So watching the watching the coverage of what's been going
on in Los Angeles now for the last three days,
the media has behaved exactly as we have seen them behave.
They haven't used the term as far as I'm aware,
they have not used the term yet. Fiery but mostly peaceful.
But they want to point out to us repeatedly that
Los Angeles is a big place. They feel like this
is very important information. LA is a big place, and
there's the city of Los Angeles and the County of
Los Angeles, and so where some of the initial right sorry, demonstrations,
right where some of the insurrectionist activity was occurring was
not technically inside the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: It was in Compton.
Speaker 2: And well, where was the other place? It's it's in
the notes here. Forget the name of the other nearby town.
It's like four miles from downtown LA. So they're they're
they're pointing this out for some reason. I don't know why,
but they keep pointing this out, and they want to
let us know that not only is it a geographically
large place then uh, but that also there are a
lot of people in Los Angeles County. And they keep
telling me this as some sort of a I don't know,
a contextualization that most people aren't even aware of. This
is happening ninety nine point of Los Angeles are just
going about their normal days, oblivious to the insurrection activity
occurring in their county. It's like, you stop making this
such a big deal, which is always hilarious to me
when literally the people whose job it is to hype
all of this kind of stuff to the point where
everybody becomes aware of it. Right, but now we're supposed to,
I don't know what, have some measured viewing experience here,
just because we're covering this wall to wall and you know,
it's got fire, it's got mayhem, it's got uh uh,
you know, people looting, it's got brawls in the streets,
and you know, it's all Donald Trump's fault and all
of this. So it's like checking every single box except
for the sex part. Like maybe if we get some
skin antily clad black blockers out there, then that's an
anti foot term people, it's not a racial one. So
the yeah, maybe then we could get every one of
the media checkboxes checked. Do you ever wonder why they
have footage of apartment fires and house fires and stuff
on the news. It's because fire makes good video. That's it.
It makes good video. You can have an apartment fire
where nobody is injured, nothing happens, it's just a building
that caught fire. But it's going to get covered in
local news. Why because it's visually attractive. It makes people
go ooh, what's that. Media's job right is to stand
on the corner and scream about what's going on today,
extra extra, read all about it, right, And you can
do that. You can gain interest by making it you know,
if it bleeds, it leads, if it sects, it's next.
Also fear right, you can use fear to motivate people's
buying habits. So that's what media tends to traffic in fear.
But in the leftist violence, they recognize that this could
redound to the detriment of Democrats, and so we have
to tamp down this stuff. I mean, yes, we're covering it.
We're going wall to wall, We're showing all the burning cars,
all of the violence. We're going to show all of
this stuff, but we're going to constantly remind you that
while this part is fiery, it is mostly peaceful and
it's Donald Trump's fault. For example, this is this is
not AI, folks, This is literally the news anchors at
ABC seven, the Los Angeles local news affiliate explaining why
this is law enforcement, why it's.
Speaker 1: You know, it's the it's the.
Speaker 2: The militarization of the law enforcement. And they really were
the bad actors in all of this. You know, as
we are watching on the screen a car.
Speaker 3: Burning large group of people, it could turn very volatile
if you move law enforcement in there and the wrong
way and turn what is just a bunch of people
having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and
altercation between officers and demonstrators.
Speaker 2: Right now, we can't have that, Oh, dear lord, No, okay, fine,
We ordered some of the WAIM cars to come in.
These are the driverless robotic cars. They got a bunch
of them in LA and people ordered them, I guess
like it's like a taxi uber service or whatever, and
so they ordered them and they came to the site
of the protest and then they torched them. They lit
them on fire, which I'm not sure you're aware of
what happens when an electric vehicle burns. Do you have
any idea what the environmental ramifications that would be. Jim
Garretty at National Review weimo driverless vehicles run on lithium
ion batteries, According to the company, a battery involved in
a fire or exposed to high heat levels will release
toxic vapors, including sulfuric acid, oxides of carbon, nickel, lithium, copper,
and cobalt. He says, our Brave New World of driverless
Cars now provides malevolent actors with mobile toxic bombs on demand.
They set dumpsters and trash bins on fire, They looted stores.
