your support. So yes, I reference the fascist Ghulag of
Charlotte here because it's that's what I'm led to believe
by looking at all of the whistleblowing crazies that are
running all around chasing customs and border patrol. By the way,
if we actually were in a fascist state, you would
be thrown in jail two like they would be. They'd be,
They wouldn't suffer that, they would not put up with
you surrounding them with your phones blowing your whist By
the way, do you know what the whistles? You know
what that's about. So there's a socialist organization it's called PSL,
not to be confused with the permanent seat licenses at
the Panther Stadium.
Speaker 1: PSL Charlotte.
Speaker 2: It's the local chapter of the National Party for Socialism
and Deliberation Party for Socialism and Liberation PSL, and they're
handing out the they're handing out these little whistle kits,
a little plastic bag. It's got the whistle in it,
and it's got a little card in it, and you're
supposed to blow, and it's got instructions. So you blow
the whistle intermittently and that's sort of like an indication
that CBP or ice is in the vicinity, they're around
or something, and then you're supposed to do the long
sustained whistle blow for everybody, start recording or something like that.
There's a reason why they have these whistles at these demonstrations.
Speaker 1: The other day, there was a press conference on Friday.
Speaker 2: I did not get to all of the audio, and
one of the audio clips that I had was from
the chairman of the Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners, Mark Durrell.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: He has now also signed a letter City of Charlotte
Meckelberg County elected Officials joint statement. This was put out
November fifteenth, so Saturday. It is from the mayor Vye Lyles.
It's from the board chair, the county board chair, Mark Durrell,
as well as the CMS Board of Ed chair Stephanie Snead.
It's just it's just an amazing letter and not in
a good way. But I want to play this clip
from Friday and you'll get an understanding of what's going
to be in this letter.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 4: We don't have any information. This isn't a request that
came from Mecklenburg County for assistance or for help, and
so we don't understand what the plan is, what the
strategy is.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can help you with that. The plan is
they're gonna come to town. Customs and Border Patrol is
gonna come to town and they're going to go after people,
probably with like a list, and they're gonna they're gonna
detain them and then they're gonna send them back to
their home countries.
Speaker 1: That's the plan. That's They did not tell me that
that was the plan.
Speaker 2: I just see that that's what they've been doing in
all of these other cities. Also, they don't need to
tell you, especially if they receive that you are not
going to be cooperative, and as evidence of your not
being cooperative. I would just point to the fact that
we've got tens of thousands of illegal aliens in Mecklenburg
County and we have had a sheriff who scrapped the
two eighty seven G program and is just releasing these
people without the detainer requests being honored by ICE or
from ICE rather. So, Yeah, like your actions to date
would indicate that you are not cooperative. Why would they
tell you? Why would they tell you so you can
then warn people and then they could evade detection and arrest.
Speaker 1: So that's the first point here.
Speaker 4: Typically, the way we like to operate, which might be
a little strange to people, but we like to understand
what the plan is.
Speaker 2: No, you're not involved in this. You're not involved in this.
This is federal law enforcement. The FBI doesn't tell you
if they're going to be doing some sort of undercover
operations and such. Right, they don't need to get your approval.
You're the county commission chairman, Like.
Speaker 4: Right, what is the strategy? What are we trying to accomplish?
Speaker 2: And so I can answer that one too. They are
trying to what are they trying to accomplish? Customs and
Border patrol along with the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.
What they are attempting to do, the goal is to
deport criminal and legal aliens.
Speaker 1: Glad I could answer that for him.
Speaker 4: That usually takes a two way process of communication, which
we have not had. As a matter of fact, everything
has been veiled in this cloak of secrecy, which again
I don't know what we're trying to accomplish. And so
what we're trying to do is educate the citizen citizenry
with respect to the information that's available.
Speaker 1: Wait.
Speaker 2: Wait, you're trying to educate who hmmm, the citizenry. Who
do you count in that citizenry class? Because like being
a citizen means something or else, it doesn't. So many
of our political debates quote unquote are are hamstrung by this, uh,
this pretending by Democrats to not really understand what's going on.
I don't understand what it's going Really, you don't understand
what's going on. Like there was a whole campaign the
guy with the with the hair and the orange complexion.
