Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Obviously the full timeline stretches back years, right, because we
didn't get to where we are now just over the
last three days you had, right, the constant drum beat
of Trump is hitler. Trump is a fascist. Trump's going
to destroy America and the Democa, and you have the
judges throwing up roadblocks or roadblocks at every step along
the way as he's trying to enforce immigration operations and deportations,
something he campaigned on and won with. This is what
he promised. And the left does not take defeat well.
When they lose, this is what they behave like, and
so they are attempting to obstruct and to prevent the
deportations of criminal aliens. That's what we're seeing. This is
the result of a party that has been captured by
an open borders pro criminal kind of a mindset. They
cannot break out of it. And so I am advising,
I am urging everybody who is not of the left
ILK to be patient and restrained because the action is
your enemy's reaction, that's what they want. I saw the
Proud Boys founder, I forget his name, Enrique A something
or other or in Ricoing whatever, and these are guys
that were out there, you know, bashing heads with Antifa,
you know, five years ago, and he's like, we're not
mobilizing at all to any of this. And that's the
right response. Not a supporter of the Proud Boys, but
that's the right response because if you get similar kinds
of reactions, then you play into the DARVO. This is
what narcissists and sociopaths utilize, right. DARVO is the deny
attack and reverse victim and offender, the r VO reverse
victim and offender. And that's why they act like they
are the victims after they've assaulted law enforcement officers and
you know, vandalized places, looted, stores and such. You know,
there was an AT and T store that got looted,
you know, for the migrants, and shoes stores. I think,
like Jordan, I think it was like a Nike shop
or something. They got looted as well for the migrants obviously.
So here's how USA Today documents the chronology. And I
also have a piece that I referred to a couple
blurbs out of in the first hour from National Reviews
Jim Garretty titled La Burns again. So between these two accounts,
this is how it all unfolded. Immigration raids in Los
ang Angelus on Friday afternoon sparked a small protest, okay.
The next day, larger protests began in the town of Paramount,
south of Los Angeles, and these protests were linked to
rumors of a possible immigration rate. So that's Saturday. Towards
the evening on June seventh. Saturday, June seventh, President Trump
ordered two thousand National Guard members to the area. That night,
protesters threw rocks, bottles, and fireworks at officers. This is
important officers, Okay. The violence was being directed at local cops.
So when you hear all of these Democrats saying it's
because Trump sent the National Guard. Well, then why are
they attacking cops. Wouldn't they be attacking the National Guard
if that's the thing that caused the agitation. Well, you know, Pete,
when the mob gets whipped up, you know, any law
enforcement agent will do as a target. I guess. Later
that same night, again, still Saturday night, local police declare
a small part of downtown Los Angeles and unlawful assembly area,
and large numbers of protesters were cleared from the site.
So backing up to Friday, four different search warrants were executed.
Forty four people were arrested at one of the sites.
The president of the SEIU, David Huerta, was arrested for
allegedly interfering with federal officers that then mobilized the Union thugs.
And this guy with the SEIU is part of the
mobilization effort for Democrats, part of the street shock troops
that they use. So his arrest then prompts Maxine Waters
to be like, We're not going to take this. We
need to get out there and resist. So now you
have the Democrat officials creating the permission structure for the
shock troops to go out and cause mayhem. That's Friday,
six point thirty pm. One hundred people protested at the
Immigration Services Building and Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles
Friday night. Half hour later, LAPD declares that to be
an unlawful assembly ordered that crowd to disperse. About half
an hour later, multiple police vehicles and at least fifty
police officers in riot gear arrived. AH, militarization. So was
that an escalation? Why didn't that prompt more violence? So
this is Friday night, this is before the National Guard
was called. This is Friday night. LAPD rolls with riot gear.
Some protesters throw pieces of broken concrete at the officers,
who responded by firing tear gas. AH escalation. They also
used flashbank concussion rounds to disperse the crowd, and that
just made leftists angry. How dare you fight back against me?
What I'm trying to pummel you in the face with
a concrete block. No, we're going to come back tomorrow.
So around nine am, I was as shocked as anybody
to find out that the Antifa LARPers get out there
at that early hour. But around nine am, Border patrol
agents gather in a gated industrial office park in paramount.