Dozens of buildings were vandalized with graffiti, including LAPD headquarters,
the US Courthouse, and the old LA Time building. They
also broke the windows of the LAPD headquarters, which got
me thinking, maybe we could, I don't know, like hire
some people and train them to try to like respond
to the breaking of windows at police headquarters. I think
that people would be willing to pay taxes for this
kind of a protective service, you know. I mean, it
would take a lot of training, and then they would
have to confront some of the demonstrators that is part
of the gig, which then of course would escalate stuff
because it's because they're just demonstrating peacefully as they're breaking
all of the windows of the police headquarters and nobody
is around to stop them, Like maybe the police. I
know it's a brainbuster, people, I'm not sure how we're
going to get a hold of this. 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, a 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 breath taking fourteen thousand acres of the Pisga

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.
Speaker 1: Own private covered porch.
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 1: If all of.
Speaker 2: This looks familiar, it's because it should be. These are
the same tactics, the same actors, right, and the same
underlying cause, which is to tear down the institutions of
Western civilization to replace it with Marxism.
Speaker 1: That is the.
Speaker 2: Unifying intersectionality of all these different groups.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: So the issue is never the issue. This is just
what they're using right now. The issue is always the revolution.
That's always at the heart of all of these efforts.
Whether it's BLM, or it's the UH you know, the
celebration of the Hamas death cult, whatever, all of these
things are transferable to whatever the moment demands. The New
York Times ran a headline Trump calling the National Guard
is the real emergency. No, No, the emergency is the violence.
And I know this is difficult for people who have
been telling us that silence is violence, but also words
are violence. But apparently real violence is not actual violence.
So the real emergency is when people attack law enforcement
and they attack federal buildings, and that's what the National
Guard was brought in to do. I've seen the video
rioters that were launching fireworks explosives right at LAPD on horseback.
They're shooting m eights into horses, Like, that's the side
you're on, guys, that's the side you're on. And for
the media that was, you know, so intent on letting
me know that LA is so very big and so
many people, and you know, most of LA and the
people have no idea are not affected by any of
this going on. It's like, why not just focus on
all the cars that haven't been burned? Right, Pete, how
come you're not talking about all the cars that weren't burned.
What about the businesses that weren't looted? Ron DeSantis, governor Florida.
He shared a Wall Street Journal headline National Guard arrives
in Los Angeles in response to protests, and Desanta said, no,
they're being deployed to combat rioting, not mere protests. Typical
legacy media bias. Our governor of North Carolina signed a
letter with all twenty one other Democrat governors from around
the state, around the country rather and they're upset at
President Trump's move to deploy California's National Guard. Governor Newsom, Well,
this was a statement from Democratic governors on Donald Trump's
use of California's National Guard. This is an alarming abuse
of power. Governors are the commanders in chief of their
national Guard, and the federal government activating them in their
own borders without consulting or working with a state's governor
is ineffective and dangerous. Further, threatening to send the US
Marines into American neighborhoods undermines the mission of our service members,
erodes public trust, and shows the Trump administration does not
trust local law enforcement. Well, there's a reason for this,
I'll explain in a moment. It's important we respect the
executive authority of our country's governors to manage their national guards,
and we stand with Governor Newsom, who has made it
clear that violence is unacceptable and that local authorities should
be able to do their jobs without the chaos of
this federal interference and intimidation. Okay, so there is a
reason why.
Speaker 1: Their was.
Speaker 2: Why this deployment was necessary. Again, Jim Garrity at National Review,
This would have been on Saturday morning, the ICE Acting
director Todd lyons. He said that an angry crowd of
Los Angeles residents had assaulted federal agents and the Los
Angeles Police Department had an inexplicably delayed response as rioters
attacked federal ice and law enforcement officers on the La streets.
Mayor Bass took the side of chaos and lawlessness over
law enforcement. He said, our brave officers were vastly outnumbered
as over a thousand rioters surrounded and attacked a federal building.
It took over two hours for the LAPD to respond
despite being called multiple times. The brave men and women
of ICE were in Los Angeles arresting criminal, illegal aliens,
including gang members, drug traffickers, and those with a history
of assault, cruelty to children, domestic violence, and smuggling. That's
who they were there to arrest and deport. And you've
got Democrat officials and these leftist moonbats that are out
there trying to prevent the arrest of criminals. And then
when they call LAPD, LAPD takes two hours to get there. Well, Pete,
they were like way far away, you know, because Los
Angeles is so very big, right, Yeah. LAPD headquarters is
zero point three miles away from this location. So if
you cannot trust the local law enforcement officials to provide
security when you are being attacked by a mob of
a thousand rioters, then yeah, the president sends in the
national guard, which I think the president former presidents have
done before. I think Eisenhower did it in order to
desegregate schools. Right, use the national guard of a state
to enforce federal law. Because at the heart of all this,
I always remember, this is about federal law enforcement enforcing
federal law, and the states are trying to nullify that.
