[00:00:29] My apologies, let me start. My apologies. So I had the caller, Jonathan. People have identified him as a seminar caller. Rush Limbaugh used to talk about them, right? The seminar callers. They're not actually calling to argue or discuss things in good faith.

[00:00:48] But we then went to break, because I kept him on that entire third segment of the last hour. And then he accused me of not allowing anybody with a different opinion to talk, which was kind of bizarre, considering how long he was on the air with me. But he, so I let him go and then we went to break. But then coming out of the break, I forgot, or during the break, I forgot to check my emails and tweets.

[00:01:12] And so I'm going to go over them now. So we're going to, these are messages. So if you're listening on the podcast, these, all these messages and tweets are from topics in the, in the last hour. So you should probably go and just listen to that one first. If you're on, if you're listening on the podcast, go to episode two for today, hour two.

[00:01:32] All right. So first we talked about Leticia James, New York attorney general. She's being probed, ew, but she, she's being probed for potentially federal more crimes related to mortgage fraud. So a couple of people commenting on that. Susan said, Pete, doesn't it sound like Leticia James projected her guilt onto Trump as well as being insanely jealous and hating him irrationally? Yeah, it does. You know what it reminds me of?

[00:01:59] The prosecutor down in Atlanta, Fannie Willis, like the stuff that she was doing in the midst of such a high profile case. When you know people are going to be digging through your, you know, professional and personal life. Like, why would you do this sort of stuff?

[00:02:21] And I think that there is, um, I think there is a psychological glitch going on in some of these people. I think when you, you know, you rise through the ranks of, you know, political office and such, I think that, um, well, I mean, there are more sociopaths in the ranks of the elected officials than I think really any other, maybe lawyers and media. So I think that's, you know, there's this feeling that like, I'm never going to get caught. I'm too good. I'm smarter than everybody else.

[00:02:52] And all that. Um, Greg says, just when I thought these clowns on the left couldn't get any dumber, what moron would flamboyantly prosecute a U S president while doing the thing you're accusing the defendant of? Is this real life? No, Greg, this is fantasy. We're caught in a, nevermind. Um, Bob says, uh, oh, regarding Jonathan's call, um, that the volume, and when he was talking about that chart, the volume indicates trades,

[00:03:21] not direction. Each trade equals a seller plus a buyer. Caller is a seminar buffoon. There you go. That's from Bob and Angela. Subject line conspiracy. I love it when you make them sweat and call them out. He never had one thing he could say. He obviously just called to create zero substance. Keep digging. Love the show. Angela.

[00:03:46] Uh, thank you, Angela. I appreciate it. Um, on the Letitia James, um, story, Gary says on Twitter, my assumption on Letitia James is that she is defrauding the bank. Commercial real estate rates are based. Oh, sorry. Rates are different, uh, based on, hang on a second. Commercial real estate rates are different than residential.

[00:04:14] I think most commercial real estate loans are five years that adjust, probably at higher rates than a residential fixed 30. I have a commercial vehicle for my business that is 2,500. The auto loan rate is over twice as much as what it would be for a non-commercial vehicle rate. I have checked with credit unions and they wouldn't do a loan on a commercial vehicle.

[00:04:38] That's interesting. Um, and then, uh, old guy get off my lawn says one to four units is designated residential real estate and will have lower interest rates above four units is designated commercial real estate and would have higher interest rates.

[00:04:59] So that's the explanation for why the, the, the place that she bought in Brooklyn years ago, like in the, I think in 83 or something, she bought this place years ago and kept saying it was only four units, but it apparently has five. And that would, that would be the material difference is that if you're four units or fewer than you're in the real, you're in the, uh, the residential side, anything more than four units. Now you're commercial and you get higher interest rates. So that seems to be the explanation on that.