Word spreads on social media that raids were planned, and
protesters begin to gather. There a very localized protest. Member
this is the USA today, and they want to make
sure it's not all of Los Angeles. It's the very
big Please try to minimize this. This isn't that bad, everybody,
just a This is a couple thousand people in these
really small I mean, think of all the cars that
were in burn. How many police officers were not pelted
with rocks? Come on, now, A very localized protest began.
About three hundred and fifty to four hundred protesters gathered
and some threw objects at the agents. They out of love.
They were love objects or lovejects, as I call them.
According to the Los Angeles Times reporters who were on
the scene, each time protesters threw anything at the agents
or the police, tear gas and flash bang rounds were
fired back by federal agents. One video on Twitter showed
protesters blocking a bus, which the Los Angeles Times identified
as a US Marshall's bus. Another showed a car that
had been vandalized. This is now Saturday, right four pm.
Saturday afternoon. Social media posts show LA police and sheriffs
declaring the gathering and unlawful assembly, using loudspeakers to tell
protesters that anybody who stays will be arrested. Over the
next few hours, the clash continues, with protesters throwing things
at officers, setting off fireworks, and burning at least of
one garbage can. By midnight, the demonstrators began to leave
the area. Multiple people had been arrested. Another protest also
broke out in the nearby city of Compton, where a
car was set on fire still Saturday. According to Homeland Security,
Saturday night, rioters surrounded the Immigration Services Building and Detention Center,
assaulted ICE law enforcement officers, slashed tires, defaced buildings and
taxpayer funded property. In response to the Trump signed a
presidential memo deploying at least two thousand National Guard troops
to LA. In a statement, the White House said that
the quote violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and federal
law enforcement agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles,
making the deployment of the National Guard necessary. Stephen Miller,
White House senior aide, called it a violent insurrection. US
Attorney Bill Aessale said on Twitter, federal law enforcement operations
are proceeding as planned this weekend in Los Angeles County.
I urged the public to refrain from interfering with these
lawful actions. Anyone who obstructs federal agents will face arrest
and prosecution. See that's what they're protesting. How dare you
deport anybody? And the Democrats in elected positions cannot speak
out against this, even if they wanted to, which I
don't think they do, by the way, But even if
they wanted to, they can't because that's where their voter
base is. At five point fifteen local time, Governor Newsom
posted on Twitter that deploying the National Guard is quote
purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions. He said there
was currently no unmet need in the city. This is
the wrong mission and will erode public trust. You cannot
restore law and order to my jurisdiction. I'm sorry, but
you cannot do that, President Trump, Your ice agents, federal
agents must continue to be pelted with rocks and concrete
and water bottles. Sorry, not sorry, I added that last
part I was I was just paraphrasing that, but that's
that's what he's saying. So no, the deployment of the
National Guard is not inflammatory. The things were already inflamed
before that, as noted by all of the freaking violence.
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
spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the
left and the right. See for yourself check dot ground,

Then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports
ground news as they make the media landscape more transparent.
Here's a great point on Twitter. It's a peak tweet
from Liz who says, funny, when Trump respected Democrat leader's
request not to deploy National Guard to the capitol on
January sixth, we had major chaos and many lives destroyed.
Do you think that's what democrats want now? They want
free reign to destroy people's lives and property. Why that's
you know, it's kind of their jam. But no, it's
a great point. He offered the National Guard on j
six and they said no. They always say no, right,
They never want any kind of help or assistance from
a Republican president. Same thing happened. Pat McCrory offered the
city of Charlotte national Guard when Charlotte had the riots
over Keith Lamont Scott, and the city was like, no, no, no, no,
we don't want that. No, let's scalate. So better to
let the rioters just run them up and burn themselves
out and half the city down. Rather have that than
restore order. Catherine, Welcome to the program. Hello Catherine, Hi, Hey.
