And again, thank you so much for your support. Alrighty, so,
I don't know if these stories are related. I don't
know if they're related to our local story. I just
find them to be well, I find them to be connected. Okay,
I do find I find there to be a connection.
I sense a connection between three stories. Right the first
I went over yesterday in great detail as the Mecklenburg
County Sheriff Gary not my Fault McFadden put out his
compelling and rich press release about his heroic intervention that
yielded nothing with the Ice agents that were taking into
custody and illegal alien outside the courthouse.
Speaker 2: Outrage ensued, how dare they.
Speaker 1: What pick up an illegal alien for deportation outside of
the courthouse? They're allowed to do that? That's their job.
You have no role in it, you have no say
in it. It does not matter to them, it does
not matter to me. Okay, it is spectacle to see
no doubt. And that's what apparently, what was it I
heard the Community Migrant Network or something like that. This
has now become. This is part of the counterop, which
is people who are open borders types. They are recording
video recording all of these ICE actions trying to get
license plates, making model of vehicles and stuff. And if
they can get the people, the ICE agents themselves, they
can get their faces recorded and then they share it
on social media. So now everybody who's trying to avoid
deportation to now identify vehicles if they see them hanging around.
And so apparently according to the latest story I heard
driving in today here on WBT was that somebody tipped
off McFadden because they saw a van and they I
guess hypothesized or maybe they knew from the social media
network sharing counterop that ICE was there looking for somebody
and that's how they were able to tip off McFadden.
Now ask yourself the question of why does this person
have Gary McFadden's phone number where he can be immediately
alerted that Ice is out front picking up somebody. I
will leave that for the local reporters to track down.
That's the obvious question to me is walk me through
the timeline of how this all happened and why McFadden
is getting tipped off from the anti deportation counterop. You know,
so that was the first story. I'm not going to
go into the details. I dragged the sheriff far enough yesterday,
so I feel no need to revisit that. You can
go back though and listen on the podcast at thepeatpod
dot com. So there's that story, okay, And then there's
this story. You may have heard this. A couple days ago,
we got news of a judge in New Mexico who
was housing an illegal alien at his house. And there's
been a development now the former now New Mexico Democrat
judge Jose Kano or Kano and his wife have reportedly
been taken into custody by federal officials after being accused
of harboring an illegal alien, not just any illegal alien, no, no,
a trend at at Ragua gang member in their home.
This raises all sorts of other questions for me, did
they actually have a choice. My understanding of the way
these gangs operate is they are corrupting influences on judges,
law enforcement, right, business people, and they do this through intimidation, harassment, attacks, right.
And so now I am wondering, was this a friendly judge,
Was this judge on the payroll? Was this judge coerced somehow?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: When you take in a trend a Aragua member and
put them up in your house to avoid deportation, that's
the first thing that I thought of. Now, maybe the
judge is just you know, bleeding hard lefty, and oh,
you know, I just I have a soft spot in
my heart for the you know, the guys with the
gang tattoos all over their face. Or maybe they're you know,
fight the power, tear down Western civilization leftist, and they are,
you know, they're more interested in destroying the system, and
so putting them up in the house would be a
way to help destroy the system and undermine the patriarchy.
Speaker 2: And the systemic isms and such. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 1: K Fox fourteen captured a video yesterday afternoon showing federal
officials placing Kano and his wife, Nancy, both into custody.
As US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers executed a search
and probable cause arrest warrant at their Las Cruces Hout
home house whatever. The video shows officials wearing Homeland Security
Investigations and FBI vests detaining the couple near a set
of vehicles, both placed in handcuffs. In March last month,
Kano resigned from his position after twenty three year old
Venezuelan national Christian Ortego Lopez was arrested by authorities. Ortego
Lopez had reportedly met Nancy Caino after illegally entering the
United States in twenty twenty three near Eagle Pass taxes.
