[00:00:30] Pete and I follow each other on Twitter. You should follow me too. Why not? At Chris Krok Show, that's at Chris Krok Show, C-H-R-A-S-K-R-O-K. 704-570-1110 is our number. Check this out. Breaking news.

[00:00:42] First of all, we talked about in the first hour of the Pete Kaliner Show today at noon, we talked about the Democrats showing up and sneaking in. Sneaking in as a bus full of illegals was allowed into the ICE prison facility, the detention center in New Jersey. And instead of scheduling an appointment so they could exercise their congressional oversight, they intentionally chose the whole plan is this.

[00:01:13] Let's sneak in and then when police, ICE, when ICE, not police, but when federal officers, when ICE officials stop us, we'll tussle with them and we'll claim that they beat us up or abused us or physically assaulted us, even though we will physically assault them. Now, I'm not saying the plan was to assault the officers, but I will tell you this.

[00:01:37] The plan was to sneak in, which is dishonest, which is inappropriate. Well, we're going to sneak into a federal prison and then if ICE tries to stop us or their officers, we're going to tussle with them. And then whatever happens, happens. We'll go nuts. We'll make it a big scene and then we'll claim we're the victims. Ready? Break! You know, like a football team.

[00:02:07] Well, as you know, the mayor of Newark, who's running for governor as well, this is his campaign. I'm going to sneak into an ICE facility where over 75% or more, 75% or more of every illegal in that ICE detention facility is convicted of a felony or charged with a felony, such as MS-13 gang members, such as rapists, such as murderers.

[00:02:35] And so the Democrat Party, their number one concern, their constituency is the illegal immigrant, particularly the ones who are in jail, particularly the ones who commit violent thomies. That is who they care about. For example, Kilmar! Kilmar! Kilmar Obrego Garcia. It's unbelievable. You know that he was paid, his boss, quote-unquote. Remember when he was pulled over by the Tennessee State Trooper? It's on body cam.

[00:03:05] He said, this is my boss's car. Who is his boss? His boss is a convicted human smuggler, an illegal convicted smuggler who sits in jail for human smuggling. And that boss has now been talking to the feds, and that boss says, yes, I paid Kilmar many times, not just once, several times. I don't know the exact amount of times. I paid Kilmar to do human smuggling.

[00:03:34] Yes, to smuggle illegals into this country illegally. Yes. Kilmar's a human smuggler. I paid him to do it. I'm his boss. He was right on that tape. On the body cam. We also know that a second order of protection that was really bad. I'm sure you've heard the audio of Kilmar's esposa, his wife, saying that I'm afraid of him. I have bruises. I have pictures. I have videos. He beat me. That was a new one that came out. My sister saw him beat me, and she reported it to the police, too.

[00:04:05] All sorts of stuff. So he's a wife beater. He's a human smuggler, according to his boss, who he says is his boss. And he's also an MS-13 member. So just a wonderful man. This is the kind of people that Democrats care about. They really care for them. And so they don't care about people in the city of Newark, New Jersey, or Newark who are just struggling to get by to pay their bills or to buy groceries because of Bidenomics.

[00:04:34] Remember, Bidenomics is working. And so they care about the people that are murdering their constituents. They care about the people that are raping their constituents. They care about the people that are taking their constituents' jobs and depressing their constituents' wages. That's who they care about. And they care about them so much, even if they're convicted of violent felonies or charged with violent felonies, they want to bust into the jail, and they want to just hug them, love on them, and see how they're doing.

[00:05:03] And so that's what caused this ruckus. I played you audio of it earlier on the Pete Conner Show. But now, right now, breaking news, a whole bunch of quote-unquote pastors, I use that term loosely, are standing up and they're blocking the ICE facility in New Jersey. This is the Democrat Party, and this is their supporters. So you have these fake pastors. I mean, maybe – I don't consider them authentic pastors, authentic Christian pastors.