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, 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

then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports

So on this question of whether or not Donald Trump
has the authority to send the National Guard into California
to protect ICE agents and facilities and to restore order,
Section ten US Code two fifty two Use of militia
and armed forces to enforce federal authority whenever the President
considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against
the authority of the United States make it impractical to
enforce the laws of the United States in any state
by the ordinary core of judicial proceedings, he may call
into federal service such of the militia of any state,
and use such of the armed forces as he considers
necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
I read that as pretty clear he can do what
he did. Donald Trump put out a statement on his
Truth social platform over the weekend. A once great American city,
Los Angeles, has been invaded and occupied by illegal aliens
and criminals. Now violent insurrectionist mobs are swarming and attacking
our federal agents to try and stop our deportation operations.
So those would be the federal laws that they are
trying to follow and trying to enforce that are now
being prevented, and the locals are not stopping that prevention, right,
They're not preventing the prevention. So that would allow him
to send in armed forces, he says. I am directing
Secretary of Homeland Security Christy Nome, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth,
and Attorney General Pambondi, in coordination with all other relevant
departments and agencies, to take all such action necessary to
liberate Los Angeles from the migrant invasion and put an
end to these migrant riots. Order will be restored, the
illegals will be expelled, and Los Angeles will be set free.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thank you
for this.
Speaker 2: We wish you well in your future endeavors. And just
in case there was still a somewhat a lack of clarity,
here is the Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell.
Speaker 4: And then the National Guard was federalized, so they're working
for the US Army, not for the California State National Guard.
Speaker 1: Do we need them? Do we need them?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: Looking at tonight, you know this thing has gotten out
of control. What there I think Before I could answer that,
I'd have to know more about what their capabilities are,
what their role is intended to be to be able
to make that determination. But we have great cops in
Southern California here that work together all the time, So
we have tremendous capability here. To say that we would
go to that right away, I'd say we're not. We
wouldn't have been there yet. Looking at the violence tonight,
I think we've got to make a reassessment, a reassessments.
Speaker 3: How has your department interacted with the National Guarden.
Speaker 5: At all set in here.
Speaker 4: I'd say very little other than we had a conference
call this afternoon. There aren't a whole lot of soldiers
in place at this time.
Speaker 1: They're still incoming. Interesting, so they weren't even really there.
Speaker 2: Just simply the suggestion that troops are coming in to
secure ICE agents, ICE operations, and ICE facilities that are
being attacked. The mere suggestion of doing that before you
actually see them, that's enough to make leftists go even
more violently crazy. It's almost like you can't win. It's
almost like anything that you do is an excuse. And
it's not almost. By the way, this is actually the rule,
one of the tactics that they employ, the Saul Olensky
rules for radicals. The action is the reaction, that's the idea.
It's to purposefully put you or whoever their opponents are,
in an unwinnable situation. That's why they're bringing their kids
to these riots. And then the kid gets, you know,
tear gassed and I'm talking like two year old kids
in strollers getting tear gased because they're.
Speaker 1: In the mob.
Speaker 2: And then all the pictures and videos that get shared out, so, oh,
the poor children, How could they do this? What sort
of a monster. Does this sound familiar? It should, It's
the Hamas playbook. These are the same tactics.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. I mean, I got so much stuff here.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go back to Jim Garrity in the coming days,
he says, You're going to see an enormous effort by
the Democrats and large swaths of the media to declare
that if US Immigration and Customs enforcement had never tried
to enforce immigration law in Los Angeles, then the city
would not be beset by so much widespread violence and unrest.
Implicit in this argument is the idea that Los Angeles
City and County are so primed for violence, such a
powder keg of anarchic malcontents, that the US government must
simply throw up its hands and concede that it cannot
enforce immigration law there right, And that is in fact
what they have been saying, you cannot do ice raids here.
We shall not let you enforced federal law here. And
a couple of months ago, when I did the show
on the Fourth Turning, immigration was cited by the.
Speaker 1: Authors of the Fourth Turning this.
Speaker 2: Theory that everything moves in these turnings, there are four
of them, and they're pretty much like the seasons. They
last a generation, about twenty to twenty five years a piece,
and that's why you see the same cycles repeat themselves.