[00:05:29] Um, let me see. This is from Russ. I'm sure A.G. James would not have done it intentionally, but under reporting the number of units on her properties could be used to hide income and inflate expenses per unit for tax purposes. There was another potential explanation. Um, Trent says that caller, Jonathan was crazy. Did he not listen when the tariffs went into effect?

[00:05:59] Where you were not happy about Trump's plans? I think you spent three full shows on the topic, pushing back against him and some of your listeners. Yes, I did. It, uh, it went on for about a week. I did an appearance on a radio program up in Raleigh and Greensboro that got me accused of being part of the globalist cabal.

[00:06:20] And I kept the secret hidden for so long. Who knew it would be the tariffs position that would have exposed me. But, um, yeah, I said, I'm, and what have I said about the tariffs this entire time? I've, I've, I've, I've repeated several talking points, if you will, but they are simply, I could very well be wrong. I could be the fish that doesn't know it's wet because I grew up in this free trade water, right?

[00:06:47] Where we wanted free trade. And there is this other competing theory, the balanced trade theory or model that took off in the late nineties. And I say took off among like 0.1% of economists.

[00:07:04] And so that's the fight that is now occurring. I have always been for fair and free trade. Okay. It's gotta be fair. And if we're being blocked access into their markets, then fair is we're blocking your access into our markets, which is why we shouldn't be dealing with China like we do.

[00:07:25] Also, I don't like trading with, you know, communists and enemies. We shouldn't be doing that. But the theory at the time was that if we help China open up, they will recognize the error of their ways to like the Soviets did. The problem there is that that's not why the Soviet Union fell. They didn't fall because, you know, people were like, wow, look at this. I can get cheap goods from America or something. Oh, I wanted that, you know, Texas instrument calculator so bad. No, that wasn't it.

[00:07:55] It was, well, rock and roll music. That was probably part of it. You know, youth rebellion, but it was because the flaws in communism are self-defeating. It will destroy you from the inside. It eventually collapses as they always do. So we just had to wait them out and keep them on lockdown. And that's what we should have been doing with China instead of opening them up and then hoping that they'll, you know, come around to see things the way we do.

[00:08:20] But instead, we just enriched them and funded their revolution. Not a good idea. Anyway, so if, oh, and then this one was regarding the North Carolina, there are two bills in the North Carolina legislature to prohibit the sale of agricultural land around military bases to China, basically, and Iran and Russia.

[00:08:48] And so RH pubs, whatever says on Twitter. So if they're a friendly country today, but then become an adversary, is their land confiscated? Hmm. That's a good idea. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like if we go to war with a country and that country owns land in our country, then we would just seize that land. That does. I think that tracks.

[00:09:14] 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.

Yeah, yesterday, April 15th.

[00:10:42] The committee was hearing the House Education Committee and they were hashing out the details of House Bill 636. The name of that bill is entitled Promoting Wholesome Content for Students.

[00:11:01] You can obviously see why Democrats would be angry about this. They vigorously objected to the measure that would ban sexually explicit materials from public school libraries.

[00:11:16] They got very angry yesterday during the committee meeting. The bill would direct local public school units, so districts basically, to adopt policies for reviewing library media to ensure that it is age appropriate, has literary value, and complies with laws like the Children's Internet Protection Act.

[00:11:48] Again, you can see why Democrats are so mad about this bill. How dare you prevent me from pushing pornography in front of your kid's face? I had an idea, actually, when I was reading this story. I thought, you know what, maybe I'm wrong. Like, it's good to self-examine, think, OK, well, what is the other side of this argument?

[00:12:10] Maybe they've got a point here, and maybe they've got a point here, and so maybe I'm wrong. And then let's open that door, right? OK, so I'm wrong, and this is actually, this kind of material is age appropriate for the kids in, you know, second grade. They should be reading comic books with, you know, drawn pictures, graphic depictions of various forms of intercourse.

[00:12:34] Like, that's a good thing, right, to get kids familiar with this. OK. You know we're all going to die, too. You know that? Everybody, no one gets out of this life alive. So, maybe we should, I don't know, maybe do some snuff films for them, too? Maybe, could we do that?

