Speaker 2: I'm doing great, P How are you?

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: I am doing well as well. So just before we

16
00:00:52,359 --> 00:00:55,799
brought you on here, I got a message from the

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,320
text line and now I've got somebody else confirming or

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,960
saying the same thing. And I noticed it as well.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:09,560
But the traffic in Charlotte today was really good, Like

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,120
it wasn't. It wasn't congested on my way into work

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,000
for the first time, and I don't know how long.

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,120
It was like smooth sailing all the way in. I'm

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,000
getting other people that have noticed the same thing and

24
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:25,040
the connection that we are making. I don't know if

25
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,400
it's provable, but it might have something to do with

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,400
Operation Charlotte's Web that's going on today. What do you

27
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:34,760
think it could be.

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: I had seen some reports that a lot of businesses

29
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,959
in the area had closed over the weekend, and maybe

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,959
you're remaining closed, so maybe that's also cutting things down.

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,000
But yeah, there's the customs and more controls in Charlotte's

32
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,359
Web seems to be catching things over the weekend. The

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,599
CPB had the head of the CBB there, mister Raveno.

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,159
I made a Raveno said that there were eighty one

35
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:03,879
arrests and I know the operations are still going on today.

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're at one hundred and thirty four now.

37
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:09,039
There were four more arrests this morning, that's the latest.

38
00:02:09,319 --> 00:02:12,560
There was one hundred and thirty before this morning, so

39
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:17,599
I think we're up to one thirty four now. Wow. Yeah.

40
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:19,879
And they've been compiling the list of the people that

41
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,240
they've picked up, and you know, some of the names

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,280
that they've identified in some of the press releases, and

43
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:28,840
you know, in some of their records are you know,

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,000
as one might expect, these are criminal, illegal aliens. They've

45
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,240
got rap sheets. And I've been saying this, this is

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,960
the response. This is the reaction the ramifications of the

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,560
policies that these Democrats who have been running Charlotte Mecklenberg

48
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,199
for you know, the last ten fifteen years. Now, this

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,599
is the this is the ramification. Like you said, this

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,520
is a federal issue. And you know we have our

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,719
sheriff Gary not my fault McFadden, where nothing is ever

52
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:01,960
his fault. And he said, you know, we're not going

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,759
to enforce federal immigration law. That's on them to do. Okay,

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,759
Well here they are now they're doing it right. And

55
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,960
you've got up in your neck of the woods in Raleigh,

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,400
you've got a sheriff that has a similar view. Right.

57
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,439
Didn't you guys scraped the two eighty seven g cooperation too?

58
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: I believe it one time they did. I'm not sure

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,319
if they entered into it or not. The previous sheriff

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,759
definitely ended that. But oh and he took his place.

61
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,120
Not so sure about that. I would have to actually

62
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,479
go look, I don't know, off the top of my head.

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Who was that? Gerald Baker was at the old sheriff

64
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:36,039
and so he's not there anymore. No, oh, you guys

65
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,439
got did he lose an election? Yeah? Oh nice, good

66
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:44,319
for you. Yeah, we can't our guy just he actually

67
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:48,639
gave a quote to the media two weeks ago where

68
00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:51,080
he said that he doesn't enjoy being sheriff, and then

69
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,199
he announced his reelection. That's the kind of guy we

70
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,479
got here. It's most amazing.

71
00:03:56,759 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

72
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:57,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: The guy who's here in McKenny now it's a sheriff.

74
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,560
Willie Rowe was He worked underneath Baker and apparently the

75
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:08,360
two of them heads at some point and there were

76
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,319
firings and accusations, retaliation and that sort of thing that

77
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:12,639
went on.

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Oh we've got all that too. Yeah yeah, yeah, we've

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,480
got all of that going on too. We've had like

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,399
multiple chief deputies resigned and write public letters calling our

81
00:04:20,439 --> 00:04:24,759
sheriff a narcissist, a sociopath. Oh yeah, that's like. Yeah,

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,600
he fires a lot of.

83
00:04:25,519 --> 00:04:28,879
Speaker 2: People here, well, at least in a splinging f bombs

84
00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:30,199
at federal officials.

85
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:35,519
Speaker 1: No, that's true. He's not quite Breezy Clayton level, but

86
00:04:35,639 --> 00:04:39,680
he does call he does call white employees crackers. So

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,439
he has done that on a recording. Yeah, yeah, on

88
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,120
a recording. So that's what I mean, Like people really don't.