And the authors had made a series of predictions back
in I think it was like the nineties when they
wrote the book, and they all came true except for one.
And it's in the fourth turning, which they say the
sole living author. Two authors, one of them passed away,
but the one that's still alive Neil Howe I think
is his name, and he said that one of their
last predictions was that the issue of immigration would be
the flashpoint for the nullification crisis. And at the time
he said, hey, look what's happening when Biden was president
and Texas wanted to secure its border, and then the
Biden administration sued like, you can't put up the buoys
in the water, you can't do the razor wire, you
have to allow your border to be completely overrun. And
he saw that as the nullification. I think this is it.
I think this is it. I think these Democrat states
are going to try to nullify federal immigration law. They're
going to say we're we're not going to let you
do it.
Speaker 1: And then that.
Speaker 2: Creates the escalation effect that the federal government will then
have to respond because they can't let that go. The
states then come back at them, and it just ratchets
up until it ends in calamity, and then from the ashes,
the turnings reset. So that's what That's how I view
all of this.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 2: The left is pushing this and pushing this, and because
it's Trump, they get all this leeway with the media
right to cover for them to ignore certain things, to
minimize certain things. I don't know if the American public
is having it. We saw what happened five years ago,
we do we do not want to see that again.
And if you're going to say, like you can't enforce
federal law in my town, my city, my state, whatever,
and so that justifies attacking law enforcement with the stamp
of approval from the governor, like all bets are off man.
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So spring is here a time of renewal and celebrations.

with Ray. Hello, Ray, how are you today?
Speaker 5: I'm good. See how are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing all right.
Speaker 5: I think your take on the fourth Turning is pretty
much on target. But in the meantime, I think the
Gavin Newsom lawsuit will go to a friendly judge and
they'll shut Trump down and it'll have to LA will
continue to burn until it goes through a couple of appeals.
Is that sound about right?
Speaker 2: Deew Well, No, I mean if Gavin Newsom is right
and the only reason that leftists are engaging in all
of this violence is because Donald Trump sent the National
Guard after the violence had been occurring, then I guess
if the courts say that he can't use the National
Guard under his Article two power or Article one powers
rather then or sorry, no, Article two is the presidency,
then he can't. He can't have them there, and then
the violence would abate, right, The violence would have to
subside because he's not allowed to have the National Guard there.
So then there there wouldn't be any easing to get
all insurrection y because they're not there.
Speaker 5: You're right, I don't see why I didn't see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean sometimes it's it's like right in
front of us, you know, So it's a yeah, I
don't know that would be the leftist logic. It's a
good it's a good point, though, Like I suspect that
a judge is going to try to you know, stemy
the president on this front as well. And look, I
mean yeah, but I mean look on the other side,
the flip side of that is that it's building precedent
and case law. Right, So every time something like this
happens and then it goes up the you know, the
chain through the courts, and then you get the Supreme
Court coming in and saying no, you can't do this,
it's you know, it's it's putting up guard rails. It's
it's erecting these guardrails and firming them up. And so maybe,
you know, some of this stuff can be avoided in
the future.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to find the silver lining
on that.
Speaker 5: And then and then I think also that every time
they kind of things happen, it causes the left to
lose a few more voters on election day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not a winning issue for them.
Speaker 2: The immigration issue, it's not a winning issue for them.
Speaker 1: The violence issue, it's not a winning issue for them.
Speaker 2: Yet they cannot The problem is the Democrats cannot cast
out this violent faction that's part of their base. They
just cannot do it. Either some of them are okay
with the political violence, but they don't want to say so,
or they recognize that if they cast them out, then
they become a target and then they could be defeated
in primaries. They're not going to get to support the
votes of these people and they need them. So yeah,
it's a tough spot to be in, but it's of
their own making. Ray, I appreciate the call man, Yes, sir,
take care to wit. Here is Kamala Harris. Los Angeles
is my home and by the things that have been No,
she didn't say that part. She says, like so many Americans,
I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the
streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a
dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos, which is not actually
why you bring the National Guard in. You bring the
National Guard in to restore order, to provide security. I
know Democrats are loathed to do this because they don't
want their base to get pelted with rubber bullets. But
that's why you bring the National Guard in. And when
you have a governor that refuses to do it because
he doesn't want his base to be pelted with rubber bullets,
then the president says, I'm going to send them in
there because they're going to be there to protect federal
law enforcement operations. And if you don't like it, pound
sand all right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank
