passed two bills to help the federal government with immigration enforcement.
Outrage has ensued. How dare you follow the law? So
the headline from the Charlotte Observer quote, North Carolina Republicans
send immigration crackdown bills to Governor Josh Stein's desk. Slight correct.
The Republicans sent illegal immigration crackdown bill. See, they're not
cracking down on immigration because states don't have any power
or authority to do that. Headline writer at the Charlotte
Observer or the Raleigh News and Observer or whatever the
other McClatchy paper is, whoever it was that wrote that headline,
why do you insist on conflating illegal immigration with legal immigration.
I know the answer, I know the answer, but seriously, guys,
have some respect, you know, have some self respect here,
Have some dignity for all the people who came before
you in the grand pantheon of journalisming, you know, show
some respect, have some dignity. Recognize that there are two
issues here, two issues. I played yesterday a clip from
CNN's Harry Enton talking about the massive movement of legal
immigrants voters who are foreign born, who became citizens. They
are here, they are allowed to vote, and they moved
forty points towards the Republicans on immigration enforcement. Democrats enjoyed
a thirty two point margin advantage in twenty twenty, and
now Republicans enjoy an eight point advantage. That is a
forty point swing. Foreign Born voters understand this difference, even
if you native born American does not. But again, maybe
you're ignorant here, or maybe you're acting out of malice
to obview skate. I don't know, and I don't care.
But at this point there is no excuse for not
understanding this difference. And now you are engaged in disinformation.
You are actively trying to mislead your audience with the
headline it is not a crackdown on immigration. It's a
crackdown on one specific kind illegal immigration. The story by
Kyle Ingram. And we're always told the reporters do not
write the headlines. So I do not attribute the bad
headline to Kyle Ingram, the reporter who begins fussly as
national protests break out. I love that that they just
break out. These protesters are just breaking out as if
there's zero level of coordination, zero you know, impact of
any NGOs or organizations that have made protesting their business model.
So they just broke out across the country against US
immigration and customs enforcements, sweeping deportation raids. North Carolina lawmakers
yesterday sent two bills to the governor's desk that target
unauthorized immigrants. See so he understands he wrote it right there,
unauthorized immigrants and mandate further state cooperation with ICE. Okay.
The wide ranging bills would deputize some state law enforcement
agencies to carry out immigration actions. Would ban immigrants illegal immigrants. Oh,
I'm Kyle, come on, man, ban illegal immigrants from receiving
state benefits if they are in Okay. So he says,
if they're in the country illegally. See so all right,
say illegal immigrants. Why do you have to add all
these extra words? See back in my day, sorry, back
in my day, we would use fewer words. But you
were always trying to edit copy down so you can
tell the story in as few words as possible. So
then you could add more information. Because on the news
on the newspaper side, the print side, right, you're limited
by column inches. On the radio side, you're limited by time.
Same goes for television. So the more succinctly you can
deliver the news, the more information you could then put
into the story. Ban immigrants from receiving state benefits if
they are in the country illegally, and require sheriffs and
prisons to notify ice about suspected immigration violations in more circumstances.
Both of these bills had passed the Senate yesterday with
every Democrat united in opposing these proposals. So not a
single Democrat voted for any of this. You guys are
going to reput you sow and it is going to
be delicious. The bill this is according to Natalie Murdoch,
a Durham Democrat, this bill is not about safety. It's
about intimidation. It's about fear mongering, and it's about targeting
vulnerable people who come to North Carolina seeking a better
life and then also to break laws. Okay, I added
the last part. There. No, if you are in the
country illegally, you are not supposed to be here, and
the due process is ice. We have laws, and just
because you guys got accustomed to not enforcing immigration law
for twenty years doesn't mean the laws don't exist. You
don't like the law. If you want open borders, then
well first take control of the legislative bodies and rewrite
the laws. These are open borders positions. They are literally
saying do not do We said that. We played the
clip yesterday of the mayor of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen
dumb Bess, and she's like, no, this all started because
you guys were enforcing immigration law. Yeah. So what you're
telling me then is that if you try to enforce law,
we're gonna burn the cities down. This is where we are.
Are there any other laws that we're not allowed to
enforce in democrat controlled cities or counties or states? Are
there other laws you guys are trying to nullify. You're
just not going to follow it. Do you understand what
happens when the right begins to play by your rules?
You should. You should, because you're getting a taste of
it through various things that the Trump administration is doing,
and now all of a sudden is oh my gosh,
I can't believe it. We warned you, we warned you.
