[00:00:30] It's out of Asheville, and by the way, on Wednesdays we usually chat with Mark Starling from WWNC up in Asheville, and so we'll get an update from him tomorrow at one o'clock on this story.

[00:00:41] But it happened over the weekend, and it was at an anarchist conference, which I've got some questions. How does one go about planning an anarchist's conference? How do you even begin to do that?

[00:01:00] By definition, these are people that supposedly don't want there to be any kind of rules. I don't get it. So whatever. They have this conference, another Carolina anarchist book fair. Get it? Another Carolina anarchist book fair. A-C-A-B. You know what that is, right? A-C-A-B.

[00:01:33] All cops are bees, right? Not the insect, not the pollinator. It's a bad word for a child born without a father. So like this is their slogan. This is the antifa slogan, A-C-A-B. And so they, yes, uh-huh, they did a speaking session called A-C-A-B.

[00:01:59] Another Carolina anarchist book fair. By the way, if you're an anarchist, do you read the books like straight through from the beginning to the end or do you just bounce around? Just like read different chapters in different, like, look, I will tell you, I have always

[00:02:16] said about the self-proclaimed quote anarchists is that they are not anarchists. They're temporary anarchists. They're TAs because they're not actually for no rules. They're not actually for no government. They're actually Marxists. Anarchy is simply a temporary state to get to the Marxist utopia, which of course usually

[00:02:39] starts with a lot of dead people and then utopia never arrives. But aside from that, plan works perfectly every time it's tried, which it's never been. Real Marxism never been tried. So the temporary anarchists, they are essentially LARPers, live action role players, L-A-R-P.

[00:02:59] Usually you see these people, the LARPers, they're out there in the parks with the fake plastic and wooden swords. They're dressed like wizards and stuff and they're like role playing things. LARPers, okay. Or I guess like reenactors, Civil War reenactment, Revolutionary War.

[00:03:16] I guess that's kind of the same thing, live action role player. I guess maybe, I don't know, they're reenactors though. They're actually working off of some form of a script, you know? I don't think the LARPers do. So that's what these quote anarchists are.

[00:03:29] They're temporary anarchist LARPers, okay? And so they have a conference in Asheville. Apparently it was like a three day deal, which is fine for them because like they're not working so they can take all the time. All right, so they have a 2.30 afternoon speaking session.

[00:03:50] Well, you can't call it a workshop. They're anarchists. They're not going to work. You have the speaking session, another Carolina anarchist book fair and it's like 2.30 in the afternoon. This is on Saturday and it's at the West Asheville Public Library. They hold it.

[00:04:13] They hold it at the public library. Okay. All right. Well, guess what? That's a public space. And so people can attend your conference because it's at the library. And so there were a couple of people, elderly folks, happened to be Jewish. Uh huh.

[00:04:34] Y'all see the problem already, right? No, you don't. Right. No, why would there be a problem? They're just elderly people. They're at the library and they're like, oh, I want to see this event.

[00:04:48] And so they go in there and one of the elderly people, she starts live streaming it probably to Facebook. David Moritz, Monica Buckley and Bob Campbell. They went to the West Asheville library to attend an event called strategic lessons from the Palestinian resistance.

[00:05:13] They estimated there were between 60 and 80 people in that, uh, in that event. Okay. So I guess the overall conference was called another Carolina anarchist book fair. Oh, and yes, by the way, in case you were interested to know and curious, the Firestorm collective is part of this.

[00:05:32] Of course it is. Firestorm books. That's the bookstore in Asheville. It's communist, which is weird that they sell books because they're commies, but whatever. They're also running the, they branched out beyond the books. They do the needles too. They hand out the needles.

[00:05:52] Um, no, Eric ACAB does not stand for all cops are brave. That's not what it's, they are, but that's not what ACAB stands for. Um, so the, uh, so the name of the conference ACAB, but the name of this particular session

[00:06:13] or this event was strategic lessons from the Palestinian resistance. By the way, the person that was giving it, uh, they were not from Palestine. Okay. They were not, they were not a Hamas whole a, they were, they seemed to, they, they, they had no accent.

[00:06:32] They seemed to speak perfect English. They seemed very American, whatever. Um, Moritz and Buckley, both of whom are Jewish said they wanted to be there to learn about what was being taught in their community. Buckley live streamed the session.