[00:05:33] I'll leave it at that because they're fighting for something that's not biblical. But let me just play you audio of all these pastors linking their arms, blocking the entrance to ICE moments ago.

[00:05:57] Okay, so you've got about, I don't know, 20 or 30 supposed pastors there linking arms and blocking the ability to get into that same facility that the Democrats snuck into and assaulted ICE officers at. So this is part, duh. So this is their new place. This is their new mecca, their new facility. This is their new area to gather and fight. We care about those rapists and murderers and MS-13 members in there.

[00:06:26] We care about them. And we think they should – what are they – you know what's interesting? What are the Democrats fighting for in this and these pastors? By the way, it's totally unbiblical to be fighting for illegals, to support no borders, to support no boundaries, to support breaking the law, to support disobeying the government, to disobey the law of the land, that kind of stuff. So – but what are they ultimately wanting? Are they wanting these terrorists freed?

[00:06:56] Are they wanting these murderers and rapists freed? I don't understand. Do they realize that inside of this prison, it is so much nicer than an American prison? Do they realize that their doors are not even locked? At night, they sleep with the doors unlocked. Do they realize that they have dominoes tables, weightlifting? What else? They have so many neat places.

[00:07:24] They also have computers with webcams. Everywhere there are phones saying if you want to call your consular, you can call your consulate. And, hey, if you want to self-deport, whether you're charged or convicted of a crime, if you want to self-deport, you can. We'll pay you $1,000 plus pay for your fee. And, in fact, the qualities of this prison, private prison for ICE, are so nice. You cannot – there is not one federal or state prison in America for our citizens.

[00:07:52] There's not one that is at the level of this one is at. But if you're going to detain illegals in a nice facility, the standards have to be much higher than our prisoners. These people, if they really care about folks, should be fighting for jobs, for wages, should be fighting for lower prices, should be fighting for American prisoners and American prisoners who are getting nowhere near this level of treatment. But yet they want to just – they care so deeply about murderers, rapists, and terrorists and people charged with those crimes.

[00:08:22] They're not even supposed to be here. They're legally here. It blows my mind. And then the politicians, the Democrat parties, let's sneak in there, then let's assault the officers and say we're assaulted. There you go. That's their plan. 7-0-4 – I love that they're there again today. It's just – they'll be clowning themselves. 7-0-4 – 5-7-0 – 11-10, 7-0-4 – 5-7-0 – 11-10. What is their ultimate goal here? What do you think their ultimate goal is here? To abolish ICE, to allow people to rape us and murder us and to stay?

[00:08:52] I don't know. What if we did abolish all these ICE prisons? What would they then be protesting? Would they protest the jails if we put the illegals in the jails? I don't know. Fascinating, isn't it? I think it's all a ruse, a smokescreen, and a political game. That is what I think 110%. Coming up next, too, we're going to get back into Iran, the freeing of an American hostage today, an American-Israeli hostage. All that's coming up next. And what should we do with Iran? How should we end the nuclear program? How should we stop this? All that's next.

[00:09:21] It's Chris Crockett for Pete Callender on the Pete Callender Show. All right. So spring is here, a time of renewal and celebrations.

A lot of people are praying for him and the folks involved in that funeral. So that's very nice of you guys. On Twitter, follow me on Twitter, at Chris Croccho, C-H-R-I-S-K-R-O-K.

[00:10:45] What should we do with Iran? How would you like to stop Iran from getting a bomb? Do you think we should just continue to negotiate and hope they don't make a bomb? Absolutely not. I'm going to share a few highlights from the former publisher or editor, I believe, of the Wall Street Journal. She wrote this in the journal yesterday. Iran saw what happened to Ukraine. By the way, I'm going to say this first.

[00:11:13] Iran should bomb their nuclear facilities. We just discovered, by the way, as you know, Fox News exclusively reported a new site that has been unknown. It's been going on for 10 years, this site. 2,500 acres. It's a code-named Rainbow Site by the Iranian officials. It's been in operations for over a decade. The primary function of the Rainbow Site is to extract tritium. T-R-I-T-I-U-M. Tritium.

