went over Nate Silver's piece on Blue Skyism and on
the text line, Doug sent me a screenshot. I guess what.
I guess Doug did a search on Blue Sky. He
tells me I should get onto Blue Sky, Like, why
would I bother setting up an account just to get
banned immediately? So apparently, I guess you ran a search
of my name and this popped up. I guess this
was from I can't really, I can't read the whole name.
Tom Servo is my dot dot dot. I don't know
what that. Tom Servo is my dot dot dot that
could be in anything, your relative, your spirit guide, your
fake name. I don't know. But the the account is
m h A. E. L. M. Hale, Blue Sky Social Anyway,
I fell down a rab This is what this person
wrote on Blue Sky is apparently about me fell down
a rabbit hole the other day of digitized copies of
my old Alma Maters newspaper. And I find it fascinating
that the conservative op ed guy Pete Callaner apparently hasn't
learned a GD thing about how to be a guy
who says GD and then he's gonna say that he
hasn't learned it GD thing about how to be a
decent human being in thirty years since he graduated. Once
a Nazi dot dot dot, I wrote a well, not
only did I write an op ed, I drew a
cartoon as well for the school newspaper at Winthrop. It
was the Johnsonian newspaper. And the columns that I wrote
we would actually do a it was I'm trying to remember.
His first name was Jeff, I don't remember his last name,
and he was a progressive. I was writing from a
more libertarian view, and we would argue. We would take
a topic and we would argue the topic and yeah, yeah,
couldn't even tell you what. I don't believe I wrote
anything that was Nazi adjacent, not that I but then
again to a Blue Sky person, everything, you know, everything
to their right is Nazism. This has always been the problem,
and this is why people like me when the Left
was running around saying, punch a Nazi, punch a Nazi,
and a Nazi is everybody that I disagree with, Well, like,
that's a problem because what you're just calling for is violence.
And I also talked about in the last.
Speaker 2: Hour the.
Speaker 1: Jury acquitting a guy who had posted these death threats
against Donald Trump, and a jury acquitted him from his
post on Blue Sky, and essentially this is from polymath
on Twitter. He says, basically, the argument is that we
live in a culture where making death threats is normal.
Therefore death threats aren't really functional. They're just quirk, quirky
little part of the cultural fabric. That was essentially the
ruling or the verdict rather, and the argument that defense
ran with, and that the jury was so insane that
they agreed with There's a lot of people online rooting
for Trump to die, and in that context what he
posted is so common that it feels like an alternate
universe that he would be charged with anything, let alone
solicitation of murder. On one hand, I would not encourage
anybody to post those thoughts on social media. But on
the other hand, I can't count the number of people
who I saw post similar things. It's a very common sentiment.
There's a social there are social media accounts dedicated to
tracking whether the president has died. See. So, I mean,
it's just normal, like all of us lefties, if we've
just been, you know, calling for the assassination of Trump,
it's just so prevalent that you can't really charge all
of us. And if you can't charge all of us,
then you can't charge any of us. And that's just
the world we live in. Okay, then this from Jonathan
Turley as Democrat leaders like Representative Dan Goldman, Democrat from
New York, insists that Antifa does not exist as a group.
Two Antifa groups put out a hit list. But you know,
that's just the culture we live in, everybody, So there's
nothing to be done about it. I guess two Antifa
groups that apparently I'm not really sure how they how
this happened because they don't exist. Antifa is just an idea,
but somehow or another, the idea either, I guess it
got behind a keyboard. It manifested some posters, it printed
them out or something and hung them around actual physical
spaces in our temporal plane. I'm not really sure how
that all occurred, but it did. Front Range Antifa and
Colorado Springs Antifa, which are not organizations, they are just ideas.
They put out a hit list poster on a University
of Colorado sophomore who happens to be a leader in
the Turning Point USA organization on that campus, and he
was then promptly attacked by a person wearing a black
outfit on rollerblades who used a hockey stick to beat him.
Just an idea. People, He was whipped up on by
an idea dressed all in black on rollerblades with a
hockey stick. According to a press release, Boulder police are
looking for a suspect accused of attacking nineteen year old
TPUSA student leader near the University of Colorado Boulder on
Thursday evening. The attacker is suspected to be an Antifa
member and to have followed the victim in a premeditated attack.
The Antifa flyer that was posted accused this person of
being an active member of a quote neo Nazi organization.