You guys call him the fascist, you know that guy.
He ran a whole campaign. He was talking about immigration.
He's going to close the border, which by the way,
has happened, right, he did that, and then we've seen
like the implementation of this in various cities.
Speaker 1: So like it.
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear what's going on. And like
the this this pretense that I'm dumb from Darrell. It's
just it's just so frustrating. You know what's happening. You
understand what's going on. But he's got to he's got
to walk this line like, oh, you know, we're all
about cooperation, but uh, but we're totally not.
Speaker 4: Resources community groups that can help we put out guidance
to our staff with respect to county assets and the
way we should approach it. We are not here to
break the law. We are here to abide by the law.
But it would be great to have some partners that
we're working with us to be able to make sure
that we understand exactly what the plan is.
Speaker 2: So he feels like he hasn't been included, like all
of these officials that did the press conference and now
sign this letter, that they haven't been included, that ICE
isn't telling us what's going on.
Speaker 1: Steve, welcome to the program.
Speaker 5: Hello Steve Hey, Pete Hey, and and and to add
to to that, I'm going to suggest that our listeners,
if you have a local policeman that you know, and
and and we're we're lucky in this family, we do,
you would hear them say that they that that the
cooperation level between what's going on at city Hall and
the police department stinks. That the numbers numbers of policemen
who are down, they're saying a couple hundred is closer
to five hundred. They're not going to tell you that.
They're not going to tell you that they're so frustrated
because it's a revolving door.
Speaker 3: The people that are supposted to carry out justice after
the enforcement people do their job aren't getting it done.
That the streets are refilled with people that should be
in jail and they're not being taken care of, and
that their level of frustration is at the time op
level right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah no wonder, no wonder that ICE and the other
enforcement people that come in here don't bother with any
fit an effective stupid government.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, they.
Speaker 6: Other than that, everything's just great.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I mean, it's not surprising to any objective
observer why the why the agents are going into these
cities that they're going into. It's because these cities have
proven by their actions and words of their leadership, right,
they've proven that they are not cooperating that they are
they're essentially trying to nullify federal law.
Speaker 1: It's a nullification play.
Speaker 2: And by not enforcing these laws and and you know,
creating sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, I mean, that's that's pretty obvious, Steve.
I appreciate the call, Buddy good to hear from it.

there's a Mecklamburg County Sheriff Gary not my fault. McFadden
cutting into a big cake. This was from twenty eighteen
when he won the election. And the cake has a
big two eighty seven G written on it and a
circle with a line through it, you know, like no
towo eighty seven g. And he cut into the cake,
cutting right through two eighty seven G on top. They
celebrated it. He ran on this as a platform. Now
they're all confused. I don't understand. I don't understand why
immigration enforcement is coming here. It's like we don't even
have a problem. That's why they're literally saying that it's
not even a big deal here. Thank you Ikey Fu
for sending me the photo. Like I remember because I
was up in Asheville at the time. McFadden won. Down
here I mean, I'm not saying had I been here,
you know, like he would not have been elected.
Speaker 1: But I wasn't here and he was elected.
Speaker 2: So I think it's a pretty straight line there, pretty
cause and effect obvious.
Speaker 1: You know, it's all a distraction.
Speaker 2: Says after Homeland Security leave Charlotte, I'm going to go
shopping with a whistle and blow it when the stores
are too crowded.
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly.
Speaker 2: Ike if who says as if these local officials wouldn't
pass on the information, of course they would pass on
the information. They literally did a press conference with the
very activist groups that are doing the protests. They stood
side by side with them at the press conference on Friday.
Then Saturday they put out this statement from the mayor,
the County Board of Commissioners chairman, and the CMS board chair,
our organizations believe that our diversity makes us stronger.
Speaker 1: With that belief, which by the way, is not it's
not really a I know that.
Speaker 2: Like diversity is our strength, it's actually still open for debate,
but that's a different argument. With that belief, we are
unwavering in our commitment to a safe and welcoming community
where everyone can grow and thrive. It is critical for
all residents to feel secure in our community and know
they can live their lives without being fearful while walking
down the street, going to school, work, or the grocery store.