[00:11:40] It is used for one purpose, primarily. It's a radioactive isotope to enhance nuclear weapons. Unlike uranium enrichment, tritium has virtually no peaceful or commercial applications. They are going to get a bomb, and they're going to threaten us and blackmail us into doing whatever they want. And if they don't, if we don't, they're going to blow up Israel, and they're going to blow us up. They want to kill every Jew on this planet, and they want to kill every American. They call Israel.

[00:12:09] They were just chanting a death to America yesterday before Trump goes to the Middle East today to do negotiations, including Iran. They were chanting death to America, and the Ayatollah said, indeed, yes, something of that nature. He totally agrees with it. Yes, you're exactly right. Something of that nature here. He said, your judgment is right when the crowd chanted death to America in Tehran. And this is very, very true.

[00:12:36] In a Fox News column, Iran will want these negotiations to continue for as long as possible. They will try to wear out and exhaust U.S. negotiations and concessions. That is exactly right. We must bomb them. We are the only nation in the world that has the bunker-busting bombs. We have newer ones because they're going to need to go down 350 feet plus into their underground bunkers.

[00:13:04] And we're going to have Israel do it with us. And we might even have, I don't know how this is going to go down, but our B-2s, we have six out of 20 of our entire B-2 fleet in the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, and they are going to do the bombing. They're already bombing the Houthis, which will get new in a minute, but they're going to do the bombing. We must do this because they will get a nuclear weapon, and everything will change, and it won't be a horrible situation for us and our allies. Period. It's over.

[00:13:34] When I first, you know, for years you and I have heard about Iran being the largest state sponsor of terrorism. It's easy to say that, but do you really know what that means? If you look at a map in the Middle East, focus on Israel. To the north, you'll see Lebanon. That is where Iran trains and arms Hezbollah terrorists. If you look to the east before you are in the ocean, you will see Gaza.

[00:14:02] And that is who Iran sponsors and trains and arms Hamas. If you look to the north by northeast, you'll see Syria. In Syria, Iran smuggles through on land, except once Bashar al-Assad was deposed. They smuggled in all their weapons into Hamas and to Hezbollah through Syria. They sell massive amounts of drugs to fund their terrorism.

[00:14:27] Syria is another serious issue with Iran and with the Middle East. So they literally fund almost every single entity that is attacking the Jews or us in that part of the world. And the Houthis, I forgot the Houthis, south of Israel. They shut down the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-Amandab Strait and the Red Sea where we had world shipping. Half the world shipping was going through there. They have made them all go around the Horn of Africa, taking two more weeks,

[00:14:55] delaying shipping to the U.S., from the U.S., and all over the world. That's who they are. The largest state sponsor of terrorism, including the IRCG and the CUDS force, including when they are trying to kill journalists in this country, including trying to kill our president, Donald J. Trump, including blowing up discotheques in Europe. They are the biggest terror regime in the world. And they want that bomb. And no negotiating will stop this. Trump said 60 days.

[00:15:24] Trump better make sure he is Trump and Trumpian and not do an Obama. We cannot allow them to enrich uranium. We cannot allow them to have centrifuges. We must tell them you can import uranium from other countries, which is what 20 or 30 other nations do. So you can have your nuclear peaceful program, but you're enriching it so you can make a bomb. One week they can have enough for a bomb, enough fissile material for a bomb. Enough said about me. Let's go to you. Let's go to John. You are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT. Chris in for Pete. Hello.

[00:15:53] Yeah, how you doing, Chris? Good. Hey, what I think, first of all, everything you just said is true. And all the things that they've done to this country and to Israel, even going back as far as, what, Jimmy Carter's administration? Yes. The core of our embassy? Yes, and including bombing our U.S. barracks and killing over 200 of our Marines. Yeah, in Beirut. What Trump ought to do is he ought to go before Congress,

[00:16:20] he ought to get an act of war against Iran, declare war against Iran, go over there and take out their nuclear sites, their military, their infrastructure, their oil, everything. Take it all out, send them back to the Stone Age.

[00:17:05] Thank you. On News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT. Here's a great idea.

[00:18:32] After her 583 days of her 21-year-old being held in captivity by terrorists, sick, wicked, evil terrorists, and Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Whitcoff, passing the phone to his mother. He was born in New Jersey, actually born in Israel, but he's a dual citizenship, dual citizen raised in Tenafly or Tenfly in New Jersey.

[00:19:03] And we got out the last U.S. hostage today. He's in Israel right now here, Steve Whitcoff, passing the phone off to Edan Alexander. I believe his name is Edan Alexander. I'll make sure I get that right. His mother, yes, that's exactly what his name is, Edan Alexander. Here we go. Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God, Edan! Edan! You're in the house. Your son is in the house.

[00:19:32] Anyways, God bless her. God bless her son. And he signed up as an American citizen. He also signed up to go serve in the IDF. And he was kidnapped by the terrorists when they made their terrorist invasion and incursion. So Trump's in the Middle East today. He's arriving today. And part of the negotiations are going to be about Iran and their nuclear abilities. I mentioned earlier they found Fox News got exclusive reporting and pictures of what's called Rainbow Site, which is where they enrich,

[00:20:01] they produce tritium, which is a nuclear bomb enhancer. There's really no use for it. They do want a bomb. Trump has said he's going to give Iran 60 days to work out these negotiations. He has put our B-2 stealth bombers, six out of 20 of them, in the Indian Ocean Diego Garcia base, which we have a joint base there with the UK. And we have been bombing the Houthis there, which I'll mention something about them in a minute.

[00:20:27] But we have to bomb Iran. And this isn't a, you know, regaling and bombing and destroying things. This is an existential threat to America, to the world, to Israel. And really, I mean, that's it. And they're about six months, depending on who you read and believe, they're less than six months or six months to a year for a ballistic,

[00:20:56] intercontinental ballistic missile that could deliver a nuclear payload. And within a week, they can have enough rich uranium. They have enough, apparently, for six bombs, is the last time I heard. Six nuclear warheads. And I'll tell you what else is very fascinating. I'm going to share a couple highlights from a column in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend from their former editor, I believe. They saw what happened, Iran, saw what happened to Ukraine and Libya after they give up their nuclear ambitions.

[00:21:26] What happened? Their leaders were toppled. Their country was trampled over, invaded, et cetera. Trump is, is Trump so eager for a deal? That he might do something like a, an Obama 2.0, a JCPO, a JCPOA joint, you know, the JCPO is what it's called to shorten it up. The Obama agreement between, from 2015. There's a possibility the way Trump and some of his folks have been talking with that

[00:21:56] slightly could happen. That better not happen. There is no option. We must bomb and end their nuclear program to the fullest extent that we can possibly do that. How would you like to see President Trump handle this? 704-570-1110 is our number. 704-570-1110. I talked in the last segment to the caller. He was saying, bomb back to the Stone Age, this and that, bomb the oil fields. The reason why I disagree with him on that is this. The people of Iran want to be free. The people of Iran,

[00:22:25] the overwhelming massive majority of the Iranian people are good people. They hate their regime. They're repressed, slaughtered, and twice they try to overthrow their government. Unfortunately, one of the times they tried to overthrow their government was when former President Hussein Obama was in charge, and he did nothing. Remember that young woman named, I think Nydia was her name? She died, and we saw her on social media or on the internet, and Obama did nothing. It was this close. They were this close to toppling their government, and Obama could have done things,

[00:22:54] whether through the CIA or military or anything, and those folks could overthrow it. Bombing the oil fields, I'm not necessarily against if it'll take out the regime, but the idea is to cripple the regime, to destroy their nuclear program, and to help the people overthrow their government. I'm for whatever, by the way, I'm for totally destroying their navy. There is a ship, a spy ship, in the Red Sea they still use to help the Houthis today. That should be blown out of the water. I don't know why Trump hasn't blown that one out of the water.

[00:23:26] The leftist pastors are lecturing and preaching now, quote-unquote, at the scene of the New Jersey ice facility, where the Democrats snuck into and then assaulted ice officers, over the weekend, Friday I should say, Friday afternoon at, I'm going to be playing you a little more audio of these so-called pastors pleading for illegals who are rapists, murderers, MS-13 members, in a facility that has much, much higher standards than any prisons that our prisoners are at,

[00:23:55] American citizen prisoners are at, whether federal or local or state, and they're protesting that. I'm going to play the latest from them on the scene doing their protest. I do want to hit the China trade deal, and I want to hit the executive order on lowering drug prices. We're going to hit those two coming up next. It's Chris in for Pete Callender, Chris Kroc. 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?

[00:24:24] 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.ground.news.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

[00:24:54] and by whom. The blind spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the left and the right. See for yourself. Check.ground.news.pete. Subscribe through that link, and you'll get 15% off any subscription. I use the Vantage plan to get unlimited access to every feature. Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports Ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent. By the way,

[00:25:21] there's these crazy so-called pastors who apparently are not familiar with Romans 13, which says God gives this government a sword for a reason. If you are obeying the laws of the land, you have nothing to fear, but if you are disobeying the laws of the land, as in being illegal, coming in illegally, or even worse, like the people in this prison, the ICE facility, where 75%, actually over 75%, are either convicted felons

[00:25:50] or are charged with felons like rape, murder, and MS-13 members, he gives the government a sword for a reason. And if you disobey them, you should be fear. You should be living in fear. And he installs them, the government, to exact justice. And so here are these so-called pastors beclowning themselves and chanting, they have now blocked a second ICE entrance to the New Jersey facility where the Democrats the other day

[00:26:19] were snuck in and then assaulted federal officers. Here they are today. Keep on going Let the rain Turn us around We're going to keep on walking Okay, this reminds me, you know what, I was going to church on a Sunday, like I do every Sunday, and there's an overpass and you see these clowns one Sunday morning we're heading in, you see these clowns on the overpass and this is at the height of the Tesla,

[00:26:50] Doge, Elon Musk stuff and they're having their Tesla signs up there and I said, look, I said, look at that, I said, that's their church. That is their church right there. That is their God. That is their faith. That's their way, you know, we go to church and they go to protest. It's a sad place to be. That's your meaning in life, you know? Lost. And politics is your religion. That's a sad place to be. Very sad place to be. But there's nothing biblical

[00:27:18] about supporting illegals, supporting a boundaryless government, supporting a lawless government. There is nothing biblical about that. Even just illegal immigration itself is unbiblical. So, and you know what? People don't, if you don't understand the context, folks like these folks can take a quote and you go, oh gosh, so you got to know what you're talking about. And if you want to defend it, know it. Right? Okay,

[00:27:47] stock market going berserk on the China trade deal. S&P 500 set to wipe out the Liberation Day losses. Everything's back up. Why? Because of course Trump made a deal with China. Now, I am skeptical. I am skeptical. The, the details for now is Trump took the 145% tariff on China and lowered it down to 30. What's 30? 10% which will always stay there. 20% extra is for the fentanyl. Now,

[00:28:16] business reporter Walter Blumberg reported that supposedly that China has agreed to stop fentanyl. But that is not something I've seen officially so maybe, maybe not. Here it is. He tweeted out this earlier. Trump says China has agreed to stop fentanyl. Well, if they do and they make a deal with it then they'll go down to 10% tariffs. Here's the problem. I do not want us to move forward and forget about this in the year or two or three or four or five and to be right back to where we are,

[00:28:46] where we are, where we were, where we have been. We must have China to survive. We must decouple. And we can do a genteel decoupling if you will. But we must decouple. We must, we must re-industrialize our country to the best of our ability within real, within being realistic and that we can't re-industrialize everything. But our own drugs, our own masks, our own gloves, our prescription drugs, everything.

[00:29:16] There is so much that, and by the way, chips, rare earth minerals, all this stuff has got to get out of China because the first thing they were threatening is with, in addition to tariffs against us, you know, retribution tariffs, if you will, reciprocal tariffs, is the critical rare earth minerals. I'm glad we got to deal with Ukraine. I am disgusted that Joe Biden fled Afghanistan and didn't leave our base there of 2,500 soldiers at Bagram Air Force Base worth a billion dollars state-of-the-art

[00:29:44] so we could strike our enemy China if that happens one day. I hope it doesn't, but if it does, and from anywhere in the Middle East. And I've been seeing some stuff that maybe he'll get back on that base and have our 2,500 soldiers behind the wire that'll just pop out and kill terrorists that pop up like Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and such so they don't reconstitute and attack us again. But they've got rare earth minerals in Afghanistan that we could have had access to. But now China does because Joe Biden's an idiot, to be truthful and blunt about it.

[00:30:15] So I'm skeptical. I hope it works out well, but I'm skeptical. China wants to destroy us. China wants to dominate us. China wants to put us under their thumb. They want to treat us like they treat their own people. Where if you go out and protest, they send you a text the next day or that day or a few days later and they say you were at this protest or they don't even tell you. They just say you're going to show up at the police station at this time tomorrow and if you don't we're going to come for you. And when you show up they tell you

[00:30:45] we know where you're at this protest. They punish you whether they beat you, they jail you, whatever. And if you want to go out in times where they don't want you going out or they want to control protests or other things, your phone will have a green or red on it. And when you walk through checkpoints you show them the phone and if it's red you've got to go back to your place. You're under arrest, you left your house. Or they lock you in your house and let you starve to death and die in COVID. They want to subjugate us and treat us the same way they treat their own people. We are there for whatever they want us to be there for and if we act out of line and we get in their way

[00:31:14] we are punished severely. That is what they seek to do is to subjugate us and to dominate the world. So that's number one on that. So I'm skeptical. I hope it works out but I'm skeptical. So quick I'm like now listen, China needed this deal more than we did. Millions of jobs were at stake. Factories were shutting down. Production was shutting down. They have an insanely high unemployment rate

[00:31:43] among young men. Their economy is in tatters. Their real estate market is a joke because they've over leveraged. People have borrowed so much. The Chinese government has given out so much and the housing market is trash. So they're one threat away from collapsing. They hid their books. They cooked their books but the ones that they were showing they hid those recently. Statistics became suddenly unavailable because it's so bad they don't want you to even have a whiff even when they're trying

[00:32:13] to cover up. So I hope so but I'm skeptical. How's that? That's the truth because it was so quick. I am very skeptical and we can take a relief and say oh the economy all the tariffs oh we can take a sigh of relief but we're going to be right back where we were in 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 years. That's my fear. I hope I'm wrong. That's my fear. Trump's executive order to lower drug prices look I'm not an expert in all this but I'm going to tell you this. I'm seeing stuff about first of all apparently we're subsidizing the

[00:32:43] I want to get this right. we are subsidizing Europe's drug prices and lowering the drug prices but this is exactly what it shouldn't be. This is trying to put price controls on the drugs. Trump is wrong to do this it's putting price controls on it. Let me tell you something else. The last person do you remember the last person that introduced price controls? It was a woman named Kamala Harris

[00:33:12] cackling Kamala and her campaign went down like a lead balloon like a lead zeppelin. I do not want to be like Kamala. I do not want our government instituting price controls. There's a way of working on things this is not the way. Price controls not a good two set of words back to back together. Lots of countries out there that are failed states socialist Marxist that have price controls. Not a good idea. Good idea for Kamala not for us.