89
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:50,560
It's like people who don't follow Mecklenburg Sheriff McFadden and

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
this stuff. Like I hear stories of other sheriffs and

91
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:56,680
it's like McFadden did that too, and it's like so

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,839
like all the worst behavior from all the state sheriffs

93
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,399
just take the worst pieces, and mc fadden has done

94
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,839
like the identical thing. Anyway, let's talk about Breezy a

95
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:08,120
little bit. This is Anderson Clayton, she's the chair. I

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,879
read her Twitter exchange. I don't know, are there any

97
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,360
updates to this? Like she just dropped the F bomb

98
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,920
on Greg Bovino told him blend you.

99
00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:23,079
Speaker 2: I didn't see any new updates. Her first post on

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,160
x was on the fifteenth, and it was saying that

101
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,560
border patrol on ICE are arresting in quote stealing our

102
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,920
community members off the streets of Charlotte and that Donald

103
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:34,879
Trump is single handedly responsible for this haint, for these

104
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,879
heinous actions. Please report any activity you see and know

105
00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:42,800
that that our party will stand them with all immigrant communities,

106
00:05:43,399 --> 00:05:47,560
to which she responded Commander Bravina responded, wrong, US Spirit

107
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,439
Control is busy arresting criminal aliens who are walking your

108
00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:53,439
streets with immunity. We arrested so many criminals that we

109
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,199
had to ex sign extra agents to the process. We

110
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,319
begin putting these dozens of criminals on social media so

111
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:02,680
that you won't be mistaken again, to which she replied,

112
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:06,079
f you, and he responded with truth could be a

113
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:06,600
hard thing.

114
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: Their partner, Yeah, Pardner, he did it. He spelled it

115
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:14,160
with a D two Pardner. So, uh yeah, so and

116
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:16,279
that's but look, that's what that's how she's going to

117
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:23,560
get the rural Trump voters to consider voting for Democrats again. Cussin, right,

118
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:27,680
cussin and saying, y'all a lot. That's I think the strategy.

119
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, somebody really ought to do accounts

120
00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:33,319
how many F bombs she's up to at this point,

121
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,000
it's almost a DA occurrence.

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: It feels like, yeah, yeah, definitely, Well it shows that

123
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,439
they're fighting, you know, and what's really at the heart

124
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120
of all of this. And I mean I played an

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,920
audio clip from our County Commission Chairman Mark Durrell where

126
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,839
they're like, on Friday, they did this press conference where

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,639
they're standing shoulder to shoulder with these activists, right, and

128
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,839
they're like, I don't know why the federal government wouldn't

129
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,879
include us in their planning and tell us what's going on, Like,

130
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,399
we don't know what's happening. They're keeping us in the dark.

131
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,199
It's like you're literally standing next to the people that

132
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,319
would then broadcast out all of those plans to the people,

133
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,800
the very people that ICE is trying to come and get.

134
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,319
So why would they tell you this stuff? It's It's

135
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,439
just at the heart of all of this.

136
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: Is have they ever told them in the past?

137
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:18,839
Speaker 1: No?

138
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: No, right, never, Right, Like now.

139
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: They gave you a heads up that they're going to

140
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,639
be in town. That's what they gave you, Right, They're

141
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,040
going to be in town, and you know that's it.

142
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,399
Speaker 2: Well, didn't the sheriff make that letter public?

143
00:07:31,439 --> 00:07:31,639
Speaker 1: Though?

144
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: I think I think your counterparts, Brett Jensen or maybe

145
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,240
it was Joe Bruno at w SCU TV, I think

146
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,759
one of the two of them have posted out that

147
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,279
mcfeddon had issued of tweets or a post to the

148
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,120
head the letter from CPB saying that they were going

149
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,040
to be doing operations. Yeah, yeah, And I think you

150
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,439
made that public. So I mean if they were told.

151
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Right, but they want to know, like, what what neighborhood

152
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,120
are you going into? What store?

153
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,879
Speaker 2: Let's get everyone that heads up because we always tell

154
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,240
people we're servant warrants.

155
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:07,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other thing is yeah, and they're like, oh,

156
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,399
they're just going to you know, this grocery store. Yeah, Well,

157
00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:15,920
criminals also go to grocery stores. I'm not sure who

158
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:19,040
needs to hear that, but you know, people who engage

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:19,920
in criminal activity.

160
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: Weird that they're showing up at home depots and grocery stores.

161
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,800
But it's really not because they've already identified these individuals.

