and that means we talk with a pet Dylan, a
reporter for the North State Journal. You can also read
her substack newsletter called more to the Story ap. How
are you great, Pete?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: I am well, hope you had a good weekend and
I got a bunch of stuff. I saw you were
cranking out a lot of pieces, both on your substack
and at North State Journal. So let me start with
oh gosh, where to start. Let's start with the anti
Trump protests in North carol. I wonder if we took
all of the protests that we saw on Saturday all
around the state and we put them all in one place.
Do you think it would be as large as the
Momo Moo, the Moral Monday movement.
Speaker 2: Yes, probably one of their larger ones. I know that
there were dozens of protests across the state. The biggest
one was in Raleigh. There was another one in Durham,
and there was another one in Asheville, which should have
made more headlines than it did, featuring a tableau of
individuals dressed up like the MS thirteen gang members who
were deported to the Seacot prison in El Salvador, and
the white shorts and shirts and everything. And they've got
a banner in the background that has nineteen forty five
German concentration camp on one side and the twenty twenty
USA funded concentration camp on the right side, which is
the El Salvador in prison, so carrying violent MS certain
gang members being put back into prison in their country
of origin with Nazi concentration camps.
Speaker 1: Right, and they're both these these two old white dudes
are wearing face masks, white T shirts, white shorts, and
white socks, which I guess is the that's the prison
uniform of the El Salvador And sorry, you have to
call it the Notorious. It's always the notorious prison in
El Salvador. So yeah, they they do not. They do
not represent actually very well, the the makeup of the
people in the the seacot you know, they're yeah, they're
they have way too few tattoos, for example. That's one
of the things I see. Uh, they're they're very pudgy
and they're very old. So and one of them has
like he's not even bald. He didn't even shave his
head for the tableau. He's like he's got some silly
little fake bald cap on that. It's just I don't know,
like that's Ashville though, it's so performative. It's just it's
like theater kids that are now like seventy. It's just
kind of said.
Speaker 2: My teenage saw them actually called it cosplay.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely, yeah, it is cosplay. So all right,
so we had you mentioned that's the Ashville one with
that tableau, but also the same demographic seems to be
popping up. I saw photos from Huntersville where they had
some people, and by some I mean like twelve. I
think that we're standing on the side of a road,
also fitting a particular demographic profile. I saw there was
one down in rock Hill, South Carolina, just across the
border here, same demographic profile. I'm not the first one
to notice the kinds of people that are coming to
these rallies. You've noticed it too, right, I have.
Speaker 2: It seems to be an older set of individuals. The
women was cited as having brought children to it, young
children actually, but it seems to be an older set
of people. That could be partly due to who's organizing
these I know that the Durham Democrats have been big
in organizing their protests and they have an older set
of individuals in that group. And the Poor People's Campaign
has generally been older individuals too. If we go back
to Moral Monday, those protests definitely were you know, people
fifty five to sixty five and older.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the Poor People's Campaign for people who don't know,
that's that's Reverend Barber's operation, right, yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he started that almost a decade ago I think,
and that.
Speaker 1: Was after the Moral Monday movement if I recall correctly.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was he decided that that was that thing.
It served its purpose, It was a vehicle that had
served its purpose and he was moving on with this
national Poor People's Campaign, which of course has seen money
flow into it. And I have to confirm this, but
it looks like there were taxpayer funded dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh fantastic, what a shock. WRAL live streamed the Raleigh protest.
That was helpful of them, That was very nice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to see all the speakers, but they
didn't pan into the crowd at all. So the Poor
People's Campaign and actually posted one of the crowd photos
from about midway through. As of ten minutes before it,
they had posted a photo of an empty Halifax mall.
But afterwards it looks like, you know, there's probably two
or three hundred people there, not the thousands that the
media seems to be portraying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this you say was not of these protests
were not nearly as big as the one that was
held earlier this month either.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, definitely not as big as the April fifth one.