You're not going to like it when your enemies play
by the same rules, when they pick up your tactics
and they start using them against you. And this is
apparently the only way that these people on the left
are going to learn. There is one standard. If you
have a law, you can enforce the law, you should
enforce the law, and if you refuse to enforce that law,
then you should not have it on the books. Period.
There's no reason for it. This is an open border philosophy.
They do not want anybody who is in the country
illegally to be deported. They are citing the deportation efforts
as the reason for the unrest. Here's what writer named
Sonny Wright. He says, if you don't want mobs burning
down cities, then you shouldn't have tried to enforce the law.
So This is really your fault. This is the approved
Democrat party leadership position in California and nationally at this point.
This is what they're telling us that your attempt to
enforce the law is the cause for the violence. So
if you don't want the violence, then you have to
allow all these law breakers to remain. So it's your fault.
I have to believe a majority of Americans, sane people
not blinded by Trump derangement syndrome, must see the absolute
moral bankruptcy of this position. Again, the issue is never
the issue. The issue is always the revolution. Whatever they
can do to tear down the West, they will do.
The issue doesn't really matter, and right now it's immigration,
all right. If you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events.
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 slash Pete.
I put the link in the podcast description too. I
started using ground News a few months ago and more
recently chose to work with them as an affiliate because
it lets me see clearly how stories get covered and
by whom. The blind spot feature shows you which stories
get ignored by the left and the right. See for yourself.

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it
also supports ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent. Democratic Governor Josh Stein has not said whether
he will veto the two bills that have now cleared
the legislature. He does have. There's a so he can veto, right,
he can sign it, or he cannot do anything for
ten days and at the end of the ten days
it becomes law. So it's like the weasly way of
not weighing in on something, but kind of sort of
weighing in on it, Like, you know, everybody wants this
bill to become a law, but you don't want to
sign it. You don't want your name on it, so
you just it's not a pocket veto, it's a pocket approval. Okay,
So those are his options. I predict he'll veto both
of them, and then they will go back to the
House and Senate respectively, where I don't know if they've
got they may have enough votes to override. Well, yeah,
the Senate has a super majority. But will they be
able to get both bills overridden in the House. I'm
not so sure. Because one of the bills did get
one Democrat's vote, Carla Cunningham from Mecklenburg County. She voted
in favor of House Bill three eighteen. She was the
only Democrat to do so. House Bill three eighteen requires
sheriffs like Gary Not my Fault McFadden to notify ICE
before releasing anybody in their custody with a detainer or
detention request. A law passed last year requires the affected
person to be kept in confinement and additional forty eight
hours to give ICE the time to potentially retrieve that person.
But the new bill aims to ensure immigration officials are notified.
Because Sheriff not my Fault McFadden said, well, I don't
technically have to call when I know they're going to
bail out. So they were just giving them a heads
up when they came into the jail. But they aren't
giving ICE a heads up because that's what the law required,
because he was not doing that either, so they had
to pass a law to make them do that. And
then he was like, fine, fine, I'll let them know
they're in the jail. But then, of course if it
takes you know, if you're in the jail for like
a week or two weeks, ICE hasn't come and gotten
you yet because you're in the jail, they know where
you are. But then if you bail out, McFadden wasn't
telling ICE that they're getting ready to bail out, and
we're not going to hold onto them for forty eight
hours because we're not required to. So now the legislature
has come back and say, okay, Gary, this is your law.
Now Gary's law. You have to call ICE, you have
to alert them, okay. And so Carla Cunningham, Democrat from Mecklelberg,
wants Gary to do this good for her, so she
may vote with the Republicans to override a veto if
it happens. If a veto happens. But then the other bill,
the Senate bill, I suspect she probably would not vote
for that, and then you end up with this situation.
And we've seen this play out in different ways where
Republicans keep the bill on the calendar, the legislative calendar,
and if at any moment not enough Democrats show up
for the session, Democrats or Republicans will then bring the
bill back up for a veto override vote right then
and there. So it forces Democrats to have to be
at every single session. And you'll recall there was a
couple of years ago this happened with the budget. Roy
Cooper had vetoed the budget and one day the Democrats
were all out working on redistricting maps, probably illegally and anyway,
they were not there in the session. Republicans looked around,
realized what the situation was, to a quick head count
and said, hey, you know what, we're going to vote
to override that governor's veto. And Representative deb Butler I
mentioned this story the other day, and she got up
and started throwing a tantrum. I will not yield, mister Speaker,
I will not yield. And she's just screaming hysterically. And
the irony, of course, was that if she had just
walked out, if all the Democrats had just left the session,
then there would not have been a quorum necessary to
actually have the vote. But because they were so passionate
or deranged or ignorant, or maybe a combination of all three,
none of them left the floor, and it allowed the
vote to proceed and the veto was overridden. So maybe
we get something like that again today now. A spokesperson
for Stein's office the governor's office, said the governor will
continue to review the bill. He has made clear that
if someone commits a crime and they are here illegally,
they should be deported. Okay, well, okay, baby steps here, people,
let's take the victor right that at least Stein believes,
at least, a spokesperson says that if you commit a
crime and you are here illegally, then you should be deported.
So at least he is in favor I think of
deporting criminal aliens. Now that also cuts the other way, though,
which is that it doesn't seem like he believes that
if you're here illegally and that's it, you should be deported.
It's a tough spot for old Steiny Stein does. If
he does veto the bills, Republicans would have to gain
the support of at least one Democrat in the House
to override his objection. And then there is this little
blurb which is always my favorite. We talked with ap
Dylan the other day. We talk with her every Monday,
but I guess it was about a week or so ago,
maybe two weeks ago. There's this phenomenon called, as she
calls it, the uh. I think she calls it just
another protester or something, which is the people who get
quoted in North Carolina media accounts as just protesters demonstrators.
You know, these people are not simply protesters. These people
are known to media. These people are like professional activists.
And the Observer did it again. The McClatchy papers did
it again. They have a quote from Karen Ziegler, a
protester who says, I'm seeing our immigrant communities being terrorized
and it's unnecessary. And she is only identified as a
simple protester. She is actually senior pastor of an LGBTQ
church in Greenwich Village. In the eighties, she retired as
a nurse practitioner and now as a volunteer activist serving
as lead organizer for Democracy Out Loud Indivisible And if
that name rings a bell, it's the Indivisible groups all
across the country that have been organizing all of these
protests for like years. She also works with the Poor
People's Campaign. That's Reverend William Barber. This is the national
iteration of the Moral Monday movement. She is not just
some simple protester. She is a professional activist, a leftist activist.
But you would know that from reading the paper. 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 Ashville
is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon,
maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get

com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. Let me
run through, and I've covered this extensively over the last
few weeks, so I'm just going to give you the
highlights of the two different bills that the Senate passed
up in Raleigh. So the House already approved one of
these bills. They may have actually done both actually, So
the first is Senate Bill one fifty three. This is
called the North Carolina Border Protection Act. It would do
the following. According to Senate Majority Leader Philberger's press release,
number one requires state law enforcement agencies, including Department of
Public Safety, Department of Adult Correction, Highway Patrol, and the
State Bureau of Investigation to enter into agreements with the
Director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to fully cooperate
with immigration laws. This kind of thing is done all
the time, all right. So hang on a second. So
we have some live news here happening. It's breaking out.
This is a news conference where they're announcing two suspects
are charged with throwing molotov cocktail at police during the
La riots. Listen in. That is not it. I guarantee
you that's not it. There's a dude talking.
Speaker 2: County sheriff's part man, and all of the local law
enforcement agencies in La County. Thank you.
Speaker 3: If there's any questions, we could take a couple right now.
Speaker 1: Yes, how many people have been federally charged so far?
And what's the importance of charging. We'll get you those
hard numbers later.
Speaker 3: I know there's at least nine people charged over the
weekend we've had. We've had more people charged this week
for throwing rocks at officers. These two cases for throwing
molotov cocktails. We've had I think a couple others, but
we can get you that full list. We might even
do a bigger briefing tomorrow with all the federal agencies
to go over that more detail. Today, we want to
highlight these specific cases because we find this particular act
of violence to be extremely dangerous. As you saw in Colorado,
these malotov cocktails have the ability to seriously harm or
kill a person or you and a police officer that
they were thrown at. So we want to highlight these
two cases today. We'll get you more numbers. The importance
of charging people federally is to is for people to
know that their serious consequences.
Speaker 1: For the behavior, for their conduct.
Speaker 3: You have the right to peacefully protest, no one's going
to stop you, but as soon as you cross that
line into violence. You're throwing stuff, you're throwing rocks, you're
throwing bombs. That's unacceptable. It will not be tolerated, and
we're going to come down with a really heavy hand.
