Alrighty, so, 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,039 I don't know if these stories are related. I don't 11 00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:35,960 know if they're related to our local story. I just 12 00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:41,000 find them to be well, I find them to be connected. Okay, 13 00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:44,840 I do find I find there to be a connection. 14 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:50,640 I sense a connection between three stories. Right the first 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,439 I went over yesterday in great detail as the Mecklenburg 16 00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:58,359 County Sheriff Gary not my Fault McFadden put out his 17 00:00:58,479 --> 00:01:05,159 compelling and rich press release about his heroic intervention that 18 00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,120 yielded nothing with the Ice agents that were taking into 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,799 custody and illegal alien outside the courthouse. 20 00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: Outrage ensued, how dare they. 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: What pick up an illegal alien for deportation outside of 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,040 the courthouse? They're allowed to do that? That's their job. 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,200 You have no role in it, you have no say 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,760 in it. It does not matter to them, it does 25 00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:34,200 not matter to me. Okay, it is spectacle to see 26 00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,120 no doubt. And that's what apparently, what was it I 27 00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,400 heard the Community Migrant Network or something like that. This 28 00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:48,640 has now become. This is part of the counterop, which 29 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:55,359 is people who are open borders types. They are recording 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,840 video recording all of these ICE actions trying to get 31 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,159 license plates, making model of vehicles and stuff. And if 32 00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,719 they can get the people, the ICE agents themselves, they 33 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:12,240 can get their faces recorded and then they share it 34 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,400 on social media. So now everybody who's trying to avoid 35 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,680 deportation to now identify vehicles if they see them hanging around. 36 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:23,280 And so apparently according to the latest story I heard 37 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,400 driving in today here on WBT was that somebody tipped 38 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,280 off McFadden because they saw a van and they I 39 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,439 guess hypothesized or maybe they knew from the social media 40 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,080 network sharing counterop that ICE was there looking for somebody 41 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,080 and that's how they were able to tip off McFadden. 42 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,080 Now ask yourself the question of why does this person 43 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:54,479 have Gary McFadden's phone number where he can be immediately 44 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,840 alerted that Ice is out front picking up somebody. I 45 00:02:57,879 --> 00:03:01,159 will leave that for the local reporters to track down. 46 00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,280 That's the obvious question to me is walk me through 47 00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:07,719 the timeline of how this all happened and why McFadden 48 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,639 is getting tipped off from the anti deportation counterop. You know, 49 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,319 so that was the first story. I'm not going to 50 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,479 go into the details. I dragged the sheriff far enough yesterday, 51 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,800 so I feel no need to revisit that. You can 52 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680 go back though and listen on the podcast at thepeatpod 53 00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:32,800 dot com. So there's that story, okay, And then there's 54 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,599 this story. You may have heard this. A couple days ago, 55 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:45,479 we got news of a judge in New Mexico who 56 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:52,879 was housing an illegal alien at his house. And there's 57 00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,960 been a development now the former now New Mexico Democrat 58 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:04,039 judge Jose Kano or Kano and his wife have reportedly 59 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,919 been taken into custody by federal officials after being accused 60 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:14,960 of harboring an illegal alien, not just any illegal alien, no, no, 61 00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:20,000 a trend at at Ragua gang member in their home. 62 00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:26,759 This raises all sorts of other questions for me, did 63 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:30,600 they actually have a choice. My understanding of the way 64 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,759 these gangs operate is they are corrupting influences on judges, 65 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:48,000 law enforcement, right, business people, and they do this through intimidation, harassment, attacks, right. 66 00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,720 And so now I am wondering, was this a friendly judge, 67 00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:57,959 Was this judge on the payroll? Was this judge coerced somehow? 68 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: I don't know. 69 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:03,319 Speaker 1: When you take in a trend a Aragua member and 70 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,759 put them up in your house to avoid deportation, that's 71 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,800 the first thing that I thought of. Now, maybe the 72 00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,360 judge is just you know, bleeding hard lefty, and oh, 73 00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:15,600 you know, I just I have a soft spot in 74 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:17,199 my heart for the you know, the guys with the 75 00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:21,600 gang tattoos all over their face. Or maybe they're you know, 76 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,800 fight the power, tear down Western civilization leftist, and they are, 77 00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:32,560 you know, they're more interested in destroying the system, and 78 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,240 so putting them up in the house would be a 79 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,399 way to help destroy the system and undermine the patriarchy. 