Speaker 3: I just thought you might be interested in learning what
I found out last month. I spent the whole month
in southern California, and what I found out is that
I think the California support immigration and immigrants from particularly
from Mexico, for two main reasons. First of all, you know,
it all used to belong to Mexico and Wasps were
the immigrants originally. But we won that war with Mexico
and there are still huge, huge numbers of Mexicans there,
and they have family still in Mexico, friends they know,
and so they're very supportive of immigrants coming in.
Speaker 1: But illegal immigrants or illegal immigrants. A lot of people
don't realize illegal immigrant, Catherine. They're very supportive of illegal immigrants.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know about illegal immigrants, but if they
are friends or their family, they will not report them.
They'll try to be supportive I think, if they come.
But the other thing is that most people don't realize
is that it's very expensive to live there and the
property owners who are mainly lost who have taken over,
although they are a lot of Jewish too, of course,
but those people are wealthy and they need and want
all these immigrants there to do all the work for them,
not just maintenance and construction, but all the stores and
in hospitals and so on. They need the immigrants to do.
Speaker 1: The work right, they need Look, there is one thing
that Democrats are consistent on, which is the need for
an indentured servant class. That has been a hallmark of
their party going back pre Civil War.
Speaker 3: Exactly right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and this is one of the least persuasive
arguments that we have to somehow keep an indentured servant class,
you know, living in the shadows, being abused by employers
paid you know, below minimum wage that we have all
of these protections supposedly against. And then you import an
indentured servant class in order to skirt all of those
rules and abuse people under the system. So people can
you know, have cheap daycare. It's not a persuasis argument
to me, Catherine, I do appreciate the call. 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 National Forest, their cabins offer a serene escape in
the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Centrally located between
Ashville 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 own private covered porch.
Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas and a
great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins Ashville has
the ideal spot for you for any occasion and they
have pet friendly accommodations. Call her text eight two eight, three, six,
seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there is
to offer at Cabins of Aashville dot com and make
memories that'll last a lifetime, Philip asks in an email.
Along with the absence of police response in La I'm
wondering where are the fire trucks. Looks like a lot
of car fires that are just left to burn. I
guess the city leaders realize that fire trucks would be
targeted for burning as well. Let's ask the mayor. That's
a fair point, Thank you, Philip. Let's head over to
the phones and get Ralph on. Hello, Ralph, look up
to the show.
Speaker 2: Heye. So you know what I'd like to see is like,
at nine o'clock to night, present Crop hold a national
news conference and out of those forty four arrested, put
up the mugshots of the ones that did terrible, heinous
crimes against either illegal immigrants or citizens of the United States,
and then call out Maxine Waters and say, you know
you're promoting this. Where is the liability and the blame
go to you for inciting riots and stuff? And you know,
it's infuriating. And I just hope that a lot of
independence that voted for Trump the first time and everything
what would see this and would seal the deal on
these midterms.
Speaker 1: Well that Democrats they may be tossing their chances at
the midterms away with all of this, that we are
not where we were five years ago. I think I
think most Americans have had it with what we're seeing,
and they they see that Democrats are allowing this kind
of violence, their their uh incentivizing it, they're giving it permission,
and they're playing foot seat with these with these street
radicals and that. I don't think that you get a
political party into power when they do that. I just don't.
But maybe I'm wrong and maybe I'm reading it wrong. Now,
as far as your idea for Trump going on TV
and doing a news conference, I think that would be
an escalation, Ralph, if he speaks, that's an escalation. So yeah,
that's what they will say, because that's what they are
saying right now. Anything that Trump does, they're going to
call it an escalation.
Speaker 2: So well, and you know this as well, anytime you
present persent facts, actual factual, documented stuff, they not. I
mean just exactly what you just said there. You know
it's red, it is blue. I mean, you cannot win there.
They're insane. I will just come out and say it.
They're insane. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They just need to keep doing the operations as they
are doing them, provide protection for Ice as they do
this stuff, and just keep going. That's the only way
you know, the only way passed it is through, and
I think that's what they got to do, Ralph. I
appreciate the call, buddy, Thank you. All right. See you
let me get back to this chronology. When we last
left off, we were at Saturday night, and that's when
Governor Newsom started accusing Trump of purposefully inflaming tensions by
sending National Guard there because we don't need them. We
got it all under control. It's all fine. Early in
the morning. Then June eighth, yesterday, Sunday morning, several dozen
National Guard troops arrive at the Metropolitan Detention Center, three
blocks from Los Angeles City Hall. By ten thirty am,
as many as three hundred members of the California National
Guard had been deployed to three separate parts of the city.