Remember that place? Oh boy, that was ground zero, wasn't
it for a while? And he later accepted her offer
to stay in a casita behind their home. I do
not know if he was contracted to work on the
pool for her. I'm not sure if he was doing
some pool maintenance operations. Leading up to Canos' resignation, the
Department of Justice said federal authorities had executed search warrants
related to unlawful firearm possession and other offenses involving four
illegal migrants in the state or Tego Lopez among them.
The couple the canoes both face evidence tampering charges. Seems bad,
all right, So what is the connection, peep, I'm getting there.
Third story. This came down this morning moments ago. ABC
News reports a Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested
by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest.
This according to the FBI director Cash Patel, Judge Hannah
Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges. Quote this is from
Cash Pattel.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 1: We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from
the subject to be arrested in her courthouse. The guy's
names Eduardo Flores Ruiz. It allowed him to evade arrest.
Dugan was arrested early Friday morning today at the courthouse.
Flores Ruiz was arrested still a short time later. Thankfully,
Patel said, our agents chased down the purp on foot
and he's been in custody since. But the judge's obstruction
created increased danger to the public. I'm starting to think
that ICE and the FBI are turning their attention to
the jails and the courthouses. This is now three occasions
right here in Mecklenburg County. They picked one up outside
of the court house, and then these two different judges
now charged for obstructing or aiding and abetting in these efforts.
Because you know that people in the legal community, they
know who the which judges.
Speaker 2: Have the soft hearts.
Speaker 1: Let's just say it that way, right, There's a reason
lawyers know to go to a particular judge to ask
for a particular case. You know, they hear a particular case.
They want a judge on a case for a reason
because they know the judges. They know their temperament, they
know what their history is, they know they think that
they can kind of guess how they may rule on
some stuff. They're sympathetic. I wonder if there's some focus
being turned on the lawyers with the wardrobe changes. Here's
a great idea. How about making an escape to a
really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina? Just
a quick drive up the mountain and cabins of Asheville.
Is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, maybe
you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family
and friends together for a big old reunion. Cabins of
Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you can
reconnect with your loved ones and the things that truly matter.
Nestled within the breathtaking fourteen thousand acres of the Pisga
National Forest, their cabins offer a serene escape in the
heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Centrally located between Ashville
and the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
It's the perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to all
the local attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces, air conditioning, smart TVs,
Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables and your own private covered porch.
Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas, and a
great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of Ashville
has the ideal spot for you for any occasion, and
they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two
eight three six seven seventy sixty eight or check out
all there is to offer at Cabins Offashville dot com
and make memories that'll last a lifetime. Alrighty, so, I
have a suspicion that these that the Federal Law Enforcement
Homeland Security do O j Ice. I think they are.
I think they are looking at the nexus in the
judiciary with these uh with the illegal immigration issue. That's
just a wild speculation, wild hypothetical on my part, But
I don't like. After a certain point, it's a pattern, right,
It's no longer coincidence, it's a pattern. And so I'm
starting to wonder if this is the pattern because this
is an this is an op and going into areas
or you know, courthouses where illegal aliens have been getting
turned loose, particularly the criminal ones, because that's why they're
in the courthouses, right, And it's not too difficult to track.
If you've got judges that are making comments and making
rulings that are turning people loose and everything, it's not
difficult to like. Okay, well, like, for instance, Gary, not
my fault. McFadden, the sheriff here, he has a history.
They know his history. He does not cooperate with ICE,
and he prefers to turn people loose. And okay, we'll
hang out in front of the courthouse. Then we'll start
picking them up right outside of your doors. And then
he's going to come up with policies and procedures whatever. Yeah,
go ahead, do whatever you want, Do whatever you want.
We asked to cooperate with you. All you have to
do is call ICE when these people that are in
your jail are about to bond out. All ICE asks
is you hold on to them and give them a
heads up. And they give you the freaking phone number
to call. And he refuses to make the call, but
he's handing out a cell phone number to ICE agents
that are there. I suggested that ICE take that phone number,
share it with every single officer in the vicinity, and
just call Gary every five to ten minutes and ask, hey,
is somebody getting turned to loose today?