All residents, by the way, do you remember what they
were saying? What Democrats said Whenever you would ask like, well,
why isn't the sheriff cooperating? Why did he scrap two
eighty seven G program? Like what did the Democrats always say?
That's a federal issue, right, They would always say that
it's the immigration issue. This is at the national level.
Congress needs to fix the broken system. We can't possibly
do anything here, you know, they would always punt it
back over to the federal level. Well, you should be
happy then, because this is what the federal enforcement of
the law looks like. Oh no, no, you don't like
that either. It's almost as if you're not arguing in
good faith. Almost back to the letter, the expected US
Customs and Border Protection commonly called border patrol operations are
causing unnecessary fear and uncertainty in our community?
Speaker 1: Is it unnecessary? Right?
Speaker 2: Shouldn't criminal illegal aliens? Shouldn't they be fearful if people
are in the country illegally Should they be fearful of
being caught? If you were in another country illegally, would
you be afraid that you're going to get caught and
deported from that country? Isn't that always like a fear
of being caught? Like that's the point of the law,
is that if you get caught, there are repercussions that
you want to avoid, you know. Anyway, says as operations
in other cities have resulted in people without criminal records
being detained. See they're there again. They're conflating legal immigrants
with illegal immigrants. It's all just like this one, this
one group. They're like, oh, the people without criminal records.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but are they here illegally? Yes?
Speaker 2: Then that means they go before the immigration court and
then if they're found to be here illegally and not
appropriately here, then they get sent back. That's how the
immigration system has always worked until it was, you know,
purposefully ignored. So people without criminal records being detained and
violent protests being the result of unwarranted actions, then there's
no condemnation for the vileland protests. It's just like, oh,
and this thing happened, Oh well, we want people in
Charlotte and Mecklinberg County to know we stand with all
residents who simply want to go about their lives contributing
to the larger community. So this is an open borders defense.
This is an amnesty defense, is what they're doing. Each
of our organizations have made commitments to the people we
serve to protect their rights and dignity. We are committed
to following the law and to protecting the rights of
all people who call Charlotte and Mecklinberg County home, even
those who have violated the law. That's how you're committed
to following the law is providing safe haven and turning
a blind eye to people who are breaking the law.
It is important for people to understand their rights. There
are a number of organizations standing ready to assist individuals
seeking legal guidance on immigration matters. Then they give some
some data or some links on that. If you need
the police, don't hesitate to call nine one one. CMPD
does not participate in immigration and customs enforcement or border
control operations. We are not involved in any of this.
We know many of you want to speak out and
make your voices heard, and that's your right. We ask
that as a community. We do so peacefully. Please please
be peaceful. We do not want to see violence like
many witnessed in other cities. We can stand up for
what we believe in without resorting to violence. Our regent
has thrived and grown because our strength lies in our
diversity and our collective commitment to each other and to
this community. Let us all, no matter our political allegiance,
stand together for all hard working and law abiding families. Well, lawbiting,
but they're not lawbiiting. That's the problem. And that's that again,
like so much of our energy is consumed by you
pretending not to understand things. Here's a great idea. How
about making an escape to a really special and secluded
ghetto in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up
the mountain and Cabins of Ashville is your connection. Whether
you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to
plan a memorable proposal, or get family and friends together

all there is to offer at Cabins of Ashville dot
com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. All right,
let me clear out some of the communic case from
listeners here. This is from Denny, who says, I'm wondering
why Customs and Border Patrol doesn't hold sheriffs accountable for
ignoring detainment requests.
Speaker 1: Can you comment on this?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: Their requests so the the federal government cannot force the
local sheriffs to comply with the detainer requests. That's what
It's a request, and so that's and so sheriffs have refused.
Democrat sheriffs have refused when that became a big deal
for their their party base, right, Democrats ran on on
this kind of sanctuary type of approach, and that's where
they went to get their voters, you know, twenty twenty
five years ago.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just a request.