Yesterday morning, there was only three hundred National Guards there.
That's it. The situation then escalates as the afternoon goes on,
with rioters throwing water bottles and other objects at all.
That's the way the USA today keeps reporting this. It's
other objects, yeah, like concrete bricks, that's what they're throwing.
At least five way Moos self driving taxis were vandalized
by protesters who spray painted them with anti Trump and
anti Ice slogans. At least two were then set on fire,
releasing toxins into the air and such. The one oh
one Freeway was blocked in both directions, major artery through
la LAPD said that it had placed officers across the
city on tactical alert. The police department later declared an
unlawful assembly for the Civic Center area and the historic
Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles, and area covering a
small portion of the sprawling city of five hundred square miles.
As I mentioned last hour, this is the media narrative
that this.
Speaker 4: Isn't really widespread. The whole city isn't burning, It's just
a few people. It's just a very localized action. Think
of all the cars that haven't been let on fire.
LAPD then authorized the use of less lethal munitions. The
department issued a dispersal order and set arrests were being made.
This is yesterday afternoon. In an email letter released Sunday afternoon,
Governor Newsom formally asked the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to
rescind Trump's order to deploy the National Card in Los Angeles.
National Guard troops and armored cars were stationed in a
business park. Again, remember the underlying operation on all of this,
that's what people are rioting over, not the present of
the National Guard. They're rioting over the ICE operations. And
so what the governor is saying is, do not bring
the National Guard in because we want these protests to continue.
We do not want you to provide additional security to
your ICE operations because we object to your ICE operations.
National Guard troops and armored cars were then stationed in
a business park that contains a Department of Homeland Security
office in the city of Paramount. And again virtually all
of the police interactions here were local police. I've not
seen actually any reports yet of any interactions with National Guard.
Speaker 1: The FBI director, Cash Pattel. He went on to Twitter.
He says, just so we are clear, this FBI needs
no one's permission to enforce the constitution. My responsibility is
to the American people, not political punchlines. LA is under
siege by marauding criminals, and we will restore law and order.
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. John Ekdall, writer
for various publications, He says, as best as I can
tell by reports federal officers and National guardsmen never left
the block protecting the federal building. All this violence in
the fires, it's all directed at California Highway Patrol or LAPD.
So how are the Feds inflaming this situation?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Well, they're not, and Guy Benson from Fox News responded
that it's an incoherent criticism which is meant to paper
over yet another massive failure of governance and also a pitiful,
clumsy attempt to avoid alienating the pro violence base of
the Democrat Party. LAPD chief practically said they do need
National Guard intervention because it's out of control. I played
that audio clip in the first hour. Jonathan Lemere from MSNBC.
He wrote on Twitter, if Trump can incite disturbances in blues,
so Trump is inciting a disturbance by doing what by
enforcing immigration law, which is what he campaigned on. He says,
if Trump can incite disturbances in blue states before the
midterm elections, he can assert emergency powers to impose federal
control over the voting process, which is to say, his control.
So they're already they're already fabricating these fantasies of how
you know Trump the fascist. Literally, Hitler is going to
use this as the blueprint for when the left gets
all violent during the voting period. Well, here's an idea
of violent leftists. How about don't get violent? How about that?
All right? So, spring is here a time of renewal
and celebrations. You got graduations, weddings, anniversaries and especial days

Anthony Abetus on Twitter says the Trump made us do
it line has been the pathetic excuse for so much
of the broken brain, punditry and lawlessness from elected Democrats
over the past decade. I completely agree. How many times
have I used the line from the documentary Forrest Gump, right,
it's just as war, and that's sobe Johnson made me
do it, right, the abusive boyfriend of Jenny, who is
the villain of the movie. But the reason why he
you know, why he slapped her, why he abused her.
There's always a reason. It's it's Johnson made me do it.
I'm not responsible for my own actions. I have no agency.