Speaker 2: Hey? Is somebody getting released today? Hey? Do you know
of anybody just over and over and over again that
would be.
Speaker 1: Malicious compliance? Or is the kid say extra? It's a
little extra, all right. Meanwhile, we have other lawyers with
the wardrobe changes looking to slow down Donald Trump and
thwart his presidency because that's what the resistance is all about, right,
and he means necessary, you will use the only thing,
the only tools you have, because let's face it, right,
the street protests they were in cutnet. People kind of
just ignore them now and they don't really have an effect.
I mean, yeah, media, go out and cover you know,
the crazy colored hair people in your protests, but it's
not really, it's not moving the needle, you know. So
now just use the judiciary and just block everything for
as long as possible. Slow it all down, doesn't matter
if you're starting to, you know, create precedent that might
come back and bite you, doesn't matter. See, leftists never
think in these types of terms. They think only in
terms of seizing power. That's it, that's all it is about,
because that is the philosophy. It is power dynamics. That's
what Marxism is. It's about power dynamics. Who has it
and who's trying to get it, and so their intent
is to seize the power and then they'll rule. However
they need to rule to keep their power. They're very
shortsighted on some of this stuff. So we have the judge.
Now this is out of a federal district court, Washington,
d C. US District Court Judge Colleen Coller Kotelli.
Speaker 2: Both.
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, her name Colleen is spelled with a C,
because otherwise that would make for a very awkward monogram
on the towels. Okay, Donald Trump's unilateral effort to reshape
election processes is an attempt to short circuit Congress's deliberative
process by executive order, a federal judge in Washington, d C.
Wrote yesterday afternoon in a one hundred twenty page opinion,
US District Judge Colleen Coller Kotelli blocked the Trump administration
from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, and
ordering that election officials assess the citizenship of anyone who
receives public assistance before allowing them to register, so that
is on hold. She also barred the Election Assistants Commission
from withholding federal funding from states that did not comply
with the order. So it's just putting the brakes on
this executive order. I will say it again, none of
this changes unless Congress acts. I don't understand what the
hell Congress is doing or not doing. I should say
or accurately that they are not doing these things. You
guys have a very slim majority, and you have a
very narrow window to do these things. How are you
not running bills? I don't care if you run the
bill and it fails. I'd rather you run a bill
and have it fail than to not do anything at all,
you have to keep up the pressure. You have to
keep making or submitting the legislation like otherwise, the executive
orders are only good until Trump walks out of office.
This has been a problem from the get go. I
my position on executive orders has not changed. Even when
I agree with the executive order, I don't like them
just by default.
Speaker 2: I don't like them because.
Speaker 1: We do not elect a king. And Trump is pushing
the boundaries. Absolutely, he's pushing the boundaries of what he
can do. But after what we saw with Biden and
what we saw with Obama, and what we saw with Bush,
and what we saw with Clinton, and what we saw
with Bush the Elder and Reagan, it goes back decades.
Presidents keep doing more of these executive orders. But what
it's creating is this wild swing back and forth and
back and forth. It just creates instability in the society.
Not helpful, it's not healthy. You have to codify this
with law, and the House and the Senate needs to
get off their asses and start proposing legislation, running these
bills through, getting them passed, and you will get Trump's signature.
For crying out loud, you can look you want to
do the citizenship thing. They've got a bill to do this.
Where's where is it? Well, the Democrats are going to
filibuster it. Let them filibuster. Make them do a Spartacus
aka Corey Booker, like, make them do a filibuster to
prevent the passage of a law that says you have
to be a US citizen to vote. Make them do it. Absolutely.
The campaign commercials write themselves. All right, if you're listening
to this show, you know I try to keep up
with all sorts of current events, and I know you
do too, And you've probably heard me say get your
news from multiple sources. Why Well, because it's how you
detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed
with ground News. It's an app and it's a website,
and it combines news from around the world in one
place so you can compare coverage and verify information. You
can check it out at check dot ground, dot news

media landscape more transparent. So this judge in DC says
Donald Trump's order to require proof citizenship to register to
vote exceeded the president's authority, noting that the Department of
Justice quote offered almost no defense of the president's order.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm no lawyer, I'm no.