80 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,399 Speaker 2: And the systemic isms and such. Maybe that's it. 81 00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: K Fox fourteen captured a video yesterday afternoon showing federal 82 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,720 officials placing Kano and his wife, Nancy, both into custody. 83 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,720 As US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers executed a search 84 00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,839 and probable cause arrest warrant at their Las Cruces Hout 85 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:04,800 home house whatever. The video shows officials wearing Homeland Security 86 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,519 Investigations and FBI vests detaining the couple near a set 87 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,680 of vehicles, both placed in handcuffs. In March last month, 88 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,160 Kano resigned from his position after twenty three year old 89 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:27,639 Venezuelan national Christian Ortego Lopez was arrested by authorities. Ortego 90 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Lopez had reportedly met Nancy Caino after illegally entering the 91 00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:35,639 United States in twenty twenty three near Eagle Pass taxes. 92 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,879 Remember that place? Oh boy, that was ground zero, wasn't 93 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,040 it for a while? And he later accepted her offer 94 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:50,000 to stay in a casita behind their home. I do 95 00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:53,160 not know if he was contracted to work on the 96 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,439 pool for her. I'm not sure if he was doing 97 00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:02,079 some pool maintenance operations. Leading up to Canos' resignation, the 98 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,480 Department of Justice said federal authorities had executed search warrants 99 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,079 related to unlawful firearm possession and other offenses involving four 100 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,079 illegal migrants in the state or Tego Lopez among them. 101 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:26,000 The couple the canoes both face evidence tampering charges. Seems bad, 102 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:33,439 all right, So what is the connection, peep, I'm getting there. 103 00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:38,879 Third story. This came down this morning moments ago. ABC 104 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:45,279 News reports a Milwaukee County circuit judge has been arrested 105 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:51,560 by the FBI over allegedly helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest. 106 00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:56,240 This according to the FBI director Cash Patel, Judge Hannah 107 00:07:56,439 --> 00:08:01,199 Dugan was arrested on obstruction charges. Quote this is from 108 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:01,879 Cash Pattel. 109 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,439 Speaker 2: Quote. 110 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,959 Speaker 1: We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from 111 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:15,279 the subject to be arrested in her courthouse. The guy's 112 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,279 names Eduardo Flores Ruiz. It allowed him to evade arrest. 113 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Dugan was arrested early Friday morning today at the courthouse. 114 00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:30,519 Flores Ruiz was arrested still a short time later. Thankfully, 115 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,519 Patel said, our agents chased down the purp on foot 116 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,720 and he's been in custody since. But the judge's obstruction 117 00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:43,919 created increased danger to the public. I'm starting to think 118 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:50,600 that ICE and the FBI are turning their attention to 119 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:56,240 the jails and the courthouses. This is now three occasions 120 00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:59,559 right here in Mecklenburg County. They picked one up outside 121 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,000 of the court house, and then these two different judges 122 00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:09,159 now charged for obstructing or aiding and abetting in these efforts. 123 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,720 Because you know that people in the legal community, they 124 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:18,559 know who the which judges. 125 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 2: Have the soft hearts. 126 00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,759 Speaker 1: Let's just say it that way, right, There's a reason 127 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,720 lawyers know to go to a particular judge to ask 128 00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:27,440 for a particular case. You know, they hear a particular case. 129 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,320 They want a judge on a case for a reason 130 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,000 because they know the judges. They know their temperament, they 131 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,399 know what their history is, they know they think that 132 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,080 they can kind of guess how they may rule on 133 00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:43,360 some stuff. They're sympathetic. I wonder if there's some focus 134 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,960 being turned on the lawyers with the wardrobe changes. Here's 135 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,519 a great idea. How about making an escape to a 136 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,120 really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina? Just 137 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,679 a quick drive up the mountain and cabins of Asheville. 138 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:00,840 Is your connection.