That one actually was pretty big. This particular protest. Also,
they told their folks who were coming not to bring
signs that had swastikas or Nazi symbolism on them. You know,
I don't know who needed to hear that, but uh,
we're told about to bring that kind of material.
Speaker 1: I did see some though, I did see some swastikas
that were out there. But yes, yeah, you've got the
protest signed guidelines that were issued by five oh five
oh one or fifty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fifty fifty one, fifty stage, fifty day, fifty protests one,
you know, one movement or whatever it's cod right, it
was terrible name launched on Reddit. It wasn't launched on Reddit,
it was it was it was platformed there, right, So.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you do know about this because I looked
into this as well this morning, because I've seen this
hashtag fifty to fifty one, and it's a terrible name
because when you say it, like as I say it,
it sounds like I'm saying two numbers, fifty and then
fifty one, but it's five oh five oh one, and
it's fifty protests, fifty states one movement. And they claim
that the Reddit originator uh is somebody who goes by
the name of evolved fung Guy Fun Fun fun guy, Yeah,
who has not responded to an interview to a Rolling Stone,
and in other posts he described himself as an engineer
by day with a degree in marketing and a fascination
with virality. And I'm thinking he means like stuff going
viral on the internet.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, that pretty much means to be some
campaign guy, right who does day who did data analytics
for a campaign. That's what that says to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it sounds an awful lot like the Occupy formation, right.
Speaker 2: Well, Occupy was a testing ground. We're saying all the
same chance, all the same signs, all the same complaints,
and no one are able to articulate any real reason
why they're there. But then you know that then we
saw Black Lives Matter, and we're seeing some of the
violent side of the Black Lives Matter, you know, protest
kind of things, you know, with the Nazi symbols and
you know that call for violence and that sort of
thing that we're starting to see coming out of left
leaning groups. And you know, Indivisible is involved, yep, with
these protests. The Democratic Party is involved with these protests.
These things are you know, they're trying to make it
seem like it's organic. Some random redditor did it. Now
I'm just not buying that.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not either, not at all, And I did,
like in their protests signed guidelines as you mentioned, you know,
no swastikas, limit the use of offensive or vulgar language,
don't not do it, just like limit it and consider
language suitable for children and families. So I'm guessing they're
gonna like read a bunch of the dirty books at
these events and they would be okay, Like if you
can find it on the bookshelf at at your kid's
kindergarten class, then you can read it at the protest,
Like what does count as suitable for children among these people?
I don't even know, some very good questions. Yeah, yeah,
where do you draw the line on that? Can I
show the gay porn sketches from the Yeah, from the
comic books. I don't know.
Speaker 2: There were a lot of signs there that had to
do with immigration too, which actually ties into the shutting
down of the Greensboro intake facility that DHS had leased
since June of twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've talked about this, my Grreantcholder.
Speaker 2: And not a single child was How was there right?
Speaker 1: So that to me, I was not aware of this.
So this was the former American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro.
You wrote about this at North State Journal NSJ online
dot com that was originally supposed to it is like
converted to this like ice facility or something, right, and
they were supposed to be housing all of these kids
and nobody they never put any kids in there. I thought.
We saw images and video of vehicles rolling up with people.
Speaker 2: That was the thing the entire time. Sorry DHS and
the Office of Refugee Settlement under DHS, they basically said
that no children had ever been housed there yet. About
a summer ago, I had someone who lived in the
neighborhood in that area send me a bunch of photos
of buses with blackened out windows heading in and out
of that facility. So who or what was on that
on those buses, I don't know. I've never gotten an
answer out of out of the federal agencies or of
Greensboro Academy. We actually went and visited that place a
year ago. We walked up to the gate and asked
if someone could come talk to us, and it was
staffed by contracted you know, security personnel who basically told
me and know on certain terms, no, no one's going
to come talk to you, and you need to get
off the property.
Speaker 1: They did get though, right, I mean the right that right,
You've got some contracts for that service deployed services.
