 217 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:27,519 as many borrowers as possible. So he's bragging that he's 218 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,120 not going to follow the highest court in the land. 219 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,559 Or how about the CDC. In twenty twenty, Congress passed 220 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,399 the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act, or the 221 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,440 CARES Act, which included a one hundred and twenty day 222 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,320 moratorium on eviction filings, as well as other protections for 223 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,320 tenants in certain rental properties with federal assistance or federally 224 00:13:54,360 --> 00:14:00,200 related financing. When Congress chose not to extend that moratorium 225 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,120 as it was laid out in the law, the Biden 226 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,759 administration CDC tried to step in and ordered a halt 227 00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:13,120 on evictions that broadly included all residential properties in the 228 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,000 country and imposed criminal penalties for those who violated the order. 229 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,159 This created severe hardship for landlords and. 230 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:26,519 Speaker 2: Like, oh, I don't care about it. I hate landlords. 231 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what if the landlord is like an eighty 232 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,759 year old widow with one rental property that was her 233 00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:36,960 you know, her mom's house that they have kept in 234 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,840 their family, and that's her source of income in her 235 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:44,600 old age. It's the only revenue she gets except for 236 00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:49,200 Social Security, which barely pays anything. So this is her 237 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,000 revenue stream. And I got calls from people, I got 238 00:14:53,039 --> 00:14:55,279 emails from people when all of this stuff was going on. 239 00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:59,159 They were like, this is going to bankrupt me because 240 00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:02,879 I can't stop paying taxes. I have to pay taxes 241 00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:05,519 on this property. I have no income. 242 00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:05,759 Speaker 2: Now. 243 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court considered the CDC order and ultimately allowed 244 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,919 it to stand, but only because it was going to 245 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,399 be expiring in a couple of weeks. Because remember, they 246 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,519 kept extending it thirty days, sixty days, ninety They kept 247 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,799 pushing it back and pushing it back. And why the 248 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,120 time it finally got to the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh. 249 00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:29,399 Justice Kavanaugh said, I agree with the district Court and 250 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,759 the applicants that the CDC exceeded its statutory authority, But 251 00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:38,360 he said, there's really no point in us stepping in 252 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,679 right now because it's going to be expiring in like 253 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,080 a couple of weeks. 254 00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:45,039 Speaker 2: Biden. 255 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:49,279 Speaker 1: CDC then ignored the Court's opinion, issuing another order in 256 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120 August of twenty one, attempting to extend the expired eviction 257 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,879 moratorium to residential properties in communities with substantial and high 258 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,080 levels of COVID nineteen transmission. However, that order finally was 259 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,840 blocked again by the US Supreme Court, saying that the 260 00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:10,960 CDC has exceeded now its authority, but that wasn't a crisis, 261 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:16,399 right right, here's a great idea. How about making an 262 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,720 escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western 263 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,240 North Carolina.

Also, it was different when a Bucks County 284 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:43,640 Board of Commissioners chairwoman Diane Ellis Marzaglia Masseglia, Marsiglia something anyway, 285 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,519 she's a Democrat, she boasted that she was planning to 286 00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:50,799 count illegal ballots in the Pennsylvania Senate race. 287 00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 2: Remember that one. 288 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was incumbent Bob Casey versus Dave McCormick back 289 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,960 in December or uh November rather in the last election cycle, 290 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:08,000 and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered that undated and misdated 291 00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:15,279 mail in ballots could not be counted, which seems kind 292 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:15,960 of obvious. 293 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: I know. 294 00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: It seems like this would be a bit of common 295 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,400 sense and easily applied law. Like the law says you 296 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,160 got to send your ballot in by a certain date, 297 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,640 and if there's not a date on the mail in ballot, 298 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,559 then you don't know when it was mailed in, and 299 00:18:31,599 --> 00:18:34,680 so therefore you shouldn't accept it. And so the court said, 300 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,359 you could not accept it if it's undated, misdated, whatever, 301 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,519 And so the Bucks County Board of Commissioner's chair Diane 302 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:45,319 Elis Marseglia, stated that she planned to count the ballots 303 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:49,400 despite the court's order. She said, people violate laws anytime 304 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,400 they want. So for me, if I violate this law, 305 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,440 it's because I want a court to pay attention. There's 306 00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:02,720 nothing more important than counting votes. Out ag ensues. The 307 00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:07,839 State Supreme Court then orders a second time that no, 308 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:14,440 you cannot count those ballots. It's illegal. By the way, 309 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,279 she is still on the board. She was elected in 310 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:22,440 two thousand and seven, and she remains on that board. 