Alrighty, so, I 157 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,919 have a suspicion that these that the Federal Law Enforcement 158 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:13,320 Homeland Security do O j Ice. I think they are. 159 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,399 I think they are looking at the nexus in the 160 00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:25,600 judiciary with these uh with the illegal immigration issue. That's 161 00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:30,320 just a wild speculation, wild hypothetical on my part, But 162 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,200 I don't like. After a certain point, it's a pattern, right, 163 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:37,600 It's no longer coincidence, it's a pattern. And so I'm 164 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,759 starting to wonder if this is the pattern because this 165 00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:47,120 is an this is an op and going into areas 166 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:52,240 or you know, courthouses where illegal aliens have been getting 167 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:55,759 turned loose, particularly the criminal ones, because that's why they're 168 00:11:55,759 --> 00:12:01,039 in the courthouses, right, And it's not too difficult to track. 169 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,759 If you've got judges that are making comments and making 170 00:12:04,879 --> 00:12:09,120 rulings that are turning people loose and everything, it's not 171 00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:13,080 difficult to like. Okay, well, like, for instance, Gary, not 172 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,879 my fault. McFadden, the sheriff here, he has a history. 173 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,000 They know his history. He does not cooperate with ICE, 174 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:25,080 and he prefers to turn people loose. And okay, we'll 175 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,960 hang out in front of the courthouse. Then we'll start 176 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,679 picking them up right outside of your doors. And then 177 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,240 he's going to come up with policies and procedures whatever. Yeah, 178 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,399 go ahead, do whatever you want, Do whatever you want. 179 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,759 We asked to cooperate with you. All you have to 180 00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:42,519 do is call ICE when these people that are in 181 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:47,320 your jail are about to bond out. All ICE asks 182 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,600 is you hold on to them and give them a 183 00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:52,080 heads up. And they give you the freaking phone number 184 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,000 to call. And he refuses to make the call, but 185 00:12:57,039 --> 00:13:01,360 he's handing out a cell phone number to ICE agents 186 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,960 that are there. I suggested that ICE take that phone number, 187 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,240 share it with every single officer in the vicinity, and 188 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,240 just call Gary every five to ten minutes and ask, hey, 189 00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:15,720 is somebody getting turned to loose today? 190 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: Hey? Is somebody getting released today? Hey? Do you know 191 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:25,000 of anybody just over and over and over again that 192 00:13:25,039 --> 00:13:25,480 would be. 193 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,399 Speaker 1: Malicious compliance? Or is the kid say extra? It's a 194 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:37,320 little extra, all right. Meanwhile, we have other lawyers with 195 00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,240 the wardrobe changes looking to slow down Donald Trump and 196 00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:46,679 thwart his presidency because that's what the resistance is all about, right, 197 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:50,480 and he means necessary, you will use the only thing, 198 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,720 the only tools you have, because let's face it, right, 199 00:13:53,759 --> 00:13:57,919 the street protests they were in cutnet. People kind of 200 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,399 just ignore them now and they don't really have an effect. 201 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,159 I mean, yeah, media, go out and cover you know, 202 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,120 the crazy colored hair people in your protests, but it's 203 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:12,480 not really, it's not moving the needle, you know. So 204 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:17,279 now just use the judiciary and just block everything for 205 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,279 as long as possible. Slow it all down, doesn't matter 206 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:24,200 if you're starting to, you know, create precedent that might 207 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960 come back and bite you, doesn't matter. See, leftists never 208 00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:30,039 think in these types of terms. They think only in 209 00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:34,039 terms of seizing power. That's it, that's all it is about, 210 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,000 because that is the philosophy. It is power dynamics. That's 211 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,759 what Marxism is. It's about power dynamics. Who has it 212 00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:48,320 and who's trying to get it, and so their intent 213 00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:51,440 is to seize the power and then they'll rule. However 214 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,960 they need to rule to keep their power. They're very 215 00:14:56,039 --> 00:15:01,120 shortsighted on some of this stuff. So we have the judge. 216 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,639 Now this is out of a federal district court, Washington, 217 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:11,039 d C. US District Court Judge Colleen Coller Kotelli. 218 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: Both. 219 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: Thank goodness, her name Colleen is spelled with a C, 220 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,240 because otherwise that would make for a very awkward monogram 221 00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:24,600 on the towels. Okay, Donald Trump's unilateral effort to reshape 222 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:30,600 election processes is an attempt to short circuit Congress's deliberative 223 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,399 process by executive order, a federal judge in Washington, d C. 224 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:38,720 Wrote yesterday afternoon in a one hundred twenty page opinion, 225 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,360 US District Judge Colleen Coller Kotelli blocked the Trump administration 226 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,200 from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, and 227 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,679 ordering that election officials assess the citizenship of anyone who 228 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:59,720 receives public assistance before allowing them to register, so that 229 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,879 is on hold. She also barred the Election Assistants Commission 230 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,200 from withholding federal funding from states that did not comply 231 00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:10,360 with the order. So it's just putting the brakes on 232 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,080 this executive order. I will say it again, none of 233 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:22,879 this changes unless Congress acts. I don't understand what the 234 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:27,240 hell Congress is doing or not doing. I should say 235 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,919 or accurately that they are not doing these things. You 236 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,799 guys have a very slim majority, and you have a 237 00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:41,679 very narrow window to do these things. How are you 238 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,519 not running bills? I don't care if you run the 239 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:49,159 bill and it fails. I'd rather you run a bill 240 00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:53,399 and have it fail than to not do anything at all, 241 00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,799 you have to keep up the pressure. You have to 242 00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:02,399 keep making or submitting the legislation like otherwise, the executive 243 00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,319 orders are only good until Trump walks out of office. 244 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,920 This has been a problem from the get go. I 245 00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:16,519 my position on executive orders has not changed. Even when 246 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:20,160 I agree with the executive order, I don't like them 247 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,480 just by default. 248 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: I don't like them because. 249 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: We do not elect a king. And Trump is pushing 250 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,680 the boundaries. Absolutely, he's pushing the boundaries of what he 251 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,200 can do. But after what we saw with Biden and 252 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,000 what we saw with Obama, and what we saw with Bush, 253 00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:40,880 and what we saw with Clinton, and what we saw 254 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,599 with Bush the Elder and Reagan, it goes back decades. 255 00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:50,119 Presidents keep doing more of these executive orders. But what 256 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,799 it's creating is this wild swing back and forth and 257 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,559 back and forth. It just creates instability in the society. 258 00:17:59,839 --> 00:18:03,680 Not helpful, it's not healthy. You have to codify this 259 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:08,400 with law, and the House and the Senate needs to 260 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,279 get off their asses and start proposing legislation, running these 261 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:17,000 bills through, getting them passed, and you will get Trump's signature. 262 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:21,519 For crying out loud, you can look you want to 263 00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:23,759 do the citizenship thing. They've got a bill to do this. 264 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,160 Where's where is it? Well, the Democrats are going to 265 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,039 filibuster it. Let them filibuster. Make them do a Spartacus 266 00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:36,160 aka Corey Booker, like, make them do a filibuster to 267 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:39,519 prevent the passage of a law that says you have 268 00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:43,240 to be a US citizen to vote. Make them do it. Absolutely. 269 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,079 The campaign commercials write themselves. All right, if you're listening 270 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,720 to this show, you know I try to keep up 271 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,519 with all sorts of current events, and I know you 272 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:54,000 do too, And you've probably heard me say get your 273 00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:57,960 news from multiple sources. Why Well, because it's how you 274 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,960 detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed 275 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,759 with ground News.

So this judge in DC says 291 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,519 Donald Trump's order to require proof citizenship to register to 292 00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:07,079 vote exceeded the president's authority, noting that the Department of 293 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,160 Justice quote offered almost no defense of the president's order. 