Stephen Miller, writer for The Spectator, He says, the incitement
claims come from enforcing federal law. That's it. And as
I've always as I've been saying, you have to study
the October seventh playbook to understand what the American media
is doing here. How fast that in one short year
we went from we are a nation of law to
if you enforce the law, we will burn everything down
and throw rocks and firebombs at people driving on the highway.
The October seventh Playbook, It's Darvo, reverse victim and offender.
Here's Greg Guttfeld from Fox. I'm trying to find a
country to establish a sanctuary city where then I can
burn crap while waving my native country's flag while violently
demanding they don't send me back to my native country
of the flag I am waving. Is there a country
I can terrorize then demand sympathy when they want me
to leave. Let's go over to the phones and talk
with Jonathan.
Speaker 5: Hello Jonathan, Hey, thanks tecking my cause.
Speaker 1: Sir, I'm good. What's going on?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, say what you want about Trump administration,
But I hope that I hope the administrations that come
after the Trump administration don't hesitate to to send a
national guard the areas when there's civil unrest like this.
The last time I remember one like this similar thing
happening was the Rodney King riots and the civil unrest
that occurred after that. And I worked for an investment
company that bought a bulk of SBA loans. Small Business
Administration loans that were made to company to companies and
small business owners that were affected by the riots, and
the great majority of these loans were in default. Somebody's
got to pick up the bill at some point. That's
the next way. The thing that you're going to see.
Speaker 6: From this these riots as the government coming in and
offering business loans to people affected, and all of us,
all across the United States, will be paying for this.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: It's a good point. And uh, there's also a nice
racket that California is running, very much like the U.
S a I D racket where they funnel taxpayer funds
through n g o s and so there's probably rebuild
efforts that are profiting as well. Democrats don't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, oh yeah, and you'll have you'll have
you have those people that come in there and pretend
to be business owners and they're really not, and their
whole intent is to get a government loan and not
pay it back. And uh, yeah, there there is going
to be a percentage of that, yeah, within the lending
industry from uh, for the loans that come from the
federal government. I just wanted to say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's a great point because the.
Speaker 5: General the general public doesn't get to see what goes
on behind the scenes. And the news. The news, they
never report the full story. They only want to report
what uh what you know, bills their agenda.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, I do and uh and
you know, if you got fire, that makes good video,
and what you've just described is a lot of paperwork
that doesn't make good video. So a lot of times
they don't cover that stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, thanks taking my call, sir. I appreciate what
you're doing.
Speaker 1: Man, Thanks, Man, I appreciate the call. Jonathan, that's great insight.
He's exactly right the ripple effect. Do you think the
insurance industry gets healthier after this sort of thing? Did
it get healthier after nineteen ninety two when there were
the riots in LA or twenty thirteen when there was
a riot in LA or twenty twenty when there was
a riot in LA. I mentioned the racket. There's a
piece by Jennifer Van Laurer over at RedState dot com.
Here's things may have stayed somewhat contained but for the
involvement of two powerful and high profile leftist community leaders
Seiu California President Union Guy David Huerta. I mentioned him earlier,
he was arrested at the protest at the ICE facility,
and then the mayor came out, and Gavin Newsom came out,
and Representative gil Cisnaros came out, and they decried the action,
which gave them the permission for mobilization. Then there's Angelica Salas,
executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights or
CHIROLA or CHURLA held a press conference calling for demonstrations
against ICE, and then you saw the waves of hundreds
and hundreds and then thousands of protesters and rioters before long. Well,
CHURLA and their friends at the Party for Socialism and
Liberation are well funded, well connected, and been astroturfing protests
against Trump for a decade. There's an attorney named Laura Powell.
She looked into churla's funding. According to a financial audit
submitted to the State of California for the fiscal year
ending June thirtieth, twenty twenty three, CHURLA took in thirty
four million dollars from various government contracts, and ninety six
percent of the government funding was from the State of California,
including the Department of Homeland Security. Funding this operation Mayor
Bass secured that contract for Churlo up from her old
pal and Beverly Hills High School grad Alejandro Majorcas. Surprise, surprise.