Speaker 2: Now the state has now passed legislation to force cooperation
between sheriffs and ICE. And I would also point out
that our former governor, my good friend Ray Roy Cooper,
that he vetoed what three different laws, three different bills
he vetoed that would have required that cooperation too. John,
Oh yeah, I saw this too. The Democrat party chairwoman
Anderson Clayton, who's Breezy. That's her name on Twitter, a
Breezy Clayton. And I don't know why.
Speaker 4: But.
Speaker 2: She said she posted on Twitter. Border Patrol and ICE
are currently arresting and stealing our community members off the
streets in Charlotte. Donald Truck is single handedly responsible for
this heinous actions. Please report any activity you see and
know that our party stands with all immigrant communities. That
prompted a response from the guy leading the operation Customs
and Border Patrol, Greg Bavino, and he said, wrong, US
Border Patrol is busy arresting criminal aliens who are walking
your streets with impunity. We arrested so many criminals that
we had to assign extra agents to process them. We'll
begin putting these dozens of criminals on the social media
so you won't be mistaken again. And as we all know,
Anderson Clayton in as part of her strategy for rural
outreach to Republican voters like to try to maybe capture
some of these rural voters that used to vote Democrat
but now vote Republican. So her big out reach is,
you know, to go have like coffee meetings with Democrats
in these rural areas. Also to curse a lot, right,
She likes to curse a lot and then say y'all
all the time.
Speaker 1: So that's the.
Speaker 2: Outreach effort she's been engaged in. So her response to
Greg Bovino is bleep you. That was her response, but
she didn't say bleep. She typed it out, and he
responded truth can be a hard thing.
Speaker 1: Their partner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh huh from the text line, Yeah, that's the
chair of the Democrat Party. Just in case you were
wondering where they are on all this this from Dana.
Do you have a statistic on how many others are
being targeted? Meaning Chinese, Indians, Arab European, et cetera.
Speaker 1: No, I don't have any.
Speaker 2: I have not seen any breakdown of the race or
ethnicity of any of the people that they've detained. Just
curious how many people of fair skin have been detained.
I don't know, But it's going to be difficult to
track that sort of thing because in Mecklenburg County they
list all of the they list Hispanics as whites. So
even if you get the racial data, not sure you're
going to learn very much about it, although it may
indicate that they are deporting a bunch of white people,
and then maybe you'll be happy. I don't know, or
said I don't know, Anthony says.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Regarding that protester who said no one is illegal on
stolen land, Anthony says, we return, nor owe the land
to no one. There are no native Homo sapien species
to the Americas. Everyone immigrated here, including the Native Americans. Yeah,
that's right, The grumpy man says, thanks for making the
point that the open border's progressives have brought this occupation
upon themselves. Special thanks to Sheriff not my fault, McFadden
for all of the ignored detainers. He is the true
villain in this story. By the way, I'm a natural
born US citizen, but if DHS wants to deport me
to Aruba, I will gladly go. It's Henry from rock Hill.
Speaker 1: It's up.
Speaker 2: Henry just wanted to see if you can teach pan
how to pronounce Winthrop correctly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did catch she said Winthrop.
Speaker 2: That's how my mom has always pronounced it, and she's
up in New York. To the people who say we're
on stolen land, then why don't you give up your
piece of stolen land to whomever you think it belongs
to and you move to a place where the land
isn't stolen. It's just performative, that's the thing. These things
are just performative. These are virtue signals that they put
out there. You know, I know you know that that
was Kirk. This is Chris. Back when I was a teacher,
i'd have administered a pop quiz as soon as the
skulls of mush left.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's a reference to.
Speaker 2: Crazy Mike says, I had legal folk not show up
to work today and my job site was shut down
because they were worried about harassment, slash profiling just driving
to work had legal Oh so you're saying that these
were people who are here legally and they didn't show
up because they didn't want to get They didn't want
to have to prove that they're here legally, which is,
by the way, the law.
Speaker 1: That's the law.
Speaker 2: There's immigration enforcement officers can ask people for their immigration
proof if they're here legally, and you have to provide it.
Speaker 1: It's the law.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to carry it with you at all times.
It can be recques listed at any time by immigration enforcement,
and if you don't have it with you, you can
be charged criminally with a misdemeanor. 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.