311 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:30,440 And then there's the sanctuary city mayors. Right Donald Trump's 312 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,279 first administration, he issues an executive order in January twenty 313 00:19:34,319 --> 00:19:41,559 seventeen that sought to prevent sanctuary jurisdictions from thwarteen federal 314 00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:45,880 immigration enforcement measures, and as part of Trump's executive action, 315 00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:50,720 he aimed to pull federal funding from jurisdictions that failed 316 00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:56,880 to comply with immigration laws. Sanctuary cities were ordered to 317 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:06,160 comply with with the law eight USC. Thirteen seventy three. 318 00:20:06,319 --> 00:20:10,680 Regardless cities like Chicago, New York City and many others 319 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:16,880 continue to shield illegal aliens from federal immigration agents. Now, 320 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,359 in case you hadn't heard Pam Bondy, our new attorney general, 321 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:32,279 she has already announced investigations, criminal investigations into the city 322 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:36,960 of Chicago. I think the mayor as well. And what 323 00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:38,640 two days ago, I want to say, she made the 324 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,079 announcement that they're going after. 325 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 2: New York City. 326 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,319 Speaker 1: Now in the state of New York, Governor Hulkel and 327 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:51,359 Letitia James, as they should, and I might recommend please 328 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,920 take a look at our own Mecklenburg County Sheriff Gary 329 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,079 not my fault McFadden, who just this week had another 330 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,160 Wizen match. 331 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 2: With Ice. 332 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: Oh, says, I don't have to call it, just says 333 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,759 I have to notify, and so we notified, and so 334 00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:11,440 we didn't call them, and so we released a violent 335 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,160 defender back out onto the streets because ICE had plenty 336 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:21,839 of time to go. I have the press release here, Yeah, 337 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,480 here it is. They sent out this statement. I'll probably 338 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,640 go in depth on this next week, but he says, 339 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,960 I want to address recent reports regarding US Immigration and 340 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,559 Customs enforcement arrests that are incorrect and misleading to our 341 00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:41,599 local media. I ured you to report fairly and accurately. 342 00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:43,559 I am not bending the rules. 343 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,319 Speaker 2: Bull. 344 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:50,039 Speaker 1: You absolutely are as you have done at every step 345 00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:56,880 since your election. You are bending the rules. I am 346 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,400 not bending the rules or preventing ICE officers from doing 347 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,680 their job. I am simply following the law. Specifically, I 348 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:06,640 adhere to North Carolina General Statute one sixty two sixty 349 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,279 two as revised in House Bill ten. Yet the media 350 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,440 continues to misrepresent my role as sheriff to the public. 351 00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:20,599 This is the case of Jose Napoleon Serrano. They say 352 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,839 they followed the law by holding him for forty eight 353 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,079 hours per a court order. Serrano was arrested by CMPD 354 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,000 January twelfth at five point thirty in the morning. Deputies 355 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,119 determined that he was a Honduras national during the intake process. 356 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,640 About half an hour later, Sheriff's office notified ICE, with 357 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,839 no response the entire day. How did you notify ICE, Sheriff? 358 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:52,240 Not my fault, how did you notify ICE? A day later, 359 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:58,640 Sheriff's office receives the ICE detainer administrative warrant. A forty 360 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,240 eight hour hold was signed and issued by a state magistrate. 361 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,200 Then forty eight hours later, the court order on mister 362 00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:11,480 Serrana was lifted, but he remained in custody at the 363 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,839 Sheriff's Office Detention Center on his initial state charges with 364 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,559 a five thousand dollars secured bond, and then another two 365 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,079 days later, on January seventeenth, Serrano's five thousand dollars bond 366 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,839 was posted. A Mecklinberg County magistrate then issued a signed 367 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,079 court order for his release from custody. 368 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,839 Speaker 2: So he was held for five days with no Ice movement. 369 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: Not true, Not true, because Ice sent you a detainer 370 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:51,000 administrative warrant, which remember McFadden had previously refused to adhere to. 371 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,759 He kept using these this weaseley language of it's got 372 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,640 to be from a court order, got to have a 373 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,200 court and he was alway and the carve out there 374 00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:07,599 was an administrative warrant. So his Gary McFadden has forced 375 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,400 the State of North Carolina to have to try to 376 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,440 write this law so tightly because of him. That's what 377 00:24:15,519 --> 00:24:19,559 this is about. And so now he has found another loophole. 378 00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:22,319 I didn't have to call them, right, is that what 379 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,680 he's that's the argument now I notified them like what 380 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:33,400 via email? And so he's like not my fault. There's 381 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,000 not my fault. ICE's fault. See, it's never Gary McFadden's fault. 382 00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:42,160 This guy. I swear this guy he's unfit for the office. 383 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,200 The fact that his own party still protects him and 384 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,079 refuses to remove this guy or investigate him in any 385 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:51,720 way is it's a stain on the local Democrat party, 386 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:54,839 I swear. All right, I hope you had a happy 387 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,519 holiday season. But tell me if something like this happened 388 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:00,480 at your house.

And then the room 392 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:15,119 gets all quiet. All eyes are on Dad, who says, oh, 393 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,240 you know, well, I've been meaning to but I just 394 00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:20,240 having gotten around to it.