There you go. I've mentioned this analogy before Rwanda, right
the Rwanda. The Rwanda genocide was whipped up and fomented
by Rwanda radio and they were constantly on the air
dehumanizing this other. I don't know if it's a clan
or ethnicity. It was the Hutus and the Tutsis, and
I forget which one genocided the other, I don't remember,
but the one that had the radio station power. They
were calling their opponents cockroaches all the time. That was
like they just they kept just hammering away, calling them cockroaches.
And when you dehumanize people and you deperson them basically,
and that's what this kind of language does to half
of the country. That's what that's what half of the
country is doing to another half of the country. And
one half of the country that's using these words like
Nazis and fascists. They have the amplification platforms that the
targets of these slurs do not. So this kid is
accused of being responsible for white supremacist, anti Semitic, and
anti LGBTQ vandalism on campus and across Boulder, claiming that
this kid and his neo Nazi organizations participated in white
a white supremacist boxing tournament. I have no idea what
that is like only whites were allowed to box? Or
was it just that they did a boxing tournament in
New Turning Point, USA, and that's Nazi and so therefore
anything they do is Nazi. The Boulder Students for a
Democrat Radeck's Society reportedly shared the flyer on their social media.
They encouraged followers to share it widely and tag the
school to notify them of Nazi activists on SEU Boulder campus.
So they targeted this guy. They named him and targeted him,
and then he was attacked. 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 Asheville 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, 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 of 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. Um. This guy says on
the text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC seven oh
four number says, I bet that dude. I bet the
dude that calls in all the time with different names
is on Blue Sky. You could argue with him there
as possible. Yeah, so the uh the Antifa flyer UH
that was posted all around UH University of Colorado, identifying
this leader of the Turning Point USA chapter, then precipitates
the kids attack. Somebody rolls up to him on rollerblades,
dressed all in the Antifa black and attacks him with
a hockey stick. Now, luckily he was not seriously injured,
probably because the Antifa guy had very limp wrists, I'm assuming,
But the point was made by Antifa that any of
their critics can be tracked down and attacked. That's the point.
It is essentially the Heckler's veto right or the assassin's veto,
we will intimidate you into silence. This is all just
under the category of shut up ory. Just shut up,
stop talking, stop disagreeing with us, Just bend the knee,
shut up, surrender, acquiesce right. And this is what people
do when they can not defend their position with their words,
usually because their position is illogical, goes against human nature,
is unseemly, does it make people feel good, leads to
bad outcomes historically, and people don't want to keep doing
the thing that you're telling them to keep doing, and
that they don't want to do it you'll notice there
is a common thread once again, the Red Green alliance right,
where you've got the leftists and Islamists in bed together. Right.
The perfect candidate, the manifestation of that candidate is Zora
Mamdani up in New York City. And so what do
those two things, What are these two isms, leftism and Islamism?
What do they have in common? You're not allowed to
disagree that you will be told to shut up. In
Islamist's case, you might lose your head. So you are
prohibited from criticizing their profit. You are prohibited from criticizing
people of a certain protected status. You can't criticize, for example,
the transgender stuff. You can't do that. If you do that,
then you're a phobic of some kind. Right, Jonathan Turley
said recently he had a debate with a colleague of
his professor, Mary Ann Frank, on free speech. I objected
when she repeated the often used claim on the left
that if you oppose antifa, then you are by definition
a fascist. And by the way, that argument is shut
up ry. It is meant to shut down the argument.
It's a false construct that I call myself this thing.
And so if you disagree with this thing I'm calling myself,
then you must be for this bad thing, because I've
called myself the opposite of the bad thing, and that's
just a complete fabrication. You picking a name that is
not in line with your actual behavior does not make
me the thing that you claim to oppose but are
actually doing. Because Antifa actually engages in fascism. That's the
whole irony there. But he noted that many in the
free speech community have been threatened by this very group,
which is the most violent anti free speech movement in
the United States, Antifa is. At the same time, the
Democrat leaders are ramping up denials of the very existence
of Antifa as a group in an effort to deflect
criticism from their own increasingly rage filled rhetoric at a
time of rising political violence. Right, so this is why
you you have this this disconnect where you've got you know,
guys like Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Attorney General, saying that
you know, Antifah doesn't exist yet somehow or another, he
had posed for a picture on his own social media.
He took his own picture of him you holding up
the Antifah handbook, Like that's pretty impressive. That somebody would
have a handbook for something that doesn't exist. It's just
an idea. Why do you need a handbook for an idea?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: A handbook indicates that there are some strategies, there are
some things in there that people would need in order
to organize themselves. That's what a handbook is about. Why
else would you call it a handbook? And probably that's
why the author of said handbook fled America. He fled.