And this isn't state this isn't state court. This is
federal court. So you're going to go to federal prison
and you're going to go for many years, so the
consequences in federal system are much greater usually than they
are in the state system. That's the importance of it.
Speaker 1: That's Bill, Yes, sir, that's Bill is Saley, who is
the US attorney. This is going to go to David Kowalski,
the Los Angeles deputy police chief.
Speaker 3: That's something that helped in leading to their arrest or
was it intelligence from your police agency? Do you want
to do that, copect There's two separate cases, so let's
take one at a time. We'll start with the LA case.
Speaker 4: Yes, good morning, sir. Specific to the Los Angeles Police
Department case, we have a situation where our police officers
are trying to keep the peace during a very difficult
time on Sunday afternoon when the city was facing this
unprecedented violence in many areas of the downtown area. In
this particular case, we had a police officer who identified
this person holding what he believed to be a mall
atop cocktail, and fortunately was able to identify and several
officers were able to apprehend him safely without causing any
harm to anyone, especially our police officers. And I just
want to point out not only the keen observation skills
of our police officers right now during a difficult time,
but the courage they've had in trying to take these
people into Cussey. Remember, all of our officers are working
long hours right now and they're tired, but they're still
doing the best job possible well to keep this community
safe and protect our critical infrastructure.
Speaker 1: You want, we want to cover this share space. So
you've been watching it all right, so we're out. Yeah,
pot that down. So that's the Fox feed they're bailing,
apparently from this news conference. I pulled it up. I
looked at c SPAN, didn't see c Span with anything.
So otherwise, I just I always prefer to take the
raw feeds if I can get them. But that's what
we got. So charges filed, federal charges filed on some
of the rioters, and so good. That's the only way
this stuff gets tamped down. If there are no repercussions
for breaking the law, more people will break the law.
Seems pretty obvious. Tony, Welcome to the show. Hello, Tony.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's so good to health you.
Speaker 1: Are you on? Hey, Tony? Are you on a speakerphone?
First time caller.
Speaker 2: Coument. Yeah, that's better Okay, I see old Taco. You
know what I'm talking about. So he's so quick to
send the National Guard to the protesters, and you see
he has the power. He sure didn't call them for
January sixth. I guess, uh, that's just the black and
brown people. That's who you call the National Guard on.
Speaker 1: So, so, Tony, Tony, are you aware? Are you hang on? Tony?
Are you aware? Tony? Are you aware that he did
offer the National Guard to the District of Columbia and
it was refused?
Speaker 2: Are you still going with that?
Speaker 5: No? Do you?
Speaker 1: Did you want? Did you understand what I just told you?
That he did actually offer the National Guard to the
District of Columbia before January sixth, before the riots broke out?
Speaker 2: You believe that, I do.
Speaker 1: It's not a lie. It's actually been confirmed by Tony.
It's not a lie. It's been confirmed through through the
congressional investigation.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it.
Speaker 1: So, okay, So you're just going to dismiss that. You're
going to dismiss facts that don't align with your narrative. Right, So,
you've got a faith you you have conjured up a
fantasy in your mind, and when presented with evidence that
conflicts with that fantasy, you will reject the truth in
order to advance your fantasy. No, don't look at it.
I'm not looking at anything until I get past this
one point with you, Tony, because otherwise there's no point
because if I'm dealing with a fabulist, then there's no
reason for me to pursue it. Because if you're just
making up stuff and you're unwilling to entertain actual facts,
then there's no reason. There's no Tony. That doesn't None
of that even matters until you confront the very real
fact that the White House at the time offered the
National Guard to the District of Columbia and to Nancy Pelosi,
who was in charge of security of the capital, and
that that offer was rejected, and the day it happened,
when it was finally requested, the National Guard was sent in.
So do you do you do you accept this? So
do you accept this?
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta I gotta go back and check that
to make sure.
Speaker 1: But look here, you're not going to go back and check, Tony.
You know you're not going to go back and check
that because you don't want to know the.
Speaker 2: Truth got out order one taco called the NASA Garden.
He loved watching that, he.
Speaker 1: Did, Tony. See this is what I mean, Tony. You, Tony,
you are so blinded by your hatred of Trump that
you won't even allow the possibility that you may be
incorrect on this item. And you are incorrect on it.
Speaker 2: You're right about the hatred for Trump. I have the
Lord Gus.