162
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,600
They figured out what their phones are, and they've got

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,160
the warrants on the phone, so they can find them

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,759
where they are by location, right. I mean, you know,

165
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:34,879
if they're not home, they're somewhere, so let's find where

166
00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:37,200
his phone is. Right, You're gonna take your phone everywhere?

167
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: Right? Right? Exactly?

168
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 2: Is the rocket science?

169
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:46,279
Speaker 1: No, It at the core of it is an amnesty viewpoint. Right.

170
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,039
These democrats are playing dumb. They're saying this stuff and

171
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:52,639
they're all outraged about it because they believe and when

172
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,759
you read their statements, they talk about you know, residents

173
00:08:55,799 --> 00:08:59,440
in Mecklenburg County. They make no differentiation between legal and

174
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,480
illegal aliens, nothing like that. It's all just about you know,

175
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,799
people and residents and stuff. It's because at the core

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,879
of it is they want the people who are here

177
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:13,519
illegally to stay and get citizenship. That's why they object

178
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,759
to anything like this. That that makes you know, people

179
00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:18,679
afraid of enforcement.

180
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: I mean, oh yeah, that and their draining city resources.

181
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: So yes, you know, yeah, well, and also.

182
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: How much of their budget issues are tied into that.

183
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,200
That would be an interesting thing to for maybe, say

184
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,360
the state auditor to look at.

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, think about all of the schools

186
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,799
that Charlotte Mecklenberg has built right in order to educate

187
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:42,919
all of the children, and the emergency rooms. Like the

188
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,519
costs of health insurance and health care and all of yeah,

189
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,080
there are there are costs associated with any population. This

190
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,080
is no different and so yeah, they very well might

191
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,960
end up with with smaller budgets. And the activist groups

192
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,080
and the grassroots organizations and such, and the votes, you know,

193
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,360
because this always ties back to the census counts, which

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,320
dictate you know, congressional districts and electoral votes. For president.

195
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:12,080
And if you can pile a bunch of people that

196
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:15,080
get counted for the census but they can't vote, that's

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,399
fantastic for Democrats. If you pile them into blue states,

198
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,320
they can puff up their numbers, they can get more

199
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,279
congressional seats. Like, there are so many different angles on

200
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,679
this on the story, and it's like that is something

201
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080
that these enforcement actions are exposing, is the extent of

202
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,399
the problem. And I think the Democrats, you know, unable

203
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,919
to address out there.

204
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:41,399
Speaker 2: If the census hadn't included certain populations like the legal

205
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,440
aliens or non citizens, that it would have shifted to

206
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,039
something like thirteen more seats for Republicans in the House

207
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:49,600
and at least two in the Senate.

208
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I doing like that. I do recall there was

209
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,039
some analysis along those lines.

210
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

211
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 1: And then of course the problem with the census where

212
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:02,000
they undercounted six states and five of the six were

213
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:06,399
Republican states, and they overcounted six states and five of

214
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:10,639
those six were Democrat So like just coincidence.

215
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: That they that's just crazy that that happened.

216
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so hence the need to redistrict mid decade.

217
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:23,000
So anyway, AP, thanks for your time as always appreciate.

218
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 2: It absolutely, all right, take care good traffic this afternoon.

219
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm going to monitor when I when I

220
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,720
leave the studio, I'm gonna, like, I'm gonna pay attention

221
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:33,159
now to see if it's actually better. So because we

222
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,039
have a school day, so it's the kids are in school,

223
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,039

say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because

231
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,120
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've

232
00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:07,480
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app and

248
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,840
oh what do this Timoteo? He writes, it irritates me

249
00:13:02,919 --> 00:13:05,960
that the Catholic Church, my church, declares that they stand

250
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320
with illegal immigrants. I recalled back in the early two thousands,

251
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,879
when Congress was close to passing amnesty, there was a

252
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,159
visiting priest from Mexico saying Mass at Saint Anne's in

253
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,759
rock Hill. The church was packed with Latinos who wanted

254
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:23,960
to hear from one of their own. They were sorely disappointed.

255
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,879
This visiting priest began his homily by lambasting the illegal

256
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:32,960
immigrant community, denouncing all the crimes and scams that every

257
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,799
illegal immigrant in the country must engage in to survive

258
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,440
as an illegal alien. In the US. There were a

259
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,159
lot of sad faces walking out of that church that day,

260
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:43,759
and it was the last time I have heard any

261
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,240
moral clarity from the church on the subject of illegal immigration.

262
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,559
There's a story that was being highlighted by the local

263
00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:01,120
media and national media. Oh my gosh, they killed some guy.