[00:12:58] You know, like, actual videos of people getting killed or dying. Like, why not? Get them exposed to that. Get them, you know, made aware. So, you know, they won't be as afraid of it and all. Like, I'm just trying to, I'm thinking through the principle, the standard, which obviously is nuts. It is nuts.

[00:13:20] We make these determinations all the time for age appropriateness. That's why we have ratings on movies. Democrats don't care about that, right? Why don't Democrats, why don't we see Democrats out there, you know, picketing with their signs at movie theaters?

[00:13:42] Demanding that, you know, the rating system be abolished because they need to have your kid dragged into some rated X movie or NC-17. Do they even do those anymore? Remember, that was a big deal, the NC-17. Wasn't that worse than R, which I thought was weird because R is for 18 and older, right? I don't even remember. But we do this all the time. We do it all the time. The labels are there, right, in order to,

[00:14:12] tell parents, hey, this has explicit language. Hey, this has references to smoking. By gosh, you see these warnings all the time on every TV show now. Why? It's so you can ban that show. No, it's not a ban. No one is saying that the show must be taken off the air. It must be banned. They're saying curate, curate, make a decision.

[00:14:39] Whether you want your kid to see this or not, based on a trigger warning, if you will. Right, lefties? You guys were all about the trigger warnings for, well, probably like three years or so. That kind of burned out. But you guys were all about these trigger warnings. That's what the rating system is. That's why they put the stupid things, oh my gosh, you better be careful because this has mild violence or something on this TV show.

[00:15:08] I was watching one and it said something like suicide was one of the warnings. And it's like, well, that's a spoiler. Like, why are you telling me that? Why would you say that? Why would you put that warning on the show? It's the season finale. I think it was actually White Lotus. It's the only one I watched. Christy watched the show.

[00:15:32] I watched the last season finale because I said, like, I see this stuff. This show is being talked about all over the place. So, like, I just, I got to watch one episode. So, I have a general understanding of the concept of what it is. So, I didn't know any of the stories or anything. But when you put that warning on the beginning of the show, suicide, like, wow, okay. I think someone's probably going to, you know, commit suicide or something. Or try.

[00:15:59] So, I just, I'm so fed up with this, with the fake argument that they make about this particular book. But, on the other hand, it's very helpful for people like me who are on the political right that makes it easier to win people over to my side. Because I feel like most parents understand the concept of curating reading materials for their kid.

[00:16:27] It's why you buy a book that's not too advanced for your child at the early ages. Because they don't understand what they're reading. Right? You don't give them some kind of heavy material dealing with, you know, existential dilemmas. They're just, they're too young. Their brains are not fully formed. You just need to teach them how to spell cat at this point. Right? But, yeah, Democrats, very, very mad about House Bill 636. They really would like your kid to see the point.

[00:16:57] I mean, I guess that might be a winning political message. We'll find out. All right. So, spring is here. A time of renewal and celebrations.

As we do on every third Wednesday of the month, we chat with Stacey Matthews, a.k.a. Sister Toldja. And she is over at redstate.com. And you can read her work there, redstate.com. Hey, Stacey, how are you? Hey, good to be on with you today. Oh my goodness, your phone connection is terrible.

[00:18:22] Are you standing next to a microwave? No. No, it's better. That's better. That's a little bit better. Okay. Okay. So, is society so crazy now that Piers Morgan makes sense? Is that what happened? Like, the entire Western civilization went so nuts that now Piers Morgan seems sort of sane? It's not just Piers Morgan.

[00:18:46] People like Bill Maher, who probably five or six years ago, you and I were laughing at on a daily basis. These people are slowly being red-filled. It's a good thing, but it's just a sign of the times, you know, with how far the left has gone that even some of their most stalwart defenders are abandoning ship. Well, and it's over issues. I saw, where was this? RNC Research, the Twitter account. So, the Republican Party pushing out, you know, various narratives and such.