He's a professor I think at Rutgers, I want to say,
and yeah, he fled the country because he takes money,
a certain percentage of all the sales of this book,
and he pumps it into Antifa related organizations, which would
mean that he's funding a designated terrorist organization now that
Trump has designated as such. Now, Jonathan Turley, who I'm
reading from this piece at his website Jonathan Turley dot org.
Jonathan Turley does not agree with Trump's designation of Antifa
as a terrorist organization, and he says he's got concerns
free speech concerns, but he also understands that it Antifa
is very much real, Okay, And so these politicians on
the left that were once touting Antifa didn't seem to
have any kind of misunderstanding about its existence or not.
Now all of a sudden, they're going back to this
idea that, oh, it's just an idea. Well, they have
to because now that it's been designated as a terrorist organization,
now the Democrats have to step aside from it because
they can't be associated with it. By design, Antifa avoids
your typical leadership, hierarchies, and your typical organizational structures. That's
by design. Antifa was created in the nineteen twenties, and
it was associated with the pre Nazi the Weimar era
German communist group Kammis started Antifa. Okay, with Antifa violence
on the rise, he says, Democrat leaders have gone back
to denying its existence even as Antifa deploys its signature
black hoodies and masks. The Colorado case shows just how real,
how violent, and organized this group is in the United States.
You'll recall former FBI Director Christopher Ray. He was asked
about this during a congressional hearing and he said, quote,
Antifa is a real thing. It is I mentioned earlier.
Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Attorney General, he proclaimed that Antifa,
let me back up Here, Turtley says, while many on
the left are not denying its existence, they are rallying
their members or actually selling antifah merchandise. When they're not
denying that it exists, they're selling Antifa merch. Former Democrat
National Committee Deputy chair Keith Ellison, now the Attorney general
in Minnesota, had proclaimed that Antifa would quote strike fear
in the heart of Trump. But the idea would strike
fear in the heart of Trump. That's weird, an idea
would make Trump tremble. His own son, who serves on
the Minneapolis City Council, Jeremiah Ellison, actually declared his allegiance
to Antifa in the heat of the protests this past summer,
which I was unaware Minneapolis is still protesting. What do
you guys or is this just anti Trump protests? But
it doesn't exist. It's just an idea, don't you see
that has a handbook and organizations like Front Range Antifa
and Colorado Springs Antifa that print posters targeting Turning Point
USA students and then attacks them with hockey sticks. Just
an idea. You know, Stories are powerful. They help us

got some more mailers from the partnership to advance Charlotte
and let me see who sent this one to me?
U coalition for a better twenty to fifty two different addresses,
but they both have the same message wanting me to
vote to approve an increase in the sales tax in
Mecklenburg County. So this this flyer from the Partnership to
Advanced Charlotte based out of the Sweet one five eight
Park Road, Charlotte. There's a woman leaning out of her
car window with her hand raised. She's screaming at other
cars or something. She's not very nice and there's a
whole line of cars behind her, and it says traffic sucks.
Vote for the solution, learn how, and then you flip
it over here. Vote to stop the traffic congestion. Vote
for the solution. Traffic in Mecklenburg County is awful. Voting
for the one and send sales tax referendum will fund
seven point eight billion in local road improvement. Cut down
on traffic and commute times. That's not true. Synchronize green
lights for effective travel, Increase funding for safety and security
on the roads. Will increase funding for safety and security
on the roads, or would that be safety and security
on something else, maybe in some other mode of transit.
That's not part of this flyer. It's very interesting, the
whole thing. Yet again, another mailer for the one sense
sales tax that makes zero mention of the trains, which
is what the sales tax was designed for, the one
send sales tax proposal. And the transportation plan was supposed
to be all about the light rail line, and then
the legislature said, no, it can't just be about trains.
You got to put some road money in there. And
so the city had to rework the plan and they
came up with this forty forty twenty split. Forty percent
for the trains, forty percent for roads. And by the way,
the roads do not just include you know, adding new lanes. No, no, no, no, no, no,
it's about signalization, it's about bike lanes, sidewalks. Yeah, all
of that stuff falls under the category of roads. And
by the way, I saw in the Charlotte Observer article
today they mentioned something about the roads. Now, they did
not give any kind of a list of prioritization. There
wasn't a link to the transportation plan for you know,
what road projects would be done. You can find it.
The city has it at their website, but it's only
for the city council districts. Anything outside of the city
is not included in there. Because they just targeted like,
here are the city council districts, because the district reps
wanted to know, obviously, well how much is coming to me?