264
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,000
That Border patrol killed somebody. They did not. Okay, there

265
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:07,759
was a guy. The one case attracted a lot of

266
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:12,960
attention revolved around a man who received medical treatment after

267
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,600
he appeared to collapse while Border Patrol agents attempted to

268
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,000
detain him on Milton Road near Weeping Willow ame Zion Church. Okay,

269
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:28,279
so that's that's all you get, That he collapsed. Well,

270
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:34,039
they took him to the hospital and while at the hospital,

271
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:39,720
apparently he attempted to escape. Numerous social media posts incorrectly

272
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:42,039
claim the man who was arrested was either shot or

273
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,519
run over. He was not, Joe Bruno reports at WSOCTV.

274
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,279
On Twitter, Assistant Secretary Deputy of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin

275
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,039
said the man is from Mexico and is in the

276
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,639
country illegally. She said he has a prior assault arrest

277
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:01,399
and he attempted to a ski pape through the ceiling

278
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:06,120
at the hospital. Quote. This criminal illegal alien from Mexico

279
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:08,679
had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital,

280
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:12,200
where he attempted to escape by climbing onto the ceiling

281
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,679
tiles from the hospital bathroom. He was unsuccessful and was

282
00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:22,279
apprehended inside the ceiling by law enforcement. A spokesperson for

283
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,679
Atrium Health declined to confirm details of the arrest, only

284
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,919
saying federal agents accompanied a patient to our emergency department

285
00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:34,080
to receive care and we provided appropriate treatment. You know,

305
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:45,840
gotten to the real story of the immigration enforcement operation

306
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,080
in Charlotte. The real star, like the real, the important,

307
00:16:52,120 --> 00:17:00,919
the most offensive part of this operation. CNN is on it.

308
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:01,840
It's the name.

309
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: I know.

310
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: It's the name Charlotte's Web.

311
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 3: HM.

312
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Two reporters worked on this story. It runs four pages.

313
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,839
In the popular children's book Charlotte's Web, the title character,

314
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,039
a spider, uses her web as an instrument of good

315
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,200
to help secure the freedom of Wilbur, a pig on

316
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:33,839
her farm. Federal immigration officials used the book's title to

317
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,000
name their latest crackdown in Charlotte, North Carolina, Operation Charlotte's Web.

318
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,000
The author of that book, eb White, He's long dead,

319
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,400
but his granddaughter drew a sharp contrast between the federal

320
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:57,319
raids and the ideals of eb White, highlighted in The

321
00:17:57,319 --> 00:18:02,160
Beloved Book in a statement that she shared with CNN

322
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,279
that Martha White is her name, Martha White, her grandfather.

323
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,480
Quote certainly didn't believe in masked men in unmarked cars

324
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:17,440
raiding people's homes and workplaces without IDs or summons. He

325
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:26,200
didn't condone fear mongering. H That's the real story here.

326
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:29,599
I don't know what we would have done without CNN

327
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,160
reaching out to I mean, think about that. Did Martha

328
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,920
White just send it over, send out this statement to CNN,

329
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:41,119
or did somebody at CNN track her down and be like, so,

330
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,960
what do you think of them using the name Charlotte's Web. Huh.

331
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,680
The move into North Carolina comes as agents have arrested

332
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,839
thousands across the nation, including dozens in Charlotte, in immigration raids,

333
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,799
and deported nearly two hundred thousand people as of late August.

334
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,359
The controversy highlights the tension between the Trump administration efforts

335
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,519
to arrest and deport immigrants it deems criminals, and the

336
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:09,839
work of civic and community groups highlighting residences' rights. So,

337
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,720
once again, what is missing any kind of a delineation

338
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:22,319
between legal and illegal aliens? Once again, now the guy

339
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,920
who's leading these operations, Bovino. Bovino. I don't know how

340
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:33,359
he pronounces it, but he put up a post on

341
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:39,720
Twitter and he quoted the book quote, wherever the wind

342
00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:46,200
takes us high low, near, far east, west, north south,

343
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:49,440
we take to the breeze, we go as we please.

344
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,480
In the book, that's when all of Okay, I'm about

345
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:56,799
to give a spoiler here. So if you're not aware

346
00:19:57,079 --> 00:20:01,400
of Charlotte's webb and how it ends here, boiler alert. Okay,

347
00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:07,200
so this is what the little baby say in the book.

348
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,720
That's when Charlotte's babies hatch and fly off, leaving Wilbur

349
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:14,920
to cry himself to sleep, only to find out the

350
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,440
next morning that three spiders stayed to keep him company.

351
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:25,759
Martha White highlighted the message of generosity and inclusion that

352
00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:30,039
permeates the Children's tail quote by helping you. Perhaps I

353
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,799
was trying to lift up my life a little. That's

354
00:20:32,799 --> 00:20:36,039
what Charlotte says in the book. Heaven knows anyone's life

355
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:39,880
can stand a little of that. CNN reached out to

356
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:48,279
the DHS for comment. Right, okay, you reached out. Could

357
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:50,920
you imagine fielding that call? You're at DHS. You're in

358
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,160
the comms shop and you're getting all sorts of media

359
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,519
requests from all over the country for all of these operations,

360
00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:04,440
and CNN calls you or emails you with this. Yeah.

361
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,640
Oh that's good. I needed to laugh. Thank you for that. Yeah.

362
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:10,440
By the way, I think you could actually make the

363
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:14,720
argument here that the name Charlotte's Web and the all

364
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:17,640
of the spiders when they when they all fly away,

365
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,680
you know, take to the wind and go wherever. Those

366
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,519
are like the immigrants, Those are like the Yeah, you

367
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:37,160
can't stop us. We're gonna go wherever we want. All

368
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:43,480
over social media calling out mister Hendrick for selling vehicles

369
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,880
to ice is a wonderful business decision, surpassed only by

370
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,680
bud light. Oh my gosh, are they really they're attacking?

371
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:57,319
They're attacking where the dealership that sold them the cars? Really?

372
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,480
These people are just unhinged, just unhinged. And then there

373
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:11,359
is this the super g Mart super g Mart in Pineville.

374
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,160
Border patrol agents with rifles chased after employees at a

375
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,160
super g Mart in Pineville Saturday went into the store

376
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,640
and dragged a teenage employee out before arresting him. That's

377
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,240
according to one of the store's owners. At least part

378
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,200
of it was caught on video. It happened at about

379
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,480
two in the afternoon, said Peter han or Han, whose

380
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:43,279
family owns the International supermarket chain. So wait a minute,

381
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:49,359
you were employing an illegal alien supermarket chain owner. Really,

382
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,160
that's quite the admission. It started when scared employees saw

383
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:58,519
border patrol agents in the parking lot and ran. He

384
00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:01,319
said about half of his employees didn't come to work

385
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:07,240
the next day on Sunday, which again, like I think

386
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:09,920
you might be in a bit of trouble, you know,

387
00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:15,359
for hiring illegal aliens. The person arrested was a teenager.

388
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,559
Hands said he was like fifteen or sixteen. It's not

389
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,400
clear where they took the boy. Agents arrived in about

390
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,119
five vehicles and used fake leaves to cover their license

391
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,440
plate numbers. Many of the plates were from Texas. The

392
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,200
most appalling thing was these guys still had the audacity

393
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:41,960
to smile and wave at the camera. That's that's the

394
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:47,680
most appalling thing. It's not you hiring illegal labor. That's

395
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,119
not appalling at all. No, all right, I'll get to

396
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,839
your messages in a moment. Here's a great idea. How

397
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,960

00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,559
that'll last a lifetime. John, Welcome to the show.

419
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,759
Speaker 3: Hello John, Hey, Hey, there's a great silver lining to

420
00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:19,640
all this chaos with the border control here and one

421
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,640
day they have managed to cut traffic down quickly. How

422
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,640
many years have we spent widening seventy seven billions of dollars,

423
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,319
the light rail billions of dollars still under construction, for

424
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,000
eighty five still under construction. None of them have had

425
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:42,839
the impact that the just two hundred agents have had.

426
00:25:43,519 --> 00:25:47,000
I say we keep these two hundred agents around year

427
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:51,440
round and say billions of dollars and solve the traffic.

428
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: And the fewer cars on the road would also mean

429
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:59,839
that the roads last longer. The deterioration would not be pollution.

430
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 3: Isn't that what they're always talking about? You know, they

431
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,200
wouldn't get rid of cars. This is a win win

432
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,559
all around, John.

433
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, sir, Thank you all right, Take care.

434
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:14,359
Emily writes in on the text line. The narrative is

435
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,319
that Ice is walking around racially profiling brown people and

436
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,000
body snatching. There is no thought to whether they have

437
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:24,279
criminal records or not. The general libs who aren't too

438
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,119
dialed in really think they're literally driving around and body

439
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,079
slamming anybody who looks hispanic. Yeah, I've seen I have

440
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,279
seen that sentiment expressed as well. Yep, seven oh four

441
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,160
Numbers says, why do we have to keep having the

442
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:43,119
argument about law abiding illegals? There is no law abiding illegals.

443
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,079
They all have broken the law. Time to go, Jennifer says.

444
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,880
The criminal illegal aliens that are being arrested have some

445
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,640
pretty serious crimes under their belt. We're talking child predators,

446
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,839
chronic drunk drivers, clearly a threat to the legal citizens

447
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:06,799
of Charlotte. The Democrats argument are disingenuous. Jim In Waxhaw says, Uh,

448
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,720
what do you or your BT colleagues, especially the news

449
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,799
guys here off the record from peers in local media

450
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,319
concerning this big, beautiful illegal immigrants roundup. Is this a

451
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:21,240
matter of local media just squeezing as much news juice

452
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,039
out of this totally legitimate federal operation for ratings and clicks,

453
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,680
or do you think media folks are actually aligned with

454
00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:32,599
the resistance movement or a little bit of both or

455
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,000
something else. No, I think it is. It is all

456
00:27:35,079 --> 00:27:40,000
of that, right, Uh, local media, I mean for a weekend,

457
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:44,160
Like they're doing this on a weekend, and staffing in

458
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:50,759
news departments is always lower, So smaller workforce on the weekends,

459
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:55,400
slower news cycle, right, not a lot happening. You're usually

460
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,680
going out covering some you know, event that's going on

461
00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:04,519
in town or something you know, or you're out at

462
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,400
chasing an apartment fire or a car accident or something,

463
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,160
or crime homicide, right, something like that. And when you

464
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,640
get protests on the way and by the way, the

465
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,119
protesters know this. These organizers know this. That's why they

466
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,920
do them. They know that. Like it's easy video, it's

467
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,319
easy to get interviews. You just stick a mic in

468
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,440
anybody's face and you have this you know, this tension,

469
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:32,000
this conflict, tension going on with law enforcement, them chasing people,

470
00:28:32,039 --> 00:28:33,759
and you never know what's going to happen, like, oh

471
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,839
my gosh, look at this, I caught this on video. Yeah,

472
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,400
so they are incentivized absolutely to go cover it, and

473
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:43,279
look they should though, I mean, is it is newsworthy.

474
00:28:43,559 --> 00:28:47,200
I wish they would try to trace some of this

475
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,039
out like I've been doing. I wish they would try

476
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:52,720
to connect some of these outcomes to the decisions that

477
00:28:52,759 --> 00:28:56,680
have been made that yielded the necessity for this operation.

478
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,759
I can dream. Come on, the local politicians sound like

479
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,000
the kids at school when they were informed of a

480
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:14,599
locker check. John in Jersey says Native Americans took slaves

481
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:22,720
after territorial wars. That's interesting. Yeah, then people say, call

482
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,720
in fake sightings to get the UH to get the

483
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,720
protesters scurrying all over town. As anyone pointed out the

484
00:29:31,759 --> 00:29:36,039
irrational fear the Democrats, news media, school board, and others

485
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:39,079
are creating by suggesting immigration enforcement is going to take

486
00:29:39,119 --> 00:29:41,240
your kids from school and grab them off the street.

487
00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:45,519
They are creating an irrational fear that only harms the community,

488
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:49,160
does not help it. Right, correct, Just like the whole

489
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,079
issue of illegal immigration in the first place. Right, they

490
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:57,559
claim to be the morally superior and ethically superior and

491
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,880
more empathetic people in the art argument, because they're like,

492
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,920
just let all of them in, right, no punishment for anybody,

493
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,359
Amnesty and all this open the borders up. Joe Biden

494
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,160
did it perfectly. And everything meanwhile incentivizing the very human

495
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,720
trafficking and that, by the way, Charlotte is like a

496
00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,880
hub now for human trafficking, among the worst in America.

00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,920
Because we're between the northeast and Texas and Florida, We're

498
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,599
a central location where they traffick people through. Could that

499
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,759
be a reason they're in town? All right, that'll do

500
00:30:29,799 --> 00:30:32,319
it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.

501
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,559
I could not do the show without your support and

502
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,319
the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast,

503
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,759
so if you'd like, please support them too and tell

504
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:41,519
them you heard it here. You can also become a

505
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:46,240
patron at my Patreon page or go to thepetecallanershow dot com. Again,

506
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,000
thank you so much for listening, and don't break anything

507
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,680
while I'm gone.
