Last hour, we talked about leftist violence, how 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,920 it is escalating, and how the Democrats and the liberals 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,719 inside the Democrat Party are unable and unwilling to simply 12 00:00:42,799 --> 00:00:47,000 call it out for what it is, to say it 13 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:51,119 is unacceptable, and to end their statement at that. They 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,039 cannot do it. I believe it is indicative of an 15 00:00:56,159 --> 00:01:01,439 underlying belief that actually violence is okay when we do it. 16 00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:08,040 Sometimes it's the language of the oppressed or something. Remember 17 00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,280 like we all saw what happened in Trump's first term, 18 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,680 whether there was the BLM riots or it was the 19 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:19,120 vandalism and the attacks and the fire bombings of cars 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,680 in DC at the inauguration. It started immediately right. The 21 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:28,719 left cannot handle being out of control. This is a symptom. 22 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:35,159 It's a symptom of something else larger in the society. 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,920 Here's another example of it. Played in the last hour, 24 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:47,200 a clip of Charlie Cook, National Review writer and Meghan 25 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,200 Kelly played a clip from former vice presidential candidate Tim 26 00:01:52,239 --> 00:02:00,959 Walls appearing on the podcast hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. 27 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,959 Speaker 2: You got to respect people you disagree with, even you 28 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,159 can't just dismiss that's Gavin Well this most of their 29 00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:12,080 ass I do that. 30 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,719 Speaker 1: I know if you wrong, but. 31 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if we're going to fall into that 32 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,360 place where we want to Okay, we challenge you to 33 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,759 a do you know, a wwe fight here type of thing. 34 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,039 Speaker 2: It is, it's a natural reaction. I think it's one 35 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,039 of the reasons we're losing so many men. And again 36 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,560 it's multi ethnic. It's not just white men we're losing them. 37 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000 We're losing them to these guys online. That's why these 38 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:36,879 are bad guys though. These are the guys. But they exist, 39 00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:39,639 and we could deny the exist. They exist. Not only 40 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,039 they exist, they persist, and they're actually influencing young kids 41 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:43,919 every single way. 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: Some of those guys back under a Rock. 43 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: I think we have to first understand what their motivations are. 44 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,159 I think we have to understand what they're actually doing. 45 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think that's a racism and misogyny. Okay. 46 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:59,120 So that's Tim Walls, the standard bearer, the vice president 47 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,039 of candidate, the guy who supposed to be the avatar 48 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:04,879 for masculinity, for what a real man was. He was 49 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,759 gonna win over men in rural areas. Remember that was 50 00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:11,360 the whole thing, and then they launched this whole thing 51 00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:13,919 like oh jd Vance is weird and everybody's like, wait, 52 00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:18,439 you're weird. So that's Tim Walls. Notice what he says 53 00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:23,240 at the very beginning there. He talks about there because 54 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,080 Newsom is trying to get him to discuss why the 55 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,800 Democrats are not doing well with men, and they're not. 56 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:38,599 They've lost across all the demographic cohorts for men. They're 57 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:42,560 losing more and more male support. And Newsom is at 58 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:45,840 least trying to figure out, what do we need to 59 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,199 do differently to try to win some of these dudes back? 60 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,000 And Tim Wall says I could probably kick their butts. 61 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:57,919 He didn't say butts, right, Wouldn't that be toxic masculinity. 62 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,680 Here's Charlie Cook's response. I thought he brilliantly gutted Waltz 63 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,479 in his schizophrenic rhetoric. Here. 64 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, it will never cease to be weird that having 65 00:04:07,639 --> 00:04:11,080 put together a ticket that consisted of Kamala Harris and 66 00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,879 Tim Walls, the Democrats went on a two week offensive 67 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,040 where they described verbatim jd Vance as being weird. Tim 68 00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,120 Walls is one of the most weird people I've ever 69 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,360 seen in politics. I've lived in two countries, I've spent 70 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,160 some time in a third, France, which is well known 71 00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,079 for having strange politicians, and Tim Walls may well take 72 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,199 the cake. He also can't decide there, which I think 73 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,120 is genuinely interesting whether or not he wishes to condemn 74 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,639 what he sees as toxic masculine men or emulate them. 75 00:04:47,319 --> 00:04:50,120 It's an odd thing to do to say we need 76 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,839 to put them under the rock. They're bad people. Those 77 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:56,600 sort of men have no place effectively in our politics. 