also supports ground News as they make the media landscape
more transparent. Deborah on the WBT text line driven by
Liberty Buick GMC Debra says, isn't there a whole government
agency called e verify that's supposed to prevent.
Speaker 1: The hiring of illegal aliens? Do people not use that anymore?
I don't understand it either.
Speaker 2: E Verify was supposed to be the fix for this,
you know, just like all of the other things that
they said were the fix for this. Last name is French,
says Pete. I work for a fortune five hundred company
ran projects and construction, and we required all construction contractors
and subcontractors to submit a document.
Speaker 1: That showed the.
Speaker 2: Immigrant was legally here and legally able to work, So
there's no excuse.
Speaker 1: Robert says.
Speaker 2: A few years ago, I was stopped at a red
light when an illegal alien caused a huge accident and
my vehicle was totaled and there were lots of injuries,
me included. Since she was illegal, she didn't have a
valid license. Luckily the vehicle belonged to a relative that
had insurance, but it was a massive hassle and I'm
still in pain three years later. That illegal should not
have been in the streets of Charlotte, and I'm happy
to finally see some enforcement. Andrew, I cannot see. I
cannot see that image. It's too small.
Speaker 1: I screened.
Speaker 2: I'll have to look during a break. Alice Cooper, Billy,
I don't I don't know all of you. It's like
three people. Whistles are used on job sites for signaling
when the crane is moving. Interesting, Jason says, the reason
I didn't tell them the details of why and where
they are going is the exact same reason why that
guy wanted to know. That's Mark Charrell. You should tell
us where you're going, right, That's why they're not telling you, right,
you want to know. I hate it when people play
dumb or innocent when they are neither. Jennifer says, Uh,
traffic on I seventy seven and forty five today feels
like a holiday eerily empty, you know, Like I noticed
that on my drive into work today too. Yeah, Wilkinson
Boulevard from the west into Charlotte was.
Speaker 1: It was pretty light.
Speaker 2: And I'll see what happens on the way home today.
It may be different on the way home. I don't know.
And I don't know if.
Speaker 1: There's is school out today. No school's in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so are you seeing like because that would be
pretty remarkable, right. It's weird that the party who's been
in control of Charlotte for years doesn't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: Very telling and weird. Let's stay here, did did did?
Speaker 2: R J says migrants that are here illegally have been
given every opportunity to self deport with very generous packages
to do. So, yeah, we talked about I saw it
on their website earlier today. They've got a they've got
a big link right there for you know, to help
people who are here illegally self depart you know, the
ones flaunting our laws and staying are not only adding
insult to the people who have migrated here legally, but
also the ones who have already left voluntarily. Why can't
the governor appeal to them to go ahead and leave
and save themselves from border patrol enforcement, uh, which is
never going to be pleasant. Also, I think re entry
after deportation penalty should be strengthened to felonies with mandatory
prison sentences. So yeah, like there is a reason why
Democrats are not calling for people to self deport because
they want them here, right, And that's this thing that
like everybody pretends like this isn't the case, but it
is the case. And I'm not saying it's only Democrats.
There are whole bunch of Republicans too that I mean,
they've floated amnesty ideas in the past as well. So
they're like there are people in America that are Americans,
that would very much prefer to have illegal aliens get
amnesty and convert it into citizens right. And the mere
fact that they won't tell people to avoid law enforcement
by self deporting, by going back to your home countries.
Speaker 1: But they don't talk about that three three six number.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard where these deteenees are going to after
they are arrested by the Feds. I'm hoping they go
to a federal facility and not the local revolving door.
Speaker 1: Here at Mecklinberg. Now they're going to UH. It's the UH.
Speaker 2: I think it's off of Taivola Road, the Immigration office
over there. In particular, WCNC seems to be losing their
mind with ongoing coverage over the last few days. I'm
ready to head for a bunker because one would think
we're being invaded by the Chinese and if not immediately shot,
rounded up for camps. Social media, of course, is losing
their mind with the assumption they had one no surprise.
No one knows the history of not my fault McFadden
and how many people were walking about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the.
Speaker 2: Thing again, this is of your own making. This, these
are the ramifications of your choices.
Speaker 1: Democrats, all right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank
you so much for listening.