Speaker 1: Legal scholar, constitutional expert, or anything. It does seem though,
like if you are not allowed to rewrite the law
as the president, then you can't rewrite the law as
the president. I may agree with what he's trying to do.
This is why my contempt is for Congress. The people
that are elected to write the laws are refusing to
do their freaking jobs while they have this window of opportunity,
while they have the chance to build on a mandate,
while they have the chance to take a pretty good
swipe at the leftist project that has been going on
for decades. You have the chance now to actually try
to make a difference, and they're just they're on vacation,
and they're like, they're not focused, they're not disciplined. I
don't understand what you're doing. I do understand. It's their
incentives are not to actually get laws passed. Their incentive
is to fundraise and to get re elected based on
floor speeches that nobody watches, but clips of which go
viral among you know, small dollar donors. It's the only
it's the only explanation here in my mind, because the
judge might very well be correct on this, but the
fact that we have so many cases like this, so
many judges issuing injunctive relief barring the president from doing
basically everything, well, it all gets thrown into this one basket,
not of deplorables, but one basket of examples of you know,
judges thwarting Trump. And in some of these cases, I
would say probably most of these rulings are not legit,
but there are there are some that are going to
be in the basket that.
Speaker 2: Will be legit.
Speaker 1: It's just in this I also blame Chief Justice John Roberts.
I went over this yesterday too, more worried about the
the opinions rather of his peers in DC and in
the law schools and academia. He's more interested in what
they think of him and the court and whether he's
doing a good job versus the public, versus the American people.
What do we think you're doing? Do we have confidence
in your court? And every time you try to to
make these accommodations in order to protect your peers opinion,
you lose public opinion.
Speaker 2: ABC News reports that.
Speaker 1: The judge said, if Trump wishes to not directly quote here,
but if the president wishes to reform election processes, Congress
would be the appropriate branch to do so for now.
The judge did allow the Trump administration to carry out
two parts of the executive order that are related to
enforcement of pre existing laws. One of the sections ordered
the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State
to make voting databases accessible to the Department of Government
Efficiency to identify non citizens who are registered to vote.
Speaker 2: Good. So that's a victory. Good.
Speaker 1: This kind of cross check is a I mean, this
to me is a very simple and I don't know,
foundational kind of approach to list management.
Speaker 2: And integrity.
Speaker 1: You have these different databases, cross reference them. The second section,
which she allowed to stand, directed the Department of Justice
to take action against states that do not adopt Trump's
requirement that mail in ballots be received by election day.
Good mail in ballots should be in the election offices
by the close of the polls on election day. You
don't get extra time to vote. Election day is the
last day. That's it. Everybody votes by that day. Very simple.
Speaker 2: Oh but what about the postmarks? Well then I'm sorry,
then it doesn't count, right.
Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm mailing a birthday card to my
mom and I don't drop it in the mail, you know,
seventeen weeks ahead of time, that's my fault for not
getting I'm just kidding. I don't do it seventeen weeks.
But still you drop it in the mail. If you
want to do a mail in ballot, and you have
to know that, I have to drop it in the
mail early so it gets there on time. You don't
get to drop it in the mail at seven pm
or eight pm or eleven fifty nine pm on election day.
And if it shows up without a postmark, it doesn't count.
It shouldn't count. Because there's no way to know when
the vote was actually dropped in the mail. This is
very elementary stuff. So a couple of bright spots on
that order at least, or that ruling on that order,
and then we go to California. A federal judge in
Northern California has barred the Trump administration from withholding funds
from cities and counties that follow sanctuary policies, which were
targeted by executive orders the president issued at the start
of his second term. Andrew McCarthy, writing at National Review,
outlines the ruling. He does not, in my opinion, he
does not take any position on whether this ruling is
correct or not. He is simply outline what the judge
ordered and why. So this was a six page order.