[00:19:15] But they, I think they're correct in this. They said, here's what Democrats are prioritizing this week. Deported illegal alien gang members, elite Ivy League universities with massive endowments, and men playing women's sports. Like, that's, those are the hills they're choosing to fight on. It's, it's bizarre, even with the, the dirty books in the libraries issue. Like, it's all still this sort of same thing where they've found the least popular positions to take, and they just take them and, and run with it.

[00:19:44] And, uh, this, uh, case of what Mahmoud Khalil, um, out of Columbia University is another one of these cases, and you wrote about it. Right, yeah. Piers Morgan was, um, uh, on a, on a, on a, on the Bill Maher program a few days ago, Pete. And, um, he made sense on this issue, and he kind of turned the left's arguments around on them, on the Mahmoud Khalil case. You know, they're trying to make it sound like his First Amendment rights are being violated and that sort of thing.

[00:20:12] But he's, you know, he's on, he's here on the green card. And like Marco Rubio said, if, if on his application, you know, to come to America, he had put anything on there about, you know, supporting Hamas and wanting a worldwide intifada and all that, his application would have been rejected. So it's kind of like, um, you know, I mean, that, that just boils it right down to, to what the issue is about.

[00:20:35] And what Piers Morgan said was, if this guy, if, if, like, if Piers Morgan, for example, um, had come to America, you know, on a green card and whatnot, and then he proceeded to go to Columbia University and whip up white supremacist mobs against black students and have them terrorized, um, the left side had no issues with, with having them deported immediately.

[00:20:56] Um, you know, virtue signaling about it, but because it's, it's, um, a person who clearly hates Jews, um, they, they're treating him, him and his case differently. And it kind of makes you wonder. Right. Well, if somebody comes into your, your house and says, I want to destroy your house and you, you are under no obligation to allow them to stay in your house. Like it's a, it's a pretty basic concept.

[00:21:23] That's it just, it, it, it's another example of, of how the left picks their poster kids for various issues. And I don't understand why they pick the ones they pick when there are better, uh, poster kids out there for them to choose. Um, and this is just another one of them, this Khalil guy, um, from Columbia university who literally said, uh, and the quote here is I support Hamas. I support global intifada. I support the destruction of Western civilization. Like what?

[00:21:53] No, you don't get to stay. You don't get to come here and overthrow our country. I think nobody should have any, any sympathy for this person. I know that you've seen a lot of reports and this is the real interesting thing is the media is still doing their thing. You know, you have Democrats doing their thing. Uh, it's still repeating the same mistakes they made ahead of the 2024 election with the positions that they take, Pete. But the media is doing the same thing in every media report.

[00:22:20] Nearly every media report you see about this guy. He's, he is a lawful citizen. Yeah. It's like the Maryland dad story. Right. It, it, every media, it's like they want people to know, Hey, the Trump administration is trying to deport a legally American citizen who is here legally. I think it's just, Oh, it's just, it's just maddening the way they play these war games. Let's talk about Barrett Evans.

[00:22:46] Uh, and also the fact that Ford motor company apparently has a chief learning officer. Yeah. And I'm still trying to figure out what that means. There were a lot of things said on Twitter about what a chief learning officer was that aren't repeatable on the radio. Yeah. I'm a, I'm the CLO at Ford. Like, Oh, a CLO. What's that? Chief law enforcement officer or something? No, no, no. It's a chief learning officer who apparently. Learning officer that has a lot of learning to do. Yeah.

[00:23:16] His name is Barrett Evans. And he, and I haven't heard any update as to whether Ford has responded to this, but at the time I wrote my piece at redstate.com, Barrett Evans was a chief learning officer or the chief learning officer at Ford. And he went on the thread social media app to talk about how he was triggered by a man who was on a flight with him, an elderly man who he says watched Fox News the entire flight.