[00:06:46] And she said she did so because she feared for her safety and she was right. Quote, I just thought it would be safer to live stream what was happening. The three, uh, people say that, uh, they were in the room for about half an hour before

[00:07:03] somebody announced that the session was being live streamed. And then the conversation from the leader of the event at the front of the room shifts from how awesome Hamas is to how do we deal with these three Zionists?

[00:07:28] And uh, first you saw the classic LARP or tactic, the classic Antifa temporary anarchist, uh, black block tactic where a couple of people just started crowding around the woman with the phone who was videotaping it because, uh, or live streaming.

[00:07:45] You know, they just stand in front of the camera so she can't get a good shot. So we're just going to stand here with our backs to you to block the view, to block the image.

[00:07:55] And then a woman grabs her phone, which you've now crossed the line into assault and robbery, right? You've now robbed somebody. You've stolen their possession. Um, and the woman then starts running towards the door and then you hear somebody in the

[00:08:16] video say, uh, something to the effect of, I should just throw it against the wall, break it against the wall. Um, the woman Buckley says that she tries to get her phone back and that's when the violence

[00:08:29] begins when she jumped on the burglars back, the robbers back, which that I did not recommend you do that. But mad props to the elderly woman for jumping on someone's back like that's pretty impressive, right? Probably keeping up with her calisthenics regimen. I don't know.

[00:08:52] Um, she says, I jumped on her to get my phone back. There was a swarm of dozens of people that attacked me and then Bob and David came to try to help me and then they were swarmed and attacked.

[00:09:06] Also they were hitting me, punching me, punching my wrists, stomping on my ankles. Somebody choked me with something. Bob Campbell, a Navy veteran battling cancer, stepped in to help and he said, quote, I went

[00:09:21] behind her and then a guy grabbed me from the back and pushed me down on the floor and I said, you know, I got cancer. I'm 80 years old. You don't have to do much. But he would not stop. They said that he didn't care.

[00:09:42] Bob and I both got up to defend her, but it was just such a mob of people. They just started punching me more. It said I had bruises on my head. I was fighting back. I kicked some people.

[00:09:55] I think Brit threw a spear at a guy at some point. Bob and I both got up to defend her, he says. So look, they were throwing hands at the mob, but at that point the mob is attacking the

[00:10:10] woman because she jumped on the other woman to try to get her phone back. But it all started because one of the LARPers, one of the anarchists, one of the Antifa black blockers stole a phone from a woman.

[00:10:27] Now at one point, I did think this was, I thought this was right on the money. The woman who was, or maybe one of these guys, says to the people when they're complaining about it being live streamed, they say, like, don't you want your message to get out?

[00:10:43] Like why are you holding a conference otherwise? Like why would you schedule a conference at a public library and then be like, I don't want my message getting out. Oh, and guess what? You'll never believe this.

[00:10:55] 90% of the people in that room wearing masks because they're so very worried about communicable disease, you know. By the way, there's some breaking news here on the RFK Jr. story, Vanity Fair published. Oh, and by the way, he apparently, there's like a bunch of stuff in there.

[00:11:14] Number one is that he ate dog, he ate a dog. And here's the problem with that aside from the eating of the dog, but it was in South Korea at the time, but he had a picture.

[00:11:24] There's a picture of him and it's not like a plate of like barbecue looking. It's like a dog off a spit and he's holding it up and he's like biting into it, like the whole carcass. Like that's, yeah. And now there's a tweet here from Keith Edwards.

[00:11:50] Oh, a Democrat strategist. So obviously they want RFK out. This is the oppo dump against RFK Jr. But there was another piece of the story that said there's an allegation there from a 23 year old babysitter that he sexually assaulted her.

[00:12:08] He like rubbed up against her and was like touching her hand and her leg and stuff. And his response to the question was, I am not a church. Sorry. I am not a church boy. I said there are skeletons in my closet. And then he refused further comment.

[00:12:29] He says, I'm not a church boy. And I said that there were skeletons. Look, you guys, I said there were skeletons in my closet. You know, I look, I already came clean on this stuff while not saying anything about any of the specifics.

[00:12:41] I already said, though, that I'm a pretty bad guy was a bad guy. So, wow. Okay. Just when you thought this race could not get crazier. All right. So back to the story out of Asheville, the three elderly people that went to an anarchist

[00:13:04] conference and then were assaulted, their phone stolen because one of them, one of these elderly women was live streaming it because she said and she said she did so out of a fear for her personal safety. Right. So they asked her to have a live stream going.

[00:13:23] If something happens like it did now, there's video. And guess what? They have made an arrest and they're out. No, I'm kidding. Well, probably not. I don't know if the person is out or not, but there has been an arrest. Taylor Danielle Zarkin, now 35 years old.

[00:13:49] Two counts of resisting delay and obstruction. The investigation into the reported robbery and assault is ongoing. So the first thing I did was a search of Taylor Danielle Zarkin. She is a registered Democrat. I know shocker. I thought she'd have been unaffiliated being an anarchist and all.

[00:14:11] I would think they would reject sort of the affiliation with any kind of an organized, you know, political party. But no, joke's on me. She's a registered Democrat. And I did find her name. It did pop up in another story.

[00:14:29] This one goes back to right after January 20th, 2017. Does that date raise any flags for you? January 20th, 2017. That's right. It's Inauguration Day, January 20th. She was arrested for rioting in D.C. when Trump won. Right. Not an insurrection, by the way.

[00:14:57] The riots that occurred when Trump won at the inauguration and all of that stuff, the assaults and all that, that's not an insurrection. Totally different thing. Right. Her home was listed as Florida at the time. She was 27 at the time. And then the charges got dropped against her.

[00:15:16] So once again, I say this kind of stuff will continue until people say enough is enough. She did not face any serious repercussions. Also, why the hell do so many people from Florida move to Asheville? I do not understand it.

[00:15:32] I've asked them and they all like, oh, I like the mountains. And there are mountains you passed on the way up to North Carolina. They're all in Georgia. They're right there. You could be in just stop at those mountains, please. Leave us alone. I kid, Floridians.

[00:15:49] I kid that. No, I kid. Andy says, Pete, when I lived in Pensacola, Florida, I had a dentist that spent his winters in Asheville. He was retired Navy and he said that he enjoyed the North Carolina mountains in the winter. I asked if he was well.

[00:16:05] And should I find a new dentist? Uh, Jan says, why do people from Florida go to Asheville for the mountains rather than Georgia? Well, apparently you have not spent a lot of time in Georgia.

[00:16:21] It has been 40 years since I left Florida, lived in Georgia for two years, and that was more than enough. I have spent time in Georgia. I got family in Georgia. I mean, it's in the Atlanta area. Does that count? I feel like that counts as Georgia.

[00:16:36] I go through a lot of them. I would drive through the Georgia mountains to get to Atlanta. I know they're there. Danelle wants to know, what is the song playing when you sign off with Don't Break

[00:16:50] Anything While I'm Gone? That would be When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin. It's the very it's the intro. I use the intro of that song for my intro for my theme.

[00:17:00] And then we at the end of each hour, we play the end of that song to close out the hour. Now, if you're asking about Fridays, we play a special song on Fridays, and that is Feel a Good One Coming On by Blackberry Smoke.

[00:17:17] Do do do do do this is from another one from Jan. Join in progress. Corinne Jean-Pierre. Good God, man, have you lost your compassion for your listeners? That's no, Jan. I've never had any. So it's impossible to lose what one does. No, I just come on.

[00:17:37] I want to see what she has to say. Right. Don't are you at least curious? Like, how is she going to clean up? You know, she's not going to clean. It's going to be awful. You know, it's going to be awful if I can't look away.

[00:17:51] I just can't look away. Oh, OK. So there was one other part of this story from the the three elderly people that were assaulted by the Antifa leftists, the communists in Asheville at the public library during their anarchist conference. The schedule for the seminar.

[00:18:14] This is according to the Jerusalem Post, JPost.com. The schedule for the seminar offered to teach the, quote, strategic practices developed by, quote, Palestinian resistance groups over 75 years. Here's the description, quote, What can revolutionaries in the West learn from the Palestinian resistance now that the struggle to stop

[00:18:38] the genocide in Gaza and free Palestine spreads to this terrain? So they're teaching people. How to behave like Hamas. In Asheville. Oh, OK. Got a message here also, it's a tweet. Pete, I am involved with a business just down the road from that bookstore, the Firestorm Collective Bookstore.

[00:19:06] When the store moved from one end of the road to the other end of the road, we were warned by Asheville police about watching out for all the the druggies that are going to be moving our way. We have since been broken into. Not a surprise.

[00:19:22] And it's not a surprise. Now, I am kind of curious what the the candidate for governor that the Democrats have put up. Josh Stein, a Jewish man. I am curious what his thoughts on this story might be, because these were Jews that were assaulted.

[00:19:38] They were called Zionists and such. And there was a story by Tim Funk the other day at the Assembly, which is a publication started up by much of all retired newspaper people and stuff, the Assembly NC dot com.

[00:19:51] Days after October 7th, when America still seemed united in its revulsion of Hamas's massacre and kidnapping of Israelis, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein spoke at a mournful event in Raleigh and wrote a letter of solidarity to the Asheville Jewish community, which was also gathering to grieve.

[00:20:10] Dates like December 7th, 1941, September 11th, 2001 are etched in our minds forever as Americans now. October 7th, 2023 will forever be indelibly marked in the hearts of Israelis, he wrote, ending with, quote, We stand with Israel. This was personal for Stein.

[00:20:26] He's a member of Temple Bethor, a reformed Jewish congregation in Raleigh, and he'd be the first Jewish person elected governor of North Carolina if he wins in November. But soon and for months, most of the headlines and TV news footage

[00:20:39] would be about deep divisions within the Democratic Party over Israel, the ongoing war in Gaza and pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. Republicans, including Stein's opponent, Mark Robinson, who has made anti-Semitic comments in the past, have sought to exploit this split.

[00:20:57] They've rebranded themselves as the real supporters of Israel and called on Stein and other Democrats to criticize anti-Semitism in their own ranks. This uncharted territory has been particularly perilous for Democrat candidates. Why? Why would that why would it be perilous for Democrat candidates?

[00:21:16] Weird. Is anti-Semitism wrong or is it not? Yes. Well, maybe he'll maybe he'll explain. Starting with President Joe Biden, they can't afford to lose the votes of any group that's traditionally been part of their party's coalition, including the anti-Semites.

[00:21:34] OK, including those who have an emotional and spiritual bond with Israel and haven't forgotten the Holocaust. Also, progressives who are critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right wing government and are aghast at the thousands of Palestinian civilian casualties

[00:21:49] and young people and people of color, many of whom see Israelis as colonizers and the Palestinian cause as akin to the Black Lives Matter movement. There are Jewish voters in each of these groups. So how is Stein responding to it all? Carefully.

[00:22:08] He appears to be threading the needle on reacting on the most contentious developments with nuanced statements from him and his campaign, and on the one hand and on the other hand, answers during infrequent interviews. So, OK, carefully is one way to describe that. Here's another way. Cowardly, right?

[00:22:34] Cowardly. That's the other way I would describe that. OK, if you're listening to this podcast, you are obviously paying attention to the world around us. You also have really great taste, I might add. But if you haven't started getting prepared for various emergencies,

[00:22:47] I got to ask, what are you waiting for? Please call my friends Bill and Jan at Carolina Readiness Supply and they'll help get you started. If you have no idea how to start, they can help you. If you're an experienced prepper, they can help you, too.

[00:22:59] Being prepared is just smart. We've already established that you're smart. I mean, you listen to this podcast after all. So let's put those smarts into action. Go to Carolina readiness dot com. That's Carolina readiness dot com or call them at 828-226-7239.

[00:23:17] Carolina Readiness Supply has 2000 square feet of supplies, as well as educational materials that you're going to need for any kind of emergency. Veteran owned Carolina Readiness Supply. Will you be ready when the lights go out? All right. So the White House press secretary, Kerringe Jean-Pierre,

[00:23:34] she says Joe Biden had a cold. He knows he didn't do a great job. His voice was hoarse and he's got a really jam packed schedule coming up. He is someone who has dealt with tragedy. He is someone who has confronted that head on.

[00:23:46] He is someone who knows how to get back up when you've been knocked down. That is something that he understands very, very well. And I think and we believe that's something that many of Americans across the country understand as well. Hang on a second.

[00:24:00] And he knows how to come. This was Mika Brzezinski's monologue. The president's going to continue on Monday on MSNBC Morning Joe. That's what Brzezinski was going over. Continue to focus on the American people. And, you know, to your question, just to add a little bit

[00:24:16] more to your question, look, you heard from Speaker Pelosi. You heard from Representative Clyburn. And let me just share paraphrase a little bit of what they said. Speaker Pelosi, who is very close to the president, said it is not about performance in terms of a debate.