How much can I campaign on that I got for
my constituents. You know, now there is an orphan road component.
Orphan roads are these roads that were built to city
standards back when the city was going to gobble up
everything that touched their borders through forced annexations. And then
the legislature flipped control and the Republicans were like, no
more forced annexations. If the city wants to annex property
into city limits and raise everybody's property taxes to be
in the city, well then you're going to have to
get approval from you know, more than half of the
people you want to annex in. It's got to be voluntary. Surprise, surprise,
nobody really wants to be inside the city limits. And
so now you have a bunch of roads that were
built to the city standards that cannot be turned over
by the private developers. They can't hand them off to
the city because they're not part of the city. Okay,
well how about we hand them off to the NCDOT, right,
because Becklimber County does not do roads. So if you're
in the county and you had a developer build your
neighborhood and they built these roads, and you can't turn
them over to the city, We'll turn them over to
the state. Ha ha, No, you cannot do so because
the state has specific rules about the road design. And
one of those very big detail is what I like
to refer to because this affects my neighborhood too. Street trees.
These are the trees that were planted between the sidewalk
and the curb, that little planting strip. You know, the
City of Charlotte requires you to plant trees there, which
is the stupidest thing ever. It is such a stupid idea.
Why well, when you plant trees between a sidewalk and
a road, the tree grows. And as the tree grows,
stop me if you've heard this before, its root system
grows and you can't see it because it's underground. And
so the root system keeps growing and growing, and then
it grows under the sidewalk, and it grows into the
curb and gutter and sewerage and the drains, and it
grows under the asphalt, and then it starts buckling up
those things. It starts pushing up against the sidewalks and
the roads, and that creates a lot of maintenance cost
because you've got to keep coming back in and shaving
down the sidewalk so people aren't tripping all over them
all the time. Very expensive, and that's what the city
requires to plant the trees. So says you cannot plant
those trees, we will not maintain that road. We will
not take that road from you developer if you planted trees.
So you have a lot of these neighborhoods, again mine included.
So I'm very familiar with this orphan road issue where
the roads are now just turned over to the HOA
if one exists, and if one does not exist, then
it's just abandoned and nobody maintains it. Now the builder
doesn't get their bond back. But it's a problem. There
are apparently one hundred and eighty miles worth of roads,
one hundred and eighty miles of roads in Mecklimer County
that are orphan roads. And Mecklimber County commissioners actually asked
about this very issue in a letter in a Q
and A with the city a couple of months back,
and the city said, oh, yeah, yeah, we'll totally look at,
you know, working out some solution with NCDOT. They don't
tell us what that is. What could it be you
going to cut down all those trees, because that would
be a violation of the Tree Ordinance also City of
Charlotte Tree Ordinance. You're gonna allow everybody to cut trees down,
or you're gonna try to force the NCDOT to take
control maintenance control, or maybe you're gonna make the City
of Charlotte take maintenance authority over these roads even though
they're not part of city limits. So if that's the
if you go that route, then for example, if I'm
out of outside of city limits and my neighborhood has
one of these orphan roads or say, you know, five
ten miles of them or whatever, and now the city's
going to maintain them, what happens if the city messes
it up? What happens if the city does not maintain them?
What if they just ignore us? Who exactly do I
go to to lobby for relief because I don't have
a city council representative. There isn't anybody that represents me
on city council. M Yeah, no, I'm not really buying
this argument either see I'm not really buying your flyers
that tell me this is all about traffic. I know
it's not about traffic. This is about trains. Okay, this
is about trains, about getting that North line built, but
for some reason they're selling it all as roads. 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, dot news

only helps my podcast, but it also supports ground News
as they make the media landscape more transparent. I still
have this other flyer. I haven't even gotten to the
second flyer, paid for by a different coalition, also only
focusing on roads. Let me jump over here first to
the phone lines and chat with Jeff. Hello, Jeff, Welcome
to the show.
Speaker 2: Hey Pete, I just want to thank you for giving
the common sense assessment of this whole thing. It's a joke.
It's the biggest boondoggle I've ever experienced. And I've called
and written to all the media, individual media, the Observer
and the Charlotte Lee stories and all of these, and
they're all putting out articles and now they're looking a
little more balanced. But when you covers it's like you're
doing you see that, it's it's all. It's just all
about the trains. It's the trains, period. And here's one
more common I wanted to make is if it's going
to be about the trains, and the least thing you
could do is provide us with demand numbers. Yeah, and
the demand equates to ridership, and none of them will
talk about ridership.