[00:23:45] And once they departed the plane and were headed to their next destination, this, this chief learning officer for Ford, he said he saw the elderly man, his wife get in a wheelchair to be pushed to wherever it was they were going. And he promptly confronted them and told them that because they were using wheelchairs, they supported DEI. Let me, last I checked, the D in DEI does not stand for disabled.

[00:24:14] No, nor does the E or the I. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's, uh, they're, they're needing assistance in a wheelchair. And so therefore that's a DEI and he, and he goes up and can be, now I guess the question is, did this actually even happen? We don't even know. That was my question too. Yeah. Because, you know, the left, the virtue signals on what love to embellish, you know, their, their cred. So this, this may or may not have happened, but what made this all kind of crystal clear as to what this guy was all about was when you saw

[00:24:43] a picture that was posted of him on social media, people that did their digging and whatnot, and found a picture of him with someone who was presumably his partner standing in front of a rainbow flag. Mm. Mm. Um, so we, we know that this person, um, probably wouldn't have his job at Ford if it wasn't for DEI. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the chief learning officer has something to do with DEI stuff at Ford. Right. Exactly. Exactly.

[00:25:10] He, like it, like other people said, he wouldn't have, probably would not be working at Ford unless it was for DEI. Yeah. So of course he's going to be a proponent of it, but imagine the kind of person you have to be. And again, we're just assuming for, for purposes of discussion that this story that he told was true. Imagine thinking that going online and bragging about harassing, aggressively harassing an elderly couple getting in wheelchairs. Imagine thinking that makes you look good. Right.

[00:25:39] Think about the depravity of the mind here for somebody to think that that actually would make them look good. Yeah. Um. And it's got like 100,000 likes on Threads. Well, and. Seriously. Threads is the Facebook version of Twitter, which I, I'm surprised it's actually still around. Um. You mean old Twitter where, where, where the lunatics ran the asylum. Right. Exactly. But now I think they got cannibalized by Blue Sky as well. So there are all these.

[00:26:06] Lots of places for the left to run to, uh, to avoid any kind of pushback on their narratives. Um. You have one other thing that I wanted to ask you about, because I wasn't aware of this until today. You do a caregiver's diary on redstate.com as well. And I read this one that you, the most recent one you had, um, about the bird feeders. My wife kids me because I have, I like looking at birds. I mean, I haven't, we haven't done the bird feeder route yet.

[00:26:34] I have owned bird feeders in my time. But, like, this was, uh, this was a nice story, I thought. And, um, but that after your, your dad passed away, you're now taking care of your mom. Um, and somebody, your sister gave you a bird feeder. Yes. Yes. And I appreciate you reading that and bringing up our VIP program at Red State. Um. Yeah. Um. Back in 2022, um, in the summertime, and I'll try to make this quick. Um. We lost my dad after a long battle with kidney disease.

[00:27:02] And four months later, we learned that my mom had colon cancer. And in the middle of that, um, my sisters were trying to do things to cheer us up and to take our minds off of our thoughts, um, about my dad. And they bought my mom a bird feeder. Um. Because my mom really likes birds and she likes watching the bird feeders. And I grumbled about it at first, um, because I knew I was going to have to maintain it. And at the time, the squirrels were getting to the bird feeder and it drove me crazy because I knew I was going to have to spend a lot of money to keep refilling the feeder.

[00:27:32] So, but as time went on, I became to really enjoy the feeders. Um. And I actually ended up getting new feeders, new shepherd's hooks, setting things up to where, you know, both mom and I could get visuals on the birds. And it just, um, it just reminded me, you know, once I kind of came to the conclusion that, hey, I'm into the bird feeder thing, it just, um, it was just another reminder to me, um, that we, we really need to pause and enjoy the simple things in life.