Judge William Oric Junior and Obama appointee to the District
Court in San Francisco, reasoned that in relevant part, Trump's
executive orders fourteen one fifty nine and fourteen two eighteen
violate the constitution separation of powers. The spending power in
article one, Article one made the Congress, Article two made
the presidency in article three made the judiciary.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I think I got that right, yeah, Article three, Yeah,
so they and they outlined like this is what Congress does,
this is what the president does, and this is what
the judiciary does. Okay, So Article one gives the power
of the purse, the spending power, to Congress alone. This
is why you have all spending bills have to originate
in the House. Right, And Congress has the authority to
allocate public funds, including the authority to attach conditions on
those funds.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: If Congress wants to, for example, THI federal funding to
the speed limit being fifty five miles an hour.
Speaker 2: Right, that's what Congress can do.
Speaker 1: By holding out the carit of the federal money. It
does not empower Article one does not empower the president
to attach additional conditions. Though the president does not get
to do that. That's more like a a that's a
kingly kind of a power. The president doesn't have that
because the president is not a king. I don't want
a king. Even if I like the guy, I don't
want him to be the king. The president's constitutional duty
is to take care that the laws enacted by Congress
are faithfully executed. Right as an actor, Federal spending laws
do not condition funding to states, counties, and municipalities on
their enforcement of federal immigration law. So once again, if
Congress wants to create a condition that you have to
help enforce immigration law, that you have to cooperate with ICE.
This is why North Carolina passed this law, and that
was passing another version of it, an amendment to that
law because of sheriffs like Gary. Not my fault, McFadden, right,
they refuse to cooperate with ICE. And so okay, we
are now going to make it a law that you
must That's what Congress needs to do. But Congress isn't
doing it all right, So spring is here a time

from the Urn. Pete, have you done a wellness check on?
It's not my fault McFadden yet, I can't wait for
the purp walk video of him. He deserves it as well.
Stop putting citizens and police at risk. It's yeah, okay,
and that's it. One that at Patriot Girl says, if
we're lucky, the FBI will arrest Tariff McFadden for failure
to cooperate with ICE and we'll be rid of him
once and for all.
Speaker 2: Pete Bitcoin deals here.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a spam, that's junk mail. This from Tim
who says two judges locked up for harboring illegal aliens.
Speaker 2: I call that a good start. Go get them cash.
Speaker 1: Pattel John says, since Gary not my fault, McFadden will
not call ICE before releasing an illegal alien that they want.
Why does an ICE just come pick them up as
soon as they know they're in jail. They seem to
know they're there. They just want to wait until they
are released before they pick them up. Just go get
them immediately. So I'm not sure that ICE is actually
allowed to take somebody out of state custody. I'm not
I'm not sure that you can basically short circuit the
state arrest and intake in that process. Right, You get
arrested for some criminal activity allegedly, and they send you
into the jail, you get processed, and you know, in
the past, McFadden like didn't even want to tell ICE
that they had found illegal alien. So now they have
to report they're an illegal alien in the custody of
the Sheriff's office. And so once ICE is made aware,
Ice says, all right, put it, you know, just hold
on to them. Give us forty eight hours, and that
gives ICE time to do the research and find out
is this somebody that we're going to deport Do we
send people whatever like they have to. They've got their
side of the operation. They have to line up. But
if they know that you're you're holding somebody and they're
not bonding out they can't afford the bond or something,
there's less of a timeline for ICE to act on that.
So ICE will deprioritize taking that person into custody versus,
you know, racing down there every time. Now, you could say,
maybe just set up, you know, a big van. I
don't want to call it a paddy wagon because I
believe that might have some sort of negative stereotypical implications
for the Irish.
Speaker 2: But you set up a big bus. How about that?
A bus.
Speaker 1: We can't use the sheriff's bus because he converted it
into a bookmobile. So we have a bus maybe, and
you just staff a bunch of ICE people there all
day and as soon as people bail out, you just
walk in and take them. And that's I think what
they did yesterday. That's what it sounds like they did
yesterday or day before.
Speaker 2: Was it Wednesday? I think it may have been.