294 00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:13,839 Speaker 2: Look, I'm no lawyer, I'm no. 295 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,839 Speaker 1: Legal scholar, constitutional expert, or anything. It does seem though, 296 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,559 like if you are not allowed to rewrite the law 297 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,279 as the president, then you can't rewrite the law as 298 00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,720 the president. I may agree with what he's trying to do. 299 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,920 This is why my contempt is for Congress. The people 300 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,559 that are elected to write the laws are refusing to 301 00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:38,559 do their freaking jobs while they have this window of opportunity, 302 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,799 while they have the chance to build on a mandate, 303 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,519 while they have the chance to take a pretty good 304 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,160 swipe at the leftist project that has been going on 305 00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:55,119 for decades. You have the chance now to actually try 306 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,880 to make a difference, and they're just they're on vacation, 307 00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:05,160 and they're like, they're not focused, they're not disciplined. I 308 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,160 don't understand what you're doing. I do understand. It's their 309 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,160 incentives are not to actually get laws passed. Their incentive 310 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,200 is to fundraise and to get re elected based on 311 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,720 floor speeches that nobody watches, but clips of which go 312 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,799 viral among you know, small dollar donors. It's the only 313 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,559 it's the only explanation here in my mind, because the 314 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,599 judge might very well be correct on this, but the 315 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,839 fact that we have so many cases like this, so 316 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:42,759 many judges issuing injunctive relief barring the president from doing 317 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,480 basically everything, well, it all gets thrown into this one basket, 318 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:55,359 not of deplorables, but one basket of examples of you know, 319 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:59,200 judges thwarting Trump. And in some of these cases, I 320 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,079 would say probably most of these rulings are not legit, 321 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,279 but there are there are some that are going to 322 00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:07,039 be in the basket that. 323 00:22:07,079 --> 00:22:07,759 Speaker 2: Will be legit. 324 00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: It's just in this I also blame Chief Justice John Roberts. 325 00:22:13,759 --> 00:22:18,720 I went over this yesterday too, more worried about the 326 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,640 the opinions rather of his peers in DC and in 327 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,880 the law schools and academia. He's more interested in what 328 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,079 they think of him and the court and whether he's 329 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,000 doing a good job versus the public, versus the American people. 330 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,640 What do we think you're doing? Do we have confidence 331 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,960 in your court? And every time you try to to 332 00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:47,720 make these accommodations in order to protect your peers opinion, 333 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:50,079 you lose public opinion. 334 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: ABC News reports that. 335 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: The judge said, if Trump wishes to not directly quote here, 336 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,440 but if the president wishes to reform election processes, Congress 337 00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,279 would be the appropriate branch to do so for now. 338 00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:11,079 The judge did allow the Trump administration to carry out 339 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:13,440 two parts of the executive order that are related to 340 00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:18,160 enforcement of pre existing laws. One of the sections ordered 341 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,279 the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State 342 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,960 to make voting databases accessible to the Department of Government 343 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,160 Efficiency to identify non citizens who are registered to vote. 344 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:33,319 Speaker 2: Good. So that's a victory. Good. 345 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,519 Speaker 1: This kind of cross check is a I mean, this 346 00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:42,480 to me is a very simple and I don't know, 347 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,920 foundational kind of approach to list management. 348 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: And integrity. 349 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 1: You have these different databases, cross reference them. The second section, 350 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,279 which she allowed to stand, directed the Department of Justice 351 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,960 to take action against states that do not adopt Trump's 352 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,279 requirement that mail in ballots be received by election day. 353 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,720 Good mail in ballots should be in the election offices 354 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,759 by the close of the polls on election day. You 355 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,880 don't get extra time to vote. Election day is the 356 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,440 last day. That's it. Everybody votes by that day. Very simple. 357 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: Oh but what about the postmarks? Well then I'm sorry, 358 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,119 then it doesn't count, right. 359 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if I'm mailing a birthday card to my 360 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,079 mom and I don't drop it in the mail, you know, 361 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,319 seventeen weeks ahead of time, that's my fault for not 362 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,400 getting I'm just kidding. I don't do it seventeen weeks. 363 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,839 But still you drop it in the mail. If you 364 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,720 want to do a mail in ballot, and you have 365 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:51,880 to know that, I have to drop it in the 366 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,519 mail early so it gets there on time. You don't 367 00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:58,680 get to drop it in the mail at seven pm 368 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,440 or eight pm or eleven fifty nine pm on election day. 369 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,640 And if it shows up without a postmark, it doesn't count. 