Speaker 1: I know it's obvious. See here's the thing, Tony. If you, Tony,
if you don't like Donald Trump so much, why do
you allow him to control your thoughts? He absolutely is,
He absolutely is.
Speaker 2: He's a racist. That's why I'm upset.
Speaker 1: You are allowing him to control the way you think
about things. Why would you give somebody you hate that
much control over your brain?
Speaker 2: Beca is wrong, that's.
Speaker 1: Fine, But Tony, what I just laid out for you, Tony,
what I just laid out for you was the truth,
and you still refuse to accept it because you are
so loathing Donald Trump that you cannot even entertain the
idea that he did offer the National Guard and then
they did send it in.
Speaker 2: Look look here, just move right past it, Just move
right past it. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh is that right? Yeah? That would be news. That
would be news. To the Uh, I've never said anything
bad about Trump.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. You know, I've never heard you
say anything bad about it, Joe.
Speaker 1: Okay, now hang on. So here's a very good here's
a very good uh, another very good opportunity to learn,
which is just because you've never heard me say something
bad about Trump, doesn't mean I've not said something bad
about Donald.
Speaker 2: Trump say something bad right now?
Speaker 1: He has small he has He is very sensitive. Yeah,
he's very sensitive to people saying he has small hands.
I had so much fun with that.
Speaker 2: I'll say that he's a racist right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know he's a racist. You know, how do
I know that he way? Tony? How do I know that?
Speaker 2: How do I know that he's wanting to get rid
of all of the black achievements, one to take fun
from the Black Museum, the National Black Museum in Washington.
Speaker 1: He's taking funds from everybody.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, what's taking funds from museum?
Speaker 1: Hey, he's taking it from everybody, Tony, mainly not mainly, No,
not mainly minorities. No, mainly it's U, S A, I
D No, Tony.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm gonna let you. I'm gonna
let you have your day. I ask the Lord every
day to take him out of this world some kind
of way, might be something health wise, I wanting physical Oh.
Speaker 1: No, of course not no. Yeah, you're just wishing for
the I hope this world.
Speaker 2: And you know what, the Lord used to listen. He
always listened to me.
Speaker 1: So just just watch. So Tony, would you like, would you, Tony,
would you like to give the Secret Service your last
name so they'll have a little bit of an easier
time visiting you.
Speaker 2: The Lord can take it out.
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, Tony, right, I know what
you're saying. I know what you're saying. But the Secret
Service may want to pay you a visit.
Speaker 2: Well, it screw to take to serve, I said the
Lord to take him out for the health problem. I
just say, somebody, I say, not'm physically. I said, well,
a health problem. That's it's coming though.
Speaker 1: See this is why I say, Tony, I appreciate your call,
because this is why I say, I actually have this
topic in the pipeline for the next hour, which is
that the Left has a violence fetish and thank you
for giving me. Example number seventy six, perfect example of it.
You guys on the left, you better be very, very careful. Again.
I've been warning you for years, and you're getting real close,
real close. And there are a lot of people out
there that are like, oh yeah, I'm ready for it
and all this. You have no idea what happens when
society breaks down. You have no idea. I don't either,
but it's bad. It is very bad. And Tony would
like to see that happen because Donald Trump has broken
his brain. Donald Trump controls him. Anything Trump does or
says controls Tony's mood, his reactions, the way he thinks
about an issue. Facts do not matter. Reality does not matter.
Thank you for the prime example, Tony. All right, So

It did sound like Tony just advocated for the death
of the president. So again, if Secret Service is interested
in tracking down that phone call, I don't know how
we can help do that, but I'm happy to help
do that. Let me get I only have about thirty second, Chris,
but it's all yours.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, thank you, Boddy. Tony Tone Tone has done
it again. I'm telling you this dude's praying to the
print of Darkness.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 5: He's talking praying to the Lord to kill somebody with
a disease or something. It's just mind blowing, and I
guess it's part for the course because everywhere I look
and all over social media that the trend is I
can't believe Trump is calling in the National Guard, and
the narrative just flipped overnight from I can't believe Trump
didn't call the National Guard. That's all I've heard since
January sixth, and we all know he did, and Pelosi
blocked it said no, as well as the mayor up there,
So I yeah.
Speaker 1: It's the benefit of being a Democrat, Chris, is that
you get to shift to your position like that and
nobody holds you to account. I appreciate the call. I
got to run, all right. That'll do it for this episode.