78 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,360 But to start the segment saying I'm going to kick 79 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:02,160 their ass, because the vast majority of the people he's 80 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:02,959 talking about. 81 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,199 Speaker 1: Would not say that. Now, if you threaten. 82 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,759 Speaker 4: Their girlfriend, they'll tell you. They'll kick your ass. But 83 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,959 they wouldn't start with that, it wouldn't be the opening gambit. 84 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240 So he seems somewhat confused as to whether he wants 85 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,240 to eradicate them or to become them. 86 00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:22,399 Speaker 1: Right, this is the problem the Democrats have. They want 87 00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:27,399 to talk tough, but they are also condemning the very 88 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,199 thing that they are themselves doing. 89 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 3: Right. 90 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Later on in that podcast with Newsom and Walls, Newsom 91 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,680 said that the Democrats have to work on not conflating 92 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,279 masculinity with toxicity. They're not the same things, and Walls 93 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,759 replies to him, I think I scare them a little 94 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:54,240 bit because I can fix a truck. Once again, this 95 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:59,879 is like he's he's trying to intimidate or to flex 96 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,920 at conservative dudes or something. I can beat you up, 97 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480 I can fix your truck. I can fix my truck. 98 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,920 And that's what that's what they're really scared of. Right, 99 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:14,040 So he's a tough guy, but also tough guys suck, right, Like, dude, 100 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,600 make up your mind here, okay, make up your mind. 101 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,800 This is the same double standard applied with the violence. 102 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,600 It's the same thing comes from the same place. Let 103 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:26,199 me go over to the phones and get a couple 104 00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,319 of calls on before the break, We go to Ed first. Hello, Ed, 105 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:30,360 welcome to the program. 106 00:06:31,079 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: Yeah today, Hey, I'm good. 107 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: What's going on? 108 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: Thank you? All right? Thank you? You will be response 109 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,040 to you about Elon Musk and the violence that haspening 110 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,839 me cancer the vehicles. Yeah, and you talked about where 111 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,160 people are not happy for this division, they resort to violence, 112 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,319 and that's just American as we know. First of all, 113 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,279 Elon Musk is not an elected officiate. 114 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,639 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Excuse me, that doesn't matter. 115 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,639 Speaker 3: I'm talking about decisions on American policy. 116 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. 117 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:03,759 Speaker 3: Okay. 118 00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: No, so, Ed, is it or is it not acceptable 119 00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,000 to fire bomb car dealership? 120 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:15,199 Speaker 3: Right? It's totally wrong. Okay, Okay. The next thing is 121 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:20,040 the ku Klux Klan, one of the most violent in 122 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,279 America that still exists. And I don't hear anybody say 123 00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:25,560 anything about their violence. 124 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Do you need me to tell you that 125 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920 the clan sucks too? I'm happy to tell you that. 126 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,279 Speaker 3: Okay, Please, I need to hear you say that. 127 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, just did I know it is a difference. Hang 128 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,360 on there, it is a default position among I would 129 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,079 submit probably north of ninety percent, probably ninety nine percent 130 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480 of Americans that the Klan is terrible, that nobody wants 131 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,199 to be a part of the plan. That's a default position. 132 00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:53,519 That is not a default position on political violence. 133 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: Though. So when the Klan did their violence against people, 134 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,759 because the decision was made at their weren't happy with, 135 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,199 I didn't see an outrage going against them. They still existed. 136 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,079 Speaker 1: To me talking about why do you you know the 137 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:12,360 Notre Dame basket of the school, the Notre Dame College, 138 00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:16,839 right they they're called the fighting Irish, right you know why? 139 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,959 Speaker 3: I have no idea? 140 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:22,519 Speaker 1: Okay, because the Irish took up arms against the Klan 141 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,319 when they showed up in their town. Okay, So the 142 00:08:26,399 --> 00:08:29,120 idea that the Klan was never pushed back on is 143 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:30,319 not true. They were. 144 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: And that's great, and I'm glad I just learned something new, Toy. 145 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,480 But I'm talking about gentlemen like yourself talk radio in 146 00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:44,159 our American government not pushed back against an organization that's 147 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,840 been around for years and continues to be around for 148 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,879 years that was violent violin based I. 149 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: What do you want? What do you want people like 150 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,600 me and people in the government, what do you want 151 00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:56,240 them to say? Specifically? 152 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,519 Speaker 3: Well, we got. We first have to understand that a 153 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,320 country is violent. So we don't like a decision, what 154 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,600 do we do? We resort to violence. That's America. So 155 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,120 it's only going to happen that people are going to 156 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,039 start doing it against our government because they're not happy 157 00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:13,279 with a decision. And what's happening in Elon Musk and 158 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Tesla is totally wrong. When you mentioned I'm sorry. 159 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: But but yeah, what's the butt Also when you do 160 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,600 violence against our capital and then it is see this 161 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,440 is my problem, ed, This is the problem is that 162 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,840 you can't just say that the violence is unacceptable, end 163 00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:39,480 of sentence. You're trying to conflate it and equate it 164 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,759 and play this what about January sixth game? And it 165 00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:45,639 doesn't matter because I have said it. No, because I 166 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,960 have said it. I have said that about the January 167 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,480 sixth riot from the get go, from the day it happened. 168 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,240 So what exactly do you want? What is it you're 169 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,879 demanding in order to just simply say call out the 170 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,399 lefties for attacking the dealerships and that's it, and then 171 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,120 we just agree that that's it, that's unacceptable. Why why 172 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,120 do you have the need to then try to ask 173 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:09,559 me about the Klan, asked me about Jay six, asking 174 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,080 me about these other things. You're trying to deflect away 175 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,840 from this thing because it sounds like. 176 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,279 Speaker 3: Said again, what they're doing with Tesler is wrong. That's violence. 177 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:23,360 But that's what we know that I reread than us 178 00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:24,919 when we're not happy with a decision. 179 00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: That's not true. That's not true. No, that's not true. 180 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: I just gave you to examples. 181 00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,799 Speaker 1: Of January sixth. So, okay, so you said anytime we 182 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,600 don't like something the government does. 183 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,879 Speaker 3: It's not any time. Okay, Well, that's what you say, 184 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,639 and we know that sometime we roll with it and 185 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,600 sometime we don't. 186 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: America, so the pro yes and the vast majority of 187 00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,840 the time the people roll with it. You know how 188 00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:55,679 long pro life activists wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. Fifty 189 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,759 something years. They protested that fifty years, and they worked 190 00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,080 their way through the courts in order to get it done. 191 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,919 That's so. So it's not always yes. 192 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: It does. Some some things do take a long time. 193 00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:15,399 Speaker 1: About all the riots after Obamacare, any riots after Obamacare 194 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,320 got pushed down on us? No, No, there were no. 195 00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,519 There were tea party protests, there were demonstrations. There were 196 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:25,720 no riots, there was no violence. People didn't fire bomb 197 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,360 the you know, the Department of Health and Human Services. 198 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:30,240 People didn't do that. 199 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: Well, they fire bombs a lot of bushing clinics and 200 00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:35,039 things of that nature. 201 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric Robert Rual did. 202 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, also right, you have a lot of violence 203 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,519 that goes on in America. We can't pick and choose 204 00:11:43,799 --> 00:11:46,440 where we're not happy about a party that doesn't get 205 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,360 their way. They decision. 206 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: I agree, that's and that's what I've been saying, is 207 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,519 you don't get to commit the political violence. 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,399 Speaker 3: Okay. 209 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,159 Speaker 1: The difference is the difference is is that when it 210 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,679 happens with J six, we get all of the people 211 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,519 on the left coming forward and you know, round them 212 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,919 all up through everybody in jail. They're all guilty. Right. 213 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:08,120 There's this mass push through the institutions, through the media 214 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,200 to tell us that this is wrong and that's it, 215 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:14,399 and they demand that we disavowed. They demand that we say, 216 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,320 just as you just did to me, that I am 217 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,120 on your side. And with this, with this, we get 218 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:23,720 jokes and we get people up there excusing it. Well, 219 00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:26,840 you know, people are upset about these decisions. I don't 220 00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:29,440 care if you're upset about the decision, that doesn't matter 221 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,960 to me, because it doesn't because it didn't matter to 222 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,320 me on any of the other decisions that it went 223 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,240 the opposite way. You don't have people bombing courthouses right 224 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,879 now because of all of the temporary restraining orders that 225 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,799 are being issued against the Trump administration. You don't see 226 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,639 violence up there right exactly, right, So let ith yeah, no, 227 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:49,360 go ahead, go ahead. 228 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,159 Speaker 3: No. I was just saying that in America we have 229 00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:58,159 Republican and Democrats, all right, we just have to stop 230 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,039 and then make when something is wrong for the parties, 231 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,840 and that's what's corrupting our American government that Democrats can 232 00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:10,159 admit when something is wrong and Republicans will not admit 233 00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:14,720 when something is wrong, like pardoning January sixth people that 234 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,639 did things against our law enforcement people. 235 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 5: That's wrong. 236 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't agree with the parties for the violent offenders. 237 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,759 Speaker 3: Exactly, but again, totally wrong. But we have to admit 238 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,960 that Republicans won't admit it that it was wrong. That 239 00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:32,840 was wrong, Bill and violence when they start fire bombing 240 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,039 and burning cars, that is wrong. The protests, the peaceful protests, 241 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,879 because what happened to the individuals by the police are good. 242 00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:47,240 But once you invoke violence, burning this and looting and 243 00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:50,159 all that, we have to say it is wrong. In 244 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,200 our American government, we would sit up there and make 245 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,960 excuses and give it a million reasons why something is wrong. 246 00:13:58,039 --> 00:13:59,600 But we're going to keep telling. 247 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: You how right, all right, and I gotta run. I 248 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,759 appreciate the call. 249 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:06,519 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, man'na keep listening. 250 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, No, it's fair. I agree 251 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,799 with you that all of the violence, all political violence, 252 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,600 is to be shunned. I completely agree, is to be disavowed. 253 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,559 All right. So spring is here a time of renewal 254 00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:23,159 and celebrations.

America is the most violent country in the world. 281 00:15:45,679 --> 00:15:50,120 I mean, that's how America gains its power is through violence. Okay, 282 00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:52,720 So why would you think that it would be such 283 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,279 a I guess, a out of character thing for that 284 00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:00,000 to be taking place within these boundaries, within these borders. 285 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:02,679 Speaker 1: Did I say that it's out of character at any point? 286 00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:03,879 Speaker 4: Well? 287 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 5: That's the way you described it. 288 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:07,919 Speaker 1: No, I said, no, I said it should be No, 289 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:12,000 I said, I said people should not accept Brian, Brian, 290 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,559 I said people should not accept political violence. 291 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 5: People shouldn't accept political viole. How do you think America 292 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,159 got his power? 293 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: Should we accept political violence? 294 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 5: Brian, Yes, we should. 295 00:16:24,559 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: There you go.

A couple more messages 326 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,160 from Russ, who says, if Gavin Newsom is trying to 327 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,359 position himself as a reasonable option for a presidential run, 328 00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:17,000 he really needs to stop having fellow Democrats like Tim 329 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:21,519 Waltz on who can't hold back the crazy. I don't know. 330 00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:23,920 Maybe he looks better by comparison, Maybe that's the play, 331 00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,000 or maybe he just wants to be a podcaster after 332 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:29,480 he's done being governor. I don't know. Jeff says, I 333 00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:31,799 wonder how all of these fools would feel if all 334 00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:35,839 of us with the guns acted the same way towards them. Yeah. Now, 335 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,160 so again, this is the rise in the political violence 336 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,440 we are seeing is a symptom. It's a symptom of 337 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,960 a larger phenomenon. I'm gonna explain this or the theory 338 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:55,720 behind this, but first New York Times they send out 339 00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:01,519 their morning updates or whatever. And in Wisconsin, where Democrats 340 00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:05,359 have turned Elon Musk, the billionaire, into the main villain 341 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:11,240 in a high stakes Supreme Court race, turns out it 342 00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:14,440 sounds a little crude. Governor Tim Wall's Democrat of Minnesota 343 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,160 was an uh claire for a town I think that's 344 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,440 how they pronounced that, for a town hall style event 345 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,000 intended to rive up Democrats about the race, which could 346 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,200 determine the ideological balance of the state's top court. Groups 347 00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,759 backed by Musk have poured millions of dollars into the 348 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:35,519 race on behalf of the conservative candidate Brad Schimmel. Democrats 349 00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:39,319 are now framing the contest as the people versus Musk, 350 00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:45,000 see because he's a criminal, get it. Wolves began is 351 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,079 on stage appearance by saying that name calling does not work, 352 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:53,039 and then he called Musk a dipstick, but he didn't 353 00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:57,880 say stick, because that's how you appeal to the rural voters, Right, 354 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,119 that's what the Democrat party chair in North care Or 355 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,039 Alina says, or seems to think she's gonna win back 356 00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:07,559 all those all those rural Republican voters y'all by saying 357 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:13,079 y'all and cussin. Right, That's that's the strategy. Apparently, don't 358 00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:14,880 blame me for the strategy if you think it's a 359 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,920 terrible strategy. Later on, he called Elon Musk an unelected 360 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,960 South African nepo baby, which is a nepotism baby. So 361 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,920 in other words, he didn't make any of the money himself. 362 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,000 He didn't earn it himself, which is that's like so 363 00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:37,240 divorced from reality. But and the crowd roared in approval 364 00:20:37,319 --> 00:20:41,039 when it called him an unelected South African because Musk 365 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,880 was in fact born in South Africa. But he has 366 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,759 been a US citizen for more than two decades, so 367 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:54,680 he's an immigrant. So now we're gonna what send everybody back, 368 00:20:54,839 --> 00:21:03,880 all the immigrants back or something. Representative Idea Vallesquez of 369 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,480 New York said Musk should quote go back to South Africa, 370 00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:11,319 and then at a different protest, representative Don Bayer of 371 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,279 Virginia said, We're gonna send Elon back to South Africa. Okay, 372 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,400 So let me get this straight. We're gonna deport Elon Musk, 373 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,359 but not Trendy Arragua. Okay. That's how that's the position 374 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,440 the Democrats are taking here. Also, this immigration stuff, it 375 00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:30,359 ties into the phenomena that I just mentioned that we're 376 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,039 also with the rise of political violence. They go hand 377 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:38,000 in hand, and I will explain this in the third hour. 378 00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:41,079 I will explain it, but I'm laying the foundation here. 379 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,559 This from ICE, the office out of Atlanta, which has 380 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,079 jurisdictional control over the Charlotte area. We are in the 381 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,480 Atlanta region. They put out a press statement saying that 382 00:21:55,599 --> 00:22:00,799 ICE apprehended twenty four legal aliens in Charlotte during an 383 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,160 enhanced targeted enforcement operation. This operation ran from March first 384 00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:11,480 through March eighth, So for one week they made twenty 385 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,640 four arrests. The people they picked up had the following 386 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,640 charges thirteen aggravated felonies or other violent offenses, three illegal 387 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,119 firearms or weapons offenses, two were MS, thirteen gang member affiliates, 388 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,039 one for assault on a federal officer, five for property crimes, 389 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:37,960 and eleven on DWI charges. Of these criminal aliens, the 390 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,200 twenty four that were picked up, six of them had 391 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,519 active immigration detainers, which the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office, under 392 00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:52,640 the leadership of Gary not my fault McFadden, refused to honor. 393 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720 So six of these people were back out on the 394 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:01,200 streets because our sheriff refused used to give a heads 395 00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:05,240 up to ICE when they had them in the jail 396 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,519 and they were about to be let go. The detainer 397 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:14,240 requests specifically, I've gone over this many times. The detainer 398 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:20,799 request specifically asks for a call to ICE from the 399 00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:25,759 sheriff within forty eight hours of an impending release of 400 00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,160 an illegal alien that had the detainer request on them. 401 00:23:29,519 --> 00:23:32,720 And McFadden does not believe he needs to follow this law. 402 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 5: This is. 403 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,519 Speaker 1: This ignoring of the law. This is essentially a nullification play. 404 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,000 That's what he's doing. Nullification that's going to become important 405 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,319 in the third hour. Nullification. It's one of the key aspects. 406 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,799 Also along with the political violence increasing the idea of nullification. 407 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:03,319 ICE has been unable to locate eighteen additional targeted aliens 408 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,559 who are still at large, who also had detainers that 409 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,640 were not honored. So because of the nullification practices of 410 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:16,519 our sheriff Gary not my fault, McFadden. Not only do 411 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:20,720 we see the state legislature looking to close a loophole 412 00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,799 that he is exploiting in order to advance his nullification policy, 413 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,039 which I still think we should call it Gary's law, 414 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,480 we also have eighteen people that had detainers on them 415 00:24:34,799 --> 00:24:37,000 that were released back out onto the street, and God 416 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:41,759 only knows what charges those guys had. They remain at large. 417 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,319 They pose a potential danger to the community. ICE says 418 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,480 these aliens could have been safely and deficiently transferred into 419 00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:54,160 ICE custody if their detainers had been honored. Right, because 420 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,079 it occurs at the jail. You already have the person 421 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,440 in custody, you've got them in handcuffs, and you could 422 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,799 just have them, you know, do the paperwork. And you 423 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,039 just transfer them right over and send them to a 424 00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:10,480 different facility. But because our sheriff refuses to honor the 425 00:25:10,559 --> 00:25:16,160 detainers and refuses to cooperate with ICE by telling them, hey, 426 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,680 we're about to let this guy out come get him. 427 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,400 He posted bail, he's leaving in forty eight hours. And 428 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,759 because our sheriff refuses to do that, because he doesn't believe, 429 00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:29,279 according to his own statement that he put out. His 430 00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:33,759 own press shop put out a statement saying deportation is 431 00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:39,599 not the solution. He disagrees with deportation, and that's why 432 00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:43,559 we are where we are. And then there's this bit 433 00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:48,000 of news Charlotte Ledger reporting armed security is coming to 434 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,640 Uptown Parks. Armed security.

All right, let me get to the phones 456 00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:00,440 here real quick and speak with Bruce. 457 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 6: Hello, Bruce, hey p, thanks for taking the call. 458 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 5: Sure. 459 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 6: I agree with most everything you say. I just have 460 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,920 one exception today with I don't like the comparison of 461 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:17,240 J six defenders being in the same basket as those 462 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,880 people who are burning tailts of cars and burning down 463 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000 charging stations and committing the acts of violence they do. 464 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,519 I believe most of the J six defenders, most of 465 00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:30,920 them did not commit any act of. 466 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,839 Speaker 1: Violence, right, I didn't lump them all together. Okay, No, 467 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920 I specifically said the violent offenders on J six, the 468 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,720 J six okay, yeah, the violence anybody. Yeah, yeah, because 469 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680 there are people that walked in and did nothing. There 470 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,599 are people that that did absolutely no violence whatsoever. They 471 00:27:49,599 --> 00:27:52,000 were invited into the capitol. I agree. But then there 472 00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,319 are people that you know, picked up weapons and bashed 473 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,480 the heads of capitol police, like that's not acceptable. 474 00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:04,759 Speaker 6: Yes, and I agree, but I also I'm also concerned. 475 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,279 It's a very complicated issue. But there were a lot 476 00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:14,200 of FBI assets in that crowd, MAGA supporters, and I 477 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,240 would like to get to the bottom of the people 478 00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:23,319 who did commit acts of violence. Were they actually organically 479 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,160 involved people who were there to protest, or were they 480 00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:29,920 FBI assets that were put in there to agitate the crowd. 481 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure there were both. I'm sure there are both. Yeah. 482 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,440 I mean there were so many people, right, I mean 483 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,519 how many arrests and charge people charged were there? I 484 00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:39,279 mean it was over a thousand, right, There were so 485 00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:41,759 many people. Now, and so that's why I don't have 486 00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:45,960 any problem doing the pardons for the non violent J sixers, 487 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,039 no problem whatsoever. That's I think completely appropriate because of 488 00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,480 the very reason now, the ones who were charged and 489 00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:56,640 convicted on the violent ones, I would have preferred that 490 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,359 the White House go through those cases individually. That's what 491 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,039 I would have with you. 492 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,799 Speaker 6: I agree with you on that, But but I don't 493 00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:07,480 think it's a mal equivalent. 494 00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: No, I I no. I mean I think if somebody 495 00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,079 is going up and you know, breaking through the window 496 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640 of the Capitol building in order to go in and 497 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,640 commit vandalism, I think that is very on par with 498 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,759 people busting out windows and keying up Tesla's. 499 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,799 Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, I would agree with you. Yeah, I'm just 500 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,440 meant in the general scene. 501 00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, it's just like you know, people who 502 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,720 go out and stand in front of a Tesla dealership 503 00:29:35,759 --> 00:29:39,240 and and chant and protest and march around. That would 504 00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:42,039 be the equivalent of the people the non violent people 505 00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:45,119 at J six in my opinion, right right, And that's fine. 506 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,160 You can demonstrate. And a lot of the people that 507 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,440 were walked that walked into the Capitol, they were they 508 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,160 were waved in by Capitol police, so they had no 509 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,680 idea what they were doing was it was illegal, so 510 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,359 they shouldn't have been charged with anything. So that's what 511 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,920 I mean They're like, there's a conflation going on with 512 00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,440 all of the violent defenders and all of the non 513 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:06,599 violent offenders on J six. That's not appropriate in my mind. 514 00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:09,359 Speaker 6: Well, Pete, I appreciate you, sir for me. 515 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, man, absolutely, yes, sir, I appreciate the call. 516 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 3: Bers. 517 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:14,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is the problem. I remember when I 518 00:30:14,839 --> 00:30:17,559 first started hosting, the left would always talk about, oh, 519 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,279 you know, you were right wingers are always about black 520 00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:23,640 and white, never shades of gray and all this. But I, 521 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,000 in fact do explore the shades of gray right, all 522 00:30:28,039 --> 00:30:29,920 fifty of them from what I understand there. I think 523 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,880 there are fifty. That there was a book or something 524 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,039 about it. I have not read it, but that's my understanding. 525 00:30:35,079 --> 00:30:39,400 So I explore the nuance because, like, these issues are complex. 526 00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:44,119 Not everybody that was at the Capitol engaged in bad behavior, 527 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,599 but I don't think the ones that did engage in 528 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,079 the bad behavior, however many that was two, three dozen, whatever, 529 00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:55,319 I don't think those people should have gotten off the hook. 530 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,240 Because the non violent people's cases, their charges were so egregious, 531 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,119 and if they could go through the all of the 532 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,519 cases of the you know, the violent ones and find out, okay, 533 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,759 did you take these plea deals? Did you get overcharged 534 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,839 and you get threatened and such to take the deals? 535 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,759 But you were still claiming innocence and that like was 536 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:19,880 the process corrupted? So that would have given you the 537 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,640 opportunity to explore that and then root out that injustice. 538 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,319 But they didn't do that.