370 00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:12,680 It shouldn't count. Because there's no way to know when 371 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,680 the vote was actually dropped in the mail. This is 372 00:25:16,519 --> 00:25:23,559 very elementary stuff. So a couple of bright spots on 373 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,759 that order at least, or that ruling on that order, 374 00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:32,920 and then we go to California. A federal judge in 375 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,720 Northern California has barred the Trump administration from withholding funds 376 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,960 from cities and counties that follow sanctuary policies, which were 377 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000 targeted by executive orders the president issued at the start 378 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:48,960 of his second term. Andrew McCarthy, writing at National Review, 379 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,440 outlines the ruling. He does not, in my opinion, he 380 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,039 does not take any position on whether this ruling is 381 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,079 correct or not. He is simply outline what the judge 382 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,200 ordered and why. So this was a six page order. 383 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,240 Judge William Oric Junior and Obama appointee to the District 384 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:16,000 Court in San Francisco, reasoned that in relevant part, Trump's 385 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000 executive orders fourteen one fifty nine and fourteen two eighteen 386 00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:25,559 violate the constitution separation of powers. The spending power in 387 00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:30,680 article one, Article one made the Congress, Article two made 388 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,599 the presidency in article three made the judiciary. 389 00:26:34,039 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 2: Right. 390 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,759 Speaker 1: I think I got that right, yeah, Article three, Yeah, 391 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,319 so they and they outlined like this is what Congress does, 392 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,240 this is what the president does, and this is what 393 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,680 the judiciary does. Okay, So Article one gives the power 394 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,559 of the purse, the spending power, to Congress alone. This 395 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,119 is why you have all spending bills have to originate 396 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,359 in the House. Right, And Congress has the authority to 397 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:09,440 allocate public funds, including the authority to attach conditions on 398 00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:10,200 those funds. 399 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 2: Right. 400 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,839 Speaker 1: If Congress wants to, for example, THI federal funding to 401 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,880 the speed limit being fifty five miles an hour. 402 00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:20,599 Speaker 2: Right, that's what Congress can do. 403 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: By holding out the carit of the federal money. It 404 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,799 does not empower Article one does not empower the president 405 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,079 to attach additional conditions. Though the president does not get 406 00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:37,799 to do that. That's more like a a that's a 407 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,440 kingly kind of a power. The president doesn't have that 408 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,640 because the president is not a king. I don't want 409 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,240 a king. Even if I like the guy, I don't 410 00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:53,000 want him to be the king. The president's constitutional duty 411 00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:55,519 is to take care that the laws enacted by Congress 412 00:27:55,559 --> 00:28:01,640 are faithfully executed. Right as an actor, Federal spending laws 413 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,519 do not condition funding to states, counties, and municipalities on 414 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,559 their enforcement of federal immigration law. So once again, if 415 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:14,640 Congress wants to create a condition that you have to 416 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:19,880 help enforce immigration law, that you have to cooperate with ICE. 417 00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:23,720 This is why North Carolina passed this law, and that 418 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,319 was passing another version of it, an amendment to that 419 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,759 law because of sheriffs like Gary. Not my fault, McFadden, right, 420 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:34,440 they refuse to cooperate with ICE. And so okay, we 421 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,759 are now going to make it a law that you 422 00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:41,559 must That's what Congress needs to do. But Congress isn't 423 00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:44,599 doing it all right, So spring is here a time 424 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,480 of renewal and celebrations.

All right, I have a Pete tweet 442 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,200 from the Urn. Pete, have you done a wellness check on? 443 00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:54,680 It's not my fault McFadden yet, I can't wait for 444 00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,319 the purp walk video of him. He deserves it as well. 445 00:29:57,519 --> 00:30:03,480 Stop putting citizens and police at risk. It's yeah, okay, 446 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:05,960 and that's it. One that at Patriot Girl says, if 447 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,960 we're lucky, the FBI will arrest Tariff McFadden for failure 448 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,240 to cooperate with ICE and we'll be rid of him 449 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,759 once and for all. 450 00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:16,559 Speaker 2: Pete Bitcoin deals here. 451 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: Oh that's a spam, that's junk mail. This from Tim 452 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,519 who says two judges locked up for harboring illegal aliens. 453 00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:30,079 Speaker 2: I call that a good start. Go get them cash. 454 00:30:30,319 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: Pattel John says, since Gary not my fault, McFadden will 455 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,079 not call ICE before releasing an illegal alien that they want. 456 00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:40,119 Why does an ICE just come pick them up as 457 00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:42,319 soon as they know they're in jail. They seem to 458 00:30:42,319 --> 00:30:44,960 know they're there. They just want to wait until they 459 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,400 are released before they pick them up. Just go get 460 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,000 them immediately. So I'm not sure that ICE is actually 461 00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:59,519 allowed to take somebody out of state custody. I'm not 462 00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:03,039 I'm not sure that you can basically short circuit the 463 00:31:03,759 --> 00:31:09,119 state arrest and intake in that process. Right, You get 464 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,519 arrested for some criminal activity allegedly, and they send you 465 00:31:13,559 --> 00:31:16,759 into the jail, you get processed, and you know, in 466 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:19,240 the past, McFadden like didn't even want to tell ICE 467 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,839 that they had found illegal alien. So now they have 468 00:31:22,319 --> 00:31:25,319 to report they're an illegal alien in the custody of 469 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,240 the Sheriff's office. And so once ICE is made aware, 470 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,680 Ice says, all right, put it, you know, just hold 471 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,680 on to them. Give us forty eight hours, and that 472 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 gives ICE time to do the research and find out 473 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,799 is this somebody that we're going to deport Do we 474 00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:41,480 send people whatever like they have to. They've got their 475 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400 side of the operation. They have to line up. But 476 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,279 if they know that you're you're holding somebody and they're 477 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:49,640 not bonding out they can't afford the bond or something, 478 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,440 there's less of a timeline for ICE to act on that. 479 00:31:52,559 --> 00:31:58,119 So ICE will deprioritize taking that person into custody versus, 480 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,039 you know, racing down there every time. Now, you could say, 481 00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:06,039 maybe just set up, you know, a big van. I 482 00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,279 don't want to call it a paddy wagon because I 483 00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:12,319 believe that might have some sort of negative stereotypical implications 484 00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:13,079 for the Irish. 485 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,119 Speaker 2: But you set up a big bus. How about that? 486 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,720 A bus. 487 00:32:18,039 --> 00:32:20,319 Speaker 1: We can't use the sheriff's bus because he converted it 488 00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:23,880 into a bookmobile. So we have a bus maybe, and 489 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,920 you just staff a bunch of ICE people there all 490 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,039 day and as soon as people bail out, you just 491 00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:31,920 walk in and take them. And that's I think what 492 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,519 they did yesterday. That's what it sounds like they did 493 00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:37,839 yesterday or day before. 494 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: Was it Wednesday? I think it may have been. 495 00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't remember, but I think that's what they did. 496 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:47,240 They waited there on somebody to get released, and they 497 00:32:47,319 --> 00:32:50,039 did not take custody of them inside the jail, inside 498 00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:55,240 the courthouse because I suspect McFadden won't allow that transfer 499 00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:00,640 to occur. Because remember, McFadden demands some sort of a 500 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:06,440 warrant from a judicial official. But the warrants are administrative 501 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:14,000 because it's immigration, it's a different track inside the government process. 502 00:33:14,759 --> 00:33:18,599 McFadden knows this, That's why he always says a judicial warrant. 503 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,839 So now, okay, you're not going to cooperate with us, 504 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,119 We're going to just sit on your doorstep and we're 505 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,839 going to take people as they come out of the building. 506 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 2: That's it. No fear, That's what McFadden basically is saying. 