[00:24:30] It's about performance in a presidency. And this is a president. You've heard me say this. We've talked about this. He's been able to give us an economic recovery, the strongest economic recovery in modern history. Let's not forget during the midterms of 2022, many people,

[00:24:47] many of you all, some of you in this room said that it was going to be a red wave. And that didn't happen. He defeated big pharma. We have seen historic. He defeated it in more than down to 50 year low.

[00:24:59] And then you had Representative Clyburn, who said the president has done a great job leading for the last three and a half years. The best predictor of future behavior is past performance. This is from Clyburn. And when you look at the record of President Biden versus former

[00:25:17] President Trump, you see President Biden, who I got to say this, just watching her read out of her binder versus Joe Biden does read in public better than she does. That is obvious, even if he was committed to protecting our fundamental freedoms

[00:25:31] versus the former the former president, the previous administration doing everything that they could and they did to overturn Roe v. Wade. And they are responsible for that. And those are that's coming from two people who are not just leaders in Congress, but also 80 years old themselves.

[00:25:49] I think part of the problem that Democrats are articulating is that it wasn't just that he had a cold, but rather he had answers. He was trailing off. He didn't answer some questions in a sort of fulsome way.

[00:26:06] And speaking of Nancy Pelosi, one of the things that she recently said was that it was a legitimate question whether his performance was an episode or a condition. So I guess I wonder if there's been any consideration given to like releasing

[00:26:19] a more robust set of medical records or something to show his mental acuity. So I will say this, look, and again, I did you not see the debate? It is a fair question to ask. We are not taking that away.

[00:26:31] And that's why the president certainly has spoken to this as it relates to his medical records. We have been transparent. We have released thorough reports from his medical team every year since he's been in office. That is something that we have been pretty consistent about

[00:26:46] as it relates to, you know, something like a cognitive test to the question that you're asking me about what the speaker, former speaker said. Obviously, she can speak for herself. Oh, my God. She's awful at this.

[00:26:59] Who has said the medical team said it is not warranted in this case. We have put forward a thorough, transparent annual report on his health. So they have said that is not warranted. So there's just not OK. So they're just going straight up gaslight.

[00:27:14] Like it's just just cranking it. We just give it more, more gas, more gas. We understand it was a bad night. It is not uncommon for incumbents to have a bad night on their first debate.

[00:27:28] And we are going to continue to do the work that we have been doing on behalf of the American people. I think the president record certainly speaks for itself. All right. So that's how bad it was so bad that they're acknowledging it was bad

[00:27:43] because even when candidates do a bad performance in a debate, they never say they had a bad performance debate. They'll never say that. But that's how monumentally and colossally bad that was that they have to say, OK, I find it was bad.

[00:27:57] Here he was not taking any cold medication. That is what I can speak to. I've asked the doctor, his doctor, and that's what he stated to us. After the debate, oh, it's a cold medication. Get examined by a doctor or did he get a neurological scan?

[00:28:13] A neurological scan. Yes. Look, we think he's brain damaged. Is that just to take a step back? It was a bad night. We understand that it was a bad night. Just keep recycling. And the president has spoken to this. And he understands that.

[00:28:33] And so have I said how awful she is at her job? Anything beyond what I just shared, the president has regular annual physicals that we release in a thorough report. We're going to continue to do that. I don't have anything else beyond that.

[00:28:48] Is there a truck backing up in the restroom there or something? I just don't have anything beyond that, beyond the question of a neurological. Tell me what do you see? Well, you continue to say it was just a bad night.

[00:29:01] But is there an explanation then for why it was so bad? If it's not his stamina, if he prepared. Did you say stamina? For so long, if it's not a problem with his mental fitness. What happened that night? What did we see?

[00:29:17] I will also add that the president also spoke to this as well. He said, I'm not as smooth as I used to be. I don't debate as well as I used to. I don't walk as easily as I used to.

[00:29:30] But one thing that he knows is how to deliver for the American people. He understand that. He understands that he's not a young man. Obviously, he said this. And but his focus is going to continue to deliver for the American people on on the on the.

[00:29:46] All right. All right. So in other words, he's old and he's not as sharp as he once was, aka cognitive decline. What are we arguing about here then? All right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