[00:28:01] Um, you know, we don't do that enough. You know, for me, my mind is a little overly analytical. I was a little bit scroogey about the bird feeder at first. Um, but it really is a reminder to slow down and, and to, and to just enjoy the simple things because that's really what life's all about. Yeah. It's a, it was a, uh, it was a nice piece. I enjoyed it thoroughly, uh, as I do our conversation. So we'll talk again, uh, in about 30 days, if that's all right with you, Stacey. I would love it, Pete. Thank y'all. All right. Yes, ma'am. You too. That's Stacey Matthews.

[00:28:31] You can read her work at redstate.com. Uh, and that, uh, the caregiver's diary that she writes is part of their VIP program, redstate.com. 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.

[00:28:59] So you can compare coverage and verify information. You can check it out at check.ground.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.ground.news slash Pete.

I'd be surprised if he's still here, but Dave has been hanging on for a while. So let's see if he's still there. Hello, Dave. Absolutely. Wow. Because I need to get this off my chest. Uh-oh. Okay.

[00:29:55] As conservatives, we want smaller government. We are waiting on the government to take these books out of schools. We need to teach our kids at the home level to stay away from this garbage. Yeah, that doesn't always work, though. Of course it doesn't, but we teach our kids not to put their hands on the hot stove. Yeah, that didn't work for me either. I still touched it.

[00:30:25] Oh, wait. It's just like you can only do so much, though, right? And it's one thing. I mean, that's like saying, you know, you teach your kids don't smoke cigarettes. But then if they went to school and the school is selling packs of cigarettes, you know, in the cafeteria, that makes it harder for the kid to not cave into the peer pressure. That makes perfect sense. Yeah. But I know I understand. Like, I'm not discounting. Yeah, it starts in the home. You are absolutely correct. It starts in the home.

[00:30:55] And I just think that by that you that the schools, by doing what they're doing currently, they are working at odds with parents who are trying to do just that. Does that make sense? Absolutely. Yeah. All right. I love what you do. I love what you do. Thanks, Dave. I appreciate it, man. Yep. Yep. All right. Take care. Thanks for hanging on. By the way, along these lines, breaking news out of the UK.

[00:31:26] You may want to sit down for this in a unanimous decision of the UK Supreme Court. They have ruled that the terms woman and sex refer to. A woman and sex. This is a big day.

[00:31:54] The word woman means a biological woman. Who knew? I mean, besides like, you know, 99% of the planet. But who knew that? Who knew UK would do that? There's a thing that they have over there called the Equality Act of 2010. 2010. And there are words in the law that refer to words of woman and sex that are in the law. And the leftists have been trying to redefine these terms.

[00:32:23] Well, it just says woman. So, and that's why there's been this push. You know, trans women are women. Like, there's a reason why they do that. Right? The ideology corrupts the language in order to control the debate. So, when you corrupt the language by saying this thing is this other thing, and then people don't want to offend you. They're being nice or they feel, you know, intellectually inferior. Or they just go along, get along, whatever.

[00:32:51] Well, that expert knows what they're talking about. So, I guess that's true. And then it's like, okay, well, then they're all women. Everybody's a woman. That's great. Now, all of these laws that are just about women, now they apply to trans also. And like, oh. So, they've rewritten the law without having to actually rewrite the law. And what the UK Supreme Court said today was that in this law from 2010, it was written,

[00:33:18] the word woman and sex, we're referring to biological women and biological sex. I didn't think that our, you know, society had gotten to the point where we needed to say such obvious things. But here we are. Here we are. This is the same thing that the left did in America when they, and they still are, attempting to rewrite, what, Title IX,

[00:33:43] to make gender and sex mean either the same thing or not the same thing, depending on which argument advances their ideology. Same playbook. Right? Sex is not gender. Unless, of course, it's Title IX, in which case then that's what it totally means. It's the same thing. So, you can't discriminate against, you know, boys wanting to play in girls' sports. And that's the side, by the way, that the left is taking. That's the side that Democrats are taking. Not a good position, not a good argument to make.

[00:34:12] But we'll see how it plays out. All right. That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