507 00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:34,359 No fear. 508 00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: Ye, Actually it is fair. It's called a workaround. They're 509 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:45,440 working around you. And even if you were willing to 510 00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:49,160 help ICE and they were to reach out to you, 511 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,119 why would they trust you at this point? Why would 512 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,240 ICE trust that you're acting in good faith on any 513 00:33:55,279 --> 00:33:59,319 of this when you have been campaigning and promising and 514 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,039 acting in bad faith the entire time. 515 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:05,279 Speaker 2: So all right, back to. 516 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: Back to this National Review piece by Andrew McCarthy about 517 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:16,119 the Sanctuary city's executive order. Basically, it was to freeze 518 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,639 funding federal money was to withhold federal money for any 519 00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:26,679 sanctuary jurisdiction, and Judge Oric says that as enacted, federal 520 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:30,639 spending laws do not condition funding two states, counties, and 521 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:35,800 municipalities on their enforcement of federal immigration laws. Judge Oric 522 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,960 concluded that the two executive orders at issue were basically 523 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,840 the same as the executive order from President Trump's first term, 524 00:34:45,559 --> 00:34:51,440 and when that executive order was issued, Judge Orick ruled 525 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,559 on that too, something maybe to the fact that the 526 00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:57,280 lawyers know which judge to go in front of In 527 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,079 San Francisco. Orick ruled that was unconstitutional as well. His 528 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,079 ruling was then appealed. It went to the Ninth Circuit 529 00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:10,199 Court of Appeals, and it was upheld. So even if 530 00:35:10,199 --> 00:35:12,559 he had some sort of change of mind over the 531 00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:16,519 last few years, which he obviously hasn't, he would have 532 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,360 been bound to follow the Ninth Circuit precedent from twenty eighteen. 533 00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:24,679 He also found that the new executive orders violate the 534 00:35:24,679 --> 00:35:27,320 Fifth Amendment because, in his view, they are vague and 535 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,800 violate due process with holding funds on the president's unilateral 536 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,000 say so, so there's no due process. Further, the judge 537 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,320 concluded that the executive orders violate the Tenth Amendment by 538 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:44,440 coercively commandeering state and local officials into enforcing executive immigration 539 00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,679 policies and federal law. What have I been saying, like 540 00:35:49,079 --> 00:35:55,079 the nullification as the crisis, right, a nullification crisis. That's 541 00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:57,840 the prediction from the guys who did the fourth turning. 542 00:35:59,559 --> 00:36:02,199 And it looks like this is where it's going to pop, 543 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:08,880 that's my guess. Moreover, to the extent that Attorney General 544 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,960 Pamel Labondi has undertaken in compliance with the executive orders 545 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,599 to freeze DOJ funds Congress has allocated to state and 546 00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:18,679 local programs, the judge found it likely that this action 547 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:24,440 was arbitrary and capricious, violative of the Constitution and thus 548 00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:28,920 an illegal final agency action and violation of the Administrative PROCEDURECT. 549 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,159 So you can't do any of it, according to this judge, 550 00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:35,960 who also directed that his order quote shall apply to 551 00:36:36,039 --> 00:36:40,840 the maximum extent provided for by federal law and procedural rules, 552 00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:46,719 which means what it means that it's basically another nationwide injunction. 553 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:54,719 It applies to everybody, even though it's one judge with 554 00:36:56,119 --> 00:37:00,639 like no class that's been certified. Now maybe somebody sues 555 00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:02,840 at another level in a different district and they get 556 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,119 a different ruling, and then it forces the Supreme Court 557 00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:07,320 to have to take this up. But again, all of 558 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,679 this is because Trump is signing executive orders, doing all 559 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:15,000 of this flurry of executive orders, and doing so because 560 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,639 Congress hasn't put a bill on his desk. 561 00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 2: For years. 562 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: I have heard the criticism from the left and the media, 563 00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:31,320 but I repeat myself that the Republicans don't know how 564 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,480 to govern. They can't govern, and the reason why is 565 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,559 because they want to kill the government. They hate government. 566 00:37:35,559 --> 00:37:38,199 They're for limited government, so they don't possibly understand how 567 00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:40,760 to govern. Now, I have known that to be false 568 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,320 because states are controlled by Republicans, more than half of 569 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,920 them have Republican majorities, and we have example after example 570 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,920 of Republican lawmakers actually knowing how to run bills and 571 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,880 make law. Why is this such a problem at the 572 00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:04,800 national level. Why can't Congress get its act together and 573 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,920 run bills and get them passed again even if they fail, 574 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,239 at least you are running the bill, and you are 575 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,639 getting Democrats to have to defend their dumb assory. 576 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you 577 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:21,760 so much for listening. 578 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: I could not do the show without your support and 579 00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:26,760 the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast, 580 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:29,199 so if you'd like, please support them too and tell 581 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,960 them you heard it here.