So do what I did. 404 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,799 Trust the experts at Creative Video, conveniently located in Mint 405 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,680 Hill right off I four eighty five, and online at 406 00:25:56,759 --> 00:26:01,119 create avideo dot com. There was more to this press 407 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:06,039 release that Sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden sent out, 408 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,799 goes on to say, as laid out above, Mecklenburg County 409 00:26:10,799 --> 00:26:16,039 Sheriff's office received zero correspondence from ICE after ICE sent 410 00:26:16,079 --> 00:26:20,240 the detainer on January thirteenth. ICE was aware of mister 411 00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:25,279 Serrano's status between January twelfth through the seventeenth. As they 412 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:29,240 are privy to our various tracking systems, ICE is more 413 00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:32,200 than welcome to pick up the phone. We will always 414 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,359 remain transparent about a person's release. But nowhere in House 415 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,319 Bill ten does it mandate local sheriffs notify ICE of 416 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:47,480 an individual's release. So you have a guy who has 417 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:52,160 been deported multiple times in your jail, ICE says, hey, 418 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,039 hold him, and you don't think to alert ICE. Hey, 419 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,880 this guy just he's fixing to bail out. You don't 420 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,720 think that's important to let ICE know? 421 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 2: Well, they didn't tell me. I had to let them know. 422 00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:08,599 That's what he's saying. 423 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: ICE is also aware that mister Serrano had been deported 424 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,039 twice before. If they believed he posed a threat to 425 00:27:17,079 --> 00:27:20,759 public safety. I questioned why ICE didn't charge him with 426 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:29,279 federal offenses in proper entry re entry instead of putting 427 00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:32,119 the burden on local sheriffs. This is why I continue 428 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,640 to emphasize the importance of open discussions with ICE. No, no, no, 429 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,720 you're not for open discussions with ICE. This is a 430 00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:46,519 lie as well, right, stop gaslighting the public. Okay, stop 431 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,319 the gas lighting. You are not interested in open discussions. 432 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,680 If you were, you would have told them. You would 433 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,880 have said, hey, I know you guys, put a hold 434 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,160 on this guy. He's been busted twice for coming into 435 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,519 the country illegally and then getting deported then coming back in. 436 00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,720 You put a hold on him. Magistrates set a bond. 437 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,839 He's fixing a bond out, so you might want to 438 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,240 come get him soon because he's about to get bonded out. 439 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,880 But he didn't do that. The sheriff's office didn't do that. 440 00:28:24,559 --> 00:28:31,240 So no, you're not in open discussions with ICE. And 441 00:28:31,319 --> 00:28:34,720 then here's the tell. Right here, he says he he 442 00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:39,319 emphasizes the importance of open discussions with ICE because simply 443 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,400 deporting individuals is not an effective solution and does not 444 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,279 make our communities safer. You gave away the game, there, Sheriff. 445 00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,880 You gave away the game. We know you are an 446 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,559 open borders guy. You don't even want to deport people 447 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,759 who you are in the country illegally. We all understand 448 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:06,279 that you ran your campaigns on this. You made these 449 00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:09,559 promises to your Moonbat brigade base in order to win 450 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,400 the primaries. 451 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,519 Speaker 2: We all know this. 452 00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:17,599 Speaker 1: Stop gaslighting us and pretending that I'm for open discussion. 453 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,920 No you're not, because ICE is deporting people and you 454 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,559 don't like it. You don't want ICE to deport people. 455 00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:29,759 That is clear. You say it right here in your 456 00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:34,799 stupid statement. Simply deporting individuals is not an effective solution. 457 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,160 I disagree when you remove somebody. For example, if you 458 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,880 were to remove a serial killer from the community and 459 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,839 put them in prison for the rest of their life, 460 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,920 that does solve the problem of that serial killer killing 461 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,200 anybody else in the community. See how that works. By 462 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,119 the way, the border crossings, have you seen these numbers, 463 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:04,000 they're down ninety percent. Enforcement works. I am astounded that 464 00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:07,000 I need to actually say this to the chief law 465 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,640 enforcement officer of the county. 466 00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 2: This guy was a homicide detective. Why bother? 467 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:18,519 Speaker 1: Seriously, why are you trying to Why did you try 468 00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:20,880 for all those years as a homicide detective? Why did 469 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,599 you try to solve the homicides to like you could 470 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,680 just catch the person, I guess and say, now, don't 471 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,359 do that again, because it doesn't Incarcerating them wouldn't solve 472 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,079 the problem, you know, just asinine, he says. I am 473 00:30:38,119 --> 00:30:40,839 the sheriff, and my priority is serving and protecting my 474 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,279 community while always upholding the law. No, you're not actually 475 00:30:44,359 --> 00:30:48,839 protecting the community because you know who gets victimized by 476 00:30:49,039 --> 00:30:57,000 illegal alien criminals, the immigrant community. They are most preyed 477 00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:02,559 upon because of their fear of getting deported, because of 478 00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:05,960 their fear of law enforcement, which Democrats have done a 479 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,039 heck of a job, by the way, fomenting because it 480 00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:14,039 benefited them politically as it has. Sheriff Gary, not my fault, mcfath. 481 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:17,200 All right, that'll do it for this episode. 482 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,599 Speaker 2: Thank you.