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I think that's what they did.
They waited there on somebody to get released, and they
did not take custody of them inside the jail, inside
the courthouse because I suspect McFadden won't allow that transfer
to occur. Because remember, McFadden demands some sort of a
warrant from a judicial official. But the warrants are administrative
because it's immigration, it's a different track inside the government process.
McFadden knows this, That's why he always says a judicial warrant.
So now, okay, you're not going to cooperate with us,
We're going to just sit on your doorstep and we're
going to take people as they come out of the building.
Speaker 2: That's it. No fear, That's what McFadden basically is saying.
No fear.
Speaker 1: Ye, Actually it is fair. It's called a workaround. They're
working around you. And even if you were willing to
help ICE and they were to reach out to you,
why would they trust you at this point? Why would
ICE trust that you're acting in good faith on any
of this when you have been campaigning and promising and
acting in bad faith the entire time.
Speaker 2: So all right, back to.
Speaker 1: Back to this National Review piece by Andrew McCarthy about
the Sanctuary city's executive order. Basically, it was to freeze
funding federal money was to withhold federal money for any
sanctuary jurisdiction, and Judge Oric says that as enacted, federal
spending laws do not condition funding two states, counties, and
municipalities on their enforcement of federal immigration laws. Judge Oric
concluded that the two executive orders at issue were basically
the same as the executive order from President Trump's first term,
and when that executive order was issued, Judge Orick ruled
on that too, something maybe to the fact that the
lawyers know which judge to go in front of In
San Francisco. Orick ruled that was unconstitutional as well. His
ruling was then appealed. It went to the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals, and it was upheld. So even if
he had some sort of change of mind over the
last few years, which he obviously hasn't, he would have
been bound to follow the Ninth Circuit precedent from twenty eighteen.
He also found that the new executive orders violate the
Fifth Amendment because, in his view, they are vague and
violate due process with holding funds on the president's unilateral
say so, so there's no due process. Further, the judge
concluded that the executive orders violate the Tenth Amendment by
coercively commandeering state and local officials into enforcing executive immigration
policies and federal law. What have I been saying, like
the nullification as the crisis, right, a nullification crisis. That's
the prediction from the guys who did the fourth turning.
And it looks like this is where it's going to pop,
that's my guess. Moreover, to the extent that Attorney General
Pamel Labondi has undertaken in compliance with the executive orders
to freeze DOJ funds Congress has allocated to state and
local programs, the judge found it likely that this action
was arbitrary and capricious, violative of the Constitution and thus
an illegal final agency action and violation of the Administrative PROCEDURECT.
So you can't do any of it, according to this judge,
who also directed that his order quote shall apply to
the maximum extent provided for by federal law and procedural rules,
which means what it means that it's basically another nationwide injunction.
It applies to everybody, even though it's one judge with
like no class that's been certified. Now maybe somebody sues
at another level in a different district and they get
a different ruling, and then it forces the Supreme Court
to have to take this up. But again, all of
this is because Trump is signing executive orders, doing all
of this flurry of executive orders, and doing so because
Congress hasn't put a bill on his desk.
Speaker 2: For years.
Speaker 1: I have heard the criticism from the left and the media,
but I repeat myself that the Republicans don't know how
to govern. They can't govern, and the reason why is
because they want to kill the government. They hate government.
They're for limited government, so they don't possibly understand how
to govern. Now, I have known that to be false
because states are controlled by Republicans, more than half of
them have Republican majorities, and we have example after example
of Republican lawmakers actually knowing how to run bills and
make law. Why is this such a problem at the
national level. Why can't Congress get its act together and
run bills and get them passed again even if they fail,
at least you are running the bill, and you are
getting Democrats to have to defend their dumb assory.
Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you
so much for listening.
Speaker 1: I could not do the show without your support and
the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast,
so if you'd like, please support them too and tell
them you heard it here. You can also become a
patron at my Patreon page or go to thepetecallanershow dot com. Again,
thank you so much for listening, and don't break anything
while I'm gone.