Speaker 1: Well, they won't talk about they won't give us the
ridership numbers because when they built, like I was here,
I was a reporter when the half sent sales tax
was approved for the transit plan, and that included the
South Corridor light rail but also other lines. That was
supposed to fund all of this stuff, right, yeah, and
it didn't. It didn't even fund the light the Blue line.
And they gave ridership numbers and projections at that time
which turned out not to be true, and so of course, right,
And so that's why I assume they're not giving us
ridership numbers projection for the Red line all the way
up to the north side there. I suspect that's because
they know that if they give numbers, they're not going
to hit them. And I think that it's even less
densely populated along the Norfolk Southern Line, the rail line
that they just acquired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be less accessible and less attractive and all that.
It's just that I grew up in Charlotte, was born here,
and they're just strangling us with more taxes and more
absurd things like this. But hopefully maybe the voters will
wake up next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, so we shall see, Jeff, I appreciate the call, buddy,
thank you.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, man Sea.
Speaker 1: Part of the deal back then, in what was it,
early two thousands, they have sent sales tax. Part of
the promise was also to have this pedestrian bridge that
crossed I two seventy seven, and just this week they
unveiled the sketches of what this thing is going to
look like. Now I'm unclear as to the actual cost
because I've seen on the city website it's is twenty
one point three million dollars, but then there's also these
releases that say sixteen point four million dollars. So I'm
not sure what the funding breakdown is where it's coming from.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: I've seen no breakdown. How much is coming from the city,
how much is coming from some of these other entities,
these private entities that have helped kick in funding for it.
It looks like it's going to be it's going to
look It looks like it's going to be nice like looking,
you know, it's going to be aesthetically not an eye
sore so good job on that from the Charlotte Observer.
This project has been discussed for almost two decades. On Tuesday,
city officials and stakeholders celebrated the groundbreaking of the Rail
Trail Bridge project, which will connect users from Uptown to
South End through the Charlotte Rail Trail and give criminals
on another hunting ground as well as an escape route.
I'm just kidding, I headed that last part. Also, leftists
are going to be able to use this as a
location for them to protest. They're going to hang their
banners and stuff over the railings, you know, so it
creates congestion and traffic slow downs and everything on two
seventy seven on whatever day where these leftists not working
of course, will be able to go out there and
just you know, jam up traffic by you know, unfurling
banners over the side of the bridge. So looking forward
to that impact as well. Yeah. This other flyer that
I got in my mailbox paid for by the Coalition
for a Better twenty to fifty. They are located out
of three point thirty South Trion Street and their flyer
says take the wheel steer towards safer roads and less traffic.
Vote yes on the transportation referendum. And it's like an
image from inside a car, like showing the dashboard. It
says vote votes, got a little vote stickers, and it says,
our community's future is in your hands. Don't wait, make
your plan to vote yes. More green lights, faster commutes,
less congestion, better roads and sidewalks. Again, no mention of
the trains, No mention of the streetcar project, the Anthony
Fox streetcar. I call it that. I call it that
because the streetcar got leapfrogged above the other higher priority projects,
because Anthony Fox made a bunch of promises to the
east Side in order to get their votes, and part
of that was to have the streetcar run to the
east Side. It still hasn't happened, but I mean, that
was the promise that he made. And look, the important
thing is that it got him the mayor's race, right,
It helped him win the mayor's race over John Lasseter,
the Republican. And really, can you put a price on that,
you know? Because Fox was able to parlay that into
you know, a position in the Obama administration. Him knowing
so much about you know, transportation and such, he went
to work in the transportation department up there in d C.
So I mean it worked out for him. Now, on
the flyer, it says, take the wheel our community's futures
in your hand. Vote yes on the referendum. Passing the
transportation Referendum will mean more green lights, less congestion, upgraded infrastructure,
into brighter future for our community. But it's up to
you to make it happen. Vote yes, don't wait, get out,
vote early, or request an abstentee ballot. And then it says,
you know, vote yes for more green lights and less traffic.
Who would be against that? Vote yes for safer roads
and better pedestrial in safety features, Vote yes for new sidewalks, crosswalks,
and street lights. And then there's a picture of a
family I assume in a minivan, all smiling and laughing,
little babies in the background or in the back seats
and stuff, And so I mean, who could be against this?
Except in the Charlotte Observer story they point out that
the road projects would not start until late twenty twenty six,
maybe early twenty seven, when the money starts becoming available.
And again, no prioritization, no criteria, and no mention on
the flyers of the biggest outlay, which is the forty
percent for the trains and another twenty percent for micro
transit options and such wonder why all right? That'll do
it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