Speaker 2: Deployed services. Yeah, there was a couple of million dollars
that went to them. There was six hundred thousand dollars
in handymanned services dated back to a September twenty twenty two,
various support and upkeep for leasing and repairs. And what's
interesting about that property is that the there was a
loan document on that original property when it was the
American Hebrew Academy, and the loan documentation ping pong back
and forth over the last two years between two Chinese
tied entities that have their counting in the Cayman Islands.
Speaker 1: That is not at all shady whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, two of them had directed their their documentation
was actually signed in the American embassy in Beijing, China,
and one of them had direct ties to the Communist Party.
And so I'm sure anyone's really looking into that anymore.
But it's I reported on it. We'll see where that goes.
That The overall lease itself is for millions of dollars, and.
Speaker 1: So it's supposedly just empty now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, supposedly it's just empty. They had used it after
Hurricane Helen. They had used it for a couple months
in order to do staging and hurricane relief operations. I
think it was from October to February, so October of
last year through February this year. And they announced recently
that it's closing down on April one, So it's closed
US now.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can sell it off to El Salvador. I
don't know rented out, knows.
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen with that, but I'm just watching it
all right.

at the North State Journal. We talked about this with
her in the past. In Greensboro, it's this sprawling campus
it's called the American Hebrew Academy. But they closed down
and then word got out that there were buses coming
in and what is being used for, you know, some
border patrol operations or whatever. And this was at the
height of the the Biden administration, you know, busing people
all over the country basically engaged in human trafficking, right,
And we started seeing buses with people getting you know,
let off of them in the dead of night, and
this became one of those same types of sites. FEMA
staff did use it for a bit after Hurricane Helene
ap reports that the original lease for the school, which
was renamed to the Greensboro Influx Care Facility or the ICF,
the lease for it was five years beginning June twenty
twenty two. The lease was entered into by the Biden
Administration's Department of Health and Human Services for just under
fifty million million dollars. More than two hundred forty one
million dollars was spent on leasing, repairs, security, and general
upkeep starting when the lease began in twenty twenty two
through its termination, So we spent a quarter of a
billion dollars in taxpayer money. It sounds like for this
facility that never housed any of the migrant children, because
this was supposed to be a more humane thing, right
than the kids engages. Right the Office of was it
Refugee Resettlement or THEERR or the or They claimed that
the site had remained unused for migrant children, but residents
living near the facility told the North State Journal that
charter buses with blacked out windows had been seen coming
and going from the facility during the twenty twenty three
year and you heard talk about that. And then to
go into the property transactions. This is very interesting. While
the former American Hebrew Academy property has not seen much
physical activity in the past three years, it has seen
transactions involving foreign actors. Property records showed twenty six million
dollars in loans related to the property had changed hands
between two companies with ties to the People's Republic of China.
Around fifteen million of an original twenty six million loan
assigned to Puchsin Limited or Pucksen, pux I N or
Pushin I guess it might be Pushin Limited. So fifteen
million of the twenty six million dollar loan was transferred
from Pushin to Meta Broad International Group and HEI Holdings.
Some of the transfer documents were actually signed at the
US Embassy in Beijing. This is all super shady, super shady.
It just it looks shady.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: It might not be right. It's possible it might not
be It's like it's like these fifty to fifty one
protests that we're seeing. CNN calls it fifty to fifty
one demonstrations condemning what they describe as Trump's executive overreach,
including deportations without due process, the dismantling of federal agencies,
and threats to higher education. By the way, am I
supposed to understand? This is the standard now that you
can violate any rule whatsoever to enter, but we cannot
remove you unless we run you through a trial. Is
that the idea? Like the people who come in legally,
they go through a process that takes them years, like
a decade or so, and they have to jump through
all the hoops, right, they got to constantly prove who
they are and what they're doing and everything else. And
you can break all those rules. You don't have to
follow any of that stuff. And then when you get here. No, no, no,
now you demand that we follow the rules that you
ignored to arrive here. That's the standard, So I get
to break all of the rules. Yeah, Like to me,
it's very simple. Who are you? We've identified you. You
are not in this country legally. That's very easy to determine, apparently,
and then we send you back. The issue arises when
you have people who are criminals from other countries and
those countries don't want to take them back while we
have no we have no diplomatic relations with that country
like Venezuela, and they refuse to allow our planes to
land there. They won't take their people back. What do
you do with them? Do we just have to leave
them out on the streets in America because they've committed
no crime in America? Right? What do you do with them?
What do you do with somebody who is to be
deported back to Venezuela. Venezuela won't take them and they've
committed no crime here? Did they just get to stay?
It seems like that's the standard that I'm being told
we have to now have, and I feel like, I
don't know, there should be some sort of a law
written about that before we just adopt that as the standard.
Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to

A New Yale Youth pole finds gen Z voters under
the age of twenty one lean conservative by twelve points.
I love gen Z now all right, No we but look,
this is one of the reasons why the Democrat Party
put David hag Guga into the vice president's chair in
their party. Right, David hog Giga, the guy who you know,
made a career for himself and got himself accepted into
Harvard even though his grades were lousy. But they took
him because he was an activist leftist. After his high
school was the scene of a shooting, right, the Marjorie
Stone in Douglas High School down in Parkland, Parkland, Florida, Right,
And so David Hogg became one of the three kids
from that school that started the what was the name
of that group, not the People's Choice, that's no, those
are words, But I forget what he is. What their
organization was called. It's still around, but you never see
the other two. One of the guys. There was a guy,
a girl, and Hog And I didn't mean it like that.
That's his name. Hog. I didn't mean it anyway. So
the guy he kind of disappeared. Oh, March for Our Lives.
That's the name of the organization, March for Our Lives.
And so the guy just kind of disappeared. And the
last thing I ever remember reading about him was that
he was trying to educate himself on guns because after
the shooting at the school, he you know, they launched this,
you know, March for Our Lives, you know, protect the schools,
save the kids' lives, all of this, and he started
getting a lot of challenges from Second Amendment rights advocates,
and he became very aware that he did not know
what he was talking about as it relates to firearms,
and so he went out to a shooting range. Somebody
took him to a shooting range and he I remember
him talking about it, or I read an interview with
him about it, and I remember coming away, I don't
remember what he said. I don't have the story in
front of me. This is just off the top of
my head from memory, which was that he had expressed
something that seemed an awful lot, like, huh, that was
kind of fun. I can see why people like doing this.
And then I never heard from him again. I don't
even know if he's still part of it. And the girl,
the last I heard, she was like, I'm not buying
area everybody, and they were like, oh, so brave. And
then I never heard from her again, and now it's
just hog So anyway, Democrats think that this guy, and
I think he's now probably late twenties, they think he's
gonna be the one that's gonna, I guess, like win
back the youth male vote. I mean, have you seen him.
He's very No. Yeah, a stiff breeze will knock this
kid over. Okay, he looks like a que tip. I
don't mean to I don't mean like it's just like
a because he's so skinny. He has like nobody fat
or muscle. He is skin and bones, and he's got
a very large head with a haircut that he can control.
He can control that haircut, and the haircut makes his
head look even bigger. So he looks kind of like
a q tip to me. I'm not trying to be mean,
I really am not. I'm just saying he just strikes
me like that. So anyway, he's also really annoying and
wrong about like everything. So this is a piece by
David Strom hotair dot Com. Annoying hero of the Democratic
left isn't on a mission to get Democrats elected. He
is determined to move a party that is already far
left of the country even more leftward, and that is
not sitting well, with a lot of Democrats who actually
want to win. This is so fantastic. Remember, don't call
it a civil war. Those only happen inside the Republican Party.
This is Democrats in disarray. Although I think, well though
the name of the piece at hot air dot Com
is the Democrats civil war rages on because it like
it is when I have said that we are witnessing
a realignment of the political parties. Right, it's not just
the Republicans. Republicans started on this path earlier than the
Democrats did. I think we are now seeing this is
the they are reaping what they have sown. And the
movement away of all of these demographic groups away from
the Democra Party is leaving sort of the old guard
that has the power, the more moderate Democrats, very few
of them remain right, and then these far leftists. Because
when I've talked about this before, this phenomenon happens in
all sorts of organizations where you have a bunch of
people that join, they're all united in a cause or whatever,
and then as people peel away. You saw this with
like the LGBT movement as well, where after gay marriage
was legalized, a lot of your more moderate centrist types
of people left the movement quote unquote, they didn't feel
the need to go and participate in the marches or
to speak at government meetings or make donations and such,
and so what you had left was the more radical
fringe elements in that organization, and that's what you're seeing
in the Democrat Party right now, and David Hogg being
elevated to vice chair is proof of that. Let me
get James on real quick. Hey, James, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey, mister Hogg one of our all time favorite pets.
He built his entire political career, although I understand his
father was a big time left winger, on the fact
that he survived the park when shooting but in the
school that day.
Speaker 1: Correct, he was not at the school at the time
of the shooting. He did arrive after with a video
camera and that's what made him famous.
Speaker 3: So his entire, his entire political career is based on a.
Speaker 1: Lie, it would seem. So I don't know if he
goes out there and says that he was there, he
like what I've heard him say are things that are
nebulous enough where he can claim, like he'll say, oh, yeah,
I was at the school that day, and that's technically true,
but he wasn't at the time of the shooting. But
he gives this illusion. He allows people to believe that,
you know, he witnessed the murders and such like. That's
the that's what he lets people believe. That's part of
his persona, his public persona, his origin story.
Speaker 3: And he knows almost as much about guns as my
one and a half year old house cat.
Speaker 1: Well, that is on brand. Yeah, James, I appreciate it, buddy,
Thank you. No, it's exactly right. So it's one of
the things that's always rubbed me wrong about David Hogg Ugh.
He has two g's on his name. That's why I
say it that way. 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.

by the left and the right. See for yourself check

Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it
also supports ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent. There's a group called Leaders We Deserve, a
political group which Hogg co founded. In twenty twenty three. Okay,
Leaders we Deserve announced plans to spend twenty million dollars
to assist in electing younger Democratic leaders, including primary challengers
to incumbent House Democrats. So to let's just chart this
out like we're going to do a little flow chart here. Okay,
David Hog for the Democrat Party vice chair. Okay, David
Hogg is the Democrat Party vice chair. He also co
founded a group leaders we deserve and that group is
going to primary members of the party that David Hogg
is the party vice Chairoff. As party vice chair, you're
supposed to be going around trying to get Democrats elected,
and I guess technically you would if you are trying
to primary a Democrat with another Democrat in a Democrat primary, right,
But this is not sitting very well with Democrats, particularly
the older generation Democrats who actually want to win elections.
And they're like, if you primary moderate Democrats or whatever
passes for moderate Democrat nowadays, you primary those guys and
gals with far left moonbats, you're going to lose the
general election. You're going to further marginalize our party. The
New York Times or sorry, No, this was from Politics
War Room podcast and The Raging Cajun James Carville. He
said that Hogg should resign from his post as the
DNC vice chair for targeting members of his own party.
He said, quote may many the site money that's a
little bit more like strom Thurman. I apologize that was
my first run at a Carville impression. He has a
lost chaplain of the Democratic National Committee. Well, anyway, and
he's talking about raising twenty million dollars to primary other Democrats. Well,
when I look at the DNC, ideally it should be
an organization that's trying to beat Republicans, not other Democrats.
When you're talking about using the power of the DNC,
whatever power it has, not very much, but you're using
that and we are paying the Democratic donors, are paying
David Hogg's salary, they are paying David Hogg's staff. And
he wants to run against Democrats. He says, oh, look,
run against who the bleep you want to, but resign
your position. Have guts, man, have guts, stand your ground.
I don't think that's part of the Democratic coalition. I
don't think they're redeemable. I don't think they want to
be redeemed. Carvell then repeated a prior suggestion that far
left individuals should just formally break away from the Democratic Party.
All look at Carville trying to re in and beg
for mercy from some leftists. That's adorable, dude. You know
they don't do that. Mercy is not one of the
things they do. Sorry, I just find this rich because
being on the right right seeing the way the leftists
behave towards the right and the quote moderate Democrats and
the Democrat Party and all that. They have ignored the
abuses of the leftists against people on the right because
it allowed the Democrats to achieve and detain and retain power.
But now now, well, you've been feeding that alligator hoping
it would eat you last. The leftward lurch of the
Democrats has a long history, writes David Strom, and what
is happening now is a recapitulation of what happened in
the sixties and seventies, a move that put them in
the political wilderness. It spawned the Demococratic Leadership Council, which
gave us Bill Clinton and a partial Democratic Party revival.
But such a revival will be much more difficult this time,
given that the working class base of the party has
shifted right word, the working class base of the party.
Do they go back? Are they going back because they
voted for Trump because the Democrat Party wasn't left wing enough? No,
of course not. The current base of the party now
is really far left, and Hogg is proof of that.
The DNC, you'll recall, had to rig the nomination process
to install Hillary Clinton, and then they did the same
in twenty twenty to install Joe Biden, hoping he would
be a moderate president. But he wasn't or his handlers
weren't right. President Auto Pen wasn't right. He lurched far
left on social and economic issues and was only tempered
by the greed and corruption of the Democrat oligarch class.
Kamala Harris's loss has crippled even that wing of the party,
now giving power to the awfuls, the affluent white female
liberals and the Democrat brown shirts who embrace socialism, political
violence and who might find AOC a bit too moderate
for their tastes. Liberals are frothing in furious rage, and
not only at Republicans. A record number have lost faith
in the Democratic Party. Its favorability has never been this bad.
Liberals are begging, pleading for new leaders and a new direction.
They want to go further left, They want to go
to war Hog. David Strom says Hog is not the
cause of this shift. He's a symptom basically right. Bernie
Sanders not the cause. Barack Obama was the most effective
of the bunch and did further the cause, but he
at least presented himself as a center left, acceptable Democrat
who incrementally pushed the party leftward. Wasn't really a hardcore revolutionary,
didn't speak the language of the revolutionary like AOC screeches
from the podium after getting off of her first class
plane ride. The consultant class and the oligarchs are now
panicking seeing the face of the party becoming the aocs
instead of the leftist but boring Pete Bootages. Bootages may
be in the lead right now for the presidential nomination,
but that's only because the leftists are split. He's not
that far ahead of AOC. And as people drop out
of the Democrat primary running right these and it's way early,
I know, but people are already starting to, you know,
make their moves. And once the you know, people make
their moves, they announce their candidacies, and then they drop
out because they're not getting enough support. Then the far
left will coal less around somebody more like AOC than
Pete Budajuj. All the energy is on the side of
the leftists who think political assassinations of Trump or Musk
would be justified. And that's not hyperbole. Fifty five percent
of liberals told Rutgers University that this would be fine
with them. The assassinations of Trump and Musk fifty five
percent of liberals. They applaud riots, They worship Luigi Mangioni
and Carmelo Anthony, right murderers, assassins. Look at the way
they're handling this, you know, MS thirteen guy. Democrats who
want to win are desperate to move to the center,
but the Democrat base wants hog. That's the problem for
the Democrats now.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm not here to advise them on how to win,
because I would prefer they don't. I don't want them
to win. And so to that extent, the further to
the left the Democrats go as a party, I think,
the better it is for the rest of the country,
because they become so unattractive that now nobody will vote
for them. But I don't know what's going to happen
with the Republican Party either. Who knows? And Strom says
James carvill is a jerk and not exactly in touch
with twenty twenties America, But on this he is right.
The Democrats are imploding in the civil war will rage
on for quite a while. All Right, that'll do it
